Chapter 325: Lu Qian's 'Government'
People can perhaps be divided into two categories: those who have a little ambition and those who don't. For ordinary people, that little bit of ambition is a firm motivation to pull themselves out of their ordinary life; Those who do not have that little ambition can only be powerless or even unconscious, slowly overwhelmed by ordinary life. In times of change, that little ambition can lead to spectacular results.
Which of the following statements constitutes a refutation of the above view ()
Armor. Liu Bei, who weaves straw shoes, has never forgotten that he is the emperor's uncle. With this alone, he went from being empty-handed to having one of the three points in the world
Second. Although Zhang Xiong is ambitious, he is mediocre in intelligence and has worked hard all his life, but he has achieved nothing, and he has been bruised all over his body
Third. Ding Meng has neither any ambition nor special talent, only by nepotism, he has nobles to help him all his life, and he has risen step by step in the officialdom
Fourth. Wang Qing is neither talented nor powerful, but he thinks very highly of himself, constantly tosses, and has a prosperous life
……
Wang Sheng looked at the test paper in front of him, his eyes flashed with fine light, isn't it difficult.
Liang Shanbo used vernacular Chinese, which he could understand completely, but before that, he was worried that he could not understand literature and ink, and he would be at the bottom of everyone. Now, as long as you can read words, you can take the exam. Because of this so-called multiple-choice question, it is like fighting and suppressing, and you can always score.
Of course, if you want to get a high score, it is not enough to rely on this, you also need to have enough professional knowledge.
Yes, the people of Liang Shanbo said so before the opening, expertise.
Just like the division of this exam, there are only about 50 people, but it is divided into three categories: government affairs, taxation, and justice. Wang Sheng had no doubt and chose the judicial department, because he was born as a day servant.
At the beginning, his eldest brother Wang Xingnai was a hawker and merchant who walked the streets and alleys, running around the city every day, walking through the streets and alleys, and living by selling. The days are hard, but the family is reunited. Wang Xing, the elder brother, takes great care of his younger brother, and it is good to get a wife, and he has never disliked Wang Sheng, who is still a minor. But every day is not a holiday, his brother went away at a young age, leaving only a lonely sister-in-law, and life is really bitter to death at this time. His sister-in-law has a two-point posture and is young, so she was taken by a hole in the yamen, and she often went there to walk around, and insisted on hooking up. This woman had lost her husband, and was suffering from food and clothing, and was hungry for food and drink, so they became acquainted with each other, made a hole in the outer room, and moved out of the king's house. It stands to reason that the woman and Wang Sheng no longer wanted to do it, but the woman was kind-hearted, not only did she not draw a clear line with Wang Sheng, but begged in front of Kongmu, who wanted to please her, so she agreed, and Wang Sheng had a bowl of food. Later, Wang Shengzi should be careful, and asked Kong Mu to agree. After more than a year, Kong Mu saw that he was very decent and tall, so he first asked him to help others, and then filled him with an errand for him in the yamen, so that he had both food and clothing.
It's just that this day is a shame. When he went to the grave to worship his brother during the New Year's holidays, Wang Sheng longed to die in front of the grave.
But according to his conscience, that Kong Mu is also worthy of him, and treats him well. Wang Sheng was only annoyed by his incompetence and lack of talent.
After that, the situation changed abruptly, and Liangshanbo rose. When the hole was broken in Dongping Mansion, he fell ill and whimpered. The lady in the main house of the house took someone to take the outer house and expelled Wang Sheng's sister-in-law, along with the daughter born to the woman and Confucius, and Wang Sheng naturally brought the woman's mother and daughter into the house. This angered Kong Mu's wife even more, his mother's brother was also an errand in the yamen, and he was also the household Cao of the government office. Wang Sheng hated it deeply.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Sheng descended Liangshanbo so cleanly after Liangshanbo entered Dongping Mansion for the second time. The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, but is it a human?
