Han’s Son is Not a Slave

The book has its own golden house, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu.

For thousands of years, the Han people have followed only one path to stand out, and that is the path of imperial examinations. Since the Ming Dynasty, the idea of ​​"literary and military inferiority" has become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that it is the only way for the Han people to hope that their sons will become dragons. The children of rich families are better. They really can't take the imperial examinations and have other means of making a living, while the children of poor families can only get ahead by studying for the imperial examinations, or they can only continue to be poor like their parents.

Behind every scholar from a poor family, there is an unspeakable blood and tears, parents who live frugally, widowed mothers who work hard...

The imperial examination gave Han scholars a chance to advance to the next level and change their fate. If the scholar does not enter the official ranks, the result will be despair of the future, thus creating a rebellion against the imperial court (such as Huang Chao, Hong Xiuquan, etc.), or turning to the aspirations of aliens (such as Zhang Yuan, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, etc.)

Before the Qing court entered the customs, there were a large number of traitors and literati who made suggestions for it. In the year of entering the customs, Fan Wencheng went to Shu Dorgon to ask for the establishment of the Qing imperial examination, and made the selection of the imperial examination a national policy of the Qing Dynasty. Gathered the Han gentry and asked them to give up the Ming Dynasty on their own, thus allegiance to the Qing Dynasty.

Dorgon agreed with it, and accepted it readily. In the third year of Shunzhi, he would try to recruit people in Beijing. This move made northern China quickly settle down. A large number of scholars who were unwilling to be slaves of the country found that the Qing Dynasty was not only an alien dynasty that did not pay attention to Confucianism, but instead gave them the opportunity to become officials just like the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, under the banner of the sainthood, a large number of scholars picked up their books and buried their heads again. In the imperial examinations of the Manchu court. At that moment, they thought more about how to gain a foothold in the new regime, rather than thinking that I was a Han Chinese, but the court was a Hu people.

After that, every time the Qing army went south to attack a province, even if it only occupied a few prefectures, the imperial examinations would be held after the situation had stabilized for a while, and the examinations would be held in a grand manner, in order to stabilize the local people's hearts and reduce the resistance of the gentry in the occupied areas. If it wasn't for the sudden emergence of the Taiping Army here in Guangdong, I'm afraid that the Guangdong Township Examination has already been held at this moment.

It is foreseeable that under the premise that scholars can only change their fate by becoming an official through the imperial examination, when the Guangdong township examination in the Qing Dynasty began, a large number of Guangdong scholars who lost their qualifications due to the war may be rushing to the imperial examination in the Qing Dynasty. Even those who still hold the old wisdom are afraid to be shaken. After all, the Qing court has been in the customs for more than ten years and owns more than half of China. On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty is still in the sunset and lingering on. Comparing the two, no matter how strong a scholar is, he cannot but consider his own future and the interests of his family.

"To rule the world is to win the hearts of the people, and the scholars are to show the people.

When asking Hong Shiming about the details of the Guangdong Township Examination in the Qing court, the other party said this. After hearing this, Zhou Shixiang was silent. It is true that in order to quickly control the situation and deter the Han people from resisting when conquering the world, the Qing army only used the slaughtering knife; when ruling the world, they had to use the method of winning the hearts and minds of the people, otherwise the slaughtering knife would be sharper and face the surging wind and clouds, going forward one after another" Anti-Qing and Restoring the Ming Movement, the Qing court always has the day to shoot itself in the foot.

The so-called popular sentiments of the Han people have always been those of the gentry. The poor and powerless people have never been the representatives of the popular sentiments. They are accustomed to the gentry to speak for them. Therefore, as long as the gentry, the elite class of the Han nationality, is captured, anyone can win the hearts and minds of the people. The foundation of a gentry is a scholar, a scholar with fame.

After Sun Kewang led the army to the west into Yunnan, he also held the imperial examination. This move also made the people of Yunnan more confident, and scholars took part in the imperial examination of the Daxi Army, instead of asking whether the Daxi Army was a thief, and where the Ming court was.

If a warrior has milk, he is a mother. Whoever gives me food and meat, I will work for whom I will work; a scholar will give me the imperial examinations and let me take the exam, so that I can become an official, or have the hope of becoming an official, and I will devote my allegiance to it. .

Civil and martial arts are not separate ways, they are truly one!

After learning civil and military skills, he sold it to the emperor's family. Since the buyer of the Ming Dynasty is not there, then of course you have to vote for the new buyer of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise, how can you be worthy of your own hard work, how can you be worthy of your parents, wife and children at home!

The same is true for Zhou Shixiang back then. He didn't pay attention to what was unclear about the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and what was the difference between Huayi and Huayi, who could let him participate in the imperial examinations, who could change his status, and who could make his life better. Well, who will he be an official.

If such a change did not occur in Xinhui, Zhou Shixiang at this moment might be looking at the list at the gate of Guangdong Gongyuan, looking for one name after another, with the expectations of parents, wives and children, with great hope, with a longing for the future. ...

"The special purpose of the Holy Dynasty is to test the virtuous, and a team of people will descend to Shouyang. The family will arrange new hats and old articles in the belly." This is the best portrayal of those Han scholars who participated in the Manchu Imperial Examination.

