The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 541: Since it can’t be blocked, let it go completely: Ming’s population takes off
Zhao Sheng's seven students looked at their mentor sadly.

They were caught off guard.

Not only was the society full of voices scolding their mentor, but many teachers and students at the Imperial College in the capital could not accept his mentor.

There was a fierce dispute among the leadership of the Imperial College in Beijing.

Someone proposed to fire Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng was originally an edict of the Imperial College in Peking, and later supported the reform of the Imperial College in Beijing, so he was originally highly valued.

These seven students also followed their tutor from the Imperial College in Peking to the Imperial College in Beijing to study.

"I originally told your wife to bring her family to the capital. After you return to Peking, tell your wife not to go south for the time being."

Zhao Sheng did not succumb to the scolding from society, but his face turned pale after all.

Everyone will feel the pain under such great pressure.

"Sir, why don't you transfer back to Peking?" the student suggested.

My husband has many old connections in Peiping, so it will definitely not be like in Beijing. The situation in Beijing is too complicated.

Zhao Sheng shook his head.

"It's easy for me to leave, but if I leave, who can help His Royal Highness share the burden?"

"His Royal Highness the Grandson has not even opened his mouth to speak for you."

A college student defended his mentor.

This research was proposed by the Emperor Taisun, and his mentor conducted research in this direction, resulting in a mature report.

The report was also read by the emperor's grandson, but in the end, people only scolded their mentor, but the emperor's grandson seemed not to hear it.

"You do not understand."

Zhao Sheng stopped the disciple and said, "His Royal Highness the Grandson's position is very sensitive. He cannot express his position easily on national affairs."

People can target themselves, but they must not target His Royal Highness. With such political awareness, Zhao Sheng does not feel that he has been wronged.

The emperor's grandson is the core political figure of the country's future and must maintain his image in the hearts of the country's people.

He can only guide from behind the scenes, but cannot stand in front of the stage and end it personally.

"His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun has his own reasons."

Zhou Chengzhi said.

Their family had received personal care from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so that his father could be freed as soon as possible.

Even though His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson may not remember this kindness, Zhou Chengzhi always keeps it in his heart.

"It's hard for me to go to class or go out recently, but you can't stop working on your research topic."

Zhao Sheng thought for a while and said: "It is better to go to Peking to study in the capital. The phenomenon there is more serious and representative."

Everyone looked happy when they heard that their instructor asked them to return to Peking for research.

Who doesn’t want to return home in fine clothes?

Different from the past, they returned to their hometown with a project. It was exciting to think about it, and they had to perform well in front of the villagers.

Zhao Sheng took out a sum of money and put it in the custody of Zhou Chengzhi, who was responsible for their food, accommodation and transportation in Peiping.

Funding was provided by Zhao Shengyou.

Although the topics are assigned by him for the students, he can still use them a little, and he does not lack this right.

Seven college students bought tickets to the provincial capital of Beiping at the Beijing Railway Station.

Because they wore academic uniforms, they attracted people's attention.

Yingtianfu carried out reforms from prefecture school to county school.

In addition to continuing to study for free, the rice grains distributed to scholars in the past were changed to free school meals.

Students can eat and stay in the school kitchen for free.

But there are age restrictions.

Social studies are still organized by the private sector to provide enlightenment for children. When they reach the age of six, they can enter county schools in each county.

Then, when you are 12 years old, you have to take a graduation exam. After passing the exam, you can be promoted to a government school or a state school.

Those who have passed three years of government education or state education with excellent results and are recommended by the school can enter the Imperial College in Beijing and the Imperial College in Peking for interviews and examinations. If they pass, they will be admitted to the Imperial College.

This is equivalent to leaving various preferential treatment that were originally given directly to scholars to the school. The conversion of resources ensures the order of the county school.

Then those with unqualified grades, or older scholars, must either join in social production, return to their hometown, or go to private school at their own expense.

In fact, it is also the original assessment.

Scholars studying in prefectural and state schools also need to take exams, and those who fail will be expelled. But now there is an additional rule that limits the age.

Graduates of prefecture-level and prefecture-level schools have to practice in the society for three years, and then they can take the provincial civil service examination. They need to be guaranteed by three good family members and have no criminal record. After passing the public examination, they will be assigned to various positions. Yamen became officials.

As for the Imperial College students in the Imperial College in Beijing and the Imperial College in Peking, after graduation, they will undergo three years of social practice and then be eligible to participate in the imperial examination in Beijing.

After passing the imperial examination, they stayed in the six ministries to observe government affairs and became reserve officials. After passing the examination, they were finally assigned to serve as auxiliary officials in various places.

Auxiliary officers who passed the political examination were selected by the Ministry of Personnel, starting from each county, and received three-level evaluations based on the results of the political examination: upper, middle, and lower.

in short.

These Imperial College students are already qualified to be officials, they just need to make no mistakes and they will be the future county officials.

Officials could also take part in the imperial examination.

However, officials need to have more than six years of work experience, perform well at work, and be qualified to participate in the imperial examination.

I graduated from a county school at the age of 12, and from a provincial school at the age of 15. I have three years of social work, taking the public examination, and seven years of work experience, that is, I am 25 years old.

