Chapter 526: Shilin
Aside from the scene that happened in Jinyiwei, at this time on the Bianhe River, a passenger ship was slowly sailing into the East Water Gate.
The cold weather does not reduce the color of the Bianhe River, the forests on both sides of the river are dripping green, and the population is dense; Boats on the river come and go, end to end.
Although the hour has not yet passed, this sprawling city is already bustling with activity and prosperity.
As one of the four canals of Caoyun, the Bianhe River is one of the most important blood transfusion arteries in Bianjing.
Either the slender man pulling, or the boatman rocking the oars, some are full of goods, and some are swimming against the current, and some are anchored and unloading nervously.
This lively scene is already commonplace for the local people, but for many newcomers, it is so pleasant.
In the Zhangtai Hook Column, the melodious singing of the courtesans has already floated on the surface of the river, even if it is still morning!
But this is the prosperity of Greater Tokyo, and the earth is absolutely No.1 in this era.
"Brother Chang, Brother Zhang, along the way, the scenery on both sides of the strait is magnificent, and the prosperity of the imperial capital is even more intoxicating. The poor little brother was born in Jiangnan, although he had long heard of the beautiful scenery of the imperial capital, but he was used to seeing the prosperity of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and thought that it was the ultimate in the world. I never thought about it, but the little brother couldn't do it. ”
"It's not just Brother Jiang, why isn't the younger brother like this?" Zhang Xinmin said generously: "The ancients said: Climb the East Mountain and Xiaolu, climb Mount Tai and the small world, but Xinmin here is to view Huai'an and small Huainan, and Dengchuzhou and small Tokyo." ”
"Before I arrived in Tokyo, I didn't know how prosperous the world was. When I am too learned, I will definitely take a good turn in the city! ”
The three of them are all children of eunuchs, and they are also students who were admitted to Taixue in the same class, and their parents and grandparents are all listed on the 'Yuanyou Party Monument', and now they have been on the same passenger ship one after another, which can be said to be fateful.
"Haha, this is nature, otherwise wouldn't it be a disappointment to this prosperous beauty?"
The boatman who was riding next to him listened to these words, and smiled silently. He has listened to such conversations too much over the years.
The few people standing at the bow of the boat were not very old, they were all wearing cyan robes, and they all had long eyebrows and clear eyes, and they had a bookish air on their bodies. Looking at the appearance, it is obviously a student who came to Taixue!
It's August, isn't it the day of the start of school?
These are all future officials.
Since the reform of the imperial examination system in the imperial court, not only has the content of the imperial examination been changed, arithmetic and justice have been added, but also the importance of these two pieces has been pushed to the point of second only policy in one fell swoop, and the scriptures and poems have been reduced to embellishments that can only be icing on the cake.
It can be said that it is a subversive change since the birth of the imperial examination system!
In addition to the changes in the content of the scientific examination, the imperial court also added the Lifting Department and the Talent Section.
The two correspond to the large and small officials of the administrative units at the state and county and road levels, respectively. It can't follow up on the Shike comparison, but it can be regarded as a supplement to the lack of local government after the merger of officials.
At the same time, institutions such as Taixue and Guozijian are the highest institutions of learning in the country, and the largest source of its students is all kinds of lifters. Those who are unwilling to enter the office as a 'lifter' and are under the age of 25 can apply for Taixue or Guozijian.
Before the age of 30, they may be able to pass the Jinshi examination, or they may be directly recommended for internships in various departments of the central government through good academic performance, which is as long as they can pass the three-month assessment period, then they can stay.
is also a sesame official from Jiupin, or a clerk and a small official, is it better to roll in the township, or to mix in the six departments of the central government?
The answer is not asked.
Therefore, the assessment of national schools such as Taixue and Guozijian is also very strict.
Zhao Gou didn't want to see the officials under his hands, all of them looked stupid and stupid, he changed the curriculum of high-level schools such as Taixue and Guozijian before launching the promotion of lifting people and showing talents. Many old officials of several years were found from the localities, and some capable ministers were recruited, reducing the four books and five classics, and adding subjects such as literature and politics, mathematics, engineering, justice, and agriculture, and the first subject of Chinese politics included 31 items of general knowledge required for officials to take office, such as worshipping gods, making books and texts, official classics, printing letters and yamen, prisons, rising and extinguishing lawsuits, field grain, warehouses, accounting grain storage, various courses, fish lakes, gold and silver fields, kiln metallurgy, salt farms, official houses, number of scholars, senior citizens, official households, domestic Confucians, idle and non-business, and law-breaking households.
