The Han civilization, or the Chinese civilization, is a terrifyingly large civilization, with an incredibly powerful ability to assimilate, and it also has an unparalleled inclusiveness.

There are pros and cons to such a civilization.

There are countless advantages and disadvantages.

For example, if the land changes owners, the former owner is conquered by the invaders.

The large and tolerant Chinese civilization will find a reasonable footnote in a very short period of time to help the conquerors provide a reasonable basis for ruling themselves and brainwash their own people.

For example, the sentence that was tampered with, the princes used the Yi ceremony to raze it, and if they entered China, they would be in China.

There is no mention of outsiders in this sentence, which is obviously correcting the bad habits of his own people.

However, it was tampered with, and two more words were added, which became Yi and entered China, and Huaxia provided a basis for Yi Di to rule China.

And whether this gang of Yidi who entered Huaxia or not regards themselves as Huaxia is only clear to those Yidi themselves.

Of course, these are things that happened more than a hundred years ago, and also things that happened more than a hundred years later.

Standing at this point in time, the Ming Dynasty occupies a dominant position, and China occupies a dominant position.

During this period, the Chinese civilization was still a transcendent existence compared to other civilizations.

Even if he was a human in two lifetimes, Xia Yuan still believed in the ideas of the sages of the Spring and Autumn Period. Without him, the king will be honored.

There is no need to use other methods to deal with the barbarians, either let the barbarians accept the sinicization and become a member of Huaxia, or carry out the barbarians.

Therefore, taking advantage of this period when Chinese civilization is still standing at the commanding heights, we will carry out dimensionality reduction strikes against other civilizations.

Forge an incomparably sharp sword from this terrifying civilization and use a sword technique called indoctrination.

In the name of indoctrination, to carry out cultural invasion and assimilation of foreign races, this is the best solution, and it is also what all dynasties have been doing.

But this matter cannot be completed overnight, and it needs to be done slowly.

Even if the so-called preferential treatment of the imperial examination is implemented, it is still a long time and a lot of work.

"Your Majesty, although it is written on the examination paper of the student's policy that the Yiren imperial examination is preferential, the student does not recommend that it be implemented accordingly.

Otherwise, it will be like what the elder said, it will inevitably attract criticism from all over the world, and there will definitely be a thing where he is obviously a Han person, but in order to enjoy the dividends of this imperial examination, he claims to be a Yiren. ”

Xia Yuan dared to say with a package ticket that this kind of thing of indiscriminately recognizing his ancestors would definitely happen, and adding a score to the college entrance examination in later generations would attract many people to change their household registration ethnicity, not to mention the preferential treatment of the imperial examination.

Being admitted to university may not necessarily have a good way out, which Xia Yuan has personally experienced.

But the imperial examination can be an official, which is also what Xia Yuan has personally experienced.

Although he hasn't really been an official yet.

But

Thank you for the invitation, you are in Daming, standing in the palace, talking with the emperor and the bigwigs in the court.

Isn't this more than being an official?

Zhu Youjiao's eyes showed a look of astonishment, and the ministers below also looked at each other.

You made your own suggestion to the imperial court, and the big guy sat here and listened to you talk a lot, but you came to a sentence, do you suggest your own suggestion?

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Hongzhi asked in a calm tone as much as possible, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"What the students mean is that they do not give preferential treatment to the Yi people, but to those remote areas where the Yi people exist."

"For example, Liangguang, Yunnan and Guizhou are located in remote areas, and there are many Yi people gathered."

Zhu Youzhu pondered for a while, and bowed his head slightly: "I know what Qing means, it is nothing more than to change the name, so as to avoid the occurrence of such incidental memberships, but these places are not all Yi people, even in the southwest and other areas with the most Yi people, Han people account for six or seven out of ten, like the southeast land, it is even more eight or nine out of ten." ”

In terms of reading, Yi people are certainly not as good as Han people, just as foreigners are certainly not as good as Chinese people in learning Chinese.

When this policy is promulgated, those who read the book will cheer, but the Yiren will not be able to touch any light.

How to do it or how to do it.

To be honest, if it is only good for Yiren to enjoy preferential treatment in the imperial examination, at least Zhu Youzhu can accept it, because the so-called preferential treatment in the imperial examination is actually not very strong.

As long as the semantics of the article are smooth, there is no digression, and there are no typos, it can be recorded as a child and a showman.

