Chapter Fourteen The Disgusting Magistrate

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

The gongs were ringing eleven times in succession.

Lin Yanchao knew that this evil feudal society had a clear hierarchy. The sound of the gong was also a distinction between high and low. If a seventh-rank county magistrate went to the countryside, the gong sounded seven times, but if a fifth-rank prefect went to the countryside, the nine times would sound. And the provincial officials at the provincial level would sound 11 times.

My God, didn’t you say that the envoy of the school is only at the same level as the prefect? ​​You can even ring gongs for 10 seconds. Could it be that they came from the province? Even if the envoy of the school is very powerful and not subject to the restraint of the tutoring institute, you can’t do this.

When Lin Yanchao saw the two plaques with "Deputy Envoy of the Censorate" and "Admiral Fujian to learn Taoism", Lin Yanchao suddenly realized.

The Tao of the School belongs to the Censorate, and the Supervisor must have the titles in it. In the Censorate, the Censor is the third rank, the Deputy Censor is the fourth rank, and the Assistant of the Censor is the fifth rank. If the Supervisor is only the Assistant of the Supervisor, it can only be based on the specifications of the fifth rank prefect. However, if the Deputy Censor of the Fourth rank, according to the principle that the High or Low in the Official Realm will be received by the Provincial Governor level officials.

It's been a bit more knowledgeable, and Lin Yanchao is a little complacent.

The yamen runner in soap clothes held a knife, followed him with his hands to avoid him, calmly, holding a card and chanting, and shouting. In addition, there was a quick hand, listening to the news, and following him, there was countless green sedan chair behind him, and he came in towards the village in a mighty manner.

All the villagers in Hexiang went out to greet the village entrance and knelt down to avoid the sedan chair.

After the sedan chair stopped in front of the social school gate, an official with a national face and extremely powerful official walked out of the sedan chair and glanced at the school children with a terrifying look.

Everyone was silent and did not dare to breathe. Lin Yanchao was not very respectful. As a minion in his previous life, he was used to seeing leaders. He had even seen the priests in the news broadcast, and several fourth- and fifth-rank officials could not shock him. Lin Yanchao looked at the other party carefully and thought, is this person a scholar? However, this person is very powerful and decisive at first glance, how could a noble and noble official promoter?

But when he saw this person walking to the back sedan chair, then walked to a blue oil cloth sedan chair, lifted the curtain and buzzed: "Master Tixue, Duke Xiangmin's hometown has arrived." 'It turned out to be a misunderstanding.' Lin Yanchao secretly said that he did not understand the rules of the officialdom. If a senior official went to the countryside, he would not only have to greet the elders, but also a local official must accompany him.

After a while, a black satin official boot stepped out of the sedan chair, and then an official in his forties, embroidered with a white squid robe, slowly stepped out of the sedan chair. Lin Yanchao was about to look carefully, but saw a yamen runner glaring at him. Lin Yanchao could only lower his head.

After saying that, a person on the side said, "Mr. Tixue has an order to go to the countryside to be close to the people, and all the rules are simple."

The rules are simple, so there is no need to implement red tape. The students can finally lift their heads without lowering their necks.

Lin Yanchao raised his head again, but saw two officials, like leaders from later generations, rushing to the left and right, rushing to the left and right, squadrons, as well as a large group of people including his own entourage, clerks, and masters. Even the figures like Mr. Zhang who were in Hongtang Township, who were able to stand and go to the side.

With these stars holding the moon, their indescribable power is no wonder that everyone likes to be an official. The yamen runners on the side no longer stare, and Lin Yanchao also looked around casually. Hu Tixue, who is in the top, is naturally very easy to recognize. If it weren't for his official robe, this person would be like an ordinary well-educated man, and someone would believe that he was a teaching teacher.

As for the other person, Lin Yanchao had mistakenly thought it was an official who had previously mistakenly recommended the school. He heard that the yamen runners on the side followed the leader of this man. On the side, the gentry and the gentry were full of enthusiasm, and they called each other an old parent. It was without guessing that they were the local parents, Zhou Zhixian County.

Lin Yanchao also heard a little about this Zhou Zhixian County.

The Japanese in central Fujian were severe, and the Ministry of Personnel also selected capable officials to come to Fujian to serve as officials.

Zhou Zhixian’s reputation was not very good. He was a cruel official who kept his power and refused to let go. He was a mean and arrogant person. He had handled several iron cases since he became an official. Many people were in trouble at his hands and ruined their families. He was a veritable imperial destruction and a magistrate of the family.

Hu Tixue and Zhou Zhixian were chatting while walking, and Zhang General Jia, Lin Chengyi and the villagers followed the two in a submissive way and entered the ancestral hall together.

There are tablets of Zhang Jing and Zhang Maojue in the ancestral temple. Zhang Maojue was the grandson of Zhang Jing, and later became the chief clerk of Taichang Temple with his father. Zhang Xiang, the son of Zhang Maojue, was also admitted to the Imperial College for study, and he was an official.

Therefore, Zhang Xiang ranked first in the order of the official position. However, Xu Yanchao knew that this person had only passed the county exam five times, not to mention the palace exam. Everyone in the clan knew that he was not a talent for studying, but he had a good father who could join the Imperial College because of his identity as a magistrate. For him, he was like a pie falling from the sky.

After a greeting, Hu Tixue and Zhou Zhixian were also sitting there, and people around him were busy serving tea and water. Generally speaking, this was not a real school exam, and the work center for the school exam was placed on the college entrance examination, and the rectification of county schools and government schools. The so-called "Survey and Social School" was actually just about recommending adults, understanding the local situation, indicating that the court attaches importance to culture and education, and encourages the people to learn.

