Osmanthus brown sugar, coconut sugar, durian sugar, mung bean cake, horn comb, wood carving, shopping for a long time, when they came back, the entourage was full of all kinds of Jiaozhou native products.
Although the feet were a little sore, the two of them were still very excited, and when they got home, they were busy discussing how to distribute these gifts after they were brought back.
Li Chao has been thinking about the old beggar.
Yang Shidao came to the palace to discuss the matter of returning to Beijing to gather in the court, as a local feudal official, he should have entered Beijing in October.
However, there are many affairs here, and he has to wait to return to Beijing with Li Chao and the prince, so he has not left.
"We have sent people to Funan and Zhenla to pass the word, and the envoys from both sides have also come to see me, and I conveyed the meaning of King Zhao, and they said that they would immediately send someone back to report and give us a reply later."
"Hmm."
Li Chao nodded, he had already set the tone for the attitude of Funan, Zhenla, and Linyi.
Datang wants to take the opportunity to intervene and destroy Lin Yi first.
"By the way, how does Jiaozhou arrange the show talent for this year's new examination," Li Chao asked.
Yang Shidao heard Li Chao talk about this, and he was a little embarrassed.
Guangnan Province is also one of the more than 20 provinces in Datang, but Datang opened a new imperial examination this year, and the world admitted 50,000 talents, but Guangnan Province only admitted 100 talents. is this hundred showmen, which can be regarded as taking care of Guangnan, otherwise, if they are really recorded according to their results, it is estimated that they will not be recorded in a hundred shows.
Only 100 Xiucai were recorded, which shows that their culture and education in Guangnan are not prosperous, and this can be regarded as a dereliction of duty in his political place.
Speaking of which, Yang Shidao was also a little helpless.
The Tang imperial examination system is a student status.
That is, only scholars from Quang Nam can participate in the imperial examination in Quang Nam Province.
The student registration is determined according to the household registration, and those in Guangnan can only take the test in Guangnan, while those in Jiaozhou can only take the test in Jiaozhou, and those in Songping County can only take the test in Songping County.
This system made many students in Quang Nam go back to their hometowns to take the imperial examination.
And these people occupy the majority of the Han people in Guangnan.
Many landlords and businessmen who do business and run estates in Quang Nam are still in their hometowns.
Although when it comes to paying taxes, the court still levies taxes according to their property here.
But the imperial examination is not good, they have to go back to their hometown to take the exam.
"How did the government arrange those talents in this year's examination?"
asked Li Chao.
Yang Shidao stroked his beard, I don't know why Li Chao asked like this.
"According to the regulations of the imperial court, the admitted talents must study in the county school, and only those who have obtained enough credits can be eligible to participate in the state examination, and after winning the examination, they can participate in the official examination of the state examination."
Li Chao nodded, he knew this, and even these were the new imperial examination reform system he designed for the imperial court.
The so-called further study refers to a necessary condition after passing the examination.
After all, the purpose of the imperial examination is to select officials, and the reference conditions for the county examination are still relatively relaxed, and good citizens who have reached the age of fourteen and have a clean net worth can participate in the county examination.
The requirement for innocence is much lower than in the past, and the innocence of the past is about three generations with no criminal record, and in the past, the children of workers and businessmen were not qualified for the exam, let alone those who were untouchable.
Now that the conditions have been relaxed, as long as the father and brother have no criminal record and are good citizens, even the sons of industry and commerce can participate in the imperial examination.
It's just that an age limit of fourteen years old has been added.
At the beginning, this age limit was added because it was also considered that although there would be geniuses, they would definitely not be able to be officials and officials if they were too young, and their life experience was also insufficient.
Therefore, fourteen years old is the minimum age to participate in the imperial examination, so if you really have to be a genius, then the county test will try all the way to pass high school, every three years, and you will be sixteen years old.
At the age of sixteen, if you study in the national prison for another year, you can barely become an official at the age of seventeen.
How many people can't pass at one time, and how many times they take the normal test, then it is normal for a middle jinshi in their twenties and thirties to be successful.
After Zhong Xiucai, he entered the county to study, which is also a hard and fast rule.
In this county school, they read not ordinary Confucian classics, but after Xiucai, they entered the county school, and they read to deal with official documents and learn the knowledge and skills of administration.
There are even special credits for several subjects, and only after completing the credits can they be eligible to take the state examination qualification examination for the imperial examination and take the exam.
Xiucai entered the county school for further study, and the requirements were not high, and he did not require him to learn too much at once.
You can even sign up for a textbook and study at home.
At the beginning, Li Chao came up with these things in order to avoid the imperial examination from selecting a group of nerds who only know how to read dead books, so there will be both exams and schools.
"Is there a fee for this prefecture school training?"
Yang Shidao nodded, "There is a fee, but the fee is not high, the county Xuexiucai class has a special course, so it is necessary to issue textbooks, and there are regular exams, and there are all fees." ” Well, there are no preferential treatments.
Li Chao was a little surprised, whether this was his own negligence or the court's negligence Li Chao was in favor of preferential treatment of scholars, and of course, he was also opposed to excessive preferential treatment of scholars as in the Ming Dynasty.

It is impossible for a scholar to be exempt from military service, free of money and food, or even accept service, to protect the pro-party without paying taxes for service, and not even to pay taxes for business.
