Chapter 17 Inspection
In fact, Li Zhi looked unhappy, not targeting Cai Guoxi, but because he was jealous of Hai Rui.
Damn, Hai Rui is a juren, and I am also a juren. He is a county school teacher, and I am also a county school teacher.
But he was able to become the governor of Yingtian, but I was still a teacher.
Although he also knew that Hai Rui deserved to be the governor, he was unhappy and no matter how many reasons were, it was useless.
Today, Li Jiaozun was full of energy and wanted to compete with Hai Rui, and to refute him speechlessly and prove that he was no worse than him.
Anyway, Li Jiaoshou didn't point to this official for dinner. If he didn't stay here, he would have stayed.
~~
After Hai Rui's sedan chair stopped in front of the school gate, Cai Guoxi quickly trotted forward and welcomed Hai Zhongcheng to the school gate.
The officials had long been ordered not to kneel down in front of the school gate, but instead bowed to show respect for teachers and education.
Hai Rui nodded, behind Mingping, and then went into the prefecture school surrounded by officials.
Suzhou Prefecture School and Confucian Temple are one, with Confucian Temple in the east and Confucian Temple in the west. From the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the layout has become more and more complete in the past five hundred years.
There are two central axes after entering the door. On the left is the Confucius Temple complex centered on the Dacheng Hall, and on the right is the Gongxue Building complex centered on the Minglun Hall.
Under the guidance of Master Cai, Hai Rui first entered the school and crossed the Xima Bridge, came to the Dacheng Hall, burned incense and worshipped the Supreme Master, and then transferred to the prefectures in the west.
There are also five buildings facing north and south here. Everyone walked through Pan Palace, Limen, and Yimen to Minglun Hall.
On the couplet in front of Minglun Hall is engraved with the eternal teachings of Mr. Fan:
‘Worry about the world first, and then enjoy the world first.’
More than 200 blue-shirted students from Suzhou Prefecture School have already lined up in front of the hall, waiting for the governor to receive him.
Schools in the Ming Dynasty are not something that can be studied with money. They have to pass the selection of county, government and college exams before they can enter the school.
Once you enter the school, you will be a student, commonly known as the "scholar". Not only are you qualified to take the imperial examination, you can also start to enjoy various literati privileges such as "duty-free and exemption" and "no kneeling when you see an official".
Therefore, the number of students is also very precious. The court stipulated that there were 40 students in the government, 30 students in the state, and 20 students in the county, each of which would give six dou of rice to subsidize their lives, which is the so-called students in the state.
But there are too many scholars who want to squeeze into this door... If a scholar fails to become a scholar, even when he is 80 years old, he can only be called "little friends" by people with fame. Only when he passes the exam can everyone be happy to be "friends" together.
Therefore, the imperial court allowed additional additional withdrawals, attached to the end of the students, and was called the attached student, referred to as the "attached student". The attached student did not have a strait rice and could not guarantee the examination of the child student, but he could take the imperial examination, so the difference was not big.
In addition to the appendage students, among the more than 200 students in Suzhou Prefecture School, there are many students who come to borrow from other places. Not only do they have no subsidies, they also have to pay tuition fees. However, the teaching quality of Suzhou Prefecture is extremely high, and there are many people who pass the exam in each session. Therefore, students from other places don’t mind spending more money, giving gifts and entrusting relationships, and also enrolling in school.
This is also the reason why Zhao Hao asked Li Zhi to be the principal of Suzhou Prefecture School. I don’t know how many future talents will be produced by these more than 200 carefully selected students.
It is absolutely a huge profit to come and brainwash them in advance... and cross them out and instill advanced ideas instead!
~~
After the students saluted the governor, Priest Cai asked Hai Rui to give a lecture.
The secretly-shirted scholars stood quietly on the big ping, looking at Haigangfeng standing upright on the steps, I wonder how high the legendary hero would make.
What Li Zhi hated the most was that he listened to his leader's speech, which was empty and boring and wasted his life. This time he was also cheered up and did not want to miss every word from Hai Rui.
"You may have heard that the first official position of this college is the county school teacher. Therefore, it is not an outsider to teach and educate people, so you can talk a few words all the time." He only heard Hai Rui's voice was loud and every word was ridiculous:
"In our college's view, the school's task is to cultivate talents who are both morally and capable and useful to the country. I believe that all scholars also have great ambitions and hope to establish great achievements for the country in the future. However, to become available talents, it is far from enough to read only the books of sages!"
Li Zhi couldn't help but look moved when he heard the words, and he said it was a bit interesting.
"What else is needed? Our court puts forward two points here, I hope you remember them!" Then Hai Rui continued: "First, morality is first, and law-abiding!"
Hai Rui said, his eyes swept over the sentient beings with sharp eyes and sneered: "This court knows that most of the students are descendants of wealthy families and children of gentry. Many people are fearless and cannot tell the truth. They go to and from the yamen to control lawsuits. If they pass the imperial examination in the future, they will naturally become unchanged. They will regard accepting requests as normal and treat collusion with bad gentry as casual."
"The higher the talent of such an official, the greater the harm! This court will never tolerate such people coming forward! Therefore, students who violate the law, take charge of lawsuits, form cliques, and seek profits will never tolerate them!"
"I'm not just saying this to you, but also to all the students and even Juren and Jinshi in the ten prefectures and one state of Yingtian. Once discovered, they will be expelled from their fame immediately and will never tolerate it!"
In theory, the juren and Jinshi must report to the Ministry of Rites before they can be removed from fame and fortune. Those with official positions must also report to the Ministry of Personnel. However, the Governor Yingtian has a king's order flag, so he can be executed first and then report it. If you have no words to say anything about fame and fortune.
Of course, most officials dare not use this power because they offend scholars too much.
But Hai Rui doesn't care. If he has power, he must make full use of it. Otherwise, how can he implement the new policy in Jiangnan?
Cai Guoxi had always been resistant to Hai Ruixin, but he secretly praised him when he heard this.
Hai Zhongcheng had information, and he caught the key points as soon as he came up.
People in Wuzhong like to sue, not to mention that another master of Qingtian came.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Jiangnan, those people who were wronged and wronged in the past and had no way to sue are all preparing to sue.
They knew that Hai Zhongcheng was the most honest official of the Ming Dynasty, and that it was for the people to dare to fight with the emperor for a hero who was right or wrong, so they would naturally make the decision for them!
The people ran around and told each other that the days of revenge were finally here.
Some people are preparing to complain, but naturally some are preparing to respond. Those local tyrants and bad gentry who usually do bad things in the fish and meat village also know that the day to get a list is here.
The gentry brought generous gifts to visit scholars with great honors and asked them to help sue. The scholars and juren were well-known and familiar with rules, were smart, and they also called brothers and brothers to the officials. They were born to be the material for making lawsuits.
In fact, many scholars and juren make money by taking charge of lawsuits and eliminating disasters for others.
After Hai Rui's ban came down, he directly pressed all the lawsuits down. Which scholar dared to show up in the yamen openly?
Without the lawsuit, the case will be much easier to deal with.
Priest Cai said in his heart that it seems that Hai Zhongcheng planned to use case-breaking as an incision to open up the situation of the new policy.
