    *** Daqin Palace, Jianjia Palace.  ¡÷ The spring curtain is half lifted, flying catkins stick to the painting corners, the east wind blows the bead curtain, and the curling beast smoke disperses.  The beauty is like jade, the palace attire is like clouds, the eyes are looking forward to it, and the jade fingers are delicately brushing a section of clouds in Wushan.  Liu Rushi was already round and beautiful, and she liked to discuss knowledge. Qin Mu asked about the impact of the imperial examination system on the economy. These were her favorite topics, so her whole body was in high spirits, blending with the spring scenery outside the curtain.  More and more touching.  "Your Majesty, if I think about it carefully, I will find that the imperial examination system and the economy actually influence each other. I remember that Your Majesty said that the economic base determines the superstructure. Now that I think about it, this sentence is very reasonable. Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties,  The socio-economic foundation was weak, and ordinary people could not afford to study. Those who could afford to study were basically people from aristocratic families. Even if the imperial examination system was established at that time, only people from aristocratic families were eligible to participate. In fact,  It was difficult to break the original situation of aristocratic families dominating official positions. By the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the social economy had made great progress, people's livelihood was prosperous, and more people could read. At this time, the significance of establishing the science and technology system could be realized.  This is what His Majesty said: the economic base determines the superstructure. In turn, the superstructure affects economic development. This is inevitable. The imperial examination system is undoubtedly a superstructure. After this system is established, studying, taking exams, and becoming an official will be combined.  Integration into one, open and equal opportunities to almost everyone, this encourages a large number of people to actively enter academies or private schools to study, promotes the development of educational institutions, and then drives the development of libraries, printing, paper making, ink making, and pen making  The booming development of other industries. In some places, the production of pens in the entire county was enough to make people's livelihood rich. Another example is the Hangzhou area in the Song Dynasty, where there were thousands of printing workshops, with more than 100,000 employees in many cases.  For the time being, these are only direct impacts. There are many indirect impacts. For example, many people are providing services to the college, students, libraries, printing, paper making, ink making, pen making and other industries. The college must develop.  A lot of work is done, and students go on study tours in order to increase their knowledge, which drives the movement of a lot of people and promotes the development of restaurants, inns and other industries. Especially in the capital, tens of thousands of scholars flock in during the year of the Ministry of Rites Examination.  In the capital, these people come with more or less entourage, and these people have to spend three meals a day. There are often not enough restaurants and inns in the capital, private courtyards are rented, and even temples rent out meditation rooms.  Later, the impact of the three-year imperial examination on consumption and the economy was very amazing. The imperial examination system even promoted the development of foreign trade to a great extent. People from neighboring countries and even Western countries,  Traveling thousands of miles to study, the exchange of personnel, the exchange of knowledge, and the transportation, transportation and commodity sales that occurred during the visits between countries, such as between the past dynasties and North Korea.  In the trade of Japan and other countries, a very important commodity is classic books, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, etc. The trade volume is very large, and the supply is likely to exceed demand" Liu Rushi said in one breath  There are many, and they are well-spoken. There is no doubt that the imperial examination has been so popular and its impact on the social economy is also very huge.  Of course, this influence has both good and bad sides.  The imperial examination system was beneficial to maintaining the stability and development of the small-scale peasant economy. This system clarified the social hierarchy of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce to a large extent.  The main content of the examination is Confucian classics, which means that all scholars can only study these Confucian classics. This is equivalent to unifying and imprisoning thoughts in disguise.  In order to be named on the gold medal list, most scholars are obsessed with Confucian classics and actively refuse to study the natural sciences that directly promote the development of productivity.  This has resulted in a simplification of the knowledge structure of the entire society, with very few professional, technical and practical talents.  In a word, the establishment of the imperial examination system is equivalent to the infinite improvement of the status of Confucian classics. In addition, almost all other subjects are dismissed as "exquisite and obscene skills."  Moreover, the imperial examination system continued to strengthen the concept of "scholars, farmers, industry and commerce", and industry and commerce were regarded as the lowest level, resulting in commercial development being restricted and discriminated against. Not only did scholars look down on businessmen, but even the businessmen themselves felt that they were inferior; After most businessmen got rich, they were not  Instead of thinking about how to expand the scale of production, he worked hard to change his identity, purchase land, and change from a businessman to a farmer, because only after becoming a farmer could he have the opportunity to become a scholar.  