Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and remained silent for a long time.

When we talk about this, it can be said that it is a dispute at the ideological level, or about the positioning of the national policy of the Ming Dynasty.

As an emperor and a minister, Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that some things could not be stipulated by himself and would remain unchanged.

With Da Sun's "rebellious and unethical" character, even if he sets some ancestral precepts, it won't make much sense.

Just by looking at Da Sun's eyes, you can tell that his personality is similar to his own, and he is extremely stubborn.

Even if I can object now, when I take the throne in the future, I will still have to change how I want to change it.

In fact, from a certain perspective, it is already a very miraculous thing for Zhu Yuanzhang to realize this.

Mainly for his eldest grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang has almost always communicated with him on an equal footing from the very beginning of doting on him.

It's hard for others to imagine a character like Zhu Yuanzhang's. Generally speaking, he felt guilty for his eldest grandson, which is why he made concessions in many places.

When encountering an issue that you are opposed to in your heart, first of all, you do not suppress it with a violent attitude. For the sake of this rare love between grandson and grandson, you will think about it and convince your grandson with reason.

Depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism.

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's idea of ​​governing the country. The principles of monarch and ministers in Confucianism are very beneficial to rulers and cannot be compared with Taoism and Buddhism.

"Dasun, you don't have to beat around the bush. Tell us directly what you think about the imperial examination."

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to throw this issue directly back to Da Sun.

Since Da Sun felt that stereotyped writing was not enough to recruit scholars, he came up with a better way.

Zhu Ying didn't hesitate when she heard the words and directly said what was in her heart.

"Students have studied hard for ten years. However, after they have achieved fame, these poems and songs do not allow them to learn how to quickly govern the place."

"So Sun'er believes that the imperial examination can be subdivided into six directions, just like the six divisions."

"The Four Books and Five Classics are also indispensable, and some of them can be selected as key points. Secondly, they can be tested according to the direction chosen by the candidates."

"For example, if you take the examination of the Ministry of Punishment, the Four Books and Five Classics, the Ming Dynasty Laws, and the Da Gao will each occupy three, and then comprehensive evaluation will be carried out, and the superior ones will be ranked higher."

Of course, Zhu Ying would not choose to kill Confucianism with one blow. After all, as far as the current Ming Dynasty is concerned, Confucian governance ideas are still very good as the mainstream.

Now there is no other thought that can replace Confucianism.

It just means that like universities in later generations, the originally unified national examination was turned into a junior college.

As for top talents, of course they can be promoted upwards, and there are quite a few geniuses in the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, it is actually equivalent to broadening the content of the imperial examination. The Four Books and Five Classics are no longer the whole, but only as an ideological auxiliary subject.

Students are free to choose the direction of their studies, so that after gaining merit, they can enter the corresponding major and get started quickly.

There is no chance that an official from the Ministry of Punishment would not even read the Ming Dynasty Code after joining the job, and then make a joke when judging a case.

Of course, after so many circles, Zhu Ying's biggest core still lies in the Ministry of Industry.

These pathways are mainly created for the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for a very broad scope, such as arms manufacturing, agricultural tools, etc.

Basically it involves the military industry and agriculture itself.

But now the status of craftsmen is too low. Although they are said to be scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, they are actually scholars, merchants, farmers and workers.

However, the Ministry of Industry is the key to productivity.

Such as the research of materials themselves, the research of firearms and gunpowder, etc. These are the keys to productivity.

Improving the welfare and social status of craftsmen and guiding the emergence of the Ming Dynasty's industrial system all depended on the Ministry of Industry.

Everything else can be developed slowly.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes began to light up.

From being rejected at the beginning to being gradually convinced now, Zhu Yuanzhang could sense Sun's unique thoughts and thoughts on governing the country.

From running the army to domestic affairs, the current grandson gave Zhu Yuanzhang a feeling of being almost omnipotent.

"What Da Sun said is indeed good, but it cannot be formulated immediately. We will leave this matter to the Hanlin Academy for processing first."

"The students' books must be compiled first, and then the imperial examination can be conducted."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Da Sun did not directly say that he wanted to abolish the Four Books and Five Classics, but chose to follow the same path, which in Zhu Yuanzhang's view was still advisable.

Moreover, from the memorials, Zhu Yuanzhang himself had long discovered that many ministers had serious incompetences.

But this is a common phenomenon, and Zhu Yuanzhang has nothing to do about it.

The imperial examination system began in the Sui Dynasty and was perfected in the Tang Dynasty. It was the key for kings to select talents, and it can be said that a group of poor students emerged from this.

