Wang Yawei said quickly: "We are all here. I will arrange to wait for you in the private room on the second floor."
Zhang Yuhang nodded and walked straight up.
When we came to the private room, this room was large enough to accommodate the eight people, and it was also exceptionally spacious.
Seeing Zhang Yuhang arriving, everyone stood up and saluted.
"I've met the Governor."
They are just some unpopular children from poor families in the academy, and some are even commoners. They know that it is the invitation from the governor of Jiantiansi, no matter what they think in their hearts, they can refuse.
Zhang Yuhang smiled: "There is no need to be polite, we are all almost the same age, we just treat each other as equals and can speak freely."
After Zhang Yuhang sat down, everyone also sat down one by one.
"I wonder what Brother Zhang wants to do with us people?"
Ning Zhiyuan asked immediately after sitting down. At this moment, there was a trace of expectation and a trace of melancholy in his eyes.
He never thought that the man he had met once before, and even invited him to drink, would be Zhang Yuhang, who has been the most popular person in Kyoto recently. This is really a trick of fate.
"Brother Ning is in good spirits today. Didn't you go out for a drink last night?" Zhang Yuhang first smiled, greeted, and then looked at the crowd and said, "I believe this is not only what Brother Ning wants to know, but you may also be curious. .”
"I hope Brother Zhang can speak frankly."
Everyone handed over, they had guesses, but no one dared to be sure until the last moment.
"Okay, since you are so forthcoming, I won't hide it." Zhang Yuhang stood up and spoke generously: "You are all students of Qianqian, and you are all people with great ambitions.
But ask yourselves, given the current situation, with your own abilities and backgrounds, who can really become an official in the court, govern the party, and show what they have learned?
The aristocratic family controls the court, and they have the final say on who will serve as officials. No matter how hard you try, when will you be able to get ahead? Aren't you going to eat the leftovers left by the family by then?
Han Chuang has studied hard for decades just to be a dog for a wealthy family? Your ancestors were once wealthy, is this what you pursue? "
Every word Zhang Yuhang said seemed to be a sharp sword piercing their hearts, but it left them speechless.
The aristocratic family, this is a stubborn disease for the Zhou Dynasty, but for ordinary people and poor families, it is an insurmountable chasm.
"We don't want to either, but what can we do?"
"You think we have it easy. We have no background and no background. Even in the academy, we are at the lowest level. Those children from wealthy families have no knowledge and no ideas, but they can still get good opportunities and become officials. It's easy for them to get official.
But for us, we can only stay in the academy, waiting for the master to give us a good comment, and wait for the aristocratic family to take a fancy, so that we can have such an opportunity. Do you think we are used to it, and we are happy? But what can we do? "
The more this person talked, the more excited he became, and it seemed that he could hardly control himself: "There are many people behind us. We have the expectations of our parents and the expectations of our tribe. We also want to show our ambitions, but the reality has taught us to only be patient and accept whatever comes our way." , because we don’t have any cost of trial and error.
They can lose a hundred times, a thousand times, and no matter what, there are still people who will protect them, but as for us, if we lose once, we will be doomed. How can we be willing to do so, but how can we not be willing to do so? "
Listening to this person's words, Zhang Yuhang's face was very dull, "Li Lu, twenty-one years old, was originally the descendant of the Li clan in the north. In the sixth year of Jingping, the Wei State invaded the northern territory. Countless soldiers died on the battlefield and the city was destroyed. , the Li family was affected.
Afterwards, he rushed thousands of miles to Kyoto. Although many people survived, the glory of the Li family was no longer there, his property was destroyed, and he had to rely on others in Kyoto.
At the end of the same year, he was tricked by the Xue family in Kyoto and lost all his money. The people belonging to the Li family had no choice but to disperse to various places to make a living. From a child of an aristocratic family to a leader of a poor family today, you are still outstanding, but your situation is completely different. "
Li Lu looked at Zhang Yuhang in surprise, "You..."
"What's so surprising about this?" Zhang Yuhang said with a smile: "Don't forget my identity. Don't check your information too easily. Not only you, but everyone who can sit here today, I have investigated it, maybe even more than You all have to understand yourselves.”
Ning Zhiyuan stood up: "Brother Zhang, let's be honest, what do you want to do?"
"It's very simple. All of you are people who are unwilling to settle for the ordinary. It is almost impossible for you to make a difference on your own, so..."
Zhang Yuhang said calmly: "I can give you the opportunity to become officials as soon as possible. You can show off what you have learned. It is not impossible to be successful or to restore the glory of the family."
When everyone heard this, their eyes flashed with golden light, but they still asked: "I'm afraid it won't be that simple. What price do we need to pay?"
"Price?" Zhang Yuhang said, "You don't need to pay any price. You just need to remember eight words?"
"Those eight words?"
"Government is for the people and law enforcement is for the public."
"As long as you can keep these things in mind, I will give you the opportunity to serve as an official. However, if you end up colluding with the aristocratic family, taking bribes, bending the law, and acting recklessly, then I can guarantee that no matter what others do, you guys will not be able to join the ranks. Death will be a luxury."
Zhang Yuhang knew very well that it was impossible for everyone to stick to the current bottom line. Some of these people would definitely become prisoners of the family for profit or other things in the future.
But even if he knows this will happen, he must do it, because only after being tested in practice can he know what he should do in the future.
These are must-dos and must-try things.
Even if it is tuition fees, you still have to pay what is due.
"It's that simple?"
Everyone was dumbfounded and looked at Zhang Yuhang in disbelief.
"Simple?" Zhang Yuhang chuckled and said: "Once you become an official through my relationship, you will be marked with the symbol of Supervisor Tiansi. You should also have an idea of what the current Supervisor Tiansi looks like in the eyes of the family. "
"Your family members and you yourself will be affected in various ways. There is no doubt that this is unavoidable."
"But I can also give you protection. I will do my best to protect you and give you a stage to display your abilities, because behind you is not only me, but also His Majesty.
As long as you can make achievements, no one will treat you unfairly. For you now, this choice is a matter of danger and opportunity. You may think of heaven or hell. How you choose depends on you. "
"But I remind you, if you don't even have this bit of courage, then don't think about anything else in the future. This world is not black and white. If you don't have enough strength, you will still swallow all your unwillingness. Go inside.
Wait with peace of mind for the family to reward you with a few bones in the future. At least this way, you can still live. "
Now, Zhang Yuhang has told everything about himself and is waiting for their decision.
