Chapter 1136 Conquest
With the arrival of the imperial edict, the court's final decision on the parliament. The parliament was retained, but the court abolished the Lingnan parliament and only reached the Dao level.
Li Chao was able to accept this result, which was even beyond his expectations. He thought that this matter would be difficult to pass, but he also thought about going roundabout war, launching the relationship between Beijing and China, and making long-term preparations. Unexpectedly, it would pass so quickly.
The speaker is selected by the court, and the reasons for the Council of Parliament are also selected by the court among the members of parliament. The officials of the court do not serve as members of parliament, and Li Chao can accept these points.
Things are always like this, and it is impossible to follow oneself. It is already a very good progress to be able to retain the parliament. The court sent people to be the speaker and elected directors from the parliamentary members, which has nothing to do with him. What is important is that the parliament can be retained, and those slang chiefs, the landlords and the rich in business can also become parliamentary members. This is enough.
"What's the news about Hanjing recently?" Li Chao asked Wang Sheren.
"There has been no news in Hanjing recently. County tests have been held in various places this fall. More than 1,000 counties in the world have recorded 50,000 scholars." Wang Sheren said excitedly.
Li Chao didn’t think there were many scholars with 50,000 scholars, after all, there were more than 1,000 counties in the Tang Dynasty. Think about it, there were 50,000 scholars in the country at the end of the Ming Dynasty. However, this incident caused a sensation in Hanjing. This year was the first year of the imperial examination reform. It changed from one subject in the past year to one subject in three years, and it also changed from the direct selection of tribute students to Beijing to the third-level examination for the county examination.
Today's Jinshi is no longer as good as before. Now only one Jinshi is the right path. There are dozens of other mathematics, law, medicine and other subjects, but that is a junior college. The candidates are professional technical talents, which are completely different from the Jinshi. After the exam, most of them are officials, and they are different from the Jinshi.
However, it is much more difficult to get a Jinshi. You have to take the exam for the classics and questions, even poetry and essays, and some historical, geographical and material research are added. Even the classics and thirteen classics are taken, rather than each candidate can only pass one or two classics to take the corresponding classics.
Is it a big increase?
Especially if you pass the third level of the county road meeting, you will eventually go to the Golden Palace and the emperor will personally set the exam to determine the ranking. Just one subject in three years is enough to make the imperial examination completely different.
In the first county examination, the average national admission of less than 40 people per county was accepted.
In some Central Plains, there are thousands of candidates who take the exam in a county, and the county examination has to go through three exams. Each time, a group of people have to be eliminated, and in the end only a few dozen people are admitted. This is because this is the first new imperial examination. The court intends to increase the number of admissions. The admission rate for the next subject will be even lower. On average, a county will be less than twenty.
Fifty thousand scholars have the qualifications to take the Dao Examination Qualification Examination next year. The scholars cannot take the Dao Examination directly, they have to take the qualification examination first, the Dao Examination.
This is also an important measure for the new imperial examination. From county examinations to road examinations to imperial examinations, there is such a qualification examination. If the next scholar wants to take the county examination, he must first take the county examination. This is the qualification examination. The purpose of this qualification examination is to limit the number of people to refer to.
Each county has a fixed quota, and only those who can participate in the county examination can be based on the number of admissions within the score.
Similarly, scholars cannot directly participate in the Taoist examination. They must first take the Taoist examination. If only one Taoist is allowed to refer to one Taoist examination, then if there are thousands of scholars in the Taoist examination, most people must be eliminated first.
Thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge, this is the most cruel imperial examination.
In the future, scholars will be admitted to each year and juren will be relatively fixed.
Most of the 50,000 scholars admitted this year are concentrated in the Central Plains region, and even a thousand scholars have not arrived.
“Is there any news?”
"I heard that the Meishan barbarians in Hunan Road were going to rebel, so many officials wrote to request to conquer the Meizhou barbarians." Wang Sheren remembered something.
Li Chao shook his head.
Hunan Road is drawn out from Jiangxi Road. This road is located in the west of Jiangxi, south of Shandong, south of Shandong, south of the Yangtze River, and north of the Five Ridges. This is a relatively closed basin. If there is no division of the Yangtze River, it is actually a whole with Shandong.
However, the development of Hunan and Shandong is hugely different. Shandong East is considered a relatively developed place in the Central Plains, especially since the imperial court has moved to Dengzhou, and the center of the world is becoming more and more prosperous.
But in the south of Dongting Hunan, the Yangtze River, it was a barbaric land.
A large number of barbarians live there, especially in the mountains, almost all of them are the territory of barbarians. Among these barbarians, the Meizhou barbarians have the greatest power. In fact, Meizhou barbarians are similar to the Li people in Lingnan, the Liao people in Qianzhong, the Yi people in Shuzhong, etc., which are the tribes that migrated south from the past, some of which are local natives.
These people are far less advanced and open than the Han people in the Central Plains. They retreated into the mountains and were relatively backward. For thousands of years, while the Han people continued to move south and expanded, they also had contact and exchanges with the Han people. They generally also joined the Central Plains dynasty, but they also closed their doors in the mountains to live their lives.
