Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 16 Filial Piety

People without thought, he must worry about.

Before entering the Stud Casino, it is Jia Liu's consistent principle in dealing with people that he must save some money for buying buns.

This is called not going to the end of the road.

By the same token, you cannot put all your eggs in one basket.

Even if He Shen really tried to find a way for the Jia family to raise the flag, this undeveloped He Zhongtang belonged to a soft-spoken existence. Even if he really wanted to ask Ying Lian for help out of the Gao family's face, it might not be possible.

After all, it was Qianlong who appointed the grandpa of the Jia family as the second minister, and it was the little bastard Fu Chang'an who got the Jia family into the flag list.

As far as the sky is concerned, Jia Liu estimates that the chance of his family raising the flag is at least [-]%.

Therefore, before turning from a bannerman to a Han Chinese, he had to think about what to do next, so as not to be in a hurry.

Jia Liu would definitely not do it if he broke away from the ruling class.

He is not even interested in being a businessman.

He is only interested in being an official.

The so-called good man not being an official is like walking at night in brocade clothes, like a eunuch going to a brothel-it's just boring!
Although the Jia family has half of the future, but now this half of the future falls on his father Jia Daquan, unless Jia Daquan is farting today, otherwise Jia Liu is actually nothing but the status of a bannerman.

And if Jia Daquan is really dead now, most of the half-promising Captain Yunqi will also be gone-the whole family has been kicked out of the flag, can they still receive Spyker's subsidy?Enjoy the benefits of this Spyker?
No matter which year, there are few people who give charcoal in the snow, and it is normal to make troubles.

Maybe Fu Chang'an is thinking about how to deal with the Jia family's half future.

Therefore, Jia Liu has to start the matter after raising the flag.

Let’s put aside the old lady’s birthday, Galileo vs. Lafayette. I want to make progress so I racked my brains to coax the old women to play. Your son has lost the root of his sister’s progress, and you are still coaxing your grandma .

However, Jia Liu, who had planned for the worst, had to find another shortcut to progress.

In Jialiu's previous life, a commoner wanted to enter the officialdom and become a civil servant of the imperial court. It was not a general difficulty, but a special difficulty.

But let alone the Qing Dynasty, there are many avenues.

Because the Qing Dynasty welcomed rich people to become officials, that is, it encouraged rich people to buy officials. For this reason, there is an official saying called "donation", which means selling officials publicly.

Donating money to the court can buy official work, which is actually not uncommon, and it was not the first in the Qing Dynasty, but appeared as early as the Qin Dynasty.

There has been a system of donating to officials in all dynasties, but it is not put on the table, which is an unspoken rule.This rule gave many people the opportunity to enter the officialdom, and even some talented people became officials through this channel. For example, the famous Sima Xiangru in the Han Dynasty was "a gentleman with money".

It's just that in the Qing Dynasty, the sale of officials and nobles was made public and formalized, and it was no longer hidden, sorry.

It was Qianlong’s grandfather Kangxi who first began to openly buy and sell officials and titles. The reason was that the “San Francisco Rebellion” and the Mongolian invasion in Mobei led to an extremely empty treasury of the Qing government, so they had to rely on buying and selling officials and titles to raise military pay.

At the time of his son Yongzheng, because various reforms had enriched the treasury a lot, the Yongzheng Dynasty did not sell many officials and nobles.

Compared with Lao Tzu, Yongzheng's son still has face and can handle things.

However, after the grandson Qianlong came to power, he was as shameless as his grandfather. He not only took out the system of selling officials put aside by his father, but also carried it forward!

The reason is that Qianlong has used troops too many times since he came to the throne, which caused his father's property to be basically exhausted. In order to maintain the money and food needed for the war, he could only continue his grandfather's method.

In addition, despite the fact that the 38th year of Qianlong seems to be the Shengping Festival, there are still a large number of anti-Qing organizations in the folk, such as Bailian, Tiandi, Tianli, Bagua, Qingshui, etc.These anti-Qing organizations use the slogans of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" and "anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty", and they have a certain mass base among the people.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were anti-Qing uprisings almost every year.

Although the majority are small-scale, it shows that there has always been a small group of Han people who insist on their own national heritage and do not want to be slaves to foreign invaders.

This small group of people was later defined by Zou Rong, a national hero in the late Qing Dynasty, in his book "Revolutionary Army" as "Emperor Han"—soldiers who fought and were willing to sacrifice for the rejuvenation of the Han nation.

In all dynasties, the most practical way to prevent the common people from rebelling is not to give more money to the common people.As long as the people don't starve to death, even though some people will secretly join various underground organizations, most people are still content with the status quo.

After all, there are always very few people who are willing to fight for the nation and are not afraid of sacrifice.

But it is precisely the existence of these very few people that the Han nationality has continued to flow, the country has been destroyed time after time, and the rebirth of nirvana has been reborn time after time, making the torch of Chinese civilization illuminate the East forever.

Qianlong was still very smart, he learned the lesson of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Although he has used troops almost every year since he ascended the throne for 38 years, and the scale of military use is still very large, Qianlong’s solution to financial difficulties was not to add taxes to the people, but to absorb a large amount of private funds to enrich the treasury by donating to the government. Absorb the rich (elite) among the Han Chinese into the ruling class of the Qing court.

In this way, it can not only prevent the people from rebelling against the Qing Dynasty because of excessive expropriation, but also firmly tie the Han elite to the Qing Dynasty chariot.

Even Jia Liu had to praise this point, Qianlong was much more cunning than Chongzhen.

Another reason why "donation" was popular in the Qianlong Dynasty was that there were too few officials on the right path.

The so-called right path is naturally the way to enter an official through the imperial examination, the five tributes (En, Ba, Fu, Sui, Yougong students), and Yinsheng.Among them, the imperial examinations are the most popular, but the imperial examinations are held every three years, and only 100 people are admitted each time, with an average of [-] people a year. The number of officials in the entire Qing Empire is hundreds of thousands, so it is conceivable that there is a shortage of officials. How big is it.

There is really no other way to be an official. Those officials who rely solely on the imperial examinations, the country is over long ago.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the "diverse" officials generated by donations are also in line with the actual interests of the Qing Empire and are more conducive to maintaining the rule.

Under the "donation" system, ordinary people can get official positions by donating silver to the court; students can donate silver to make themselves a tribute student supervisor, and then enter the officialdom; officials can also donate silver to increase themselves.

In this way, the court has benefited, the buyers of officials have fulfilled their wishes, and the rule from top to bottom has become more stable. Why not do it?

If you want to talk about the consequences, it is corruption.

Therefore, over the years, there have been officials from righteous backgrounds who have written letters to resist "different paths". Qianlong had to issue an edict for this a few years ago, saying that "donation is not a good thing, it is a temporary expediency and not a long-term feasible", and said that it will be appropriate It's time to stop donating.

However, it hasn't stopped until now.

There is no other reason, money chant.

Well now, Jia Liu is about to lose his status as a bannerman nobleman because the old man was designated as a second official. In order to realize his grand ambitions, he must spare no effort to take advantage of the Qing court's loopholes and poach Qianlong's corners.

Buying an official was the most practical way he could think of.

Because it is impossible for him to take the imperial examination.

The half of "The Analects of Confucius" last night had greatly reduced his wisdom.

But if he wants to buy an official, he has to pay his father Jia Daquan, and the money must not be a small amount. If the current situation of the Jia family is not good, they have to sell the house and land. For this reason, Jia Liu must do the ideological work of Daquan.

"Father, don't worry, as long as your son becomes an official, he will be filial to your old man!"

This statement is not insincere.
