Chapter 262: Xingyang Zheng's Decision
The promulgation of Liu Tai's examination system could not help but surprise the local family.
Because the probation system has always been implemented, the sudden change of track naturally makes the local family feel a little unfamiliar.
As the news spread that the examination system would be held after the beginning of winter, it was soon noticed that the scope of the examination was selected from the "Book of Han" and the "Nine Chapters".
This is a year's notice in advance, in order to let all those who are interested in taking these two subjects be able to make up for these two subjects, otherwise what are you doing all the way to Yecheng?
It was precisely because Chu Yu passed on the news that these two books soon became hard to find.
However, the difficulty of finding a book did not last long, and the official immediately filled every county under Liu Tai's rule with the Book of Han and the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic.
The price is not cheap, if you want to buy the whole volume of "Hanshu", it will be about sixty gold, and "Nine Chapters" is cheaper and priced at six gold, if you want to buy these two directly, you need at least sixty-six gold.
However, in the military history camp of the government soldiers, any scholar and common people who were willing to come to study were allowed to copy the "Book of Han" or "Nine Chapters".
Each piece of paper costs a penny, and the pen and ink need to be carried by themselves to copy the "Book of Han" and "Nine Chapters" volumes.
However, if anyone damages the "Book of Han" and "Nine Chapters" that were copied as model scrolls, they must replace this book volume for the convenience of later generations, otherwise they will be disqualified when they report to the government military camp.
Naturally, for some family members, they naturally did not hesitate to pay for the "Book of Han" and "Nine Chapters".
Sixty-six gold, for them, this is not money, but it is just the cost of their own green house.
But for the children of poor families, even if there is a small room with a courtyard and a study, an old housekeeper who helps him take care of food affairs, a little maid who adds fragrance to his red sleeves, and a small donkey cart that goes out to travel, and a little interest in selling wine and having fun on a whim, the amount of 66 gold is indeed not less.
But if some families have the whole volume of "Hanshu" in them, maybe some families really have collections, but if they say that there are all volumes of "Hanshu" in the Hanmen family, it is too high to look at the Hanmen.
Even if the whole volume of the "Book of Han" in Liu Tai's hand was still when Wang Mi ransacked Luoyang, and then looted all kinds of books in Luoyang City and sent them to Qingzhou, Liu Tai really completed the whole volume of the "Book of Han".
There may be a few major volumes in the hands of the Hanmen, but it is unrealistic to say that all the chapters are available.
And most importantly, the addition of punctuation to my own version of the Book of Han and the Nine Chapters allows people to grasp the essence of the article more quickly, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and unify the ideas of the article.
All in all, because of the absolute advantage of the family in the economy, even if it seems to be a fair exam, if the country does not give the poor family a certain degree of help, then the poor family wants to compete with the family on the same stage, I am afraid it will be very difficult.
And this is still a cold door, Liu Tai hopes that those military histories can give the family a little stimulation, so it is even more necessary to give these military histories a certain degree of care in a certain aspect.
Therefore, Liu Tai proposed that the scope of the examination was only "Hanshu" and "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", because if other four books and five classics were to be added, the scope of the examination would be beyond the outline of military history.
You need to know that the family is completely different from the poor family, and the military history at the bottom, they have famous teachers, famous schools, and elders, and they have studied the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, and they have interacted with dignitaries.
If the subjects are not limited to these two things, then Liu Tai can be sure that when the time comes out of the exam, all of them will be from the family, and there will be no chance of military history from beginning to end.
Therefore, the "Book of Han" and "Nine Chapters" were designated as projects, and the very important reason was the military history that came out of the military, and they only came into contact with these two projects, which made it possible for them to compete with the Hanmen and the family.
It's like a small-town problem-solver, competing for "Chinese" and "Mathematics" often doesn't fall behind, but after adding English, it will definitely be easier to get a high score than not having financial conditions.
With the increasing frequency of independent enrollment, it will be more and more difficult for small-town questioners to enter prestigious schools by their own ability.
Because many test items that seem to be fair, but for economically unequal regions, there is no way to do it.
And you can't blame these prestigious schools, because the conditions they offer are the most generous conditions in their cognition.
But it never occurred to them that it was likely that some people were struggling to survive outside their eyes, and reading was the only way for them to change their fate.