"Since it was you, Dasun, who proposed this matter, you will be responsible for it. When the time comes, we will approve the paperwork. You will be responsible for the Hanlin Academy matters first," Zhu Yuanzhang added.

"My grandson listens to grandpa's arrangements."

Zhu Ying's eyes lit up and she said immediately.

Compiling teaching materials is very meaningful to Zhu Ying. In the process of compiling, he can add a lot of personal information.

These textbooks are extremely important and will directly affect every scholar in the Ming Dynasty, including changes in the development direction of the entire Ming Empire.

"We have to go back to the palace. We have to go back and think about what the grandson told us today, so that the ministers can discuss it and come up with details."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, and then told Zhu Ying: "We will have someone come to pick you up later. We will go to the palace tonight to see your father."

Zhu Ying nodded slightly when he heard this: "Okay."

...

Western Region.

Zhu Ying did not expect that she would arrange for Zhang San to deliver the letter, but in the end, he would also send stubble.

In fact, after Zhu Ying learned about his own life experience, especially after he set out to plan for the Ming Dynasty, his main focus had already begun to focus on the Ming Dynasty.

Now is the best time for the Ming Dynasty to reform. The old man is still here. No matter what kind of reform it is, as long as it has the support of the old man, no one can stop the Ming Dynasty.

Now is also the time when Ming Dynasty's military strength is at its peak.

In fact, one blue jade cannot have much impact on the situation. Even famous generals such as Feng Sheng and Fu Youde, in Zhu Ying's opinion, it is certainly better to have it, and it would not be too bad not to have it.

The most important thing is that the Lan Yu case resulted in too many mid-level officers being implicated.

Just like a human arm, if the bones inside are gone, it will naturally not be strong. Even if the old man is determined to kill Lan Yu, Zhu Ying will not say that he takes it too seriously.

In Zhu Ying's opinion, whether Lan Yu can survive or not can only be known after meeting him. Although Lan Yu is his uncle, if Lan Yu opposes him due to some factors.

Then it can only be removed.

In fact, as far as the subordinates of the Western Regions are concerned, Zhu Ying cannot directly reveal his identity now. This will not be of much benefit to him, but will easily breed hidden dangers.

The most important reason is that his troops are all outside the Ming Dynasty, not within the Ming Dynasty, and if he plans to plan elsewhere in the future, it will also be a good secret.

Of course, he still passed on a cryptic message, the key to which was the seal on the blank document.

Qunying City, here is the city forged on Zhu Ying's territory in the Western Regions.

Even if it is a small country in the Western Region, there is no problem.

With a population of 3,000 households, about 10,000 people, and more than 3,000 soldiers, mainly cavalry, there is no problem in self-protection in the Western Region.

It is worth mentioning that if it were not for the founding of the country in Qunying City, Zhu Ying would always go to the desert and grasslands to manage his power.

Maybe the current Qunying City will be called Qunying City.

You can also establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty, pay tribute, and even get titles from the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, although the current Qunying City does not have a title, it has submitted its submission to the Ming Dynasty and is protected by the Ming Dynasty.

Strictly speaking, it still belongs to Ming Dynasty.

Inside Qunying City.

"Li Xiucai, you have to look carefully. This is the document of Daming Station." Liu Sheng said to a middle-aged and elderly man with some white hair and a thin body.

Li Xiucai heard this and said with certainty: "Of course I know this is a document from the Daming Station. It also has the seal of the director of the Car and Horse Department of the Ministry of War."

After finishing speaking, he said with some confusion: "It stands to reason that although the inn is controlled by the Chariot and Horse Department of the Ministry of War, the inn documents generally do not have the seal of the Chariot and Horse Department of the Ministry of War, and they are still blank documents."

"What does this mean?" Liu Sheng asked doubtfully. He was not very familiar with the situation in Ming Dynasty.

Li Xiucai had a serious reputation as a scholar. The reason why he ended up living in the Western Regions was because he got into a lawsuit and finally ran away.

However, scholars these days are popular everywhere. After all, there were not many literate people in the Ming Dynasty, and even fewer in the Western Regions.

Li Xiucai's status in Qunying City is still one of the best. After coming here for several years, he married a wife and had children here, and lived a prosperous life.

He organized the words in his mind, and did not bother to explain the details of the Ming Dynasty empty seal case to Liu Sheng, so he said directly:

"There are only two possible situations when you can get a blank document and have your boss's seal to prove it."

Liu Sheng asked; "What two situations?"

"One is that these documents are all forged, but the boss has established connections in the capital and is able to hide it from the truth, but I think this possibility is not high."
