Goose Three Kingdoms

Chapter 662: Zhongda is here
Chang'an University, South Suburb, Seed Hall.

Sima Yi and his friend walked slowly in the corridor, the walls of which were made of flat, spliced ​​wooden boards.

There are words and drawings on it, and the maps of animal and plant breeding, hybridization and backcrossing are clearly laid out before you.

For many families who have been raising horses for generations, or for wealthy people, this is the secret of passing down family heritage and making a fortune.

At this moment, it is announced to the public so openly. Some of them have been confirmed, some are just theories, and some are even just guesses.

Sima Yi was a gloomy and serious man. He had experienced turmoil since his youth and had seen many joys and sorrows.

So when he saw these pictures, he began to guess the unknown side of Chen Qun.

He guessed that Chen Qun would definitely not be satisfied with planting in the fields and improving varieties in the animal pen, but if he used humans to conduct experiments, it would be costly and time-consuming.

Chen Qun doesn’t have the time and cost, but what about the shogunate?

What about the common surnames in different places?
Even if the major surnames in various places cannot improve the superiority and inferiority of their castes on a large scale, they can try it on a small scale through intermarriage.

Even Sima Yi began to worry about his own safety. He was over eight feet tall, had a strong build, and came from a noble family, so it was indeed very risky for him to travel outside.

While strolling around, I suddenly saw a few scholars passing by with rolls of paper, and some were holding brushes and paste.

Noticing that the surrounding scholars were gathering towards the gate, Sima Yi also followed over.

I saw these scholars applying glue and posting papers on the billboard.

The first one is the "Order for Selecting Talents Only", the second one is a copied court bulletin, and the next one is titled "Rules for Entry into the Academy".

The "Only Talented Are Selected" order is only a hundred words long and occupies a very small space, but it is very eye-catching even in Jin Jianshu.

Sima Yi did not need to stand on tiptoe, he could just stand in the crowd and look up to see the content clearly. The document was to let the lower classes recommend people with special skills in order to enrich various academies and thus cultivate more talents.

Sima Yi was not very interested in this. As a famous family in Henei County under the rule of the Grand Sima, he had been waiting for a special recruitment.

If he couldn't wait, he would return to Hanoi before the spring ploughing and serve in a county.

Given his starting point, it was normal for him to start his career as a county official, a clerk, or a chief clerk. As for the county's recruitment, he politely declined.

He is not short of money, so he can work for a few years and then be promoted to an honest official.

In Sima Yi's eyes, county officials were not even considered as official servants, but were just playing around at home.

Coming to the central government is called serving as an official.

Sima Yi then went to read the "Rules for Entry into the Academy", the content of which was also simple, which was to add examinations. A scholar could only be enrolled in one academy at a time and then be listed on the school's walls.

Only after graduation can one be permanently enrolled in the school and can also enroll in other schools.

If you change your career midway, you will need a letter from the director to transfer to another academy.

Once you are admitted to a school, you will be subject to the school's management. If you break the law or violate discipline, the school will be implicated.

Similarly, after graduation, one can be recommended by the school to serve as an official.

As for the scholars who come to listen to the lectures without being included in the school, they are free to come and go and have no affiliation with the academy, and the academy is not allowed to recommend or suppress them.

After Sima Yi saw it, he felt that it should have been done long ago.

But he didn't want to go to another school. He came here because this was the only new school he could get in touch with.

Huang Yueying's Gewuguan basically did not recruit outsiders or newcomers. People like him who had just arrived in Guanzhong could not squeeze in at all.

The school that Zhang Song was in charge of also focused on new learning, but the people of Shu were fond of immortals, and Sima Yi thought it was a chaotic and chaotic place and not a good place to be.

In addition, there are two new schools of thought. One is a Taoist boy recruited from various places, but his Sima family is not a believer, and has no merit or contribution.

There is no upper age limit for Taoist children, but this is obviously not suitable for him.

The other one is the Qinghua Guard. Apparently Sima Yi’s age is too high, and given his family background, he cannot pass the assessment.

Poor family is a red line, and children from poor families with rich families and strong ethnic backgrounds cannot pass the assessment.

Just as Sima Yi was thinking about the way forward, Chen Qun was in a daze, holding a silk book in his hand in the hall.

