"I wonder what the outcome of this poetry meeting will be?" a man in rather gorgeous clothes said.
Many Confucian scholars who were originally talking about other things became interested after hearing this sentence.
"Our three great talents at Gaolu Academy feel that they can stand out in this poetry meeting. They have a good relationship with the Zhang family. I wonder if the chief assistant can be given an official position."
"I feel that our Baiyun Academy has the most talented people, and every one of them has an official background."
"The most disadvantaged among the four major academies now is probably Mingde Academy. It only accepts students who are ordinary civilians. Although they have some talents, they have no background."
"It's okay to pay attention to talent, but before you pay attention to talent, you must see if there is anyone behind you."
"They only recommended one talented person in the entire academy, so what's the use?"
Everyone around him also spoke one after another.
But after hearing these words, Zhu Youde also frowned slightly.
In fact, the students of these academies are not considered the next generation for the entire dynasty.
But I never thought that they could actually say these words.
But if you think about it carefully, most of the people admitted in these four major academies are the children of officials.
As the entire country progresses, the positions occupied by these officials' children will definitely become more and more important.
And this kind of group is slowly expanding.
The expansion of this group of officials who stand to gain benefits will obviously crowd out the educational resources of ordinary civilians.
And many of them are actually playboys.
I just want to study in an academy and later rely on the help of my family to get an ordinary official position.
There are very few people who want to contribute to the entire Liang Dynasty.
If all the officials above the court are just insects, then these officials’ children and scholars in front of us are just insects.
Nowadays, the three major academies among the four major academies, which can be said to be three-quarters of their resources, are all devoted to these little insects.
However, ordinary civilians, who account for more than 90% of the total population, only have a quarter of the resources.
After thinking of this, Zhu Youde suddenly felt sick in his heart.
In fact, not only the internal officials need to be changed, but these academies also need to be changed.
These four major academies were also established by Daliang, and they actually became the personal belongings of these officials' children?
While they were talking, several plainly dressed Confucian scholars also entered the teahouse.
You can tell the difference between these two groups just by looking at their clothes.
"Hey, aren't these some people from Mingde Academy? How come you have money?"
A sound of ridicule came from the wealthy Confucian scholars in the distance.
The few Confucian scholars here in simple clothes all looked a little embarrassed.
However, after hearing this sentence, the leading Confucian scholar still looked as usual.
After seeing this situation, Zhu Youde, who was originally prepared to take action, did not take action. Instead, he watched their development with interest.
"His Majesty……"
When Luo Xian on the side saw this situation, her face was naturally angry.
"Let's take a look first, we don't have to worry." Zhu Youde waved his hand.
When those rich kids saw that the poor Confucian scholars ignored them, they felt a little embarrassed on their faces.
"What do you guys mean? Why are you ignoring us?" One of them came up and asked.
"Don't bully others too much. We have no grievances against you. Why are we doing this?" One of the Confucian scholars finally couldn't help it anymore and immediately stood up and shouted loudly.
But after hearing these words, those rich kids burst out laughing.
"I'm just worried that you don't have any money now. If you can kowtow to me, you can eat whatever you want here today." The rich kid laughed loudly.
When the rich kids next to him heard this, they also laughed.
After seeing this scene, some people around him also wanted to take action, but they felt that they could not afford to offend them.
After several struggles, no one came forward in the end.
Hearing this familiar voice, Zhu Youde took a closer look at the appearance of this rich boy, and his face became a little tense.
In fact, he also knew the rich kid in front of him. He was Zhang Yuanhai's son, Zhang Taijian.
Zhu Youde felt that this was really a narrow road for enemies, but he didn't expect to bump into him.
The last time Zhang Taijian caused such a big trouble, Zhang Yuanhai also put him in solitary confinement for a month.
Later, he was worried that he would continue to cause trouble, so he was transferred to the academy.
Of course, he was not so honest in the academy because of his status.
Within just two or three days, he had established a foothold in the academy.
Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he naturally despised Mingde Academy, which was full of civilians.
"Don't think that because of your high status, you can bully us at will." The staunch scholar just now also did not give in.
The two gangs faced each other directly, and it looked like the battle was about to break out.
The scholar who had been sitting there calmly before suddenly stood up.
Facing Zhang Taijian: "Young Master Zhang, right? I have admired you for a long time. I am Feng Yuyue from this Liliang Poetry Society."
Seeing that the scholar in front of him was so respectful to him, the rich boy became even more arrogant.
"Generally, if you want to go out, you must kneel before me. This is the restaurant my father runs." Zhang Taijian said with his head held high.
But before he could finish his words, Feng Yuyue slapped him on the face.
"Snapped."
After a crisp sound, Zhang Taijian's body rolled back, not understanding what was going on.
Looking at a weak scholar, how dare he hit himself? He still has such great strength?
"You are so brave, you dare to hit me." After Zhang Taijian stood up, he was ready to call on the henchmen behind him to come forward.
But Feng Yuyue was neither humble nor arrogant, and walked up to several people: "Think carefully before taking action. I will participate in the poetry meeting in two days. If there are any scars on my face by then, and His Majesty asks, I won't be able to tell you."
.”
Zhang Taijian, who was originally ready to take action, actually became a little scared after hearing these words.
He also heard at home that His Majesty has been targeting his father recently.
Zhang Yuanhai also asked Zhang Taijian to avoid causing trouble, and the last person he should not cause trouble is His Majesty.
If this matter really gets serious, His Majesty might actually be able to use excuses to punish his father.
After thinking of this, Zhang Taijian retracted his palm.
But after something like this happened here, he didn't want to stay any longer.
He raised his finger and pointed at Feng Yuyue: "Just wait for me. After the poetry meeting, there will be something good for you..."
