Chapter 145: Chapter 144
Chapter 145 144 Punishment of Japanese
The topics of the four examiners in the outer room, as the main tester and deputy examiner of the provincial examination, naturally cannot be mixed.
Their duty is to find insightful test papers from the papers handed over by the examiners, and then give them a ranking, and the work is completed.
Whether they have any biases during the review of the test papers is not important. As long as they do not miss joints or other things that affect the fairness of the provincial examination, most of them turn a blind eye.
Even if the candidate who is called Wei or something, what if they write the strategy theory very well? If the eight-legged article is not done well, they will still lose their losses.
It is a justification for the national selection of wise men. It cannot be just because the candidate has a reputation or can do things. No matter whether his article is done well or not, the most important article level must be at a medium level, that is, whether it is acceptable or not. That is to be fair. No matter where the test paper is handed over, you can't find a mistake.
When the imperial examination is in the provincial examination, the level of the candidates must be comprehensively considered.
At this time, Wei Guangde was lying on the lounge chair in the back garden of the inn. The coffee table next to it was filled with various seasonal fruits and delicacies. He was surrounded by classmates and friends. Everyone relaxed and rested here physically and mentally and chatted because of the end of the exam.
Wei Guangde naturally guessed that his name should have reached the ears of the examiners. In fact, he guessed that it might be like this more than two years ago, but he didn't know if this reputation could help him win the provincial examination.
Well, Wei Guangde is completely different now than three years ago.
The previous belief that I had been swearing is no longer there. Let’s bet on luck. I hope the examiner can give me a clear look and let me pass the exam smoothly.
Well, at that time, at Lu Ming’s banquet, I will bring a lot of generous gifts to you.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, killed corrupt officials, which was a cruel thing, but this corrupt official could not be killed.
Well, corrupt officials are also one after another, and Wei Guangde didn't want to be a honest official either. It's too hard.
The turbid official, it’s more moisturizing.
The imperial examination emphasizes fairness and justice, but it is also a good way for officials to make money.
Of course, making money here is not a serious crime like selling test questions or selling fame and fame.
In fact, Pengze Tang County Zun worked very beautifully in the last year of Pengze.
A few years ago, he was just a magistrate of Nihu County and was considered a pure name. He left a lot of good reputation in Pengze. Even if the Jiangxi Censor secretly visited Pengze, all he found out was the name of a clean official.
However, in the county examination in the last year, it was obvious that the local gentry and wealthy families were on the list.
Such officials are much smarter than those corrupt officials who have been plundered from beginning to end. They have made money and have a good reputation left behind.
As for whether there was any unfairness in the last year, the Chinese people are simple, in their opinion, do you still want to make the honest officials and become officials on hungry days?
When it comes to the provincial examination and the subsequent college examination, the examiner receives gifts from the candidates on the list, which is a customary rule, thank you for your teacher.
It should be noted that if Wei Guangde passes the exam, he must prepare at least three gifts of thanks. In addition to the chief examiner and the deputy chief examiner, he also has to give his own room teacher, that is, the examiner.
The same examiners reviewed the papers in separate rooms, which may be the origin of the name of the house teacher.
The policy of the Jiangxi provincial examination this year is the hottest topic in the exam, the Japanese pirates.
Since the 31st year of Jiajing, coastal prefectures and counties have been repeatedly attacked by Japanese pirates, which has already shocked the northern and southern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court has lost all its face.
Wei Guangde suppressed this strategy early in the morning.
In fact, this is not to say how smart he is, but the hottest topic at present, and it is also the number one hot search in later generations.
Wei Guangde knew very well that other candidates would definitely pay attention to it. Now it depends on how they will think about this issue.
Compared with others, Wei Guangde's only advantage is his hundreds of years of experience.
Especially in the eight-year war of resistance in later generations, in Wei Guangde's eyes, there were only eight years. The war between China and Japan had begun since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. After the 9th and 18th, hatred also reached a peak at this time. The subsequent July 7th Incident only caused the hatred to break out completely.
However, no one in later generations thought of the current Ming Dynasty's anti-Japanese war. After all, in that era, everyone knew clearly that the so-called Japanese pirates were actually pirates.
Most of the Ming people at present do not realize the Japanese ambitions and the thoughts of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom are deeply rooted.
Wei Guangde would not attack this kind of thought, in fact, it is right to have such thoughts now.
At this time, the Ming Empire had a comprehensive national strength that dominated the world, but in terms of military strength, it was weak due to various reasons, so it seemed that its national strength was weak.
Therefore, Wei Guangde's plan to pacify the Japanese state begins with the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese state after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.
"Emperor Taizu and Gao are all in the world. Everyone is a servant outside the sea. However, Japan has sent envoys to instruct him before he arrived."
At the beginning, Wei Guangde talked about Japan's disobedience towards the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, the country was still called Japan in the Ming Dynasty, but the name of Japan had already spread to the Ming Dynasty, so Wei Guangde did not call them Japan.
The previous talk about Japan's hostility towards the Ming Dynasty, and then the topic turned to "God has the virtue of living a life", which means that the court should send envoys to instruct it to let the king of Japan restrain his subordinates and avoid the loss of life in the war between the two countries.
As for suppressing the Japanese, Wei Guangde naturally mainly chose generals, trained troops, and raised funds. Most scholars in this era could think of suppressing the Japanese in the first two, and many of them were even shouting slogans to suppress the Japanese and killing the enemy with their mouths.
Wei Guangde would not make such a mistake, that is sorry for his origin.
It should be noted that Wei Guangde knew that the current tax law was problematic. In later generations, taxes were mainly commercial taxes, so who would focus on taxation on agriculture?
In fact, in Wei Guangde's view, the current Japanese riots along the coast are an opportunity to break the existing tax model of the Ming Dynasty.
But Wei Guangde did not intend to be a lie. Regarding the commercial tax imposed, Wei Guangde knew whose cake he had touched. This is a topic he must not touch at this stage.
However, as a temporary tax collection measure to suppress the Japanese, Wei Guangde felt that it could be mentioned.
After the Japanese pirates were wiped out, the temporary tax on Japanese suppression was suspended.
In Wei Guangde's view, the Japanese rebellion in Jiajing cannot be suppressed in a short period of time, otherwise it would not be so famous in later generations.
If you come to power in the future, it would be best to completely pacify it, gain both fame and fortune.
At that time, the Japanese tax will be replaced with a name, and a fixed part of the income will be given to the Governor's Office of the Five Army, so that the military nobles can share the benefits. The adults from the Ministry of War should also support it. After all, if the money is collected, they will be first sent to the Governor's Office and the various garrisons. Everyone will have benefits.
The Ministry of Revenue may have a voice, but it should be suppressed. After all, the money must be reached first, and they can also share some money.
That is, the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Works and Ministry of Justice have no benefits.
The Ministry of Justice can actually share the profits. The Ministry of Justice must handle the tax evasion. The benefits will not be less during the trial process. The income from the fines and confiscation will be distributed to them.
