Tongtong continued: "In the Qin Dynasty, counties were divided into townships, and there were pavilions under the villages. Each pavilion could be divided into ten miles. The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and there were almost no major changes. By the Tang Dynasty, the difference between urban and rural areas became increasingly prominent.
The city is divided into mills, and the outside of the city is divided into villages. Villages can be large or small, but the Tang Dynasty has regulations that 100 households constitute one li, and five li constitute one township..."
Liu Siniang nodded and understood! There was no such thing in the leisure books she read.
In fact, the concubine is telling her to herself! Maybe those of you sitting here don’t know.
She secretly looked at Zheng Yuanniang.
Zheng Yuanniang winked at her: I know a little bit, but not in detail. It can be seen that the education of these royal children is still different. If children from ordinary families marry in, it will be really difficult for them to adapt.
Just make it clear! Most people may not think too much about it, but in fact, when talking in daily life, they often say, who is a fellow countryman with whom, and who is a country party with whom.
The word Xiangdang can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Going back to that time, people from the same hometown, or from the same township, or from the same party, had a very close relationship. This shows that everyone has been here for generations and knows everything.
In other words, from that time on, the basic structure has been formed.
The awkward thing now is that Taizu has not finished the work. He recognizes the structure of grassroots management, but does not recognize some parts of township management.
For example, each township has a township covenant, and the township covenant is something that everyone must abide by. For example, the township covenant has regulations that say that people in our township must respect etiquette, be kind, and must watch and help each other.
Taizu particularly agreed with this point! According to him, he felt that even in later generations, Chinese people have a strong sense of humanity, especially in rural areas, where local neighbors are particularly close. When a family has something to do, everyone helps. This is inheritance.
A civilization that has not been lost for thousands of years.
However, he did not agree with other things stipulated in the township agreement. For example, if anyone made a mistake, the village elder could punish him on his behalf.
He believed that this thing was above the law. Therefore, since Dachen, the role of the grassroots has not been fully exerted.
The grassroots level must not be lost, so how can it be allowed to play its role and at the same time avoid some things in the township covenant that are above the law?
Tongtong gave the answer: "Ask a woman to do it! Not only can she control what's going on below, but she won't be able to interfere with government governance."
Zhao Defeng said: "But women are the ones who have the least freedom of movement, and they all follow their husbands. There is a county magistrate in the county, and in all the alleys of the county, officials' wives are selected to do this. But in each village,
How can we arrange this in each village? Women who are not from this village cannot be responsible for this."
Lin Yutong nodded and Zhao Defeng said: "That's the point. After all, official family members are only a minority. Therefore, I think we should set up a department, called the Kun Department, to be in charge of women's affairs in the world. From the court to the provinces, and then from the provinces to the states
Prefectures, counties, villages and towns, lay out everything to the end!"
Zhao Defeng asked, "How about the concubine? After the Kun tribe has added so many people, what will happen to their salary?"
Yes! I can’t get my salary.
Today, Mrs. Gaoming is actually just an honorary title and does not come with a salary from the court. Only after her husband or son passes away, the court will give her father or son one-third of the salary to support her in her old age. These people do this
Errands, if you do this errands, it can be said that you are doing it for your husband. But what about the women in the villages? What can you give them?
"Children's admission qualifications." What?
"Entrance qualifications." Tongtong said, "Royal Academy! Each province has a branch and takes exams every year! There are twenty places in each province, and you can go directly to the inner hall of the Royal Academy to study. The academy is under the personal control of the Holy Master.
, he will be a disciple of the Emperor when he comes out. As long as he is a student who has graduated from the Royal Academy, he will be eligible to participate in the assessment of entering the inner hall in his life, and he will have an opportunity every year..."
Zhao Defeng looked at Tongtong in astonishment: "Do you want the academy to run in parallel with the imperial examination?"
Tongtong smiled, "Can't you?"
Zhao Defeng looked at her: Is this okay? This is already related to the political affairs of the previous dynasty! And it is not an ordinary political matter!
Tongtong rolled his eyes at her: It's just like your family taught you embroidery in the back house.
Zhao Defeng reasoned with her: "If you read the history of the Tang Dynasty, do you know how long it took for the recommendation system to be replaced by the imperial examination? Why don't you try another method?"
There is no change! It’s just parallel. “This is the royal education of the people, so why not?”
"You have to know that the purpose of the imperial examination is to promote poor families, Emperor Wu..."
I know better than you, Emperor Wu, "The imperial court has official schools and private schools. No matter what kind it is, you can learn it. The door to the Royal Academy is open, and you can apply for it every year, and those with the best scores will be given priority. Every year in each province
Only one hundred are admitted. As for the female officials in the village of Kunbu, one of their children can choose to enter the branch directly. As long as they read it, they will be qualified to take the inner hall in this life. The opportunity is given, whether you can seize it depends on
personal."
Zhao Defeng said, "Then you know, if you have this qualification, the following will definitely fight to the death."
"So, female officials are not tenured for life. They are replaced every five years, even if they are re-elected. They are not qualified to recommend a second child. During the term of office, if no mistakes are made, the child's qualifications will always be retained. If it is illegal, their qualifications will be revoked.
That’s it. And we reserve the right to hold you accountable for life. We are tied to our children’s future!”
