Chapter 574.

Zhu took over the charter.

In this regard, Zhu revealed a prudence that no one else had.

He sat and looked at it carefully, sinking his eyebrows now and then, and only after a long time did he say, “Only three things?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, when Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, he made three appointments, and in my opinion, there are many things that do not need to be lengthy! Often times, it is enough to do only two or three things.”

Zhu nodded: “County schools into public schools, widely accepted schoolchildren enrollment, teaching staff by the local readers in the recruitment, the state and county Xiu Cai people, etc., the implementation of the recruitment quasi-test system, if the ineffectiveness of the public school for two years, will not participate in the township examination?”

Zhu Di then, glanced at Zhang Anshi.

Xie Jinyin people, hear here, people are numb.

This will not only as a safeguard for the readers of the county school to the abolition of the school, and turn this into for people to read the enlightenment of the school, and even the source of this teacher, Zhang Anshi has also thought clearly, even came to a countryside examination access qualifications.

If a Xiu Cai wanted to continue the imperial examination, then he had to teach for two years first, which meant that the problem of large and cheap teachers was solved.

Zhu Di also said: “the prefectures, need to count the number of schoolchildren, the annual examination, the examination subjects, to simple literacy as well as arithmetic-based, the prefectures according to their schoolchildren more or less, calculating their schoolchildren through the rate of this merit examination of the prefectures and counties of the school officials ……”

Passing Rate …… Gong Exam ……

The people standing here are all human beings, although there are some new conceptual things in it, but by and large, in fact, the meaning of it, they know it in their hearts.

So Xie Jin subconsciously said, “Your Highness, the King of Song, every year to conduct the examination, and to pass the rate to determine the merit examination of the school officials, is it too harsh?”

Zhang Anshi, however, smiled and only lightly returned, “Establish the first wife to be the eldest.”

Once this was said, the monarchs and ministers were dumbfounded.

You don’t really have to waste your breath talking to smart people.

The so-called first to long, its antonym is to establish the virtuous, which is almost plagued the ancient people thousands of years of problems! But in the end, the establishment of the first wife to the long to be able to finally confirmed, and get the vast majority of people’s support, naturally, because, although the establishment of the virtuous, although on the surface, seems to be more beautiful, but in the process of practice, we realized that the establishment of the virtuous is simply a disaster.

Because the so-called virtuous, there is no standard, a no standard things, there is bound to be room for maneuver, and ultimately, the so-called establishment of the virtuous, on the contrary, has become the temple, people realize the ambitions of the tool, to the world of chaos.

The first to long, although not the best choice, but to ensure the continuation of the regime can be smooth, and smooth, for a dynasty, is the most rare and valuable thing.

Zhang Anshi to establish a first to long to respond, in fact, is to tell Xie Jin, other methods, may be very moving, and even theoretically, more beautiful, but if there is not a unified standard to measure, then ultimately, but also reduced to waste paper, into a piece of paper.

So through the rate of statistics, in essence, is to establish a standard, how the provinces and counties to implement or how to rack their brains, the only thing the court did, is to use a unified yardstick to measure their effectiveness.

And that effectiveness is the examination, which measures the goodness of a school official based on the pass rate of schoolchildren who pass literacy as well as arithmetic in each prefecture.

As for the school officials, in order to increase the passing rate, how to find ways to recruit better teachers, and what kind of teaching to adopt, how to encourage school children to study, and even develop their own incentives, all of the above, in fact, has nothing to do with the court.

This means that under a uniform standard, there are bound to be people who will do their own thing, and in order to ensure that more people get into school and more people can pass the exams, then local governance is bound to have a large amount of resources tilted towards the education side of the equation.

In fact, Zhang Anshi did not expect that everyone in the world could be educated for five or even nine years or even more than ten years. To be honest, this is too over-ambitious, Zhang Anshi’s goal is to strive for a certain degree of literacy, ordinary children, can be educated for two or three years, can memorize commonly used words, read the newspaper, and can skillfully grasp the simple calculation skills, in fact, is already burnt incense.

Zhang Anshi did not care whether these people, after finishing their studies, worked as farmers or laborers, or even received subsidies from the government to further their studies in various universities because of their good grades, because he only believed that large-scale literacy would definitely lead to qualitative changes in quantitative changes.

