Chapter 2579 People's hearts are like scales
Deng Li was in the examination room.
The Deng family was originally a great surname in Nanyang, but not all great surnames can be stable for generations.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters caused Deng Li's family to decline. During the Battle of Jingzhou, Deng Li went to Chang'an with the refugees. Deng Li thought he would die of illness on the way, but what he didn't expect was that thanks to the doctor under the cavalry, a few appropriate medicines relieved his illness a lot. After recuperating for a while, he was considered to have survived.
But people live and money is gone.
I just recovered from my long illness and couldn't do any heavy work. I could only work hard in the exam room based on my early years of studying.
There are also many older candidates like him in the examination room.
Deng Li didn't think about coming for the exam before, but he couldn't find anyone if he wanted to recommend him. Even if he found someone, he would inevitably have to do some licking the back groove. Deng Li couldn't hold this face, and the money he carried was getting less and less day by day. He had a wife and son to raise at home. After thinking about it, he just came to take the exam.
If you can pass, it would be nice to have a pit first and squat.
Speaking of pits, the candidates in the test room are like they are located in pits one by one.
Although there are half-high wooden boards as the spacing, the cool north wind blows still makes people not only tremble with coldness, but also a little heart-shaking.
Answering the paper in this environment is a double test of the spirit and body.
Although there is a fire cage at some distance, with copper and iron cages on the outside and charcoal inside to keep warm, for the convenience of invigilating, there are only half a wall around it. Fortunately, the floor is covered with thicker mats. With the pure natural log floor, the chrysanthemums will not be frozen directly, and it is still acceptable.
Of course, the most important thing is the antifreeze of your hands.
Not everyone has this.
Poor people can only rely on themselves to get hot and rub it with their hands from time to time. Otherwise, when their fingers are frozen into carrots, they will really not be able to write anything.
For richer people, they basically use small smoked cages. Please add a piece of charcoal to the smoked cage to warm your hands.
In fact, there were many ways for ancient people to keep warm, just like Emperor Wu of Han’s golden house, which was the pepper room hall, which originally meant to warm it up. There was also a special fire wall with the “Central Hot Wind”, which was set up with the “Xi Fischer”, which was the earliest heating office. The structure of this fire wall had already appeared in the Qin Dynasty.
There are even more luxury. After all, in the ancient times when material was expensive, in the face of the long and cold winter, various heating tools and methods of boiling winter emerged one after another. One of them was the best match, which was difficult to surpass in later generations. Sun Qi recorded in "Yu Mo'an": "The story of Tianbao was bitter and cold in the winter, and the palace maids were secretly surrounded by prostitutes. In addition, King Qi of Tang warmed his hands in the arms of beautiful maids every winter, which was called a hand stove."
Of course, this so-called "meat hand stove" is also very likely to be a fabrication, after all, Yu Pozi is more troublesome.
Unlike most students who are in a state of unstable mood and in a trance due to the inspection and inspection, Deng Li is relatively stable in a relatively stable aura. After all, age is there, and some things are already viewed more openly.
For example, loose clothes and untied things...
So when we arrived at the examination room, Deng Li put his hands in his sleeves, held a small smoke cage and closed his eyes to keep warm, resting his mind while calming down. Even when the inspection was distributing the answer sheet, he just nodded slightly and then pressed the paperweight on it, and he didn't look at the exam questions as soon as possible.
As the answer sheet was released, there were many slight wailing sounds coming from the surrounding area.
Deng Li's eyebrows moved, but he still didn't open it to read the answer sheet. After his body and mind were adjusted to the best state, Deng Li opened his eyes, stretched out his hand, pushed the paperweight away, and then looked at the test questions.
This is a new model of test questions, and it is also printed directly on the answer sheet.
Candidates only need to write the answers on the answer sheet.
I saw that there were two words printed on the first paragraph of the answer sheet, and two words printed on the end were also printed on the "sufficient"...
What the hell?
No wonder.
Half of the wooden board was blocking it, and Deng Li couldn't see the other students, but there was a faint wailing sound around him, which attracted a lot of low-key scolding from the inspectors.
