Soon I will go to the school to learn the professional skills that Qin officials should possess.
Thinking back on this month, he felt like he was dreaming.
A month ago, he was still a dead man.
One month later, he entered the palace and became a Qin official. All this was so unreal.
and......
The Qin officials who came out of the school were not ordinary Qin officials.
They are equivalent to the academic classes of later generations. They are naturally one level higher than other officials, and their promotion space is also much higher than other officials.
They have the opportunity to enter the court and rank among the three public officials and nine ministers.
And "Miscellaneous Codes of Internal History" has a clear stipulation: "Hou, Si Kou and other subordinates do not dare to serve as assistants to the government, and Shi Ji bans court officials and robbers."
That is, ordinary officials who have not entered the office for further studies are not allowed to hold senior official positions with important functions, and can only do some low-level jobs or work without much real power.
In Da Qin.
All officials with real power will go to the academy to study.
The benefits of studying in the academy are not only beneficial to serving as an official in the future. During the period of studying in the academy, Shi Zi enjoyed preferential treatment such as being exempted from corvee service.
This is also the reason why there were a large number of soldiers in the Qin Dynasty who went to Guizhou to pretend to be Shizi, or why some Shizi who were studying were reluctant to complete the graduation procedures, because pretending to be Shizi or delaying graduation would help them avoid corvee service.
The content taught in the classroom is roughly divided into four categories.
Calligraphy, writing, military, arithmetic.
The Qin Dynasty promoted "taking the law as teaching and officials as teachers".
When learning calligraphy in the study room, what you learn is naturally not the Three-Character Classic of later generations, but enlightenment books such as "Cangjie Pian", "Boxue Pian", and "Yanli Pian".
There are clear regulations on how to complete the calligraphy class.
"Shuowen Jiezi": "Historical Rules: Shizi Shiqi was on his first examination in the 17th year, and he wrote a 5,000-word satire on Zhou, so he was selected as an official."
If you want to graduate, you must be able to read and write at least 5,000 words.
Before the Qin Dynasty unified the world, Confucian students were strictly prohibited from entering the school.
Qin's rejection of Confucianism was almost unabashed.
Shang Jun even bluntly stated in his book that "Poems", "Books", etiquette, music, etc. are the "six lice".
After Qin unified the world, although it began to accept hundreds of schools of thought, it also began to allow Confucian scholars and other students from hundreds of schools of thought to enter the school. However, the scholars in the school were not allowed to receive Confucian education, and Confucian students were strictly prohibited from passing on their knowledge in the school.
So unlike later generations, Confucianism in Impression Middle School teaches you poetry, music, etiquette, Taoism teaches you philosophy, and famous teachers teach you logic, eloquence, etc., which are all impossible to achieve.
The Qin Dynasty schools were government-run.
They only focus on practicality and utilitarianism, and here they only teach historians how to serve as officials and officials.
As for the academic research and artistic literacy emphasized by later generations, the government did not need them. What the court and local governments needed were only practical talents.
The writing is official writing.
The requirement of historical regulations is that "the text is harmless".
That is, the writing must be logically rigorous and free of flaws.
The writing is a judicial document.
These documents are mainly related to the trial of cases. If there are any errors in the contents, it will lead to unfair judgments. This is a taboo for Qin officials.
Writing is also the top priority of study in the school!
military!
Officials in the Qin Dynasty were divided into two categories: civil and military.
Literary officials need not say much.
Military officials include county lieutenants, tour guides, pavilion chiefs, Qiu thief, etc. These officials are mainly responsible for local security.
The whole country of Qin was armed with soldiers.
As long as they are not physically disabled, adult men will serve.
This also means that those who break the law will not be poor in skills. Therefore, if you want to be a competent military official in the Qin Dynasty, you must have good military training, otherwise you will not be able to subdue those rangers and bandits.
Qin Luoheng was very interested in studying military affairs.
He lives in the mountains and forests all year round.
The force is not bad.
But he does not know how to shoot crossbows, ride horses, drive and other military skills in the army. He is still very interested in learning these things.
after all......
Who among men doesn’t envy Wu Gou?
Qin Luoheng was initially surprised that the Qin Dynasty taught arithmetic in the school, but later he realized that the Qin Dynasty was a practical government.
The internal affairs of the Qin Dynasty were very serious.
For example, "Microcoat paint", "Armored armor", "Forged iron and gold casting", "Nuclear work to accomplish things", "Splendid articles", etc. all require a lot of calculations.
and......
The Qin Dynasty had a multiplication table.
However, contrary to later generations, the Qin Dynasty started from "nine-nine-eighty-one" and counted down to "one-one-one".
