Chapter 173: Can Two Cultures Be Compatible?
With the development of time, the successive publication of a series of reference books such as "Arithmetic in Primary Schools", "Geometry in Primary Schools", "Physics in Primary Schools", "Chemistry in Primary Schools", "Geography in Primary Schools", "Biology in Primary Schools", "Logic in Primary Schools", "Politics in Primary Schools", "Economics in Primary Schools", "History in Primary Schools", and "Art in Primary Schools" have not caused much sensation, and it can only be said that they have attracted the attention of some well-intentioned people in the Great Song Dynasty.
They basically buy it out of curiosity, just like the published "Theory of the Wealth of the People" and "The Wealth of Nations", which are influential, but they do not see any changes...... If you want to use a few books to trigger a trend of thought in a society, that's basically a fantasy.
There is food and drink...... Who would think so much.
However, they are extremely useful tools on the island of Liuqiu, for the simple reason that some of the knowledge they have to be used in the recruitment of civil servants or other recruitment exams in the Confederate Empire.
In Wu Dapeng's opinion, this series of books is extremely simple and belongs to the reading materials of common sense primary school students, but in the eyes of people who like to learn new knowledge in the Great Song Dynasty, this set of books simply opens a new door!
For the first time, they learned about a certain kind of taxonomic knowledge in a systematic way...... For example, if you really understand the formation of fog and clouds, why there is rain, snow and hail, some curious people take the new snow and look at it with a magnifying glass, and sure enough, they see the so-called condensation nucleus in the bowl, which is some fine dust.
I see!
The earth is circular and divided into several continents and oceans...... Starting from Lin'an City Harbor to the west, you can really come back from the east!
The new world map published by the Federal Empire has really opened up the appearance of the whole world!
What else is there to hide?
We have set up suitable development cities in the world's major development areas, and we already have the ability to protect ourselves, if someone wants to go there, is it possible not to go to our city?!
Come on, no matter where you are, as long as you dare to come...... We dare to give you a chance to choose!
This is probably the purpose of the publication of the New World Map.
Wu Dapeng sighed: "When will the Great Song government be able to use them as teaching materials for the imperial examination, and when will they be taught in person in the Tai Academy, it will play a role at this time......
As it stands, this is an impossible task.
Although there were some high-ranking officials, such as the Lu military group, who sent their children to Liuqiu Island to study, they were not important figures in the family, and most of them were close relatives...... Not enough to catch up with the nobles of Goryeo and Japan, they did send important people from their own families.
It's not a happy situation, but there's no good way to do it.
The most important purpose of Wu Dapeng's painting of the bureaucratic system of the Great Song Dynasty government was to pay attention to those young officials who were unwilling, or the officials of the ancestral hall.
In the Song Dynasty, Jinshi was divided into three classes: the first class was called Jinshi and so on; The second class is called Jinshi origin; The third class is given to the same Jinshi background.
The number of places has also increased exponentially due to the expansion of admissions...... In the Tang Dynasty, no more than twenty or thirty people were admitted each time, and there were as few or as few as a dozen people.
During the Great Song Dynasty, as many as two or three hundred, or even five or six hundred, were admitted at a time...... Up to now, the number of scholars in the latest imperial examination has reached 1,000!
For those candidates who have repeatedly failed to take the exam, they are also allowed to sign up for the supplementary examination when they encounter the Great Song Dynasty's official family's strategic examination, and you will be given another chance, which is called the special performance.
You can also ask the officials of the Great Song Dynasty to be gracious, reward them with birth qualifications, and become appointed officials...... This is a very humane move, and it can be regarded as a consolation prize.
The Great Song Dynasty also established a three-level examination system once every three years, and formally established a three-level imperial examination system of state examinations, provincial examinations and palace examinations.
After the palace examination, there is no need to go through the examination of the Ministry of Officials, and the official is directly awarded.
After this, all the people who passed the rank became the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven...... After the Great Song Dynasty crossed to the south, it was necessary to hold the ceremony of the Great Song Dynasty officials announcing the ranking of the Dengke Jinshi, and gave a banquet in Qiongyuan, called the Qionglin Banquet, which has become a common practice until now.
But here's the problem, the idea of the Great Song Dynasty government to accept the world's talents is good, but where do they go to get so many positions for the nobles to fill?!
So I can only wait for the officer...... One or two years is fast, three or four years is normal, and the longest is six years of waiting!
There are also a large number of students who pass the examination every year and have to be appointed as government officials, and those students who study Confucian classics such as "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn" all day long...... But there is no work that does not reflect the ability of the great talents.
Previously, the Great Song Dynasty government attacked the Dali and Jiaozhi regions, which was a matter of national security, and there were also problems of redundancy of officials because of the problems of the thermal coal mine in Halong Bay.
They actively bought back to the north from the Tatar bandits, and there was also an element of this...... However, this can only solve part of the problem, and the institutional problems that have accumulated over the years cannot be solved overnight.
In order to give all the power to themselves, and to have direct control over the use of people's power, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty could promote those with lower ranks and talents to important positions at any time, and they could also remove the incompetent at any time.
Song Taizu had ordered Houyuan to build a cage, a few days did not succeed, Taizu angrily reprimanded, the ministers replied that this matter must go through Shangshu Province, the headquarters, the temple, the bureau and many other passes, and wait until the formalities are completed step by step, and get the emperor's approval of the word "Yi", and then it can be manufactured.
Song Taizu was furious when he heard this, and asked Prime Minister Zhao Pu and said: "When I was in the people, I could buy a lavender cage with dozens of dollars." This is the Son of Heaven, but not for a few days, why not? β
Zhao Pu replied: "This is a self-contained order, not for Your Majesty, but for Your Majesty's descendants, so that if future generations unreasonably create extravagant things, destroy money and goods, and send them to various places, they must have a Taiwan counseling, and this rule is also profound." β
After hearing this, Taizu turned his anger into joy and said, "This is wonderful! β
Thus...... The problem of redundancy of officials has emerged in the system, and it is a problem that can only be temporarily alleviated but not fundamentally solved.
Wu Dapeng set his eyes on those redundant people and those who were waiting for officials.
The Federal Empire is now starting to need this bunch of people with a certain cultural background...... Because it is far better to get them to Australia or South America to strengthen the cultural import, the effect is far better than ordinary people.
Think about it, Zong Xiong, a person who knows less than 800 words and has no cultural background at all, is it better to let him be the teacher of the Inca Emperor Passa, or is it better to let those redundant officials be the effect?
Without the import of culture, their development in South America could not be considered a complete success.
Of course, Wu Dapeng will also find a way to correct the influence of those people...... While they take the initiative to exert the influence of the Great Song Dynasty culture, they must also add the assistance of the federal imperial culture!
Song Ziqiang asked curiously, "What culture do we have here?" β
Wu Dapeng was mixed with officialdom in the end, and he came as soon as he opened his mouth: "Freedom, the rule of law, fairness, science and technology, hard work, wealth, civilization, integrity, kindness, and harmony...... How much more do you want? β
Song Ziqiang was in a trance after hearing this, and said, "...... How can you still remember it? β
"You don't have to hang banners everywhere to make people remember, because that's what we do, and we know it!"
ββ¦β¦ Is this compatible with the Great Song Dynasty culture? β
"Absolutely, you believe me, from their ancient books and classics, no matter what values can be found to prove it, the rest, it depends on our operation."
