The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1602 Rumors in the Imperial College
"Of course I remember this." The person next to him said: "Jinyang County Duke set off to Taizhou with [-] sailors, took this Taizhou, and incorporated Taizhou into our Datang territory. Moreover, in Jinyang County Before I went to Taizhou, Taizhou was still a barren land. I heard that the people on the island were all naked. Now, since the Duke of Jinyang brought back Taizhou's valuable specialties from Taizhou, many businessmen have been going to Taizhou. Let’s run, now Taizhou is very lively.”

"Taizhou not only has valuable specialties, but I heard that the imperial court is still mining on Taizhou Island. The gold and silver mined are transported to Chang'an continuously through the navy, and all of them are used up in the treasury."

The supervising students of Guozijian know a lot of things. After all, they come from extraordinary backgrounds. Their families are either rich or noble. They are all children of noble families. I can also hear a thing or two, so I know all these things well.

This is not a secret anymore. Since Xuan Shijing came back from Taizhou last year and opened the hundred and ten boxes in public in the square in front of the Hanyuan Hall in the Danfeng Gate, this matter is no longer a secret. No need to hide it.

Now that the imperial court is eager to develop Taizhou, it is natural to spread the news so that Taizhou can attract more people.

"Taizhou is where it is today, thanks to the navy. No wonder the court started to pay more attention to the navy." said the student surnamed Zhao.

"That's why, in addition to the existing subjects, the Military Academy in Zhuangzi, Dongshan County, will specially add naval subjects this year. I heard that it will train specialized talents for the navy. Two months ago, Duke Jinyang ordered Mr. Wang was worried, so he went to the palace to find His Majesty, and His Majesty let King Jiang go back to Chang'an to teach students in Zhuangzi. As for the reputation of His Highness King Jiang, everyone who knows knows it anyway, but they don't know how the Jinyang County Guild is. Take care of His Royal Highness Jiang Wang."

"Sure? Brother Li's words are a bit too much, right? King Jiang is the younger brother of today's son. How can he be controlled by a county prince, and his seniority is also a generation behind. According to seniority, this Jiang His Royal Highness is the uncle of Duke Jinyang."

Everyone knows that His Majesty's daughter, Princess Jinyang, married into the Xuan family, is Xuan Shijing's wife, and King Jiang is Princess Jinyang's uncle.

"Since His Majesty has issued an order, King Jiang should be a little bit scrupulous, right?" The person next to him said, "This is Chang'an, and Dongshan County is not too far away from Chang'an. If King Jiang dares to make a mistake, maybe His Majesty can"

While talking, the man made a movement, which startled the people next to him, and hurriedly stopped him.

"You don't want to die!"

"I didn't say anything, and there are no outsiders here." The man smiled and said, "You are too nervous."

Even these young supervisors knew about His Majesty Li Er's ascension to the throne.

After all, it has only been more than [-] years. The elders of the family have experienced that time, and they talked about it in private. No one spread it outside, so they just listened to it. But in the Imperial College, talking about it in full view Such a thing is impossible.

Today's son is broad-minded, but it doesn't mean that you can poke people's weaknesses and speak casually.

"By the way, let's not talk about this matter, I have another news here." One person said.

"Oh? What news, let's hear it." The supervisor surnamed Li said.

"It's still about the academy that Zhuangzi attended in Dongshan County, this time it's the Academy of Literature."

"It's the college that Zhuangzi attended in Dongshan County. How come there are so many news and so much fuss these days?" one person said.

"It's not that you can make trouble. You all know what the Academy of Arts does, right? It is to cultivate talents for the court, to cultivate talents for officials. It can be said that those students in the Academy of Arts will be our opponents in the future. Two years later , They graduated from the Faculty of Arts, and they also have to take the Chunwei exam."

"I know this, so I will participate."

"Brother Zhao is really confident. If the matter is so simple, it will not be spread in Chang'an City. I heard rumors in Chang'an City that the Chunwei exam two years later will be held by our Guozijian and Dongshan County's Liberal Arts Academy. A contest."

"Competition?"

"Exactly, I haven't seen these days. Has the atmosphere in our Imperial College become tense? Although there are still two years, but two years, it's just a flick of a finger. Soon, the Chunwei exam two years later, the relationship The status of our Guozijian will either be maintained, or it will be replaced by the Literary Academy in Zhuangzi, Dongshan County. Your Majesty has a lot of heart for the academy in Zhuangzi, Dongshan County. I won’t be afraid of your jokes if you say it. Two months ago , my father accidentally said something bad about the Faculty of Arts in the court hall, and was reprimanded by His Majesty in public, and His Majesty might be angry if Master Changsun hadn't rescued him."

"It turned out to be like this. How can the students in the Faculty of Arts compete with the students of our Imperial College? They are just children from a peasant family, and they have only studied for a few years? Let's look at the students of our Imperial College. Supervisor, which one has not studied hard for ten years?"

"However, there are highly respected gentlemen such as Xiao Yu in the Literary Academy. The gentlemen in the academy are not well-known celebrities. Although the gentlemen of our Guozijian are not bad, but in comparison, I always feel that."

The supervisor didn't say any more about the following words, everyone knew it in their hearts.

In terms of fame, the gentlemen of Guozijian are not as good as those recruited by Xiao Yu's connections to Zhuangzi.

The academy on Zhuangzi in Dongshan County has poured so much effort into it. Everyone in the academy hopes that the academy will get better and better, so they are all willing to contribute and use their connections to seek more good things for the academy.

On the other hand, at the Guozijian, those who can be teachers in the Guozijian are all serious and have official positions, and those who receive the imperial salary. Although a Guozijian is an independent educational institution, it is also a small officialdom, not just among the gentlemen. , The same is true among students, forming cliques and working independently.

There is this phenomenon in the court, which is the struggle between the fathers, and it also occurs in the Guozijian, which is the struggle between the children of those in the court.

People with different political opinions, should they expect their children to come together and have a good drink?It is impossible to think about it.

"Anyway, in this competition, we can't lose, and we can't afford to lose." A supervisor said, "If we really lose to the students from the Zhuangzi College in Dongshan County in the big exam two years later, this person can't lose." It's a big loss, people before and after can't hold their heads up, and the status of the Imperial College is also worrying."