And Liu Tai proposed that the "Book of Han" and "Nine Chapters" are like this, like the Four Books and Five Classics or something, doesn't Liu Tai know that these things are actually very good as exam materials?
But for the low-level military history, if Liu Tai proposes these subjects, then he will have to screen out military history from the exam, and he will only be admitted to the family at that time.
Another reason is the difficulty of spreading out basic books.
Originally, there were government soldiers in every region, from government soldiers to war soldiers, basically they all needed to pass the examination of "Han Shu" and "Nine Chapters", so the area under Liu Tai's jurisdiction, as long as there were government soldiers, there were these books.
All you need to do is prepare blank sheets of paper everywhere and let the students who volunteer to copy them copy it!
Local scholars or poor families, after knowing the scope of the exam, can quickly find the textbook, as for copying, this thing wants to remember that it is to be copied, which is what is it for the scholars who want to be assessed a year later!
All in all, the matter has gone so smoothly that all those who feel that they have mastered the word and learned arithmetic are going to give it a try.
Even if you can't, if you're lucky enough to get a few questions right, and then you're selected!
In any case, the entire family north of the Yellow River, the Hanmen, or the military history, have devoted themselves to hard study.
At this time, even if the family knew that the examination system that Liu Tai came up with was a confrontation with the examination system that he and others admired, these families really didn't dare to stand up and say no to Liu Tai.
After all, this is a troubled time, not a prosperous era of peace.
For Liu Tai, an undefeated general who is armed with soldiers and kills himself, Zu Ti has taken a break after seeing it, isn't the family worried about it?
The three great generals of the Han Dynasty that they originally supported, Shi Le was killed, and Liu Yao was captured, who else can they nominate now?
For the family, they must have a leader, and the family will gather behind this leader to do something.
But if this family is allowed to go to the battlefield by itself, to be honest, very few families will do this.
Because the risk is too great, and the return is too low, after all, even if the Xiongnu are in power, they are also reused, Liu Tai restricts, and they survive.
But if you are directly involved in the struggle for hegemony and want to become a force on one side of the separatism, you must be prepared to die the whole family.
Therefore, in the face of Liu Tai's examination system, the Hebei families are more just trying to find suitable famous teachers, trying to get together the required teaching materials, and trying to find Yang Man, Chu Yi and others to take a look, maybe they will bring their sons with them during the exam!
All in all, after finding that the Maison has no way to change the rules, it will adapt to the rules at a very fast speed, to find loopholes in the rules, so that they can survive smoothly.
Of course, in this process, such as the Wang family who studied the "Book of Changes", the Zheng family of the "Book of Changes", the Kong family of the "Ancient Wen Shangshu", the Zheng family of "Mao Shi", the Zheng family of "Zhou Guan" and "The Book of Rites", the Du family of "Spring and Autumn Zuo Chuan", and the Fu family...... and other families, they also suddenly found that the scriptures inherited by their families were completely useless.
Because the current Liu Tai only admires the "Book of Han", which tells the history of the Han family, and the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", which advocates mathematics, this inevitably makes them feel afraid.
They wanted to rebel very much, but they couldn't organize it at all, compared to these scriptures inherited by their family, the arithmetic of "Hanshu" and "Nine Chapters" was a relatively fair choice for the majority of military history and the children of the Han family.
And without the support of a wider range of students, they will not be able to make a fuss at all.
After all, this is a troubled time, they don't even have a few days of stable life, if the family relies on the rules, it is indeed very powerful, but as long as there are people who can break the rules, the family is extremely vulnerable.
Of course, the turmoil in Liu Tai's territory did not have much impact.
After all, if you don't want to be an official, it's good to choose to continue to be a hermit, as long as it's a world that talks about rules, you can't cut the guy who lies flat after all.
But as long as these families still want to be officials, then they will definitely not miss this opportunity.
After all, they also know that now that Liu Tai's power has become a force, if they want to return to Liu Tai's core, they must be assessed step by step.
And for the Maison, this is not at least the worst outcome.
Liu Tai insisted on occupying all the official positions and not giving them any profits, which was a desperate thing for them.
Of course, this may not be much better, at least in their opinion, those poor men will be their biggest competitors, stealing the official positions that belong to them.
