Chapter 2 Jinshen Records (Thanks to the support of Gao Yangzi Alliance Leader)
Not only that, Dongyang's most famous work is that he presided over the construction of the Zhaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Taizong of the Middle Tang Dynasty. He gathered seven dragons in front of the mausoleum, raised three lins in the ground, and collected nine clouds on the peak, forming an astonishing Feng Shui overall situation.
Therefore, although the Mid-Tang Dynasty was in a place of four wars, it had good weather and prosperous national power for ten years!
Of course, Dongyang also became famous all over the world!
Now at the age of thirty-nine, Dong Yangyang has suddenly become one of the Nine Qings of the Mid-Tang Dynasty, and his mind is not that broad. Of course, it is not difficult to imagine that Confucianism wanted to promote its own doctrines in the Mid-Tang Dynasty.
, they must have been severely suppressed, extremely difficult, and struggling to move forward.
Therefore, when Dongyang's example shocked the world, all the heads of academies realized a very important thing from the negative examples of Confucianism: even if you raise a mediocre person who may be useless to your side, he may still be a good person.
Killed a talented person from hundreds of other schools!
Therefore, these six words, "I would rather make a mistake than let something go", have become the primary criteria for selecting candidates for the academy.
Therefore, as long as the general environment of low literacy rate remains unchanged, the probability of children going to academies to study and be admitted can be said to be very high.

Seeing the fourth boy running out of breath, and the envious looks from the people around him, Lin Fengjin already knew what he was thinking - Are you kidding me? I was a double PhD student at MIT back then.
Aren’t you ready to take the primary school entrance exam?
When I was taking the exam that day, I deliberately did several wrong questions in order to keep a low profile. I just didn’t want to get the first place and attract attention. But looking at the envious eyes of the people around me, Lin couldn’t help but also
I felt a slight sense of elation.
He looked at the good news in Lao Si's hand and took it over to look at it casually. He found that it was a very beautiful post with a bright red background. There were patterns of carps and unicorns on the side, and patterns of water plants on the side.
, there is a line written in the middle:
Good news: Mr. Lin Taojin, a high school student in your family, ranked 20th in the Asian Championships in the Hecang Boy Examination. The Beijing News has been ranked in the top 100.
Yayuan was originally the title given to the second place, but it was also a flattering word in the post, just like the deputy director and deputy mayor who likes to be called director or mayor. Later, the Beijing News even published Huang Jia as a congratulation.
It means that he will continue to score consecutively in the next exams.
Looking at the wedding invitation, Lin Fengjin was shocked. After a long time, he grabbed the fourth child, looked around, and whispered like a thief:
"It seems that our Hecang County only accepts twenty child birth quotas every year, right?"
The fourth child nodded and said with a smile on his face:
"Yes! Master, let's go back soon."
Lin Fengjin rolled his eyes, sighed deeply, and followed him back listlessly. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Take 20 people and get the 20th place by yourself? Obviously, you can take the exam this time
His success has nothing to do with his own talent. It's mostly the result of the money he spent on me secretly.
But to make a digression, under the current general background, cheating probably only ends at the Tongsheng Examination. From then on, no one would dare to take the risk unless they are close relatives.
After returning home, Butcher Zhao had been invited to kill the three-cavity fat pig with a sharp knife. Sai Fengxian, a famous opera troupe in Hecang, had already started to set up a stage, and crowds of people gathered in the front yard.
Inside, smoke was smoked, and plates of fried peanuts and sun-dried melon seeds were served, which were smashed all over the floor. The faces of the servants of the Lin family were beaming with joy, and there was a lot of noise and noise everywhere. It looked like it must have been three days of running water.
Can't run away.
A middle-aged man with a round face was surrounded by everyone. He was wearing a maroon red five-bat satin robe. Not to mention the tailor's skills, it looked a bit unfit on his too rich body, but he smiled so hard that his eyes almost squinted.
Missing is none other than Lin Fengjin’s cheap friend, Lin Yuanwai.
Lin Fengjin was an orphan in his previous life, and he longed for family affection. He also inherited the memory of the original owner when he traveled through time. Therefore, Lin Yuanwai has always been fond of and cared for since he was a child, and there is no psychological barrier to calling him daddy.
.
When Lin Fengjin saw the old man, he sighed, separated from everyone and pulled his father to a quiet place, and said simply:
"Dad, how much did it cost you to win this boy's child?"
