Chongzhen Undergraduates

"Your Majesty Huang, you are safe and well!" Wang Duo fixed his eyes and saw that it was really Huang Shu, and immediately sat up from the bed board.

"Mr. Wang Ge praises that Huang has been doing well recently, but he doesn't need to suffer those humiliations anymore." Huang Shu showed a little complacency, as if he had become a great official.

"I don't know what the so-called Master Huang came to me for?" Huang Shu was humiliated at the beginning, and everyone in the Nanjing court knew about Huang Shu's defection from Zuo Liangyu.When Wang Duo saw this defector who is now wanted by Daming, he treated him with courtesy, and his intentions were self-evident.

"I was entrusted by someone to deliver a letter to Mr. Ge." After Huang Shu finished speaking, he handed Wang Duo a letter, very respectful.

Wang Duo opened it, carefully read it several times, and finally folded it carefully. He looked at Huang Shu with some doubts and asked, "Really Xu, the Minister of Rites?"

"It's absolutely true!" Huang Shu nodded, stretched out a finger and continued, "The regent will reward you with 1 taels of silver."

After Wang Duo heard this, his eyes shone with silver light, and he felt that he was about to have a successful official career.

"My regent of the Great Jin Kingdom has one condition." Huang Shu was a little jealous of Wang Duo, but he had nothing to offer, so he could only be a small scribe under Hong Chengchou.

"What are the conditions?" Wang Duo was startled, he was afraid that Dorgon would let him do some risky things.

"Persuade Liu Zongzhou, it's best for you to go north together."

"I will do my best for the Kingdom of Jin." Wang Duo didn't think it was difficult at all, he just pretended it was difficult.

What Wang Duo didn't expect was that when he met Huang Shu, Liu Zongzhou also met a guest from the north.The bargaining chips brought by this guest were also the Minister of Rites plus 1 taels of silver.

But Liu Zongzhou didn't accept it, politely declined the visitor's kindness, and sent him out of the gate respectfully.

In the misty rain and mist in the south of the Yangtze River, the old people from the north who were running around Nanjing and the Jianghuai area were dispatched one after another. Lines and lines were weaving a large net, trying to cover the sky over Nanjing city.

The turmoil of the art exhibition dissipated, and Wang Duo continued to work after resting for a few days, as if nothing had happened.

And the art exhibition of the Academy of Chinese Studies was considered a success. Zhu Youjian didn't expect to change his concept at one time, and it would take some time to produce ripples.

The small disturbance of Wang Duo at the art exhibition did not attract any attention from Daming, and even Wang Chengen just watched it as a farce.

Chapter 262: Little Enke

"I heard that another scientific examination will be held in the north this year. This is really good news for scholars!"

Wang Duo looked at Liu Zongzhou, his tone seemed very relaxed, as if he was speaking casually.

"Handan is just learning to walk!" Liu Zongzhou snorted contemptuously.

"Now that they have occupied more than half of my Central Plains, they may have become powerful." Wang Duo argued.

"That's not my Chinese orthodoxy."

"Han Yuyun: "Confucius's "Spring and Autumn" is also, the princes use barbarian rituals to barbarize them, and barbarians enter China to make China..."

"Absurd! This statement is not what Confucius said. What Han Changli said is completely different from "When the barbarians enter China, the Chinese will live, and when China enters the barbarians, the barbarians will follow." The princes and the barbarians should not be confused here."

Liu Zongzhou has always looked down on other barbarians, which can be seen in his rejection of Western culture.Party struggle is a characteristic of the Ming Dynasty, but it is not possible to label Dong Lin as a traitor and traitor, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, there are many literati in the south of the Yangtze River who have integrity.

Wang Duo had basically tried out Liu Zongzhou's thoughts, and he felt that it was impossible to persuade him to go north.However, Wang Duo was secretly happy that without Liu Zongzhou, he felt that he would have one less political opponent in the north.

As a result, Donglin began to divide into two factions. One faction had the idea of ​​preparing to reform the Houjin and adjust the Houjin royal family;

......

While Hong Chengchou was raising people on a large scale in the north, Dorgon also started raising scholars on a large scale in the capital.Later Jin's second Enke officially opened in the spring of Chongzhen's 19th year.

Wang Chengen reported: From the beginning of the first month, some scholars in the south have been secretly going north one after another, preparing to take the imperial examination of Houjin.

"Long live, Qufu, Shandong has begun to call on scholars from all over the world to go to the capital to take the exam."

"Has their imperial examination changed from ours?" Zhu Youjian is concerned about whether there has been a major change in Houjin's imperial examination system. As long as there is no change, he is not afraid of anything.

