Chapter 227: Mahjong Table
Recently, the imperial court recruited doctors of Confucianism and sent them to serve in the county of Jianzhou in southern Xinjiang to educate the barbarians, which caused a stir in the society, and some people responded in favor of it loudly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
More often than not, they talk about their reluctance to answer the call in wine shops and newspapers. The reason is also very sufficient, the barbarians do not understand Chinese etiquette and kinghood, and they don't know what loyalty and patriotism are. Nuo is to teach Confucianism and scriptures, open up its wisdom, for the country, it is a matter of benefit or harm.
For the scholars who read poetry and books, it is the ideal goal of life to gain fame and govern one side. To go to the land of barbarians who are rampant with miasma and do not understand etiquette to carry out indoctrination is to take their own future and life seriously, and whoever wants to go will go.
As the initiator of this matter, Li Yu was in a good mood at this time and the four daughters of Xin'er were rubbing mahjong in the warm pavilion, and the blooming winter plums outside the window gave this ice and snow world a vibrant red beauty.
Xin'er touched a card, the smart phoenix eye swept the twelve cards in front of her, and quickly took out a 20,000 card, Ling'er was overjoyed and hurriedly touched it.
Mei'er's luck was really bad, she lost as soon as she got on the table, and she watched Li Yu and the four of them rubbing mahjong enthusiastically with a depressed face, waiting for whoever lost in the next game to be on top.
On the small square table, the sound of touching cards and playing cards came and went, and the chatting and joking between the five people were endless. Li Yu was stunned for a while, as if he had returned to his previous life, and during the New Year, the family gathered around happily rubbing mahjong, talking to each other about what they liked to see in the past year.
"Jun Xun, now those scholars outside are talking about the imperial court's recruitment of Confucian scholars to serve in the county of Barbarian Prefecture in southern Xinjiang, but the discussion has begun. In January, there were only 100 people who responded to the imperial court's call, and as the person who made the plan for this matter, I don't know how Jun Xun felt? Xin'er asked Li Yu with a smile while rubbing mahjong.
"It's none of my business, hang it high. Jun Xun, is what the slave family said right? ”
Xing'er looked like I knew you, so Li Yugang held back what she wanted to say, and muttered in her heart: I really mean this in my heart.
"Hey." Li Yu typed out an eight-strip and pretended to sigh: "Most people in the world yearn for prosperous and rich places, and they don't want to go to that remote and wild place and live a hard life. Isn't it true that scholars study just to gain an official body, a life of wealth, and a glorious lintel? If this is in response to the call of the imperial court and to take up the post of subordinate officials of the barbarians in southern Xinjiang, the official body is there, but it is not high, but where is the wealth? Maybe he will put his life on the miasma in the deep mountains and jungles of southern Xinjiang, how can this make a group of aspiring scholars agree? ”
"Everyone wants to go to a prosperous and wealthy place to take up an official position, how is this possible, there are so many states and counties in the world that can be called prosperous places, how can there be so many positions to arrange them."
Ling'er pouted, without going through the imperial examination, as long as he reads the Confucian classics and passes the character, he can be awarded an official. Those scholars were still picky, and Ling'er was very disdainful of this, and even added a point to the strength of the cards.
"According to the slave family, those scholars who don't respond are not only picky as Ling'er said, but the timidity in their bones."
"Apricot, what do you mean?"
