No matter how many people cursed, they should have come or come, and the triennial scientific examination was finally revoked, and on the side of the Ministry of Rites, there were many scholars who knelt on the ground and wept loudly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, the situation is irreversible, and the three-year imperial examination has been directly changed to a round of examinations once a year, and at the same time, in order to take care of some scholars who have already made a name for themselves, the imperial court has also given certain preferential treatment, and all talents can be directly admitted as officials without passing the examination.
As a result, those who were expected to pursue a career suddenly lost all their hopes, while a group of proud people happily packed their bags.
In the newly promulgated law of the imperial court, the officials have been explained in detail, the officials are different from the ordinary miscellaneous servants, and the official system is divided into ten classes in the new law, in addition to the sesame officials of the nine grades, these ten products are the officials, although the name is called the official, in fact, in essence, the official is actually included in the category of the official, or the reserve of the official, although the work is temporarily done from the previous nine ranks, but the identity has been completely changed.
In fact, what scholars care about most is their identity and face, and in this regard, the imperial court has taken considerable care of them.
In addition, the salaries of all officials were paid by the imperial court, and the Ministry of Officials set up a Department of Experience in each of the political departments, which also expanded the functions of the Ministry of Officials.
This is equivalent to giving everyone a establishment, without the establishment you are the ninth rate, with the establishment, you will have dignity, and there will be hope.
A series of measures, people are happy and worried, those Jinshi, Juren or the excellent candidates in the exam, they are extremely dissatisfied with this, and they are criticized, but Jinshi and Juren have no worries for the time being, and the imperial court will still appoint officials, so it is just a vent of the sadness of the rabbit and the fox. The biggest criticism is some people who think they have a chance to be on the list, they have a great chance to climb to the sky, but now they have to start from the bottom, their interests are seriously damaged, and not scolding is not enough to calm their anger.
Of course, the majority are happy.
Most of the talents, in addition to exempting from conscription, given a certain number of small privileges, once the examination is not lifted, can not be in the jinshi, there is no future at all, everyone in the world is keen to be an official, but many people are not enough to take the exam, simply can not cross the hundreds of thousands of millions of people competing for thousands of less than the quota of the single-plank bridge, and now the imperial court can open the source in the examination, which means that everyone has a greater chance of being an official, and in the future, it is no longer to see who does a better job, but whose errand is better.
At the same time, the imperial court also gave admission to some lowly statuses, and also encouraged the original errand service, that is to say, even if you are an ordinary clerk, clerk or even miscellaneous servant, as long as you are willing to take the test, the imperial court will also be willing to give some preferential policies, after all, they are experienced, but the cultural level is often not as good as Xiucai, as long as you are willing to work hard, you still have the opportunity to 'turn positive'.
A few measures, so that the world's officials whining and mourning, but on the contrary, they found that in addition to complaining, they did not seem to get much response, scholars began to centrifuge according to their own interests, not to say that there was a filth between the scholars, that is, in the most basic county government, it is often the prefects who scold the imperial court and national policy, but the scribes, clerks and even miscellaneous servants below are silent, and if they do not make a sound, it means that they do not agree, because the interests of the two sides have been inconsistent.
On the contrary, the officials and masters are all nobles, and the governance of the local or ministry is ostensibly done by them, but it is these people at the bottom who really do things, and these people at the bottom collectively support the national policy of the imperial court, so that these people seem to be unable to do anything except borrow alcohol to kill their sorrows, or criticize and scold.
originally thought that the promulgation would cause chaos in the world, but it turned out to be calm, except for the scolding, the national policy was quickly implemented and unstoppable.
Next, is the reform of the imperial military system, the military households in various places were abolished, and the military household system was changed to the recruitment system, this national policy was also promulgated by Liu Chengfeng and the cabinet after several months of discussion, any national policy, there will be opposition, this time is no exception, the most fierce opposition is the local hereditary military attaché, these hereditary thousands of households, hundreds of households suddenly become the commander of the light pole, and the official position can no longer have the possibility of hereditary, naturally it is like thunder, but they still can't become powerful, At least this national policy has been widely supported by military households.
Millions of military households in the Ming Dynasty can be described as extremely miserable, tied to the land, from the so-called military households to tenant farmers, exploited by the military attachés, and for generations of farmers, there is no hope of leaving the country for life, once they encounter a war, they have to be forced to go to war, nine deaths, but most of the rewards of the imperial court have fallen into the pockets of military attachés.
