Water Margin: I, Wang Lun, will have many children and many blessings in Liangshan.

Although the number of more than a hundred riders is small, they are all elite.

The Xiang army who surrendered quickly at the city gate saved their lives.

Fall a little slower to avoid being stabbed by lances or chopped with swords.

Finally, amidst the howls of ghosts and wolves, hundreds of officers and soldiers guarding the four gates all surrendered, including several military attachés such as Dutou and Tijuan.

The next step was to raid the military camp in the city.

Caught off guard, a group of dozens of military attachés in the camp were either killed or captured.

Even the soldiers and horses in the city who were in charge of supervising, controlling, and administering the city, including the first-class military attachés, were all disarmed.

"Gao Lian has been executed, and three hundred elites were attacked and killed by our Liangshan Army. Now the Liangshan Army has taken over Gaotang Prefecture, killing, looting, and killing thieves!"

More than a dozen Qingqi Pegasus galloped, shouting loudly in the empty streets.

They heard that the bandit army had entered the city.

The people of Gaotang Prefecture were still a little panicked. After all, Liangshan was a bandit army.

After entering the city, even though the military discipline was slightly worse than the legend Some, if you encounter them, it will be miserable.

On the streets, the shops are closed, and the small traders and hawkers just run away.

Fish, live chickens, and ducks are all over the street. The vegetable baskets are thrown on the ground, and the shoes are gone. The ground is full of them.

In addition to the commercial streets, there are also residential buildings where people live. At this time, the doors are also locked, and no one dares to go out at will.

The entire 520 state cities with tens of thousands of people are silent, like a dead city.

There are only Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, nunneries, etc. were still open, but no pilgrims dared to enter at this time.

There were also some scholars and students gathered in the palace in the city. The city was suddenly lost, and they did not dare to go home at will. The same was true for the state government. In this way, many officials and staff gathered together, and they were too scared to have the slightest idea of ​​resistance.

The only thing that made everyone feel relieved was that Liangshan's army had never massacred the city.

"Hey, just don’t massacre the city……"

"When Tian Hu, Wang Qing and others started their business, there were a lot of massacres in the city, and Fang La killed many people in Jiangnan... This Wang Lun, no, the head of the Wang family has a reputation for benevolence after all."

"I'm afraid you can create a reputation, but at least Mr. Wang knows how to create a reputation for upholding justice for heaven and caring for the people. That's good, that's good."

"There are those who oppress the people and take advantage of them by clever means, and they may not be able to survive. There are also those who loot and kill the people in the army, and they will not escape death either.……"

The eyes of the sentient beings could not help but flicker.

These days, except for a few people, the students are generally relatively wealthy.

For example, Fan Zhongyan lost his father when he was young, and his mother remarried with him to a family surnamed Zhu. Fan Zhongyan was named Zhu Shuo until he became a Jinshi.

Fan Zhongyan was also very poor when he was admitted to the Jinshi examination. He stayed in a Buddhist temple and could barely survive starving to death with one meal a day. Later, the monk saw that he was pitiful and gave him the job of copying Buddhist scriptures, which allowed him to survive until the day he passed the Jinshi examination.

When a Jinshi becomes an official, his or her original surname will naturally be restored, and wealth and honor will be easily obtained.

But such examples are few after all.

Most of them are at least middle-class families and have land.

Without dozens or hundreds of acres of land, and without the cost of more than ten or twenty dollars a year, including pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and school expenses, how can one study?

It would take at least a few hundred pounds of property to support a scholar.

It would be tragic if you achieve nothing until you reach decades. Everything becomes a sunk cost.

The Song Dynasty was not like the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a saying that Jin promoted people and Yin promoted scholars.

If a person who passes the Jinshi examination is not at the forefront, he may be assigned to serve as an official in a remote area. He has to travel hard and may lose his life. For example, if he becomes a county magistrate in Guizhou in the southwest, if a child fails to cause trouble, it is a trivial matter to lose his official position. , it is common for life to be in danger.

