Chapter 1169 The Way
On the evening of the third day of the fifth month, Ka Xu and more than ten followers stayed at Guandu Post in Zhongmu County.
As an aquatic and land hub, Guandu Post has a large regulation and is reported to be rebuilt with an abandoned manor.
Before entering the station, Ka Xu looked at the station with blue bricks and black tiles, and Xi was very proud.
It can be seen that the original owner cherished the manor very much. Although it was not big enough, it really cost a lot, but after the war broke out, he still had no choice but to give up.
Perhaps there is a more miserable possibility that the owner of the manor family is dead, after all, Xingyang was once a tug-of-war place for the generals and the Hungarians.
After feeling a little, Bian Xu entered the inn, but there were only two rooms left. So he lived in one by himself, and the other dozen people squeezed into one room.
After everything was cleaned up, I went to the jujube tree in the yard to have a meal.
There is a dining room at the inn, but it is being occupied by a group of people drinking and drinking. Perhaps because of the excessive drinking, the sound is a bit loud, and Ka Xu can hear it clearly.
"Daoji used to have to take a arch, rifle and stick, but he didn't expect to try to understand the two sutras. It was so strange." Someone said with his tongue wide.
"The Book of Rites is not difficult, I read it when I was a child." The person who was called "Daoji" smiled and said, "Have you used a new method when I heard the scriptures?" Someone asked again.
"Yes." Daoji said: "Two years ago, the first time I tried the sutras in Taixue. At that time, I chose the Zuo Zhuan. There were twenty questions in total. It is said that it was the method of test sutras that the emperor appointed. Ten questions were called 'Postal Sutra', and ten questions were called 'Mo Yi'. If you answer six questions, you can be called 'Disciples'."
The so-called "post scripture" is actually filling in the blanks, that is, picking a paragraph at will to allow you to fill in the gaps.
"Mo Yi" requires you to explain your understanding of the original text.
"However, this time I tried the scriptures, I didn't answer many questions correctly and could make up for the official position." Daoji said again: "In fact, it depends on how many officials the imperial court selects. Starting from the people who answer the most correctly, one by one, I will choose one by one. This time, the Imperial Academy has selected a total of sixteen people, which is not a large number."
"No matter how many questions these sixteen people answered correctly?"
"How can there be such a cheap thing?" Daoji laughed and said, "Mo Yi must at least answer six questions correctly. As far as I know, the sixteenth place is to answer eight questions correctly, but it's up to him."
"I see."
"But just a few dozen people tried the scriptures and sixteen officials were selected."
"There are sixteen official positions, literary anecdotes are good, but the county doctor and county doctor are not very good."
"Daoji, this guy looks down on the county and county, you should beat him up."
"Haha. Jingshi County is in Xingyang, only a few dozen miles away from Zhongmu. It can be said that he is at home calmly. Daoji, a doctor in Zhongmu County, is actually good, and it is much better than traveling far away."
"You are very good." Jing Daoji laughed and said, "I have a lot of spare time when I am a doctoral professor in the county. I have already started to review the Mao Shi and try to understand the Three Classics in two years."
Tai students are a relatively special group.
When you first enter the school, you will be a "sponsor" and after two years, you will be a "disciple" and after two years, you will be able to become a new official. But even if you become an official, they will still be a good student. After two years of being an official, you can take the on-the-job exam and pass the three classics.
However, Fei Tai students did not have such good things. Even if he had become an official, he could not test the scriptures one by one. To be precise, martial students could also test the scriptures. But for now, not everyone can do it, and they need to be approved by the emperor.
The group of people drank red in the inside and spit out, and Bian Xu was extremely surprised when he heard it.
He could see that the people who were drinking at the inn were not of high status, and most of them did not have any family status.
It was just a tyrant in the countryside, and only the Jing family's son might be a gentry.
But none of these matters. What is important is that students in the Taishou can become officials?
This path exists theoretically and has existed since the Cao Wei period, but very few people have truly learned this path and adopted it as a step forward.
The Shaoliang Dynasty seemed different. Not only did it grant sixteen official positions in one go, but it also wanted to form customizations, which was very "terrible".
To form customization and have tradition, it is a serious way.
I will be tried every two years and be awarded a batch of officials. Over time, I can't go back.
The key is to read the results of the trials and reduce the discretion of officials of the Ministry of Personnel. In this way, the Minister of Personnel,
The power of Shangshu to the left and right Pushe has become smaller, because the choice of some officials cannot be decided by them in one sentence.
They were a martial student in the past, but now they are Tai student, and the changes are huge, so Bian Xu almost didn't recognize the Shaoliang Dynasty, which was born in the south of the Yangtze River, seemed to be extremely huge. However, in the eyes of northerners, the Tai student became an official many years ago, and the formation of customization was also progressing step by step. They did not think the changes were too drastically when they were boiling frogs in warm water. Moreover, Tai student trials and even becoming an official in Cao Wei. Sima Pu followed this and Shao Liang continued to develop with reasonable and well-founded, and it was not abrupt at all.
This is because the perspectives are different.
Ka Xu thought for a long time and felt that the fact that the student was an official would have an impact on the aristocratic family, but the impact was not that great.
To be honest, if you really compete with the skills of the scriptures, the children of the gentry may not be inferior, and may even be even more powerful. After all, not everyone can accept Imperial Academy. You must have some basic knowledge to enter. This is the advantage of the gentry, especially those who pass on culture.
