14.24 Literati Counterattack, Compulsory Education

At the beginning of May of the first year of Xingwu, the imperial palace in the capital, the main hall of the Daming Palace, and the Xiaochaohui.

"Three thousand scholars cry at the Confucian Temple?" Wei Xu got off the dragon chair and shook the memorial in his hand, which was still on the ground. Among them are more than 30 juren and hundreds of scholars?
They are dissatisfied with the 'increasing the content of the math test in the school' issued by me, and they came out to put eye drops on purpose, right?There are still many policies here that have not been issued, and they are so arrogant. Why, do they want to rule the world with me? "

"I don't dare to wait!" All the ministers in the hall broke out in cold sweat and knelt on the ground. They are not stupid, and they know that Wei Xu despises the so-called "scholars", so the matter of the Confucian temple crying is really not true. What they organized was a "down to beat the top" that the bottom people wanted the top to do.

Just at the beginning of March, Wei Xu officially distributed the "Basic Mathematics" textbook to the whole country in the form of an imperial decree.

This textbook is actually led by Lin Daiyu, co-authored with Shi Xiangyun and the Xue family sisters. The general idea is the primary school textbooks in modern society, but the level is slightly more difficult than primary school mathematics. If adults study hard, at most You can master it in a month.

Just such a little thing was met with huge resistance after it was released. From the capital to the localities, wherever there are so-called "scholars", there is no one who does not object.

Not to mention the papers of officials’ dissuasion, there have been hundreds of local “study associations” and collective requests for cancellation of more than a hundred people. The so-called “3000 people cry at the Confucius Temple” is just the biggest one. That's all.

If we say that the imperial examination system played a very positive role at the beginning, when the era entered the reality of the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Dashun Dynasty in the world of "Red Mansions", the so-called "imperial examination system" has only remained for the country, hindered social development.

The only thing left in the eyes of this group of big headscarves is profit. Anything that can be called a "benefit", they will always only want to put it in their pockets; anything that may harm their own interests, they will not hesitate to accept destroy.

For profit, they don't have any morality, bottom line, or country, nation, or responsibility or honor. For profit, they don't care who is sitting on the dragon chair, and they don't care whether it is beneficial or harmful to the country or nation.

"Your Majesty, the so-called 'scholar's spirit', this incident should only be done by a few people with a heart. Most of those scholars are still young, and they are being used to act blindly, and they don't even know what they are doing." Lin Ruhai Immediately go out to persuade.

"I believe this." Wei Xu nodded, but what he said next made everyone's faces change drastically, "So I'm not going to do anything with these wastes that don't even have fame—Li Sheng, I remember Huo Xiangdong Lianyungang, right?"

At the beginning, Wei Xu's disciples included the so-called "Five Commanders" he promoted when he was in Jiangnan, namely Wang Yi of Xuzhou, Song Dayong of Pizhou, Huo Xiangdong of Lianyungang, Wu Gang of Suzhou and Luo Zhi of Bozhou, as well as Xu Fei of Yangzhou, Suzhou Du Guang, Anqing Shangfeng and Huizhou Gengyang.

There are also the five coaches under Dongfang Bai, that is, Luo Fang, Li Sheng, Wang Bin, Wang Chao, and Liu Can, plus other disciples with similar identities, Wei Xu treated them equally and never cared about the so-called "factions". ".

They were garrisoned in important places at the beginning, and they have fought in various places for many years and added "Students of the Son of Heaven". Now they have either become the governors of provinces and palaces, or entered Beijing as important officials of the imperial court, such as Luo Fang and Xu Fei in the Baishan Heishui theater, or the current five. Li Sheng, the governor of the Chinese army in the military governor's mansion.

"Your Majesty, since the war in the south is over, there is no need to take up any more troops. On the contrary, the land of Qilu has just been pacified, and there is an urgent need for elite soldiers to be sorted out." Li Sheng immediately came out, "So after the study of the five army governors, he has been transferred to Weiwei. Camp near the mountain lake.

The specific station is an original military camp in Yutai County. After expansion, it is now enough to accommodate a guard. The rest of the army is divided into units of guards or even thousands of households. "

"Yutai? It's not far from Qufu." Wei Xu said coldly, "Tell him, immediately send two thousand households to assist the local government, and arrest and deal with all the leaders involved in the above incidents."

"Think twice, Your Majesty—" Han Chu stood up bravely, because even Lin Ruhai didn't speak anymore this time, "After all, they are famous figures from the enemy, and they are supposed to supervise and advise the enemy's government affairs."

