Hanzhu Academy is the cornerstone of Feishan's cultural heritage in Qianshan.
After starting business, Fei built the "Hanzhu Private School" and continued to purchase books from Fujian and Zhejiang through caravans. A hundred years ago, the "Hanzhu Private School" was expanded into the "Hanzhu Academy" and has been in existence for more than 40 years. An official walked out of here.
The academy is owned by the Fei family of Henglin, and each clan raises funds for its operation every year, while allowing children with foreign surnames to study.
If he finds a good seedling, no matter what his surname is, Fei will invest in cultivating it.
Even though the Fei family has not produced a Jinshi for two generations, in recent years, the students with foreign surnames they have supported have produced one Jinshi and four candidates!
on board.
Qin Xin, Jian Dan, Jiu Po, and Hu Mengtai's family boy Lerong were playing mahjong.
Wei Jianxiong hugged the wrought iron rod, sat in the cabin and fell asleep.
Zhao Han is studying seriously. The "Spring and Autumn" brought by Hu Mengtai is a bit difficult to read.
At least Zhao Han couldn't read it as a storybook. Even if there were annotations in the book, the names of people and places would still give him a headache.
Inner cabin.
Hu Mengtai sighed: "My father is very moved. He really wants to donate five thousand taels of silver to find a magistrate for a large county for me!"
"Wei Zhaocheng, a mere governor, has the ability to sell off his official position wantonly?" Fei Yinghuan shook his head and sneered, "I don't believe it anyway."
Hu Mengtai said: "My father guessed that the Lin Party in the East had resurrected in the DPRK and they were in urgent need of a lot of money. This Wei Zhaocheng is just a tough soldier. I am afraid that most of the income from selling his official position must be paid as tribute."
Fei Yinghuan asked: "Do they really have so many official vacancies in big counties?"
Hu Mengtai said: "The Donglin Party now controls the police in Nanjing and Beijing, and there must be a lot of official vacancies. Brother Dazhao's family is also in business, and many times there is no need to clear money and property. Wei Zhaocheng sold twenty magistrates in Jiangxi If the shortage is calculated as five thousand taels each, he can receive one hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver. He can only cash in two or three, and wait for the remaining excuses to be substituted, and it will not be considered a renegade. In this way, after opening up the market, he can still sit on the ground. Starting the price, whoever gives more money will be given first to the one who has the most money."
Fei Yinghuan suddenly realized it and said in surprise: "Can it still work like this? Then he can earn thirty or fifty scholars' official silver with only three or five real shortages! This kind of thing can't be seen in the light, and you can pay for it. Those who want to buy an official position also want to save face, so even if they find out that they have been cheated, they will not dare to tell anyone."
Hu Mengtai said with a smile: "Whoever pays the money first to buy an official position will be more likely to get the real job. It is regarded as the 'horse bone' given to him by Wei Zhaocheng."
Fei Yinghuan couldn't laugh or cry: "What kind of official position can such a business prodigy do? Entering an official position and doing business early will be a good thing for the country and yourself!"
Hu Mengtai added: "If Brother Dazhao wants to donate his official position, he must do it quickly. The current Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is Wang Yongguang."
"Wang Yongguang still dares to move around?" Fei Yinghuan shook his head repeatedly.
Hu Mengtai said: "If His Majesty shows even the slightest hint of dissatisfaction with the Donglin Party, Wang Yongguang's character will definitely turn him back."
Fei Yinghuan thought carefully and had to admit: "That's true."
The two candidates, who had not yet entered the officialdom, were able to see Wang Yongguang so clearly, firstly because they had the source of intelligence, and secondly because Wang Yongguang was so famous.
In the first year of Taichang, this man spoke uprightly and offended many powerful people, and his stance was biased towards the Donglin Party.
In the third year of Tianqi's reign, this man was involved in the Guihai Jingchao, fell out with the Donglin Party, and was forced to resign and return home.
In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, this person was appointed by Wei Zhongxian and worked hard to cling to the eunuch party.
In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, this person took advantage of the Wanggong factory explosion to suddenly attack Wei Zhongxian. Shangshu requested the return of voting rights, and helped several Donglin Party bosses to put in good words. He was dismissed from office.
In the first year of Chongzhen, this year, this person was appointed by the Donglin Party and became Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Jumping sideways repeatedly and moving left and right are so dazzling that no one knows where this thing is coming from.
You could say that he follows the trend, but he is not afraid of the powerful.
When the Donglin Party was in decline, he helped the Donglin Party speak up. When the Donglin Party was at its strongest, he fell out with the Donglin Party. When Wei Zhongxian had just risen, he shamelessly clung to the eunuch Party. When Wei Zhongxian was powerful, he stood up
He came out to support the Donglin Party and clamored for Wei Zhongxian to hand over the power of the cabinet.
According to this rule, now that the Donglin Party is in the limelight, it is time for Wang Yongguang to rebel again.
Historically, the Donglin Party cabinet in the Chongzhen Dynasty was brought down by Wang Yongguang, together with Zhou and Wen... This was a stick that perpetuated the party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty. As long as you are not disgusted, others will be disgusted!
