NABC Chapter 574

Chapter 574
Zhu Di took over the charter.
In this regard, Zhu Di showed a cautiousness that others did not have.
He sat upright, looked at it carefully, sometimes lowered his eyebrows, and said after a long time: "Only three things?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, when Liu Bang entered the Guanzhong, there were three chapters. From my point of view, there are many things that need not be lengthy! Many times, just two or three things are enough."
Zhu Di nodded: "The county school was changed to a public school, and more students were admitted. Teachers were recruited from among the local scholars. Talents from various prefectures and counties were recruited by the entrance examination system. Those who have not been effective in public school for two years will not be allowed to participate in the rural examination? "
Immediately, Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi.
Xie Jinren and others were numb when they heard this.
This will not only abolish the county school as a guarantee for scholars, but turn it into a Kaimeng school for people to study, Zhang Anshi has already figured out the source of this teacher, and it is a rural entrance examination.
If a scholar wants to continue the imperial examination, he must first teach for two years. This means that the problem of a large number of cheap teachers is solved.
Zhu Di said again: "All prefectures and counties need to count the number of schoolchildren in their territories. Examinations are conducted every year. The subjects of the examination are mainly simple literacy and arithmetic. This merit test prefectural school officials..."
Passing rate... Merit test...
The people standing here are all good people. Although there are some new concepts in it, they probably know what it means.
So Xie Jin subconsciously said: "His Royal Highness Song, the examination is held every year, and the passing rate is used to determine the official merit examination. Is it too strict?"
Zhang Anshi smiled, and only replied lightly: "Establish a son to grow up."
As soon as this remark came out, the monarch and his subjects were all speechless.
There is no need to waste your tongue when talking to smart people.
The antonym of the so-called "establishing a son to grow up" is "establishing a virtuous person", which is a problem that has plagued the ancients for thousands of years!But in the end, Li Xian was finally confirmed and supported by the vast majority of people. Naturally, it is because Li Xian seems to be more beautiful on the surface, but in the process of practice, everyone discovered that Li Xian is simply a disaster. .
Because the so-called virtuous has no standard at all, and a thing without a standard must have room for manipulation. In the end, this so-called virtuous person has become a tool for people to realize their ambitions above the temple, and even caused chaos in the world. .
Although it is not the best choice to establish a long-term succession, it ensures the stable continuation of the regime, and stability is the most rare and precious thing for a dynasty.
Zhang Anshi's response by establishing a long-term relationship is actually telling Xie Jin that other methods may be very moving, and even theoretically, they are more beautiful, but if there is no unified standard to measure, then in the end, they will only be reduced to waste. Paper becomes nothing more than a dead letter.
Therefore, the statistics of the pass rate is essentially to establish a standard. No matter how various prefectures and counties implement it, no matter how they rack their brains, the only thing the court does is to use a unified yardstick to measure their effectiveness.
And this kind of effect is the exam, which measures the quality of an academic officer based on the pass rate of students who pass literacy and arithmetic in each prefecture and county.
As for how the school officials try their best to recruit better teachers, what kind of teaching they use, how to encourage students to study, and even formulate their own reward methods in order to increase the pass rate, all of the above have nothing to do with the court up.
This means that under the unified standard, there will inevitably be people who show their talents. In order to ensure that more people can enter the school and pass the exam, then in terms of local governance, there must be a lot of resources dedicated to education. tilt.
In fact, Zhang Anshi didn't expect that everyone in the world could be educated for five or even nine or even ten years.To be honest, this is too ambitious. Zhang Anshi's goal is to achieve a certain level of literacy. Ordinary children can be educated for two or three years, can memorize common words, read newspapers, and be able to master simple calculations proficiently. Skills, in fact, are already burning incense.
As for these people, after completing their studies, whether they are farmers or workers, or even get government subsidies because of their excellent grades, and then enter various colleges for further study, Zhang Anshi does not care, because he only believes that large-scale literacy is the most important thing. Quantitative change must lead to qualitative change.
