Chapter 1264 Department of Education

"Regret..." Mr. Guanghai repeated in a low voice after hearing this, and seemed to be asking himself again, looking at the roof with a little dull eyes.

Thinking of what happened in my life, there is no time when I can go smoothly.In the beginning, he was not valued by his father and king, and later he came to power with great difficulty. The rise of the Qing Dynasty from Liaodong was nothing at all.As a result, the Great Ming's Saarhu battle was a disastrous defeat. After that battle, I felt that I had clearly seen the strength of the external power but the internal strength of the Ming Dynasty, and thought that the Ming Empire was at the end of its rope.

It is based on this judgment that I have a choice.But...but...who would have thought that even the land of Gyeonggi was invaded by the Qing Dynasty, but in the end it was able to come back to life, defeated the Qing Dynasty completely, and was even driven out of the sea, and fled to Japan like a bereaved dog Come……

Seeing that Mr. Guanghai was silent, Wu Daji asked coldly again: "North Korea has been angered by His Highness, and the country has been ruined, and the foundation of the ancestors has been lost. Does Your Highness regret it?"

"Hahaha..." After hearing this, Mr. Guanghai suddenly burst out laughing wildly. Contrary to his weak voice before, it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength.

After a while, he looked at Wu Daji, stared into his eyes and replied decisively: "If I do it all over again, Gu's decision will still not change. Regret? Is regret useful? It's just success and defeat. Qing defeated Daming, you probably came to add Gu's toes again, it must be Gu Yingming? Hahaha..."

Hearing this, Wu Daji's face flashed with anger, he took a few steps forward, grabbed Mr. Guanghai by the collar, and stared at him angrily, as if he wanted to eat Mr. Guanghai.

However, Mr. Guanghai was not afraid at all, with a cold face, he looked back into Wu Daji's eyes, just staring at him wordlessly.

In the end, Wu Daji didn't make any further movements, let go of Mr. Guanghai as soon as he let go, turned his head and left without any hesitation.

The moment he stepped out of the door, laughter suddenly came from the room, with pride, madness, and madness...

When Wu Daji heard it, he paused, as if he wanted to turn around and go in.But he didn't turn around in the end, but strode away instead.I don't know if it's the distance or something else, but I feel that the laughter behind me soon weakens.

That night, someone came to report that Mr. Guanghai had died.

Wu Daji was not surprised when he heard this, what should he do or what should he do, it seems that the person who died was not the former king of Joseon, his reaction was almost the same as that the person who died was a passer-by.

The news of Mr. Guanghai's death also reached Toyotomi Kunimatsu's ears.He was emotional, but he didn't express further.

Toyotomi Kunimatsu's current situation is the same as that of Mr. Guanghai, being under surveillance and losing his freedom, but his living conditions are better than Mr. Guanghai's.At this time, he actually regretted luring the wolf into the house.He was not sure, if the Wa country was really defeated by the Manchus, would his sign be useful to the Manchus?If it's useless, isn't it just under house arrest like it is now?But if Manchu was suppressed by the Tokugawa shogunate, he could at least be sure that he would never survive!

If I had known today, I would have lived quietly at the beginning, how wonderful it would be!

For these two people in the Wa country, whether they really regret it or not, it doesn't really matter.However, Emperor Ming can be sure that he will never regret it.

Eight years of Chongzhen will pass in a blink of an eye.This year is neither good nor bad for Emperor Chongzhen!
I learned through the chat group that the Chinese New Year is already approaching, but there is no snow in Shanxi and Shaanxi.This means that next spring, Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces are likely to experience natural disasters, which must be prevented in advance.

Because of this, Emperor Chongzhen personally went to Xu Guangqi's mansion, watched his recuperation situation, and then consulted the situation of agricultural administration in Qin and Jin Dynasties.After all, Xu Guangqi is at least an authority in agriculture.Of course, Daming has actually had a disaster relief system since the founding of the country.Emperor Chongzhen took the first step to prepare in light of the current situation.

