Han Du curled his lips, looking disdainful of the Imperial College, and said boredly: "I look down on the knowledge taught by the Imperial College, but I don't look down on learning."
"Oh? Why is this?" Zhu Biao was very surprised by Han Du's statement and asked, "Don't the Imperial College also teach knowledge?"
Han Du shook his head and smiled and said: "The knowledge taught by the Imperial College is mixed with too many personal belongings. It may be suitable for fooling the people, but it is definitely not suitable for strengthening the country and enriching the people. Confucianism has been circulated for more than a thousand years, and it has no influence on the Ming Dynasty and the people.
The role of mathematics, physics and chemistry is not as huge as that of mathematics, physics and chemistry in just a dozen years. From this point of view, it is very illustrative."
The Confucian education Zhu Biao received since he was a child is naturally close to Confucianism. However, he has no way to refute Han Du's words. It is not because he is not biased, but because Confucianism is really too big. Although the Royal Academy has only been established for more than ten years, it has many talented people.
Come out in large numbers.
When it comes to the imperial examination, the Imperial Academy cannot pass the Royal Academy at all. After the Royal Academy took part in the imperial examination for the first time, the Imperial Academy has always compared the Imperial Academy to the point of losing its temper. The best time the Imperial Academy got was second place. Other times,
It is even difficult to produce a first-class Jinshi.
The Royal Academy is extremely successful in the imperial examinations. Every time, the number one scholar is irresistibly chosen by the Royal Academy, and more than half of the scholarship quota is taken up by the Academy, which is about two-thirds to four-fifths.
Look.
However, students in academies are not very enthusiastic about becoming officials. Many people do not even choose to be officials after passing the Jinshi examination. Instead, they stay in the academy or teach and educate people, or study their favorite fields.
Things, or doing experiments to explore the mysteries of heaven, earth, and nature.
Every time there is an imperial examination, there are quite a few successful candidates, but no one is an official. What should be done?
Lao Zhu was so troubled by this that he even wanted to forcibly recruit these people from the academy to serve as officials. However, Han Du, who arrived in time, persuaded him: "Your Majesty, these people stay in the academy to do a job."
The seventh-grade official played a much greater role in the Ming Dynasty."
Then, Han Du carefully explained to Lao Zhu that being an official can only benefit one party, but doing research can benefit all generations.
After all the hard talk, Lao Zhu was finally persuaded.
However, Lao Zhu was also very troubled when he faced the situation of having no official available. He cursed angrily at Han Du: "Then what should I do now? I have no official available, and the court will be in decline."
Faced with this situation, Han Du could only respond with a wry smile. Finally, under Lao Zhu's stern questioning, Han Du had no choice but to agree that after he returned, he would persuade more academic scholars to become officials.
Only then did Lao Zhu let Han Du go.
But even if Han Du repeatedly persuaded everyone to become officials in the academy,
Although it had some effect, some people chose to become officials under Han Du's persuasion. However, the effect was not great, and some people did not listen to Han Du at all.
These people think very clearly that even if they teach in the academy, they can get a monthly salary of twenty guan. But if they become an official, they can only get four guan a month. What's more, there are many opportunities to make money in the academy. If you can participate
If you study some things, such as steam engines, you can simply get rich overnight, buy a house and settle in the capital, marry Bai Fumei, and instantly reach the pinnacle of life.
With such a future, who would care about a seventh-grade official in the imperial court?
Han Du also knew what the problem was, but he couldn't do anything about it. After all, these rules were made by him. He couldn't slap himself in the face and overturn them, right?
Besides, Han Du has just built a mechanical workshop, and there will be a lot of places to employ people in the future. Han Du is also worried that there are too few teachers in the academy and there will not be enough students to teach.
Even if he couldn't care about it, how could Han Du care whether Lao Zhu had anyone serving as an official? After talking to Lao Zhu several times in the academy and giving Lao Zhu an explanation, Han Du put the matter behind him.
Lao Zhu had no choice. Even if some scholars from the academy were willing to serve as officials, the gap in officials was still too big. In the end, Lao Zhu had no choice but to increase the number of Jinshi in each subject. By now, there are no longer 300 Jinshi in each subject.
No, but more than 500 people.
Zhu Biao was also very clear about these situations, so when Han Du spoke, it was difficult for him to refute.
"Although the purpose of Confucianism is to fool and tire the people, it is not suitable for the people of the Ming Dynasty. But for these Annan people, it couldn't be better." Han Du continued, "They have just experienced the Li family.
The rebellion of the Ming Dynasty was broken by the Ming Dynasty. It was the time when they were most confused and could not find their direction. If we preach the Ming Dynasty education to them at this time and let them join the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts, then after two or three generations, they will no longer be able to
No one will remember Annan, and this place truly belongs to the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Fang burst out laughing, shook his head and said, "How slow the education process is. With my king guarding us, these Annan people can't turn the world upside down. It doesn't take two or three generations, and now this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty."
Seeing Zhu Ping's confident look, Han Du sighed: "Although Annan is small, it was once a country. How could it be so easy to destroy the country? The reason why the Annan people have not rebelled against the prince now is because they
Their spiritual support was disturbed by Li's rebellion. Once they wait,
After they recover, Your Majesty can see if they will still be as obedient as they are now."
