Chapter 40 Xiucai is very valuable
"In the world, there are only dead saints, no living saints!"
The Celestial Serpent King sneered, "Silly Xiucai, you don't have to go to extremes. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Back then, I had the privilege of listening to Washeng's sermon. Wa Sheng said that there are countless overseas islands, and all of them are wild places, and in the wilderness, life is born. Once the Middle-earth people fell and were invaded by foreign tribes, it was a place of escape. If you fail in the imperial examination, you have no way out, you can go overseas and open up a new paradise overseas. ”
"Anyway, if you fail the imperial examination, you can't rebel, so why not go overseas!" Liu Xiu said calmly.
The imperial examination is not only a way to select talents, but also a way to restrict talents.
Fame is a kind of restraint on talents in the imperial court.
Xiucai, lifting people, Jinshi, Hanlin, etc., one by one, is the certificate of being an official,
In reality, ordinary people, if they want to be promoted, they must take the imperial examination, from the lowest child, to show talent, raise people, and enter the ranks.
And the high official position must be Hanlin to be able to be it.
Ordinary people will never be able to become officials if they do not start through the imperial examination and do not gain fame. Unless it's ...... Rebel.
It is impossible for ordinary civilians to test their fame and become officials, at most, to be prime ministers, princes, and emperors, this is something determined by the imperial court system.
But once the rebellion is made, the so-called fetters of fame will no longer exist.
Liu Bang is just a gangster, if he is ruling the world, he has no fame, he is just a small official, and he will be like this all his life; but once he is in troubled times, once the rebellion is successful, he will become the emperor, and the so-called fame bondage does not exist at all.
Zhu Chongba is just a monk, he has no fame, and he seems to be destined to be a small person, but when the troubled times came, he turned into a dragon in one fell swoop and became an emperor, and the so-called fame shackles did not exist.
Boom Boom!
With the realization of the way of fame, it is not only a ladder to heaven, but also a way of bondage.
Liu Xiu only felt that a bottleneck in his heart was gradually broken, and the book qi up and down his body was condensed, changing, and undergoing a violent transformation, and the formless and qualitative book qi seemed to have undergone a qualitative change, breaking the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and becoming condensed.
Click, click, click!
The cultivation of the third realm of Confucianism has taken a half-step forward and achieved a half-step Confucianism.
Half-step Confucianism, between Confucianism and Confucianism,
This is only a half-step, but it is a big step for the cultivation of Wendao.
"Not bad, not bad!" said the Celestial Snake King with a smile, "At the age of thirteen, he has achieved a half-step Confucian." Such achievements, even in the Middle Ages, when there were many saints and literature and Taoism were at their peak, were extremely rare. If it were at your speed, you might be able to achieve the Great Confucian realm before the weak crown!"
Liu Xiu did not have a trace of joy, but showed a deep sadness.
"I vaguely felt what the way of a saint is?"
"The way of a saint is a path of sorrow, a path of despair. The more I became stronger, the more I felt the sorrow of a saint! The path of a saint is to constantly perceive the changes of humanity, and from the changes of humanity, I have realized the strength. The more profound the understanding, the stronger the combat effectiveness, and the more advanced and profound!"
"The king thinks of ten years, the minister thinks of only a hundred years, and only the saint thinks of a thousand years. The saints are strong only because they are many ahead of the times, and the sad one is that if he is too ahead, he will not be understood by everyone and will be destined to be a loner!"
"Five hundred years before a saint was born. Just because every 500 years, the luck of the human race will decline to the extreme, and it is necessary for a saint to be born, educate sentient beings, and rekindle the fire of luck! The way of a saint is to use his body as a candle to illuminate the turbid world and open up the wisdom of the common people; the way of a saint is to use himself as a sacrifice to sacrifice to the way of heaven to make up for the lack of heaven. ”
"I wish there would never be a saint in the world!"
............
The clock was ticking, and in the blink of an eye, July had arrived.
The time for the scientific expedition is gradually approaching.
In today's era, the scientific examination is divided into six major examinations, such as the county examination, the state examination, the hospital examination, the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination. Among them, only those who pass the county examination, the state examination, and the college examination are all qualified to be called Xiucai.
