Chapter 558: Don't worry about not being an official
Wang Ning'an dismissed hundreds of people in one go, and by the way, he gathered all the soap servants, most of whom were from ordinary people, who were forced to serve hard labor and work for the government in vain. Some www.biquge.info of them are even pariahs, advocating excellent soap subordinates, and their status is not even as noble as the women of the Qinglou.
Most of these people have been bullied, have a hard life, and have not been able to change their fate for generations. Of course, there are some of them who mix well, using the prestige of the government to oppress the people and be insatiable, and it is these villains that make the reputation of Soap Li very bad, and the people are extremely disgusted.
In general, Wang Ningan dismissed all the scribes, as well as the three shifts of errands, and all those with formal backgrounds were all gone, leaving only these temporary personnel.
"The official has ordered the recruitment of new officials to enrich the yamen. Among you, there are many people who have worked in the yamen for many years and are very experienced. This is an opportunity, if you are willing to go, you can follow them and get out, and three months of Lu rice will not be bad. If you are willing to stay, and are willing to help maintain the operation of the yamen, Ben Qin will play to the imperial court, vigorously commend you, abolish your soap status, and from now on, your children and grandchildren can also participate in the imperial examination, and you will be promoted and rewarded for your good work and merit...... Meritocracy, only ask about ability, not about origin. Think it through! ”
After Wang Ning'an finished explaining, he didn't care about these people, and returned directly to Qinchaxingyuan.
As soon as he returned, the Great Confucian King Fang arrived.
It turned out that Su Xun told Wang Fangyi about the matter, and the old man was so happy that his goatee trembled back and forth.
He went to the Six Arts School to see it, and the deepest impression was the practical class.
Students of the six arts, who can enter the Pingxian Yamen, can go to the city, can go to the field, and are exposed to the most practical things. Don't look at Su Shi and Lu Huiqing, these people are in the Toad Palace, and the scenery is infinite. In fact, in Pingxian and other places, many people do not envy them.
As an official in the imperial court, he is walking on thin ice and has too many restrictions.
For example, some students who are very talented in arithmetic enter business schools, and after graduation, they are either engaged in overseas trade or enter the banking system.
Now it is even more remarkable, many students of the Six Arts even own shares, and it is not uncommon for them to be worth hundreds of thousands.
……
In fact, things like changing the law are not just what you want, they must have a social foundation.
The failure of Wang Anshi's reform is a serious disconnection from society.
This time, however, it was different, represented by the industry and commerce of Pingxian County, a large group of new industrial and commercial groups, who urgently needed to reform the land, abolish private usury, and turn tenant farmers into free labor...... This powerful voice is the root cause of Wang Ningan's willingness to join forces with Wang Anshi to promote the Qingmiao Law!
If you don't have a foundation, you can change the law casually, and you're living impatiently.
Wang Fang witnessed the brilliance of the students of the Six Arts, of course he had the heart to follow suit, but he did not have Wang Ning'an's ability, and Meizhou did not have the conditions of Pingxian. When the old man mentioned it, he was very sorry.
But speaking of which, God is helping him, and the people of Yizhou Yamen actually made trouble collectively, so that Wang Ningan was dismissed, and hundreds of good positions were vacated at once!
Do you say that Wang Fang can not be excited!
It's just a wish come true, God help me!
On the way here, Wang Fang calculated, his Zhongyan Academy had more than 300 students, in the second year of Jiayou, 388 people passed the general examination, 389 people passed the palace examination, and one more Wang Shao was added.
Assigned to Sichuan and Shaanxi 4th Road, there are only twenty or thirty people, and Zhongyan Academy is the first to take the lead because it is the earliest official school, and it is allocated to 12 places.
It is quite famous in Shuzhong and has become a top academy that everyone envies.
But even so, one subject in four years, more than a dozen people in each subject, compared to the huge number of students, it is still a drop in the bucket, and it is a veritable army crossing a single-plank bridge! Compared with the college entrance examination in later generations, it is countless times more cruel......
It is precisely because of this that the academies around the country are unwilling to waste their energy and open some useless courses, in their eyes, only the Thirteen Classics used in the examination are required reading, and the rest are rubbish.
Wang Fang is also weak, who would have thought that when a big pie falls, can the old master be unhappy!
"Wang Xianggong, I don't know if there are any standards, so the old man should go back and tell the students immediately."
"Standard? The family is innocent, I don't want the Jiang Qing family, I don't want the top wealthy family, I have solid knowledge, good character, willing to endure hardships, and willing to learn, it's almost the same...... Those top students, those who can be admitted to the Jinshi, I don't compete with the old gentleman, the others who feel that the future is hopeless, and those who have failed the exam for many years, to work in the yamen, it is also a decent job, what does the old gentleman think? ”
"What Wang Xianggong said is reasonable, the old man will go!"
Wang Fang is definitely a good teacher, at such an age, for the sake of the student's future, he didn't stay for a moment, he rode a horse directly, ran for more than a day, and rushed from Yizhou to Qingshen.
When he arrived, it was already midnight, and Wang Fang, regardless of his fatigue, directly rang the bell of the academy and called the students up.
Everyone was still confused, Wang Fang asked his wife to make a basin of water, washed his face, and was shocked.
