Gou in Daming, I was overheard by Zhu Yuanzhang

"Why not?" Zhu Yunqi asked.

Bai Qixiu said: "The content of the test was determined by the late emperor and cannot be changed without authorization. This is one of them. To increase the content of the test, a large number of "Mengxi Bi Tan" needs to be printed. This is another huge expense. How can the majority of students afford it? ?”

Zhu Yunwen said: "What is my grandfather's most important thing? One word: agriculture! Without agriculture, how can we get food? Among the contents of the imperial examination, which book is about agriculture? It is in "Mengxi Bi Tan"!"

"Harvesting depends on the weather, and it also depends on farm tools. What do farm tools rely on? Craftsmen and craftsmen! Among the content of the imperial examination, which book is a craftsman's book? It is in "Mengxi Bi Tan"!"

Zhu Yunqi did a lot of homework last night, and now he talked about the benefits of "Mengxi Bi Tan", almost eloquently, so that he believed it.

Grandpa Huang is indeed an expert. It is very reasonable and has many benefits to use "Mengxi Bi Tan" as the content of the exam!
Seeing that everyone was still talking, Zhu Yunwen said again: "My emperor's grandfather always believed that educating people should not be based on diction and memorization. Even the Imperial College is the same. Supervisors must care about current affairs and people's livelihood. They don't understand agriculture or work. , How can we talk about paying attention to people's livelihood and understanding people's sentiments?"

"Wu Congquan, Zhang Heng, do you still remember these two?"

Zhu Yunqi's question made the ministers silent.

In July of the 25th year of Hongwu, Xuezheng, Instructors, and Disciplines from all over the country who had reached their service years came to Beijing for performance appraisal, waiting for promotion.

Zhu Yuanzhang met with them one by one and personally assessed them.

Zhu Yuanzhang seldom asked them how their education was doing, but more about the living conditions of the common people, how much wheat and rice could be harvested per mu of land.

Among them, Lanzhou Xuezheng Wu Congquan and Shanyin Jiaoyu Zhang Heng said they didn't know when they were asked.

The pair also claimed that it was not their role and that their mission was simply to teach.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry when he heard this, saying that the way of sages and sages is used to help the world and calm the people. You don't even know the people's sentiments, so what are you teaching every day?

As a result, these two people were exiled to the frontier, and finally died in the frontier.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is a good old man, and he wanted to object at first, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

After all, he was about to retire and return to his hometown. Although he also placed bets in the gambling house, fortunately, he didn't make many bets.

Bai Qixiu was the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, the highest education management institution, and at this time he was completely bewildered by Zhu Yunqi's rhetoric.

Obviously, Zhu Yunqi came prepared and did his homework in advance.

It seems that Zhu Yunqi's determination to reform the imperial examination system has long been made.

But what is so frustrating is that Zhu Yunqi said the day before yesterday that he would not reform the imperial examination system!

Isn't this playing people?

This is to pit civil servants to death!
Bai Qixiu was really not reconciled, he didn't care whether the imperial examination system should be reformed at this time, let alone whether to take the "Mengxi Bi Tan" or not.

What he cares about is the bet he has made, the gold that has been invested!

If you lose this, you will really have no way to live in the future!
Suddenly, Bai Qixiu thought of an idea.

It's more of a business opportunity than an idea.

Because the content of the imperial examination is relatively fixed, especially the Four Books and Five Classics, almost every student has a set.

There is basically no space to make a fuss from the textbooks.

But now Zhu Yunqi said that he would add a new exam content: "Mengxi Bi Tan"!
Then, students all over the country must buy this set of books!
From the Guozijian directly under the imperial court to the prefectural schools, prefectural schools, county schools, religious schools, and sociological schools in various places, you have to buy them.

Unless they don't want to take the imperial examination.

Unless it is that officials from all over the country do not want to be promoted and do not want political achievements.

If the task of printing "Mengxi Bi Tan" is won to the Imperial College, and only the Imperial College can print or supervise the printing!