"Who gave them the power? Why don't I know?" Wei Xu said coldly, "I have never thought about which one I will rule the world with, why, who is going to teach me how to govern the country next step?" ?”

From the beginning of the founding of the country, he clearly announced to the world that he was the current "Human Emperor" and his responsibilities were to "shepherd hunting for heaven, rule the world, protect all people, build the country, and expand civilization." He also specifically stated that the "all people" here include Everyone in the world, and will never engage in any nonsense of "ruling the world with XX". "My humble minister will die—" Han Chu knelt on the ground with a "plop".

"Order, in the so-called 'Confucian Temple Crying Spirit' incident, the leading nine official officials ransacked their homes and wiped out their families, regardless of age, and sold them as slaves; all those who have meritorious deeds will be decapitated and displayed to the public. Military implementation, local assistance and supervision.

All those who participated but did not have meritorious titles will be disqualified from the imperial examinations, and they will not be allowed to enter the imperial court under any name within three generations. admonition.

In addition, an order was sent to the Confucian family in the form of an imperial decree. The contemporary "Yansheng Gong" successor committed suicide and apologized.

Li Sheng, you can directly hand over this matter to Huo Xiangdong, and let him supervise and handle it personally. If something goes wrong, such as someone running away or the place is in trouble, let him jump into Weishan Lake to wake up. " Wei Xu said coldly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the general will do it!" Li Sheng bowed after finishing speaking, turned around and prepared to leave the hall.

"Come back!" Wei Xu called out to him, "The so-called 'crying spirit', 'poetry society', 'small gathering' in other places can be dealt with based on this standard, and the treatment levels can be distinguished according to the number of people and the identity of the participants. , You draw up a standard report."

"The last general obeys the order!" Li Sheng just left the hall.

"Your Majesty, in this way, I'm afraid that the place will be affected." Han Chu could only continue to dissuade, "This world has been a 'county where imperial power does not come down' since ancient times. Although His Majesty has arranged corresponding arrangements, it will take time to fully implement it. It has always been clan and village elders.

Although a small number of people are ashamed of the emperor's grace and blindly stand out, they are indeed a powerful stop for the court to stabilize the place. Without their help, I am afraid that it will be difficult to implement taxes, food, and even labor in the future.

The minister knows that His Majesty is doing the right thing, but please allow some time to advance various policies and decrees step by step, such as completing within ten years. If you are too impatient, the minister is worried that the old things of Sui Yang will repeat. "

"It doesn't matter." Wei Xu glanced at him lightly. In the early days of Red China, the situation faced was much more complicated and difficult than it is now. However, under the strong impetus of "military management", the three major transformations were completed in just three years.

"Your Majesty, if the killing goes too far." This time Lin Ruhai couldn't stand it anymore.

"You should know how much my policies have promoted this country and the nation, right?" Wei Xu interrupted him coldly. Do you think I will postpone it because of a few unsightly things?
Also, this group of so-called 'scholars' can have such free time to come out to do things because they are too free on weekdays, right?Well, it just so happens that I have a new policy that needs to be implemented, so I’ll talk about it together today—mandarin duck, read it! "

Because even the imperial palace has been abandoned, Wei Xu naturally does not need the so-called "eunuchs", and of course he does not need the thousands of court ladies. The above personnel are all abolished, and the Wei family will still live in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace for the time being, after the reconstruction of the Xiangshan Palace is completed. Just move over, it takes about a year or so.

But it's not that he doesn't want people to serve him, but he has reduced the number of staff. For example, dozens of female officials are responsible for the maintenance of the house now, and the person in charge is Yuanyang, the first maid of Rongguo Mansion.

"Since the second year of Xingwu, all imperial examinations have been restricted in age. Participants must not be younger than 16 or higher than 40 years old. Anyone who falsely reports their age in an attempt to fool them will be charged with the crime of 'deceiving the emperor' and will be dealt with severely.

Anyone who participates in the imperial examination must have a teaching time limit in the township or prefectural school. Those who are admitted as scholars need to teach for two years, for those who are recruited for three years, and for Jinshi for five years. The above data are allowed to be superimposed. In the advanced examination, those who have obtained the honor are not allowed to be awarded officials!

The implementation of the above decrees will be supervised by the local governments, and the "compulsory education" system will be implemented as a whole. If any township fails to establish a primary school with more than 300 students within two years, or the county level fails to establish a middle school with more than [-] students, it will be considered a crime of "dereliction of duty"! "

Everyone in the hall, whether civil or military, was stunned!
