Chapter 97 The Hooker Boy and the Hakka Boy
"To be honest, if you don't make any changes, your tribe members will wait until they can become generals and prime ministers?" Lin Run returned to his calmness when he saw this and asked Lin Zhengying lightly, "Oh, let's be more realistic, ask when will you become a scholar?"
"..." Lin Zhengying was speechless.
"Right, you know very well that if you don't make any changes, it will never be possible!" Lin Run, the governor, killed demons for half his life, how could he not even deal with a small patriarch?
No one can resist his fierce move.
"Your tribe members will always be trapped in this forest, living a half-hungry and half-full, unhonest ants! Until a natural disaster, poverty and famine will eliminate all your descendants!" Lin Runji pointed at the old patriarch and said sternly:
"And this is all because of your ignorance and conservatism today! Are you really going to bear this crime? Can you carry it?!"
Lin Runnai was a governor of the province, and was an elder who had just entered the ancestral hall. In front of him, Lin Zhengying had no temper at all, only to be scolded with a depressed and scolded.
After scolding him with bloody scolding, Lin Zhongcheng slowed down and said: "It's no exaggeration to say that our college can come here today because of the good tombs chosen by Emperor Gaozu. If someone hadn't been thinking about the porcelain stone mine of Feitianyan, how could this college know that there was a group of the same clan and tribe in the mountains dozens of miles away in the city?"
"What the uncle said is." Lin Zhengying nodded with tears in his eyes. "You can come, it's really the smoke from our ancestral grave."
"Then don't you cherish it yet?" Lin Run glared at him and said, "This hospital will return to the provincial capital tomorrow. If you have any problems, you will help you solve them today. After passing this village, there will be no more store!"
"Oh..." Lin Zhengying hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes and whispered: "Of course... the biggest business."
"This is simple." Lin Run said as he looked up at the lower hall. Mr. Zhao finally arrived with Liu Zixing and his party.
Lin Zhongcheng pointed at Zhao Shouzheng and said, "He is the largest official in Chaozhou. Today I will let him express his opinion in front of you!"
"Assues the arrangements of the Chief Secretary!" Before Master Zhao could figure out the situation, he put his attitude there first. As expected, he did not know everything, but only knew how to be an official.
"Okay." Lin Run nodded with relief, and told Zhao Shouzheng that the Lin clan's children were blocked from entering school. Then he bowed and said, "Zhao Zhuangyuan, Lin's gunshots have asked you for love for his clan members, please be kind to me!"
"What's the matter with Zhongcheng? Whether it's a local or a guest, they are all citizens of the Ming Dynasty. As long as they meet the conditions, how can they not participate in the boy test?" Zhao Ershi hurriedly waved his hand and looked at Liu Zixing beside him inquiring and said, "Sir, is there any such thing?"
"That..." Liu Zixing certainly didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't tell lies with his eyes open, so he said embarrassedly: "I haven't heard of this, but it seems that there is really no one here in the school."
"No matter whether there is or not, it must be rectified immediately!" Zhao Shouzheng said decisively: "The imperial examination is a plan for the court to seek talents. The school cannot be reduced to a private place where some people monopolize the advancement level!"
After a pause, he said sarcastically: "What's more, no good seedlings have grown in the fields over the years..."
Liu Zixing became more and more shameless.
Then Zhao Shouzheng bowed and expressed his opinion to Lin Run: "Please rest assured that the county examination in February next year, the government examination in April, and the courtyard examination in July, will be watched by the officials themselves, and no one is allowed to make trouble!"
Liu Zixing and Yue Yunpeng looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Mr. Zhao's decision seemed to be cutting their flesh.
~~
Because it is different from the prejudice of later generations, scholars or students are actually only qualified to study in official schools, but their value is very high. The Tongsheng Examination, which determines this qualification, is divided into three levels: county examination, government examination and college examination. The county examination is attended by students from all over the county, and the county magistrate is hosted by the county magistrate, and outstanding students are selected and allowed to go to the city to participate in the government examination two months later. The government examination is naturally hosted by the prefect, and the prefect is not present, and the Tongzhi is acting as an agent.
The county examination and the prefecture examination are both annual. Only students who pass the prefecture examination can be called Tongsheng. Although Lao Tongsheng is a title that is not very harmful and insulting, in fact, most scholars cannot even get the title of Tongsheng.
Tong Sheng will participate in the college entrance examination hosted by the provincial supervisor. The college entrance examination will be held twice in three years, and it will happen once next year. Only after passing it can you obtain the qualification to enroll in the official school and become a commonly known scholar.
Don’t underestimate this student qualification. Even if you become a scholar, you have “fame and fame” and enter the literati class. Although you are only at the bottom, you can already enjoy the privilege of exempting from labor services and not kneeling when you see the magistrate, and you cannot use punishment at will. The best-achieving "student" will also give you money and food monthly, which is considered to be a paid school student.
It is no exaggeration to say that the people have all the privileges that the people want to have. Otherwise, the natives of Chaozhou would not use excuses to squeeze out these Hakka people from the boy exam. Isn’t it just to reduce competitors so that their own people can pass the exam for more scholars?
