Fight the Giants

  Chapter 666 Different ethnology

   Mrs. Tai was shocked after hearing Huo Xi's words.

  She had always thought that the siblings were being raised outside, fearing that they were not familiar with them and would not be interested in the family. I didn't expect to be able to think so long for the family.

   "You can do whatever you want. Your father knows and will agree."

   "I have written to my father and asked him to show me."

"very good."

Huo Xi glanced at her, and said: "I know that the rise of the family was inseparable from the support of the Wang family. This time the family study is reopened, let the children of the Wang family come to the school, and they will be treated the same as the children of the Zhang family. In addition, most of the descendants of the Wang clan are proficient in boxing and martial arts, and I also intend to invite them to come and give lectures."

   Mrs. Tai was stunned for a while.

Nodding excitedly: "You can think like this, you can actually think like this... I will write a letter to your uncle, and ask him to cooperate with you! The elders of the Zhang clan, I will also ask someone to inform you. If there is any arrangement, just ask them to cooperate!"

  Huo Xi nodded, discussed some things with her, and then left with Huo Nian.

  After the two left, Mrs. Tai pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, unable to hide her excitement. With the support of the Zhang family, the Wang family will definitely become different.

  Busy people to grind ink.

  Out of the ancestral hall, Huo Nian took Huo Xi's hand and shook it: "Why did my sister say that this was my idea?"

Huo Xi smiled: "My sister is just a girl, so having such a false name is a burden. This is beneficial to the clan, and it will help everyone remember your achievements, so that your position as the eldest son can be secured. We haven't been in touch with each other for years. When it comes to the clansmen, the clansmen have always held a wait-and-see attitude towards you as the son of the clan, and only by winning over the clansmen can you gain the support of the clansmen."

  Huo Nian pursed his lips and rubbed against Huo Xi's arm, "My mother is not here, but I have a sister."

  Huo Xi stroked his head with some emotion: "Your sister will be well when you are well. Only then can I be my sister's strong backing in the future."

  If my grandfather's family hadn't been in trouble, my mother wouldn't have ended up like that.

   Both siblings thought of their poor mother at this time.

  Huo Nian nodded emphatically: "Sister, don't worry, Nian'er will rely on her in the future!"

"good."

  The letter that Huo Xi sent to Zhang Fu was also delivered to him.

  When Zhang Fuzhan read the letter, he was also stunned.

   To Zhang Jin, a confidant, he said with emotion: "It's because I, as a father, didn't do enough, that made my daughter so exhausted and worried about these things."

  Zhang Jin read Huo Xi's letter, "It was suggested by the eldest lady?" Wasn't it suggested by the prince?

Zhang Fu shook his head, "Nian'er can't think of such a long-term. He is a piece of jade, but he still needs time to practice. Although he has lived in an ordinary family these years, his adoptive parents dote on him and treat him like a son. Be thoughtful for him everywhere, he has never experienced the pain of his daughter, so he can't think of these things."

   This kind of idea of ​​winning people's hearts and killing birds with one stone can only be thought of by a daughter who has gone through all kinds of hardships.

   "I'm sorry for her." Let her endure this at a young age.

He read the letter again, and told Zhang Jin: "Tomorrow, you will go back to the mansion in person to help Nanna run the ethnology. Just do it according to her ideas. Change the original house in West Street to ethnology. Tell the accountant of the outer court that all the property needed to run the ethnology will come from the public office. If you need any manpower, you can help mobilize it."

"yes."

  The next morning, when Huo Xi woke up, someone told her that Zhang Jin was back and was waiting to see her.

  Huo Xi didn't expect Zhang Fu to send him back so early in the morning.

   "Uncle Jin."

   "I've seen Missy."

  Zhang Jin looked at Huo Xixiao, this is the demeanor of everyone's women, and he was very pleased.

   "The Duke said to let his subordinates listen to the arrangement of the eldest lady. If you want people to ask for money and things, just say nothing. In addition, the Duke said that the old house at home should be used for ethnology."

  Huo Xi was a little surprised, "Is the whole house used as an ethnology?"

  That house is the Zhang family's old house, which was bought by grandfather with his own money when he led a large family to the capital. Huo Xi was also born there and lived a happy childhood for several years.

  Later, Zhang Fu was granted the title of Lord Marquis, and only then was he granted the present house.

   "That house is not small, and there are seven entrances."

Zhang Jin nodded: "My lord said that since the eldest lady allows the Wang family to be treated the same as the children of the Zhang family, and also allows the children of the generals and lieutenant soldiers to join the school, the place will not be small. And the eldest lady wants to use martial arts Focusing on learning, it is necessary to build a large martial arts arena. The house also has dormitories for teachers and students, residences for servants, offices, training rooms, etc., and I am afraid that it is not enough."

  Huo Xi nodded: "We run the family school, and we also recruit the children of family generals and lieutenant soldiers to join the school. Will this cause unnecessary trouble?"

  Huo Xi was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble and making people criticize Zhang Fu.

Zhang Jin smiled: "Miss, don't worry, all clans in Beijing have ethnology, and they also allow foreign surnames and in-laws to join the school. Scholars don't say that they form cliques. We mainly focus on martial arts. The emperor is still martial arts. If you learn about this, you will only be happy. Don’t worry about outsiders’ gossip.”

   "That's good."

  There are many academies in central Beijing, and Huo Xi doesn't want to compete with them for business. Instead, they want to turn the Zhang Clan School into a martial arts academy, at least focusing on martial arts.

  Although both the founding emperor of the David Dynasty and the current emperor are martial artists, those who have been in charge of the imperial power since ancient times would not want to see the people martial arts, for fear that the imperial power will be overthrown. National policy has always been to emphasize literature over military affairs.

   Throughout the dynasties, there has never been a serious martial arts academy.

  Although the Wei Dynasty had military exercises, they were almost useless.

  In the history that Huo Xi knew, the Ming Dynasty, where the emperor guarded the country, only started to pay attention to martial arts after the Tumu Fortress Change and Yingzong was taken into captivity.

  The source of generals in the Wei Dynasty at this time was still hereditary. They were selected from the families of the honored nobles, from the hereditary thousand households, hundreds of households, and various military households in the Weisuo.

  Military officers are not as high as civil officials, and Wu Jinshi is naturally not as respected as Wen Jinshi, but only a few hundred people can pass the imperial examination every year. If you can provide a way for scholars, there is nothing wrong with it.

  Martial arts are no longer in name only. Those who pass the martial arts exam will be awarded positions, and those who pass the exam can also receive a salary. For people with poor family background and no talent in the imperial examination, there is really one more choice.

  The Zhang family was originally a family of military generals, and every year they recommended their clansmen to join the army. Instead of looking for talented people to be generals, it is better to train them by themselves.

  Use the name of Huo Nian to set up ethnology. In the future, these people will be trained and used by the prince.

  Huo Xi was just about to start discussing with Zhang Jin about family studies, and another servant came in to report that the patriarch of the Wang clan and several clans of the Zhang family had grown old.

   Mrs. Tai didn't see any guests, and Zhang Fu's three brothers were not at home, so Huo Xi called Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Wu to come and receive the guests together. When sending someone to invite them, he also told them the reason.

  Hou Shi and Xiao Wu Shi only thought it was the idea of ​​the Duke of the State, so they came to entertain guests without thinking too much.