Deng Li couldn't help but shake his head. The cavalry is such a good method. If it weren't for the strict inspection before, it would be inevitable that someone would have started to make trouble now. As a result, after taking the initiative, even if he saw such an answer sheet, he would not dare to be arrogant.
But this topic...
If there were Du Niang or something in the Han Dynasty, I would basically find it after typing a few words. But the problem is that there is no such convenient search tool, so I can only search from my own mind.
Deng Li looked at the answer sheet and felt that the questions raised by the cavalry should not be too biased.
After all, everyone is just starting to come into contact with such new test questions. If a large number of people can't answer it, wouldn't it be that the cavalry slapped him in the face?
Deng Li vaguely had a feeling of this topic, and he thought he had read these words.
After closing his eyes and thinking for a long time, Deng Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his head. He remembered that during this period, he spent most of his time talking about the three rituals in Qinglong Temple, and then immediately thought that the four words with the beginning and the end were from the Book of Rites!
From "Forty-Two Chapters of the Book of Rites"!
The original sentence is "There is a great way to make money. There are many people who produce it, few people who eat it, and those who do it are sick, and those who use it are comfortable, and those who use it will be sufficient, and then the wealth will be enough."
this……
I believe many candidates have such experience. When reading and doing questions at home, they seem to be familiar with everything, understand everything, and have small problems. But once they enter the examination room and see the test papers being sent, they ask questions all over and over again, who am I? Where am I? What is the thing in front of them?
But the one in front of me is indeed taking basic skills.
This sentence in later generations was classified into the "Great Learning", but before the Song Dynasty, "Great Learning" was always subordinate to the "Book of Rites". Although the "Great Learning" in the Han Dynasty was not independent of the "Book of Rites", both Dong Zhongshu, Dai Sheng, and Zheng Xuan at the moment made considerable contributions and promotions to the "Book of Rites".
Especially the "Little Dai Li Ji" noted by Zheng Xuan was published and sold in major bookstores in Sanfu, Chang'an, and can be purchased in surrounding counties and even in Shandong. In addition, Zheng Xuan had just talked about the Three Lisbees in Qinglong Temple. If you really can't answer such a question, you can only lament that your book was not read solidly enough.
"The more people who have it are born" means that there are more people who create wealth; "The few who eat it" means that there are few people who consume wealth; "There are fast people who have it" means that the speed of creating wealth; "There are comfortable people who use it" means that the speed of consuming wealth is slow. So in fact, this sentence is a very simple concept of wealth, which briefly explains the truth of enriching the country and the people, increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, earning more and spending less, and is connected to the country and the country.
Li Deng fill in the first question, and then look at the next question...
After retrieving relevant information, it is not difficult to fill in the blanks. There is no need to expand it to discuss it. You just need to fill in the words.
Unlike the ample time to write a policy theory, the answer to fill in the blanks is only half an hour, and you are not allowed to leave the examination room after handing in the test paper, and you directly enter the policy theory for the next step.
With the sound of the cloud boards in the examination room, there were wailings in the examination room...
The collected test papers will be sealed by a special person, that is, the name, origin and other information will be covered, and then bound into a book and sent to the next step of correction...
In later imperial examinations, a copying work was added to the sealing and correction. The transcriptionist used a red pen to copy the red scroll, and then read it by a special person. After confirming that it was correct, the red scroll was sealed and then sent to the review office together with the original to confirm that the red and black scrolls were correct. Then the red scroll was sent in for correction, while the ink scroll was kept for file.
At present, the examiner and reviewer of the test paper were all temporarily assigned by Fei Qian, such as Sima Yi, Du Ji, Zong Li, etc., so it is naturally unlikely that there will be any secret codes in the test paper.
As for whether there will be more advanced cheating methods in the future...
Even if your mobile phone is blocked in the future, will there still be someone taking photos and posting test questions?
So it can only be continuous improvement. If the spear becomes more sharp, the shield will naturally need to be stronger!
The sun gradually sets.
