As long as a person without any fame can become a teacher, he will be on an equal footing with a seventh-grade official. If this kind of thing really happened, I don't know how many officials would make a fuss.
Lin Fandao: "Your Majesty, don't panic, I have another solution here, that is to invite the disciples of the great Confucians first and give them priority, how about that?"
"No! Doing this will only make them feel that I am humiliating them."
Emperor Chongzhen refused again.
Lin Fan sighed helplessly and complained in his heart: "Alas! This old guy is so hesitant in doing things, no wonder he has managed the imperial court in such a mess."
"You have integrity, but how many officials in the DPRK and China have integrity?
Can Qi Festival be used as food?
If you don’t want to do something practical, you’re just caring about face.”
After hearing Lin Fan's complaints, Emperor Chongzhen hesitated a little. Could it be that what Lin Fan said was really feasible?
Although there will be obstacles during the implementation process, once it is successful, the benefits will be endless!
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, then this education reform can only be put on hold for the time being."
Lin Fan said.
"Fan'er, if you do this, maybe it can be done."
Emperor Chongzhen said.
kindness!
“Is this old boy’s head full of horse shit?
If you actually let yourself do this, isn't it obvious that all the people will become your disciples?"
"No! Is this kid trying to pave the way for his ascension to the throne?
Tsk tsk! He still looks like a father."
Lin Fan thought in his heart.
On the surface, he smiled and said: "If I were to handle this matter, I wouldn't be able to teach the people in the world to read and write."
"Then what are you going to do?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked.
"Reading and writing should naturally start from childhood, so that all children can read and write. In this way, in just ten years, the literacy rate of our Ming Dynasty can reach 30%."
Lin Fan said.
"What does cultural penetration rate mean?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked.
"The literacy rate refers to the popularity rate of reading and writing. Thirty percent means that out of every 100 people, 30 people can read and write."
Lin Fan said.
this!
Emperor Chongzhen was shocked. You must know that in today's Ming Dynasty, less than one hundred people can read and write, and almost all of them are illiterate.
Even among the Jin Yiwei, there are some who are just good at martial arts and can be said to be the ultimate in reading and writing.
"Moreover, I also want to make some reforms to the difficulty of the imperial examination."
Lin Fan said.
"Fan'er, you can't mess around with the imperial examination. It was a system that our ancestors and the great scholars in the court perfected after countless days and nights."
"If you blindly lower the difficulty, the imperial court can promote more people when selecting talents, but are those talents still real talents?"
Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, do you think the current imperial examinations select talents?"
Lin Fan asked in a deep voice.
this……
Emperor Chongzhen was stunned at that time. Yes, are the current imperial examinations selecting talents?
"This old guy doesn't even know what the problem is. The current imperial examination selects Confucian scholars, people who have learned Confucianism to their core."
"Such a person is very good at writing and writing, but he doesn't know how to govern a country. Otherwise, would the Ming Dynasty be bullied into such a bad state by the slaves?"
"Back then, Li Shimin's 3,000 Xuanjia troops were able to defeat the Turks. What about your side?
One hundred thousand soldiers are no match for the 70,000 or 80,000 Turks, so this is not a problem with the soldiers, but a problem with the generals."
"If some real generals cannot be promoted quickly, the Ming Dynasty will soon face the problem of having enough generals but not suitable generals to lead them."
Lin Fan thought in his heart.
Snap!
Emperor Chongzhen was previously holding a folding fan in his hand, but now it fell to the ground with a clatter. Fan'er actually saw things so clearly!
Emperor Chongzhen wanted to cry at this moment. He was arrogant and most considerate of the people, but he was the most confused emperor.
How many years has it made me happy to say that "our people are temporarily tired for one year"?
However, this sentence did not allow the people to live a good life. Instead, it made it impossible for the people to live and forced them to revolt.
After Lin Fan became the commander of the Jinyi Guards, he directly attacked the officials he did not dare to touch. Once his homes were ransacked, the military expenses were enough. The second time he ransacked their homes, the court became rich.
This shows what?
This shows that the most fundamental problem of the Ming Dynasty is that the root is broken. Therefore, if we want to make the Ming Dynasty better, we can only change it from the root. The imperial examination is one of the links.
"Your Majesty, why did you throw away the fan? Don't you know that littering everywhere is shameful?"
As Lin Fan said this, he picked up the folding fan and stuffed it into his breast pocket.
"Chongzhen's fan is very finely made and is gold-plated. The paintings on the fan are all made of gold threads. It belongs to me!"
Lin Fan thought in his heart.
In future generations, this fan could be sold for at least one or two billion.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard Lin Fan's thoughts, he was filled with hatred. This fan was his treasure, and the painting was painted by a famous contemporary artist.
never mind!
This kid has been stuffed into my arms, so just give it to him.
"Fan'er, what you said makes sense, but it's not convenient for me to intervene directly in this matter. However, things have to be done step by step. You must first finish the matter of popularizing culture, and then you can start preparing for the imperial examination.
"
"Don't worry, my father will do his best to help you."
Emperor Chongzhen said.
Lin Fan said: "Thank you very much, Father."
Emperor Chongzhen was very pleased after hearing this. This was probably the first time that Lin Fan willingly called himself his father.
"By the way, my father heard that you were attacked and killed a few days ago and almost died outside. Did those people catch you?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked.
He didn't want to ask about this kind of thing. After all, Lin Fan was in charge of the Jinyi Guards and 300,000 troops. If he couldn't solve the problem, he couldn't solve it either.
But as a father, Emperor Chongzhen still wanted to ask him personally.
Lin Fan said: "This matter is more difficult. The person who killed me is a person in heaven and earth. Moreover, it was someone from the Gong Loser who did it to me. I am looking for the person from the Gong Loser."
"Well! Is he the public loser among the various schools of thought?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked.
"That's right, it's the public loser from the various schools of thought. They are hiding very deep. If you want to find them out, it may be impossible in a short time."
Lin Fan said.
"I will also help you investigate. You must be careful in the future and never go out of the city alone."
Emperor Chongzhen said.
"Father, don't worry, I will definitely be careful. I will definitely take my royal guards with me when I go out of the city."
Lin Fan said.
"Well, with your words, my father can rest assured. Fan'er, you must protect yourself."
