14 Weakened Grace Order
If you want to be an official, you must obey the arrangement; But when the brothers and sons are both officials, they may face the risk that someone will be released; It is very likely that the family will be split into two families.
This law seems to be a bit disrespectful.
But Jia Lian is right when you think about it, if you want to be an official, this is the condition you must accept, there is nothing unfair or unfair.
The harsher the officials, the fairer they are to the people, after all, being an official in this territory is a superior profession!
In the early Ming Dynasty, he was so harsh on scholars and doctors, and he had to face the risk of losing his head every day, but did it stop people's enthusiasm to become officials?
Apparently not!
Therefore, there is no need for Jia Lian to complain for the people who are officials. Although he was about to become an official, he understood that this was the price he had to pay.
The most powerful thing about this law is not here, but its consequences.
In this era, transportation was inconvenient and information was not developed. This family is in a different place, and it is difficult to get together again.
It's easy to be together as a family, but it's not easy to get together again when you're separated. Because people who are parents naturally need to consider their own interests.
Isn't this a weakened version of the Tui En Order?
It's a good way to maintain imperial power!
"But how is it so useless?"
Jia Lian doesn't understand that such a good method is useless, and anyone who is an emperor will support this law if he has a brain.
Zhang Hu saw that Jia Lian seemed to have thought clearly, so he said.
"Because there are few officials in Beijing who have the same subject, teachers, friends, relatives and friends! If you can't have a private house, then live in the mansion of relatives and friends! It's more convenient for everyone to expand their network! ”
Also, this is tantamount to encouraging everyone to expand other relationships in disguise.
In this way, although the separation of the family makes the family unable to advance and retreat together, it does not delay the officials and the same department.
Jia Yu, who had been listening for a long time, came over in order to eat a bite, grabbed Jia Lian's pastries and competed, and did not forget to add.
"In addition, there are foreign businessmen who have made it to Beijing, and they can't find a backer in Beijing, so their original backer relationship has become their backer in Beijing!"
Speaking of this, Jia Yu was a little envious.
"If the business can be done in the capital, it is naturally rich and rich; Such a businessman is not capable of being able to do this with the governor, and not with the political envoys; Even if it leads to the platform, it is not a layer of meaning; ”
Jia Yu ate Jia Lian's mung bean cake in two bites, and Jia Yu continued with a look of reminiscence.
"The luxury of the Jingzhong Annex, built by such a wealthy man, is also charming!"
Looking at Jia Yu's unproductive appearance, Zhang Hu understood that this was jealous that no one was looking for an umbrella to find him.
"Hmph, but in the future, this kind of thing will have to change a little."
Uncle named the subject, and Jia Lian continued.
"So what Uncle means is that this law is going to be restarted!"
Zhang Hu nodded.
"It's not a restart, this ancestral calendar was already there, but it wasn't so strict before."
Seeing Jia Yu like this, Zhang Erhe couldn't bear it, and also pushed the tea forward, and then continued to say to Jia Lian.
"But in the future, foreign officials who will report to Beijing for work, no matter where you live or who you live in, you will register your residence; The Emperor's decree will also go straight to the place of registration, you can see what that means, child! ”
Jia Lian thought about it, this means that in the past, although everyone knew about your internal and external collusion, they were all secretly poked and poked under the table, and now the emperor wants to bring this matter to the table, see if you still dare to move around in private.
It won't disappear immediately, but it's somewhat taboo.
Jia Lian didn't know if he was thinking right, so he replied.
It means that no matter where these foreign officials live, they can't report their residence indiscriminately! Because it's going to implicate a friend! ”
Zhang Hu nodded in approval, but in fact, this matter was far from being as simple as Jia Lian thought.
There is no point in preventing officials from colluding in private, because as long as they need it, they will always find a way to communicate with them.
Life will find a way to find an outlet for itself, not to mention the political future of being an official.
But what Jia Lian said is also one of the meanings, Zhang Hu added.
"The most important meaning of this is that if a law is valued, it represents the rise of a branch of power, and the existing authority cannot be divided, so it is natural to create new authority!"
Master Zhang explained the meaning to Jia Lian, and he didn't care whether Jia Lian understood it or not, and continued.
"When the law started, it was the most stringent, if the foreign officials not only couldn't report their residences indiscriminately, in order not to make trouble for their relatives and friends, they could only find their own ways to find a place to live!"
This can really cause a bit of confusion. Jia Lian asked in order to understand the content of the future work.
"You can't have a private house, you can't live in relatives and friends, so where do they live!"
That's all there is to the capital.
Qinglou is obviously not suitable, although the girls raised by Qinglou in this era are equivalent to stars in modern society, and those who are famous, popular and sought after can also praise "everyone"!
But it is obviously not appropriate for an official to live here.
Of course, it's not that they don't sell the women in the Qinglou, but that they don't sell to ordinary people. They were sold to the powerful and gentry. It is not a physical service that is sold, but an emotional service.
It's to fall in love with you.
The official is indeed their main customer, but they can't get it on the surface.
In this era, the emphasis is on marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, and everyone who marries into the door is supported by the strength of their mother's family, and everyone is not good-looking, and their temperament is not good.
The official can't divorce his wife from such a wife, after all, he still needs the support of the Yue family, so the Qinglou has a market.
Naturally, the officials who are released from abroad dare not live here, who knows which Beijing official will be offended.
The guest house is not suitable, the good inn is not cheap, the small inn is inconvenient, the yard is not clean, and the single room is too complicated.
Jia Lian felt for a while that the emperor was embarrassed for everyone.
Who knows, Jia Yu can see through it.
"Live in the temple!"
Jia Yu interjected.
"The temple is in line with the rules, and there is a comfortable ground!"
"Live in a temple?"
Jia Lian had some doubts for a while, but it was normal to think about it.
The temple and other boundaries are already quite related to the back garden of the mansion gate, and the lady of the inner house believes in something, and it is more convenient for the monks to enter and exit the mansion door than others.
As a result, the temple became a place for ad hoc lawsuits.
Ordinary people who have any lawsuits will ask the monk, and the monk also has a relationship to find those who have the right or relevant wives.
Wang Xifeng ended up miserable because of the monk's lawsuit!
The squire landlord found the pure old nun of Shuiyue Nunnery, and then through the relationship between Wang Xifeng, who climbed through the old nun, also laid the groundwork for her miserable end.
It can be seen that the more incense is in the peak of the temple, it relies on the scattered silver of simple ordinary pilgrims. They must have their own way to heaven.
Jia Lian still remembers that in his previous life, behind a small temple of Caihu Palace in his hometown was a bureau chief, and it cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build a small temple.
The extravagant temple is even more remarkable.
For ordinary people, a long and a director is not heavenly.
In this way, this temple must be like this in the Qing Dynasty, so for so many years, I am afraid that they have become the microphone of the squires and landlords, and the merchants and magnates have been strong.
