Chapter 93: The Structure of a Super-Stable Society
Standing on a high mountain, you can see the outline of the earth clearly, and standing on a high position, you can see clearly the appearance of the human heart.
The way to change people's hearts is actually not that complicated. As long as they are given enough benefits, people's hearts will naturally change. This may be the reason why humans win in the natural selection of nature.
Most of those who do not make changes or surrender will be naturally eliminated or eliminated humanely, and finally become a handful of dissidents and are spurned by all vested interests.
At the beginning, there were only a few in Yushan Academy. As the students of Yushan Academy began to work as officials in Guanzhong, more and more people were willing to come to Yushan Academy.
Speaking of which, being an official is really attractive to Ming people.
In order to be able to enter Yushan Academy, they are willing to cut off their feet to fit the shoes, are willing to abandon the eight-part essay that they have studied for half their lives, and are even willing to abandon the so-called awe-inspiring spirit that they have cultivated for half their lives.
However, the subjects of Yushan Academy are very different from what they studied in the past. It is extremely difficult to master them overnight. Even people like Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu spent two years before they could catch up. The academic progress of students in the Lower School of Shangyushan Academy.
Any knowledge has a step-by-step process, and arithmetic and geophysical studies are even more so. Without starting from the very beginning, the simplest knowledge, it is difficult to cultivate arithmetic thinking and geophysical thinking.
The new "Geography" subverted the Ming people's understanding of the world.
Therefore, countless students rushed over thousands of miles, and in the end most of them failed on the threshold of the entrance examination.
Desperate people turn around and go home. The poor or unwilling ones will live in Lantian County, working for others and studying hard, hoping that one day they can enter Yushan Academy.
Lantian County naturally ignored those who turned around and left. As for those students who were interested in studying and willing to change themselves, Lantian County showed great goodwill.
The government actively found these students jobs such as document copying, and Yushan Academy also specially sent teachers to summon these students every three days to teach them the most basic arithmetic and physics knowledge.
The business atmosphere in Lantian County is too strong, which is not good.
People can’t eat and drink like crazy when they make money. They can’t build houses with all the money they earn, let alone throw it all into Mingyue Tower.
As the number of scholars in Lantian County increases, some teahouses that originally had only one storyteller gradually began to have some small plays. I heard that Mingyue Tower has begun to produce large-scale Jiangnan plays.
The army in Guanzhong isolated all the bandits, officers, soldiers, and slaves outside the pass, which in turn created a scene where the people in the pass were peaceful and prosperous.
This is partly due to Yun Zhao's contribution, but more importantly, it is the efforts of the Guanzhong people themselves that have created today's powerful Guanzhong.
From another aspect, this also represents the complete decline of the Ming imperial power in the northwest. Many wise scholars believe that within ten years, Guanzhong will definitely be separated from the Ming Dynasty and a separate mountain will be established, just like the Xixia in the past. , Dali-like... maybe even more serious.
It is the same in all dynasties. Whenever a country is destroyed and a family is destroyed, there will be countless people of insight who will rush to call for this dying dynasty.
They determined that Lantian County was a far more dangerous existence than Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong and others.
On the issue of gold and silver, they are as stubborn as donkeys.
Yun Zhao did not refute, nor did Yushan Academy. Anyway, most of the people who listened to these words were scholars, and scholars could not come to Lantian County. As long as they came, they would basically come and go.
It’s not that Lantian County cut all these people into pieces, but it’s that studying here is so comfortable.
There are all the books you want here. The 40 million words in a complete "Yongle Dadian" are enough for a scholar to study for several lifetimes.
The quiet life you want is available here. You don’t have to worry about the government dragging you to be the head of grain, and you don’t have to worry about gangsters kidnapping your children and asking you for money, and you don’t have to worry about the consequences of your studies. There is a situation of sitting back and getting nothing, as long as your research direction is valuable, you will generally be subsidized.
Yun Zhao gritted his teeth and spent 160,000 taels of silver to build the Yushan Academy. Only then did he reveal his unparalleled golden light.
When you accumulate knowledge to a certain extent, you will be able to produce something. Just a glass business is enough for Yushan Academy to maintain its daily expenses.
In addition, Yushan Academy has also learned from Yunshi and continues to support some seemingly new business categories, such as medical research. Although the benefits are not large at the moment, in the long run, their benefits will be Amazing.
When June arrives, Lantian County’s summer harvest is nearly halfway through.
Every day that passes, large tracts of wheat on the plains turn yellow and mature.
In the past few years, at this time, Lantian County needed to mobilize everyone to harvest wheat in the fields.
Now, no need. As refugees continue to pour into Guanzhong, those with high value-added jobs are no longer willing to leave their jobs to cut wheat.
This kind of calculation or lazy behavior will be contagious, so more people will not be willing to go to the fields to harvest wheat.
Therefore, the Guanzhong Plain is full of bare-backed temporary workers harvesting food for the Guanzhong people, and they are more efficient.
The agricultural population in Lantian County has changed three times. The first one was the aborigines. When Lantian County began its initial commercial activities, they put down their hoes and rented their fields to those who did not have them. The refugees of the land.
When Lantian County began to expand outward, Guanzhong had more business opportunities, so this batch completed the originalThose who had accumulated money also began to invest in commercial activities and rented their land to new refugees.