Even if he despised those officials who took the imperial examinations and despised their incompetence, Zhou Shixiang also decided to open the imperial examinations. Of course it's a idiot's dream. At present, the Taiping Army actually owns dozens of counties in the three prefectures, and nominally owns the highest administrative yamen in Guangdong. Good recipe!

It is now the 17th century, when the Ming and Qing Dynasties were changing, and the imperial examination was prosperous. It was impossible for Zhou Shixiang to cancel the imperial examination that everyone wanted, and instead set up various schools and deprive scholars of the only way to become an official through the imperial examination. This move is too advanced. A small step forward is development, but a big step is painful. Even hundreds of years later, there are different college entrance examinations and civil service examinations. Although the form has changed too much, the essence is different. Compared with the hereditary system, which focuses on blood, the inspection system, which focuses on empty morality, and the ninth-rank Zhongzheng system, which focuses on family rank, the imperial examination system can provide the common people with the most cost-effective mechanism for participating in and deliberating on government, and it is more fair, just and harmonious. public.

The harm of the imperial examinations mentioned in the previous life is mostly due to the idea of ​​eight strands of imprisonment. In fact, if we want to be fair, we need standardization; if we want to standardize, formal rigor is inevitable. Judging from the official performance from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination was not a real harm, nor was it because it imprisoned the scholars' thoughts, but because the knowledge of the sages learned by the scholars was really out of date and could not keep up with the development of the times. Carry on.

What you say is not what you believe in your heart, let alone what you do with your feet. The mass production of the feudal imperial examinations is not a nerd, but a large number of hypocrites who are good at calculating.

Nerds have integrity!

Zhou Shixiang had no choice but to hold the imperial examinations, cutting people's fortunes is like killing one's parents, but blocking someone from becoming an official is also like killing one's parents.

Zhou Shixiang wanted to hold the imperial examination, and this move was not just a means to win over the scholars in Guangdong, as Tang Taizong said, "All heroes in the world enter our school". "Being Tian Shelang in the morning and ascending to Tianzitang in the evening" is the dream of every scholar. Zhou Shixiang must never let himself and the Taiping Army become the enemy of the scholar's dream, so he must hold the imperial examination. In a previous life, the imperial examinations were cancelled in the late Qing Dynasty, and as a result, "I Daqing" took pills and farts in just a few years. This lesson is very profound and ironic.

Reforming the imperial examinations or abolishing the imperial examinations before they have cultivated their own new military merit groups and new civil service groups would be self-destructing foundations, a foolish act of self-determining the world's scholars and abandoning the people's hearts. The Taiping Army must gain the allegiance of scholars, so Zhou Shixiang must hold the imperial examination.

The opening of the imperial examination was Zhou Shi's compromise relative to this era; pragmatism was Zhou Shi's innovation relative to this era. It is unrealistic to completely abolish the old Bagu. After all, all the current scholars are educated in Bagu, and these people will definitely not be able to adapt to the new exam questions, and they will have to wait for those children who have accepted the new Bagua and the second teaching materials from the age of seven. It took too long to grow up, and Zhou Shishi couldn't afford it, so he could only be moderate.

The establishment of Guangdong University Hall, the implementation of new-style education and the holding of the Guangdong Rural Examination were carried out at the same time. Zhou Shixiang asked Song Xianggong to organize the Guangdong Rural Examination at the end of August. Ability to give office.

Before going to Zhaoqing to meet with Linghai General Chen Qice and Zhenguo General Zhu Tong, Zhou Shixiang ordered the Minister of Political Envoys to issue an order in the form of legal provisions, that is, to encourage the people under his rule to have more children, and those who give birth to women will be rewarded. This regulation is called "Guangdong Family Planning Regulations".

The regulations clearly stipulate that couples must have more children, and the minimum requirement is to have three children, and those with less than three children must bear 20% more than other households. Those who have more than three births will enjoy the corresponding reduction in land tax for each additional birth. In other words, the more births, the more benefits the household will enjoy. Not only do they not have to pay taxes to the government, but they can also get material rewards from the government. In addition, the war dividends are also distributed among the heads, even babies who are only one day old can enjoy the war dividends of the Taiping Army.

More children and more fields~www.wuxiaspot.com~More children and more pigs... A series of slogans and slogans were spread from the military commander's house one by one. As a result, a few months later, some villages actually appeared "one family does not have children". , the whole village will be jailed," such absurd slogans came out.

The subordinates are puzzled by the fact that Uncle Xingping is not busy with important matters, but instead spends several days in the house doing family planning and writing some ridiculous slogans. Having children is a matter of husband and wife. How can outsiders do this? Heart, how many people give birth to is a matter of other people, is the uncle being too lenient?

In this regard, Zhou Shi explained to his subordinates that China has been China since ancient times, and the Han people refer to the brilliant Han people. The day when Manchuria led the troops of the Eight Banners into Shanhaiguan and Dingding Beijing was the great day when the Han people of our country were subjugated! Manchuria slaughtered my Huanghan, causing my population to plummet, and the population is the backbone of the Huanghan. Without the population, how can the Huanghan family live in China, and how can I continue to prosper from generation to generation. Therefore, Bengbo promulgated the family planning regulations, which is to let the Huanghan family have more children and more children, so as to have enough population strength to resist any foreign attack on our country, and to live in China with sufficient population strength, without worrying about the day of extinction and genocide. .
