"How dare you strike the exam?!"
Zhu Youxiao asked first.Then, Zhu Youxiao said disdainfully: "Boycotting the examination means that there is no desire to serve the court, his clan and parents are not properly educated, and he himself has the heart of the court, the boycott is okay, but don't want to get preferential treatment from the court, and his family is not worthy of being listed as a great Ming scholar; It is proposed that all those who reject the examination will be removed from their fame and will never be used, and their clan will not be allowed to participate in the scientific examination for three generations, and all preferential taxes granted by the imperial court to themselves and their clan will be recovered. ”Zhu Youxiao behaved very calmly.There is a reason why Zhu Youxiao is so calm.Because he is not a son of heaven who really only grew up in the deep palace.He knew very well how widespread the number of scholars in the Ming Dynasty was more than two hundred years after Chengping.As far as Zhu Youxiao knows, in some counties there are thousands of people who are preparing for the exam.And Zhu Youxiao had read the research on the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life, and he also knew that the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty was not high, whether it was a student or a lifter, or a jinshi.Basically, three to five out of 10,000 jinshi are taken.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao knew that there were scholars in Daming who wanted to be famous.Otherwise, there would be no one in their eighties who still insists on taking the imperial examination.In Zhu Youxiao's view, the imperial examination system is a magic weapon for the imperial court to control the world's scholars, rather than a tool used by the world's scholars to blackmail the emperor.Because the Ming Dynasty is not the era of the family gate valve.The number of official positions and scholars that can be provided to scholars to grasp power is in short supply, and it is a pattern of more monks and less porridge.What's more, in this era, the only position with social status is to be an official.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was not worried about hundreds of scholars boycotting the examination at all.And Han Yi, Sun Ruyou, and Qian Qianyi were naturally very surprised and angry when they heard Zhu Youxiao say this, they didn't expect that this did not scare the Son of Heaven.Even the Son of Heaven directly wanted to remove the merits of the examiners, never use them, and even prevent them from participating in the imperial examinations for three generations.Han Yi couldn't help but say proudly: "Your Majesty, this is completely fearless!"
There are many people in the world who want to be officials, and they don't take scholars seriously. ”"Your Majesty, most of these scholars who have been boycotted are full of poetry and books, and their talents are outstanding, and the imperial court should be the first to select those who are truly talented and learned, so the boycott of nearly a thousand scholars this time should not be taken lightly, and they are not unwilling to serve the court, but are just dissatisfied with the court's current mistreatment of Shilin."
Sun Ruyou couldn't help but get excited at this time, he really wanted to let his majesty respect the scholar a little.Zhu Youxiao squinted at Sun Ruyou: "Dissatisfied?
Do they dare to be dissatisfied?
Preferential exemption from service, travel can't be forbidden, officials don't kneel, the court treats them so much more than the common people, if any of them is dissatisfied, it is really ungrateful, do not know loyalty and filial piety!
Not only did I not allow his three generations to participate in the imperial examination as officials, but also his three clans and three generations could not participate in the imperial examination!
Because of his family style, clan style, and the upbringing of his relatives, there must also be problems!
He himself should be exiled!
In this way, it is proposed to declare that if anyone who strikes the examination dares to be dissatisfied, once it is verified, it will be dealt with so strictly!
”"Yes!"
Fang Congzhe replied.And Sun Ruyou couldn't help but be shocked: "Your Majesty, you can't think like that, governing the country needs talents, and most of these candidates are martyrs, pillars of the future!"
”Zhu Youxiao didn't think there was any difference between these hundreds of boycotted scholars and those who didn't.After all, they are all a kind of learning, and they are all good at writing eight strands.The only difference may be that the level of the eight strands is different, and there may be a difference in political concepts, some people read the scriptures crookedly and only care about the face of their scholars, while others pay more attention to the interests of the entire society and the people of the world for various reasons.Otherwise, most of the champions in history will not be able to do nothing, and even if there are a few famous ones, they are only famous in learning or integrity, which has nothing to do with the general trend of history.In Zhu Youxiao's view, whether it is a talent can only be seen after being admitted by participating in court disputes and military and political affairs.Some can quickly train in practice to become a qualified politician.Some have become only aware of following the crowd and accumulating wealth to harm others.Some even have neither the ability to govern the country nor the ability to harm others, and usually sit idly by and talk about their hearts, and report to the king when they die.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao felt that if he wanted to select real talents, it was better to expand the number of admissions, so as to increase the screening surface, and then conduct training and further screening after admission.Just like after the expansion of college students in later generations, many units or enterprises will first summon a large number of fresh graduates to be reserve cadres, anyway, they can't see who is better than whom, so they simply recruit them first, and then train.Zhu Youxiao also plans to recruit more Jinshi into the court in the future, and then train some administrative and technical officials through the construction of some administrative colleges and technical colleges in the later period.After all, the ruling party must need officials with strong comprehensive administrative ability; On the other hand, some officials do not have strong overall administrative ability, but they have extraordinary abilities in carrying out projects, engaging in economics, or adjudicating cases.Therefore, in Zhu Youxiao's view, it is necessary to expand the admission quota and then retrain the imperial examination system for admitting officials after the Ming Dynasty.After all, some officials who have professional expertise in a certain area may not be very good at eight shares.Even officials who are particularly strong in terms of comprehensive ability are not necessarily particularly good at Bagu's writing ability.Moreover, the expansion of enrollment is also conducive to allowing more children from poor families who are not very strong in learning because of insufficient educational resources, but who are actually good in ability, to have an opportunity to enter the court and compete with the children of high families.However, after the expansion, the number of gentry will increase, the number of people with tax-free privileges will also increase, the social burden will also increase, and the treasury revenue will be further reduced.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao felt that while expanding the recruitment of people and scholars, it was necessary to abolish the tax-free privileges of the gentry as soon as possible, and to establish as soon as possible the taxes on the privileged class, such as the official gentry's integrated payment of grain and errands, as well as the mansion tax, inheritance tax, and mining tax.But now, Zhu Youxiao has to expand the number of recruiters and jinshi first.Because Zhu Youxiao had to first depreciate the scholars of Juren and Jinshi, so as to force the entire scholar group to make concessions in many ways in order to compete for the limited number of official positions within the Ming Dynasty.For example, in order to allow his northern gentry to occupy more official positions, he had to agree to the emperor's increase in commercial taxes.For example, in order to occupy more official positions and crack down on scholars who were different from their own political concepts and advocated merchant, scholars and doctors who favored agriculture and suppressed commerce had to agree with the emperor to implement the integration of officials and gentry to pay grain.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao said next: "The real loyal and filial man will not be dissatisfied with the imperial court, nor will he willfully turn his back on the monarch because of what is bad in the imperial court, the real loyal and filial piety is that he thinks that the imperial court is not good, and he will actively transform the imperial courtI believe that scholars who are interested in serving the imperial court can see my thirst for talent, and they will be grateful to me, and suddenly there are fifty more places for lifting people and one hundred places for jinshi, I am good enough. ”Zhu Youxiao said.Han Yi, Sun Ruyou, and Qian Qianyi were shocked when they heard it.Only Fang Congzhe's half-white thick eyebrows raised slightly, and smiled lightly, this is really a good thing for my northern scholars.
