Chapter 881: The insightful Xin Qitao
The courses he taught were neither profound nor theoretical, just some practical practices and examples. The person who taught them looked like a vulgar person, and there was a sense of despicability in his words and deeds.
This is simply ridiculous. Scholars, farmers, and merchants, scholars are the most noble, and businessmen are the lowest. But what they learn here is the knowledge of serving businessmen and doing things for businessmen. And then the officials are even more humble servants, who have not been able to take the imperial examination for generations.
We are not even considered to be in the fourth level of agriculture, industry and commerce, but he actually asked us to learn his knowledge and farming. What can we learn from the poor peasants? After studying hard, isn't it just that we don't want to endure this hardship? As for maritime shipping
, that is a life-threatening job, and it is only done by people who have no royal skills. Is this what we, noble scholars, are going to do?
And look at who is listening to the class, there are clerks in the business, there are white servants who help in the yamen, and even Tartars from the grassland, and occasionally you can see strange-looking ghosts. The sage said that there is no difference in education, but this is not the case
Everyone teaches me anything, but there are still many children who should be attending private schools, and young people who should be getting academic awards, but they are actually listening attentively. This is really corrupting the children and damaging morality.
It's extremely absurd. It seems that Xuzhou is just a gathering of ordinary thieves and bandits. They become arrogant when they get lucky. They don't know how to recruit talents and don't know how to respect scholars. How can such short-sighted and violent people survive for a long time?
From reading history books, reading various miscellaneous unofficial histories, and listening to commentaries and plays, anyone who wants to rebel and get out of a situation attaches great importance to scholars, especially at the beginning, even if they don't
When scholars with a good reputation come, they have to walk backwards to greet them and stand tall, and then they will attract talented people from all walks of life. This was not the case when the country was founded. Even during the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms, during the Liao, Jin, and Meng Yuan periods, who
Instead of being polite and respectful to scholars and scholars, otherwise, it is just a tyrant and a flash in the pan. Being associated with such a force will not only have no benefits and future, but will easily get into trouble. Let's see how he falls.
Most of the scholars who came with great interest have left. Many people feel that the short-term training class itself is an insult. Some people also left after attending the first class. They feel that these are cheap professions and that studying this is a way to degrade themselves.
, there are also people who listened to it for a few days and then left. They have read the books of sages since they were young and only know how to recite them. They cannot accept these completely different approaches.
Only a few people stayed. They either really had no way to go, or they felt that they had no future in the imperial examination.
Most of the scholars who have nowhere to go are from Shandong. Needless to mention the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the imperial government's Liao salary has wiped out their last traces of loyalty. Their own fields cannot be retained, the imperial court cannot distribute grain and rice, and their wives and children are hungry. Here,
Under such circumstances, whoever has the heart to study should first eat enough to support the family.
Many scholars from Shandong were no different from refugees when they arrived in Xuzhou. Giving them a way to survive was better than anything else.
Then there are the local scholars in Xuzhou. The literary style here is not strong, and there is no way out for reading books. It is funny to say that the place with the most students studying in Xuzhou is Xuzhou Sanwei. Only the generals of the guards are better off, and only these soldiers of the guards are better off.
The general wanted his children to prosper in their official careers. These scholars in Xuzhou watched Zhao Ziying grow with their own eyes, watched how poverty and decayed Xuzhou improved step by step, and watched how Zhao Ziying destroyed Yunshan Temple and pacified the thieves from the East.
, frightened off the imperial cavalry, went south and north to defeat the imperial army, and watched how the neighbors and relatives who were originally numb and desperate around them straightened their backs.
As Xuzhou natives, they know better than others what Zhao Jin has done and what changes Xuzhou has made, so they have more confidence in Zhao Jin. What worries the local scholars in Xuzhou is that there are no scribes under the Zhao Ziying system.
As long as the warriors dare to wield swords and guns, this short-term training course will open a way for everyone. Although it is for outsiders, it does not say that locals are not allowed to go.
"This is a good approach. Although there are great principles in the scriptures, you can't do good political affairs if you don't understand the actual practice. The Han, Tang, and Song dynasties all said that you can't enter the central government without going through the local area, but our dynasty has gone the other way. It emphasizes that you can go directly to the cabinet without leaving the capital.
, He has not left the capital for more than 20 years and has become the leader and assistant, but it has become a good talk. But except for the talented people, how can the people in charge govern the world if they don't know the place? Are these truths really found in the books of sages?"
A Jinshi was born and entered the Hanlin Academy, and then worked step by step in important positions in the Qing Dynasty. When he was almost old, he could join the cabinet and become a bachelor. If he was lucky, he could become a second assistant or first assistant. After more than 20 years, except
He was released to serve as an examiner, returned to his hometown to worship ancestors, and other things, but stayed in the capital, and then took charge of the world's affairs and assisted the emperor. He had no experience at all, and he didn't even know anything about government affairs.
This is not a joke, but a common practice in the Ming Dynasty. As long as the top pick, second place, and top pick in the Charli Science Department, most of them have this experience.