Therefore, if you observe the wind, you won’t be embarrassed. If you look at the face, you will be over. Hu Tixue thinks this way, but others don’t think so. Just like the true Buddha is right in front of you, who is willing to travel 100,800 miles to the West to obtain the scriptures? If you meet a noble person who can change your life with one sentence, who can hold back and not try to show yourself.

Hu Tixue did not take the airs of the school children below, but instead spoke of kindness and elders: "Are these relatives of Duke Xiangmin, in the village?"

There are so many people in the Zhang clan present, but when Hu Tixue asked, it is not everyone who is qualified to speak. He must promote a fame and fortune to accompany him to live and speak. Other wealthy merchants or gentry like Zhang General Jia who are very powerful in the local area are not qualified to interrupt.

"When the Grand Master goes back, most of them are children of the hometown." Zhang Xiang replied. After he became a student in the prison, he had the identity of being able to speak to the official and speak on behalf of the Zhang clan.

Hu Tixue praised: "The land of loyalty and righteousness is truly a beautiful person."

Speaking of this, Hu Ti Xue has been to the county magistrate of Zhou since ancient times: "Zhu Zi has said that for more than three generations, there are all learnings in the palace, capital and alleys."

"In life, from the princes and the princes, as well as the children of common people, all entered primary school. In the past 15 years, except for the princes and princes, there were handsome scholars from ordinary people entering university. Therefore, the teaching of the school is divided into the big and small qualities."

After listening to Hu Tixue's conversation, Zhou County Magistrate leaned forward and expressed respect. He replied: "My Lord Tixue said so much. The current social sciences are imitating more than three generations. They have teachings and are not different from elementary schools. All people can accept teachings. At the fifteenth hour, when entering university, except for the sons of the princes and the common people, only handsome and handsome among the common people can enter. Today, the students in the county and the government schools can only become scholars if they pass the three tests of the mistress and the three tests."

Hu Tixue smiled and said, "Brother Shuangtai, this statement is exactly what I want. Therefore, this time the emperor ordered the officials to supervise the province, and all the teachers and students of the society should be examined together, so that the wise teachers should be instructed. At the same time, we should also recommend talents from the people, and we should not let the virtuous be left in the countryside."

The supervisor of a province holds the right to appoint and remove tutors from a province's society and school, and also has the power to promote the country's ranks.

Hu Tixue talked and laughed for a while with the magistrate Zhou County, and everyone, including Zhang Xiang, could only listen and couldn't speak.

There is no way to have the status gap. Not to mention the rank of the official position, in terms of "education", Zhou County Magistrate was a third-class Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing, and was a figure at the top of the pyramid. Hu Ti was even more powerful. He was born as a Shujishi. Later, Sanguan served as the censor and appointed Fujian to learn Taoism.

It’s like Einstein and Schrödinger chatting, and he’s powerless to interrupt.

Hu Tixue chatted with Zhou County Magistrate for a while, and remembered the schoolchild below Hou Li and said, "Which one is a social school tutor?"

After hearing what Hu Tixue said, Lin Chengyi quickly stood up and said, "Return to the words of the Grand Master, I will be born in Lin Chengyi later."

Seeing Lin Chengyi's handsome appearance, Hu Tixue nodded and asked, "Who is the old friend from?" He can be called his name directly in his capacity as Hu Tixue, but he said this to show his kindness to the society teacher.

After hearing what Hu Tixue said, Lin Chengyi said with shame: "Reply to the words of Master Tixue, I have not yet entered the school."

Hu Ti's expression became a little bit lighter when he heard this. At that time, people who were fame and fortune called students old friends, and Tongsheng was called children. For example, Tongsheng was not afraid of being a teenager, and was also called old friends. If he did not enter school, he would be eighty years old and still called children.

Lin Chengyi has not passed the examination and is not considered a scholar and cannot be called an old friend.

At that time, the better part of the society was to invite Confucian scholars or Confucian students as tutors, and the worse part was to invite Tong Sheng as tutors. Hu Tixue heard that Lin Chengyi was just a tutor, and he thought that his talent was limited, and the level of the students he taught was not very good.

Zhang Xiangsheng was afraid that Ting Xue would be underestimated, so he quickly made up for it: "Although Mr. Lin has not entered the school, he taught the students very harshly, and his disciples are many outstanding people." At this time, Magistrate Zhou sneered: "Haha, don't talk nonsense in front of Ting Xue. How can the four words "Excellent" be used easily?"

After saying this, everyone showed a look of embarrassment on their faces. Lin Yanchao couldn't help feeling bad about Magistrate Zhou. As a local Magistrate, this is usually a statement to express humility and protection in front of the school. He did not perform well and had a big gap. However, Magistrate Zhou's words were so harsh that he did not give people any face and did not have the peaceful style of the officialdom at all.

Do you want to establish your authority? Or do you already know that you have a bad reputation among the people, so you just turned a blind eye to the end. Lin Yanchao secretly speculated. Zhou Zhixian said this, but no one dared to say anything wrong, and he just lowered his head. Even Zhang Xiang didn't know how to answer.

Hu Tixue smiled and smoothed out the situation: 'Under the rule of Zhou Zhi County, the people are simple and of course there are many outstanding talents. 'Hu Tixue is the only person in Zhou Zhi County who needs to be given face, and said immediately: "The Grand Master is so proud."