Even if only one out of a hundred of these people became successful, the benefit to the world would be immeasurable.

Not to mention the fact that mass literacy means that once these people who are able to master arithmetic and read and write enter the labor market, the impetus they will bring to the world will be enormous.

Heavenly Kingdom, a large population, but the population is not the driving force of social development, talent is, without large-scale education, many people can not read and write, muddled, can only engage in the simplest labor, and once because of the natural disasters and make such low labor efficiency pattern break, then the huge population, not become a welfare, but become the root cause of the scourge.

But Zhu Di was thoughtful, he has obviously realized that this has been considered the lowest cost, but can give the world’s people to educate the method.

But here’s the problem, mass enablement of showmen ……

Zhu Di did not immediately promised Zhang Anshi, but wrinkled eyebrows deep thought, and then stared at Zhang Anshi said: “with the talent to teach the world’s schoolchildren, if these talent, the heart of the resentment, will not bad people’s hearts and minds?”

As an emperor, Zhu Di thought more about the long term as well as the big picture.

Zhang Anshi since also understands Zhu Di’s concern here, but smiled and said: “Your Majesty, I thought otherwise, certainly there will be some people mouth grumbles, but I thought, the person’s words and behavior, will not be only by the influence of the teacher, but more, is combined with their own life experience, as well as their own situation, the growth of what they have seen and heard! These schoolchildren, most of the hardship, parents hard work, how will because of the showmen a few words of complaint, and breeding other ideas?”

After a pause, he went on to say, “Furthermore, after they are able to read and write, they will read the newspaper, and taking a step back, I thought that His Majesty should call on the doctors of the various university halls to formulate a syllabus for monks to standardize the teaching of the public schools in the states and counties of the world, and all of the above can be done as a precautionary measure against the gradual increase of the situation.”

Zhang Anshi this can be said to the point, Zhu Di heard, his face eased up, and then said: “This second, but to push the new policy to the world’s prefectures and counties …… just to implement the world, will certainly require a large number of clerical staff, which should be how to properly dispose of?”

Zhang Anshi obviously prepared, immediately said: “In the past, the court only appointed a few parents, they hope to be able to govern a county, and now in Zhili and other places, in fact, has begun to implement the new government, actually want to implement the world, I thought, from Zhili side, draw part of the backbone. In addition, the military side, model battalion this year, there are more than seven thousand six hundred people retired, can also be used as a supplement …… model battalion in the lieutenant, are able to read and write, but also already know arithmetic, naturally, can be competent ……”

Zhang Anshi thought for a moment and abruptly added, “In addition to that, recruiting some more separately should be enough.”

Zhu Di heard, nodded, and then seemed to think of something, and then said, “How much money and food do these need?”

“Not good to say.” Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di’s face, only then said: “your majesty, I thought, the account can not be calculated this way, the expenditure to expenditure, but after the implementation of the new policy after the revenue, but is immeasurable. Please the Ministry of household side, roughly discounted a number that is, I am optimistic about this.”

Zhu Di expressed his approval, lowered his head and swept another glance at the charter, saying, “This third article, permitting boat-dwelling people to disembark, distributing land, and allowing them to go down to the sea to fish, this …… is easy ……”

Zhang Anshi laughed: “the world’s boat-dwelling people, how much is also, this time, although only one of the boat-dwelling people, but the world’s most bitter, no more than boat-dwelling people. The court sympathizes with the boat-dwelling people, take the lead in improving their situation, in fact, is to set up wood for the letter, after all, the world’s new policy to implement and carry out, it always takes time, if the people of the world to see the boat-dwelling people’s situation can be greatly improved, it is the same as ate a pill of peace of mind.”

After thinking about it, he added: “In addition, I thought, the world’s land, after all, is limited to unlimited manpower, if they are not allowed to leave the countryside, over time, then rely on these barren land, how can feed the world’s millions of people, which the Taizu High Emperor when some of the limitations of the people’s order …… whether ……”

“Cough ……” Zhu Di coughed, reminding Zhang Anshi to keep quiet, while his eyes swept Xie Jin.