When Li Chao was in Xiangyang, he conquered the Tumans in the south and east of the mountain, which was also a branch of the barbarians. There were also many barbarians in Hunan, the strongest of which was the Meizhou barbarians. From the south of Dongting Hunan to the north of Wuling Mountain, in the mountains of Qianzhong and Jiangxi in Hunan, they were all barbarians.
"The barbarian rebellion? I'm afraid there is a big story?" Li Chao chuckled a few times.
When Wang Sheren saw Li Chao pointing it out, he just smiled.
Cheng Qian asked Li Chao in confusion, "Teacher, is there any inside information?"
There are inside stories, and the inside story is that although barbarians often make trouble, they actually arise in most cases due to some conflicts. The so-called Southern Barbarian Rebellion is simply that the rise of industry and commerce in the Central Plains is now, and the huge demand for workers has stimulated the slave market.
Although the sea slave trade is expanding now, slaves sold from the sea are still difficult to meet their needs. Secondly, the price of slaves from the sea is still relatively high. Under this situation, many people have set their sights on Hunan, Qianzhong, Bashu and other places, and they have taken a fancy to the barbarians here.
How can you directly catch slaves when buying slaves? You can make money if you come.
It was under this situation that a large number of slave-capturing teams emerged, entering the mountains to capture the camps, and capturing the barbarian fangs as slaves.
In fact, Li Chao also planned to capture slaves in the southwest at the beginning, but at that time he formulated a plan to be courteous and then soldiers. Those who are willing to join the court and are willing to form households and people should be treated well and will not attack. Their targets are mainly those who are notorious, often intercept trade routes, collect tolls, and even go down the mountain to rob from time to time.
It not only captures slaves, but also spreads the reputation of the court.
But now these people only have slaves and money in their eyes, and they don’t care about good or evil. They only know how to organize slave capture teams to enter the mountains, attack the villages, and capture the people they see.
Hunan has the most slave hunters and the most troubles.
The barbarians were not so easy to bully. When they were captured slaves attacked the village and broke into villages, they quickly began to connect. In the end, under the leadership of several leaders of Meizhou, they simply turned against each other.
The barbarians in the mountains of Hunan Province were killed and down the mountain. They took revenge, burned, killed, robbed and captured Han villages at the foot of the mountain, and attacked prefectures and counties.
For a time, there was constant war in Hunan, and countless villages were destroyed, and even the prefectures and counties were lost one after another.
This incident shocked the emperor directly.
This is greed.
If you don't control it, things will get out of control.
If Li Chao led it, things would definitely not have been allowed to develop to this point. Hu Tian and Hu Earth would inevitably have such an ending.
The barbarians in Hunan are far less powerful than those in Lingnan Li Liao and Han Hao after they combined, but those who were in Lingnan ruled by Li Chao were obedient and posted, but Hunan was in a state of upside down.
Who was the one who was in the end? It was the Han people in Hunan who suffered innocent disasters and the court was damaged. After this trouble, Daozhou and counties in Hunan suffered serious losses.
"How did this end?"
Li Chao shook his head at Cheng Qian. How else can he end up? It must be a fight. Although the slave hunting teams are causing trouble, these slave hunting teams are actually from those noble families of noble families. It is impossible for the court to punish them in this matter.
The court must have to deal with the barbarians first. No matter what the cause is, the barbarians have rebelled now, and they must be controlled by burning, killing, looting.
Maybe those noble families would even push behind their backs, clamoring to destroy all the barbarians and capture them all as slaves.
As expected.
A few days later, Li Chao saw the latest news about the Meizhou Man Rebellion in the latest issue of the newspaper.
The court appointed Luo Shixin as the general manager of the Hunan Road and Shan Xiongxin as the deputy general manager. The two recruited troops from Shannan and Jiangxi to Hunan to quell the rebellion.
When Li Chao saw the names of Luo Shixin and Shan Xiongxin, he knew that this time the matter would not be good. Luo Shixin is a god of killing. Old Cheng is a demon king, but Luo Shixin is a real god of killing.
As soon as he made his move, the barbarians of Hunan Road would definitely be killed and blood flowed into a river. Maybe, the court would take advantage of this barbarian rebellion to seize the actual control of Hunan Road, and the barbarians would not have the right to be detained in the future.
Who cares about the life or death of the barbarians?
Even at this time, who cares about the cause of this rebellion?
Lingnan is about to pacify, and now the court sharpens its sword and goes to Hunan again. What is the next step?
Guizhou or Yunnan?
"The teacher seems not very happy?" Cheng Qian couldn't help asking when he saw Li Chao holding the newspaper.
Li Chao shook his head. Things in Hunan are cruel, but this is inevitable. The Han civilization has been constantly expanding to the surrounding areas, and the expansion of territory is actually a history of conquest.
Conquer will inevitably lead to bloodshed.
The Chinese civilization, which once only existed in the Yellow River Basin, now has no idea how many territory it has expanded to its surrounding areas.
Putting down the newspaper, Li Chao said to Chengqian, "The rainy season is over, and I will officially go back my ban."
