Of course, Akagi wanted to visit the school.

As a country heavily influenced by China, Japan has gone off the rails in bushido, but the general direction of development for Japan is still on the right track.

The number of self-created technological cultures in Japan's history is: 0.

This is a shocking figure, but I have to admit that it is a fact, and all the things that Japan can be said to be counted are all things that have been developed and matured by other countries, and although there have been some strange situations in them, the general route is good.

Of course, the imperial capital is too big, the amount of information is too large, the bookstore is too big, and Akagi Gangken's existing budget is simply not enough to buy all the books.

However, it is also a good idea to go to more places.

In fact, many elders have gone to Japan in various capacities, after all, the old wets led by *** have brushed too much favorability for Japan, although these favorability levels are all going down the three ways, but they are also favorability.

Those elders drew a very wonderful blueprint, Japan will build a railway through the east and west, large rice fields will be added to the fertilizer, especially the idea of the railway, which makes all of them yearn for it, in fact, the railway is almost a must-go place for people of insight who come to the imperial capital, of course, in order to enter the capital conveniently, it is natural to take a car.

Although the southern section of the railway has already been built, but it still takes time to open, at present, it is mainly to transport materials, and at the same time to give the Cao Bang who still needs time to transform quickly ashore or quickly go to the sea, so at present, the northbound route of the mainstream in the south is still to take the canal, and only get on the train after arriving in Tianjin.

Of course, a small number of avant-garde people took a sea ship to enter Beijing, and some of them needed courage.

"Shi Gong, you slow down."

A young man helped a middle-aged man, handed over a small bottle, and said: "It's good to rub some cool oil, this cool oil prevents heatstroke and mosquitoes, and has some benefits for seasickness." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's here, but it's been disturbing your hard work these days." ”

The young man seemed to be very frightened, and said, "This is not the study of saints, but just a play in the scientific field. ”

"Hey, how do you say this, what method people like to use to recruit Jinshi, it's all people's business, as they said in the edict, Baguwen is only two hundred years, it's not an important thing, but it's a pity that those laypeople seem to have lost something."

"Shi Gong is talented, but he is indifferent to fame and fortune, if he wants to take the civil service exam in the imperial capital, he must be in high school."

Zhang Dai smiled and said nothing, but he didn't answer the words, the reasons for his refusal to participate in the imperial examination are naturally varied, but the upstarts of the imperial capital think about things, how can it be so simple.

People are shuffling the cards.

Zhang Dai's family has been an official for generations, and they have long been full, so they really don't have the motivation to wade into troubled waters, but in order to keep their wealth and wealth for a long time, it is still necessary to come to the imperial capital.

It is a striking fact that the elders have had little contact with the big families for several years.

"Recently, I plan to write a book on night sailing, in which I write about all kinds of miscellaneous chores, which is the strategy of the imperial capital test, but it also has the same effect."

The young man immediately said: "It's just that there are many officials in the imperial capital, and I can't pass the Four Books and Five Classics, so I get these messy things to disturb people's minds, but well, I wait for Jiangnan scholars, even if I take these chores, I am better than them, when the time comes, the power is in hand, and naturally I can change it back, change it back." ”

Zhang Dai smiled and said, "Can you really change it back?" ”

In the current Jiangnan, those who go to the north to take the exam are basically treated as traitors, lackeys and traitors, of course, this fashion and there is no nationalist ideology, but the vigilance of Yixia is still there, of course, this is also related to its economic model.

So although these people looked at the books of the imperial capital and curried favor with the novelties of buying the imperial capital, they naturally made excuses for themselves to enter the imperial capital and restore the Four Books and Five Classics is their rhetoric.

"Of course, for thousands of years, I have been reading the Four Books and Five Classics to become an official, but today I don't take the exam, isn't this leading the beast to eat people, we don't agree."

Zhang Dai said: "The ship is about to dock, remember not to say too much about me to the outside world." ”

"Yes, the student obeys."