Xie Jinyin immediately understand, busy: “Your Majesty …… the time of Emperor Taizu Gaozu, there are not allowed to people AWOL from the countryside of the law, but …… if I remember well, this edict in Hongwu seven years promulgated to implement, can be in Hongwu fifteen years When, jingchu big disaster, emperor tazu high and another decree, local people are allowed to travel far away to avoid the disaster. From this, Emperor Taizu’s decree, flexible and changeable, Emperor Taizu is what a great master, open my Ming foundation, the work of the world, therefore, I thought, Your Majesty should also follow the example of Emperor Taizu ……”

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction, “Well, I have been reminiscent of Emperor Taizu, today Xie Qing mentioned, under the sky, who can be more knowledgeable than Xie Qing? Then the solution of the Secretary to come to speak, I want to follow the example of Emperor Taizu high what?”

Xie Jinyin color: “Emperor Taizu’s administration, flexible and changeable, that shall not be trespassed from the countryside, but there is also something urgent from the right to say, there is this visible, Taizu’s ancestral system, the importance of its flexibility, not confined to a piece of paper edicts, but to the people of the people as the idea of the people at any time for the improvement of, by no means due to the same as all the generations of faints, only for the so-called ‘the word goes with the law’, stubbornness, and disregard for the people’s livelihood. Words follow the law’, obstinacy, without regard for the livelihood of the people, your majesty following the will of emperor tai zu high emperor, also should follow the example of emperor tai zu high emperor’s words and deeds, not to stick to one pattern, only then the upper is not lost respect for heaven and law ancestor, the lower for the people’s life.”

Zhu Di listened, nodded repeatedly, admiringly looked at Xie Jin said: “Xie Qing’s words, so that I am enlightened, right right right, I take is the essence of the law of the ancestors, the only flexible and changeable, can cope with today’s world of the chaos of the situation, Xie Qing know things from ancient times and past, understand the big idea, then, this …… promulgation of the world The edict of the new government will be drafted and embellished by Xie Qing.”

Xie Jin said, “I obey the order.”

Zhu then let out a long breath, seemingly looking much better for having solved one thing.

At this time, he looked at Xie Jin and said, “Xie Qing’s children, are they still in Java?”

“Yes.”

Zhu said, “Go back home to Jishui, they have been wandering around for a long time and it’s time for them to go home.”

It was a bit of a sudden statement, and it also seemed to make sense.

Xie Jinyin thought for a moment and said: “Your Majesty, I …… also follow the example of Emperor Taizu Gao, to take the essence of its flexible and changeable, now the world pattern has been renewed, how can I go against the trend? I thought, there is nothing wrong with Java, my son and daughter, stay in Java, can not only assist the King of Zhao, but also for the Ming clan screen, why not?”

His words made even Zhu Di stand in awe.

Zhu has always thought that Xie Jin is hoping that the family to return to their own old family to go, did not expect ……

Hu Guang was Xie Jin’s words, said the blood boiling, for a time there will be their own sons and daughters packaged to send the impulse to the sea.

Only Zhang Anshi expressionless, he knows a little more clearly than others, know that Xie Jin his Jishui townspeople pit miserable, this time if you jump back to Jishui home to go, I’m afraid that the ancestral graves have to be dug clean, I’m afraid that the solution family is not resistant to beatings ah!

But obviously not know the reason Zhu Di, at this time a face of emotion, said: “Xie Qing is a loyal minister ah.”

After a few moments of lamentation, eventually, his eyes fell on Xia Xuan, who had accompanied Zhang Anshi to the palace.

Seeing that Xia Xuan was young and in a good mood at the moment, he was also a bit curious and immediately said, “Who is this person?”

Zhang Anshi said, “It is the postman who entered the capital to report this time, and this time in Fujian Buzhengji, his credit is not small.”

Zhu Di saw this postman in front of him, quite a bit of extraordinary, they were interested in asking about the details of the counterinsurgency.

Xia Xuan was also bold, and immediately spoke in colorful detail.

Hearing the Great Song Emperor here, Zhu Di since openly laughed loudly and said, “The Great Song Emperor …… ha ha ha …… these thieves, but also dare to bathe in monkeys.”

On the contrary, Zhang Anshi’s body also tensed up when he heard the words Emperor Song, and his heart was quite tense.

Zhu Di seemed to look at Zhang Anshi with some feeling and said, “Zhang Qing, I have enthroned you as the King of Song, and here we have the Great Song Emperors, who are even brothers-in-law with you.”

