Chapter 288 (1/2)

Walking along the uneven loess road in Lantian County, there are houses made of adobe on both sides. The roof of the house is made of rafters, or covered with thatch. If the family conditions are better, they will be covered with green tiles.

There are not many people who can build houses with green bricks and tiles in nuota County, but occasionally we can see rich families with green bricks and tiles.

But most of them are still adobe walls, or the foundation is built with green bricks to build a one meter high wall, and then the adobe is made on it. The green and yellow color is also very beautiful.

Every family, like a person, looks at their faces very seriously. The gatehouses are basically made of green bricks, and the painted doors also look solemn and solemn.

Now these walls are brushed by Li Hong with lime slurry. The neat white walls more than one meter high look like a new socialist countryside.

There are also many fences and yards. If one side of the neighbor's wall is used and the other side is just a road, a row of fences will be built to enclose the yard. The fence is covered with withered plants, or it can only look better in summer.

People who use fences to make yards are not those who are poor or lazy. On the contrary, the general form of houses, whether in Lantian or Gaoling and other Zhou counties, is still quite respected by the owners, because most of such yards are the homes of scholars and scholars.

In general, the poor and the poor learned from some scholars and scholars in the workshop. After getting married, they pushed the adobe wall and tied it up with a fence.

As for whether this is conducive to their official career, whether it can bring them good luck in the scientific examination, no one knows.

There are so many students in Chongwen hall. Li Hong once asked them why they want to be so? In return, the answer is indeed: ”this is the character of the literati, never agree with the rich businessmen.”

Li Hong was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. What's more, if he is poor, it means that you are a cultural person and you can be respected by the neighbors. Let's wear bark and live in a cave together.

But he also knew that it was not anyone's fault that the style of writing was flourishing and the martial arts were poor. To say something wrong, it should be the fault of the whole Tang Dynasty.

In a peaceful and prosperous age, people in the solution of food and clothing, without the guidance of the court's public opinion, artful and elegant, writing and writing will naturally slowly form a climate.

At this time, the literati who had read thousands of books but had no strength to bind a chicken were naturally contemptuous of the illiterate people who did not know big characters but kept their families and homes clean.

It's natural that they are not ashamed to do a little bit of business like a merchant every day. However, if you have the strength to tie a chicken, you can't go to the field to work.

Some of them need the knowledge of literati to write a post for the ”illiterate” during the marriage and funeral, or let the people strictly follow the marriage customs and funeral system.

And this has become a condition of admiration for them. Coupled with the daily feathered fan and silk kerchief, as well as the imperial court's strategy of emphasizing agriculture and restraining commerce, it is difficult for scholars to be respected.

If there is any ”difficult and complicated disease” in every family, the first thing they think of is to find scholars to give them advice, and let them give advice for themselves. As long as they follow and implement it.

In this way, the social status of the literati is naturally much higher than that of other industries. Moreover, the court relies on their talents and learning, and it is difficult to be lofty.

However, it is difficult for those who can become officials and benefit one side to stand out among the poor scholars. Most people still have to rely on the nine grade system and the recommendation of five surnames and seven families to make their official career a success.

It took 50 or 60 years for the Tang Dynasty to create the imperial examination in the former Sui Dynasty to the first year of Xianheng. Even with the suppression of his majesty today, the five powerful families are still the biggest source of human resources for the imperial court.

The establishment of the imperial examination system, in the 50 or 60 years, has been difficult and difficult. The poor people's vision and height are not enough. Even if they are officials in the dynasty, it is difficult to make any outstanding achievements.

In addition, they like to imitate and praise the idea of five surnames and seven families in their hearts. In fact, the imperial examinations in recent years are mostly from five surnames and seven families.
