Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 58 58 I have given him a salary, but he still wants to take a vacation every day?

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding, it was all stuff mixed into the grain by corrupt officials. How could children play with it?

Wang Buli gestured to a pile of sand.

Children dig holes or fill wooden carts with sand and transport them away.

Anyway, just play.

He felt that there was no need for chicken babies in the Ming Dynasty anyway!

But Zhu Yuanzhang is in Jiwa!

Before he entered the fairyland, his eldest grandson's education had not fallen behind.

That is to say, after misunderstanding that the eldest grandson was a rookie when he was the emperor, he didn't care much about him.

When Zhu Yuanzhang learned that his eldest grandson had died at the age of eight, he did not have the same strict requirements on him as before.

The eldest grandson is better than anything else if he is alive.

He knew the pain of losing his son and didn't want Biao'er to experience this pain prematurely.

"Wang Dianli, I didn't expect you to have a lot of experience in child care?"

Zhu Yuanzhang praised meaningfully.

Every time he communicates with Wang Buli, he always gets some useful little knowledge that he doesn't know.

"Hey, children should have fun playing when they are young.

Prodigies are the minority, ordinary people are the majority. "

Wang Buli waved his hand nonchalantly and said:

"My eldest brother has a son, and he wanted to educate him to study from an early age. What nonsense, but I persuaded him.

Take advantage of your age to play with sand and the like.

Of course, this incident made my sister-in-law complain for a while. After all, studying and becoming an official is their most desired way out.

But a while ago, His Majesty didn't say that he would hold the imperial examination, so my image in my sister-in-law's mind moved back a little bit. "

"Imperial examination?" Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said:

"We think your Majesty did the right thing by stopping the imperial examination."

"I also think it's the right thing to do."

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a look at Wang Buli.

This petty official is literate but does not like to read Confucian sages' books. He would rather read novels and stories on the street.

"why?"

"It's not fair!"

Wang Buli took a sip of tea by himself.

Because of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty abandoned the time-consuming tea fights of the Song Dynasty, and added miscellaneous things.

"Comparatively speaking, it is easier for people from the south to become Jinshi." Wang Buli dipped his hand in water and turned it into a stick:

"Of course this must be a legacy left over from the Yuan Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang recalled it carefully.

He held two imperial examinations. It was true that there were too many Jinshis in the south and very few in the north.

He had always thought that southern Confucian culture was the most important inheritance.

After all, the north has not been in our hands since the Song Dynasty.

"how to say?"

“The emperors of the Yuan Dynasty tried their best to use northerners as much as possible, but were wary of the practices of southerners who had once rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, which perpetuated the concept of the divide between north and south in people’s minds.

The survivors of the Song and Jin Dynasties under the Yuan Dynasty found themselves not reunited as the court had promised, but had to negotiate under the barriers of prejudice.

This difference is reflected in the political and cultural tensions between northerners and southerners.

The former was sent south to govern the old country of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The latter had no chance to serve the new regime, and had to negotiate with the newly arrived northerners and were forced to give up their local interests.

Southerners accuse northerners of being uneducated and uneducated.

Northerners, on the other hand, think Southerners are narrow-minded and self-righteous.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for them to reach political reconciliation.

The Mongols used recommendation rather than examination to select officials, sowing the seeds of resentment in the hearts of the southerners who were severely marginalized by the Yuan court.

After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, in order to reverse this imbalance, they hoped that the Ming Dynasty could restore the imperial examination system. "

Wang Buli's words made Zhu Yuanzhang think a lot before he nodded:

"Is such that."

Civil servants headed by Liu Bowen and Song Lian all suggested this. They represent the aspirations of the southerners who want to gain a foothold in the new dynasty.

In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang resumed the imperial examination, which was because he realized the suffering of southerners in the Yuan Dynasty who had no way to advance.

But he himself appreciates the frankness of the northerners, so he is not willing to correct the situation of emphasizing the north over the south too much.

The South had cultural advantages—more educational resources, more elegant literature, and more developed social relationships to sponsor and flourish scholarship.

Three-quarters of the Jinshi produced by the first imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty were from the South.

After Jiajing, the literary style in the south of the Yangtze River became more and more prosperous, and it was not uncommon for northerners to become Jinshi.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very unhappy with this result, and he suspended the imperial examination again a few days ago.

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Me?" Wang Buli pointed at himself in surprise:

"Mr. Guo, if the two of us are just chatting casually, what policies can we come up with to govern major national affairs?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, but he believed in his heart that the little official in front of him had a solution.

He entered the fairyland earlier than us. Who knows what he learned there.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Wang Buli is a deep mine!

"Save it quickly." Wang Buli poured himself another half cup of tea:

"If your majesty finds out about our discussion of this matter, wouldn't it mean that all our hard work will be wasted?"

"Ah?" Zhu Yuanzhang also lowered his voice: "Are you so afraid of His Majesty?"

"Who is not afraid?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Wang Buli's words.

The status of an emperor should be used to be feared, not to be intimate with.

If the emperor loses his majesty, wouldn't he be like Prince Ming, whose life and death are in the control of others?

If Qin Shihuang is the emperor of the ages, then Zhu Yuanzhang is the anti-corruption emperor.

Among the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the class that made him most uneasy was the scholars.

He knew that he needed to rely on the knowledge of scholar-bureaucrats to manage tens of millions of people.

At the same time, he worried that scholar-bureaucrats would always put their own interests above the emperor's requirements.

Nowadays, the imperial examination has been stopped to prevent the imperial court from being filled with Southerners and to prevent them from forming cliques for personal gain.

But Zhu Yuanzhang has not yet thought of a better replacement method.

Scholars - these families train their children and grandchildren to pursue official careers, and their main source of income is land.

Therefore, land annexation will definitely occur on a large scale!

In theory, any male could take part in the imperial examination.

But in reality, if you want to pass the imperial examination, you must be familiar with classics and history and master the examination style.

And understand the cultural connotations contained in the entire scientific examination classic system, which first requires costly educational investment.

If you fail to win the election for two consecutive generations, you will not be able to maintain an elite family.

The local elites who relied on the imperial examinations as their foundation found it difficult to survive in the Yuan Dynasty.

The reason is simple, because the imperial court rarely conducts examinations to obtain scholars.

The Mongols eschewed autonomous and unpredictable systems such as civil service examinations and appointed only those they trusted.

The truth is that I have no culture, so I won’t do it.

Wang Buli looked at the dripping in the room and was lost in thought. Something was wrong with Mr. Guo today.

After he learned that his wife had a hidden illness, he not only had no idea how to spend more time with his wife, but also wanted to share the worries for Daming.

How must this person have been brainwashed by Zhu Yuanzhang?

Although Wang Buli was at a lower level within the Ming Dynasty system, he had never seen an official like Chief Guo.

Working for Daming is like working for your own family.

PUA culture is really harmful.

Seeing that Wang Buli was deep in thought, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again:

"I do want to stay with my old wife, but I can't help myself. For the sake of my own children, I can't back down."

Wang Buli expressed his understanding. It seemed that Director Guo didn't care about his wife that much.

"Your Majesty should really give people like you a holiday to spend time with your family."

Wang Buli mentioned the holiday again?

Zhu Yuanzhang felt very unhappy: "I have already given him a salary, why does he still think about vacation every day?"
