Chapter 775 The prime minister must start in the state and county, and the main hall must be in the countryside

Hu Zhu is the eldest son of Hu Zai, the head of the Hu clan in Jizhou. The Hu family has settled in Jizhou for seven generations since the founding prince Hu Gongba of Luling in the Zhao Song Dynasty.He has a great family and a great business, and he is one of the few leading figures among the gentry in Jizhou, with great influence.

Such a family and the eldest son should have had a mortal enmity with Lu Qi's army. In fact, many families in Jizhou are making two-handed preparations.While making people flee south to the south of the Lingnan, they set up camps on countless hills in Jizhou, hoarded food and grass, and wanted to fight the Lu Qi army to the end.

When it comes to the resistance of the gentry, many people will laugh when they see it, but a side note, this Jizhou is the Ji'an of later generations, where Jinggangshan is located.There are high mountains and high mountains everywhere, and it is not impossible to kill all the local snakes, but they will always contain a part of the Qi army.Just like that toad landed on the instep, it was disgusting even if it didn't scare people to death.

Among the big families there, only Hu Zhu chose to surrender openly.

This is because the general trend is the general trend, and it is impossible for the world to be overthrown again; secondly, he insists that the Hu family is relatively clean and self-sufficient, and even some unscrupulous descendants are limited to distant branches and close relatives, and they are all worthy of trust.

This is like a burning candle in the darkness, although the light is dim, it is very dazzling.

Chao Gai let people understand the direct line of the Hu family. Although there are some bureaucrats in the family, in the main line of the direct line, great-grandfather Hu Lian, grandfather Hu Kai, father Hu Zai, and the Hu lineage have not served Zhao Song for three generations. Take "farming and reading" as a career.Can be said to be 'innocent' also.

Hu Zhu himself studied mechanics since he was a child, and studied under the famous Confucianist Xiao Chu.This Xiao Chu is a typical sender. When Cai Jing was in charge of the government in his middle age, Xiao Chu was jealous of his treachery and lived in seclusion in Sangu Mountain to teach his disciples. Returning the control to the king of heaven, and the transfer of deep abstinence to the prestige and blessings, that is to say, Cai Jing's exclusive power at that time, which violated the majesty of the imperial power.The discussion in the whole book closely revolves around the power and treachery of the country, and the arguments are upright, which not only conforms to the meaning of Confucius' writing, but also tactfully denounces the times.His theories in the book are different from Hu Anguo's research method, which is fond of current affairs and often contradicts the scriptures; Among the Confucians, there is only one tree.But such a person is a loyal minister of Zhao Song.

When Chao Gaibing entered southern Jiangxi, he sent people to hire Xiao Chu early, but the latter scolded him sternly and refused to comply.But Hu Zhu, one of his disciples, reluctantly got in touch with Chao Gai. When Lu Qi's army entered Jizhou, Hu Zhu gave a loud shout, raised a flag and righteously, and submitted to Chao Gai.He even used his reputation to make considerable contributions to Chao Gai's army in pacifying southern Jiangxi, at least in Jizhou.

In this way, Hu Zhu became one of Chao Gai's military secretaries, and then used Chao Gai's face to move Hu Quan's household registration to Yidu.

In Yidu, Hu Quan received a completely different education from that in Jizhou.When he was in Jizhou, Xiao Chu was the best at managing the Spring and Autumn Period. Even if the Confucian classics were real classics, there were only a few of them.

Thousands of years of Confucianism, generations of my notes and other notes and historical inventions have extended countless forks.Like countless branches from a big tree.

But after all, it is a bit single.

And what about Yidu?

Whether it is county school, state school, or private school, Chinese, arithmetic, geography, history and physical education are all compulsory.There are also optional tutoring courses such as natural common sense, art of war, jurisprudence, and abacus...

Hu Quan's education experience in Yidu is completely different from his hometown Jizhou.These are two completely different educational concepts.

Not to mention public opinion propaganda.Among Lu Qi's official newspapers, whether it is the official newspaper "Pravda" of the Ministry of Rites, or the official newspaper "Qiong Lin" of the Imperial College, they instill a concept to outsiders all the time-the old school is only a one-sided talent. of learning.In the new dynasty, cultivating scholars and educating people is more important than all-round materials and professional talents.

Invisibly, Chinese studies are equal to arithmetic, geography, history, etc.Even from the fact that geography and history have been stripped from the Confucian knowledge system.

Ever since Confucianism was abolished, academic schools one after another have had no choice but to change their appearance, put on the crown of Confucianism, and mixed in with Confucianism.However, the long time has caused their descendants to forget their ancestors, and really regard themselves as a Confucian student, and regard the art of war, arithmetic, law, astronomy, meteorology, and even the study of craftsman as a part of Confucianism. Confucianism has actually completed the unification of Chinese knowledge.

Whether it is a warrior, a monk, a Taoist priest, a Confucian general, a Confucian monk, or a Confucian Taoist, after entering the Zhao and Song Dynasties, in China after the integration of the three religions, Confucianism has completely lost its enemies.

"The benevolent are invincible"? It has turned all its enemies into its own people, so where can the enemies come from?Even the way of merchants, which has always been despised by Confucians, has produced a Confucian merchant.

To give an example of facts, whether it is judiciary or taxation, or engineering and the military, we all need people with multiple abilities.How can the world be governed by only the Four Books and Five Classics?

Hu Quan studied hard in Yidu for a year, and then passed the scholar examination of Yidu Prefecture. He gave up the opportunity in Yidu City and chose to be a small rural official in Laiqu.Although he is still half a step higher in terms of rank, he is now at rank nine and has entered the category of official.After all, it was an opportunity to stay in Yidu. Even if he was just an inconspicuous official, he would be better than a rural official from other places in the eyes of many people.

