The hierarchical system in Daqian is very strict. Scholars, peasants, industry and merchants. Although merchants are rich, in terms of status, they are really not as good as ordinary farmers.
Don't look at the fact that the villagers in Bagong Village are now respectful to Gu Beichuan, it's because they have an interest dispute with Feihong, and Gu Beichuan is the one who pays them monthly money!
If they face other merchants, they probably don't have a good face.
What's more, if poor farmers start a lawsuit with businessmen.
In the government, let alone those who have some, the momentum of merchants must first be weakened by three points.
With such a low status, what's the use of earning so much money?
More importantly, class crossing must be achieved.
So how to achieve it?
Is it possible to go back to farming?
Absolutely impossible!
Naturally, he became an official through the imperial examination.
As long as they enter the official career, they are no longer merchants, but scholar-bureaucrats!
In this world, the first-class people are nobles and nobles.
The royal family of the Xiang clan is the greatest noble.
The next best thing is the king, prince, prince, son-in-law, etc.!
This world belongs to them!
Secondly, there are the scholar-bureaucrats.
Although the dynasty is noble, it also needs talents to help them govern. Correspondingly, the nobles will give talents corresponding identities and status.
Scholar-bureaucrats are such people.
Therefore, making the leap from businessman to scholar-bureaucrat is really a step to the sky!
For this reason, they did not hesitate to spend half of their family wealth to send their children to Gu Beichuan to study.
Why, isn’t it just for fame? Not today!
At this moment, after receiving Gu Beichuan's promise, they felt that it was worth it, everything was worth it.
As long as the children can be named on the gold medal list, let alone half of the family wealth, even if it is all, what will happen?
They are all old foxes who have been in the business world for decades. The business can be so big, so they naturally have their own connections and secrets.
Even if the family property is gone, nature can make a comeback.
But if this honor is gone, you may not be able to pass the exam again.
"You brat, you are still doing nothing in a daze. You haven't said goodbye to your teacher yet, so you went to Beijing to take the exam for your father."
After hearing this, Shen Liangfu knelt down in front of Gu Beichuan with a plop, his eyes were red, and after kowtowing, he said: "Student Shen Liangfu, thank you for your kindness in teaching and solving my doubts!"
Shen Liangfu is the student who has followed Gu Beichuan for the longest time and the student who has learned the most.
Without a mentor, it would be difficult for him to know that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
I don’t know that a real man is born between heaven and earth. He should establish his mind for heaven and earth, establish his destiny for the people, inherit his unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations.
It's not just for the sake of fame and fortune, it's not about reading the classics.
Without his mentor, it would have been even harder for him to know that besides studying, there was another way to rejuvenate the country through science and technology.
And my mentor has long been a pioneer on this path.
He and Gu Beichuan had not been masters and apprentices for a long time, only about half a year. However, Gu Beichuan had not been left behind despite the teachings and knowledge.
So when he kowtowed, he kowtowed sincerely.
Plop!
Just as Shen Liangfu's thoughts were racing, he heard another sound coming from his side.
I saw Zhen Renyi raise his head, his eyes were red and said: "Student Zhen Renyi, thank my teacher for teaching me and solving my doubts!"
"Student Chen Chuge, thank my mentor for teaching me and solving my doubts!"
"Student Zhou An, I would like to thank my teacher for teaching me and solving my doubts!"
"It has been a long time since the students passed away. I also hope that my teacher will take care of himself and wait until we meet again next year."
The scenes in front of him all fell into Gu Beichuan's eyes, making him feel a little sore in his nose.
Daqian worships the Lord of Heaven and Earth as his master, so once students become a disciple, they will serve him for life.
In the future, when you go out, you will be labeled as a certain student.
That's why Gu Xingwen always treated Shuixi as a teacher and refused to recognize him as his teacher.
But these disciples really treated him as a teacher.
If others don’t talk about it, just talk about Shen Liangfu.
Gu Beichuan vaguely remembered that he once forgot to prepare a heater during the cold winter months.
It was Shen Liangfu who lent him his heater.
From then on, whenever I came to Nanshan Residence for classes, I had to prepare two heaters in advance.
Gu Beichuan didn't say this in words, but he felt it in his heart.
There was also Zhen Renyi, who often brought him Jiangnan specialties.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.
When people treat each other sincerely, they can naturally tug at Gu Beichuan's heartstrings.
Now that I see this scene, I feel really reluctant to give up.
So he had no choice but to turn around and harden his heart: "Just go, go, don't be nagging."
"Student resigned."
…
Qiandu, Tianganyuan.
Tufu's Mansion.
The fourth and third prince of the Yang family, the head of the family, Yang Huai, was the Taifu of the dynasty, ranking above the three princes!
How prominent is such a lintel!
It can be said that any descendant of the Yang family must have a smooth official career.
At this moment, a young man pushed the door open and entered the Taifu's mansion.
At one glance, he saw Yang Huai sitting on the Grand Master's chair. He immediately saluted respectfully and said, "Shao, I've met my uncle."
"You prepare a few things. When spring is over, you will take up the post of offering wine to the Imperial Academy."
"Isn't that Hu Yan's position in the Imperial College?"
"It used to be, but soon it won't be anymore."
"But uncle, didn't you say before that the Yang family is under His Majesty's suspicion, and in recent days, the younger members of the family should avoid getting into trouble and act cautiously?"
"Why did you get such an official position for Shao again?"
"This time is not that time."
"Do you know Zhang Lang?"
"The current imperial captain, one of the three princes, naturally knows about it, but... he is just an eunuch, nothing like that."
"He is nothing. He doesn't have enough heart, courage, or ability."
"But, have you ever thought about how such a eunuch could achieve the position of Taiwei?"
Yang Shao frowned when he heard this. After a long time, he tentatively asked: "Could it be your Majesty?"
"Yes, he is His Majesty's eyes above the court!"
"Over the years, my Yang family has grown in power, so Your Majesty promoted Wei Qing just to suppress my Yang family."
"It's a pity that Wei Qing is a rigid man and doesn't know how to adapt. How can he defeat us with only the position of prime minister?"
"So His Majesty supported Zhang Lang again?"
"good!"
"But in this case, logically speaking, Wei Qing and Zhang Lang should be allies. But why did Zhang Lang speak for his uncle at the meeting this morning?"
"You are wrong. Wei Qing is the prime minister. What he wants to do is to create a prosperous age and give the people a place to live and work in peace and contentment."
"Zhang Lang is His Majesty's eyes. What is Your Majesty thinking about? The Northern Expedition! Naturally, it will cost the people and money."
"When my Yang family is here, they can be allies. If my Yang family is no longer here, haha..."
"What about this time?"
"In recent years, Hu Yan has become too popular and Wei Qing's lineage has gradually grown. Your Majesty is also afraid that the tail will be too big to fall off, so he just gave it a little beating."
"Shao'er, remember, your majesty has great talent and great strategy, and he is a hero that is rare to see in a hundred years."
"Being with such a hero is both a good thing and a bad thing."
"The emperor's mind is the most important thing is balance."
"As long as there is a balance in the court, Your Majesty can go on the Northern Expedition with peace of mind, and our Yang family will be safe."
"If the balance is broken, everything will stop when His Majesty takes action."
"My nephew understands. After taking office as the Imperial Academy, he will be careful in his words and deeds so as not to cause any trouble to the family."
