Chapter 842 The Trouble of Yan Wei (1)
PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
Chang'an is as prosperous as ever, but many changes have quietly taken place in the market.
In the neighborhood, in many houses and houses, there are many, many outsiders with unfamiliar accents.
Moreover, this situation is becoming more and more every day.
So much so that many people found themselves suddenly changing neighbors overnight.
Big dog families from the Kanto region, waving gold and five baht, bought real estate in Chang'an City.
They couldn't squeeze in.
But Shang Guanli and the land around it were stirred up to the sky by these people.
But these big dogs are only a few after all.
In a county, it is already very good to have one or two such big dogs.
How many counties are there in the whole world?
The influx of the middle class from Kanto was what caught the people of Chang'an off guard.
These young people who have the dream of coming to Chang'an, participating in next year's examination, or climbing to a high-ranking official and nobleman, often start on the road with thousands or tens of thousands of dollars.
After coming to Chang'an, they rented some relatively cheap and economical houses.
There are even people who share houses with others to relieve financial pressure.
"According to Yan Yi's statistics, there are nearly 30,000 scholars from Kanto in Chang'an City today!" Ji Di sat in the carriage, lifted the curtains, and looked out the window at the flow of people, and couldn't help but feel worried.
A group of 30,000 scholars!
And the number is growing!
Every day, hundreds, if not thousands, of scholars from the Kanto region enter the Kanto region.
Years ago. During the reign of the first emperor, the whole world. The sum of all the scholars under the hundred schools of Zhuzi may be about 50,000.
But since the accession to the throne. This number is constantly snowballing and beginning to expand indefinitely.
First of all, we should encourage and reward non-governmental schools.
The schools of the world, encouraged by the policies of the imperial court, have absorbed a large number of students.
In Yingchuan County alone, there are as many as 100 academies.
In some academies, there are only three or five disciples, but in those famous academies, there are often hundreds of disciples.
The number of students has expanded. But qualifications have become uneven as a result.
In the past, if a scholar dared to call himself a scholar, he had to at least devote himself to the guidance and teaching of the teacher, study hard for ten years, and dare not say that he thoroughly understood what he had learned, or at least he had to understand what his teacher taught, so that he dared to go out to study and talk with the heroes of the world.
And now?
A few of them have been studying for two or three years and have just learned to write and count. A guy who hasn't even read the classics dares to wear a sword, wears a Jinxian crown, and calls himself a scholar. It is time to put the world first.
For a time, Sven swept the floor, and the scholar and the scholar. Rotten streets in an instant.
In the past, respected. A model and exemplary scholar in the world.
Nowadays, at least in Chang'an. It's not much different from ordinary people.
This is like a star in later generations, with countless brainless fans.
But few people who deal with celebrities every day chase stars.
Worship and respect or admiration are all things that are generated by distance and one's own brain, which are most easily broken and destroyed by reality.
"Do you want to tell Your Majesty......" Ji Di thought to himself.
Maintaining the status and special treatment of scholars is something that all schools of thought will do regardless of faction.
The ass decides the head!
But now the situation has become very delicate.
A bunch of children of emerging middle-class landlords and businessmen found a teacher near their homes, studied for two or three years, and then rushed to Chang'an, clamoring to participate in the examination.
Thousands of troops and horses crossed the single-plank bridge together.
In this process, there are often cases of indiscriminate punching of the master to death.
For example, in last year's examination, there was a certain person who had studied for three years and was especially self-taught, and broke into the third round.
And many scholars who have been studying for ten years, or even have been studying since birth, have fallen into the sand and lost their souls for the second round.
Can you say that the scholar who made it to the third round is not a scholar?
Believe it or not, tens of thousands of 'readers' rioted together, and the foaming stars drowned you directly?
Moreover, because of the interests, those local academy teachers and scholars will also join the ranks of defending these people.
And the reason for this phenomenon is also very clear.
This is what will inevitably happen in today's design examination system.
The test questions are mainly about general knowledge, and even the most difficult questions are arithmetic.
None of the questions in any of the dossiers were about what was meant to be said or 'why the saints did this?'
Even if the classic questions are involved, most of them are fill-in-the-blank questions and silent writing questions.
Who wouldn't?
"The Son of Heaven's examination, where is the selection of materials for the country? It's clearly choosing a knife and pen! "There have been similar discussions in the market and public opinion circles for a long time.
However, recently, because of the influx of more and more 'readers' in Chang'an City, and even formed a phenomenon, it has become the focus of public opinion.
