Chapter 607: Xiucai doesn't work
Nian Fu thought to himself, as a psychology student, didn't pay attention to this story! You have to study hard in the future, like Xiaotian said that this guy should study, read more books, read more books, and brag about it at critical moments!
Nian Fu smiled and said: "Hehe, Tianshu, you said that I will open a shop near you in the future, will the two of us fight at that time?" ”
Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Hahaha, how can it be, there are many businesses in the world, do I have to fight with you and not eat, if you don't do it, everyone else will do it." It's all a big family spinning together, how can one person eat a big fat man! ”
Nian Fu smiled: "Hehe, that's good, I just thought that if I work after graduation, to be honest, my personality is very lazy, I really don't complain about anything, go to work from 9 to 5?" Can you start a business, or I have been employed since I was a child, you say that I will go back to my hometown, I will touch the scene, see my dilapidated family, there is no one, I have to die of sadness, maybe one day I will be thrown someday! I still want to be with you and Xuan Chu, we are all together, do a little business, earn some money and live a good life, and the most important thing is that I can be alert to myself in real time in front of you, so that I can seriously cultivate immortals and gain the Tao......"
Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Hehe, yes, when the time comes, we will do this together, anyway, you said that we will also study this for us, and the deeper traditional culture has brought some knowledge, it is indeed very cultured in ancient times, fortune tellers are all talents, ordinary people don't have this ability, because books can't be understood, now this society is our line of people have all become liars, fortune tellers have become liars, and it is different from before, It is still necessary to have more literate talents in order to continue to pass on this Taoist culture......"
Nian Fu smiled and said: "Do all the ancient Xiucai know hexagrams?"
Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "First of all, ancient scholars basically read the Book of Changes, whether they want to take the exam to become an official, or live in seclusion in the mountain springs, the Book of Changes is a must-read for the three religions." Whether it is a talent, a Taoist priest, or a monk, they all have the opportunity to read the Book of Changes.
Secondly, the I Ching contains the content of fortune-telling, however, the I Ching is not the same as fortune-telling. In later generations, the I Ching was divided into the school of mathematics and the school of righteousness, the former engaged in divination, and the latter engaged in philosophical research. ”
Nian Fu said: "It's really a bit interesting to say this, this Sunday can be regarded as our all-encompassing book in China, what hexagrams, what feng shui, in fact, a lot of them are included in it......"
Xiao Tianshu said: "Again, Zhou Yi's fortune-telling is not the same thing as the fortune-telling and fortune-telling we usually say. Zhou Yi hexagram mainly relies on rhetoric, and people who think of Confucius and other profound people will use Zhou Yi to calculate. The fortune-telling we usually talk about is a relatively independent school established by using the principles of yin and yang and the five elements, combined with fixed methods, and using the name of the I Ching. Therefore, in ancient times, Xiucai may or may not be able to calculate hexagrams, and even if they can do hexagrams, it is not necessarily what we understand as hexagrams. ”
Nian Fu smiled: "Hehe, that's what I said, if we talk about this, it's really a bit simple for us to go to the temple to raise money for museums and the like, maybe it's luck, but to be honest, Zhou Yilai pushed this kind, I think it's still very scientific, scientific basis......"
Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "There is actually a lot of truth in my ancestors' things, and when it comes to science, it can't all be scientific, no matter what, science can't explain things......"
Nian Fu said: "In ancient times, there were many people who dreamed of being admitted to Xiucai. Although everyone will feel very poor and sour when it comes to Xiucai, why are there so many people who want to take the exam? ”
Xiao Tianshu said: "Most of the Xiucai are very poor, which everyone knows, but its social status can be relatively high. Although it is the lowest level of fame in the ancient examination, it is also a person who reads, and in the ancient feudal society, the treatment of a scholar is naturally different from that enjoyed by some people with less culture. In ancient times, people needed to pay taxes and labor, and many families could not afford it, so they could only sell the land, or do it themselves, life was indeed very difficult, but if someone in the family was admitted to Xiucai, the whole family could be exempted from labor, which is why so many people wanted to take the Xiucai exam in ancient times. ”
Nian Fu said: "Wow, although there are such great benefits, if this is my words, I will also take the Xiucai exam, and I can fight for myself as a citizen and exempt the whole family from servitude, why not, I will say it, most people may not be able to be an official when they take the exam, but also have to be tested to other grades, what Jinshi, Bangyan, Tanhua, champion, I didn't expect everyone to take the Xiucai, and there are such benefits, don't work without work, even if you can't get a champion, you can work less, it's better than not working, sell the land...... ”
Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Hehe, another reason is that Xiucai can see officials without kneeling, if it is an ordinary person, they all have to kneel in ancient times." If it is in court, the county magistrate can use the prisoner to extract a confession, but for Xiucai, he does not have this right, and he has freedom of speech. If it were you, would you want to be a showman in ancient times? ”
Nian Fu smiled: "Of course you have to think about it, it's so big, for example, maybe I can't take the exam, after being admitted to Xiucai, I have to be able to share a little burden for my family, isn't this prison just linked to money?" If you can't work, then what are you doing if you don't take the exam! It's great to think about my current rich modern society, where you don't have to work yourself, and the state doesn't collect taxes and pays subsidies......
Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Hahaha, even I think it's good in this society now, I can do whatever I want freely, put it away if I don't make money, or rent it out for others to plant, and this kind of day is not so hard, it's all mechanized, like my mother's farming when I was a child is not like this, I have to work by myself to plant flowers, and I work one by one, although I have been walking on the mountain since I was a child, but no matter how small it is, I also have a little bit of influence, so when I come back, our family's land is not planted, Most of them have been contracted out for other people......"
Nian Fu smiled and said: "Hehe, how pitiful this is, you don't know that our family has always been worried, and there are people in our family who work, but I heard my grandfather say that when there was a big group life, there was no way to help you work, and there was no way to let the ghost work, so I could only do it little by little." After the distribution is given to the individual, we have people to work......"
