Chapter Seven hundred and thirtieth: I can't see others' kindness

Emperor Chongzhen straightened his body and then said to Zhong Jinwei: "In the eyes of the secular world, being an official is a deep-rooted idea. Therefore, as long as the family can support studying for the imperial examination, they will usually choose the imperial examination. After all, there are more research institutes and the like

It's similar to craftsmanship, and it's difficult for them to accept it in a short period of time."

"But to be honest, I know that most people cannot always support their children to study. If there is this scholarship, then these people will see the hope of continuing to study. And because the imperial court has absorbed outstanding talents, it will also

It can better strengthen the strength of the institute."

"In this way, even if a new way out has just emerged, many scholars will choose to take the path of graduate school. After it has been implemented for a period of time and people's concepts have changed, scholars who take the path of graduate school will only

More. Master Zhong, is that so?"

Zhong Jinwei nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Emperor Chongzhen was right, this was his intention. After all, he was born as a researcher when he took the path of a research institute, not as a serious official like a county magistrate. The changes in folk thinking

No matter how much it takes time.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhong Jinwei nodding, he knew he was right. He said again with excitement: "In addition to providing scholarships for the institute, the imperial court can also exempt him from hard labor so that he can concentrate on his studies. Master Zhong, how about this?"

"

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Your Majesty is so considerate that I have forgotten about it."

After all, he is not from the Ming Dynasty, and is not as familiar with the ancient system as the ancients. There will be no labor in later generations, but labor had a great impact on the people in ancient times. Emperor Chongzhen's move will further stimulate the people to go to the institute

this road.

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he heard Zhong Jinwei praising him, but he pretended to have an indifferent expression on his face. He thought for a moment and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Master Zhong, the discussion just now is very important to me, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty. I

Send Wen Qing over to discuss it carefully and see how to implement it?"

"I think so too. It will be even safer if the mature and prudent Mr. Wen is in charge." Zhong Jinwei nodded in agreement.

There was no way the cabinet could get around such a big matter. And Zhong Jinwei was not so big-hearted as not to let others express his suggestions, so as soon as Emperor Chongzhen said it, he immediately agreed.

Not long after, Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, was summoned to the Wenhua Hall to meet him.

As soon as he entered the Wenhua Hall and saw that there was only one Zhongxinghou in the palace, he knew that Zhongxinghou might have some evil idea. Because generally, he would go to the cabinet first and then go up to heaven to listen. Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was important or difficult to

After solving the problem, he would go find Marquis Zhongxing. But now that he knew that such a thing had not happened, it was natural that Marquis Zhongxing had some ideas.

Sure enough, when Emperor Chongzhen saw Wen Tiren coming, he told Wen Tiren the situation and suggestions just mentioned by Zhong Jinwei.

Wen Tiren was actually aware of the situation in the Imperial College, but based on the inertia inherited from previous dynasties, he had never paid much attention to the Imperial College's attitude before.

But after hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, he realized the shortcomings of the past. Especially in the past two years, most of the officials who came from the imperial examination were rhetoricians, but the research institute was prosperous and made a lot of money for the court.

The cost of his pen made him feel the importance of being a practical researcher.

Therefore, Wen Tiren naturally welcomed this suggestion put forward by Zhong Jinwei. After all, this opened up another way, which was beneficial to the people of the Ming Dynasty in any case.

But there was one thing he still wanted to add. He suggested to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I think this method is very good and I will not change the original imperial examination system. It will not be difficult to implement it. But there is one thing.

I thought it might be better to change it appropriately!”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he quickly asked: "Wen Qing, which point is it?"

Zhong Jinwei nodded secretly on the side. Jiang was still hot as ever. As soon as Wen Tiren came, he had ideas for improvement.

"Your Majesty, I think it is not very appropriate to exempt scholars who take the research path from hard labor. Because of this, the imperial court will obviously favor the research institute type among the two types of scholars. And now all the officials in the imperial court came from the imperial examination.

, when people from research institutes do not have enough influence, they will inevitably be opposed.”

Zhong Jinwei listened to Wen Tiren's explanation and was a little puzzled. He asked with some confusion: "Master Wen, why does the court obviously favor scholars who pursue research institutes?"

But Emperor Chongzhen was thoughtful and basically understood what Wen Tiren was referring to.

Wen Tiren smiled, stretched out his hand and raised two fingers, and explained to Zhong Jinwei: "Nowadays, scholars in the Ming Dynasty, as long as they are scholars or above, they can be exempted from hard labor and given lumi to concentrate on studying for the imperial examination. The biggest benefit of this is that

He is exempted from hard labor, but his rice is not much."

"If scholars who pursue the path of graduate school can be exempted from hard labor and receive scholarships, they will naturally feel that their own interests have been violated. They do not want others to be kind to others. This is still a potential problem in today's world.

bad habits.”

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he couldn't help but be impressed. Wen Tiren's grasp of people's hearts is indeed very powerful. What he said will still exist even in later generations.

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and asked: "Wen Qing, do you mean to exempt him from hard labor?"

Wen Tiren looked at Emperor Chongzhen, shook his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, this labor service must be exempted. After all, it would be too wasteful for people who study and do knowledge to work like ordinary people."

"What should I do?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't figure it out. Wen Tiren's words seemed inconsistent.

Zhong Jinwei was the same. He didn't understand what Wen Tiren meant, so he had to look at Wen Tiren and wait for him to explain further.

"Your Majesty, since the institute has money, it can increase the amount of scholarships so that outstanding scholars can use their scholarships to avoid labor and make them rich enough to study. In this way, others will have nothing to say.

"Wen Tiren smiled and said his improvement method.

Zhong Jinwei listened on the side and applauded Wen Tiren: "This method is very wonderful. Everyone knows that the research institute makes money. But this is the money earned by the institute itself, not allocated by the court. In this way, those psychological

Dark people will have no reason to object."

"Okay, let's do it like this." Emperor Chongzhen also smiled, happy that Wen Tiren had perfected this measure.

Therefore, the three of them reorganized the second career path of Ming Dynasty scholars. After feeling that the plan was thorough, they began to hold expanded meetings to implement this matter step by step.

What the three of them did not expect was that this move would later become the choice of most scholars, and it would also provide a steady stream of high-quality talents for various research institutes, keeping Ming's research and creation capabilities at the forefront of the world.

It provided the strongest support for Ming Dynasty, the world's most powerful country.
