"Mr. Li chose Shandong to start the investigation, which was wrong! And, it was a big mistake!"

This is the first sentence that Hou Yong, the Minister of Personnel, said after entering the palace, and it is also his first public opinion on the new policy.

The hall is silent, and it is really a big deal that is rare in ancient and modern times, such as a rare event in ancient and modern times. If it is not handled well, it will be a joke to the ages.

Zhu Yunxiu sat on the throne and rubbed his temples, opening his mouth and said, "Wrong? Where is the wrong one?"

Hou Yong looked up and looked at the emperor's gaze, "Because Shandong is different from other places!" As he said, he smiled, "To be precise, the northern region is definitely different from the southern sages. This difference is not the origin of a student, nor the literary style, nor the level of the article, but... the future!"

Zhu Yunxiu's hand suddenly paused, "You keep talking!"

"Mr. Li has never experienced it in the local area, so he doesn't understand the customs and cultures very well. He thinks that as long as he recognizes the truth and can be unscrupulous in doing things, he ignores that it is a love outside the law and that it is reasonable in the feelings!"

Hou Yong, an honest man, opened his mouth and mocked him.

Zhu Yun's face turned red, and he insisted on promoting Li Zhigang, and Hou Yong's words were more like he was the emperor.

"Since the Song Dynasty crossed south, the literary style in the north has gradually faded..."

Hou Yong was about to speak, but Zhu Gaochi in front of him couldn't help but say, "Shangshu Hou, please tell me briefly. There is no need to repeat the old tune more than a hundred years ago!"

"If you don't say it, you won't know what happened to Mr. Li? You won't know why Shandong students are so easy to arouse, and they start to make trouble as soon as they instigate!" Hou Yong frowned, his tone was cold.

He was unwilling to offend the Minister Wang of Nanshu on weekdays, but now he was ignorant of this joint.

He was more heartbroken than anyone else when something happened in Shandong. He had served as the Shandong governor for several years, and he was the most promising and proudest thing about two things: one is to safeguard the people and the other is to promote official schools.

In addition, he is originally from Shandong.

"Listen to him!" Zhu Yunxiu spoke lightly.

"A hundred years ago, the northern land was all under the hands of the Hu people. The Jin Dynasty was fine. It started to follow the Confucianism and Law from the Jin Zhangzong, and then became a Chinese orthodox man. After the Yuan Dynasty destroyed Jin, did he once govern the country with Confucianism?" Hou Yong continued, "The Yuan Dynasty thought that the destruction of Jin was due to the sinicization, so he should use Confucianism, but he was very cautious about the Sinology!"

"So, since the founding of the State of the Yuan Dynasty, it did not promote the imperial examinations. Even if the imperial examinations were held, it would be divided into three or six levels, so as to save face!" Hou Yong continued, "In this way, how good can the academic style in the north be?"

"In addition, Yuan destroyed Jin, and the entire northern creatures were in trouble, and then attacked the Song Dynasty for decades. How could the scholars who read the books of sages!"

"In Jiangnan, the great families of the Southern Song Dynasty have a prosperous literary style, a family of knowledge, and a continuous inheritance. In this way, the gap between students from the north and the south is widened!"

Speaking of this, Hou Yong paused, "I said you all know these things, don't be anxious, listen to me and say it slowly!"

Then, he looked at everyone again, "Another way, when I was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, I was the one who fought the most fiercely, I am afraid that it was still in the north?"

Everyone was silent. The chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty began in the north and affected half of the Yuan court.

The old man's Huaixi Xungui Group was only qualified to compete with the Yuan army after turning his attention to the south and successfully annexed Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang.

At that time, the entire north was destroyed, especially in Henan and Shandong. All the aristocratic families and powerful people turned into bones. The destruction of the south was relatively petite, and the Ming Dynasty occupied the most abundant land for producing grain and cloth, so it was possible to promote troops to fight the Northern Expedition.

The process of the Northern Expedition was a great achievement.