Countless people have spoken out in grief to raise the threshold for the examination, and to add the understanding, expression and elaboration of the scriptures and the words and deeds of the sages, so as to truly select the 'pillars of the country'.
Although Ji Di felt that this did seem to have some truth.
But he couldn't support it.
Not only can you not support it, but you must stand up against it!
The reason is simple.
Although he did not climb up through the examination, his right-hand man and henchmen were all born in the examination.
If he dared to agree to these discussions, his men would immediately rebel.
In the past four rounds of examinations, a total of more than 7,000 officials have contributed to the Han family.
These officials, although the vast majority, are just grassroots petty officials who are barely an official such as a wanderer, a wall man or a pavilion chief in a certain township.
But they have formed a group of interests that are feared enough.
They were born in the examination system, and they will naturally maintain this system.
What's even more terrifying is now. In Guanzhong, there are more than sixty percent of grassroots officials. It's already these examiners.
They've built a massive system from top to bottom.
Shang Shulang and Shizhong, who went up to serve the Son of Heaven, went down to the countryside. Manage and organize the people's pavilion chiefs, wandering.
From civilian officers in the army who served as generals' counselors and staff officers, to overseers who held rulers and instructed workers in the workshop.
They have infiltrated every aspect of the Han Empire, in every system.
Want to challenge them?
Unless you start today, no one will be able to deal with it.
Even if he is a prime minister today, if he is not careful, he may have a tooth broken.
Thinking of this, Ji Di sighed.
He knows. In fact, if you don't say it, it's useless.
The general trend of the examination has been completed, and non-human power can be recovered.
Ji Di couldn't help but sigh, and then lowered his head and looked at the twists and turns that he was going to report to the Son of Heaven in a while.
He is still a scholar, although the outside world says that he is not Jiuqing, but he is actually Jiuqing. ’
But in fact, it is actually no different from all the Shangshu orders of the Han family in the past.
is a secretary who reads the folds for the Son of Heaven and sorts out the copywriting.
What authority there really is? That's also because of the blessing of the Son of Heaven.
The carriage passed through the imperial road of Chang'an City, and soon after, it entered the palace range of Weiyang Palace.
Passing through the palace gate, Ji Di was the same as in the past. Get off at Simamen.
Then, he saw Yan Yi, who had been transferred to the Inner History Yamen and served as the Inner History Cheng.
"Ji Shangshu!" Yan Yi saw Ji Di. He stepped forward and bowed, "I've been waiting for Shangshu here for a long time!" ”
"Brother Ziqi (Yan Yibiao Ziqi). What's the matter? Ji Di asked with a strange sigh in his heart.
"Don't hide it. I'm here to ask Shangshu for help! Yan Yi pulled Ji Di, walked into Sima Gate, and said as he walked: "Brother should know, Your Majesty ordered me to be Shang Shucheng and govern Maolingyi!" ”
Ji Di nodded.
Yan Yi was burdened by the Son of Heaven last month and concurrently served as the county magistrate of Maolingyi.
It's a sign of reuse!
Historically, the order of the emperor of the Han family to appoint ministers as his own mausoleum is to tell the ministers: This person, I am going to be promoted, you are all optimistic!
It's just that it's also a tricky job.
The so-called evil is full of evil, with Guo Jingshi!
In the Han family, it was more difficult than the Chang'an order to be the county order of the Son of Heaven's tomb.
Because the situation there is more complicated, and there are people of all kinds of religions.
And the big dogs are running all over the streets.
If you are not careful, you may be caught by a millionaire worth of tens of millions or a relative today.
Moreover, in an emerging city, problems and situations are always emerging.
Therefore, the Lingyi County Order of the Son of Heaven of the Han Family is often a touchstone.
Whether you have the ability or not, whether you have the wrist, you can try it at Lingyi!
And today's Maoling, the situation is more complicated than the previous mausoleum of all the Sons of Heaven, and the water is deeper!
There, there is a martial garden, there is Taixue, and there is Lingyan Pavilion.
The highest level of national learning and the highest level of military general training school of the Han family, plus a memorial hall of famous generals since the Han Dynasty.
These three places, even if they lose a hair, are big deals!
The Han family, too often an official, often lost his head or committed suicide because of a slight omission.
In the same way, if there is a mess on the Maolingyi side.
Even if it is Yan Yi, it is estimated that he will inevitably commit suicide.
This is still secondary.
Wuyuan, Taixue and Lingyan Pavilion all have giants in charge, and they are self-contained, and they generally do not need Maolingyi to intervene in management.
The point is that the current population of this Maoling-eup is astonishing.
