Chapter two hundred and seventy-four boycott the policy of the Huns(1/2)
Qi Heng and the others discussed next to the vendor.
Not long after, noisy sounds came from the street.
Several soldiers rode horses, holding yellow cloth in their hands, and dismounted cleanly. The people pointed at each other without any fear.
"Is there something big happening again?"
"have no idea."
In the past two years, the court's announcements have not stopped one after another.
A few months ago, the rebellion of Huainan King Liu An was just released.
This time, I don't know what it is.
Every people have a strong interest and gather together.
Several soldiers put on yellow cloth and turned around and shouted: "According to the orders of the court, from today on those who are willing to fund money, those who are willing to support money can have the opportunity to become officials."
Everyone was in an uproar.
"What's the meaning?"
"It seems that you can become an official by spending money."
The soldiers did not explain much, and needed to go to other cities to announce and leave quickly.
Several older scholars walked forward and squinted their eyes.
Start reading.
"...The treasury is empty, and there are special gifts to official titles..."
"Set up the eleventh level of martial arts title..."
"The highest level is called "Zhuashi"; the second level is called "Xianyuwei"; the third level is called "Good Scholar"; the fourth level is called "Yuan Rong Scholar"; the fifth level is called "official head"; the sixth level is called "Bingduo"; the seventh level is called "Qianfu"; the eighth level is called "Leqing"; the ninth level is called "Zhirong"; the tenth level is called "Zhengru"; the eleventh level is called "Jiwei".
"A per level of 170,000 yuan."
After years of fighting against the Huns, the Han Dynasty's treasury could not stand it.
The huge amount of wealth accumulated in the seventy years of Wen and Jing's reign was squandered in just over ten years.
However, if you want to expand the results of the war, you must continue to fight against the Huns. If you want to continue to fight, you must find money. The national treasury is empty and there is no food left. Where can you find money?
At this time, the court came up with a way to raise money.
Facts have proved that this is a way of endless troubles but has to be done. That is, sell the title and issue an edict, and anyone with money can buy the title. At the same time, as long as it is a crime, you can also use money to atone for your sins. The more money, the more you redeem, the less money, the less punishment.
The people were talking.
"You can become an official after buying the seventh level!"
"Yes, you can find a position in the county and township, or it is assigned by the court. The real people from the court are. I didn't see the above saying, if you perform well, you can be recommended to the central government as a lie!"
"What is Lang Guan?"
"Don't you know this? You can meet the emperor in person every day. If you are attracted by the emperor, it will be that the ancestral tomb will be filled with smoke!"
"How much does that cost!"
"The first-level 170,000 yuan requires a lot of money!"
Qi Heng and Song Jiachang also joined in the fun and quickly understood the meaning.
Qi Heng frowned and said, "This... is inappropriate!"
"Brother Zuo Sheng, this is not bad, I think it's very good."
Song Jiachang was so energetic and excited.
"In the future, we can become officials without being filial and honest. This is much simpler, just spend money."
Qi Heng shook his head: "It seems that the national treasury against the Huns' war for many years has been empty, otherwise the three dukes of the court would definitely not agree with this approach. Look, what kind of people really support such a policy?"
Song Jiachang hesitated and said, "I want to be an official but can't become an official."
Qi Heng took a deep breath: "It's a businessman. The court encouraged the people to do business, but at the court level, it has been suppressing merchants and officials. If these people have money and power, it will be ruined."
"It's not as serious as you said?"
"This is just spending money to buy a small official. Will it affect the central government?"
"If you know, you will definitely do it. As long as you implement it for decades, it will definitely have a profound impact on the central government."
Song Jiachang smiled indifferently and said, "Those people in the central government must know this disadvantage. Don't worry, we don't have to worry, they will solve it."
Qi Heng thought about it and this is the same.
So, I didn't think about it carefully.
Looking around, I saw many businessmen rushing over.
Their outer clothes were simple linen clothes, but the inner layer was indeed luxurious silk shirts. They quickly traveled into the crowd, stood under the yellow cloth, and read them word by word, with their expressions becoming more relaxed and excited.
Qi Heng sighed.
This has nothing to do with myself.
He and Song Jiachang returned to the inn. The inn was an ordinary low-rise building, but there were many people.
Merchants, soldiers, and idle people coming and going.
People from all directions gather here.
However, after seeing the two of them, their eyes changed a little, with a sense of respect.
Since the Han Dynasty only needed Confucianism to recruit posts, the status of Confucian scholars has grown rapidly.
Almost in order to gain a foothold, one must establish a good relationship with Confucian scholars.
More importantly, even if there are many sects within Confucianism.
Everyone is still very united, so few people dare to provoke him.
Several children wearing white shirtless clothes were wandering on various tables in white towels.
"gentlemen."
Qi Heng waved his hand and said, "Give me two cups of warm water and a plate of mutton."
"Don't let the mutton be planted in the air, and there's such a small bowl of vinegar."
Qi Heng picked up a small bowl.
"Okay, you can wait."
Qi Heng likes to stay here the most and can know interesting things happening everywhere.
He also likes the excitement.
Especially he likes to read books in such situations. The louder the sound, the more distracting he is.
The teacher also mentioned in his notes that their Confucianism should not just serve the emperor, but should also consider the people at the bottom. Confucius said that there is no difference in teachings, and anyone is qualified to understand the true meaning of the world, and anyone also has his own life principles. We cannot criticize others from our own perspective. Only by going deeper into the bottom can we better understand others.
He was originally from a poor family.
After a hundred years of progress, when the founding of the country, how many nobles were there?
Most of them died in the war.
It's just a slow difference.
Only the saint's words will never change.
"How many people have you placed?"
"There are almost a thousand people."
"So many."
"That's sure, it is said that it is the tribe of the uncle of the Xiongnu Shanyu, and there are also several relatives of the wife of the previous generation of Shanyu."
"Haha, these Huns will surrender only after they have been beaten to the point of pain. Four or five Huns came during this period, and it is said that they were all unable to survive in the Huns."
Several big men with curly beards were discussing heatedly.
"That's sure, the Huns are so cold. I heard that sometimes they can only eat grass roots, not like my big man, my big man's beggars are better than them."
"Hahaha."
The words of several people were full of jokes, and they were like we were invincible in the Han Dynasty and the Huns were trashed.
"I get angry when I talk about the captives."
"What's wrong?"
"I've been envious of these Xiongnu prisoners after seeing them. The court officials don't know what they think. They're just messing around. You said, it would be fine if the Hun leader was well received. Many poor people took good care of them, and the policies were too generous."
A middle-aged man with a yellow face said with a loyalty: "Do you know? Just to welcome the captives of the Huns, we have about a hundred and two carriages."
"What are you doing in the carriage?"
"What are you doing to welcome them? They are noble people."
