Chapter 981

Qiushou.

In a certain sense, it's actually going through the motions to let the people of the work department and the etiquette department know what students have learned in your year.

The main thing is to get out the outstanding disciples in the academy and meet the people in these two departments first.

To put it bluntly, let the people of the Ministry of work and the Ministry of officials first record the top talents in their small books, and then report them to the emperor. After the imperial examination three years later, the emperor will personally spot check these people's test papers.

People are basically selected from these people.

But not necessarily.

Because every year, many people think that for some reason, they are hidden by the Academy like baby pimples, and they release him when the imperial examination is held.

This is also Zhang Feng's plan.

Now so many people are staring at Chang'an University and Bailu Academy. What if these people are released at this time?

The beginning of Qiushou was similar to the sports meeting of later generations. First, people from the Ministry of work and the Ministry of rites praised the emperor, and then encouraged all students.

Then, there were several big academies offering wine and giving speeches.

Since the sacrificial offerings of Bailu academy and Chang'an University are both Zhang Feng, and this time the Imperial College and Hongwen hall are closely linked, things are easy to do.

It was originally the Imperial College's big head array who came to the stage to give a speech. Zhang Feng was also ready to study what these people said. After all, he really didn't understand these things. If he wasn't nervous, it was all false.

But this time, the people in the Imperial College are unusually good at playing.

The two presidents basically got up at the same time and said to Zhang Feng with a smile: "I've heard for a long time that childe Zhang is full of talents, and there are countless amazing and gorgeous poems circulating in the world, but these are only one-sided. As we all know, as the dean of an academy, offering wine is not only reflected in poetry, but also in the etiquette of the book of songs. Although you invited four Confucian scholars to the mountain, we don't know what means you used."

"But if you want me to be convinced, it's still a little difficult."

A fat man in a white Confucian robe with a big text embroidered on his body smiled and touched the eight character beard and said, "brother sun, you are a little difficult. President Zhang is a newcomer. By the way, he is also a great Confucian jointly recommended by the four Confucianism. We should pay attention to what we say."

Chumo and others heard that they were angry and almost wanted to beat people, but they were held down by Li Chengqian. He knew that the two grandchildren were going to be unlucky.

Zhang Feng sneered, patted Zhang Yuyao's trembling hand and Jing Shu's hand, got up and punched them, as well as the two adults and children of the work department and the etiquette department who had been watching coldly, which immediately made several people frown.

If this etiquette is used in other places, it doesn't matter, but where is it?

This is autumn hunting, and all the people who come are literati. This etiquette is a contempt for everyone.

However, the more Zhang Feng is like this, the more intense the smile on the faces of the two people of Guozijian and Hongwen Museum. It seems that the more prominent Zhang Feng is at this time, the better!

Zhang Feng looked at them and couldn't help laughing.

They were even happier when they saw each other.

"Young master Zhang, Lord Zhang, wine worship Lord, please, for the sake of being the youngest Confucian in Chang'an and even the whole Tang Dynasty, I'll give you the first chance to speak this autumn."

Zhang Feng asked with a smile, "I dare ask you..."

The eunuch's toast sneered: "my surname is sun, and the word Yan Bo is added as the fifth grade eunuch's toast!"

"Oh, Yan Bo, Hello, are you sure you really want me this time?"

“……”

Yan boleng was stunned. He didn't know what Zhang Feng meant, but he still nodded: "let's start. Don't waste everyone's time."

"Since brother Yan Bo has spoken, Zhang is not talented. Let's talk about it this time!"

Zhang Feng waved his hand and said, "I'm sure everyone knows about Chang'an University and Bailu academy?"

"The foundation of our institute is to get all the people in Datang out of the situation of poverty and white. I believe everyone has seen the things caused by the locust disaster. I will not say what I did in Bailu Academy. These are small things. As long as we can work for the welfare of the people all over the world, we will do them!"

"Not to mention the practice of our academy, let's talk about it first..."

"Wait!"

The man surnamed sun didn't like Zhang Feng, so he hurriedly interrupted Zhang Feng and said, "Dean Zhang, this is Qiushou. Let's talk about Qiushou?"

Zhang Feng skimmed his mouth and said again: "The foundation of the establishment of our academy is to make Datang no longer illiterate, and what I want to say is that in today's Datang, as long as not blind people can see it, from the opening of waterway business road, to the emergence of salt making technology, to the trade with Zhenla, these are the foundation for the growing strength of Datang. Think about it, what does a powerful country need?"

"What we need is that there are more literate people. Don't ask me why I want everyone to be literate. Let's see if there are many Hu merchants during this period. If all of us are still as usual, how can we do business?"

"What does it mean to be illiterate?"

"It's a matter of a country's face. What is the first thing for a powerful country to be strong? That's natural. How can a country's national strength be strong?"

"This involves one of the most basic things, that is culture!"

"Culture is the soul of a country. If you want everyone to believe you, it's not how many troops and powerful military forces you have, but how many literate people there are in your country."

"This is the face of a country. I have counted once before. The ratio of literate people to illiterate people in Datang is 100:1, that is, only one of 100 people may be literate, but this literacy is only literal."

"Why? It's not that they don't want to, because everyone knows that everything is inferior, only reading is high, but now?"

"What do you see?"

At this time, the people in the field, listening to Zhang Feng's words, couldn't help but be touched.

Zhang Feng is right.

Don't they come to read and read just as Zhang Feng said?
