Actually, it is nothing new for people from Tiaoyizhou to come to Jingzhou to serve as officials.
The Han Dynasty actually had regulations that local people could not serve as officials in the local area. Therefore, if the sons of aristocratic families from Jingzhou strictly followed the rules and regulations of the court, they would not be able to serve as officials in Jingzhou.
However, although this system has been proposed a long time ago, its implementation is not rigorous, and it is limited to the county level at most.
For example, people born in Nanjun cannot be officials in Nanjun, but they can be officials in Nanyang County or Jiangxia County, and they do not have to leave Jingzhou.
However, people in this era have an unusual obsession with serving as local officials. In addition, it was the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty, the court laws were lacking, and there were many aristocratic families, so no one was seriously abiding by this rule.
But if you don't comply, you won't comply. If Zhang Xi really uses this as an excuse to bring people from Yizhou to Jingzhou to serve as officials, there will be no problem in terms of law.
The problem is that the Jingzhou family does not agree.
Yi Ji's original suggestion was just to ask Liu Bei to bring back a group of Jingzhou officials who had been transferred to Yizhou. He was not asking for Yizhou people to be transferred to Jingzhou as officials.
How could the Jingzhou family tolerate this kind of land grab? !
Therefore, officials from the Jingzhou faction, including Ma Liang, who was from Yi, came to Zhang Xi one after another to persuade Zhang Xi to think twice before acting.
But Zhang Xi said that he did not want to cause such a result. The main reason was that he was really short of people, and there was really no talent on the ground in Jingzhou. In order to stabilize the place and appease the people, he had no choice.
As soon as the people from the aristocratic family heard Zhang Xi's nonsense, they immediately knew that this guy had evil intentions and was ready to exploit the local aristocratic families in Jingzhou.
But no matter what, it is better than letting people from Yizhou come to Jingzhou to serve as officials.
When people from Yizhou come to Jingzhou, will they go to their posts alone? ! Don’t you want to develop in Jingzhou Real Estate? ! Wouldn't you want to install a close confidant? !
This is simply trying to steal the jobs of Jingzhou people.
If you came to Jingzhou to take refuge because of the war, it would be hard for the powerful Jingzhou family to say anything, but if you came to be an official, the people of Jingzhou would definitely not agree.
So, several aristocratic families in Nanjun discussed it and simply threw out a few so-called "talents" to deal with Zhang Xi and block Zhang Xi's excuse for transferring people from Yizhou.
In this way, five or six children of aristocratic families, including Pang Tong's younger brother Pang Lin, were thrown out to deal with Zhang Xi.
As for Li Qiu and Zhang Yi. They have already been appointed, so there is no reason to replace them at will. There are only two of them anyway. Don’t you, the Jingzhou family, not even have the capacity to accommodate people? !
Let's forget about the transfer of people from Yizhou for the sake of Jingxiang and his elders. These two people, can't you just look at my face? !
Or do you think I don’t have such a great reputation? !
Zhang Xi has said so. What can the Jingzhou family say? Just bear with it.
This Zhang Yuanchang is not a good person. He is the one who made that fish scale album. God knows if there are any other bad things in this guy's belly? !
Now that he has taken a step back and no longer transfers people from Yizhou, it is better for us to accept it as soon as possible and not to offend him.
As for the children of the aristocratic families, Zhang Xi didn't mind them too much, so he left them all to Ma Liang to deal with.
It has to be said that the educational resources received by children from aristocratic families are much better than those from poor families. The talents of these people can fully enrich the officials at the "Pu" and "Historian" level in Nan County.
Only Pang Lin, relying on Pang Tong's relationship, came to complain to Zhang Xi. He really didn't want to become an official, but was forced to do so by his family.
As for the children of aristocratic families, they don’t have to worry about food and clothing, and they have people to support them even when they are lying down at home. They have nothing to do but travel around the mountains and rivers, and spend time with their lovers. Why do they have to work so hard to become an official? !
Pang Lin's character is really similar to the salty character of modern people, but he doesn't get involved and just lie flat, he really has salty capital.
The Pang family has a transcendent status in Jingzhou. No matter which force controls Jingzhou, it will not touch the Pang family. As long as Pang Lin does not serve as an official, he can live in it for the rest of his life.
But now, Pang Lin's salty career is over.
Zhang Xi listened to Pang Lin's complaints with a smile, and then appointed him as Nanjun's military commander, and packed him up and sent it to Guan Yu.
Pang Lin was not incompetent. Pang Tong praised him for his ability to train the navy. Although he was bragging for his brother, Pang Tong's vision was there. If Pang Lin didn't have any real ability, Pang Tong wouldn't be able to brag. stand up.
Besides, Zhang Xi remembered that Pang Lin was one of the commanders of the navy during Liu Bei's battle at Yiling.
It just so happened that Guan Yu was rebuilding the Jingzhou navy, so sending him someone who knew the navy would save a lot of trouble.
After making these personnel arrangements, Zhang Xi officially began preparations for the establishment of Yuelu Academy.
The academy must be built, it is not an excuse to fool Sima Hui.
But these days, academies are more of a face-saving project. Zhang Xi doesn't expect to cultivate many talents through such things as academies in this era.
These days, the aristocratic family is the one who holds the right to interpret knowledge, and they will not just watch Zhang Xi come and snatch this important right from their hands.
Therefore, when he heard that Zhang Xi was going to build an academy, even Ma Liang couldn't bear it anymore and came to Zhang Xi to inquire about the news.