The gold content of Xiucai is still very high.
Among the three subjects, only those who pass the first two subjects are eligible to be called children.
If you fail a single subject, you are not worthy of being a reader.
And these first three exams are brushing off a large number of people.
After passing three exams, he was made a showman. Xiucai is divided into three levels, and the students are divided into three levels: proliferation, proliferation, and epiphyticism.
He is an excellent student, with a living allowance and a certain amount of money and food;
hyperplasia, which is a middle student, without a living allowance;
Episthetes come in through the back door, mostly second-generation people with backgrounds, or children of wealthy businessmen.
Xiucai's status is very high, don't look down on Xiucai, there are privileges such as exemption from errands, not kneeling in the county, and not being punished casually. These privileges, which may seem inconspicuous, are actually extremely important, which means that the reader has the qualifications to be a human being.
The common people, to put it bluntly, are pigs and sheep in captivity in the imperial court, ready to be slaughtered at any time.
is the so-called county order that broke the door, and the order Yin who destroyed the door. Not to mention these high-ranking officials, they are some low-ranking officials, who use some privileges to perform simple operations in conscription and taxation, which can kill a family and achieve annihilation.
Before, Wang Shuyi was just a small official who did not enter the stream, but he almost killed his mother-in-law.
And becoming a talent means that he has transformed from a pig and a sheep to a person, and has the qualifications to be a man.
The so-called county lord may cherish the people, but this kind of cherishing is better like the farmer's love for cattle and sheep, and the love for the fields and crops. The county magistrate will not talk about human rights, equality, and reason with the grass people, just like ****** can't be reasonable with pigs.
But he has become a showman, and he is in the same class as the county master, so he can be reasonable and have the right to speak.
This world will deceive you, but only fame will never deceive you. As long as you become a showman, the elder of the sect will not dare to difficult you, the squire will not dare to difficult you, the junior officials will not dare to difficult you, and the officials will not dare to difficult you, even the county lord will give face.
If you don't become a showman, just a grass person, just like a weed on the side of the road, anyone can step forward and step on a few feet; but after becoming a showman, the sect elder will give you face, the officials will not exploit you, the officials will not dare to insert charges at will, and the county magistrate will also talk to you on an equal footing.
To put it simply, if you become a showman, you have the qualifications to be a person and have the right to speak; if you don't become a showman, you are just a cow or a sheep, and you are just slaughtered.
With the fame of talent and fame, there is the power to resist the bureaucracy.
Bureaucrats can oppress the common people, but they seldom oppress the talented and the scholars.
When the county magistrate sees someone getting rich, he will immediately place a certain charge, detain him in prison, plunder the people's property, and no one will pay attention to the grievances; Even if they want to pay donations, they come to negotiate with each other, compromise with each other, and rarely come forward directly and kill them with a knife.
In short, with the fame of talent and fame, there is the qualification to be a man.
Of course, Xiucai's fame is not enough to be an official. Many Xiucai failed to go further in fame and could only return to their hometowns to make a living by teaching and other methods. These scholars, who were not financially wealthy, but whose social status was slightly higher than that of the commoners, were called poor scholars. It seems that it is very hard to say that Xiucai.
In fact, Liu Xiu's opinion is that Xiucai is still very happy.
As a showman, he is not happy, and he can only be said to be too wasteful.
Xiucai is not enough to be an official, that is, he can't be a high-grade official, but he can be a small official without a grade, a small official such as a history and a secretary. These small officials, who have no rank, are not registered in the official roster of the imperial court, but they can only be on the list, which is equivalent to the secretary of the county magistrate, the deputy director of the county public security bureau, etc., and they are also the tyrants of the county.
Xiucai has all kinds of privileges, as long as he is careful and knows how to run the industry, and has a good relationship, he can at least mix with the rich peasant class, and even upgrade to the landlord class.
If it is too bad, mixed with the middle peasant class, the poor peasant class, it can only be said that it is too wasteful.
"I want to be a showman!"
Liu Xiu said to himself firmly.
