The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 509 Xiaowei's Studying Notes ([-])
In mid-December 274 AD, many uninvited guests poured into the mansion of Wei Guan, governor of Xuzhou.

Among these people, the leader's surname is Chen Mingyue, who is the current patriarch of the Guangling Chen family (Chen Jiao, the father of the Jin general Chen Qian, was originally named Liu, because his father died early, and he adopted his mother's surname to the Guangling Chen family, so he One cannot be the patriarch).His ancestor was the famous Chen Deng.Others, including those surnamed Wang, those surnamed Zhuge... Well, they are all big and respectable families on the ground in Xuzhou.

"My lord, didn't the imperial court say that the nine-rank Zhongzheng system will still be implemented this year? Why has the Dazhongzheng submitted the list for two months, and the imperial court still hasn't appointed him?"

The system of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was established from the beginning of the Cao Wei Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties.It itself has undergone many changes.To put it simply: the big family's control over this system is getting stronger and stronger, and ordinary landlords and wealthy families are gradually declining.The fundamental change in this system lies in Sima Yi.

When the Jiupin Zhongzheng System was first established, there was no such post as state Zhongzheng.The county-level Zhongzheng plays a decisive role in the evaluation of talents.The state level basically transfers the evaluation of talents from the county level to the central government.

Sima Yi was the first to propose the establishment of a Dazhongzheng at the state level to play a leading role in talent evaluation. This suggestion was initially rejected by Cao Shuang, the general of Cao Wei at the time.After the Gaoping Mausoleum change, Sima Yi took this suggestion out again and turned it into an actual policy.

May I ask?Compared with Zhongzheng in the county, a little wealth and fame in the family can be compared.Who can be a great Zhongzheng in a state?Of course it can only be from a noble family.In this way, the originally relatively fair Jiupin Zhongzheng System suddenly became a tool for the self-interest of the noble family.

This is one of the fundamental reasons why the top aristocratic family supported the Sima family's usurpation of the throne.

In doing so, the Sima family ascended to the throne, the top family obtained the hereditary right to be an official, and formed absolute control over the secondary family, which was not insignificant.But there was a heavy price to pay: without competition, the class degenerated faster than anyone could have imagined.

However, precisely because the corruption is so fast, these aristocratic families cannot do without this system.

When Ji Han entered the Central Plains, the life or death of the Sima family was none of the business of the old men of the aristocratic family.As long as your new regime continues to recognize this system, it is okay for us to bow our hands and bow to you.

Therefore, when Guan Yi announced that the Jiupin Zhongzheng System would continue to be implemented for another year in order to quickly stabilize the Kanto, the eight prefectures of the Kanto remained generally quiet this year.

But here comes the problem: the year is almost over.We judged so many high-level, high-level, etc., and handed over the list early.According to the previous process, whether to be appointed as a court official immediately or appointed as a local official.It's almost time to have an eyebrow.

Therefore, it is already very self-restraining for the big guys to wait until mid-December to make a fuss in the Governor's Mansion.

"Everyone, everyone, please be quiet, be quiet. You are the pillars of Xuzhou, why are you so noisy in my office, please be quiet..."

"Quiet? Why be quiet? Mr. Wei, we are not as lucky as you to have such a beautiful daughter. We immediately hooked up with Guan Zifeng. Now that your family is not worried about official positions, how can you understand our anxiety?"

"Exactly! I heard that Guan Zifeng's second son was extremely ugly and his body was like black charcoal! Hey, Mr. Wei, my admiration for you is beyond words."

"Crack!" Hearing these guys blatantly mocking him for prostitution, no matter how good-tempered he is usually, he can't pretend anymore: "Left and right, push these people to their respective seats with me!"

Wei Guan's bodyguard is Ji Han's Kansai veteran.Looking at the ugliness of these people from the sidelines just now, I was already impatient.At this time, once the officials gave the order, they all rushed forward like wolves and tigers.

"Ouch! Take it easy!"

"Ah, it hurts! Why are you so rude?"

"Ah, my leg, my hand, it's broken, it's broken..."

"Wei Boyu, how dare you humiliate us like this?"

