Chapter 833 Restructuring
Zhang Xingyi was caught by Feng Junhou so unexpectedly, and her body immediately became weak, but when she saw her biting her lips, she looked like a smile but not a smile:
“After all, the person who became the governor became a lot more courageous. He even dared to bully the queen’s own sister..."
“What are you afraid of?” Feng Junhou kept doing nothing but tricking the monkey into stealing peaches, “She is the queen’s biological sister, and she is also my love sister…”
“Stop it! If you really start a fire, the people in this car...”
Zhang Xingyi desperately grabbed his hand to prevent him from causing trouble, and said angrily, "Besides, there are so many of your students outside!"
“The car shook so hard, what could they hear?”
The driver and the guards around the car were all female guards. The students brought from Nanxiang were still far behind.
Zhang Xingyi huddled in his arms and chuckled: "You are so brave! Why haven't I seen you so bold before?"
Feng Yong chuckled: "Didn't I meet the old lady when I returned to Hanzhong?"
In fact, in Feng Yong's eyes, the biggest obstacle in his relationship with Zhang Xingyi has never been the rules and ethics.
Because rules have never been used to restrain power.
The easiest way is for Zhang Xingyi to change his name and appear as another identity.
As for where the original Zhang family's young lady has gone...you are the only one who talks a lot of nonsense!
Where did the young lady in the boudoir of the high-ranking Zhang family go... Are you qualified to ask?
Among the young generation of Han Dynasty, King Feng Gui cannot be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand, but he is worthy of his reputation as the leading brother.
Is it because the brown sugar is not sweet enough for the guy who still dares to miss the Zhang family’s young lady?
Or the wine doesn’t taste good?
Or maybe the wool is not warm enough?
Jin Duan doesn’t look good?
Don’t like them all?
Do you want to drink Meng Po soup?
Here, take a sip, just a sip!
The only ones who have some capital to criticize King Feng Gui are those aristocratic families.
But it’s not what King Feng Gui is boasting about. There is no one in the current Shu family who can fight!
Besides, what kind of bad thing can he do with this little thing between a man and a woman?
Other than saying that King Feng Gui is immoral and disrespectful of etiquette, what else can he do?
Haven’t King Feng Gui broken many rules in recent years?
The women in Nanxiang, who came out of work in groups, did they first spray?
The demons are dancing wildly and the evil ghosts are born. Isn’t it still so delicious now?
What's more, among the wealthy families, which family doesn't have dirty things?
Times have changed, and the right to speak of the Han Dynasty is no longer only in the hands of aristocratic families.
Who is afraid of the trolls?
So Feng Yong knew his own family affairs, and the key to Zhang Xiaosi's affairs still lies with Guan Ji and Zhang Xiahou.
However, after Zhang Xingyi’s efforts in the past few years, she has subtly integrated into the Feng Mansion.
Especially since Guan Ji gave birth to a child, she is much more generous than before.
The Feng family's wife never left Zhang Xingyi in the backyard. She often yelled at him and would even teach him a lesson when she was anxious.
The strange thing is, I don’t know when, Guan Ji actually gave Zhang Xingyi money according to the rules of Feng Mansion.
Although there is not much money for a rich woman like Zhang Xingyi, she always keeps it happily.
This is an implicit admission.
So the last hurdle in this matter is the Zhang Xiahou family. It is also the hurdle that Feng Junhou is most afraid of and the one he is least sure of.
Fortunately, a tool man from Xiahou came from the sky...cough, Uncle Xiahou.
“I can’t blame him for being the King of Ghosts, ghosts and ghosts! It’s really not the wrong name!”
Zhang Xingyi took a bite of him and said bitterly, "I didn't even eat it before it was brought to my mouth, but now I'm anxious? It's a good idea! Take your hands away quickly, I want to get down to business!"
“What’s the business?”
Feng Junhou, who was exposed by Zhang Xingyi, asked sarcastically, but refused to take his hand back.
