Chapter 255

Guozijian is located in the South Outer City, Tongyu Street.

From the inner city, go south along Yujie Street, exit Suzaku Gate, go forward for three blocks, and turn left.

The Tianxia Guozijian is divided into four places, namely Tokyo Guozijian in Bianliang, Xijing Guozijian in Luoyang, Beijing Guozijian in Damingfu, and a special Lin’an Guozijian in Jiangnan.

Among the state-level universities sponsored by the Great Zhou Dynasty, Taixue is the best, because Taixue is the only college that studies Confucian classics.

To put it bluntly, it is similar to the current Central D school, and the students who come out are basically officials.

The second is the Guozijian. From a modern perspective, the Guozijian of the Great Zhou Dynasty is more like a specialist university with many types of disciplines.

Such as arithmetic, painting, calligraphy, law, martial arts, medicine, etc., everything.

Students graduating from here can also take the "college entrance examination", but after passing the examination, they can only serve as technical officials and cannot become "jinshi".

For example, after graduating from a medical school and passing the imperial examination, they can be admitted to the "Hanlin Medical Official Academy". The highest achievement of the students who graduate from here is to enter the Imperial Hospital, but most of them can only go to various prefectures and counties to serve as medical officers.

Medical officials are not in the top class. This is the "lower official" despised by Confucian students.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was considered a relatively open dynasty, and restrictions were not strict in all aspects, but unspoken social rules still existed. For example, people from medical families generally practiced medicine, and they hardly gave you the opportunity to study Confucianism and enter the Jinshi exam.

Unless you entrust your name to an ordinary family when you were born, and then use the name of their heirs to take the examination for Jinshi.

To put it bluntly, the civil service group still wants to protect its own interests, and does not want more people to enter to get a share of the pie, so it has set many conditions and does not allow you to cross the border.

This situation reached its peak later in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as military households, medical households, tea households, fishermen, horse households, mining households, artisan households, weaving households, ship households, merchant households, salt households, and so on.

It is equivalent to what your father does, what you will do in the future, enslaving you and oppressing you all day long, even if you are given the qualifications for the college entrance examination, you do not have the money and ability to send your children to school and take the exam.

The status is only a little better than that of subordinate officials and the family of prostitutes. These two types of people are definitely not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.

In ancient times, class solidification was quite serious.

It is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son,

Don't look at the drama, a poor student, who doesn't even have the money to go to the capital to catch the exam, and then some prostitute or female ghost subsidizes so much money, and then the student agrees to come back and marry her and so on.

To go to Beijing to catch the exam, first of all you have to be a Juren,
The problem is that juren is regarded as a "scholar-bureaucrat" class. When others see you, they will call "Master Juren", and some folks from the village will come to "donate" their own fertile land and immediately make you a big landlord without paying taxes.

Do you think such a gentleman is a poor person?Will he not even have the money to go to Beijing to catch the exam?
When people go to Beijing to rush for the exam, with the "examination admission ticket" and the "road guide" from the local government, the government will provide free transportation by car and boat, and free board and lodging at the post stations along the road.

Need help from your whorehouse girl?Brothel women still want to be the wife of an official?Think too much.

Children from really poor families can't even afford to buy books, and they don't have the money to send them to private schools. How do you take the "high school entrance examination" and "college entrance examination"?
The key to the ancient imperial examinations is that there are test-taking skills,

How to do stereotyped essays, there is a way, usually it is a top secret passed down from generation to generation in the family, or you worship a famous teacher, enter some kind of academy, and they charge you a few thousand taels a year for tuition.

What is a scholarly family?What is an eight Jinshi?

This shows that whether it is knowledge, exam-taking skills, or the annotations of various Confucian classics, etc., everyone has family education, so that they can continuously ensure that their children can be nominated for the gold list and continue the family glory.

You are a poor student, even if you can barely go to school, but you don’t have the money to participate in "extracurricular training classes" or "college entrance sprint classes", the starting point is different, how can you compete with others?

Of course, this is not absolute, it can only be said that the mainstream is so.

In addition to class solidification, there is another "monopoly" by a small number of people.

For example, Guozijian Medical College recruits students every three years.

Those who can enter the medical school are generally recommended by the major medical families themselves, but there is a quota limit, which is similar to Ju Xiaolian in the Han Dynasty.

Ordinary people's children want to go to medical school?There are no doors.

There is an age limit for students entering medical school, between the ages of 15 and 20, of course there is no restriction on men and women. As mentioned earlier, women doctors are usually in charge of gynecology in medicine.

Candidates recommended by major medical families are divided into two types.

One is to have a clear goal, send the best children in the family to the Imperial College, and have the opportunity to enter the Imperial Hospital in the future.

Once you become an imperial physician and your family's clinic becomes "a certain imperial physician's home", your business will gradually increase, and your family's power will also expand rapidly.

But there are also special ones, such as Jingshitang Chen's family, who are afraid of the changes in the family, and don't want their children to go to the imperial hospital at all.

After finishing their studies, they can go home and inherit millions of dollars.

So Chen Buer didn't have any pressure at all.

I saw him wearing a Guozijian shirt, with a black turban on his head, carrying a cage on his back, yawning, and walking to the Guozijian with Chen Shui.

This attire is almost the same as that of Ning Caichen in "A Chinese Ghost Story".

The only difference is that the shirts of Confucian students are white with black borders, while the shirts of Guozijian Medical College are white with purple borders. The colors are different, but the style is still the same.

"Master, hurry up, the first day of school starts, we can't be late"

Facing the anxious Chen Shui, Chen Buer was full of complaints:

"Do you think my father is sick? The family has a carriage and a donkey cart, but they want us to walk to the Guozijian? The Xingguo Temple Bridge is about ten miles away. Isn't this torture?"

Chen Shui didn't take it seriously: "Young master, the master said that the heavens will send you a great mission, so people must first suffer from their will, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their skin, empty their bodies, and mess up their actions..."

"Okay, okay, if you don't have the conditions, of course you can only endure hardships. If we have the conditions, we will deliberately endure hardships. That's called hypocrisy, that's called perversion. Oh, I have blisters on the soles of my feet. It can't be done. Let's eat a bowl of spicy soup and then eat it." Let's go, my master is my treat."

Chen Shui looked at the sun and shook his head resolutely: "Master, let's go, I will sue the second master for your behavior."

"Ah, you little traitor, your revolutionary stance is so unstable, you can leave as soon as you go, whoever is afraid of others, I will treat it as a five-kilometer march with a heavy load."