"The old man went to Lord Qincha and wanted to ask for an explanation. Lord Qincha is really extraordinary, and he tries his best to stabilize the value of Jiaozi currency, all for the sake of our Bashu folks. Someone in the yamen opposed the messenger and instigated the scribe to resign, so the lord ordered that the scribe should be re-recruited. ”
Wang Fang straightened his waist and said with a smile: "The old man thinks this is an opportunity, among you, there is no shortage of talents, but the imperial examination is difficult, and most people still have no fortune in the Toad Palace." For the sake of the imperial examination, he boiled his head white, boiled his hard work, was poor, depressed, and abounded, and the old man did not want everyone to repeat the mistakes of the past...... If you feel that you still want to take the exam, you can do it for a few years first, learn a little more skills, and understand some practices, so that it will be much more convenient for you to take the imperial examination. ”
"The drunkard Ouyang Xiu, the Confucian King Anshi, the two adults joined hands to abolish the Taixue system, and His Majesty advocated the use of talents. Just know how to endorse, just know how to make a fuss, and don't know how to do things, the court doesn't want it. ”
Wang Fang told everyone a lot, and among the students, some people were moved, but they didn't dare to agree rashly. Wang Fang smiled and asked them to think about it, hurry up and get an idea, don't miss the great opportunity.
After saying this, Wang Fang really couldn't support it, he ran around for days, coupled with old age and decrepitude, Wang Fang reluctantly returned to the bedroom, his wife cooked him a bowl of noodles, Wang Fang only ate half of it, and fell asleep.
The old gentleman felt that such a good thing had no reason to refuse.
But how did Wang Fang know that the students had already made a commotion!
There was a young student, who looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was very good-looking, but he was a little high-nosed and thin-mouthed, and he looked a little cloudy, and he was yelling at the students.
"The mountain chief is completely confused, Hu Lai, surnamed Wang, has belittled so many Shu people, and asked us to be an official for him, isn't that helping to abuse?"
The kid lifted his legs, stepped on the chair, and said angrily: "Tell you, whoever dares to sign up, I, Cheng Zhixun, will not be finished with him!" ”
Hey, it's someone from the Cheng family!
No wonder it's so domineering!
Everyone hesitated for a while, and suddenly someone spoke: "The surname is Cheng, your family is so rich and lives a fairy life, naturally you don't know our difficulties, why don't you go as an official?" Do you think you can all pass the Jinshi exam? ”
Someone picks the head, others also nod frequently, that's right, after all, it is rare to be admitted to the Jinshi, there are many people who have been studying in Zhongyan Academy for four or five years, spending a lot, since the year before last, first went to Yizhou Mansion to participate in the solution test, and then went to the capital to participate in the examination, back and forth, has spent all the family's savings, the result is also known as Luosun Mountain, continue to read, it is better to wait for four years, it is better to go to the Yamen to do things first, if you are lucky to get Wang Ning'an's appreciation, you can enter the Six Arts Academy, isn't there a greater chance of being in the exam?
These students are not stupid, everyone has an abacus.
Seeing that he couldn't suppress the scene, Cheng Zhixun smacked hard, "I can remind you that Wang Ningan is here to rob the heirs this time, and he is the enemy of all the Sichuanese, don't look at his aggressiveness, treat him as an accomplice, and sooner or later he will be liquidated!" Let me tell you, Wang Ning'an doesn't treat him often, he is gone, can you have a good end? ”
At this time, another person said: "What is the enemy of the Sichuan people, I think it is the enemy of you at all, don't bring all the big guys." ”
Cheng Zhixun's old face was red, he was angry, and he looked at it, he was also a young man, a little dark and thin, and he was wearing a boxy hat on his head, which was very interesting.
"It's you! Chen Jichang! ”
"That's right, it's me!"
This young man stood up, his name is Chen Yu, the word Ji Chang, the fourth in the family, their family is not as prominent as Cheng Zhixun, but more than ten years ago, his father Chen Xiliang was admitted to the Jinshi, and there are two nephews with his father, that is, Chen Yu's two cousins.
The three members of the Chen family ascended to the department, and it was rumored to be a beautiful talk, and when it came to Shuzhong, only the fame of the three Sus could overpower the Chen family. In contrast, Cheng Zhixun really can't compare with Chen Yu.
"Cheng Gongzi, the big guys are all classmates, but they are not your subordinates, who doesn't want to have a future, what are you holding back like this?"
Cheng Zhixun snorted, "I don't want them to jump into the fire pit!" ”
"If it's a fire pit, you have to skip it to find out!"
"Hmph, you are going to die, but don't blame me for not reminding you!" Cheng Zhixun took a sip and left with a snort.
The students looked at each other, some made up their minds and resolutely left, and some went home to ask, and the entire Zhongyan Academy moved.
Chen Yu sat sullenly for a while, packed his bags, and went straight to Yizhou, as soon as he came down the mountain, someone chased after him.
"Brother Ji Chang, wait for me."
As soon as Chen Yu turned around, the person who came was his classmate Lu Tao, and the two usually didn't have much friendship, but they didn't expect that he would also go to Yizhou.
"Brother Yuanjun, your knowledge is so good, why don't you stay and take the Jinshi exam?"
Lu Tao scratched his head embarrassedly, "Brother Ji Chang, the younger brother's family is poor, and he relies on his father's hard work, so I really can't bear to watch his old man suffer." Besides, didn't Wang Xianggong also fail to be admitted to the Jinshi! As long as you have the ability, you don't have to worry about no way out! Lu Tao looked confident.
