In the Song Dynasty, there was no law or order.

Chapter 20 Allocating student places

"Fake a nini village?"

"good."

Yan Shu nodded and said: "Based on my testing of Zhao Jun, I found that he doesn't seem to know much about the situation in Nini Village. He doesn't know how many people there are in the village or what the children look like. We can build a project based on this." A Nini Village comes out.”

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "This is what Zhao Jun said about the movie script."

"Yes."

Yan Shu nodded: "Didn't Zhao Jun talk about Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan music, Ming and Qing novels? But he probably didn't know that our Goulan already had operas, and there were also writers who wrote music. They imitated the music and wrote a Nini Village. Maybe it should be possible.”

Lu Yijian couldn't help but ask: "But can opera be the same as reality? Do we understand their situation? What if flaws are exposed?"

Yan Shu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I have collected a lot of information. As far as I know, the place where Zhao Jun goes to teach is at the junction of Dali and Tubo, southwest of Chengdu Fulu Road. The residents there are Tubo and southwestern Yi." A thousand years later, they were called Tibetans and Yis, two of the fifty-six ethnic groups in the People's Republic of China."

"Is that all? What else?"

Lu Yijian asked again.

"The people in the village are Tibetan and Yi people. If there are ten children in the village, then there must be at least five pairs of families. Plus the elderly and families with adult children, the village population should be between one and two hundred people. about."

Yan Shu continued: "We can write names and make up life experiences for these people. They always live in the mountains and forests. It is normal for them to not know much about the outside world. There should be no loopholes."

"Are you looking for one or two hundred people? Even if you can find that many people, it would be too difficult to write names and life experiences for each of them, and ask them to read and memorize them skillfully. What's more, there are many people, and once they are exposed, this pair It’s not a good thing for Song Dynasty.”

Everyone frowned.

Zhao Jun's matter is now the top secret of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Zhen issued a hush-hush order. Except for the three highest-ranking monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan were given special exceptions.

Even Zhao Zhen's most trusted and close eunuch Wang Shouzhong didn't know the specific situation, and the guards and imperial doctors were even more secretive about the other party's origins.

How could such a secret be known to outsiders?

"No, because I have made some insinuations and learned that in later generations, villages in remote mountainous areas had a large population flow. Young people and middle-aged people often went out to work, and those left behind were basically the elderly and children. So I thought I would choose ten children, plus ten Just one or twenty adults will do. As for confidential matters."

Yan Shu paused and then said: "Then we can only let them live in the palace first, and the old people will take care of themselves in the palace. As for the children, if they can learn some knowledge under Zhao Jun's knees, they may become the pillars of the Song Dynasty in the future. Their talents are of great use to the country. When they grow up in a few years, they will naturally know what to say and what not to say. "

Lu Yijian thought: "Well, this way the confidentiality problem is solved. Are they just old people and children? It's okay for the old people, we old guys can come and make up the number, but for children..."

"Don't we all have children in our families?"

Wang Sui said something.

Lu Yijian looked around and said, "Our families do have some descendants, but let's not talk about whether our families can find outstanding children of the right age. Even if we can find them, how can we teach them not to reveal their secrets?"

"As for Zhao Jun's secret, your children should be watched by yourself and must not be leaked. As for what you say in front of Zhao Jun, say less and ask more."

Yan Shu said: "We must give you many instructions and don't talk too much. We are all present. We can pretend to be parents and ask questions on behalf of the children. If it doesn't work, there are good ventriloquists in Beijing. Just ask them to answer in children's voices."

"No."

Zhao Zhen frowned and said: "Zhao Jun's matter is top secret. Only a few people know it. How can outsiders know it? If he is silenced, how can he deserve it?"

Yan Shu said: "Then we can only let the children talk less. But as far as I know, primary schools in later generations are equivalent to elementary schools. It should be enough to find children aged eight to fourteen and let them live in the palace for a while. If Being able to learn and achieve something is a good thing for the country.”

Upon hearing these words, Lu Yijian's eyes suddenly rolled.

Zhao Jun is now a hot commodity. Not only does the emperor value him, his own value is immeasurable. Not only being familiar with the history of future generations, but also having the knowledge of the future in your head can make the country strong.

The most important thing is that Zhao Jun is a descendant of the Zhao family. Even though he dislikes his ancestors, to Zhao Zhen, he is also one of the descendants of Taizu, equivalent to his own nephew.

People say they are related by generations, dozens of generations apart. Zhao Zhen must regard himself as an ancestor and has a certain natural affection for Zhao Jun, his younger nephew.

Even though Zhao Jun insulted Zhao Zhen several times before, the officials finally tolerated it and promised to reuse Zhao Jun in the future.

