   Chapter 25 025 [Little Master]

  Hanzhu Academy is the cornerstone of Fei’s culture in Qianshan.

  Since the start of business, Fei has built a "Pearl Private School" and continuously purchased books from Fujian and Zhejiang through caravans. One hundred years ago, "Hanzhu Private School" was expanded into "Hanzhu Academy", and more than 40 officials have come out of it.

  The academy is owned by the Henglin Fei family. Each branch raises funds to operate it every year, and at the same time allows children with other surnames to study.

  If a good seedling is found, no matter what his surname is, Fei will invest in it and cultivate it.

  Although Fei’s family has not produced Jinshi for two generations, but in recent years, the students with other surnames sponsored have produced one Jinshi and four Juren!

   On board.

  Qin Xin, Jian Dan, Jiu Po, and Hu Mengtai's family boy Le Rong, four little kids are playing mahjong.

  Wei Jianxiong, holding a wrought iron rod, leaned against the cabin and fell asleep.

  Zhao Han is studying hard. The "Spring and Autumn" brought by Hu Mengtai is a bit difficult to read.

  At least Zhao Han can't read it as a storybook, even if there are annotations in the book, the names of people and places still give him a headache.

   Inside cabin.

  Hu Mengtai sighed and said: "My father was so moved that he really wanted to donate five thousand taels of silver to get me a magistrate!"

   "He Wei Zhaocheng, a mere governor, has the ability to sell his officials?" Fei Yinghuan shook his head and sneered, "Anyway, I don't believe it."

  Hu Mengtai said: "My father guessed that the resurgence of the Dongdong Forest Party may be in urgent need of a lot of money. This Wei Zhaocheng is just a fierce soldier, and I am afraid that most of the income from selling officials will be paid as tribute."

  Fei Yinghuan asked: "Do they really have so many official vacancies in big counties?"

Hu Mengtai said: "The Donglin Party is now in control of Nanbeijingcha, and there must be a lot of official vacancies. Brother Dazhao's family is also in business, and many times there is no need to clear the property. Wei Zhaocheng sells 20 magistrates in Jiangxi If there is a lack of money, one hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver can be received based on five thousand taels. He can only cash in two or three, and the rest of the excuses are waiting for the vacancies to be replaced. Starting price, whoever gives more money will be given first to whoever is really short."

Fei Yinghuan suddenly realized, and said in shock: "Can it still work like this? Then he can earn thirty or fifty scholars' official silver with only three or five shortfalls! This kind of thing is not seen well, and he can pay for it." Those who buy an official have to save face, even if they find out that they have been cheated, they don’t dare to say anything.”

  Hu Mengtai smiled and said: "Whoever pays first to buy an official will be more likely to get the real shortage, which can be regarded as the 'horse bone' given by Wei Zhaocheng."

  Fei Yinghuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This kind of business genius, what kind of official is he still doing? Retiring early to do business is a great thing for the country and himself!"

  Hu Mengtai said: "Brother Dazhao, if you want to donate an official, you have to do it quickly. The official minister is Wang Yongguang."

   "Wang Yongguang still dares to move left and right?" Fei Yinghuan shook his head repeatedly.

  Hu Mengtai said: "If Your Majesty shows any dissatisfaction with the Donglin Party, with Wang Yongguang's temperament, he will definitely fight back."

  Fei Yinghuan thought carefully, and had to admit: "It is true."

  The two Juren who have not stepped into the officialdom can see Wang Yongguang so thoroughly, one is because they have information sources, and the other is because Wang Yongguang is so famous.

   In the first year of Taichang, this person spoke up for justice and offended many dignitaries, and his position was biased towards the Donglin Party.

  Three years after Tianqi, this person was involved in the Guihai Jingcha, fell out with the Donglin Party, and was forced to resign and return to his hometown.

   In the fifth year of the apocalypse, this person was appointed by Wei Zhongxian to try his best to cling to the **** party.

   In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, this person took advantage of the explosion at Wang Gong's factory to attack Wei Zhongxian suddenly, and asked for the return of the ticket imitation rights, and helped several Donglin party bosses speak good words. Dismissed from office.

  In the first year of Chongzhen, that is, this year, this person was appointed by the Donglin Party, and he became the Minister of the Ministry of Officials at once.

   Repeatedly jumping horizontally, his left and right maneuvers are dazzling, and no one knows which side this guy is from.

   You say he is following the crowd, but he is not afraid of the powerful.

   When the Donglin Party was in decline, he helped the Donglin Party speak. When the Donglin Party was the strongest, they fell out with the Donglin Party. When Wei Zhongxian was just rising, he had no shame in clinging to the eunuchs. When Wei Zhongxian was so powerful, he stood up to support the Donglin Party and clamored for Wei Zhongxian to hand over the power of the cabinet.

  According to this law, the Donglin Party is now in the limelight, and it is time for Wang Yongguang to jump back.

  Historically, the Donglin Party cabinet in the Chongzhen Dynasty was brought down by Wang Yongguang and Zhou and Wen... This is a **** stick that runs through the party struggles in the late Ming Dynasty. As long as you don’t feel disgusting, then the disgusting ones are others!

