Chapter 1915: Holding a group
These officials who were originally selected by the eight-legged essays were highly regarded by them, but they had an opposition to the new policy from the bottom of their hearts. They looked down on these newly promoted young officials, so these newly promoted officials could not help but rolled their eyes countless times, as if they were rejected.
But once this person was rejected, he would inevitably have to join forces. The newly promoted political leaders naturally came together, and gradually the relationship became very good. Zhang Hongmin used to not deal with them, but now he is familiar with them.
When everyone gets together, it’s natural that you have to talk a few words.
"These old antiques are self-contained by eight-legged essays and think they are amazing and have a higher eye than their top. However, they do not know that the Chief Secretary and Prince Wang also highly recommend the law and business school."
"What are they so arrogant? They are officials, aren't we also officials? What do they do? "
"They said we were lackeys in the New Deal, that's jealous."
Among the scholars, these people were ridiculed, especially those great scholars and famous scholars, who were deeply hostile to these newly promoted Jinshi and Juren.
That's right, for people like Zhang Hongmin, they are beneficiaries of the New Deal. Although many of them were actually opposed to the New Deal at the beginning. But no one could deny that it was because of the New Deal that they had the current official status.
Because of this, in Shilin, they became rats crossing the street.
After all, they can become officials and they take the exam, but business. What is business? Isn’t it just a low-level study?
Almost everyone can feel this kind of scolding.
At the beginning, everyone felt a little ashamed. Yes, everyone is a disciple of saints, but now they have taken the exam for a new Juren and Jinshi. They are scolded and feel ashamed.
But after a long time, some people couldn't help but think of retorting.
Why are we inferior to others? Not all officials. What are you? You oppose the new policy, this or that every day, it is just your jealousy. What is the best way to take the eight-legged essay exam? Isn’t it just someone who knows it? It’s useless to be a scholar, and you are talking about it.
In fact, a person's mentality has begun to change without realizing it.
They obtained their official positions through the new policy, and naturally, in a difficult situation, began to resist the original anti-New Policy people. In their hearts, these people were useless except for showing off.
Even Zhang Hongmin was the same. In the past, he and his friends happily mocked merchants and joked about the new policy, but now he began to have different ideas.
After gradually deepening his understanding, he found that there is nothing wrong with business studies and nothing wrong with law studies. Those who oppose the New Deal seem to oppose it just for the sake of opposing it. This behavior is simply absurd. Is it because I studied business studies, I am not a disciple of a saint? Haha... I also need the Four Books and Five Classics to take the exam for scholars.
This kind of conflict and contradiction gradually began to become more intense.
Scholars who opposed the new policy began to find that they had fewer and fewer partners. Some, like Zhang Hongmin, passed the imperial examination, naturally said that they were different and did not work together. But some people were silent because they also participated in the new imperial examination system. Even if they did not pass the exam, if they came out and scolded, they were revealed to have participated in the exam. Wouldn’t they be laughed at?
There were more than 200,000 people participating in the exam. After all, these really strong people are a minority. The more than 30,000 Jinshi and Juren in high school were chased and scolded by these people at first. When they realized that they were now an official, what are you people? Why should I be scolded by you? So suddenly, these people began to fight back.
Even like Zhang Hongmin, who was ashamed at the time, he began to advocate a new policy while observing the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue.
On the one hand, it is because he is very clear that he is the beneficiary of the new policy. If the new policy is over and the old system is restored, wouldn’t his official status be even more a joke? What he has learned is also a joke? What he has any future? He finally realized that as long as the new policy is still being implemented, he can be considered a real official and have a future.
On the other hand, because of months of hard study, he learned some economics from business studies, and these knowledge has been buried in his heart. Although sometimes he is unwilling to admit it, in fact, he has indeed improved his views on business studies.
If he does not fight back, then the business he has learned will become a shame for his life. If the new policy cannot be implemented, everything he has obtained now will be nothing.
Therefore, in the exclusion, a large number of Juren and Jinshi had already begun to join forces. They began to build and research theories and began to enrich the new policy. In some newspapers, many Juren and Jinshi had begun to write articles, laughing at the scholars who opposed the new policy as corrupt scholars who were ignorant of the world.
There are so many people and great powers.
In the past, it was entirely up to the cabinet and the palace, and few scholars dared to jump out and support the new policy.
But now, these more than 30,000 people have obviously become firm supporters of the New Deal. They are like crazy, debated and scolded all kinds of opponents, laughing and scolding.
The most important thing is that the atmosphere of various ministries, Hanlin Academy, and Censorate has begun to change quietly. Although they have low positions and low positions, they have a large number of people. If someone in the ministries disobeys the new policy, they will expose it without hesitation, and some even go against Shangguan directly.
Because they know that the cabinet will support them without hesitation.
At the same time, the imperial court promulgated the imperial examination three years later. At this time, we saw many people benefiting from this reform. Many scholars who had previously insisted on not taking any more scientific examinations gradually calmed down, and many people even rekindled hope for the scientific examinations.
And since the scholar who did not take the pilot this time has begun his first time, how can he give up another opportunity three years later?
So, a large number of scholars began to purchase books and prepare for the imperial examination three years later.
Books in business and law are almost out of stock as soon as they appear, and the test papers for the exam are also printed frantically, and many people are waiting for the next opportunity.