“Let me ask you, what do you plan to do with so many students this time?”
Zhang Xingyi had no choice but to let him go, but he still had to talk about business matters.
Feng Yongzheng paused slightly with his relieved hands: "Is it much?"
“Not many? You have vacated all the students that Nanxiang Academy is preparing to graduate this year, leaving none for others. Not many?”
Zhang Xingyi made a sound, "Everyone knows what you are planning, but I just can't figure out what you are planning to do."
Feng Gui Wang has reached the peak of his life after the battle at Xiaoguan, and everyone is paying attention to his every move.
This time, he took away all the students who were about to graduate from Nanxiang Academy. For those who are interested, it is a small but noteworthy matter.
"Oh, that's it. When the Xiaowei Mansion was first established, didn't I make an agreement with the Prime Minister? For a period of five years, as long as the Hu people have settled for five years, their households will be officially registered."
“Once the household registration is officially established, the head of the pavilion and the head of the township must not use his own people? We can’t leave it to those village elders like before...”
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xingyi kicked him away and said angrily:
"You are so heartless! You are still taking advantage of your own hands, and you are starting to fool me with your mouth. Do you know what is going on in the captain's house as well as I do? You don't even bother to fool people, bah!"
In the early years, Feng Yong vigorously promoted literacy campaigns in the military, and now he has finally received rich rewards.
Nowadays, let alone Nanxiang, all the pavilion chiefs in Yuexun County and Xiaowei Mansion are already soldiers who have retired from the army.
Although most of them are disabled, disability is not a brain defect.
Just being able to read the vernacular documents issued by the government and explain to everyone what they mean is enough to calm most of the old people.
These pavilion chiefs have vested interests under the Xinghanhui system. Without the support of the Xinghanhui, they will fall back into the ranks of untouchables.
So they are all die-hard supporters of the Xinghanhui system.
When Feng Junhou was in Longyou, he sometimes went downstairs for inspections. When he met a disabled pavilion chief in the countryside, the pavilion chief would ask his wife, concubines, and children to come out to salute Feng Junhou.
When there is free time in the schedule, Feng Junhou might even have a few drinks with him.
Because these pavilion chiefs were either soldiers from Qiannanxiang or retired from the army of Xiaowei Mansion. They all listened to Feng Junhou's call and exerted their remaining enthusiasm in the local area.
Let's take root in the frontier and take root in the frontier. He is truly the most loyal fan of this era.
Besides, it may not be easy for disabled soldiers who have retired from the army to marry a Han girl as a concubine, but in Longyou, it is the easiest thing to take a few Hu girls as concubines.
Feng Junhou himself took a good lead and used his body to feed barbarian girls. Well, he married Amei as his concubine. Naturally, the rough guys below him followed suit.
I was originally from Guizhou Province, and I am not as noble as the sons of aristocratic families. How can I be lowered no matter how low my bloodline is?
In the past, marrying a somewhat tolerable woman might have been a luxury.
Now that I finally have the opportunity to feel good, I naturally want to feel really good about it first.
Although I don’t dare to expect to meet the unique Mei Lady like Feng Junhou.
But there are ten households in one li, ten li in one pavilion, and hundreds of households!
There are so many hot women and barbarians. After washing and dressing up, you can always pick out two or three that suit your taste, right?
And they also have this need in order to get rid of their original identity.
Then the two parties hit it off immediately, hit it off, and it was reasonable...
As for communication and integration, Feng Junhou is very willing to see results in this regard, and even secretly contributes to the situation.
The Prime Minister has already said that the Han and the barbarians are all the same, so what’s the matter with marrying a barbarian girl? Aren’t all those born Han children?
When the top soldier below heard what Feng Junhou said, he quickly responded: "Yes, yes, yes, Junhou is right!"
So not to mention that retiring from the army and serving as a pavilion chief represents an improvement in social status, it is worth working hard just for the benefits you can enjoy.
