I'm a big dick

Chapter 556 Education New Deal
The sky is blue, and early summer is neither too hot nor too cold, which is a comfortable season.

After coming out of the county school, Lu Luocai, wearing a brand-new student uniform, walked on the streets of the county town, feeling even more refreshed.With the excitement and excitement, everything you see is pleasing to the eye.

As an old student who has been in the exam for more than 20 years, Lu Luocai is already disheartened and thinks that the student is hopeless.What's more, for studying and taking exams, he is already destitute, and his wife is about to starve and run away.

In desperation and dubiousness, Lu Luo signed up to the government and participated in the imperial court's new policy of setting up schools in every village.

The village set up a school, with Tongsheng or Xiucai as the teacher, teaching the village children to read and write free of charge, and they can enjoy the subsidies given by the imperial court to the students.

At the end of the three-year period, Tong Sheng can be promoted to a scholar without a test, that is, a student member; and a scholar can be selected by the Ministry of Officials, starting from the bottom officials.

If you are already a student and do not respond to the new policy of the imperial court, the treatment of the student will be cancelled.In other words, students have to support themselves, and the subsidies given by the imperial court will not be given.

Prior to this, the imperial court had abolished the policy of exempting students and officials from toll taxes.It is tantamount to cutting off the way for profiteers to evade taxes and students and officials to make extra money.

Only these two policies caused students and officials to complain endlessly.But the imperial examination system is still there, and the factory guards and inspectorate are also staring at it. Who dares to blatantly oppose it?

The most important thing is the holy will. Anyone with a heart can see that the emperor has a bad impression of some scholars and has no scruples about suppressing them.Moreover, the conditions for officials to transfer to officials have been relaxed, so there is no need to worry about the gap between officials and officials.

In any case, the subsidies for the students were cancelled, the privileged treatment was abolished, and many students were severely punished. Finally, the arrogance of this class was eliminated.

But someone like Lu Luocai, who was not even a student, knew that the imperial examination was hopeless, or was forced by life, so he had to become a teacher and receive a share of money to support his family.

However, there is a big difference between this teacher and the social teacher of the previous sociology set up in the township.One is to enjoy the original student subsidies, the other is to have room for improvement, and the third is to study for free for the children of ordinary people.

Lu Luocai became a teacher because he had hope. Now that his three-year term has expired, he has finally passed the review and officially became a scholar, and he is also among the students.

In the Ming Dynasty, becoming a scholar was considered a real scholar. Not only did the clothes change, the social status improved, but also the respect of others was gained, which was the starting point of fame.

After five years of teaching, he will be promoted to be a catering student, and the government will provide subsidies and daily living expenses, which is the highest among the three types of students.And the imperial court has improved this treatment, which is enough for the family of the granary staff.

One ups and downs, Lu Luo finally figured it out now, just being good at reading is not what the emperor likes, if he is willing to put down his face to do practical work, even if his knowledge is not good enough, he can still gain fame and fortune.

After waiting for another two years, Lu Luo was ready to become an official. With five years of teaching experience, he would be able to enter the official selection list of the Ministry of Officials without examination.

Obviously, Lu Luocai was not reconciled to teaching, which was also a common characteristic of scholars in that era.

But the emperor didn't care about this. It didn't cost the court much to transfer the original preferential treatment to students to teaching and educating people.Whether it's three years or five years, it's better than the original students who are idle and doing nothing.

"Brother Lu—" A startled exclamation interrupted Lu Luocai's complacency and joy, he turned his head to look, and hurriedly bowed to salute, "I have seen Master Li."

Li Zhengdong looked at Lu Luocai's student clothes again, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations Brother Lu, no, you should call him Maocai."

Lu Luocai blushed, and hurriedly resigned: "Your Excellency Li laughed, this student..."

Li Zhengdong waved his hand and said: "You don't need to be overly modest. A certain person was transferred from official to official, similar to Brother Lu."

"What's more--" Li Zhengdong changed the subject and continued: "This is all in line with the policies and laws of the imperial court, and it is upright."

Lu Luo just blinked his eyes, cupped his hands and said, "What Master Li said is very true, I'm thinking about it."

Li Zhengdong was dressed in casual clothes, but after he was transferred from official to official, he was promoted to be the master, only under the county magistrate and county magistrate.And the county magistrate was transferred to Liaodong to be promoted to the county magistrate. He had great hope of being promoted to the county magistrate position.

As a fellow villager, Li Zhengdong is no stranger to Lu Luocai, an old boy.Now, since Lu Luocai is a student, he does not bow down when he sees an official.The improvement of social status, relying on Li Zhengdong's tact, naturally he will not be easily offended.

"I heard that Zhang Jiaoyu of the county school is going to be promoted, is it true or not?" Lu Luo felt that Li Zhengdong should know some inside information, so he asked tentatively.

Li Zhengdong chuckled, glanced away, saw the teahouse, and invited Lu Luocai to drink tea and talk in detail.

Entering the teahouse, I found a quiet place, and the tea doctor served tea, and the two chatted.

"Zhang Jiaoyu has applied to the Ministry of Officials to serve in Liaodong, and it has been approved, and he has been promoted to the post of government advisor." Li Zhengdong sipped his tea and said with a smile: "Master Zhixian will have a farewell banquet for him tomorrow."

Lu Luocai was slightly startled, and said in amazement, "Upgrade two levels in a row!"

Li Zhengdong smiled, and said: "Officials who take the initiative to apply for Liaodong, if approved, must be promoted at least one level."

Aware of Lu Luocai's suspicious gaze, Li Zhengdong smiled wryly and said, "I also applied, but unfortunately it was not approved."

Lu Luo thought about it for a while and said, "Since Prime Minister Sun is promoted, it is reasonable for Mr. Li to succeed him, right?"

"Not necessarily." Li Zhengdong shook his head and said, "There are many officials selected by the Ministry of Officials, most of them will be dispatched from them."

After finishing speaking, Li Zhengdong took the lead to change the topic, and said: "Let's not talk about this. Brother Lu is already a student, and he deserves preferential treatment from the court. Please report it as soon as possible, and I will handle it as soon as possible."

Although the emperor canceled many preferential treatment for the original students, policies such as exemption from corvee were retained, and they were not cut across the board, which was regarded as saving some face for the scholars.

Lu Luocai quickly agreed, and asked Li Zhengdong about the latest policy of the imperial court.When he thought about it, it would be the same wherever he went to teach. If he could enjoy better treatment, he could consider another place.

Li Zhengdong pondered for a while, and said: "Both Mekong Province and Liaodong Province are short of scholars. If brother Lu is not afraid of remoteness and bitter cold, he can teach there for a few years, and it will be easy to get an official."

"Mekong Province is overseas, and I don't want to go there." Lu Luo shook his head and rejected one, "Liaodong is fine."

Li Zhengdong said: "Well, anyway, Brother Lu still has two years to go, so there is no need to worry. This year is the first year of rebuilding Liaodong, and it must be difficult in all aspects."

After a pause, Li Zhengdong continued: "As for rural learning and village learning, the imperial court seems to be launching a new policy. Brother Lu will wait and see, the safest thing to do."

new deal? !Lu Luo frowned. Could it be that the exemption from examination and selection by the Ministry of Officials should be voided?