Unlike the students' intense exams, ordinary people living in Chang'an City are soothing.
In the Taoist temples of the God-Cult in the five directions, the lingering smoke was mixed with the sound of Taoist priests' chanting. Believers either pray or worship, which was very lively.
Qiao Bing stood at the door of the Taoist temple and smiled and distributed the colorful grain cakes in his hands to the believers who came to worship. His smile was friendly and friendly. No matter whether the people who came to collect were men, women, young and old, they were treated equally and impartially.
There is no chemical dye at present, so this type of food is basically plant dyed, some similar to the five-color glutinous rice in later generations.
"Five Directions Heavenly Lord!"
"Five-way Heavenly Lord..."
The believers bowed and responded, and distributed a "good food".
This type of mixed grain cooked cake is generally divided into five colors, but only a certain color cooked cake will be distributed every day. On the one hand, it is to avoid causing some disputes about obsessive-compulsive disorder or choice, and on the other hand, it is also to be more convenient to make in large quantities.
Discounted every five months.
This kind of five-color mixed grain cooked cake is called "good food" or "de cake", which represents the good deeds and merits of the God religion in the five directions. It is not very big, but it is the size of three fingers. It is much smaller than the ordinary cooked cakes on the market. It is somewhat better to use as fullness, but its important religious significance...
And its attraction to ordinary people.
This is a fundamental change between the God religion in the five directions and the Taoism before.
It's also different from Buddhism.
The religious nature of Buddhism and Taoism in history was from top to bottom, that is, the rulers liked a certain religion and then promoted a certain religion, and a certain religion became popular.
Buddhism and Taoism all have precepts, but sometimes they themselves do not follow these precepts.
There are some qualities, but not all qualities, but not all qualities, the house is like a kind, the porridge outside is like a different way, compassion and kindness are like a kind, and lending and invading the land is like a different way. Just like the officials, there are those who shout on the surface that they should be honest and not be corrupt. Among monks and Taoists, some people eat vegetarian food on the surface, saying that they should do good deeds and accumulate virtues, but there are big fish and meat in the back, which harms the place.
Therefore, it is very contradictory.
The five-way God Church is not so complicated and there are no these contradictions. The main source of these contradictions is that the five-way God Church does not accept the worship of land and is not allowed to hold land.
Other supplies can be such as cloth, food, money, or other utensils.
This is also in line with the moral concept of the Han Dynasty. After all, the land belongs to the emperor in name. Does offering land to the gods of the five directions mean despising the emperor?
The knife that Fei Qian cut directly cut off the possibility that the God Church in the five directions would become a big landlord in another situation...
By kicking the five gods from the ruling level, it will naturally become closer to the people.
Just like this "good food", it is a very ordinary five-color cooked cake. There are not so many fancy things, nor are there any rules similar to the diet of the gentry. If you want, you can queue up and take it directly. You don’t have to hold a dragon or a phoenix nod. You can eat it on site, and take it home.
Fei Qian felt that religion should be a spiritual sustenance and a promotion of good behavior, rather than rectifying various norms imposed on the people, requiring the people to become the lamb of sin that cannot be thought of, and everything they do is to do.
In other words, at present, there is no need for religion to provide ruling assistance, but it requires further strengthening of religion in its dissemination.
History has proved that gods and Buddhas cannot save China, but only the Chinese people can save themselves.
However, Fei Qian's attitude towards the religious system made Qiao Bing feel quite embarrassed at the moment, and he felt that he was "a place where heroes are useless."
Qiao did not take the exam, nor did he even take the route of ordinary officials. He took the religious route. He originally thought it was a shortcut, but now he found that the route seemed to be almost over.
Even though Qiao Bing repeatedly advocated that Fei Qian was a living person from the Five God Cult, he was still recognized among the middle and lower classes of people. Once he went up the upper class, the influence of the Five God Cult quickly became weak.
There is a gap between classes.
If the God Church in the Five Directions cannot own land, how can you get involved in the landlord class?
In addition, there is no system similar to that of Wudoumi, so the five-way God Church quickly became popular.
