Volume VIII 1081 What a privilege!

Next chapter

"What exactly is a scholar? In fact, it is a privileged class created by the ancient intellectuals on the basis that education was not universally popularized by the whole people!"

"It's all the same old routine, from the time of the Qin and Han dynasties, to the great prosperity of the two Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties at the end of the Han Dynasty, the famous families all take monopolizing knowledge as their primary task, many rare books, and many exquisite imperial tricks are the secrets of each family!"

"It is said that the opening of the imperial examination in the Sui and Tang dynasties is a great progress, but who can know that the opening of the imperial examination in the Sui and Tang dynasties is actually a helpless move by the imperial family in order to fight against the famous family, the world's talents are in the wealthy families, and there are few decent talents under the emperor!"

"After the Song Dynasty, the common scholar class began to rise, and ordinary small landlords or wealthy families could also cultivate excellent intellectuals, which is of course the progress of the times, and this is also the key reason why the level of cultural governance in the Song Dynasty reached its peak in all dynasties in China!"

"But it's a pity that the people's hearts have a high ground, and their selfishness will never be extinguished, and the Confucian scholars have created a strange phenomenon of party strife! Forming a party and running a private business was played by this group of intellectuals with great skill, and later in the Ming Dynasty, because of the excessive admiration of Cheng Zhu Lixue, Confucianism gradually became Confucianism! A good group of intellectuals, what is not good to learn, they actually study religion to mythologize their identity!"

Xiao Letian said too much today, and his voice was unusually hoarse at the moment.

"Until now, China's Confucian scholars have completely taken over the officialdom, even the children of the Eight Banners have to bow their heads to this huge class, don't look at their bullish anger on the surface, but they don't count if they leave this group of Confucian scholars!"

"However, the times have changed, and the era of trying to rely on monopolizing knowledge and seizing power in the form of a party has passed, and our Chinese people will implement compulsory education for all in the future, and knowledge will no longer be put on the high shelf, nor will it become a privilege for a few people!"

"Scholars, or officials, are no longer in a class from now on, he is just a profession!"

"If all the people can receive education, then all the people will be scholars, farmers can be officials, craftsmen can be officials, soldiers can be officials, and merchants can of course be officials......

"It's obviously just a profession, why should I come out independently and give them privileges? What can I do even if I am the prime minister? I Xiao Lotian will only do two worlds, that is, ten years, if you ask me to do it, I will not serve you anymore! Lao Tzu, I owe you?"

"Prime Minister!" exclaimed to the people present, they all thought that the rules of the two ten-year terms were made for others, and in their minds, Xiao Lotian was beyond all the rules, because he was the one who made all the rules.

Xiao Letian pressed his hands weakly, shocking all the people, "The Chinese people are free, people's right to professional mobility is protected, today you become a high-ranking official does not mean that you will enjoy the power brought by the official position for the rest of your life, you will return to the people sooner or later, and you want to make a privileged class enjoy the happiness of life and life like in the past......?"

"Why should I have an independent army council, a merchant council, a scientific society, and a citizens' council in the citizens' assembly? It's not that I'm going to have these four classes, it's not that I haven't discarded the peasants, the workers, and the officials, no......

"The four subdivided councils actually represent the four basic elements of the future development of the Chinese community, and represent the direction we need to strive for!"

"If the Chinese want to develop and become strong, we can't do without the power of the army, the power of businessmen, the power of science and technology, and the power of the Chinese citizenry...... The four small councils under the citizens' assembly are actually to allow us to better stimulate this power, and definitely not to create four classes!"

"Now you should understand! Being an official is just a profession, a profession of serving the society, and it doesn't mean any privilege! Do you want privileges? It's very simple, please work hard, work hard, work hard for the benefit of the people, and make sure that your personal merits can enter the six lords and eighteen ranks!"

"My protégés, the sixth lord and the eighteenth rank are the privileges that reward you, don't think that your profession is a tool for you to obtain privileges, the profession is just a platform for you to better serve the society and accumulate merits for yourself!"

Xiao Lotian may have said too much, and suddenly coughed violently, Luo Huo next to him hurriedly handed over a cup of hot tea, Xiao Lotian took two sips and nodded at Sima Yun to let him finish reading the final content.

The last article of the Chinese Order is very interesting, and it is a topic of interest to people, mainly to explain what kind of privileges and benefits the six lords and eighteen others have.

I said a lot of constraints on the nobility before, such as double sentencing for crimes, three generations of decreasing, separation of knighthoods, etc., but when the benefits were read out one by one, the most promising people present suddenly became a sensation.

Different ranks of nobles enjoy different state allowances, and the specific payment standards of allowances are recalculated every ten years, take the lowest noble third baron as an example, what is the amount of state allowance he can get?

The algorithm is simple, multiply the average income level of the citizens of the society at that time by one hundred, this is the allowance treatment of a baron of the third class, this is the system of lifelong enjoyment.

The allowance of a baron of the third class is multiplied by one hundred, the allowance of a baron of the second class is two hundred, and the allowance is increased by two hundred.

The third-class earl's allowance is the average income level multiplied by one thousand, and then increased by three hundred.

By analogy, by the time you canonize a third-class duke, your allowance ratio will reach an astonishing four thousand, and each increase in the base number will increase by one thousand.

The highest first-class duke under the crown can reach the total income level of seven thousand people just by eating allowances.

"Oh my God, isn't this just 7,000 households?

In ancient times, people often said that the marquis of ten thousand households, in fact, ten thousand households in the food is rare in history, most of them are rewarded to the royal family with the same surname, and it is not easy to reward the marquis with a different surname, and at that time the reward of two or three thousand households is considered a heavy reward.

Most of the titles can get a few hundred households.

What's worse is that the productivity of ancient people was extremely low, and the value that individuals could create in the industrial age could not be compared at all.

If you don't count the gray income of the Qing Dynasty nobles, then the treatment of the dukes in the Chinese family has completely surpassed that of the Manchu princes!

"Good boy! The Duke's welfare is so high, so how good must the Duke be?" mobile phone users wènhttp://mnet
