Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 394: Take two bites

After listening to Zhang Chunhua's words, two of the eight young people had tangled expressions on their faces. One looked like he was seventeen or eighteen, and the other looked like he was thirteen or fourteen.

After standing for a while holding King Chu's gift box, the slightly elder gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, I also think what this lord said is reasonable... Your Majesty, if you failed to catch up with the county examination in Strider County, can you apply in another place? "

"Yi...your name is Fei Yi?" Bai Tu's eyes lit up, but he pretended to be fine and asked. After all, Fei Yi didn't have much reputation now.

Seeing Fei Yi's answer, Bai Tu simply nodded and said: "For the sake of fairness, unless you have a household registration other than Jingyang, if you don't register at the place of household registration, you need to go through a lot of procedures... But since you have such great ambitions, I appreciate it very much. , I can make an exception and recommend it to you, just prepare for the palace examination in Jinling in October!"

When Fei Yi heard that the King of Chu was willing to write a letter of recommendation for himself, just because he admired his ambition, he was even more moved.

At first, Fei Boren wanted to make a gesture with his eyes, but when he saw that Fei Yi had already spoken, he just sighed in his heart, and no longer made any strange appearances on the surface.

After all, he just brought some close relatives to join his cousin...

Fei Yi's father died early, but it was already over now, so why did he decide not to worry about his uncle.

As for Bai Tu, he is not worried that his recommendation will be ruined. Although Fei Yi is still young, but... this person is also a famous figure in history. He is one of the four prime ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang also mentioned it in "Shi Shi Biao".

Fei Yi was good at internal governance, and he was sent to the state of Wu many times. After Zhuge Liang died, Fei Yi and Jiang Wei had different opinions, believing that the Shu Han should recuperate.

But unfortunately... Later, Fei Yi was assassinated and killed by General Wei Guojiang at the Suidan Banquet.

Even though the current Fei Yi is far less sophisticated than decades later, the first imperial examination should not be as difficult as hell, making even the young Fei Yi unable to pass the imperial examination.

At this moment, the younger boy from before also whispered: "Eldest nephew, you took your uncle with you when you went to the imperial examination. Brother, I won't go to Xichuan with you." The second half of the sentence was and Fabrien said.

This young man seemed to be of the same generation as Fei Boren, and Fei Yi even called him uncle.

Hearing this, Fei Boren glared at the young man—unlike Fei Yi, this cousin was close to him, and also had a close blood relationship with Liu Zhang's mother, how could he be allowed to go to Jinling too.

Hearing the young man's words, Bai Tu specially asked, "Oh? What's your name? Are you going to Jinling for a study tour?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my son, Fei Guan, knows that he has little talent and learning, so he might not be able to enter the imperial examination like my nephew Fei Yi, but I heard that there are many government schools in Jinling, so I want to ask for it!"

"You have come to the right place to study. Not only do the six ministries have official schools, but there are also martial arts halls, medical schools, and planetariums... all of which accept students, but it is not that easy to get into the exam." Bai Tu said specifically.

Bai Tu also deliberately separated the imperial examinations from the academic examinations. In theory, the official education in Jinling was on the same level as the county schools in various places, but in fact... it was much more profound and difficult to pass.

After all, Bai Tu has great ideas, and it is impossible for him to open vocational schools all over Chu State with just one sentence. Most of the county schools in various places are still based on classics and meaning, and occasionally some are based on arithmetic and machine learning. Only in Jinling , Bai Tu's decrees can be implemented with maximum efficiency, so various official schools emerge in endlessly.

As for other counties and cities, it will take at least another five years before they can gradually imitate and rise. The premise is that Jinling's official education really works!
"Your Majesty, don't underestimate me. My nephew Fei Yi has the appearance of a minister, and I... at least have the appearance of a top student." Fei Guan, the "top student", also heard from others that top students in major official schools are exempt from tuition.

"Uncle Guan..." Fei Yi had no choice but to whisper to stop his uncle.

Bai Tu also had some impressions at this time. He seemed to have a good image. Although he was not on the level of one of the four most handsome men in Chu State, he was still pretty and he was lovable.

I guess he must be Liu Zhang's son-in-law, right?

Well, Fei Guan was the same generation as Liu Zhang from his clan aunt's generation, but Liu Zhang married his daughter to him after entering Shu.

In the Han Dynasty, seniority was not a big issue, but was blood relationship close?

Not to mention the Han Dynasty, the entire history of the feudal dynasty did not care about the maternal line in preventing incest, and the "Five Servers" only focused on the paternal line.

Because of his status as Liu Zhang's son-in-law, Fei Guan became an official earlier than Fei Yi. He had already served in the Yizhou Army before Liu Bei entered Shu. However... Fei Guan and Li Yan were directly demoted while guarding Mianzhu. Yu Liu Bei.

He also displayed his talents more under Liu Bei, second to Li Yan, and became the governor of Bajun in his 30s. However... he died early, Liu Chan died a few years after he ascended the throne.

Chen Shou, the editor of "Three Kingdoms", commented on him as "good at communicating", that is, he can get along with others.

One specific example is that Li Yan, who couldn't get along with anyone, got along with Fei Guan, who was 20 years younger than him...

"Hahaha, okay, I'm waiting for Jinling to add another top student." Naturally, Bai Tu would not attack "Tong Yan".

Fei Boren groaned secretly in his heart——Fei Guan just said it casually, as long as he disagrees, can Fei Guan leave?

But now that the King of Chu has started to pick a fight, can he still hold on?
However, except for Fei Guan and Fei Yi, the others were not tempted. After all... Liu Zhang was a real relative!
After all, for them, what determines the upper limit is not the venue where they show their fists, but... the connections.

Even if Chu State develops better, it is obviously not as important to them as the "doorway" in Yizhou.

Bai Tu was already very satisfied, he just paid some of the Four Treasures of the Study, and among the gifts he had prepared, it was the third one, which was specially used to support the younger ones. It's also great.

After bidding farewell to Fei Boren, who had a stiff smile on his face, Bai Tu specially praised Zhang Chunhua.

Zhang Chunhua naturally didn't know before that there were any powerful people in Fei's family, but...he casually followed Bai Tu's suggestion and thought about whether there were really motivated and studious people among them who might be inspired by her. If not, it wouldn't hurt to leave. , it’s not a loss for me anyway.

In Jiangxia, Bai Tu didn't just pass by before entering the city. Instead, he actually "swept up" a few important counties...

After Fei's good start, the results of Jiangxia's "sweeping up" were also quite gratifying. They mainly appeased grassroots officials, invited some reclusive scholars to serve as officials, or treated them with courtesy, and also treated young students with courtesy. Send a prepared gift box.

Of course, every time they visit a county, the accompanying officials from the six departments will conduct random inspections of government affairs. Although the original intention is to examine the necessity of the two-level system of prefectures and counties, problems will also be discovered by the way.

Baitu will not show mercy to some intolerable mistakes, such as the Ministry of Punishment discovering a major unjust, false, or wrongful conviction, or the Ministry of Accounts discovering serious discrepancies in the accounts.

At the same time, they did not hesitate to make exceptions for the appointment of local officials with high levels who had been buried by the Jingzhou government before.
