Ma Jun naturally didn't come here casually. He came to handle the case under the orders of Zhongshu Province and the Censor's Office.

And since Gao Qi brought the matter of Fudan Academy's admission into Zhongshu, there has been a lot of discussion in the DPRK. In contrast, Li Shan did not reach this level when he was long-term.

This is not a simple issue of leaving or staying, nor is it a general fraud case, because this matter has already touched the fundamentals of the Ming Dynasty and the most core issue.

Let me ask today's Ming Dynasty, who is the world?

The princes in the DPRK are actively contacting and communicating with each other in all aspects... You will find a very interesting phenomenon, this time it is no longer Zhang Ximeng's faction, Li Shanchang's faction is not divided according to each yamen, but more complicated differentiation.

For example, the first person to act was Tang He, the governor of the five army governors, who found Xu Da.

"Thousands of families in Xiahe Village are the children of the lieutenant generals. I will ask you now, can the Censor Station be the master of the army generals?"

Xu Da's face was ashen, "I said, Brother Tang, it's not so simple, I'm willing to help, but we can't say it ourselves!"

"Why can't you tell me?" Tang He asked directly, "What do you want to say?"

Xu Da got up, looked around, then sat down again, and said to Tang He: "In Xiahe Village, of course, there are children in the army... But my children don't study in that kind of place, let alone we all There is a hereditary title. It has already taken a big advantage. I can stand up and speak, but I am not hard-hearted!"

Tang He said coldly, "Then how hard it is!"

Xu Da was surprised, "Brother Tang, what do you mean?"

Tang He sighed heavily, "To be honest, I know about this, and I haven't slept for two days. I wondered, what time did we live, you, me, and Your Majesty, how long has it been? Let's just Forgot? To be honest, I am really afraid, I am afraid that one day, our descendants will become like the nobles of the Yuan court."

Xu Da was stunned, then said, "What do you want to do?"

Tang He sighed: "I heard that Hu Dahai's grandson, who wants to enter the Peiping Academy, also passed the exam. We might as well ask for an decree that the title of title should be hereditary and not to be replaced. It depends on the meaning of the upper position, whether to abolish or stay... As for the next A generation must make reforms according to their abilities, like the original admission method. They must be the same as the children of ordinary people. Or they can't inherit the title without credit... Anyway, I can't say exactly how to do it, but this knife , I admit it!"

Xu Da was startled, he never expected that Tang He could express such a position!

"Brother Tang, in fact, we can't get to this point... The core is the allocation of funds for the school... Then, like martial arts, can ordinary people's children be admitted? Can they give up their current position in the military? Those hereditary Can I lead the army directly for the title of nobility... If my brother can help me, I can do it!"

Tang He was shocked, and then said: "Don't lie to me! What can you do, let me hear it?"

Xu Da immediately said, "Do you know the tactics Lan Yu used this time?"

"I know, I heard that firearms are the mainstay, and they played very well!"

"Then do you know Zhu Ying's tactics in Yunnan?"

Tang He still nodded, "That kid plays better with firearms, why I don't know!"

Xu Da said: "That's it... Firearms simplifies the situation on the battlefield too much. How many logistics, how many soldiers, how many firearms, how many kills... These can all be calculated. Personal bravery, generals' talents, many Things have become less important. Let me say that a young man who is good at calculating, who has fought a few battles, is probably not much worse than a veteran in the army, or even better!"

"So what I mean is that martial arts should recruit students from all over the country, and the children of the military are willing to sign up. Naturally, it is best, even if the prince, the descendants of the marquis, can take the test. And this test must be fair and just... First of all, it is basic. Physical fitness, secondly, is the test scores, as long as you pass the test, you can enter martial arts and serve the country in the military. As long as you keep this, other things will be easy."

Tang He didn't hesitate, "I agree to this matter, there is nothing I can't do. Isn't it just those noble families? You don't want to offend people, leave this to me, and I will be the villain!"

Xu Da waved his hand, "I don't mean it that way, I just think that if I do this kind of thing, I'm afraid it will offend too many people and it won't be implemented."

Tang He pondered for a while, and sighed, "I know that you say it's not easy to do. But to say that it's impossible to do it is an underestimate of the people of the Manchu Dynasty. Since the beginning of reading and literacy with Mr. Zhang, there are some things , subtly, I have already told us. It's just that after the founding of the country, some people took the original words as a joke and forgot their original intentions, right?"

Xu Da nodded and agreed, "I understand! Thank you, Brother Tang, with you here, I am more courageous now!"

Xu Da made up his mind and hurriedly contacted the rest of the censors.

After Xu Da explained his meaning clearly, he immediately got the support of most of the censors.

"Please rest assured, Zongxian, we all mean the same thing. We have invested so much in education over the years, but it still has no effect. It's time to change it!"