The examination paper of this Liangshanbo 'scientific examination' is divided into three points: A, B, and C, and A is a public paper, and the three subjects are the same. Some of the topics are quite in line with the voices of these traitors to the Great Song Dynasty. You don't have to be ambitious!
Wang Sheng's ambition is to overthrow all those who oppress him. The maiden brother of Mrs. Kongmu Zhengmu, now he smiled and saw that Cao was beheaded by Liang Shanjun after being announced in public.
B is the so-called professional volume, in which most of the questions are professional knowledge, such as some norms in the "Song Criminal Code". Of course, these are also some of the regulations that Liang Shanbo has approved after filtering the rules and regulations.
One of the questions was asked: A gang of robbers was found by the neighbors and dispersed when they robbed a family. The thief was resentful and gave the two apprentices an order: "From now on, rob people, and those who have saved them will be killed first." The apprentice promised.
After some time, the gang of robbers went to rob another family. The head of the household was a single old woman, and the three robbers tied her up, begged for goods, tortured her, and forced her to hand over her belongings. The old woman wailed, and her neighbor couldn't bear it when she heard the wailing, so she went over and persuaded the robber: "This old man has no property, and it is useless for you to beat her to death like this." In a fit of rage, the thief's apprentice stabbed his nosy neighbor to death.
Is it correct that the three robbers were arrested by the government, the two apprentices were first subdued in prison, and the three were later sentenced to death? And what is the basis?
The score of the professional paper is higher, and if you want to get a high score, the question and answer questions after this are far sharper than the topic selection. And the same professional issue will never be known to those who have an understanding of the judiciary.
Wang Sheng is the one who understands, there is ink in his belly, and he naturally writes like a god.
According to the provisions of the "Song Criminal Code", robbers are not allowed to make money, and they are imprisoned for two years; …… Those who hurt people, hanging; Murderer, beheaded; The same goes for killing and injuring slaves and maids; Although he is not a rich man, he is killed and injured because of theft. Therefore, the three men were sentenced to beheading, and the legal principle is here.
Then there was a new legislation in the Zhao and Song dynasties during the Xining period, "Whoever kills someone, although he is dead, he is a servant who is executed, although he is plundered, if he can be subdued first, he will be asked, and he wants to reduce the law by one level."
In this case, the thief had ordered his apprentice: "If there is a rescuer, kill him first." "It can be seen that the thief should be the first offender in the murder case, and the two apprentices who committed the murder were only carrying out the master's order and should be accomplices. Moreover, after they were arrested, they were "brought to prison first", which was a voluntary surrender according to questioning. According to the new Xining law, the punishment should be commuted. In other words, according to the law, those two apprentices are sinful and do not deserve death.
This alone has 15 points, and the highest score in the topic is only 2 points.
Not to mention the thirty-cent discourse in Book C. You can call him a strategy theory, but Liang Shanbo does not pay attention to literary style, but pays more attention to substance. Lu Qian also sees him more as an essay. The title of the Judicial Subject Paper C is to ask the candidates to discuss the law that they think is unfair in their hearts.
As mentioned above, Zhao Song and the scholars share the world, and they can't help but annex land, and even tenants want to sue the master's family, if it is not true, the crime will be increased by one degree; And if it is true, the guilt of the main family is reduced by one degree. This kind of law really doesn't even have the most basic justice.
Just when Wang Sheng and others in the courtyard were seriously answering the questions, Lu Xu was also holding a test paper of the tax department and sketching.
He is the son of the Lu family, not the son of the Lu family of the Daimyo Mansion, and in the past, the Lu family was also a one-man financial manager, and he was proficient in calculations. was broken on Liangshanbo, of course Lu Xu was unwilling. As the steward of the Lu family, his income is good, he has a wife and children's house in the Daimyo's Mansion, he lives comfortably and lives freely, how can he be willing to 'fall into the grass'? It's just that my arms can't twist my thighs. Then Lu Junyi is taking revenge on the society, and Lu Xu can only go up the mountain.
