425th Caste Cochin

Compared with the passive defense of the Zhu Ming Dynasty in contact with Portugal in the real world, the battle of Tuen Mun or the battle of Xicaowan of Mingpu and Portugal was far less than the defense of Portugal in Western Africa.

In terms of current combat effectiveness, Wei Xia's entrusted empire is obviously stronger.

Defending the country in a mere province can kill Portugal’s eastward road.

The background is here for the time being.

The angle of view narrows and the focus is to return to Wei Dongsheng's fourth life experience.

Wei Dongsheng's fourth generation identity is also his descendant. Compared with the experience of the previous three generations, Wei Dongsheng's identity background continued to decline, and his nominal father was just a prefect of the Jiaozhi Fan Guolong. Wei Dongsheng's father died in 1477 in the name of the fourth life. He was the son of a high-ranking official with a more declining background than the third life.

The third generation is the son of the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, and the family will not worry about the cost of food and clothing no matter how bad the family is; and the son of the prefect of the fourth generation, the cost of food and clothing has begun to be in short supply. Of course, the shortage here is only in the supply of luxury goods. In fact, the fourth generation Wei Dongsheng has more than 300 acres of fertile land, and he is a veritable big landlord. As long as you don't spend a lot of money on studying the dude, these three hundred acres of fertile land are enough to maintain a good standard of living.

More than 300 acres of fertile land, ten tenants, and several domestic servants, this is the gift of the fourth generation Wei Dongsheng from the nominal father or inferior Tomorrow Ring.

However, these properties are all on paper, and Wei Dongsheng has no chance of seeing it for the time being, because he is now studying at Longbian Fu.

Speaking of Longbian Fuxue, it is necessary to introduce the system of recruiting scholars in the Wei Xia Dynasty.

As early as the first life, Wei Dongsheng began to reform the imperial examination system with Chinese characteristics, and carried forward the Guozijian mechanism that existed in the Liu Han Dynasty. During the second life experience, Wei Dongsheng used the power of the Jin Dynasty king to check and fill up the vacancies and improve the Guozijian. The Guozijian gradually became the standard for the Weixia Dynasty and the Twenty Vassal Kingdoms.

Guozijian is divided into Jujian, Gongjian and Yinjian.

Shade prison refers to those who depend on their parents to become a prison student. When the parents reach a certain level of official rank, they are allowed to send one or two sons to study in the Imperial Prison of the State. Those who have not reached the grade of their parents, but have made outstanding contributions or died in national disasters, can also enroll their children in the Imperial College.

The tribute prison is a variant of the inspection system. Certain officials and nobles have a certain number of places for investigation, as if they used filial piety and other operating methods to recommend outstanding talents to the Imperial College.

Jujuan is a variant of the imperial examination system. The country holds an entrance examination similar to the imperial examination at a fixed time and place every year. Those who pass the examination can enter the Imperial College.

Unlike the imperial examination system, Guozijian is more like a real-world university education. Regardless of whether the jurors, the tribute prisons or the shady prisons, they must receive a minimum four-year education in the Guozijian as a student. Only when they successfully pass the graduation examination of the Imperial College and obtain the honor of being a talented scholar, can the students hope that the carp will jump into the dragon gate and become a member of the ruling class.

With the increasing demand for employment in the country, Guozijian has gradually expanded its enrollment. For example, the imperial family with the largest population has split and established three branch schools. At the same time, the competition between supervising students and supervising students is becoming more and more fierce, especially those of lower status, who have stretched the starting line, and worked hard towards the goal of the entrance examination of the State University in their early childhood.

When there is market demand, an industry will be formed. Private educational institutions or training institutions for the entrance examination of the Imperial College are gradually becoming more and more formalized, gradually forming private educational institutions similar to real-world middle schools. As private education became more and more common, the state followed the trend of launching official schools.

Longbianfu School can be simply translated as Longbianfu Middle School. Of course, because Longbianfu was the capital of the Jiaozhi domain, and because there was only one Longbianfu school, the social status of Longbianfu was much better than the so-called Tsinghua High School in the real world.

Wei Dongsheng’s father had served as the prefect of the Longbian Mansion, and he was able to go to the Longbian Mansion and recommend him to study at the Longbian Mansion. As long as Wei Dongsheng didn't make fatal mistakes during his studies, he could almost easily graduate from Longbian Fu and Jiaozhi Guozijian, earning the honor of being a scholar. This is the privileged treatment of the shadow supervisor, the honor of the talents that the supervisors and supervisors yearn for, and the shadow supervisors can get their money.

The reason why Wei Dongsheng was able to keep more than 300 acres of fertile land was also because of his status as a student in the Longbian Mansion and his qualification as a shady supervisor. The social status of the Guozijian Supervisor is more popular than the real-world Chinese college students in the 1980s. Not only are there civil servant positions waiting for graduation, but also civil organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce are also competing to hire outstanding students trained by the Guozijian. Besides, Wei Dongsheng has become familiar with the circle of supervising students, and if he asks for the help of some senior officials and children whose fathers are still in power, he will be able to haunt those evil dogs who are coveting more than 300 acres of fertile land.

Let alone gossip.

Wei Dongsheng arrived at the time when the annual entrance examination for the Imperial College had just ended, and a group of rushers were anxiously waiting for their results. However, Wei Dongsheng and other students who have the qualifications of Shade Supervisor have obtained the admission notice of the State Supervision Supervisory Committee before the entrance examination of the State University Supervision Supervisory Committee, and have obtained the qualifications of the Supervisory Supervisor in advance. After idle, Wei Dongsheng strolled the streets to admire the charm of the Jiaozhi clan.

