Reading and literacy is something that every poor person yearns for. In the context of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if you don't become a scholar, you are a subordinate.

Even if the kitten has always wanted to join the army, he still has the ideal of reading and writing in his heart.

However, books in the Han Dynasty were so scarce that many of them were copied by hand, and they were all privately owned by those of the great families. For ordinary people, reading has become an unattainable thing.

When the children of the scholar clan are born, they can receive a good education and have far superior abilities.

For ordinary people, they are either appreciated, taught, become other people's protégés, and get rid of the identity of the head of Qian; Either you get angry and earn enough money to spend a lot of money on books and change your children and grandchildren.

In the Han Dynasty, the way out for most of the poor families was only the first. In this way, even if these people can get rid of the identity of the head of Qian, they will also be marked with traces of certain forces.

If you are promoted, you are judged, and if you can't do things for the person who appreciates you, you will definitely be labeled ungrateful. At that time, there was no place for the world to be so big.

It is precisely the emergence of the probation system that has made this trend more and more intense.

There are many subjects to be examined, mainly including filial piety (filial piety and honesty), Xiucai (excellent talent), Mingjing (well-versed in scriptures), virtuous and righteous (able to speak outright) and so on.

The original intention of the probation system was good, and the imperial court also hoped that through the recommendation of various local officials, more talents could be obtained.

However, if it is human, it will be selfish. Those officials who are in charge of the inspection naturally hope that the people who are inspected by themselves can become their help in the future.

In this way, those scholars who can drip water and have a grateful heart for the officials will naturally become the objects of inspection by the majority of officials.

On the contrary, some people who are ungrateful or not good at sycophants will naturally be left out in the cold.

In the long run, the entire social atmosphere of the Han Dynasty produced a deformed 'loyalty'. This 'loyalty' is not loyal to the court, not to the people, but to the superiors who promoted themselves.

In this way, the family gate valve cultivates the children of its own family by inspecting talents, and its influence is also increasing.

Why is the Yuan family so powerful, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two brothers, can become the princes of one side?

In the final analysis, the fourth generation of the Yuan family and the third duke, protégés and former officials are all over the world. When the Yuan brothers got into trouble, those so-called Yuan protégés became the minions of the Yuan Shao brothers.

Since these people, even their ancestors, became the protégés of the Yuan family, they have been both prosperous and lossy with the Yuan family.

It is precisely because of this that the Yuan Shao brothers can have such a great momentum.

Whether it is the Han Dynasty inspection system, or the deformed 'loyalty', it makes the scholars of the poor family can only achieve something by relying on others.

It is precisely because of this that the family can always stand.

The reason why Chen Xu did not dare to popularize education was that he was afraid that after breaking the monopoly of knowledge and talents of the family, he would suffer a fierce counterattack from the family.

He established this four-like Taixue in order to pave the way for the future.

This Taixue will not be like before, you must have a family background and relationships to get in. As long as you meet the requirements, you can enter Taixue to study.

In the Han Dynasty, there had always been Taixue, and even if Wen Zhao established such a four-like Taixue, the resistance would be far less than that of universal education.

Wen Zhao just wanted to cultivate a large number of poor scholars through subtlety, so that he would not rely too much on the children of the family.

After all, most of the officials in Wenzhao are also children of the family. It is impossible for Chen Xu to find those ordinary people who don't know how to read and write to govern the country for him.

Chen Xu can dislike the family, but he can't deny the talent of the family. The education received by the children of the family was, in the vast majority of cases, destined for them to far surpass the poor scholars.

The kitten now is a grassroots one, with no relationship, no reputation, and no even knowing a few words. Wanting to be examined is also a bit unrealistic.

He didn't have much money at home, so it was impossible for him to buy books, so he asked his husband to teach him how to read and write.

The emergence of Taixue is an opportunity for kittens, an opportunity to get rid of the identity of the head of Qian. Now that he had made a decision in his heart, the kitten stopped buying anything and hurried back home.

After listening to the kitten's narration, Chuncao blinked her beautiful big eyes and said, "Do you want to enter Taixue to study?" ”

"Hmm!"

"But you are nearly thirty-three years old this year, so old, will the academy accept it?"

The kitten's old face turned red and whispered, "What's wrong with being thirty-three?" I still have a young heart! ”

"Poof!"

Chuncao couldn't help laughing and said, "If you want to go, you can go, don't be sad if you don't get selected." ”

The kitten nodded vigorously and rushed to Taixue to prepare to sign up......

Taixue Military Branch Registration Office.

"Age."

"Kitten."

"Don't you have a daimyo?"

The kitten blushed, and he lowered his head and said, "No." ”

The official in charge of registration asked again, "So what is your real surname?" ”

"Is your real name?"

