There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book.

For thousands of years, the Han people have only followed one way to get ahead, and that is to take the imperial examination. Since the Ming Dynasty, the idea of "civility, nobility and martial arts" has become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that the only way for the Han people to hope for a son to become a dragon has become a person in the examination. The children of rich families are better, but they really can't take the road of the imperial examination and have other means of making a living, while the children of poor families can only study and take the imperial examination if they want to get ahead, or they can only continue to be poor like their parents.

Behind every poor scholar there is an unspeakable blood and tears, frugal parents, and hard-working widowed mothers

The imperial examination gave Han scholars the opportunity to advance and change their fate. If the scholar does not enter the rank of advancement, the result is despair of the future, so as to create rebellion in the court (such as Huang Chao, Hong Xiuquan, etc.), or turn to a foreign race to plot ambitions in their hearts (such as Zhang Yuan, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan, etc.)

Before the Qing court entered the customs, there were a large number of traitor literati to plan for it, and in the year of entering the customs, Fan Wencheng went to Shu Dolgon to ask for the establishment of the Qing imperial examination, and set the imperial examination as the national policy of the Qing Dynasty, so as to win over the Han gentry and let them abandon the Ming Dynasty themselves, so as to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

Dolgon thought so, and gladly adopted, and in the third year of Shunzhi, he tried to raise people in Beijing, which quickly settled down northern China. A large number of scholars who were unwilling to be slaves of the country found that the Qing Dynasty was not only not an alien dynasty that did not attach importance to Confucianism, but gave them the opportunity to become officials like the Ming Dynasty. At that moment, they were thinking more about how to gain a foothold in the new regime, rather than thinking that I was a Han Chinese, but this court was a Hu person.

After that, every time the Qing army attacked a province in the south, even if it only occupied a few provinces, it would hold a imperial examination after the situation had settled down a little, and a large number of gentry would be tried to stabilize the local people's hearts and reduce the resistance of the gentry in the occupied areas. If it weren't for the sudden rise of the Taiping Army in Guangdong, I am afraid that the Guangdong Township Test would have been held at this moment, and what Hong Shiming, the son of Hong Chengchou, did when he went south to Guangdong.

It is foreseeable that under the premise that scholars only have one way to change their fate by becoming officials through the imperial examination, as soon as the Guangdong township of the Qing Dynasty is opened, a large number of Guangdong scholars who have lost their rank due to the war may be eager for the imperial examination of the Qing Dynasty. Even those who still have their old minds in their hearts are afraid to be shaken, after all, the Qing court has been in the customs for more than ten years and owns most of China, on the contrary, the Ming Dynasty is sunset, and it is still breathing. In contrast to the two, no matter how strong the scholar is, he cannot but consider his own future and the interests of his family.

"Governing the world is to win the hearts of the people, and the scholars are showing the people. The experience of the people is the experience of the people. ”

When asking Hong Shiming about the details of the Guangdong Township Test in the Qing Court, the other party said this. Zhou Shi was silent after hearing this, it is true that in order to quickly control the situation and deter the Han people from resisting when fighting the world, the Qing army only used butcher knives; When ruling the world, it is necessary to use the method of fighting for the hearts and minds of the people, otherwise no matter how sharp the butcher's knife is, in the face of the turbulent and successive "anti-Qing and Mingming" movements, the Qing court will always have a day when it will shoot itself in the foot.

The so-called popular will of the Han people has always been only the popular will of those gentry, and the poor people who have no power and no power have never been the representatives of the popular will, they are accustomed to the gentry speaking for them. Therefore, as long as you grasp the gentry, the elite class of the Han nationality, no matter who you are, you can win the hearts and minds of the people. And the foundation of the gentry is the scholar, the scholar with merit and fame.

Sun Kewang also opened the imperial examination after leading the army west into Yunnan, which also made the people of Yunnan feel at ease, and the scholars participated in the imperial examination of the Great Western Army one after another, without asking whether the Great Western Army was a thief and where was the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty.

A warrior is a mother if he has milk, and whoever gives me food and meat to eat, I will work for whom; The literati are whoever holds the imperial examination for me, so that I can have an official job, or I hope to be an official, I will be loyal to whomever I want.

Civil and military are not different paths, and reality is one!

Learn the art of literature and martial arts and sell it to the emperor's family. Since the buyer of the Ming Dynasty is not there, of course he must vote for the new buyer of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise how can he be worthy of his hard work in the cold window, and how can he be worthy of his parents, wives and children at home!

The same was true of Zhou Shixiang at the beginning, he didn't care about what the Ming and Qing dynasties didn't know, what Huayi didn't Huayi, whoever could let him participate in the imperial examination, who could change his status, who could make his life better, he would be an official.

If there had been no such change in Xinhui, Zhou Shixiang at this moment might be looking forward to the list at the gate of Guangdong Gongyuan, looking for one name after another, with the expectations of his parents, wives and children, with great hope, and with a vision for the future

"The Holy Dynasty specially tried to be virtuous, a team of people went down to Shouyang, arranged new finch hats at home, and wrote some old articles in the belly." It is the best portrayal of those Han scholars who participated in the Manchu imperial examination.

