"Brother Yuxuan, Brother Zhonglun, I've bothered you two for waiting for a long time. Chief Shan left me to talk for a while..." Feng Ziying apologized when she saw the two of them.
"Ziying, it's rare for the mountain chief to keep someone talking for so long. It seems that Ziying is really the focus of everyone, even the mountain chief values so much." Fu Zonglong pursed his lips and tested.
He was always good at observation, and something unusual could be seen from the thoughtful expression on Feng Ziying's face.
He had been talking for so long, and this person looked so deep and depressed. It would be hard to believe if there was nothing wrong with him.
"Brother Zhonglun is too complimentary. The mountain chief just asked a few more questions about the Shandong Civil War. Didn't my little brother just catch up with that turmoil? The mountain chief was worried about national affairs, so he talked a little longer and returned the message. I have assigned an assignment, and I guess there will be no peace in the academy in the next few days." Feng Ziying also deliberately dropped the topic, "By the way, the mountain chief wants me to see the official commander first. Where is the commander? Office?"
Seeing that Feng Ziying was halfway talking, she brought up the matter of the Shandong Civil War, and then took the topic back, saying that she only had an assignment and wanted to make the academy uneasy.
This immediately aroused Chen Qiyu and Fu Zonglong, who were already active members in the academy.
But now Feng Ziying is going to see Guan Zhangyuan, and they can't refuse. They can only grit their teeth and sneer: "Guan Zhangyuan has an office in Dongyuan. Let's go, Ziying, we will take you there, and you can tell us on the way. What does homework mean?"
Although Qingtan Academy is simple on the outside and plain on the inside, it occupies a large area.
The entire college is divided into east and west gardens.
The East Garden is for junior students, that is, students who have not yet passed the Juren exam, while the West Garden is for senior students, that is, students who have already passed the Juren exam and are preparing to take the Spring Festival.
For example, most of the students in East Garden are under the age of eighteen, while most of the students in West Garden are over sixteen years old.
Qi Yongtai works in Xiyuan.
The East Garden is much larger than the West Garden, with about seventy or eighty people, while the West Garden is much smaller, with about ten or twenty people.
The entire Qingtan Academy has less than a hundred students, which is much inferior to Tonghui Academy and Chongzheng Academy, which often have two, three, or even three or four hundred students.
In fact, Feng Ziying had already noticed that these two were also restless masters.
If they were ordinary students, they would just walk to the door of Qi Yongtai's office and leave, but these two people were able to stay there for more than half an hour. Although it was a break, they could endure it, which speaks volumes.
"The chief of the mountain wants me to describe the entire process and the causes and consequences one by one based on my trip to Shandong. Well, I guess it may involve some specific case analysis. It seems that the chief of the mountain intends to describe this. Let's put the case in the West Garden and let our seniors do a case analysis."
As expected by Feng Ziying, the two of them were both excited and a little dissatisfied as soon as his words came out. Fu Zonglong immediately said: "Ziying, why don't you fight for this kind of thing? Of course the seniors can do case analysis, But why can’t our Dongyuan classmates?”
Chen Qiyu was also pondering: "Ziying, this matter must be fought for, and we cannot give in easily. Only you are the most familiar with the situation. This needs to be explained one by one, and it must be richly polished. Some details also need to be carefully added and perfected." , you spend so much time just making wedding clothes for your seniors?”
Although Dongyuan and Xiyuan both belong to Qingtan Academy, the students in Dongyuan are facing the most difficult test - the provincial examination. If they cannot pass this test, everything will be over.
The students in Xiyuan have all passed the provincial examination. In a sense, these students have already been qualified to be officials in this century. They only need to register for the Ministry of Civil Affairs for a few years before they can have the opportunity to be assigned to the government. It is not impossible for him to be appointed as Zuo Er in the state, and he will be expected to make meritorious service and serve as a capital official in the future.
However, after passing the provincial examination, those who are proud and arrogant will naturally not be satisfied with being only a county official.
If you want to serve in the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or even the cabinet, it is absolutely impossible to have a juren background.
If you want to hold important positions above Yuanwailang in departments such as the Sixth Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is almost impossible without Jinshi status.
To hold the important positions of Minister of the Imperial Palace and the imperial censor or above, one must be a Jinshi, while the six ministries, the chief officer of the Imperial Academy, or even the cabinet, must be from the Hanlin Academy.
It can be said that those who can continue to study in Dongyuan basically want to go to Jinshi or even Shujishi, so naturally they will not take these junior juniors seriously.
Many of the people who studied in Dongyuan have experienced the experience and have some understanding of the six ministries of the court and some of the daily government of the state capital. That's why Qi Yongtai asked the students of Dongyuan to engage in such a teaching task.
"Two brothers, the chief just asked the younger brother to give a detailed explanation of the entire situation, and then find out the existing shortcomings and problems. Since the matter is serious, I dare not accept it easily. I only said that I will do my best. My writing skills are still poor. If some classmates help me, the first half of this can be done. As for the second half, I will use it as an example to study and judge. I think if we can do the first half of the work well and solidly, we will get some credit. If I mention my hard work to the Chief of Qishan and the Guanzhangyuan, will I get a chance?"
Feng Ziying knew that this matter would definitely involve the relationship between the East and West Gardens. Although Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen had the same general direction, they would definitely have their own views and ideas, and they would definitely have some differences on some matters involving the academy. Focus.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that Qi Yongtai attaches more importance to Xiyuan. After all, the students in Xiyuan will be Jinshi in the next step, while Dongyuan mainly aims at provincial examination candidates. Guan Yingzhen may value this aspect of training more.
For him, the next step is to pass the provincial examination, but once he passes the examination, he will be admitted to the Jinshi examination, and Qiao Yingjia recommended himself to Qi Yongtai, so that he can gain a firm foothold.
That's why he wanted to bring these two people in, and then use these two people to attract more Dongyuan students, and establish his position through this case analysis.
At the same time, he pulled these two people over and asked them to help him hold his head up. This could not only prevent Qi Yongtai from thinking that he was too provocative and cause discord with the West Park side, but also quickly integrate into the East Park group.
Feng Ziying's words immediately aroused the interest of Chen Qiyu and Fu Zonglong.
Fu Zonglong was even more enthusiastic: "Ziying, you are right. Now that we are going to do this case analysis, the mountain manager may not be happy, but if we explain the first half of it first, we will be more confident to propose it by then. , we can also try it,..."
"Not only can you give it a try, but you can do it in West Park, and we can do it here in East Park. We can even compare with those in East Park. Don't think that you are any better than anyone else just because you passed the provincial examination. , you will know whether it is a mule or a horse out for a walk!" Chen Qiyu also continued the topic proudly.
"A foot is shorter and an inch is longer. You can tell whether it is a mule or a horse by taking it for a walk. At the same time, you have to take it for a walk in different places to see the difference! Mountain roads and roads, grasslands and woods, who compares with who? It doesn't mean you are strong." Feng Ziying naturally joined the other party, "Senior Xiyuan, we should respect him, but learning has no precedence, and he who has mastered it is a teacher. When it comes to learning and discussion, I don't think we have to stick to the rules."
"What Ziying said is good!" Chen Qiyu praised it greatly, "We will discuss this matter carefully after we return, and we must have a good result."
