Chapter 195: Improving Finances
Gao Cheng, who was immersed in joy, named the eldest son Bodhisattva, and the second son named Ah Yan.
The Bodhisattva slave is naturally Gao Cheng's joke when he recalled the first time in his life and Erzhu Ying'e's Bodhisattva sending his son.
As a crop that is used both as grain and vegetables, it is impossible for Gao Cheng to eat his son, but he just hopes that Erlang can feed well.
The name of the milk can be taken at will, but the name must be solemn, Gao Cheng named the eldest son Gao Xiaozhang, and the second son named Gao Xiaoyu.
A Zhang character is enough to explain Gao Cheng's expectations for his eldest son, he never thought about whether Gao Xiaozhang could survive himself when the father and son were only seventeen years apart.
Gao Cheng sent two names to Jinyang to ask Gao Huan's opinion.
The beloved daughters were not left behind, and Gao Cheng did not give them a big name, but only called the eldest daughter born to Yuan Mingyue as Ah Mi.
Waiting for the night of her birth, Gao Cheng dreamed that he was on the bank of the Luoshui River, and Luo Shen came in the wind.
And Ah Mi's second daughter, who was a day late, was born to Xiao Erzhu, whose milk name was Guo'er, hoping that she could become her own pistachio.
The safe birth of two sons and two daughters made Gao Cheng happy, but he could also devote himself to government affairs with confidence.
After resting for five days in a row, in the early morning of the sixth day, Gao Cheng was in Zhongshu Province early, reading letters from poor students from all over the world.
They sent the letters to the local government office, and the state and county magistrates arranged for messengers to send them to Luoyang.
The passionate words and the accusation of injustice made Gao Cheng difficult to let go of for a long time.
If you ask yourself, the main purpose of his imperial examination is not fairness.
It is the secondary reason that they can tolerate the advantages and disadvantages of the children of the scholar clan, and all of them are officials.
Through the imperial examination, the power to elect officials was recovered from the localities to the central government, and the centralization of power was weakened.
Every student is an official, and he needs to be selected by a low profile, and through us, he will either serve in the central government or let the locality go, so as to completely control the country in various departments, instead of sending a henchman to serve as a thorn in the past.
That's the main purpose of Low Cheng.
It is also the reason why we are unified, and we set out to create the imperial examination.
It's relatively fair, it's just a matter of doing it.
The regression of the times has always been achieved overnight, and if it were not for the slaughter of the late Tang Dynasty, it would be difficult to transfer power from the scholars to the hands of the Hanmen before the Two Song Dynasty.
Low Cheng has to wait so long, and the imperial examination I created is the same as the protection of the interests of the gate valve in the Sui and Tang dynasties.
It can be admitted that now knowledge is controlled by the scholars, and the officials recorded are destined to be few from the scholars.
However, as long as we adhere to the principle of emphasizing one's own one's birth, we will promote Mongolian learning and official learning at all levels through the opening of the imperial examination.
The development of printing technology transferred knowledge from small families to the people.
In my lifetime, I will definitely be able to see students from poor backgrounds rise in the court.
After all, he is only eleven years old, and his age is the smallest capital.
Even if it takes 70 years to revitalize culture and education and cultivate a small number of outstanding talents from poor families, I am still over 81 years old, in the prime of life.
The most important reason why Low Cheng is obsessed with the cultivation of poor students is that the children of the poor who were born in the imperial examination are different from the scholars: it is difficult for us to threaten the imperial power.
is as enlightened as Li Shimin, and he will also unjustly kill Li Junxian because of the name of the Seventh Lady.
To change that sense of what it is, we need the rise of the cold door, we have no family strength support, and we may be lucky to produce several generations of retirees, but in the end it is not a threat compared to the accumulation of hundreds of years of the lower gate valve.
In the final analysis, the original intention of abolishing the four products and opening the imperial examination is just to protect their own interests.
It's just that my interests are in line with the demands of poor students.
Low Cheng read the letters for a while, which were often mixed with the maintenance of the four-grade Zhongzheng system, and he continued to read it.
The students were too enthusiastic about submitting letters, and they really wanted to read them one by one, and it would be something else to do in a few days.
Low Cheng ordered people to invite Low Longzhi over, and told me all his ideas about engraving printing, movable type printing, and lead movable type printing.
That also aroused the low attention of the man who was well versed in the work, and I vaguely said that the printing press was important for the promotion of knowledge.
Whether engraving printing and movable type printing have too much technical content is only the whim of genius.
And the lead printing technology needs to be quickly studied by the Ministry of Engineering under the leadership of Low Longzhi.
But what Low Cheng didn't have was patience, so I told Low Longzhi to let people print out the engraving first, and use scientific research books such as "Four Chapters of Arithmetic" as a template.
Low Cheng handed over the eight departments to Low Longzhi and Sun Teng.
Eight departments of labor, soldiers, and households were led by Low Long, and eight departments of officials, criminals, and rituals were led by Sun Teng.
The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War were handed over to the low Longzhi to give full play to the expertise of my fortifications, whether it was the manufacture of agricultural tools or siege equipment, there was no such a professional personnel, and it would always be more reliable.
And the household department is completely because it can hand me over to Sun Teng along with the ministry.
Sun Teng is also here in Luoyang now, just wait for Li Changyi to arrive, and he will be ready to marry you and Yuan Yuyi together.
Yuan Yuyi's brother Yuan Bin also needs to go to Jinyang as a slave, but being a slave in Luoyang may be more tormenting for me, especially when I have no old relationship with Sun Teng's mansion.
