Ying Zheng was surprised, but he knew that unless he had something to do, generally speaking, Ying Gao would never set foot in Xianyang Palace easily, let alone this point.
Hearing this, Ying Gao couldn't help but straighten his body, and said to Ying Zheng: "Father, I went to the Education Department today and had a chat with Weiyang Junliang to learn about the affairs of the Academy and some issues in the Education Department.
."
"According to Mr. Weiyang's feedback, in the Academy, even though the imperial court has exempted tuition fees, the children and descendants of those fallen soldiers are still living in poverty."
"A strong man is the breadwinner of a family. They died on the battlefield for our great Qin. They died for my lineage named Ying. The descendants of these soldiers cannot be in such a miserable state."
"If this continues, who will dare to die for our Great Qin in the future? In order to be loyal to the Ying family, I have thought about it and planned to set up bursaries and scholarships in the academy."
"The bursary is mainly used to solve the problem of students from poor families, which is a kind of compensation for the descendants of fallen soldiers. As for the scholarship, it is for the best few students in a school, or for some special achievements.
Then scholarships will be awarded.”
"Of course, the amount of this bursary will not be too high. It can only guarantee their basic living, while the scholarship will be higher!"
Having said this, Ying Gao turned to Ying Zheng and said, "Father, it depends on your father's will whether or not this matter will be implemented!"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng took a deep look at Ying Gao and said, "I will naturally agree to this, but you need to write a report on this matter."
Ying Zheng naturally saw Ying Gao's purpose, which was not only to solve the problems of these students, but also to buy horse bones for a large sum of money. As a king, he was naturally the best at doing these things.
He was pleased that Ying Gao had such political foresight. As he got to know him better, and as Ying Gao continued to show his talent, he discovered that Ying Gao was extremely outstanding.
Basically meeting his requirements for the future prince of Great Qin, this made Ying Zheng feel completely relieved.
With Ying Gaozai, he can no longer worry about cultivating successors, but can focus on the war of Qin's annexation of the world.
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Ying Gao chuckled and said, "This is natural. I will write a perfect report and send it to my father."
"Besides, I have one more thing to trouble my father when I come here!"
Hearing what Ying Gao said, Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile: "After all, as long as it is a reasonable request, I will agree to it!"
"promise."
After taking a sip of tea, Ying Gao pondered for a moment, then turned to Ying Zheng and said, "What do you think of the royal family members?"
"In the clan, the younger generation has no talents to develop. Moreover, after the suppression by Marquis Wenxin and the Queen Mother, the clan's power is no longer what it used to be."
As the lord of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng was not the current Zongzheng of the clan, but he still knew the situation of the clan very well. When he heard Ying Gao's question, he told everything in detail.
Hearing Ying Zheng speak so calmly, Ying Gao said in a solemn tone: "Father, do you know the total number of people in the clan now?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately spoke: "Since the founding of the Qin State, there have been more than five thousand clans with the Ying surname. If it hadn't been for the chaos that year, some of the clans ran away, and some died in the chaos, I'm afraid...
There are 40,000 to 50,000 people.”
"Um!"
Ying Gao nodded: "Yes, otherwise, due to the chaos in these years, the current clan population would have only reached 50,000. This was still during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."
"The Great Qin in the future will inevitably sweep through the six Shandong kingdoms and create a unified Great Qin. In the future, the population of the clan will inevitably increase dramatically. Even if there is no military merit and ability, the clan cannot be granted the title of marquis."
"However, when salaries are to be paid out, these clans basically rely on the imperial court to support them. How much will the imperial court spend on clans with the Ying surname in the future? With the increase in the number of people in the future, will it occupy the imperial treasury even more?"
"Will it happen that most of the food in the world is used to feed the clan named Ying?"
Seeing Ying Zheng meditating, Ying Gao had a lot of thoughts in his mind. Although he was not optimistic about wild boar skin, the clan system of wild boar skin was the best in feudal society.
Historically, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, due to the excessive and excessive enfeoffment of clans in the Ming Dynasty, by the late Ming Dynasty, they were like pigs and dogs, becoming the country's biggest burden.
Therefore, great care was taken in dividing the clans, and the system was particularly strict. In the Ming Dynasty, the clans were located in the vassal area, while in the Qing Dynasty, the clans were not located in the vassals, but were all raised in the capital.
It must be admitted that in the entire feudal era, the Qing Dynasty was the best in terms of the system of vassalage, nobility, and inheritance. It can be said to be perfect.
The clan titles in the Qing Dynasty were actually divided into twelve levels: Prince Heshuo, Prince Duoluo, Duoluo Beile, Gushan Beizi, Duke Feng'en Zhenguo, and Duke Feng'en Fu Guoguo.
If you don’t enter the Eight Fens, you will be the Duke of Zhen, if you don’t enter the Eight Fens, you will be the Duke of Fu, the General of Zheng, the General of Assistance, the General of Fengguo, and the General of Fengen.
The emperor's son can be directly named a prince, or he can be named a beizi. From the prince to the beizi, the emperor's heirs basically belong to the close relatives clan, and below the beizi are the second-class and distant relative clans, and those who are less than eight points are even lower.
In the Qing Dynasty, inheritance by the eldest son decreased gradually from generation to generation.
Other princes inherited the title through examinations and titles, which is different from the Ming Dynasty where the clan was raised like pigs and ignored political affairs. In the Qing Dynasty, the clan was involved in national government affairs, especially the princes who directly handled national affairs, entered the military aircraft department, and led troops.
fight.
The inheritance of titles in the Qing Dynasty was based on hereditary descent, which meant that each generation was reduced by one level. For example, if you were a prince, you could only have one son to inherit the title.
Basically, the eldest son can only be the county king, the eldest grandson Beile, the next one is Beizi, and so on, and finally the Duke of Feng'en Town, until the Duke of Feng'en Town is guaranteed.
This is how the imperial court will give your lineage a share of money and food forever.
What really caught Ying Gao's fancy was that, except for the heirs who were to ascend the title, other heirs had to pass the royal title examination system before they could ascend the title.
The clan government conducts examinations for the princes of various clans, and only those who pass the examination can ascend to the title of nobility. The outstanding ones will also be ranked as Dukes of Fuguo. If they fail the examination, the title will be even lower.
If the descendants of the clan wanted to participate in the imperial examination, they had to be exonerated. The Qing Dynasty had strict restrictions on Manchus and clan members participating in the imperial examination.
The clan examinations of the Qing Dynasty were far more difficult than the imperial examination system. From this point of view, Ying Gao saw the hope of reforming the clan of Great Qin. He did not hope that the clan would disappear in the future of Great Qin.
As a family world, even if the clan is on the side of King Qin, even if one or two careerists seize power, then this world still belongs to the Ying surname.
