Chapter 35 Do it!
East Palace, Xiefang Hall.
Wang Hao, who was dressed in a blue official robe, was sitting and discussing with the crown prince.
Wang Hao is a contemporary celebrity and has a certain status in the hearts of students all over the world.
You need to have articles, you need to have morals, you need to have official positions, especially in recent times, you have been ordered to serve the crown prince, which has been in the limelight for a while.
"...His Highness's worries are not unreasonable. However, ordinary people always hope to have a seed to study, serve the country, and shine on the lintel. If you can get some fame, then it will be worth the extra effort."
Zhu Houzhao chatted with him like this, or it was a kind of guidance.
"But the salary in the imperial court is not high. For example, this shopkeeper spends a lot of money to provide education for his four sons. Even if he becomes a Jinshi, will his life be better? Or, if he becomes an official, he will have a way to get money?"
Wang Hao thought to himself, the crown prince is really smart. This question is... really good enough.
"Your Highness's words are thought-provoking. In the imperial court... some officials are indeed involved in corruption. However, the imperial examination has been a national policy of all dynasties since the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It not only selects the world's talents for the court, but also gives the people of the world a chance to serve the country.
.”
"That's the truth. If it weren't for the imperial examination, I wouldn't be able to meet Mr. Wang today."
The Crown Prince spoke in a relaxed and interesting manner, and Wang Hao also laughed along with him. Anyway, it was just a discussion.
Zhu Houzhao added: "However, I am also thinking...the imperial court does not need so many scholars after all. No matter how big the world is, there will always be fewer officials than the people. Scholars should be given first priority, which is what it should be. But those who read
What about those who don’t write letters? They are also people of the Ming Dynasty, and they should be the majority, right?"
Wang Hao thought about the point of these words.
He was a little confused as to what the Crown Prince wanted to say, "Your Highness, what have you learned?"
"I'm just ignorant. I just feel that those who can't pass the imperial examination are really pitiful. Like this shopkeeper, if I am old and my son cannot pass the imperial examination, how will his life be easy in the future?"
Wang Hao thought to himself, Your Highness is really a kind and kind gentleman! I am not as good as him!
Because he himself has never considered this issue.
"Besides, I want to set up the Medical Palace this time. Many people told me that the people lack medical treatment and medicine not because there are few doctors, but because they are poor. I ask again, why are they poor? The imperial court obviously has Mr. Xu, but Liu
, Li, Xie, three adults, they are all the pillars of the country. I think they are honest and diligent, and my father also works hard every day and forgets to eat and sleep. Under such circumstances, there are still people in poverty in the country. The imperial court
, and what should we do?”
"If Father can't do it, how can I do it? If Mr. Xu can't do it, Mr. Wang, do you have the confidence to beat Mr. Xu?"
This is a comparison between Wang Hao and Xu Pu. No matter how arrogant and arrogant Wang Hao is, how can he dare to confidently say that he is better than the chief minister of the dynasty?
So the answer to this question is very clear,
The crown prince’s worries are also normal: What can’t be done by my father and Xu Chieffu? You and I are not as good as them. What will we do in the future?
Wang Hao opened his mouth slightly in shock. He never imagined that the prince would have such profound thoughts and deep worries.
Faced with this profound problem, Wang Hao could only kneel down and said, "I am so incompetent that your Highness is so worried!"
"Hey, Mr. Wang, you don't have to be like this. Get up quickly. Today is just for you and me to talk in our free time. Besides, I haven't finished speaking yet. You get up first and listen."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Wang Hao also became very serious,
It should be said that it was one of the most serious moments in his life.
No one has ever analyzed these issues in this way, especially as they relate to the immediate interests of the people.
"Continuing with what I just said...Mr. Wang, let's talk about the young man I met that day who had no money for medical treatment. If he wanted to treat his mother, he had to find a job, otherwise who would pay him money?"
"What His Highness said is absolutely true."
"But he was born into a poor family, where could he learn the skills to make a living?"
After hearing this, Wang Hao finally had an idea.
"Is that why Your Highness wants to build a medical palace?!"
"That's right. Mr. Wang thought about it carefully. Nowadays, there is a shortage of doctors among the people, and there are also many poor people who are unable to make a living. Everything is inferior. Only if you study well, pass the exam as a young man, and get the first prize, it is naturally a pleasure in life, but the first prize every three
If you are only one year old, what will happen to the rest? Besides, the imperial court does not only need scholars, and the world cannot be full of scholars."
"The imperial court still needs farmers, otherwise what will we eat? We need people who weave and make clothes, otherwise what will we wear? We need doctors, so we can treat illnesses. We need excellent generals and soldiers, so we can resist foreign enemies. We even need doctors.
A professional official...that is Yang Tinghe, I asked him to be the prefect, but I don’t know how well he has done!"
Yang Tinghe: "..."
Having said that,
How could Wang Hao not understand the crown prince's thoughts?
"Your Highness means that the imperial court should find a way out for those who cannot study well."
Yes, it would be scary if a failed scholar rebelled.
Zhu Houzhao nodded, "That's it. Furthermore, Mr. Wang, think about it, there are some who are good at reading and some who are not good at reading; there are good and bad generals, and there are also good and bad doctors with medical skills.
How can we know that there is no difference between good and bad in farming? There is no good or bad in raising silkworms? What is excellent and good should be compiled into a book, formed into a routine, and widely disseminated. Just like a good article, why should it be locked up so that no one can read it?
Isn’t it a pity?”
"That's right." Wang Hao's eyes had gone from being confused at the beginning to slowly gleaming: "So, this Medical Palace must not only be built, but also done in a big way! The method of farming and the method of leading troops,
Even the methods of serving as an official must be included and taught by highly skilled seniors. This will not only provide a way out for those who do not study, but also provide the court with many more experts. This is why it is called..."
Wang Hao glanced at the copybook in his hand, punched his fists twice, "That's why specialization in the art is called!!"
This was said very loudly.
Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up and saluted: "Mr. Wang is a great talent! These words really made me suddenly realize! I always felt in chaos at first, but just after listening to Mr. Wang's words, I realized the crux of the matter. If it is true as Mr. Wang said, the imperial court will
, All the people will be blessed! By that time, those who go out of the academy will be able to farm the land, become officials, and fight. Then won’t our Ming Dynasty be full of talents? Even if it is powerful in the world,
Coming to Korea from all over the world is not a dream!"
After hearing this, Wang Hao could no longer calm down.
The whole person has begun to get excited, and the movements of his hands cannot be restrained, "Your Highness! I believe that this matter is very serious and must be handled! And it must be handled as soon as possible!"
"So urgent?" Zhu Houzhao felt that he had gone too far.
He hasn't solved the silver issue yet...
Unexpectedly, Wang Hao seemed to have connected with both Ren and Governor, and said plausibly: "Your Highness is unaware of something. In the ninth year of Hongzhi, the Huaihe River flooded. The imperial court wanted to select someone who knew how to control water and was good at water management. His Excellency Wang Qiong was in charge of the management.
The Caohe River has been quite effective for many years. But it happened that Mr. Wang was recuperating due to illness, so there was no one to choose from everywhere?! How ridiculous! If, as His Highness said, the method of river management was compiled into a book and established as a rule, the imperial court
How come we can’t find an official to govern the Huaihe River?”
Zhu Houzhao said to himself, "There are such vivid examples in reality, so if you didn't tell me earlier, I would have to waste my time talking about it."
"What about this...?"
