After explaining the family affairs, the couple had some tenderness. After saying goodbye, Wei Chen went out to the Hanlin Academy.
Nowadays, Wei Chen's most important job is to teach the common people in the common hall.
Generally speaking, Shuji scholars have to study in the Shuchang Hall for three years. After three years, those who pass the exam will stay in the Hall and become Hanlin, while those who fail will leave the Hall and be awarded officials.
Needless to say, it goes without saying that you can stay in the Imperial Academy and become an Imperial Academy. Even if you are disbanded and awarded officials, you will still be the head of the Six Departments, and your future will not be any worse.
As for whether Shujishi's performance in the Shuchang Hall in the past three years is up to standard, and whether he is qualified to stay in the hall, the power of evaluation lies in the hands of Wei Chen, who is the instructor.
Wei Chen can decide whether Shu Jishi will stay in the library or leave the library after three years based on his usual grades in the library.
Of course, if there are extremely outstanding people among this group of common people, Wei Chen can also end their studies in the common hall early and promote them to the Imperial Academy.
Sheng Changbai and Wang Yaochen were favored by the then Shujishi instructors, and were promoted from Shujishi to Hanlin editors more than a year in advance.
After one-on-one conversations on the first day of taking office, Wei Chen already had a preliminary understanding of the thirty-six people under his command, and he also spotted several of them with considerable potential.
But after all, the time we spent together was too short, and Wei Chen didn't want to make such a hasty decision yet. Instead, he planned to teach library classes for a period of time first, and then decide based on the specific situation.
The so-called hall classes are the courses that shuji scholars study in the common hall.
When Wei Chen took office as a new official, he didn't understand many things, so he humbly asked for advice from several former masters of the Common Hall, who were his assistants.
After asking for advice, he realized that although the daily classes in the Common Hall seemed to be fully scheduled, the content was mainly poetry and the like.
Wei Chen suddenly felt dissatisfied.
I studied poetry and prose before the scientific examination, and I continued to study poetry and prose after the scientific examination. I studied and studied again and again, but I always just learned this little thing, and I didn't acquire any ability to do things.
Couldn't this common manor house, which is the official reserve of talents for the country, only educate a group of rotten scholars who only talk empty talk and harm the country?
In the afternoon of that day, Wei Chen went to Liu Tingxi, the president of the academy, and told him the pros and cons. He hoped that the Hanlin Academy could change the content of the common curriculum and pay attention to the teaching of Shuji scholars' practical knowledge in the world.
After hearing this, Liu Tingxi immediately expressed his support for Wei Chen and wrote a note in person to hand it over. Soon after, he received Longtuge's approval of the matter.
An unreasonable rule has been continued for so many years. There is a reason behind it. Even if it is only slightly changed, it will encounter a lot of resistance.
The reason why Wei Chen did it so easily this time was, firstly, because Liu Tingxi, the head of the Hanlin Academy, was his mentor and took great care of Wei Chen, and secondly, because Wei Chen had the big tree of Han Zhang as his back.
Han Zhang has always valued Wei Chen.
Judging from Wei Chen's current age, demonstrated abilities, and status, he is almost destined to join the cabinet and serve as prime minister in the future, and he will be in power for at least ten or twenty years.
Moreover, the age gap between Wei Chen and Han Zhang is too big, and it is completely impossible for him to have any competitive relationship with Han Zhang.
No matter how quickly Wei Chen was promoted, by the time he entered the cabinet, Han Zhang would probably have already aged and withdrawn from the political stage.
Such an upstart officialdom was willing to move closer to him, so Han Zhang could not refuse.
Even though Han Zhang had already passed away when Wei Chen actually came to power, his family was still there, and his descendants were still there, and Wei Chen would be indispensable to take care of him in the future.
Moreover, for the chief minister of Longtuge, whose actual power was no less than that of the prime minister, such a trivial matter as changing the content of the regular classes was not worth mentioning, so Han Zhang easily did it for Wei Chen.