After Xu Da's rectification, the Censor's Office is not what it used to be. Not only are they strong in combat, but they can also influence public opinion... Soon someone came forward and expounded their opinions to Yingtian's newspaper. Just the headline made people stunned: " Beware of scholar-bureaucrats returning to the DPRK!"

In the province under the door, Song Lian, Liu Ji, and Yao Guangxiao gathered together.

Liu Bowen said first: "This article is very well written, what do you two think?"

Song Lian snorted, "Brother Bowen, the two of us are most familiar with each other. You know the hardships of studying when I was young. If there was such a Xiahezhai Middle School back then, how happy I would be!"

Liu Bowen rolled his eyelids and said with a smile, "That was back then, what about now?"

"Now?" Song Lian hehe said: "Do you think I'm different from before? A joke!"

Liu Bowen nodded, "That's good!"

When he turned his eyes to Yao Guangxiao, before he could speak, Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "I'm a monk and profane!"

Liu Bowen said rudely: "Monks don't love money, the more the better! Who knows what you think?"

Yao Guangxiao laughed angrily, "I wasn't a serious monk back then!"

This sentence made the three of them burst into laughter.

Liu Bowen said happily: "So, that's what we mean by the provincial government?"

Song Lian was stunned, as if there was one person missing.

Yao Guang Xiao said: "That Gong Bo was invited by Wang Guangyang."

Liu Bowen snorted, "Let him go!"

On the side of Zhongshu Province, Sun Yan was helpless. The trouble was so big that it wouldn't work if he didn't come up with a solution... I also had a hard life, and I managed to take over the phase.

After all, Lan Yu was in good spirits, and he cleaned up the Japanese country at once, and everything went well with the use of troops abroad. It's just that things in this court are not easy to handle.

There is no way to do this, but to bite the bullet.

Sun Yan could only ask Zhu Biao for an order, and then in the Zhongshu Province, he summoned all the ministers of the Ministry, the Menxia Province, the Censor's Desk, as well as the Imperial College, the Hanlin Academy, and other nine ministers, all of them.

Today's situation is very interesting. Xu Da, on behalf of the Censor, stood on the side alone, but what was unexpected was that the Grand Governor Tang He also came, and the two were side by side.

Afterwards, the three people from the province under the door were all in the middle of the matter, and they were also aggressive.

On the other side, Wang Guangyang, Hu Weiyong, and several other ministers, including Guozijian Jijiu and others, were impressively listed.

The two groups of people who are vaguely opposed are really evenly matched, and it is difficult to say who has the greater advantage.

It's just that when the matter was about to be discussed, Jiang Nan, Minister of Commerce, came over. She hardly hesitated and stood directly beside Xu Da.

This time, people are slightly startled, is this what Zhang Taishi meant?

While everyone was still thinking about it, someone else came in a hurry, it was Qian Tang, the Langzhong of the Ministry of Education and Culture.

According to reason, he is not eligible to participate, but he just came.

While everyone was surprised, Sun Yan coughed, "I heard that the article that warned about the return of scholars and officials to the DPRK was written by Qian Langzhong."

Qian Tang nodded, "It's true that I wrote it, but there are several other censors, including Ma Junze, Zhang Yu, Wang Jin and others, and we all have the same opinion!"

Sun Yan nodded, "I see, Qian Langzhong, you should wait by the side."

Qian Tang stepped aside.

Sun Yan then looked at both sides, and then said to Zhu Biao: "His Royal Highness, let me say a few words first, the so-called problem of the so-called scholar-bureaucrat returning to the dynasty exists, and it is still very obvious. The root of this lies in education. The problem of indoctrination has been solved, and there will be endless troubles!"

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, but did not say more.

After a brief silence, Wang Guangyang smiled and said, "Sun Xiang, what is a scholar-official? He must be from a famous family, he is an official and a scholar, and he is famous all over the world. He also has family power, especially the ability to avoid taxes and evade servitude, and live above the common people. Tian Liguo has split up the family, and is not allowed to escape from Tian Fu's corvée service... If I had to say that there were scholar-bureaucrats, I thought it was possible to scrutinize one or two?"

This is because Sun Yan's prestige is not enough. Although he made a statement, someone immediately refuted it.

At this moment, Liu Bowen took a step forward and said, "Wang Canzheng, what you said so much is actually just an appearance. The core of the so-called scholar-officials lies in learning.

Liu Bowen said again: "I thought that during the exam, every effort was made to not allow the poor children to enter the school. It was just the way of making aristocratic clansmen, and it was the new generation of scholar-bureaucrats! This is my opinion!"

At this moment, Hu Weiyong also smiled and said, "Mr. Bowen, the admission is based on the merits, and the famous teacher selects the best apprentice. I don't think it is a big treason, right?"

Just as Liu Bowen was about to refute it, Qian Tang suddenly said: "Xiaguan remembers that the Taishi said that two things are considered public tools. One is officials who work for the court, and the other is academic knowledge! Since they are public weapons, can they be handed over to the teacher?"