Having more children means more blessings, and more branches and leaves. Isn’t that what people want in this life?
It directly cut off the foundation for local wealthy families to make trouble.
"It's not as if there are literate soldiers. How many people has the Xiaowei Mansion invested in registering households for those barbarians in recent years? It's not like you don't know."
“Seeing that Liangzhou is about to be recovered, where can we find such literate soldiers who have retired from the army? So shouldn’t I be prepared in advance..."
Feng Junhou is very eloquent.
"Still lying! Still lying!" Zhang Xingyi immediately punched and kicked him again, "You have spent so much effort to train students, are you willing to let them become the director of the pavilion?"
The current Nanxiang Academy is no better than it was then.
In addition to Nanxiang becoming the most famous place of education for the Han Dynasty, more importantly, there was an additional teacher in the school. His surname was Xiang Minglang.
Xiang Lang was originally a famous scholar. During the few years he stayed in Nanxiang Academy, he devoted himself to teaching students from all walks of life who came to Nanxiang Xinhua Bookstore to copy books for free.
Now he is almost the most respected master in the Han Dynasty.
With him in charge of Nanxiang Academy, who would dare to look down upon him?
Coupled with the leadership of the royal family and the reputation of Feng Junhou as a disciple of an expert, arithmetic became a unique field.
So the students who are now coming out of the school are looked upon more highly than their previous seniors.
“I didn’t say that they must be the chief of the pavilion...”
Feng Junhou quickly complained.
“It’s hard to be a pavilion chief...”
Zhang Xingyi replied half a sentence subconsciously, then suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something, and a look of horror appeared on his face:
"You...you won't really let them become county magistrates, will you?"
“What’s not to do?”
“You are using your power for personal gain!”
Feng Yongyong looked at the woman with her elbows turned out dissatisfied, "Nonsense, how could I use my power for personal gain?"
"The Han Dynasty has its own promotion system. If you are like this...even if you are the governor of Liangzhou, you cannot recommend so many people."
"Even if you recommend so many people, you can't appoint them privately without the consent of the court. Are you crazy?"
Zhang Xingyi’s face was full of anxiety.
This husband of mine must be crazy, or he may be so swollen that he will be hung up on a flagpole by the Prime Minister to show off to the public.
Of course, if it were someone else, he might want to rebel...
But all the secrets of the Captain's Mansion will pass through his own hands. If this man suddenly wants to rebel, it can only be said that he is crazy...
Well, after all is said and done, it’s still crazy.
“You’re crazy! Did I say it was a private appointment?”
Feng Yong glared at the woman who didn't trust him angrily.
“It’s not a private appointment? Does that mean the Prime Minister agreed?”
Zhang Xingyi bit his fingers and looked embarrassed, "This shouldn't be the case! If you do this, I'm afraid you will lose the hope of the world's scholars."
No matter how chaotic the world is, the inspection and examination system is still the most important way to select officials.
To put it bluntly, Wei's nine-rank Zhongzheng system was derived from the Chaju system, except that the power of recommendation was taken away by aristocratic families instead of being in the hands of the imperial court.
The impression of later generations on the Han Dynasty's inspection and selection of officials system is probably limited to the promotion of filial piety and integrity, but in fact, the subjects of the Han Dynasty's inspection and selection of officials have been very complete.
The most influential example is filial piety and incorruptibility. Xiao means honoring parents; incorruptibility means being honest and diligent in government.
There is also Jumaocai, which refers to people with special talents among the people;
Cha Lian, that is, promoting low-level officials, is different from the "Integrity" in Xiaolian, which refers to honest officials;
The four elements of Guanglu are those who are simple, honest, humble and virtuous;
A virtuous and upright person, that is, a person who can speak out and give advice;
virtuous literature, possessing both moral character and literary talent, as well as a good foundation in Confucian classics;
Not to mention subjects such as filial piety, loyalty, and fields, Ming Jing, Ming Dharma, Ming Yin and Yang, disasters, bravery, and the art of war.
