Chapter 560 Second-hand products generally have problems
"You mean, besides the books of sages, scholars need to learn something else?" The prince's expression brightened slightly.
"You are worthy of being a big brother!" Zhu Zhen immediately offered a rainbow fart: "He is so smart, and he can do it all with just one click."
"Stop wearing a high hat on me." The prince laughed and scolded, and then said seriously:
"When it comes to this matter, I won't lie to you. The purpose of the imperial court to recruit scholars is not only to select talents, but more importantly, to give talents from all over the world a chance to rise. Put their intelligence and all their energy into
Stay firmly tied to the imperial examination, so that the world will not be prone to trouble."
"That's why Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty happily said when he saw the world's most successful candidates entering the palace to take the examination." He sighed softly and said, "Now you understand, for the sake of world peace, the imperial examination cannot be stopped.
, Sooner or later, you will have to recover. But scholars can only read the books of sages, and if you try other things to test them, they will not know how."
"They don't know how to study." Zhu Zhen said solemnly: "Anyway, the imperial examination will not be resumed within a few years. They still have time to learn a major."
After a pause, he played his trump card again and said: "I heard from Mr. Liu that the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty included not only Jinshi subjects, but also Ming Jing, Ming Fa, Ming Zi, Ming Suan and other subjects. Since my father regarded the restoration of the Tang system as a
Lord, why did you not learn from the Tang Dynasty during the most important talent promotion ceremony?"
"Is this what the imperial examination was like in the Tang Dynasty?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said: "That seems to be the case, but at that time we heard from Mr. Song and others that in the Tang Dynasty, the Jinshi examination was the most respected, because the other subjects
It's too simple and it's hard to widen the gap, so all the real talents take the Jinshi exam.
"So later on, taking the Jinshi examination became synonymous with taking the imperial examination, and the other subjects were in name only. Therefore, there was no need to take the detour of the past and just set up the Jinshi subject."
"Father, they were deceived by them." Zhu Zhen sneered. He had discussed this issue with Liu Bowen many times, and it was natural to have a clear understanding of it. Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Di listened to his talk:
"The Jinshi subject is indeed the most important subject in the Tang Dynasty, because it is the most difficult and the most valued. But to say that the other subjects are not important and that too few people apply is purely a bad idea of literati——
"My teacher and I have made statistics. In the entire Tang Dynasty, Ming Jing Ke had the largest number of applicants and admissions. There were far more officials from Ming Jing Ke than Jin Shi Ke. How can this be said to be in name only?
"Also, the Ming Law Department mainly examines legal knowledge and selects judicial talents. In addition to being familiar with laws and regulations, candidates must also use these laws and regulations to handle ten specific cases. Judicial talents who can pass both theory and practice can be selected. How can you say it is not important?
Woolen cloth?
"Another example is the Mining Calculation Subject, which mainly tests knowledge of mathematics and astronomy. My father must have a deep understanding of how important it is to select officials who are proficient in calculations, so I don't need to talk too much." Zhu Zhen sighed and said: "I dare to say that these two subjects
What doesn’t matter is either stupid or bad.”
"How could they be stupid? They are the smartest people in the world." Zhu Yuanzhang's words were filled with murderous intent.
"But this problem is too big, so we won't discuss it today." But as soon as he thought about it, he stopped talking. The emperor, who had long been accustomed to controlling everything, did not want to be led around by others, even his own son.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled at Lao Liu and said: "When we know more about it and have a plan in mind, I will ask you to discuss this matter."
"Yes, Father." Zhu Zhen agreed softly. He had no hope now that such a big matter could be persuaded by the old thieves in one go. Maybe in the future, the teacher would have to intervene and lobby repeatedly.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and finally asked: "How many manpower do you think we need to implement the New Deal nationwide?"
"It's quite different." Zhu Zhen thought about it and said: "Almost all the available manpower is in Jiangxi. If we want to implement it nationwide, it will be at least ten times more, right?"
"So many?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. He had suffered from a lack of talents since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he is still troubled by this problem today.
"What if we extend the period, for example, five years to succeed?" The prince asked, "Can we reduce the number of people by half?"
"That's pretty much what it means, but brother, in fact, it takes the same amount of time to train five thousand people as it does to train ten thousand people." Zhu Zhen said softly: "The Yellow Book is remade every ten years, so it is still necessary to cultivate a strong professional team.
. Even in ordinary times, these people are much more powerful than those who just pretend to be useless."
"Ten thousand people..." Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help but fantasize. If there was such a professional team of tens of thousands of people taking orders from him, his control over the Ming Dynasty would be unprecedented in history.
"Would it take the same time to train 5,000 people and 10,000 people?" the prince asked softly.
"This is the role of schools." Zhu Zhen replied: "It is difficult to go from zero to one hundred, and it is also difficult to go from one hundred to one thousand, but as long as the school's education system is set up, these thousand talents are the seeds.
, as long as there is enough soil, tens of thousands of fruits can be produced.”
"We thought so at the beginning, but those people in the Imperial College are, alas, in a mess, and they follow the rules..." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "After all these years, they still haven't taken up the task of supplying talents to the country.
It’s so disappointing.”
Then Zhu Yuanzhang ended the long conversation, patted Lao Liu on the shoulder with satisfaction and said:
"How about it, boss? I didn't expect that the sixth man could see so deeply. So if you don't polish it, it won't be a useful tool. You have to practice it."
"Oh, I'm so ashamed." The prince said with a wry smile: "When I was twenty years old, I still followed everyone else's words and was ignorant. I didn't expect that at this age, the sixth child would already have more knowledge than I did at that time."
Zhu Di was also convinced and said: "During my time in Nanchang with Lao Liu, I also learned a lot."
"It's all my elder brother who taught me well." Lao Liu hurriedly smiled modestly: "When I was eight years old, I was asked to read Zhen Dexiu's works. If I don't show off, wouldn't it be a big disappointment to my elder brother?"
"Hahaha!" The prince happily put his arms around Lao Liu's shoulders and said, "Brother, you really have to thank yourself for your wisdom back then."
"Don't forget, there is also a teacher we have for you." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what was going on, he had to compare this with his son.
"Yes," Zhu Zhen said with a sincere face: "Everything I have is given to me by my father. Without my father, my son will have to earn a living for the rest of his life, and he will not be able to become the leader of the Beggar Clan."
"No matter how good the words are, they will change the taste in your mouth." Zhu Yuanzhang slapped him on the back angrily and said: "Go back and have a good rest, but there is still something to do before the year - four years with you.
Brother, please hurry up and submit the list of merit requests. If we can make it in time, we will announce them together on New Year's Day."
The two brothers looked at each other and smiled. Zhu Di took out a memorial form from his sleeve and said with a smile: "Father, it has been prepared a long time ago."
"It seems that these two brats made a lot of wishes." Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a smile and took the memorial.
