Eight-year-old me, take leave of absence to return to the village to preside over the wedding!

For Gao Yuhua, they are in the government.

The biggest danger of clans is that they will hinder policy!

You can’t go to the countryside without the permission of the clan family.

At the time when the clans of the old society intervened in the collection of grain taxes.

Clans can even dictate the finances of your central government in some cases.

The material basis of grassroots governance is population and taxation.

With the clan barrier, the control of the official government will gradually shrink.

For these ordinary people below the clan elder of the clan.

Your birth, old age, illness and death, school promotion, marriage and funeral are all related to the clan.

Materially rich and well-governed clans can give you security.

But if your parents die, you may be eaten out.

If your husband dies, the clan may severely hinder your freedom to marry.

You must be widowed or you will be immersed in the pig cage.

Even in extreme cases, you only need to offend the interests of a certain clan elder.

An unintentional act in the ancestral ancestral hall.

It can also be labeled as disrespectful to the ancestors and betraying the clan.

It is even possible to be lynched to death!

If you are rented out of the race, you can also be expelled.

Let honest people become displaced people who can be bullied.

So ah, clan this load.

It was originally created by the small family of the old society in order to cope with the risk response.

There used to be many benefits, but soon went to its opposite.

If there are still people who think how good the clans are in some places.

On the one hand, Ye Gong is a good dragon, and on the other hand, he pretends to be confused.

Gao Yuhua also looked at the same Hu solemnly at this time and said:

“In the new era of rule of law society, clan forces have long lost the premise and necessity for their existence.”

“What’s more, it has always supported the strong and not the weak.”

“Since the founding of this dynasty, the imperial court and the official government have not been optimistic about the clan forces.”

“All the ancestral halls in our north have been communalized.”

“It’s either used as government offices and schools, or it’s demolished.”

“All clan forces and clan activities disappeared without a trace.”

“Clan forces use traditional culture to engage in activities with great fanfare,”

“Repair the ancestral hall, repair the family tree, and organize a huge ancestor worship activity.”

“Even now it is ready to obstruct the development and construction of the city.”

“This doesn’t bode well!”

“Carrying forward traditional culture has been carried forward to the point of pulling the banner and pulling tiger skins.”

“At every turn, thousands of people kneel and worship their ancestors.”

“What’s the actual meaning of it? Where is its social contribution? ”

“In my opinion, all this Chinese is negative.”

When Hu Zhuangyan heard this, he also shook his head and said with a bitter smile:

“Old Gao, clan relations cannot be bypassed in local work.”

“Those of us who eat official meals must understand clan relations in order to carry out our work.”

“To find a strong starting point for the work.”

“Otherwise, when you are constrained by clan relations, a lot of work will not be able to move forward.”

“Clan ties in the countryside are deeply entrenched and intertwined.”

“Don’t work in townships, don’t chat with the masses, don’t go deep into the countryside.”

“You don’t know how complex the network of relationships is on this side of the South.”

When Gao Yuhua heard this, his face was a little solemn.

This old Hu finally got to the point!

And Hu Zhuangyan also looked at the environment around him at this time.

Pull Gao Yuhua, the leader who came out of the provincial capital Yamen.

I found a village under a large banyan tree, which is relatively secluded.

After the two sat down, Hu solemnly said slowly:

“The existence of clan relations is due to geography, blood relations, and interests.”

“There is a rational basis for existence.”

“It can be said that not only southern townships, but even the whole country.”

“Clan ties are the genes that grow up in our country and this nation.”

“This can’t be changed, and you and I can’t do anything.”

“In a way, clan ties tend to build their own moats.”

“In the miniature society from the township to the county.”

“It can be maximized.”

“Under such conditions.”

“The patriarch and the squires of the clan will make each family hand over a part of its property.”

“Let the most promising person in the family go to school and business.”

“These people will also return the family’s support and cultivation in return.”

“Relying on the resources of officialdom to provide shelter for the family.”

