Chapter 1046 North and South(2/2)
She nagged Xiao Yi, "The court has a bad atmosphere, and all civil and military officials and generals like to whine. How powerful is this habit? It has disagreement with the teachers and students of the academy and has begun to whine again."
Xiao Yi raised his argument, "If you don't let them talk, can you let them fight? Are you not afraid of being beaten to death?"
Yan Yunge hummed twice, "The time for mouthing is too long, and the time for doing practical things has been shortened. Not good, very bad!"
"But there is no way to change, right?"
Yan Yunge nodded.
Under the current system, it seems that there is no way to change it.
I ate a bowl of wontons and my stomach was so full.
Xiao Yi joked about her, "Eat so much today, and I will grow at least two kilograms of meat tomorrow."
Yan Yunge was powerless to complain, would he be so vicious?
It was so lively ahead, I don't know what happened.
The two of them ran over to join in the fun. Oh, they still seemed to be familiar.
"If I remember correctly, that person is the youngest son of the Jin family."
The Jin family was also one of the first big merchants to invest in Pingyang County and follow Yan Yunge to conquer the world.
The Jin family has invested funds in major projects such as reservoirs, embankments, rivers, ditches, etc. outside the city.
He can be considered a hardcore Yan Yunge.
"What is the youngest son of the Jin family doing here?" Xiao Yi was very curious.
The two listened carefully and found that the youngest son of the Jin family was inspiring scholars to fight with scholars from the north.
"The north has been war for decades, and its cultural heritage has been destroyed. Although the imperial court has devoted great efforts to northern education in the past twenty years, the northern scholars are still inferior to our southern scholars.
This year, the new emperor ascended the throne and found the throne. The court favored the northern scholars, calling it balance.
This move openly erased the efforts of our southern scholars. We have made more efforts but have not received the fair treatment we deserve. We are not convinced! We are not convinced!"
"Don't accept it! Don't accept it! Don't accept it!"
"We want to fight with the Northern scholars and seek justice."
"Fight the ring and seek justice!"
The youngest son of the Jin family stood on the platform, waving his arms, like a spiritual leader, leading a group of scholars to make trouble.
Xiao Yi opened his mouth wide and whispered to Yan Yunge, "Scholars make trouble, this situation is even better than that of the soldiers."
Yan Yunge said softly: "Scholars have been more noisy since ancient times than those who served in the army. This year, the Ministry of Rites played the piano randomly and divided the imperial examinations into the north and south. They did it too blatantly, which would arouse the dissatisfaction of the scholars in the south."
Xiao Yi nodded clearly.
In previous years, southern scholars were the leader in the imperial examinations.
Three hundred scholars were selected for the examination, and more than two-thirds of them came from the south.
Seven or eight of the top ten must come from the south.
It is recognized that southern scholars read fiercely.
This phenomenon also caused deep concern among the officials in the court.
If this continues, within twenty years, all the people in the court looked like southern officials.
This is not conducive to the ruling of the court, nor is it conducive to the balance of power.
The north will become poorer and the south will become richer. What's wrong with that?
So...
The court secretly began to make the North and South list.
In the past, it was all about hiding and appropriately increasing the number of northern scholars, which was accepted by everyone.
This year, the Ministry of Rites has made great efforts to balance, and half of them were admitted from north to south.
Now, the southern scholars refused to agree.
A group of northern poor students actually defeated the academic masters in the south in the unified national imperial examination.
Uncle can tolerate it, aunt cannot tolerate it.
This is artificial cheating and is extremely unfair.
When Yan Yunge left Beijing, this incident had just gotten a frown, but it had not started to make a fuss.
A few months later, the flames had already burned to Pingyang County.
The youngest son of the Jin family is rich and powerful, and he likes to study.
Among local scholars, they are also very prestigious.
He climbed the high school and shouted, and the students responded one after another, wanting the court to hear their voices.
They wanted to defeat the northern scholars with dignity and slap the court officials in the face.
Look...
This is the northern scholars you value, and any southern scholar can defeat them.
Such a person can be on the list, which is the biggest unfairness in the world.
The youngest son of the Jin family waved his arms and led a group of students to rush towards the yamen.
They wanted the government to give an explanation, and the local government would give their demands and voices to the court, so that the emperor could know what was happening here.
The crowd watching the fun followed and rushed towards the yamen with these scholars.
It's very lively.
Xiao Yi asked Yan Yunge, "Don't care about this?"
Yan Yunge shook his head, "I have abdicated, what should I do? Let the court officials and Yuanchu worry about it.
They provoke disputes. If they are unable to calm down, one or two of them will quickly clamp their tails and do not do such things that can attract hatred in the future.
However, if you have the ability to calm the dispute, you can openly put the North and South list in the future.”
"Guess how the yamen will deal with this? Should we use force to disperse this group of scholars, or should we persuade them with kind words?"
"It is definitely a bad idea to disperse with force. If the government dares to do this, tomorrow's newspaper can scold the government as a dog."
Pingyang County, as the base where Yan Yunge made his fortune, can be regarded as the freest and most inclusive place in the world. The government is far less powerful than other places.
Various cultural and ideological collisions here, and various schools speak freely in newspapers and fight against each other.
The government has always been very polite to scholars and scholars.
The imperial examination started in Pingyang County, and it was impossible to lose its reputation.
If you want to keep Pingyang County alive and attract people all over the world for a hundred years, you must maintain respect for culture and scholars for a hundred years.
Otherwise, Pingyang County, which has lost its administrative center and economic center status, will attract talents from all over the world?
The founder of the imperial examination is a good experience and can be eaten for hundreds of years.
If you don’t have a good experience, you will be finished after five or ten years of eating.
Obviously, the local government did not dare to risk the end and use force to drive away the petitioners.
not to mention……
The Jin family also has many local industries, and pays large taxes and fees to the government every year.
The county magistrate's office and the county magistrate came forward in person and promised in front of everyone that he would write the students' requests into memorials and listen to them to the heavens.
The Ministry of Rites openly harmed the interests of the Southern scholars. This move not only hurts the Southern scholars, but also hurts the officials in the South and the diligent academic and political officials at all levels.
Everyone spent huge amounts of money to cultivate children and develop education, but the court made everyone feel disappointed.
What's this?
This is discrimination, this is harm!
Not only were the students angry, but he was also angry as his parents.
One day he was the county magistrate of Pingyang County and one day he had to fight for legitimate interests for the students.
boom!
The crowd was sensational.
The scholars were very satisfied, and the people watching the melon-eating crowd were also satisfied.
This is the parent official!
He did not speak the official style, and was seriously on the side of the public's interests and spoke fairly for everyone.
The crowd is in a turbulent situation!
In front of the county magistrate's office, it became a temple fair during the Chinese New Year.
Everyone was yelling, not knowing how happy they were.
Chapter completed!
