Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 488 The insane behavior of "Donglin Newspaper", good one can only concentrate on solving problems, and has no moral character!

Zhang Haogu's policy towards scholars is two points.

Differentiate, win over!
He also knew that after he finished tormenting Confucius, he would inevitably be opposed by scholars all over the world.

It is also very clear that the ideal cannot be eaten as a meal.

Then, it is necessary to divide the scholars.

The scholars are also divided into those who have money and those who have no money.

Rich scholars naturally have no shortage of books to read. They can find the best Confucian scholars, and they can study the questions over and over again for the upcoming imperial examination. Before the scientific examination, they can get the examiner’s article to read. To understand the thoughts of the examiners, so as to write articles that meet the wishes of these examiners.

They have a lot of time to figure out the scriptures and articles, and they also have money to hire great Confucians to give lectures. Naturally, this type of people is easy to stand out and stand out. They don't worry about imperial examinations. took the best position.

Those who have no money may not be able to obtain the status of scholars without money. This group of people may be literate, or they may have read the Four Books and Five Classics, but it is difficult for them to get a good education. The exams are passed again and again, and they don't have enough time to study.

Not to mention trying to figure out the mind of the examiner and write an article that satisfies the examiner. They spend their entire lives seeking the status of a juren. As long as they have this level of status, they can naturally become a master. Become a master, and maybe your next generation can get a relatively good starting point.

However, there are very few such masters. As for being able to become a Jinshi in high school, from a poor family to the number one scholar in the country, this kind of person is a genius among geniuses.

Of course, those who fail the exam may not necessarily be real waste.

For example, Huang Chao, Hong Xiuquan, and Zhu Yuanzhang who didn't even take the imperial examination.

To some extent, the existence of Donglin Academy is to give some poor students the opportunity to read more books and learn more classics.

Although the trained officials are the spokespersons of interest groups, there is also an additional channel for poor students to rise up.

And Zhang Haogu is a big subversion.

He told this group of poor scholars.

In fact, you don’t necessarily have to go to the imperial examination. The same is true for the civil servant examination. The imperial examination is to go to the inside. Taking the civil service examination may not be a bright road. Although you start from a small official, you may not be an official. .

If you look at Shandong, how many people come from government officials.

This group of people, can you say that they are not officials?

The appearance of "Da Ming Pao" moved the minds of these poor scholars.

No matter how Donglin Academy is, you always have to spend money to go in and study, and, before you become an official, you have no income before you get ahead.

But now, even if you start as a small official, you still have the opportunity to be promoted.

Moreover, the benefits for you are quite good.

If you live frugally, you can save at least ten taels of silver a year.

With this money, how much food and clothing can be taken care of?

No, food and clothing are all prepared for you.

Regular clothes throughout the year, at least eight sets.

The most excessive is!

The content of this test is too simple, right?
Just fill in the blanks?
Wouldn't it be enough to memorize the text directly?
At worst, just look at Zhang Haogu's materialism, and then study a little bit of arithmetic.

This government official is also simple and ruthless.

Many people were moved.

In this way, Zhang Haogu's goal is achieved, making a sharp contrast between the poor and the rich.

In an instant, the article written by Zhang Haogu attracted the attention of some poor scholars.

Regardless of whether what Zhang Haogu said makes sense or not, this is what the exam needs to test.

Things have come to this, and it should have come to an end.

But the "Donglin Daily" still did one thing.

Fan the flames.

Because a large number of scholars have begun to study "Materialism" and mathematics, and more people have begun to choose the path of government officials.

Naturally, this aroused the vigilance of the gentry class.

If this group of people entered the officialdom, or even started as a small official, the consequences would be very serious.

This means that the system of discourse power established by the gentry and the aristocratic family has been challenged.

In the past, the gentry would only fool this group of low-level scholars to be happy to be a small town as a tester. Don’t think about these things. If you fail the exam, it’s not because we gentry block your way. The way out is not that we occupy educational resources, but because you are stupid, you are stupid.

It's because you haven't worked hard enough, why can't you look for the reason from yourself?

Why can't you devote more time to reading? Even if you don't have any books to read, you can still plow the fields, work hard, and then buy books to read.

The civil service examination is to pull everyone to the same starting line.

The exam content is simple and not that complicated.

Mathematical questions can even give you standard answers, as long as you are willing to study hard, you are on the same starting line as this group of gentry, and then, the next step is to see how your political achievements are.

The gentry were dumbfounded.

How could they have managed to build a discourse power system that could be easily defeated?
So, they carefully concocted an article.

Do everything possible to belittle the civil service examination, thinking that it is not the real selection of outstanding talents.

Originally, how you want to spray it is all your own business, but at the end of this article, it just mocked this group of poor scholars.

In this way, this group of poor scholars knows how to bury their heads in the problem, and they have no time to cultivate their own morality and character.

Describe this group of questioners in a condescending tone, claiming that no matter how hard they try, they will not be able to become good officials. A real good official should take the imperial examination, and they should come from a gentry family like them.

In this way, it is natural to poke a hornet's nest.

This is like Yi Xueba, you go through the back door and go through the back door, and you still have to set yourself up as a student bully, but there is a group of vested interests who are superior and ridiculed the small town as the problem.

That high-ranking face, one mouthful of gangsters, one mouthful of small towns, is what really breaks people's defenses.

These scholars were angry.

I was indeed greedy for the welfare of this government official, but didn't I just rely on my ability to take the test?
The scholar was angry, and was blown away by this arrogant attitude.