“Rely on the model of rolling development to strengthen the power of the family.”

“Of course, this Chen family is no exception.”

Hearing this, Gao Yuhua also shrank his pupils.

“Old Hu, you mean to say’.”

“The power behind the Chen family is deeply rooted.”

“There are a lot of people in politics?”

Hearing this, Hu Zhuangyan also quickly waved his hand.

“We don’t know about this, and we don’t know how many resources the Chen family has now.”

“But I know a little about how much influence the Ming and Qing Dynasties had before.”

“It is said that there was a saying in the official circles of Jiang Province at that time during the Qing Dynasty.”

“It’s called Wu Chen Bu Yamen, and it can only operate with Master Chen surnamed Chen.”

Hear him say that.

Gao Yuhua was also puzzled when he heard this?

“No Chen? Where does this start? ”

Hearing this, Hu Zhuangyan also smiled and explained:

“There’s a reason for that.”

“I just said that this Fengyang Feng Shui Dragon Vein was destroyed.”

“And this thing, whether we really have feng shui influence.”

“Or secretly really ostracized by the Manchus.”

“In short, it is indeed difficult for this Chen family to pass the imperial examination and enter the ranks.”

“And this Chen family is an old family that has survived for thousands of years.”

“Of course, there are some people in it who understand.”

“For those Manchu nobles, what is Jiangshan Sheji?”

“Jiangshan Sheji is the ancestral inheritance left by the ancestors.”

“It is the meaning that their Qing Dynasty has been passed down from generation to generation.”

“But there is an unchanging world under the world, which is why there is Enko.”

“This feudal court, the so-called Enkokaoju.”

“It is to give grace to the world’s gentlemen and to the delight of the world’s readers.”

“But in fact, the first meaning of the imperial examination.”

“It is neither the selection of talents, nor the cultivation of the world.”

“It’s a cage of lofty ideals, so that all the smart people in the world will enter the cage of the eight strands.”

“Let them delve into the chapters and sentences, and the white head is poor.”

“That way, these people won’t be whimsical.”

“It’s not easy to be fooled by crooked ways.

“That reader is stable, even if there are still people in the world who want to rebel.”

“It’s just some grass curses, it can’t be a big deal.”

“And what if the Chen family can’t become an official through the right path?”

“They came up with a new path.”

“That is to be the staff master of those court officials.”

Saying that, Hu Zhuangyan also explained.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial court evaluated the achievements of a local official.

There is a very simple set of criteria.

The first is to see if you can receive enough money, taxes and food.

The second is to look at the level of local security and judge the case.

The local people are dissatisfied, and whether the society can maintain stability.

To sum up, it is a sentence, money and grain taxes ensure the safety of the people.

Sounds simple, but for magistrates.

This sentence is undoubtedly the Book of Heaven!

Behind the judgment of cases and money and food are judicial and fiscal taxation.

Even today, when higher education is relatively popular.

These are also two highly specialized areas.

It is simply impossible to leave local officials alone to do that.

And the Confucian students who could become officials in the Qing Dynasty learned best in this life only to write the eight strands of literature.

Let them memorize the four books and five sutras, and catch them with their hands.

But let them govern the people and reconcile the contradictions of the people.

That is definitely embarrassing these masters who only read the books of the sages.

Even for those Manchu nobles who did not learn and had no skills, it was even more impossible.

And like that, a high-ranking official who can recite the laws of the dynasty backwards.

For example, Zeng Guofan, one of the four famous ministers of the Qing Dynasty.

This kind of person can be a talent who can be literate and martial.

In the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties, they are absolute top talents.

However, most officials are of judicial level.

It’s hard to get to that point.

While greedy and bent on making money.

It would be nice to be willing to do things for the people!

For example, the officialdom of Jiang Province during the Jiaqing period.

A new governor named Chen Hanzhang was ushered in.

As soon as he arrived in office, he angrily denounced the magistrates for not understanding the law.

It is said that they tried cases based solely on the wisdom of their staff.