Ji Yi remembers that when Yan Yi took over last month, the permanent population of Maolingyi had reached 17,000 households, close to 80,000!
A city of 80,000 people is already enough to meet the standards of most of Tongyi.
However, it has only been three years since the construction of Maolyeung-eup, and it has only been more than a year since the official population moved in.
In other words, the city lacks all the supporting measures and public facilities.
There, everything is missing!
Food, cloth, ironware, daily necessities, and even lack of money!
Not long ago, there was a big dog family who came to Chang'an City from Maolingyi and exchanged 10 million and 5 baht directly from the Shaofu Yamen for 1,000 gold.
Although, Ji Huang knew that this big dog was arranged by today, and he wanted to use such a move to establish the credibility of the five-baht coin and pave the way for the so-called gold standard in the future.
However, to some extent, this also shows that Maolyeung-eup is indeed short of money.
There is no local output, and the farmland outside the city has only been harvested for the first time this year.
Moreover, the land of Maolyeung-eup cannot support the population of Maolyeung-eup.
Basically, most of the daily necessities and necessities in the entire Maolyeung-eup must be purchased.
A city that is not self-sufficient and needs to rely on outsourcing for everything has also appeared in front of the Han monarchs.
In order to feed the 80,000 mouths of Maoling-eup, the track run by the Shijia has 400 horse-drawn carriages running on the track day and night, transporting countless goods and materials from the Kanto region to Maoryung-eup.
The Shi family made a lot of money because of this, which made countless people envious, jealous and hateful.
But that's not enough!
This is because, in addition to the permanent population, there is also a large influx of foreign population every day.
The Son of Heaven set up a racecourse in Maolingyi.
Every five days, a horse race is held.
Originally, it was just a playground for aristocratic gentlemen to pass the time.
However, I don't know when it began, the Shaofu Yamen began to sell the so-called 'betting tickets' in the racecourse.
Because the gameplay is simple, and it seems to be fair and just, and the rate of return is also good - the highest level of rewards, as long as you hit it, you can get a payout equivalent to 1,000 times the stake.
Although this odds of winning the lottery are too low.
But it's not without luck.
Every ten days and half a month, there will always be one or two super lucky people who can earn 100,000 yuan with 100 yuan.
In addition, the Shaofu announced to the public that all the income from this horse race would be used as military expenses and the cuirass of Moyuan.
Immediately occupied the moral high ground.
Shaofu ordered Liu She to simply say to those Qingliu who accused him of 'bringing disaster to the country and the people': I will take it from the people and use it for the army.
The nobles and rangers have an excuse to bet on horses: we are here for the cause of national defense and science and technology!
As a result, the racecourse has only been open for less than a month.
It has already attracted the attention of the rangers, merchants and nobles in the whole level.
When the race starts, there is a sea of people inside and outside the racecourse.
Shaofu's mouth smiled crookedly.
are already planning to open a few more racecourses in Chang'an and Maoling to make money.
But this pressure was also thrown on Maoling-eup.
With so many people gathered together, in order to guard against chaos, the Maoling garrison has risen from three thousand to seven thousand.
The number of officials and officials has increased tenfold in half a year!
Moreover, the food, drink, and Lazar of these people were also borne by Maolingyi.
At its peak, the population of Maoling may be as high as 200,000 or even more than 200,000!
It is not easy to let these uncles eat and drink well, but also to prevent the breeding of diseases and drink water safely!
Ji Di can imagine how Yan Yi has come these days.
However, this is also a position to train people.
Those who can manage Maolingyi must have the ability to deal with the affairs of a county, and even in the future, they may be able to become the qualifications and achievements of the advanced three dukes.
"Brother Ziqi, what the hell is going on?" After the two walked into a rather secluded attic, Ji Di didn't spare the circle and asked directly.
"Don't dare to hide from Shangshu...... Yan Yi arched his hand and said: "This time, I really ask Shangshu to go with me in front of Your Majesty and visit the Shaofu!" ”
"Shaofu?" When Ji Di heard this, his face was embarrassed.
Today's Shaofu can be said to be the most popular department in the Jiuqing Yamen of the Han Dynasty.
Shaofu Ling Liu She was also praised by the world because of the victory in Wuzhou, which washed away the stain of the sycophants of the past.
To deal with him? But it's difficult!
[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
PS: Well, it will break out tomorrow, and the bottom is guaranteed 3w~
Then, in order to complete the goal of this number, so, the remaining two more today will be moved to tomorrow, please understand, after all, I can't write fast, my hand is crippled!