Seeing the ugliness of the people below, Wei Guan really let out a long sigh: "Everyone, the imperial court has not issued an explicit order on how to place the talents recommended this year. What can I do? But then again, although the big Sima has repeatedly instructed me not to intervene in the appraisal of Dazhongzheng. But you ask yourself? Is the appraisal result in Xuzhou this year normal? Last year, in Xuzhou Jiupinli, the top was zero, the top was three, and the bottom was five. This year What? The top is one, the top is eighteen, and the bottom is 37. As for the middle grade, there are hundreds of them. It’s really wrong to do this.”

"Wei Shijun." After all, there is a brutal man like a wolf like a tiger serving behind him. At this time, the representatives of the aristocratic family did not dare to make too much noise: "What does this mean? It means that the big man has entered the Central Plains, and the luck of heaven and earth responds! This is a great thing!"

"We Xuzhou people are self-reliant. If you look at Qingzhou in the north, there is no Shangshang, but what about Shangzhong? A total of 60 people! Twenty times more than last year!"

"Hey, my lords." With a long sigh, Wei Guan stood up: "I don't want to talk too much. I understand your purpose, and immediately ordered someone to draft a memorial to ask the court how to do it. In addition, the Hedong Wei family where I am located has been in contact with many families in Xuzhou for decades. So here, I will do my last responsibility and read a family letter to everyone."

……

"My lord, Father.

The son inherited his father's order and took his fourth younger brother to travel west to study. It was only a few hundred miles, and there were many emotions.

At the beginning, because the fourth and fifth younger brothers were weak and sick and couldn't bear the bumps, and my son and the four younger brothers couldn't take the boat.Therefore, he had no choice but to enter Qin Dynasty by bullock cart.Starting from Huayin, they were often ridiculed and cast aside along the way.

Along the way, I only feel that the people have the courage to face the nobles directly.Officials have integrity, and they are more common in the fields.The ditches are vertical and horizontal, and the sun is shaded by greenery.The seedlings are lush, and the chickens and ducks are in groups.Peasant women sing by the water, and children play by the pool.In a word, it is full of vitality.

After entering Chang'an, the population is prosperous and the market is prosperous.People with high noses and deep eyes, blond hair and blue eyes, and even black charcoal bodies are not common, but they are not rare.Walking around the streets, the local dialects and even the languages ​​of various countries are filled in the ears.In the market in the city, there are famous horses, beauties, and various miscellaneous goods in Taixi, which have never been heard or seen before.Quite dizzying feeling.

My son traveled to Chang'an 15 years ago to study. In the past, although Chang'an had a magnificent city outline, the population was limited and the army was very large.Therefore, there is a sense of coldness and chill.In today's Chang'an, all kinds of industries are flourishing and the household registration is dense.The roads have been repaired and the streets are clean and smooth.Diversion of people and vehicles, left and right.Although the flow of people is turbulent, it is busy and not chaotic.Therefore, in the past 15 years, my son has a sense of vicissitudes.

In the old days of Chang'an, although there were many troops, the soldiers were listless and their armor and weapons were unsightly.In Chang'an today, soldiers occasionally see them in the city, and they all hold their heads high and their chests high.Your Excellency has already learned about the duties in Xuzhou, so you should know the new medal system issued by the imperial court today.Yi'er presumed that in Xuzhou, most of the passers-by would turn a blind eye to veterans who could wear medals.However, in Chang'an, those with medals on their chests are proud of Gu Pan.Passers-by all bowed their heads.The folk custom of advocating martial arts and respecting the public in Kansai is already in full swing.

My son recently visited Chang'an Ling to talk about government affairs.The Chang'an decree said: There are three new things in Chang'an that make it most proud.

One is the sewer.Cement ditches are laid under the ground, and all kinds of sewage flow away by themselves on weekdays.There is no peculiar smell on the street.During the rainy season in midsummer, the streets in the city will never be flooded.The second is sanitation workers.It starts from Yinshi and rests from Youshi.Keep the streets clean at all times.The third is urban management, which ensures the orderly operation of various merchants in the market.It is in the workshop to ensure that the houses of private households are adjacent to each other in an orderly manner, and that they are not built indiscriminately... The Chang'an decree said that in this way, it can ensure that Chang'an will have more than one million permanent residents in the future, and there will be no danger of plague, floods, and fires.

