The prefecture, prefecture and county schools were established under the edict of Taizu Zhang Shicheng.
It is an important part of the official system of Wei Dynasty.
During the Zhizheng period, the prefectural and county schools in the Wei Dynasty formed their own system. School affairs were not interfered by local officials, and officials such as professors, Xuezheng, teaching edicts, and tutors were specially set up for management.
The school also has a strict and complete management system.
Starting from the Zhizheng period, local Confucian education focused on the writing of eight-legged essays and the study of related classics.
Students need to take the annual examination and the subject examination once every three years. The former tests the students' usual academic performance, and the latter determines whether they are qualified to participate in the provincial examination.
Not long ago, Yang Yinqiu came to Yangzhou to hold the scientific examination, and Wu Decao was directly punished to the fifth grade of the government school. This meant that not only did he not have the money to receive as a junior student, but he also lost the qualification to participate in the provincial examination.
Of course, as Xu He, he might think this is a big deal, but for Wu Decao, it probably doesn't matter.
As for what Xu Song said, whether to go to a government school or a county school, according to regulations, this is not a choice that ordinary scholars can choose.
In Xu He's previous life, he saw many articles saying that after passing the examination, students could choose to study in any of the three schools in the prefecture and county.
He originally thought that was the case, but after actually taking the exam, he discovered that it was not the case at all.
Since the examination results were released, Yang Yinqiu assigned Xu He and other new students [affiliated students] to various county schools, prefecture schools and government schools.
The number of school places allocated in each county varies according to the level of writing style and the amount of money and food available.
Xu He has actually been assigned to the county school.
But with the power of the Xu family, it is not easy to transfer Xu He to another school while the Grand Master's files have not been reported to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites.
Xu He’s final answer to Xu Song was that he wanted to go to a private school to study.
First, he had seen the instruction from the county school a few times. To be honest, his level was average and his ability was limited. If he wanted to learn from him, he might as well learn from Xie Fuzi.
Also, since Peng Ruyu became the prefect, he reported it to the Nanjing Ministry of Civil Affairs, fired the original professor of the government school, and replaced him with a Juren named Gao Bi to teach in the government office.
I heard that this high-level scholar was very knowledgeable and had strict requirements for his students. The academic style of the government school was immediately purged after he came.
Since you are going to study, of course you have to choose a place with strict teachers and school requirements.
Besides, his teacher Li Zhijie was serving as an official in Yangzhou. After he left, he could benefit from him if he had the chance.
Xu Song was very satisfied with Xu He's choice. At first, he was worried that Xu He would think that the people in Hailing were familiar and would not want to study in a mansion. Unexpectedly, he actually asked for it, which made Xu Song very satisfied.
Soon, Xu Song relied on his connections to resolve Xu He's [transfer to another school].
Before leaving, Xu He went to the Xu family's ancestral grave as usual to worship his ancestors.
When he arrived at the cemetery, he kowtowed to his third-generation grandfather and then announced the good news to his ancestors.
Finally, we went to burn paper and kowtow at the grave of our father Xu Wei.
To be honest, he has almost no impression of this [father]. He only remembers that when he was a child, this father often went out to meet friends. When he finally came home, he liked to hold him and sit in the courtyard and read to him.
But Xu He could only remember a vague face and a poem.
He didn't pay much attention to that poem before, but standing at the grave, he suddenly thought of the line that his father Xu Wei often read.
"It seems like something [the armor is wet]!" Xu He looked at the grass on the grave and thought hard for a long time.
"How wet is the armor? It's definitely not these words. What is it?"
Suddenly, Xu He began to read: "The armor is infested with lice, and all the people will die. The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles. The people have lost one thing, and the thought of it will break people's hearts."
He suddenly realized that it was not "The Armor Is Born" at all, but Cao Cao's "Hao Li Xing".
This is a poem lamenting the frequent wars and the hardship of the people.
