Chapter 14: The Nasty Prefectural Order

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The gong sounded eleven times in a row.

Lin Yanchao knew that this evil feudal society was clearly hierarchical. If the seven-pin county official goes to the countryside, the gong will sound seven, but if the five-pin prefect goes to the countryside, it will sound nine. When the officials at the provincial level went to the countryside, they sounded the gong eleven times.

My God, didn't you say that the envoy was only on the same level as the prefect? How can you ring the gong eleven times, it depends on the fact that people are from the province. Even if you are a province and have a lot of power and are not controlled by the Fuyuan, you can't do that.

When he saw the title plates on both sides that read "Deputy Envoy of the Procuratorial Envoy Department" and "Admiral Fujian Xuedao", Lin Yanchao suddenly realized.

The way of learning is subordinate to the judge, and the superintendent must be attached to it. According to the judge, according to the judge, the deputy envoy is the fourth grade, and according to the judge, it is the fifth grade. If the rank of inspector is only according to the judge, it can only be according to the specifications of the five-grade prefect, but if it is the deputy envoy of the fourth-rank judge, according to the principle of officialdom, it will be received according to the provincial governor-level official.

After a long period of knowledge, Lin Yanchao was a little complacent.

The official in the soap coat held the waist knife, followed the hand to avoid, quiet, and praise the guide to move forward, in addition to the fast hand, listen to things, and follow me for a long time, and the back was a blue-covered soft sedan chair, and came into the village in a mighty way.

The villagers of Hexiang all went out to greet the village entrance, kneeling to avoid the sedan chair.

After the sedan chair stopped in front of the gate of social studies, an official with a national character face and extremely powerful official stepped out of the sedan chair, and his eyes swept over the schoolchildren.

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe. Lin Yanchao was not a little respectful, in his previous life, he was a little minion, and he was used to seeing leaders, and he had even seen the saint in the news broadcast, and a few four or five officials really couldn't shock him. Lin Yanchao carefully looked at the other party's heart and said, this person is Xuezheng? However, this person is very powerful, how can a person who is decisive at a glance be a noble scholar.

But seeing that this person walked to the back sedan chair, and then walked to a cyan oilcloth sedan chair, he lifted the curtain and buzzed: "Lord Tixue, Xiangmingong's hometown has arrived." "'It turned out to be a misunderstanding.' Lin Yanchao secretly said that he didn't understand the rules of officialdom, and when a big person like an inspector went to the countryside, he not only had to be greeted by the elderly, but also had to be accompanied by a local official.

In the middle of the sound, a black satin official boot stepped out of the sedan chair, and then an official in his forties, embroidered with an official robe of a white pheasant, slowly stepped out of the sedan chair. Lin Yanchao was about to take a closer look, but saw a servant glaring at him. Lin Yanchao could only lower his head.

After speaking, a person on the side said: "The adults who mention the school have an order, and the countryside is close to the people, and the rules are simple." ”

If the rules are simple, you don't have to do those red tapes. The schoolchildren were finally able to lift their heads without lowering their necks.

Lin Yanchao raised his head again, but saw that the two officials, like the leaders of later generations inspecting the countryside, left and right, up and down, front and back, in addition to the village elders, gentry, and a large group of people such as the yamen's own attaché, the secretary office, and the master, even Zhang Zongjia, a person who covered the sky in Hongtang Township, could only stand next to each other.

With the posture of this group of stars holding the moon and the indescribable majesty, it is no wonder that everyone loves to be an official. The officials on the side no longer stared, Lin Yanchao also looked at it casually, the leader Hu Tixue is very easy to recognize, if it weren't for an official robe, this person would be like an ordinary scholar, and some people believe that he is a teaching gentleman.

As for the other person, it was Lin Yanchao who had mistakenly thought that he was an official who was mentioning school, and he heard that the officials on the side were all looking forward to this person, and on the side Zhang Zongjia, the squires were full of enthusiasm, and they were called by their old parents, and they didn't need to guess to know that they were local parents, Houguan County, Zhou Zhi County.

For this Zhouzhi County, Lin Yanchao has also heard a little.

Fujian is a strict victim, and when the officials select officials, they also always select competent officials to serve as officials in Fujian.

Zhou Zhixian's reputation is not very good, but he is a cool official who holds on to his power and does not let go, he is mean and arrogant, and under the rule of heavy regulations, he has handled several iron cases since he became an official. Many people were unlucky in his hands, broke their homes, and worthy of the name of destroying the door ordered Yin, and broke the family and county.

Hu Tixue and Zhou Zhixian chatted while walking, Zhang Zongjia, Lin Chengyi and the village elders followed the two of them and merged into the ancestral hall.

In the ancestral hall, there are Zhang Jing, Zhang Maojue's two tablets, Zhang Maojue is the grandson of Zhang Jing, and then his father's shadow is the main book of Taichang Temple. And Zhang Maojue's son Zhang Xiang was added to the Guozi Supervisor to study, which can be described as an official eunuch.

Therefore, in the order of taking over the officials, Zhang Xiang ranked first. But Xu Yanchao knew that this person had only passed the county test five times, let alone the government test. Everyone in the clan knows that he is not a scholar, but he has a good father, and being able to make up for the Guozi Prison because of his identity as a shadow eunuch is like a pie falling from the sky to him.

After a period of greetings, Hu Tixue and Zhou Zhixian were also sitting quietly, and people on the side were busy serving tea and water. Generally speaking, this is not a real examination school, and the focus of the work of the school is still placed on the college examination, as well as the rectification of the county school and the government school. The so-called Guanfeng Social Studies, in fact, is just a way to learn from adults and understand local conditions, indicating that the imperial court attaches great importance to culture and education, and encourages the people to learn from them.