On July 14 of the eighth year of Taichang, the emperor held a court meeting again on the instructions of Low Cheng.
The letter was divided into two parts and moved down to the court, and there was a huge disparity between the widows and the widows.
None of the baskets are expressions of the maintenance of the positive system of the four products, and the rest of the baskets are full of people's accusations against the public.
"Your Majesty! That's not public opinion! ”
Low Cheng pointed to the letters and said to Yuan Shanjian.
The materialized public opinion also gave everyone a very small impact, did they dare to talk to Low Cheng, saying that what is the Shi clan is the people, and the rest are mud legs.
In the face of the turbulent public opinion, there is no one who adheres to the four-grade zhongzheng, and low Cheng also successfully obtained the will of Yuan Shanjian, and I created a set of election systems that can replace the four-grade zhongzheng system.
The court was dissolved before the decree of the low Cheng.
Low Cheng returned to Zhongshu Province and wrote down everything he and his cronies had said that day.
The end of the four-rank zhongzheng system is that the imperial examination system will become the only system for electing officials, and at most the system of shadow officials will be retained.
The so-called shadow official refers to the retreat into officialdom by virtue of his father's shadow.
In order to prevent the phenomenon of a small number of officials due to the Yin official system, Low Cheng will also assess the Yin Sheng, and the difficulty will be on par with the county test, and in order to prevent cheating, it will be presided over by Low Cheng himself in Luoyang.
It is equivalent to only having no knowledge to show off talents, and you can be an official.
That also eliminates the possibility of corrupting political affairs for the children of officials who also know what.
That's the case, Low Cheng will also make certain restrictions on the future of the shadow officials, and the children of the eunuchs who are really not talented will naturally take the serious imperial examination, and they will only be shaded if they are worse.
As for the inspection system, Low Cheng decided to let it die out along with the Sipin Zhongzheng system.
After all, the imperial examination system covered farming, fortifications, criminal law, arithmetic and classics.
People who are really incapable can always find a way to advancement in the seven subjects that are involved in each other.
For the punishment of invention and creation, Low Cheng will also focus on the punishment of knighthood and materials, which will basically involve official positions.
Unless it is an achievement comparable to "Qi Min's Technique".
Gao Longzhi's manuscripts will always be copied by the hidden spies and sent to Luoyang for low Cheng to read.
It's a pity that I have been exposed to agricultural books in my next life, so I ended silently memorizing them, and I had to wait.
Low Cheng is now like a reader chasing more, waiting for the author to update, whenever he hears the report, Gao Longzhi travels with friends one day, although Low Cheng is as for sending blades.
But it will also warn this friend to delay Gao Longzhi's precious time.
As time went by, except for Gao Longzhi, who was devoted to his creation, almost all of my close friends knew how much Low Cheng valued me and this agricultural book.
There are also people who dare to disturb Gao Longzhi.
Those are all precedents, and Low Cheng determined a system of electing officials based on the imperial examination system and supplemented by the official system.
And then the court discussed with the ministers, and Low Cheng made his good intentions clear, because of my power, no one dared to pick a thorn in it.
So Low Cheng ordered someone to announce the system of electing officials to the heavens for everyone's deliberation.
The imperial examination system, which is the main way to elect officials, can win the support of several people by relying only on talent and the principle of being born.
But there are also few people who have raised opinions, they all feel that the eight-year exam is too long, and I hope that Low Cheng can shorten it as appropriate, and change it to a biennial exam, or even a year.
Low Cheng laughed at those opinions: If you want to be beautiful, you can pay for the officials.
Well, the king of the Great Low completely regards the treasury as his private property, which can be regarded as a different kind of single-minded public, after all, the public is all my private property.
No one suggests that the number of students admitted at a time should be a little larger, so that the exam can be taken once a year and there will be less opportunity for candidates to try and make mistakes.
But how could the stingy king agree, he really thought that the organization of the scientific expedition was to spend money.
When it comes to expenses, Low Cheng Zhen is really making a mistake.
There is no difficulty in opening the imperial examination itself for Low Cheng, the entire Eastern Wei Dynasty is a hall of words of our father and son, with swords and axes, who dares to know what to feel.
The real difficulty lies in the establishment of county schools, state schools, and the cost of promoting Mongolian schools in various places.
The stinginess of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was fake, and the harvest of the household registration was used to support the army, and the money and grain that were looted had long been used up.
The income tax revenue from the household registration in Hebei was also used to open a horse administration in Henan and Hebei.
It stands to reason that if you want to put it on hold after this year, you can live tightly, and you can squeeze out that expense.
However, the small defeat of the Western Expedition has caused a very small burden on this year's finances, and it only mobilized nearly 700,000 people to affect spring ploughing.
Moreover, because of the loss of 80,000 soldiers, the pension for his family is also a small expense.
That's still low Cheng ruthless, for these people and families who haven't escaped, they only guarantee that we will be starved to death.
In the eighth year of Taichang, on July 74, the Zhongshu Province issued a decree to officially abolish the four-grade Zhongzheng system and the inspection system, and the imperial examination system would be the main way to elect officials.
At the same time, the details of the imperial examination system and the content of the examination were made public.
There will be no Taichang to end the first imperial examination in a year.
For a time, all those who were literate were vying for books.
And Low Longzhi had already ordered people to complete the engraving and printing of various books related to the imperial examination, ending the printing production.
Low Cheng also put an end to my first means of improving my finances: book monopoly.
It's still divided into sections, there is one chapter before twelve o'clock at noon, and the remaining two chapters are in the evening.
