Traveling in Huainan

Tang Dynasty: Zhang Hu

——I am the dividing line—

In Jiangling City, outside the examination institute near the Great Learning Institute, there are announcements of dozens of feet high and small steps in front of the big wooden list. Below the new round of listings called "Little Ding Ke", there are also groups of young people who are waiting for the inspection, making waves of ups and downs sighs.

"Congratulations to Brother Nian, I've passed the re-examination this time. I'm afraid that my future will become more and more limitless after arriving in Huainan."

Immediately, someone cheered each other on the street full of enthusiasm and envy.

"It's too good to be praised, it's just a eleventh-level selection below the official website. It should not be like this... It's still necessary for us to work hard to achieve a peaceful world!"

The young man who was congratulated wore a light blue zipper-style shirt and hips, and he couldn't hide his joy and answered:

"You are very humble. After going to Huainan like this, as long as you can make a basic appearance, you will be promoted to officials in accordance with the battlefield regulations first, and even the leaders of the officials are not expected."

This is someone who knows a little bit about the inside story, and is selling his modesty to the left and right

"What my junior said is that the selection of officials in the governor's office is more strict. If you can be a chief officer, then will it really be a qualified person to be a civil servant? "

Some people also echoed happily:

"I have two juniors in my family who have just been admitted to the affiliated school of the clerk department. I will not be allowed to have corresponding internships in the future, and I will rely on Brother Nian to watch..."

This is because of good relationships and good-looking classmates, so I used this to beat the side and lay the foundation.

"I have booked a private room upstairs in Yu Qingming. Please give me a look at you in the same year."

Another person dressed in a student was yelling intriguingly, saying that this was an existence that could not wait to build relationships and recruit connections.

These children from businessmen's families are undoubtedly one of the most powerful and firm supporters under the Taiping Army's rule. Although the Grand Governor may not be attracted by it, it was once dubbed the alliance of interests. However, after the arrival of the Taiping Army, their situation at the end of the Five Peoples suddenly gained a great advantage.

Not only are there all kinds of tax and miscellaneous classes, but the checkpoints are not gone, and the water and land roads have become well connected, and the risk of trade on the road has been greatly reduced; in fact, even the corresponding social status has been raised a lot in disguise. The reason is also very simple. After the Taiping Army cleared the families of wealthy families and officials, the corresponding class will naturally need to rise to fill the corresponding gap.

What's more, because of their family connection, they often have natural advantages in accounting documents and counting, and are easier to be selected into the selection and employment system of the early Taiping Army under the rule of the Taiping Army. Then, with the Taiping Army's governance philosophy, the natural boundary between officials and officials was broken, and they had a broader prospect and future.

You should know that after so many years under the rule of the previous dynasty, although these merchants could bypass the restrictions of the court by means of household registration and registration, they could participate in the provincial examination and tribute examinations through means such as subsidizing households and registration. However, the actual situation is that no matter how much money and effort they spent, they could not change the current situation of being discriminated against and suppressed during their careers.

Even if they pass the exam, they can only hold some minor positions, and it is a delusion to go further. Because they can't win over those wealthy families and gentry families within the court system. Even if there are occasional success examples, it is a result of a lot of money created by chance.

Therefore, when someone discovered that the Taiping Army, who had always been harsh and vicious, had actually opened the door to them and opened the door to convenience, he changed his position and attitude without hesitation, and became the most determined supporter of the Taiping Army and one of the driving forces for social transformation, even those who were once branches of the aristocratic families and relatives.

Not only because the places conquered and cleaned by the Taiping Army are driven by unlimited business opportunities and profits; as long as they can provide cooperation and cooperation, most of them will be rewarded. It is also because of the Taiping Army that a new group that has just crossed and rose to the class in disguise is eager to consolidate their social positioning and role. After all, as long as they are, they will plan for aspects that are more beneficial to them.

Even the branches of the aristocratic families and other peripheral businesses with related relationships, under this trend, it is inevitable that they should seek more benefits and future for themselves; compared with the strict system of ranks of the old clans and the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the

Although the Taiping Army has many rules and restrictions and is complex, as long as they are used to acting under the corresponding system and framework, they can be relieved in disguise. As businessmen who pursue profit or make a living, what they are most worried about is that there are no rules, or that there are rules but no one takes it seriously.

