Chapter 419: The official and the righteous gate are desperately begging for a monthly ticket

was blown up.,Woo woo,Can you still support two monthly passes La Roro?

While the big names of Changguo Deng were talking at the dinner table, Chen Dexing and his son also sat down at the dining table - several long tables were placed in a spacious hall, and the food was already placed on the table.

The catering of the Great Song Dynasty seems to be good in Chen Dexing's memory, with a wide variety and variety. The night banquets of wealthy families often last all night, even if they usually eat in the family house, they also have wine and meat, even in the military camp, he has never stopped meat.

And today...... But I'm going to be a vegetarian!

The lunch served at Tingtao Academy is very light, and there are three kinds of dishes: green vegetables, tofu, and dried radish. The meal is simpler, it is porridge, but it is full.

The side of the dining hall is close to the sea, the doors and windows are all open, and the cool breeze from the sea blows, accompanied by gusts of waves. Sitting in the hall, you can look at the blue waves of the East China Sea and listen to the sound of the rolling waves. It's really a bit of an artistic conception, but the greens, tofu, dried radish and porridge are a bit sparkling......

However, a room full of scholars and scholars ate with relish. Chen Dexing walked for a morning, his stomach was already hungry, and he didn't pay attention to anything at the moment, he picked up the porridge and devoured the dried radish, and in the blink of an eye, he was full.

Then he didn't go to add porridge, but looked around and looked at the people who were eating. Scholars pay attention to "food without words" when eating, that is, no one speaks. So his father Chen Huaiqing didn't say a word, just ate porridge and dried radish slowly - Lao Chen's living habits are different from Chen Dexing's, and he is very particular. Meals are chewed and swallowed slowly, even if there is only porridge and dried radish. And Xiao Chen has been raised as a soldier since he was a child, and he must gobble up his meals! If you eat slowly, you will starve......

Chen Dexing turned his gaze to Bai Zhanji again. The runner sat upright, holding a bowl of porridge and eating it with great cherishment...... This is the porridge of Tingtao Academy! His dream since he was a child was to come in and eat this bowl of porridge, but unfortunately he couldn't realize it, and today he can realize his dream a little.

Then Chen Dexing began to look at the scholars who were studying in Tingtao Academy - he was reborn for a few years, not that he had not been in contact with scholars, but they were all high-ranking scholars, even if it was Qu Fatzi, who once set up a stall in Lin'an Yujie, he was also a lifter.

And the middle lift, for the vast majority of readers. It's already a far-fetched dream!

In Chen Dexing's view, the biggest problem with the imperial examinations in the Southern Song Dynasty, or the imperial examinations in China since ancient times, is that what is learned is not practical and too much time wasted! Or rather...... Emperor Lao Tzu wanted to spend generations of national elites with this kind of useless moral article, let them study the words of the article, and most of them were poor and found nothing. A handful of people took the shit luck exam to become an official, but because they didn't have any practical skills, it was difficult to get anything done.

Therefore, the main work of the officials of the Song Dynasty was to "supervise" and formulate the line of government affairs. Among them, the overseers are the overseers and military attachés. Assisting the emperor in formulating the course of government affairs is the job of the deacons.

In fact, the civil officials of the Song Dynasty were similar to the political appointees of the later Western era, that is, those who were determined by votes. And the administrative officials who came out of the examination in later generations were about Xu officials in the Song Dynasty.

And in the political system created by Chen Dexing. The administrative officers must be held by the nobles and gentry. Either appointed by Tran Tak Hing, or elected by the parliament. In short, it can't be decided by exams!

Of course. It's not that the dicks don't have the opportunity to become government officials, but the dicks must have 200 copper to buy a gentry. Or a gentry who received a free gift for his outstanding performance in the office of an officer, or a gentleman who made some merit. Other than that. Whoever makes any invention and creates zào can also be knighted. In this way, they are eligible to become parliamentarians and administrative officers...... There are indeed some class solidification or something!

And after the administrative appointee was taken away by the gentry and gentry, then the clerk was of course to be produced by examination. In fact, the "scholars" of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were mainly officials - doing things for the master. At that time, there were nobles in all countries, and there were a lot of sons, grandsons, and doctors, how could they let "scholars" be big officials? It's hard to come across such a good thing.

Therefore, the "scholars" of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period all started from doing things, and only when things were done well did they have the opportunity to become high-ranking officials. Of course, there are also some "scholars" who have had particularly good luck, fooled the king, got an exceptional appointment, and directly became a big official.

However, what Chen Dexing wants to establish now is a system, not a special case. So in the bureaucratic system that he is going to establish, the clerks will be selected by examinations - and now the place that offends Confucianism will come again, what will be tested in the clerk examination?

Exam Cheng Zhu Lixue? Collect taxes, catch a thief, build a house or something, can you use science? To talk to the merchants and peasants, or to use the theory to persuade the robbers to turn themselves in? It's a no-no! Therefore, most of the officials in the Song Dynasty were not Confucian scholars.

