The breeze gently blows the willow trees on both sides of the lake, and the snow-white catkins curl in the air with the breeze, and then slowly fall on the ground like snowflakes.

In this crystal clear is like a mirror, on both sides of the general lake are such big brand willow trees, the opposite side of the willow tree is separated by a small road, is a large area of peach blossom forest, the brilliant blooming pink petals, attracted a lot of bees, butterflies fluttering, leaving a faint fragrance, so that passers-by feel relaxed and happy to smell it.

On a very old willow tree, there are a few very cute egrets, staying on the branches, Runzhi took a group of people to walk slowly around this ancient tomb, Runzhi seemed to be very interested in this ancient tomb, only to hear him say:

"In fact, most of the time, a large number of ancient tombs are built by people who have very political, economic and cultural status, these people have very strong rights or have a very strong economy, but most of them are princes and nobles, because only princes and nobles have enough strength to build this very thick huge project that requires a lot of manpower and material resources, in all dynasties. In fact, the countless ancient tombs are the rulers of all dynasties, and their descendants have used the many resources controlled by their families and the economic power accumulated by their families to participate in this huge project with hundreds of thousands or even millions of laborers, so that these very large tomb groups have been created."

The slight breeze also blew the wind in the valley at the bottom of the ancient tomb, and the crystal clear lake water suddenly had a clear ripple in the center of the lake, slowly spreading to both banks, which looked very wonderful.

In this crystal clear lake, many small fish and shrimp are covered with all kinds of pebbles under the water, the king hides and seeks, and many big fish swim unscrupulously on this water surface, spitting water bubbles to their heart's content, and seem to show their joy to the world.

Runzhi seems to have studied this ancient tomb very well, so he continued:

"Since ancient times, the common people have not had such economic strength to build such a large scale of ancient tombs, most of the people with such strength are the upper echelons of society, in fact, such people are often from the beginning of the imperial examination, so as to change from an ordinary person to a prince and noble, as the poem said that the court for Tian Shelang dusk to ascend to the Tianzi Hall is actually this imperial examination, so that many ordinary people have the opportunity to go to the ranks of princes and nobles, rather than the kind of generations, can only struggle at the bottom of society, And there is no chance to go to the top. ”

On the east side of the lake, there are very lush reeds with large insects and insects, and among these reeds grow many wild ducks, which swim in flocks in the lake, but they are also very calm, as if they are not afraid of human fright.

Cheng Hanyun listened to many of Runzhi's words, and seemed to have some thoughts of his own, but he could only hear him say:

"Indeed, this imperial examination has been the most important way for countless people at the bottom to achieve social mobility since ancient times, the average bottom of the scholars, their birth is often very lowly, but they can work hard, so as to become the kind of person they want to become, in the imperial examination, people only need to rely on their talents, with their understanding of the four books and five classics, especially with their writing, their thinking can go to the peak, Behind this is actually the knowledge reserve of these students and their thinking ability. In fact, this kind of examination is very fair, and you can become the kind of powerful person that people want to be. Therefore, in society, the imperial examination makes a large number of people eager to change their destiny through reading, and in fact, a large number of scholars, as long as they do have real talent and learning, they do have a unique understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics, and they can indeed get the best status. ”

Haozi listened to Cheng Hanyun and Runzhi's words, and naturally knew that the topic of the two had begun to bias towards the imperial examination from the previous ancient tomb, and naturally the monkey also had some opinions on this kind of imperial examination, so he could only hear him say:

"In fact, this imperial examination is naturally a very fair means, after all, if ordinary people do not have a fair selection method, then how can they have the opportunity to realize their dreams. If there is no imperial examination, how will this social resource be distributed, and how can people be motivated to learn this vast knowledge and culture? At the same time, the imperial examination can also motivate a large number of ordinary people to master a large amount of knowledge through hard work, so that through such a very precious knowledge, they can better get a higher status in society, and at the same time, they can become more knowledgeable, so why not? ”

Many Taoist priests followed behind the three of Runzhi and listened to the three of them talking, because they paid more attention to going with the flow, and most of what they usually knew and learned was a lot of knowledge in the Tao Te Ching, so they knew a lot of remarks in the Tao Te Ching, but they didn't know much about other aspects of knowledge, so they didn't interject. Reading nests

Runzhi pointed to a very beautiful plum tree full of fruit in front of him, and then said:

"On this plum tree, in fact, those yellow fruits are very delicious, after all, the flesh of these fruits is very delicious, their branches and leaves are the kind of sweet and sour, very attractive taste, but although this plum is delicious, but it is not advisable to eat too much at once, we can go over to taste it. In fact, this plum is also a fruit worth tasting, as a kind of fruit that only comes in early spring and March, and often other fruits are not ripe during this period, because most of the fruits are fruitful in the golden autumn season, and the fruits only begin to ripen at this time. But this plum is different, the plum is often in the early spring, that is, in the south of the Yangtze River in March, when the fog and rain are misty, it has begun to ripen, and it can be said that it is a clear stream among all the fruits. It is precisely because of this, in the early spring of March, this plum is naturally favored by many people, after all, at this time, many fruits have not yet officially ripened, the so-called rare is expensive, so at this time plum in all the fruits, it can be said that it is very popular with people"

The breeze gently blew the plum tree, the fruit on the plum tree, unconsciously there were three or four slowly falling from the tree, falling in the grass, there are several very ripe and yellow and look like the fruit wings are ripe, the fruit falls on a green grass next to the breeze blowing, it looks big, but it is also very attractive, people look a kind of salivating feeling.

