"Ten years of cold window no one asks, in one fell swoop to become famous in the world knows" this sentence is to say the ancient examination system, since the establishment of the examination system, the status of readers has risen, ancient head overhanging beams, cone thorns of the allusion, there are also chiseled walls to steal the reputation of reading, but these people after entering the dprk as officials, most of them have gone astray.
And the Qing Dynasty Wu Jingzi's "Ru Lin Wai Shi" is a satire of this kind of fame and fortune, of which "Fan Jin Zhongju" in the irony is more profound, the opening paragraph writes, Fan Jin went home to see his father-in-law Hu Butcher, the father-in-law said unceremoniously: I am unlucky, marry a daughter to your current treasure, over the years, I don't know how much tired I am.
But since hearing about Fan Jinzhongju, Hu Butcher has changed his previous attitude: I often say that this virtuous son-in-law of mine is highly educated and of good character, that is, the old masters of the Zhang Mansion and the Zhou Mansion in the city do not have such a decent appearance as my son-in-law. After some compliments, he lowered his head and pulled dozens of wrinkled clothes for him.
It is reasonable to say that the highest people in the ancient imperial examination were Zhuangyuan, Bangyan, tanhua, in the jinshi, gongshi, juren, Xiucai, Fan Jin only passed the exam to lift people, why can he be happy to go crazy, in fact, Wu Jingzi has written a lot of benefits in the text, the most important person is Zhang Xiangsheng.
Zhang Xiangsheng, wearing a gauze hat, wearing a sunflower round neck, gold belt, soap-colored boots, he was also born to lift people, as a Zhixian, as soon as he came in, he pulled Fan Jin to say that he had always admired him, and when he talked about it, he became a brother without blood, Zhang Xiangsheng generously sent him 50 taels of silver as a gift, and gave him an empty house.
The next day, Zhang Xiangsheng urged him to move again, invited him a large group of servants, feasted on a feast, and sang and danced for three consecutive days, and this squire sent money, houses, fields, and slaves, which seemed to be a broken fee, but in fact he himself understood the benefits of being a lifter.
Lifting people are collectively called lifting sons, lifting people to ascend to the branch can be awarded officials, but there is no "birth", can be exempted from ding military service, from the beginning of the Jin Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties have followed this system, all those who have won the lifting of people, is equivalent to half a foot into the career path, even if the lifters do not pass the examination, they can still be officials.
Zhang Xiangsheng was born as an "official body", served as a Zhi County, and after retirement, he became a kind of squire who resembled an official and not an official, but Fan Jin was different, he was a nailed Zhi County in the future, before he was awarded an official, Fan Jin could also be exempted from taxes, and some people could transfer their own assets to the people to avoid taxes.
Lifting people can also get a lot of benefits from it, both sides create a "win-win situation", and the lifting of people to see the county official can not kneel, even if the person violates any law, the county official can not be arbitrarily executed, need a series of complicated procedures, in short, the lifting of people everywhere is higher than the small people.
After the Ming to Qing examinations, they were called "fa xie", "developed", and referred to as "fa". Customarily referred to as "old master", it is now a provincial cadre.
Why did Fan Jinzhong suddenly go crazy after lifting? Calculate the benefits of his victory and you will understand