Naturally, Zhang Xi did not hide anything from Ma Liang. At the same time, he also hoped to convey some information to the Jingzhou aristocratic families through Ma Liang.
Zhang Xi told Ma Liang that the so-called Yuelu Academy was just a monumental academy built by Zhang Xi because he felt that the land of Jingxiang was rich in culture and talented people.
This academy is usually only used as a collection of books, used to preserve some classics and historical books, and also provides some houses for traveling scholars to live.
With the permission of the government, scholars can read the classics in the academy and meet friends through literature in this place. If a great scholar comes to Jingzhou, or if there is a great scholar in Jingzhou who wants to imitate Pang Degong in giving lectures, this Yuelu Academy can also be used as a place for lectures.
To put it simply, this is not a school, just a library with dormitories.
When Ma Liang heard that this was the case, he felt relieved.
There are similar things like this in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and now Yecheng. They are only used for collecting books. The people who can go there to read the classics are basically people from aristocratic families.
As long as Zhang Xi doesn't find someone to teach and train talents from poor families, then it doesn't count as a face-saving project that affects the aristocratic families' rights to interpret classics and education, and let Zhang Xi do it.
Anyway, the aristocratic families don't believe that Zhang Xi can find many so-called classics to put in this library, and without a classics library, it's just an inn. If you want to, go ahead and do it.
Most of the aristocratic families were relieved. Only Sima Hui laughed in his heart and said, "How do you know that junior's intentions?"
Sima Hui already knew from his own channels that the paper and engraving printing technology mentioned by Zhang Xi were indeed true.
Especially paper. Yizhou has gradually implemented this not-so-new writing medium in all counties. However, Liu Bei did not forcefully promote it. Instead, he obtained some "agency rights" and gave the distribution rights to local aristocratic families.
The local aristocratic family that has the right to issue paper will naturally be targeted by other aristocratic families, but the paper in their hands is really good-a piece of paper only costs ten to fifteen yuan, and even the children of poor families can afford it.
Moreover, these aristocratic families who had the right to distribute paper did not use it for sale as soon as they obtained the paper. Instead, they copied all their own classics twice, one for archiving and preservation, and then took the other , to exchange family heirlooms with other aristocratic families.
It made those aristocratic families who originally had objections feel itchy in their hearts.
Don't change it. The right to interpret this classic is left to others.
After all, paper has taken a huge advantage in circulation. Maybe in the future, the whole of Yizhou will learn from this classic with other people's annotations. From now on, it will be orthodox, and everything else will be false.
You can change it. It's a bit embarrassing.
The aristocratic families in Yizhou are quite contradictory now. They want to control paper themselves, but they are opposed to others controlling paper.
The Yizhou families can continue to be entangled in conflicts, but in Sima Hui's view, the general trend of this matter has been clear.
As long as their status is not greatly affected, the aristocratic family is actually the one who welcomes paper the most.
So, once Zhang Xi establishes the Yuelu Academy, would you like to take a look at a batch of paper classics from Yizhou and store them in the Yuelu Academy? !
These days, information is not flowing smoothly. The same "The Analects" may not necessarily have the same version in different places. Different people make annotations and interpretations, and their understandings are also different.
When the aristocratic families in Jingzhou read the Analects of Confucius annotated by Yizhou people and found that their understanding was different from theirs, did they want to curse? !
This is related to the foundation of our family.
So how can we let everyone know that the Yizhou family’s annotation of the Analects is wrong, but the Jingzhou family’s understanding is correct? !
The simplest way is to write a book to refute it, or simply explain your own annotations on the Analects for everyone to listen to, so that everyone can judge whose annotation is correct.
But if you criticize, the Yizhou people will definitely not do it. You must criticize the past two times. This Yuelu Academy does not need to specially arrange people to give lectures. The aristocratic families in Yizhou and Jingzhou have their own I can wrap up all the teachers in this academy, and I also take the initiative. If you don't let me teach, I will be in a hurry with you.
On the surface, Zhang Xi had no intention of disturbing the family's right to interpret the classics, but in fact, this junior did it quietly.
Today's juniors are really great. Shi Yuan, Yuan Zhi, Kong Ming and others should not be underestimated. This Zhang Yuanchang is probably not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Then, Sima Hui began to think about Zhang Xi's invitation to be the head of Yuelu Academy.
This kind of academy will inevitably become a place for quarrels between various aristocratic families in the future. If there is not a person with enough weight to suppress it, it will really not be easy to run smoothly.
Scholars these days are not a bad person, and if their claims become too popular, it is not impossible to smash this "place of evil talk and deceive the public" with their own hands.
Therefore, Sima Hui is indeed the most suitable candidate that Zhang Xi can find.
As for Sima Hui, how is he different from Pound? !
First, Sima Hui is a foreigner, not a native of Jingxiang.
Second, Pang Degong was kind to the Jingzhou family, but Sima Hui was not.
The first one is a fact that cannot be changed, but the second one is an opportunity right in front of you.
If Sima Hui really becomes the mountain chief of Yuelu Academy, then all the scholars who come to Yuelu Academy to read books will have to suffer from him. And if Sima Hui can make a fair decision in the debate at the academy, then the Aristocratic families everywhere also have a share of kindness.
This is an excellent place to gain reputation and favor.
For such a position, Sima Hui felt that it was not unacceptable for him to go out of his way to help Zhang Xi recommend some talents from local aristocratic families.
