Chapter 481: Spy on the Imperial Examination of the School of National Politics
[At the end of the month, the monthly pass is doubled, don't forget to send it if you have free in your hands.] 】
If the wharf and the market are close to hell, after entering the county seat, Li Ba's master and servant feel that they have returned to the world. The city was full of people, but there was no longer the smell of sweat in the docks and markets, and the naked burning of money was rare on people's faces.
But it didn't take long to walk, and I felt that the eyes of the two servants were always drifting, and with a sweep of their sight, Li Ba took another breath, ah!
Only then did he notice that there were warblers and swallows all over the street, including servant women in coarse cloth jackets and rich women dressed in silk silks, who were not shy about showing their heads at all. There were also three or five of them in a bunch, laughing and talking.
On the street, Li Ba wanted to close his eyes but didn't dare to close them, so he had to look at the ground in vain, and said in his heart that he had gone to the wrong place, this is the place of Xiangfang!?
He thought so, and the servant of the melon-skin hat had gone into action, and went to the side of the street to ask where the girls' building was, and then he heard the women shouting indecent, and then the whistle of the patrol began.
The melon-hat servants were also loyal, and ran in the opposite direction, leaving behind the stunned Li Ba and the round-hat servants.
Li Ba hated and said: "Neither is she a prostitute, Ho's daylight is bewitching and confusing the public!" This Nanban is really a loss of people's hearts! ”
The round-hat servant looked at his companion who had been knocked to the ground by the patrolman's stick, and then at the indignant Li Ba, and lifted his mouth, but he was unable to say half a word.
After turning a few streets and alleys, I arrived at a remote place in the city, and saw a dilapidated mansion at the door of a dilapidated house in the distance, a white-haired old man was sending away a few men and women, wasn't that Chen Yuanlong!
"Li Julai! As a provincial constitutional platform, you dare to come alone, so bold ....... ”
Seeing Li Ba, Chen Yuanlong was also shocked.
Li Ba was even more frightened, he had just taken office, where did Chen Yuanlong get the news?
"The newspapers are clear, and the surrounding provinces have not been replaced, let alone the governor."
Chen Yuanlong held up a newspaper with the word "Zhongliu" written on the masthead.
"Is Mr. Guangling afraid?"
Li Ba beat the drum in his heart, feeling that this Southern Barbarian world was very different, and he didn't know if Chen Yuanlong had changed his mind.
Chen Yuanlong smiled bitterly: "What are you afraid of? The old man who is about to enter the ground, he can't even keep Mengtong, the person who is disgusted with the sky, you should be afraid of getting caught in the bad luck of the old man. ”
While speaking, he welcomed Li Ba into the room, listening to the resentment in this, Li Ba casually asked what was going on, in his mind, it should be the Nanban government deliberately making things difficult.
Chen Yuanlong sighed: "Nowadays, this Anglo-Chinese country has a wide range of Mongolian schools and primary schools, and arithmetic, gezhi, astronomy and geography must be taught from Mongolian studies. The neighbors did not want to let the schoolchildren be enlightened by the old man, so they all transferred to the nearby government-run Mongolian school. ”
Li Ba was angry and dragged the case: "Nanban is going to poison people's hearts since childhood!" Belch...... Old Chen, what's wrong? ”
Seeing that Yang Chen Yuanlong was stunned, Li Ba quickly changed his tone.
Chen Yuanlong shook his head: "It's not that it poisons people's hearts, arithmetic and gee, it is also the way of ancient learning..."
This is Chen Yuanlong's own heart, and when he met an acquaintance, he opened the conversation box and went straight to the road. It turned out that he was only good at Confucianism, and the neighbors around him felt that in this world, it was better to learn more things from an early age, and he couldn't just read the Four Books and Five Classics.
Xuezheng in the urban area, Xueyu in Guishan County, and even the magistrate came to Chen Yuanlong, hoping that he would teach in the county school. Mongolian school, primary school and even county school, whatever. But as long as he enters the school as a gentleman, he will have an official body, and Chen Yuanlong will naturally not do it. He really wants to be an official, bow his head to Li Shi, how can he be a squire and a scholar, why bother to put on an eight-nine-grade green skin to swagger.