Such a figure is likely to soar into the sky after his eyesight is restored in the future, and he will even become a pivotal figure in Renzong's dynasty, with unlimited potential in the future.

If his nephew could be allowed to worship Zhao Jun as his teacher and form such an alliance of interests, the Lu family's status would probably last forever in the future.

Although the power of the aristocratic families has been weakened after the Song Dynasty, it does not mean that they do not exist.

The most typical example is Lü Yijian himself, who has been an official for generations. His uncle Lü Mengzheng was the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, and his descendants and nephews all served as officials in the court.

There is also the Han Qi family, which has been an official for generations from the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and the Han family can only be regarded as a middle-level official family. The Jia Changchao family, the Zhang Dexiang family, and the Wang Dan family are all high-ranking children from the late Tang Dynasty.

It can be said that from the beginning of the Song Dynasty to the present, there are very few people who can become prime ministers from humble backgrounds, and there are many children from official families. It cannot be said that high-ranking officials are monopolized by children from official families, but at least their influence is still there.

It’s just that the phenomenon of five surnames and seven families like the Tang Dynasty, where one surname produced several prime ministers and dozens of middle and senior officials, no longer exists, and the aristocratic families have been weakened a lot.

Even families such as the Han family and the Lü family, which are known as prime minister families in the Northern Song Dynasty, only produced three to six, and the time span is very long, so it is basically difficult to form a power monopoly.

But it is undeniable that there is a bond of interest between these senior officials and the children of official families, and the bond is often formed through mutual marriage.

For example, the Lu family has in-laws with the Zhao Anren family, the Wang Dan family, the Ma Liang family, the Zhang Shixun family, the Lu Zongdao family, and the Dingdu family.

Even later, Han Qi's son Han Zhongyan married Lu Yijian's granddaughter. It can be seen that such political marriages are still a community of interests between the high-ranking officials of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time.

It was this political alliance that led to the failure of Fan Zhongyan's future reforms.

After all, what these official families want to ensure is that their children can still become high-ranking officials in the future. Fan Zhongyan wants to break the system of high-ranking officials' children entering the officialdom through family ties, which is undoubtedly destroying their rice bowls.

From the perspective of interests, Lu Yijian actually doesn't want Fan Zhongyan to reform and break the power of their official families.

But from the current situation, the existence of Zhao Jun will make the official family firm in their reforms.

Then the shrewd Lu Yijian has to consider his family.

If you want your family to prosper, you have to have a big thigh with potential in the future.

Who is a bigger thigh than Zhao Jun?

If your grandson is Zhao Jun's student, and your daughter or granddaughter is Zhao Jun's wife, then the status of the Lu family in the future will not be?

It's a pity that I only have one daughter, who is already married, and the oldest granddaughter is only nine years old..

"Your Majesty, I have three grandchildren, who are just the right age."

Lü Yijian immediately recommended that his third son Lü Gongzhu, fourth son Lü Gongru and youngest son Lü Gongyu were not married and had children, but his eldest son Lü Gongchuo and second son Lü Gongbi had children, and they should be brought out to Zhao Jun as students.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zeng also said: "Your Majesty, I also have four grandchildren who are suitable."

"Your Majesty, I have too."

"Although I don't have as many children as Lu Gongwanggong, I also have two grandchildren, and I am willing to send them out."

Wang Sui, Cai Qi, Sheng Du, and Song Shou also followed up immediately.

They are all old foxes who have been in the officialdom for many years. How could they not think of what Lu Yijian could think of?

Everyone knows that it is only good for their family to have a good relationship with Zhao Jun at this time. How can you enjoy the cake alone?

So several people are scrambling to let their children get some benefits at this time.

Zhao Zhen is not stupid. He thought about it for a while and understood it. After thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "Well, the fewer people know about Zhao Jun's affairs, the better. It is appropriate to let the descendants of the nobles come."

As he said, he looked at Yan Shu again, but said in some confusion: "Didn't Lord Yan send his descendants?"

Yan Shu grinned: "I think that there are too many descendants of the nobles, and it is not good to talk nonsense to their families after returning. So I think it is best to let these people come from the same clan, so that everyone lives together and it is easy to keep secrets. I am not talented, but I have more than 20 grandchildren, and I am willing to select ten people to be Zhao Jun's students."

Damn!

As soon as these words came out, including Lü Yijian, Wang Zeng and others, they almost peed themselves.

You Yan Shu, you want to eat alone, right!

Is this something a human would do?

I’ll beat you up, monkey, if I don’t beat you up today, you won’t know why the flowers are so red.

Everyone had fierce looks on their faces, staring at Yan Shu, rubbing their hands, and eager to try.