Zhu Xi said with disdain: "The Annan people are as timid as rats. If they dare to disobey, I will kill one of them, or a pair of them."
Han Du looked at Zhu Ping, who was full of confidence and murderous thinking that he could suppress Annan with a large army, and said helplessly: "Unless the prince wants to kill all the Annan people, how can he defeat the Annan people's unity?"
Zhu Xi was still unconvinced and was about to continue speaking, but was stopped by Zhu Biao with a wave of his hand.
Then Zhu Biao asked Handu: "In your opinion, how can we completely win over Annan's people?"
Han Du nodded secretly with a smile. Zhu Biao's attitude was the true way of an emperor. He was not like Zhu Chong, who would suppress and kill at every turn.
"If you want to destroy your country, you must first destroy its history; if you want to destroy its history, you must first destroy its writing."
Zhu Biao looked startled after hearing this, and then looked at Han Du with a horrified face, and murmured to himself: "If you want to destroy your country, you must first destroy its history. That's right. Once the history is destroyed, then the history will be destroyed."
The people of our country don’t know where they come from, so they can only follow our wishes, just like a rootless tree, they can only be manipulated by others.”
Even Zhu Xi, who had always been fearless, looked at Han Du with a different look. It was not that Zhu Xi had never seen ruthless people in his life, and he even took pleasure in being brave and fighting ruthlessly.
But now he realized that compared with Han Du's methods, the bravery and fierce fighting he was proud of in the past was like a child playing house, which was not interesting at all.
There is no one like Han Du, who smiles all over his face, but can destroy an entire country with just one sentence.
Han Du looked at Zhu Xi and suddenly avoided his gaze, not daring to look at him, and did not care about him. He nodded towards Zhu Biao and said: "That's right, as long as we kill all the scholars in Annan and destroy the history books
Destroyed them all. Then they sent Confucian scholars to teach the Annan people and told them that they were the Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi in the Ming Dynasty. After two or three generations, no one remembered Annan anymore. They only remembered that they were the Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi in the Ming Dynasty.
Secretary's people."
After hearing Han Du's words, Zhu Biao couldn't help but frown, and said reluctantly: "Kill all the scholars in Annan? How many people do you need to kill? No, absolutely not!"
Zhu Biao had a kind heart and decisively refused.
Han Du was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Zhu Biao was still as kind to foreigners as ever.
"Your Highness, those who are not of my race must have a different heart. To these Annan people,
You don't have to be like the people of the Ming Dynasty, right?" Han Du said with a smile.
Zhu Biao's eyes widened and he shouted sharply at Han Du: "How can it be different? Whether it is the people of Ming Dynasty or the people of Annan, they are all living lives."
Seeing that Zhu Biao's kindness was offended again, Zhu Fang simply interrupted him and said: "Brother, wait a moment."
Zhu Biao reluctantly stopped talking and turned to look at his second brother.
Zhu Fang smiled and explained: "Brother Huang may not understand the situation in Annan. There are no scholars in Annan at all now. At first, the Li family rebelled against King Annan, and later they were encircled and suppressed by the army of his younger brothers. The successive turmoils made Annan
All the scholars in the country have died, and the Annan people still alive today are ordinary people."
Han Du was dumbfounded when he heard this. Zhu Ping was simply more ruthless than himself. Even if there were many turmoils, it would be impossible for all the scholars in Annan to die. Not to mention suffering from war, even if they suffered from the plague, that would be the case.
There are very few fish that slipped through the net, how could they all die?
But Zhu Xi said that all of them were dead and no one was alive. Judging from Zhu Xi's attitude, even if there were living people, he could turn them into dead people.
Perhaps Zhu Biao also understood Zhu Xi's attitude, and just sighed and said: "Second brother, it's better not to do it or to take care of yourself."
Originally, Zhu Biao wanted to persuade Zhu Ping not to kill too much. But looking at Zhu Ping's resolute face, and because this was Zhu Ping's fiefdom, even though he, Zhu Biao, was the prince, he did not have the power to forcibly control Zhu Ping.
樉.
If you want to control Zhu Xi, you can only do so by decree from your father.
So, in the end, Zhu Biao didn't say anything more.
After Zhu Biao heard what Zhu Biao said, he bowed to Zhu Biao solemnly and said: "My brother, I also want to ensure the long-term peace and stability of Jiaozhi."
Zhu Biao saw that the fate of the Annan people had been decided, but he could not change anything, so he said angrily: "I hope my second brother will keep his word and let the Annan people live a better life."
"My dear brother, I sincerely follow the teachings of my royal brother!" Zhu Ping bowed respectfully to Zhu Biao.
Seeing his second brother accommodating him so respectfully, the unhappiness Zhu Biao felt just now disappeared. He looked back at Han Du, turned his face to one side, and said with a sneer: "What? I got your wish, why are you not even happy at all?"
Can’t you even see your face?”
Why am I happy? Whether Annan is the territory of the Ming Dynasty or not, and whether it can attract people's hearts, does it have anything to do with me?
Han Du smiled a few times.
"Humph! Go back." Zhu Biao turned to look ahead and said immediately.