After the Ming Dynasty, the treasury was empty, a big reason was that the privileges of the gentry class were harmed, and a large number of people did not pay taxes and did not serve.
However, this kind of sending land or even selling oneself into slavery is not real, it is just a kind of privilege to evade labor and tax evasion by virtue of the talent of the scholars, and they no longer pay taxes and serve in the imperial court, but only pay some rent to the gentry who take refuge, and the burden becomes much lighter.
The gentry sheltered them and got a rent for nothing, while the people who served were relieved of their burdens, but the court lost a lot of taxes.
Of course, Li Chao can't condone this kind of practice of destroying the country.
But now the imperial court does not give any preferential treatment to scholars, which is also unexpected by him.
The old beggar's family conditions were poor, he was old and in poor health, and he was almost a cripple.
The son unexpectedly became a talent in his studies, and he was admitted to Xiucai.
But now his son wants to go to the county to study and study, but he can't pay the money, so the old man has to beg for money to support Xiucai's son, and he doesn't even dare to tell his son about begging, for fear that his son will lose face after he finds out.
This kind of great fatherly love is indeed admirable and moving.
Li Chao told the matter.
Yang Shidao was also surprised, "I can't imagine that a fisherman's son can actually be admitted to Xiucai, it's not easy." ” Only a hundred talents have been tested in the entire Quang Nam Province and several states, and this poor boy can actually win, of course, it is very remarkable.
Yang Shidao was born in the Hongnong Yang family, a top famous family in Kansai, and even a former royal family, of course, his reading is much simpler, and what he has at home is resources.
"I'll ask someone to send him a sum of money when I turn around."
Li Chao shook his head, sending money is not the solution.
After the reform of the imperial imperial examination system, more and more children of the poor will be able to get ahead through the imperial examination in the future.
However, the burden of reading is indeed not light, and now the imperial court can only popularize compulsory education in junior and primary schools for free, and it is impossible to fully undertake free teaching for high schools or even higher secondary schools.
"What I mean is that in the running of high schools and middle schools, we still resolutely charge for education, and while running government schools, we also encourage private schools to run private schools.
As for the government, it should also allocate some special funds as scholarships for outstanding students, and give grants to those whose grades are not particularly good, but they are not bad but their family conditions are very difficult. ” It's definitely not affordable to be completely free, but it's still okay to award financial aid to some students.
Yang Shidao thought about it, this doesn't require too much money, "I'll draw up a charter when I go back." ” "Yang Gong, I think we should pay more attention to the talents.
It's not easy to take a show, these people are the elite of scholars.
I have a plan, that is, in the future, those who are admitted to the Xiucai examination can enter the county school Xiucai class for free to study, and the local government will also give some paper and pencil subsidies.
In addition, the county school talents were given six buckets of rice rations per month. ” Privileges such as tax exemption cannot be opened, but if you give a paper and pen subsidy and give six buckets of rice rations a month, Li Chao thinks that the local government can still afford it and should bear it.
Scholars should always be treated preferentially.
With the ration of six buckets of rice a month, even a poor talent can study with peace of mind.
"King Zhao really thinks long-term, but Yang is negligent."
Yang Shidao also agreed with Li Chao's plan to give preferential treatment to scholars.
There are only 100 talents in Guangnan, one person is six buckets of rice a month, one person is only seven stone two a year, one hundred people is only 700 stone rice, Jiaozhou bucket rice is five dollars, 700 stone rice, and the money is only 30 yuan, which is not worth mentioning.
But the name of a scholar who gives preferential treatment to scholars is still very loud, especially when the results of the Guangnan Imperial Examination County Examination are so dismal this year.
"No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, opening up the wisdom of the people and cultivating talents for the country is also the unshirkable responsibility of officials."
Li Chao said.
"King Zhao is right, but six buckets of rice in January are not too little?"
Li Chao shook his head.
"We have to treat scholars preferentially, but not too much.
It's too much, six buckets of rice a month is almost enough for a family of three or four people, which is already a great guarantee.
Xiucai can also do something while studying, such as helping out in the yamen, or going to the school as a substitute teacher or something.
Li Chao rejected the proposal to give Xiucai too much preferential treatment in one go.
Subsidies and food rations are only a basic guarantee, but they are not meant to be provided.
"By the way, this talent ration should not be available to everyone, we should set a standard.
For example, every year, the talents are given an annual examination, and several grades of A, B, C, and D are evaluated, and those with the worst grades are rated as D, and the D-level is stopped from receiving monthly rations. ” With this article, Li Chao is to prevent more and more people from getting Xiucai in the future, so won't the burden on the imperial court become bigger and bigger, just like when there were five or six hundred thousand Xiucai in the country at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they all sent rice, and they couldn't bear it.
Even in the Ming Dynasty, there were only twenty people in each county who were qualified to take this rice.
Li Chao set this assessment, once a year, pass the assessment, and you can get rice next year, but the assessment results are too poor, so you will not be eligible to take rice next year.
This can be regarded as putting some pressure on the Xiucai, not that they will be able to mix six buckets of rice after passing the Xiucai test.
"Then what if it's those Xiucai whose family conditions are particularly poor, but whose grades are the last," Yang Shidao asked.
"Then he can apply for a bursary, or he can work while studying, such as going to the yamen to help, such as teaching at a school, and he can't hang himself from a tree."
