The original markets in the Han Dynasty, or the relevant commercial regulations in the Han Dynasty, were very superficial and simple. Just like Pingyang at the beginning, there was no market around the clock. At first, like many cities in the Han Dynasty, it only opened for two hours a day. Later, it was changed to three, namely Chaoshi, Xishi and Dashi.

The big merchants are basically in the morning market, that is, in the morning. Because transportation is not as convenient as later generations, many bulk transactions hope to start early and not delay a night. So basically, the bigger the merchants are, the more diligent they are, and they are not all asleep and get up before the sun sets.

In Xishi, there are usually ordinary small vendors around the country because they need to go to the surrounding area in the morning to collect supplies and then start selling them in the evening. Most of them do not have fixed stores and can only set up stalls on the street or carry loads to sell along the street.

As for the big market, it is at midday, that is, at noon, farmers or small handicraftsmen around rushed from their homes to cities and towns early in the morning. It was almost noon, and then they sold some vegetables, fruits, melons and melons and some handicrafts produced by them. Then they rushed home before the sun sets, or bought some essential products in the sun...

This was basically the case in the market throughout the Han Dynasty, and it was naturally the case in Pingyang at first.

However, with the convenience of roads and the gathering of vendors, the original time to go to the market was not necessarily enough. The time went on longer and longer, and finally it was even all night long, and it was sold twenty-four hours a day. So a large number of vendors of goods were moved outside the inner city, forming two large markets in the east and west. Because of the living needs of the two large markets in the east and west, many small vendors in the west and west also began to extend their service hours. From the day to late at night, shops and restaurants opened...

Only when there is demand will there be business naturally.

Just like the planned economy in later generations, many state-owned restaurants, hotels and restaurants have only two or three hours of business hours in total. Even if someone wants to eat in the rest of the time, sorry, there is nothing, the fire is not ordered, the dishes are not washed, the rice is not steamed, or the customer is not allowed to wait or let the customer leave. This situation also occurs in some European countries that claim to be advanced. Don’t even think about eating hot when the order is ordered...

Only with demand, requirements, regulations, and rules can business develop stably. Therefore, the commercial regulations implemented by Fei Qianping Pingyang are very complicated and complicated, which makes many vendors not adapt much and often forget some losses. For example, the business scope of vendors was set at the beginning of registration, and vendors were not allowed to change their business scope without authorization.

Sales in grocery stores naturally exceeded the original business scope of the vendors. Therefore, under large-scale inspections, many vendors were arrested. Not only did they have to pay a large fine, but they also had a large number of handwritten copies, reprinted copies, etc., which were collected and then sold to students who needed these books at different prices.

Ma Jun naturally got a set of Mafu and walked carefully to his temporary residence, as if holding a treasure, and was very happy.

On the way, I still saw some inspectors escorting some vendors who violated the rules to the yamen to deal with them. At the same time, there were people advocating on the roadside, telling the laws and regulations, and telling the people.

"Xun Lingjun said something and told the people and merchants..."

Because the notices are basically for the vast majority of ethnic groups, the text is easy to understand, but the content is not simple, because here a noun that was absolutely not available in the Han Dynasty: "pirated version"!

Who would have thought that Fei Qian initially stipulated the business scope of the shops to wait for this moment? I'm afraid that even if someone knows it, he will still fall into the pit. The new business law stipulates that all shops have business scope, and books can naturally be sold by bookstores. Whether it is stores or individuals, those who sell books will be dealt with according to the crime of "pirated copy" and will be punished according to the amount of the sales situation.

Such a fresh noun, naturally, some gentry and poor students gathered together, and there were many discussions. Some bolder ones asked questions directly and loudly, but the officials who promoted the instructions were not confused and did not scold them. Instead, they further explained that those who copied books and gave gifts to each other could not be classified as "pirated" as long as they were not used to obtain benefits.

