Chapter 460 Choose a son-in-law! Catch a son-in-law!
In Shuxian City, Zhuiyue Tower.
This is a brothel in Shu County. There are many scholars and dignitaries coming and going. Many powerful dignitaries, celebrities and scholars like to come to Zhuiyuelou to drink, listen to music and watch women. After all, the girls in Zhuiyuelou are beautiful, have many tricks, and have all kinds of skills.
have to.
Chaiyue Tower has always been Lu Xuan's intelligence point in the dark, and Gu Yong is responsible for controlling it.
In the lobby, many scholars listened to music, drank wine, and looked at the singers walking among the crowd. Some brave scholars even stretched out their hands to touch two songs from time to time, creating a lively scene of singing and dancing birds in the lobby.
Under such an awkward scene, outside the lobby, a middle-aged man with a bump on his head, a wound on his forehead, and slender hair walked in.
The person who came was surprisingly Zhou Xin.
He was beaten up by Zhang Zhao and was covered in blood. He returned home, washed himself, treated his injuries, and then came out enduring the physical pain.
He was ready to ruin Zhang Zhao's reputation.
Zhou Xin was a frequent visitor to Zhuiyue Tower. He glanced around and saw someone he knew. He walked over and sat down among the scholars he knew.
He was older, had status, and had some scholars gathered around Zhou Xin.
After Zhou Xin sat down, a scholar immediately looked over and said in surprise: "Master Zhou, what's wrong with you? There's a big bump on your head and a wound on your forehead. I noticed that you were limping when you walked just now.
,Did someone hit you?"
week
He was seriously injured. In addition, he punched and kicked me, making it difficult for me to walk."
As soon as these words came out, everyone around looked at each other, a little surprised.
It's hard to talk about this matter when it comes to Zhang Zhao.
Zhou Xin was furious and continued: "For the selection of scholars in the Five Classics Hall, it is enough for these mud-legged people from poor families to graduate. However, the King of Wu actually held a banquet to receive the poor family scholars in Qionglin Garden. What kind of scholars are they? A bunch of mud-legged people,
With no knowledge and background, why was he assigned to serve in Wu State? It is simply ridiculous."
As soon as these words came out, the people around him stopped paying attention to Zhang Zhao and started to echo him one after another.
"Master Zhou is right. A group of poor people from a humble family ascended to the elegant hall. I don't know what King Wu thought about it?"
"This is very inappropriate."
"It's a pity that there are no wise people around the King of Wu. If there are people like the head of the Zhou family who dare to speak out and give advice to the King of Wu, it will be able to bring order to the chaos and prevent the King of Wu from believing in the lowly family."
"Speaking of which, how did Zhang Zhao beat the head of the Zhou family?"
Everyone looked over again.
Everyone looked expectant.
For the benefit of the big family and their own interests, one after another supported Zhou Xin and stood up for Zhou Xin.
Zhou Xin was indignant and said: "I asked Zhang Zhao to come forward just for the sake of the children of the poor family. As the head of the civil servants of Wu State, he is from a rich family. He should stick to his identity and have his own governing philosophy.
Make sure that the state of Wu first uses the sons of the rich families."
"Because the King of Wu is arbitrary, it is definitely impossible to prevent him from recruiting scholars from the Five Classics Institute."
"Then, let's change our thinking and ask the King of Wu to establish a school similar to the Taixue School and the Five Classics School, specifically to recruit children from wealthy families. This will also benefit us and the King of Wu in selecting talents."
"Throw the mud-legged people from the poor family to the ground and let them fend for themselves. We, the children of the rich family, can arrange for a higher starting point."
"One place, one court center, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
"But Zhang Zhao was obedient to the King of Wu, but he was tough on me and hit me with a chessboard. Zhang Zhao's move was just to be a lucky minister with no independent opinion. Such a person is not worthy to be the Minister of Rites of the State of Wu."
What he said was angry and full of emotion.
Zhou Xin felt that she was right.
Big families should stand at a higher starting point, have different schools for selection, or directly select disciples from big families.
"The Zhou family leader's words are eloquent and can be called a magnificent article. I support it very much. We, the descendants of Yangzhou's wealthy families, have different identities, so we should have different choices and starting points."
