Next is Su Xun. Compared with his world-famous eldest son Su Shi, his brilliance seems to be overshadowed.

However, he and his two sons were both recognized as one of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties, and his talent and learning were never inferior to anyone else.

[He is the only one among the Eight Great Masters who failed the imperial examination, and the only one among the Eight Great Masters who made almost no political achievements. But his articles are still famous all over the world and passed down to later generations. He is Su Xun.]

【Compared to Su Shi's brilliant achievements, Su Xun seems a little embarrassed. People's impression of him is based on a passage in the Three Character Classic: Su Laoquan, at the age of twenty-seven, began to study hard. In fact, Su Xun was not only a good father, but also a great man himself. Ouyang Xiu even compared him with Xunzi. He focused on thought and writing, and his articles were profound. He was a unique thinker among the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song.】

Everyone sighed: Of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties, this father and son alone account for nearly half of the places! !

Look at how other people raise their sons!

Fathers of every dynasty looked at their sons and suddenly felt that they could do it too!

Just like Su Xun, fathers also began to give their children earnest teachings, take their sons to travel to famous mountains and rivers, etc.

The results are quite different.

Some people, after seeing the wonders of the world, are even more reluctant to enter the officialdom. One person walks farther and farther away on the road of hiking, and his father can't stop him. He can only go home in tears and open a small account again...

Some people never want to go out again after going there once, not to mention the fatigue from the long journey and all kinds of snakes and insects.

I even encountered bandits on the road, and I was lucky to be able to survive after crawling around...

Some people set out with great enthusiasm to Zhou Jinyu's hometown, Yuzhou in Lingnan, and then...

There's no after that……

Some people are more amorous and have many romantic relationships along the way. They think they are very free and easy, but they get sick as soon as they come back, and soon they die!

Some people began to feel that the four elements were empty while swimming, and finally shaved their heads, became monks and went to seek the boundless Buddhist teachings.

When his father chased him to the temple, he only heard the other party say indifferently: "Donor, my name is Liaochen." His eyes suddenly turned black and he almost fainted.

Finally, I had no choice but to return, constantly comforting myself: It’s okay, I still have my son…

Others suddenly realized through the mountains and rivers that life is short and being an official is not what they want, so they

After this ordeal, the fathers calmed down. There was nothing they could do if they didn’t calm down. Not everyone is like Su Shi or Su Zhe…

Forget it, let's just leave it at that. As long as there aren't any troubles, the family line can be passed on.

Maybe the next generation will have talents like the Eight Great Masters~~

After Su Xun, it was Zeng Gong's turn.

Speaking of this person, Zhou Jinyu himself was not very familiar with him. After watching the introduction in the video, he suddenly felt that he still lacked knowledge.

[Zeng Gong possessed both the purity of Confucianism and a natural calmness, so he was highly respected by Zhu Xi, a great Neo-Confucianist.

Zhu Xi believed that Zeng Gong's articles were extremely brilliant, and that since Mencius and Han Yu, no other author had surpassed him.

The History of Song Dynasty commented on Zeng Gong: His words are between those of Ouyang Xiu and Wang Anshi, and his writings are slow but not tedious, simple but profound, and he has created his own style, which is rare.

Readers: Anyway, it is a height that we cannot reach...

The dynasties before the Song Dynasty sighed again: These are all unparalleled talents, why did the Song Dynasty have to win?

It would be fine if it was a powerful dynasty, but it was so weak that anyone could take a bite!

Zhao Kuangyin was both happy and upset. He was happy because the Song Dynasty was full of talented people, but he was upset because the Song Dynasty, which was full of talented people, was in turmoil...

Kublai Khan and Zhenjin were discussing the imperial examination. The Yuan Dynasty still needed a lot of talents.

Moreover, the selection of talents must be regardless of their nationality, otherwise it will cause conflicts among ethnic groups.

In addition, since they are foreigners, the imperial examination must be even more fair and just.

To tell everyone in the world that he, Dayuan, is eager for talents.

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty went crazy again, and they buried their heads in studying, hoping that they could also read as talented as the Eight Great Masters~~

The happiest people were the imperial court and the merchants. The prices of pens, inkstones, and paper rose sharply. The prices of everything related to studying increased several times. Even the various places with the words "high school champion" and "examination champion" were also very expensive.

Such as some No. 1 Scholar Cake, No. 1 Scholar Wine, No. 1 Scholar Vegetables and other foods.

This caused protests from some scholars from poor families.

The protests soon turned into fights, and the court was forced to send troops to suppress them.

The consequences have made some people even more resentful...

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sky curtain with an unclear expression: This sky curtain is a double-edged sword.

The ministers were also on edge; those students were really too noisy!

The Qing Dynasty no longer had time to care about anything else.

Kangxi's mind was mostly occupied by opium.

Qianlong finally felt better and lay down to read Su Shi's collection of works.

Yongyan was so busy that he could hardly be seen.

After Zhou Jinyu finished reading the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties, he continued reading the next one: "The tenth one is Burigude of the Yuan Dynasty."

Kublai Khan was delighted: This is a Mongolian name! What would he ask?

Burigude is an ordinary herdsman on the grassland. If it were not for the sky curtain that allows everyone to recognize words and understand Mandarin, his life would remain unchanged.

Nowadays, under the influence of the Mongolian-Han family ties in the sky, the exchanges between many herdsmen and some Han people are becoming more frequent.

Burigude was an idealistic herdsman. His greatest wish was to see how Mongolian herdsmen lived in later generations.

The other herdsmen also stopped what they were doing and looked at the sky intently.

His request was simple, and Zhou Jinyu played him a video of the life of the herdsmen in Inner Mongolia.

Kublai Khan also opened his eyes wide and watched carefully. Because the previous Nadam was an event, there were crowds of people everywhere, and he didn't see how ordinary herdsmen lived at all.

The video of the sky curtain begins.

There are very few yurts on the vast grassland, and many modern herdsmen basically live in small flats with brick-concrete structures.

The home appliances inside are similar to those in other urban households. An ordinary herder's family was allocated 2300 acres of pasture, and they rented another 600 acres. However, after the pasture was distributed to each household, everyone no longer herded. The pasture was divided into various areas with wire, and the cattle and sheep were driven into another area for grazing according to the changes in seasons and pastures, thus forming a virtuous circle.

In this way, cattle and sheep have grass to eat in every season.

The herdsman has more than 170 sheep, more than 70 cows and 8 horses.

With the development of modern society, many herdsmen have started tourism business.

Countless tourists flocked to the grassland to experience the unique customs and culture. The tourists returned with great satisfaction, and the herdsmen made a lot of money.

Burigude and other herdsmen fell into silence as they watched the herdsmen of later generations laughing and dancing with the people from all over the world.

Are these the herdsmen of later generations?

There is almost no difference between them and the Han people... there is no hatred, no hostility.

Burigude's eyes turned red.

Kublai Khan was silent for a long time, so long that everyone looked at him in surprise.
