Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 213 213 Use people to death

Zhu Biao didn't expect Wang Buli to dig a hole for him here.

So he looked at it honestly for a few times, and then fell silent.

The rule set by Zhu Yuanzhang is that students are here to go to jail.

The teacher is the warden and has the power of life and death over the students.

Even if you are artificially starved to death by your teacher, it is your student's own fault.

At least you want to avoid hanging yourself and die. Well, the master has to put your body out to verify your identity and see if someone died for you.

No one is allowed to restrain themselves.

It can be said that after the previous methods of selecting officials failed to receive effective feedback, Lao Zhu placed all his hopes and responsibilities on cultivating bureaucrats on the Imperial College.

As the saying goes, deep love brings deep responsibility.

"Please ask your consort to clear up my doubts."

Young students dare to disobey or resist, behave in a disrespectful manner, or violate school rules.

If someone comes to offer sacrifices to the young people in front of us, no one will be spared, and the whole family will be sent to the smoky land to serve in the army.

Now that Zhu Biao was criticized by Wang Buli, he had nothing to say, but after all, it was his father who wrote the criticism, so he could only forcefully say:

Then it became a mess.

If Lao Zhu's wishes were followed, all of them would have to be sent to Guangxi.

Then try to find ways to make money from it.

Then it is necessary to write it into the ancestral precepts, so that future generations can copy it carefully.

Lao Zhu's comments are also very colloquial.

"Although you are the director of the Imperial College, the person offering the wine is Duke Cao. Some matters must be discussed with him before they can be reported."

Zhu Biao felt that his father just came up with an idea and had to let his subordinates handle the details.

But now that there is war in the north and it is a bitterly cold place, there is nothing wrong with saying that we are allotted.

He found that Zhu Yuanzhang grasped some things in detail, and wished that every possible detail had to be considered.

"Of course it's up to the local officials to handle it."

Both of your heads were hung in front of the Imperial Academy. Your whole family was confiscated and sent to the smoky ground.

Lao Zhu's governance was very personal. Sitting in the palace and patting his head, he thought he had come up with a great idea.

If someone kidnaps the person who rebelled against the Master, I will reward you with two large pieces of silver.

Young students, listen, the rules of the Imperial Academy are serious, the scholars follow the rules every day, and are willing to learn from them. The people who teach them are the ones who are useful to our court.

Wang Buli chuckled, turned the page of the memorial again, and pointed at this place:

Some policies are like having an idea suddenly come to you as soon as you hit your head. You feel like you are a genius and your idea is really good, so you ask people to implement it immediately.

Zhu Biao remained silent. In fact, he and his father both had the same view of Wang Buli, and they were both angry and in love with him.

So he planned to use criminal law to eliminate all the prison students who disobeyed discipline and dared to protest from the very beginning!

There are people who know, but they don’t come forward to kidnap the person. If we behead the prisoner, we will take your head with him.

However, this boy Wang Buli didn't give them any face, or he was not willing to give them any sweets. He was always busy practicing various postures with the fairy to connect, and he didn't do any "business"!

Taking a step back, Guangxi is also a land of smog.

Therefore, in order to alert future generations, I must punish you severely and hang your heads to warn future generations.

After all, Lao Zhu has not conquered Yunnan, a "smog-stricken" land.

But what Lao Zhu needs is Ming officials who are absolutely obedient, have no thoughts of their own, and are extremely servile.

"Go, go, go."

Wang Buli even felt that these supervisors who signed up to go to the north for training had escaped.

It really left Zhu Yuanzhang and his son gritted their teeth and helpless.

Wang Buli could tell at a glance that both his father and son were extremely careful not to organize large-scale "people", especially "scholars" with organizational skills.

If the imperial court issued an imperfect policy, they would naturally study it carefully.

But it's you, the corrupt officials, and the unruly people who have skewed the implementation of our good policies.

Wang Buli didn't know how to complain.

"A local official should handle it."

