Although the Miscellaneous Academy outside Langyuan City is not as lively as it was some time ago, it has barely returned to the peace and quiet of the past, but that is only quiet on the surface.
"Lao Luo, hey, no one is willing to come. It sounds nice, but in fact they just covet our knowledge and skills, but they are jealous of our identity. Those who are two-faced are all shameless people!"
"It's the same here. I went to all the places I knew before and had good friendships with. I was told clearly that if you need financial assistance, we can only find students. If they don't help, we can't help. . He also told me not to work in vain, asserting that we can’t find anyone like this.”
"Oh? Are you sure we can't recruit students? Can you tell us why?"
"Yes, and I think what they said makes sense. It is also a big issue that we have ignored before."
"Tell me."
"Miscellaneous scholars cannot enter the official career!"
As soon as these last words were spoken, everyone in the room fell silent. Including Luo Changshan, everyone's eyes flashed with clarity that solved their confusion.
"You're so careless!"
"Is this a blinder?"
All of you here are smart people. Many things may be missed due to some obsessions or inertial perceptions. Now, after hitting the wall every time, and being awakened by others, how can I still not understand?
Knowledge is good knowledge, and many people are willing to learn it. But being willing to learn does not mean that you are willing to put yourself in the status of miscellaneous studies. Because this will involve paying a huge price that others are unwilling to pay and feel it is a loss. Just "not entering the official career" is enough to make 99% of the scholars in Nanyuan Kingdom stay away from the identity of the miscellaneous scholars.
what to do?
Understanding and awakening to the causes of difficulty does not mean that you can immediately think of solutions. After all, "the miscellaneous scholar will not enter the official career" is not a problem that can be solved by just a few words from the miscellaneous scholar lineage. The things involved can be said to be related to the power infrastructure of the Nanyuan Kingdom. How difficult is it to change?
Several people thought about it for a long time without any thoughts. Finally, someone suggested that Luo Changshan go find Zhang Yan and listen to Zhang Yan's opinion. After all, compared to people like them who have always been dull and academic, Zhang Yan's vision and thinking are different, and he might be able to give some opinions.
Luo Changshan thought for a while and nodded in agreement. There was no delay. Zhang Yan happened to be teaching in the small courtyard at the back at this time. He made time to go there and caught up with Zhang Yan when he was finishing his classes.
It should be said that the small courtyard where Zhang Yan is located is very special in the miscellaneous academy. The special thing is that no one else can enter at all. Apparently the stone road is clear and clear, but after taking a few steps, you will find that you have been standing still at the intersection. Unless Zhang Yan finishes his studies, this strange situation will continue.
Mysterious and arousing people's curiosity. But if Zhang Yan doesn't say anything, who can get clues from him? Nowadays, the miscellaneous school lineage still relies on his influence to build the academy. If Zhang Yan withdraws at this time, 90% of the people in the academy will be difficult to survive.
Therefore, Zhang Yan's weirdness has become something that everyone in the Miscellaneous Academy has tacitly avoided talking about.
Furthermore, "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic" has already been published by Zhang Yan. What more can the miscellaneous scholars ask for? Even Luo Changshan always felt in his heart that Zhang Yan didn't care about the knowledge and situation of the Zaxue lineage. He seemed to care more about the identity of a Zaxue lineage, as if... putting a layer of disguise on himself. Skin?
Especially after Zhang Yan showed his extraordinary killing methods a few months ago, this feeling became even more prominent in Luo Changshan's heart.
Therefore, Luo Changshan was not sure how to locate Zhang Yan's identity.
"Senior Luo, why are you free to come to my side today? Please come in quickly." Zhang Yan welcomed Luo Changshan in with a smile. His behavior was no different from before. The etiquette is not bad at all.
The two sensible little kids hurriedly brought some cold drinks to Luo Changshan, then bowed and jumped outside to play. The classroom was left to two adults.
"Mr. Zhang, I have discussed some complicated issues with my husband about the birth of the miscellaneous studies lineage before, but we did not discuss it in depth. Especially in terms of recruiting students, I did not listen to your husband's opinions more. Now it seems that I The previous plan no longer works..."
Luo Changshan spoke eloquently, and the key point to talk about is the current difficulties of the miscellaneous studies. He didn't expect Zhang Yan to solve this problem immediately, because that itself was unrealistic. But I also hope that I can get some ideas and directions from Zhang Yan that can solve the problem. After all, Zhang Yan's mind is much smarter in this regard than theirs.
Zhang Yan listened carefully, but he was not surprised at all. It was all expected. It was expected that Luo Changshan and the others would hit a wall before. Now the reaction is actually not too slow.
But it’s easier said than done!
"What? Is there anything you can't say, Mr. Zhang?" Luo Changshan saw that Zhang Yan was hesitant and speechless. It didn't look like he had no clue, but he seemed to be hesitating to speak.
"No, it's not that it's inconvenient to say it, but I'm just thinking about how to say it to make it easier for Senior Luo to accept it."
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang is worrying too much. Although I am old, my mind is not pedantic. In addition, this is a major matter in the field of miscellaneous studies. No matter what method, as long as it is useful, I will seriously consider it."
Zhang Yan smiled. Secretly, Luo Changshan is indeed not pedantic, but sometimes he is very stubborn.
"Senior Luo. You also know that this kind of difficulty cannot be solved overnight. What is needed is subtlety. So there is no need to rush.
If you think about it slowly, there are two ways to go in parallel. "
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details!" Luo Changshan didn't expect that Zhang Yan would not only solve the big problem that stuck them, but also have two ways? !
"First, as I mentioned to my seniors last time, you can recruit some children who are in elementary school or before elementary school. It will be a little troublesome. And don't focus on the universities in the city. You should go to small schools outside the city or even in remote places. School. Most of the children there want to be shopkeepers or do some decent work. They have never thought about entering an official career, so naturally they are not attracted by the mainstream schools of thought.
Even those remote places are places where the power of mainstream schools is weak. If the general education group is willing to spend money, they can always send people to build elementary schools locally at their own expense. You will definitely see the benefits over time.
The second is to open up areas that mainstream schools of thought cannot penetrate. For example...the military! Using the extensive knowledge unique to the miscellany lineage, we can concentrate on specific tasks, such as ordnance research, or even regularly send scientists to conduct on-the-spot inspections in the military. Treat ordnance and even the chores in the army as knowledge.
As long as it works. Then can there be an additional position in the military that can only be filled by those who belong to the miscellaneous school lineage? Does this count as opening up a closed situation in the official career? "