It means, it’s best to do things well! If you do well, your family may become so successful because your children will soar.
Even if you work hard for these five years, what if you leave quickly and let someone else take the job? What's wrong with that? There are a few more people from the Royal Academy in the village. After a few rounds, a generation of people will come out.
!It’s time for the next generation. One generation after another.
In fact, this is using the Royal Academy to connect people from such a large territory.
Tongtong said, "Twenty years later, every village will have at least four students with royal discharge background. They have a sense of identity..."
Zhao Defeng took a deep breath: If so, who will follow in the rebellion? Who will follow in the rebellion?
It turns out that this ring follows one after another, and the condom goes so deep!
You think she wants to make trouble with the female official, but who knows that her final goal is here!
Zhao Defeng's eyes were extremely complicated. Who came up with this idea? Is there any difference between Lin Chuheng and the prince? With such a deep scheming, after this move is made, you have no idea what she is connected with after this move.
Liu Siniang suddenly moved uneasily. She seemed to be involved in something extraordinary. In fact, there were many things she didn't quite understand, but looking at the expression of the princess, and then looking at the thoughtful expressions on the faces of the queen and her aunt,
She knew that this matter was very serious. She didn't know if it was too late to regret the marriage now.
If you don't have any brains in the royal family, you will look like an alien sitting here.
I heard that the second prince fell in love with a girl from a peasant family.
Alas! Why bother? I have received a good education after all. Especially in the past two years, I have followed my aunt and studied behind closed doors in the mountains. But even so, I feel that I can’t keep up. It’s not about competing with myself.
Others are stupid, but what they think is totally different from theirs.
Seeing Xiaosi looking so carefree, he seems to be doing nothing serious every day! But he is sitting here with his brows furrowed, and it seems like he is thinking about something.
Let’s look at Princess Shengrong. She usually doesn’t leave the house. I heard she plays the piano and paints, but she doesn’t do worldly things. But look at her sitting there holding a cup and turning it around. She hesitates several times, and it’s obvious that she understands.
All the implicit meanings contained therein.
Comparing this, I and Sister Zheng's sister are actually a bit behind. You said, if you bring a peasant girl here, I feel that something has happened after this happened three times.
It feels like a crow has flown into a group of cranes. It’s so uncomfortable!
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the fifth princess say, "This matter... I'm afraid the backlash from the courtiers will be huge. But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the backlash among the people will be huge. This is something that women in the world don't dare to think about.
A woman has always regarded her husband as her first priority. Even if you give her a chance, she won’t dare to take it. How many husbands are willing for their women to seek work outside the home? Those with wealth at home can’t afford it. Those with poor families are always inferior to others, and their lives are ruined.
I don’t understand, and no one looks down on me, so who can I care about? What’s more, there are landlords everywhere... many people are tenants. Although Tai|zu has farmed once every year, but this... the year is not good, if you encounter
Something happened to the family, and the land was sold off. The whole family was tenant farmers! In some places, a whole village was tenant farmers... In this way, if the landlord's family is lifted up, there will still be many disadvantages."
Tongtong praised in his heart. After Xiao Wu came out to take care of things, he thought about the problem from a different perspective.
Xiaosi asked: "Is it possible to have another chance to fight?"
Tongtong said: "What if the imperial court sets up public fields?"
Public land?
Zhao Defeng raised his head again for a moment. Lin San remained silent because of his feelings, just waiting for someone to say something. There was also a matter of the field involved.
What kind of public land is this?
"Public land is land that can be planted all the time, but is not allowed to be bought or sold. Under normal circumstances, it will never be exchanged. If you are registered to plant it, then you can plant it, and your children and grandchildren can plant it. After planting, you can pay 30% of the tax to the court.
." Fourth Master said this.
This means that the land rent is not high. But the problem is that the wasteland is not good enough, and the harvest in the first ten years was not good.
"No need for wasteland!" Fourth Master said, "From now on, the landlord will not have direct relations with the tenants, and the law prohibits it. The landlord has idle land, and the court will rent it out, and the land will be used by the court. The court will then take the land as a
Public land was given to people in each village who had no land or little land to farm. The court came to collect the rent. After collecting the rent, the court returned the rent to the landlord. The court paid 30% of the landowner's tax and took another 20% as tax.
Court taxes."
It is equivalent to the imperial court passing through the middle and tearing apart the direct interest relationship between landlords and tenants.
Tenants were subjects of the imperial court. It was natural and natural to cultivate the imperial court's public land and pay taxes to the imperial court. There was no need to feel inferior.
This is a favor to the world! If so, if a capable daughter-in-law from a peasant family comes out to do something for the court, whoever is not happy will be scolded.
Han Zongjing asked: "What if the landlords don't agree?"
The fourth master looked at him and asked: "The landlord has not lost anything, and the court has not invaded his interests. If you don't agree... then, may I ask, how much percent does the tenant occupy and how much percent does the landlord occupy?"
Cold sweat broke out on Han Zongjing's head, and he understood the meaning: If you obey, then you will continue to be pampered; if you don't obey, the court will watch these people being torn apart.
So, is the prince looking forward to these people making trouble? Or is he not looking forward to making trouble?
Facing the prince's bottomless eyes, he couldn't help but tremble!
