Chapter 913: Half of the treatise on language rules the world

Spring goes to autumn, and in the past six months, there has been no wind and waves. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Under the wind and rain, it is naturally a prosperous year. In addition, in recent years, the excellent selection has been vigorously promoted by the Supervision Department, and I don't know how to promote it. Sometimes it is normal for farmers not to believe the words of the imperial court, after all, it is a family's rations, and they cannot be sloppy. However, these seeds were carefully cultivated by Royal Roads University, simulating the harshest environment and ensuring survival. After half a push and half a push, Dashun's agricultural development is not slow, at least the farmers also understand that the imperial court is really good for them.

As for the workshops and factories in various places, they have also developed extremely rapidly. Dashun businessmen also seem to realize that under the premise of protecting inventions and creations in "Dashun Law", as long as a new technology can be controlled, it is really a lot of money. Those who follow the trend behind others can't even drink a sip of soup.

It is precisely because of this that the treatment of craftsmen has risen, and even some clever craftsmen have a monthly salary that exceeds that of officials.

When an official explained the matter to Lu Chengqi, feeling that it was "unbelievable" and that it was necessary to "stop it in time," Lu Chengqi felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

When a dynasty really reaches the point where "everything is inferior, only reading is high", it is often the saddest. Except for culture, this dynasty has nothing to praise. The Guan Zi in the ancient sages has long said that Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing, which is a causal relationship that cannot be surpassed. When your military strength is weak to a certain extent and everyone runs to study, then there is no cure for this dynasty.

No matter how strong the culture and economy are, without the protection of strong military strength, they can only become a fat sheep in the eyes of other countries.

What's the use of reading books if it's just dead reading, which won't turn knowledge into productivity?

It can only be said that the people are too utilitarian, and they only study to be officials, because they don't have to worry about food, drink and clothing as officials.

This is also advocated by the imperial court, intentionally or unintentionally, as long as they give people a way to work hard and give the people a hope, they will obey the rule.

Once the foundation of the court begins to crumble, then this hope is gone, and the people naturally want to overthrow the court. The fall of a dynasty, in addition to the occurrence of a huge range of disasters, the corruption of people's morals, and the desperate people of the people, the blocking of the upward channel is also a great factor.

Why not use the market now to derive an upward channel? Lu Chengqi was happy to see such a thing, and even vigorously supported it. It's just that in this way, the Manchu civil and military sighed, saying that the status of officials is gone forever. Indeed, if the status is judged by money, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty may not be as good as the rich merchants. Now many officials of the eighth and ninth grades can't even compare with the craftsmen, and they are inevitably angry.

In fact, the brainpower paid by other craftsmen is not less than that of you studying and becoming an official! As the so-called art industry has a specialization, since you have chosen to be an official, you must understand this truth. If you are not familiar with the law, you can only be a ten-rank official for the rest of your life, or an idle position of a ninth-grade Hanlin. After you have read the law well, you will have the possibility to obtain the real deficiency and be able to give it away. Of course, if you are proficient in arithmetic, water conservancy, and farming, then you will have a greater chance of being released and a wider range of promotions.

The same is true for craftsmen, if you are not good at crafting, you can only give others a hand and do some simple and repetitive work for the rest of your life. Only when you refine your craft, study and ponder, and improve your skills, can you gain the appreciation of the owner.

Shang Jia is the most important to substantive interests, your craftsmanship is not good, can he spend so much money to hire you? He wants to keep the costs down and put all the profits in his own pocket. But he is only a businessman, not a craftsman, and he does not understand technology, and if he wants to make money, he has to curry favor with craftsmen. If you don't give enough money, it's okay for people to change jobs and leave at any time, so aren't you just giving a big gift to your competitors!

In the same way, being an official is the same, why are the tenth-grade officials, ninth-grade officials, and eighth-grade officials so low?

That's because there are too many officials of the same type, Zhang San, you don't come, and Li Si, Wang Wu, there are too many candidates. But why did Lin Zhenzhong sit firmly in the position of the head of the household? That's because people are proficient in business, and not many people can replace them, and Lin Zhenzhong is not doing badly. Therefore, the Yu Lu in Lin Zhen is hundreds of times that of the tenth-grade officials and a hundred times that of the eighth-grade officials.

If you want to be promoted, now you can't get into the camp and tie up with your boss. Only by studying things seriously and steadfastly and letting the court know that you are indispensable, can you have room for promotion. Otherwise, you will lead the idle job for the rest of your life and be a Jiupin Hanlin.

These truths cannot be comprehended by those who are dead readers. They only say that "half of the treatise rules the world", and after learning the four books and five classics, they will naturally be able to understand everything.

Is that really the case? Half of the Analects can rule the world? Then why did Confucius travel around the world and not a single monarch adopted his ideas? Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could only accept Dong Zhongshu's improved Confucianism?

Many people say that Dashun still governs the country with filial piety, but in fact, it is not.

Filial piety is essential, and human ethics has always been the foundation of Dashun's country. But in essence, Dashun is governed by the rule of law. In particular, since Lu Chengqi took office, he has tried his best to revise the "Dashun Law", check and fill in the gaps, and plug all kinds of loopholes in the law. Only by external Confucianism and internal law can a country achieve long-term peace and stability. It's a pity that people who lack hearts and eyes still hold on to the "Analects", no wonder they sigh that the times are not good, Feng Tang is easy to get old, and Li Guang is difficult to seal. You can't make any political achievements, the people shake their heads at you, why did Lu Chengqi promote you to an official?

Confucianism pays attention to "self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world", have you really succeeded in "self-cultivation"? I don't even learn the basic "Dashun Law", what kind of official is it? If you are not proficient in arithmetic, you don't know how to conservancy, and you are even more blind to farming, an official like you is a waste, what can you do except rhetoric? Even if he is released, he is just a confused official!

If you can't be promoted as an official, first of all, don't blame the court, blame the performance assessment of the Ministry of Households, blame the assessment of the Supervision Department, and ask yourself if you are really qualified for the next official position?

It's a pity that those who have become officials think that they are amazing, what else do they learn about law, arithmetic, water conservancy, agriculture, people's livelihood, and craftsmen? Everything is inferior, only reading is high!

They deserve to spend half their lives!

Lu Chengqi looked coldly at the civil officials in the court, these are all "historical legacy" problems, and they will soon be cleaned up. Over the years, he has passed the performance appraisal and "demoted" many useless officials out of Chang'an, and very few officials who have been "demoted" have returned to Beijing again. Without him, their political achievements are not enough, and this alone blocks their passage for promotion.

Now they are still unrepentant, and they are even blind to their own shortcomings, and it seems that they are about to "belittle" a group of people again.

Lu Chengqi glanced at Wu Xianzhi, the head of the household, and his eyes were meaningful. Wu Xianzhi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, and the monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and their hearts were connected.
