It's normal, it's normal, the so-called loyalty and patriotism in this era are often premised, beneficial, and naturally loved, and if the king dares to raise taxes, he will directly become a bad person.

For Park Dehuan, he thought that he was relying on his strength to be the so-called envoy of the mission to gild, after all, the successful mission to the Celestial Empire was a good qualification, but for the real person in power, a person who was suddenly promoted was often a person who was prepared to be a substitute for the dead, just as no one gave him the real task of the mission.

Park Dehuan's trip to the imperial capital, can not be said to be pleasant, but not bad, at this time, the road repair of the imperial capital has been very complete, and it is not the summer rainy season, the security chiefs who were mobilized with money, the health and safety of the whole city began to care, this point, the presbyterian council did not learn from the Japanese and Singaporeans, with knives and whips to enforce the law, that is too undisciplined, they are not brain-dead Japanese and Singaporeans, nothing more than fines, the action is very simple.

The ground in the old city is neat, and there are no beggars, anyone who dares to beg in the imperial capital has been given a pass to be sent to Liaodong reclamation, and there is no return, of course, the street is also very noisy and dusty because of the huge project in the south of the city, but this is finally within the tolerance range.

Under the guidance of the old servant, Pu Dehuan dressed up as an ordinary scholar, in this era, this is not difficult to do, a person Shi Shiran went to the well-known commercial street in later generations, where it is said that there are eating, drinking and having fun, there are all kinds of movies, there are all kinds of snacks, he is less than thirty years old, it is the time to be active and novel, so he is naturally willing to see more.

However, there was one thing that made him very unhappy, or curious.

One thing that Pu Dehuan knows is that the imperial capital is preparing for next year's Enke, in fact, at this time in the imperial capital, there are already people who have begun to run over, looking for opportunities, in fact, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there has been a so-called "college entrance examination tutorial class" This terrible thing, that is, a group of scholars, do not do anything serious, and are locked in a small black room every day, learning how to deal with the many difficulties of the imperial examination.

Although the Presbyterian Council changed the exam questions, it was inevitable that some of the little people who were originally doing this business would be remembered, but at the same time, they also opened up a group of shows to enter this exam game, which greatly enriched the basic plate of this "exam economy".

As the saying goes, if there are too many liars, there are not enough fools, but at one time, thousands of fools were created, and they entered the sequence of the imperial examination in the imperial capital that they could not enter, and after being hungry and thirsty for countless years, they naturally ran around like flies without heads.

People who are trapped in the Xiucai class and can't get to the level of lifting people are basically reading books and reading dead books, they really can't get their senses, and their IQ is not high, and the people who can come to the imperial capital so quickly are somewhat wealthy, but they can't reach the level where they could have bribed Shangguan and completed the township test.

This is a bitter paradox, and it is also the sorrow of these foreign candidates, but then again, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, many people have studied, and those places near the Chenghuang Temple in the old imperial capital were the places where the "college entrance examination factory" was located at that time.

Regardless of whether these people can survive the new college entrance examination of the Presbyterian Church, just look at their other wave of victims.

Pu Dehuan raised his neck, and suddenly took a closer look from outside the crowd, it seemed that something was going on, so there were countless people watching, so he was also a little curious, but he held his own identity, but it was inconvenient to squeeze in, and the servant next to him could be a thug at most, and his Chinese was very ordinary.

"I'll just say, if you're greedy for a small price and suffer a big loss, these outsiders are just careless."

"The government doesn't care about it, I think they have almost caught those ruffians and gangsters, why don't they catch those liars, I don't think there are many people left."

"Why not, those liars are everywhere, all with names and surnames, and they deceive outsiders."

It seemed to be very noisy, and Pu Dehuan saw that from the crowd, an old man came out shaking his head, looking like a scholar, with a white beard, and the combing was smooth, so he walked over and said respectfully: "This old gentleman." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" When that person saw Park Dehuan's dress, he could probably guess that his status was not low, so he also accepted it generously.

