Chapter 259 The Zheng family must die

——Zheng Zhilong is shameless!

As time entered the end of April, with the trial of writing, Zheng Zhilong's jokes began to spread throughout Fujian, not the entire southern country.

Who has ever seen a "scientific examination" that admits thousands of people at one time?

Who has ever seen the "morning court" who even won't let go of the "land-driving men"? Zheng Zhilong extended a helping hand to those "land-driving men". Anyone who is willing to go south can follow, and no one can stop it.

Zheng Zhilong was too greedy, even the Tartars were not as good as Li Shun from Chang'an, and even the Daxi in Chengdu. He really threw away the "morial court" face.

Jiangnan Shilin didn't know how to laugh at Zheng Zhilong. What were the people he recruited? He didn't even have the qualifications to carry shoes to famous scholars.

The content of the written test that had been completely clear about the questions caused many people to sneer in Jiangnan.

"Can such a person manage the country?"

What this is about is about those civil servants, but in fact it is Zheng Zhilong who is mocking him.

At the same time, these scholars and celebrities also firmly hostile to Zheng Zhilong. That is a heresy, a heresy that will pollute the air for one more day.

In the eyes of the upper class of this era, the fame of the imperial examination has a very sacred status.

That is the only way for ordinary people to enter the class - although business people can make money, if they do not have the protection of scholars, they will be fat sheep in the eyes of officials.

Military households and noble children had a good status in founding fashion, but later generations were worse than the next, and were increasingly looked down upon.

Therefore, for these upper-class families, letting future generations take the scientific examination and achieve fame is the only way to maintain the prosperity of the family. Once a person has fame and fortune in the field, he does not need others to remind him, and they will know that they have become different.

This is the social cognition and social values ​​formed under the overall social environment.

As a result, although Zheng Zhilong’s “Imperial Examination” was still in the examination mode, compared with the imperial examination where thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, it was too sarcastic and unconventional.

With a wave of hands, there were thousands of people, and the test questions were so simple. It was no longer a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge, but an unobstructed sunny avenue.

Those civil servants are not considered true "scholars". They are just good at writing and literacy, and can make accounts and keep accounts.

Zheng used his practical actions to express his attitude - it is never a joke to communicate with officials.

In this way, it is very likely that the "Imperial Examination" in the Zheng family will no longer be the Ming imperial examination that scholars are familiar with, but is the "written test" that everyone can come in and take a look.

This legal status is extremely bad. If the Zheng family in the future has this path of honor, wouldn’t the world take the source of the literature and moral articles lightly?

The Ming Dynasty imperial examinations were elected officials, so the number of people was naturally very small.

The Zheng family chose clerks in the "Imperial Examination" and the base is more than ten times or a hundred times that of the former?

If the officials of the Zheng family were selected from the clerks, then the imperial examinations of the Zheng family could only be written tests, and only written tests were required.

This is called how the Jinshi, the juren and even scholars who rushed out of the single-plank bridge, who split thousands of troops, and scholars, should be dealt with by themselves?

None of them could climb to a social level that exceeded the vast majority of people by relying on the "Four Books and Five Classics" and stood out directly in the power structure framework of the entire society.

They must split a path from the clerks' "thousands of troops" and go to a higher peak. Is this more difficult? I will just say that the advancement model of such a social rights class is completely different from the "path" of the Ming society.

In the Ming Dynasty, the articles of the Four Books, Five Classics and Eight Essays were used to split the great way and directly enter the level of "officials"; but the Zheng family needed to use practical skills and visible achievements to split the road to climb upward.

This is a traitor in the eyes of scholars.

Not to mention, in the world of Ming Dynasty, those who want to go on the road of studying must have money at home, at least a few acres of thin land, or show their extraordinary intelligence and premature wisdom and then be supported by the clan. The latter's representative is Hong Chengchou, and even Chen Nanguang. Otherwise, you are not "qualified" to study and practice literature.

But what about the Zheng family’s world? The threshold is much lower. It was an “elite society” before, but now it is directly the general public.

It seems that it was originally my own private area, but now everyone can come to visit. How can this satisfy the gentry and gentry?

They walked through the single-plank bridge of life and finally achieved the promotion of the family class. The love between the descendants is huge.

First, financial resources, second, faculty resources, and then human relationships.

Their descendants can stand out early with their wealthy family, better faculty and social resources. Step by step, and walk relatively easily to a position that exceeds 90% of the people in the world - Jinban title, Jinshi Master.

But what about the Zheng family? It seems that no matter how good the resource is, it can only make you become a clerk. Before, it directly surpassed 99% of the people in the world, but now it can only surpass half of the people in the world, not even a few.

The competitive pressure has been directly magnified by ten times, is there a hundred times?

More importantly, this breaks the monopoly of some people over the resources of ‘official positions’ to some extent.

Any gentry class who has seen all this regards Zheng Zhilong as his mortal enemy, and no one is willing to watch the prosperity of the "Zheng Family World".

Such a Zheng family will make them uncomfortable even if they exist for a day.

Not to mention that the eight-legged essays they learned since childhood were useless, and the Zheng family’s written and written test was not tested at all.

This is not a "heresis", but what is "heresis"?

Zheng Zhilong is using the banner of "Imperial Examination" to fight against the "Imperial Examination"!

But what makes them even more difficult is that they cannot expose their dirty thoughts on the surface - because the disadvantages of clerks have been a stubborn disease for thousands of years. Zheng Zhilong is now under the banner of eliminating this stubborn disease. In addition, he can now openly say that this is not an imperial examination, but just a small written test.

