Chapter 109 The B-shaped scroll is waiting for the sun to rise
The teaching courses on July 8th were brilliant.
Every item Feng Ziying listed sparked heated debate.
From the major hazards caused by the proliferation of illegal salt, to the various shortcomings in the conversion of old and new grain transportation, from the spread of the White Lotus secret mission, to the slow response of local governments to such civil uprisings, there may be institutional crises, from the non-standardization of industrial and commercial taxation to The factual absence of the investigation mechanism caused by the overlapping functions of Long Jinwei, the Ministry of Justice and even the Ministry of War, from the substantial number of refugees brought about by the continued expansion of the number of kiln workers along the canal to the increasingly obvious resistance of the local gentry to the imperial policies ,…
Feng Ziying talked about all these problems and drawbacks, which shocked Professor Yigan and others, including Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen.
This is not to say how profound this insight is. The key is that at such a young age, he can have such precise and meticulous observation skills, and can even deduce one or two problems that need to be solved urgently. This cannot but be said about his abilities in certain aspects. It's really extraordinary.
In less than ten days, Feng Ziying had already noticed a big change in the way the students in Yishe looked at her.
Chen Qiyu, Fu Zonglong and others have more complicated moods, including Zheng Chongjian and Sun Chuanting, the other two of the Three Great Masters of Shanxi. However, there is also a bit of admiration in the complexity, while Xu Qixun, Song Shixiang, and Fang Youdu only have admiration.
Even several prominent figures in Jiashe highly praised Feng Ziying's ability to observe and judge. For example, He Fengsheng and Fan Jingwen, who are one from the south and one from the north, are known as the Qilins of Jiashe. They also dare to compete with the seniors of Xiyuan. A contending role.
“How about Dongxian?” Qi Yongtai smiled and walked with his hands behind his back.
"Brother Ru Jun has chosen a good talent, but I never thought that this boy would be a disciple of Wu Xun. It is really unbelievable." Guan Yingzhen also stroked his beard and nodded, "If this boy had a better foundation in classics and righteousness, I would I think it’s not impossible to be shortlisted for Chunwei in the next subject.”
"Well, it is true that this student is slightly inferior in the foundation of the classics and meanings. It is not a big problem in the autumn of the next year. But in the spring of the next year, he has to explain strategies and the text of the classics must be very strict. Considering the current situation That's not enough, but Nanshan told me that this kid studies extremely hard and can draw inferences from analogies on his own. He is indeed a talent..."
Qi Yongtai's words shocked Guan Yingzhen. Zhou Chaozong was not a good person. Even though he was slightly inappropriate in character, he would never lie about such things. If Zhou Chaozong really said this, Feng This son Keng is simply a talented person.
"Brother Chengfeng, I have always thought that in the past few years, our academy has gathered talents from the north and south in these two subjects, and I am quite proud of it. I am also quite confident that I will achieve good results in the autumn and spring competitions of the next year. Han Jing said that Needless to say, the distinguished students of the guests, including Lian Guoshi, Song Tongyin, Xu Xie, Cao Wenheng, Fang Zhenru, Ye Tinggui, and Cai Maode, are all extraordinary people. These people have entered the Chunwei Competition, and I am confident. He Fengsheng, Fan Jingwen and Yudi from the first house of the garden also feel very confident. Chen Qiyu and Zheng Chongjian from the second house are also very talented. If the opportunity is right, they will have a chance to pass the exam..."
The expression on Guan Yingzhen's face became richer as he spoke, and his eyes were full of pride.
Many of the students he listed were personally selected by him, and every year there were many students recommended by various provinces. However, Qingtan Academy has always preferred lack over excess, so when Qiao Yingjia recommended Feng Keng to come, he was firmly opposed at first, but later Qi Yongtai still convinced him.
Qi Yongtai's reason is that Qingtan Academy is too closed, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of some gentry and officials. They believe that it is too tilted towards poor students instead of recruiting according to their talents. This kind of selection of students with too strong emotional color is not conducive to the The further growth of Qingtan Academy.
This reason impressed Guan Yingzhen. At first, Qingtan Academy almost only accepted scholars from the north, and there were very few students from the south. It was only after he came to Qingtan Academy that he began drastic reforms and vigorously attracted southern scholars to the academy. This is why southern scholars now account for a small half of Qingtan Academy.
But it is undeniable that Qingtan Academy is still limited to absorbing ordinary scholars. On the contrary, it is more cautious about recruiting officials and children of famous families. The admission of martial arts students this time is undoubtedly a sign to the outside world, that is, Qingtan Academy is truly a place where all outstanding students have the opportunity to study in the academy.
