After the ceremony, Lao Tan took out a piece of black jade from his arms, handed it to Xue Poye, and said softly: "This is a meeting gift from my master. You should keep it well, it will be useful in the future."
Xue Poye stretched out his hand to take it, his hands were warm and smooth, and he knew it was an excellent treasure. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the black jade resembled a carp, just like a carp jumping over a dragon's gate. It was lifelike and extremely beautiful.
Xue Poye thanked him immediately. Seeing Lao Tan's pleasant face and kindness, he thought to himself: "Although I don't know how this old boy treats others, he still has nothing to say to himself."
After sitting down again, Lao Tan suddenly asked: "I heard that you have no fame?"
Xue Poye didn't know why he mentioned this, he nodded and said: "I have no fame, I'm just a man in white!"
Old Tan nodded and said: "You should know that if we want to be loyal to the court as an official in our country of Chu, we need to have a good reputation. Those who are not Jinshi will not enter the Imperial Academy, and those who are not Hanlin will not enter the cabinet. This is our rule in Chu.
There must be no violation.”
Xue Poye smiled and said, "Teacher won't let me go to school and take the top exam?"
Lao Tan immediately said seriously: "After the founding of our country, Da Chu, we established the "Da Chu Code", which divided the world into three categories: officials, good men and unworthy people. Do you know this?"
Xue Poye shook his head and said: "Students are ignorant and don't know."
Lao Tan had no choice but to tell the third class people in detail.
The so-called officials, in a narrow sense, refer to officials within the dynasty, that is, high-ranking officials who are under the archives management of the Ministry of Personnel, and in a broad sense, they refer to all personnel with official positions inside and outside the dynasty. A good person refers to a registered householder with an independent social status.
The people are mainly divided into landlords and peasants. As for the lowly people, they are divided into two categories: official lowly and private lowly. The official lowly refers to official servants, official households and working and music households. As for the private lowly, it mainly refers to the slaves and maidservants belonging to private individuals.
Parts and Parts Wife.
It can be seen from the "Laws of Dachu" that the hierarchical boundaries in Dachu are very strict. For example, when it comes to marriage, the "Laws of Dachu" clearly stipulates that "sexuality should be regarded as marriage" and cannot be exceeded. Among the three types of people,
, the most despised and least rights person is the bitch. Regardless of official status or private status, they are "equal to beasts". A bitch has no right to study and participate in the imperial examination, nor the right to marry the other two categories of people. Once
If you fall into this class, it is extremely difficult to get ahead.
The previous dynasty had great contempt for the industrial and commercial class. The industrial and commercial class did not even have the right to participate in the imperial examination. Fortunately, after the founding of Chu, this rule was changed. Children of the industrial and commercial class also had the right to participate in the imperial examination. The industrial and commercial class had a humble status and was at the lowest level of the good class.
, if you want to get rid of your lowly status, you can enter the official class by successfully passing the imperial examination and becoming an official.
Although a businessman has a lot of money and has no worries about food and clothing, no matter how big your business is or how much money you have, a single letter from the government can bankrupt you. Without an official backing, you will always be exploited and have no peace.
"Now you are still a good man with a low status. You can only become an official if you obtain a meritorious degree!" Lao Tan said solemnly: "You can't say that my Lao Tan's student is a cheap businessman?"
Xue Poye comes from the future and is a time traveler without class concepts. Hearing this, he was already very disgusted and sneered: "Everyone is raised by his parents. Who doesn't have two ears and one mouth? Why are there distinctions between high and low?"
?Aren’t the officials still collecting taxes and money from these low-level people to eat? If there are no merchants, how can goods circulate and how can the country prosper? Everyone is equal, regardless of high or low, which is the right way."
These remarks were so shocking that Lao Tan turned pale and opened his mouth. After half a day, he stood up and yelled: "What nonsense are you talking about? If this word spreads, do you still want to live? It's nonsense."
Xue Poye was startled and suddenly realized, ***, this was in ancient times. In his own era, these remarks were eloquent, but in this era, they are forbidden. If they are really heard by outsiders, I'm afraid it will be really serious.
To be punished, at least for treason, one cannot escape.
Lao Tan frowned and whispered: "You must not say these nonsense in the future. If it spreads, I'm afraid I won't be able to get away with it."
Xue Poye shook his head helplessly, with a sad look on his face.
Lao Tan pondered for a moment, and finally said: "The college examination will be held in more than a month. From tomorrow on, you will have to study poetry and books. I have already asked someone to find a teacher for you, and you will be a professor. You will pass it anyway."
Take the college examination and get the title of a student member!"
"You...you really want me to study and take the exam as a scholar?" Xue Poye said in shock.
Old Tan said solemnly: "You can only be an official if you have fame. If you don't have fame, how can I apply for an official position for you?" He sighed and said, "I will take care of the Admiral College during the college examination. You don't have to worry.
