Those classics and historical books handed down from ancient times have no punctuation marks.

When it is difficult to change the original text, you can also change the sentence fragments.

The breadth and depth of the Chinese language lies within each word. Different sentences and sentences can have two completely opposite meanings.

As long as during the imperial examination, whichever explanation the examiner agrees with will be regarded as "explicit learning".

If you want to do something big, it's still important to gain some status in the academic circle.

Now Sheng Changbai is at the highest and most authoritative place in the academic circles of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It’s not good to waste such good conditions. After his job stabilizes, Sheng Changbai plans to write a book by himself.

Writing a book is, of course, to spread some modern ideas, and it will be easier for those who want to do something and carry out reforms in the future.

Schooling is not an urgent matter, just do it slowly.

Sheng Changbai wasn't planning on just dawdling around. The matter of schooling itself was quite meaningful.

If it weren't for the Zhou Dynasty, the officials would have been unswervingly reviewing, printing, and disseminating books.

The imperial examination would not be so prosperous, nor would so many talents emerge from poor families.

Although the poor family of the Zhou Dynasty was not that "cold".

No matter how you calculate it, the upper class among the common people should at least be able to afford and borrow official textbooks printed by the imperial court, with exquisite workmanship and minimal errors and omissions.

Many sons of ordinary people with no money read pirated private textbooks and passed down various handwritten manuscripts.

I don’t know how many errors and omissions there will be, and the teaching materials are all wrong.

How can we lay a good foundation?

In primary education (county school, state school) where dictation is the most important, it is impossible for these people to pass the exam no matter how hard they study with the wrong version of the textbook.

None of these people can get into the official school, and the simplest way to become a famous teacher is blocked by these people themselves.

All other paths are definitely more difficult than entering a government school.

Most of the poor families come from the branches of aristocratic families, wealthy families doing business, and large and small landowners in the countryside.

However, the official career in the Zhou Dynasty was not completely monopolized by high-ranking families like previous dynasties.

This is already a great progress, and the promotion channels for civilians have truly opened up.

The Sheng family also comes from a poor family, but it is difficult to say that the Sheng family is just an ordinary commoner.

During the change of dynasties, Mrs. Sheng also made a huge fortune.

In Sheng Changbai's generation, all three generations were awarded Jinshi, and the Sheng family became a family of officials.

If a slight mistake were made, the inheritance of the Jinshi examination would be cut off, two generations would be cut off, and the Sheng family would be said to be a poor family again.

The poor people stood up, but there was still a long way to go before the common people could stand up.

It is still difficult for civilians to get ahead. Ordinary civilians simply cannot afford to go to school.

You still have to work hard to make money first, then you can have the possibility of having a rich son from a poor family.

The Zhou Dynasty gave preferential treatment to scholars, but one had to be a Jinshi to enjoy most of the preferential treatment.

County schools, state schools, and even Taixue schools can't recruit many students in total. Even if they do recruit students, they can't provide them with too many subsidies.

Supporting a person to study and study for 20 years, or even 30 to 40 years, is uncertain, and it is not something that a civilian family can afford.

How many "well-off" families have become well-off after several generations of accumulation.

After supporting a scholar, the family can easily return to extreme poverty.

On the first day at work, Sheng Changbai thought about a lot of random things.

I have initially thought about my career plan and will spend a few years at Shao Wen Guan.

During this period, the main task was to study political management and become famous in the literary world.

Then you can apply to be posted abroad and serve one or two terms in a local area, such as general magistrate, prefectural magistrate, prefectural magistrate, or army magistrate.

Then you can return to Bianliang and develop in the central government.

This almost sets a ten-year plan. When this period of time passes, we can then plan for the next ten years based on the situation.

The time of wandering thoughts passed very quickly. Sheng Changbai found the books he needed.

I didn't read a few pages before it was time to go to the office.

After leaving the palace gate, Sheng Changbai did not wait for Sheng Hong and went home together.

Taking a few colleagues I had just met, I rushed to Fanlou.

On the first day of taking office, Sheng Changbai was willing to treat his colleagues to a meal and a drink for the convenience of future work, which was acceptable to Sheng Changbai.

This is considered a necessary communication between colleagues and occurs in any era.

Occasionally, Sheng Changbai has no objection, which is equivalent to going to a KTV in modern times.

But most officials in the Zhou Dynasty had either occasional or daily routine activities.

After get off work, a bunch of people gathered together to eat, drink, and hold various banquets at the brothel.

This has become a social trend. Sheng Changbai treated this privately and spent his own money.

Most of those people eat and drink with public funds, and use the court's money to find courtesans for themselves. This is excessive no matter how you look at it.

Just look at the arrogance and extravagance of these court officials in the Zhou Dynasty.

It is completely impossible to see that the Zhou Dynasty is now surrounded by enemies on all sides and is in embarrassment on all sides.

It can only be said that the life of officials in feudal society was too decadent.

For several years, Sheng Changbai could not adapt to such a life.

It makes sense for the Zhou Dynasty to nationalize high-end brothels like Fanlou.