Even if only one out of 100 people becomes a talent, the benefit to the world is immeasurable.
What's more, large-scale literacy means that once these people who can master arithmetic and read and write enter the labor market, the impetus they will bring to the world will be enormous.
The kingdom of heaven has a large population, but the population is not the driving force for social development. Talents are. Without large-scale education, many people are illiterate and muddle-headed. They can only do the simplest labor. If such a low labor efficiency model is broken, the huge population will not only become a blessing, but will become the source of disaster.
But Zhu Di was thoughtful, he obviously realized that this is the lowest cost method, but it can educate the people of the world.
But the problem is that a large number of talents are used...
Zhu Di didn't agree to Zhang Anshi immediately, but frowned deeply, then stared at Zhang Anshi and said: "Use talents to teach the world's schoolchildren, if these talents hold resentment in their hearts, wouldn't it be a bad idea?"
As an emperor, Zhu Di thinks more about the long-term and overall situation.
Zhang Anshi also understands Zhu Di's worries, but he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I don't think so. Of course there will be people who complain, but I think that people's words and deeds will definitely not only be influenced by the teacher who taught them." The influence, on the contrary, is more based on the combination of one's own life experience, one's own situation, and what one has seen and heard growing up! Most of these schoolchildren are in poverty, and their parents have worked hard. "
After a pause, he continued: "Furthermore, after they are able to read and write, they will be able to read newspapers. Taking ten thousand steps back, I think that His Majesty should call the doctors from various colleges to formulate an outline for the initiation, so that Standardize the teaching of state and county public schools across the country, and all of the above can prevent the passing of time.”
It can be said that Zhang Anshi's words hit the point. After Zhu Di heard this, his face softened, and then he said: "This second article is to push the New Deal to all the prefectures and counties in the world... But to implement the world, it will inevitably require a lot of people. Literary officials, how should this be handled properly?"
Zhang Anshi was obviously prepared, and immediately said: "In the past, the imperial court only appointed a few parents and officials, hoping to govern a county, but now in Zhili and other places, the New Deal has actually begun to be implemented, and it is actually going to be implemented all over the world. I think that a part of the backbone will be transferred from Zhili. In addition, there are more than [-] retired soldiers from the model battalion on the side of the military officials. , can read and write, and already proficient in arithmetic, so he is naturally competent..."
Zhang Anshi thought for a while, then suddenly said: "In addition to this, it should be enough to recruit some more."
After hearing this, Zhu Di nodded, then seemed to think of something again, and continued, "How much food do these cost?"
"It's hard to say." Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di's face, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that accounts cannot be calculated in this way, and expenditures belong to expenditures, but the benefits after implementing the New Deal are immeasurable. Please ask the Ministry of Households , roughly converted to a number, I am optimistic about this."
Zhu Di expressed his approval, bowed his head and glanced at the regulations again, and said, "The third article, the Dan people are allowed to go ashore, the land is distributed, and they are allowed to fish in the sea. This...is easy..."
Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "There are so many Danmin in the world. Although the contributors this time are only a branch of the Danmin, the most miserable people in the world are the Danmin. The imperial court is sympathetic to the Danmin and took the lead in improving their situation. Believe it or not, after all, it will take time for the new policies to be carried out in the world, if the people in the world can see that the situation of Dan people can be greatly improved, it will be a reassurance."
After thinking for a while, he said again: "Besides, I think that the land in the world is limited after all. With unlimited manpower, if they are not allowed to leave their hometowns, how can these barren lands support the world? The common people, these restrictions on the people established by Emperor Taizu Gao...whether..."
"Cough cough..." Zhu Di coughed, reminding Zhang Anshi to keep silent, while sweeping Xie Jin's eyes away.
Xie Jin immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty... During the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, there was indeed a decree that the people were not allowed to leave their hometown without permission, but... If you remember correctly, this edict was promulgated and implemented in the seventh year of Hongwu. In the 15th year, there was a catastrophe in Jingchu, and Emperor Taizu Gao had another decree, allowing the local people to travel far away to avoid disasters. From this we can see that Emperor Taizu Gao's laws are flexible and changeable, and what a hero Taizu Emperor is My lord, I have established my great Ming foundation, and my achievements will last forever. Therefore, I think that your majesty should also follow the example of Emperor Taizu Gao..."
Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well, I have always been grateful for Emperor Taizu Gao. Today Xie Qing mentioned that who in this world can be more knowledgeable than Xie Qing? Then Xie Qing will talk about it. I want to emulate Taizu Gao. What's the matter with the emperor?"
Xie Jin said solemnly: "Emperor Taizu Gao was flexible and changeable in his administration. He said that he should not leave his hometown without permission, but he also said that he should follow the power in a hurry. This shows that Taizu's ancestral system lays emphasis on flexibility, not Sticking to a single edict, but thinking about the common people, making improvements at any time, not just like the stupid kings of the past dynasties, just for the so-called "words follow the law", stubborn and unresponsive, regardless of the livelihood of the people, Your Majesty Following the ambitions of Emperor Taizu Gao, we should also follow the words and deeds of Emperor Taizu Gao, not sticking to one pattern, so that we will not lose respect for the ancestors of heaven and law, and set up a life for the people below."
Zhu Di listened, nodded again and again, looked at Xie Jin appreciatively and said: "Xie Qing's words have enlightened me, yes, yes, yes, what I have taken is the essence of the ancestor's law, and only by being flexible and changeable can I deal with it." In today's chaotic world, Xie Qing has a deep understanding of the past and the present, and understands the righteousness, so, this time... the edict promulgating the new policy for the world, Xie Qing will draft and polish it."
Xie Jin said: "I obey the order."
Only then did Zhu Di let out a long breath, and it seemed that because he had solved one matter, his complexion had improved a lot.
At this time, he looked at Xie Jin and said, "Xie Qing's children are still in Java?"
"Yes."
Zhu Di said: "Go back to Jishui's hometown. They have been wandering away for a long time, and it's time to go home."
This was a bit sudden, but it seemed reasonable.
Xie Jin thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I... also follow the example of Emperor Taizu Gao, and take the essence of his flexibility. Now that the world has been updated, how can I go against the trend? I think that there is nothing wrong with Java. , the son of the minister, staying in Java, can not only assist Zhao Wang, but also serve as the screen of the Ming Dynasty, why not?"
What he said made Zhu Di respectful.
Zhu Di always thought that Xie Jin wanted his family to return to his hometown, but unexpectedly...
Hu Guang was even more excited by Xie Jin's words, and for a while he had the urge to pack his children and send them out to sea.
Only Zhang Anshi was expressionless. He knew better than others that Xie Jin had made a miserable mess for his fellow Jishui villagers. I'm afraid that Xie's family will not resist the beating!
But Zhu Di, who obviously didn't understand the reason, said with emotion at this moment: "Xie Qing is a loyal minister."
After some emotion, finally, his eyes fell on Xia Xuan who entered the palace with Zhang Anshi.
Seeing that Xia Xuan was young, he was in a pretty good mood at the moment, and he was a little curious for a while, so he immediately asked, "Who is this?"
Zhang Anshidao: "It's the postman who went to Beijing to report this time, and he has made a lot of contributions to Fujian's chief envoy this time."
Zhu Di saw that the postman in front of him was quite extraordinary, so he became interested and asked about the details of the counter-insurgency.
Xia Xuan was also bold, and Dang even said it vividly.
Hearing the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhu Di laughed heartily and said, "The Emperor of the Song Dynasty...haha...these thieves dare to bathe in the monkey and crown themselves."
On the contrary, when Zhang Anshi heard Song Emperor's words, his body tensed up, and he felt a little nervous.
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi with feeling, and said, "Zhang Qing, I canonized you as the King of Song, but here is the Great Song Emperor, and they are still brothers-in-law with you."
Zhang Anshi only felt very blocked, he gritted his teeth and said: "These thieves must do this on purpose because they hate the minister! These thieves really have ulterior motives and are extremely cunning, I wish I could eat their flesh raw."
