Survival of the Chongzhen Emperor Chapter 455 If you are good at learning, you will be an official, and if you are not good at learning, you will not be able to eat?
Chapter 455 If you are good at learning, you will be an official, and if you are not good at learning, you will not be able to eat?
"Ruling the country with materials is indeed the way to govern the country. I still have a question. Since there are junior high schools and high schools, and then technical secondary schools, is there some duplication in junior colleges, especially technical secondary schools?"
"No, junior high school and high school are general education, and the main teaching content is to lay a solid foundation and increase knowledge. College and technical secondary school are specialist education, mainly to cultivate the ability to use talents. In other words, from elementary school to
After that, all the talents in the world will be divided, some of them will take the path of using Dao to assist martial arts, and some will take the path of using martial arts as a channel. The past few years in middle school and high school are to give students a time to question their minds and themselves. Those who are temporarily unable to channel
, just take the art path first. Having said that, after all, there are only a few people who have the talent in the world. Even if they are admitted to university, most people will not be able to pass it! As the saying goes, if you are good at learning, you will become an official. The problem is that if you are not good at learning, you will not be able to make a living.
? What if I have a small talent instead of a big talent? I think that the best way to get materials is to use small talents for small uses and big talents for big uses. In the path of knowledge, every extra point you learn will be of use.
In this way, some people who are not favored by others can be willing to study, and the country can benefit from it. This should be the way to create peace for all generations, and the Grand Master and I should pursue this."
"Good, I congratulate the people of the world on meeting the Mingjun!" Zhou Yanru was brainwashed by the emperor again, and he became a thumbs-up party with excitement.
Lao Zhou believes that the emperor's remarks will definitely be recorded in the annals of history and leave a mark in history. If this matter is finally implemented, both the emperor and Lao Zhou will definitely be praised by scholars. I
When Lao Zhou was the chief minister, he colluded with the emperor to obtain preferential tax treatment for students all over the world. But, is this a betrayal of the entire scholar community? Absolutely not! I, Lao Zhou, worked hard to expand the plate that benefits from reading.
This is called exchanging small profits for big profits, sacrificing a small group of people to benefit a large group of people.
No matter how prosperous the original imperial examination system is, how many people will be able to benefit in the end? Not to mention the people who are admitted to the Jinshi and have a path to heaven, even if they are admitted to the scholar level, how many people will be there in one year on average? Based on the current number of university admissions
That is to say, basically all the people who were able to pass the scholar examination in the past have been included, and there are even wealthy people. Taken together, the profits earned by passing the scholar examination are actually not much different from the profits earned by normal students now. Scholars
Part of the tax is exempted, but you may not get a long-term salary! Now if you work as a teacher in a middle school, you can get a salary of about thirty taels of silver dollars a year, and you can put this money into your grave.
The real big loss after the restructuring is which part of the people were able to pass the Jinshi and Juren examinations, and how many people in the world were admitted to the Jinshi and Juren examinations? Among the scholars, less than half of them. So the entire Ming Dynasty New Deal,
The people who benefit the most are the scholars. The vast number of lower-class scholars should support the New Deal the most. The New Deal has turned their future from a small narrow road into a broad avenue.
In the past, what was the ability to read a little and know some words? A lot of people who couldn't study lived a life that even butchers looked down on, and it was difficult to make ends meet. But now, as long as you read a little, you can find a future.
Chances are, if you become a teacher in a junior high school, you won't starve to death, and you can support a small family. If you are a little more ambitious, if you join the army, you will be able to live in the imperial court for the rest of your life, and maybe even become an official.
If you do a detailed calculation, it seems that the entire major restructuring cost much more money than the benefits that were cancelled! Anyway, the taxes collected after the people pay for the food as one, will definitely not be able to cover the expenses of so many people who are relying on the financial system.
Zi. But that’s not how the accounts are calculated! The biggest gain from the entire restructuring is that the scavenging class has become a working class. The court has increased expenditures, but the money spent has been replaced by labor force.
The labor in this world is not only valuable, but non-coolie labor can also create value. The simplest truth: with more officials, the court has stronger control over the people, and its ability to generate income increases exponentially. Spend money.
It's not a problem. The key is whether the gains after spending money are positive, whether it can be exchanged for an increase in national strength, and whether it can make the entire country's plate bigger.
