Volume A Chapter 77 Optimistic, change

 After Feng Ziying left, Qiao Yingjia recruited his own staff to discuss it in detail.

"Dong Weng is very optimistic about this boy?" The old man stroked his goatee a little, and he was also observing his Dong Weng.

After all these years, he has rarely seen his boss recommend anyone.

He also knew a little about the situation of Qingtan Academy. Many people in various subjects of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came from Qingtan Academy.

Although Dong Weng did not come from Qingtan Academy, he has very close contacts with the current headmaster and headmaster of Qingtan College. The headmaster Qi Yongtai is a fellow student of Qiao Yingjia, and served as a doctor in the examination department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Zhen Ze was a Jinshi in one subject later than Qiao Yingjia. He also served as a shujishi and also served as a censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Logically speaking, it is absolutely not suitable for people like Feng Ziying to enter Qingtan Academy after their military service. The students there are generally selected from northern scholars who come from poor and innocent families.

After becoming the head of the academy, he began to allow southern scholars to enter.

"Sir, do you know that today I have an audience with the emperor. The emperor asked about the Linqing civil uprising. He is very pleased with the Caoyun Yamen's courage to take on the task this time. He also asked about many details in detail." Qiao Yingjia said thoughtfully: "Since the emperor's imperial edict, this time

This was the first special summons. Last year, I met with Li Sancai and others from the Ministry of Industry, but this time it was a separate interview. I have some feelings that the emperor and the supreme emperor may have different requirements for their ministers.

"

"Oh? Why did Dong Weng say this?" The old man also became cautious.

"Since the thirty-fifth year of Yuanxi, the Emperor has summoned ministers less and less, and all orders have been issued to the six ministries of the cabinet, and the six departments have rarely issued refutations. However, the six ministries and provinces have become more and more lazy, and the regulation and operation of the imperial court has become increasingly weak. Today

The Emperor then talked about how if the Cao troops did not send out troops decisively, and if they had to wait until the Third Division of Shandong reported to the Ministry of War to discuss the matter, banditry might become a climate and even Dongchang Prefecture and even Jinan Prefecture could be captured."

Qiao Yingjia's words shocked the old man, and he quickly said: "Could it be that the Emperor is dealing with this matter between you, Dong Weng, and Mr. Li Cao..."

"I'm afraid I've heard some, but as a patrol commissioner, I am making decisions in parallel with the governor. This is a custom. If I just let the governor act, wouldn't it be a violation of the custom? Once the governor acts alone, who can control it?" Qiao Yingjia

He said slowly: "I also told the emperor my worries, but the emperor was a little disapproving. He mentioned that water transportation matters are complex and important and must be handled carefully to avoid delays..."

The old man also nodded. How could the imperial regulations be easily changed? But if the emperor was dissatisfied with the situation, this would be another problem.

"Then Dong Weng thinks..."

"What the emperor said makes sense. At present, from the provinces to the state capitals, push-and-pull and delay are prevalent. The six ministries of the cabinet and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are talking and arguing. Even those who have just made progress are now also

I'm so angry, I'm afraid the emperor saw it in his eyes and had such a view..."

Qiao Yingjia felt both happy and worried.

Fortunately, this time the emperor gave an unusual reward. Li Sancai not only served as the governor of the river, but was also promoted from the censor of Youqiandu to the censor of Youzhu. This step is very important and also laid a solid foundation for Li Sancai's further promotion in the future.

Foundation.

Although he has not made any other changes this time, he has realized that he may not be a patrol censor for a long time. In March, which is the end of this year's water transport, he may have to move to the right. As for where he will go, he still has no idea.

Don't know.

But judging from the emperor's attitude towards this conversation, I am afraid that he will be treated differently.

As for Chen Jingxuan, the biggest beneficiary, he was even more overjoyed. It was reported that the Ministry of War intended to let him serve as the commander-in-chief of Zhenji Town.

Although the Chief Military Officer of Jizhen and the Chief Military Officer of Water Transport were both Chief Military Officers, and even had the same appearance, their actual power and status were completely different.

"What Dong Weng means is that the Emperor Yuji will probably change his old style of procrastination and laziness in the future. But Dong Weng has never thought about it. I am afraid that this kind of style did not form in a day or two, and the ministers in the court have already developed this habit."

How difficult is it to get them to change their habits?"

The old man was very aware of the ethos of the imperial court. Qiao Yingjia had not hidden anything from him over the years, so many things were done openly.

"Unless the emperor can take charge of the world and make major changes to the cabinet, the six ministries and even the positions of the officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it will not last long, and in turn it will damage the emperor's prestige, and it may even..."

The old man said no more.

Qiao Yingjia nodded, "I am worried about this situation, but I thought that given the emperor's character, he would not act hastily. He praised Li Sancai, me and Chen Jingxuan for their performance in the Linqing Civil War this time.

I'm afraid that I just want to express an attitude to the people in the court and wait and see how the people in the court will react."

"But what does Dong Weng think will happen if the emperor has such an attitude? What should Dong Weng do?" the old man asked after him.

Qiao Yingjia smiled and said, "Sir, haven't you seen it already? I have already recommended this boy to study at Qingtan Academy."

The old man also laughed. It seems that this Dong Weng has made up his mind. However, the journey may not be smooth and there may be many twists and turns. But he believes that this Dong Weng can also predict this.

**********

After getting Qiao Yingjia's recommendation letter, Feng Ziying felt much more at ease.

Among the four major academies of Shuntian Prefecture, the Fucui Academy in Daxing is a little further away, and they are mainly composed of military students from Wei Town. The three academies in Wanping are obviously more suitable for scholars from Northern Zhili and even the northern provinces.

.

If we look at the teaching quality and academic style of these academies, Qingtan Academy and Chongzheng Academy are undoubtedly better.

But Chongzheng Academy is already relatively difficult to enter, and Qingtan Academy is even more difficult.

To enter the academy, you need to take an exam first. After passing the exam, you can become a preparatory student. After one month of preparatory study, there will be a formal exam. Only after passing the exam can you become a formal student. Once you become an academy student, you must strictly abide by the rules and disciplines of the academy.

.

Compared with the superior educational conditions of Chongzheng Academy and Tonghui Academy, Qingtan Academy is more primitive. Not only do students not have much subsidies, but they also need to do some farm work themselves to help supplement the academy's expenses.

It is not that there are no donations from merchants or gentry, but Qingtan Academy has very strict requirements. Donations from non-Qingtan Academy students are not allowed, nor are donations from external merchants.

Because of this, Qingtan Academy is facing great financial difficulties in running schools, but the difficult conditions for running schools make it easier to gather students' enthusiasm and sharpen their aspirations.

Because of this, Feng Ziying’s first choice of college was Qingtan College, followed by Chongzheng College and Tonghui College.

But it is not easy to enter Qingtan Academy.

If you are a poor scholar, it is relatively easy to get a letter of recommendation from a famous scholar in your province, but if you are a son of an official or gentry, it will be much more difficult.

Those scholars also cherish feathers. If they were not really outstanding scholars, they would not write this letter of recommendation.

Qiao Yingjia actually took the initiative to write this letter of recommendation for herself this time. Even Feng Ziying did not expect it.

He realized that there must be something different here, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, but no matter what, it was a good thing and he would not give up.