Firstly, this boy's performance is indeed extraordinary. Secondly, this boy's basic knowledge of classics and meanings is a little worse. Even if he can pass the test in Qiu Wei, the standard in Chunwei is much higher and the competition is much fiercer. He is not optimistic about this boy. , in comparison, people like Chen Qiyu, Zheng Chongjian, Sun Chuanting, Fu Zonglong, and even Xu Qixun, Wang Yingxiong, and Fang Youdu are more confident than Feng Keng.
Of course, there is little hope that Feng Keng will be able to study in the next subject. However, if Feng Keng can continue to study hard to make up for the gap in classics and meaning, Guan Yingzhen feels that there is still great hope for Feng Keng in the next six years.
Qi Yongtai could understand Guan Yingzhen's pride and excitement. He also admitted that Guan Yingzhen's arrival had indeed brought considerable changes to the entire academy, and that Guan Yingzhen's relationship with Nanfang Shilin was far better than his own.
His arrival indeed strengthened the connection between Qingtan Academy and the southern scholars, and also made Qingtan Academy begin to increase its influence among the southern scholars, and a group of outstanding southern students began to enter Qingtan Academy.
"Dongxian, our Qingtan Academy is making progress, but other academies are not idle either." Qi Yongtai smiled, "Not to mention Tonghui Academy and Chongzheng Academy, even Diecui Academy is now vigorously recruiting Beizhili and Liaodong Scholars, as for the academies in Jiangnan, they are not to be outdone. I heard that Chongwen Academy and Baima Academy have both announced that they want to compete with us and open their doors to students from Henan and Shaanxi. This has never happened before. They originally But even the students from Guangdong and Guangxi are not interested in it.”
"Brother Chengfeng, what do you mean..." Guan Yingzhen also heard something in Qi Yongtai's words.
"Dongxian, we should not stick to regions and groups. Education without distinction must be truly realized. Whether it is the children of Wuxun or the children of Weizhen, we should treat them equally. Don't you admire Bo Ya?" Qi Yongtai stood still. , "Although Ziying is a noble son, I don't think he has the exaggerated and extravagant habits of those noble children. On the contrary, he is even more hard-working and down-to-earth than ordinary gentry children. He is a talent that can be made. Brother Yu, I hope you can train this son well. ,…”
Guan Yingzhen was slightly shocked. He heard the entrustment in Qi Yongtai's words that he planned to leave, and raised his eyes: "Brother Chengfeng, are you really going to leave?"
Qi Yongtai didn't care and shook his head: "It has not been decided yet, but the situation in the DPRK is uneasy, the trend of fatigue is becoming more and more prevalent, and the people everywhere are facing difficulties. Brother Yu has a premonition that these next few years may be the most difficult ones for the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the new year, if the six departments of Ge Lao cannot cheer up, I am afraid there will be a big mess."
"Brother Chengfeng, can you make it clear?" Guan Yingzhen is still inferior to Qi Yongtai in some aspects, and he himself has to admit this.
"Dongxian, wasn't that teaching assignment a few days ago the best prophecy?" Qi Yongtai smiled bitterly, "The Nine-Border Army is still unsolved even if the tax inspectors are not withdrawn; the White Lotus Sect, the Wenxiang Sect, and the Wuwei Sect are still unsolved. These deceptive mobs are spreading all over Beizhili and Shandong, and there are even Japanese people involved in them. Their conspiracy makes Brother Yu feel that there is hidden murderous intention; the proliferation of illegal salt is like the Huangchao in the late Tang Dynasty, and the court... "
Qi Yongtai did not say any more, but Guan Yingzhen understood this.
When it comes to matters related to the Heavenly Family, it is better to keep quiet.
"The world is getting harder and harder, and we have to move forward even more. There are some personal gains and losses that we can no longer care about." Qi Yongtai glanced at Guan Yingzhen, "I hope Dongxian can also uphold our purpose of running a school and cultivate more talents for the court. Loyal ministers, straightforward ministers and capable ministers who can relieve the king's worries and work for the court..."
“Brother Chengfeng, I will live up to my trust.” Guan Yingzhen responded sternly, knowing that Qi Yongtai should have already intended to leave.
It is not impossible to directly resurrect from the academy president, but it is easy for Qingtan Academy to be imprinted with some kind of mark. Generally speaking, in order to avoid suspicion, even in a formal way, Qi Yongtai will leave the academy first, and then after a few months in the opposition will rise again.
Barring no unexpected events, Qi Yongtai may leave office around the New Year.
Keep up the hard work, it will be released soon. I hope you will support me more!