As for military history and even mud legs, who are they? The family doesn't know them anyway.
But this kind of thing is naturally impossible to hide from Xingyang, which has close exchanges with each other.
Even whether it is Zu Ti or Liu Tai, they all have the intention of using Xingyang and Jijun as a window for communication between the two sides, and can observe the changes on the other side.
Therefore, commanders such as Li Ju soon found out about Liu Tai's promotion of the examination system.
However, this kind of atmosphere has just been blowing, but the scholars in Xingyang, especially the Zheng family in Xingyang, began to preach,
"If you don't have a good job of employing people, you can only appoint and dismiss officials after only taking the "Book of Han" and "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", isn't this meritocracy.
Even if you gain a profit for a while, you will inevitably lose your virtue, and you will inevitably have endless disasters! ”
Of course, Xingyang Zheng's external propaganda is such propaganda, but for Zheng Luo, a child of his own generation, he immediately let him return home to retreat and study hard.
Like what "Book of Han" full set of 800,000 words for me to memorize, even if the questions on "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" can't be solved, they will be memorized for me.
Give it to me until the winter, you must master this knowledge in your chest, and then go to Yecheng to take the exam, and leave it in the Liu family for me.
To be honest, Zheng Luo really wanted to resist, but watching his father tearfully persuade himself, Zheng Luo really couldn't say a word.
What is called a family, that is, you usually do what you want, but when the family needs you, even if you want your life, for the survival of the family, you must take out your own life.
Now that Liu Tai has occupied the land of Hebei, for many families, it is too late for them to bet on Liu Tai, but being late does not mean that they should not hurry up!
The Zheng family in Xingyang is in Xingyang, which happens to be a special zone on both sides of the Yellow River, so he understands the situation better than other families.
Because they can easily judge that Liu Tai is recuperating and saving food for the next wave of southward travel.
After all, the waterway of the Yellow River was blocked by Liu Tai's fleet for half a year, and it was too simple for Liu Tai to fight south.
Therefore, as a family, the Zheng family in Xingyang will always make a wise choice, and it is Li Ju's decision to surrender when Liu Tai calls him in the future.
But he arranged for his son to go over first, and if Xingyang was beaten down in the future, he Xingyang Zheng would have a way out in the end.
"Daddy, are you really here?!" Zheng Luo looked at the 800,000-word "Book of Han" piled up in front of him, but he was stunned and said, "This is the Book of Han, the Book of Han!" Do you really want me to memorize it!? ”
"It's basic!" When the Zheng family heard Zheng Luo's words, they continued with a look of "I am not a demon",
"Only Hanshu is indeed a bit unsafe, but these textbooks on the market, who wants to be able to take the exam can't memorize them, which completely highlights your talent and heritage as Xingyang Zheng......
Pregnant!
You remember to memorize and write down Zheng Langzhong's notes (Zheng Hun's diary) and Zheng Sinong's recital (Xingyang Zheng has produced several big Sinongs).
Now Liu Tai is not going south because the grain and grass are limited, he should be recuperating and accumulating grain, and he is a master of farming.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand farming, there are high-level leaders of your ancestors, and you are dedicated to learning, how can others compare with you.
When you are selected by Liu Tai, you will concentrate on farming, if Liu Tai can really win the world in the future, you will be a big farmer! ”
"Father, do you think it is possible for Liu Tai to win the world?" Zheng Luo couldn't help but ask when he heard the words of the Zheng family head.
The head of the Zheng family couldn't help but sigh and said, "I don't know, if my eyes can see through the future, I don't need to let you go to the Han exam."
But now isn't this Liu family up again, then Liu Bei was Cao Cao who boiled him for decades before he boiled Liu Bei to death.
If there was no Cao Wei at the end of the Han Dynasty, maybe this Han family would have been revived in the hands of Liu Bei!
But now in the Jin Dynasty, it's easy to say that the ancestral assassin history is still there, but if the ancestral assassin history falls, do you think Sima Rui can survive Liu Tai, who killed all the way?! In this world, maybe the surname Liu will be again!
So, take this opportunity to go to Hebei, no matter what the world is, at least our Zheng family has one more way out!
Luo'er, it's all for the survival of the family! ”
