Chapter 597: Cast a wide net and collect more fish
Chang'an has reached the summer solstice of another year, the war is over, the Tang Dynasty has made a name for itself through this battle, and other countries around it have come to the court to ask for attachment. The ministers and the four Yi are naturally all called long live.
Regarding Xia Hongsheng's reward, Li Shimin seemed to have forgotten a glance and didn't mention a word. And the promotions of the other people, the rewards of rewards, only Xia Hongsheng is empty, and he doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in Li Shimin's gourd.
And Xia Hongsheng doesn't actually care about this.
The position of official is now able to prevent him from being bullied casually, and the money in his hand is enough for Xia Hongsheng to do what he wants. Therefore, for this conquest of the Turks, what Yu Xia Hongsheng gained was only a sense of mystery that he personally participated in the important historical process and major events.
What Xia Hongsheng is concerned about is that Jingyang Academy will start recruiting students this year - by September, classes will start!
There are still three or four months before the start of school, and there are already people who have signed up.
The housekeeper in Jingyang didn't know what to do, so he sent someone to tell Xia Hongsheng.
As for whether to set an admission threshold, Xia Hongsheng has been thinking about it for a long time, so that those who sign up will be directly enrolled until the number of people who can carry it at this stage is full. There is also an examination, and only those who pass the examination can be admitted to the school. There are pros and cons to both. If you can enter as long as you sign up, you can get enough students, but it also brings mixed problems. If it is an examination for admission, Jingyang Academy is not a major Confucianism, and those who sign up for the academy to learn things are far less related to Confucianism than imagined, if they use Confucianism to take the exam, they are all Confucian students, and those who have other talents or specialties are blocked out.
After thinking about it, Xia Hongsheng still felt that he should take the exam to enroll. However, the content of the test should be flexible and reflect a person's way of thinking and sense of innovation, rather than being limited to that subject.
Xia Hongsheng needs to calm down and set up some exam questions, but there is another trouble.
Xia Hongsheng is over sixteen years old, and it is said that it should be the time to tie his hair. But due to the early death of Xia Hongsheng's parents, as the only male in the Xia family, Xia Hongsheng had to go out, had to go to school, and entered the court as an official early, so this bundle of hair was tied up a long time ago. Because of his status, in another month, the day when the hair was originally tied will be crowned.
Originally, generally speaking, a man tied his hair at the age of fifteen or sixteen, took the word, and then crowned at the age of twenty. However, since the death of the Han Dynasty in the hundred years after the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Chinese culture has been damaged and impacted, and although the Sui and Tang dynasties restored the Han rites, they are far less stringent than before. Folk crowning, often between fifteen and twenty. If there are special circumstances that require him to join the family affairs as soon as possible, the age of this coronation can also be advanced. The most common is the noble family, if the father dies, the eldest son is under the age of 20 but has to inherit the family business, the crown will be given early. In other families, if the eldest son wants to do things for the family as soon as possible and exercise his ability, he will also be crowned in advance. In the emperor's house, the crown prince must be crowned in advance, and the rest of the princes do not have to, but after the crowning, they must go to various places to become vassals, and unless the emperor approves it, they cannot stay in Chang'an.
Xia Hongsheng was originally dependent on his sister-in-law, and was naturally the head of the Xia family, so he tied his hair early, and now he is also a veritable head of the family, who needs to manage the affairs of the family, and is also the face of the outside, so he must also be crowned early.
In another month, it will be the day of Xia Hongsheng's crowning, this kind of thing needs to be presided over by the elders of the famous clan, but the Xia family is now only a sister-in-law and Xia Hongsheng, so it is necessary to invite other respected elders to preside. This matter naturally fell on Yan Shigu. Because Xia Hongsheng is nominally his protégé, out of his door, master, master, Xia Hongsheng has no father, so it should be presided over by the master.
Xia Hongsheng originally wanted to be simple, but Yan Shigu was a great Confucian, and the Confucian etiquette was extremely cumbersome, but it was very troublesome.
Just a few days ago, Yan Shigu and Li Gang also found Jingyang because of Zhou Li and Han Li, and found Xia Hongsheng's sister-in-law. Sister-in-law and sister-in-law are a woman, where do they know about Shizi Zhou Li and Han Li, they can only let the two of them decide. Discuss and discuss, and decide whether it is a weekly ceremony.
Xia Hongsheng thought it was too troublesome, but it was this kind of social rule, and Xia Hongsheng couldn't help it. And all of this is taken care of by Yan Shigu and Li Gang, and he doesn't have to contribute by himself, just wait for Yan Shigu and Li Gang to prepare everything, and he can only say it to himself.
Xia Hongsheng sighed, put down the pen, folded the paper and put it in the envelope, then walked out of the study, called the little guy who came from Zhuangzi to deliver the news, handed the envelope to him, and said: "There are some things in the past few days, I will go back in a few days." Give it to the steward, and let him do it. ”
The little servant bowed and left. Xia Hongsheng went back to the study and continued to sit down and think about the questions of the entrance exam.
In the letter to the housekeeper, Xia Hongsheng ordered the housekeeper to take them to visit Jingyang Academy if there were any more people who had registered, and then gave them a wooden plaque as they did during the civil and military conference, which was a proof of registration, and then asked them to take the entrance exam with the wooden plaque at that time.
As for the vague sister-in-law who asked the housekeeper to bring the little girl, Xia Hongsheng took the time to meet a few matchmakers, Xia Hongsheng didn't hear it, and automatically filtered it.
The purpose of the sister-in-law is obvious, and her intentions are very unpredictable, that is, to cast a wide net, collect more fish, and choose the best.
Since the sealing of Hou, the lintel is considered to be bright, and the sister-in-law has only one wish left, that is, the prosperity of the people. dreamed that Xia Hongsheng gave birth to a bunch of children, and he could hold Xia Hongsheng several times a month.
This social consensus is terrifying. Even Li Laoer, Empress Eldest Sun, and the group of bigwigs are also very concerned about Xia Hongsheng's things, Xu Xiaode also told his sister-in-law that Xu Hui has not yet reached the end of time, so he can first take Yuexian as a concubine or something, is there such a pit girl?
"Childe!" Qi Yong's voice came from outside the door: "Daoist Yuan is here, and he is outside." ”
"Oh, please come in." Xia Hongsheng spoke, then walked out of the academy and walked to the front. Halfway through, I met Yuan Tiangang.
The folds on the old god's smiling face were all unfolded, and needless to say, Xia Hongsheng also knew what he was here for.
"Oops! Xiahou's kindness to my Taoism, poor Taoism is unforgettable! Please Xiahou bow to the poor! When Yuan Tiangang saw Xia Hongsheng, he immediately swept the dust and bowed.
Xia Hongsheng hurriedly went over to help him up: "Why bother with Daoist, Taoism is the local religion of the Central Plains, and Buddhism is foreign, so it is natural to support Taoism." Moreover, my teacher also has a relationship with Taoism, and he is also a friend of the Taoist in the next year, and it is natural to help the Taoist chief! ”
"After listening to what Xiahou said, I made my Taoist people follow the army as military doctors, and collected the bones of soldiers who died on the battlefield to perform ritual sacrifices, which was really effective. Poor Daoist listened to the words of Taoist friends who returned from wandering, and people everywhere praised Taoism's move, thanks to Xiahou who wrote this matter in the newspaper, so that everyone in the world knew. Yuan Tiangang was very excited and excited, where was there a dusty appearance of fairy wind bones. (To be continued.) )