If it is an institution that you learn with real talent, as long as you are not dazzled by the world of flowers in Bianjing City and abandon your studies in the next few years, you will definitely have a good way out before the age of thirty. And if there are really a few people who haven't landed until they are thirty years old, this is also a shame for those national brands, isn't it?
It is said that Zhao Gouxian's reputation in Zhao Song Shilin is mixed, but it is much better than the one-man national thief at the beginning.
Part of this improved reputation, it is undeniable that the great Song Dynasty's current outstanding military exploits account for a large proportion, and Zhao Gou's subsequent promotion of the promotion and talent fame has also played a role.
Even if he reformed the imperial examination, poetry and art have completely taken a back seat, but the strategy is still there? And it is the largest proportion.
In addition, as long as the people and talents are in the examination, they can enter the official mansion to do business, even if the status is lower, but after the merger of officials, the lowest-level Xiucai will also have the same day as the feudal territory, right?
Don't say anything else, let's just say that Li Ruoxu, this person is the second brother of Li Ruoshui, a famous minister of Jingkang.
Li Ruoshui in history was killed for two years without yielding, but Li Ruoshui in this time and space is still alive and well.
It's just that people compare that, and they followed Zhao Huan all the way to Jiangnan, and they don't look down on Zhao Gou's virtue in snatching his brother's position. is still a guest in Zhao Huan's palace.
But Li Ruoxu was different, and he got to Zhao Gou's boat early. From the place where Zhao Gou started his troops, he has been working on the transfer of military supplies, and it has only been five years since he was already the deputy envoy of the transfer of Jingnan Road.
This person has old qualifications and a special identity, and Zhao Gou feels that promoting this person is very representative. At least it can show that he is open-minded and will not take the initiative to seek trouble from the families of a certain group of people.
And although Li Ruoxu doesn't work articles, he has been taking care of housework at home before, but he is not stupid.
Of course, there is no splendid article in the stomach, but he is cautious, conscientious and responsible, and quite sensitive to numbers, which is exactly the talent in the field of material transfer.
Coupled with Zhao Gou's vigorous cultivation in recent years, it is not that he blindly promotes Li Ruoxu for no reason, but is the first thing that comes to mind when he has the opportunity. Give him plenty of opportunities to make meritorious contributions! As long as this Li Ruoxu can hold up, he will naturally be able to rise in a short period of time, just like Li Wei in the Yonglaosi Dynasty in history.
Someone above favors you, Jane is in the emperor's heart, so you don't have to worry about the credit being snatched away by others in the first place; Secondly, you don't need to worry about not having the opportunity to show your abilities.
As long as there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, the first person to be sent is a person like him.
Therefore, it has only been five years, and now Li Ruoxu has been the deputy envoy of the transfer all the way and has become a representative figure of the official transfer.
Saying "famous all over the world" is not false at all!
Zhao Gou: This is also looking for more jobs for the world's scholars, isn't it?
Although the voices that these people can make now are not as loud as those of some great Confucian celebrities, they can't be underestimated? And the potential is deep, and the future is endless!
It can be said that although Zhao Gou exonerated Shilin lightly, his reputation was reduced to the lowest point in history.
But with real power, he has an innate advantage that Shilin can't match, and he is the emperor who dominates the world.
It's like the king of the channel in 9012, no matter how awesome your product is, you have to bow your head in front of the king.
Zhao Gou has now promoted the king to the emperor, if you are willing to follow my rules, I will take you to play, and if you don't want to, you will roll away.
Therefore, the voice of the official will move closer and closer to his will, and many scholars who take being an official as their goal will also use practical operations to express their position.
And when the voice of the official is unified, the voice of the people (Shilin) is not so important.
In the future, the opposition in Shilin will become weaker and weaker, and their voice will become lower and lower. If Zhao Gou could live for another thirty or fifty years, he would definitely be able to see the day when the opposition disappeared in Shilin.
Because in China, there is no future for "scholars" who can't be officials and can't get ahead!
Time will quickly eliminate the 'diehards', Zhao Gou seems to have thrown himself into the valley, but he is also very magically put himself in a position where he will only rise and not fall!