In the original history, in February of the ninth year of Chongzhen, after years of drought and insect plagues in Shanxi, a major famine occurred in March.At that time, the hungry people had no food, so they had to eat bark and grass leaves.When the bark and grass leaves are exhausted, people eat each other.

Although the history of the late Ming Dynasty was influenced by factors of the Little Ice Age, man-made disasters were the main cause. If the government and the people were united, what would Little Ice River do?
The original Emperor Chongzhen actually understood this truth.On the tenth day of the fifth month of the next year, he issued an edict to the world, saying: I uphold the way of heaven, and I bow down to all directions. If you think of this soldier and civilian, who is not a child? for.One or two ignorance, and gradually become a threat to follow the crowd.Over the past few years, innocent people have been killed, but I don't know how many times.I am heartbroken and sympathetic, let me sleep peacefully...

However, what if he knew?With his ability, there is no way to turn the tide!Only the soul from later generations, with a golden thigh, can turn things around in just a few years.Because of this, let the Chinese civilization avoid catastrophe and stand on top of the world.

On this plane, Nanyang is already the territory of Ming Dynasty. Although the feudal king has been sealed in the past, there is a shortage of everything in the feudal kingdom, except for food.Nanyang’s food was continuously sent back to China in exchange for the large number of products produced by the advent of the steam engine, which can be described as a mutually beneficial and win-win move.

Having said that, at the end of the eighth year of Chongzhen, except for the possibility of natural disasters, other aspects are basically good news.Most directly, the revenue of the national treasury has increased greatly.However, the increase this time is a bit beyond everyone's expectations.

Originally, it was thought that there would be new feudal states, and the scale of overseas trade would further expand, and the taxation of sea trade would always maintain the first position in the revenue of the treasury.As a result, as soon as the statistical results came out, after the implementation of the new salt policy, the income from this salt tax immediately increased by leaps and bounds, exceeding the tax revenue growth rate of Haimao!
Seeing this result, Emperor Chongzhen and his ministers were all beaming with joy.Before this, they never thought that the salt tax could collect so much!
"Your Majesty's salt policy is really powerful!" Wen Tiren boasted to his face without hesitation, "Just this first year's salt tax revenue has reached tens of millions of taels, which is almost tripled. many!"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, and was also happy in his heart. He replied with a smile: "It's really nothing. I have such a large population in Ming Dynasty, and salt is a necessity. How can there be only a little salt tax like before! My New Deal , fundamentally impact private salt, the price of official salt is lower than that of private salt, directly crowding out the market for private salt, so that the income of salt tax is obvious. I believe that next year's salt tax will be higher than that of private salt. More this year!"

"Your Majesty is holy!" Wen Tiren happily kissed another flattery. At this time, he had the feeling that the emperor would make money. Of course, he would really make money. He should not be too comfortable as the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty. up!
In the Wenhua Palace, the other courtiers were similar, and all of them were happy.Among them, Bi Ziyan, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, was the most deeply moved.

In the early years, every time it was about to celebrate the New Year, it was the time when he, the minister of the household department, had the most headache.Rats can be starved to death in the national treasury, but all places need money for the New Year. At that time, they didn’t know how to spend the New Year.

It seems that since Jianlu invaded Gyeonggi, the emperor seemed to be stimulated. Since then, every year has been better, and the end of each year has become a moment that people look forward to.If the treasury income at the end of this year is in the past, it is estimated that even if you die, you will not believe it.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the courtiers below, and said with a smile: "Although the revenue of the treasury has increased a lot, according to my plan, the money is not enough. I must continue to work hard next year!"

Regarding these words, Wen Tiren and the others were not surprised at all.Money, who would think too much?

The emperor will make money, but he will also spend money!
After receiving the responses from the ministers, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "The foundation of my great Ming power lies in education. Therefore, I decided to continue to invest in education. Used to manage Daming Education..."

Upon hearing this, Wen Tiren and the others were neither surprised nor surprised.

The emperor attaches great importance to the education of the Ming people, and they all know this.It can be seen from the establishment of children's schools in various parts of Ming Dynasty, and the fact that school-age children go to school for free.Such a thing has never happened before.