Chen Yuanlong sighed: "Nowadays, the imperial court here calls the sage book a national study, which seems to be respected, but in fact, it is framed and placed alongside other learning. I am a disciple of Confucius, don't want to live alone in the temple...","
This topic was related to the Wenzhi of Nanban, Li Ba became interested, continued to ask, and after a short time, he had a general understanding of the Nanban school and the imperial examination. A little bit of a product, my heart is extremely shocked, this Nanban Wenzhi is so hard!
Let's talk about schools first, this Britain and North Korea run Mongolian schools and primary schools. Schoolchildren are enlightened at the age of six, the goal is to recognize words and ordinary reading and writing, in addition to the new version of the three hundred thousand, disciple rules, but also teach some superficial arithmetic, Gezhi, astronomy and geography, and even disabled veterans to train what queue boxing method, divided into three years, every year to advance. ,
Primary school is a six-year economic system, four books and five classics to read, arithmetic also to learn more profoundly, Gezhi is also divided into physics, chemistry and knowledge, what national law to learn, of course, the first thing is to learn the "Emperor Ying Jun Xian".
Chen Yuanlong pointed to a pile of books in the corner: "The books used in Mengxue and primary schools are all determined by the Guozijian, and the old man has found it and read it carefully, so he can only say ......"
The conclusion seems to be difficult to accept, but in line with the conscience of Confucianism, Chen Yuanlong is unwilling to reverse black and white, and finally reluctantly says: "If this education is completed, although this country does not dare to say that everyone is a sage, but there are very few fools who have learned it in nine years, not only have the virtue of establishing oneself, but also understand some ways of dealing with the world." ”
Li Baxindao The old gentleman was smoking, he should have been poisoned, this Nanban let the Confucian no longer live in the temple with the words of a sage, that is, there is no king and no father, why is he established? Isn't it just for governing the country?
But he also knew that he couldn't talk to Chen Yuanlong about this, so he continued to ask about the situation of the school. When he heard that there were now at least 10 government-run Mongolian schools in every county in Guangdong, and that there were even 30 Mongolian schools in Guishan County, and that there were 4,000 or 5,000 students in nearly 10 primary schools, he didn't believe it at all. How much silver does this cost? Even if you only raise Mr., Guishan County will have to raise hundreds, I heard that Confucianism and primary schools do not require students to be disciplined, and even books, paper and pens are exempt, how is this possible?
Chen Yuanlong said: "The imperial court here is very good at coordinating all parties, Mengxue Primary School, and running a school are all paid by three parties. The imperial court, the local government and the gentry, and the industry and commerce each contributed a share, while the court and the local government each contributed half of the education, and the ordinary pen, ink, paper and inkstone were donated by industry and commerce. Although Guishan County is not as big as Guangzhou County and Nanhai County, it is not a poor county. Next year's county government budget will be as much as 60,000 taels, of which 20,000 will be used for school support. ”
It seems that Chen Yuanlong is really concerned about Nanban's schooling, and he knows these details well. He also emphasized that in the Yinghua Imperial Court, Mengxue Primary School was developed at the same time, and another supplementary school was also set up to supplement the schoolchildren who were old enough but not enlightened.
Compared with Mengxue, Li Ba is more concerned about the imperial examination, how can he govern the country without taking the optical examination?
Chen Yuanlong didn't directly talk about the imperial examination, but talked about a higher-class school, "County school is a regular subject, and only those who have studied in the county for three years are eligible to participate in the imperial examination."
In addition, there are schools of commerce, law, engineering, and general affairs, and the imperial court treats them as county schools. There are even two military schools in Whampoa and Hong Kong, both of which are recruited from primary schools. In addition to the county school, there is also a business school in Guishan County, and many families want their children to enter the business school in the future. ”
"After studying in these schools, if you pass the exam, you will be a student, and then you can take the township exam. This year's opening is Enko, and according to rumors, it will be opened every year in the future. Now there are seven subjects: Jinshi, Mingfa, Mingmath, Tiangong, Tongshi, Jingyi and Erudition. Either they are directly assigned to errands, or they are admitted to several academies such as Baicheng and Huangpu, oh, now call the academy to study in depth. ”
"After the college has finished studying, there will be an exam, and winning the middle school is equivalent to the former Jinshi, and the exam will be held every three years, and this year Enke will also hold a meeting exam, but it will also follow the old system and change to the new system next year, and only people who are qualified to refer to it today."
