Chapter Five Hundred and Twelfth Heaven's Eyes and Eyes
Yingtian's life is comfortable. Let's not talk about anything else. The principals, directors, and doctors of each school... they are probably the principals, vice principals, professors... all the salaries are comparable to those of the imperial officials.
For example, the mountain chief of Shu Jimin Academy receives his salary according to the minister.
There is no way, who knows that our Ming Dynasty's foundation is too weak and it is in urgent need of education, so Lao Zhu is still very polite to talents.
But Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that so many people would be so shameless.
When you receive your salary, you are so happy, but you, each one of you, are so timid and wagging your tongue to cause trouble for us.
If you don't kill a few of us, you don't know how powerful we are!
"Qian Yongren, you go now and find us two hundred scholars who are willing to go to Shandong. If anyone dares or doesn't want to go, let him come to see us and we will have a good chat with him!"
Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his fists, looking eager to try. Li Shanchang could see clearly that this man was about to kill again. This time, Li Shanchang had no intention of stopping him. On the contrary, he was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would not kill enough of these beasts.
He always instigates and coerces me, hoping that I will start a fight with the superior.
Don’t you still want to see me destroy myself by striking an egg against a stone?
Sorry, I don't!
"Your Majesty. Running a school requires not only people, but also money. I think one million yuan should be allocated as a special fund. In addition, every county in Shandong should establish official schools and recruit children to study."
Zhu Yuanzhang was quite unaccustomed to it, and Li Shanchang actually took the initiative to increase the pressure.
"Mr. Li, if you do this, I'm afraid you will need more teachers, right?"
Li Shanchang quickly said: "As for me, I am thinking about letting soldiers go to village communities to lead the people. Can we select some from the army who have good knowledge and character and let them teach in the county and teach children how to read?"
ah!"
As soon as he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang was very interested. Not bad! You can try it.
Qian Yongren almost fainted and almost died.
It’s over!
This is a complete disgrace to politeness.
If we follow this line of thinking, how can PhDs from various schools have any status at all?
Moreover, the annual budget for establishing schools is only so large. It’s not like Li Xiang didn’t know it. He took out one million yuan in one mouth and wanted to build government schools everywhere... You said it so happily, what should we do?
This year's budgets for school establishment in several southern provinces will definitely be cut. It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but once Shandong's official schools are launched, the imperial examination quotas will soon be divided among them.
When these people enter the officialdom, they will inevitably compete for budget shares.
Once this example occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the pattern formed over the past ten years will be completely broken.
It’s just killing me!
Normally, Qian Yongren would argue with Lao Zhu no matter what.
But today he really didn't dare to say a word.
With Lao Zhu's momentum today, he could be turned into a human skin pillow at any time.
Although the Ministry of Rites usually has to take care of the thoughts of the people below, it really annoyed the emperor and forced the Ming Emperor to have murderous intentions, so he was not so courageous.
The money was smeared with Renren ashes, and Li Shanchang still wanted to make a fuss, but then he thought, he still had to be a man in the court, so he shouldn't go too far. What's more, he was still a little unsure about Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.
Forget it, let's go back temporarily, observe it carefully, and then talk about it.
As the two men left, there was finally no blood splattered on the palace.
But everyone in the government and the public who knew about this incident was frightened and shuddered.
The conflict between emperors and ministers is so terrible. If Zhu Yuanzhang really issued an order that all those who do not want to go to Shandong will be made into human leather pillows, then there will be many high-end customized leather pillows in the Ming Dynasty in an instant.
What is the problem?
Li Shanchang!
That's right, the problem is that Li Shanchang is incompetent!
Failure to fulfill the duties of prime minister is a serious dereliction of duty and fails the expectations of the government and the public.
If Mr. Zhang were here, this probably wouldn’t be like this. Mr. Zhang, we miss you!
Perhaps Li Shanchang never dreamed that he would be the most injured in the conflict between the emperor and his ministers! But if you think about it from another perspective, the prime minister is caught between the emperor and the officials. If something goes wrong, it would be strange if he didn't get scolded!
"Chongpachi, actually there's nothing to be angry about about this kind of thing. After hearing what you said, I remembered that when the salary was determined, wasn't there a serious quarrel?"
Empress Ma persuaded him in a low voice. At this juncture, he was the only one who could make Old Zhu speak calmly.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought hard and agreed, "My sister is right. At first they wanted to get more salary, but they didn't want to be like the common people. Now they don't want to go to Shandong to endure hardships. It's all the fault of the scholar-bureaucrats! Why can't they change it?
?”
Empress Ma smiled helplessly. How long had it been since the founding of the Ming Dynasty?
Even if it's only ten years since the army was launched, it's simply unrealistic to expect to change everyone's thoughts and habits in this short time.
"Chongba, actually you might as well think about it. Mr. Zhang has worked hard over the years to gather a group of scholars with high aspirations. But after all, the time is too short and there are too few people available. When schools are established in various places, they have to use the old teachers.
