Ji Tang

Chapter 766 I Have a Premonition
The time for the solar eclipse is getting closer and closer, and Chang'an is becoming more lively.Many people from the surrounding area who wanted to witness this grand ceremony came to Chang'an in advance, and some even went to Taibai Academy to get a good seat in advance.

Although it is of little use, they are all happy with it.

Taibai Academy is not accessible to anyone who wants to enter. Without an acquaintance as a guarantor, the guard at the door makes it impossible for anyone to enter.

This is already the holy land of culture in the Tang Dynasty, and the library built with huge stones can be said to contain the crystallization of the wisdom of the Tang Dynasty and even the previous Central Plains.

Regardless of the various schools of thought or the three religions and nine streams, all valuable books are collected here.

Humanities, industries, politics, people's livelihood, philosophy, farming, etc., as long as they can be found, there are backups here.

If there is a tribal country that can get the things here, which are not much, but just in case, it can benefit a lot and become strong.

This shows how tempting the knowledge here is.

But what disappoints all the surrounding countries is that no matter how much they pay, as long as the academy is involved, they will come with joy and return with dismay!

Therefore, the academy's defense was even tighter. The emperor even sent his confidants to lead five thousand soldiers to station at the foot of the mountain and patrol every day to prevent anyone from taking risks.

Therefore, no matter what your status is, you will abide by the rules here when you come to the academy.

But fortunately, a large town has been established at the foot of Taibai Mountain.

Although it is said to be a big town, it is comparable to other counties.

Many people come here to do business every day, and restaurants, shops, and restaurants have all sprung up in a short period of time.

Moreover, preparations have been made to establish a county here, and the area to be governed is not large, only a few dozen miles in radius.It is said to be a county town, but everyone knows that it was only established to better manage the academy.

As the academy gets bigger and bigger and there are more and more students, consumption here increases dramatically.

There is a brothel in Chang'an who wants to build a brothel here. Originally, this was a trivial matter with his profound background.

But no one expected that Li Gang would file a memorial and file a lawsuit.

Among the words, Ji Song broke into a cold sweat after hearing it, and sternly warned his family not to build a play area there, otherwise he would be severely punished and would never be tolerated!

What do you think Li Gang said?

Corrupting the seeds of reading, tempting students to have fun, corroding students' minds, disrupting the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, their minds can be punished, and their people can be killed
Who can stand this?

It's fine if it's just Li Gang, but who can have family and friends all over the world?
Therefore, in less than half a month, all the Confucian masters in various places began to support Li Gang, and their words became more and more fierce, and finally they reached the point of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

They forced the local officials to send this memorial to the emperor, otherwise it would definitely make them look good.

Who are these people?
All of them are famous in the local area. Not only their moral character has been tested, but they are also students and old friends all over the world. If they really embarrass the local officials, no one can stop them!

Anyway, in the end, the officials sent the memorials to the emperor one after another. Not to mention how much headache the emperor had, they just heard that someone was called into the palace that night, and the screams that came from inside could be heard even outside the palace.The next day, the newly built three-story luxury building that cost millions of dollars was razed to the ground. As for what happened to the people behind it, it was not something ordinary people could know.

I just heard that this person was sent to the frontier. If he couldn't make great achievements, he would never have the chance to return to Chang'an in this life.

At this point, the matter came to an end. Officials from various places also sent memoranda of apology from local people, saying that they were impulsive and that the saints were wise and so on.

Since then, this newly built county has become the only county in the world without a brothel, which makes some students who want to discuss life's shortcomings with the young lady secretly feel pity.
Taibai County is the name of this new county at the foot of Taibai Mountain.

In a restaurant, Li Chunfeng stood behind Yuan Tiangang, standing on the third floor and looking at the increasingly grand academy building.

“It’s a place that I can’t even imagine in my dreams!”

Yuan Tiangang looked obsessed. He understood the significance of this academy very well. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the first of its kind!
Its establishment broke the eternal problem of aristocratic families monopolizing books and monopolizing official positions.Its existence has allowed many talented people to display their talents.

Every year, thousands of students go to other places or return to their hometowns. Except for a small number of outstanding talents who participate in the imperial examination and are awarded official positions.

They established academies in their hometowns on their own. As long as they passed the official assessment and were indeed qualified and capable to educate students, they would be awarded the title of official academy by the court and receive a certain amount of funding every year.If you are lucky enough to educate outstanding students, you will get an official position and enter the official career.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no unspoken rule that people who did not take the imperial examination were not allowed to hold high positions. As long as they entered the official career and had good abilities, it was not a problem at all to switch from teaching and educating people to local administrative officials.

But these were a minority after all, and the Tang Dynasty could not support so many officials.

But these students are not hopeless. The aristocratic families have many industries. Without outstanding talent management, big problems will occur sooner or later.

But the students of the academy are their most ideal targets. Regardless of their knowledge or foundation, as long as they can enter the academy, there will be no problem.

Therefore, after the Zheng family in Yingyang took the lead in recruiting a large number of students into various industries, in just a few years, the Zheng family's industry was managed in an orderly manner, and the output increased by more than one or two levels.

You have to know how huge the Millennium Family's property is, and how much wealth it is to be able to rise one or two levels within a few years?
Needless to say, every graduation season, a large number of aristocratic families, powerful landlords, and wealthy businessmen who think they still have some strength, all block the entrance of the academy and offer exorbitant employment fees to recruit students.

These are nothing to the children of distinguished families, but they are great opportunities for students from poor families or even those from poor families.

Although he cannot be an official, he can at least gain wealth and greatly improve the situation of himself and his family.

From then on, studying was no longer just a way to become an official. Failure to become an official would lead to a life of poverty.

It's not that the court didn't think about stopping it, but after careful consideration, it still let go.Since the imperial court cannot grant official positions, if people want to improve their situation, can the imperial court stop them?
This is to attract hatred. They are all scholars, and they know very well that doing so will cause backlash.

So everyone turned a blind eye, neither stopping nor encouraging, as long as you are willing, you can do whatever you want.Anyway, the best group of people among them are already in the hands of the imperial court. Although the others are not considered idiots, they are nothing to worry about compared to those people.

Yuan Tiangang's thoughts flew far away. Looking at the grand and solemn, but also full of vitality, the academy, his heart could not be calm for a long time.
"After this incident, you should resign from your official position! Come here and do your studies in peace. The officialdom is not suitable for you. Perhaps this is the place where you should come."

"I have a hunch that this is where the world will gather in the future."

Li Chunfeng was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the master with surprise.