Emperor Liang must have thought of this result, right? But he doesn't seem to care much? Or what he cares about is just forming such a rule and a system?
This person has a very deep mind and many methods.
*******
On the sixth day of the fifth month, the ship Ka Xu had passed by Yanshi County, and Luoyang was far away.
At noon, in order to avoid the canal ship, the boatmen pulled the ship full of iron, white porcelain and travelers into a pond next to it.
Kaxu stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the shore near the ruler, which seemed to be the territory of the military palace.
At the end of the post road in the distance, a team appeared in shape.
It was like a thunder sound on the ground, and the village and the village suddenly came alive.
The boy who was grinding a sickle by the well rubbed his feet and went out.
The woman who was picking vegetables in the field straightened her clothes, washed her hands in a hurry, and then gave her hair a thumb.
A touching blush appeared on Xiao wheat-colored face.
The old man stood firmly on the side of the road with a bundle of firewood on his back and looked into the distance.
The old woman walked out of the chicken coop, put on a shed, widened her turbid eyes, and carefully identified her son who had been on the battle for half a year.
"I'm finally back." Someone laughed loudly, "The people from Qianjin Longxiang Mansion came back three days ago."
At the market outside the Junfu Fort, the merchants walked to the donkey cart with a smile, took out the more expensive goods and placed them on the stall.
They had just moved from Qianjin Mansion to Zixiang to earn money from the hands of the soldiers who returned from the army.
Of course, not only selling goods, but also having a lot of good things hidden in the hands of the government soldiers. It is a good time to reduce the price.
Ka Xu's eyes were attracted by a school built along the wall of the military mansion.
The school is not big, and there are less than twenty children studying. At this moment, they are a little upset and they are looking around.
Liu Xu was not interested in other things and was just amazed at this private school.
The aristocratic families have their own private schools, and they are usually taught by their children, and the students are also members of the clan.
The cost is actually quite large.
School buildings, teaching aids, training, etc., the most expensive one is teaching aids.
People today think shoddy hemp paper will be expensive to the sky, and even the children of the gentry may not be able to afford it.
Even until the end of the country, the price of paper dropped a lot and was still very expensive. The government used bamboo slips in large quantities.
By reading the wood, you can see the rareness of the imperial edicts occasionally written in jute paper during the Cao Wei period, which shows how rare it is.
Ka Xu has seen a record of the grand historian in his family, which cost thousands of bamboo slips and can almost be used as a family heirloom.
In this case, merchants were born in the Han and Wei dynasties, and rich families might not be able to afford to read or have a way to read. The situation in the Pushi period improved because the price of paper decreased compared with the Cao Wei period, but it was also not optimistic.
Now it is the sixth year of Kaiping in the Shaoliang Dynasty. The price of hemp paper has been falling again and again. Using bamboo slips, fewer and fewer people read wood. The better-textured vine paper has begun to emerge.
Perhaps, it is precisely this change that has greatly reduced the cost of studying, so that even the military government can run schools.
I just don’t know how Liang Ren solved the problem of books, so I can’t rely on hand-copying, right? That would never allow more people to read.
A "crash" sound woke Bian Xu who was thinking.
He looked up and saw the twenty children running out of the school, shouting and running towards the post road to meet his father and brother.
There seems to be more than a thousand soldiers in a military palace? As a result, just a few children come to school.
In addition to spending too much money and having fewer personal life at home, studying is useless may also be a reason that cannot be ignored.
Do the world really need so many scholars? Not necessarily.
The natives who read and read and write official documents are enough to fill their official positions, and there is even a lot of surplus to fill some county officials, but some people may not want to.
With manors and forts everywhere, there are no need for so many merchants who can write and settle accounts.
People are not stupid. It is useless to read books for only a few years. It will only be useful for more than ten years, twenty or thirty years, but it may not necessarily have a way. If you still farm at home in the end, it would be ridiculous.
The way is the key.
Simply put, you have to use these people who can read, write and settle accounts, and you have to let them taste the sweetness.
It doesn’t matter if the aristocrats train a useless scholar. The money is spent and it can be afforded, but what about ordinary people?
The soldiers of the palace should be quite wealthy, and Yikaxu turned his head and looked at the carriages loaded with various wealth on the post road, but raising an "idle" was also a great burden for them, let alone providing pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
If it is useless in the end, no one will come to study, even if the school has been built.
Perhaps, this is the main reason why more than a thousand households have only twenty children going to school.
Kaxu suddenly seemed to have figured out some problems.
Military Academy, county school, county school, tai school, and Imperial school are linked together.
The Imperial Academy and Imperial College provided a way for non-Aristocratic scholars to see the hope of studying and becoming officials, and naturally led to the rise of official and private schools.
But this is not enough. You have to find a way for them. Even if you can't become an official, you can go to the county and township to become a regular employee. If you can't be an official, you have to provide other livelihoods. You have to earn much more than farming.
Otherwise, the money would have been wasted.
But no matter what, Kaxu still saw the positive side.
Shao Xun set up a large number of soldiers in the palace and gradually settled down, the number of scholars in the world was increasing year by year.
And he was also carefully observing, slowly adjusting major policies and guiding them to achieve his goals.
