Chongzhen Undergraduates

After all, Zhu Youjian is still worried about this group of scholars. If the training ends in the end, a group of direct descendants of Donglin will be cultivated, which will cause him more trouble.

"Forget it, I'm fine today anyway, you can accompany me to the secretariat to have a look."

In the magistrate's yamen, Chen Zilong and his team are studying how to train 300 new recruits. Several people are getting together to prepare to give these people a whole ideological and moral lesson of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in accordance with the Confucian classics.

As soon as Zhu Youjian stepped through the door, he first picked up the schedule on the table and looked at it.

Coincidentally, Shi Kefa also came to the Yamen. As the Minister of the Ministry of War, he came to ask Wu Ganlai and Liu Zeqing's subordinates about the screening situation.

"Let's not use these, it's mainly these contents." Zhu Youjian ignored Shi Kefa and wrote and drew on the form that Chen Zilong and the others had made.

Zhu Youjian finished the document and threw it to Chen Zilong.Chen Zilong took it over and saw that all the loyalty and patriotism courses arranged by his group were crossed out by Zhu Youjian, but the content of the new culture was doubled.

"I'm afraid this is not in line with the usual practice!" Chen Zilong looked at Shi Kefa. Although Shi Kefa didn't read the document, he could guess what Zhu Youjian was thinking.

The new culture created by Zhu Youjian has already spread in the south of the Yangtze River. Both Shi Kefa and Chen Zilong received a secret letter from Donglin in the south of the Yangtze River. Promoted.

"Why, I can't make up my mind about this matter?"

Zhu Youjian is playing tricks, who dares to say that the emperor has no right to call the shots? What's more, this is a political matter, so the emperor must call the shots.

"According to our practice, officials must..."

After the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty were admitted, they must be admonished and trained before going to work. This admonition is mainly to deepen the thought of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

Chen Zilong's arrangement was also correct, he just played tricks and arranged all the main courses on these things.

"They were not admitted by the imperial examination, and they can't afford to be my officials in Ming Dynasty. Remember, they are just officials, helping me. I think I can use them as I like."

Zhu Youjian knew how difficult it was to move the official system, so he never thought about doing it now.The biggest card in Donglin's hand is the imperial examination, which means he holds the channel to become an official.

Although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could decide who would be an official, the channel for who could be an official was in the hands of Confucianism.

In the final analysis, the emperor can only choose people from Confucianism.Confucianism will not discard this benefit. As the spokesperson of Confucianism in Ming Dynasty, how could Donglin let Zhu Youjian touch this piece of cheese.

Only by avoiding officials can Zhu Youjian find a new way out.But the emperor cannot govern the world by himself, he needs helpers, many helpers.

Therefore, officials who are lower than officials are selected.Because officials do not have to pass the imperial examination, they can also be recruited independently.

Although most of the senior officials were recruited from the students who failed the rankings, they were not formal officials after all, and it was not said that all officials were definitely scholars.

Chen Zilong was embarrassed. Everyone knew that this was Zhu Youjian's hand, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

"I object." Huang Daozhou jumped out, and continued his way of admonishing the officials.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty were capricious, and a deadly remonstrance gained fame, and even became addicted to the emperor.It is still a great honor to be beaten to death by the emperor.

"Zhuang Daozhou, you are not an official now, don't talk to each other. You are just selling yourself to me for work."

Zhu Youjian looked at Huang Daozhou with a grin. The poor old man was trembling with anger, but he couldn't explain himself.

What I originally thought was that they were all working for the emperor anyway, whether it was being an official or signing a contract of sale, it was all the same thing.

Who would have thought that the deed of selling their lives was a hole that Zhu Youjian dug for them, and only now did they find out that they were buried in it.

"Your Majesty, I object."

At this time, Shi Kefa jumped out. Since the Secretariat is not a formal courtier, then he can be the Minister of the Ministry of War.

"It's useless for you to object! I'm an official, not an official, and I don't belong to the imperial court."

What Zhu Youjian meant was that these people did not belong to the imperial court at all, just like the former Dongchang, the imperial court had no control over who was employed or not.

But in the past, the Dongchang used no scholars, and the Confucianists also despised the factory guards.Now Zhu Youjian is obviously digging the corners of Confucianism, and he is openly reforming it, which is very interesting.

Although officials are not formal official positions, they still hold power, and the number of officials is much larger than that of officials.

"Your Majesty, although this official is not an official, he can continue the imperial examination."

Shi Kefa read Mixin's suggestion and also felt the possible threat to Confucianism in the future, so he had to oppose Zhu Youjian.

"Oh, you are worried that these people will disrupt the original imperial examination!"

"That's right, that's right." The scholars in the room nodded one after another, and no one hoped that the current official selection system would change.

If the imperial examination system changed drastically, many people would have spent decades reading for nothing.

Just like the college entrance examination, if the rules change, those who have attended training classes dedicated to training for the exam will be wasting their time.

"Don't worry, these newly recruited officials will not be able to participate in the imperial examination in the future. This must be clearly stated."

After hearing Zhu Youjian's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and finally did not let Zhu Youjian's new culture invade the officialdom.

Zhu Youjian laughed in his heart: He doesn't want people who are still thinking about taking the imperial examination.When those recruited know that they cannot take the imperial examination, they will only work harder to learn new things.

Scholars, you will find that although you cannot be an official, it is easier to be an official, and it is not worse than being an official.What's more, the emperor only said that officials could not take the imperial examination, but did not say that they could not be officials.

This is another big pit, a pit dug for Confucianism!

Chapter 85: Officials are not officials

Since the imperial examination was not possible, many scholars who were originally recruited chose to quit.Then, it is necessary to recruit talents again.

Zhu Youjian was wearing very civilian clothes, and sat not far from the recruitment office, cracking melon seeds and playing with poplar leaves.

It has entered October, the weather has begun to turn cold, and the leaves are slowly turning yellow.

When he was a child, one of the games he often played with his friends was tug-of-war with the roots of poplar leaves.Whoever can hold the stem until it breaks all the opponents wins.

Zhu Youjian's opponent today is a few guards led by Ji Biao. They are all dressed in ordinary clothes, huddled together to play games, and are despised by passers-by as idlers and bums.

"Master, look at how they recruit people in their 40s and [-]s, there are no young people."

Zhu Youjian was unlucky, and after searching for leaves for a long time, he couldn't break the "general" in Ji Biao's hand.

"Young people are counting on taking the imperial examination, and they all feel that there is still a future. Who will give up the opportunity to be an official?"

In fact, Zhu Youjian has been observing the recruitment site, and he also found that most of the people who came today were in their 40s and [-]s.

"Then why are there no old men? I heard people say that some people are still taking the exam when they are 70 or [-] years old."

Although Ji Biao is young, it is not news that people in their 60s took the imperial examination in Ming Dynasty, and there are people who take the imperial examination every time they take the exam.

"People in their decades are used to taking exams, they will not give up, exams have become a habit for them.

Since I have persisted for decades, I don't care about persisting for a few more years.Only those in their 40s and [-]s who failed in the exam and were forced by the pressure of life would choose to be officials.

Most of these people are poor, and they are not top-notch smart, but they are not particularly pedantic, and they are the most suitable candidates for general clerks.
