There is a golden house in the book, and there is a beautiful woman in the book.

For thousands of years, the Han people only followed a path of success, which was to follow the path of imperial examinations. Since the Ming Dynasty, the idea of ​​"literary noble and noble martial arts are lowly" has become more and more popular, so that when they were admitted to scholars and became officials, they became the only way for the Han people to hope that their children would become successful. The children of rich families are better, but they really cannot go through the path of imperial examinations and have other means of making a living. Children of poor families can only study and take the imperial examinations, otherwise they can only continue to be poor like their parents.

Behind every scholar from a poor family, there is an indescribable blood and tears. His frugal parents and his widowed mother

The imperial examination gave Han scholars the opportunity to advance to the level of success and change their destiny. If scholars did not enter the level of success, the result would be despair of the future, which would lead to a rebellion from the court (such as Huang Chao, Hong Xiuquan, etc.), or to turn to foreign races to plot ambitions in their hearts (such as Zhang Yuan, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan, etc.)

Before the Qing court entered the pass, a large number of traitors and literati made plans for him. In the year when he entered the pass, Fan Wencheng submitted a memorial to Dorgon to open the imperial examinations of the Qing Dynasty, and to make the imperial examinations a national policy of the Qing Dynasty, so as to gather Han gentry and let them give up the Ming Dynasty themselves, thus serving their loyalty to the Qing Dynasty.

Dorgon agreed deeply and happily adopted it. He took the imperial examination in Beijing in the third year of Shunzhi, which made Northern China quickly settle down. A large number of scholars who were unwilling to be slaves of the country discovered that the Qing Dynasty was not only not a foreign dynasty that did not attach importance to Confucian saints, but instead gave them the opportunity to become officials like the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, under the banner of the Saints and Saints, a large number of scholars picked up their books and buried their heads in the imperial examinations of the Qing court. At that moment, they were more considering how to gain a foothold in the new regime, rather than thinking that I was a Han person, but the court was a Hu person.

After that, whenever the Qing army went south to attack a province, even if only a few prefectures were occupied, the imperial examination would be held after the situation was slightly stable, and a grand ceremony would be held to stabilize the hearts of the local people and reduce the resistance of the gentry in the occupied areas. If the Taiping Army had not emerged in this area, I would have been afraid that the Guangdong provincial examination would have been held at this moment. Hong Shiming, the son of Hong Chengchou, went south to Guangdong, was the Guangdong provincial examination.

It can be foreseen that under the premise that scholars only have the imperial examinations to be promoted to an official and change their destiny, once the Guangdong provincial examinations were opened in the Qing Dynasty, a large number of Guangdong scholars who lost their promotion ranks due to wars would probably be rushing to the imperial examinations of the Qing Dynasty. Even those who still have the same wise mind will probably be shaken. After all, the Qing court has been in the pass for more than ten years and has most of China. On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty was setting sun and surviving. Compared with the two, scholars have the backbone and cannot help but consider their own future and family interests.

"Governing the world is to win the hearts of the people, and scholars are to be beautiful. If scholars have the hearts of the people, then the people will have the hearts of the people."

When asking Hong Shiming about the details of the Qing court's Guangdong Provincial Examination, the other party said this. After hearing this, Zhou Shixiang was silent. Indeed, in order to quickly control the situation and deter the Han people from resisting, the Qing army only used a butcher's knife; when governing the world, they had to use the method of competing for the people's hearts. Otherwise, the butcher's knife would be sharp, facing the continuous "anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty" movement, the Qing court would always shoot itself in the foot.

The so-called hearts of the people of the Han people have always been just the hearts of those gentry. Poor people who have no power and no power have never represented the hearts of the people. They are used to gentry speaking for them. Therefore, as long as they grasp the elite class of the Han people, no matter who they are, they can win the hearts of the people. The basis of the gentry is scholars, scholars with fame and honor.

After Sun Kewang led a large army to the west into Yunnan, he also held the imperial examination. This move also made the people of Yunnan feel at ease. Scholars participated in the imperial examinations of the Daxi Army without asking whether the Daxi Army was a bandit or where the Ming Dynasty court was.

A martial artist is a mother who has milk. Whoever gives me food and meat will work for; a literati will be the one who gives me imperial examinations, so that I can be an official, or hope to be an official, and I will be loyal to whom.

Civil and military affairs are not different paths, but they are actually one!

Learn civil and military skills and sell them to the imperial family. Since the buyer of the Ming Dynasty was not here, of course, he had to invest in the new buyer of the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of his hard study and how could he be worthy of his parents, wife and children at home!

The same was true for Zhou Shixiang at the beginning. He ignored the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Chinese and barbarians, who could allow him to participate in the imperial examination, who could change his status, and who could make his life better, he would become the official.

If there was no such incident in the Xinhui, Zhou Shixiang might be looking at the list at the gate of the Guangdong Gongyuan, looking for one name at a time, with the expectations of parents, wife and children, with great hope, and a longing for the future.

"The Holy Dynasty specially ordered a test of the virtuous and virtuous people, and a team of barbarians went to Shouyang, and arranged new hats at home and put some old articles in their belly." It is the best portrayal of the Han scholars who participated in the imperial examination of the Qing Dynasty.

