    no, 261

    Heavy snow has blocked the mountain, and nearly half of the Taoism has been hidden

    The days of the first year of Zhenguan passed by so fast. It seemed that the whole Tang Dynasty was tense in preparation for the locust plague next year, right?  Farmers have already stored up a year's harvest.  With the government's encouragement of reclamation and the use of the curved-wheel plow, each household's farmland has at least quadrupled. Although there is a slight drought this year, it is still harmless with the use of the barrel wheel.  Since the war in the late Sui Dynasty until now, this year's harvest has surpassed that of the previous two or three years.  .

    What's more important is that in order to allow farmers to have enough food when the locust plague next year, the court specially collected only 10% of the harvest as tax this year. This is an unprecedented situation for farmers, but even so this year  The tax revenue is much higher than during the Wude years, after all, the number of acres of this field is there.

    For scholars, this year is great news. Li Shimin issued a decree, claiming that he would raise academic culture to a height related to the quality of country governance and conduct examinations. In addition to the two subjects of Ming Jing and Jin Shi that originally followed the Sui system,  For example, Mingfa, Mingshu, Mingsuan, Junshi, First History, Three Histories, Boy, Daoju, and Rushi were added.  It can be said that from the original general study of classics, poetry and prose to more emphasis on professional knowledge, as well as talents, gifted children, Taoist people, and teachers who are proficient in history.  Among them, Daoju and Confucianism are the subjects that make people scratch their heads.  This Rushi, Ru is a child, and Teacher is a teacher.  Together, they are children's teachers. This can be said to be a new subject based on Huang Junming's thoughts. Those who pass the exam are only qualified to further study. In the end, they still have to take the exam again after completing the study.  Similarly, this teacher does not require you to know anything, as long as you can write, as long as you have a skill.  However, it is clearly stipulated that one must know how to study things to gain knowledge, or know poetry and songs, arithmetic, history, it can be said that the chances of admission are much more convenient than taking the Jinshi and Mingjing examinations.

    As for Daoju, this is a groundbreaking subject, and Daoju naturally refers to Taoists.  After all, there are only more than 300 Taoists practicing in Tianxian Palace.  In the entire Tang Dynasty, there were tens of thousands of Taoists.  As long as a Taoist priest who has not been awarded a rank can come to take the exam as long as he has a rank or a letter of recommendation issued by the local government.  After the examination, grades are awarded according to different places, with the highest rank being five grades and the lowest being nine grades.  A Taoist official again.  As for those who failed the exam, they were ordered to go to Taoist temples to practice. Anyone who failed the Taoist exam was ordered to go to the Taoist temple to practice.  You must pass the exam within ten years and obtain at least the rank of Taoist official.  Otherwise, the Taoist priest will be permanently deprived of his ultimatum and forced to return to secular life.  Those who obtain the title of Daoist are not secure. Within fifteen years after receiving the title, they must pass the ninth grade or above, otherwise they will never be able to take the exam again.

    As for other subjects, knowing the law means knowing the law, and knowing the book means knowing the writing.  That is to say, it will be used for transcribing or writing articles in the future.  Mingshu means proficiency in arithmetic.  This Junshi exam is considered to be the previous subject of Jinshi. Only those who have passed the Junshi exam can take the Jinshi exam.

    The First History and the Three Histories represent the Historical Records and the Books of the Early and Later Han Dynasties respectively.  The Tongzi Examination precedes the Junshi. Only by passing the Tongzi Examination can one be admitted to the Jinshi.  The comprehensiveness and breadth of this subject really astonished the scholars of the Tang Dynasty, who jumped up and down and speculated about the scope of the examination.

    “But this imperial examination is a big deal, how could the test questions be leaked so easily.  So after a brief period of panic, the scholars immersed themselves in books to prepare for the upcoming exam.

    ??People say that scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, and soldiers have finished talking about scholars and farmers.  Workers, merchants, and soldiers were not idle this year. Craftsmen could still be seen in the early autumn, but in late autumn, except for some apprentices, other blacksmiths and carpenters had already been invited by the yamen.  Needless to say, they all went to manufacture armaments.  Although Li Shimin gave up his plan to counterattack the Turks this year as Huang Junming thought, he still knew how to prepare for a rainy day, so he naturally made preparations in advance.  Merchants since the imperial court slowly relaxed restrictions on trade with Turks.  It’s also a huge profit.  The cattle and horses were owned by the state, but compensation was still given to the merchants as usual.  But sheep, leather and other Turkic things are earned by the merchants themselves.  If nothing else, let’s just say that since merchants traded with Turks.  The price of mutton in the entire Tang Dynasty has been reduced many times, and almost ordinary people would dare to cut half a catty of mutton home for ten and a half months as a sacrifice.  Fortunately, there are only a few sheep raised in Datang, and there is no situation where the sheep are cheap and hurt farmers. Otherwise, these cheap sheep will have a lot of impact on the original sheep raising industry.

    Although the status of the soldier class fluctuates greatly according to social conditions, it is not as fixed as the first five classes.  But in the first year of Zhenguan, no one really dared to underestimate these soldiers. Although the Turks opened shopping malls, there were always small tribes who obeyed the proclamation and disobeyed orders to fight against the autumn wind at the border. In the country, there were even more remnants of warlords occupying the mountains.  For the king, these soldiers are the top leaders in dealing with Turks and bandits. A year has passed, and those Turks who looked so miserable and poor have finally left the border.The large group of bandits have also been wiped out, and the remaining three or two kittens can't make any big waves. Overall, this year can be said to be a year of political harmony and harmony under high-pressure coercion.  Regarding this situation, the ministers in the DPRK and China are quite satisfied.  At least for the first year of the new emperor's reform, no fault is a meritorious service, not to mention the great gains in this year?

    Of course, this year is also a busy year for Huang Junming. Needless to say, the first half of the year goes without saying.  The second half of the year can be said to be quite boring, after Huang Junming thought about it and couldn't figure out how to completely integrate himself into the Tang Dynasty, but failed.  Finally, I made up my mind to devote myself to compiling books. When the books were almost finished, I went down the mountain to "join the world" and experience the world of mortals.

    "Master Immortal, after two years, we have finally finished compiling the first volume of this Dao Zang." Yuan Tiangang said with emotion as he looked at the half-human-high books stacked at his feet.  These books are the first part of the compiled "Tao Zang".  It includes Taoist teachings and various interpretations of Taoist classics. It can be said that it is as coherent as possible, well-founded, detailed and powerful.  Various "Tao" thoughts are revealed in the illusion, and it is mysterious yet easy to understand. It can be said that this part is the new connotation and essence of Taoism.

    Huang Junming was quite excited when he heard Yuan Tiangang's emotion. It was quite difficult to compile a book at this time. It turned out that this Dao Zang was compiled for a full twenty-two years. Later, it was continuously added by successive dynasties to form the real Chinese version.  Dao Zang, and now the first part of Dao Zang has been compiled, and the compilation of mountain arts, medical skills, myths and legends, and scientific rituals is about to be completed.  It can be said that the compilation is more than halfway done. Although it has consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, it is worth it to be able to do this in two years.  "Fellow Daoist Yuan, we haven't been out for two months, right? I heard that there has been heavy snow this year and the mountain roads have been blocked. Come on, let's go out and enjoy some fresh air to relax our muscles and bones."
