Chapter 402 distress
Time passed quickly, and the construction of the martial arts school was also very smooth. By the end of the year, a large martial arts school also rose from the ground in Luoyang City. Although it did not look gorgeous, it was very heavy. Moreover, since the first day after its completion, it has been listed as a military forbidden area and outsiders are strictly prohibited from approaching.
The textbooks went very smoothly, led by Pei Xingjian, and several veterans who retired from the army also participated in it. They revised Li Jing's military books and finally compiled the textbooks of the martial arts school.
However, although there are textbooks, it is still a problem for the teacher who teaches these textbooks. The teaching of military strategy is no better than other ones. It is not that a person can become a teacher by memorizing the textbooks. Instead, he must have real battlefield experience so that the students taught will not be talkative on paper.
It is precisely because of this reason that those who act as gentlemen can only mobilize people from the army, but it is not easy to transfer people from the army. For example, the young and strong generals in the army will definitely not want to come if they have the ability. After all, they are more likely to make achievements in the army and will be more likely to be promoted in the future. Needless to say, those who do not have the ability, they are not even capable of themselves, let alone teach students.
Of course, some old and poor health veterans can also be drawn back, but these veterans also have a problem. Veterans with competent status are generally relatively high, and they have been struggling in the army for most of their lives and are about to go home to retire, so they may not be willing to work hard to come to martial arts.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that Pei Xingjian has had a headache during this period, and Zhang Zong had no choice. After all, he was not familiar with the army and could not help much. In addition, he also faced a problem, that is, Li Chongye asked him to go through the back door before.
In fact, it was not only Li Chongye. During this period, many people with different backgrounds wanted to stuff their children and nephews into the martial arts school after they learned about the martial arts school. After all, the Tang Dynasty was martial arts, and if they had military achievements, it would be easier to be promoted. For example, Pei Xingjian is a good example. He offended Wu Meiniang and was demoted to the Western Regions. As a result, they made great achievements in the Western Regions and now they have become one of the pillars of the Tang Dynasty.
There is also another prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Rengui, who also has great military achievements. Therefore, even if he is a civil servant, as long as he has military achievements, it is equivalent to cheating. Therefore, even civil servants want to send their descendants to the martial arts school. Even if they graduate and do not enter the army, they can still learn some ways to use the military, and they may be used in the future.
Zhang Zong was responsible for the enrollment, so he also met too many people who wanted to go through the back door during this period. Some of them even entrusted their relationship to Li Hong, and then Li Hong wrote a letter to say hello to Zhang Zong.
In fact, it is normal for this situation to occur. Although the Tang Dynasty broke the aristocratic system and had a talent-only imperial examination system, it still retained a great aristocratic political color. Officials and nobles had a lot of privileges in society. For example, taking another educational institution, Imperial College, as an example, all recruited officials and noble children, and ordinary people could not enter Imperial College to study.
Moreover, within the Imperial College, it is also divided into strata. For example, Imperial College only recruits children of officials of the third rank or above, Imperial College only recruits children of officials of the fifth rank or above, and four ranks only recruits children of officials of the seventh rank or above. The law, calligraphy, and mathematics are relatively relaxed, and can be children of the eighth rank or below, but the number of people is very small. Moreover, students from these three ranks are relatively restricted in the officialdom and generally do not have much development prospects.
It is also worth mentioning that most of the people who passed the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty were from the Imperial College. In other words, the Jinshi were generally children of officials, and few people from ordinary people could pass the Jinshi. Because ordinary people could not find any connections to help them apply for the papers, ordinary scholars also had their own knowledge. Usually, they were easier to take the Mingjing subject, but their development prospects were limited.
The Imperial College and the Imperial Examination are both the same. Therefore, as soon as the martial arts school was completed, the recruitment of students has not yet begun. All the civil and military officials in the court heard about it, and they all wanted to regard the martial arts school as another Imperial College.
If Zhang Zong was following his personality when he was traveling through time, he would probably drive all those who wanted to go through the back door and recruit students fairly. However, after so many years in the Tang Dynasty, he gradually realized that it was too difficult to change the entire society by himself, and it was not a matter of overnight success. He had to learn to compromise and cooperate. Only in this way can he achieve his goals.
That afternoon, Zhang Zong dragged his tired body back to the mansion, and Wan'er had already prepared the bath water. Because Zhang Zong was too tired during this period, he would habitually take a bath and have supper after coming back every day.
When Zhang Zong buried his whole body in the warm water, he felt that the fatigue in his body was dissipating little by little. Although he was very tired during this period and was not as leisurely as before, he was also very fulfilling. Moreover, when he participated in these things personally, Zhang Zong also felt that his abilities had been greatly trained.
At this moment, Zhang Zong felt a pair of soft hands gently massage the sides of his forehead, and his skillful techniques greatly relieved his fatigue. Zhang Zong knew without opening his eyes that it must be Wan'er who was helping him massage.
"Young Master is still worried about enrollment?" Wan'er suddenly spoke softly at this time.
"Well, there are too many benefits involved, it's simply endless and confusing, which is really a headache." Zhang Zong also replied helplessly.
"Actually, the young master doesn't have to spend too much time on this matter. With the example of Imperial College, even if the martial arts school is really made the second Imperial College, no one will say anything." Wan'er is the person who knows Zhang Zong best and knows what he is worried about.
"That's right, but I can't get through the hurdle in my heart." Zhang Zong sighed helplessly at this time. Martial Arts School is not as good as medical school. The benefits it involves are too great. It can even be said to involve half of the court. If you are not careful, it may cause very serious consequences, so he must be very cautious.
However, just as Zhang Zong finished speaking, he suddenly heard the bathroom door being pushed open. Zhang Zong and Wan'er looked at him, but Taiping walked in. When he was holding a few new clothes in his hand, he immediately smiled and said, "When my husband took a shower, I will try the clothes I just made to see if they fit."