There are also those who are unlucky enough to become a royal official. In the early Ming Dynasty, the royal official still had a very promising future. The palace could be entered and exited, and transfers were normal.

After the mid-Ming Dynasty, this was no longer possible. Once you entered the palace, you were imprisoned to death. Your salary was low, you could not be promoted, and you had no gray income.

It can be said to be extremely miserable.

It would be worse to fail the Jinshi exam.

You can choose an official position just like you can do it. Even if you don't hold an official position, you can still have quite a lot of privileges and be rich enough.

Being a country squire at home, controlling local government affairs, you can make a lot of money with your influence. While you have privileges, you don't have to take on responsibilities, and you don't have to travel thousands of miles to be an official in a different place, and you don't have to work hard.

Therefore, they are called Jin Juren and Yinshi.

Of course, if (baaj) is the first name of the department, and there is a hope that in this life he will be promoted to governor, minister, or at the worst, he can be promoted to the fourth rank, then he still has to be an official.

The magistrate, governor, governor, minister, and minister returned to their hometowns after serving as official officials. The whole family has been upgraded, which is not comparable to that of ordinary squire families.

There are some big families in the south of the Yangtze River. From the Tang Dynasty, some members of the family were Jinshi and became officials. In the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination system continued until the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the five or six hundred years, they were just like the chieftain family, but they were not hereditary. Instead, generations have passed the exams, and generations of family members have passed the exams and become officials. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

This kind of family's local power and influence even in the imperial court are frighteningly high.

There are many such aristocratic families in Jiangnan, the most famous of which is the Qian family. Even in modern times, the Qian family has quite strong connections and influence.

The same was true for the Weng family in the Qing Dynasty. The ancestor of the Weng family, Weng Gongchen, was a Jinshi official during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. After that, the family continued to have Jinshi candidates. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, it had become an imperial examination family that had lasted for nearly four hundred years.

The Song Dynasty was different. After passing the examination as a scholar, the title of scholar was always retained.

However, the examination will only be held every imperial examination year.

After passing the interpretation test, you can be called an examiner, and then take the certificate of passing the interpretation test to the capital to report and participate in the general examination.

If you win, you will be a Jinshi, and you will have the status of a Jinshi for the rest of your life.

Unless the prisoner is deprived of his writing since his birth, that means the prisoner is also deprived of his status as a Jinshi.

But if he fails, he will still be a scholar after returning home, and no one will be mentioned.

Therefore, there were only two classes of scholars in the Song Dynasty, the scholar and the Jinshi.

Most of those who are able to read and pass the scholar examination are from families above the middle class.

Even some gentry families.

For example, the Han family, the first aristocratic family in the Song Dynasty.

Not much worse than the fourth and third Duke of the Yuan family in the late Han Dynasty.

Since Han Qi became prime minister, the Han family has produced many prime ministers, including political officials, privy councilors, and even more ordinary officials.[]

Until the Southern Song Dynasty, the Han family was still the first aristocratic family, and the powerful prime minister Han Yuzhou was Han Qi's great-grandson.

If the Song and Han systems were not different, it would be difficult to form an intricate local influence. I am afraid that the Han family would have become the Yuan family long ago, which would have wiped out the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

The families in front of these students have some secret affairs.

His demeanor was somewhat unnatural.

Liang Shanjun's kindness to the people has long been known.

But there are also wider rumors about his cruelty towards evil gentry and rebels.

In the Battle of Shijiedu, nearly a thousand rebel soldiers were hanged in the end.

When many military states divided their fields, the evil gentry were hanged and their property was confiscated, which made these people even more horrified.

"Alas, I wonder if the imperial court will send troops here?"

"The continuous disaster of war is not a blessing to the place."

"My family is fine, I haven’t done anything excessive.……"

"But Liangshan values ​​practical learning, so we have no place to apply ourselves.……"

A group of students, including professors and other officials in the school, all looked sad for a while.

The city was silent, with only the sound of horses' hooves trampling on the ground, and the constant shouts of the cavalry to calm the people's hearts, which spread throughout the city..