"I didn't expect you to be a scholar who cares about the country and the people!" Xu He sighed softly at the tomb wearing clothes.
He was a good man and ambitious, but he had a bad fate. He died on the way to the provincial examination, and his body has not been left. Xu He knelt down, burned some ingots folded with his mother, sighed, and got up and left.
When he arrived at home, Xie Liangcai had already asked his servants to pick up Xu He's daily necessities and wait. Today he would accompany Xu He to register at the Fu School, so he arranged for people to help Xu He move early.
In the school, all students are required to stay in accommodation, and the school also has a strict attendance system.
But after the middle period of Emperor Zhizheng's reign, the system was weakened, and the teachers' salaries were so pitiful that they were often not paid on time, so they were unwilling to be too strict. The students were naturally happy and relaxed, running around and slipping away.
.
Xie Liangcai was the king of truants among them. He did not show up at the government school all day long, only studying and hanging out with Xu He.
When we went to Yangzhou, we rented Xiaoer's boat. Now Xiaoer's family heard that Xu He wanted to use the boat. Xiaoer's parents couldn't wait to carry the boat to the door of Xu's house overnight and let him get on the boat. There was no way, Xu He gave too much.
This time the girl didn't come with the waiter. Only brother and sister Ding Ze came to help take care of her.
They lived in the other courtyard on weekdays. Juan'er was responsible for cleaning up the other courtyard for Xu He to stay there occasionally. Ding Ze waited at the entrance of the school every day. If Xu He needed to go out, he would hold an umbrella with him. .
Don’t get me wrong, this umbrella is not meant to protect you from rain or sun.
Officials have the dignity of being officials, and the registered squires who have become officials and Dingyou always sit on four-person sedans when they come in and out.
In addition to the bearers, there are also umbrella bearers who specialize in holding umbrellas. These five people are all wearing red vests and red hats. They are also followed by their family members. There are about ten people cheering in front of them, and they are almost the same as the officials in office. .
Dumplings are also made when people go out, but there are only two people carrying the cloth sedan, and the bearers cannot wear red. There are also book boys and long attendants holding umbrellas, which means four or five people must be supported in total.
Some rural people who pay attention to the appearance of cards, but no one cares about them anyway, they use a four-person sedan when traveling, and there are people carrying signs in front, with the words "Xiaolian" and "Rural Leader" written on them. When the people see this sign, they will I was immediately frightened.
However, they kept a low profile when entering the city, and the two of them sat back in the sedan, otherwise they would make people laugh.
As for the scholar...
The Gongsheng students, Supervisor students, and Scholars of the Wei Dynasty can be regarded as a class of scholars, but many of these people are poor people. They could have been officials according to the system, but they have no serious income, and studying is a very expensive job. If not at home, The rich and powerful, on weekdays, would be walking around as a bus at best, or walking on their legs wherever they went, at worst.
But if you are paying homage to your teachers or officials, you will be laughed at if you don't have a shoulder to sit with you.
When Xu He heard what Xie Liangcai said, he sighed in his heart. Without the income from restaurants and sugar, he would be regarded as a rustic if he went to the government to study.
However, he is not a luxurious person, and he will not go out of his way to sit in public just to show off his appearance.
But he can save the shoulder carriage, but the book boy is indispensable.
Because no matter where a scholar goes, he always needs someone to hold an umbrella for him when he goes out. Most of the umbrellas held by the husband-in-law are tin-topped. For this reason, Xu He specially bought one when he was still ordering a Lan shirt. Now it is in Dingze Holding it in hand.
Why a tin roof?
Naturally, it must be distinguished from the umbrellas worn by ordinary people with flat heads. The tin top of this umbrella is shining brightly. From a distance, you can tell that the scholar is coming.
Xu He looked at the tin umbrella and sighed: "This is too troublesome!"
Xie Liangcai held the book and squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Where are you now? If you go to the government to learn the rules, they will torture you to death. Just wait!"
