Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 17 Who doesn't envy Wu Gou?
That night.

Qin Luoheng didn't sleep.

He has become a Qin person.

In a few days, I will go to the school to learn the professional skills that Qin officials should possess.

Looking back on this month, he has a dreamy feeling.

A month ago, he was a dead man.

One month later, he stepped into the palace and became qualified to be a Qin official. All this is so unreal.

And
The Qin officials who came out of the school were not ordinary Qin officials.

They are equivalent to the class of later generations, naturally higher than other officials, and the promotion space is also much higher than other officials.

They have the opportunity to enter the court and rank among the three princes and nine ministers.

And "Miscellaneous Laws of Internal History" has a clear stipulation: "Hou, Sikou and other officials must not dare to be official assistants, historians and forbidden courts to steal." '

That is to say, ordinary officials who have not entered the office for advanced training are not allowed to hold high-level official positions with important functions, and can only do some low-level or low-level jobs without much real power.

in Daqin.

All officials with real power will go to the school to study.

The benefits of studying in the school are not only beneficial to being an official in the future. During the study in the school, Shi Zi enjoys preferential treatment such as exemption from corvee.

This is also the reason why a large number of soldiers and heads of Guizhou went to pretend to be Shizi in Qin Dynasty, or some Shizi who were studying were reluctant to complete the graduation procedures, because pretending to be Shizi or delaying graduation would help them escape corvee service.

The content taught in the classroom can be roughly divided into four categories.

Practice calligraphy, writing, military affairs, and arithmetic.

What the Qin Dynasty promoted was "teaching by law and taking officials as teachers".

Learning calligraphy in the classroom is naturally not the Three Character Classic of later generations, but enlightenment readings such as "Cangjie Pian", "Bo Xue Pian" and "Yan Li Pian".

If you want to complete the calligraphy class, there are express regulations.

"Shuowen Jiezi": "The Law of History: Shizi Seventeen has already started the test, and the satire (zhou) book is five thousand characters, so he must be an official." '

That is to say, if you want to graduate, you must be able to recognize and write at least [-] characters.

Before Qin unified the world, Confucian students were strictly prohibited from entering the school.

Qin's rejection of Confucianism was almost undisguised.

Shang Jun's book even bluntly stated that "Poetry", "Book", etiquette, music, etc. are "six lice".

After Qin unified the world, although he began to accept hundreds of schools, he also began to allow Confucian scholars and other hundreds of schools to enter the school, but the historians in the school were not allowed to receive Confucian education, and Confucian students were strictly prohibited from passing on the teachings in the school.

So it is different from the later generations. Confucianism in Impression Middle School teaches you poetry, music, etiquette, Taoism teaches you philosophy, and famous scholars teach you logic and eloquence. This is impossible.

The Qin Dynasty School was run by the government.

They only pay attention to practicality and utilitarianism, and here only teach Shizi how to be an official.

As for the academic research and artistic literacy emphasized by later generations, the government does not need it, and what the court and localities need are only practical talents.

Writing is writing official documents.

Shi Law's requirement is 'Words are harmless'.

That is to say, the writing should be logical and rigorous, and there should be no flaws.

The text is written as a judicial document.

These documents are mainly related to the trial of the case. If there are mistakes in the content, it will lead to unfair judgments. This is a taboo for Qin officials.

Writing is also the top priority of classroom learning!
military!

Officials in the Qin Dynasty were divided into two categories: civil and military.

Literary officials needless to say.

Military officials include county lieutenants, tour officers, pavilion chiefs, and Qiu robbers, etc. These officials are mainly responsible for local security.

The Qin State is a country with soldiers.

All adult men will serve as long as they are not physically handicapped.

This also means that those who break the law are not bad in skill, so if you want to be a competent military official in the Qin Dynasty, you must have good military training, otherwise you will not be able to subdue those rangers and gangsters at all.

Qin Luoheng was very interested in studying military affairs.

He lives in the mountains all year round.

Force is not bad.

However, he does not know military skills such as firing crossbows, riding horses, and driving in the army. He is still very interested in learning these things.

after all
Who doesn't envy Wu Gou?
At first, Qin Luoheng was very surprised that Qin Chao's school taught arithmetic, but later he realized that Qin Chao was a practical government.

The internal affairs of the Qin Dynasty were very heavy.

Such as 'rice millet painting (xiu) lacquer', 'Jia Bingjin leather', 'wrought iron cast gold', 'nuclear work' and 'splendid articles' all require a lot of calculations.

