Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 454
While Gao Cheng rectified Jiangnan's economy, Yu Wentai also gained something in Shu.

After years of persistent development, using various methods such as division, appeasement, and instigation of internal strife, the Western Wei regime in Shu finally subdued the Cuan people on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

The so-called Cuan people refer to the Yi people of later generations. Zhuge Wuhou adopted the strategy of using barbarians to control the barbarians when he conquered the southern barbarians, so the Cuan people grew stronger.

The Western Wei Dynasty set up Nanning Prefecture on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and officially included it in its territory, adjacent to Chen Baxian.

Facing Gao Qi's military threat, the two sides have become more and more closely connected, even reaching the point where the border between the two sides is not stationed for defense.

They both understand that if they don't join forces, they will only be sent to Luoyang, and this is something neither Chen Baxian nor Yu Wentai want to see.

However, at this time Gao Cheng has no plans to go south, he needs time to digest Jiangdong, Jiangzhou, and Jingnan.

Although Gao Cheng retained most of the officials in the south of the Yangtze River, the subsequent crackdown on corruption also caused many people to fall. Seeing this, more and more old officials of Xiao Liang chose to return to their hometowns for the elderly.

A large number of reserve officials from the Northern Qi Dynasty were sent to serve in the south of the Yangtze River. Gao Cheng had to issue an edict again, and he would open Enke to select scholars in March of the seventh year of Zhaode. The Jiangnan area that had been included in the Northern Qi system was also included in the imperial examination.

Jiangnan is not without the foundation of imperial examinations. Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan once set up the five classics examinations to open up a career path for the children of poor families.

Now that Gao Cheng has annexed Jiangnan, it is only natural that the Jiupin Zhongzheng System will be abolished.

In this time and space, Hou Jing did not slaughter the gentry, but Wu Mingche and Liu Zhongli did it for him. The difference was that Wu Mingche and Liu Zhongli only targeted the gentry and did not offend the common people.

But they all killed the gentry.

If you are ruthless, if you are afraid of killing, the implementation of the imperial examination system in the south of the Yangtze River will naturally not be hindered.

In the past, the monarchs moved to the gentry because they needed them to participate in the rule, but the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River also knew that they were not qualified to bargain with Gao Cheng. The culture and education in the north had been flourishing for more than ten years, not to mention that there were many talents among the poor families. Like-exclusion from the ruling class.

After all, the official position of the imperial court is one radish and one hole, and one is less than one.

Gao made it clear that resolving the gap between the North and the South was as important as dealing with the Hu-Han conflict.

The death of Qin Dynasty II was not only due to its tyranny and military status, but more importantly, it did not shape the national identity of the remaining six countries.

In the final analysis, he just didn't treat people from the Six Kingdoms as his own. Gao Cheng would not make such a mistake.

Of course, while providing opportunities for Jiangnan students to showcase what they have learned, they must also safeguard the interests of the northern gentry and not chill the hearts of old people.

Gao Cheng has even internally determined the number of candidates admitted in the next Enkejing Examination, which is roughly arranged in accordance with the time when they are included in the Gao family's rule.

Even though Gao Cheng worked hard to promote education in the north, he still lagged behind Jiangnan in terms of culture and education.

There is no absolute fairness in the imperial examinations. If we really want to recruit students fairly based on knowledge, so that there are more Jinshi in the south than in the north, at least in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there will be big troubles.

In the Ming Dynasty, the south merged with the north, but the 51 candidates in one list were all from the south, which caused dissatisfaction among the northern students. Even Zhu Yuanzhang had to deal with the examiners, and opened another list to admit all the northerners. This is the two lists of the north and the south.

Northern Qi merged from the north to the south, allowing southern students to occupy the majority of the Jinshi list in the early days, which would inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the northern people and shake the foundation of the rule. In this danger, the absolute fairness of the imperial examination is of no importance.

There is no real distinction between regions, and talent and learning must wait until the gap between the north and the south is resolved. At least in the short term, it is difficult to do so. After all, since the chaos of China, the north and the south have confronted each other for more than 240 years. Not so easy to resolve.

Nowadays, it will take at least one or two generations for the northern scholars to regard themselves as superior to the southern people, and it may disappear.

At the same time, Gao Cheng also encouraged the five princes who founded the mansion, including Gao Xiaocong, to recruit southern scholars to enter the curtain.

Don't really think that Gao Cheng spends all day in Yaoguang Temple. Although Gao Cheng's playing is more ridiculous than many foolish kings, the biggest difference between them is that they can reasonably allocate work and entertainment time. Femininity and negligence.

Just when the rule of the Northern Qi Dynasty was unfolding in an orderly manner in the south of the Yangtze River, news came from the east of the Yangtze River that Wei Can threw himself into the river to die for his country.

After Xiao Gang learned about it, he was very sad, and Mrs. Xiao, who had just entered the palace, also asked Gao Cheng to reward Wei Can, so as to strengthen his integrity and set an example for future generations.

But Gao Cheng categorically refused. If Wei Can was rewarded for his death, how would Wu Mingche, Liu Zhongli and others deal with themselves.

Admiring his integrity is one thing, but as a ruler, every word and deed will be infinitely magnified. Gao Cheng will never encourage people to go against the general trend of north-south integration.

In Luoyang Market, in a restaurant, an old man with one arm is showing off his broken arm with his colleagues, and his son who has won a Jinshi background.

Ever since Wang Ajing broke an arm and went back to Hebei with his fellow villagers to brag and prove his bravery, he returned to Luoyang to take care of himself.

For the sergeants who were disabled due to the war, in addition to providing compensation, Gao Cheng also arranged light work, such as gatekeepers in various cities, most of them were disabled soldiers.

Originally, Wang Ajing could also report to the government, but after his son Wang Gongyun became a Jinshi, he left the opportunity to others and lived a life of retirement early. The day was very comfortable.

A servant ran into the wine shop and shouted at Wang Ajing:
"Patriarch, Mr. Lang has received a transfer and is going to serve as county magistrate in Wuxing. Let me call you back immediately."

Wang Ajing got up and greeted the acquaintances in the restaurant with a smile before leaving in a hurry.

As soon as he left, there were discussions in the restaurant.

"This old man Wang is really lucky to raise a Jinshi son."

"That's right, Qiu Ba, who can't read big characters, has become a respectable person."

"Isn't it because of His Majesty's grace? In the early years, his son, not to mention being a Jinshi, would not even have the opportunity to study. He would be just like him for the rest of his life, just a poor man."

A good restaurant with a strong sour taste.

In the end, Wang Ajing did not follow his son to the south of the Yangtze River, and sent Wang Gongyun's family of three away. He took his wife back to Yecheng, Hebei.

When he was conscripted into the Navy, Wang Ajing's family was moved to Gyeonggi.

After Gao Cheng was disabled and retired from the army when he conquered Huainan, he stayed because of Wang Gongyun's marriage here, but he felt that his roots were still in Hebei.

When Wang Ajing and his wife returned to Yecheng, they returned to their hometown in fine clothes, which aroused the envy of the old people. Countless people regretted that they should have learned from him to save food and money to support their son's education.

　1000 less, sleepy too much, sleep first, this chapter is mainly to explain to Wang Ajing.
