Chapter 294 Enrollment at the Capital University Hall
Not long after Han Yu left the Ganqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen ordered people to summon Li Zhizao to meet him. He had no energy to change the matter of the imperial examination. After all, it had been passed down for thousands of years, and it was unrealistic to kill him with one blow. It's impossible.
Emperor Chongzhen really dared to do this, but he was an enemy of scholars all over the world. If that was the case, there would be a wave of protests everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, and in severe cases, there would even be riots.
However, if you cannot change the imperial examination, you can still rely on the imperial examination and suck some essence and blood to enhance the foundation of the imperial examination.
When Emperor Chongzhen thought of these, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was having trouble. After all, the difficulty of the imperial examination was very high, and there were only a few who could get the exam.
The difficulty of inheriting the eight-legged scholars to the Chongzhen period was rising. Anyway, it was hard to say whether Emperor Chongzhen could pass the provincial examination.
"My memory...Li Zhizao, pay homage to Your Majesty."
"No gift."
Looking at Li Zhizao who was rushing to come, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said that Li Zhizao was good. He had been actively promoting the matter of managing the school that he had previously decided.
"Li Qing, the spring examination for the fourth year of Chongzhen is about to be held, I remember something."
Emperor Chongzhen calmed down and looked at Li Zhizao and said, "The students who are entering Beijing are probably increasing day by day. By the time the spring examination begins, the scale will increase a lot, which is a good thing for the Beijing University.
After all, the quota for the Jinshi on both lists is limited, and the few who can pass the exam are ultimately the few. Most scholars are afraid that they will leave the capital with regrets.
From now on, you have been using the banner of enrollment, with age limits to 35 years old, and will conduct corresponding enrollment in areas such as taxation, river government, and sci-calculation.
Now the state dynasty lacks a lot of capable officials in the fields of finance, rivers, engineering, disaster relief, etc.
If the Beijing University can cultivate a group of outstanding talents and make corresponding political achievements during internships in the Disaster Relief Administration, Zhuhedao Governor's Office and other departments, the court will not be able to grant official positions."
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, I'm afraid there will be a lot of controversy and opposition between the government and the country." Li Zhizao heard what the emperor said and said in a shocked manner: "After all..."
"I didn't say that I promised these things now. I have to do it slowly first."
Emperor Chongzhen frowned and said, "This time, no matter what method you use, you must recruit 3,000 young students to train them."
I know this is very difficult.
But look at the many bad policies that have appeared in the local area. Although the officials and government agencies have painted them, the hidden truth cannot be hidden after all."
The construction of the talent team was what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to promote the most.
Especially in the two major areas of Hezheng and disaster relief, Emperor Chongzhen urgently lacked a large number of talents to continuously expand the local system to build two separate systems.
After all, for a long time in the future, the frequent occurrence of disasters in various places will not change. In the Little Ice Age, these problems will break out.
If you rely on the team of officials in the Ming Dynasty to deal with these areas with a lot of food and money, the final result will be that most of the food and money that you have put together in your pockets. Local disasters and troubles have not been resolved, and the local people can't bear it anymore , then there will be chaos in the public.
Now, the local disaster relief administration office and the river governor's office, Emperor Chongzhen was only preparing to build it in northern provinces and is operating steadily.
For example, under the rule of the southern provinces, there was only Huguang. Li Banghua served as the governor of Huguang. Emperor Chongzhen was quite sure that Li Banghua would make changes in Huguang.
Like Xiong Wencan, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Fang Kongzhao, the governor of Fujian, Emperor Chongzhen was not sure whether the two would strictly follow his orders.
"Please rest assured, your Majesty, I will definitely do this."
Seeing the emperor say this, Li Zhizao looked firm and bowed.
In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, the Capital University is the cradle of new learning and the root of the Ming Dynasty's enlightenment, so he definitely hopes that this cradle can be better and better.
When the schools under its jurisdiction can gradually develop in the Ming Dynasty, the number of groups willing to accept new ideas will increase.
Undeniable.
The Confucianism that inherits its roots does have many advantages, but some cages that imprison ideas deeply harm the Ming Dynasty.
Especially the Chongzhen Dynasty that entered the late period of rule, if it could not break through the siege, there would be no way to avoid such a situation as the Jiashen National Migration.
“Do it well.”
Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly and said, "If you need money, submit a memorial to the emperor, and I will allocate it from the treasury."
When it comes to recruiting students, don’t be afraid of spending money or causing an impact. Just do your part in your work. As for other things, I will control them, so the Qing family doesn’t have to worry too much.”
"I obey the order."
Li Zhizao worshiped again.
In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty's education system was aimed at the elite group, and the illiteracy that existed under the rule was everywhere.
This is also the root cause of the fact that the gentry and scholars can enjoy deep-rooted privileges and rely on these privileges to safeguard their own interests and take advantage of the situation to annex the land.
If the Ming Dynasty's education system could expand from a very small group to the entire group, called the descendants of the lower class people, and also enjoy education and education, it would be able to break the solidification of the class.
As time goes by, the more truth I learnt, Emperor Chongzhen feels the necessity and urgency of compulsory education. The enlightenment of the whole nation is the primary driving force for ensuring development.
"If the Ming Dynasty wants to promote primitive industrialization, it must have a large-scale group that can read and write, otherwise it will be too difficult to do this."
Looking at Li Zhizao's departure, Emperor Chongzhen exclaimed softly, and felt emotion: "Especially standardization is to lay the foundation for primitive industrialization. It has always relied on the illiterate group to do these things, which is very inefficient after all. This cannot be
Promote the overall upward development of the Ming Dynasty industry.
Especially the construction of an efficient official team with clean government is also a very important part. These things will take ten or twenty years to gradually promote and shape them.”
The class solidification and interests of the Ming Dynasty have reached a difficult level. If you want to promote changes in these crux of problems, you must introduce new interest orientations under the existing framework and gradually make adjustments.
Whenever I think of these things, Emperor Chongzhen will find that the problem will return to the starting point. It is still a human being. If you want these planning and deployment to operate effectively, you must gradually enlighten your wisdom so that the participating groups can pass through their own
Make efforts to change your destiny.
