He has a big idea in his mind, and it seems that the key to unified education lies in the imperial examination, which is a correct key to education!
Section three hundred and thirty-three Alternate Officer Selection System 1
After the previous purge, petty officials in local government offices at all levels in Guangdong became somewhat sought after.
The petty official has never been a respectable person, and it is very solid, and it is more closed than the bureaucratic circle. He is either a father or a brother.
A big reason for this situation is that the system is intentional, because once a petty official becomes a petty official, he will be enrolled in another book. The so-called low-ranking officials will at that time enroll three types of people, namely, musicians from the Ji Yuan, petty officials and slaves, into Sun Fa, a petty official, to take part in the imperial examinations.
In the Qing Dynasty, the musical membership of the Jiyuan was abolished, but the petty officials and slaves were still qualified for the imperial examination by the base membership method.
It is often the grandchildren who become petty officials, and the cost is very high. Generally, few people are willing to settle down as petty officials.
However, this class is extremely important. Reports, records and various file systems have different formats, and there must be no deviation. These need to be mastered by professionals, and these are obviously done by petty officials.
Which yamen can leave this group of people? Perhaps feudal dynasty officials need such a talent to formulate such a system to restrict professionals who have mastered these literary skills from leaving the industry, just like Mongolian and Dai generals are tied to their books.
It is because there is a demand and I don’t want to waste energy to train slowly, so that a group of people can carry on their father’s business from generation to generation and save a great deal.
But the problem is that the only imperial examination that can change their destiny in the imperial era is to prevent these people from taking part in it, to limit their legal power, and to weave them into a nationality with slaves naturally makes people look down on these people.
Especially in the civil service circle, they despise petty officials in personality, but they are indispensable to do things. It can be said that it is these grass-roots petty officials who really support the government institutions, not those literati who talk about drinking all day [oM].
This kind of being despised in personality will really cause psychological distortion to this group, and they will not restrain themselves without any sense of honor, because what can you be noble when you are noble or poor or can’t get approval from others?
Therefore, this kind of despised petty officials is particularly bad when they treat civilians who are less powerful than them. Their behavior in turn makes the people hate them.
There is a saying among the people that "officials are like big fish, collectors are like small fish, and they are like tigers, collectors are like cats, but they are concrete and slightly licking people’s paste." It is not surprising that ordinary people regard these petty officials who are in direct contact with them as evil cats.
However, such a group of people whose personalities are distorted by the social system are really powerful. They can not only bully a small person, but even those officials in their company have ways to deal with them. They are good at deceiving, deceiving, cheating, colluding and other skills. They selectively implement the administrative details and operational procedures assigned to them by officials. They deceive, hinder, mislead and even intimidate officials with higher status than them. Once they are weak, unfamiliar, sloppy or capable, they can win over them.
Petty officials are such a group of people whose legal status is not believed, feared and hated. Officials despise them, but they can skillfully use their seemingly weak but indispensable power to bully Wang and intimidate officials. They are not welcome at all but cannot live without them.
So who is wrong, who is to blame, who hates, and who seems to be unable to find a goal, because this is the product of the long-term development of bureaucracy, which is the cheapest and most inefficient system
The ancient system of China is full of this paradox, not only the petty bourgeoisie but also the military stratum, which is also rejected by people. Life is not guaranteed and people have to blackmail Wang, which in turn makes people despise [oM].
In this case, Zhu Jinglun had to carry out reform, and he could not accept this inefficient and costly system.
However, Zhu Jinglun also has to admit that this is a minimum system, because if he wants petty officials not to benefit from bad rules, he must pay them well so that they can live a decent life, so that they will not benefit from favoritism and malpractice, and the realistic pressure is to strengthen strict supervision measures. High crime and success can combat corruption
Therefore, before Zhu Jinglun’s promotion, the treatment of the government officials was greatly increased, which carried a heavy financial burden.
However, this move is very popular among petty officials. After all, not every petty official can make a fortune from bad rules. Only those petty officials with the most flexible minds can really make a fortune. Most petty officials are also given a little routine rules to make a living.
Having such a group of people to support it is still a big gain, because after all, these people are dealing with the specific affairs of the government. Their enthusiasm for work is high, and the effectiveness of the government can be greatly improved. Moreover, they are used to having no political status and the situation is a little better for them. Their rebellious spirit is gone immediately.