As another strong competitive group, the descendants of the family members of the local family of officials for generations. However, because they have been rushing and moving in the village for a long time, they rarely have a background and clean hands. In the end, they can go through the strict liquidation system of the Taiping Army, and the number of survival is limited. However, it is difficult to form enough pressure by virtue of the actual application of the criminal law.

In contrast, although those businessmen, businessmen and craftsmen and workshop homes also have various habits and bad customs, such as exploiting apprentices, mates and hoarding, they are the groups that are most likely to accept transformation and transformation and survive under the new order dominated by the Taiping Army.

Among them, the former can rely on the basis of numbers and writing to take the shortcuts for accounting officials and clerks in the Taiping Army's test; while the latter can rely on the skills and talents of the family to follow the route of construction and factory systems at all levels. Correspondingly, are traditional poor scholars who can enter the corresponding career through agricultural science, propaganda and education systems, or are children of the common people from the descendants of the descendants of the great surname.

Then, they themselves also divided into many large and small business groups, associations and businesses in accordance with the order of joining the Taiping Army and the estrangement of relatives and relatives, and maintained a long-term trend of both (internal) competition and (external) cooperation.

For example: among them, the oldest and most capital is undoubtedly the Cantonese maritime merchants from Liangling; the most favored by the Jingzhao merchants in Guannei led by Wang Poxian; the most numerous but the smallest average cost are the Hunan merchants; the least presence is the local merchants in Jingnan; and since the Taiping Army pacified the Third Road of Jiangdong, the strongest coastal world merchants such as Chang, Su, Hang, Yue, and Ming have jumped to it and become the most powerful competitors of others.

Therefore, this round of re-examination is also one of the other ways and stages for businessmen in these contexts to fight and compete in disguise. In fact, this also in some ways promoted a new wave of private local schools in disguise. In order to cater to the basic requirements of the "pragmatic way" needed by the Taiping Army, various academic schools and schools that teach skills and official affairs have also begun to appear among some famous cities and towns with the request of sponsors.

Some Confucian scholars who obviously sanctioned food and lived in the south began to promote far-fetched Confucianism. The propositions and principles from "Taiping Tianmu Outline", "Taiping Shengku System", "Taiping Political Strategy" and "Qingping Program" are actually a recreation of the ancient "Three Dynasties of Governance" of the sages and sages, "The world is the public, and the young and old are the ones who are in charge of the old" and so on. Or they described the Gongtun official camp system implemented by the Taiping Army as a contemporary and good policy to save the people and save the nation, which is comparable to Zhou Gong's "feudal world, well-field metric system".

The reason is also very simple. No one wants to miss the opportunity to see the new dynasty when the new dynasty was settled. Even the pattern of the Southern Dynasties was enough to benefit most people. However, the Taiping Army did not admire the traditional classics, verses, morals and articles. Therefore, in order to obtain a future for the past, it was inevitable that these people would rely on their ancestors to follow and follow the past.

(Just like the products of the "New Confucianism" and "Chinese Studies" who revived traditional culture in later generations, and desperately went to the New Democratic Movement - the routine of socialist China's striking porcelain and cheating resources)

Of course, these students who have entered the Great Lecture Institute for studying these students are actually prohibited from any substantive group of fellow villagers and social organizations with political tendencies and demands under the sponsorship of various family backgrounds, under the same name and links such as the same year, same hospital, same subject, same subject, same course, and same course.

Or there are those who truly have ambitions, ideals and progress; there are those who want to change the status quo and their own situation; there are also those who just speculate in disguise and pursue fame; but there are those who are at the end and live with the crowd, even if they stop in the final assessment, or those who have limited qualifications but try to sharpen their heads and squeeze in just to build corresponding connections.

Therefore, every time the promotion and selection of the lecture hall under the Grand Governor's Office is released after the exam, it is almost like this round of livestock and mercy. This time, due to the need to guide and operate Huainan, a survey-based expansion is also one of the opportunities they value.

At the same time, at the mouth of the Poyang Lake, a waterwheeler with a strange shape and a hunchbacked central shaft is also in the river test.
