First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 100

Zhu Biao marched all the way to a hundred miles away from the city of Nanjing, but the sky was already dark, so Zhu Biao ordered to set up camp.

A few scouts were dispatched to report to Nanjing, and the teachers will return to the DPRK tomorrow morning!

With such a great victory, the imperial court must take care of it, and only then will the battle report be circulated to the world. Now, in the entire Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that [-]% of the people still do not know the news of their prince's expedition, let alone Feng Langjuxu. something.

After Zhu Biao and Zhu Di had dinner, they returned to their tent, thinking about the matter after returning to Beijing.

Population development is actually not too difficult. After all, the world is stable. The instinct of our nation is to cultivate and reproduce, but Zhu Biao is thinking about the issue of education.

In later generations, China has been able to develop rapidly and take off. Literacy and compulsory education have played a great role. If you know that even when the People's Republic of China was founded, nearly [-]% of the people in the whole country did not know one big character.

It's just that compulsory education is absolutely impossible. Even if Daming is sold, there will not be so many educational resources, and educational resources are still the smallest problem.

The imperial power does not go to the countryside, and the control over the countryside is very poor. If it really wants to be implemented, it can only be implemented by the licheng and the country gentry. This is the efficiency...

The poor and rich are rich in martial arts. On the surface, it doesn’t cost a lot of money to learn literature, but pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and classics and history all cost money. In ancient times, these things were still very expensive. No matter how cheap a brush is, can it be cheaper than a pencil?If you let the public bear the burden, and many people are not full for three meals, they still have to pay royal rations, how could it be possible to pay for it?

There is also money to hire teachers, so the government can only pay for it. The problem is that the investment is too large and the output is too slow.

Where do so many teachers come from?Compulsory education for all requires a large number of teachers. In ancient times, there were very few scholars. The way to ascend was to become an official in the imperial examination, or to be an aide, a teacher, or a private school teacher, but whenever possible, they would not be such volunteer teachers.

Moreover, there is uneven fatness and thinness across the country, more developed areas study literature, and poorer areas study less literature. I'm good at Suzhou and Hangzhou, and I don't want to go to Guizhou?

Compulsory education is only guaranteed by legislation in modern poverty-stricken areas. Why?Poor, the child is still a labor force. If you want to study, you will be out of labor, which means that you have one less labor force, and you have to support you. Not many people are willing.

Unless the government is responsible for the children's meals, this will not only allow them to study literature, but also save a mouthful of food for the family, why not?The problem is that the government can't do it.

Zhu Biao couldn't sleep, so he said to the outside: "Please come here, Uncle Cheng."

After a while, Liu Bowen walked in, Zhu Biao stood up to greet him, and Liu Bowen sat on the stool beside him and said, "Your Highness has just established an immortal career, why are you still worried?"

Zhu Biao sat on the couch and said, "Deeds are a thing of the past, and it's not too late to cherish them when you are old. This palace wants to ask Mr., is there a way to broaden the wisdom of the people?"

Liu Bowen stroked his beard and said, "Since ancient times, the world has been trying to implement the tactics of fooling the people. Why does His Highness want to broaden the wisdom of the people? This is not good for the stability of the country."

In fact, Zhu Biao also understands that in his position, he should vigorously promote the strategy of ignoring the people. The most basic people are just tools and do not need to have their own ideas.

From the point of view of feudal rulers, they prefer that the people are ignorant and ignorant, stay at a certain stage, and farm the land with peace of mind.

In ancient times, the matching of imperial autocracy must be thought control and ignorant rule.

The divided country has achieved great unity through war and annexation. At this time, it is guaranteed that the family and the country will continue forever, and the imperial power is supreme, which is the core interest of the regime. What kind of culture is prosperous, science and technology are developed, people are happy, etc., everything Everything has to be compromised for this benefit.

What the imperial power wants is the people who are obedient and like tools. If the popular ideological trend is allowed to overflow, the folk ideology is active, and the talents are produced in large numbers, the various administrative measures of the government are often riddled with doubts and speculations by various folk gods. Shake the authority of the government and affect the foundation of governance.

The mouth of defending the people is better than defending the river!