Park Dehuan said: "Old man, what's going on here." ”

"What's the ...... happened?" the old man seemed to be very depressed and sighed, and said: "Sven's sweeping of the floor, the collapse of etiquette, and the decline of the world are all over." ”

Park Dehuan seemed to be very puzzled, the old man pointed to the crowd, and said: "It's not these, dozens of years old, I can't get into a lifter, and now, I heard that you can take the Enke, these old talents, but it's like crazy demons, if you want to take the test, is it so easy, that's luck, it's talent, it's not going through the back door." ”

Pu Dehuan seemed to have an understanding, nodded, and said, "This is just a few people who are eager for quick success." ”

Park Dehuan quickly understood, what happened, in North Korea, there is also a imperial examination, but in North Korea, this kind of thing belongs to the noble ruling class, in addition to the royal family, to become a scholar and a nobleman, the mother must be Mrs. Zheng, if it is the descendant of a concubine, you will never become a scholar, and the descendants of Mrs. Zheng are eligible to participate in the imperial examination, and the descendants of the concubine cannot participate in the imperial examination for the rest of their lives.

Pu Dehuan is the descendant of the concubine, and he could only be a middle-aged person, but he dared to play with his life and dare to go to Liaodong like a wolf and a tiger, so he was a bit rushed.

This is the same as in the Celestial Empire, as long as you have a little bit of assets, you can afford to buy books, please ask a reliable teacher, as long as the child's intelligence is no problem, willing to study, first get a child's title to mix for a few days, in the local Xuezheng fancies, in the examination of a Xiucai, then there is a certain economic and political status, to be honest, get the qualification of Xiucai, if you don't have a mind to go to the exam, go to open a private school, or go somewhere to mingle with the life, in fact, you can live a very nourishing life.

In good conscience, although the imperial examination system of the Celestial Empire is pitfall, with the productivity of this era, it is like this, and if people who have reached the level of Xiucai are not so eager for quick success, they can really live a very nourishing life.

However, I am afraid of but, how can they be convinced, they are also scholars, after other people have done the promotion, in fact, they have the qualifications to become lower-level officials, and they also have all kinds of attractive political treatment, and even like Fan Jinzhong, there are immediately people who want to evade taxes and forced labor to join and follow, have a family and a business, and the gap between one and the other is too big.

This huge gap has led to many unconvinced talents to go to exams year after year to consume their youth, so in the Ming Dynasty, there were some people who took the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunistic and go through the back door.

In fact, it's nothing, that is, secretly taking the exam questions, or bribing the examiner, and making secret notes in some places, so that you can ensure that they can pass the test.

In the Ming Dynasty, due to the Donglin Party, which brought disaster to the country and the people, this kind of thing has become a commonplace problem, and even the only well-known case of fraud in the imperial examination is actually an unlucky case that swept down Tang Bohuken, who was originally very promising as the champion.

Of course, in North Korea, it is not so troublesome, and there are only two classes of noble children who can take the exam, which is almost a selection of O.1 population.

And a group of young people, at their very young age, were told that they had to do almost nothing, that there were countless glory and wealth, and they would naturally fall into it, although in the future, they would still fight with each other for power, but that was a skill point in intrigue, not a skill in real learning.

That is to say, when I was in North Korea, the so-called imperial examination was a disguise, a look, and a formality, in fact, Park Dehuan himself became a gunman for the imperial examination conducted by his brother.

Because of this, Park Dehuan felt a little empathy, and at the same time, he also knew that the imperial examination of the Celestial Empire also had a lot of cats, not to mention anything else, even a person like Tang Bohu, who everyone called a genius, was also affected by others, and he was directly disqualified from the examination, which is seriously not.

And in front of him, the old man said: "That kid was originally a showman in Shandong, and many years of showmanship became an old showman, no, I heard that this time Enke, even Xiucai can also take the exam, so he hurriedly ran over, but, the ghost was obsessed, believed in other people's scams, and in the end, he deceived all his net worth to others, no, what's the use of crying and grabbing the ground." ”

Park Dehuan didn't have any sympathy for that Xiucai, at most he just watched jokes, but he found it interesting that the "elders" in the palace didn't care about this kind of chaos.