When Lantian County improved various social structures, countless government departments needed to recruit a large number of people to serve the people. Therefore, the Guanzhong aborigines selected their best children to enter. The government service department has completed the transition of its identity.
Class is an inevitable product of historical development. As long as a mechanism is constructed to allow people to move up and down, it will be able to operate on its own.
Yunzhao has formulated two channels for Lantian County to go up and down the class and one channel for supervision - one is Yushan Academy, the second is the army, and the third is the legal beast!
Today's Lantian County has sent an obvious signal - only students who graduated from Yushan Academy can serve as officials, and the door of Yushan Academy is open to everyone.
As long as you are from the Ming Dynasty, even if you are not in Lantian County or Guanzhong, even if you are a bandit, the son or daughter of a criminal official, even if you are penniless, no matter how strange your life experience is, as long as you are If you can get into Yushan Academy, then you will have only one identity from now on - that is, you will be a student of Yushan.
Second, it is the army. Phoenix Mountain Camp has never been a military camp. To be precise, it is a training base for Lantian soldiers. It also does not ask about personal origins or whether you have money. I just ask if you are from Ming Dynasty.
As long as you are from the Ming Dynasty, then you have the first condition to enter the Phoenix Mountain Camp.
The rest is only related to your personal qualities. As long as you enter the Phoenix Mountain Camp, no matter how humiliating your past is, your life will open a new page.
The majestic and tall seated Haechi statue has been placed at the highest point of Yushan. It stares down at the vast earth with a pair of huge eyes and a sharp horn, seeming to swallow up all the injustices in the world. .
When the red sun appeared from behind him, the two-foot-tall seated Haechi statue looked extremely tall. It itself was a huge natural rock on Yushan Mountain, integrated with Yushan Mountain and indestructible.
The classes in Guanzhong have been formed, and the prototype of a social system with an ultra-stable structure has been revealed.
Throughout history, most dynasties can only build a social structure of this scale in the second generation of the dynasty.
At this time, Lantian County was called a country, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Qian Duoduo and Feng Ying walked in from the outside carrying a blue floral square handkerchief and an exquisite bamboo basket. They went to pick wheat ears in the fields at home.
This pretentious habit is a rule set by Li Shimin's wife, Empress Changsun.
The object of education is not only the queens of the past dynasties, but also an etiquette that the hostesses of all families must follow.
Since it is a etiquette, don’t expect much practical effect.
It can be seen from Qian Duoduo's basket that the wheat ears in it are probably not enough to feed the two old white geese at home.
Feng Ying’s place was not much better. There were not many ears of wheat, but there were two more grasshopper cages woven with wheat straw. Each cage contained a fat and big grasshopper, who was trying to survive there. call.
In Yunchun and Yunhua, one person held an umbrella in his hand. There was an umbrella in his hand, but the two of them were burned like charcoal by the poisonous sun in June in Guanzhong. They obviously took the umbrella. I went to protect Qian Duoduo and Feng Ying from the sun.
This was supposed to be Qian Duoduo’s extravagant habit, but now it has also infected Feng Ying.
Yun Zhao is using a spoon to scrape rhubarb and apricots that are as sweet as honey and feed them to his two sons.
The three fathers and sons under the shade of the tree looked extremely warm. The two little ones opened their mouths wide and waited for their father to feed them apricot syrup, but their father was busy stuffing spoonfuls of apricot syrup into their mouths. It was not Yun Zhao who refused to give them. My son eats it, but it’s not good for children to eat too much apricots.
"Hey, uncle, are you free to take care of your son today?"
Qian Duoduo grabbed the two largest apricots and gave one to Feng Ying, then gnawed one hard himself.
Yun Zhao looked up at the two busy women, shook his head slightly, and fed Yun Zhang half a spoonful of apricot syrup. Seeing that Yun Xian's mouth was still open, he also poured it into his mouth. A spoon was stuffed in his mouth.
After eating apricot pulp, the two children discovered the existence of their mother, abandoned their stingy father, and went to their mother to beg for food.
"Our family has too little land. Prince Qin's family has more land than ours." Qian Duoduo didn't know what bad intentions he had.
After Yun Zhao ate the remaining half of the apricot, he said quietly: "Our family will have less and less land in the future."
Money is like a trampled bird. The old cat started jumping up and down when it reached its tail.
"Who dares to take advantage of our land?"
"The Secretary of Government Affairs, the Secretary of Military Affairs, and Haechi held a review meeting. In the future, a salary system will be implemented among officials. The real estate under an official's name cannot exceed one thousand acres, and there is a limit. Our family obviously exceeds the limit." After Qian Duoduo heard what Yun Zhao said, he rolled his eyes and said immediately: "That's good. Ah, the husband has one thousand acres, the mother has one thousand acres, the concubine has one thousand acres, Feng Ying has one thousand acres, Yunzhang has one thousand acres, Yunxian has one thousand acres, so there are six thousand acres, and there are more than five hundred acres left. Let Haechi take the land."
Yun Zhao sighed: "You have this kind of mentality, what do you want others to think?"
Qian Duoduo gritted his teeth. : "Don't you realize that this law is aimed at you? Your subordinates are either orphans or poor people. How can they get a thousand acres of land? Lose our family's land and earn a name for them. Don't even think about it!"
Yun Zhao smiled faintly and said: "The King of Qin agrees very much and is willing to join the official position!"