Wei Dongsheng, the third generation, died in the Jiaozhi domain. At that time, the people of Jiaozhi were dissatisfied, and the jungles and mountains were full of the remnants of the indigenous robbers. All the guard soldiers of the Jiaozhi domain were armed with swords, and if they were slack, they might be assassinated by the indigenous thieves.

Fortunately, time was the best time to eliminate hatred. From 1443 to 1456, and from 1465 to 1483, the situation in Jiaozhi gradually stabilized.

Wei Dongsheng noticed that the Jiaozhi domain had actually introduced a caste system.

Speaking of the caste system, it originated from Wei Anhao, the second emperor of the Wei Xia Dynasty, like the enfeoffment system. At that time, Wei Anhao and his nephew Wei Xiuwen were vying for the throne. The frontline battlefield collapsed thousands of miles, and the Nanyang Islands were also surging. It was extremely dangerous. In order to stabilize the rule of the Wei Xia dynasty in the Nanyang Islands, and to resist the invasion of the monotheistic Juan, Wei Anhao abruptly introduced Brahmanism (Hinduism). Of course, just like the localization of Buddhism in China, Wei Anhao also drastically modified the teachings of Brahmanism based on the needs of national interests.

However, the caste system was deliberately retained by Wei Anhao.

In the Wei Xia version of the caste system, the first type of surname is the sacrificial class, similar to the Brahman of Brahmanism, and they master the interpretation and judgment of the doctrine; the second caste is the class of nobles, similar to the Kshatriya of Brahmanism, and masters the country’s politics, military, and economy. ; The third surname is the three people class represented by agriculture, industry, and business, similar to the Brahman Vaisha, which is the civilian class that supports the kingdom's power.

The people of the sacrificial class and the gentry class are the ruling class of the Shunta Kingdom dominated by the Tang people, and the Sanmin class is also the commoner class or the middle class dominated by the Tang people. The natives of the Nanyang Islands, except for a few tribal chiefs who need to be wooed, are all relegated to the fourth class similar to the Brahman Sudra.

The harshness of the caste system lies in bloodline isolation.

Wei Anhao's improved version of Brahmanism allows limited conversion of the sacrificial class, the gentry class, and the three people class, but the conversion conditions are often very harsh and have no universal significance. On the contrary, blood separation has far-reaching effects. Take the Sanmin class and the Sudra class, which are the largest in number, for example. The daughter of the Sanmin class married the noble class, and the offspring is promoted to the quasi noble class under censorship, which means that he or she can stick to the doctrine for life. , He or she and the descendants of blood will be regarded as members of the noble class; the daughter of the Sanmin class married the Sudra class, and the offspring immediately fell to the Sudra class.

Another example is religious isolation. Wei Anhao refers to the reality of Chinese religion and blends Brahmanism with Buddhism and Taoism. He is only hostile to Juan, the monotheistic religion that poses the highest threat to the Nanyang Islands. The religious segregation policy stipulates that, whether it is the sacrificial class, the gentry class, or the Sanmin class, all those who openly believe in pagan religion and refuse to repent will be demoted to untouchables whose status is even lower than the Sudra class. This kind of bloodline isolation and religious isolation of the caste system not only deliberately compressed the living space of local indigenous people, but also tried its best to prevent the invasion of other religions.

Wei Anhao introduced Brahmanism to implement the caste system, mainly based on considerations such as political interests. Therefore, in the Central Plains provinces where there are no indigenous conflicts, Wei Anhao not only refused to introduce Brahmanism, but deliberately restricted the spread of Brahmanism. Brahmanism also euphemistically stipulates that, except for a few heretics who are not Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, the lowest people in the Central Plains provinces are also the Sanmin class.

The shortcomings and advantages of Brahmanism are very obvious.

Before the death of the third generation of Wei Dongsheng, in addition to the five Nanyang vassal states which were the basic board of Brahmanism, the Yan and Lelang states, which also had indigenous conflicts in their territories, refused to convert to Brahmanism. In the early days when the imperial family set up the Jiaozhi province and entrusted the Jiaozhi vassal state, there was no introduction of Brahmanism in Jiaozhi.

However, during the 18 years that Wei Dongsheng temporarily left, the Jiaozhi domain obviously has undergone major changes.

The book records: In 1467, the third year after the death of the third Wei Dongsheng, the Cochin Kingdom converted to Brahmanism, and the Nanyang Five Vatican States sent a large number of sacrifices to the Jiaozhi Domain to assist the Jiaozhi Domain to establish a caste system related to Brahmanism. .

The caste system is more powerful than Wei Dongsheng imagined.

The rituals of the five vassal states of Nanyang distinguished the aboriginal attributes of Jiaozhi based on the debate between Huayi and Yi. Considering that Jiaozhi was a traditional Chinese territory five hundred years ago, anyone who looks similar to Zhuxia or who considers himself descended from Zhuxia is judged to be the third class of Sanmin; anyone who looks very different from Zhuxia or who is hostile to the descendant of Zhuxia is all Divided into the Sudra class. A simple bloodline screening unexpectedly induced the internal division of the Jiaozhi indigenous people, and the Jiaozhi indigenous people who were identified as the Sanmin class slowly became supporters of the Jiaozhi domain.

After more than ten years of continuous caste screening and religious trials, the rebellion of the Jiaozhi natives has plummeted.

When Wei Dongsheng arrives for the fourth time, the risk of the Cochin indigenous rebellion can be ignored.