If it was in the past, at most he would be his own tenant farmer, anyway, farming for the landlord is also planting, and farming for the military attache is also planting, but in recent years, a large number of workshops have appeared, making it fashionable to work, everyone knows, the income of working is greater, and it is often hard to find food on the land for a year, and the family can't even eat enough for a year, but the work not only can't maintain the family barely have something to eat, but also have a little savings.
As a result, a large number of tenants poured into the workshops, which made the land rent lower and lower, and the gentry had to give some preferential treatment to the tenants in order to retain them. Gradually, the exploitation was much lightened, and the burden on the tenants in the countryside was greatly reduced.
As a result, farming in the military household is not only far inferior to working, but also inferior to the tenant farmer, the military household life is difficult and miserable, and there is a comparison with others, and there is already a grudge in the heart, at this time the imperial court suddenly issued an order, although it is a catastrophe for the hereditary military attaché, but for the military households to harvest it is a long drought and rain.
Even if the military attachés are dissatisfied, do they still want to rebel, and if he dares to rebel, who will respond? There is no need to even use the official army at all, and one or two errand officers can directly correct them on the spot.
The implementation of the new law kicked off the prelude to the three years of Zhengde, a large number of military households were liberated from the land, making the rapidly expanding workshops more like tigers, and reading has gradually become fashionable. But now it is very different, the opening of the examination for officials, broadened the channels for them to cross this threshold, so that more people are willing to let their children and nephews read and write, of course, more importantly, with the development of the workshop, the demand for all kinds of readers has gradually increased, under this huge demand, readers have become hot.
In the past, reading was nothing more than a single-plank bridge for the imperial examination, which was daunting, but now, there are hundreds, thousands of paths, learning arithmetic, doing arithmetic, learning the law, being a lawyer, that is, just ordinary reading and writing, and can also find idle and high-paying errands in various workshops, although the imperial examination is a great future, but compared with these immediate interests, even if the income of reading a book is only one or two times higher than that of not reading, most people are willing to accept the popularization of this knowledge.
In addition, the imperial court continued the national policy of the previous emperor and vigorously built the school, so the number of people studying and studying was ten times or a hundred times more than before.
In April of the third year of Zhengde, the recitals from all over the country were all singing praises, and the local rebellion that everyone was worried about, and even the rebellion of the clan, seemed to have become a joke for a long time. In this world, no one cares who is in charge, the most important thing is whether there is a basis for turmoil in the world, if the people's grievances are boiling, it is how orthodox the court is, it is still unveiled, and the beacons are everywhere, but Jiuchengren is satisfied, everyone has food, and there are better expectations for life, the so-called orthodoxy, the so-called morality, everything has become empty words.
And the several innovations that Liu Chengfeng is targeting are just right, often to win over most of the people, to suppress a small number of people, a small number of people resentment, even if they have the public opinion of the whole world, but what? Any court never cares about scolding.
Of course, innovation is also a guide due to the situation, if there is no accumulation of the first emperor, if it is not for the imperial court has enough expenses, any innovation is just a joke, these reforms, if put to the present, maybe it is just right, but if it is put twenty years ago, it may become a hidden danger of turmoil in the world, just like Wang Mang's new deal, although the content of the new deal can be said to be advanced, the result is to accelerate the fall of the new dynasty, the law of the Ming Dynasty to the Qin and Han dynasties, to ensure that the world is in chaos.
At the beginning of the fourth year of Zhengde, the entire dynasty was still thriving, and at this time, Jiao Fang, a cabinet scholar, finally couldn't sit still.
has been in power for several years, although Jiao Fang has done a lot of things in the cabinet, but he is not as good as Yang Yiqing in martial arts, not as good as Li Dongdong in literature, and seems to have gradually become a dispensable figure, the only thing that is fortunate is that the regent seems to rely on him a lot.
Today, he deliberately took a leave of absence in the cabinet, and Mrs. Yipin ordered him to enter Beijing from the desert today, and Li Ruofan had already given him a famous assassination and asked him to go to the meeting.
Li Ruofan's identity, whether it is for the regent or the court, is a little embarrassing, on the one hand, this strong woman does not seem to like to live in the palace, but occasionally returns to her Guanwai Golden Tent, Mongolian Fifteen Guards, she is quite prestigious, so the affairs outside the court mostly depend on her, and many things related to the Guanwai Guards will also consult her opinion. On the other hand, her relationship with the regent is ambiguous, and this matter is well known, and even many military planes, the regent has privately consulted with her.
This person is different from other princesses, she doesn't want to be a human concubine, but she has no name and substance, so Jiao Fang has to be careful with Li Ruofan.
