"Xinke Jinshi was knocked out by the fruit?" Zhao Han couldn't help laughing.

Song Yingxing: "It's not that I was stunned by the fruit, but I was frightened and fell off the horse and fell on the ground,"

Zhao Han asked, "It's okay, right?" ”

Song Yingxing: "It's fine."

After the resumption of the imperial examination, the hearts of the scholars were also settled, even if many of them were not qualified to take the exam. But you can educate your children, the gentry, the wealthy businessmen, all of them are crazy to spend money to train their offspring.

The new education system and the way officials were selected were adapted to the new education system.

In their minds, the small is the former society, the primary graduates correspond to the children, the middle school is the former county, and the middle school graduates correspond to the talents. The big is the government and the country, and the graduates of the university correspond to the lifting of people.

The selection of officials is the same as before, but it has to start from eight or nine grades.

The selection of officials must be children or people, and they must also take a public examination before they can take up their posts. Scribes and soap officials can be promoted upwards regardless of their ranks, and they can even be quality officials.

It may not seem like a big change, but it's actually very important.

The diploma and examination requirements of the officials have broken the control of the small official family over the locality, making the chief official more handy when he governs, and also strengthened the control of the imperial court over the locality.

At the cost of rising administrative costs!

Many officials in the Ming Dynasty were not paid by the government, and they made a living by corrupting the law and exploiting the people, and now all of them need the government to pay salaries, which is equivalent to increasing the salary expenses of countless civil servants.

In addition, there are many small counties in each county, and the expenditure on education at the grassroots level is also very large, and some poor counties have cried out to their superiors for their poverty.

Li Banghua said: "The county-level tax should also be set aside for the local government, especially in the poor counties where commerce is not prosperous and mountainous, and the phenomenon of arrears in the county and town officials has appeared. In some places, it has been in arrears for several years, and only three or five solid moon bodies are issued every year.

It was still reported by the integrity inspectors, and the local governments at all levels finally reported to the authorities. “

Zhao Han also read the report of the anti-corruption inspector and agreed: "Then leave an extra 10% of the tax for the local government." ”

Zhao Han took out another secret report, which was sent by Liaodong Xizuo, and was sent directly to the emperor bypassing the imperial court: "Dol Decline and Dai Shan are dead,"

Pang Chunlai opened his eyes suddenly: "Infighting?

Zhao Han said with a smile: "Last winter, Dai Shan and Dolgon died of illness one after another, just when the battle between the puppet Qing Empress Dowager and Dai Shan was the most intense, these two people suddenly died of illness, which made Man Dahai frightened, and led his troops out of Benhun River City to stand on his own, of course, Man Dahai did not openly rebel, only listened to the puppet Qing court. “

The actual territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is already very small, and now it is still divided into two, which is simply a fried ant after the autumn.

Pang Chunlai: "Your Majesty, you can use troops in the Northeast,"

Zhao Han said: "Let all departments in Liaoning prepare, and as soon as the rainy season passes, they will go out immediately." ”

It's still March, and it takes time to send the order to Liaoning, and it takes time to transport military rations to Liaoning.

Pang Chunlai again: "When the Tartars are destroyed, please allow your majesty to allow the old minister to give advice,"

Zhao Han thought for a while, nodded and said, "When the time comes, I will send someone to escort the teacher back to his hometown." ”

Pang Chunlai has been in poor health for the past two years, and he really wants to go back to Liaodong to enjoy his old age. Although Liaodong is bitterly cold and is not a place to retire, it has been away from his hometown for many years, and his dreams are all fallen leaves and return to his roots.

Li Banghua followed: "Your Majesty, the minister is old and frail, and after sweeping away his son, he also asked Zhishi to return to his hometown,"

"Mr. Li is old and strong, please work hard." Zhao Han symbolically retained.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Banghua plans to resign three times.

First, he is indeed old, he is 76 years old this year, and secondly, he knows the emperor's thoughts, Pang Chunlai stayed, and he was a member of Jiangxi. Pang Chun came and left. He, Li Banghua, had better follow along.

…

A few days after the Qionglin feast, the examination of the Gilis began. From the 197 jinshi in the second and third grades, 15 people were selected, who first went to the cabinet to observe the government and familiarize themselves with the situation, and then became relatively low-level middle scholars, that is, ordinary clerks in the cabinet.