Isn't this a fat difference?
How profitable is it to print "Mengxi Bi Tan"? !
This profit is simply unimaginable!

If you hand over a part to the imperial court, the Guozijian will of course intercept a part of it. As the Guozijian sacrifice wine, how can you get less benefits?

As for losing those hundreds of taels of gold in the gambling house, it was nothing at all.

"Your Majesty, I agree with the reform of the science and technology system, and I support the inclusion of "Mengxi Bi Tan" in the examination content." Bai Qixiu said.

The civil servants all rolled their eyes at Bai Qixiu!

Bai Qixiu, do you have a bit of backbone?

Just now, despite Zhu Yunqi's prohibition on kneeling, Zhu Yunqi took back his order, but his attitude has changed drastically in the blink of an eye!

What Zhu Yunqi said was reasonable, but taking "Mengxi Bi Tan" as the content of the exam is really a bit of a joke.

Learning is valuable than anything else.

Not all books are tall!

Only those scriptures handed down from ancient times are high!It is a classic for scholars to study for life!
What kind of book is "Mengxi Bi Tan"?

No idea, no artistry!
This book is completely out of reach!
You, Bai Qixiu, are the Imperial Academy Jijiu, and you actually support the inclusion of this set of books in the exam content!

Including this set of books in the imperial examination content means lowering the grade of scholars and raising the status of low-level farmers and workers!
Qi Tai recalled that Zhu Yunqi had just abolished the rules about riding horses, sitting in sedan chairs, and dressing.

The reason why the first emperor formulated these rules was to distinguish between upper and lower, superior and inferior, and high and low.

Is Zhu Yunqi really going to reverse the social class? !

The first emperor overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty and completely reversed the social classes established by the Yuan people.

The first emperor's approach was of course welcomed and supported by the Han people.

But wouldn't Zhu Yunqi's actions cause confusion and social turmoil?
Qi Tai was about to refute Bai Qixiu, but Bai Qixiu said again: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, please send the printing of "Mengxi Bi Tan" to the Imperial College, and I promise not to spend any money on the court."

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he immediately understood that Bai Qixiu was unwilling to lose money.

He also said that he didn't want a penny from the court!The words are high-sounding, for the sake of the court.

In fact, he opened his mouth all over the place and collected money from bachelors!

I thought Bai Qixiu was sincerely supporting him, but I didn't expect that he wanted to gain personal gain for himself!
I thought about the printing of "Mengxi Bi Tan" last night!

Of course, it must be handed over to the Daming Institute of Science and Technology. If the Daming Institute of Science and Technology can print "Ming Pao", of course it can also print "Mengxi Bi Tan"!
What's more, Sun Zhonglian, the treasurer of Daming Industrial Group, used to be engaged in printing and publishing.

The largest printing departments of the imperial court were Lijian and Guozijian. In addition, departments such as the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and Qin Tianjian were also engaged in printing.

Printing is also a channel for various departments to make some extra money.

The reason why Zhu Yunqi was handed over to the Daming Institute of Science and Technology was mainly because the Daming Institute of Science and Technology was Zhu Yuanzhang's most important thing.

Before that, Li Jinglong led troops to besiege!
Giving such a large profit to Daming Institute of Science and Technology is also to restore the influence in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

"Bai Qixiu, I have already made a decision on the printing of "Mengxi Bi Tan", and I will hand it over to Daming Institute of Science and Technology. Don't think about it."

Zhu Yunwen said with a sullen face.

Bai Qixiu didn't expect this to happen!
I originally wanted to print "Mengxi Bi Tan" in exchange for Zhu Yunqi.

I support your reform of the imperial examination system, and you let me eat a piece of fat.

Who knew that Zhu Yunxuan was so cruel, I did the thing that offended the ministers, and I didn't even show it at all!

Don't talk about fat meat, Bai Qixiu at this moment is like swallowing a piece of rotten meat full of flies!
