I want to be a grandson

Chapter 382 Starting from the Competition

The rich can get admission places by paying donations, which is why the regular prison is also called the prison.

Similar to the school-choice students or borrowing fees in later generations, and similar to some countries, as long as you "donate" enough, then you can choose a prestigious school!

As for the wealthy households, the trench gentry can not only let their children study, but also escape the slavery, which can kill two birds with one stone!
Not only can it save money for the family's military service, but if it works well, there will be a way to become an official, so they are very keen to pay for the quota for entering the Imperial College!

Zhu Yunxi asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Do these regular prison students need to pay a lot of money?"

Han Kezhong understood, and immediately stopped the pen in his hand and said: "Your Highness, I think the officials don't pay much, but once they enter the Imperial College, not only do they not have to pay any money, the court will also provide them with clothing and money..."

"Not only provide the prison students with granary meals, but also distribute clothes, bedding, and crown shoes according to the seasons; during seasonal seasons, the prison students will also be rewarded;

"Everyone, if the court is allowed to subsidize frequently, it will inevitably cause a heavy burden on the court, so I feel that the amount of donations for prisons should be increased!"

The old scholar Mr. Gao hesitated and said: "In this way, will others think that the Imperial College is suspected of accumulating money? And they also want to study..."

Han Kezhong hurriedly said: "I don't think there is any need to worry about it. Those who can enter the Imperial Academy are either gifted by His Majesty after meritorious officials, or selected by the court.

And their enrollment is just a donation, but no matter how many donations, how can it be compared with the merits of the heroes and the gift of His Majesty? "

"Besides, if they can easily obtain the quota of the Imperial College, then the Imperial College will become a vulgar thing in their eyes, and they will not cherish it well, and they will not even have much respect for you gentlemen..."

Everyone nodded and did not refute.

Who dares to say that the money donated by those wealthy households is comparable to the emperor's grace?Just keep up with the court's choice?

Isn't that smashing one's own brand, such as the face of the Mo court and the emperor!
Moreover, those wealthy households and gentry just contributed some more money, and it didn't matter to them.

Mr. Gao nodded and asked, "Then from the perspective of Siye, how much should be considered appropriate?"

Han Kezhong said: "I think it's best to be five times the current amount, at least not less than three times!"

"hiss……"

Everyone looked at Han Kezhong with surprise on their faces, and couldn't help but gasped.

Because they felt that Han Kezhong said that the increase in the number of donations should be increased by [-]% to [-]%, but they did not expect it to be three to five times!
Zhu Yuanzhang is also a shrewd person, even if it is to win over the gentry class, he is so kind to them,
Even though His Highness didn't have a lot of money in the early years, he wouldn't make money-losing business either!

And Han Kezhong would increase his performance by three to five times in one sentence, and cutting leeks is not so ruthless!

A doctor asked: "Is this...is this too high?"

But Han Kezhong said: "If it is not high, how can it reflect the importance the imperial court attaches to Guozijian? It can only reflect my honor as the number one school in the world! How can the emperor's grace be so great and honorable!"

Everyone looked at him and didn't know what to say. Anyway, the more expensive it is, the more important it can reflect the importance of time.

Zhu Yunxi said: "The Imperial College and the imperial court didn't care about those donations at all. What they did was to let these scholars cherish the learning opportunities and not to mess around..."

"Since Han Kezhong said so, let's make sure."

"Yes, I obey! Thank you, Your Highness!"

Han Kezhong hurriedly got up and saluted, and wrote this article on the paper as a backup.

It's just that when he lowered his head to write, the expression on his face was a little surprised.

Because His Royal Highness didn't directly say how many times the increase was due to his status, so it must be five times what he mentioned!

But you have to know that if you say five times, it is a space for His Highness to show grace!

In fact, what he really wanted was to increase it by one or two times, and if His Highness wanted to be kind, it would definitely decrease, so he would "struggle with reason", and finally "forced" His Highness to adjust to an appropriate amount.

In this way, His Highness gained a virtuous name, and he himself also gained a good name, wouldn't it be beautiful?
This is also the reason why some officials like to engage in big cases when they encounter matters related to the emperor!
The bigger the matter, the more people involved, the higher the conviction, and the more room for the emperor to manipulate!

