Chapter 1845: The Golden Age of the Scholars
Shaw House.
"Uncles and uncles, you must hate the younger generation in your heart, the younger generation is really sorry, and now I came to visit your uncles and uncles."
When Han Yi came to Xiao Ju's house, he was full of guilt and said.
Xiao Ju waved his hand and said, "You don't have to blame yourself, we understand, we understand." ”
But there was a hint of awkwardness in the tone.
If you want to say that it's not weird, it's impossible, because after Han Yi returned to Chang'an, he had almost no contact with the Xiao family, which really shouldn't be, Xiao Rui is not there, you don't take us elders seriously, but in view of Han Yi's identity at this time, he really can't say anything.
Of course, Han Yi also understood in his heart, and said: "This matter must be the junior's, but the juniors don't want to, because this crisis has shaken the country, and I must be ruthless, so that I can save everything." If I had come here before, then I would have to take care of the Xiao family, so I might fall into the hands of others, I must abandon all my selfish thoughts and go all out, so as to help the country through this difficulty, but uncles and uncles, please rest assured, in fact, I have been paying attention to the situation of the Xiao family. ”
Xiao Jun smiled and said: "It's all a family, say this, sit and sit." ”
Xiao Ju also said: "The sixth brother is right, sit." ”
Several people sat down.
Xiao Ju said: "Actually, I have wanted to invite you over for a long time, but I am afraid of delaying your business, after all, the news about the new law is spread all over the world, and it involves the Juntian system, which makes us feel a little uneasy!" ”
Han Yi said with a smile: "The juniors are here for this matter today. Although it is not yet completely certain, it is very likely that the equalization system will be abolished, because the imperial court does not have much land to grant to the people, and the northwest is large, but the people of the Central Plains may not be willing to go there. In addition, only a very small number of the officials who have been laid off can return to the DPRK, and I know that in this layoff, a total of 15 people from the Lanling Xiao clan have been laid off. If my uncles ask me if I have to let them go back, they think it would be better if they didn't go back. ”
Xiao Yan hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Han Yi said: "If the new law is promulgated, then our Lanling Xiao clan will usher in the most golden age." ”
Xiao Jun was overjoyed when he heard this, and then wondered: "But according to those news, this new law is not conducive to us scholars. ”
If you are taxing, layoff, reforming the imperial examination, and reforming the shadow seal, none of them is beneficial to the scholars.
Han Yi said with a smile: "The reason why the Lanling Xiao family is famous all over the world is not only because the Lanling Xiao family has always been in the center of power, but also because the Lanling Xiao family has a beautiful style and high cultural literacy. ”
These words sounded comfortable, and Xiao Ju and they stroked their beards and smiled.
Xiao Jun asked, "But what does this have to do with the new law?" ”
Han Yi said: "In the past, our Lanling Xiao clan piled up all the talents in the court, but there are actually only a few people who can really take power in the court, that is, many people are idle in the court, because there are too many people, they can't show their talents, but often cause family infighting." In the future, the imperial court will pay attention to the development of all walks of life, which will lead to top talents from all walks of life having a certain influence in society. Although this reduced the number of Lanling Xiao clans in the court, it was able to explode the entire foundation of the Lanling Xiao clan.
We can concentrate our efforts and help a few rising stars in the family who are talented and suitable for being officials to recommend to the imperial court. But if other people are good, they can let them follow their own preferences and develop in all walks of life, if they are all very successful in their own fields, then the Lanling Xiao family will definitely go to the next level than now. Moreover, in the past, it was the squire who had prestige among the people, but as the imperial court attached importance to the development of industry and commerce, the city would become denser and stronger, and if you wanted to gain fame in the city, you had to show real skills, and your background was not very effective. And our Lanling Xiao clan has such a deep heritage, I can't think of any reason for not succeeding. Therefore, we must prepare in advance, get involved in all walks of life, and develop in an all-round way. Because the country is also ready for all-round development, that's why I think that our Lanling Xiao clan will usher in a golden age. ”
This is true, the aristocracy that has not sunk now does have a unique advantage, because behind the foundation, education has not been popularized, business development must be faster than education, all walks of life need talents, they will indeed usher in a golden age.
But Xiao Ju's thoughts are still proud of being officials, and when they listen to it, they are all silent, and some can't turn around.
