Chapter Eleven?? Useless
"Brother Chunhua, where have you been to these days? Why are you looking so sad and having any troubles?
Looking at Su Chunhua with a frustrated look and his expression was obviously bad, Pei Changhao spoke with a smile. It should be said that within the scope of the market town and Heluo Village, it is unlikely that anyone would cause trouble for Su Chunhua.
Su Chunhua looked at Pei Changhao and sighed a long time, with still worried face, and did not answer immediately.
Su Chunhua's sigh obviously had a bit of a pretentious taste, which made Pei Changhao a little impatient. Although he had not seen Su Chunhua for nearly ten days and occasionally thought about what Su Chunhua had done, during this period, Pei Changhao has mainly thought about his own way out and choices, and was always confused, not in a good mood, and not very stable mood.
"If you want to say it, just say it. If you have any trouble, go aside and don't bother me."
As soon as Pei Changhao finished speaking, a forced smile quickly piled up on Su Chunhua's face.
"Brother Chang Hao, don't, I went to the county town a few days ago. I went on a horse. My uncle asked me to go to the county school to study, but I really don't like studying. So I ran back secretly."
Looking at Su Chunhua with a sad expression, Pei Changhao really didn't know what to say.
"Brother Chunhua, it's not that I'm talking about you. Many people in the market town and village want to study. They are not qualified and cannot afford money. If you have the opportunity, you don't want to study. What should you say? By the way, why do you have to go to the county town to study? Can't you hire a teacher in the village?"
Su Chunhua looked at Pei Changhao, as if he was looking at an alien.
"Brother Chang Hao, do you really don't know, or pretend to be stupid. Don't say that there are no schools in the village, and there are only schools in the county. Besides, those who can go to the county government school are not ordinary people. They must guarantee the elderly and Li Zheng, and the county government school will only accept them."
While speaking, Su Chunhua showed a proud look on her face.
Pei Changhao frowned slightly and suddenly understood something.
In the late Tang Dynasty, wars broke out everywhere, and people were more concerned about martial arts and less about literature. Unless it was a prominent family, no one would spend money on running schools in other towns and villages. It was a purely thankless thing.
"Brother Chunhua, since Master Li Zheng asked you to study in the county, then you should study hard."
Su Chunhua shook her head.
"The requirements of the county government school are very strict. If you don't study hard and cannot get the appraisal of Lord Changshi, you will not be qualified to take the exam of the government office. If you cannot take the exam of the government office, you will not be a real scholar. I, I cannot get the appraisal of Lord Changshi..."
"So, Brother Chunhua, you have to seize the opportunity and think of a way to get the clerk of Lord Changshi, take the examination in the government office, and become a real scholar."
Su Chunhua looked at Pei Changhao with surprise on his face and almost jumped up.
"Brother Chang Hao, what do you mean? I made fun of me. Do you think I don't want to be a scholar. I went to the county school ten years ago, but I really can't do it. Besides, my cousin has been studying in the county school. There is nothing I have to do with this town or village. If you want to talk about those scholars who passed the imperial examination and Jinshi, they are all gods from heaven who came to earth, so how can I get my turn?"
Pei Changhao frowned again.
"Brother Chunhua, only those scholars can become officials, have a future, and don't have to stay in the village. Could it be that you think about staying in the village for the rest of your life?"
Su Chunhua nodded helplessly.
"What can I do? I can't study, so I can only stay in the village. When my cousin comes back in the future, I will help you."
Pei Changhao pretended not to understand, looked at Su Chunhua and spoke quite seriously.
"Brother Chunhua, Lord Li Zheng asked you to study at the county government school, and you had good intentions. In the future, there will be more and more things in this town and village. The elders and Lord Li Zheng are too busy and always need people to help you. You become a scholar and help Lord Li Zheng do things. It is legitimate. Do you think so?"
Su Chunhua shook her head desperately.
"Brother Chang Hao, I have known this for a long time, but my cousin has a bad temper."
Speaking of this, Su Chunhua remembered something and kept silent.
Wu Changhao did not continue to ask, "If the father dies and the son is replaced, Li Zheng will definitely let his son take over the position. Su Chunhua stays in the village and is destined to be a follower for the rest of his life, and it depends on his cousin's expression.
"Brother Chunhua, since you don't want to study in the county school and come back privately, you have to tell Master Li Zheng that this is the rule, you understand."
Su Chunhua nodded.
"I'll listen to you, so I'll report to my uncle. Actually, I want to be a scholar. I'm really envious of those scholars in the county school, who are majestic and majestic, but I really can't study and can't remember anything."
Looking at the envious expression on Su Chunhua's face, Pei Changhao smiled slightly.
