eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 35 Do it!
East Palace, Xiefang Palace.

Wang Jia, who was dressed in a blue official robe, was sitting and discussing with the crown prince.

Wang Jia is a contemporary celebrity, and he also has a certain status in the hearts of students all over the world.

If you want to have articles, you need to be moral and moral, you need to have official positions, especially recently, you have been ordered to serve the crown prince, and you have been in the limelight for a while.

"...His Highness's worries are not unreasonable. However, Xiaomin's family always hopes to have a seed of study, to serve the country, and to shine in the lintel. If there is a little fame, it is worthwhile to pay more."

Zhu Houzhao chatted with him like this, or it was a kind of guidance.

"But the salary of the imperial court is not high. It seems that the shopkeeper spent a lot of money to support his four sons to study. Even if he is awarded a Jinshi, will his life be better? Or, if he becomes an official, he will have a way to get money?"

Wang Jia thought to himself, the crown prince is smart after all.This question is... well enough.

"Your Highness' words are thought-provoking. In the imperial court...it is true that some officials are involved in corruption. However, the imperial examination has been the national policy of all dynasties since the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It not only selects talents for the imperial court, but also gives people all over the world a chance to serve the country. .”

"That's the reason. If it weren't for the imperial examination, I wouldn't have met Mr. Wang today."

What the crown prince said was easy and funny, and Wang Jia also smiled along with him.It's just a discussion anyway.

Zhu Houzhao added: "However, I am also thinking...the imperial court does not need so many scholars. No matter how big the world is, there will always be fewer officials than the people. The scholars should be treated preferentially, which is the right thing to do. But those who read What about those who don’t register? They are also citizens of Daming, and they should be the majority, right?”

Wang Jia pondered the point of these words.

He couldn't figure out what the crown prince wanted to say, "Your Highness, what do you understand?"

"It's just ignorant. I just feel that those who can't pass the imperial examination are really pitiful. Like this shopkeeper, I am old and my son can't pass the imperial examination. How will life be better in the future?"

Wang Jia thought to himself, Your Highness is really a benevolent gentleman!I can't get enough!

Because he never thought about it himself.

"Besides, I want to set up this medical palace this time. Many people have told me that the lack of medicine for the common people is not because there are few doctors, but because of poverty. Let me ask again, why are you poor? The three adults, Li, Xie, are all the pillars of the country. The palace sees them as honest and diligent, and their father is also exhausted every day, forgetting to eat and sleep. Under such circumstances, there are still people in the country who are poor. , and how to do it?"

"If the emperor can't do it, how can I do it? If Mr. Xu can't do it, Mr. Wang, do you have the confidence to beat Mr. Xu?"

This is a comparison between Wang Jia and Xu Pu. No matter how arrogant Wang Jia is, how dare he confidently say that he is stronger than the current chief assistant?
So the answer to this question is clear,
The crown prince's worries are also normal: what can't be done by the emperor and Xu Shoufu, you and I are not as good as them, what can we do in the future?
Wang Jia opened his mouth slightly in shock, he never imagined that the prince would have such deep thoughts and deep worries.

Faced with this profound question, Wang Jia could only kneel down, "I am incompetent, and His Highness is so worried!"

"Hey, Mr. Wang doesn't have to be like this. Get up quickly. Today is just you and me talking in our free time. Besides, I haven't finished talking yet. You should get up and listen first."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Wang Jia also became very serious.
It should be said to be one of the most serious moments of his life.

These issues have never been analyzed in this way, especially when they are related to the immediate interests of the people.

"Continuing what I just said...Mr. Wang, let's talk about the young man I met that day who had no money to treat the sick. If he wanted to treat his mother, he had to find a job. Otherwise, who would pay him?"

"What Your Highness said is very true."

"But he was born in a poor family, where did he learn the skills to make a living?"

Hearing this, Wang Jia finally had an idea,

"That's why His Highness wants to build a medical palace?!"

"That's right. Mr. Wang thinks about it. Nowadays, there is a shortage of doctors among the people, and there are many poor people who can't make a living. Everything is inferior. Only high-level studies, a young man's entrance to a university, and the number one scholar is naturally a joy in life, but the number one scholar every three years. There is only one year, so what about the rest? Besides, the imperial court not only needs scholars, but the whole world cannot be full of scholars.”

"The imperial court also needs farmers, otherwise what will I eat? It needs people who weave and make clothes, otherwise what will you and I wear? It needs doctors, so it can be healed when it is sick. It needs excellent generals and soldiers, so it can resist foreign enemies. It even needs A professional official... is that Yang Tinghe, I asked him to be the magistrate, I don't know how he is doing!"

Yang Tinghe: "..."

Speaking of which,
How could Wang Jia not understand the crown prince's thoughts?
"Your Highness means that the court wants to find a way out for those who fail to study."

Yes, it would be scary if a failed scholar rebelled.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, "That's the case. Besides, Mr. Wang, think about it, there are some who are good at reading and those who are not; there are good and bad generals, and there are good and bad doctors. Yes, how can you know that there is no distinction between good and bad in farming? There is no difference between good and bad in silkworm raising? Excellent and good ones should be compiled into books, formed into rules, and widely disseminated. It’s like good articles. Not a pity?"

"That's right." Wang Jia's eyes have changed from being confused at the beginning to slowly ejaculating: "In other words, this medical palace must not only be built, but also be done in a big way! The method of farming, the method of leading soldiers, Even the law of being an official must be included and taught by highly skilled seniors. This can not only find a way out for those who don't study, but also add a lot of experts to the court. This is why it is called..."

Wang Jia glanced at the copybook in his hand, and lightly punched twice, "That's why you can specialize in art!!"

This was spoken with great force.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up and made a big salute: "Mr. Wang is a great talent! This statement really made me suddenly realize! Originally, I always felt that there was chaos in the palace. I just realized the crux of the matter after listening to what you said. If it is true what you said, the court will All the common people will be blessed! At that time, those who go out of the school will farm the land, become officials, and fight wars. Isn’t our Ming Dynasty full of talents? Even if it is powerful, It is not a dream to come from all over the world!"

After hearing this, Wang Jia couldn't calm down anymore.

The whole person has already started to get excited, and the movements of his hands can't be restrained, "Your Highness! I think this matter is very serious, so we must do it! And we must do it as soon as possible!"

"So urgent?" Zhu Houzhao felt that he was fooling too much,
He hasn't settled the silver issue yet...

Unexpectedly, Wang Jia seemed to have connected the two veins of Ren and Du, and said plausibly: "Your Highness does not know something. The Huaihe River flooded in the ninth year of Hongzhi. The imperial court wanted to select any person who knew and was good at water control. Lord Wang Qiong presided over the governance. Caohe has been very effective for many years. However, it happened that Mr. Wang was recuperating due to illness, so there was no one to choose?! It is ridiculous! If, as His Highness said, the law of controlling the river should be compiled into a book to form a decree, the imperial court Why can't we find a governor of the Huaihe River?"

Zhu Hou said in his heart that there are such vivid examples in reality, so why don't you say it earlier.It made me spend all my time trying to get around here.

"Then...?"

Wang Jia gave a very formal Confucian gift with a 'hoo', and then uttered a word in a loud voice, "Do it!"