Ever since Wang Buli said in Wonderland that Japan owned a silver mine, he had been trying to get Wang Buli to tell more things they didn't know.

Qian Tang, the Minister of Punishment, heard the sarcasm in Prince Consort Buli's mouth and quickly asked:

If it turns out to be a mess because of the implementation of policies, it is definitely not our problem.

"Not to mention how many villages there are in the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty's casual idea of ​​setting up a rural primary school all over the world is just a formality. I naturally know what the people below are like at the grassroots level.

"I think it is a good thing that His Majesty established a social school, but just giving orders to local officials, where will the money come from, where will the teachers be found, and where will the students' venues be?"

Mr. Qian, what do you think of this policy? If you were a local official, how would you make money? "

Qian Tang looked at the emperor's comments and said that social studies should be carried out so that boys and girls could learn the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, and also be literate and understand human ethics.

Only in this way can everyone become rule-abiding people and not become unruly people.

Even though he has handled many cases, he is really not proficient in making money.

"The rich will send their children to school, but the poor have no money to send their children to school. This is completely contrary to His Majesty's original intention of running social studies."

Xue Xiang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, pinched his beard and said: "Maybe when we build another school, a sum of money will be deducted."

Seeing Wang Buli glance at him, Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "I can't guess."

Right.

Wang Buli snapped his fingers: "You are all talking about making money in a short period of time. The place where you can really make money in the long term is the source of students.

Since His Majesty has asked the local officials to handle it, students are the way to make money.

Rich people are unwilling to send their children to rural primary schools. Their goal is to take the imperial examination and become a high official.

Naturally, you have to hire a famous teacher, but since you are from this jurisdiction, you naturally want to go to school here. If you don't want to go, you have to pay.

As for those who have no money and want to go to school, it’s easy to say that their families can pay the money every year, but the money cannot be handed over to the court anyway.

As for those who have no money and don’t want to go to school, even worse, you have to pay me a sum of money so that I can help you hide it from the court.

The petty officials used this to increase the number of students and deceive the court.

On the contrary, it destroys the families of good people who have no money to study, and even makes ordinary families who have enough money to study deeply resentful.

In the current environment of Ming Dynasty, not everyone has the conditions to study.

The first priority for the people is still to ensure that they are no longer hungry. It is best to have a balance after paying taxes to the court, otherwise they will not be able to survive.

Your Majesty's idea is a good one, but if a policy is really implemented, I'm afraid there will be many things that need to be guarded against, right? "

Zhu Biao was silent.

Qian Tang opened his eyes wide. It turns out that there are so many ways for low-level officials to make money!
Sure enough, by following the Prince Consort, you can inadvertently master many "useless" tricks for making money.

They, the high officials of the imperial court, are rarely short of money. Even if they hire a donkey cart, it is more than enough.

After all, Lao Zhu sent people to keep a close eye on them and beat them from time to time.

The predecessors of the Jinyiwei, the inspectors, were all hiding in hiding. They could not only hide and eavesdrop on shorthand, but also sketch quickly.

I could quickly draw the angry expression of the official at that time and then show it to Lao Zhu.

The next day, Lao Zhu asked the minister why he was angry and showed him the painting. The minister was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Such a strong desire to pry into the daily life of his ministers is enough to show that Lao Zhu is a highly sensitive person who is always ready to fight. Anyone who dares to plot his position will be killed!
"Hey." Xue Xiang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, couldn't help but sighed and said:

"When I was in the Yuan Dynasty, I knew that the petty officials in the Yuan Dynasty had many ways to make money, so I gathered all the local soldiers to resist the Yuan Tatars.

After listening to the consort's words today, I really didn't expect that their minds could be so flexible in order to make money. "

Zhu Benjian came to stop the conversation, but he didn't expect that Wang Buli would find such a big loophole in this new policy.

He didn't just stretch out two fingers and poke it.

It's the kind where one can effortlessly get in and squeeze out so much water, and can even swim back and forth.

numb.

Completely numb.

