Chapter 222 Leather

"As a result of this exam, there are a total of 16732 candidates, 14 of whom are 30 to 11901 years old according to Pingzhang, and 60 of them passed 7916 points in both subjects. If there is no age limit, a total of 12823 passers." Year The ancient Tao An was still quick-thinking, and skillfully reported the figures that were completed yesterday, while adding: "The remaining 3909 people are all proficient in literature and ink, and it was Pingzhang's suggestion that the Lord's morning court will be accurate, and they can all be counted." keep it."

In the warm small hall on one side of the lobby where the earth dragon has been burned enough.

Zhu Yuanwo sat in the big chair with a thick mattress beside the table by the window, flipped through fresh forms filled with various data in his hand, and then calculated: "It's still not enough, more than 16000 people are counted, this time The reform of the Ten Departments needs to fill a large number of manpower, as well as local governments and schools, as well as various 'groups' and 'companies', um... the military will also have a large number of needs in the future. Calculated, it may be a fraction of more than 6000 Just cut it off."

Tao An shook his head: "Pingzhang, you forgot one more."

"Ok?"

Tao An said: "The imperial court wants to use it, but if the arrangement is not satisfactory... Those scholars are afraid that they will not stay."

Zhu Yuan realized that this was a problem.

and……

Still a big problem.

This era is no better than later, even the most basic civil servants have to earn a lot of money.

just now……

If you want to give it to officials, people don't necessarily want it.

What's more, this time is different from the past, except for a small number of top-notch ones, the others are proposed by Zhu Yuan, and those who can be given are basically low-level officials.

Scholars are precious in this day and age, so it is conceivable that there will be more people who are unwilling.

And, you can't force it.

Twisted melons are not sweet.

A twisted person...may be mistaken.

However, Zhu Yuan didn't intend to do nothing, and after a little consideration, he said to Tao An: "You will release the news later, if you don't want to follow the imperial court's arrangement this time, then from now on, don't think about becoming an official again."

Tao An hesitated: "Pingzhang, I'm afraid something is wrong..."

"I will talk to my ancestors," Zhu Yuan said, "I believe my ancestors will agree."

Of course Lao Zhu would agree.

There will be more old Zhu, for example, you don’t want to be an official, right? You don’t like my Ming Dynasty, right? Well, I’ll cut you into two halves...

Of course, it was so intense, Zhu Yuan felt that it was unnecessary.

Next, the key is the reform of official salaries.

This is an important point that Zhu Yuan thought of very early on.

Moreover, this time, Zhu Yuan must convince Lao Zhu a little bit.

Money, give enough!
For this one, compared to Da Song, the former Lao Zhu was really too stingy, so that the result of being stingy... actually backfired.

Not to mention certain black areas.

Just say on the table, if you don’t pay me, my yamen won’t be able to operate, so what should I do?
There is always a way!

Thus, a huge proportion of 'fire consumption' appeared.

Later, people may think that "huo consumption" is just those consumptions in the process of refining silver. Later, the Qing Dynasty's huo consumption was returned to the public, and this part was also collected.

Actually not.

Far from it.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the proportion of "fire consumption" was even higher than the apparent income of the Ming Dynasty's finances.

In addition, this also brought about various exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes, which further increased the burden on the people.And all of this is because Lao Zhu wanted to save money in the early days of the founding of the country.

This is off topic.

At the moment, after hearing what Zhu Yuan said, Tao An also understood Lao Zhu's possible attitude, and he wanted to persuade him a few more times before giving up after thinking about it, and then said: "Let's not mention these for now, Pingzhang, anyway, because the Guozijian reformed National University, this time, our 16 majors, with 500 students for each major, are definitely far from enough. This morning... Heh, the old man is so gentle, and Xu Chunren actually wants to divide the candidates equally with us, so I argued with him for a while Fan... or the Lord personally decides to give them 3000 people, and I will consider it in private, or it will be equal to the split."

Zhu Yuan's reaction was not as big as Tao An's. He continued to look through the data in his hand and said, "Pick out the best part first, and we will keep it."

Tao An smiled wryly: "Many people from Guozixue participated in this review of the test papers, as well as the unpacked statistical records. Xu Chunren may have a list in his hand. Besides, the examinees themselves... I am afraid they will have their own ideas. Pingzhang, many of our professional settings... are too deviant, and are not favored by traditional Confucian scholars."

Zhu Yuan thought for a while and asked, "Guozixue needs 3000 students. Do they have such a big campus to support them? They can't let students live in the Qinhuai River, right?"

Tao An pointed to the north: "After the court today, Xu Chunren has already gone to see the place, west of Hongshan...the Lord also nodded. At present, the capital has no shortage of craftsmen, and the new school building will be completed in March."

Jinling University is on the east side of Hongshan Mountain. For you, pick it on the west side.

One thing and one thing.

This is to fight!

Zhu Yuan thought, but the corners of his mouth curled up.

In fact, if he wants, Zhu Yuan can easily take over the entire Ming Dynasty's education system under his own name. In fact, he also proposed to set up a "Ministry of Education" before, but unfortunately, Lao Zhu didn't include it this time. Ten departments' ranks, but under the direct jurisdiction of Zhongshu, each department is in charge.

For example, the planned Jinling Military University must be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Military Affairs outside of Zhongshu's direct jurisdiction, and it is impossible to assign it to the Ministry of Rites.

Since Zhongshu is directly under the central government, there should always be a supervisor in charge.

Coincidentally, Zhu Yuan believed that Lao Zhu was very happy for him to take charge.

However, Zhu Yuan didn't want to grab him. To have Xu Chunren jumping out at the moment, to a certain extent, it was more in Zhu Yuan's interest.Otherwise, all the students in the world are taught by you. What do you want to do in this era when "world, monarch, relative and teacher" is very important?
Zhu Yuan didn't want to be the 'principal'.

Not interesting.

In fact, Lao Zhu probably wouldn't think too much about it, someone is confident enough to calm down the scene, and Zhu Yuan really didn't think too much about it himself.

But what about the future?
Zhu Yuan's current favor is already too much, so no matter who jumps out against him now, he is very happy to see that this will be a kind of balance that can make Lao Zhu feel at ease subconsciously.

Of course, those who jump out, it's better to be smarter and target them appropriately, just like Xu Chunren.Otherwise, if the other party wants to kill him, Zhu Yuan can only kill the other party first.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuan still said in a relaxed tone: "Then there is no other way, my lord, the next thing you have to do is to make a good deal in your own hands, and drink with Xu... Well, you will also be called the principal in the future." Yes, I like this title better, anyway, you guys will compete with each other."

Tao An glanced at someone: "Is Pingzhang optimistic?"

"Is it that obvious?"

Tao An just smiled.

Having lived to be almost 60 years old, and having spent so many years in the imperial court, Tao An can certainly understand Zhu Yuan's thoughts and admire him very much.

At Zhu Yuan's current age, he was young enough to be directly under the jurisdiction, and he could still make such a choice, neither to fight nor to grab, Tao An had to admit that if it was him, he might not be able to do it.

Therefore, I also remembered the first issue of "Daming Monthly", which I have read repeatedly in the past few days.

In "Dream of Red Mansions", the couplet.

I forgot to shrink his hand behind him, with nowhere to look back.

Tao An knew the source of "Dream of Red Mansions", so he felt that someone could not only write it, but also practice it.

The two chatted for a few more words, Zhu Yuan gradually turned to the end of the data, and thought of one thing: "This time there is one candidate, Qian Tang, who I met last time, on the ancestor's side, what is the plan?"
