The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 455
"It's up to you, some are more than a year old, and some are even four or five years old!" Chen shi looked at Qi Yaoyao with bright eyes and said, "Some children are connected to one another, so they must be broken. morning."

"It's been too long since I stopped eating, and it's not good for the child's health." Qi Yaoyao's dark pupils looked at her and shook her head slightly.

"Then when do you want to be weaned?" Chen's black and white eyes looked at her and asked.

"It's too cold at this time, we'll talk about it when it gets warmer next year." Qi Yaoyao looked at her and said after thinking about it.

"Okay! When it's not hot or cold, you're not guilty." Chen shi said with a smile, and said with some regret, "You, a married couple in the filial period, can't have the same room."

Immediately, he said, "That's fine, as long as the body is healthy, I will give birth to a younger brother for Dongdong. This time interval is just right."

Qi Yaoyao's mouth twitched when she heard the words, it was clear.But she hadn't thought about whether or not to have a second child!

"There are brothers and there are helpers, so you won't be alone." Chen said with great regret, "It's too lonely like Heng'er. To be honest, there is no one to help in this fight."

"Fight?" Qi Yaoyao looked at her suspiciously and said.

"Yeah! If you don't have any brothers in the countryside, and you don't have any helpers in fights, you will suffer a lot." Chen shi looked at her with black and white eyes and said.

Qi Yaoyao shook her head and laughed when she heard the words, and suddenly asked curiously, "Will our county magistrate fight?"

"He! Don't look at tall people, they won't." Chen said with some disgust, "It's just to scare and scare people."

"There's no hope that my son will fight." Qi Yaoyao said with a chuckle, "Don't fight. If you lose, watch Langzhong, if you win, you will go to jail!"

"The clan is powerful, this is really going to be done, but the county government can't control it." Chen shi slightly raised his lips and said arrogantly.

Qi Yaoyao's face was full of black lines when she heard the words, and there was a sentence that said: The imperial power does not belong to the county, but the clan belongs to the county.

What did the gentleman say?They are intellectuals in the wild, local elites.

The statement that "imperial power cannot go down to the county" cannot be considered absolute. Under the large-scale imperial power policies such as taxation and military service, it is definitely possible to go down to the county. This statement refers to the vast territory of the country. A kind of relative autonomy.

This relative autonomy gave the gentry an informal power and became a ruling class that was not subordinate to the central imperial power.

Many people think that literati and gentry can also be considered to be the same group, but even if the meaning of gentry is broader, it is precisely to be distinguished from literati.

Although "scholars" and "doctors" belonged to the bottom of the ruling class, they were still part of the official ruling power.

The biggest difference between the two lies in this. Before the imperial examination system existed, the clan clansmen must have their ancestors who served as officials in the court, and then there would be gentry children like scholar-bureaucrats.

The imperial examination provided opportunities for big families, clans, and landowners of common clans. In order to develop and protect these relatively powerful groups in the environment of feudal society, the most important thing was to cultivate a scholar who could pass the imperial examination.

And can ordinary families cultivate such readers?In fact, there were very few. During the feudal period, it belonged to the economy of scarcity, and few people had sufficient economic conditions to study. The farmers worked in the fields for a long time to earn a living income. Production and study were mutually exclusive. .

Although the imperial examination system has greatly reduced the limitation of room for improvement, it is not an exaggeration to say that children from poor peasant families want to study and become officials.

"Ten years of cold windows" definitely doesn't refer to "poor families". Mencius said, "Those who work hard will find food for others." Only those who rely on other people's support can study and study.Only landlords and big families have the ability to send the younger generation to study and take the imperial examinations.

Historically, corruption was on a large scale like the Ming Dynasty, and there were not many officials like "Heshen" in the Qing Dynasty, and the risk was very high.Corruption of officials represents the loss of royal wealth. Most emperors cannot tolerate this kind of behavior. Being an official cannot bring direct economic benefits. So why do these big families train young people to become officials?

It's very simple, the original motive must be to protect the whole family after becoming an official, the so-called "one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven".Therefore, after these officials took office, under the environment of continuously strengthening the centralization of power for more than 1000 years, they naturally did not have any ideals and ambitions to change the country and improve people's livelihood.

Returning home is the best destination for most officials. When they return home, they can still be landlords and have a high degree of voice in local affairs. This is what we call "gentlemen".

The gentry can be officials who have returned home, or senior officials who are highly respected, or educated landlords. When they become gentry, they bid farewell to "formal power" and move towards "informal power".

The power of the gentry clan is unimaginable. When this official takes office, he must first come to worship the wharf, without their approval. If you want to sit safely and securely in the position of the county magistrate, you must rely on the power of the gentry and local elites.

In the final analysis, they are all about safeguarding their own interests, colluding with officials, squeezing the common people, humming... The local tyrants and evil gentry are destined to be swept into the garbage heap of history.

"It's not easy for our county magistrate to wear the black gauze cap firmly!" Qi Yaoyao sighed with emotion.

"Pingyi County is small and has a small population, so Mo County Chancellor and Chief Bookkeeper Zhou have a great career and a great power." Chen shi smiled and said, "In the beginning, whether it was business or life, they gave us a lot of help. Stumble."

Qi Yaoyao looked at her in astonishment and said, "Have a hatred for hatred, I thought you would let the county magistrate fight with them and rectify them."

"I originally thought so, but I've brought them to justice. This newcomer, who knows if this is a black heart!" Chen shi said in a low voice, "It's just like Heng'er said that the water will come to you. There are no fish in the Qing Dynasty, even if you take money, but you do it, don't add obstacles to Heng'er, and hold you back." He said helplessly, "This is officialdom."

"This child can't sit still." Chen Shi pointed to the eldest grandson in her arms.

Qi Yaoyao hurriedly carried him to the screen, then came back and put him on the kang.

Dongdong climbed under the window sill with both hands and feet, stood up with the help of the window sill, and looked out through the window eagerly.

The window lattice is not glass, but the window paper, which is opaque and can't see anything.