"How to 'not make profits'?" Another person asked loudly, "If a family asks someone to copy books and pay some remuneration to copy books, would these copy books also make profits? They also have to be punished?"

The official who promoted the notice looked through the details in his hand and replied with a smile: "The key to this crime is to books! Those who copy books copy books and get rewards are not guilty. If you copy books in your home, you will not be guilty. But if you use this to make a profit, you will naturally be guilty! Do you understand this?"

"Oh... there is a little reason for this..."

Just like in later generations, I treasured a few T-dragons at home. As long as it does not spread or spread, the police would not come along the network cable. However, if they make profits and spread out, then the water meter will naturally come...

Mafu and Ma Jun were also discussing this matter while walking towards their residence. Mafu said that this move was very good, "It is to avoid strange goods and be a good government."

Ma Jun frowned his eyebrows, pondered for a long time, suddenly shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's not good governance, but... it's... it's evil governance!"

Ma Fu glared at Ma Jun and said, "What is evil politics?" Then he raised the one in his arms and continued, "If there is no such good deed, how can you and I get this book?" Do you, Ma Jun, don't you know how expensive it was before? If not, can there be affordable books to buy? How can this be said to be evil politics?

Ma Jun stuttered habitually and said stumblingly: "Don't forget the salt and iron...the policy of salt and iron...the cavalry's move is not...but what you want...to seek taxes and profits...but it can be done here, so what is there? So...will you not fishing in a dry pond?"

Ma Fu was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It may not be possible that the price of the bookstore is still good under the cavalry now. If others use this to make a profit... this... the cavalry's move is natural..." Now Pingyang's bookstore is directly under the cavalry general, so naturally we need to pay attention to the interests of the cavalry general. There is no problem with this? Just like the orchard has grown some fruits in its own orchard. The owner of the orchard not only does not think of some ways to stop the thieves, but also said that there are too many thieves and cannot be stopped. Anyway, the fruit trees are lost, and in this way, more people will know that this orchard is good and can have a good publicity effect...

"Farmers eat...eat the land, workers, workers eat, eat their skills..." Ma Jun shook his head and said, "Business, food, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat..."

"The official eats his salary..." said Ma Fu Interview, "I know this, but the problem is that if there is no businessman and no official, how can you and I get the clothes on your body and the books in your hands?"

Ma Jun just shook his head, and he felt that this matter was like Emperor Wu of Han's promotion of the salt and iron franchise back then, which had quite a disadvantage and was not a complete good governance.

In the face of the political and business of salt and iron, there was also a debate. The Sang Hongyang faction, who supported the policy, and the virtuous literary faction, who opposed the policy, started a verbal battle. Until now, when the pros and cons of these policies of Emperor Wu were discussed, the children of the gentry still held their own opinions and argued endlessly, just like at the Salt and Iron Conference at that time.

At the Salt and Iron Conference, Sang Hongyang believed that the official business of salt and iron was equal and both were lost. The wine system was beneficial to the country and the people, increasing the country's income and curbing the expansion of local forces; virtuous literature believed that these policies were competing for profit with the people, and the fundamental way to enrich the country was to strengthen agricultural production.

It should be said that the policies of Emperor Wu were very effective in the short term, accumulating a lot of wealth, thus filling the gap in the treasury, so that the Northern Expedition of the Huns would not die in the middle of the journey. Of course, some of these money were used by Emperor Wu for large-scale construction. The palaces in Shanglinyuan were the best proof. At the same time, many officials often mixed with some selfish desires when implementing them, and thus caused inefficiency or even counterproductive results in some aspects. This is naturally the reason for the opposition of people from the virtuous literary school.

Ma Fu didn't care much about these things. He felt that having books in his arms now was a benefit. As for other aspects, the distance was too far away, not because he considered the problem. Unexpectedly, after he said this, Ma Jun said righteously: "The pros and cons of politics, if you don't say it straight... bluntly, what, what..."

