[There should always be chapters introducing historical background. I think, rather than mixing up the number of words in the VIP chapter to cheat money, it is better to state it in the free chapter, that’s it]

Of course, it stands to reason that there would be no problem in doing so at first. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were both political strongmen. After the late Tang Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy of Sciences evolved into an important institution specializing in drafting confidential edicts, that is, the "Emperor's Personal Person" - the Emperor

It's just a team of secretaries. A group of secretaries who are proficient in writing work and handling procedures are obviously much more important than the experience of serving as a local governor.

The problem is that Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants are not all political strongmen! Later, the emperor's lack of ability made the academicians who were originally assisting the emperor evolve into actual prime ministers. And how can a prime minister do it without experience in governing a province or government? No

Speaking of modern times, even in the Song Dynasty, the prime minister also had to go through the experience of states and counties - even if you don't have great abilities, at least you have to know what's going on!

But as I said before, in the Ming Dynasty, only the third-class imperial examination scholars were assigned to local officials or other positions. If you let the noble and elegant members of the Hanlin Academy work with the third-class imperial examination scholars at the grassroots level and work in local places, how can they do it? This is modern times.

How many petty officials are as big as beans and are willing to work with ordinary workers?

The Hanlin Academy system of the Ming Dynasty resulted in a lack of experience, and that was fine. After all, there were many cases where people who were smart enough to make up for the lack of experience were better than ordinary people with sufficient experience. But the problem was that these first-class people in the Hanlin Academy

In fact, the direction of the development of intellectual ability in the imperial examination is very problematic. It clearly shows that the eight-part essay selection process in the dynasty itself has a misleading effect on people's intelligence. The better the eight-part essay examination, the greater the brain problem...

What exactly is the eight-part essay? Most people learn in middle school that the eight-part essay is divided into eight rigid parts - but this is not a big problem. Formal company and government documents are formatted, and this is what they should be.

, but the problem lies in the writing requirements of the eight-legged essay-that is, the so-called breaking the topic.

Solving the question of the eight-legged essay is also a very complicated matter. I finally found a simple example that can explain what is going on. In the early Qing Dynasty, the entire case of the county examination in Jiaxing County was decided, but two people, A and B, were both good at writing.

At the beginning of finalizing the case, use the 'o' in the "Four Books" and order each person to make a break-up question. A's break-up question said: 'The sages first established their words and understood the celestial phenomena.' B said:'

The sage made his speech first, but there is no square shape.' Nai Dingjia was the head of the case. This story is also recorded in Li Boyuan's "Nanting Four Chapters? Zhuang Xie Cong Hua". One of the records breaks the title and says: "The sage did not speak before he spoke."

, it is completely the same as Tai Chi." Another one said: "The first words are spoken, Zhongni is the day, the moon is also." There are also books recorded with the title: "Master has not spoken before, it is empty."

The same "o" can come up with five different questions, that is, the center of the argument. What is this? In fact, it is similar to the incomprehensible composition of the college entrance examination. To be honest, this examination method can test a

Human IQ and thinking, but it is said that it can be tested

When it comes to actual ability, it’s a joke. If you don’t believe me, you can try to look at the students who scored high in college entrance examination essays. How many of them have good writing skills and are engaged in writing work? Real-life articles are required to be close to reality and make sense.

Damn it, what's the use of something covered in clouds and mountains and fog?

The bigger problem is the combination of the eight-part essay’s way of thinking with politics. The problem is even greater because the eight-part essay’s way of thinking is not combined with reality, which leads to the entire government to be just talking about righteousness and not practical. The famous Donglin party member, moral

, qi festival, blowing loudly, country

What about the actual practice of the family? For example, how much tax to collect, how to collect the tax, and whether the tax recipients can bear it after the tax is collected. These things are not considered at all. This kind of government does not consider the most basic things. Li Zicheng, a laid-off worker,

, sooner or later Zhang Zicheng will appear, right? Wang Zicheng?

And as I said before, different angles of solving the problem may mean different ideas. This does not matter in modern times. Coupled with the reality that in the imperial examination era, the teacher was the father of the student, it is likely that the problem of thinking will be combined with personal grievances, and finally intensify and lead to life and death.

Political struggle - the problem of the Donglin Party is the result of the struggle reaching its limit.

In fact, in a sense, the eight-part essay, which seems to follow the rules and almost restricts people, actually does great damage to Confucian culture. Gu Yanwu once bluntly talked about the harm of the eight-part essay. In order to gain fame, scholars went to great lengths to gain fame.

Cheng Mo, who studied the scriptures and tried to figure out the words and deeds of the sages and the contemporary texts. Later, he stopped even reading the scriptures and only "recorded the passages that could be titled, and these dozens of essays."

