Chapter 771 - I can't release the scroll for learning
Guo Jia followed Wei Shuang, first to Yangzhou, and then along the Yangtze River to Jingzhou.
Liu Biao of Jingzhou, over the years, has only been bent on stabilizing Jingzhou, but some time ago, Zhang Ji came to attack Xiangyang, but he was lost and died under the city of Xiangyang.
Zhang Ji's nephew, with the rest of the people, surrendered to Liu Biao, and is now placed in Wancheng by Liu Biao.
Wancheng is in the north of Jingzhou, and Liu Biao also wants Zhang Xiu to be the gateway to Jingzhou to prevent Cao Cao from attacking Jingzhou.
Guo Jia followed Wei Shuang and gained a lot along the way.
Indeed, a lot of good seedlings have been dug up.
Because there are intelligence officers, Guo Jia goes directly to the door whenever he goes to a place, and then uses his three-inch incorruptible tongue to move those poor people who hesitate to leave.
Although no real talents have been found, many people, as low-level officials, have no problem at all.
However, it will take time to verify the character.
Even many people are now of good moral character, filial piety to their elders at home, and helpfulness.
But officialdom is the easiest to change a person.
Even the parties don't know when they have become known to themselves.
This is a big dye vat, and only those who are determined will not be affected.
Zhao Hui also knew that it was impossible to make officialdom like a clear pond.
He only hoped that the pond would not be so muddy, at least that he could see the fish in the pond.
Let those new fish not be dyed so easily.
Although he persuaded many people, it did not attract Liu Biao's attention.
Liu Biao's enterprising spirit is not as good as a year.
However, Guo Jia could not go to every city and village in Jingzhou and Yangzhou.
So there are still a few people who can let Guo Jia come to the door in person.
When Guo Jia leaves, it will still be the original news.
Let those who are interested in going to Jizhou for the imperial examination go to the Yangtze River within this month, and there will be a boat to send them to Jizhou at that time.
Guo Jia has already left, even if Liu Biao wants to stop it, he can't stop it now.
The news spread, and immediately there were those poor children who couldn't get together and were willing to go to Jizhou.
Even ordinary peasant children have some hot hearts and want to go to Jizhou.
Although Zhao Hui had little influence in Jingyang and Yangzhou.
But Zhao Hui's books have long been sold here.
Even ordinary people can buy one or two copies.
Bamboo slips are hard to find, but books are simple, and they are no longer monopolized by the family.
It's just that ordinary people, very few can read, and it is still too difficult for them to read and write.
I can't afford to go to school, I can't afford to hire a teacher, I can't afford to teach anyone, and I can't recognize the squares on the paper without a teacher.
The children of the poor family, although they are poor, but the previous family is still good, and most of the elders in the family are literate.
There are even slips left behind at home.
What they lack is connections, and money.
Guo Jia invited those who had some local fame.
Those nameless people can only let them go to the Yangtze River by themselves.
Although Liu Biao received the news later, he didn't pay much attention to it.
He and Zhao Hui are thousands of miles apart.
And I don't think there will be many people willing to go to Jizhou.
Those people are just poor people, and Liu Biao doesn't look down on them. If you go, you will go.
Guo Jia returned with a large number of people, and collected dozens of people in Xuzhou.
"My lord, if I can't get into high school, how will I come back?"
Some people don't have confidence in themselves.
If you really have full confidence and smash the pot to sell iron, you will also have to go to Youzhou, Jizhou.
After all, as long as they are at the top of the imperial examination, they don't need to worry about food and clothing in the future.
Now smash the pot and sell iron, and you can buy it back later, and there are still houses and servants.
But because they don't have faith, where do they dare to gamble.
The people who were told by Guo Jia before and then boarded the boat have come back to their senses at this moment.
If they go to Jizhou, if they don't make it to high school, then how will they come back?
It's a long way to go, but not many people can walk back on their own feet.
Most of them will die on the way.
"Don't worry, you can come back with the cargo ship then." Guo Jiadao.
Guo Jia also knows that these more than 100 people cannot all be talented.
However, what the level is like, you still have to take the test to know.
Zhao Hui didn't want traditional Confucian disciples.
These children from poor families have all heard about the imperial examination before, and they have all learned about the content of the imperial examination.
Even though they had never traveled to Youzhou to participate in it before.
But I have this dream in my heart, so I have bought Zhao Hui's books and studied them at home.
They may still have no practical operation, but compared to those families who can only make a fuss, they still value Zhao Hui and Guo Jia more.
Coupled with the fact that Guo Jia brought back from several states in the south, almost 300 people participated in the imperial examination in Jizhou this time.
However, there is still more than a month before the imperial examination. The people brought by Guo Jia were all arranged to study at Yecheng College.
Before, they were just reading books and groping by themselves, and there were some knowledge that they couldn't understand, and no one explained it to them.
Almost all of the teachers in Yecheng College came from Youzhou.
The more than 100 people brought back by Guo Jia first felt that their knowledge had improved rapidly in the past month.
They are like a sponge, constantly absorbing water.
In addition to eating and sleeping, everyone is studying hard and doesn't want to waste a little time.
I go to bed at night and get up at night.
I don't sleep more than three hours a night.
As for the big man, most people sleep for about six or seven hours a day.
After dark, I went to bed early.
After all, the later you go to bed, the more hungry you won't be able to sleep.
Moreover, ordinary people's families, where are they willing to light oil lamps, and they have nothing to do if they are blind in the dark.
These children from the south, everyone is studying hard, and this atmosphere has also driven other students in Yecheng Academy.
In the whole academy, no one was playing around, and even after class, they still stayed in the classroom and continued to study, until their stomachs growled, and they would not go to eat something.
Even when eating, there are still a lot of books to read.
They don't want to waste a little time.
I watched it when I was eating, and I was watching it when I was going to the hut.
They are greedy here, absorbing the knowledge they have always dreamed of.
They no longer worry about whether they will be able to make it to high school.
Being able to learn this knowledge this time is enough for them.
With this knowledge, they can rely on it to change their lives when they go back.
In the space of a month, they have made great progress.
The family of Jizhou, although it has always been against the imperial examination.
But Zhao Hui has already been launched, and if you want to be an official, you must participate in the imperial examination.
Even if they were against it, each family still sent their own children to participate.