If the emperor grants mercy extrajudicially and pardons him, he will gain a lot of hearts!
Even if it was handled impartially, no one would say that the emperor was mean when such a big incident happened, because he deserved what he deserved!

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang played the rebellion case like a fire!
Han Kezhong never expected that His Highness would not follow the routine!

So I had to keep my head down to record, but actually felt a little bit bitter in my heart, because once it got out that I "remonstrated" to increase the donation by five times, wouldn't the gentry hate themselves to death?

Well, it seems that if you want to be a loyal minister, you have to bear a bad name...

Tie Xuan next to him suppressed the expression on his face, trying to keep himself from laughing, thinking, His Highness Hubu Shangshu's nickname is really not for nothing...

As the person involved, Zhu Yunxi is definitely not in a hurry!
Even if the five times the price is too high, it's okay if you can't maximize the benefits, and you can still be kind in the future,

If the setting is relatively low now, how can those wealthy gentry accept their kindness?
Besides, since the wool is squeezed, it must be squeezed hard!

Zhu Yunxi continued: "In addition, those who disturb the school, those who gather to gamble, those who leave the prison without authorization, and those who hang around the fireworks and willow alleys will all be fired!"

"What subjects does the Imperial College now have?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, Guozijian mainly focuses on Confucianism, learning the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as arithmetic, calligraphy, laws and regulations, etiquette, archery, and rhythm..."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "The so-called six arts of a gentleman, one is called five rituals, the other is called six joys, the third is called five shooting, the fourth is called five controls, the fifth is called six books, and the sixth is called nine counting. This is the way to raise the son of a country!"

"This is what Zhou Li said, so I have to wait for it. In the future, every exam will include these. Everyone, please encourage each other!"

"Yes, I will obey!"

They all understood what His Highness meant, that they must learn arithmetic, law, and archery, and they must not slack off!
You must know that in order to take the imperial examination, people will focus on Confucianism, and slowly these things will be abandoned!
Although some people think that these things are not on the table, but His Highness quoted Zhou Li, who can refute?
So they can only say yes honestly, and listen in a well-behaved manner.

Zhu Yunxi asked again: "Punishment will also be imposed on the supervisors who are not good at their studies. I wonder how the Guozijian is now taking the exam?"

Zhao Jijiu replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, the examination is divided into five types: major class, monthly class, regular class, small class and quarterly exam."

"The big class is once a month, and the sun is watched every month. The supervisors, supervisors, priests, and businessmen take turns to set the questions. The monthly class is also once a month. The doctor's office will set the questions and take the exam on the first day of each month."

"Lectures are held twice a month. In the third grade of junior high school, the teaching assistants will set the questions, and in the eighteenth year, Xue Zhengxue will record the questions. Small classes will be given three times a month.

The quarterly examination is held once every three months, and the questions are given in turn by Jijiu and Ye. "

Zhao Jijiu said again: "Your Highness, there are twelve exams a year that are actually counted into students' points. In each exam, those with better scores will get one point, and those with average scores will get half points. Those with poor scores will not get points. Twelve Accumulate the results of each time, and you can upgrade when you reach eight points."

In the Ming Dynasty, the academic assessment of supervising students mainly adopted the integral method, accumulating previous examination results, and when the points reached eight points, one could be promoted or graduated.

Zhu Yunxi thought about it again and again, and said, "Since Zhou Li taught the six arts of a gentleman, and the sage taught us the same way, then the Imperial College must pay attention to it! Otherwise, wouldn't it be disregarding the words of the sage?"

"So all six arts are tested... It's just that the score can be re-divided, and it can be discussed..."

Zhu Yunxi is not prepared to knock Confucianism into the dust all at once. In fact, the real Confucianism is still good, and you must learn it in all aspects.
It's just that in order to cope with the imperial examinations, later generations "keep their ears off the outside world and only read the books of sages".
And even if you abolish Confucianism, what do you use to fill the knowledge of scholars?
Is it Legalism?Or Taoism?

But you must know that once you get involved in the imperial examination, you will become another group of mediocre students!
Even if Zhu Yunxi wants to reform, he has to take his time. This matter is not just an order!

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yunxi ordered: "You post a notice, ten days later there will be an arithmetic competition in the Imperial College, and this king will personally participate. If someone can beat this king, he will be given Wan Guan and a sixth-rank official!"
