Zhao Guangyi was going crazy. Before he could talk about war, he was criticized like this. If he talked about war, he might be able to criticize him.

He will never allow others to trample on his achievements.

God of War of the Great Song Dynasty:

"It's all nonsense!"

"How come it is not for the country and the people who have been expanded to expand the number of admissions and vigorously develop the imperial examination system?"

"Which dynasty or generation is not vigorously developing the imperial examination system?"

"Can you tell me how the development of the imperial examination system will cause harm to the country and the people?"

………………………………………

Chen Tong's eyes were full of anger, because he had the endorsement of Confucianism, so he yelled at Zhao Guangyi.

He actually believed that Zhao Guangyi was crazy about recruiting officials, which was a contribution to Yanhuang.

Contribute a piece of yarn, it will definitely bring disaster to the country and the people!

Chen Tong:

“This is simply too simple.”

"Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin only admitted 118 people in 15 years!"

“What does this mean?”

"It means that without adding officials, the Song Dynasty can still operate normally! The Song Dynasty does not need so many officials."

"Also, during the reign of Emperor Taizu of Song and Emperor Taizong of Song, the territory basically did not change much."

"Zhao Guangyi crazyly increased the number of officials. Should he ask the dynasty to give them salary?"

"Where does the dynasty's finance come from? It's not the people's taxes."

"In the end, all these costs were passed on to the people at the bottom. Do you think this is not a cheating person?"

"Which company have you seen that recruits management crazy without regard for the consequences?"

................

Emperor Wu of Han nodded, this is indeed the reason.

Even if it is far away, it will be punished (the sage king of eternal age):

"The officials of the dynasty eat taxes from the people."

"Add one more official, that's an extra burden."

"Every dynasty advocates streamlining officials just to save financial expenses. Don't you understand?"

………………………………………

Zhao Guangyi disagreed. Isn’t it just adding some officials?

Is there many? Not many!

God of War of the Great Song Dynasty:

"Don't exaggerate all day!"

"Didn't you say that Zhao Guangyi only recruited 6,692 people in total?"

"Can these more than 6,000 people make Da Song poor?"

……………………

Chen Tong sneered, it seemed that he did not understand the real harm here.

Chen Tong:

"Is this a matter of more than 6,000 people?"

"You may not be able to see the trick here, I'll do it for you."

"In ancient times, officials were lifelong, that is, as long as they were officials and were not cut off from prison, they could receive their salary before they died."

"Increasing officials means that taxes will also increase, and it will continue to increase within decades."

"What's even more terrifying is that these officials don't have to pay taxes!"

"In other words, these groups who were supposed to pay taxes have become officials, so they don't have to pay taxes!"

"Not only do not pay taxes, they also eat public food."

"How much more burden does the dynasty have to be in and out?"

"People who are familiar with ancient history should know that as long as they have fame and fortune in ancient times, they can do nothing to pay taxes."

"And, this is not the matter of 6,692 officials, and there are still people who have increased geometrically!"

"We also know that in ancient times, the imperial examination was one in a hundred, and the admission rate was quite low."

"How many juren are needed to admit 6,692 Jinshi? 60,000 or 600,000?"

"And if you count down, how many scholars do you need?"

"Expanding enrollment is not that simple, the chain of interests behind it is too huge."

"And, you have to know that these people with fame can be tax-free!"

"Not only is tax exempt, but the dynasty will also give them certain money and food to support them according to the level of fame and reputation of these people."

"Think about it, how terrible it is!"

"With the crazy recruitment of the imperial examination system, how many taxpayers will directly enter the tax-free group and eat public food!"

................

Zhu Di was shocked at that time and felt a chill all over.

The ancient imperial examination system was very strict, and the admission rate was so low.

After all the calculations, how many people did Emperor Taizong of Song Zhao Guangyi give to gain fame and fortune without paying taxes?

Kill your ten clans (the heroic lord in the prosperous era):

“It’s scary to think about it.”

"I feel uncomfortable for the people when I think about getting so many people out of tax."

……………………

Other emperors also realized this problem because they learned from Zhu Di that in ancient times, as long as they had fame and fortune, they could be exempted from taxes, military service, and corvee service.

So aren’t these costs all transferred to the people?

Chen Tong shook his neck and continued to output frantically.

Chen Tong:

"Now, I understand how heavy the burden the people of the Song Dynasty should have! "

"And what's even more terrifying is that these people who have fame and can be tax-free are all rich."

"In other words, the explosion of the imperial examination system, the crazy expansion of the number of admissions and the crazy increase in the number of officials is actually exploiting the people at the bottom."

"Let the rich not only not pay taxes, but also become blood-sucking worms lying on the common people's bodies to suck blood."

"You can imagine what a terrible situation is that it is to let the poor people pay and to support and subsidize the rich."

"The consequence of Zhao Guangyi's crazy expansion of the imperial examination system is that the richer the richer the poorer the poorer the poor."

"This is the biggest tragedy that Zhao Guangyi caused to the Song Dynasty, that is: The Song Dynasty was the dynasty with the largest gap between the rich and the poor in Yanhuang history, and the dynasty with the lowest happiness index."

"The Confucians called the Song Dynasty the spring of literati because the literati here were so happy that there were too many emperors who were fooled and lame."

"But in fact, what I want to talk about is another title of the Song Dynasty: the hell of the people!"

"Look at the Water Margin, the endless hatred, injustice, and anger are filled with. This is the true portrayal of the people at the bottom of the Song Dynasty. People are worse than dogs!"

……………………

After Chen Tong finished speaking, the chat group suddenly exploded.

The emperors all gasped.

Only then did they realize the serious social problems brought about by the expansion of the imperial examination system.

What is the price of spring for literati?

That is the privileged class that sacrifices the interests of the lower class people and provides for it.

Emperor Wu of Han only felt a fire burning in his chest.

Even if it is far away, it will be punished (the sage king of eternal age):

"What a spring for a literati, the Confucian school is really good at bragging!"

"Of course, the Confucians want to brag about the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, these people were the blood-sucking insects of the entire society."

"Not only do they do not pay taxes, they also suck blood from the people at the bottom."
