Alas, it seems that the Ming clan actually doesn't have any panacea, at least, it doesn't have the feeling of initiation brought by Bai's "breaking the golden bell jar" last time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, Guan Zhuofan has no reason to ask the Ming clan to come up with any panacea.

"Yes, what my sister-in-law said is very true," he nodded, "I know the stakes of things, and I will do what I should do. ”

At this point, both of them were speechless for a moment, and there was a brief silence in the study.

"Oh, that's right," Ming broke the silence, "There's something I want to get back to the prince."

After a slight pause, "The two gentlemen of the family school, Mr. Shi, who teaches Western studies, said that they have found a teaching position in their 'university' in China, and they are going to return to China in the spring; ”

Guan Zhuofan was stunned.

The so-called "Mr. Shi", the big name is Smith, is an American, the level of "Western learning" is still secondary, the key is that he can speak Chinese, and it is not easy to find a foreigner who is both good at teaching and fluent in Chinese, but it is a pity!

Guan Zhuofan was slightly puzzled: In this era, as a tutor of the prince in charge of a big country, his reputation and status are not under the university teaching position, not to mention the treatment, Guan Zhuofan's "bundle" to the family school Xixi is 2,000 taels of silver a year, and American universities, even if they are famous professors, it is impossible to get so much salary, not to mention, Smith is probably not a "famous professor".

Perhaps, because there is only one student, he is young, and the things he teaches are too simple, and Mr. Shi feels that what he has learned cannot be disseminated? The school originally had two students, but after Xiaoyun went abroad, there was only one student left, Xiaohu.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and there is no way to do it.

As for Mr. Wang, who teaches Chinese studies

"Mr. Wang's old relative," Guan Zhuofan said suspiciously, "I remember, his parents are dead?" ”

"It's not my parents," Ming said, "it's a clan uncle, Mr. Wang's father died early, and when they were young, the mother and son took care of this clan uncle." ”

"Oh......"

The two Xixi bumped into a resignation errand, which is really a bit unfortunate.

"I've taken care of the accounting room," Ming said, "two gentlemen, is it appropriate for each of you to give an extra five hundred taels of 'bundles' to the prince?" ”

"What's wrong with being suitable?" Guan Zhuofan said, "You can just make up your mind about these things." ”

After a slight sigh, he said in a comforting tone: "You don't have to worry, after the New Year, you just need to find a new teacher, and you can't delay Xiaohu's studies." ”

Ming smiled, "Look at what the prince said, where am I in a hurry?" ”

After a slight pause, "I think, the gentleman who teaches Western studies and foreign languages has to go outside to find it, there is no way; However, it seems that you don't have to go to school at home to learn Chinese culture, just send Xiaohu to Qixue to hire a teacher yourself, and spend an extra two or three thousand taels of silver a year, why bother? ”

"Our family," Guan Zhuofan smiled, "I don't care about the ...... of these thousands of taels of silver."

"No," said Ming, "no matter how big the family business is, the money that should be spent, spent; Money that shouldn't be spent, don't spend! When Xiao Yun was at home, she was a girl, and it was impossible for her to go to school outside the school, so she naturally had to invite her husband; Xiaoyun went abroad, and Xiaohu was left alone, and he could go to school outside, and it would be worth spending this money! ”

"I can't say it's not worth it," Guan Zhuofan said, "However, if you just study Chinese culture, the difference between home and outside is really not very ......."

"Isn't it? Just tell Xiaohu to go to Qixue! ”

"The current Qixue ......" Guan Zhuofan said in a deep voice, "Whether it is official learning or righteous learning, there are some good and bad......

"The Eight Banners official school is a little unacceptable," Ming said, "However, the Jingshan official school and the Xian'an Palace official school have all been returned, right?" ”

"These two places are indeed better," Guan Zhuofan said, "Well, that's the Ministry of Internal Affairs...... But, to be honest, it's not much better, that's what it is......"

After a pause, he said resolutely: "That's it, Xiaohu don't go to any banner school, go to Zongxue!" ”

Ming's face showed a look of surprise, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This ...... Is it appropriate? ”

Flag school can be roughly divided into two categories: official school and righteous school, official school is "centrally schooled", and each of the eight banners has its own official school; "Yixue" is "local schooling", and in principle, one leader runs one Yixue.

The source of funding is all funded by the imperial court, and the righteous school is self-raised by the leaders of the banners and garrisons in various places. Students who study in the government do not need to pay any fees, but there is no "anointing silver" subsidy of two taels per year for students in government schools.

In the earliest days, there was no Yixue, but the number of places in the official school was limited, and the admission rate was extremely low, and if there was no "Yixue" as a supplement, most of the children of the Eight Banners did not have books to read.

As for the Jingshan official school and the Xian'an Palace official school, it belongs to the "key school" in the official school, because it is run by the internal affairs government, the funds are abundant, not only the teachers are not comparable to the official school of the Eight Banners, but the treatment of the students is also much better, especially the official school of Xian'an Palace, not only provides free school supplies and daily necessities to prevent cold and heatstroke, but also students have two taels of "anointing silver" per month and five stones and three buckets of rice per quarter, which can be regarded as "eating imperial grain".

Note that the students of the Eight Banners Official School also have a subsidy of "anointing fire silver", but that is only two taels a year.

If the Xian'an Palace official school is a "key school", then the "Zongxue" is an authentic "aristocratic school", which only accepts the children of the clan, and the treatment and teachers are especially superior to the Xian'an Palace official school. That's it, the key is that the way out for Zongxue students is not comparable to that of Qixue students.

In each five years, the imperial court sent the ministers to jointly test the left and right wings of the sect students, and the emperor personally determined the ranking, and registered in the Chinese style of the examination. Those who study the Chinese language and the world's tribute scholars are tested in the same palace, and they are given the first rank of the scholars, and they are used as Hanlin or the subordinate officials of the six departments.

In other words, the qualifications of graduates of Zongxue are equivalent to the title of the gold list. Of course, the "gold content" of this "gold list" cannot be compared with those born in the "right way", but what about him, anyway, as soon as he graduates, he will be an official!

This is where Ming's surprise lies, but the reason for her hesitation is also obvious, Xiaohu is not a child of the clan.

"What's wrong?" Guan Zhuofan said, "Xiaohu is my godfather, I am a clan, he can naturally be regarded as a 'child of the clan', there is nothing inappropriate!" ”

Ming's face flew gold, stood up, and was blessed, "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”
