Chapter 491: Each Has Its Own Purpose
When it comes to integrating other ethnic groups, the Han people have unique skills, or talents.
Because of the reform of the imperial examination system, the masters and scholars who had nothing to do but participate in the teaching of literacy classes found their goals for a while. To Jiaozhi to promote etiquette and promote Chinese culture is simply a noble cause, plus there are officials to do it, isn't it beautiful?
They held the Di newspaper, which had an article about going to Annan to be an indoctrination officer, and ran to tell each other about it.
The registration gates are overcrowded in various places, and Jiaozhi is not a very remote place, especially now that the imperial court has opened up trade routes everywhere, wherever the Ming merchants can reach, everything can be bought.
A weak man who was nearly middle-aged clasped his fists and lined up in front of him and asked, "Brother Liu!" Are you going to be an indoctrination officer here? ”
"Even if you are a talented person, how can you fall behind?"
The old scholar who was robbed of white didn't think it was a pestle, people were in good spirits at happy events, what happened if they didn't have fame? Liu Juren in front of him was also unlucky enough, the last shift of Emperor Chongzhen raised people, and before he could arrange an official position, Li Zicheng called. Finally, the country was stable, and this one came out to find the yamen again, and the yamen said that he didn't recognize the people of the year now, and asked him to take the test again. Liu Juren didn't care, he had studied hard for so many years, and Zhongju was not a matter of holding a handle, so he relied on his talent of eight strands of literature, but he was dumbfounded...
There are all kinds of exam questions, he almost vomited blood, and he entered the examination room like a fighting, and when he came out, he was like a wilting sparrow...
What is the purpose of reading?
Ten people answered the question, but everyone knew that the direct purpose was to be an official, and if the official couldn't do it and had no other skills, wouldn't it be a mixed meal and wait for death.
Fortunately, the imperial court later gave everyone an errand, as long as they were scholars, they could become gentlemen in the literacy class, so they had a bite to eat. But these people don't study to eat. The huge psychological gap is not something that ordinary people can bear, and only those who are truly intelligent and quick readers can quickly turn the corner and develop towards the knowledge that has been applied to the world.
In fact, since the reform of the imperial examination, most of the people who can win the examination are also former scholars, after all, if he can't even read all the words of the halfway monk, what will he take for the exam.
Hou Xuanyan is not to eliminate traditional culture, just to get rid of its dross, people who write good articles can still have a good way out, and a few books with real talents and real learning are sought-after talents, and there are many people who live well.
The rest are all these people who read dead books, these people can't do anything else, and the subset of scripture and history still understands.
Such a group of people were summoned from all over the country, and there were thousands of people in Jinling alone, and they uniformly issued documents and discs, and the official seal and transfer orders, and from then on they were registered indoctrination officials in the imperial court.
These people have been decadent for so many years, and they have been tortured both mentally and physically, and the so-called four bodies are not diligent and there is no distinction between grains and grains, that is, they are said.
Gu Shouzheng, the newly appointed secretary of the Ministry of Officials, looked at this group of crooked melons and cracked dates, and reluctantly commanded everyone to complete the distribution, turned back to Gu Yanwu who came to watch the ceremony, and said: "Nephew, this matter is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, I shouldn't have talked too much, but you also have to investigate carefully." Your Majesty has taken care of all these people as officials, and I always feel that it is inappropriate. ”
Gu Yanwu's age is not much different from Gu Shouzheng, but Gu Shouzheng is really his uncle's generation, and this person is extremely admitted, and he is not ambiguous about a nephew. Gu Yanwu had no choice, and said with a smile: "In my opinion, it is better to go to the palace and ask Your Majesty to take a look, when Your Majesty sees the appearance of these people, he may feel remorse, and it is better than you and my advice." ”
Gu Shouzheng nodded, and the two went to the palace together, and when they arrived at the Forbidden City, they came down to Yuhuayuan under the guidance of the eunuchs, and saw Hou Xuanyan waiting under the service of several palace maids and eunuchs, playing with King Jing and the princess, and there was a big fat boy next to him in the queen's arms, grinning. The three of them were around a wooden cart with three wheels, and they could move slowly without the need for a horse-drawn cart to push it.