Zhu Biao couldn't sit still. He stood up and took back the memorial that his father asked Li Wenzhong and Wang Buli to go back and study.

Before the first process was completed, so many loopholes were discovered.

Then this good policy turned into a bad disease, and in the end it was his father whose reputation was damaged!

When Wang Buli saw Zhu Biao leaving, he snorted, "I'm chatting with your sister, why don't you drag me here to ask about politics?"
You must have a long memory.

When he met Zhu Yuanzhang back, Wang Buli was going to tell him, Lao Deng, do you mind if my car, Xiao Heizi, is parked in front of your house?

"What the prince consort said was truly from the bottom of his heart." Qian Tang, the Minister of Punishment, also stood up and smiled:
"The people below have too many thoughts. Without effective supervision, it will be difficult for His Majesty's policies to be fully implemented at the grassroots level."

Since ancient times, imperial power has not been sent to the countryside. If Lao Zhu can control the county, it means he is powerful enough. Further down, what he says may not be effective.

The law of the clan has replaced the imperial power.

The division of regions below the county level is irregular, lacks strict institutional arrangements, and is highly arbitrary.

As for Wang Buli's position as a historian, even though it was a low-level official position in other places, in the entire countryside, it was a ceiling-level official.

Which ordinary people would not dare to come over and kneel on the ground and kowtow to say hello when seeing Mr. Dian Shi going to the countryside?
For two thousand years, the lowest level of imperial power was the county-level government.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is so strong, his control over the county level is still weak.

He wanted to increase people's literacy so that they could learn the laws of the Ming Dynasty and observe the rules. Setting up rural primary schools was a good idea, but it was too unrealistic.

Just look at today's village chiefs and the like. There are a lot of lawless people, let alone the political environment of the past.

The two parallel operations of "gentry power" and "clan power" interacted with each other to form the rule of the countryside without an emperor. "Actually, I want to complain more about the prison students, but unfortunately the prince won't let me."

"Oh?"

Qian Tang originally thought that he wanted to leave after eating the melon, but he didn't expect that the consort's attack was not over yet, so he sat down again and said, "I would like to hear the details!"

"This must have been what I discovered when I was selected as the chief registrar of the Imperial College. All examinations at all levels of the imperial examinations use the Four Books and Five Classics to set questions.

If you want to speak in the tone of the ancients, you can only use the commentaries specified by several companies, and you are absolutely not allowed to have your own opinions. The combination of genres is called eight-legged writing, also known as Zhiyi. "

"Your Majesty, be careful what you say." Although Qian Tang knew that His Majesty had stopped the imperial examination system, he still reminded him: "Your Majesty and Liu Bowen discussed this method together."

“I know that school and the imperial examination go hand in hand. School is the ladder to the imperial examination, and the imperial examination is the way out for students.

Students become officials after passing the imperial examination. Not only do they forget about school, but they also forget about books. As a result, the imperial examination becomes more and more important and the school becomes less important.

Schools and imperial examinations were both systems for creating and selecting officials in the Ming Dynasty. The subjects studied and tested were exactly the same, namely the Four Books and Five Classics.

Not only is it far away from reality, but it is also absolutely not allowed to come into contact with reality.

When I asked them questions during the interview, many of them were dumbfounded. They said that there is no such question in the Four Books and Five Classics, which made me laugh. When you become an official in the future, you will deal with various government affairs. Is it possible that you have to put your head into the Four Books and Five Classics? To find out?

Reality has also proved that among these Jinshi scholars who only know how to write the Four Books and Five Classics, one of them has achieved political achievements after becoming an official? "

Wang Buli's question made the two ministers nod.

The performance of those Jinshi was indeed unsatisfactory, otherwise His Majesty would not have been so angry that he stopped the imperial examination.

"Now that His Majesty has stopped the imperial examination, we naturally have to talk about it. How many questions can be asked in the Four Books and Five Classics?
From the exams of Candidates, Scholars, Juren, Jinshi, etc., Ming Dynasty had so many candidates every year that it would take less than ten or eight years to pass all the exams in the Four Books and Five Classics.