Zhu Biao frowned and pondered for a while, and said, "Opening up people's wisdom has disadvantages in the present, but in the long run, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Now it's not like the previous generation, not to mention the countries outside the ocean, even the surrounding small countries are also there. Continuous development, if it continues to be self-defeating, I am afraid it will leave disaster to future generations."

Liu Bowen looked at Zhu Biao and said, "His Royal Highness is digging the foundation of his own family. Neither courtiers nor His Majesty will support it."

Only then did Zhu Biao let out a wry smile. This is the biggest difficulty. If Zhu Biao really did this, he would be betraying the interests of the landlord class he belongs to.

But if you don't do this, Daming will still have to go the old way, and now it can be said that the landlord class is at its weakest.

After a few decades, the current noble ministers will form a stable interest group. As the leader of this group, the emperor does not matter how many people he kills, but if he wants to overthrow this class, he will be betrayed by everyone.

Zhu Biao glanced at Liu Bowen and said, "How do you think about this, Mr.

Liu Bowen stroked his beard and said, "For the country, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but for the country, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages!"

Liu Bowen stood up and bowed to Zhu Biao to persuade: "His Royal Highness, Rong Chen said something from the bottom of his heart, no matter whoever thinks of himself and his family first, it's the country's turn after all these are considered!"

Seeing that Zhu Biao didn't speak, Liu Bowen continued: "Even if your Majesty agrees to this matter, but the specific policy still needs to be implemented by local officials. Does His Majesty think they will do it well?"

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "Thank you so much for your advice, Mr.

Liu Bowen withdrew as soon as he bowed. He also came from an aristocratic family. Otherwise, where would he have the opportunity to study as a jinshi?

Zhu Biao lay back on the couch and looked at the top of the tent, feeling inexplicably lonely, no one would support him.

Zhu Biao was a little stunned. It was obviously the right thing, but everyone would not support it. Liu Jin, who was waiting on the side, carefully covered him with a quilt.

Zhu Biao turned to look at Liu Jin, what if he relied on Jinyiwei and Dongchang?

The idea that had just started was smashed by Zhu Biao himself. The establishment of a secret agency that can supervise the world is the sole authority of the emperor, not a prince.

Besides, it is not enough to rely on one department to deal with one class.

What about supporting the merchant class?Capitalism?

Zhu Biao shook his head, it would be better to be honest, Zhu Biao didn't want his descendants to be sent to the guillotine.

...............

The next day, Zhu Biao got up and put on the golden armor, and led the army to return to the court. When he was about ten miles away from Nanjing, Zhu Biao had already seen a large group of people standing in the distance. It seemed that there were tens of thousands of people.

The civil and military officials headed by Li Shanchang were all waiting outside the city early. Zhu Yuanzhang issued an decree yesterday, ordering the civil and military officials to bring the people out of the city ten miles to welcome the crown prince's triumph!

When Zhu Biao led the generals to approach, there was a burst of quaint music behind Baiguan, which was a unique joy of triumph.

The officials headed by Li Shanchang and the people behind them knelt down and congratulated Zhu Biao: "Chen wait to welcome General Tian Ce to make a triumphant tribute, and return to court after victory! I congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for destroying Beiyuan, seal the wolf, and stand down. Qianqiu great cause!"

After Baiguan finished speaking, the crowd behind them began to shout in unison: "General Tiance is mighty, His Royal Highness is mighty!"

Zhu Biao smiled and waved them to get up, then dismounted and bowed to Nanjing City, and then exchanged a few words with Li Shanchang and others.

Li Shanchang smiled and said to Zhu Biao: "The Holy High is very happy to hear the news of His Highness's class teacher returning to the dynasty. Now the Holy High is waiting for you on the city wall of Nanjing City."

When Zhu Biao heard this, he felt a lot warmer in his heart. He inexplicably remembered that when Zhu Biao led a hundred officials and greeted Zhu Yuanzhang's triumph outside Nanjing a few years ago, Zhu Biao wanted to know how his father and emperor felt now.

　I cut out a lot of words, and I feel a little distressed, but they are mixed with too much of my personal stuff, and they are not suitable for writing in the book.

　　Let's all vote for a recommendation