It can be seen from the content of the lessons taught in the Qin Dynasty School that the courses in the Qin Dynasty School were mainly practical and cultivated all-rounders in all aspects. Although Shi Zi was not necessarily proficient in everything, he must have dabbled in something.
This greatly improved the overall quality of Qin officials.
It’s just that the cost of the classroom system is extremely high.
In the Qin Dynasty, the cost of a bamboo slip was three to five yuan. A scholar spent at least a thousand bamboo slips from the beginning to the end of his studies. The entire course of study cost one person as much as ten thousand yuan. All these funds were paid by the imperial court.
.
This is the main reason why the school system cannot be promoted.
It was also the main reason for the collapse of officialdom in the late Qin Dynasty.
The imperial court could not afford to train enough qualified officials.
In order to maintain local stability, the imperial court had to employ a large number of officials from the former Six Kingdoms. The large number of officials from the former Six Kingdoms would undoubtedly squeeze the promotion space of officials who came from the academy. In addition, the officials from the former Six Kingdoms themselves were corrupt in their governance. Under the influence of what they saw and heard, the Great Qin Dynasty
The official system has completely collapsed.
Until the empire falls!!!
While Qin Luoheng was deep in thought, suddenly the sound of footsteps with thin ropes came from outside the door.
He frowned.
Then I thought of something, got up, and opened the door.
Enter the eyes.
A girl appeared at the door, wearing a red and black dark coat, with a pale face, and eyes as bright as paint. She was not very old, only fourteen or fifteen years old.
Seeing Qin Luoheng, the girl quickly saluted.
"Thank you sir..."
It's just that her body was really weak. Before her legs could bend, she took one step ahead and fell straight down. When she was about to fall to the ground, Qin Luoheng quickly stretched out his hand to help her, and said with a helpless look: "You don't have to do so much."
present."
He helped the girl to the study room.
Then he went to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of salt and sugar water.
After serving it to the girl, he also looked at the girl curiously.
The girl's family background is not ordinary, at least not the common Guizhou one, because the Qin Dynasty actually had regulations on dressing. The dark clothes and large quilts worn by girls were generally worn by people with higher status such as scholars and nobles.
The Qin Dynasty was still dark.
Ordinary people in Qin basically wear black.
Even scholars and nobles generally wear black.
The girl is red and black!
During the Warring States Period, the theory of the cycle of five virtues had become popular, and in order to declare their legitimacy, the seven heroes of the Warring States Period each chose a color as the national color.
Jin is divided into three families.
Wei Shanghuode, Shanghong;
Han Shangmude, Shanglu;
Wood virtue and fire virtue were both occupied by Han and Wei. In order to declare the legitimacy of its victory, Zhao State once again deduced the Five Elements theory and came up with the idea that "fire virtue is the main one, wood virtue is the supplement, and wood assists the fire."
The virtue of fire becomes stronger, which is the virtue of fire and wood.
The color favored by the State of Zhao is seven points red and three points blue.
Qi Weitian, Qi Daijiang, in order to let the world recognize his legitimacy, also deduced the Five Elements theory and proposed the fire-gold virtue of "the virtue of fire is the main one, the virtue of gold is the supplement, the gold is refined in fire, and the king's weapon is eternal"
.
The color favored by Qi also became purple.
They are barbarians from Chu State!
At first, Chu State ignored the Five Elements Theory at all. Later, in order to integrate into the Central Plains and to reasonably annex other vassal states in the future, it also began to consider its own legitimacy and further deduced the Five Elements Theory, deducing that 'the descendants of Emperor Yan are the same as the Yellow Emperor.
Tongde is Tude.
The color favored by Chu State is earthy yellow.
The Yan State is an authentic royal family, and it is natural to inherit the Huo De of Zhou. However, the Dukes of the Yan State believe that Huo De has declined. If they continue to inherit the Huo De, the fire will be extinguished. If they want to prosper, they must do the opposite.
Therefore, it was deduced that "Yan is near the North Sea and is endowed with water virtue".
Yan admires blue.
The Qin Dynasty was characterized by water virtue and blackness.
As for the Qin Dynasty, the Qin court never admitted that it admired the virtue of water, and only declared that its country was black.
During the Warring States Period, the Five Elements of Xia, Shang and Zhou had been established, but the Zhou royal family still existed. Although the vassal states coveted the world, except for the authentic royal vassal state of Yan, no one dared to truly say that they advocated water virtue, so there was
This is a strange situation.
The other six countries all knew that Qin admired the virtue of water, but Qin refused to admit it. By the time Qin recognized that it admired virtue of water, it was already after Ying Zheng unified the world.
After staring at the red and black clothes for a few times, Qin Luoheng asked curiously: "Are you from the original Wei country?"