At least you need to learn something to take it into your stomach.”
Xue Poye sighed and said helplessly: "I said...teacher, if others study hard for ten years, they may not be able to pass the exam. You asked me to take the exam in more than a month, even if I have permission,
I’m afraid it will be difficult to pass the test?”
Lao Tan glanced at Xue Poye with a look that said, "You can't teach a kid." He was silent for a long time, and finally said: "There's no need to worry about the college exam. This time, I asked you to teach you essays to prepare for the provincial exam. You will be here this time next year."
It's a provincial examination, but you have one year to prepare."
Xue Poye immediately understood that this was a typical form of cheating in the examination room. He thought that after Lao Tan had arranged his college examination, he would be able to obtain the honorary title of student member in 10% chance. He felt very emotional in his heart. Students all over the world studied hard in a cold window.
He may not be able to have the status of a scholar. With just one sentence from Lao Tan, he might be able to achieve this status. Rights are really a good thing.
It's just that he really didn't expect that in this era, he would actually start his journey as a student. Thinking of those scholars who were shaking their heads, Xue Poye felt a little cold.
Regarding the books that the ancients read, Xue Poye also vaguely knew that after ten years of hard work and a bone-piercing head, they only read the Four Books and the Five Classics.
"Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes", "Spring and Autumn".
Seeing Xue Poye's silence, Lao Tan had an unhappy look on his face and said calmly: "Is it possible that you don't want to study and make progress?"
Xue Poye thought to himself: "What I studied is physics, chemistry and Chinese, which is much more useful than these Four Books and Five Classics." Of course he would not say it out loud, he rubbed his nose and smiled: "There is no problem in learning, but if you don't learn well,
, don’t blame me.”
"This is your own future, why can't you learn well?" Lao Tan rolled his eyes and shook his head and said: "Think about it, I once studied hard in a cold window to get where I am today. The journey was difficult and dangerous, and no one took care of me. Now I am supporting you.
You should work harder."
Xue Poye looked at Lao Tan anxiously, as if he was very dissatisfied with his carelessness, but there was a trace of gratitude in his heart. In any case, Lao Tan was really doing this for his own good.
However, I have some doubts in my heart. After just a few meetings, and I am not close to Lao Tan, why do you take such good care of yourself?
"Students just do their best!" In desperation, Xue Poye sighed.
Lao Tan rolled his eyes and said seriously: "There's nothing you don't do your best, you have to do your best." He smiled and suddenly said: "You kid, don't let me play tricks. If your husband tells me that you don't study seriously, I will give you an order."
Next time, your restaurant will be sealed."
Xue Poye Yihan, holy shit, the old guy is so vicious.
Xue Poye made a grimace: "Teacher, you are a high-ranking official in the imperial court, why do you always resort to such damaging tactics as closing down the shop?" Pointing to the chessboard over there, he said: "Teacher, why don't you play with me?
chess!"
Old Tan was startled, then smiled and said: "You brat can also play chess?"
"Look what you said!" Xue Poye was very dissatisfied. After all, he had been learning chess from his father since he was five years old. His father was familiar with the chess records and studied them. Under his influence, he was naturally not a mediocre player. He stood up and said:
"Teacher please!"
Lao Tan smiled and said: "The way of chess is also tricky. It is unexpected. How much chess ability can you have at such a young age?"
Xue Poye seemed to be a little contemptuous when he heard his words. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "During the Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties, scholars favored metaphysics for simple talks, but Go is mysterious and unpredictable, which is quite in line with the elegance of scholars, so it is called 'hand talk'.
', "Shishuo Xinyu"'s "Qiao Yi" chapter discusses the famous monk Zhidun of the Jin Dynasty, saying that he "used Go as a hand talk". This is the earliest source of "hand talk" seen by students."
Seeing Lao Tan's stunned look, Xue Poye touched his nose and continued: "Of course, because playing chess can make people feel otherworldly, it is also called 'sitting in seclusion', which means that no matter where you are,
, as long as he sits in front of the chessboard, he can get rid of worldly worries, and he is no different from a hermit. It is also recorded in the "Qiaoyi" chapter of "Shishuoxinyu" that "Wang Zhonglang (Tanzhi) regarded chess as sitting in seclusion"
, so Go is also called sitting in hiding. Generally speaking, in the eyes of scholars in the Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties, sitting in Go is a higher level of inner hiding than hiding from the world, and talking with hands is better than waving the tail of a whisk.
More elegant." He smiled slightly and said: "In fact, there are tricks and cunning inherent in Go, but as long as you stay calm and active, your students may not be your opponents."
What he said was also mentioned by his father in his spare time. When he said it now, Lao Tan was extremely surprised. He clapped his hands after half a day and said: "Well said, well said. It seems that I was right to accept you as my student. Okay.
Very good, you and I will play chess!"——
If it looks good, collect it, there will be more exciting things later!dd