Zhang Anshi only felt very heart blocked, gritted his teeth and said, “These thieves, must be because of the hatred of the minister, only deliberately so! These thieves, are really malicious and cunning, I can’t wait to eat their flesh.”

Zhu Di stroked his beard, actually said, “Then good, I satisfy you, and so on these traitors escorted into the capital, I will give them to Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing born to eat their meat to solve the hatred.”

“Ah …… this ……” Zhang Anshi was a bit confused, his face stiffened and said, “Forget it, forget it, I’m joking. ”

Zhu smiled and nudged him with his hand, “You ah you ……”

“This …… this ……”

Instead, at this time, Xia Xuan said, “Your Majesty, I thought that His Highness the King of Song …… is really redoubtable ……”

Zhu Di came to be interested and inquired of Xia Xuan, “Why is this?”

Xia Xuan said in a serious manner, “The Great Ancestor, the High Emperor, said that it is flexible and versatile, His Majesty is a filial son, since also flexible and versatile, His Highness, the King of Song, is a loyal subject, but also all the time not to His Majesty, even these are emulated to go, this is not the red-bellied loyalty?”

For a moment, the sky was chatted to death.

The hall was surprisingly quiet, and no one spoke.

Xia Xuan, on the other hand, still had a look on his face that made it impossible for people to tell whether this guy was really stupid, or whether he was just speaking out of sarcasm.

Zhu was silent for a moment before he said, “What is your name?”

Xia Xuan said, “My humble self, Xia Xuan.”

The word Xia Xuan came out, but it attracted the attention of the people who understood Jinyin and others.

When Xia Yuanji in the Jianwen dynasty and the early years of Yongle, Xie Jin, Yang Rong, Hu Guang, Jin Youzi, etc., because it is a latecomer to the sake of the latecomer, not less by Xia Yuanji care, especially Hu Guang and Yang Rong, said to have a good family, it is not too much.

This Xia Xuan, in fact, they have seen, only then, Xia Xuan is still young, plus this time Xia Xuan went to Fujian Province Ministerial Department, because of the sun and rain, appearance has been a lot of changes, even if you only feel vaguely familiar, but would not have thought, standing in front of the Imperial Court of the person, is the son of the deceased.

But now that he called himself Xia Xuan, and now that he scrutinized his features, suddenly, it seemed as if he understood something.

Hu Guang was the first to not hold back and said, “Your Majesty, this son …… is the son of Duke Xia.”

“Which Xia Gong ……” See Hu Guang this surprised reaction, Zhu Di is full of doubts.

Hu Guang immediately said, “The Crown Prince ……”

These four concise and clear words came out, and Zhu Di suddenly came to a sudden realization, and then subconsciously looked at Xia Xuan and said, “Since you are the son of Xia Qing, why did you go to work as a postman?”

Xia Xuan was very frank and said, “My father was stubborn, and I had a quarrel with him, and left home in anger, and heard that there was something to be done in the Postal Service, so I went there in a confused manner.”

But apparently, with this reply, he caused the monarchs and ministers to burst into laughter.

Zhu did not tease, but smiled, “You are honest, better than your father.”

Xia Xuan said unabashedly, “I’m not being honest, I just don’t dare to hide it.”

Zhu Di nodded his head, the color of admiration in his eyes, said, “You and the righteous soldiers of the counter-insurgency, I will order the Ministry of Appointments and the Ministry of War for you to recount the merits ……”

After saying that, Zhu Di glanced at the dusty Xia Xuan, what he was wearing was the green clothes of an ordinary postman, just all the way to the saddle and horse labor, even some tatters.

Immediately, Zhu said, “Also lost ha.”

Yiluoha, who was on the side, immediately said, “The slave girl is here.”

“First give him a flying fish coat, such a meritorious official, how can he be taught to be so shabby? The world will make fun of it.”

Also lost ha laughs, but already comprehended Zhu’s meaning.

In fact, this meaning, Xie Jin and others have also understood.

Theoretically speaking, the court does not have official clothes, or, in general, the officials who have been authorized, are their own official clothes.

But there is a situation, is the exception and special, is the palace will often be close to the ministers also or made the merit of the ministers to give clothes, can give clothes and there is a harsh distinction, both the gift of the python clothes, there is also the gift of the unicorn clothes, as well as the fish clothes, tiger clothes, leopard clothes and so on.