Therefore, watching the wind will not be deliberately embarrassed, the face has passed, and it will be over after some encouragement. Hu Tixue thinks so, but others don't. Just as the true Buddha is right in front of him, who is willing to walk 108,000 miles to the west to learn scriptures. Meet a noble person who can change your life with one sentence, who can hold back and not try to show yourself.

Hu Tixue did not take the official position to the schoolchildren below, but said in a kind and friendly manner: "Are these the clansmen of Xiangmin Gong, in the township?" ”

There were so many people from the Zhang clan present, but when Hu Tixue asked, not everyone was qualified to speak to him. It is necessary to push people with merit and fame to accompany them to live and talk. Other businessmen with a lot of money, or squires who are very powerful in the local area like Zhang Zongjia, are not qualified to intervene.

"If you go back to the great grandmaster, most of them are children of your hometown." Zhang Xiang opened his mouth to answer, he made up for the prisoner, and he had the identity to be able to speak with the official face, speaking on behalf of the Zhang clan.

Hu Tixue praised: "The hometown of loyalty and righteousness is really a splendid character. ”

Speaking of which, Hu Tixue said to Zhou County on the side since ancient times: "Zhu Zi has clouds, more than three generations, the palace, the national capital and Lu Lane, all have learning." ”

"Life is eight years old, and from the prince down, as for the children of the common people, they are all in primary school. and for five out of ten years, in addition to the sons and daughters of the princes, there are handsome people who enter the university. Therefore, the teaching of the school and the festivals of the big and small are also divided. ”

Listening to Hu Tixue's conversation, Zhou Xianling leaned forward, expressed respect, and replied in his mouth: "Lord Tixue, what he said is very true, the current social science is to follow the example of more than three generations, and the primary school is set up, there is no class, and all the people can accept the teaching. At the fifteenth o'clock, when entering the university, except for the prince's son, the only handsome among the common people can be enrolled. To this day, the reference is the county school, the students in the government school, only through the guò small three passes and three tests, can become a showman. ”

Hu Tixue pinched his beard and said with a smile: "Brother Shutai, this is exactly what I want." Therefore, this time, the Son of Heaven ordered the official to supervise the school in the province, and all teachers and students of social studies to take the school together, so as to ensure that the Master is responsible. At the same time, it also recommends talents from the people, and does not let the virtuous leave behind in the countryside. ”

The superintendent of a province holds the right to appoint and dismiss the teachers of a provincial social school, and also has the power to make an exception for the country.

Hu Tixue and Zhou Xianling talked and laughed for a while, and everyone, including Zhang Xiang, could only listen and couldn't talk.

There is no way to find the identity gap, not to mention the dignity and humility of the official position, in terms of 'academic qualifications', Zhou County Ling is the top three Jinshi in Longqing for five years, belonging to the top of the pyramid, and Hu Tixue is even more powerful, he was born in Shujishi, and then dispersed to serve as the imperial history, and then hand-picked Fujian Xuedao.

It's like Einstein and Schrödinger chatting, and they are powerless to interject.

Hu Tixue chatted with Zhou Xianling for a while, and Fang remembered the schoolchildren below and said, "Which one is the social school teacher?" ”

Hearing Hu Tixue say this, Lin Chengyi hurriedly stood up and said, "If you go back to the Great Grandmaster, Lin Chengyi will be born later." ”

Hu Tixue saw Lin Chengyi's dignified appearance, nodded and asked, "Who did the old friend learn from?" As Hu Tixue, he can be called by his name, but he said this to show his kindness.

Hearing Hu Tixue say this, Lin Chengyi replied with a look of shame: "If you return to the words of the adult, you haven't entered the school yet. ”

Hearing this, Hu Tixue's expression faded a little, and the people who were famous at that time called the students old friends, and called the children children. For example, when a child enters school, he is not afraid of being a teenager, and he is also known as an old friend; If you don't go to school, you will be eighty years old, and you will still be called a little friend.

Lin Chengyi didn't pass the hospital exam, so he couldn't be considered a showman, and he couldn't afford to be called an old friend.

At that time, in social studies, it was better to invite Confucian scholars or Confucian students to be teachers, and worse ones to invite children to be teachers. And Hu Tixue heard that Lin Chengyi was just a child, so he expected that his talent was limited, and the level of the students he taught was not very good.

Zhang Xiangsheng was afraid that he would take it lightly, so he hurriedly remedied: "Although Mr. Lin has not entered the school, he is very strict in teaching students, and there is no shortage of outstanding disciples among his disciples. At this time, Zhou Zhixian sneered: "Hehe, in front of the scholars, don't talk nonsense, how can the four words of excellence be used lightly?" ‘

When he said this, everyone's faces showed embarrassment. Lin Yanchao can't help but feel bad about this Zhou Zhixian, as a local magistrate, saying this is generally to express his modesty in front of the school, so as not to show that the appearance is not good, the gap is too big, but Zhou Zhixian heard this so harshly, he didn't save a little face, and he didn't have a peaceful style in the officialdom at all.

Do you want to stand up? still knows that he has a bad reputation among the people, so he simply blackfaces to the end. Lin Yanchao secretly speculated. Zhou Zhixian said this, no one dared to say anything no, they all hung their heads. Even Zhang Xiang didn't know how to answer.

Hu Tixue smiled and said: "Under the rule of Zhou Zhi County, the people are simple, and of course there is no shortage of outstanding talents. Hu Tixue was the only person in Zhou Zhi County who needed to give face, and he said at the moment: "The great grandmaster is too high-minded. ”

Hu Tixue asked Lin Chengyi with a smile: "Disciple in social studies, where have you go?" ”