Chaozhou Prefecture can't produce a few juren in every subject. The gentry just counts on this little land to get a secondary fame for their children and grandchildren. If they become white people, how can they keep their huge family business?
That is why Chaozhou gentry is so stingy about the school level and does not want the boy to have a good exam paper.
But before coming, Lin Zhongcheng had already received a vaccination, and they dared not pretend to be grandson now.
Besides, the Lin clan has been abandoned for several generations, so it is not easy to pick up the business again? It is not easy to have any competitiveness in ten or twenty years. At least their generation will not see the boy exam in the inner paper.
Besides, Mr. Zhao still has to arrange a one-stop elite education for their descendants? That is the reliance of their children in their family to break through the provincial examination and even the imperial examination.
Because something happened ten or twenty years later, offended the young master's father and the governor of a province, that would be called losing the big picture because of a small matter.
~~
Since this is the case, there is no need to make Mr. Zhao unhappy again. Liu Zixing and Yue Yunpeng immediately expressed their opinion, firmly supporting Mr. Zhao's wise decision and never let Lin Zhongcheng down.
"What are these two?" Lin Zhengying was moved and then she remembered that it was too rude to ask who these two were before they could ask.
When Lin Run introduced to him that one of these two was Mr. Liu, who had been the governor of the government, and the other was Yue Yuanwai, who had been the minister of his father, there was another uproar in the sky.
"So it's Fu Laozi!"
"Fulaozai dares to come to Hakka enclosures? Are you tired of living?!"
"Get out of here!"
Hakkas call Chaoshan people "Fulao" or "Fulaozai" because as the saying goes, "there are differences between Fujian and Guangxi, but there is no difference between Zhangchao". It means that although Zhangzhou in Fujian and Chaozhou in Guangdong belong to two provinces, there is no difference in customs and humanities. Therefore, the Hakkas do not regard Chaoshan people as Cantonese people, but as Minnan people, despised it as "Fulaozai".
Of course, Chaoshan people also despise them as "Hakkazi", and no one compares to anyone's civilized nature.
A peaceful atmosphere disappeared, replaced by countless vigilant, hatred and angry eyes!
Because under the deliberate propaganda of the tribe, the tribesmen regarded the Chaozhou natives as the culprit that caused their miserable life. These two goods are naturally the leaders of the enemy!
The guards who followed in couldn't help but become nervous and looked at their respective masters, as if the situation was out of control.
Lin Run calmly said to the Hakka people: "This is the second thing I want to solve for you - the conflict between the locals and the tourists."
"I know that your ancestors have made great enemies and many people have died. But those generations have long died, and even their sons are almost gone. But the hatred left by their ancestors has always trapped you in the mountains, leaving you alone to endure suffering. This is unfair!" After a pause, he raised his tone and said:
"Don't advise others to be kind without the hardship of others. Our institute does not force you to be generous. I just hope that you can consider yourself and your clan. Think carefully, should you put hatred aside first, make money by mining yourself, and let your descendants study and study, or will it be better to be as good as usual?"
Lin Run said, pointing to Liu Zixing and Yue Yunpeng and said, "And to be fair, these two are from second-rank officials and the other are from a noble family. They are much higher than you in terms of their identities. Now, in order to allow the people of Chaozhou to live a safe and happy life, both of them are willing to put down their airs, put down their pride, and follow me to Daliao to take the initiative to seek peace."
These words made Liu Zixing and Yue Yunpeng feel much more comfortable, and they also felt noble in sacrificing themselves for others. They cooperated with Lin Run to express their opinions, hoping that everyone could let go of their grudges and start over.
Sometimes, when people and people just breathe a sigh of relief, they will become water and fire.
Seeing that the noble indigenous masters were all convinced, the tribesmen felt as if they had eaten betel nut Shunqi pills, and their tone suddenly became much relieved.
Lin Run's eyes swept over the Hakka people and knew that the matter had been done, and the zombie Taoist priest could not stop it. Finally, it fell on Lin Zhengying and saw the color of dusk on the old man's face.
Lin Run looked up at the sky, and it turned out that before he knew it, the sun was about to disappear under the eaves on the west side of the enclosure.
Lin Zhengying lowered his head dejectedly, and his tone seemed to be about to ejaculate with the sun that was about to set.
"Are you going to sit down and have a good talk or to bomb someone out? Old patriarch, you have to think about it." Lin Run stopped the attack and let him take a breath, so as not to get too tight and break the strings.
"It seems that I can't go back tonight, so I have to bother the old patriarch for one night. You guys will discuss it tonight. No matter what, I will give me a reply before leaving the hospital tomorrow morning." As he said that, he patted Lin Zhengying on the shoulder and asked with a smile: "Are you ready for the meal? Your uncle is almost starving to death."
"Hurry, start the meal!" Lin Zhengying suddenly remembered that the governor had not eaten yet.
So the women brought the Hakka pots that had been prepared long ago to entertain the governor and his party.
