Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 559 The King's Dream
"That's why you know how awesome you are?" Zhu Yuanzhang was not only not angry, but rather proud.After a pause, he said again:
"Lao Liu did a great job this time. He identified this link and used a surprising trick to make the people see through the lies of those squire and clan elders. Knowing whether it is clearing the land or the Lijia system is a good thing for the people. Those country gentry and elders lost the support of the people, so naturally they couldn't make any splashes."

"Hey, father, you're flattered." The corner of Lao Liu's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"It's just that your method is too disgraceful." Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a smile: "Damn it, the dignified prince went to become the leader of the beggar gang, is it reasonable?!"

"It's the chief gang leader." Lao Liu corrected.

"That's a beggar too!" Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.Back then, I was begging for food because I was forced to make ends meet, but this kid took it as a fucking hobby.

"What's wrong with the beggar, one of my son's dreams since he was a child was to be the head of the beggar gang." The sixth child said nonchalantly, "Everyone says that the young is better than the blue, and there must be one thing that a son can do better than his father."

"Fuck..." Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang understand his intentions, and he rolled his eyes depressedly and said, "Then your father was a monk, do you want to become an abbot?"

"I don't have such a plan at the moment." Lao Liu thought about it and said seriously: "The profession of Neptune is more attractive."

"Look, look, look, I just praised him, and this kid's tail is up to the sky." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became angry, bent down to take off his shoes, and said, "I think he is itchy." !"

"Father, let's get down to business." The prince hurriedly held down the old father's hand, glared at Lao Liu and said, "Stop talking nonsense."

"Oh..." Lao Liu then nodded obediently.

"Damn it..." Zhu Yuanzhang also cursed and put on his shoes. When the boy was out of sight, he always thought of him as good or bad. When he saw him, he hated him so much. "What did you say just now?"

"Speaking of using the beggars' gang, they went around the streets and alleys to promote it to the common people, and the effect is very good," said the prince, "it's just a bit disrespectful."

"That's right, can't anyone be found in such a huge imperial court? You have to let beggars to promote national policies." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice:
"However, the effect of government propaganda may not be as good as beggars."

"That's right, publicity must be humane and grounded." Zhu Zhen nodded.

"Yeah." Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said deeply, "'Talking in human language, down-to-earth' is well said. It is really not easy for Lao Liu to understand these six words. But it can be done more decently. some--

"We are planning to build 'Shenming Pavilion' and 'Jingshan Pavilion' in every village. The former is used to post imperial proclamations and directly convey government orders that are directly related to the people; the latter is to post various local acts of filial piety. , in order to educate the villagers.

"The common people are illiterate, so we select three to five or seven literate, highly respected people in each township, read to them regularly, and explain to them the painstaking efforts of the imperial court." Zhu Yuanzhang was very proud of his resourcefulness, glanced at the old six and said: " How about it, is this method better than your beggar propaganda team?"

"It's on the stage, but it's a little wishful thinking." The sixth child didn't agree.

"Hey, why is this wishful thinking?" Zhu Yuanzhang said a little embarrassed.

"Those scholars not only won't read to them obediently, but also deceive the public and confuse the public!" The fourth child took the initiative to share the firepower for the sixth child, angrily said: "We are forced to do nothing, and those Mr. Hooligans, street sneakers, etc., are all locked up, so that no one will sing against the propaganda team."

"If the government selects candidates, they will most likely still be these people." Zhu Zhen nodded, and said with certainty: "It's better to find those accountants, yin and yang students, Brokers and the like follow the script."

"You mean, have the scholars' sage books been read into the dog's stomach?" The prince frowned slightly, and he still had a good impression of the scholar.But I didn't expect them to play such a disgraceful role.

"Actually, it's because I read too many sage books that my head is broken." Zhu Zhen said in a startling way: "Father wants to share the world with the people, so he can't use scholars who only read sage books!"

"Who do they use?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. He was already tired of those scholars who were full of benevolence and morality, who were full of male robbers and female prostitutes.

"Technocrats." Zhu Zhen replied.

"Technocratic?" Zhu Yuanzhang was confused: "What the hell is that?"

"It is to let people with professional knowledge manage the country." Zhu Zhen explained: "For example, let people who are proficient in accounting knowledge and financial laws manage finances; let people who are proficient in criminal names and laws manage the judiciary; let people who are proficient in water conservancy People manage water conservancy; let people who are proficient in construction manage engineering."

"To put it bluntly, let the experts lead the experts. Instead of letting those who don't listen to the outside world and only read the sage books blindly direct." After a pause, he said in a deep voice:

"This is also the reason why I said there is a lack of manpower. There are too few technocrats who understand practical matters like this. The measurement data of a piece of land are there, and those officials who only read the books of sages cannot calculate its size. Townships When the pornographic data is reported, they don’t even know how to count it. If the people below are not fooled by them, who will they be fooled? What’s the use of them?”

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he was silent for a while, and Fang Youyou said: "You boy, this is going to ruin the jobs of scholars."

"It was the emperor who smashed it first." Zhu Zhen laughed.

One of the important reasons why Zhu Zhen dared to bring up such a sensitive topic with Zhu Yuanzhang was that he had guessed the old thief's mind and knew that the old thief thought the same way.

In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to open a department to obtain scholars.However, after three years of trying to get a scholar through the imperial examination, he was very disappointed, because the selected ones were all scholars who could only recite poems and write articles, and they would be able to do nothing but rhetoric in the court.

This is very different from his original intention of setting up a department to select and govern the country and take charge of one party's officials.So he announced the suspension of the imperial examination, and expressed disappointment in the imperial edict:

"I seek talents with sincerity, and the world responds to me with empty words, which is not my intention to seek talents with real responsibility."

After that, he adopted the recommendation of local officials and his own way of cultivating Guozisheng to enrich the team of officials.The effect is actually very good... The sixth child in Suzhou and Jiangxi has recruited a large number of Guozi students who have learned arithmetic and financial management.

When Liu Lian went to Qingzhang, Jiangxi, he used Qing Yishui's Guozisheng.

It can be said that without the Guozisheng cultivated by Lao Zhu with pragmatism, there would be no victory for Jiangxi Qingzhang.

It is precisely because of this premise that he dared to say this...

But this proposal is too shocking, if you really want to follow what Lao Liu said, you will have to turn the world upside down.Even the crown prince couldn't support it. He said in a deep voice: "The imperial court builds the country on the way of sages and sages. Naturally, scholars who have read the books of sages and sages should be used in the selection of scholars. You can learn and practice slowly on specific matters..."

"Brother, my younger brother didn't say not to read sage books." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "I'm talking about scholars who don't need to only read sage books."
