Chapter 70 Why Do You Follow Him?
Xie Rongzhao had also heard of studying abroad before, but most of them were things that only rich children would do.
Now I heard that the provincial examination is not just about taking some books, but also about taking some practical talents in the school, and the imperial examination pays more attention to this point.
To put it bluntly, if you study hard, you may not achieve good results, because since the provincial examination, you will have policy and opinions on government affairs.
But if you just blindly seek answers from books, you may not be able to do so.
This involves some practical issues.
There are more difficulties and details here.
An ordinary farmer may not know who is doing things in the county government office, and he doesn't even know which side the county government office door is facing.
A scholar naturally has some understanding of some government affairs in the county government. At least, they know that there are six houses in the county government, and there are also very different things between clerks and clerks.
The rules of governing the dynasty are once the imperial examination is passed, and they are expected to become officials.
For example, after Cheng Jingzhou's father passed the imperial examination, he could become a county magistrate, a teaching in the county school, etc. If he had a strong family power, he could also be a county magistrate.
Since the juren is so generous, the specific affairs of some government offices will inevitably be involved in the exam.
No matter how knowledgeable you are, if you don’t even know how a yamen works, how can you be a good parent?
And where do these knowledge come from?
Is there any in the book?
There must be some, but it won't be too detailed, and you won't see some specific operation details.
Therefore, you have to find a way to experience it yourself.
This involves studying abroad.
Some students went out to study, just to broaden their knowledge, to broaden their horizons, and to famous mountains and rivers.
Some students go out to study in order to understand people's livelihood more and to more truly feel the various relationships between the government and the people.
Of course, if there are more family backgrounds, the children of the clan will be arranged to study with some officials.
To the outside world, it can be said that it is students, relatives, etc., which is nothing more than allowing them to understand more about the way to survive in the officialdom through personal contact.
To put it bluntly, you are still learning the false, empty and empty things in these books at your desk. If you have the conditions, you have already started to really take action and understand some specific rules and details.
This is the gap!
If Xie Xiuwen had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to go on a study tour. Even if he just visited a famous teacher, simply studying would be good. At least it could broaden his horizons and broaden his mind.
But this requires a lot of money.
In addition to the book boys he carries, for safety reasons, most people will always bring two or three capable heroes. Is this money necessary?
In addition, when you go out to stay, eat and drink, everything is inseparable from money.
If you ask someone to do something again, you won’t know how much you have to take out.
Of course, there are also some students from poor families who choose to "travel in poverty", just to go on the road alone, just to increase their knowledge. Such study tours will not cost too much money, but the risk will also be higher.
If conditions permit, Xie Rongzhao naturally hopes that his beautiful father can bring three or four people to the outside, which will also help the beautiful father to be an official in the future.
Xie Rongzhao calculated this way that if the beauty father went out for one month, it would be equivalent to preparing for the cost of five people. This day, it would cost at least two taels of silver, because some places would have to pay for money when entering the city, and when they were out, they could not eat or live too badly, and it would be even more troublesome when they were sick.
By doing this, it will cost 60 taels of silver a month, and you will have to hire cars and horses. If you buy it yourself, it will be another expense.
Several big men were running around, and they might even have to involve some tinkering and repairing clothes...
Xie Rongzhao sighed: "It's not possible. This calculation seems to cost money as long as you go out."
Xie Rongzhao inquired with Cheng's father indirectly that anyone who went out to study would be as long as three months or as many as several years.
Based on her understanding of the beauty father, he will definitely participate in the autumn examination next year. Even if he goes out for a study tour in the spring next year, it will be calculated in half a year. Tsk... Xie Rongzhao smacked his lips, so he has to prepare for at least 400 taels!
Too scary.
This is too expensive to read.
Although Xie Rongzhao thought it was a bit expensive, he still felt that he should think of a solution.
In the past, the beautiful dad didn’t have the conditions to go on a study tour, but now they can make money themselves, so they can still think of ways.
Even if I can't go out for half a year, Is it a three-month headquarters?
Xie Rongzhao thought of Cheng's father. If he could get his recommendation, maybe the beautiful father could go to the yamen to do something for a few days.
And even though the braised restaurant has made money now, it cannot spend all the money, so some emergency use must be kept.
Xie Xiuwen, who was far away in Mingshan Academy, didn't know that his good baby was already frowning at this moment.
Xie Xiuwen has indeed been preparing for next year's study tour recently.
Xu Yuanqing meant that he arranged for them to take a walk together, so that they could experience the sufferings of people's livelihood with their own personal experience, and also let them truly feel some of the difficulties and temptations of officials in actual office.
The reason why Xu Yuanqing was able to become an imperial teacher is not just because of his good knowledge.
If you simply talk about knowledge, there are countless great scholars in the world who are better than him.
Only Xu Yuanqing can be valued by two generations of emperors, so he naturally has his special place.
The biggest difference between Xu Yuanqing and those famous scholars may be that he advocates the comprehensiveness of students' abilities and knowledge.
It’s not just that you can write a good article, you must be a good official.
Director Xu from the library brought the booklet and smelled the aroma of tea as soon as he entered the door.
"What good thing did cousin get?"
When Xu Yuanqing saw that he was coming, he smiled and waved to him to sit down, and then poured him a cup of tea.
"What did you take?"
Director Xu smiled: "I have been paying attention to several students recently. This is a list of books I have specially copied."
Xu Yuanqing opened the scene and found the clues.
This records which books several students have studied in the library in the past ten days, and whether they have specially made copying.
"Why do you pay attention to Wang Jin?"
Chief Xu said slowly: "Wang Jin is a man of average talent, and he seems not as good as Xie Xiuwen than diligence. However, I think this man has a good character and has a good relationship with Xie Xiuwen and others. By the way, this is his article these days."
Director Xu said while handing over a few pages of paper.
"Since you are selecting talents for the emperor, you must follow some rules in the court. Wang Jin is good. If you give me some advice, you can try the autumn exam next year."