Han Yi said with a smile: "Uncles, why our Lanling Xiao clan has always been admired by the world is because we stick to our own foothold, and at the same time continue to change with the general environment, we were originally in Shandong, then moved to Jiangnan, and now Guanzhong, this is a change." And this opportunity will be fleeting, if you miss it, there will be no more, and it can even be said that the ranking of the world's great warriors will be decided in the next few years. ”
Xiao Ju said: "Then I don't know which industries are suitable for our Xiao family?" ”
"Teachers, accountants, and newspaper editors-in-chief are actually suitable for many industries, and talents in these industries will have such a pivotal position in the future society." Han Yi said: "It just so happens that Datang Daily is preparing to recruit people recently, specializing in writing articles, and it is about current affairs and people's livelihood, with the growth of Datang Daily, the news of current affairs and people's livelihood will be very eye-catching, the way of publishing articles in the past is outdated, and public opinion in the future is the world of newspapers." ”
Xiao Jun said: "That's okay, now we are all looking forward to this Datang Daily every day!" Moreover, this teacher is also very suitable for our Xiao family. ”
Xiao Jun nodded and said: "The old man also thinks that Han Yi is right, and the imperial court wants to reform the imperial examination system and weaken the shadow seal, our Xiao family should indeed develop in an all-round way now, but it can't be the same as before." ”
Xiao Jun said with a smile: "Han Yi, this needs your help, in this world, it's not just our Lanling Xiao family, then King Cui Lu Zheng is better than our Lanling Xiao family in terms of heritage." ”
Cui Lu Zheng Wang is a super first-class family, a unique old-school family, the Lanling Xiao family is first-class, and the background is still not as deep as theirs.
But they have Han Yee.
Han Yi said with a smile: "Uncle Liu's words are serious, how can the family say this." ”
As soon as the imperial examination system was reformed, the entire history of China had to turn a corner, and the development and growth of the imperial examination in recent years led to the study of the knowledge of the imperial examination, which was tantamount to narrowing their own path. In the past, the scholars did not need exams and could be officials, but at that time, the scholars were more free, they could pursue what they liked, dabble in everything, and develop various ideas.
Han Yi had lunch at Xiao's house, then said goodbye, he still had to go to Yangzhou to meet Mrs. Yang, he came back this time, just to contact the Yuan family.
"Woo ......!"
Halfway through, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?"
Before Han Yi's words fell, he saw a person rushing into the carriage, which scared Han Yi a lot, he had done so many bad things, could he not be afraid?
When he saw the person clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "It turned out to be General Gao, I still thought it was who." ”
The person who came was Gao Kan.
Only him, the forbidden army protecting Han Yi would not dare to stop him, if others could get close.
Gao Kan said: "You are really hard to find, I have been looking for you for most of the day." ”
Han Yi was curious: "What is General Gao looking for me to do?" ”
Gao Kan smiled and said, "My eldest son has been laid off by you, if I don't come to you, my father won't be able to take it." ”
Han Yi said angrily: "What else should I do, just this little thing, are you like this, what do we have to do with it, just say it, which department does he want to go to?" ”
Gao Kan was surprised: "When did you become so good at talking?" ”
What are you kidding, Lao Tzu has always seen people and talked about people, and he has never changed. Han Yi sighed and said: "General Gao, what is our relationship, we have been on the battlefield together, and we are close to going to the Qinglou together, but unfortunately I am already past that age." You just say, what department. Is it Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, or Menxia Province. But in my heart I said, If you are embarrassed to say it, then you can say it.
Gao Kan is not Cheng Chuliang, if Cheng Chuliang is Cheng, Han Yi will never say this, Gao Kan still loves face very much, Li Ji and these commanders have laid off their children and grandchildren, his three sons, two of them are in the Military Academy, they are all on missions outside, just this one is an official in the court, he has to say it, he is really embarrassed, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, it's difficult for you to do it now." I'm looking for you today mainly in the hope that you can help my son make a living, and you can't sit at home every day. ”
"That's even easier to say."
Han Yi said: "I don't know which official office Ling Gongzi was in before?" ”
It seems that my son really didn't cut it. Gao Kan said: "I used to be in the Criminal Department. ”
"The Criminal Department?"
Han Yi groaned slightly, and then smiled: "I dare to promise you now, your Gao family's most promising future will be Ling Gongzi." ”
Gao Kan said excitedly: "Where do you start with this? ”
Han Yi smiled: "You know about stamp duty. The key to stamp duty is the contract, and if the contract becomes very important in the future, the number of contracts will increase dramatically, and there will be a lot of disputes about the contract. ”
Gao Kan was puzzled when he heard this: "What does this have to do with my son's future?" ”
"It's a big deal!"
Han Yi said with a smile: "In other words, the law will become very cumbersome in the future, not to mention the people, even those rich businessmen, big landlords, and a few people will study the law, they don't have this talent." And when there is a dispute between them, they will definitely not be convinced, and they will definitely go to the government in the end, but the litigation thing, this is very skillful, and professionals are needed to help them, Ling Gongzi is from the Criminal Department, and there must be a study of the law, Ling Gongzi can find a few people and open an agency that is specifically responsible for going to the government to fight lawsuits for the people, so that it can also prevent officials from bullying the people, if Ling Gongzi is interested, I can fund this. ”
Gao Kan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he deserved to be the head of the profiteer, this clever plan came out as soon as he opened his mouth, but he smiled and said: "You are so rich, you still care about this." ”
"Who would be afraid of a lot of money."
"Haha......!"