"Okay, okay, you have the final say..." Ma Fu didn't argue with Ma Jun, "You still?"

Ma Jun glared, sighed, stopped talking, walked forward silently, and returned to his residence to study.

Not to mention how Ma Fu and Ma Jun sharpened his guns in front of the residence, I just said that Fei Qian was also a little moved and nervous when facing the prototype of this imperial examination this time.

What is the imperial examination?

Wangwen’s meaning is naturally divided into subject examinations, and then according to the test results, it is only the examination. However, Fei Qian dares not even say the word “Imperial Examination”, and he cannot openly claim that he “only talent is the examination.”

Now the Academy exam is taking the big score exam. Naturally, there is no problem, because even in the Han Dynasty, there were two main subjects: filial piety and honesty and Maocai. Even when we arrived in Luoyang, the court would set up exams to test. Although many of them were formalities, there were precedents after all. Therefore, when Fei Qian made these changes, many people felt that it was just a change in details. It was nothing big. Only a small number of people knew the deeper things in these changes.

Is the system of filial piety and integrity in the Han Dynasty completely bad?

Not necessarily.

You should know that in the Spring and Autumn Period, even earlier, just like the later A San society, everyone was determined in everything they did. The level of identity was not personal ability, but the bloodline of the surname. Those with noble blood were destined to be high-ranking officials when they were born, and those with low bloodlines were still slaves no matter how talented they were. Therefore, at that time, they didn't care about any identity, and even regarded slaves as superiors, only Qin State was the only one who respected slaves as superiors.

The establishment of the Han Dynasty did not mean that at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, all the old nobles in various places were destroyed, and the system of filial piety and integrity completely defeated the talent system that was supreme in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the talent system of filial piety and honest people has a certain degree of advanced nature.

However, the system of filial piety and honesty is the basis for the grouping of gentry families, even the disciples and officials under these gentry families, including the people who are vassals under these gentry families. By celebrating filial piety and honesty, aristocratic families formed mutual bonds and interest groups.

The imperial examinations also broke all the families and group backgrounds, so that in theory, the common people who had no family background and foundation could still stand on the same starting line as the children of the family of officials for many generations to participate in the exam, which greatly enhanced the mobility between the upper and lower classes and thus enhanced the vitality of the entire society.

Similarly, it was precisely because of the imperial examination that the feudal class in China was extremely powerful, even stronger than the feudal groups abroad. It was so powerful that it strongly suppressed the rise of the capital class. Even with the huge commercial and trade society foundation like the Song Dynasty, it still could not enter the capital society like abroad, but continued to be suppressed.

Of course, there are also contributions to the great integration of ethnic minorities...

However, Fei Qian is also improving the disadvantages of the imperial examination. At present, the system of filial piety and integrity has completely restricted the progress of society. Under the nine-rank Zhongzheng system developed by Chen Qun, ordinary people have absolutely no chance to stand out. This is the root of social unrest and a deep-seated factor in the later great integration of ethnic groups.

Because when benefits cannot be obtained through normal means, ambitious people will consider using abnormal means to obtain them. This is human nature, which cannot be avoided no matter what social form it is.

The imperial examination system was formed in the Tang Dynasty in history. After the great ethnic integration, the aristocratic families in various places were further weakened after the turmoil. In addition, Yang Guang was tortured several times. When Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty came to power, these aristocratic families accepted it and endured it...

The biggest difference between the examination system in the Tang Dynasty and the examination system in the Sui Dynasty is that scholars do not have to pass local recommendations, but can vote for self-recommendation. To put it bluntly, as long as you are innocent, have never violated the law, and have not been punished, in theory, all adult men are qualified to take the national civil service examination and do not need to recommend people at all.

Even so, it still makes a difference whether anyone recommends it or not, and it even lasts for a long time. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty would not have left so many people's feelings in history, saying that the poems he had worked hard to write were thrown into those high schools and were taken to the butts by those officials...
