Eight hundred and seventieth chapters go to the sky
Don’t waste your time, don’t waste your Ming Dynasty!
This is Zhang Shuning's expectation for his students, and it is not a requirement for himself.
He believes that behind a great country, there must be a great ideal to support it. Only in this way can the hearts of hundreds of millions of people be united.
In today's Ming Dynasty, the biggest common denominator is justice, fairness and equal opportunity.
Although the Ming Dynasty is also actively exploring, using overseas wealth to fill holes, develop industry and commerce, and accumulate wealth. But in Zhang Shuning's opinion, the best way to truly accumulate wealth is to inspire everyone's enthusiasm and let everyone work hard and do their best.
The only way we can make the Ming Dynasty strong quickly is in this way.
When it comes to national development, Zhang Shuning and Zhu Di are completely different from each other and have completely different ideas. Zhu Di is focused on thinking of solutions from outside.
Just last year, he took his fleet south to Old Port and established the Old Port Propaganda Department.
Moreover, based on the old port, Zhu Di radiated to the surrounding areas, including Java, Srivijaya, Chenla, Champa and other places, all of which were included in Zhu Di's sphere of influence.
It is worth mentioning that Zhu Di also quickly discovered the way to get money, which was an astonishing amount of spices.
That's right, Zhu Di began to frantically transport various spices to the Ming Dynasty, ship after ship. With Zhu Laosi's efforts, the people of the Ming Dynasty were finally able to eat cheap spiced edamame.
You must know that spices have been very expensive for a long time. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, when officials were given salaries, pepper and star anise were used to top up the salary.
Now the expensive spices have finally reached the common people.
On the other hand, Lao Zhu and Zhu Xiongying are also cultivating peanuts. Soon, the flowers and hairs will occupy the wine tables all over the country.
The world is in a state of rapid progress, new things are constantly emerging, and there is a rare prosperity everywhere.
A large number of overseas barbarian businessmen and scholars filled it.
Regardless of whether it was north or south, no one would have the slightest doubt. Even the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty was just like this.
What is missing in the Ming Dynasty at this moment?
In other words, how did the prosperous Tang Dynasty come to an end because of the Anshi Rebellion?
Zhang Shuning is not completely clear about this. Perhaps his father can give a relatively objective answer. But having an answer does not mean that it can be avoided.
When a country is advancing rapidly and vigorously, it will inevitably absorb countless lands, annex many tribes, expand its territory in the fringe areas of the country, and absorb many groups that have little sense of belonging to the country.
This has made the country huge, but also laid the foundation for the country's decline.
For example, the Hu people like An Lushan were recruited by the Tang Dynasty and became generals with great authority. Later, when they saw that the imperial court was weak and unable to restrain them, they resolutely raised their troops and challenged the imperial court.
Did the Tang Dynasty really solve the Anshi Rebellion?
It seems that all the leaders of the rebel army were killed, and the world returned to the hands of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It was indeed pacified... But if you look closely, you will find that An Lushan and Shi Siming are dead, but the second-rate rebel generals
, but still exists, and has been granted an official position such as Jiedu Envoy, and still controls the place.
The old vassal forces were not eradicated, but new vassal towns were added. From then on, the military forces became even more difficult to contain.
So much so that the prestige of the emperor was gone, and the local vassals controlled everything, just like local emperors one after another. In the end, the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and the emperor only had strong soldiers and horses!
The order completely collapsed and the world was in chaos. The long-term impact is simply incalculable.
Zhang Shuning didn't want to discuss too much history. He always felt that in places like Beiping, including the southwest controlled by chieftains, it would be difficult to ensure that these places would remain loyal and loyal without thorough enlightenment and complete changes.
Don't give up.
The sign of successful education is that the young talents in these places can pass the examination, enter the court as officials, and reach the corresponding position, having their own say in this huge country.
Only in this way can we win over people's hearts.
Moreover, Zhang Shuning also had another idea. This kind of promotion of young talents must not be a matter of the emperor forcibly promoting someone to the court because he likes someone, nor can it simply be a matter of selecting a few loyal chieftains.
This kind of extensive and fair examination must be sufficiently convincing both internally and externally.
These are some principles he learned while teaching in Longchang.
This time he will implement his ideas.
Zhang Shuning led his students to Xingzi County, where they were preparing to take the Jimin Academy exam.
Their arrival has already alarmed many people.
For example, Zhang Shuning's classmate Jing Qing, who stayed at the school after graduation, revealed the complete details of Jimin Academy.
"You don't know, our mountain chief Liu Sanwu has been frightened... He is afraid of repeating the same mistake as Fudan School. He is too young to be in good health. So he told us early that he must conduct the entrance exam safely this time.
, all questions and examination papers must stand the test so that no one can find fault. Only in this way can we convince the public!"
