Chapter 424: No Way to Study

Chapter 424: No Way to Study

"Brother Fei, how many students have left the academy on their own initiative?" Qin Feng asked with a frown.

"This is the fourteenth. Since the first student left seven days ago, almost one or two students have left every day since then." Fei Xun shook his head.

Qin Feng was very puzzled. These students used to be eager to learn, why are they leaving one by one now? Could it be that something happened at home?

But it would be fine if there were only one or two people like this, how could so many people have problems at home at once?

"Did Brother Yang say anything?"

Brother Yang was naturally referring to Yang Qian. When he had nothing to do, he would come here to teach.

As a fourth-grade Taoist of the Wensheng, Yang Qian's ability to divination was naturally far superior to Qin Feng and the others.

Fei Xun replied: "Brother Yang did mention to me that everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced. Let them go."

Qin Feng fell into deep thought. These words showed that Brother Yang must know something, but he was powerless to stop it.

Time passed quickly, and every day thereafter, students would leave the Hanmen Academy.

At first, there were only one or two, but later, there were more and more, and sometimes, more than ten students would leave in a day.

Qin Feng also tried to ask them the reason, but no one answered.

However, he also saw from the reluctant expressions and eyes of those students that it was not their original intention to leave the academy.

The Hanmen Academy, which was originally full of students, now has less than half of its seats when classes start.

Today, Senior Brother Yang came to the academy to teach, and after teaching, another student stayed to express his intention to leave.

Yang Qian did not ask much, but just sighed and said "OK".

After all the students left, Qin Feng asked, "Brother Yang, do you know why they left?"

Yang Qian glanced at them and replied softly, "I know you want to keep them, but there are some things you can't change.

They are poor children after all. Although they like to study, they also have to bear the burden of life.

For them, living well and letting their families live well is the most important thing. How can they spend all their time on studying?

Just like Fei Xun and I, if we were not alone at the beginning, we would not have made up our minds to study in Haowen Academy."

"Brother Yang means that they left because of the pressure of life?

But no one left because of this before, why are there so many recently?" Qin Feng is still puzzled.

Yang Qian shook his head and said, "This question is bound to come up, it's just a matter of time.

Junior Brother Qin, let me ask you, if there is a scholar who is starving, and there is a book and a piece of dry food in front of him, and the scholar can only choose one of the two, what will he choose?"

Yang Qian did not wait for Qin Feng to reply, but said directly: "It must be the piece of dry food. Junior Brother Qin, have you ever thought about why Daqian has a large population, but the spirit of worshipping martial arts is prevalent, but scholars are rare?"

Hearing this, Qin Feng's thoughts suddenly returned to Jinyang City, and returned to the heart-searching platform before he asked his questions. Naturally, he knew the reason very well. After all, when At first, he had analyzed it with Lan Ningshuang, that is - "no way to study."

"Yes, most of Daqian are ordinary people and children from poor families. For them, studying is a way out.

If you want to step into the path of literary saints, you need to memorize thousands of books. Even if you are extremely talented, it will take at least several years.

With these few years of effort, even if you step into the ninth level of literary saints, what can you do?

Facing demons and ghosts, you still have no power to resist, and your life cannot be improved.

But if you use these few years to practice Shenwu or Baigui, at least you can have a certain self-protection ability in this chaotic world."

Yang Qian turned sideways and said again He then said: "If you can enter the court by studying and benefit the people, it would be a good idea.

But you should also know that only those in the Imperial College can enter the court by studying.

And the Imperial College is basically full of children of the rich and powerful. It is a pipe dream for poor students to stand out in it.

No matter how strong your ability is and how profound your knowledge is, you will not have the opportunity to realize your ambitions.

In this case, knowing that studying has no future, coupled with the burden of life, how many poor students will insist on continuing to study?"

Qin Feng took a breath and replied: "Very few There are not many. "

"Yes, there are not many. In these poor students, I seem to see myself in the past, so I can understand their difficulties and what they think in their hearts.

In life, many things are beyond one's control.

It is common to ask for something but not get it, and to get it but not go smoothly.

In this regard, let alone us, even teachers are powerless to change it.

That's why the teacher created Haowen Academy to keep a holy place for scholars for Daqian. It's a pity that this holy place for reading has also been infiltrated by the Imperial Academy and is no longer as pure as it was at the beginning. "

Qin Feng left the Poor Academy with a heavy heart.

The original intention of establishing the Poor Academy was to allow ordinary people and poor children to have a place to study.

But he forgot that if the situation of Daqian's lack of access to reading was not broken, the establishment of the Poor Academy itself would be a joke.

The sky was already dark, night fell, and the stars were dim, just like Qin Feng's mood at the moment.

He did not go back to the Qin Mansion directly, but walked in the streets and alleys of Fengtian City.

Many people still shout and hawk in the cold streets to make a living, all because of the pressure of life.

He saw low-level officials taking food from vendors, not only without giving a penny, but also the vendors had to smile and flatter, and then sighed with heartache after the officials left.

He saw an official go out, not only with four people carrying a sedan chair, but also driving away the people who blocked the road along the way, and even trampling the goods of the vendors. The official did not feel any guilt, but lifted the curtain of the carriage to show off his power and laughed contemptuously.

He saw the officials of Daqian being fearless, and the people being helpless and sad.

Come to think of it, the officials of Daqian were basically appointed by the powerful or selected from the Imperial College.

And most of the students in the Imperial College were also the children of the powerful. They had been living a luxurious life since childhood. Even if they became officials, how could they know the suffering of the people?

It is precisely because of this that the officials of Daqian were corrupt and useless, and the people were living in misery.

He thought of the conversation with Luo Yu in the restaurant. Although the demons were a knife hanging over the heads of the people, sometimes people were more terrifying than demons.

If you want to change this situation, you must change the official selection system of Daqian.

But how easy is this?

Letting children from poor families enter the officialdom will affect the interests of a lot of people and will inevitably be opposed by many people.

Qin Feng recalled the oath on the platform of inquiry and felt it was ridiculous.