Qin Gang is an academic from a small village near Baoding Prefecture. He studied hard for some time in his early years. However, he failed to gain any fame and his family was completely ruined. The family's original land of more than forty acres was completely destroyed.
There are only five or six acres left. His family's forty acres of land are all good irrigated land. They are the ancestral property accumulated by several generations of the family. After twenty years of studying, it has become like this. It can be said that it is...
A standard prodigal. Of course, Qin Gang cannot bear the blame alone. The rapid decline of the family is also related to the general environment. In these years, Beizhili has encountered several severe droughts and several rounds of military disasters.
, their family is not the only one whose family has declined? As long as there are no hard connections in the family, whose family has not declined? The difference is just in degree.
Five or six acres of land, even if it is irrigated, cannot support a family. In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen's reign, two elderly people in Lao Qin's family died of hunger and disease, leaving only Qin Gang, his wife and two skinny children.
If the normal trend was followed, their family would probably not survive another three years. But at this time, fate changed. After Chongzhen's seventeenth year, his life actually began to get better. In the nineteenth year,
He became a member of the financial family.
When Baoding Prefecture built a junior primary school, he passed the recruitment examination and became a teacher in the town's junior primary school. The salary of a junior primary school teacher is not high, and he can get a salary of less than two taels of silver dollars a month. But the advantage is that he is
With a long flow of water, I can make money every month. With this salary and more than six acres of irrigated land at home, my life has become easier.
"Dad, the grain grown in our fields is growing very well this year. I paid the tax when harvesting the grain, and after keeping the rations, I'm afraid I can still order some food for takeout." After school, I just rode my donkey home.
My wife started nagging about things at home.
"How much can we sell for the grain we have? If we sell it all, we won't even get a few taels of silver!" Qin Gang really doesn't care much about things in the field now. The grain he brings is enough for the family to eat and drink.
, anyway, we don’t exchange money for the grain in the fields.
"Our land is too little. How about we buy a few more acres of land after autumn? I have saved most of your salary in the past two years! If we buy a few acres of land, even if you are busy teaching, I will
You can manage it even with two dolls, it won't make you busy."
"Buy land? Don't think about this again. The land price is so expensive now! When our family sold the land back then, an acre with bones and skin was only four or five taels, which was not land. Now we can irrigate the land with just a piece of water.
It only costs about ten taels of silver dollars, which is equivalent to half a year’s salary of mine. How many years will it take to recover the capital from farming?”
"But land is a family property! An extra acre of land means an additional family property, and we can also leave some wealth for the children. As a teacher, you can earn cash, but you can't leave goods for the children.
We save one or two acres of land a year, and by the time you retire, we will have almost redeemed all the land we sold before. In this way, we as a couple have not been ruined, and we will leave an explanation on our ancestors' graves."
"You, mother-in-law, are so short-sighted! According to what you said, wouldn't we be selling land in the first half of our lives and redeeming it in the second half of our lives? After all this hard work, it was all in vain! We, the Qin family, are not meant to be digging in the soil. Now we are on the ground.
There isn’t much left, and life has gone well. Don’t think about buying land anymore, and just take care of the few acres of land you have now. Wouldn’t it be better to use the money you save to buy national bonds? No need for anyone to work hard.
I also have money to collect. By the way, this summer vacation, I am going to study in my hometown. It will take more than a month. I won’t have to worry about the things in the land. You and your baby can spend more time. I am also thinking about buying land. Our family is here.
With more manpower and land, how can we take care of it? If you save land all your life, you won’t be able to be a landlord who can afford to live on the land, so why waste all your efforts!”
"Dad, are you going to study in the mansion during the summer vacation? Will you still be paid a salary while you are studying?"
"Hey! I'm not a paid laborer. I receive money from the court. Why don't I get a salary when I'm studying? Let me tell you, this time I go to the government to study, food, food, accommodation, and travel expenses are reimbursed.
After passing the exam after further studies, I will go to the town to teach in the newly established elementary school. My salary will be increased by 400 yuan a month! I can get more than five taels of silver dollars in a year. How many acres of land can I buy to have so much net income?
Income? Instead of buying land, it is better to let the children study for a few more years. When I was studying a few years ago, many people said that studying is useless without fame and fame. They joked that our family would starve to death sooner or later, but now I still have the nerve to smile.
?If we don’t study, our family can eat from the imperial court every month! The emperor and the imperial court are sages, and the reform is really good."
