Chapter 16 Filial piety to the son to progress

People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.

Before entering the casino stud, you must leave some money to buy buns, which is Jia Liu's consistent principle of doing things.

It's called not going all the way.

In the same way, you can't put all your eggs in one basket.

The matter of the Jia family's flag, even if He Shen Zhen thinks of a way for the Jia family, but this He Zhongtang is not yet developed and belongs to the existence of people who are soft-spoken, even if people really look at the face of the Gao family and ask Yinglian for help, this matter may not be successful.

After all, it was Qianlong who designated the grandfather of the Jia family as the second minister, and it was the little rabbit cub of Fu Chang'an who got the Jia family into the flag list.

Counting the sky, Jia Liu estimated that the probability of touching his family's flag was at least seventy percent.

Therefore, before changing from a banner man to a Han Chinese, he had to think about what to do next, so as not to be in a hurry.

Detached from the ruling class, Jia Liu will definitely not do it.

The local owner is a businessman, and he is not interested.

He was only interested in being an official.

The so-called good men are not officials, such as brocade clothes walking at night, like eunuchs going to the green building - it's just boring!

Although the Jia family has half of the future, this half of the future is now on the head of his father Jia Daquan, unless Jia Daquan is farting today, otherwise Jia Liu is actually not a fart except for the identity of the flag man.

And Jia Daquan is really dead now, and most of the Yun Cavalry Captains who have half a future will be gone-this is all the flag of the whole family, and can he continue to receive the Shijue's subsidy? Enjoy the benefits of this Szker?

No matter which year it is, there are few people who send charcoal in the snow, and only those who fall into the well are called normal.

Maybe Fu Chang'an's kid is wondering what to do with the Jia family's half of the future.

Therefore, Jia Liu has to start the matter after the flag.

What old lady is too old, what Galileo vs. Lafayette will put it aside first, Lao Tzu is trying his best to coax the old lady to play, the root of his sister's progress is called your son gone, and coax you to a grandma.

However, Jia Liu, who had planned for the worst, had to find another shortcut to progress.

In the previous life of Jia Liu, a common man wanted to enter the officialdom and become a civil servant of the imperial court, which was not an ordinary difficulty, but a special difficulty.

But in the Qing Dynasty, there are many ways.

Because, the Qing Dynasty welcomed rich people to become officials, that is, to encourage rich people to buy officials, for this reason there is an official saying called "donation", that is, to openly sell official beards.

It is not uncommon to donate money to the imperial court to buy official jobs, and it is not the first of its kind in the Qing Dynasty, but it has appeared as early as the Qin Dynasty.

All dynasties and dynasties have had a system of donating money as officials, but they are not put on the table, which is an unspoken rule. This rule has given many people the opportunity to enter the officialdom, and even some talented people have become officials through this channel, such as the famous Sima Xiangru in the Han Dynasty.

It's just that in the Qing Dynasty, the official mantle was made public and formalized, and he no longer hid it, so I'm sorry.

The first to openly buy and sell officials was Qianlong's grandfather Kangxi, because the "Rebellion of the Three Feudatories" and the invasion of Mobei Mongolia caused the Qing court's treasury to be extremely empty, and had to rely on the sale of officials and lords to raise military salaries.

When it came to his son Yongzheng, because various reforms had enriched the treasury a lot, Yongzheng did not sell his official position much.

Compared with Lao Tzu, Yongzheng's son still has a face and can do things.

However, after Sun Zi Qianlong came to power, he was as shameless as his grandfather, not only took out the official selling system that was shelved by his father, but also carried it forward!

The reason is that Qianlong has used too many soldiers since he ascended the throne, which has caused his father to leave behind basically all the belongings, and in order to maintain the money and food needed for the war, he can only continue his grandfather's methods.

In addition, don't look at the 38th year of Qianlong now, it seems that it is the season of peace, and there are still a large number of anti-Qing organizations among the people, such as White Lotus, Heaven and Earth, Tianli, Bagua, Qingshui, etc. With the slogans of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" and "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty," these anti-Qing organizations have a certain mass base among the people.

In the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were anti-Qing uprisings almost every year.

Although the small scale accounts for the majority, it shows that there is always a small group of Han Chinese who are sticking to their national heritage and do not want to be slaves of foreign invaders.

This small group of people was later defined by Zou Rong, a national hero of the late Qing Dynasty, in the book "Revolutionary Army" as "Huang Han" - soldiers who fought for the rejuvenation of the Han nation and were willing to sacrifice.

All dynasties wanted the people not to rebel, and the most practical one was not to give the people more endowments. As long as the people do not starve to death, even if some people still secretly participate in various underground organizations, most people are still content with the status quo.

After all, there are always very few people who are willing to fight for the nation without fear of sacrifice.

But it is precisely the existence of these very few people that makes the Han nation endless, destroying the country again and again, and reborn again and again, so that the torch of Chinese civilization will always illuminate the East.

Qianlong was still very smart, and he learned the lesson of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Although he has been using troops almost every year since he ascended the throne for 38 years, and the scale of the use of troops is still very large, Qianlong's solution to his financial difficulties is not to give more money to the people, but to absorb a large amount of private funds to enrich the treasury by donating money to become officials, and at the same time to absorb the rich (elite) among the Han people into the ruling class of the Qing court.

In this way, it can not only prevent the people from rebelling against the Qing Dynasty because of the tyrannical expropriation, but also firmly tie the Han elite to the chariot of the Qing Dynasty.

Even Jia Liu had to praise this, Qianlong was more cunning than Chongzhen.

Another reason why "donations" prevailed in the Qianlong Dynasty was that there were too few officials on the right path.

The so-called right path is the way to enter the government through the imperial examination, five tributes (en, pull, deputy, year, and excellent tribute), and yin sheng. Among them, the imperial examination is the most, but the imperial examination is conducted once every three years, and only about 300 people are admitted each time, and an average of 100 people are recruited a year, and the number of officials in the entire Qing Empire is in the hundreds of thousands, so you can imagine how big the shortage of officials is.

There is really no other way to be an official, just relying on those officials produced by the imperial examination, the country has long been finished.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the "other-way" officials produced by the donation are also in line with the actual interests of the Qing Empire and are more conducive to maintaining the rule.

Under the "donation" system, ordinary people could get official positions by donating silver to the imperial court; Students can donate silver to make themselves become tribute prisoners, and then enter the officialdom; Officials can also donate silver to give themselves a higher level.

In this way, the imperial court has benefited, the wish of the officials has been fulfilled, and the rule from top to bottom has become more stable, so why not?

If you want to talk about the consequences, it is corruption.

A few years ago, Qianlong had to issue an edict saying that "donating is not a good thing, it is a temporary expedient and not feasible for a long time," and said that he would stop donating at the right time.

However, it has not stopped until now.

There is no other reason, silver.

Now it's okay, Jia Liu is about to lose his identity as a banner nobleman because the old lady was designated as a second minister, in order to realize his grand ambitions, of course he has to spare no effort to exploit the loopholes of the Qing court and dig the corners of Qianlong.

Buying an official is the most practical method he can think of.

Because, it is impossible for him to go to the imperial examination.

That half of the Analects last night had already diminished his wisdom.

But if you want to buy an official, you have to pay for it from his father Jia Daquan, and this money must not be a decimal number, and if the current situation of the Jia family is not good, he will have to sell the house and land, so Jia Liu must do the ideological work of Daquan.

"Dad, don't worry, as long as your son becomes an official, he will be filial to your old man!"

This statement is not insincere.