"I also think that the Zhou family leader said it very well."
"The words of the Zhou family leader are very insightful and should be widely disseminated."
The surrounding scholars all came from big families, and they all agreed. Some scholars who were listening to the play in the distance came over to express their opinions, as if they approved of Zhou Xin.
The wealthy people in Yangzhou hope they have a chance.
However, Lu Xuan had high prestige and Qian Gang was arbitrary, and Lu Xuan also hired scholars from the big families in Yangzhou without saying no, and Lu Xuan did not prohibit the children of the big families from going to the Five Classics Museum to study. Many big families in Yangzhou had no choice but to pinch their noses. admit.
A proud look appeared on Zhou Xin's face.
There was a look of hatred in his eyes.
Zhang Zhao will definitely lose face. Without the support and cooperation of the big family, Zhang Zhao will be constrained at every turn when he governs. How will Zhang Zhao do it?
If Zhang Zhao cannot do anything, he will eventually be deposed by Lu Xuan.
The corners of Zhou Xin's mouth turned up slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Zhang Zhao looks upright, but in fact..."
Just as he said this, a scholar not far away suddenly said loudly: "The King of Wu said that all the scholars in the Five Classics Hall should be reused. The ten people who will attend the Qionglin Banquet tomorrow, the King of Wu said that they will definitely enter the center in the future. "
"Nowadays, many people are preparing to choose sons-in-law and win over these people in advance. Think about it, directly selecting these people as husband-in-law and bringing them into their own homes is equivalent to cultivating family strength."
boom!!
In the lobby, many people started talking after hearing it.
"These people from poor backgrounds have no knowledge or foresight. If we give them a little benefit, won't they all take the bait?"
"This is our chance."
People from the big family spoke one after another.
When Zhou Xin heard such words, his cheeks twitched and he looked a little unhappy. He was originally going to say something about Zhang Zhao, but listening to the comments around him, he couldn't say anything anymore. He changed the subject and said: "These poor scholars, there is no need To win over, what we have to do..."
"Master Zhou, I'm not feeling well, so go ahead."
A scholar stood up and left.
"Oh, my old mother is sick at home, but I am in Zhuiyue Tower. It really shouldn't be the case. I have to go back to take care of her. Otherwise, if something happens to my old mother, it would be a great unfilial piety."
"Master Zhou, I have something urgent at home. I heard that my family has bought dozens of pregnant cows. I have to keep an eye on them and provide them with postpartum care. Otherwise, if the cows don't give birth, we will lose money."
"Master Zhou, my concubine needs to be taken care of recently. If she is not taken care of, she will be tired and it will be easy for problems to occur. I will take the first step."
Everyone around Zhou Xin left.
No one was left.
Zhou Xin looked around and saw that the surrounding area was also empty. Looking towards the gate, he saw elegantly dressed scholars running out one after another. The hall suddenly became quiet and empty.
Zhou Xin's cheek twitched, and his face completely collapsed.
He was a little panicked.
Do you want to participate yourself?
When the big families in Shu County took action one after another to choose their son-in-law, the Five Classics Museum was also bustling with excitement. Originally, many people resisted the poor children, and many looked down on them, but now they are showing their talents and starting to establish relationships with each other.
The news also reached the palace.
After Lu Xuan heard the news, he smiled in his heart.
Big families want to boycott the children of poor families, but there are many big families trying to win over them and choose a son-in-law. Can they still boycott on a large scale?
impossible!
Once you are with me, and I am with you, the boundary between the big family and the children from poor families will disappear. When batches of children from poor families emerge, the pattern of the Wu Kingdom will slowly change, and a healthy operation will be formed.
Make sure the hierarchy doesn't solidify.
In fact, this is just a preliminary arrangement.
In the future, when more scholars from poor families are cultivated and the conditions for large-scale imperial examinations are established, so that people all over the world can study and take the imperial examinations to serve as officials, the monopoly of powerful families will be truly broken.
When Lu Xuan was thinking about it, he suddenly thought of Zhuge Liang, who was the first number one in the Five Classics Hall.
Such a person is destined to be noticed and won over by countless people. If groups of people contact him, Zhuge Liang will probably have a headache, because countless people want Zhuge Liang to become his son-in-law.
