Chapter 157: Prefectural Examination - Examination of Teachers
The news that Yang Lin was sworn in as a political and deputy general in northern Sichuan spread rapidly, and with the news of his promotion, this was a series of reform regulations of the government yamen.
Faced with increasing criticism of the New Deal, Yang Lin began to systematically take steps to defend himself.
Ouyang is directly appointed as the general office, and the public newspaper in the jurisdiction - "Dazhong Bao" is publicly distributed, and "Dazhong Bao" is issued twice every ten years, through the post station, and through the yamen, the township office is posted free of charge in various conspicuous places.
With the help of the "Popular Daily", all kinds of rumors were openly spread.
In response to the accusation of violating the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty and the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he completely borrowed from the practice of Deng Gong, who called the primary stage of socialism and socialism with Chinese characteristics, while Yang Lin was always regarded as an extraordinary move when the world was in turmoil.
(Zhu Ming Dynasty's) is not that they do not abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it is not that they do not follow the records of Taizu (Hong Wuye Zhu Yuanzhang), but because the world is in turmoil now, and now we should take extraordinary measures to achieve the goal of saving the world and trying to survive.
It is an extraordinary move to establish a township office to be responsible for maintaining local law and order and collecting commercial taxes.
The establishment of a parliament, the election of legislators, and the supervision of general affairs are also extraordinary moves.
At the same time as the propaganda war began, the county yamen was now being reorganized according to the administrative mode of operation.
Establish a power governance model corresponding to the three classes and six rooms of the imperial court in the prefecture and prefecture (county) yamen, and strengthen local governance and management.
Like the Public Security Bureau and the Criminal Investigation Brigade in the previous life, the Zhuang fast class is mainly responsible for local public security, and is responsible for the identification and management of the population.
The soap shift is like a modern office, responsible for the maintenance of order and daily operation of the yamen.
The officer's office is like a personnel bureau, which is mainly responsible for the recruitment and evaluation of officials.
Households are like civil affairs bureaus, main field registration, and civil affairs.
Like the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Economic Bureau, the workshop is mainly responsible for industrial and commercial registration and local engineering construction.
The ceremonial room is like the Propaganda Bureau and the Education Bureau, which is mainly responsible for the management of monks, sacrifices, propaganda, and public school education.
The barracks are like the armed forces department in the previous life, responsible for recruiting soldiers and horses, training strong men, and protecting the security and maintenance of the county
The torture chamber is like a court in the previous life, responsible for the trial and judgment of cases.
The Finance and Treasury is integrated into a modern finance bureau, which is responsible for coordinating the local financial accounts, supervising the collection of local taxes in townships and towns, and supervising the implementation of local budgets.
Like the transportation bureau in the previous life, Yicheng is responsible for the contracting management of the government post station and the renovation of local roads.
………
It is rumored in the society that on the day of the oath-taking, the political staff personally decided on the principle of appointing local officials in the future, that is, most of the local governors and counties were transferred from the assistant offices in the army, or they were promoted by outstanding security chiefs and house owners.
The head of the barracks, the head of the strong class, and the implementation of two-tier leadership.
In the future, the tolerance of the grass-roots level, especially the personnel of the fast and strong classes who do not need much education, will mainly come from retired military disabled people and meritorious people who have made meritorious contributions to war, rather than being selected by the local government as in the past.
……
There was a lot of discussion, some people felt that the situation had changed drastically, and some were preparing to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.
But a piece of news quickly spread all over the streets, and everyone didn't have time to criticize the new deal after hearing the news, but pondered that they would not be in the mountains in the next imperial examination.
It turned out that on the same day, notices were posted at the entrances of each bazaar, and the county test was conducted within 10 days and the government test within 20 days.
Different from the past, in the past, the county examination and the prefectural examination were only the most basic imperial examinations, and those who passed the county examination, the prefectural examination, and the hospital examination (provincial examination) were the only talents and fame.
And this time, as long as you successfully pass the county examination and the government examination, you can be selected as a public school teacher together with those talents, and you can have an annual income of nearly 20 taels of silver (four quintals of rice, more than 10 taels of silver).
If you really don't get the last grade in the exam, you can also enter the government hall to study, and become a local official after three or two months.
The Confucian Scholar Zhou Jin opened the museum to teach, and the annual museum fee was only twelve taels of silver, and this public school was obviously much more advantageous than ordinary private school teachers.
Although the scholars of the Ming Dynasty liked to talk about Qing on the surface, because the imperial examination cost a lot (the county examination was done locally, the cost was not large, and the township examination (provincial city) would have already exceeded the annual income of ordinary people), and there were many poor scholars in the local area, everyone valued money very seriously.
Now I heard that the county government examination mainly selects public school teachers, and everyone rushed to tell each other, and they moved their minds one by one.
A few scholars in cotton robes sat inside the teahouse, not reaching out from their pockets to pick up the teacups and take a sip to dispel the cold air outside.
A scholar in his forties shook his head and said: "Ten years ago, I had a fame in the show, and I thought that I would be able to achieve good news in the future, but who would have expected that I would not be ranked many times, and now I am leaving home to become a teacher in this private school."
There are more than 20 students in the hall, and their level is uneven, some have just started to read the three-character scripture and the thousand-character scripture, and some have finished reading the four books and five classics, but these children are quite naughty, and they worry a lot all day long.