What kind of questions are the examiners going to ask the students behind? Is it possible to combine this sentence with half sentences from other pages for the test?

I'm sure that taking these questions like this will only train students in a more stupid direction in the end. It is expected that they will be able to contribute to politics after becoming officials and report to the court to bring peace to the people. Stop dreaming. "

Wang Buli had something more important to say that he didn't say. The imperial examination talents didn't read other books and didn't know the current affairs.

There are no students in the school, coupled with the cruel rule and management, strict inspection and prevention, the students in the school are not allowed to have new thoughts and opinions other than respecting the emperor and blindly following the ancients. In the end, all of them are His Majesty's wise men, and they should be punished for their crimes.

Being beaten is a "kind punishment", being beheaded is a "death penalty", and being scolded goes without saying that only those who are qualified can receive it.

There are no bad parents in the world, let alone bad emperors. The monarchy is thus consolidated, and the rule of the Zhu family for generations is as stable as Mount Tai.

The numbers used are all foolish people's numbers.

At this point, it is simply beautiful to think about the Zhu family for eternity.

Zhu Benjian outside the door wanted to go back and argue with Wang Buli again, but he never expected to hear this, and now he went back to find his father.

There seems to be a big problem with the Ming Dynasty's Talent Recruitment Ceremony.

The two ministers were also people with long experience in officialdom. They agreed with Wang Buli's words, but they did not dare to say it out.

How can the officials under them not be Jinshi?

From this, it can be clearly seen that apart from being good at studying, they probably have no ability to govern.

And because of his status as a Jinshi, he felt superior to others, and the emperor would definitely be able to reuse them in the future.

Especially after the imperial examination was stopped and there were no more Jinshis in a short period of time, they felt that their status was noble and their future prospects were limitless.

"It's time, it's time to go home and eat."

Wang Buli stood up and said goodbye. He dropped a few bombshells today and let those who should worry about the eternal life of the old Zhu family have a headache.

Now I can also turn into a big troll, just giving opinions and not thinking of solutions.

This feeling, don't tell me, is quite refreshing.

Prince Zhu Biao hurried back to the main hall with the memorial issued by his father to Wang Buli.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still handling government affairs conscientiously. When his son came in, he didn't even look up. He just said, "Is Wang Buli gone?"

"Well, he should be leaving the palace."

Zhu Biao stabilized his mind, and then stepped back: "Dad, I was talking to Wang Buli just now, and I felt that there was a big problem."

"What's the big problem?"

Zhu Yuanzhang dipped his red pen in ink and continued to add his own opinions to the memorial.

"There is a big problem with our Ming Dynasty's talent promotion ceremony."

"Fart, it's all nonsense." Zhu Yuanzhang put the brush aside: "Who dares to talk nonsense and disturb the mind of the prince of the dynasty?"

"Wang Buli said it."

"hiss."

The breath in Zhu Yuanzhang's chest was suppressed again, and he calmed down for a while:
"Tell us what our son-in-law said. We want to hear what nonsense he can come up with!"

Zhu Biao then repeated Wang Buli's words to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he always felt that Wang Buli was secretly changing his concept.

But if you think about it carefully, this kid worked alone at the grassroots level and became a pawnbroker in just two and a half years.

Not only can he suppress the people in the house to listen to his words, but he can also suppress the officials in other houses. He can also be appreciated by the magistrate Wu Wei, which shows that he is somewhat capable in governing.

Coupled with so many years of observation, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Wang Buli was a capable person. Now hearing him say this made him no longer confident.

Is it possible that things will really develop as he said?

But on this point, Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to gamble.

Because the descendants of future generations have already done a bad job. If he makes some wrong policies indiscriminately, the Ming Dynasty in the future may be destroyed earlier.

"I'll think about it again."

Zhu Yuanzhang took back the comments he wrote and put them on his desk.

