Jin Fan has just won an award. Why do many people send money, meals, houses and so on?

Fan Jin's reunion in The Scholars is a wonderful satirical novel, but his hilarious words reveal the sad world and gloomy social atmosphere. We watch TV plays and movies with various historical themes. If you take the imperial examination, you have to be a scholar to be an official in the court. Why can he be buttered up by all kinds of people when he wins a promotion?

In the ancient imperial examination, Jinshi was directly appointed by the state and was a 100% official, not to mention the top three. It's hard to be an official. Either go home to review for three years and then go to the examination room to work hard, or stay at home honestly, and then wait until there is a shortage of cadres in a certain part of the court before you have a chance to be selected as a "vacancy." Think about it, there are so many juren in the country, compared with the official position of the court, it must be that there are more wolves than meat. When can it be your turn? However, a special right of juren is often ignored. What's really amazing is that juren can exempt dozens of people from taxes and corvee. There's a lot to do here.

If you are an ancient farmer, you should pay three-tenths of the annual harvest to the court. In winter, you may be sent to repair rivers and walls at any time without farming. It's easy to have a juren around you now. You hang yourself in the name of the master of Juren and become his nominal domestic slave, so that you don't have to pay taxes every year and build rivers in winter. As long as you pay the first half of the tax to Master Juren, the deal will be concluded. Do you think you will do it or not? Other landlords, squires and the like have to pay a lot of taxes for their 100 acres of fertile land every year. Now, they have a good relationship with Master Juren and go directly to make money. In the future, these oil fields will be nominally owned by Juren and will no longer need to pay taxes. Using this privilege, Juren can be completely divorced from agricultural production, and a group of people can support themselves. This is a real economic benefit!

In addition, it is not just arbitrary for Guxian Ye to hold a court session. According to the rules, the county juren should be invited to participate, which is equivalent to a modern jury. These juren have great right to suggest and intervene in the case, and the general county master will give them a little meager consideration. In this way, juren has stepped into the ruling class with one foot. And as mentioned above, if you really let a juren fill the vacancy and become an official, it will be too late to make friends in the future. It is better to kiss up early, which will be useful later.

Therefore, Fan was fawned on by all kinds of people. End of the story: From then on, many people came to flatter him: some sent farmland; Someone sent a shop; Some have settled down, and the couple are devoted to servants and seek asylum. In two or three months, Jin Fan had servants and maids, not to mention money and rice. Xiangshen Zhang's family urged to move again. Moving to a new home, singing opera, setting wine and treating guests for three days.
