After the meeting of the society, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xiong Xiang, who participated in the meeting for the second time, had a gloomy face. He gritted his teeth slightly, and in his hand he held a string of beads made of sheep's horns.

Beading was originally not a Buddhist thing, but a Taoist thing. Historically, there were no problems with the initial use of this object by Buddhism, until Kublai Khan attacked Taoism and Taoism declined, and the beads were taken away from other religions like the title of 'halal'. At this time, in the south of the Yangtze River, beads are not called Buddha beads. And with the development of the breeding industry, the texture of the beads has also diversified.

Xiong Shangshu clenched the beads in his hands, and there was not a trace of bead-related thoughts in his mind. He recalled the fierce ridicule of the Zhao Guanjia against the literati, and felt indignant in his heart.

'Since the plague of locusts has gone, the trees in the abandoned ponds are still tired of locusts.' Zhao Guan's family is also from a Jinshi, and his choice of words is not so elegant, at least it will not make everyone ambiguous.

Originally, Xiong Sheng had always been excluded from the society, but when he decided to follow the Zhao Guanjia because of the treatment, he worked hard to join the society. After hard work, I became a probationary member, but I didn't expect to participate in the second meeting of the society and hear harsh criticism of literati.

Recalling the content of the meeting, Xiong Shang felt his heart tighten for a while. However, what Zhao Guanjia said is not wrong at all, the literati just lack the attitude of long-term hard work. The taunt of the Zhao official family was stuck in this life gate like a dagger. But Xiong Sheng is not convinced, everyone is motivated to study, isn't what they want is to be able to guide the country and do great things.

Those hard jobs were not the work of officials who were born as jinshi, but the work that those who were looked down upon by the jinshi had to undertake. Xiong Shang, like many officials, thinks that the little officials are the 'cadres' borrowed by the Zhao official family. Cadres, cadres, cadres are members of the officer's department.

The carriage arrived at the entrance of the community. Xiong Sheng got out of the car angrily, and he didn't want to go home, so he started pacing along the green road of the community. With each passing year, the beautiful street trees grow more luxuriantly, and the originally sparse notes have become dense and beautiful. A light breeze blows under the trees, carrying the moist vapor of the artificial lake, which is very comfortable.

Even now, when he was in a bad mood, Xiong Sheng also felt that the stuffiness in his chest had evacuated a little. What will Wen Tianxiang think after seeing this thing? The thought came to me suddenly.

Everyone knows that Wen Tianxiang is a friend of Zhao Guan's family, and when Zhao Guan's family was still an official, he probably only had one friend in the capital, Wen Tianxiang. At that time, everyone thought that Wen Tianxiang was very individual because of his family's wealth and being a champion, and Zhao Jiaren was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of thirteen and had a lot of political achievements and merits along the way, so it was inevitable that he was a little arrogant. These two guys, both qualified to be arrogant, walked relatively close, and no one was surprised.

Now that Wen Tianxiang has been so refuted by Zhao Guan's family, Xiong Sheng has a feeling of schadenfreude. But not long after gloating, Xiong Shang felt that he couldn't really be happy.

Zhao Guanjia can have today's status because he can say extremely mean words. The reason why everyone willingly or reluctantly bowed their heads automatically was that the Zhao Guanjia had strength, and there were hundreds of thousands of people like the Zhao Guanjia who believed that they could insist on doing ordinary work every day firmly supported the Zhao Guanjia. These people are able to travel far and wide and bring back a lot of products from overseas. These people were able to defeat the Mongol army, discarding their armor and corpses all over the place. These people were able to block the Yellow River and divert it. These people can also engage in scientific research, increase grain production, make livestock grow faster, and keep food prices low enough that ordinary people can eat meat.

Is this the end of the era of the literati? Thinking of the supporters of the Zhao official family, Xiong Sheng felt a fear in his heart. He found that the anger that had been before was not the most fundamental reaction, but rather the fear. In the Great Song Dynasty, scholars and officials ruled the world together, but in the world of Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Guan's family, this policy, which had been implemented for hundreds of years, had already undergone fundamental changes.

Xiong Shangshu was angry, but Zhao Guan's family was not. If everything had to be angry for a while, the Zhao family could be in full anger 24 hours a day. The purpose of attacking the temperament of the scholars and doctors is to educate those guys with a background in the system not to do this. This is the purpose of Zhao Guanjia.

From the beginning of the construction of the society, the proportion of cadres was far higher than that of Jinshi. So after the meeting, Zhao Guan's family put the matter aside. Liu Meng, the secretary of the ministry, sent the list of Zhishi. Looking at a large number of familiar names led by Xu Yuanzhi, Zhao Jiaren asked, "Are you ready for the title?" ”

"Official. Now the title does not increase the pension. If you do this, these people will not be angry. Liu Meng asked cautiously.

"Huh." Zhao Jiaren laughed dryly, "It's strange that they're not angry!" But if they don't even have a title, won't they be even more angry? ”

Liu Meng could only laugh twice when he heard this, he actually felt that he could cancel the title. However, at this time, this issue could no longer be talked about, so Liu Meng changed the topic, "Official, you mentioned it last time, since it is a 60-year-old Zhishi, then the rules of seven up and eight down should be clearly listed." ”

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty also had a term of office, which was generally a term of three years. Seven up and eight down is that you can still give errands at the age of 57, and there are no errands at the age of 58. At the current level, 60 years old. In practice, at the age of 58, he officially lost his errand and entered the stage of practical service.

"Don't list this directly. Instead, it is used as an internal regulation when it is implemented by the ministry. Zhao Jiaren replied. When he was young, he always felt that there should be a world without ambiguity and steadfastness. Later, he began to understand that this was all childish thinking caused by lack of ability. There must be order, but there must be a recognition that accidents are the norm.

"Official. Will Wen Zhizhou be angry after reading something? At the end, Liu Meng asked a question that he didn't think was easy to say before.

"I think he's going to be angry." Zhao Jiaren replied very briskly.

"Then why did you write that?" Liu Meng was a little surprised.

"I wrote those things in the hope that he would be able to face the problem better, not to provoke him. I made it clear in my letter that these daily tasks are a great test for us to understand our powerlessness, our incompetence, and our uselessness. That's why we need to have an upward attitude. The literati always felt that getting the final proof was the way forward, but they didn't expect that the arduous process and the indomitable will were the upward movement. ”

"Oh." Liu Meng just responded. He knew that the Zhao official family was actually very serious in many things, especially in such things.

Two days later, the prefect Wen Tianxiang sent a telegram back. The content of the telegram was a poem called "Song of Righteousness". Not only did it go to the official, but Wen Tianxiang also asked his family in Hangzhou to print it in the newspaper.

…… Heaven and earth have righteousness, and miscellaneous manifolds. The lower part is the river mountain, and the upper part is the sun star. It is said that it is Haoran, and it is full of gloom. The royal road is clear, containing and Tuming Court. When the poor festival is seen, one by one. In Qi Tai Shi Jian, in Jin Dong Fox Pen. In Qin Zhang Liangshi, in the Han Su Wu Festival. For General Yan's head, for Ji's blood. For Zhang Suiyang's teeth, for Yan Changshan's tongue. Or for the Liaodong hat, clear the ice and snow. Or for the teacher's table, the ghosts and gods weep strongly. Or to cross the river, generously swallow the hu. Or for the fight of the thief, the reverse vertical head is broken. It is majestic and majestic. When it runs through the sun and the moon, life and death are sufficient......

Reading this work, which was not in an official newspaper, Liu Meng felt very moved. But it doesn't feel good to feel an indescribable feeling. Very bad.