This small barge slowly sailed into the harbor, only when it really entered the harbor, only to find that there was a hole in the inside, there were almost more than 100 large ships moored here at the same time, and the uniform arrangement and ship type, to the first time to see this scene to the people to a great shock.

The new seagoing ships in the north are the works of the northern ship group, compared to their southern counterparts, the stereotyped ships can be mass-produced, and at present, the most suitable ratio has been preliminarily explored, that is, the most suitable for use in this era, and coal-fired coal-fired boiler ships can also be found at the destination.

This is very important, burning oil or avionics sounds beautiful, but the technology in this world is not so adequate, what if there is no fuel at the destination.

Coal is the mainstream heating material used in the Ming Dynasty and even surrounding countries, as long as it is properly arranged in advance, the source of coal can be found in the main shipping routes, which does not even need to be bothered by the elders, of course, at present, if you want to buy such a ship, you must register in Tianjin, pay taxes, and receive training from the imperial capital, and it is impossible to get rid of the technical support of the imperial capital, otherwise where can you get those parts?

In later generations, there was a leader of the Hunan army, who saw a fast-moving steamship on the Yangtze River, quickly overtaking the wooden ship of our Qing Dynasty, and it was not good at that time, and he vomited blood and died.

Of course, the large-scale fleet that Zhang Dai saw, but it belongs to the Han people in the north themselves, this kind of shock and blow is much smaller, compared to the later generations of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people have long regarded themselves as a dog of the Eight Banners nobles, the people of this era at least the spirit is still higher, in fact, Zhang Dai saw the built Big Ben in Shaoxing, so he moved to the north to see the market.

Of course, the first impression was not bad, but slowly under the command, he entered the exclusive dock docking, but the air gradually became bad, coughed twice, and the little guy next to him hurriedly came over to inquire, but Zhang Dai raised his head and looked at the smoke in the distance, "It's okay, is this ship really burning coal, no wonder it's so smokey." ”

"Coal is not allowed to be used for cooking in the imperial capital, and it is forbidden to burn sacrificial objects in the temple, and the air is much better than in the past."

In many notes of later generations, the air quality of the imperial capital during the Ming and Qing dynasties was not very optimistic.

It is a mud house, lacking greening ability, and the mountainous area north of the North China Plain is a special environment for retaining polluted air, plus there are coal mines near the imperial capital, so it is natural to be pulled and sold.

In terms of greening and environmental protection, the emperor can count them, and the reason why he temporarily uses coal as a fuel for ships is also difficult to promote technology.

Zhang Dai didn't say much, the ship he took was a local sea ship in the south of the Yangtze River, which was originally a Japanese route, but recently the northern economy has become more and more promising, so many people are also good, just talking about the cost, shipping is indeed stronger than the canal.

The boss of the ship didn't know Zhang Dai's identity, he only knew that these scholars were going to the imperial capital, probably because they wanted to be officials or something, of course, they gave money, and naturally they all lived on the ship.

How many times have they already run away since they went to hand over to the customs, and the business partners outside the port have long been in a hurry, and the demand for southern products in this imperial capital is still very high, at least let the elders play hard, it will be difficult to make too much tea.

Zhang Dai was here for the first time, and he didn't have what they called "ID card", so he could only register there.

"Write down your identity yourself."

Originally, the housekeeper wanted to take everything down, but Zhang Dai felt that since he came to see the freshness, it was best to experience a full set by himself, this identity certificate, is a small grid, what name, character, place of origin, age, marriage and other situations are simple and understandable, but any literate person can also write quickly, of course, those such as family relations and other content began to be half-truths, but it is the Spring and Autumn penmanship, what is said is the truth, but ambiguous.

It seemed that he looked at Zhang Dai suspiciously, this person is not young, but he seems to be well maintained, so after stamping, he sent him a small piece of paper and said: "After you live down, go to the local neighborhood committee to apply for a temporary residence permit, remember to apply for a health certificate." ”

Zhang Dai got a card, looked at it carefully, it said Shaoxing people, Zhang Yu, white face and slight beard, but he remembered the joke, and didn't say anything, after putting it away, he watched his servants go to handle it one by one, and compared the attitude of the person, this young man is literate and hyphenated, and the most valuable thing is that the servants and the master are also treated equally, with a kind attitude, secretly surprised, you know, in the Ming Dynasty, it is already customary for small officials to do things and collect money.

