Chapter 632 Religious Issues
"The list is out!" This year's imperial examination came to an end without realizing it. The list of the three Jinshis has begun to be announced, and some people are happy and some are worried.
Especially those who have not passed the Jinshi exam three or four times in a row have begun to consider whether to do other jobs or not. Whether there is any need to continue to participate in the imperial examination.
Liu Tao made the imperial examination that the imperial examination can only be a regulation before the age of forty. To a certain extent, it really allows them to face the imperial examination calmly. It is not a good thing for a family to pass the imperial examination if they are 70 years old.
Especially he did not stipulate that the juren could be exempted from rent or something. At most, the exemption of corvee service is not very meaningful. After all, the voluntary corvee service has ended. Now that corvee service is required to be charged, three meals a day and wages are required.
Of course, whether to directly waive three meals a day or subsidize some meal expenses is still being discussed. Some local officials think that in order to get a few more days of meals, the people may slow down the construction progress.
Before Liu Tao traveled through time, he seemed to have a little different question about the working meals, whether they were free or subsidized. He did not force him to discuss it, just don’t embezzle funds.
"This year is a great harvest?" Liu Tao looked at the list and there were 200 people on the list. As before, it was a very good harvest. The reason was roughly clear, there was a lack of a large number of officials in various parts of the Central Plains.
In addition, it is about to launch an attack on the four counties of Hanzhong and Jingnan, and a large number of officials will be required to add them to it.
They have always said that they should strictly select students. In fact, in the face of insufficient officials, the examiners subconsciously relaxed the standards for selecting students. Of course, they did not completely fail to comply with them. For example, the admission standards for Bingzhou have increased.
Otherwise, at least 400 people would be on the list this time.
"Don't underestimate the big families. The children in their families all have high knowledge. The rest is to adapt to the imperial examination model and explore it, which is about once or twice." Jian Yong reminded.
In the past, when I was filial and honest, I had two or three filial and honest people a year. How many children could there be in the family? The wives and concubines and sons are not considered premature, but there are five or six people. This is still the number of people in the same room.
There are twenty or thirty children in the family, and there are more than thirty people from the hundreds who specialize in studying and preparing for the imperial examination. Conservatively, there are five or six who can pass the exam.
This is still the same family. If so many families are together, two hundred are really nothing.
In a sense, the imperial examination system is more convenient for the children of these families to become officials. After all, their family is too big, with people who specialize in farmland and business. When there is no worries about money and food, their children can concentrate on studying.
Unlike the ordinary people who are self-taught and self-taught, they have to work and study to a large extent.
The advanced nature of the imperial examination is that it at least ensures that more ordinary people can have the opportunity to become officials. At least, it will not allow poor families and ordinary people to have no chance to change their destiny without relying on the wealthy family.
"I have never underestimated them, so I have the imperial examination." Liu Tao sighed, "Prepare for the palace examination... By the way, where has our army gone?"
It has been more than ten days, and the front line should have started, but I don’t know how far it is.
"Your Majesty, Jingzhou is a bit far away from Luoyang, and the military situation cannot come so quickly. It usually takes a report once every half a month. At the same time, if there is an emergency, I will send someone to report it at the moment." Jian Yong reminded.
"I'm asking about Hanzhong..." Liu Tao was speechless. Of course he knew this.
"On the way south, in the slanting valley, General Zhao had encountered three consecutive attacks, but the enemy had been repelled and our army had not received any damage. The problem is that he did not kill the attacking enemy to the greatest extent." Jian Yong reported.
What a coincidence, just two days ago, someone had just sent to report, otherwise I wouldn't be able to answer.
I have to sigh here that the Ministry of War sent Zhang Yan to a party. He is a black bandit himself and is very familiar with the battles in the mountains and forests. He is even as cautious as to how to be wary of the enemy troops who are ambushed in the mountains and forests and may give you some questions at any time.
With planned defense, the enemy's three attacks failed and hundreds of people were left behind. However, compared with the number of thousands of people on the other side, this is nothing.
"According to the situation reported..." Jian Yong immediately added, "The ones who came to attack Hanzhong were not the officers and soldiers, but more like barbarians. The Jinyiwei had reported that Zhang Lu and Banfeng were old, so they might have invited barbarian soldiers to help. In short, Zhang Lu had nearly 30,000 soldiers under his command. The worst thing is that the people of Hanzhong have a high recognition of Zhang Lu."
This is not a question of whether it is high or not, but that most civilians have almost joined the Five Dogs of Rice Sect...
Zhang Lu raised his arm and directly pulled out a militia team of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands. The combat effectiveness was terrible. The problem was that after killing, the entire Hanzhong would inevitably be seriously damaged.
This Zhang Lu is not a real immortal family, how could he fool so many people so easily?
It is because the people cannot survive, their spirits are easily exploited, or they are simply to find a spiritual sustenance. Otherwise, could there be any treasure in Zhang Lu's hands that can cast magic?
No, no, if Zhang Lu really relied on displaying the "miracle" to gain the trust of the church, the Jinyiwei would not have been able to find out.
That only means that people in this era are relatively simple, or that faith is completely deserted, so it is easy for these religious elements to take advantage of the situation, right?
Thinking of the later localized Buddhism, such as Huihui and Christianity, Liu Tao felt that in the field of religion, he might have to support an obedient religion.
Otherwise, we can only popularize materialist ideas and directly pull all the members into the Science and Technology God Cult. Unfortunately, the most powerful science of Science and Technology God Cult is to deny metaphysics, at least before metaphysics is proven to be science, denying the existence of gods and ghosts.
However, if metaphysics is proven to be science, then it is still a victory for the Technological God...
Unfortunately, he is still under the name of an immortal disciple. Do you still deny that there are no immortals in this world and that his spell is fake... I guess it will only be considered by others as a way to cover up the truth, and have any plans to not sue others.
In other words, we must support a religion. Even Buddhism, even before it is localized, there is still a way to go. It would be good if we don’t suppress it before.