Even if he despises the officials who came to the imperial examination and despise their incompetence, Zhou Shixiang decided to hold the imperial examination. It was not his whim, but had plans as early as Xinhui. However, when the Taiping Army was trapped in the lonely city, it would be destroyed at any time. It was naturally a dream to open the imperial examination. At present, the Taiping Army actually has dozens of counties in three prefectures and counties, and in name only has the highest administrative yamen in Guangdong. The imperial examination can of course be held. This is not only an important means to compete with the Qing court for the people's hearts, but also a good prescription for the development of the Taiping Army!

It is the 17th century, when the Imperial Examination is in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and when the imperial examinations are prosperous, it is impossible for Zhou Shixiang to cancel the imperial examinations that people want, and instead open various schools, depriving scholars of the only way to become officials through the imperial examinations. This move is too advanced, and it is a small step forward to develop, but it is a big step to take a big step. Even if hundreds of years later, there are different college entrance examinations and civil servant examinations. Although the form has changed too many, it is also a different essence to be selected for the imperial examinations. Compared with the hereditary system of the clan who focuses on blood ties, the empty moral system of the examinations, and the nine-rank Zhongzheng system that focuses on family titles, the imperial examination system can provide the most cost-effective and fair political participation mechanism for ordinary people, and it is more fair, just and open.

The harm of the imperial examination mentioned in the previous life was mostly focused on the idea of ​​restraining the eight-legged essay. In fact, if you want to be fair, you need to be standardized; if you have standardized, formal rigor will inevitably be inevitable. Judging from the official performance of the Ming Dynasty since its founding and its fall, the imperial examination is by no means the real harm, nor does it imprison the thoughts of scholars, but the knowledge of saints learned by scholars is actually inconsistent with the times and cannot keep up with the development of the times.

What you say is not what you believe in, nor what you do. What you do in your own way is not a nerd in mass production of feudal imperial examinations is not a nerd, but a large number of hypocrites who are good at calculating.

Only nerds have integrity!

Zhou Shixiang must not fail to open the imperial examination. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. Is it like killing parents to block people and becoming officials different?

Zhou Shixiang wanted to hold the imperial examination, and this move was not just a means to win over scholars in Guangdong. As Emperor Taizong of Tang said, "All heroes in the world are in my throne." "Being a farmer in the morning and ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening" is the dream in the hearts of every scholar. Zhou Shixiang must not let himself and the Taiping Army become the enemy of scholars' dreams, so he must hold the imperial examination. The imperial examination was cancelled in the late Qing Dynasty in the previous life, but in just a few years, "I, the Qing Dynasty", the lesson was very profound and ironic.

Before cultivating one's new military merit group and new civil servant group, reforming the imperial examination or abolishing the imperial examination would be a foolish act of self-destructing scholars in the world and abandoning the hearts of the people. The Taiping Army must be loyal to scholars, so Zhou Shixiang must hold the imperial examination.

The imperial examination was a compromise between Zhou Shi and this era; pragmatism was a innovation between Zhou Shi and this era. It was not realistic to completely remove the old eight-legged essays. After all, all scholars are educated by eight-legged essays. Those who switch to new exam questions will definitely not be able to adapt. They have to wait for the children who have received the new eight-legged essays since the age of seven to grow up. It took too long. Zhou Shi could not afford to be equal, so he could only be moderate.

The Guangdong University Church was established, and the new education was promoted and the Guangdong Provincial Examination was held at the same time. Zhou Shixiang asked Duke Xiang of Song to organize the Guangdong Provincial Examination at the end of August. All the scholars admitted to the Guangdong University Church first went to the Guangdong University Church for a year, and then they were given official positions according to their grades and practical abilities.

Before going to Zhaoqing to meet with General Linghai Chen Qice and General Zhenguo Zhu Tong, Zhou Shixiang ordered the General of the Administrator to issue an order in the form of legal provisions, that is, to encourage the people under their rule to have more children and those who have daughters will be rewarded. This regulation is called the "Guangdong Family Planning Regulations".

The regulations clearly stipulate that couples must have more children, and at least require a third child. Those who are less than the third child must bear 20% more land tax than other households. Those who are higher than the third child will enjoy corresponding land tax exemption for each additional child. In other words, the more children are born, the more benefits the household will enjoy. Not only do they not have to pay taxes to the government, but they can also get material rewards from the government. In addition, the benefits of war are also distributed by the head of the people, so that babies who have just been born on a day can also enjoy the war dividends of the Taiping Army.

Giving more children and more fields, giving birth to more children and raising pigs, a series of slogans and slogans spread out from the Military Commander's Mansion one by one. As a result, a few months later, some rural areas actually saw ridiculous slogans such as "The whole village will be in prison."

My subordinates were not busy with big things, but instead stayed in the house for several days to do family planning. They were very puzzled to write some ridiculous slogans. Giving children is a matter of couples, and how can outsiders worry about this? How many people have children is a matter of others? Isn’t my uncle too much?

In this regard, Zhou Shi explained to his subordinates that China has been the China of the Huang Han since ancient times, and the Han people refer to the brilliant Han people. The day when Manchu led the Eight Banners troops into Shanhaiguan to set up the tripod in Beijing was the day when my Huang Han race was destroyed! Manchu slaughtered my Huang Han, causing my population to plummet, and the population was the foundation of the Huang Han. Without a population, how could my Huang Han people live in China and how could my Huang Han people prosper for generations? Therefore, Ben Bo issued the Family Planning Regulations, which required my Huang Han people to have more children and children, so that they had enough population strength to resist the attacks of any foreign race against our country, and to remain firm in China with sufficient population strength, without worrying about the day of the national destruction and extinction of the race.