But war will kill people, and it will be another heavy blow to the north.

Until today, the vitality of the north has not recovered. This can be seen from the last North-South list.

What kind of education should I talk about if I don’t have money!

If you don’t have education, what kind of talents will you talk about!

No one talks about construction!

The original education system and social composition were broken and not so easy to establish.

"Everything has a cause!" Hou Yong sighed, "There is a result when there is a cause! Taking Shandong students as an example, joining the court as an official, shining their families and revitalizing their families is the cause of their study. The privileges given to them by the court are the result they want!"

"They studied just to be officials and to privilege!" Hou Yong said, saluting Zhu Yunxi, "Isn't that the case?" He said, and he looked up and said, "The reason for this is because there is no way out!"

Zhu Yunxiu felt a little nervous in his heart. He suddenly felt that he seemed to have overlooked the most important thing.

"If you don't become an official, you are poor scholars, you are ridiculed and bullied! The north has been reduced to the hands of the Hu people for hundreds of years, and the officials and the people are clearly divided!"

Hou Yong said again, "But the students in Jiangnan are different, right?"

"Students in Jiangnan were honored by Jinshi, and after becoming officials, they were even more noble as Hanlin!" Hou Yong said again, "It is rare to see students in Jiangnan. After they pass the juren, they start to run for office? They are rare to see students in Jiangnan who are ecstatic for the eighth-rank official?"

The hall was filled with Hou Yong's voice.

Everyone was listening carefully, with a look of contemplation on their faces.

"Because they have a way out! Even poor students have a family support from the entire family. If they fail to pass the imperial examination, they may continue to study hard at home, go to private school to teach, or be an aide, which is not relaxing and comfortable... What is not that there is more money and less trouble?" As he said, Hou Yong smiled, "With a Juren, he will have an official position, he can protect his family, and he can feed back, and he will be respected everywhere he goes! With the identity of a Juren, he will not have to worry about his livelihood."

"Not to mention those aristocratic families!" Hou Yong sighed again, "Everyone, there are many Jinshi in Jiangnan who are officials in the court? Have you ever seen anyone who is willing to stay away from the capital and become a local official? Well, unless they are rank-level officials, right?"

"But on the other hand, the north cannot do it! If you can't pass the imperial examination, you will never be able to raise your head for the rest of your life. Without an official position, your family will... be defeated! It is said that you are poor, rich and powerful, but you can also spend money on studying! So what is the purpose of getting fame and fortune?"

"Just say, if I hadn't passed the exam, otherwise the few acres of thin land in my family would have to be used to pay off the debt! After passing the exam, I would really jump into the dragon gate! I became the best!"

Hou Yong's words cannot be said completely, but they must be admitted, which is reasonable!

The upper economy determines the lower building. The economic differences between the north and the south and the humanistic structure have completely different mentalities of students from the north and the south.

Especially in humanities, the south is a clan, while the northern students do not have clans behind them.

"I am not saying that it is wrong to implement the new policy!" Hou Yong said again, "The benefits of the new policy are endless!"

All of us here are talented people. The purpose of the new policy is nothing more than opening up the source of the national treasury, curbing the expanding gentry class, and strengthening the center's rights to the local area.

These three are the muscles and flesh of the Ming Empire, which made the entire Ming Empire form a fist, rather than the court, but the local governments act independently.

Especially for the gentry groups like local emperors, it is impossible to put the money and food of civilians in their hands, so that the government will have to pay attention to their expressions and discuss with them.

Not to mention the collusion between officials and gentry, the connection between officials and businessmen, and even the gentry in Jiangnan established one spokesperson after another in the court.

"What I want to say is that Mr. Li's method is wrong and the method is wrong!" Hou Yong continued, "It's too urgent! It's too cruel!"

"Which student with fame and fortune doesn't have other people's land? He thought he was a decisive person when he went there, but he didn't know that he was stabbing a hornet's nest! He was like being an enemy of students from all Shandong!"

"How can you not rebel in this way?"
