Opening Pirate Clips: Fifteen Shocking Famous Scenes

Chapter 330 Stereotyped selection of scholars, from ancient times to the present

[In view of the lessons of the decline and fall of the previous dynasty, Emperor Hongwu attached great importance to education, built schools, selected academic officials, and set education as an important indicator to measure the achievements of officials]

[And will personally ask about politics, and will mercilessly dismiss capable officials who do not pay attention to education]

[The requirements for Guozi Xueguan are even higher. Emperor Hongwu requires them to not only pay attention to the national economy and people's livelihood, but also have the ability to participate in and discuss state affairs, and will personally ask about politics, and those who fail to meet the standards will be mercilessly reprimanded]

"The requirements are really high!"

Li Shimin couldn't help being speechless, although he felt that it was too much to go too far.

But he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was right to do so.

Intellectuals must be worthy of their status and the preferential treatment given to them by the imperial court.

What kind of treatment you enjoy depends on what kind of ability you have.

certainly…

He does not particularly agree with Zhu Yuanzhang's practice of hating iron but not steel.

Because this may lead to officials all over the world, all talking on paper.

[Attention to the imperial examination, the establishment of stereotyped essays, the content of the examination is limited to the four books and five classics, and the answers are given within the prescribed range, which strictly limits the talents and thoughts of scholars, and cannot express their personal opinions, analyze the ills of current affairs, and lead to empty and untrue articles]

[Severely imprisoned thought and imprisoned the development of culture, causing officials to solve problems for the sake of solving problems, without practical political ability, and reduced to a generation of rhetoric]

Originally seeing that he attached importance to the imperial examination, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily.

This is an important cultural achievement!

It also puts a lot of light on the face.

But those critical words later directly changed his face.

Whether it's imprisoning ideas, writing flashy articles, or electing bombasts, these are not good words.

All that's left is to write 'formalism'!

"Could it be that we did something wrong when we tested the Four Books and Five Classics and other sages' words?"

There were bloodshot eyes in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and his complexion was a little unsightly.

All the emperors saw this...

They can only say that Zhu Yuanzhang does have certain class limitations, as the Xian family said.

Examining the words of the sages cannot fix the scope to death.

If the words of a sage can govern the country well, then it is not a sage, but a god.

The imagination must be allowed to play, and the talents of the scholars can be used freely.

Only in this way can we create a splendid cultural exchange atmosphere.

If the mind is imprisoned, it can only be tossed and tossed in a pool of stagnant water, and nothing good can be obtained in the end.

"On this point, we should learn from our Da Song."

Song Huizong curled his lips, the literati in the Song Dynasty would diverge their thinking.

Everyone can say better than anyone else, of course, few people have the real ability to actually do it.

But at least...

The cultural development is very bright, and many beautiful articles have been born.

[Scholar selection with stereotyped writing, this is a problem that not only existed in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the same problem also existed in the Qing Dynasty, and even in the new era]

[Answers must be answered in accordance with the prescribed format, free play is not allowed, the content of the article gradually becomes a formality, and there is not much real content]

This line of text that appeared on the light curtain...

I don't know if it is to comfort Zhu Yuanzhang, or to complain from a certain fairy family.

But this scene...

It made Zhu Yuanzhang feel better.

So in the new era of prosperity and prosperity, the form of stereotyped selection of scholars still exists, so there is no need for him to be entangled.

[Proactively translated books from different countries, actively contacted advanced knowledge, and adopted different measures to appease different ethnic groups in the Ming Dynasty, and set up a special management department for multi-ethnic affairs, effectively maintaining the stable development of the multi-ethnic country]

[Actively establish overseas exchanges and relations, establish the prestige status of Ming Dynasty, and promulgate the policy of "Nation Without Conquest", which ensures the stable relationship between Daming's neighboring countries and Daming, creates a peaceful and stable social environment for Daming, and establishes a prosperous society Economic Exchange Route]

"I feel that Ming Dynasty is also a brilliant era when all nations come to Korea!"

"I think so too. From the Xian family's introduction, it's obvious that there are many countries near Daming, and they all regard Daming as their suzerain!"

Li Shimin and Li Longji spoke successively.

They can probably guess which countries are near Daming.

The countries that paid tribute to them back then have just returned with a new look.

They are absolutely sure of it!

Because the territory of the Ming Dynasty is still the same as the original Tang Dynasty. Although some places are different, most of the places are still familiar.

thus!
Those surrounding countries are probably familiar countries.

"It's really a powerful unified empire. Alas, it would be great if I, Da Song, took back the sixteen states of Youyun!"

Zhao Kuangyin looked at this scene and said enviously.

How could he not be envious?
As an emperor of the unified empire of the Central Plains, who wouldn't want to experience the joy of coming to court from all nations.

Who doesn't yearn for the glorious and prosperous scene of the Tang Dynasty when all nations came to court?
[In order to strengthen the control of the grassroots, the population will be divided into three classes: civilian registration, military registration, craftsman registration, all kinds of people must register their household registration according to the type of employment]

[Order the Ministry of Households to count the household registrations of the whole country, and distribute household registrations, which will be remade every ten years, and state and county officials need to count the household registrations of the jurisdiction area every year]

[At the same time, implement the yellow book system on the basis of household posts, and elect the chief of the village and one head of the first class to manage the affairs of the first class]

[And according to the place of origin, name, population, field house, land mu, etc., register urban and rural residents one by one to strengthen the control of the place]

"It's really not just a sentence that the imperial power does not go to the countryside!"

"I thought that the emperors of later generations would have a good way to manage the place? It turned out to be an old-fashioned way."

"Come on, if you really want the imperial power to go to the countryside, do you know how much it will cost? It's simply unaffordable."

The emperors were a little disappointed, but at the same time they said it as a matter of course.

Don't they want to consolidate their sphere of influence to every part of the empire?

Of course I do!
But that's not realistic...

Because the financial burden is too great.

If you really want to add officials to the township level, it must occupy at least half of the fiscal revenue.

and this…

is impossible!
Because there are many more places that need financial support.

Local management can only be entrusted to the gentry for self-government.

Let them manage themselves, and report matters that cannot be resolved to the state and county.

otherwise!

With so many promising emperors here, why are the custom-made administrative plans all based on the county system, or prefectures and counties?

Instead of administrative divisions like prefectures, counties and townships!
Because I really can't manage it!

and…

There are many advantages of not going to the countryside for imperial power.