Although Fei Yinghuan and Hu Mengtai lived in Jiangxi, they read Tongbao every month to understand the situation between North Korea and China.
Every time they read big news about Wang Yongguang, they are completely confused and cannot understand what Wang Yongguang wants to do.
Hu Mengtai said: "The reason why I went to Hanzhu Mountain to study in seclusion this time is to prevent my father from buying an official position. I have sworn at the Hu family's ancestral hall that if I fail to become a Jinshi in three years, I will go back to Hanzhu Mountain to continue my retreat!"
"You Li is so ambitious, Brother Yu will study hard with you...for two months!" Fei Yinghuan made up his mind.
Hu Mengtai said with a smile: "For Brother Dazhao, two months are already not easy."
The ship docks.
Zhao Han put down the "Spring and Autumn" and handed it back to Hu Mengtai's family boy. Without a teacher to explain this thing, there was no way for him to become self-taught.
No wonder Guan Erye has been reading "Spring and Autumn" all his life. This book can be read for several lifetimes.
Carrying the book box in his hand, Zhao Han followed the crowd and took a leisurely walk to Hanzhu Mountain.
The private school is just down the mountain, and none of its students have been admitted as scholars.
The academy is halfway up the mountain, and only those with meritorious status can go up the mountain to study.
Hanzhu Private School is small in scale, with only a few classrooms, each of which can accommodate twenty or thirty students. There is also a library and student dormitories, and students who live far away from home can choose to board.
Zhao Han came to the courtyard of the private school and saw that a few of the students in the classroom were extremely shabby and even went barefoot in late autumn. He couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Wei, can poor children study for free?"
Wei Jianxiong nodded and said: "As long as you are determined to study, you can come to Hanzhu Mountain to study. There is no tuition fee, but you need to bring your own books and pens. If there is a child prodigy who has a photographic memory, Fei will definitely sponsor him to obtain fame."
In the land south of the Yangtze River, the literary style was extremely prosperous and the literacy rate was very high.
Even the servants of the Fei family, if you pick out a few at random, half of them can read popular novels.
According to the diaries of Korean literati, as early as the mid-Ming Dynasty, it was possible to communicate in the south of the Yangtze River by writing. But this was not possible in the north. The Korean literati said that if you look for a few more passers-by in the south of the Yangtze River, you can always find someone who is literate, while in the north it may be possible to
Can't even see the sky.
The same is true here in Qianshan. Since Hanzhu Academy is free of tuition, they are happy to send their children to study. Even if they fail to pass the examination as a scholar, they can still work as a domestic slave for Fei. Man, if you can read, you will often get preferential treatment.
Fei Yinghuan rested in the pavilion for a while, and then his silly son was brought.
Fei Ruhe was a little fat boy, not puffy, but fat. This guy ran over, kowtowed and shouted: "I've met my father, I've met my cousin (Hu Mengtai)!"
In front of his son, Fei Yinghuan was very serious and said with a serious expression: "Where did you read your homework?"
Fei Ruhe replied: "I have learned "Ji Shi Pian"."
Fei Yinghuan was immediately furious: "After several years of enlightenment, you are still studying The Analects of Confucius?"
The four books have a study order, which is: "Great Learning", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", and "The Doctrine of the Mean".
I have been studying "The Analects of Confucius" for several years, and my IQ is really impressive...
Fei Ruhe knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak. He glanced at Hu Mengtai with furtive eyes, hoping that his cousin could help with a few words of kindness.
Hu Mengtai smiled without saying a word, and even tried not to laugh out loud.
Fei Yinghuan had a splitting headache and didn't want to waste any more words. He just said: "I found a book boy for you to study with you. He hasn't even finished reading the fourth grade of junior high school. If he overtakes you one day, I will beat you with my own hands."
Break your legs!"
Fei Ruhe muttered: "I already have a book boy."
Fei Yinghuan scolded: "Your academic progress is slow, and the book boy is also to blame. I will change you to a better one!"
Fei Ruhe begged: "Father, Fei Chun is very good. There is no need to change him. If he changes to another scholar, the child will inevitably not adapt to it, and I am afraid it will be more difficult to study in the future."
It really makes some sense.
Fei Yinghuan thought for a while and said: "Then there will be no change, there will only be one more book boy. Zhao Han, come over and get to know the young master!"
Zhao Han stepped forward and cupped his hands: "I have met the young master."
Fei Ruhe looked up at Zhao Han and was immediately unhappy: "You are my book boy, why should I kneel down and you are still standing there? Kneel down with me quickly!"
Zhao Han replied: "I was sent by the young master to urge the young master to study, not to kneel with the young master."
Fei Ruhe immediately complained: "Father, this book boy is disobedient, drive him away quickly!"
Fei Yinghuan was very satisfied and said with a smile: "That's how it should be. Zhao Han, from now on, if the young master is playful, you can teach him a lesson for me. As long as he doesn't kill, maim or disfigure him, you can beat him however you want!"
"Yes!" Zhao Han bowed his hands.
Fei Ruhe was stunned and felt that his life would be difficult in the future.