  Although Fei Yinghuan and Hu Mengtai live in Jiangxi, they read Tangbao every month to understand the situation between North Korea and China.

  Every time they read the big news about Wang Yongguang, they were completely confused, and they couldn't understand what Wang Yongguang wanted to do.

  Hu Mengtai said: "I went to Hanzhu Mountain to study in retreat this time to prevent my father from buying an official. I have sworn in the Hu's ancestral hall that if I can't be a Jinshi in three years, I will go back to Hanzhu Mountain and continue to retreat!"

   "Youli is very ambitious, Brother Yu will accompany you to study hard... for two months!" Fei Yinghuan made up his mind.

  Hu Mengtai laughed and said: "For Brother Dazhao, two months is not easy."

  The ship docks.

  Zhao Han put down the "Spring and Autumn" and handed it back to Hu Mengtai's family boy. Without a teacher explaining this stuff, there is no way for him to learn by himself.

   No wonder Erye Guan has been reading "Spring and Autumn" all his life. This book can be read for several lifetimes.

  Carrying the bookcase in his hand, Zhao Han followed the crowd and walked slowly towards Hanzhu Mountain.

  The private school is at the foot of the mountain, and none of its students have been admitted as a scholar.

  Academy is halfway up the mountain, and those who have merit can go up the mountain to study.

  Hanzhu Private School is small in scale, with only a few classrooms, and each classroom can accommodate 20 to 30 students. There is also a library and a student dormitory. Students who are far away from home can choose to board.

  Zhao Han came to the private school, and saw the students in the classroom, a few of them were dressed in shabby clothes, even barefoot in late autumn. He couldn't help asking: "Uncle Wei, can poor children study for free?"

  Wei Jianxiong nodded and said: "As long as you have the ambition to learn, you can come to Hanzhu Mountain to study. There is no tuition fee, but you need to bring your own books, pens and ink. If there is a prodigy with a photographic memory, Fei will definitely support him to obtain fame."

  Land in the south of the Yangtze River, the writing style is extremely prosperous, and the literacy rate is very high.

   Even the servants of the Fei family, half of them can understand popular novels if they are randomly selected.

  According to the diaries of Korean literati, as early as the mid-Ming Dynasty, people could communicate in Jiangnan by writing. Not so in the north. Korean literati said that if you look for a few more passers-by in the south of the Yangtze River, you will always find someone who can read, but in the north you may not see them all day.

  The same is true for Qianshan Mountain. Since Hanzhu Academy is free of tuition fees, the common people are willing to send their children to study. Even if you don't pass the examination as a scholar, you can still be a house slave or a buddy for Fei, and you can often get preferential treatment if you can read and write.

  Fei Yinghuan rested in the pavilion for a while, and then his silly son was brought.

  Fei Ruhe is a chubby little man, not puffy, but stout. This guy trotted over, kowtowed and shouted: "I have seen my father, I have seen my uncle (Hu Mengtai)!"

   In front of his son, Fei Yinghuan was very serious, with a serious expression on his face, "Where did you end up reading your homework?"

  Fei Ruhe replied: "I have learned "Ji Shi Chapter."

  Fei Yinghuan was furious: "It's been several years since you started enlightenment, yet you are still studying "The Analects of Confucius"?"

  The Four Books have a learning sequence, which is: "University", "The Analects", "Mencius", "The Doctrine of the Mean".

  I have been studying "The Analects of Confucius" for several years, so my IQ is really touching...

   Fei Ruhe knelt on the ground and dared not speak, and cast a sneaky glance at Hu Mengtai, hoping that his uncle could help him with a few words of kindness.

  Hu Mengtai laughed without speaking, even holding back his laughter.

Fei Yinghuan had a splitting headache, and didn't want to waste any more words, so he just said, "I found a book boy for you to study with you. He hasn't finished reading the fourth primary school book. If one day he overtakes you, I will definitely beat you." break your leg!"

  Fei Ruhe muttered, "I already have a book boy."

  Fei Yinghuan scolded: "Your academic progress is slow, and the book boy is also to blame. I will replace you with a better one!"

  Fei Ruhe begged: "Father, Fei Chun is fine, so there is no need to change it. If you change to a school boy, the child will inevitably not get used to it, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to study in the future."

   It really makes some **** sense.

  Fei Yinghuan thought for a while and said, "Then no change, just one more book boy. Zhao Han, come over and get to know the young master!"

  Zhao Han stepped forward and cupped his hands: "I have seen the young master."

  Fei Ruhe looked up at Zhao Han, suddenly unhappy: "You are my bookboy, why am I kneeling and you are still standing there? Quickly kneel with me!"

  Zhao Han replied: "I was sent by the son to urge the young master to study, not to kneel with the young master."

  Fei Ruhe immediately complained: "Father, this book boy is disobedient, drive him away quickly!"

  Fei Yinghuan was very satisfied, and said with a smile, "That's how it should be. Zhao Han, from now on, the young master is playful, so you can teach him a lesson for me. As long as you don't beat him to death or damage his appearance, you can do whatever you want!"

   "Obey!" Zhao Han cupped his hands.

  Fei Ruhe was dumbfounded, feeling that his life would be difficult in the future.