In the future, the Zhongshu Sheren will be all champions, Bangyan, Tanhua and Shujishi, so that they can be familiar with national affairs, and then go out to the local area to be deputy county-level officials, and step by step re-promoted back to the central court.

This is very different from the Ming Dynasty, and this group of top Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty was directly thrown into the Hanlin Academy. The first and third are to compile books, read history, assist the cabinet or make tender house government affairs, give lectures to the emperor and prince, etc., and then wait for the seniority to be promoted, through the Zhan Shifu as a springboard, promoted to the squire, Shangshu, and cabinet ministers, and the Ming Dynasty's Shu Jishi, the most powerful to be a science and Taoist official, followed by the Hanlin Academy, the qualifications into the six departments, and the second is also to be a governor in the outside place.

Zhang and Zhang Juzheng were both disgusted by this phenomenon, among which Zhang was particularly strong, and once threw most of the Jishi of a certain session to the local government to become officials.

And then offended a whole bunch of people. As a result, Zhang Pi was all kinds of black, and even became a villain in "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty",

The assessment of the Jishi is over, and the way of the new scholars has basically been finalized.

In order to express themselves, the first thing they did was to give the emperor a message and put forward their thoughts on the country's policy.

"This Cui Wenxiu is interesting," Zhao Han smiled, "A Korean official, hard Korea has been Chinese territory since ancient times, please take back the three provinces south of the Yalu River first, that is the homeland of the Great Yuan Dynasty haha, but he is very loyal." “

Li Xiangjun: "Fanbang Shizi, you have to be more radical."

Zhao Han picked up another note, only read a few paragraphs, frowned, and asked, "Are there many women in the folk who bind their feet?"

Li Xiangjun replied: "When the minister was young, it was rare, and I only heard that there were noble girls in the township who bound their feet. Later, it slowly became more, especially when they were sold into the Qinglou, and there were many women in the Qinglou who bound their feet. When the minister was sold by his relatives, he was past the age of foot binding, but he was still forced by his mother to bind his feet. ”

Zhao Han looked down and said, "I can't see it,"

Li Xiangjun: "It's too hard to wrap up." ”

"Take off your shoes and take a look." Zhao Hanyan was curious.

Li Xiangjun blushed and said, "Is it here?" “

"Yes." Zhao Han nodded.

The female officials and palace maids next to them all snickered, and Ding Shijing, who was in charge of the living notes, hurriedly,

Zhao Han asked the palace maid to move a stool, and Li Xiangjun sat down to remove his shoes and socks.

Zhao Han reached out and pinched her foot, raised her little foot to take a closer look, the big toe was completely normal, and the other four toes looked slightly smaller and a little buckled. On the whole, it's not a deformity, and it's still a little strange beauty.

Zhao Han asked: "Is there any kind of foot binding that hurts the muscles and bones today?" ”

Li Xiangjun was already so ashamed that his face was flushed, and his chest was tense, and he replied: "I have indeed heard that some families let young girls intensify foot binding for the sake of three-inch golden lotus, and in severe cases, they will sprain their bones, and even let them grow deformities after dislocation." “

Is this situation more common? Zhao Han asked.

Li Xiangjun shook his head: "It doesn't seem to be much,

Zhao Han picked up the note and sighed: "Now there are more and more."

This note, written by Zhejiang Jinshi Mao Lei, denounced the phenomenon of foot binding becoming more and more popular, and more and more riding, and asked the emperor to order a national ban on women's foot binding.

The formation and spread of the foot-binding trend has nothing to do with Cheng Zhuli, nor does it have anything to do with the rule of the Manchu Dynasty.

Zhu Xi didn't talk about foot binding, but his second disciple Che Ruoshui denounced the phenomenon of women's foot binding, and foot binding originated from the Han and Tang Dynasties.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, foot binding was also prohibited many times. As a result, the more forbidden it became, the more common it became, and in the end it had to be stopped, and in the late Qing Dynasty, even Manchu women began to bind their feet.

Through the perspective of Western missionaries, the phenomenon of foot binding can be viewed.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Limo Dou was not surprised by foot binding. Maybe it's the foot binding at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which is not so deformed, and it is still within an acceptable range.

