Mingshi

Chapter 1208
Lu Rudai looked at Luo Xin worriedly. She is from a scholarly family, and her husband is the number one scholar. Now she is the left concubine of Zhan Shifu and the head of the Hanlin Academy. I just want Luo Yu to study essays.But in front of parents-in-law, it's not easy to object.It's just that before her mind turned around, Luo's mother was unwilling, and she glared at Luo Ping and said:
"What do you practice martial arts? My grandson will be the number one scholar in the future."

"What's wrong with practicing martial arts?" Luo Ping was displeased.

"If I say it's not good, it's not good. It's great to be the champion, and there's not so much danger. Do you want your grandson to go to the battlefield like Xin'er?"

"What's wrong with going to the battlefield?" Luo Ping's eyes also widened.

Luo Xin looked at Luo Yu, and a pensive look appeared on his face.But Luo Yu was dealing with that drumstick without hesitation.Seeing Luo Xin looking at Luo Yu thinking, Luo Ping and his wife stopped arguing, they all admired their son very much in their hearts, and couldn't help but look at Luo Xin.No matter what Luo Xin made, neither of them would object.Seeing Luo Xin's pensive look, Lu Rudai knew that Luo Xin had also moved his mind to let Luo Yu practice martial arts, so she couldn't help looking at Luo Xin with worried eyes, and the room fell silent, only Luo Yu was left gnawing on the chicken leg sound.

However, the room suddenly fell silent, how could Luo Yu not feel it, stared at Luo Xin in a daze in fright, and called out timidly:
"father!"

Luo Xin raised his hand and touched Luo Yu's head, and said gently:

"Eat."

"Oh!"

Luo Yu began to lower his head and exert force on the chicken leg again.

In fact, Luo Xin didn't really want Luo Yu to start studying at the age of three, and he was not in a hurry to study.What books are there to read in Daming now?
If it is classified according to later generations, it can be read in only one language.What are the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and songs are all Chinese, of course, it is much deeper than the Chinese of later generations.But later generations still have mathematics, physics, chemistry, political governance, geography and foreign languages, etc. In later generations, students who really learn it and are admitted to key universities have to put in more effort than the scholars of Ming Dynasty, but not many. , and still a lot more.

The reason why I feel that the ancient scholars were very tired is not because the content of the books is too much to read. In fact, on the contrary, there are not many books for the scholars to read in the Ming Dynasty. The real problem for the scholars is that there are no books to read.

Poor people can’t afford to read books. The vast majority of poor scholars may only have one book of Analects in their lifetime, and they will never be able to get a book of the mean. University waits for a book to read, just like Luo Xin just came to Daming, if he had not cheated in his previous life Memory, if he hadn't been able to get books to read from Lu Tingfang, as a farm student, even if he wanted to study, it would be good to have a book to read.

The result of this is that there are few books and insufficient knowledge. How can such a person pass the exam?

Just like when Luo Xin was taking the entrance exam for children, he had seen a gray-haired old man take the exam.How can a person like this not study hard?
But still can't pass the exam.

why?
Because of poverty!
If you are poor, you have no access to books.Without books, no matter how hard you try, your knowledge will not increase.Without the growth of knowledge, no matter how hard you try, you will not pass the exam. This is a vicious circle.

Therefore, a poor person like this, even if he started studying at the age of three, with his head hanging from the beam and his buttocks pierced, he would not be admitted as a scholar because of his inherent shortcomings.

Why do you say that it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son? The big reason lies in this!

However, Luo Xin has no shortage of books, so Luo Xin feels that there is no need for his son to start reading at the age of three. What's wrong?
but……

Martial arts is different.

Luo Xin knew that the foundation of martial arts must be laid at an early age. If Luo Xin wanted his son to learn martial arts, he should learn it at the age of three.What he was thinking about was whether Luo Yu should be allowed to practice martial arts.In the end, Luo Xin decided to let Luo Yu learn to try.

Not everyone can learn martial arts, it depends on a person's bones, if the person is not suitable for martial arts, you will not achieve anything if you work hard for the rest of your life, it is a waste of time.

If Luo Yu has the roots of martial arts, Luo Xin is ready to train it well. With Luo Ping, a master of martial arts, there is no problem in cultivating Luo Yu.

If he didn't have that talent, Luo Xin wouldn't let Luo Yu practice martial arts, and would let Luo Yu take martial arts practice as an exercise, so no time would be wasted.Thinking of this, he nodded and said:
"When I'm three years old, let Yu'er practice martial arts to see if he has the talent. If he has, then he can trouble his father to teach him. If not, he doesn't need to learn it. Just learn a set of boxing as a physical exercise."

"En!" Luo Ping nodded and said, "Talent in martial arts is very important, such as you and Qing'er, Qing'er is born to practice martial arts, you are not his opponent."

Luo Xin couldn't help but smile wryly, he is far from being Luo Qing's opponent, now that he is fighting Luo Qing, he might not even be able to get past ten moves, Luo Qing is really a fierce general who cannot be more fierce.

"If Yu'er is capable of learning martial arts, then leave it to me, and I promise to temper him into a fierce general who will not lose to Qing'er. If Yu'er is not that material, then let him learn literature from you."

Lu Rudai's face turned pale, thinking of Luo Xin's injuries, and thinking of her son's future battle in the battlefield, she couldn't help but want to speak.But before she could open her mouth, she heard Luo Dao:

"Father, I don't want Yu'er to follow the path of a general. In the future, Yu'er will still follow the path of a civil servant."

Lu Rudai closed her mouth, waiting for Luo Xin to continue.Luo Ping was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said:
"You want Yu'er to be like you?"

Luo Xin thought for a while and said: "Father, you also know the situation of the elder brother. The grassland is completely in the hands of the elder brother. There is no way to attack Daming. My cousin has already wiped out the Japanese country, so there will be no Japanese pirates in the south. And it won't be long before the Wa country is completely integrated, and the cousin will attack Goryeo. Now Goryeo has lost [-] elites in Daming, and there is no way to resist the cousin's attack. Therefore, Goryeo will fall into the hands of the cousin sooner or later. In this way, there will be no more wars around Ming Dynasty. In a peaceful Ming Dynasty, generals will have no way out."

"There is no way out!" Luo Ping sighed and said, "Nowadays, the status of military officers in Daming is very low. Third rank military officers have to kneel when they see fifth rank civil servants."

Speaking of this, he laughed at himself again and said: "I just have a son like you, and those civil servants are still polite when they see me. If it is really like what you said, the Ming Dynasty will be peaceful, and the life of a military officer will be great." It's even worse."

Luo Xin frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "Is it difficult for a civil servant to be a father?"