In addition, they are not very surprised to build a new Yamen.Because before that, the emperor had created a new Ministry of Communications, which was dedicated to managing the national infrastructure, and its status was the same as that of the six ministries.In addition, under the Ministry of Industry, a new science and technology office was established.

They were a little surprised that the new yamen the emperor wanted to set up was dedicated to managing education.They thought that the emperor paid enough attention to education compared to other emperors, but they didn't expect that the emperor's emphasis on education was far beyond their imagination.

In the Ming Dynasty, after the founding of the country by Taizu, in terms of education system, the capital had Guozijian, and there were prefectural schools, prefectural schools, county schools, and health schools in Weisuo schools in the local area. responsibility, not an educational management institution.

The Ming Dynasty did not have a full-time institution for education management, but only a commissioner.That is, from the first year of Zhengtong, a promotion officer was set up to envoy the admiral to supervise the education and administration.The officials served, from the ministers of various ministries (from the second rank) to the ministers of the various ministries (the fifth rank), etc., are simply used by those who were born as Jinshi.Therefore, there is no fixed grade for education and politics in each province. If you teach education and politics as a servant, you will be the second grade, and if you teach education and politics as a doctor, you will be the fifth grade.

In a sense, the position of admiral, education and politics is more like an imperial envoy, and not all educational institutions in later generations.

Of course, the school still has school regulations. Hongwu issued 15 school regulations in [-] years.

Naturally, the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty in the Wenhua Palace knew all about these situations. After all, the people standing in the palace today all passed the imperial examination and experienced it personally.Regarding the fact that the emperor attached great importance to education, they would not object with the view that "fooling the people is better for ruling".Otherwise, when the emperor promotes scientific and technological knowledge, someone will jump out and talk about it.

Of course, in the final analysis, the prestige of Emperor Chongzhen was high enough to firmly control the court, and there were not so many bad things.

I heard Emperor Chongzhen continue to talk about his train of thought on the above: "It takes ten years to grow trees, a hundred years to cultivate people, and the education plan can't be overemphasized. The future of Ming Dynasty I imagined is impossible without a large number of scholars. I also publicly made a great wish before, that everyone in Daming should have books to read. This is not just talk, and it must not be a mere situation. Therefore, I think that on the basis of the current treasury revenue, Daming has the ability to set up a special management The yamen of education, full-time education management!"

Regarding what to do with the new yamen, these courtiers have no right to speak. After all, it is the emperor's new idea, so they can only listen silently with their ears.

"I have decided to set up a new Education Department, directly under the Ministry of Rites, led by the Minister of Rites, responsible for education management, mainly for the management of the students across the country, as well as the teaching content of the school system at all levels, school expansion and other education-related content..."

In Emperor Chongzhen's conception, the Department of Education was an important office under the Ministry of Rites, and the first responsible person was directly designated as Minister of the Ministry of Rites. This also shows that he attached great importance to the Department of Education.

Sun Yuanhua, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was delighted when he heard this.The Department of Education is under his control, which is equivalent to adding a new piece of power.More importantly, he felt that from now on, he would not be the mentor of all scholars, right?
Of course, he also vaguely understood that the reason why the emperor let him take charge was because he was a strong supporter of promoting scientific and technological knowledge.The meaning of the emperor should also be that in education, he should be more inclined to the dissemination and learning of scientific and technological knowledge.

The other courtiers actually understood this point.Although Xu Guangqi retired from illness and returned to his hometown, with the emperor, the biggest promoter of scientific and technological knowledge, there would be no possibility of recurrence.

Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Wen Tiren and others asked a few questions about the newly established education office. After the confirmation reply, there are no doubts.

Emperor Chongzhen was not surprised by this. He knew that if the treasury had no income, the establishment of a new yamen would easily attract opposition. After all, if there were too many monks and too little food, it would be normal for monks to fight.But now that the treasury revenue is increasing year by year, there will not be many conflicts of interest.

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen decided to give them all a big red envelope. It's New Year's Eve, they all have to be happy and happy, so that everyone can get ahead!