"Not to mention the center, it is not the same in the local areas. This scholar has been reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and he was released after passing the exam. What does he know? Does he know the joints in taxes, taxes, and labor? Do you know the tricks of the following officials? I want to
To do things, you don't have to rely on your master's friends. He will be there for a few years and then leave. But the officials and local gentry in the yamen have been here for generations. In the end, what is the use of officials sent by the imperial court? They are just a front and a sign.
, those who really control the local people are these officials and gentry tyrants."
When it comes to this, everyone understands it even more. Don't talk about others. Tong Huaizu, the magistrate of Xuzhou, is an example. He really began to understand local government affairs, understand the joints and disadvantages, and knew where to start. The first term was almost full, and by that time everyone had already
I dare not respond vaguely, but the sergeant Jin himself does not want to stay in the local area for too long. Staying in office is a depressing and demoralizing activity, and it seems to outsiders that there is no future. This Tong Huaizu is also a special case. After he stays in office, he can manage and intervene in local affairs.
By that time, everyone was only listening to Zhao Jin's orders.
"Learn some practical skills, know some rules, and set up more civil servants with court salaries, so that the court can do things as it did in the Han Dynasty. The emperor's will is heard by the people. But now, no one listens to the court's rules and decrees. On the contrary,
It has become a means of corruption and perversion of the law at the lower levels. If the taxes, corvees, and wages are only collected in positive numbers, the people may not be able to survive even a little bit of hardship. However, the lower levels are trying to get rich, and the lower levels are even more severe. Everywhere is ruined and families are destroyed.
, resenting the imperial court everywhere."
These words were all said by Xin Qitao, the Juren, who had a high opinion of the short-term training class. This made Wang Zhaojing overjoyed and relayed it to Zhao Jin as soon as possible every time.
Zhao Jin can also understand this. People always want to be known for their achievements and want to hear more comments from others. If it is one's own peers, their practical praise will be even more satisfying.
"You have the overall situation in mind more than I do, and you are always trying to recruit talents from all over the world." Zhao Jin occasionally sighed with a wry smile.
Wang Zhaojing's narration of Xin Juren's words is nothing more than proof that Xin Qitao is a talent and is very suitable for Xuzhou. Zhao Jin should take the initiative to recruit him.
Although Xin Juren's speech and views are different from those of Zhao Jin and others, it is quite remarkable that a scholar who is different from Xuzhou can have such insights, and he is indeed worthy of the title of talent.
In fact, Zhao Jin has also met Xin Qitao. Wang Zhaojing led this person around Xuzhou all day long. It is normal for Zhao Jin to happen to appear somewhere and take a look from a distance.
After meeting him, even though he saw him from a distance, Zhao Jin's evaluation of this person was much higher, because this person's temperament is very similar to Wang Zhaojing. Rich people tend to spoil their children, but similarly, people from a rich family can spoil their children.
He has better conditions to train people than poor people, so Xin Qitao is obviously not a wasted type.
And the similarity between this person and Wang Zhaojing is not just in temperament, but also because this person is indeed good at both civil and military affairs. The information I originally heard from Kaifeng said that this person is good at calligraphy and swordsmanship. According to Wang Zhaojing, Xin Qitao's calligraphy, silver hooks and iron paintings,
It is so extraordinary that even Wang Youshan admires it.
It is not uncommon for scribes to have excellent calligraphy, but it is often exaggerated to say that someone is both civil and martial arts. Maybe he can perform Wu Qin Xi and be regarded as a master of martial arts, but this Xin Qitao's body and movements can make people see that he has really worked hard on martial arts.
, according to those who observed him, if you look at Xin Qitao practicing swordsmanship in his spare time, he is really capable of killing people.
Zhao Jin couldn't help but wonder, what is the relationship between calligraphy and sword skills? Maybe they both focus on arm, wrist and control. Do they have mutually reinforcing effects?
This Xin Qitao has a calm and restrained temperament, extraordinary insight, and is both civil and military, not to mention his special status as a candidate for the Ming Dynasty. Recruiting such a person will be of great benefit to Zhao Ziying. There should be no doubt about this.
However, Zhao Jin was not in a hurry. He was still hesitating. Someone had already cited the examples of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in front of him, saying that only after the First Lord captured Wolong could he divide the world into three parts.
Zhao Jin didn't like this metaphor very much, so he naturally didn't listen to it. Zhao Ziying started from a few brothers playing around in the goods yard, and developed all the way to today. It can be said to be a leap, or it can be said to be a miracle, but there is nothing like a dragon or a phoenix in it.
Chu's achievements are all due to the brothers' fighting with swords and guns, and relying on day and night calculations and calculations. This is what we are today. When it comes to knowledge, Zhao Jin feels that Chen Huang is the most knowledgeable among the brothers, and he has the calmness.
He Juejue really helped Zhao Ziying too much, but who does this newly arrived Xin Qitao mean?
It can be used, and there are benefits to using it, but there is no need to put it in such a high position. How much of Juren's knowledge and insight can be used in Zhao Ziying's side? Even Wang Zhaojing's knowledge of calligraphy and classics has no effect.

Ever since the child was born, Xu Zhenzhen didn't want to live in the camp. According to her, the evil spirit in the camp was too strong and might frighten the child. Xu Zhenzhen and Mu Shulan also had to do things every day, and those spy spies came in and out.
It's also troublesome.