Therefore, the imperial examination system has a huge inhibitory effect on the development of industry and commerce.  This system can only promote the stability and development of the small-scale peasant economy, and is a tight shackle to the capital economy and industrial revolution that Qin Mu wants to promote.  Before?Qin Mu built a polytechnic, built various scientific research institutions, established the Royal Science Prize, and added courses in physics, chemistry, geometry, mathematics, etc., all in an attempt to reverse the serious distortions in values, knowledge systems, etc. caused by "exclusively respecting Confucianism."  But if you think about it carefully, if you don¡¯t change the ideological distortion of the entire society caused by the imperial examination, all previous efforts may only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.  There are still only a few people who are sincerely willing to learn other scientific knowledge. The majority of scholars are still addicted to old papers, memorizing Confucian classics day after day, and all their youth and energy are spent on Confucian classics.  Society as a whole will still use "Gold List Titles" to measure a person's success and failure, as well as his value and status.  Most young men who could possibly learn to read would still mortgage all their success or failure in life on the imperial examination.  Reforming the imperial examination system is the fundamental solution to the problems of slow development of natural sciences and distorted social values.  However, the imperial examination system has developed step by step from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to today, and has formed a huge influence, and even an overall social psychological inertia.  How easy is it to reform?  Qin Mu drank the fragrant tea served by Liu Rushi and thought carefully. Liu Rushi had said a lot before. She thought it made sense, but she did not see the emperor's expression of joy because of this; she was smart enough to realize it immediately.  , the emperor asked her this question, it was definitely not simple. She was sensitively aware that there was likely to be another institutional change that would affect everyone and the entire society was brewing in the emperor's mind Qin Mu  Thinking about something, he held a pen in his hand and casually dipped it in ink. Liu Rushi thought he had thought of something, so he quickly went up to spread out the paper and pressed the edges with a white jade paperweight.  Qin Mu didn't wait for her to finish pressing the edge of the paper, and scribbled a few lines: "Ten years will be spent as a god, and half a year will be gone without any sound."  His hair on his temples is like snow and his heart is as dead as if he were a descendant of Chang'an.  After finishing the poem, he wrote most of it on a piece of white paper. Qin Mu didn't care about it, didn't even touch the ink, and casually wrote it down in smaller and more scrawled fonts: "When I fall, I cry when I meet others," Life ambitions  What is the desire for business?  A branch of osmanthus is sprinkled on the temples, and a thousand-mile book is written with tears and blood.  After finishing writing, Qin Mu threw the pen into the lotus carp inkstone. The red ink in the inkstone splashed out and sprinkled bit by bit on the lines of the poem, like the fresh blood and tears of a fallen person, scarlet and dazzling.  Qin Mu felt a little tired. He leaned on the royal chair with his eyes closed and gently rubbed his temples.  Liu Rushi felt a little uneasy, and quickly went up to help him massage his temples, "Your Majesty, you" She hesitated, Qin Mu had failed in three attempts, and Liu Rushi thought he was remembering these old things.  Old things.  The pressure he endured in his heart at that time may be exactly the same as those written in these two poems.  Qin Mu leaned his head in her arms. Her breasts were soft, gentle and comfortable. Qin Mu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then asked casually: "In this case, what do you think about the person who wrote these two poems?"  "Is this a normal mentality?" "This is basically the case for a defeated person" "That's basically the case? Haha, you are right, but is this mentality really normal?  Is it normal to have a lifelong ambition? Is it difficult to reflect the value of life in other things except the imperial examination? Is it possible to die if you can¡¯t win the gold medal? Does this society only need officials?  , Do you only need politicians? This is a severely distorted social mentality! ¡± *************** ps: I personally believe that if we want society to develop in the right direction,  Going forward, the most important thing is not military expansion, but a change in thinking. To change the thinking of the entire society, the fundamental solution should be to change the constraints of the imperial examination system. However, this is difficult. As I write this, I feel like I am walking on thin ice.  Write very slowly.  Originally there was a saved manuscript to ensure that the update time is normal, but now, one saved manuscript has been used up. I will try my best to ensure that there are still two updates, but the update time tomorrow may be uncertain. I would like to say this first. In the meantime, face to face.  For such a big proposition that even a professional scholar needs to face with caution, I need to kill a lot of brain cells to write it down. I hope you can give me more encouragement, monthly tickets, subscriptions, rewards, I am grateful for every support you have, this is  It is also my biggest motivation, thank you all.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