After going up the mountain, most of the Lu family's financial management cadres were arranged in the degree branch and the transfer envoy, so naturally an exam was also organized. As a result, Lu Xu was the leader, and he voluntarily chose during menstruation, and Lu Xu finally entered the tax department. Now he is the head of the soon-to-be-established State Administration of Taxation in Dongping Province.
As a result, the anger in his stomach that arose from being "raised on Liangshan" dissipated cleanly.
Don't underestimate the heart of the Chinese people who want to be officials. In a purely official-oriented society, the allure of being an official is needless to say. Especially for people with low social status, such as Lu Xu, who seems to be rich and decent, but is actually a slave of the Lu family, the temptation is to rise in a straight line.
It is only because this official-oriented consciousness is a deep-rooted value orientation that exists in the minds of millions of people, that is, it is based on officials and power, and officials respect the people and are inferior, and officials are noble and the people are low. Officials are the first of all industries, and only when they embark on a career can they get ahead and glorify their ancestors; Only by being an official can you obtain privileges and benefits.
How many people regard being an official and being promoted as the highest value pursuit in life, and at the same time, they judge the value of life by the size of power.
The social status of officials and citizens is completely different, the officials are noble and the people are cheap, and the officials are heavy and the people are light; The official is the center, and the people are the periphery; The officials are above, and the people are below; The ruler is the master, and the people are the servants; In today's era, the power of officials can be extended and expanded indefinitely, while the rights of the people can only be compressed or even deprived.
It is natural and righteous to regard officials as noble, to respect officials, and to be proud of officials.
As a result, even if this official is a grass-headed official who is 'precarious', Lu Xu is overjoyed.
Now he has a sense of power, because he is one of the examiners of the tax examination papers. If he was an examiner of the imperial examination, such a leap in life, a huge surprise made Lu Xu's spirit completely invigorated. At this moment, hard work, dedication, and other emotions were piled up in Lu Xu's heart. He is a hundred loyalists to Liang Shanbo.
This surprised Lu Qian. Originally, he saw that the air column above Lu Xu's head still had a hint of red, and he knew that this generation was unwilling. Asking him to be a tax officer in Dongping Mansion is also a prevarication, in this case, can this tax officer have a bird?
But he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, his family would have another loyal fan.
A certain firm spent 10,000 yuan to buy a batch of goods, and priced it according to the profit of 20% and 5%, but only sold 30% of the quantity of goods. In order to turn back the funds as soon as possible, the shopkeeper decided to sell at a discount, and when the goods are sold out, the cost will be discounted. Q: How much discount does this firm sell at the original price?
There are many questions on the examination papers of the Taxation Division that Lu Xu has seen before, but there are also questions that he has never seen. For example, this last application problem, Lu Qian thinks that it is very simple, but he also knows that in today's society, if he can calculate this problem and be a tax official, he will already pass the calculation.
Just as Lu Xu was looking at the test questions and calculating, Lu Qian was also looking at the more than fifty people in front of him. They can be said to be the first batch of officials under Liangshanbo's command, and they are also the role models for Liangshanbo to show to the outside world. He really hopes that there will be a few talents in this wave.
At the same time, they are also Lu Qian's experimental seeds, and the huge Dongping Mansion is his experimental field. Although the army will not stay here for long, Lu Qian will work out the next framework here. And this framework is the 'government' of Liang Shanbo.
The prefects of the prefectures and counties here are all served by people from Liangshanbo, who originally had different identities, but now they are all 'officials' of Liangshanbo, and they are the seeds of surprise training from the "Governance Strategy".
Of course, Lu Qian will think about their place of origin, and the geographical avoidance criteria for being an official must be followed. Even the officials who are now thinking hard about it, in the future, there will be those outstanding people, who will also serve in other places after they become officials.
Since ancient times, China has had a system of "being an official in a different place". This minimizes the growth of corruption.