At present, the content of the examination of the Beiming Affairs Officer is mainly arithmetic, law, engineering and martial arts. Martial arts include bows and arrows, fencing, and horseback riding—not to confer Confucianism, but to work hard. Because at present, there are not many peaceful places in the north and south, and if the person who is the affairs officer does not have a little martial arts, he can't even get out of the city, what else can he do?

Therefore, most of the scholars who are being observed by Chen Dexing now are poor people. Not only did he not have the opportunity to be a junior officer, but he couldn't even be a small affairs officer. What you have learned in your life is destined to be useless - in fact, what is taught in this kind of Confucian academy is mainly to deal with the imperial examination, and without it, it will be useless.

The scholars who are eating in the canteen of Tingtao Academy are not all young people, the youngest of them is only eleven or twelve years old, and the childishness on his face has not been shed, but he is still eating seriously and silently, and he seems to be extremely well-behaved and cultivated. The old man looks older than Chen Huaiqing, and I don't know if he is a gentleman in the academy.

Bai Zhanji and the Chen family father and son said that the scholars of the Deng family in Changguo would generally take the examination until they were 50 years old, and then the clan would no longer provide financial assistance for them to go to the imperial examination. Although the Changguo Deng family is a wealthy family, the family has a large population, and most of them don't do anything. Therefore, the wealth of the clan is not abundant, and the financial support for the children can be increased is limited.

By the way, Changguo Deng is the so-called "righteous gate", that is, he lives together and has never been separated! Seventy percent of the land on Zhoushan Island is actually the public property of the clan, not the private property of a single family - of course, each family under the clan also has private property, but not necessarily.

There were many such "righteous gates" in the Tang and Song dynasties, for example, Li Tingzhi's clan was called "Suizhou Yimen Li", which is said to be the same hall of the twelfth generation, with two thousand people.

And Chen Dexing himself is a descendant of the famous "Jiangzhou Yimen Chen". During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, Yimen Chen of Jiangzhou was a strong clan that was "the first in the world with 3,000 people and lived together for 500 years". Later, because of the construction of Wen Yanbo and Bao Zheng, the Yimen Chen family was divided into 291 parts.

Anfeng Chen family is one of the descendants, but because of the battle of Shouchun in the early years, the family withered, there are not too many children left, and most of the property has been lost, and now most of them have been moved to Yangzhou by Chen Huaiqing. Many of them have also gone to the Northland Recruitment Division or the General Trade Division.

At this time, in Jiangnan, there are many similar "righteous gates". It can be said that most of the strong clans are "righteous men". In other words, only the "Yimen model" can cultivate a strong clan - no separation of families ensures that every child in the clan can receive the best Confucian education and participate in the imperial examination, and the large number of children who study and study in turn ensures that the clan is in and out of the clan from generation to generation, and with the jinshi can ensure that the entire clan has political and economic privileges. It is possible to monopolize large amounts of land and population. This is the reason why the clan can prosper for a long time.

And the hundreds of "righteous gates" in the south of the Yangtze River are now the biggest obstacle in front of Chen Dexing. Because the arrival of Chen Dexing will break the foundation on which these "righteous gates" rely on to maintain - the imperial examination system!

Moreover, he also brought a class that will replace Jiangnan Yimen - the feudal scholar class!

……

West Lake, Geling.

With a "bang", a white jade bowl was smashed, and the crisp sound broke the silence in the pavilion, and jade chips splashed everywhere on the bluestone slab.

Jia Rudao, who was wearing a Dongpo scarf, showed an angry face, and several officials next to him were silent, all of them silent.

Liao Yingzhong took a breath and persuaded in a low voice: "Pingzhang is angry, Chen Dexing's army is strong, and it is reasonable for the coastal naval army in Zhejiang to temporarily avoid its edge." ”

"Zhoushan Island is located off the coast of Zhejiang, with a household registration of 100,000 and a good port. Jia Rudao said sharply, "Ying Long! ”

Weng Yinglong bowed and said, "Yes." ”

"Order the Imperial Shitai to send someone to lock up the county of Changguo!"

Weng Yinglong said: "Yes." ”

Liao Yingzhong shook his head slightly, looked at the military and state affairs of the Great Song Pingzhang, who was in charge of the dynasty alone, and said for a long time: "Changguo Zhixian has no soldiers and no generals, and there is really nothing to be done......

Jia Rudao's anger did not subside, and he only snorted. A domestic servant entered. "Master, Jiang Dashen, Ma Dashen and Pu Shumi ask to see."

Jia Rudao put away his anger and got up from the chair: "Wait for the old man to greet him in person." ”

Wu Qian, one of the six ministers appointed by Emperor Lizong, was sick in bed during this time, and he could no longer see things, Chen Huaiqing did not come back after leaving Lin'an, and even his family members had left, so he obviously would not come back, unless he was with Chen Dexing's army.

Therefore, the six ministers are now only four people, including Jia Yidao, Jiang Wanli, Ma Guangzu and Pu Zezhi. Now that they have all gathered in Geling, West Lake, they naturally want to discuss national affairs with Jia Yidao, and it is also a major event related to the rise and fall of the Great Song Dynasty!