In other words, as long as you read books, read the Four Books and the Five Classics, and then can write articles, you can basically get in.

And this kind of preferential treatment is only at the level of Xiucai, and when it comes to lifting people, the level of Gongsheng is still the same as before.

According to the regulations of the dynasty, Xiucai can be exempted from taxes and servitude in his own family, and the taxes of people can be exempted from taxes.

Because the imperial court can hardly collect their taxes, seventy or eighty percent of the Yi people do not have household registration, how to collect them?

Therefore, as many talents as you love, you will produce as many talents.

Besides, how much can you give?

Don't look at the extremely low standard of admission, but for the Yi people, this is still an extremely difficult thing, after all, many of them can't even speak Chinese, let alone read and write.

Therefore, only Yi people are open, and Zhu Youzhang, the Ming Emperor, is acceptable, but if the preferential treatment of the imperial examination is implemented according to the region, it will not only be Yi people, but even Han people will be included.

The taxes in these areas are all dependent on these Han people, and when the policy is implemented, won't every family in these provinces have talents, and won't they even be able to collect taxes?

Although you can't collect much tax in a year.

Facing the emperor's concerns, Xia Yuan clenched his fist in his cuffs slightly, then took a deep breath and said loudly,

"If the imperial court promulgates such preferential treatment in the imperial examination, then the student's suggestion is that after this law is implemented, in those areas where this policy is implemented, the children and talents who will be admitted to the examination will only enjoy meritorious fame, and will not enjoy many privileges such as tax exemption and food exemption."

Hearing this proposal, Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, and the ministers below were all in an uproar

If Fang Cai's preferential treatment in the imperial examination only made them feel a little inappropriate, then this lack of privilege made them feel dizzy.

Let's ask, if there is no privilege to read a person, is it still called a reader?

Xia Yuan stood silently in the corner, he knew very well what his behavior belonged to at this moment--Tu Poor Dagger.

According to his thoughts, the system of the Ming Dynasty should have kept pace with the times a long time ago.

Many things have to be changed, to suppress, or even deprive the reader of his privileges, a stick to knock over too rough, then first on this soft knife.

There are more and more people who are reading, and there are more and more people enjoying privileges, and the resources of the state are simply not enough.

This situation was also experienced in later generations, but the way it was dealt with in later generations was that the price of college students gradually dropped as the number increased.

In the 80s, when college students were scarce, what was the future of college students? Assign work, assign houses, and even assign power.

What is the future of college students in the millennium, and even in a decade?

There is no future at all, okay.

But the Ming Dynasty has not changed, what it is like when it is less, and what it is like when it is more.

When the country was first founded, there were few scholars and few people enjoying privileges, and this kind of preferential treatment of scholars could win the hearts of the people, but there were more and more people enjoying privileges.

Of course, there are many reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and there are many reasons for being stolen by those Tartars, but no matter how many reasons there are, poverty is definitely an unavoidable joint for the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Why is it poor, because there are too many vassal kings who need to be supported by the imperial court, because there are too many official gentry who enjoy the so-called privileges of fame, they occupy a lot of wealth in the world, and they don't have to pay taxes.

Xia Yuan wants to change these, not because of any hatred for the rich, after all, he now belongs to the rich class, and has gone to the upper class, and the 10,000 yuan household is also a member of this who does not have to pay taxes.

So it is no exaggeration to say that he feels that he belongs to the country and the people, and has great righteousness.

Not only for themselves, but also for the world.

He has come to this era, and he will leave his descendants in the future, and even if he does not come, he does not want this land to be devastated and stained in more than a hundred years.

If there is an opportunity, it will be stopped, and if there is no opportunity, it will be stopped.

Thinking in his heart, Xia Yuan couldn't help but be moved by his noble sentiments.

I, Xia, am really a person who is for the country and the people, and has great righteousness in his heart.

After a period of distraction, Emperor Hongji felt as if he had grasped the point of this advice, and began to consider the pros and cons of the matter.

Only fame, not privileges.

If this is really done, and then it will be customized and promoted year after year, and the talents in these provinces will no longer be exempt from taxes.

That is to say, the contribution of the dynasty is the fame of the child's talent, and it is only the fame.

But the annual revenue of the treasury will add a large amount of taxes, and as long as this matter is customized, it will be the same every year.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi's breathing couldn't help but be a little short, and even his heartbeat began to speed up, and finally he couldn't help blurting out: "Qing is really a talent!" ”
