Wentang

Chapter 322
"You, come to teach?" Yue Shan shook his head and said, "This joke is not funny at all."

"I'm not joking." Yu Kexun said seriously.

Seeing his serious look, Yue Shan slowly put away his smile, and then raised a surprised expression: "Do you really want to teach?"

"Correct."

"Why? You are the governor of a state. It is too disrespectful to go to teach, so you are not afraid of ridicule?"

"Hehe..." Yu Kexun sneered, "Aren't I being ridiculed now?"

Uh... Yue Shan was speechless.A governor who was ostracized but did not resist was indeed ridiculed by many people.And the culprit of the overhead is himself... emmm, this is embarrassing.

Yue Shan felt a little embarrassed.

Think about it, Yu Kexun is not a good official, but he is definitely not a bad official, so it is really not good for him like this.But...political struggle doesn't matter what the truth is, it's only about the position.

Yue Shan had a headache.

"I heard that you also opened an academy called Longshoushan Academy in Chang'an, and invited many famous teachers and scholars?" Yu Kexun suddenly asked.

"Yes." Yue Shan looked at him, waiting for his next words.

"My eldest grandson is nine years old this year. He loves reading and is a good young man. I always want him to worship under a famous teacher." Speaking of this, Yu Kexun smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that I, the governor, don't have enough face. Many have failed."

"Family status." Yue Shan sighed.

"Yes, from a family background." Yu Kexun said in a complicated tone.

Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, this situation exists even in the 21st century.A famous domestic school recruits famous teachers, and the salary can only be said to be average, but there are still countless elites applying for the job.

The reason is very simple. The school promises that after the successful application of famous teachers, their children can attend the middle school attached to the school for free.

There are more than 140 students admitted to prestigious universities in "every district" of the capital, and the affiliated middle schools of this prestigious university occupy more than 80 places exclusively.

Moreover, this middle school has a rate of more than 90.00%. It can be said that as long as you go to this middle school, it is equivalent to recommending 985.211.

What is it called?This is called winning at the starting line.

This is true in the 21st century, let alone in ancient times.As mentioned earlier, how does the family rely on inheritance?Monopoly of high-end knowledge.

Yu Kexun was born in a poor family, and was dispatched to serve as an official in places like Dezhou and Dizhou, so he had very few opportunities to get in touch with famous teachers and scholars.So it is impossible to find a famous teacher for his grandson.

Of course, there are still differences between the 21st century and the Tang Dynasty. While those social elites in the 21st century enjoy high-quality education, they have not cut off the channel from the grassroots to the top.

As long as you work hard, you can also enter 985.211 and even prestigious schools by taking the college entrance examination.Although everyone's starting line is different, after all, everyone is given a chance to get on the runway.

Yue Shan is not opposed to the children of these social elites enjoying high-quality education. Their fathers and grandparents have worked hard for generations, so why can't they enjoy high-quality education?
Is it really necessary to let the children of those who are healthy but become beggars be on the same starting line as the children of those who get up early and work hard every day and finally become elites?

This is really unfair.

It doesn't matter if you feel that your starting point is low, so try to create opportunities for your children and grandchildren, so that your children and grandchildren can win at the starting line.

While complaining about their poor starting point, giving up on themselves, and then complaining that their children cannot enjoy high-quality education...

The country is doing its best to maintain the passage between the upper and lower classes. As long as you work hard, you can change your life one day.Even if you can't get to the top, you can create a higher starting point for your children.

So work hard, brothers and sisters.

In the case of the Tang Dynasty, the upper and lower passages were cut off.Those aristocrats took advantage of their forerunners to block the path of the lower classes.They enjoy wealth forever, while ordinary people are forever enslaved.

Yu Kexun became the governor by chance. He thought his family background had changed.However, he was repeatedly rejected to find a famous teacher for his grandson, which made him wake up. In the eyes of the aristocratic family, he was just a nouveau riche.

In other words, people didn't pay attention to him at all.

It is so difficult even for the governor's grandson to seek a famous teacher, let alone ordinary people.

Wash and go to bed, tomorrow I have to move bricks.

Yue Shan was born as a mud leg in two lifetimes, and he is deeply abhorrent of this kind of knowledge monopoly.He wants to break this situation, not to mention being absolutely fair, which is impossible.But at least ordinary people should be given a chance to work hard.

This is the purpose of his school.

farther away...

Yu Kexun suddenly brought up his academy, his family background and so on. Yue Shan thought he wanted him to help him connect with famous teachers and so on.

After thinking about it, he wasn't going to refuse, and it wasn't enough to make Yu Kexun empty.He didn't dare to make any small moves with himself, but he would return to Beijing sooner or later, and Tian Xuechen and others might not be able to control him by then.

The best way is to let him give up resistance and actively cooperate, so introducing a famous teacher to his grandson, maybe it's a deal?
But first we need to figure out what Yu Kexun means.

"I do know a few famous teachers and scholars, how about introducing them for you?" Yue Shan tried to say.

Yu Kexun's eyes lit up, and he seemed a little moved, but finally he shook his head and said, "No, twisted melons are not sweet."

When Yue Shan was disappointed, he heard Yu Kexun say: "I want him to go to Longshoushan Academy to study with you."

"What?" Yue Shan asked in surprise.This answer was beyond his expectation.

"How could you have such an idea?"

"Son of the Immortal, the author of the Five Books of Yue Xue, a calligraphy of its own, Qingshui Hou, the empress' brother-in-law, the eldest princess' son-in-law...any one of them is a reason, and they can become my grandson's teacher." Yu Kexun said .

"But, do you know what this means?" Yue Shan asked seriously.

"I know, isn't it just the position of the governor. Ten years ago, I might be reluctant, but now that I am old, I hope that the wealth of the Yu family can be passed on more than my own ideals and ambitions." Yu Kexun laughed at himself:
"I used to think that I was the governor of a state, and I could create a lineage of the Yu family in Dezhou. But now I know that I can't even keep the wealth of the second generation of the Yu family. I can use the position of governor to exchange for a backer for the Yu family, and keep the third generation of the Yu family. Wealthy, worth it."

This answer was beyond Yue Shan's expectation, but it was understandable after thinking about it carefully.Compared with the continuous wealth and honor of the family, personal honor and disgrace are nothing.

In the 21st century, those social elites give up better wages and opportunities to teach in prestigious universities with mediocre benefits, isn't it also for the sake of quality education for their children and grandchildren?

Some concepts are the same in ancient and modern times.

"Okay, since that's the case, I will take him away when I return to Beijing. You should reunite with him in the next few days."
