Chapter 490 You Can Support by Donating Money and Earning Points
"We in the Tang Dynasty now have real-duty officials, civil and military officials, as well as honors and titles. It's a mess."
When several people were curious, Li Yi talked about the official system of the Tang Dynasty.
Honors are generally given to soldiers, but for rewards, it is more difficult to get titles. The title needs to be given to the actual fiefdom, and the rent is given to those households according to the number of households.
In the later stage, Xun can spend money to buy it, with honor and rank.
"It's not very messy." Li Chengqi felt that he could tell the difference clearly.
"So let's make it more chaotic, no, more perfect. Add a businessman's honor of paying taxes and donating money.
You can name it whatever you want, but you can’t always have it, it can be consumed.
For example, if you pay one min in tax, you will be given one point; if you donate one min, you will be given one point.
When the points reach a certain level, give a title, and when the points reach a certain level, give another one. "
Li Yi introduced his other points system.
"Uncle, what are the points for?" Queen Wang asked naturally.
"In exchange for the imperial examination quota, local rural tributes cannot come to the capital to participate in the imperial examination after studying. To select the best, the court can..."
Li Yi started to talk about how to use it.
Let the local government give students scores, not excellent or good, but be more specific, how many points are given for which items, and why.
The businessman exchanged points for one point.
As long as you have enough money, other points can be lower. But if you are a fool, you must have a bottom line.
This was equivalent to extra points for his high school entrance examination at that time, and did not involve the college entrance examination.
If the family members of local merchants, or the merchants themselves, want to get a place in the imperial examination in Chang'an, there is no problem in using points.
Whether I can pass the exam when I get to Chang'an is another matter.
"The richer the place, the greater the need. Rich places have a flourishing literary style. There are so many good students in the Jiangnan generation.
There is a lot of pressure to compete and there are few places. Some people fail to do well in official studies there, and there are also ethnic studies who want to get here and have to find a way.
It's not up to anyone to leave, the court will give them a chance and get money. Maybe I'll be ranked average there, but I'll be able to perform beyond my level in Chang'an. "
Li Yi expressed the thoughts of many parents of students. Just in case, give them a chance to try.
For example, in his case, the test questions in some places are much more difficult than in others.
If the candidates there were to move to another place to take the exam with other people, it would be the end of the world elsewhere.
Therefore, take the exam according to the location of your household registration. Don't rush around and leave a way for others to survive.
When Li Yi came out with his theory, the people in the single room were confused.
For the first time, I discovered that the imperial examination could be used for other things.
After more than ten breaths, Li Longji recovered: "Brother Yi, do you choose someone who is talented enough to act like this?"
"Serving the country and the people is talent. Businessmen provide money, and the court takes the money and gives it to the people of the world and to the border officers and soldiers.
Some merchants brought back military horses from outside, and the court gave them rewards.
How is paying taxes and donating money different from that of a businessman? "
Li Yi mentioned that the court rewarded horse-changing merchants, which was essentially the same.
"I think the ministers in the court will not agree easily." Li Chengqi approved Li Yi's method, but was worried about the others.
"Give them extra salaries, divide them into a certain proportion based on how much tax the court increases every year, and give them to officials based on their evaluation."
Li Yi then gave another idea.
Businessmen's taxes and donations were considered an increase in revenue for the court. The more money, the more officials received.
Li Longji picked up the wine and pondered for a moment: "Even if there is no extra salary, there will be many ministers in the court who agree."
"That's right." Empress Wang said, "Some of them are backed by their families, and some of them have connections with big businessmen."
Li Yi smiled and lowered his head to eat.
He believed that if word got out, there would be a fight.
People from poor families will not agree, but officials with big families and those who benefit from businessmen must agree.
All reforms are a matter of benefit distribution.
Li Yi believes that in the end it is balance with money.
Using points in exchange is fair to students who have money and study well.
The imperial examination selected talents, and Chang'an's imperial examination had no limit on the number of admissions.
If ten thousand people can answer all the questions correctly, they will all be ranked first.
The real conflict lies in the position of officials, and there are not so many local arrangements.
But that is something that needs to be done later, just like when he was a college student.
The first college students were great, but later even if they went to a prestigious school, it would be difficult to find a satisfactory job after graduation unless they excelled.
In the end, there are still people taking the exam every year, and the number of students is increasing.
It's the same as the imperial examination. Come on, take all the exams. If you pass the exams, you will all be ranked first.
This was the first time that Li Longji and others came into contact with this disguised practice of selling officials for money.
They were thinking about it and remained silent for a while.
When the meal was almost over, Li Cheng said angrily: "It's hard for children from poor families!"
"In the future, business taxes will increase in the Tang Dynasty, and mediocrity and harmony will be abolished, and poor families will benefit." Li Yi did not feel that it would have an impact on the children of poor families.
If you learn well, you don’t need to get points to buy it.
The points quota is an additional quota and does not occupy the original quota.
It's just that the children of rich families exchanged money for opportunities. It has never been fair, or in other words, this is what is fair.
After dinner, Li Longji and Queen Wang left, and Li Chengqi also left with a few birds made of bamboo.
That bird was the one Bi Gou saw when he arrived. The bird's belly was used to hold gunpowder, and two propellant nozzles were tied to the bird's body.
This is called the Divine Fire Flying Crow, which is used to attack cities, and is more useful than the Sky Monkey Cluster.
It has an arc when flying, and can go around the city wall, and glide downwards to land.
Li Longji sat in the car and took a look at the unhappy queen.
He said, "Why don't you take it back? It's three months old. You will feed it yourself and no one else can touch it. You don't even light incense in the palace, so there is nowhere to poison it."
"In a few days, I will sort out the harem." Queen Wang nodded and said with a smile that she would sort out the harem.
"I originally went to Zhuangzi today to ask about war, but I found another good way to make money."
Li Longji ignored the affairs of the harem and talked about the gains from this trip with a smile.
Queen Wang pursed her lips: "In this way, businessmen who want to evade taxes will have to pay taxes for the sake of their children.
I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be more concubines and more people will recognize their relatives. If a student cannot do well in his own family, he can adopt a rich man as his father.
There are also Heli women with sons, or widows with sons, in order to find a way out. "
"Those who take concubines with them are not counted, and those who recognize their relatives within five years are not counted. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "
Li Longji directly gave the conditions. He had decided to use this method and went back to discuss the name with the prime ministers.
He agreed with Li Yi's statement that businessmen provided money to help reduce the burden on the people fighting wars and farming.
Why can't I get additional benefits? As for whether the people understand it or not, they will get used to it over time.
The court has no money, so why not take it from the people who farm your fields? It is impossible to stop fighting a war just because the court has no money.
"Do children from relatives' families count? For some big families, ministers may want to raise this issue."
Queen Wang considered the problem of the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family needed some people to support them.
"It doesn't matter. They can give the money to each other and let the relatives donate it themselves."
Li Longji didn't want the family to develop in an open and honest manner, and no loopholes could be allowed in name.
