The Country Maiden: Fields and Leisure

At the beginning of our dynasty, the headmaster of Baiyun Academy and the civil officials from Baiyun Academy, perhaps due to the longstanding prestige of Baiyun Academy, seemed to have their heads turned. During the court’s announcement to recruit talents and widely accept notable figures from all over, they refused arrogantly. They even proclaimed that unless the court humbly invited them three times and recognized Baiyun Academy as the best academy in the world, none of their students would enter the court to serve as officials.

And then...

There was no then.

The court wasn’t run by Baiyun Academy. Many people with both literary and martial skills were willing to serve the imperial family.

What was a Baiyun Academy?

Not to mention that at this time, the headmaster of Changqing Academy had great foresight. When Baiyun Academy fiercely embarrassed the court, he stepped up, voluntarily submitting to the court, offering a few good plans, and gifting the court with several collections of books treasured by Changqing Academy for years.

Compared to this, the court naturally chose Changqing Academy.

They accepted the good plans from Changqing Academy and gathered all the talents, except those from Baiyun Academy, into the court.

The scholars from other places, who had been overshadowed by those from Baiyun Academy for years, finally had the chance to rise. Who the hell cared if it was the former dynasty or the current one?