With the support of the chief minister of Longtuge and the head of the Hanlin Academy, Wei Chen was determined and soon carried out drastic reforms in the curriculum content of the Common Hall.
First of all, Wei Chen drastically reduced the proportion of poetry in library classes. Those who can enter the General Hall are the best among the Jinshi. They have passed the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and passed the test. They are definitely not bad in poetry and prose. There is really no need to focus on this.
Secondly, Wei Chen opened a special class to lead the scholars to study the memorials of famous officials and official documents of the past dynasties, and learn from them the principles of governing the world.
In addition, Wei Chen also added many official mottos to the library textbooks.
In fact, when scholars in the Dazhou Dynasty became officials, they did not go to the office with a blind eye. Instead, they had special official books as guidance.
"State and County Outline", "County Governance Law", "Hundred Officials' Proverbs", "Introduction to Day Curtain", "Three Advices", "Reporting Things for Good Government", "Records of Practical Government"...
These books are rich in content and have detailed explanations on various aspects such as laws, litigation, prisons, calendars, disaster management, anti-theft, agricultural affairs, etc. As long as you act as an official honestly according to the books, you can benefit a party.
Wei Chen did not just take these official admonitions and read them from the book, but combined his own personal insights since becoming an official to explain the ways of being an official to the common people in simple and easy-to-understand terms.
Of course, Wei Chen would definitely bring in a lot of personal information while teaching.
These days, besides teaching Shujishi, Wei Chen is busy moving house for Zhuang Jun.
While he was resting, Wei Chen personally went to Jiying Lane and asked Zhuang Jun to move to Wei's house so that he could fulfill his filial piety.
Zhuang Jun was actually unwilling to move. He was used to living alone in the first half of his life and never wanted to trouble anyone.
But after all, we have been together with Wei Chen day and night for so many years, and the relationship between teacher and student is not so easy to let go.
After Wei Chen's repeated pleas, Zhuang Jun finally agreed to move. He only had a few luggage and an old servant with him, but the collection of books in the study could fill two large cars.
Most of these books are rare ancient books, which were collected by Zhuang Jun throughout his life.
In Zhuang Jun's own words, he has been wandering all his life and has nothing to gain. When he is a hundred years from now, the only thing he can leave to Wei Chen, a closed disciple, is these books.
That night, Zhuang Jun moved to a side courtyard to the west of Wei's house and settled down.
During this period, Ru Lan and Ming Lan contributed a lot, sweeping the courtyard, arranging servants, etc., they all did it themselves.
In fact, Rulan and Minglan were also the people in the Wei family who welcomed Zhuang Jun's arrival the most.
Before they got married, Wang Ruofu and Wei Shuyi often told their daughters that the Wei family had a small population and no elders to support. After they got married, they didn't need to think about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and could directly take charge of the family. It was really comfortable and leisurely.
But after marrying into the Wei family, Rulan and Minglan truly realized what it means to have an elder in a family, like having a treasure.
If there was an elder in the family who was in charge, how could Wei Chen dare to be so arrogant?
Now that Mr. Zhuang is here, the Wei family will be at peace! The blue sky is there!
Facts have also proved that since Zhuang Jun moved into Wei's house, Wei Chen has behaved much more restrained than before. Not only has he resumed the shift system, but sometimes he comes back late and will take the initiative to sleep in the study so as not to disturb the sleeping Ru Lan. and Minglan.
Of course, Wei Chen is not always so abiding by the rules. Occasionally, when the mood strikes, he will still drag sisters Ru Lan and Ming Lan together to have a good time together.
Although this is not the first time, this kind of thing is still very embarrassing for the thin-skinned Rulan and Minglan.
But after all, it was only a few times a month, which was better than doing it every day as they had worried before. Thinking about it this way, it was barely acceptable.
The days passed so calmly...