In the most favorable situation, one can pass the imperial examination at the age of 25, observe government in the Six Ministries for one year, and be assigned to serve as an auxiliary officer in various places for three years. After being recommended by the Ministry of Rites, he can become the county chief official at the fastest age of 29.

Then the Imperial College. If you successfully graduate at the age of 19, you will have three years of social practice, pass the imperial examination and observe government for one year, and then follow the same process to become a county official at the earliest age of 26.

One of the selection criteria for the latest cabinet is experience in serving as a local official.

The new employment system developed based on the current model of the Ming Dynasty mainly places more emphasis on the experience of local governance.

County magistrates were no longer a "place of exile" for students who fell behind in the imperial examinations, but became a training ground for important political officials of the Ming Dynasty.

The academic uniforms worn by the Imperial College students are the best expression of class.

The passengers on the train were very polite to them.

Seven Imperial College students returned to Peiping.

They tried hard to stay calm, restrained their inner arrogance, and became more and more restrained. After having a meal in a restaurant, they each went to a school for investigation.

College students trained by the Imperial College can be introverted, but in social activities, how to deal with all kinds of people and complete their own projects is also a problem they must solve.

Zhou Chengzhi was not in a hurry. He went back home first and had a meal with his mother, brothers and sisters.

In the past few years, he has added a younger brother and a younger sister, making the family a total of six people. In addition to the grandmother who came over, and the three maids at home, there are ten people in the family.

There are also several brothers of the father, not counting aunts. Unknowingly, they were originally a family of five in the Zhou family, including grandparents, grandparents, and three sons.

After three generations, it has become a family of more than thirty members.

It is rare for a father to have only four children.

The eldest uncle has eight children, the second uncle also has seven children, and the fourth uncle is younger than his father and also has five children.

suddenly.

Zhou Chengzhi understood the tutor's topic and why the tutor would put forward the idea of ​​limiting the population regardless of social ethics.

When the uncles' sons grow up, they will also start families and continue to reproduce like their elders.

The large-area well system of military households only requires one generation to grow up, and they will immediately enter land bankruptcy and the average household size will return to less than ten acres.

Peking Workers’ Children School.

Zhou Chengzhi looked at his alma mater and couldn't help but smile. Upon learning of Zhou Chengzhi's visit, his former teacher happily opened the door for him.

In school, looking at the young juniors and girls, Zhou Chengzhi seemed to have returned to his boyhood.

Now Beiping’s primary schools have matured.

The original special education classes have disappeared in the long river of history. Instead, there are a large number of special education classes in other provinces.

However, as time goes by, it will eventually become a unique product of history.

The children in the first grade are very obedient. They dare not disobey whatever the teacher asks them to do. However, they have learned the rules in social studies, so it is not difficult.

In the second grade, more courses were added, as well as music classes, outdoor classes, etc., and the children became more lively.

In the third grade, math and other courses have been added, as well as extra-curricular activities, horse classes, etc. They have begun to gather in groups of twos and threes and have their own small circles.

The fourth-grade children met together and began to appear in society.

The children in fifth grade started fighting.

The children in the sixth grade began to skip classes, follow the children in the middle school, and form gangs in groups.

Zhou Chengzhi was surprised to find that what His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun said back then actually happened so thoroughly.

This is something that students of their generation never dared to think about.

At that time, although there were naughty children, there were not such a large number of them.

"Children born in the new era have completely different thinking from people in the old era. They are only one generation old."

"What exactly caused it?"

Zhou Chengzhi's notes were filled with words, recording many phenomena and questions, but he did not find the answers in school.

"You should go see the society."

His former teacher smiled and told him, and after receiving some advice, Zhou Chengzhi left the school and discovered the problem.

Workers have to go to work during the day. The relaxed working environment and stable income have greatly increased the number of workers' children.

The mother cannot take care of so many children, so she takes care of the younger ones for the older ones.

The independence of the eldest child has led to the younger siblings, who grew up in a patriarchal environment and worshiped the patriarchy.

The behavior of studying in school is considered to be a sign of cowardice on the part of girls. They think that only by being like adults in society can they be considered a man.

Children imitate the conversation of adults and pretend to be in society, which stimulates the atmosphere of cliques.

"The education level of schools must keep up with the development and changes of the new era. It must be both relaxed and strict. The lack of education at home is also more critical."

Zhou Chengzhi came to Katai.

The maids of Goryeo and Japan finally influenced the military households, and they also began to try to rent maids.

"Morality cannot restrain human nature after all."

"Private behavior, with the arrival of a large number of Korean and Japanese maids, more illegitimate children were born."

"I have seen a military family with the most children. He has fifteen children, which has become his proudest thing. He often talks about it and shows it off to the villagers."

"He is still trying to hire more maids, and all the income from the one hundred acres of land has been used by him to reproduce his offspring."

Zhou Chengzhi pondered.

He came up with a new idea. Since human nature is difficult to limit, he should start from human nature to completely unleash the population growth of the Ming Dynasty and put forward a solution.

However, his ideas are not yet mature and he needs the advice of his mentor.

　Today's six o'clock update will be sent out in advance.