Confucian scholars, let them study new things and pass the examination, then they can teach and educate people. But they ask themselves, how many of them are sincere? They only think about fame and position. How can such a group of people sincerely serve the Ming Dynasty?
"
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. Because of this, these people deserved to be killed!
"Chongba, I know you don't like to hear it. But I also want to tell you that you are the emperor and you want to achieve success. Nowadays, if you want to run a school in Shandong, you need scholars, and you can't immediately create so many qualified people.
There's nothing you can do about using some old Confucians. You killed them all, sir, he wants people from us, does he want you and me to become teaching doctors?"
"That's not bad, we are definitely better than those beasts! Let them control the education, we really don't know how they will organize it?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily. Of course, these were just his angry words.
Again, the Ming Dynasty was not a Trisolaran civilization that suddenly fell from the sky.
There are a considerable number of old elements in Ming's body.
Take the most obvious officials, except for Zhang Ximeng, most of them are officials. They came from the Yuan Dynasty, received education in the Yuan Dynasty, and even hung out in the officialdom of the Yuan Dynasty for many years.
Except for some people such as Song Lian and Liu Bowen, who completely said goodbye to the past, most civil servants were like that.
As for the selection of talents and the promotion of officials in the Ming Dynasty, it was mainly about changing old scholars... Let them reform and pass the new imperial examination, and then enter the officialdom to work. Or hire them as teaching doctors and work in the officialdom.
Play a role in the school.
There is no doubt that these people said goodbye to Dayuan and passed the exam, but no one can say what they really think in their hearts.
Who can know what will happen if you rub it in the dark?
The more Lao Zhu thought about it, the more irritated he became, and the angrier he became, "Sister, you know people, you know faces, but you don't know hearts. I originally thought that as long as we wait a few years, new scholars will be trained, enter the officialdom, and shoulder important responsibilities, and they will be of the same mind as us."
, it will be easier to govern the country in the future. But now that I think about it, these people are teaching students, and a good scripture has been read incorrectly. We, we can guarantee that what they said is what Mr. Zhang meant? So what?
I guarantee that these people will be of the same mind as Ming Dynasty, and if this continues, they will cause endless troubles!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was really anxious because he realized a blind spot.
He longed for the restoration of the Yuan Dynasty, the renewal of all things, and the transformation of the world into a completely different one.
But who could have imagined that there would be such a big hidden danger!
"Sister, tell me, if we have done these things, will it be overturned? By the way, and also, the knowledge that Mr. Zhang has worked so hard to create, will it be tampered with?"
Empress Ma had no choice but to smile bitterly, "Chongba, although I am a womanizer, I also heard from Prime Minister Zhang that Confucius's things have been tampered with a lot, and some of them are even beyond recognition."
"Then, aren't we doing useless work?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he sat down on the ground. Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always been like a bully, was actually confused and helpless. He rushed forward with all his strength, and Mr. Zhang also racked his brains, writing articles, promoting new learning, and cultivating talents.
But after all, they are just two people. Looking around, how many can be trusted?
Facing the borers and ants everywhere, Zhu Yuanzhang really felt helpless.
"Sister, we are panicking now. We, we are really afraid that one day, the Ming Dynasty will forget the intention of our founding of the country and become like Zhao and Song Dynasty, with constant internal fighting, foreign invaders invading, the people are in dire straits, and the officials are greedy and shameless...
…If this is really the case, what should we do?”
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly jumped up and said, "Send a message to Mr. Zhang to return to Beijing as soon as possible. We have something important to tell him!"
Lao Zhu shouted loudly, but Queen Ma slowly stood up and reached out to grab Zhu Yuanzhang's wrist.
"Chongba, things haven't reached that point yet! There are many shameless people in the world. Unreliable scholars are also everywhere... But don't forget that there are sincere gentlemen like Mr. Zhang and Xueshi Liu.
Scholar Song, you are not alone, you still have me!"
Empress Ma's soft words soothed Lao Zhu's heart, and Zhu Yuanzhang gradually calmed down. The matter was indeed not that bad. It could even be said that the signs were discovered earlier, and it was easier to correct them.
But how to deal with regional prejudices, sectarian disputes, and the more realistic competition for interests behind them?
"Chongba, Jiang Nan handed me a letter."
"Her? Why is she writing to you?"
Empress Ma didn't like hearing it anymore, "She helped me manage my property and was considered a confidant of mine. Why not write to me? What's more, she said that Mr. Zhang had already thought of a way, but it was a bit damaging.
"
"What method? Tell us quickly and let us listen! The more damage you do, the better!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait.
"Actually, it's simple. Just follow the example of the Supervisory Army and set up a school inspector."
"Inspector?" Lao Zhu muttered: "Who should I let go?"
"Of course, whoever you trust will go!" Queen Ma said with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. He didn't trust many people. He had to manage so many schools and there were so many people... "We, we know!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh violently and suddenly realized, "It's just like managing a village community. It's enough to select a group of loyal and brave soldiers. It's best to have those who have meritorious service. Let them teach by words and deeds to influence the students and bring students all over the world."
