Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 90 The Academy
The first issue of "Beijing News" was officially published in early April of the 21st year of Kangxi.

With "Zhengbao" and "Chenxi" leading the charge, the first issue of "Beijing News" was subscribed by many people.

The content of "Beijing News" includes some literary news, for example, what kind of books are suitable for what kind of people to read, there are also some great scholars' interpretations of literary works, and of course, there are novels, and this section is finally positioned as novels , the script sounds too low-level, and it is not appropriate to put it in the newspaper for reward.

The first novel Shu Mulu Qihuan published in the "Beijing News" invited his mentor to retouch the pen. At first, his mentor was unwilling to go into the muddy water, but Shu Mulu Qihuan revealed that this was the emperor's intention.

Shu Mulu Qihuan's transparent temperament has something to do with his mentor. He knew the emperor's plan from Qihuan, and guessed the emperor's ultimate goal. He felt that he could not write, and Qihuan was his favorite disciple. , and would be happy to help.

So I tried to write two novels that were not too long, and gave it to Qihuan to operate.

Qihuan himself has some talent to be valued by Yinzhen, not to mention his mentor. Naturally, there is nothing to say about the writing style. Coupled with such things as the script, as long as the logic is online, the story is not out of the ordinary. There was no shortage of readers in ancient times.

After the first issue of "Beijing News" was published, it received a lot of praise. Not only men liked to read it, but women also liked to read it.

The novel written by Qihuan’s mentor is about a story about the imperial examination of a poor family. There is not much love between the children in it, but more about the process of the Qinggele imperial examination, and some experience, because the content is very substitutable, and many Scholars who have passed the imperial examination have a deep feeling.

People who read it didn't connect the novel with the story book, and this retouching made the famous teacher of Qihuan, who was not well-known in the past, famous for a while.

Scholars are most concerned about the imperial examinations, and Qihuan's mentor positioned his first novel as an imperial examination, which is quite a coincidence.

It is said that studying hard in the cold window, if it weren't for the fact that studying can change the imperial examination, not many people would really be willing to study hard day and night, and studying is not so easy. There are so many scholars in the world, and only one or two hundred of them are selected every three years to become Jinshi.

It can be seen that the competition among scholars is very cruel. The novel written by Qihuan’s mentor made these scholars feel a sense of substitution. In ancient times, people who could read did not lack the money to buy a newspaper at home.

The name of Mr. Qihuan naturally spread among the scholars in this area of ​​the capital.

Qihuan's mentor is a Han, called Qi Yu, Zi Qianyun, who belong to the class who are good at studying but not very lucky. They encountered various accidents in the imperial examination, and it was very difficult to become Jinshi, and their rankings were not bad. Fifth, the family background cannot be said to be from a poor family, but it is not from a noble family.

He had a chance to become a good scholar, but he didn't step out before the exam, and got injured. Healing his injury is only enough for the Hanlin Academy, and it has nothing to do with it.

Originally, he planned to go out to take office, be it as a parent official, but it still didn't work out, and he himself was a little discouraged after years of "bad luck", so he resigned altogether and became a teacher.

Not to mention, since he lost contact with his official career, his luck has improved, and he is no longer so unlucky. He wondered if God would not let him be an official. Thinking this way, the last idea in his heart disappeared, but he still Some regret.

Men, after studying for decades, always want to use what they have learned to do something, so they can only use their energy on their own students.

Qihuan is his favorite student, and he has some friendship with Qihuan's Ama, the friendship between the two is even more intimate.

The reason why Qi Yu agreed to Qihuan is also because the relationship between the master and the apprentice is indeed extraordinary.

Qi Yu became famous for a while, and Qi Huan knew what the emperor meant. Now that his mentor can have such a reputation, don't worry about anything else. He has fulfilled the emperor's initial intention. I made a rough plan and knew how to proceed.

Because of this incident, Qi Yu also had some thoughts in his heart. He has no shortage of talents, but he just wants to display his ambitions. Unfortunately, his official career is different. Now that he has a reputation, he wants to set up a college to teach and educate people. Pass on your own ideas and let capable students do those unfulfilled ambitions, which can also make up for some of the regrets in your heart.

After Qi Yu had this idea, he couldn't sit still, but it was easy to say to set up an academy in the capital, but it was quite difficult to implement it.

There is no shortage of academies in the capital, and those academies that have been famous for a long time are filled with famous Confucian scholars and masters all over the world, and he can't match any one of them alone.

The academy only needs a venue and a teacher to run it. The venue is okay, but the teacher can also be found, but the weight is inferior, which is not what he expected.

Qihuan was busy with the "Beijing News", because the first issue did a good job. After seeing it, Yinzhen felt that Qihuan would have a lot to do in the future, and he became determined to be promoted. The people below also looked at him. Nobody thinks about feuding for no reason.

Although Qihuan was not in the yamen system, but because of the relationship between the "Beijing News" and the people from the Propaganda Department, he was quite close, so he got mixed up in this circle.

"Beijing News" is developing well. Although Qi Yu's novel manuscript is not long, it will not take a few issues to be serialized in the newspaper. Qihuan went to find his mentor again.

At this stage, he has no idea to find someone else.

Qihuan is very good at observing words and expressions. When chatting with his mentor, he can see that his mentor has something on his mind. He didn't want to inquire about anything. He wondered if his mentor encountered something difficult to solve. If he can help him, he can still help him of.

Before pressing the manuscript, Qihuan tentatively asked, "Is there something on your mind, Master?"

Qi Yu felt uncomfortable with being blocked in her heart, and wanted to talk to someone. Since the apprentice asked, he just said it. It didn't mean anything, just wanted to sigh.

Qi Yu: "Back then, my luck was bad, so I was relieved to be a teacher. Now that I have settled down, I feel more and more regretful. I want to open an academy, but I suffer from the lack of suitable teachers."

Qihuan understands what his mentor means, he knows what his mentor is capable of, but others don't. new academy.

Who wants to come to an academy without a bottom line, and even the academy cannot have only one teacher, these are all problems.

Qihuan thought for a while, then suddenly had an idea, and said: "Master, the student has an idea, do you want to listen to it, master?"

As soon as Qi Yu heard that his apprentice had an idea, he must listen to it: "Say it."

Qihuan: "The student will tell you directly. The student received the task from the emperor at the beginning, that is, he must run the "Beijing News". The emperor wants to publish the novel for everyone to accept. This is not right. It's simple. To be honest, the "Beijing News" of students is very short of people. If the master doesn't mind, he can set up a college without teaching other things, and specifically train the talents needed by the newspaper. The master can also see that the current newspaper In the future, this aspect will definitely be scarce, and newspapers can control and convey a lot of things, so the master's ambition may not be impossible to realize."