Xing'er threw off the useless whiteboard, looked at Ling'er's cute stupidity, her heart moved, how could she not tease? His fingers slid lightly over Ling'er's smooth little hand, and he touched Hua Run's skin in Ling'er's strange voice, and said with a smile: "Didn't Jun Xun say that the land of southern Xinjiang is full of miasma, and it is inhabited by some barbarians who do not understand the etiquette of the Central Plains and are fierce by nature, and the imperial court cannot directly control these counties in the land of barbarians. Not to mention the fear of the people of the Central Plains for the miasma in southern Xinjiang, the most important function of the official positions appointed by the imperial court is to educate the barbarians. But the customs of the barbarians for thousands of years can easily change customs? These scholars and literati will definitely think, if I go to educate those barbarians, if I don't anger the barbarians who don't understand the king, they will kill them, and then find a reason to prevaricate the court, and there will be no reason to reason if I die. Then why are you still taking risks for the sake of a first-order petty official? Staying in Handi, even if it is an official position in a remote and poor small county, in their eyes, it is definitely better than going to a barbarian county. Even if you don't get an official position, you can live in peace when you go home! ”
Xin'er playfully pinched Li Yu, her big eyes were particularly charming, and she asked with some doubts: "Jun Xun, some can't be explained, why did you send people to spread the news that there were a large number of official vacancies in Anton last year, but in a month or two, many scholars and literati went to Pyongyang to seek officials. Now the conditions given by the imperial court are more generous than those of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, but not many people respond? Southern Xinjiang and Anton are also wild, and there is no reason to be so far apart. ”
"Andong is different from southern Xinjiang, Andong is just a longer winter than the Central Plains, and it is a place that our Chinese ancestors pioneered earlier. Although it has been trapped in Goguryeo for hundreds of years, it is not much different from the Central Plains in terms of natural environment and folk customs. The rebellion of the remnants of Goguryeo was suppressed, and it was under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, so there was no danger at all. Southern Xinjiang is different, the official positions appointed by the imperial court are all barbarian bureaucrats who are difficult to find even Han people, and the natural environment is harsh, and the barbarians drink blood, and they have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Central Plains. Even in the non-confined counties in the Lingnan area, the scholars who passed the imperial examination were reluctant to take up their posts, and most of the officials who went were excluded from the court, or had no backstage, or were demoted for breaking the law. ”
"In this way, isn't it useless for you to put forward the second strategy of the barbarian prefectures and counties in Annan Xinjiang?"
"It's not useless, if you want to implement it, you need to be firm in your determination and take corresponding supporting measures to appease the worries of the scholars sent to southern Xinjiang."
"What is the countermeasure in Jun Xun's heart?"
Li Yu gently pinched Xin'er's little Qiong's nose and smiled lightly: "First, the imperial court needs to station a certain number of deterrent troops in the governor's mansion under the jurisdiction of each prefecture and county, so that the barbarians will not dare to lightly harm the imperial court officials sent to the local area to carry out indoctrination. Second, it is necessary to provide channels for the chiefs of the barbarian states and counties to complain to the imperial court, so as to prevent the officials stationed there from lacking moral character and relying on the support of the imperial court to bully the barbarian bureaucrats, resulting in the deterioration of relations between the two sides. Because the barbarians had no chance of appealing, they were prompted to take the risk and kill the officials and rebel. 3. The imperial court needs to give the officials stationed in the county a better channel for promotion, and use the people of the barbarian bureaucrats in the county they have educated to change their customs and customs, similar to the achievements of the Central Plains. The better the effect of education, the higher the promotion, and the higher the salary of officials, they will be given higher treatment than those of the Central Plains level. ”
Xin'er pestled her head, admired her talent very much, and asked with a smile: "Since you have a solution in your heart, your Majesty must praise your Majesty." ”
"Yes, yes!" Ling'er shouted happily, "Jun Xun has made another great contribution to the imperial court, maybe this time His Majesty will increase the actual seal for Jun Xun." ”
Li Yu smiled, the actual seals all have the rules and regulations of the imperial court, and as a prince, they are all at the top now. What's more, how can I still expect that bit of real sealing, compared with my own huge business every year, it is a hair!
"Jun Xun, how about this recital be drafted by the slave family?"
Mei'er, who had been watching Li Yu and the four of them chatting while rubbing mahjong, recommended herself with great interest.
Looking at Mei'er's hopeful eyes, Chu Chu's moving appearance, Li Yu, who was seduced by beauty, agreed to her request unconditionally without even thinking about it. The four girls with a wry smile all helped them draft the recital, and they couldn't write the recital for a long time.
Xing'er, who was rubbing mahjong's hand, paused, pursed her lips, and scolded: The slave family doesn't seem to have drafted a book for you!