Under the system of the Ming Dynasty, the largest county yali is naturally the magistrate, called the chief official. He has two deputies, one is the county clerk and the other is the chief bookkeeper, and these two are called Zuo Erguan. They are all high-grade court officials, county administrators, and under these three people, there is also a person in charge of the office history, called the chief official, but there is no rank, and he is not in the stream.

The most important administrative institution in the yamen is called three classes and six rooms: three classes refer to the soap class, the strong class, the fast class, responsible for the honor guard, public security, arrest and the like, sometimes there will be one more capture class, and the fast class together, that is, the common people are familiar with the fast catch, and the six rooms correspond to the six departments of the imperial court, which are divided into six departments, such as rites, officials, households, workers, soldiers, and criminals, each with a competent business.

The people who work in these institutions are collectively called officials, that is, officials.

In ancient times, there were no photocopiers and cameras, and official documents were all written by the hand, and with a stroke of the pen, a few words were secretly tampered with, which could often determine the fate of a person or even a household.

Zhang Dai remembered that there was a local bookstore in his hometown, and he took a fancy to a farmer's wife and daughter, so he did something in the account book, and a peasant would be worse off than dead, and when he paid taxes, he forced his family's six acres of third-class barren land into a first-class field, and as a result, the estimated land tax to be paid doubled, and in the end, the farmer's family was ruined, and the mother and daughter were brought into the house.

The clerk is a kind of officials, they have no official status, they are not counted in the system, and their salaries are not included in the state financial expenditure, but these people control the specific government affairs, and they are locals, and they are more familiar with the local situation and laws and regulations than the officials, and it is easy to do tricks and feet from them, and sometimes the life is more nourishing than that of the chief official.

Therefore, they are forced to collect money, but the money they collect is obviously greater than what they pay, and they are extremely greedy, which is excessive.

Zhang Dai knew one thing, that is, before the city of Luoyang was broken, King Nafu was finally willing to spend some money to appease the people and recruit villagers to resist the thieves, but the money sent down was divided layer by layer before it reached the hands of the people.

Many times, Zhang Dai watched the Ming Dynasty day by day, but also disheartened, when talking with people, the greed of the officials, is definitely the biggest malpractice, when the insects gnaw the tree, often do not care about what will happen to the tree after it is gnawed to death, so he desperately gnaws it.

The magistrate is born in the imperial examination, proficient in the classics, but may not understand the general affairs, not to mention that he is a liuguan, and he will be transferred away after a few years, although the officials are of humble status, they are well versed in the hometown, hold each other, and control most of the grassroots government affairs, so in the ecological circle of the county government, the Xu officials group can be at odds with the county lord, it is really urgent, and the officials can use their means to even force the county to leave.

How to keep the officials from being corrupt is almost an ultimate problem, and in the end of the Ming Dynasty, but a Hai Rui did it with his own integrity and oppression of his subordinates.

Zhang Dai was in Tianjin, but he saw the living official who did not charge money, the young man recorded the basic information of the person who came to the north for the first time on this boat, and sent a stamped document, and then he could leave, as if he had no attachment at all, took out a glass of water that was not transparent and drank the mung bean soup inside, suddenly raised his head, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Ah, I'm asking, how old is the little brother, and how long has he been doing this errand here."

"Ah, 16, it didn't take long, I just got it this week."

"Oh, you got ...... Is this seat a door? ”

"There is no way, you can get credits for participating in social services, it is relatively boring here, and there are not many people who are willing to come."

This job in Tianjin Port itself is a fictitious post, and when the world is unified, everyone has an ID card, at most it is a strict inspection of foreigners, which is what is still used permanently, and in fact, it is also very idle, a ship always takes time to enter and exit, and perennial sailors need to re-register, there is no health certificate handled by the imperial capital, and they do not want to work here for a long time.
