Chapter 28: Devoted to the sake of his children
Long night, candles lit in the study, and Zhen Zhiwen thought about the future of the Zhen family behind the desk.
The Zhen family was also a prestigious family.
It's a pity that there have been no scholars for several generations.
The scholar he is talking about here is a scholar who has been selected and can be exempted from paying taxes.
Even if he is a candidate, as long as he has fame, the huge industry in the family can be turned around.
Although Brother Rong in the second room was admitted to Xiucai, how much field tax is exempted from Xiucai?
The second and fifth are not in the climate, and no matter how good the third sister is, it is just a girl's family.
If she hadn't been greedy for her bride price and left the third child behind, the family would not have fallen into such a field.
If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?
But who would have expected that the third sister would be able to pass the female officer examination!
married, widowed, and became an official...... It's her husband's family's taxes that are exempt, not her mother's family!
It was easy to confess the fourth brother who was successful, and he thought that he could be exempted from forced labor and taxes, but he died inexplicably on the way to office.
Without relatives who are officials, although the Zhen family is rich, it is not as good as before in many things.
The generation of Hu's father-in-law can still hire a palace maid as a housewife for his son, but when he arrives at the eldest son of the Hu family, he has to find a daughter of a Xiucai family to be the clan wife.
Counting the side branches in the clan, there are 24 men in the "Zhi" generation of the Yunyang Zhen family.
Only Zhen Zhixiang, who was in the fourth room of the patriarch's family, was singled out.
Zhen Ying is the kind of Wenqu star in the end, if she teaches it well, she may not be able to get ahead.
It's just a mute.
Otherwise, even if she is a woman, as long as she is promising, she can still hold up the lintel of the Zhen family!
Zhen Zhiwen has been in business for many years, and later worked for King Wu, and occasionally dealt with high-ranking officials and nobles, and his vision is very comparable.
The Taizu of this dynasty advocated equality between men and women, and princesses and princes were treated the same. Enlightened at the age of five, he went to study in the south study room at the age of seven, and passed the big examination at the age of fourteen.
Today's holy sister, Princess Lantian, has been wise since she was a child, and when she was in the boudoir, she helped the queen to assist in the sixth palace.
The other princesses, one counts as one, and they are all ruthless characters who don't let their eyebrows go.
They were all frightened by their aunt, Princess Wan'an's relatives.
If the prince is not in the climate, just send a fief.
And the princess, picking up and picking, can still get married.
The more beautiful she is, the more powerful the princess of her grandfather's family has to fight.
At Royal, girls are a sought-after resource.
Unlike the princes who are destined to lose money, even if they are not capable, the princesses can still bring enough benefits to this dynasty from marriage.
Of course, some princesses are born different.
Princess Lantian married young, and she was also married to a child of a family, but she was a concubine personally selected at the Qionglin banquet.
At that time, Tian Miao was on the top, and there was a person who was born in five surnames and seven families, and the champion of the Li family in Longxi was pressing.
With Li Zhengzhuyu in front, no one paid attention to the shy Tanhualang.
Only Princess Lantian was as wise as a torch, and she asked for the holy decree of marriage that night.
After that, Princess Lantian's "Wangfu" was witnessed by the people.
Tian Tanhua served as the editor of the Hanlin Academy for two years, and wrote the book "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment", which was respected by the world.
The emperor rewarded him and reassigned him to the Ministry of Rites as a left waiter.
Although Tian Miao's background is not as good as the five surnames and seven families, in the end, he is also from a family, and he is like a fish in water in the Ministry of Rites, which is full of families.
Three years later, due to the fraud case in the imperial examination, the former Shangshu Luren of the Ministry of Rites was demoted.
At this time, the horse master, that is, Tian Miao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, presented the female official system in the harem formulated with the princess, and successfully competed for the Ministry of Rites.
At this time, Princess Lantian's big game of chess was revealed.
In the spring of this year, news came from the Wu Palace, and the selection of female officials was devolved from Beijing to various counties.
The vassal kings of various places will also follow the example of the palace and appoint female officials.
The female official is modeled after the official system of the imperial court, and because she is in the harem, she is called the palace system.
If the palace chooses female officials, it is called the government system.
There are six departments in the court, and there are six bureaus in the palace, corresponding to the criminal work of the officials, the palace and the food, the ceremony, the ceremony, the service, the service.
In addition, another one palace was set up to supervise the six bureaus.
The six bureaus and one division are under the supervision of the queen, and the first batch of female officials are the unfavored Zongji.
Female officials go back and forth between the court and the previous court, and are the queen's right-hand men.
Princess Lantian was even more indispensable and served as the first Shang Gong.
When the princess leaves office, the various rules and regulations of the female official system have become formalized, and with regulations, the recruitment can be expanded.
The selection began with Zongji and spread to the official family.
This group of female officials from official families come from the families of officials at all levels.
Most of them are widows who refuse to remarry, and poor women who can't afford to pay a dowry.
Some are proficient in general affairs, some are proficient in female workers, and some are outstanding in martial arts......
In addition, they assisted in changing the old laws, revising medical books, and cultivating good breeds...... All kinds of achievements are worthy of men.
As a result, the selection of female officials became more and more vigorous, until this year, even the daughters of ordinary families had a chance.
It is now early spring, and Zhen Zhiwen hurried home after the holiday without even confiscating the surplus food, just to let a few girls temporarily hold on to their feet and strive to catch up with next year's college exam!
His own sister, married to a tuberculosis ghost, died in the past, kept filial piety for three years, and was widowed for six years...... It all hits the nail on the head.
is also the daughter of the Zhen family, don't those little ones have more chances?
Thinking of this, Zhen Zhiwen's mind suddenly lit up!
If her daughter can be admitted to the female official, she doesn't want to be rich and expensive, so it's a way out!
Learn to become a literary and martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family.
At the end of the universe is the establishment, and the female officials in the establishment, birth, old age, sickness and death, are all taken care of by the inner court.
If a girl can be a female official in high school, although she does not have the majesty of the men's Donghuamen roll call, she also has the honor of "Jade Face and Flower Appearance Female Official" at the Qionglin Banquet.
I have no children under my knees, work hard for half my life, and make wedding dresses for the younger generations of the family, but it is actually nothing.
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, others bully me and it's hard to support my orphan girl, and I practice it wantonly.
What's the use of leaving money? Sifang's father is an official and his mother is very rich, but Zhen Ying has lived in the past eight years since she was born?
If you don't plan again, if you have three longs and two shorts, do you want to watch your daughter being eaten out under Jiuquan?
Recruitment? Which good man is willing to be a son-in-law?
Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time. How did the county order of Na'an make a fortune, in Yunyang City, who doesn't know? Whether the daughter is married to a human or a ghost, who can say for sure?
Zhen Zhiwen is afraid. My wife is a little gateway daughter who doesn't like to make trouble, and her uncle's family is out of town, and something really happened, can you expect it?
Merchants go south and north, accustomed to seeing the sinister hearts of people, knowing that the world is hot and cold, rather than counting on others, it is better to support their own family first.
He didn't know that his painstaking plan happened to cater to the two sisters Zhen Lian and Zhen Ying, and the planned way out.
