"Don't be too proud of your energy. Take the subjects and get them easily." Preface to Wu Jiucheng
Two days later, the new Imperial College, which was built on the site of Mingguang Palace, opened its central gate. A desk was set up between a pair of huge double palaces that originally existed in Mingguang Palace, and a number of officials with swords and pens were arranged to record the roster of students.
Since Taixue was in its initial stage, the emperor did not plan to recruit many students. The number of students in the first period was only based on the five major subjects of Ming Jing, Ming Dharma, Drama, Economics, and Business, and arranged a share of 1,000 students.
"I understand all the Ming Jing, Ming Dharma and Governance, but what about the Economics and Business Administration?" You Chu asked curiously looking around in the middle of the square between the two towers.
Jia Kui stood behind You Chu. His interactions in the past few days allowed him to understand You Chu's clever and active temperament. At this time, he explained like a mature brother: "I heard that your Majesty created a system based on the four subjects of inspection and examination."
There are five subjects in Taixue, the Ming Jing subject studies classics, the Ming Law subject teaches laws, the Drama subject teaches how to deal with government affairs, the Economics subject studies taxes, and the Management subject is said to be related to mulberry farming and water balance."
"Nongsang and Shuiheng" You Chu frowned as expected and said, "Isn't it the business of craftsmen and farmers to teach us how to pick mulberries, sow seeds and build ditches?"
"It should be to teach some monthly orders about farming seasons and how to choose land and build canals. You must know that being an official is more than just reading scriptures. If you don't know the farming seasons, how can you persuade the people to cultivate crops and how can you build canals and dams to make a place happy?" Zhang Ji
After learning about these five subjects, I felt novel in my heart.
"How do you choose which subject to study?" Jia Kui is good at communication and quickly learned a lot from others: "These five subjects are all the same, there is no distinction between high and low, and I will also take the annual exam in the future.
Then the officers will be admitted in stages based on their grades, but the content of the exams will be different."
"Doesn't that mean that everything I study will be the same?" You Chu was suddenly eager to try: "I might as well study business management."
Jia Kui smiled bitterly and said: "Zhong Yun, don't rush to a conclusion. Not only are the students of these five subjects different, but the officials they will become in the future will also be different. It's like the Mingfa subjects. In the future, you can only be a court captain, a visitor, or an official.
He is a county criminal law officer, and the same is true for the criminal and prison case management department. From now on, he can only serve in the Shaofu, Dasi Nong and Taipu Mansion, and county agricultural officers."
"Ah" You Chu looked surprised: "Can it still be like this?"
"Then you have to think about it carefully." After hearing this, Zhang nodded slightly and felt Jia Kui's inquiring eyes on him. He said, "Has Liang Dao thought about where to go?"
Jia Kui smiled calmly: "After much thought about managing dramas, this is the one that suits me best."
Zhang Ji glanced at him and agreed, "I agree with you."
Neither of them had read many scriptures, and talking about scriptures and Taoism was not their respective strengths at all. After picking and choosing, only the drama department was suitable. So the two of them laughed proudly, and You Chu stayed aside, holding back.
I don't know what I'm thinking about.
Suddenly, he seemed to have made an important decision: "I still study business management."
Zhang Ji and Jia Kui were stunned for a moment. Zhang Ji reacted and said: "Don't be joking. It's better to choose the drama department with us. The content of this department teaches the art of governing the people without losing the orthodoxy. It's better than
The business department should be better.”
"Yes." Jia Kui also advised: "And since we study the same subject, we can also take care of each other."
"A house of five acres can be planted with mulberry trees, and a man of fifty can clothe himself with a hundred acres of farmland. Don't take it away, and a family of several people can live without hunger." You Chu stretched out a finger and shook it, quoting
After reading a sentence of Mencius, he said: "You must not look down upon farming, mulberry trees and water balance. If you really want to govern the people and enrich them, you must do good farming."
Zhang Ji thought for a while, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense."
"How about it? Do you also want to study business management with me?" You Chu said with a smile.
"But I still choose to study drama." Zhang Ji said seriously.
""
You Chu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but turned around suddenly and walked straight to the registration area of the Business Department.
Jia Kui smiled from behind and said, "Zhong Yun has a true temperament."
"You Zhongyun is a generous man, good at music and games, and not scheming. I'm worried that he will get into trouble in the future." Zhang Ji stood with his hands behind his hands. He knew that the reason why You Chu's father entrusted You Chu to him was because You Chu was informal.
A small-minded, spontaneous personality can easily bring disaster to his career in the future.
So You Chu's father took a fancy to him and deliberately befriended Zhang Ji, who was still young but quite talented at the time, hoping that the calm and calculating Zhang Ji could help take care of You Chu in the future.
Jia Kui hesitated in his heart. After all, he was unwilling to be responsible for the troubles You Chu might cause in the future with Zhang Ji. After all, he and Zhang Ji had only known each other for a few days, and it was not worth it for him to do so. So Jia Kui gave him a perfunctory verbal answer.
Said: "You are a righteous man, I just worked hard for you."
Zhang Ji ignored it and looked at You Chu from afar.
He suddenly said: "When I was still young, Duke You, the commander-in-chief of the county, was also Zhongyun's respected king. He thought that I was very different from my peers, so he took me home and gave me a meal. After that, I talked with him for a few times.
As a result, Mr. You called Zhong Yun, who was one year younger than me, and wanted to entrust him to my care, but I refused at the time."
Jia Kui asked curiously: "Then how did you change your mind later?"
"You Gong has been insisting and won't allow me to refuse. Moreover, You Gong has a good reputation in Zuofeng Yi. I really can't go against the order, so I have to accept it."
This was actually a bit of a forced sale. Jia Kui looked at Zhang Ji in disbelief, believing that there must be something else hidden in it.
Zhang Ji's eyes flashed slightly, as if he wanted to confide in Jia Kui: "Zhong Yun said something to me at that time, which made me finally decide to agree."
"What did he say?" Jia Kui asked curiously.
"There is no way to repay the kindness of a meal. How can Piao Mu expect a gift of a thousand pieces of gold? It is a pity that the king and grandson do not feed themselves."
"Ah." Jia Kui understood: "It's an allusion to the story of the Marquis of Huaiyin who makes a living and a thousand gold coins."
Zhang Ji said calmly: "Zhong Yun is a smart man. He doesn't want me to reluctantly accept it just for the sake of a meal. This is just a meal. Of course, he still hopes to be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold in the end.
"
Jia Kui laughed a few times, but didn't say anything after all.
Since Zhang's eyes were as usual, he actually knew in his heart that in Jia Kui's eyes, he would probably be affected by You Chu's character, so it was reasonable to be unwilling to have a close relationship with You Chu or even himself.
"What happened to Zhong Yun?" Jia Kui's eyes were sharp and he saw a tall young man arguing next to You Chu with a red face.
Zhang lowered his face and immediately walked over with Jia Kui.
Only when I got there did I realize that the tall man was talking to the clerk in charge of recording, and You Chu was just standing next to him and watching the fun.
The tall man had an honest, round face, and was wearing a tassel-brown suit worn only by poor people. He had calluses on his hands, and it was obvious that he had been working hard for a long time. There was no sign of reading or reading in his body.
His temperament didn't look like that of a capable person, but rather that of a cattle herder. Zhang glanced at him casually and then stopped looking at him.
I just don’t know why this person got into an argument with the swordsman and penman
"Chao, Chao, the imperial court said, yes, anyone can come, Tai, Taixue." The tall man saw more and more people around him. He, who had never been the center of attention, suppressed his blush and looked even more
