Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters Wenqu down to earth Xu Shilin
It’s just that the learning efficiency of the martial arts school is extremely high...
But what surprises the scholars and upper-class dignitaries outside is that all the students who leave the martial arts school have basically become talents. This is what surprises them even more.
Although the directions of success are different, whether they are French, Mohist, businessman or agriculturalist, and although they are not Confucian, they all have good progress and momentum in their respective fields, but it is an indisputable fact. This is great.
No way.
Students trained in Confucian schools are either extremely talented or extremely mediocre.
Needless to say, there is no need to say anything about those who are particularly powerful. Their future is boundless; but it is very bad for students who are particularly mediocre, especially in Jiangnan, where the literary style is at its peak.
Unless you are lucky enough to pass the FAQ and squeeze into the fringes of the ruling class, mediocre scholars with little ability will have a very hard life.
It's okay for those whose families are rich and powerful, but if the family is just a small landowner, life will be really difficult. At the same time, these so-called scholars who have learned some Confucian knowledge, but have no ability at all, are definitely government officials and private citizens.
The most annoying group of people in existence.
If they could let go of their reputation as scholars, they would not have to worry about finding a source of income. At least documents and the like would not be a problem. However, the ways for these mediocre scholars to earn money are not broad, and some jobs that provide stable income are not what they want to enter.
You can get in.
Even if the students trained in martial arts schools are not talented in the imperial examination, their competitiveness in society is quite strong. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are experts in a certain field. As long as their luck is not too bad and they can live a well-off life.
Moisturizing your life is no problem at all.
Although those with money and power look down upon this, it is also a bright spot.
After all, every powerful family must have a large number of bastards. If these children without inheritance rights can make achievements in studying and imperial examinations, it will be of great benefit to the family.
Even if you don't have the talent to study and take the imperial examination, you can at least learn some useful knowledge, and you won't have to worry about making a living when your family separates.
No one is happy with their own children, even those who are not valued are living a difficult life and making outsiders laugh.
Not to mention, it took more than ten years for the martial arts school to cultivate three Jinshi and many scribes who condensed their literary spirit. Fangyan is a very rare and excellent school in Qiantang, not even worse than those small academies.
As a result, powerful families in the county are even willing to send their legitimate sons to martial arts schools to study.
Another point is that the power of Qin Feng Martial Arts School is astonishing. Studying in the school run by the martial arts school, not to mention the academic help, just the accumulation of connections, is not a good place that the county-level tycoons can give up lightly.
It's a pity that the martial arts school is an internal school, and it's not easy for students from outside to get in.
Because of the strength of the martial arts school, even if you want to use some tough methods, you won't be able to do it. Looking at the entire Yuhang Mansion, which one has as hard a fist as Qin Feng's martial arts school?
In the end, families who wanted to send their children to martial arts schools had to arrange for many members of the family to join the martial arts school. In this way, they could save the country and send their children to martial arts schools.
Precisely because his own children were studying in the martial arts school, the entire Qiantang upper class circle, powerful families, and the literati circle were keeping a close eye on the martial arts school.
Naturally, the students who excelled in the martial arts school became celebrities in the upper class circles of Qiantang County early on. Not to mention being regarded as reserve members of the same class, at least they had a deep impression on their hearts.
Xu Shilin, who started to dominate the martial arts school at a young age, has already become a celebrity in the circle of Qiantang dignitaries and scholars.
With the ability and efficiency of the Wuguan School in cultivating talents, if anyone can definitely reach the end of the imperial examination and condense their literary spirit, looking at the batch of students in the Wuguan School, Xu Shilin is undoubtedly the first.
No, after Xu Shilin left school, he quickly became acquainted with wandering on the street.
"Hey, isn't this the young master of the Xu family? How come he comes out to play after class?"
"Ha, it's Uncle Li. I've finished my homework today, so I'm just coming out for some air!"
"It's amazing, young Master Xu. You've finished the whole day's work at noon. It's really amazing!"
"Haha, just so-so. The main reason is that the current classwork is relatively simple!"
"Young Master Xu, please don't fool me. My second boy seems to be in the same class as the Young Master. He is driven crazy by his homework all day long. Even when he comes home from school, he doesn't dare to put down his books. This is what happens at the end of every month.
The test scores are very average, ranking in the middle and lower reaches, but not as talented as the young master!"
"Uncle, maybe it's because the content and progress of what I learned and other students are different. After all, I am so young, and my schoolwork is not that many and heavy!"
"Be humble, be humble. Young Master Xu, please don't be humble. Who doesn't know that Young Master is extremely talented in reading and will have a bright future whether in the literary circle or in the imperial examinations!"
"..."
What does it mean to be in the spotlight and what does it mean to be the focus of the crowd? Xu Shilin is the best example.