"Brother Chunhua, if you can't study, you can find other ways out. Everything is inferior, but you have high school education. I don't know how many people this sentence has harmed. Could it be that if you don't study, you will have no way out? Brother Chunhua, I will tell you one more thing, that is, a scholar is useless."
Su Chunhua suddenly widened his eyes, looked at Pei Changhao, and took a breath.
"Brother Chang Hao, you must not say this. Scholars are gods in heaven. If you hear these words, they will be in trouble."
Pei Changhao smiled coldly.
"Brother Chunhua, there is nothing wrong with my words. Half a month ago, we wiped out bandits at the village head. If we meet a scholar who doesn't know how to adapt and has no power to tie a chicken, what will the ending look like? So, scholars are not omnipotent, especially those scholars who lack experience, are self-righteous, and pursue perfection, will not do it."
Su Chunhua seemed to understand but didn't understand, and looked at Pei Changhao intently.
"Brother Chunhua, studying is not the only way out. Didn't you say you have joined the army before? Could it be that we rely on those scholars to fight on the battlefield? We still need strong people to fight on."
When Pei Changhao said this, Su Chunhua finally understood.
After pursing his mouth, Su Chunhua spoke.
"Brother Chang Hao, I understand what you mean, but I think it's better for scholars. Just talk about killing enemies, scholars can command the situation behind them. Those who go to the battlefield are not those who don't study but only have brute force."
Pei Changhao laughed and patted Su Chunhua on the shoulder hard.
"You can teach me, and studying is of course a good thing. Otherwise, if the villagers want to study in the county school, why do you still need to recommend it to the elders and Li Zheng? Well, I won't say much, you can go to Li Zheng to report it."
After Su Chunhua left, Pei Changhao returned to the house and closed the door.
Looking at ancient Chinese history, since the Tang Dynasty, studying has been the best choice for outstanding people. If you can pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi and become an official in the court, you will truly glorify your ancestors.
In ancient times, there were three purposes for reading. The first was to make oneself knowledge, level, and capable. The second was to improve one's status, gain power, and live a good life through reading. The third was to expand social relations through reading.
If you make a name for yourself in peacetime, it is undoubtedly the best choice. As long as you gain the fame of a scholar, even if you don’t enter the court to be an official, you can live a comfortable and comfortable life. The transcendent status of a scholar makes ordinary people dare not provoke you, but in a chaotic world, it is not certain. Once a war comes, people will ignore whether you are a scholar or not, and it will only take a minute to kill you.
Moreover, according to Su Chunhua, those who can go to the county school to study are basically the children of the powerful and powerful, and at least they are children of the elderly and the family members of the Lizheng family. The children of ordinary people are not even qualified to study. This is a typical class solidification. The children of the powerful and powerful families have long had their own interest groups. The purpose of their study is to consolidate the power of the family, and they will not devote themselves to the court.
Pei Changhao now has two choices. The first is to be a rich man and live a paradise. The second is to strengthen his own strength and survive in troubled times.
To achieve these two goals, reading is obviously not possible.
To put it bluntly, if a full-scale war breaks out, Pei Changhao would rather choose to be a tough bandit than a literary scholar.
The unexposed identity has shackled Pei Changhao's choice, and even if he wants to study, it is unlikely that he will be able to do so.
The choice of seeking power by studying and becoming an official has been completely denied.
Moreover, the two hegemons in the first twenty years of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, King Li Keyong of Jin and King Zhu Wen of Liang, were not scholars. To put it bluntly, both of them were rough people, but these two were the strongest at present.
This is an era when heroes emerge in troubled times, and reading is not the most important thing.
Pei Changhao was undecided to go to Liangzhou to find his second uncle Pei Wo and seek protection.
The nominal father Pei Che made a fatal wrong choice at a critical moment, supported Li Ying and became the minister of the court. Ping Zhangshi, but the whole family was killed. Before the accident, he asked Pei Changhao to surrender to Pei Wo, which may not be a careful decision. Thinking from the perspective of others, if Pei Changhao encounters such a thing, his first choice is to hide and hide his identity. After the situation calms down, he will look for opportunities.
Besides, Liangzhou is now controlled by Li Keyong. Li Keyong is extremely powerful, but his mind is not very clear. Otherwise, he would not have been bewitched by Wang Chongrong and led his troops to attack Chang'an and forced Emperor Xizong of Tang to leave the capital for the second time. If Pei Changhao went to Liangzhou, the matter would not be completely confidential. Li Keyong knew about this, and someone was bewitched by others. Pei Changhao was finished, and Pei Wo might be implicated.
In a chaotic world, destiny must be controlled by oneself. If you travel through Pei Changhao's body, you cannot choose this. You will become the son of a criminal or even the target of the court. This cannot be reversed, but you can grasp how to choose the next path.
The fist hit the table hard, and Pei Changhao knew that he had to make a choice as soon as possible.