More importantly, combined with the inspection and promotion system, the system of raising scholars was also standardized, that is, the Imperial College was opened.
It is this relatively complete system of selecting officials and raising officials that has created a large number of high-quality Han officials and laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.
However, there is a fundamental drawback of the appraisal system, that is, the selection criteria are not clear enough, and the personal preferences of the selectors have a decisive impact on the results.
With the rise of aristocratic families, while controlling power, they also gradually monopolized intellectual resources. This system became a tool for aristocratic families to consolidate their status.
The Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System is the clarification of this historical trend.
“Then find a way not to disappoint them!”
Feng Yong said lightly.
"To put it lightly, if you do this, everyone in the world will know that you intend to deny other scholars a way to survive. What do you want others to think?"
Zhang Xingyi rolled his eyes at him.
“Isn’t it enough to let them participate? Those who are able will be promoted, and those who are unable will be demoted. Fair competition!”
Feng Junhou was already prepared. He took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and shook them, "As long as they can pass the exam, they can also become officials!"
"take an exam?"
“It’s just an exam.”
In fact, being an official in the Han Dynasty sometimes requires examinations.
For example, Emperor Xiaowen had "a hundred countermeasures, but (Chao) made the mistake of being Gao Di".
Emperor Guangwu made it even clearer and officially implemented the examination and appointment, that is, the written test.
But in general, examinations are still a supplementary form and do not occupy a major position. They mainly rely on recommendations.
Zhang Xingyi snatched it away with his hands. After a quick look, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Isn't this what you asked me to get some time ago?"
Some time ago, Feng Yong asked Zhang Xingyi to contact the secretariat to sort out some information about the Xiaowei Mansion and Liangzhou.
Zhang Xingyi didn't think much about it, just thinking that he was preparing to march into Liangzhou, but he didn't expect that it would be used here.
“Only part of it, there are also some topics selected from the classics compiled by the imperial court over the years. Of course, Nanxiang’s arithmetic is also indispensable..."
Zhang Xingyi took a breath of cold air and looked up at Feng Yong: "Just for Nanxiang arithmetic, there are probably not many scholars who have never been to Nanxiang who can pass it."
Nanxiang is the best in arithmetic in the world. This is really not bragging!
As long as students can stay in school for three years, they can basically compare with previous arithmetic masters.
Because those who cannot stay for three years have been eliminated and go out early to contribute to the big man.
So in Nanxiang, it can be said that arithmetic masters are everywhere on the streets.
“If they don’t know how to do arithmetic, then why would they want to work under me?”
Feng Junhou raised his chin, with a look of disdain on his face, "It's just a matter of sending people from the countryside to pave a road. They can't even calculate the money and food. Why are they here?"
Even the chief of the pavilion can casually talk about the era of 3824. As a chief official, you don’t even know the multiplication formula. Why do you have the shame to stay in this position?
Even the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty checked the money and food himself!
Zhang Xingyi’s heart suddenly beat violently. Her innate political talent made her instinctively feel that something was wrong with this matter!
"Is this thing... going to be a regular practice, or is it only implemented within the school captain's mansion?"
Many of the things implemented in Xiaowei's Mansion have never been done before.
Of course, in the words of his own Alang, that is, the things that the school captain's office encountered and the things it dealt with were very different from the past, so a new policy was tried.
It would be easy to say if it was only implemented within the school captain's office.
But, what is Alang’s identity now?
Liangzhou Governor!
And he is also the governor of Liangzhou who is about to be appointed governor!
To put it bluntly, Liangzhou accounts for half of the two states of the Han Dynasty!
I really want to make an example...
Zhang Xingyi finally understood what was wrong. She grabbed Feng Yong's hand suddenly and asked in a slightly trembling voice:...
