Chapter 618: Supervisor of the Central Plains Nineteen

"Dangdangdang"

A sound of gongs sounded from the drum tower. The clerk who had just read it immediately stopped and walked aside to have tea, but another clerk walked out from the side to continue reading.

"Submitted to the prince's tutor, Grand Secretary of Jianji Hall, Minister of Rites, and Supervisor Liu Ge Lao Ling, bandits rampant, and the way of heaven is unstable, resulting in the collapse of the government and the political affairs are not prosperous. Now the treasury of Huguang, Henan and other underworlds are empty, and from today, the students and food will no longer be paid to the two places..."

"Wow"

Among the group of scholars who were trying hard to listen to the preaching under the Drum Tower, many of them had just arrived at the Drum Tower like the scholar with a mole on his left cheek. When they heard this, they were all furious.

"Protest, we protest!"

"The national dynasty raised scholars was the ancestor's law set by Taizu. Why should Liu Wujiang abolish it?"

"Yes, we are going to the capital to file a lawsuit!"

...

The scholars under the Drum Tower kept making noises loudly, but the gang of scholars on the Drum Tower seemed to have not heard it, and they all looked downstairs with a smile.

After a few minutes, the scholars downstairs showed no sign of stopping, so the gang of clerks on the upstairs had to keep beating the gong. The sound of "Dangdang" quickly suppressed other sounds on the scene.

"Sujing, you are all reading the books of sages. Listen to me after reading it." The clerk who read it before directly scolded everyone.

The scholar downstairs could not bear such grievances, and someone immediately wanted to climb up from the corridor.

However, a powerful footstep suddenly came from the cave in the Drum Tower, and twenty officers and soldiers wearing big red mandarin duck fat jackets came out one after another.

"If anyone dares to collide with the government's missionary, they will be arrested and sent to prison immediately!"

The team leader and other figures shouted loudly at the group of eagerly trying, and their expressionless attitude made the soldiers tremble in their hearts.

Wuchang has just experienced a great war, and the blood outside the city has not yet disappeared. The people of the prefectures and counties around Wuchang are still scared and are very awe of the officers and soldiers.

Seeing that the downstairs gradually became quiet, the clerk upstairs continued to say loudly:

"Don't worry, all scholars, Liu Ge Lao is known as Liu Bodhisattva, how could he cut off everyone's life for no reason? In addition to stop paying rice and grain for students, from today, Huguang, Henan and other places will begin to implement official reforms."

"All the original officials in the yamen at all levels will be suspended. The yamen in the yamen at all levels will re-determine the number of officials in the yamen at all levels of the province, prefecture, and county, and recruit all the scholars and people. This is the way Liu Ge Lao thought of for everyone."

"Shameless!"

The clerk didn't say that, but when he heard that Liu Ximing actually asked everyone to be clerks, all the scholars were bizarrely angry.

The scholar with a mole on his left cheek stood up among the angry condemnation scholars and bowed to the top of the drum tower.

:

"Student, student Xiong Bolong, Xiong Hanhou, a student from Hanyang County, is an official and a scholar who is studying. He is all about taking exams in the field and practicing the way of helping the world and the people. Who would like to lose his future for these five dou of rice?"

"Please forgive me for being rude. The yamen in charge of this evil policy is actually an enemy of the scholars of all Huguang. I also asked the official to report back to the Liuge tribe as soon as possible and change evil and do good as soon as possible."

"Hahaha, Brother Han Hou said."

"Yes, so extreme!"

Xiong Bolong was obviously quite famous among the scholars of Wuchang. As soon as he came forward, all the following were echoing.

The clerk upstairs nodded to Xiong Bolong with a smile, "This scholar, the dragon and phoenix among the old man Liu Ge, what you think about is he who doesn't know? Please wait and listen to me."

"This dynasty has been in chaos since Taizu, and now it has become a trend of corruption and bribery. It is precisely because of the old customs and bad habits that the court has accumulated for hundreds of years that Liu Ge Lao proposed that today there are five harms that will be greatly affected. If the world wants to return to peace, these five harms must be eliminated."

As the clerk spoke, he stretched out his right hand and pointed one by one.

"The first harm is that there are many political schools, but the name is not true. Since ancient times, China has been in charge. The prime minister assisted the emperor and controlled all officials. If there is any mistake in the government, it is the prime minister's responsibility. Now it is not the case. The cabinet is famous but not true, so that no court officials are responsible for the collapse of the world."

