Chapter 279: Naming
Of course, on the basis of referring to Emperor Wen of Sui, Fang Shao added a few disciplines such as "proficient in miraculous skills" and "good at arithmetic", his purpose was, of course, to give those outstanding craftsmen who are good at manufacturing machinery and equipment, as well as those who are proficient in mathematics and astronomical calculations. To enhance the status of "science and engineering" talents, naturally only people with far-reaching purposes like Fang Shao can realize their important surname.
Obviously, the method of scientific research opened a passage to the upper echelons for the Hanmen Shu clan and gave them hope to change their fate.
A society will inevitably not be able to eliminate the class gap between the poor and the weak, the noble and the low, but the bloodstained history proves that there can be a class gap in a society, but there must be a channel through which the upper and lower classes can penetrate each other, that is to say, the lower classes must be given the opportunity to get ahead, which will help slow down the degradation and decay of the upper class under the "inbreeding" and continuously inject fresh vitality into the ruling class of the whole country, so that it can maintain its vigorous vitality.
Throughout history, how many apocalyptic dynasties have been stagnant, rigid and cold, with the upper class completely monopolizing all power, wantonly squandering the remaining vitality of the country without competition. And the people at the bottom have no chance to enter, they can only silently endure the oppression and bullying of the upper class, such a dynasty that has no hope for most people, when the people's dissatisfaction is backlogged to a certain extent, it will erupt into an unstoppable destructive force like changing the dynasty.
Fang Shao knew very well that in the history of that year, the Jin Dynasty of the Sima family ruled the world with the support of the scholars, and the dynasty he created was completely a dynasty controlled by the scholars and served the scholars. When the world was peaceful, the royal family and the scholars who thought they were at ease would eventually squander their pleasures, or die drunk and dreamed of death in the struggle for power and profit, and it was after the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" started by the scholars that Chinese civilization ushered in the first and darkest era in history.
It is precisely because Fang Shao is well aware of the scourge of the scholar clan's dominance that he proposed the "Imperial Examination System" to open the passage to the upper position for the Han clan and create an opponent for the scholars to balance it.
Of course, Fang Shao didn't know that in the current environment, the scholars have formed a decisive force that can influence the situation in the world, and Liu Bei wants to seize the world, so he naturally has to rely on the support of the scholars.
Fang Shao can think of this, and Yang Jian, the first emperor of the ages, naturally wants to get it, so the imperial examination system created by Emperor Wen of Sui is actually divided into two items: scientific examination and inspection, the scientific examination is to record officials in the form of examinations, which is relatively fair for scholars, and the inspection is based on the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System", so that the local county guards recommend talents to the imperial court, and the talents raised should consider their family background, character and talent.
"Shao's set of "Imperial Examination System" can not only recruit the talents of the poor people, but also protect the interests of the scholars, and can also make the two types of people restrain each other, so that the world's elites are all in the king's bag, which is enough to compete with Cao Ying's "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System".
Fang Shao explained the whole process of the imperial examination in detail, and Liu Bei was excited, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but jump up, and shouted excitedly: "Zhongzheng, your imperial examination system is very mysterious in employing people, well, not bad, Gu Zheng can come here to confront Cao Ying." However, this matter is not a trivial matter, and it must be discussed carefully with the ministers. ”
Therefore, not long after Cao Ying promulgated the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System", Liu Bei began to intensively study the "Imperial Examination System" proposed by Fang Shao, after all, this system is very important, so Liu Bei summoned Zhuge Liang and other ministers in Hanzhong for several months, and exchanged views with Pang Tong and Fa Zheng who were serving abroad with more than ten letters.
All in all, because this imperial examination system takes care of the interests of all parties, and Zhuge Liang is a hero in the world, he can also see the advantages of this imperial examination system in the confrontation with Cao Ying, so Fang Shao's system did not suffer much resistance.
Therefore, more than three months after Cao Ying in the Central Plains implemented the "Jiupin Zhongzheng System" in the name of the Han Emperor, Liu Bei also issued an edict to implement the imperial examination in his ruling area, and scheduled to conduct the first scientific examination after the end of autumn.
After entering the summer, Fang Shao was ordered by Liu Bei to go to the three eastern counties to inspect and make relevant arrangements for the battle of Guanzhong that might be launched at the end of autumn, and just after Fang Shao had just finished his inspection of Fangling County in the easternmost area, news came from the family, saying that the two ladies had given birth to two little sons for him, and the date of birth of the two little sons was only more than ten days apart.
