Gong Yu originally wanted to explain that he didn't really want to go to these cultural gatherings, but when he saw Zhao Rong's expression on the opposite side was very ugly, his eyes were full of begging, and he even felt deep self-blame, at this time the palace couldn't help but persuade him.
, the palace maid decided to go to those cultural gatherings she liked with her eldest brother again.
Gong Jian did not relax. In response to Zhao Rong's teachings, he selected a few more simple and easy-to-learn books from the books he carried with him and gave them to Zhao Long.
Read these books, and then I will test yours when I have time. Don’t waste this time.
Of course Gong Jian could see that Zhao Rong's mood was getting heavier and heavier now. It could be said that as time passed slowly, Zhao Rong seemed to stay around the two brothers, but there were more and more people who were not like this. The palace didn't know how to persuade them.
, after all, he had already said everything that needed to be said and tried to persuade, but it had little effect on Zhao Rong.
I have said before that Zhao Rong is an enthusiastic, cheerful and kind-hearted young man, but at the same time he is also a delicate and sensitive young man. In this regard, he may have reached a dead end. Anyway, it is not something that ordinary people can persuade with a few words, even with a bow and arrow.
Gong and his brothers went into battle together and gave instructions three or four times, but Zhao Long never really let go of the heavy burden in his heart in this regard. This can only be said to be that over time, Zhao Rong was able to slowly let go.
So Sister Gong could only take out some of the more interesting books she had read. She hoped that Mr. Zhao could find some fun in these books and forget about the pressure in life. He didn't want young people to wrinkle their heads all day long.
He frowned, thinking hard about how to support himself, and it was obviously very simple to solve this matter, but Zhao Rong was really unwilling to cause them more trouble. He admired this young man's idea of independence, but at the same time
He found it a little funny, after all, the way people survive today is actually very simple.
For scholars, the best way to survive is, of course, to take part in the imperial examination and step into the officialdom. This method can not only change a person, but can even change a family, or the society of a family.
Status is also the most respected method of survival among scholars, but not everyone can take this path. Of course, most people who take this path fail to reach their ultimate goal in the end. Life.
Time was wasted on the road to the imperial examination.
If you don't want to increase your worth and be worthy of Miss Tian, you probably don't want to waste your life. It would be a bad idea to walk on this road.
After all, entering the officialdom and scheming with those people is not the ideal life he wants. But the situation in front of him forces him to prove his worth. If he wants to get what he dreams of, he should at least prove that he has the ability to
They have the same value, so participating in the imperial examination is more to prove themselves, not necessarily to change their family's family or to honor their ancestors.
Therefore, Gong Jian does know his true situation. He wants to enter the officialdom, but he does not necessarily have to stay in this dark officialdom for long. He probably only needs to hang around in it. From the outside, Du Yu has
After that, he could leave that chaotic place. After all, he didn't think he had to fight with people and various conspiracies to survive in the officialdom for long.
And those scholars who are not able to pass the public examination, or who have not passed the examination to a level that they are satisfied with, how should they make a living? Most people will probably go to an academy or college to become a teacher. They have no intention of giving up on the imperial examination.
People can continue to study knowledge and teach students at the same time, use the salary earned from being a teacher to support themselves and their family, and continue to take scientific examinations.
And those who have become discouraged on the road of politeness can continue to teach in the new generation, or in other words, find knowledgeable and spiritual young people among their own students to train. This can also be regarded as completing what they have or have not achieved.
Target.
Of course, there are also scholars who return to their hometowns or other places and can come to work as teachers for some additional boys, or they can open their own private schools to recruit some students and teach in classes. This type of people basically rely on teaching.
Educate people in exchange for living capital.
Another group of people have embarked on the path of some petty officials. Among them, those who have connections or have connections may be working as scribes in some yamen, or some clerical jobs such as long history. Are these official positions considered as official positions?
It may be said that it is official, but it is indispensable in every place. And if you can learn from real officials, it is possible that after building a good relationship, you can also pave a career ladder for yourself.
.
And those that don't have much to do, can only do some clerkships or have a limited field of vision, and are not even considered small officials. There may be a way out, but the opportunities are very few, and they are often buried in these clerical jobs all their lives.
among.
The most pitiful possibility is that the lowest situation for scholars is to make a living by copying books and writing letters to others. They probably can't make a few cents in this kind of life. They can barely make ends meet, but this
Basically, it is the most miserable and desolate situation for scholars.
In the past, Gong Jian used to copy books to people in comfort in exchange for some copper coins just to support the family. However, the situation at home went from bad to worse, and the little money the girl gave could no longer save the family's decline. In the end, he
I had no choice but to sell my physical strength. Later, my body was overdrawn and I fainted at the workplace. This shows that the living expenses earned by scholars are very pitiful.
Therefore, because scholars came to the palace for the first time, I felt that Zhao Rong did not seek the possibility of development in this aspect of making a living for scholars. After all, in the palace's view, it was actually the second-best job of copying and writing letters for others, writing letters on behalf of others, and so on.
For a relatively large-scale job, it would probably be difficult to recruit people to do it. That’s not to say
The reason why he is so poor at studying is because he missed the best time to study, and he has never studied anything systematically. Therefore, even if he can recognize words or understand articles, that single stroke of character is really
If you really can't deal with it, this is definitely not a problem that can change the status quo in a year or two.