Zhang Shuning smiled slightly, "Brother Jing, do you think it's fair now? We traveled all the way over the mountains and ridges, worked hard, and spent a lot of time on the road to come here to take the exam. We can't say that we are taking advantage of the students in Jiangxi.
Bar?"
Jing Qing was stunned, and smiled helplessly: "You still don't know what's going on? In recent years, places like Guizhou and Guangxi, including Yunnan, have not produced many students... According to the rules of Jimin Academy, a province has to come out
Only ten or more students can set up separate test centers. Otherwise, they would go to war and travel thousands of miles with the test papers. If it is leaked in the middle, it will be troublesome, and no one can afford the consequences!"
Zhang Shuning chuckled and said, "Senior brother, you still don't understand what this regulation means? Go to the Hanlin Academy and have a look. Are there any top three scholars who are also Jinshi?"
Jing Qing's face turned red, "You don't tell the truth when you see it, and if you think it's inappropriate, why don't you tell the grand master? Ask him for help?"
Zhang Shuning shook his head and said: "Is it too much to ask my father for everything? And there are not enough candidates to set up a separate examination center. This is a matter of course. I will not let my father embarrass me, and I am full of confidence this time.
!”
Jing Qing was startled, "Junior brother, are you really confident that you will win ten places?"
Zhang Shuning chuckled, "It's not ten, it's thirty!"
"Thirty!" Jing Qing was shocked, "Junior brother Zhang, don't blow your mind!"
Zhang Shuning laughed, "The students I brought here this time include students from Guizhou, as well as students from Guangxi and Yunnan. We want to secure three test centers for these three provinces!"
Jingqing was stunned, what a huge ambition!
To this day, Jiangxi still accounts for half of the places in Jimin Academy. The other major cultural and educational provinces, including Yingtian, can divide 40%, and the remaining 10% is divided among other provinces, including Korea and Japan.
People will come to Jimin School to take the exam.
In places like Guizhou, no one has been able to pass the exam in so many years. The situation in Guangxi is similar. In the best year of Yunnan, only three people were admitted to Jimin School. They can already celebrate with gongs and drums.
It is not that difficult to pass 30 people at once, and more than 10 people from each province.
"Junior Brother Zhang, if this doesn't happen, you can talk to the Grand Master and take extra care of me. What do you think?"
Zhang Shuning laughed and shook his head, "No need! I just want to be as fair as possible in the examination questions, and don't use things that students in remote areas don't understand to confuse things! In addition, I believe in the intelligence of my students and the people in the world.
There’s no difference!”
Jingqing was speechless. He finally understood what Liu Sanwu was worried about.
In the past few years, Zhang Shuning has been fighting wits and courage with the person who asked the question. He has a clear understanding of everything from the Ministry of Education to various schools.
Even though he didn't ask Taishi Zhang to come forward, whoever dares to resort to tricks will provoke more than just the wrath of thunder. The unlucky time at Fudan Academy has not yet recovered.
If something went wrong, Liu Sanwu would definitely die.
But if you think about it carefully, students from these backward areas are so lucky to have Zhang Shuning here, at least no one dares to play dirty tricks.
They worked hard, got up early and went to bed late, put in several times the hard work, traveled over mountains and ridges, and walked for more than two months to take the exam. If the most basic fairness cannot be guaranteed, what a disappointment it would be!
So, come on!
The day of the examination finally arrived. Zhang Shuning got up early, carried a lantern, and sent the students outside the examination room. Then he watched them enter the examination room one by one.
Similarly, there are more people who also send their children here.
They were not so friendly to this team from the southwest. On the contrary, some of them had poison in their eyes, as if they had been robbed of something.
Some people are even saying, "A bunch of kids from the mountains are embarrassing themselves here, can you pass the exam? Isn't it good to just waste money and feed sheep and pigs at home?"
Zhang Shuning knew this very well. He even wanted to laugh three times. Some people were impatient and cursed. This proved that he was doing the right thing!
If you don't touch other people's interests and don't make them feel the crisis, why would they scold you?
Therefore, scolding is sometimes a higher level of encouragement!
In two days, the exam ended successfully.
After another ten days, the results finally came out!
A total of forty-three students passed the examination from the three southwestern provinces!
Among them, there were 17 from Guizhou, 16 from Yunnan, and only 10 from Guangxi, and one of them was ranked last. He barely passed the exam, but in any case, he passed the exam.
"Starting from next year, there will be test centers in Guizhou, Guangxi, and Yunnan! Your juniors no longer have to travel thousands of miles to take the exam! You are the heroes of your hometown!" Zhang Shuning said excitedly to the students:
"In the next month, I will take you to Yingtian... everyone! Go and see the capital of the Ming Dynasty!"
After a brief silence, thunderous cheers erupted among the students... Perhaps it was only at this moment that the Southwest finally felt at home!