"The second harm is that people are divided into four, six and nine levels. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang said, "Would there be a king, prince, general, and minister? Today, some people are born nobles, and some are born untouchables. People are not equal, and there will be a lot of disasters."

"The third harm is that the scholars only focus on eight essays, and eight essays only focus on Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism, so that the scholars in the world are rigid in their thoughts, and the scholars who have learned have no strength in governing the country."

"The fourth harm is that officials are corrupt and corruption has become a trend. Everyone calls for bribes and exploits the people as the most important thing in becoming an official, and there is no shame in scholars."

"The fifth harm lies in the theory of raising scholars. All filial and honest people have tax exemptions, and the people compete to compete for it, so that half of the land in the world is owned by officials and gentry, and the court has no grain of rice and grain to collect."

"If these five harms cannot be eliminated, the world will not be able to return to peace. What Liu Ge Lao wants to fight is the corruption of officials, especially clerks, who have many blackmails because they handle the money and food affairs of the people."

"In order to ensure the clean and upright atmosphere of the yamen, Master Liu wanted to recruit officials again. All the scholars read poetry and books and were young and passionate. Master Liu puts his hope on you, hoping that you can help the officialdom in Huguang to eliminate bad habits."

"As for the fame and fortune you are worried about, the Pavilion Master has long considered it. Anyone who has been registered as an official by the yamen at all levels of Huguang from today will only be left in the yamen of the Supervisor and will never report it to the Ministry of Rites."

"In addition, when a scholar serves as an official, he will enjoy all his salary, at least 2 taels a month. If he is diligent in his duties, the senior general will be willing to do so.

He would ask the court for his orders to directly give the Juren a fame. This order has been approved by His Majesty."

"Wow"

Shock! Shock from beginning to end!

Xiong Bolong and his group of friends all stood there.

This included shocking Liu Ximing's argument about the five evils, as well as Liu Ximing's measures to treat officials and directly promote them as juren.

Since the founding of this dynasty, no such thing has happened. You should know that there are very few scholars who can pass the imperial examination. How many people rely on the food and food, and teach people to live a life.

Now that I heard that I could be promoted to a juren in the future and receive a monthly salary of 2 taels per month, many scholars from poor families were moved on the spot.

The monthly income of 2 liang is also a rare high salary for scholars.

Things in the world cannot escape the 28th law. Among scholars, the one who can really make a fortune is the top scholar and Jinshi at the imperial examination. As for scholars, there are now chaos everywhere, and even fewer families who invite Western attendances. Many scholarly families are almost out of their way.

"Brother Han Hou", the scholar who came with Xiong Bolong pulled his sleeves excitedly, "This matter seems to be done. Mr. Liu has a good reputation in the Central Plains, so he should be a person who says something."

Xiong Bolong frowned and thought carefully. Instead of talking to his friend directly, he continued to walk out of the crowd of people talking to the drum tower.

"Brother, I think you are a scholar, right? Mr. Xiong asked, what is the recruitment method for Mr. Liu to recruit officials? But are there any specific requirements?"

Seeing this, the clerk on the stage bowed and replied with a smile: "In Luo Yongshou, Luo Ziqi, the positions recruited by the Supervisor's Office this time include clerks from various rooms such as soldiers, punishments, rituals and officials from prefectures and counties, as well as clerks from the three departments including the General Administration and Censorate Office."

"In addition, the cabinet also plans to promote universal education in all Huguang, and build villages, towns, counties, and prefectures to teach four subjects: Chinese, mathematics, nature and music theory, so there are still a large number of teacher positions to recruit."

"All recruitment will pass the examination. The Supervisor's Office will open examination rooms in each government, and the whole government can take the exam. Personnel who are not within the city will also be given a certain amount of car and horse fees. After the examination results are released, they will be announced throughout the province and will be recruited from the former."

"Wow"

The scholars were in an uproar again.

"There are also car and horse fees? Why don't you pay me and the food fee if you have this skill?"

"that is!"

Who knew that Luo Yongshou looked stern and said directly: "The cost of recruiting officials is all the money and food that the cabinet masters have dug out of military expenses. Do you have the ability to go to the government army to ask for it?"
