The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1744 Gao Jifu's Kindness
It is precisely because of this that Gao Jifu was full of curiosity about the academy in Zhuangzi, and it happened that he was implicated in Yu Zhining's affairs, so he petitioned Li Chengqian to come to the academy, and he knew that Yu Zhining will not stay in the academy forever, and neither will he, so this trip is just to spend some time, spend some thought, and get to know the academy.

As the servant of the Ministry of Officials, the task on his shoulders is to arrange talents in suitable places for the Tang Dynasty. If the students taught by the Academy of Arts can really be called talents, they will be useful and beneficial to the court. It didn't matter if he supported the Faculty of Arts.

Therefore, Gao Jifu came to the academy on business, and he also came to inspect the academy. If the academy really caught Gao Jifu's eyes, then the academy would undoubtedly have another strong supporter in the court.

In recent days, the topic of the Faculty of Arts has been brought up again in the court, so Gao Jifu decided to do so, hearing is believing, seeing is believing.

"As the master of the academy, I definitely hope that my students can get better and better. I don't want to be the strongest, but I want to be stronger. 17 people participated in the general examination, Jinshi and No. 11 people. This is a gratifying result, but they failed the ranking. Those six people are still worrying." Xuan Shijing laughed.

Those six people passed the township examination, but they were disrespectful in the general examination, so what will they do next?Once they graduate from the academy, the academy will no longer care about their future. They are all children from ordinary households. Will they wait another two years before making a comeback?
The possibility of this is still very high, after all, it was just a kick in the door, and it turned out that the kick missed.

Although it failed once, it is still possible to try again in two years. There are still many people in their 40s and [-]s in the examination room. How old are the students in the academy?

They still have a chance to fight, but they don't know if their family can afford it
Studying these days is also a matter of burning money, because the first batch of college students enjoy a lot of subsidies from the college, so their families can still afford it.

"Although those six people didn't get into Jinshi, after passing the provincial examination, it is still possible to arrange to be a small official in the government office or county office. If they have qualifications, achievements, and chances for promotion in the future, it is also possible to be an official. It is not the only way to go to the Jinshi examination. The imperial court opens a course to select a scholar. It is held every two years. Twenty or thirty people are selected every two years. For the entire Tang Dynasty, this is not enough. This year is an exception. There are more than 40 of them." Gao Jifu said.

Jinshi is not the only way to become an official in the court, but other ways are more cost-effective for people from ordinary families.

As for Gao Jifu's qualifications, no one with ten or eight years can get ahead?Even if you are in the early stage, in the county government, it is just a step forward from a civil official. From a small official to a county magistrate, it is a difficult hurdle to pass. Who knows how many years it will take, It may be three to five years, it may be ten or eight years, and what's more, you will never be able to cross that line in your entire life.

However, after the students graduate from the academy, it is time for them to decide their own way of life. From the very beginning, the teachers of the academy will not force them to do anything, but just give them pertinent suggestions, and the right to choose is complete. In their own hands, after graduation, they have more choices in their hands, and it is impossible for people in the academy to worry about them for the rest of their lives.

"However, it is a good thing that the students of the academy can get such grades." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Gao is going to come to the academy."

"Yeah." Gao Jifu said: "You might as well tell Duke Xuan the truth, this time I also took the initiative to ask His Highness to come to the academy."

"Oh? Isn't it because of Master Yu Zhining?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Gao Jifu shook his head: "No, I'm here for the academy."

Sure enough, Xuan Shijing looked at Gao Jifu with serious eyes, Gao Jifu saw Xuan Shijing looking at him like this, and said with a smile: "Xuan Gong, listen to me and finish speaking, and then it's not too late to take precautions."

Xuan Shijing nodded, and signaled Gao Jifu to continue. Gao Jifu came to the academy for impure purposes, Xuan Shijing could guess, but he didn't expect him to say it so bluntly.

This is very interesting, what does Gao Jifu want to do?
"The students of the Faculty of Liberal Arts have achieved remarkable results in the general examination. Such results are enough to make the court officials pay more attention to them, and the reputation of the Faculty of Liberal Arts will also be famous for it." Gao Jifu Said: "Your Majesty came to the academy at this time, Duke Xuan should think it is a good thing."

Hearing Gao Jifu's words, it should be on the academy's side?But Xuan Shijing is still not sure, and he can't let go of his guard just because of Gao Jifu's few words. The current academy is not owned by the Xuan family, nor is it the hard work of Xuan Shijing alone. The academy on Zhuangzi brings together people Many, therefore, the academy can last for a few days, it is the joint effort of the people in the entire academy.

"Master Gao might as well just say it straight," Xuan Shijing said.

"The academy is actually very simple. I just want to understand the academy carefully. I am an official from the Ministry of Officials, and the academy is a place to cultivate talents for the court." Gao Jifu said, "Did Xuangong understand what you said? If the talents cultivated by the academy are really of great use to the imperial court, then the academy has the value of existence. Although the academy now has the support of His Majesty and His Highness, but if it wants to develop steadily, the attitude of those people in the court, It's also very important, isn't it? Things always have to be done step by step, and the next step is to take this step first."

The meaning of Gao Jifu's words is also very obvious. He is here to inspect the academy on Zhuangzi in Dongshan County on behalf of the Ministry of Officials. If the academy is really that good, then Gao Jifu's impression of the academy will not only be changed, but also most of the people. Ministry of officials.

"It seems that among the officials, there are still many enlightened people like Mr. Gao." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "If Mr. Gao came to the academy for this reason, then the academy welcomes Mr. Gao warmly." Arriving, just in time, Master Yu Zhining's matter is quite a headache for me, if Master Gao is here, I can feel more at ease."

Speaking of Yu Zhining, Gao Jifu also smiled helplessly. Gao Jifu also stayed in the East Palace in the early years, and he and Yu Zhining were colleagues in the East Palace. He knew Yu Zhining more deeply than Xuan Shijing, Xiao Yu and Gao Shilian. Everyone knows that Yu Zhining is going to hate the prince at this time.Not only offending the prince, but also making it difficult for His Majesty, but he just did it.