According to the report, he was at a loss and had no opinion! (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

The friend in this refers to the master.

There is a big difference compared to the staff.

First of all, in ancient China, the governors above the prefecture and prefecture level were also leading positions.

Grassroots county-level Yamen are not allowed to set up “shogunates.”

Therefore, although the curtain friends of the grassroots prefectures and counties of the Qing Dynasty took the name of the curtain.

But what it is entering is the “curtain without a curtain”.

In particular, the makuyou does not hold public office.

Many people not only do not have official status, but even do not have “meritorious names”.

These masters behind the scenes are not country gentry.

They also do not receive salaries from the State.

They are paid by the officials who hire them, taken out of private pockets.

However, because the duties of the master are similar to those of the staff.

At the same time, it has close personal relationships with local officials.

It is a think tank privately hired by officials.

Therefore, they followed the practice of staff members and called them “behind-the-scenes friends”.

This shows that most of the county officials in Jiang Province at that time.

The trial of the case all depended on the master in the shogunate, and the prefectural order lived like a rubber stamp.

However, this inspector, Chen Hanzhang, mentioned that officials took money to hire behind-the-scenes friends.

It is all up to the master to handle the phenomenon of official affairs.

It is indeed a major feature of Qing Dynasty politics.

The official title of this master is “Muyou”.

Or “curtain guest” and “curtain guest”.

These masters are specially trained.

A reader with a skill.

Employed by magistrates at all levels as a private consultant in a specialized subject.

and assist the Chief Officer in handling various special official duties.

Although they deal with official business.

Proficient in various laws is sufficient to be competent for various official positions.

But there is no public office.

In fact, he held a certain public office and had an official title.

They become “staff” rather than “friends.”

And those governors who are in charge of the local governors.

They are often selected from among doctors who do not have official positions.

It is customary for those who handle military affairs, disaster relief, river work, water transportation, and other affairs to be called “staff members.”

Those who handle ordinary administrative and judicial affairs are still called “behind-the-scenes friends”.

Some of these staff members already have official titles and meritorious reputations.

Some are still civilians.

Most of their remuneration was paid out of the shogunate’s funds.

Generally speaking, the professionals who handle normal administrative and judicial affairs are the friends of the scene.

However, long-term assistant to the prefectural order rarely has the opportunity to rise to the rank of official official.

And the staff who handle special government affairs such as military affairs, relief, river work, and water transportation.

It is easy to be entrusted with official positions and enter the career path.

Zuo Zongtang, who recovered the frontier at the end of the Qing Dynasty, is a typical example of this journey.

After Zuo Zongtang was selected, he failed to pass the junior high school entrance examination three times.

Therefore, I simply thought of the imperial examination and turned to the study of the military art of war.

Later, the Taiping Army in the Qing Dynasty caused chaos in the world.

It gave him the opportunity to get ahead.

In the second year of Xianfeng, when the Taiping army besieged Changsha.

Zuo Zongtang was recommended by his old friend Hu Linyi.

With quite a military strategy, he knows how to lead troops.

went to Hu Province to serve as a master under Zhang Liangji and help with advice.

For this reason, Zhang Liangji went to the imperial court and gave him an empty title of Qipinzhi County.

The following year, the Taiping army withdrew from the siege, and Zuo Zongtang was promoted to the title of Tongzhi of Zhizhi Prefecture for meritorious service.

But there are still titles but no official positions.

Later, Luo Bingzhang served as the governor of Hu Province and hired Zuo Zongtang as a behind-the-scenes friend.

And he trusted Master Zuo’s vision very much, almost obeying his words!

In the shogunate of Yamon throughout Lake Province.

It seems that a Zuo Master without an official position is in charge.

Later, Zuo Zongtang was promoted by Zeng Guofan and others.

He was appointed by the imperial court to “rule the army from Zeng Guofan”.

Successfully transformed from a behind-the-scenes friend to a staff member!