Even if he despised those officials who came up from the imperial examination, and despised their incompetence, Zhou Shixiang also decided to open the imperial examination, not because of his whim, but because he had planned as early as Xinhui, but at the beginning, the Taiping army was trapped in the lonely city and would fall at any time, and the opening of the imperial examination was naturally a fool's dream. At present, the Taiping Army actually owns the land of dozens of counties in three prefectures, and nominally has the highest administrative Yamen and political envoys in Guangdong, so of course the imperial examination can be held, which is not only an important means to compete with the Qing court for the hearts and minds of the people, but also a good prescription for the development of the Taiping Army!

It is now the 17th century, the time of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the prosperity of the imperial examination. This move is too advanced, a small step forward is development, but a big step is a pain. Even a few hundred years later, there are different college entrance examinations and civil service examinations, although the form has changed too much, but the essence is not the same as the imperial examination. Compared with the hereditary system of the secretary of state, which focuses on blood, the probation system that focuses on empty morality, and the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, which focuses on the family, the imperial examination system can provide the most cost-effective mechanism for ordinary people to participate in and discuss politics, and it is more fair, just and open.

In the previous life, the harm of the imperial examination was mostly aimed at the eight strands of imprisonment. In fact, if you want to be fair, you need to standardize; However, where there is standardization, formal rigor is inevitable. Judging from the performance of officialdom from the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the death of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination is by no means a real harm, nor is it because it imprisons the minds of scholars, but because the sage knowledge learned by scholars is really out of step with the times and cannot keep up with the development of the times.

What is said in the mouth is not believed in the heart, let alone what is done under the feet, and the feudal imperial examination is not a nerd, but a large number of calculating hypocrites.

Nerds have integrity!

Zhou Shixiang can't help but open the imperial examination, cutting off people's financial routes is like killing parents, and blocking people from being an official is not the same as killing parents.

Zhou Shixiang wanted to open the imperial examination, which was not just a means to win over Guangdong scholars, as Tang Taizong said, "All the heroes of the world are in our country". "Chao is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is the dream of Tianzitang" is the dream in the hearts of every scholar, Zhou Shixiang must not let himself and the Taiping Army become the enemy of the scholar's dream, so he must open the imperial examination. In the previous life, the late Qing Dynasty canceled the imperial examination, and as a result, in just a few years, "I Daqing" took the pill and fart, which is a profound lesson and very ironic.

Before cultivating a new military merit group and a new civilian-bureaucratic group, reforming or abolishing the imperial examination is a foolish move to destroy the foundation of oneself and to self-determine the scholars of the world and abandon the will of the people. The Taiping army had to get the allegiance of the scholars, so Zhou Shixiang had to open the imperial examination.

The opening of the imperial examination is a compromise of Zhou Shi relative to this era; Pragmatism is the innovation of Zhou Shi relative to this era. It is not realistic to completely abolish the old eight shares, after all, all the current readers are educated by the eight shares, and these people will definitely not be able to adapt to the new exam questions at once, and those children who have received the new eight and old two textbooks since the age of seven will grow up, and it will take too long, and Zhou Shi can not afford to wait, so he can only be modest.

Zhou Shixiang asked Song Xianggong to organize the Guangdong Township Examination at the end of August, and all the scholars who were admitted first went to the Guangdong University Hall for one year of study, and then they were given official posts according to their grades and practical ability.

Before going to Zhaoqing to meet with the Linghai general Chen Qice and the Zhenguo general Zhu Tong, Zhou Shixiang ordered the political envoy to issue an order in the form of a law, that is, to encourage the people under his rule to have more children, and to reward those who gave birth to daughters, this regulation was called the "Guangdong Colonization Order".

The decree clearly stipulates that couples must have more children, and the minimum requirement is to have three children, and those who have less than three children must bear 20% more land than other households. In other words, the more children there are, the more benefits the household enjoys, and not only does it not have to pay taxes to the government, but it can also receive material rewards from the government. In addition, the war dividends are also distributed on a per capita basis, and even babies who are only one day old can also enjoy the war dividends of the Taiping Army. In addition, it is strictly forbidden to drown baby girls, and offenders will be punished severely!

A series of slogans and slogans spread from the military marshal's mansion one by one, and a few months later, such absurd and ridiculous slogans as "if there is no family, the whole village will be in prison" appeared in some villages.

The subordinates are puzzled by the fact that Uncle Xingping is not busy with major things, but has been nesting in the house for a few days in a row to engage in colonization orders, writing some slogans that make people feel ridiculous, giving birth to children is a matter of husband and wife, how can outsiders handle this heart, it is someone's business to give birth to a few people, and the uncle is not too lenient.

In this regard, Zhou Shizhi explained to his subordinates that China has been the China of the Huang Han Dynasty since ancient times, and the Huang Han refers to the glorious Han people. The day when Manchuria led the troops of the Eight Banners into Shanhaiguan and Dingding Beijing was the great day of the death of our Huang Han race! Manchuria slaughtered our Huang Han people, causing our population to plummet, and population is the backbone of the Huang Han Dynasty, without population, how can our Huang Han family live in China, and how can they continue to prosper from generation to generation. Therefore, Benbo issued the Colonization Order, which is to ask our Huang and Han clans to have more children and breed more, so that they can have enough population strength to resist any foreign attack on our country, and to live firmly in China with sufficient population strength, so as not to worry about the day when the country will be destroyed and the species will be wiped out
