"No need to mention it again! I have decided on this matter!"

Zhu Ciwei said, and ordered: "You first mention my proposed Jun Order. From next year, the whole province of Japan will start to hold provincial examinations. All prefectures and counties that have just been designated this year must complete the prefecture and county examination tasks. In the prefecture and county examination, the selected talents cannot only choose the former shogunate banner and the Imperial family members who belong to the aristocratic class! If I know who has not done this, I will be dismissed from office and exiled!"

Zhu Ciwei also ordered this.

Liu Zongtian could only give in, but he didn't care. After all, he had become the aide to the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Ciwei, so he didn't have to worry about his future. He was just worried for the eldest son, worried that his direct copy of the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty to Japan would make the Japanese nobles unwilling to be.

If Zhu Ciwei had not appointed Nagasaki and Ekima, two scholars who had been ruled by the Ming Dynasty for a long time and a group of scholars transferred from the country, he would not have dared to directly establish the imperial examination system in Japan.

But now the chief officials of all prefectures and counties are all scholars who are accustomed to various systems of the Ming Dynasty. It is not difficult for Zhu Ciwei to implement the imperial examination system.

Before, the shogunate and daimyos from all over the country had vigorously promoted Chinese and Confucian education in order to please the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, there were also Japanese scholars who could take the imperial examination, and there were not many.

Of course, there is also a basis for implementing the imperial examination system in Japan.

The reason why the shogunate and daimyos in various places did not implement the imperial examination system was naturally to protect the interests of the aristocratic class.

Now, when Zhu Ciwei wanted to establish the imperial examination system and issued the Jun order to all prefectures and counties, and explicitly ordered local governments not to restrict the origin of references, it naturally caused great dissatisfaction among the Japanese aristocratic class.

They were originally disappointed because Zhu Ciwei didn't use them much, and now they want to give civilians a chance to advance, so these nobles began to disgust the Ming Dynasty's rule over them.

Some radicals even launched a rebellion directly.

Daming Ida Soshita, the former Sendai vassal, launched a rebellion and decided to establish a new shogunate and become a general.

Because the Ida Sonkatsu family was not in harmony with the Tokugawa Shogunate and had always had the ambition to replace the Tokugawa Shogunate, when the Tokugawa Shogunate moved to the Americas, the Ida Sonkatsu family ignored it.

Like other daimyos who stayed in Japan, Ida Zongsheng chose to surrender voluntarily after encountering the Ming Dynasty's large-scale attack.

Ida Zongsheng had also changed his Chinese name to Yi Zongsheng, and he was waiting for the Ming Dynasty to re-appoint his name.

But he did not expect that after becoming the governor of Japan, His Highness, the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty, would directly convert all the surrendered areas into prefectures and counties, and the areas ruled by his Sendai vassal were inevitable. They were sent to new officials and new troops and no longer recognized his status as warriors and his retainers.

What he didn't expect now was that His Highness, the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty, directly established an imperial examination system, so that all civilians could also participate in the imperial examination and compete with their nobles.

This naturally made Ida Zongsheng very angry. With the support of a group of retainers, warriors who were unwilling to lose their status, they launched a rebellion, lured and killed the Ming officials in Sendai, and raided the three hundred Ming soldiers stationed here.

However, because the military strength of the two sides was too far apart, three hundred Ming soldiers occupied the city and defended it, which made tens of thousands of troops from the Ida clan unable to break through the city.

Zhu Ciwei also had to send a large army to wipe out, and eventually besieged Ida Sosaki's entire army in the Iwate area.

Da da!

Da da!

Da da!

He operated the muskets of the company and shot wildly at the Japanese pirates who were trying to rush to his high ground. Yuan Tai, the Ming army sentry officer, was very unaware of these rebels who were still in the time of queuing up to kill. Therefore, when the rebels of Ida Zongsheng's troops did not rush up again, he said to his comrades in the same muskets group with cigarettes in his mouth:

"I really don't understand! Why do these Japanese pirates have to do it? It's just an imperial examination! What's the matter? Isn't this a normal thing? I have to come because of this rebellion! Since that's the case, why should I surrender earlier? To reject my Ming Dynasty, it's better not to surrender before Xiancheng."

The Han officers of the Ming Dynasty who had already shouted the slogan "Is there any king, prince, general, and minister" thousands of years ago did not understand the motives of these Japanese pirates to rebel.

Because this imperial examination system that allows the civilian class to join the aristocratic class and even the rulings of the imperialists has long been deeply rooted in China, becoming a system that both those in power and ordinary people are accustomed to and think is no problem.

"That's right! Why are these Japanese pirate nobles so uncivilized that they do not allow civilians to make a name for themselves! Our Taizu was born as a commoner. There are no nobles in this world who have always been nobles. They have been killed for five generations. These Japanese pirate nobles are really stubborn and ignorant!"

Yuan Tai's comrade-in-arms Tan Ping also started talking.

Yuan Tai then sighed: "These Japanese pirates are just a group of dogs who just want to ride on the heads of ordinary people and shit! Even we Han people holding guns don't think anything is wrong. They are good, so they have rebelled and have never encountered too much civil rebellion. I don't know what the consequences will be if we force the common people to be cruel!"

Although it was nothing wrong for the Han people to implement the imperial examination system that allowed civilians to advance to the bureaucratic class, the nobles among the Japanese were indeed unwilling to give up their privileges easily.

It was not until the next time that Ida Zongsheng's troops were completely wiped out, and the nine tribes of his retainers and nine tribes were slaughtered that most of the Japanese nobles had to begin to accept the reality that they no longer had the treatment of aristocrats.

The imperial examination system was therefore successfully implemented.

A large number of scholars from Japanese civilian origins have been granted the status of scholars.

However, considering that the language and writing of Japan have not been completely eliminated, according to Zhu Youxiao's requirements, within a hundred years, there will be a threshold for Japanese scholars and people from the Ming Dynasty to study or seek jobs, and even the Japanese cannot be officials in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao did this naturally to avoid the dissolute Japanese stolen the power of the empire.

The implementation of the imperial examination system was only the first step for Zhu Ciwei to Chineseize in Japan.

Next, Zhu Ciwei will also divide the land in Japan.

This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the Japanese nobles again, and several rebellions occurred resolutely, but fortunately they were all put down in the end.

The Japanese nobles completely lost their privileged status.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty completely established a civilian society without local aristocrats in Japan, and thus greatly increased the income of civilians in Japan, which led to an economic recovery in Japan.

The amount of goods sold to Japan by the Ming Dynasty also increased significantly.

After completing the distribution of the land, Zhu Ciwei followed Zhu Youxiao's instructions and all he had to do was consolidate the re-established ruling system in Japan.

First of all, Zhu Ciwei continued to crack down on ambitious Japanese nobles. Basically, he would execute anyone who had ambitions.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

...

Every day, the newly established execution platform in Edo Castle will execute a group of Japanese nobles who attempted independence and restoration.

Secondly, Zhu Ciwei also ordered all Japanese people to be easily disseminated and disguised, and prohibited Japanese people from learning Japanese language. He also ordered officials at all levels to destroy Japanese local cultural symbols by coercion and inducement, and set up Chinese literature schools to popularize Chinese Confucian education for Japanese civilians.