It laid the foundation for showing his skills in the future on the eunuch road.

Local officials face heavy government affairs such as finance, economy, justice, and local politics.

Unable to do everything, he had to hire a wide range of masters.

They each have their own specialties and play the role of doppelgangers of magistrates.

In ancient Chinese government agencies.

It is the officials who give the orders, and the records in the books are the officials.

And the Qing Dynasty Muyou was neither an official nor an official.

They are experts hired by officials to act as personal consultants.

Although Muyou, who did not have any public office, was the actual operator of government affairs in the Qing Dynasty.

Regardless of judicial adjudication, tax collection, official document approval, examination selection and other government affairs.

There are dedicated behind-the-scenes operations.

The emperor set up officials to govern the people, and the officials asked the curtain friends to help him govern the people, so it was called “George”.

And these chiefs are close to their friends.

Later, he gradually became the master in the mouths of the common people.

Throughout the history of the Qing Dynasty, various large and small government offices.

All of them are friends involved in government affairs and help officials deal with various official affairs.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were 1358 counties, 124 prefectures, 245 prefectures and 18 provinces.

Inside what is the governor according to the inspector, the governor of each place of the Yamen.

As well as the Six Departments of the Imperial Court, the Dali Temple Lifan Yuan, and the Zhan Shifu Ducha Yuan.

The local government office plus the organ of the imperial court, the Yamen.

As long as the chief officer of each Yamen invites a few masters.

Then the total number of masters in the country should be as many as 10,000 or 20,000!

The formation of a large group of scale can be said.

No less than a bureaucratic team with formal crowns!

At the end of the feudal dynastic era of the Qing court.

Officials at all levels have the figure of the master (Wang Wang).

Among the masters, there are mostly Fengyang people.

Among Master Fengyang, the surname Chen is the mainstay.

Go up to the Governor’s Yamen and down to the County Bell Yamen.

The most common language is Master Fengyang’s Jiangzhou official dialect.

Legend has it that during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.

Under Tian Wenjing, the governor of Yuzhou, there was a Jiangzhou master named Lin Sidao.

One day Master Lin asked Tian Wenjing:

“Sir, you want to be a famous governor.”

“Or do you want to be a normal governor?”

Tian Wenjing replied, “Of course I want to be a famous governor!” ”

Master Lin then said, “If you want to be a famous governor, your lord. ”

“Just let me do it, don’t interfere.”

He then drafted a note for Tian Wenjing.

Tian Wenjing was not allowed to read half a word, transcribed and sealed it overnight, and sent someone to Jingshi .

Afterwards, Master Lin said to Tian Wenjing:

“As long as this performance is up, the matter of adults being promoted and getting rich will become a thing.”

It turned out that the content of this compromise was impeachment.

At that time, the powerful official Shangshu.

Ronkodo, one of the four ministers of Prime Minister’s affairs!

Longkodo is the uncle of the Yongzheng Emperor Yin!

After the death of the Kangxi Emperor, he read the edict.

Let Yin Yu, who is the fourth brother, succeed to the throne.

But after Yin Yu became emperor.

It is always felt that Roncodo was involved in his own plot to usurp the imperial throne.

And in the Kangxi Dynasty’s “Nine Sons Seizing the Crown” incident.

Roncodo jumped left and right several times.

Yongzheng has long seen that this product is not pleasing to the eye, and he really wants to extinguish this insider!

After all, only the dead will not tell the secret.

So when Master Lin drafted this fold for Tian Wenjing.

After arriving in front of Yongzheng, it was the arms of the emperor!

The ruthless Yongzheng just took advantage of the topic to play, and dismissed the official of Ronkodo!

He was then sentenced to imprisonment and finally died in a seclusion center.

But because of this incident, the Yongzheng Emperor favored Tian Wenjing.

He was not only the long-term governor of Yuzhou, but also the governor of Qingji.

Become the most trusted local officer under his command.

And Master Lin also gained Tian Wenjing’s reliance and trust.