Every day I thought that Lao Zhu's family could plan for the future, but Wang Buli found so many loopholes in the policy as soon as it was released, and Lao Zhu Qian suddenly lost confidence.

Regarding the release of policies, even if I think of a good idea, I may not dare to implement it directly in the future.

"Call Hu Weiyong and others over here to discuss the matter."

Following the Ming Emperor's order, the prime minister, ministers and others who had originally planned to get off work at that time were all asked to work overtime.

As an overtime maniac, Zhu Yuanzhang himself could kill all his subordinates.

No one told Wang Buli about working overtime. He strolled to the gate of the imperial city and saw Lan Yu changing shifts.

He is affiliated with the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and his official position is not low. He does not have to stand guard at the gate of the imperial city every day.

But it’s also a way to show loyalty.

"Prince-in-law, have you changed your bronze medal?"

Lan Yu pointed to the captain's plaque hanging on Wang Buli's waist with a smile. All the captains in the imperial city had bronze plaques, and the rest were all wooden plaques.

Even if the people were short of copper, if the emperor wanted to use it, there would still be enough copper.

"Well, let's go have a wedding banquet on the day." Wang Buli said with a smile on his face: "Help me stop the wine and drink them all down."

Wang Buli was polite.

"Okay, we won't get drunk after a thousand cups. You have found the right person."

Lan Yu was very satisfied with Wang Buli's invitation.

Although we have different ideas, we agree with your father's medical skills and your ability.

Nowadays, the Langzhong Hospital is under preparation, and many nobles have invested money in it after listening to the persuasion of He Wenhui, the fifth prince, and Xu Da and others.

After it is completed, everyone's names will be engraved on the stone tablet outside the doctor's hospital, as well as the donated money. In short, the fifth prince has raised a lot of money.

According to the original plan written by Wang Buli, it is more than enough to build, and there will be no shortage of money in a short time.

The smile on Wang Buli's face froze for a moment. Could it be that the ancients didn't understand what it means to be polite?
After all, we all come from the same origin!

"What, you don't believe in our ability to drink?"

"I heard that King Kaiping also has a good drinking capacity, but it's easy to do things when drunk. You are King Kaiping's brother-in-law and have followed him since childhood. I am suddenly worried that you will make a scene at my wedding if you drink too much."

"That's impossible!" Lan Yu waved her hands politely: "Ask Ping An and others, have they ever seen me drink too much?"

Ping An, who was on duty, shook his head repeatedly. When it comes to drinking, there are really people who can drink.

"General Ping, you will go too when the time comes."

Wang Buli also tried to win over the general Jing Nan who was trying to stop Zhu Di. After so many years of running-in, he might be able to drag him into his own camp.

After all, he doesn't have any teammates now. Even Yao Guangxiao, a staunch ally, is still chanting in the temple.

"Good good."

Ping An had a smile on his face, a smile that truly came from the heart.

He thought that his relationship with Wang Buli was not that close, and now that he was personally invited to get married, it gave him great face.

Peace cannot but continue.

Wang Buli rode on his little Heizi, waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

So the remaining detectives followed him back to the county government office.

The rest of the government officials had long been sent to patrol the streets by Zhong Niu. They had stayed at the gate of the imperial city for so many years and did not work. They were caught by the censors, fearing that they would cause trouble for the prince-in-law.

above the hall.

Hu Weiyong and others were really upset after hearing the emperor's request, but they couldn't show it on their faces and just pretended to think about it again.

Your Majesty's policy is a good policy, but if it continues to be implemented, I'm afraid it will require a lot of money every year just to supplement it.

But where does the money come from?
If you just issue Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes without restrictions, you will only follow the old path of the Yuan Dynasty. People are not willing to hold Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, and the exchange price now is not equal to the same amount.

"Tell me, what are the problems with our policy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on a chair, still processing the memorial, but he threw all the questions and loopholes raised by Wang Buli to the courtiers below and asked them to think about it carefully.

Otherwise, I would have given them so much salary in vain!
Use them.

It must be used to death!