Gu Yanwu glanced at His Royal Highness King Jing without a trace, wearing a red armor and a sleeveless blue mink fur, playing with great interest, there was no trace of grievance on his face, especially between his eyebrows and eyes, he was happier than before.
Hou Xuanyan got out of the car, and King Jing immediately rushed to the main seat with a whoosh and pedaled hard.
Hou Xuanyan put on the big hat under Qingluan's service, took the hand stove she handed over and said with a smile: "You guys came at the right time, look at the new invention of the Craftsman Pavilion, these people are really good, using wheels made of rubber instead of wooden wheels, so that the bumps in the car are greatly reduced." I see that this thing is not trivial, and in the future it will all be replaced with such wheels, and our roads will be well repaired, and the speed of transportation will be greatly improved from now on. ”
Gu Shouzheng coughed, didn't answer the question, but said: "Your Majesty, the indoctrination officers selected by the Ministry of Rites have been assembled and are waiting for departure on the outskirts of Jinling City. Weichenguan and other people are generally knowledgeable but think very highly of themselves, and let them educate the Yue people, I am afraid that it will be half the result. ”
"Oh? Isn't it bad? Let's go, let's see. Hou Xuanyan handed over the hand warmer to Qingluan, and took the two of them and a group of eunuchs out of the palace.
Qin He heard the emperor leaving the palace outside the palace, and immediately prepared Luan Yu, Hou Xuanyan took the horse whip from his hand and said, "It's too slow, let's ride a horse." ”
Qin He smiled and brought horses to the two Shangshu lords, Hou Xuanyan rode a horse and took them to the outside of the palace, the sun was shining outside the city, there were many pedestrians on the street, and the guards opened the way and soon came to the western suburbs of Jinling.
Xu Yuanbao, the general of the Jinling garrison, led his troops to escort these people south, and when he saw Hou Xuanyan dismount and salute, the surrounding Jinling soldiers and horses made way for a road and let the emperor and the monk Shangshu come in.
The emperor's Luan Yu and these scholars all knew each other, and they were all pleasantly surprised when they saw that the emperor had come. It seems that these officials are very valued, and ordinary officials take office, where is there a precedent for the royal driver to see them off.
Hou Xuanyan rode on a horse, inspecting these scholars, nodding frequently.
When everyone saw His Majesty smiling, they were obviously satisfied with their own rights and wrongs, and they couldn't help but raise their heads up, like a winning rooster.
Hou Xuanyan simply rode to the middle of the crowd, and along the way, they got out of the way and surrounded him.
"In the old days, all the princes who obeyed etiquette and kept righteousness were called Zhuxia. Since then, Hua and Xia as the Central Plains, called the Quartet 'Yi Barbarian Rong Di', the descendants do not seek Xia, Yi does not mess with Hua, this sage's words. Now I have sent you to enter Vietnam, and the Yue people are originally Han species, and they have been dyed for a long time, and they have fallen into Si, and my heart is very painful. It is advisable to encourage education, not to lose hope, and to achieve success as soon as possible. Let the Yue people know Chinese characters, speak Chinese, and no longer be bewitched by their fabricated history, and be the enemy of the same clan as me.
If the Yue people can abandon the crooked history and return to the right path, the merits of the Qing and other generals are no less than those of the generals. Let's go while the weather is still good! ”
Xu Yuanbao took the emotional crowd and embarked on the road to the south.
Hou Xuanyan said to Gu Shouzheng: "Anyone is useful, as long as they are given a suitable stage, these people are not pleasing to your eyes, but for my plan, there is no more suitable than them." The capture of Nanyang City is the credit of the soldiers of the three armies, so that they will no longer rebel and identify with the imperial court, but these people must be. The so-called making the best use of things and making the best use of people's talents is nothing more than that. ”