He was also a minister of the Ming Dynasty, so how could he open an imperial examination and win a scholar by himself?

Zheng Zhilong has some excuses and some excuses.

What even asked some distinguished celebrities such as Qian Qianyi to vomit blood was that the Newspaper also shaking the flag and shouting for Zheng Zhilong with the title "The prime minister must start from the state department, and the powerful general must be sent from the soldiers." It also won the praise of countless people.

That is an old Chinese saying, and it is an old saying that everyone agrees with.

What can the vast gentry class do when facing this class enemy? There are only vicious curses again and again. By the way, they also connected to the Newspaper!

Qian Qianyi was even sure that the Newspaper was inseparable from Zheng Zhilong.

It was at this moment that a "big shock" suddenly came to Quanzhou, which not only caused the Fujian earthquake to be terrible. The news spread to Jiangnan, but also caused an uproar in the world.

In the seven counties of Quanzhou Prefecture, hundreds of rural clans, more than 200 scholars and more than 30 juren, their homes were searched by Zheng Zhilong overnight.

The small clans in the countryside are not seen by others, only tens of thousands of people. Immigration will immigrate, and they are all inconspicuous little shrimps.

But scholars and juren were influential. These were the seeds of scholars or scholars. Zheng Zhilong was forcibly "spent" to Luzon overseas thousands of miles away. Although Zheng's obvious statement was that they voluntarily moved to Luzon and planned to educate the indigenous people.

But what about the genius.

In the eyes of the world, Zheng Zhilong felt that he was going to the wild land of Luzon, so he packed up and took away some seeds of scholars, so as not to turn his territory into a wilderness country.

Then, if you ced the land thousands of miles away, you are called lonely and widowed, and there are not even a literati in the country. This is hard to call it "the world is rich and the world is rich and the land is beautiful."

Therefore, beyond Zheng Zhilong's expectations, he thought that his actions would cause disgrace, but he did not expect that he would get some inexplicable "mercy" and malicious ridicule.

After Zheng Zhilong served the king and rescued the emperor, his whole body changed, and all kinds of bad things never stopped. Starting from plotting on Ding Qingtian, it became the source of sin in the eyes of the gentry in Quanzhou, and the subsequent "opening the imperial examination and seizing the scholars" was even more so.

I finally got a chance to watch him joke, but I should laugh a few more loudly?

Zheng Zhilong also laughed at this.

At the end of April, he went north from Xinjing, and Xinjing was Manila. Zheng Zhilong used this name to further convey the news to Jinling. In fact, Emperor Chongzhen did laugh happily after learning the news.

From Xinjing to Lingyanwan, then all the way to Taoyuan.

Zheng Zhilong did not go to Tainan, but stopped the boat in the chicken coop. This is the key construction site of Zheng Jun on Dayuan Island recently, from dry docks to docks, warehouses, and even shipyards, you can see it here.

This is a strategic base operated by Zheng Jun on the north of the island. Who said that its geographical location is so superior? It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is surrounded by harbors in the north. At the entrance are Heping Island and Tangpan Island crossing the gateway, forming a natural breakwater.

Not to mention that the surrounding fishery resources are rich and there is also a coal mine with considerable reserves - the Japanese dig for fifty years but didn't dig it all, and it was not until the 1970s that Zheng Zhilong didn't make any reason not to operate it.

"Father. The child wants to take Erlang to take a good walk and take a look." Zheng Sen asked Zheng Zhilong for his appointment, but the latter would of course not refuse. He went to listen to Zheng Tai's report.

Now it’s time to get busy farming, but it’s time to pay public grain.

The public grain under the Zheng family was transported to the grain station by the farmers themselves, rather than tax collectors and yamen runners went to the village to collect.

"Look at that long team."

Zheng Sen pointed to a long queue in front of a grain station. He could see the unstable rule of the government, and only the enthusiasm of the people when paying grain and paying taxes.

Although Zheng Ping had never paid public grain in person, he had heard of how tax collectors collected public grain in the countryside. Whether in Hirado or in Nagasaki, he could hear about the urging of grain every year.

He looked around and saw that there were many ordinary people preparing to pay public grain outside the barbed wire of the grain station. They were all two trucks in a row, and a long queue lined up for several miles.

These people were wearing sweatshirts and short jackets, and they all carried baskets, but were pulling big trucks, not just one person. A flatbed truck was generally followed by three or four people, with food bags full of food bags. Because before it was their turn, these people smoked pipes and drank water, and were still chatting with each other, with a cheerful look between their eyebrows and eyes.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe it." Zheng Ping seemed to have an answer in his heart.

Zheng Sen laughed: "The grain tax set by his father is not high. The official has fertile land and there is no shortage of rain. As long as he is not lazy, how can he not pay public grain easily?"

"In addition, there are countless large and small projects on this island. In addition to recruiting Minzhuang to serve, the General Administration will even spread a lot of money, grain and hiring people's strength. As long as you are not lazy, you can spend three or five months to work every year, and the money and grain you earn will be enough for the family to spend."

"Anyway, as long as you are willing to work, there will be no one who starves to death." Zheng Sen drew a big circle in front of his eyes and circled everyone in. "What kind of life did they live under the Ming Dynasty? It's busy all year round, and there's no dry food for the New Year's Eve dinner. I can't eat enough and I can't wear warm clothes. Now that I have a good life now, they may be my Zheng family foundation?"