said a lot, but Chen Yuanlong sighed with other feelings: "Today's students are very different from the past, although they have all passed the imperial examination, but the road ahead is not as uniform as in the past." Learning the sage books can only be an official, and they can only enter the Qingshui Yamen of the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Rites, or they can be assigned to local pawns. Unlike studying business, law, engineering, and even the military, not only can you become a practical official, but if you are not an official, you can also enter industry and commerce. Therefore, the Jinshi and Jingyi departments are becoming more and more declining, and even the Jinshi department is called the death department by the people. ”
Li Ba finally couldn't help but say: "The Southern Barbarians have suppressed Confucianism so far, and the Tao is no longer virtuous, why does Old Chen still live here and be with the snakes and scorpions!?" Why don't you go back to the court with your juniors and work together to destroy this gang of thieves!? ”
Chen Yuanlong looked at him stunned, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Daotong? ”
He shook his head again and again: "In this Yinghua, although the sages do not live in the temple, they still practice in the hearts of the people. The emperor of this imperial court, who cut off his father and took power by himself, was under his rule, but his words were wide open, almost a hundred schools of thought contended. At present, the government and the opposition are discussing the ban on firearms, and the government and the opposition are discussing the way of the rule of the ancient holy kings. Julai, why didn't the Dao system we held before brew such a scene? ”
He pointed to his bun: "The old man has long woken up and no longer recognizes the country of Aixinjue Luo as the country of my Han people." ”,
Finally speaking of braids, Li Ba felt that he had reached the point of tearing his face, and said in a deep voice: "Then Lao Chen Lao reported to the government here and tied me Li Ba!" ”
Chen Yuanlong sighed: "The old man doesn't recognize this Yinghua Zhengshuo, regardless of the north and south, he doesn't want to get involved in the temple affairs, why should he tie you up?" ”
Li Ba gritted his teeth: "The younger generation is willing to guarantee with his net worth, as long as Chen Lao returns to his homeland, he will never be punished by the imperial court!" If Chen Lao no longer wants to live in the temple, he can also return to his hometown to retire and enjoy the joy of family! ”
Chen Yuanlong shook his head: "What kind of person is the emperor in the north, the old man knows it in his heart." The old man is here, and the family is preserved, not only ......".
His eyes became deep: "I am also looking at the emperor in the south, to see where he can go, and whether he can lead this situation to heaven or earth." ”
Li Ba's heart was gloomy, and then he moved, it sounded that Chen Yuanlong seemed to have deeper insights into Yinghua's national politics?
Chen Yuanlong saw him pondering, and then smiled again: "Julai, you came here in person to find the foundation of this Yinghua, it doesn't hurt to tell you, I know some roots." ”
Li Ba said respectfully: "There is Lao Chen's advice" ,...
Chen Yuanlong said with a straight face: "As far as the old man knows, the northern court is definitely not the opponent of the southern court!" ”
Even if he respects this old gentleman, Li Ba is not satisfied, why, do you want to say what the benefits of guns and cannons are?
Chen Yuanlong said: "Throughout the ages, only the current imperial court can grasp the truth of the peasants' land to eighty or ninety percent of the truth!" ”
Li Balen paused for a moment, and then his face flushed, it was a kind of anger that his intelligence and common sense had been insulted.
But Chen Yuanlong's words are not finished: "Only now this court can let the gentry and farmers pay for grain in one piece!" ”
Li Ba began to cough, although he heard that Emperor Yongzheng had any plans, but Chen Yuanlong said that Nanban really did it, and he didn't believe it if he was killed.
Chen Yuanlong understands local government affairs very well, and one more sentence almost stunned Li Ba: "This imperial court, even if there is no fast gun and cannon, with the power of Guangdong Province, it can take over the entire world!" What did Qin rely on to destroy the Six Kingdoms back then? It is nothing more than the county and county Ge, one, the people of the household, and now this British Dynasty, in this matter, has the potential to surpass the ancestral dragon! ”)