Now that the government has posted a notice, I don't know what this public school looks like? ”
Another rich man in a leather jacket next to him shook his head and said, "Although Yang Lin was born in a school lineage, he is treacherous and hypocritical, doesn't Mr. Zhou know it?"
Yang Lin kept saying that he was exempted from the three salaries, but there was a condition, that is, the land was re-cleared, you don't know, after the re-clearance, the money and grain collected were more than the three salaries sent by the imperial court in the past.
Yang Lin skillfully set up a project to collect what business endowments, customs endowments, salt endowments, mineral endowments, etc., and punished and fined them if they delayed a little, which made people angry. ”
Wang Gongzi is a large family within a radius of dozens of miles, relying on power in the past not to pay taxes, after the re-clearing of the land area increased dramatically, he needed to pay more than 100 quintals of grain every year, and was punished at the beginning of this year for underpaying money and grain.
After that, the Wang family resolutely opposed the new policy, and Wang Gongzi even invited three or five friends to gather together to criticize the current politics, claiming that this practice completely subverted the co-governance structure of the official gentry.
Zhou Jin set up a private school in the Wang family, and everyone had to echo each other, so as not to break up unhappily.
Now that they heard the news of the county test and the government test, Zhou Jin, who was born in Xiucai, couldn't sit still, and despite the opposition of Wang Gongzi, everyone decided to go out to try their luck.
Because of his fame, he didn't need to take the county test, so Zhou Jin rushed to Shunqing Mansion on the day of the release of the government test.
Just after noon, Zhou Jin felt that Yushan Academy had not yet reached the corner of the street, and there was an endless stream of people on the road.
Zhou Jin felt strange when he met so many people for the first time, and hurriedly stopped and asked the passer-by: "Brother Tai, this, these are all readers who go to see the list?"
This year is different from previous years, why are there so many people? ”
A middle-aged scholar with a burnt face and a thin figure next to him smiled and said, "Yes, today is really a Shilin event."
You don't know that when the exam started ten days ago, there were really many people, and this year's county examination passed the children, and in previous years, the county examination passed the children crowded the whole street.
Because there are so many people, the adults let the barracks be vacated, so that everyone can take the exam.
Different from those rogue officials, the adults are born and raised in the villagers, and everyone is in the same vein, and the adults really take good care of us poor scholars. ”
Or too nervous, Zhou Jin wiped the beads of sweat on his face and asked, "It turns out that there are so many people, so how many are you going to admit?" ”
Passers-by smiled: "Like the government test in previous years, one out of ten, I heard that there are 1,000 people participating this time, and this time there will probably be more than 100 people." ”
More than a hundred? Zhou Jin's head was booming, there were a hundred people in the palace test alone, and if you add those famous talents, there would be even more of them.
Seeing that there was a row of tables on each side of the academy, and he didn't care about looking at the release list, Zhou Jin squeezed in, looked at the literary list next to him, arched his hand and asked eagerly: "Old man, is it here to sign up to become a public school gentleman?" ”
The other party asked very simply, first check the identity, ask if you have any experience in private school, ask if you know how to do arithmetic, and whether you can abacus.
Zhou Jin took a deep breath, handed over the papers, and then answered them one by one.
The other party obviously didn't have anything to pick, and after a brief inquiry, he sat down to talk about a table, and used half a pillar of incense before and after, and was finally introduced to the main hall of the academy, and after some screening by Qian Bangqi and others, the final shortlist was finally determined.
Walking out of the academy, Zhou Jin breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the other party who was a little happy, and the official next to him repeatedly told him that he would need to rush to Wanjuan Building early tomorrow morning to report, and if he wanted to become a formal public school teacher, he would need up to three months of training.
Zhou Jin didn't think so in his heart, just like many scholars in his previous life, how many of those who had won the show since ancient times were not the top students of that era?
Although it is just a showman, everyone is a local figure, there are only a few dozen showmen in a small county, and there are only more than a hundred people in a large county.
Look at the road to fame for these ancient scholars, it is completely a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, and less than 20 people are admitted to the county examination each time, and the admission rate is only a few percent.
There are only thirty or fifty students in each government examination, and the admission rate is less than 10%.
The provincial school is presiding over the college examination, and the admission rate is even lower, less than 5%, as long as you pass the college examination and show your talents, you will have a fame, and you can see the official without kneeling.
Many people are poor, and they are only a white body after the age of sixties.
Zhou Jin is twenty-four years old, and he has also set up a museum to teach in recent years, can ordinary teaching stump him?
I found an inn to live in, rushed to Wanjuan Building early the next morning, re-registered to stay, and in the afternoon all gathered to speak.
According to everyone's different volunteers, they are divided into different formations, and the largest number of teachers are public school teachers, with more than 100 people, and only 30 or 50 people choose to join the army or choose to become government officials.
Even if life is difficult, these noble scholars do not want to choose to become lowly tolerances, or become generals in the army.
Yang Lin had a try-out mentality, hoping that more people would choose to become tolerance and become lieutenant generals, but it took half an hour to convince the two, which was really a bit unsatisfactory.
Zhou Jin was successfully shortlisted as a teacher in a public school, and the main work in the next three months is to learn basic arithmetic knowledge (the Chinese people's arithmetic level is relatively poor), and discuss and determine the primary teaching materials.
It was on this day that Zhou Jin slowly understood the purpose of primary education, that is, after five years of study, students will be able to read and hyphenate words, and be able to simply calculate and deal with some geometric problems.
Instead of the timidity of the Thousand Character Classics, Four Books and Five Classics like in the past.