"This kind of person should be dealt with strictly, and when you see the thunder method, it is really insulting."

The old man said: "What's the use of this, this show doesn't know what the contract, people say that after signing the deed, you can naturally find the examiner, for his traffic examiner, he was taken to the big house, who knows who he saw, in that house, there are also people, there are family maids, there are self-proclaimed examiners, after coming back, naturally believe everything, at that time I gave all the silver tickets I brought with me." ”

Listening to what the old man said, Park Dehuan immediately understood what he said, and said, "Naturally, I am going to be deceived." ”

"But isn't it, there are more than a dozen talents in the show at a time, and when it comes out afterwards, people go to the empty building, and then what is the use of any deed, everyone runs away."

Park Dehuan said: "Then it can only remind people of their long memory." ”

"That's a reminder, Li Lingzhi is dizzy."

Looking at the old man's emotional appearance, Pu Dehuan said: "Seeing that you are so out of the matter, but you don't look like a candidate." ”

The old man said: "I am a person from the imperial capital, I think I don't have this ability, what kind of imperial examination can I take, and reading is just reasonable, but looking at this ups and downs, it is really painful." ”

"This is also the mishandling of the new dynasty, it must be ...... Some people are blinded to listen, if there is a holy son of heaven on the throne, they think they are different. ”

The old man sighed and said, "Where is the problem of the Son of Heaven, it is that people's hearts have long been broken. ”

Pu Dehuan's heart suddenly moved, and said: "Dare to ask the old man, what I saw before, the people who walk back and forth on the street and spend money generously are either scholars dressed as Confucians, or they look like ordinary people, dressed in short clothes, but they are also very rich, what is the situation." ”

The old man nodded and said: "What the guest officer said makes sense, now, this is also a scene in my imperial capital, it turns out that after the elders came to the imperial capital, the vast number of workers, what to repair the road, fill the trenches, dig up the garbage, don't look at the hard work, it is really money, no, most of them have made a lot of money, naturally they buy new clothes, eat and drink, and naturally it is lively, you see some people, still dressed as coolies, but eat and drink, that is the new clothes have not been cut, so it looks like that." ”

Pu Dehuan sighed with emotion in his heart and said: "These coolies are too unruly, inferior people, naturally they should also look like inferior people, they make money, and they are so ostentatious in the market, how can this work, they don't keep their duties." ”

He suddenly thought of some of the words that Li Xiangqian said, and naturally in his heart, he didn't have a good impression of this phenomenon at all.

The old man seemed to be a little ridiculed, and said: "The little brother is a foreigner, he doesn't sound like a Zhili person, this is also the result of people's hard work, and as far as I know, most of the men, who have worked hard to make money, and few of them squander wantonly, will find a way to start living a better life, which is good." ”

Park Dehuan sighed, his brows furrowed, he looked at the comings and goings on the street, whether it was the self-boasting scholars or the laborers who came to see the fresh scene, they all showed something that he had never seen in North Korea.

Vitality.

In the past six months, what the elders have really changed in this world is not the territory of the rule, nor the elimination of this small Manchu regime, but the beginning of fundamentally changing the way of thinking of people in this society.

For example, to get rich through labor, for example, the imperial examination is unreliable.

The liar group was actually a very rampant group in the Ming Dynasty, and some people even collected the deception of these liars and took it to write a book of deception, which contained all kinds of deception and strange 6 liars, which is simply a strange thing in human history.

What many people don't know is that originally, from the perspective of being heavy, fast, and strict, the crackdown in the imperial capital has completely ignored the so-called legal system from the very beginning, and directly dealt with all kinds of ruffians who usually make trouble and occasionally collect protection money, but those who engage in fraud in the imperial capital have already been investigated with the help of eavesdroppers.

However, for the Presbyterian Church, it is almost difficult to destroy the face and honor of the so-called scholar group in this era, and let the people of the world show their stupidity and short-sightedness, if they lose some privileges.

That's the problem of the times.

If it weren't like the late Qing Dynasty, when they were slapped in the face by foreigners, how could people gradually realize that Confucianism could no longer adapt to this world armed with science.