After regaining his senses, he stuffed the silk book into the fire. It instantly turned into ashes and flew away along the chimney, leaving no trace.

He turned around and said to his nephew Chen Zuo standing beside him: "Your father thinks too highly of me. The Grand Marshal attaches great importance to the selection of Qinghua Guards. My family is very high-ranking and I have my own career. Why should I compete with the common people?" "I am willing to listen to my uncle's arrangements."

Chen Zuo was only eight years old and had recently left his hometown in Yingchuan. He went to Daidi via Hebei to live with his father and then went to Guanzhong.

The scholars of Yan and Yu states began a new round of migration and escape. Those who stayed behind were basically real wealthy families who had built fortresses.

Even a truly powerful family would split up into brothers and sisters and flee to other places.

Chen Qun had no choice. He didn't expect that his cousin was still thinking of sending his son to Qinghuawei.

Not to mention being a Qinghua Guard, even being a Taoist child is impossible; unless one is a Taoist child of the Tianshi Dao.

Taoist priests who preach the Dao basically do not deal with families with an official rank of more than 300 stones, and will not accept their children as Taoist children.

Even if he has been recruited as a Taoist child, he will be dismissed if his father or brother is promoted.

This basically eliminated the possibility of high-ranking officials and local officials joining the Taiping Dao, and they were considered to be two different routes.

Looking at his well-behaved cousin, Chen Qun was helpless. He was unmarried and childless. If he was unlucky, he would eventually have to adopt a son from his cousin.

But Chen Zuo was the eldest son, so it was impossible for him to be adopted by him.

After thinking for a while, Chen Qun said, "You should live in the hall for the time being and recuperate first. Around the end of February next year, the Grand Marshal will open a primary school, and we will send you there then."

"Uncle, how does the elementary school compare to the Tongzi School?"

Tongzixue was affiliated with Taixue, and students were selected from the children of officials through examinations, and they could directly enter Taixue in the future.

"It's not as good as a Tongzi School, but its scale is much larger than a Tongzi School. As far as I know, more than 15,000 Qinghua guards will be assigned to various counties to set up 3,000 primary schools."

Seeing that Chen Zuo had no intuitive understanding of these data, Chen Qun just laughed at himself. If this happened three years ago, he would not have dared to believe it.

After seeing steam cars, flying lanterns, and riding on steam battleships, he had become numb.

The ideological impact brought about by the development of the times is reshaping Chen Qun's three views.

He packed up his work books, put them in a suitcase and took them with him. He said to Chen Zuo, "You are new in Guanzhong and don't have much luggage. Come with me to the market to buy some clothes."

"Here."

Chen Zuo only had a general impression of his uncle and did not dare to be too presumptuous.

He followed her out of the door obediently. When they reached the corridor stairs, Chen Qun said to the guards standing guard, "Prepare the carriage. I want to take my nephew to the market to buy some clothes, hats, shoes and socks, as well as some books and writing materials."

"Here."

The two guards bowed, one hurried downstairs to prepare the carriage, and the other followed behind Chen Qun.

Chen Qun was equipped with five guards here. After all, he was a Guannei Marquis with a fief of 200 households, and the things he was researching were confidential.

Pea hybridization is not a secret. The real secret is the hybridization data of various horses.

But it's just the beginning. As the work progresses, the scale of his protection will become larger and larger.

Even when going to the nearby market, they needed two carriages and two riders.

Chen Qun, his nephew, and the charioteer's servant shared one carriage; three guards shared another carriage, along with two knights.

There were two heavy infantrymen in the carriage used by the guards.

In the case of the university town, these two heavy infantrymen can withstand a dozen assassins without armor or crossbows.

As for Sima Yi who came to the Breeding Academy these days... Although Sima Lang wrote to ask him to take care of him, Chen Qun really couldn't take care of both.

Instead, I hope Sima Yi will stay away from me for a few days and stay as far away from me as possible.

Only Chen Qun himself knew how much injustice and torture he had suffered to get the opportunity to serve the shogunate.

Even the marriage has been delayed for fear of being implicated by a stupid guy.

And his cousin is his only remaining relative... Let him be implicated. Anyway, he is alone and there is nothing to regret.