It’s true that Qin Feng Martial Arts Hall occupies an entire street, but that doesn’t mean the business atmosphere here is lackluster.
On the contrary, although there are no shops here, and they are all courtyards of various parts of the martial arts gym, there are not a few small vendors here, even compared to the most prosperous commercial streets in the county.
The street where the Qin Feng Martial Arts School is located is naturally called Martial Arts Street. There are a large number of martial artists coming and going here. Whether they are martial arts masters trained by the martial arts school itself or foreign warriors who come to exchange martial arts in the name of the occasion, all of them are big-bellied men.
The daily consumption of food and various snacks is staggering.
It is true that the martial arts hall has a canteen. The martial arts hall canteen only supplies the martial arts masters who are professors and the martial arts masters who are training, as well as the food consumption of the members of the school and the medical department. As for the food supply for other people, they can only rely on the street vendors.
.
Because warriors have strong energy and blood and like to fight fiercely, Lei Hu does not allow other service businesses to appear on the street of the martial arts school. They are the hardest hit areas that cause conflicts. He did not expect that the martial arts gym will have to spend energy to maintain the order around it.
It's just too much trouble.
Fortunately, there are no green-skinned gangsters on Wuguan Street. The martial arts school only needs to plan the location of the vendors. Due to the huge demand, it has quickly become a snack street in Qiantang County. All the snacks famous for Yuhang games can be found here.
I found it, and it was cheap and heavy, so it was very popular among the warriors who came and went.
Later, even the surrounding residents and people were willing to come here to taste various snacks, and Wuguan Street gradually became more and more prosperous and noisy.
Of course, there are no vendors within ten feet of the area where the martial arts school is located, and no vendor has the courage to take advantage of the martial arts academy. It is not just a matter of getting a beating, but also being cancelled.
The qualifications for a stall are really dangerous, and no stall owner dares to try it himself.
Martial Arts Street is a good place. There are fewer dirty things and dirty people. In addition, there are martial artists who come to Qinfeng Martial Arts Hall to study, as well as doctors and apprentices from the medical department, as well as teachers and students from the academic department. With strong purchasing power, you don’t have to worry about encountering problems.
No one would want to leave the stalls here on Wuguan Street if they were harassed.
To be blunt, a prosperous stall here on Wuguan Street is more profitable than a serious shop on the main street, but it's just a little bit harder.
As long as they can make money, the vendors will be happy no matter how hard they work.
Not to mention, their stalls are not the kind of open-air stalls, but are equipped with awnings that can be temporarily dismantled. Although they are much simpler than regular houses, they are also protected from wind, rain and sun exposure.
The operating costs are much less than those of serious shops and restaurants.
With the support of the strong force of the martial arts school, even those dirty people who are greedy for victory will not dare to make trouble in the martial arts street. The repeated visits make the martial arts street become a very lively and prosperous street in a short time.
Of course, adhering to the principle of keeping wealth out of the hands of outsiders, the vendors on Wuguan Street basically have unclear relationships with the martial artists, doctors and teachers of Qinfeng Wuguan. Outsiders have no chance to get involved even if they want to.
It is precisely because of this that the vendors on Wuguan Street basically regard themselves as "one of their own" in the martial arts school. They are extremely friendly and even fawning towards Xu Shilin, who has made a big splash in the martial arts school at a young age.
manner.
Xu Shilin was not old at this time. He was a serious young man. At a self-respecting and sensitive age, he naturally enjoyed the wonderful feeling of being sought after by everyone. Therefore, when he was wandering on the street, he was satisfied with the inquiries and greetings from familiar traders.
He responded to them one by one with a cheerful face, and had no intention of refuting some of their obvious errors and omissions.
He didn't want to leave Wuguan Street, but followed his heart and went to several snack spots to order some snacks and snacks to taste. At the same time, he also enjoyed the enthusiasm of the vendors around him, and he was in a happy mood.
It's just a pity that my parents are not in Qiantang, and my sister Bilian is not in Qiantang either, otherwise my life would have been more enjoyable.
"Is that Xu Shilin, the most popular person in the martial arts school recently?"
At a food stall not far away, several young men dressed as literati saw Xu Shilin's popularity and looked over with curiosity. After figuring out the young man's name, they couldn't help but suddenly spoke.
"Tsk tsk, it's really amazing. I heard that he has learned all the Four Books and Five Classics at a young age, and has made rapid progress in his studies. He is even better than his classmates who are 17 or 18 years old. He really has an incredible talent for reading!"
"Yes, it seems that this martial arts school will perform well in the two imperial examinations in a few years!"
"Oh, talking about this, I can't help but envy you. I don't know how the martial arts school teaches and learns. How did it happen that in just ten years, there were so many academic seeds who are promising to succeed in the imperial examination?"