After hearing the news that he was a father, Fang Shao was very excited, quickly ended his business trip, and hurried back to Nanzheng.
As soon as he entered the door, Fang Shao heard the loud cry of the baby, the voice was loud and crisp, full of the strength of a newborn baby, Fang Shao was even happier in his heart, and secretly thought: "It is worthy of being my son, he cries so hard, and his physique must not be much worse." ’
So, Fang Shao strode into the back hall in a few steps.
At this time, Zhuge Rong and Sun Shangxiang were each breastfeeding their sons in their arms, and Fang Shao broke in without saying a word, but the two ladies were startled, and quickly tightened their clothes, so as not to leak the spring light, and when Fang Shao came in, they were all relieved.
"Husband, why don't you break in without a squeak, what should you do if you frighten the child." Sun Shangxiang complained with a smile.
"I'm not in a hurry to see our son, quick, show me." Fang Shao was in a hurry, the excitement of becoming a father for the first time was no different from ordinary people.
The two ladies held the child over at the same time, Fang Shao didn't know which one to look at first, so he asked for the surname to pick up the two sons together, and looked at this for a while, kissed that for a while, but his face was full of joy.
Fang Shao roughly weighed it, these two boys must weigh at least six or seven pounds, in this era when material nutrition is not very rich, to give birth to such a heavy son, it seems that his nutrition plan for the two ladies is not in vain.
Look at the two boys, white and fat, pink and tender, one is spitting bubbles and falling asleep, and the other is crying non-stop, in short, no matter how you look at it, it is very cute.
When Zhuge Rong saw his stupid look, he teased: "Look at you, you only care about your son, but you forget about us." ”
Fang Shao's attention was then removed from his sons, and he quickly kissed the two ladies one of them, and said with a smile: "The two ladies have worked hard, I have thanked you for the Fang family's martyrdom." ”
The two had just given birth, and although they had been recuperating for almost twenty days, there was still a little paleness and weakness on their faces, but when they gave him such a sudden kiss, their faces couldn't help but flush a little.
Sun Shangxiang first took over his son who was crying loudly, lowered his head and smiled: "I'll hug it, let you hug it again, our son will cry hoarse." ”
Fang Shao smiled and handed the two sons back to their mother, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "I was so happy for a while that I forgot to ask, by the way, which of them was born first." ”
"It's mine." Sun Shangxiang seemed a little proud between his words.
It's no wonder that according to the family rules, Zhuge Rong is the wife, and the son born by him is naturally the son-in-law, if he is still the eldest child, then he is the eldest and the elder, which means that his identity as the heir of the Fang family will be unshakable.
But fortunately at the moment, Sun Shangxiang's son was born first, although he did not grab the identity of his son-in-law, but at least he has the identity of the eldest son, which is also very helpful to his future status in the family.
Fang Shao was only happy to be a father at this time, and casually asked, where would there be those careful thoughts of their women's family.
"Husband, the child hasn't been named yet, you are the father, should you name them?" Zhuge Rong reminded lightly.
Fang Shao's spirits perked up, and he immediately became interested again, if he wanted to say that this name was as early as a few months ago, when he had nothing to do, he was thinking about what to name the child who was about to be born, what Fangzheng, Fang Yuan, and Fang Shiyu thought about a lot, but when it was really going to be used at this time, he didn't know how to choose for a while.
"I'll have to think about this." Fang Shao stood up and walked between the two ladies, muttering various names in his mouth.
Suddenly, two words flashed in his mind, and Fang Shao didn't think about it, he only felt that these two words were the most suitable for his son, so he blurted out: "Simply, the boss is called Fang Yan, and the eldest is called Fang You." ”
"Fang Yan, Fang You...... Well, it's a nice name, but I don't know what it means? Zhuge Rong asked curiously.
"Well, look at them, one of them is crying so hard, as strong as the sun overhead, and the other is sleeping so quietly, just like the white clouds, the heat and leisure, isn't it just right?"
Fang Shao's explanation was reasonable, and the two ladies were also happy in their hearts, so they had no objections.
Sun Shangxiang shook his son who couldn't stop crying in his arms, and said with a smile: "Xiao Fang Yan, Xiao Fang Yan, you have a name, Fang Yan, just like the sun, what an imposing name, don't like it, if you like it, thank your father quickly." ”
After Sun Shangxiang's teasing coax, Xiao Fangyan didn't cry anymore, he opened a pair of big dark eyes, and looked at him blankly, the man who smiled stupidly seemed to be saying: What are you looking at, haven't you seen a handsome guy......