There is also Longshouyuan College in the north of Chang'an City, which has a very large area, more than ten times larger than Luoyang Taixue.There are nearly 3000 teachers and students in the school.Its courses cover Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, law, yin and yang, vertical and horizontal, strategists, and farmers.There is a study of things, the concept of poor heaven and man.There are also Western and Western scholars explaining Roman law and Persian law.Da Sima even wrote a book himself, explaining the root of social evolution in detail.

Although this school focuses on cultivating state officials, it still pays attention to the cultivation of gymnastics and physique.The children's school saw that all the students of this school can gallop on horses, and some of them are commendable in their bow skills.Although his martial arts skills are not worth mentioning compared to the students of Wuzhangyuan Academy.But if you encounter one or two Li thieves, you also have the power to protect yourself.

After my son met Zhao Shuhe, the dean of the Longshouyuan Academy, Mr. Zhao gave him four year-end exam papers for the first-year students of the academy.None of them scored more than [-]% in one subject.And Zhao Gong said: This is a failure, and you should repeat the grade.

The son was upset, thinking that the deacon was deliberately making things difficult.Ran Anu said that last year, at the age of 11, he scored over [-]% in all four subjects.

Ashamed!
The longer I live in Chang'an, the more I feel that this place and Luoyang are separated by heaven and earth.When high-ranking officials here talk about facts, they must cite figures or examples, otherwise they will say that they are meaningless and lack support.The dignitaries and wealthy businessmen here have entertainment and drinking, as well as playing games and courting prostitutes.However, those who are more fond of hearing and seeing are called football and basketball.And my Kanto is flooded like five stones, and anyone who dares to devour it here is the world's intolerance.

In today's Kansai, the officials and the people are a family, the common people live and work in peace and contentment, the officials strive to make progress, the young people are physically strong, and the old and young have their own needs.Although various flaws can still be seen, the flaws are not hidden. Compared with the Kanto, it is full of vitality and looks like a prosperous school.Even the blind can suffer from it.

In addition, I also saw Cao Shi and Sima Shi in Longshouyuan...

Although my son is thirty-five years old this year, he has made up his mind to abandon all useless face and attend the fifth grade of Chang'an Elementary School first.Then take the Longshouyuan Entrance Examination.My son participated in the evaluation in Hedong in the past, and he was also in the upper middle school.After a year of tutoring, you will definitely be able to enter the school smoothly.It's just that at least five years, I can't be filial to my father, I hope the adults take care of their health, and don't think of children.

The four younger brothers all made the same choice as Haier.The fourth and fifth brothers are too weak and young, so they should start school again from the first grade of Chang'an Enlightenment School.The boy and the second younger brother have already trusted the Hedong family, and they want to send our son to Chang'an, and then enter Chang'an to study in elementary school.However, An Nu said that the Chang'an Elementary School is full, and the enrollment quota for next year has been reserved by the children of martyrs.Therefore, I can only enter the school as auditors... Even so, I still think that this is the right thing to do...

All in all, the young generation in Kansai is more than ten times stronger than the children of my Kanto aristocratic family... Da Sima has built momentum, and the world is about to change.If I don't catch up, in less than ten years, there will be no more aristocratic families in Kanto...
My son Wei Mi worshiped, on November [-]th in the third year of the return of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an. "

.......
After reading the family letter sent by his eldest son in cadence, Wei Guan scanned the silent crowd below: "Everyone, how are your children compared to my dog?"

Does this need to be said?Really can not compare ah.Apart from being handsome, Wei Jiazi can still do practical things.Not to mention that Wei Mi, as the eldest son of Wei, had already become an official when Cao Wei still existed.In recent years, he has been well-informed in the imperial court, which is much better than most of these young people who have never been out of Xuzhou this year!

But now Wei Jiazi actually said that ordinary scholars in Kansai are ten times more talented than him?This, doesn't this mean that our children are all rubbish?

Just when everyone didn't know how to answer the conversation, a guard hurried in: "Master, the imperial court has a new decree."

"Huh? Bring me a list of officials... Hehehe, well, everyone, the things you worried about have come to fruition: Commander-in-Chief, this year in the eight states of Kanto, all young talents who have been judged as middle and above, must Before March in the fourth year of Guiyuan, all report to Chang'an!"
