Chapter 37 Nine-Rank Sanctuary
But this is an inevitable trend in historical development. If you want to become a civilian society at once, it is not based on the will of someone.
Therefore, Xu Qilin only tried his best to improve the imperial examinations and tried his best to clear obstacles for poor students in the system.
For example, the Tang Dynasty imperial examination was not absent. The paper belongs to whom it is all made public. Since the paper is not absent, the examiner is prone to fake it when changing the papers and accepting it.
Secondly, the admission at that time was mainly based on the academic performance, but on the family background and social reputation of the candidate. If there was a backstage and strong relationships, the probability of passing the exam would definitely be extremely high.
Moreover, the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty only had one origin and did not necessarily have to be named an official. They also had to pass the examination presided over by the Ministry of Personnel, that is, they could become officials.
Generally speaking, the selection of the examination is just a formality, and the content of the examination is relatively simple. This is considered that the selection of the imperial examination is not professional talents, but poor professional ability and cannot directly serve as an official. The selection of the examination is mainly legal documents, etc.
However, since ordinary students do not have the opportunity to access this content, the children of aristocratic families have a relatively large advantage in the selection. Because the disciples of aristocratic families have family education and have officials in their families, they are more familiar with laws and regulations and official documents.
Therefore, Xu Qilin mainly started from these aspects and wrote in detail, but basically included them all, and proposed solutions.
For example, the "famous examination schools" that began in the Song Dynasty, locking the school system, copying, and "grant coupons" and "gongshizhuang" that provided financial support for poor children to participate in the imperial examinations.
Xu Qilin was still not satisfied when he was about to stop writing. After thinking for a while, he added the sentence "Be a farmer in the morning and ascends to the emperor's hall in the evening."
How about it, you're so cool! That won't work, let's do this. You want some advice and advice, and we'll get it for you in the time of drinking a little wine.
Xu Qilin was very proud and was ready to think carefully and modify it. This is not a random composition. At worst, the teacher gave him a zero egg. This is for Li Er to show him, and he wanted to change his official title!
At this moment, my family came to report that Xiao Zhao had returned to his house, and even the palace servants came to pass the imperial edict.
Although Xu Qilin was dissatisfied, he could not give anything to him. Wouldn’t he be a fool?
When he arrived at the hall, Xu Qilin showed his rituals and stood up respectfully and responded to the order.
That's right, before the mid-Tang Dynasty, ministers sat and received imperial edicts. Even when they went to court, they sat on both sides, without standing there.
What's more, there are several types of imperial edicts, including sages, hand-orders, oral edicts and edicts, among which the edicts are the most formal.
Li Er's imperial edict was a handwritten edict, casual. But the content made Xu Qilin unexpectedly surprised.
It turned out that in addition to giving 500 mu of land and 500 pieces of brocade and silk in the handwriting, Xu Qilin also gave a small official - Wen Linlang.
Haha, Li Er finally figured it out. It was the wind blowing by my sister. It’s so harsh to hear the grass and grass people!
Although Wen Linlang is only a nine-rank official and is one level higher than the last-class general Shilang, he is at least a regular or deputy, and he is still the kind of person who doesn't work and gets his salary.
After receiving the imperial edict, Xu Qilin was very happy and sent the palace servant away. He took the light blue ninth-grade official uniform and stone back to the room to try it on.
As for the work clothes, they are a bit big, and they are just enough. Anyway, they don’t wear them normally. In Chang'an, throwing a brick can hit a first-grade and second-grade boss. Don’t wear them out and embarrass you.
After putting away the official uniform and the stone belt, Xu Qilin wanted to sit down and sort out the draft he had just taken, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
Let’s talk about this invention, why didn’t the expected results be obtained?
Although the Tang Dynasty did not call original scientific and technological inventions and creation disdainfully "strange skills and tricks" like later feudal dynasties, and regarded innovation and creation as inaction, and only by studying the Four Books and Five Classics is the right way.
However, the society at that time did not encourage and guide craftsmen to innovate scientific and technologically, and the definition of talents was still biased towards knowledge and articles.
Of course, Xu Qilin still has no idea of studying hard to achieve success, and still insists on the life path he has already thought of.
Perhaps the ancient feudal ruler, namely His Majesty Li Er, may not pay much attention to other scientific and technological inventions. However, they will still look at the agricultural and military industries and will generously reward them.
The reason is very simple. Agriculture and military are the foundation and reliance of the dynasty's stability. They have worked hard to maintain and develop throughout the dynasties.
Xu Qilin slapped his thighs and figured it out. It was not that his own way was wrong, but that he was young, His Majesty Li Er deliberately suppressed it, or that he had the intention of an old lady.
I guess I was worried that if I had an official title, I would not be enterprising and would not study hard, so I would become a talent in their minds.
Hey! I guessed it right. I just used the idea of enjoying and being at ease and having fun?
Thinking of this, Xu Qilin was a little hesitant. Should he still write a letter and offer advice and continue to work hard to be granted official positions and promote titles?
Of course, he is now an official, although this official position is equivalent to encouragement and rewards, and it is of no use except for a small salary.
But if you think about it carefully, 500 acres of fertile land and 500 pieces of brocade and silk are a very generous reward. It is a landlord who has no worries about food and clothing, and it is about the same salary as the official title.
Besides, there is also a brother! He was awarded an official position and promoted to the title at a young age. Where did he put his face on him?
It is estimated that Li Er and his sister thought of this, so they reluctantly fulfilled their intentions, gave a small official a chance to calm down, and study hard.
Tsk! Xu Qilin curled his lips and waved his hand, thinking: Since that's the case, let's hold back our abilities first and wait until we get older before we seek credit and rewards.
Now, when you have money, you have to make money. The right way is to build our holiday villa first and enjoy life well.
Thinking of this, Xu Qilin put away the draft he wrote in a few seconds and stuffed it under the inkstone.
…………………
During the Tang and Song dynasties, the huqin was both a string-pulling instrument and a string-pulling instrument, but most people mainly played string-pulling instruments.
Xu Qilin found Carpenter Sun, added and adjusted the grip of the huqin, and set the sound of the inner and outer strings. He asked the servant to go to the horse shed to cut out a few ponytail hairs, carefully transformed the bow, put the ponytail hairs on it, adjust it without being tight or loose, and then slowly pull it, taste the sound quality, and make some fine adjustments from time to time.
The modern Erhu has five positions and a wider range. This huqin - Xu Qilin, tried to pull it, master the position of the finger and the rules of the rhythm. After finding all seven sounds, just use it!
Xiao Zhao sat at the desk under the shade of the tree and was doing the homework assigned by Xu Qilin seriously.
Literary poetry cannot be taught. Perhaps Xiao Zhao has better mastery of rhyme than Xu Qilin. The only thing he can be proud of and teach his younger sister is mathematics.
