My wife is a sword god.

Chapter 425

In Liuyuan Street, Fengtian City, a place where common people live, a man's scolding came from a simple house: "Why didn't you go to the academy today?"

A young man replied weakly: "I won't study in the future, I want to set up a stall with Dad."

The crisp applause sounded in an instant, and the man hated iron and steel, and said: "Who is Master Qin, it is a blessing you have cultivated in several lifetimes to learn from him, and you dare to skip class for me?

Regarding the stall, I need your help?If you can study hard with Master Qin and step into the literary sage lineage, it's better than anything else!
Tomorrow, I will apologize to Teacher Qin, and then I will learn from Lao Tzu. Do you understand? "

"I won't go." The boy replied stubbornly.

Hearing this, the man was furious, he looked around, picked up the feather duster from the corner of the room, pointed at the young man and shouted: "Tell me again, are you going or not?"

The boy knelt on the ground, lowered his head, pinched his thighs with his hands, and his body trembled slightly.

It wasn't because he was afraid of his father's angry punishment, but because he wanted to cry because he was wronged.

"No." The young man remained firm.

Snapped!
The feather duster landed on the boy, and just by the sound, he knew it must be very painful.

But the young man gritted his teeth tightly and didn't say a word, he just endured silently.

Seeing this, the man shook the feather duster in his hand again and again, and cursed angrily: "It's okay if you don't like it outside, but you still don't live up to it when you come back.

At the beginning, you were unwilling to let you learn martial arts because you were trying to sell everything. You said you wanted to study.

Okay, if you want to study, Lao Tzu tells you to study. Those bastards in the Imperial Prison don’t treat ordinary people as human beings, so you can still bear to go there to study in the middle of the night every day.

Now that Master Qin has established the Humble Family Academy to give you a place where you can study at ease, you are fine, why don't you want to go there? "

Maybe it was because of resentment, or maybe it was because of disheartened heart, the man didn't care how serious he was.

The scars and blood stains on the boy's body even penetrated his clothes.

The woman at the side couldn't bear to look any longer, she hurriedly stopped the man, and then protected the boy with distress: "Stop beating, stop beating!"

"Get out of the way, I will kill this bastard today!" The man was furious.

While protecting the young man with her body, the woman asked with red eyes: "Zhi'er, don't you like Master Qin and the humble academy the most? Why don't you want to go all of a sudden, but what are your reasons?"

This young man is Han Zhi, the first batch of students who entered the humble academy when he left the Imperial College, and he is also the one who has the deepest affection for the academy.

The man panted and scolded angrily: "What difficulties does this bastard have, he is obviously afraid of suffering. I see that he wants to study, but I am just talking."

These words stung Han Zhi's heart. He raised his head and his eyes were red, as if to vent his grievances. He almost shouted: "Because I don't want to see those people go to Daddy's shop to make trouble again, they don't You just don't want me to go to the Humble Academy?
I know all these things."

The man was taken aback when he heard the words, and the feather duster slipped from his hands. The anger on his face gradually subsided, and his expression became complicated: "Did your mother tell you?"

The woman shook her head and looked at the boy suspiciously.

Han Zhi replied: "Zhu Zi told me that when he left the Humble Academy, I asked him why.

Then I went outside my father's stall and saw those officials making things difficult for my father.

Zhuzi said that as long as he leaves the humble academy, those officials will never come again. "

Hearing this, the man didn't know what to say. The reason why he kept this secret was that he hoped that the child would study hard, step into the literary sage lineage as soon as possible, and have a way to settle down in this world.

But after all, paper cannot contain fire.

"It's useless if it's dad." The man slammed his right fist at the wall beside him. Naturally, the wall was fine, but blood dripped from the skin of the man's right hand.

Han Zhi hurriedly stood up and comforted him, "Father, actually, it's not entirely because of this reason that I left the Humble Academy.

I have also thought about it carefully, even if I can step into the ninth grade of literary sage through reading, a low-grade literary sage is just a weak scholar after all.

And it is impossible to predict which level of cultivation I will be able to reach in the future.

That being the case, why not help you, subsidize your family, and learn a way of making a living earlier. "

"Zhi'er, do you really think so?" the woman asked.

Han Zhi nodded, biting his lips tightly, because he was afraid of tears falling down.

"Senior Brother Yang already knew the reason, why didn't he tell me earlier?" By the window outside the house, Qin Feng clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his anger.

Yang Qian who was on the side replied: "So what if I tell you? Get rid of those officials who made things difficult? Let the students return to the humble academy?"

"Naturally!"

Yang Qian denied: "Even if you get rid of this group of officials, there will be other officials."

"Then find out the people behind the scenes and solve the problem fundamentally." Qin Feng said in a deep voice.

Yang Qian shook his head: "I might as well tell you directly that the person who made these officials make things difficult for the students was the county magistrate here, and the county magistrate came from the Imperial College of the Haowen Academy.

In the Imperial College, there are many people who don't like the humble academy. Do you still want to fight against the entire Imperial College? "

Hearing this, Qin Feng's heart sank. Confronting the Imperial College is also the opposite of confronting most of the officialdom.

After all, in today's court, most of the officials climbed up from the Guozijian.

"Take a step back, even if no one makes things difficult for these students, they will definitely continue to study?
You also heard what Han Zhi said. From this incident, he has already seen the future of the poor scholars.

I told you last time that as long as the problem of nowhere to study is not resolved, it is only a matter of time before the students leave. "

Qin Feng opened his mouth, his anger was quenched by a deep sense of powerlessness, how could he not know this truth?
Let ordinary people have books to read, and let literati and Taoists spread all over the world. After all, it is just an ideal.

But there is an insurmountable gap between ideal and reality.

For ordinary people, survival is the top priority. If there is no hope for what they are currently working on, why is there any need to continue?

Just a waste of time.

"Senior Brother Yang, is it true that the humble scholars really have no future?" Qin Feng raised a question in his heart.

Yang Qian sighed: "Junior Brother Fei and I have thought about this question for a long time, but in the end I became a literati who sat in the Ascending Tower all day and only cared about reading sage books.

And Junior Brother Fei also completely looked away, no longer thinking about stepping into the court to change the world.

It's not that the two of us don't want to, but that we are powerless.

Unless the official selection system of Dagan is changed, poor scholars are doomed to have no future.

However, the idea of ​​cronyism and the appointment of officials as powerful has long been ingrained. It is not easy to change? "

"Official selection system" Qin Feng fell into deep thinking.