And
The Qin Dynasty had a ninety-nine multiplication table.

However, contrary to later generations, the Qin Dynasty started from "Nine Nine 81" and counted down to "one by one, one by one".

It can be seen from the teaching content of the school that the courses of the Qin Dynasty school are mainly practical, and they cultivate all-round talents in all aspects. Although Shizi may not be proficient in all aspects, he must have dabbled in it. This greatly improved the overall quality of Qin officials.

It's just that the cost of the school system is extremely high.

In the Qin Dynasty, the cost of a bamboo slip was three to five qian. A historian from the beginning of the examination to the completion of the course consumed at least a thousand bamboo slips. After the entire course, the cost of one person was as high as [-] qian. All these funds were paid by the imperial court. .

This is the main reason why the school system cannot be promoted.

It was also the main reason for the collapse of the official government in the late Qin Dynasty.

The imperial court could not afford to train enough qualified officials.

In order to maintain local stability, the imperial court had to use a large number of officials from the original six countries, and the large number of officials from the original six countries would undoubtedly squeeze the promotion space for officials from the school. The bureaucracy is completely crumbling.

Until the empire falls! ! !

Just as Qin Luoheng was contemplating, there was suddenly the sound of Xisuo's footsteps outside the door.

He frowned.

Then he thought of something, got up, and went to open the door.

into the eye.

At the door appeared a young girl wearing a red and black dark coat with a large quilt (xie), with a pale face and lacquered eyes. The girl was not very old, only fourteen or fifteen years old.

Seeing Qin Luoheng, the girl hurriedly saluted.

"Thank you sir"

It's just that her body is really weak, and before her legs bent down, she took a step forward and fell straight down. She was about to fall to the ground, Qin Luoheng quickly reached out to help her, and said with a helpless expression: "It doesn't take so much present."

He helped the girl to the study.

Then I went to the back kitchen and boiled a bowl of salt and sugar water.

After serving it to the girl, he also looked at the girl curiously.

The girl's family background is not common, at least not common in Guishou, because the Qin Dynasty actually had regulations on how to dress, and the dark clothes and big skirts worn by girls were generally only worn by scholars, nobles and other high-status people.

The Qin Dynasty was still dark.

Ordinary people in the state of Qin basically wear black.

Even scholars and nobles generally wear black.

The girl is red and black!

During the Warring States Period, the theory of the cycle of five virtues was already popular, and in order to declare their legitimacy, the seven heroes of the Warring States Period each chose a color as the national color.

Jin is divided into three families.

Wei Shanghuode, Shang Hong;
Han Shangmude, Shanglu;
Wood virtues and fire virtues were all occupied by Han and Wei. In order to declare the legitimacy of the country, Zhao Guo once again deduced the theory of the five elements, and made a "fire virtue is the main, wood virtue is the auxiliary, wood assists the fire, The more intense the fire', that is, the fire wood virtue.

The color Zhao Guo admired was seven points of red and three points of blue.

Qi Weitian and Qi Daijiang, in order to allow the world to recognize their orthodoxy, also deduced the theory of the five elements, and put forward the Huo Jinde of "fire virtue is the main, gold virtue is supplemented, gold is refined by fire, and the king's weapon is eternal". .

The color that Qi State admired also became purple.

Chu barbarians also!
In the early days, Chu State didn’t care about the Five Elements Theory at all. Later, in order to integrate into the Central Plains and annex other vassal states reasonably in the future, it also began to consider its own orthodoxy. Tongde' is Tude.

The color favored by the state of Chu is khaki.

Yan State is an authentic prince of the royal family, and it is logical to inherit Zhou's fire virtue. However, the Yan family thinks that fire virtue has declined. If they inherit fire virtue again, the fire will definitely go out.

So the deduction of "Swallows near the North Sea, talent water virtue".

Yan admires blue.

In the Qin Dynasty, it was water virtue and black.

As for the state of Qin, Qin Ting never admitted that he advocated the virtue of water, and only declared that his country was still black.

During the Warring States period, the five elements of Xia, Shang and Zhou had been established, and the Zhou royal family still existed. Although the vassal states coveted the world, except for the authentic royal vassal state of Yan, no one dared to really say that they admired the virtue of water, so there was This strange situation.

The other six countries all know that Qin State respects the virtue of water, but Qin State just refuses to admit it, and when Qin State admits that it respects the virtue of water, it will be after Yingzheng has unified the world.

After staring at the red and black clothes, Qin Luoheng asked curiously, "Are you from the original Wei country?"
