Under the leadership of Lin Shufeng, it didn't take long for Li Anran to take the county bus and carriage to a large mansion in the northeast corner of the county. This place was not small in size and quite majestic.

On the lintel of the mansion, a plaque with the four characters "Gewu Academy" has been hung.

Although the main entrance of the mansion was not open, the two side doors were open. In the short period of time after Li Anran got off the carriage, he saw two waves of people walking in together, many of whom looked dressed.

You know he belongs to the first class of scholars.

In today's Tang Dynasty, scholars from poor families are no longer as difficult to get along as they were in the past when wealthy families controlled their career. As long as you have talent and learning, no matter whether it is official career, agriculture, industry or commerce, there will be a stage for your development. If you can

With the common sense of today's sages, entering the upper echelons of the Tang Dynasty's official career will no longer be an unattainable fantasy.

"How's it going, brother, this place is nice, isn't it." Lin Shufeng looked at someone standing there and looked at the door of the mansion, mistaking him for being shocked, and said with a smile.

"Yes, it's a very nice place. It's actually used as an academy. It seems that the county official attaches great importance to this matter." Li Anran, who pretended not to know, nodded and said.

"Haha... This place was not arranged by the county magistrate, but Shangfeng specifically contacted a big businessman in the county and spent some money to acquire this mansion as an academy." Even if he knows this, he doesn't know it.

Lin Shufeng, who said that the other party would know sooner or later, explained with a smile.

"Oh? It seems that Gewu Academy is indeed as valued by the court as rumored." Li Anran said, pretending to be surprised.

"Yes, the imperial court now values ​​Gewu Academy more than the Imperial Academy. However, there is no comparison between the two. After all, the systems are different." Lin Shufeng, who nodded, answered again.

Regarding this statement, Li Anran, who had spent some time paying attention to the changes that had taken place in the Tang Dynasty during the ten years of seclusion, could easily understand what it meant.

As the highest institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial College was, is, and will remain in the future.

Although Gewu Academy can cultivate a large number of talents in different fields every year, if you want to reach a certain height in the official system of the Tang Dynasty, especially those with real power, you basically have to go to the Imperial College.

This does not mean that the talents cultivated in Gewu Academy will not be as good as those at the Imperial College. This arrangement is due to some kind of security mechanism.

After all, as a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty, one suggestion could have a great impact on the state system and the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for Li Shimin to allow some people with bad intentions and evil intentions to exist around him.

The Imperial College, which was originally the highest institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty, became to a certain extent a place similar to a political review. Only those who have completely passed the corresponding review procedures can finally enter the core management of the Tang Dynasty.

As for whether this will cause a brain drain, there is no need to worry at all. After all, those who can enter the Imperial College are all great talents. Even if they cannot enter the core management, they can still be put down to become officials with real power.

For example, Tao Qingzhu of Anle County lost the opportunity to enter the core management because of some problems in the political review process, and was then "assigned" to Anle County to serve as the county magistrate for several years.

In fact, Tao Qingzhu didn't know, or maybe he knew and was still a little dissatisfied. The past few years as the county magistrate in Anle County were actually part of the political (examination) process. If he passed, he would naturally enter the core management of Datang again.

There is a chance of getting through the next level. If you fail to pass, it will be more miserable.

At best, he will continue to be the county magistrate here in Anle County, but at worst, he will be reassigned to a remote, backward, and desolate small border county to continue to be the county magistrate. If he is lucky,

If you are better, you can take this opportunity to upgrade your official position to one and a half levels.

But even so, it's still miserable.

After all, remote, backward, and desolate frontiers not only have little development potential, but are also a security problem.

Even though Tao Qingzhu, a descendant of an official family, could use some of his family's strength, if he wanted to make a big enough contribution in a place like this, unless it was a big event like a war between two countries, it would be no different from being exiled.

On the contrary, if he had not entered the Imperial College but been directly assigned to serve as an official at the lower level, even if his ability was limited and he did not do very well, his end would not be as miserable as Tao Qingzhu's. And this is exactly what Tao Qingzhu is dissatisfied with.

But it is precisely because of this that Tao Qingzhu has been unable to pass the potential review. To a certain extent, this county official has fallen into an incomprehensible deadlock in his career development.

And Li Anran, no, it should be Li Lingxiao's appearance, happened to break this cycle.

With the appearance of the immortal, it was natural that Anle County, located next to Hengshan Mountain, received Li Shimin's focus.

Especially after the immortals established a sect in Hengshan Academy and finally began to take action in the mortal world, even though Li Shimin did not think that a certain guy would have any impact on his imperial power, the necessary attention and arrangements could not be made at all.

careless.

Therefore, on the surface, Li Lingxiao just got an opportunity to enroll in Gewu Academy. In fact, it was just a plan from the county magistrate Tao Qingzhu to arresting the head Lin Shufeng. After the news reached Chang'an City, the first

At that time, Li Shimin already had many potential arrangements.

"Imperial College? Haha... That's not a place I can think about." Li Anran shook his head and said with a smile.

Faced with such words, Lin Shufeng originally planned to say, "Regardless of your origins as a hero, who can be sure that you, brother, will not be able to enter the Imperial College in the future." But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by a sudden voice from beside him:

"Hmph! It seems that you still have some self-awareness. Some people always think that they can get ahead by relying on their connections to enter the academy. How naive!"

"Huh?!" Upon hearing these obviously provocative words, Lin Shufeng's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around to see who was so bold.

As a result, when I looked at it, I found that the speaker was also a young boy who looked a little naive. However, compared with Li Lingxiao, this one was much better in both body shape and appearance.

Especially when the other party got off the carriage that seemed ordinary, but in fact, upon closer inspection, you could see that it was definitely not something that ordinary rich people could afford. There was a certain magnanimity in every move that the other party made. You didn't need to guess.

The background is certainly not small.

Although Lin Shufeng has a straightforward personality and is very generous, he is not stupid.

Seeing that this scholar was obviously of extraordinary origin, it was very likely that he could not compete with him. Although he was very unhappy with what he had just said, he swallowed back the scolding he was about to blurt out.

Of course, this is also because it was just a dispute of words.

If this young man from an aristocratic family says or does something out of the ordinary, even though Lin Shufeng is just a small catcher, he still has the right to capture him first and then hand it over to the county leader Tao Qingzhu to deal with him.

Worried about retaliation from the other person’s family.

But the other party just made a mockery, and what he said was true. Lin Shufeng was stupid and would do this randomly.

Compared to Lin Shufeng's scruples, Li Anran didn't care at all about what he just said. Instead, he became somewhat interested in the person in front of him.

Although he couldn't feel the scanning of someone's mind, facing that playful look, the boy with handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing couldn't help but have a blush on his face.

Of course, Li Anran's orientation was normal. He was interested in this boy not because he wanted to be gay, but because he was very curious about who he was. He actually disguised himself as a man and came to the academy to ridicule himself.

That's right, the young man who just got off the carriage is a Xibei guy at all!

It's just that some kind of magic weapon that can partially change the human form is used to hide the female characteristics, but this kind of concealment has no effect at all under the scanning of Li Anran's spiritual mind.

Even with just a sweep of his mind, Li Anran not only saw through the other party's true identity as a daughter, he even scanned the other party's body clearly, ensuring that he knew her better than this Xibei guy himself.

Body.