But Hu Quan chose Linqu, just because there was already an unwritten unspoken rule in the official circles of the Lu Qi Dynasty-the prime minister must start from the state and county, and the main hall must be located in the countryside.

The meaning is very simple. If you want to be a local parent and a top official in the local government, you must have the experience of being a township official.

Naturally, such a condition cannot be applied to everyone, but Hu Quan is only the 'mass of the people'.It is true that he has some relationships, but the support behind him is obviously not enough for him to break the existing unspoken rules.

In line with the idea that he would come down sooner or later, it was better to come down early than to come down late. He had never thought of being a subordinate official in the yamen all his life, so he rushed to Linqu happily.And he was able to jump up one level, from an ordinary civil servant to the deputy mayor of Jiushan Township, Linqu County.How nice!
But even though he has been employed for more than two months, Hu Quan still lacks some necessary qualities of a township official.He can speak clearly and logically to the documents issued by Baochang Baozheng and others, and he can also be kind to the old farmers in the countryside.Is the Hu family the heirloom of 'farming and reading'?But he definitely can't do what Li Qiong is doing now, like a hawker peddling along the street, yelling and advertising.But unfortunately, Lu Qi's township officials are always inseparable from such "hysterical" moments.

Whether it is today's joint action between the Internal Affairs Office and the Secretary of Public Affairs, or the indispensable recruitment of workers and soldiers every year, why don't the township officials go to the village and shout at the top of their lungs?

In a word, Hu Quan's face has not been cultivated enough.This is the same as a blind date, the first few times you don't blush.But after looking at it more than a dozen times, it is called a calm demeanor, and I am used to it.

As a man with a humble position but a long-term mind, Hu Quan knows that he must overcome this weakness, and he must overcome it as soon as possible.

Times have changed.Lu Qi's officials are completely different from Zhao Song's officials, and as a person who enters the officialdom, what he has to do is not to complain, but to adapt to something.

Therefore, Hu Quan will take the initiative to apply for propaganda in the village this time.

"Do you know how many people the Internal Affairs Office needs to recruit? There is no limit to the number of people, and it is not limited to men and women. Both men and women can be over the age of 15 and under the age of 40."

Li Qiong was still shouting loudly, with an excited expression and an excited voice.Hu Quan is also very clear about the reason.He has been in Jiushan Township for nearly two months, and he knows the general situation of the villages under his control, not to mention complete control.

As the name suggests, Jiushan Township is nine mountains, and Yangtian Mountain is one of them. The economic situation of Lijiayuan is a representative of many mountain villages in Jiushan Township.

Relying on the mountains and eating the mountains, the fields are barren and the food can only be eaten.

If the common people plan food in the land, they can at most eat one more meal after a year of hard work. However, although there are countless "treasures" in the mountains, whether you can pick them is another matter.Not to mention the dangers inherent in it.In the past years, in the boundary of Jiushan Township, in what year did no one fall, become disabled and die?
In the eyes of many people, this kind of life is obviously not stable enough.Therefore, Jiushan Township, whose economy is at the bottom of Linqu County, has always been a big supporter of the army and a big migrant worker in Linqu County.

The former is not mentioned, but as long as the latter is slack, the government will yell, as long as they are in charge of food, housing and wages, everyone from all over the world will go.

"Then folks, do you know why the imperial court recruits you? It's just for cashmere."

"What is cashmere? There is a family in Lijiayuan who raises sheep. They should know that goats will shed their hair in February and March. The wool that sheds is cashmere!"

To be honest, when Li Qiong saw what the so-called cashmere was, she was so distressed that she bled.His family also raises sheep, and they have raised them since their ancestors for decades.How much cashmere is wasted.

Look at the purchase price of the cashmere, the worst cashmere is [-] yuan a catty.

Li Qiong shook his head violently, he couldn't think about this anymore, thinking about it made him feel distressed!
"The worst cashmere costs [-] yuan a catty, and the flannelette woven from cashmere is as valuable as brocade."

Brocade is not a flirtatious thing like silk, which is aristocratic in silk fabrics, and its production is limited.You can hardly see it on the market, and the price is not generally expensive.It is not uncommon for an 'ordinary' piece of brocade to sell for thirty or fifty guan.As for the price of silk in Qilu, Hebei, the peak value of a horse is only five hundred yuan.Now that the world is at peace, the silk from Zhejiang in the south has been sent in a steady stream, and the silk weaving industry in Hebei and Qilu has also recovered. The price of silk in the north has dropped from [-] to [-].

"Aye, is it so valuable?"

After hearing that the price of cashmere and the price of flannelette were comparable to brocade, the people in Lijiayuan were all amazed.No matter how ignorant they are, they all know how valuable brocade is.Besides, a catty of cashmere can cost two hundred dollars at worst, which is quite a fortune.Once the rice and noodles outside are only eight or nine hundred cash.

"It's not false like that, don't lie to the common people!" A commoner in the crowd shouted.

The salary of two silver dollars per month is a good opportunity to control food and housing, and to relax the age.

Hu Quan stepped forward hurriedly, "Fellow folks, how dare Xiao Ke cheat. Falsely disseminating official documents is a huge crime. Even if you have ten heads, it is not enough for the court to deal with it. This matter will be endorsed by the imperial court, and there will be no falsehood. . If you are willing to sign up, you will inform Li Baozhang before the year before, sign the contract after the year, and go to Yidu after fifteen kilometers."