"No, it's completely copying my pre-Ming regulations. It also gives Jinshi many benefits, which can be called preferential treatment."

Wang Chengen is now completely at ease with Zhu Youjian's military policy, but in terms of political skills, he has not seen Zhu Youjian's excellence.And from the current point of view, Zhu Youjian's series of methods seem a bit out of place.

The so-called extremes must be reversed, and excessive means are used too much, which will inevitably cause a certain rebound internally.Wang Chengen still understands this truth.

But Zhu Youjian believed that his behavior was not violent, but rather gentle.If it weren't for the fact that there are still two major forces sandwiching Nanjing in the middle, he would directly attack the tax administration.

"How is Hong Chengchou doing in Mintun in Henan? Are there any people who fled north?"

"The folk settlements in Henan are huge. According to reports, Hong Chengchou migrated nearly 150 million people from the mountainous areas to the plains. In addition, this year's weather is good and the weather is good, and the results are outstanding. For the time being, the people in the south of the Yangtze River have not yet seen the situation of people going north."

"Huang Zongxi, over there in Xiangyang, how many people have we migrated?"

"Less than 60 people."

"We lost the battle for population!" Zuo Maodi sighed.

"Don't think this way. It's an established strategy for us to recapture Xiangyang. By going to Yunyang to compete for population, we are trying to create trouble for Hong Chengchou. The people are exiled in the mountains, and I don't know how many people will starve to death. Since Henan is empty, it is better to let them go to the fields. . The two are not contradictory."

Zhu Youjian is very open-minded, anyway, these people either go south or north, and the wasteland in the south is not as much as in the north, and they are all lands with owners.If all the people are really moved to the south, it will only cause a big burden on Nanjing.Done badly, it will be an internal turmoil.

"Your Majesty, do we also want to participate in this battle for the source of students?" Huang Zongxi looked at Zhu Youjian and asked.

"No, inform the front line, don't be too obstructive to the students going north, just turn a blind eye and close one eye."

"Why? These are all talented people!" Huang Zongxi was very puzzled. The emperor wanted to compete with Hong Chengchou even for ordinary people. Why did he let the scholars go away when he got here?

"These students from the north are not the talents I want. Those who abandon my Ming Dynasty are not my people. It is my great Ming's blessing to go early."

Well, Zhu Youjian's words are very tough.What's the use of keeping people who are already ready to betray Daming?Huang Zongxi couldn't refute this reason.

"Your Majesty, should we also add Enke and select a group of scholars?" Huang Zongxi thought for a while, but still felt a little distressed about the loss of these scholars. Since he can't persuade the Emperor to stop them from going north, he should find a way to keep them in the south. .

Zhu Youjian thought for a while and said: "There is no need for Enke. My Ming Dynasty is different from Houjin. Their first Enke was not successful, and there were not many talents selected. Coupled with Hong Chengchou's population policy, a large number of new people were filled. Therefore, it is necessary for Houjin to hold the second Enke. This move is an opportunity for new scholars entering Houjin.

My Ming Dynasty had exhausted all the talents in the south last year, so it was not suitable for me to start another course.However, this year's reform of the west will require a large number of officials to go to the west to manage the people.

I think that at present, the low-level local officials in Jiangxi and Hunan should be promoted and sent to the west. In addition, a group of talents who were unsuccessful last year can be selected to fill the vacancies in Jiangxi and Hunan. "

It is Zhu Youjian's established idea to develop Hubei.If you want to stabilize Hubei, you must first stabilize Hunan and Jiangxi.The grassroots of these two provinces have not been touched, and it is not known to what extent it has rotted.

Zhu Youjian's approach was to first promote a batch of grassroots officials and transfer them to the west.Then recruit a new batch of fresh blood to give these two provinces a big shake-up.

"We don't use Enke for public admission, for fear that students will have criticism." Huang Zongxi agrees with Zhu Youjian's views on the imperial examination, but large-scale admission of students is not a formal imperial examination, and some people still have opinions.

"This is my grace. What objections do they have? I think that this small-scale admission should be called "Little Enke". It can be held in various provinces just like the provincial examination. The subjects for admission are the same as last year's regulations!"

The national examination every three years is a bit of a waste of money for this era.Zhu Youjian thought it would be better to imitate the college entrance examination of later generations and hold it in various provinces.The transfer from the capital test to the local level is also a downgrade of the importance of the test.

The selection of talents cannot rely solely on imperial examinations, and education itself should be popularized.After the popularization of education, the grassroots talents needed by the provinces do not need to be allocated by the imperial court at all, and can be selected by the provinces.

There is nothing wrong with the imperial examination itself, and it should be preserved.Among the talents of all dynasties, most of them were produced by imperial examinations.