Zhu Di stroked his beard, and unexpectedly said: "Well, I will satisfy you. When these rebels are escorted to Beijing, I will give them to Zhang Qing, and Zhang Qing will eat their flesh to relieve his hatred."
"Ah... this..." Zhang Anshi was a little confused, his face froze and he said: "Forget it, forget it, I was just joking."
Zhu Di smiled and nodded him, "You, you..."
"This... this..."
But at this time, Xia Xuan said: "Your Majesty, I think that His Royal Highness King Song... is really loyal..."
Zhu Di became interested and asked Xia Xuan, "Why?"
Xia Xuan said solemnly: "Emperor Taizu Gao talked about being flexible and changeable. Your Majesty is a filial son, and he is also flexible and changeable. His Highness King Song is a loyal minister, and he also follows His Majesty's steps all the time. Even these are imitated. Isn’t it utterly loyal?”
For a while, the sky was chattered to death.
The hall was surprisingly quiet, no one spoke.
On Xia Xuan's face, he still had a serious look on his face, making it difficult for people to tell whether this guy was really stupid, or whether he was speaking sarcasm.
Zhu Di was silent for a moment before he said, "What's your name?"
Xia Xuan said: "Humble Xia Xuan."
As soon as the word Xia Xuan came out, it attracted the attention of Xie Jin and others.
When Xia Yuanji was in the Jianwen Dynasty and the early years of Yongle, Xie Jin, Yang Rong, Hu Guang, Jin Youzi, etc., because they were juniors, they were often taken care of by Xia Yuanji, especially Hu Guang and Yang Rong. It is not an exaggeration to have a good family.
They had actually seen this Xia Xuan before, but at that time, Xia Xuan was still young, and this time Xia Xuan went to Fujian Chief Envoy, and his appearance had changed a lot due to the sun and rain. , even if he only felt vaguely familiar, he would never have thought that the person standing in front of the emperor was the son of an old friend.
But now he calls himself Xia Xuan, and now he looks at his facial features carefully, and suddenly, he seems to understand something.
Hu Guang was the first to say without restraint: "Your Majesty, this son...is the son of Duke Xia."
"Which Lord Xia..." Seeing Hu Guang's surprised reaction, Zhu Di was full of suspicion.
Hu Guang immediately said: "Prince Taibao..."
When these four simple and clear words came out, Zhu Di suddenly realized, and then subconsciously looked at Xia Xuan and said, "Since you are Xia Qing's son, why do you want to be a postman?"
Xia Xuan said very calmly: "My father is stubborn, he quarreled with him in a humble way, and left home in anger. He also heard that there was something to be done in the post office, so he left in a daze."
But obviously, his answer made the monarchs and ministers laugh.
Zhu Di didn't make fun of it, but smiled and said: "You are honest, better than your father."
Xia Xuan said neither humble nor overbearing: "Being humble does not mean being honest, it is just not daring to hide it."
Zhu Di nodded, with admiration in his eyes, he said: "You and the righteous soldiers have contributed to countering the rebellion, and I will order the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War to recount your achievements..."
After all, Zhu Di took a look at the dusty Xia Xuan, who was wearing an ordinary postman's Tsing Yi, but it was a little worn out from the hard work on the pommel horse.
Immediately, Zhu Di said: "It's also lost."
Yi Shiha at the side immediately said: "The servant is here."
"Give him a flying fish suit first. How can such a hero teach him to be so shabby? People in the world will make fun of him."
Yi Shiha smiled, but he already understood what Zhu Di meant.
In fact, Xie Jin and others have already understood this meaning.
Theoretically speaking, the imperial court does not have official uniforms, or, generally, officials who have been awarded official positions buy official uniforms by themselves.
However, there is one case, which is exceptional and special, but the palace often bestows clothes on close ministers or those who have made meritorious service. There are strict distinctions between the bestowal of clothes. Kirin clothing and fish clothing, tiger clothing, leopard clothing and so on.