The kitten's eyes were a little misty, and after many years, he was about to forget his real surname.

"Shao."

The registrar nodded and said, "That's Shao Kitten." ”

"Age."

The kitten's face turned red again: "Thirty-three." ”

The registrar's hand trembled slightly, and he secretly thought: "It's really rare to come to Taixue to study after the year of establishment." ”

"Origin."

"Changshan Zhendingren."

The registrar raised his head again, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Is it really Changshan Zhendingren?" ”

The kitten nodded affirmatively.

It is no wonder that the registrar was surprised, although the composition of the people in Guanzhong is relatively complex, there are those who merge with the state, there are those in Yanzhou, there are those in Yangzhou, and there are those in Yuzhou, but the people of Jizhou are rare.

Although there are not many people in Jizhou, most of them are people who followed Chen Xu very early. These people are either in high positions now, or they are also rich peasants.

Therefore, after the registrar heard about the kitten's origin, he was a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask a few more words: "Then why did you come here?" ”

The kitten scratched his head and said, "At that time, the lord took Guanzhong, and the population in the territory was sparse, so he encouraged the people of Bingzhou to migrate into the customs, and I followed at that time." ”

At that time, the lives of the people in Bingzhou were far greater than those in Guanzhong, but the kitten was able to come over without hesitation, which made the registrar somewhat admired.

He couldn't help but ask again: "Aren't you from Jizhou, why did you settle in Bingzhou again?" ”

Hearing this, the kitten suddenly straightened his chest and said proudly: "When the lord was crisscrossing Changshan, I followed the lord, and later stayed on the Taihang Mountain with the lord. ”

"The lord conquered the annexation of the state, and I naturally migrated to the annexation state."

When the registrar heard that the kitten had defected to Chen Xu so early, he was immediately in awe, and made a special note on the back of the kitten's information.

After the kitten was registered, the registrar told him to go back first and wait for the notice.

Since Chen Xu opened Taixue to cultivate talents, he naturally had to find out the details of those Taixue. After everyone has registered, there will naturally be people who will verify the content registered on it.

If you lie during registration or have a problem with your identity, you will not be notified of the assessment.

The kitten returned home and waited for three days before getting the notice to go to Taixue for the assessment.

The assessment content of the Taixue Military Branch is strange, not only to measure height and weight, but also to let medical workers check whether there are hidden diseases in the body.

In addition, it is necessary to test whether the person can distinguish between the southeast and northwest, the front and the back, the left and right, whether he is smart enough, and how his physical fitness is.

These strange assessment contents were all formulated by Chen Xu. In his opinion, since it is a military academy, it is a place to train grassroots generals.

Those who are too poor in health and too stupid in their brains are naturally not suitable for entering this branch.

Of course, the assessment standards of traditional scripture schools and miscellaneous credit schools are not the same.

The traditional scriptures have not changed much from the past, except that the common people also have the opportunity to enter the Taixue study; As for the miscellaneous colleges, anyone with a skill can apply to join.

It can be said that the traditional school has the strictest standard for accepting people, followed by the military branch, and the miscellaneous branch school has almost no threshold.

Rao is like this, the traditional scripture branch is still full of people, and the miscellaneous branch school is still very few. After all, people's traditional beliefs for hundreds of years are not easy to change.

After a whole day of tossing, the kitten's assessment was completed. When he was looking forward to the results of the assessment, he was told that the admission list would be announced three days later.

In desperation, the kitten had no choice but to return home again with apprehension.

However, he said that after Cheng Yu got the assessment results of the Military Branch, he began to finalize the selected personnel. Now that the troubled times have arrived, many families hope that the children of the clan can control the military power.

The emergence of the military branch has made many families see an opportunity. Therefore, there are many children of the family, and they have also applied for the military branch.

However, Chen Xu had already explained that the cadets of the military branch were given priority. If the children of the family want to enter the military branch, the difficulty is increased tenfold.

Of course, this order was only privately informed by Wen Zhao to Cheng Yu, and was not made public.

In order to justifiably eliminate the children of the family, the standards for the admission of cadets in the military branch have many assessments such as hardship and hard work.

It's just that this series of assessments is enough to eliminate many children of the family.

Because cultural knowledge is not assessed, the children of the family do not have any advantage at all when they assess the military branch.

Perhaps, this is not fair to those children of the family. However, in this society, there is never real fairness, and the rules are always made by those in power.

Cheng Yu, as the dean of the military branch, for those children of the family, except for a few extremely outstanding existences, everyone else was ruthlessly eliminated by him.

When he saw the kitten's resume and grades, he finally showed a hesitant look on his face.