Having said all this, I actually want to tell you that if a time traveler in the Ming Dynasty took the imperial examination, if there was no internal connections or good luck, there was no chance of entering the civil service route within the system, no matter how good your eight-legged essay was.

, if it’s not to the examiner’s taste, it’s no use. Eight-legged essays are actually, to a large extent, a tool used by officials to form cliques for personal gain, to unite the party and oppose dissidents, and it really has nothing to do with the selection of talents.

Therefore, Liu Baiyu stayed away from the imperial examination and the eight-part essay, and decided to take a different path. Didn’t the eight-part essay cause officials to be incompetent in practical matters? Well, I will write the "Complete Book of Government Affairs" and write down all the general practical matters!

As I said before, the rule of the Ming Dynasty is that the first-class Jinshi is admitted to the Hanlin Academy, and the third-class Jinshi goes to local officials. So in fact, when the third-class Jinshi governs the local area, the actual level of things is much higher than that of the first-class Jinshi? Is that really the case?

, then haven’t the chief ministers who were born in the Hanlin Academy been sidelined or even squeezed out a long time ago? No!

Because Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, advocated small government and gentry governance, the formal officials in a county, namely the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the chief registrar, and the history officer, could not maintain the normal operating system of a county at all, resulting in the county magistrate

It is necessary to hire a master to help

They assist in handling government affairs, and these masters are all personal assistants to the county magistrate. After the county magistrate leaves office, he will advance and retreat with the county magistrate - in other words, it is equivalent to the transfer of the county magistrate, and the transfer of several major bureau chiefs.

, the chaos this causes to a government can be imagined.

And that’s not to mention, the archives of the Ming Dynasty are not owned by the state, but are in the hands of petty officials [individual civil servants] in the third shift and sixth room. The wages in the Ming Dynasty are notoriously low, and officials can’t earn anything unless they are engaged in gray income.

It is difficult to support a family. With the small official’s salary, I basically cannot support myself.

If you sort it out, you will understand what is going on. The specific characteristics of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty are as follows: 1. The salary is low, too low to maintain a living; 2. The power is so great that there is basically no supervision [the vast majority of farmers are illiterate and cannot do arithmetic]

3 There is basically no hope of promotion

, do you still want to be promoted without taking the imperial examination? 4 Hereditary, although the salary is low, this job is an iron rice bowl, because the land certificate [fish scale book] for national tax collection is basically kept by petty officials. If it is not hereditary, others

Taking over can only be a mess!

To put it more bluntly, the wages are low, the lack of supervision is tempting, the promotion is impossible, and hereditary inheritance makes people have no scruples. How can this system be any better?

All in all, the so-called officials who are in charge of the government are faced with a thorough grassroots civil service system. If the local government is not very rich, and the fire consumption and taxes of silver are not high, their own personal assistants will also

If you can’t afford to support them, you can only let them live in poverty. This kind of system

Next, as long as you are not a huge corrupt person, then the gap between honest and corrupt officials is really not very big, and if you can cope with it during your term, it is considered good. Therefore, the so-called third-class Jinshi with practical experience in governing is actually not as practical as the Hanlin Academy.

Where have the pampered first-class scholars gone?

Hai Rui, the famous upright official of the Ming Dynasty, was actually a superman. He directly did a lot of personal assistant work. This kind of person is born with excess energy. One person can do the work of ten people, but obviously

, if this kind of special case is really used as a standard, it would be an argument.

As soon as Liu Baiyu's "Complete Book of Government Affairs" came out, it was good news for local officials. If nothing else, let's just talk about classified management. It clearly listed the types of government affairs, which is generally a little literate.

The clerks and the like can see it clearly. They can also handle government affairs according to the priority and type of things and according to the time. They no longer have to worry about being confused by petty officials.

The second point is even more important. It is the most important amount management in modern times. Especially with the introduction of the most important financial concepts in modern times, managers can easily find out the whereabouts of each sum of money, when it was withdrawn, and who handled it.

etc.

The third point is the earthwork algorithm required to build various projects. To be honest, few modern people who are not civil engineering majors understand the volume conversion of irregular objects. This complex algorithm is not full of stereotypes.

The civil servants in the article can understand it. Liu Baiyu has introduced modern formulas and algebraic concepts, which are easy to understand and have normal intelligence. As long as he spends more time, those petty officials can see that they look too ugly.

of.

Of course, it is true that Liu Baiyu's book is good news for officials. For the petty officials, it means they will be offended to death. However, although the petty officials are the gods of death who control life and death to ordinary people, among the gentry,