This is also Fei Qian's original intention.
Originally, the imperial power and prime minister power had already beaten to the death. In addition, a third-party religion would be like the pure stream, foreign relatives, and eunuchs in the political arena of the Han Dynasty, and the human heads turned into dog heads?
Religion itself is the mystery that humans cannot explain to some natural phenomena. Like law, morality, habits, etc., religion is just a social phenomenon and is not a omnipotent plaster.
In ancient society, due to low productivity, people's production and life were largely dominated by nature. People believed that the good or bad harvest and the prosperity of the population were determined by some supernatural existence. Primitive people personified the things in nature and gave them the power of "God".
Then, for a long time, in the feudal society, ordinary people were incomprehensible about how slaves and slave owners, peasants and landlords, rich and poor people would emerge because of the lack of knowledge. They would think that the class gap was completely alien, mysterious, and dominated by natural necessity, so they had religious worship and belief in mystery.
For most children of the gentry, especially those who are smarter, they know how the emperor came about, what Dong Zhongshu did at the beginning, and how to suppress the people, fool the people, solidify their own classes, and achieve the goal of passing on from generation to generation. Therefore, most children of the gentry do not believe in religion.
And Qiao did not fully understand these things...
Previously, in the early days of the establishment of the Five God Cult, Qiao Bing, Wei Duan and Zhong Jie discussed and discussed the doctrines, rules, and corresponding structures of the Five God Cult. However, now, Wei Duan has become the chief of the Senate and Law Academy. It is said that Zhong Jie is about to be promoted to the position of the high priest of the Academy who succeeded Linghu Shao in 2018, and Qiao Bing himself is still the high priest of the five God Cult.
As for what Fei Qian is? Fei Qian is a real person of the five gods...
After I finished giving away the food, I didn’t receive it, and I didn’t make a fuss and dispersed on my own.
There are many pedestrians around the God's Taoist Temple in the five directions.
There are two or three lifangs around the surrounding area, so many believers like to bring their children to the Taoist temple, either to worship the gods of the five directions, or to have fun. After all, there are many vendors around the Taoist temple, and buying some daily necessities or snacks for food is a kind of joy in the family in winter.
Chang'an is now prosperous and prosperous, and this prosperity and prosperity are even more precious compared to a few years ago, especially with other counties that are still in war.
Qiao Bing looked up and looked around.
After nightfall, the lights of thousands of families reflect the lively atmosphere in the city's night sky. With Chang'an as the center, it spreads spots, the surrounding military camps, stations outside the city, villages of all sizes, and Qinglong Temple, which must be bright day and night in the distance, seemed to have become a sharp blade that pierced the darkness, and it also looked like the light of Chinese civilization.
Qiao Bing looked at it, thought, and then sighed slightly in his heart.
Sometimes, this is the opportunity. Once you miss it, it is like golden sand leaking from the gaps in your fingers, mixing into the gravel. If you want to find it again, it is difficult to reach the sky.
Qiao is not unthinking of changing.
But he lacks foundation.
Wei Duan and Zhong Ji are both good at scriptures and have certain ruling ability in people's livelihood. However, Qiao is good at "prophecies and divination" and carefully studied "small words and great meanings". When I was in Sichuan and Shu, my favorite was to draw a talisman...
After all, Zhang Lu's Five Dou Sect was still very popular at that time. Liu Yan in Sichuan and Sichuan were all believers of the Five Dou Sect. Well, maybe it should be said that Liu Yan was just a saint who was obsessed with the Five Dou Sect?
As for whether the symbols drawn are effective, it is like a later generation of Yin who said that he was an economic bricklayer, a stock player, and drawing a picture according to the trend, and making a model can make a lot of money...
If the drawing of talismans can have a little effect, will Qiao Bing still show up and attract fans now and worry about his future?
Seeing others rising step by step, I kept standing still.
The children in my family are getting older day by day, so I can’t let my children draw a talisman along with me?
what to do?
He couldn't bear to give up the authority in his hand now, and he did not have enough ability to go to the level...