"No... no way!" Lin Yuanwai said although his tone was starting to leak out of weakness, he was still very stubborn.
Lin Fengjin shrugged and said:
"I'll know everything when I go down to the counter and look through the ledger. Dad, what's the use of hiding it from me?"
It had been nearly a year since time travel. Lin Fengjin tried his best and kept the account books at home in order. He also used some small promotion methods. The business at home was also booming. At this time, Lin Fengjin knew that he could not hide it.
He gestured with two fingers and came out.
"Two hundred taels?!"
"A little more..."
"Is it two thousand taels?"
"I also reported this number at first, but Xue Zheng spit on me and slapped me in the face..."
"Crazy! A child costs 20,000 taels! Our shop in Yicheng has also been sold, right?"
Lin Fengjin was really shocked and angry when he heard the news.
"My son, you don't know how much grievance our family has to suffer when we have no scholar at all, even though our family is beautiful on the outside..." Lin immediately started to complain, but the small eyes on his fat face still didn't matter.
He stopped and quietly looked at Lin Fengjin's face.
He has doted on this son since he was a child, but he is still a single son of the third generation. In the past, when Lin Fengjin liked to wander around, he could show off his father's majesty and say a few words. Of course, he would be reluctant to beat him. And after Lin Fengjin traveled through time, it was even more so.
If a prodigal son comes back with a new look, and with a few tweaks, things at home will be prosperous, and now Mr. Lin will no longer be able to display the majesty of being a father.
Faced with this situation, what else could Lin Fengjin say besides smiling bitterly and sighing? At this time, the housekeeper came over to ask for instructions. Lin immediately felt like he was being amnesty. He coughed with a straight face and walked outside.
, when he came to the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and said:
"Oh, by the way, Uncle Wang came back just now and said that he bought all the things on the list you made last month and put them all in your study."
"Did you buy those things back?" Lin Fengjin was immediately overjoyed. Ever since he took part in the boy examination, as a doctor in his previous life, he was confident that he would definitely win. Of course, the next step was to choose an academy.
After all, it was ancient times, and there was no lack of equal information, and there were no overwhelming recruitment advertisements. Therefore, many young scholars chose academies based on one principle: it is close to home and can save some travel expenses.
a little.
Of course Lin Fengjin does not agree with this blind marriage method of schooling. For him who has been through the terrifying past life of "unemployment after graduation, and employment that preys on the elderly", choosing a school is really important.
of a link.
So what he asked people from all over the country to collect were some miscellaneous notes, poems, autobiographies and other things written by many literati of this era. From the scraps of records in these things, we can estimate some of the characteristics of the major academies.
.
"Well, the poem written by this person named Guo Da said that when he was studying in Wude College, his thoughts were like a flowing spring, but when he became an official, it dried up. A person may describe it as elegance, but combined with the previous miscellaneous notes
Look, many people say this, Wude Academy should indeed be unique in Feng Shui."
After making this conclusion, Lin Fengjin picked up a brush and sketched it on the rice paper next to him for a few times, and actually made an EXcEL form! This was also caused by his habits in his previous life.
At that time, Lin Fengjin was obsessed with data analysis, and even received a double doctorate in data science and analytics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
What Lin Fengjin believes the most is that data does not lie, and what is reflected behind the data is the most profound! So he is trying now to cover these famous things with a veil of mystery.
College to carry out data quantification.
After making a few hasty strokes, Lin Fengjin, who was flipping through the pile of books with a brush in his mouth, marveled again:
"Well, the magic of money is indeed everywhere, and you can also buy things like Jin Shen Lu."
To put it more bluntly, Jin Shen Lu is the list and resume of officials from all over the country.
This thing is a must-have no matter which dynasty it is in. Successful officials will search for fellow villagers in this book to establish their own "township party." Unsuccessful officials will search for partners in this book, and proud literati will
On the list, you can look for officials who might appreciate you if you submit poems and essays. Unsatisfied literati will look for those officials on the list who have resigned but have the possibility of reinstatement.
"The list of gentry records has been calculated. Among the five countries, there are currently about 5,700 civil servants above the county magistrate (excluding officials), and more than 2,500 people have received academies education. Among them, Dong
Lin Academy’s occupancy is 7%, Wude Academy’s occupancy is 5%..."
As Lin Fengjin gradually improved and entered the data, the form on the rice paper was gradually completed. A series of information was intuitively fed back...
