People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 219 The imperial examination was changed to admit hundreds of scholars! The readers were dumbfounded! Depend on! be cheated!

What made those civil servants even more desperate was that Chen Han and the others actually discussed in front of them how to implement the reward mechanism.

Even the final reward is not just as simple as commenting on one's progress.

As long as we can take the lead in implementing the new law and achieve results.

This effect is not like Wang Anshi's reform, which only gives those below a space for corruption and bribery.

But actual implementation.

For example, it is like putting the tenants into the acres, and the officials and gentry all work as errands to pay the grain, and it is tested and implemented, and it is all implemented in one area.

If these three measures are implemented together, they can still achieve results.

Such an official directly rewards him with two years' salary.

In this case, risks and returns can be directly proportional, and even the returns will be higher.

Now it is the state that spends money to hire people to do these jobs.

In this way, it is actually equivalent to providing job opportunities to ordinary people.

But it's different now.

Originally, a county magistrate only earned more than one hundred taels of silver a year. If he was caught embezzling, he would definitely die.

But it's different now.

This also means taking money from the landlords and passing it on to the people, allowing them to make a fortune.

That's an incredible number.

Only in this way can the market economy become active.

When they have work to do, they have money, and they can spend money when they have money.

But a small number of people are so rich that they are simply filthy.

The principle of apportionment of servants is that those with more land and more money will be apportioned more.

Chen Han came to support him with a high salary.

If gold and silver do not circulate, they will always be a pile of stones.

Because there are many people in rich people’s homes, more people will be needed to build roads, reservoirs, and dams.

How can the people not rebel against the chaos of Liao’s wages, suppression of wages, and training of wages?

In their spare time, people can still work and make money.

This is unpaid.

Chen Han will never do such stupid things after coming.

This is to take advantage of those rich people.

Ordinary people are human resources. The people in your landlord's family are valuable. If you don't want to build the dam, you can give me the money and I can do it for you.

The war in Liaodong can only be divided among the people.

The other is that after hiding wealth among the people, a large number of landlords and plutocrats control the land, so the people have no land.

Those of you who are rich, especially those who are talented and have good families, are not exempt from official duties and have to work as official servants.

If they don't want to, then they have to pay and hire ordinary people to repair it.

The peasants were spread across the land, and the officials and gentry all worked as messengers to pay for the food. They were all targeting the rich.

But the treasury is desperately poor.

Because they understand that this is a chain reaction.

Rich people don't spend money to defend the country, but instead plunder the poor people every day. That is simply the opposite.

What concept?
This does not include their real estate, fields, shops, gold, silver, and jewelry. The amount of silver alone is more than 70 million.

In particular, the officials and gentry all worked together to pay the rations. In the past, when projects were built for the country, the common people would prepare their own nails, wood, hoes, and dry food to build these projects.

You must know that when Li Zicheng came to Beijing, he tortured officials in the capital and found more than 70 million taels of silver.

Just because officials' salaries are so low, they have to commit corruption.

The civil servants who are now at the gate of the palace are envious of the salary that Chen Han has given to those reformists.

But why is it still so corrupt?

While gnashing his teeth in hatred.

All he wants to do is take advantage of the rich.

Especially the people are very wealthy.

In fact, by the time of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty was no longer short of money.

If you don't want to work, you can pay someone to do the work for you.

With such a high salary to support the reformists, the reformers can still make a lot of money even if they are not corrupt.

Instead of those rich people earning money and gold and burying them in the ground.

A county magistrate can receive an additional fifty taels of silver per month, which is equivalent to increasing his salary several times in one month.

How could he not work hard?

Even if you earn these dead wages, it will be more than corruption.

We still have to worry about corruption, we are afraid of being reported, we are also afraid of being blackmailed, and we have a bad conscience.

But now it is different to do things seriously and with high salary, and to really work for the imperial court.

This is called high salary to support integrity.

This is the beginning of a virtuous cycle. For this high salary, officials have to work hard to implement the new law.

Especially those whose families have no background will find ways to earn this salary.

These senior officials are very smart, especially officials like Zhang Siwei, who are heartbroken by the new law.

How did he get up at home? His family has been in business for generations.

The last time Chen Han wiped out the big landlord in Shanxi, he was not wiped out. It was not because his family did not do evil.

But his family is not yet up to the level.

They belong to the middle class.

The middle class of Ming Dynasty is the most hateful.

They did not annex as much land as the big landowners, but their overall numbers were very large.

Which class should Chen Han get money from for his reforms?

These are the middle class.

Because the top chaebol has a lot of personal money, but his proportion is not large.

There are really many people who are middle class and above.

After everyone discussed it, Zhang Juzheng and the others were very happy.

Chen Han went back to rest.

In the next few days, something happened to you that made Chen Han dumbfounded.

Those scholars actually dared to cause trouble.

Of course they are not targeting Chen Han.

These people are smart, and there may be someone behind them.

These people gathered in the capital, went to the Confucius Temple every day to cry, and went to pay homage to Confucian temples in various places every day.

What's funny is that they have firmly stated that they will not take part in the Enke exam this time.

50,000 to 60,000 scholars have signed a petition stating that they will never take the Enke exam this time.

Although the imperial examination is held every three years, generally when a new emperor ascends the throne, there will be an enke examination.

This is the grace of the new emperor to the scholars of the world.

He also first cultivated a group of his own team.

However, the number of admissions is very limited.

Generally speaking, between two hundred and four hundred.

For example, in the second year of Yongle, the year with the largest number of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, only 472 Jinshi were admitted.

There is only one session every three years, and now there is Enke. It is a very rare opportunity, but these scholars can also give up.

He was really determined to go against Chen Han.

Chen Han is also very happy.

Upon hearing such a declaration, an edict was immediately issued.

Of course it was an edict issued in the name of the emperor.

Due to heavy rains, many people who were ready to take the imperial examination were blocked on their way, so this year's imperial examination was postponed to November.

In other words, there is still more than half a year left.

In addition, scholars are not allowed to participate in this Enke exam.

Those admitted are private technical experts.

To put it bluntly, there are hundreds of schools of thought except Confucianism.

As long as you are really capable, you can come to the capital and give it a try.

Chen Han stipulated that if you pass the admission examination, you need to go to the Daming Engineering College newly established by the imperial court to study again.

The study lasts for three years, with free tuition and miscellaneous fees. There is a subsidy of ten taels of silver a month.

But if you are really capable, if you are cheating, you will not only have to reimburse yourself for the round trip expenses, but you may even be punished.

This time, a total of 10,000 people were admitted, covering all aspects of labor, agriculture and forestry.

The six types of work refer to soil work, metal work, stone work, carpentry, animal work, and grass work, covering all types of work except Confucianism.

Anyway, I will admit whoever you, the scholar, look down upon.

The readers were dumbfounded.

I'll give your mother a try!

Did you, Chen Han, deliberately plot against us?
Did you want to do this kind of imperial examination from the beginning?
We thought that Enko’s lack of participation would slap the new emperor in the face.

Now this reversal is too big.

Is this okay?

The imperial examination became the selection of hundreds of schools of thought.

There's something wrong with this atmosphere.

If Chen Han gets a firm foothold, then the imperial examinations in the future will not be the same as those of various schools of thought, right?
