"It's nonsense, the imperial examination has opened up a ladder for poor students, but in your eyes, it is not enough to make the great cause strong?

In the eyes of King Wu, what can make the great cause strong depends on the tens of thousands of workers of His Royal Highness? Song Lian sneered, dissatisfied to the extreme.

"Since Master Song has spoken, is it you who is talking to this king?"

Song Lian glanced at the others, and when he saw that they were all bowing their heads, he said, "Yes!" ”

"Okay, let's get started!" Zhu Jun said with a smile: "There are many aspects that can make the great cause strong, and the imperial examination is one way, but it is not the only one!"

A thousand years ago, the imperial examination came into being, what is the essence?

The essence is to take the office for the imperial court, and the object of the office is not only the family valve, but also the children of the poor family at the bottom.

This view of the king, right? ”

Song Lian thought for a while, "These are all shallow truths, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?"

"The road to simplicity is that the descendants have changed from simplicity to complexity!" Zhu Jun said lightly: "But after the imperial examination came out, are there more readers?"

There are a lot, but there are many of those who are the children of the family, and they are easier to get into the office than before.

What is the proportion of children from poor families?

It wasn't until later that the family gate valve was eliminated, and there were really more scholars in the world.

But even so, it is still not easy for an ordinary family to support scholars.

Does Master Song know what makes the world really more people? ”

"Didn't you say it, the elimination of the gate valve is the fundamental reason, the family gate valve has knowledge and books, has the most fertile land, and one household has tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of tenants, comparable to the marquis of ten thousand households who split the soil and seal the king.

It's hard for them not to prosper! ”

"It seems that Master Song still hasn't understood!" Zhu Jun sighed, "The creation of the imperial examination has given everyone a hope, a hope that can lead to success, but this hope is too small.

How laborious is it for a family of three to farm the land every year to remove taxes, leave food rations, and support a student who is not engaged in production?

If there is a disaster year, the grain production will be reduced, and even people will not be able to eat, so how can we study?

There is also a cost to reading, and what is the cost of reading?

Please shackle the gentleman, write pen, ink, paper, inkstone, read the book, a thousand years ago a book was worth a lot, what about a book now? ”

Song Lian frowned, and the others were also talking about each other.

Li Yanxi smiled, he seemed to know what Zhu Jun was going to say.

The same is true for Fang Keqin.

"How do you compare the low productivity of a thousand years ago with today?" Song Lian said: "When you say this, isn't it Yin eating grain?"

In ancient times, the ancestors still drank blood, how do they know that their descendants have such a life? ”

If this king is not mistaken, the doctrine of the first line of Zhedong pursues the philosophy of history and believes that the Tao is in life, emphasizing the pursuit of reason through the study of history and the study of historical figures.

Now that Bachelor Song is talking about the past and the present, he is eating grain, isn't it contradicting himself and slapping himself in the mouth? ”

Song Lian frowned, Wei Guan and the others were secretly scolded in their hearts, this Zhu madman was really bad, and if he was not careful, he dug a big pit and waited for them here!

"Today's talk is about the imperial examination, isn't it a digression to say this?"

"This king analyzes the current situation from the imperial examination, how can he digress?" Zhu Jun teased: "Reason, is it true that Master Song only has the Tao in his eyes?" ”

You can say that again!

Li Yanxi and others all secretly applauded.

Fang Xiaozhi didn't say it, he had already become a diehard fan of Zhu Jun, Xie Jin fell into deep thought, to be honest, he had already been convinced by Zhu Jun, although he never said it, but he knew it very well in his heart.

"In the eyes of the old man, there is only righteousness, not crookedness!" Song Lian said.

"Oh, the fact is actually crooked in the eyes of Master Song, it seems that Master Song has been away from the people for too long, and he can't see the lives of the people!" Zhu Jun pointed to the people not far away, "Does Master Song know how much these people earn in a year, how much they spend every year, and how much they can spend on supporting their children's education?"

These are all problems that everyone has to face, not just empty talk.

Wendao Daxing was built on the imperial examination, and the imperial examination Daxing was after the gate valve was destroyed, and in the real sense, there were more readers, because the cost of reading became lower.

In the past, it was difficult for ordinary people to read books, and borrowing a book was like a treasure.

Nowadays, a bookstore has everything and thousands of books, making it easier for students to read.

In the past, a piece of paper was comparable to gold, so how could ordinary people afford it?

Let's not talk about ink, a good ink, how expensive it is, I'm afraid that those countrymen can't earn it in a year.

But even now, those students in remote areas do not have a good ink or a good pen, and they use branches to write on the sand.

The sages practiced calligraphy and dyed a vat of water black, but this kind of thing can't happen to ordinary students, because they can't afford it!

The prosperous era is still like this, but imagine how difficult it is for these people in troubled times! ”

Song Lian opened his mouth, how could he not know about this kind of thing?

"People have their own lives and are born different, but God is fair, giving them the hands and feet to work hard, the eyes to learn to read and write, and the mouth to debate.

As the saying goes, the son is not ugly to the mother, and the dog is not to be poor, His Royal Highness's words, in the eyes of the old man, are no less than the words of the resentful woman! ”

"I agree with the first half of your sentence, but in the second half of the sentence, this king disagrees and does not agree!" Zhu Jun said: "If a scholar wants to be popular, what does he rely on, the country, and all walks of life!"

If in a disaster year, the price of food is low, what about the scholars?

If this year, the weather is cold, the clothes are very expensive, and you are shy in your pocket, do you buy books or suffer from the cold?

If you are hungry and cold, do you buy firewood for heating and eat a full meal, or do you hold a book and starve to death in the house?

The most priority for ordinary people is to fill their stomachs, if their stomachs can't be filled, everything else is empty.

Once the common people don't have enough to eat, it will be a big mess. ”

"Off topic, what does this have to do with the imperial examination?" Song Lian said: "Today's discussion is about the imperial examination, and the topic is also from you, what does it mean that you take the lead in deviating from the topic?" ”

"Off topic?" Zhu Jun shook his head, "No, this king just extended the topic, and the imperial examination has never been a state, just a literati."

It is a good thing that there are many readers, but it is not a good thing for a reader to hold the sage book all his life! ”

"Ridiculous, the literature is prosperous, the world is prosperous, why is this not a good thing?" Song Lian said with some anger.

Not only him, but even everyone behind him looked at each other angrily!