The most welcome thing for petty officials is that Zhu Jinglun abolished the restriction that petty officials can’t take the imperial examination. Although this group of people with relatively fine minds realized that Zhu Jinglun was already a fact, it seems that the signboard of the buffer region was not as big as that of the imperial court, but they still eagerly expected Zhu Jinglun to take the imperial examination and let them taste the feeling of learning written martial arts.
At that time, the petty officials and brothers also set off a wave of reading, but reading was still before the Fourth Five Classics. Before that, they were just like craftsmen. Although they also read and wrote, the main thing was to be able to understand official documents and inherit a set of beautiful official documents from their parents. It is really nothing to read or not read the Fourth Five Classics.
Obviously, the sense of sacredness and awe of the old lady’s thoughts in the hearts of petty officials is not as strong as that of the civil servants and the gentry who gave birth to the civil servants.
With the lifting of the restrictions on the petty bourgeoisie, not only the petty bourgeoisie itself has the motivation to read, but also the readers’ scruples about the status of petty bourgeoisie have disappeared. Although most readers can’t change their disdain for petty bourgeoisie, those poor people are so poor that they can maintain their status as petty bourgeoisie. This kind of work has become less unacceptable. In Jiazhu Jinglun, the salary for petty bourgeoisie is extremely generous. At one time, many readers applied for the position of county magistrate, thinking of continuing to read while working in the government, hoping to become officials one day.
However, the rebound is also a big monopoly of the imperial examination. The gentry class, especially those whose younger brothers have higher discipline, are extremely opposed to Zhu Jinglun’s move. These people are often prominent families in the local area and are the backbone of the gentry class. Their energy should not be underestimated.
In order not to offend the whole class, Zhu Jinglun did not dare to directly promote the political status of petty officials.
Now, after the implementation of the lowest education reform, Zhu Jinglun thinks of the imperial examination and fame, and Zhu Jinglun decides to change his thinking and make a breakthrough from all sides.
He decided not to negotiate with the stubborn old ladies any more. He wanted to make them talk to him.
So Zhu Jinglun soon announced that petty officials can not only take the exam to be an official, but also officials at all levels must have at least three years of practical work experience, that is, they must do three years of petty officials’ direct contact with the bottom people and directly face the specific work of the people before becoming an official.
He wanted to do this for a long time, but the squire class opposed it. He didn’t dare to carry it out because he didn’t want to anger this class. Now those die-hards have become the biggest resistance to his progress, so he must put pressure on these people. Reform is to carry out modern politics in this mutual game, which is an art of mutual compromise.
Acton, a famous historian, once said that compromise is the political soul. All political principles, including institutions and laws, are the products of constant negotiations between the two sides of the transaction. Just like playing cards, everyone has his own cards and a bottom line for his chips.
Once the bottom line method of both sides bridges politics, it will collapse, and then the reform will evolve into a revolution. For example, the American Civil War is not the issue of slavery. Isn’t it impossible for both sides to reach a compromise at the bottom line and must be resolved by war?
Zhu Jinglun has thrown a card now. He is waiting for the die-hards to play. He is willing to compromise to some extent, but the other side must also compromise with him and then push the reform a little further.
Sure enough, the whole gentry class in Guangdong was angry, and they accepted that they were promoted or maintained their special status through the imperial examination and the passage was occupied by the petty officials.
For the gentry class, the imperial examination and land are the two most important things in their generation. The biggest contradiction between Guangdong natives and guests is the struggle for land, and the other is the struggle for school places. This contradiction can finally lead to a fight between natives and guests, which can also lead to a confrontation between the gentry class and Zhu Jinglun.
While the squires mobilized the villagers to make a threatening gesture, they jointly petitioned the government. Zhu Jinglun also mobilized the army. Every county has his army, ranging from more than 100 to 1,000. He controls the city, but he is willing to talk to the petitioning squire.
"The petty officials’ registration has been abolished, and there are no petty officials in Guangdong. In the new regulations, you can call government officials officials to prepare them. Each of them is quite an alternate official. Once they do well in Mandarin, they can better understand the people’s feelings."
Zhu Jinglun explained his reason for petitioning the gentry of noble family.