In the Qianlong period, when the British envoy Magalny visited China, the Englishman was shocked. After investigation and inquiry, he learned that foot binding is the fashion of upper-class women, and the lower-class women bind their feet very little for the convenience of work, and the northern and southern provinces are similar, but the closer to Beijing, the more ordinary women bind their feet, which has become a kind of pursuit of identity and fashion.

From Magalny's records, two points can be inferred: first, foot binding in the Qianlong period has not yet been completely transmitted to the middle and lower classes; Second, at least since the Qianlong period, foot binding has spread among middle- and lower-class women, and is a symbol of the family's entry into the upper class.

Only a few decades after Magalny's visit to China, the phenomenon of foot binding was already widespread in the late Qing Dynasty, and even the daughters of rural landlords were small-footed.

That is, it only took a few decades for foot binding to complete the popularization from top to bottom. Don't talk about what foot binding is anti-Qing Dynasty, there may be this kind of factor at the beginning, but the great development of foot binding was in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, which definitely has nothing to do with what is anti-Qing Dynasty.

Zhao Han carefully read this letter and found that he did not understand the specific situation, so he asked Mao to come to the audience.

"Minister Mao Fan, meet Your Majesty!" Mao Fan was very excited. Unexpectedly, he was summoned for asking for a ban on foot binding.

Zhao Han asked, "Are you from Zhejiang?"

Mao Fan replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is a native of Jiashan County, Jiaxing Prefecture, graduated from Hangzhou University, and his ranking is the sixteenth in the top three. “

Zhao Han suddenly smiled, he liked the scholars cultivated by the new education: "There are a lot of women in Jiashan who bind their feet?

Mao Fan replied carefully: "Jiashan County is located between Jiaxing Mansion and Songjiang Mansion, the county seat is located on the edge of the canal, after Shanghai opened the sea and built a port, countless goods from northern Zhejiang have to be transported to Shanghai through Jiashan, so commerce is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are many people who are rich because of business.

The gentry bound their daughter's feet and observed it as a high-class tutor,"

Well, there's a lot of money.

Mao Fan continued: "I don't know where it came from, the tighter the foot binding, these wealthy businessmen, extremely good-looking, think that the smaller the daughter is entangled, the more authentic, so they have learned the new foot binding method. The minister had seen with his own eyes, a young sister with the same young sister, who was completely dislocated from the foot bones, and his feet were red, swollen and pus-flowing, and his father used this to show off his strict family education and elegant family. ”

"Abominable!" Zhao Han said angrily.

Mao Fan said: "Foot binding is an elegant thing, w; Golden lotus's little feet are loved by everyone, but they can be entangled to hurt the muscles and bones, not to mention the scenery, it is simply disgusting!

The mainstream foot binding method in the Ming Dynasty was divided into two factions: the north and the south.

In the north, you don't even need to bend your toes, just wrap them more slenderly, and in the south, you need to buckle your four toes inward, which is slightly deformed, but it still won't damage your body.

The method of wounding muscles and bones began at the end of the Ming Dynasty and spread widely in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhao Han asked, "What reason do you think should be used to prohibit women from binding their feet?" ”

Mao Fan said: "It hurts the heavens and the peace,"

Zhao Han shook his head: "Haven't you read the Book of Filial Piety?" The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not be damaged, the beginning of filial piety, Xiangjun! “

"The minister is here," Li Xiangjun stepped forward.

Zhao Han said: "Women who plan to bind their feet to the point of destroying their bodies are all regarded as unfilial daughters, and they are not allowed to study, be officials, or marry officials!" Her husband is not allowed to obtain a franchise license, and once discovered, he will take it back immediately! “

Zhao Han likes to use magic to defeat magic, Cheng Zhuli he uses it very easily, and he also uses Confucian classics very easily.

"The Book of Filial Piety" is like that, of course, the one who binds her feet is not a filial girl, even if her parents allow it.

Now foot binding is still limited to rich families, once foot binding women are not allowed to study, be officials, marry officials, and even marry businessmen with franchise rights, do you see if those bastard fathers dare to bind their daughters!

Moreover, labeled as unfilial daughters, it is difficult for them to marry out.

As for the women who have been disabled due to foot binding, they are very wealthy and can only inhabit them, but fortunately, there are still few at this time.