Runzhi walked forward, picked up a fruit that fell to the ground, and then gently peeled the skin, and then tasted a bite of this plum, as soon as the electricity took a bite of it, immediately the pale yellow juice slowly flowed out of the flesh, which looked very attractive.

Runzhi took a bite of this plum, and immediately felt very delicious, naturally this plum is indeed very good, making people feel a sweet and sour feeling of eating, which can stay in the mouth for a long time, and make people feel very happy.

Runzhi seemed to think of something, so he said:

In fact, we know that this imperial examination can enable many lower classes to enter the upper class of society through their talents, and at the same time, can they link their ideals with this imperial examination, and through such a fair imperial examination, people can have a legal and very reasonable fair competitive environment, so as to make many outstanding talents. All have a stage that can be boldly struggled, that is to say, many people can pass the imperial examination to have a fair and fair competitive environment, in fact, a fair competitive environment is indeed very rare, after all, this means that many people can be on the same starting line for their own life goals to work hard for the charge, this kind of goal it needs to be entered, its realization needs to be based on its real internal strength, Therefore, it is difficult to rely only on those who go through the back door or some other despicable and shameless means, and it is precisely because of this that many outstanding people can stand out by virtue of the imperial examination and must study. The Tang and Song dynasties were all known through the imperial examinations, including many of the names we know, which can be caused by the prevalence of the imperial examination system after the official establishment of the imperial examination system, so that many talented and intelligent people can realize their ideals and have a stage worth fighting for. ”

There are many wild birds flying around on this lake, and there are all kinds of dragonflies, playing freely on one side of the lake, and there are some seats on both sides of this lake that can walk on the road, they don't know that these many soldiers are digging ancient tombs here, they only think that there are important local feudal officials patrolling here, in order to ensure his safety, so that many soldiers patrol here.

Cheng Hanyun listened, so he said:

"In fact, since ancient times, people have longed for a very fair spiritual environment, this is because the spiritual environment is very important to people, after all, people want to get the ideals people want, in order to achieve the goal must have a fair stage, if there is no fair stage, then those who have money and power, they will inevitably through corruption, so as to firmly control the resources of the society, so that it is difficult for the people at the bottom of the society to achieve class mobility, especially the power and money transaction, It actually blocks the space for the flow of people at the bottom. In fact, most people need to have a level playing field, and without such a competitive environment, then it is impossible to achieve their true ideals and goals. Because of the realization of ideals and goals, a lot of diligence and hard work are indispensable, but if there is no such a platform that is worth living and working hard for, then it is impossible for them to easily achieve their goals, or even never achieve their goals, this is because since ancient times it is very important to be able to compete, but whether they can only be discovered and appointed only if they are truly built in a very fair competitive environment. And only those very rich and talented elites in the society can be used for better development of this society, and can move towards the goal of benign development. If the underground officials control the social resources, then a large number of social elites will not be able to control the social resources, so if you make them unable to control the social resources normally, then the society will fall into a dangerous situation. ”

Cheng Hanyun continued:

"So a country and a nation are dangerous, this is because since ancient times, it is difficult to do the dawn, the people are the foundation of everything, that is to say, all the material wealth and knowledge of the wealth are created by the dawn people, but this is the dawn people need a very effective organizational system, that is to say, they need a very talented and learned person to rule them to manage them, so that the society can achieve benign development, read on this basis, If those who have the materials to embezzle and corrupt through the exchange of money and power, so as to prevent them from flowing normally and prevent them from getting their due positions, then it will cause social turmoil and crisis, all problems and contradictions, all social injustice, and even social chaos will arise because of this. Talent is the most fundamental, and the excavation of talent must have a ruler, the ruler will dig out the talent, for the use of farmers, for the use of private people, can make the society more harmonious and beautiful, this is what a society should be, that is to say, only in this way can the entire dawn of the people can get benefits, not to say that the elite of the whole society has financial intelligence all suppressed, through money and power trading or corruption methods, As a result, many financial authorities will continue to exert their abilities, and the whole society will face very huge contradictions and crises."

The breeze gently blew on the surface of the lake, and suddenly there were 10 wonderful ripples up and down, and many wild ducks were still in the lake, swimming around, freely from the surface of the water to the bottom of the water, replenishing the fish in the water, while some eagles were soaring in the sky watching the land, and suddenly rushed to the earth, picked up a hare, and then disappeared without a trace.
