Ming dynasty grand dude

Why did Daming begin to decline after His Majesty Yongle passed away? !

Yu Chihu said this, Liu Jian also had to blush.

The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty are among them, but they have unshirkable responsibilities.

They are constantly trying to limit imperial power, internal officials, generals, and nobles.

Yet the more restricted they were, the more the empire weakened.

In the past, Liu Jian didn't feel anything, as long as the national system was still there.

But when faced with the threat of the giant cannon, he woke up with a startle.

It was not only him who woke up, but also Emperor Hongzhi.

It was also at this time that the gradual reform won the full support of Emperor Hongzhi.

The ministers of the cabinet chose to acquiesce, with the support of the nobles.

Step by step to the present situation.

""Book of Rites·Li Yun" said, 'The journey of the great way is also for the public, the selection of the virtuous and the capable, and the trustworthiness and harmony...'"

Suddenly listening to the father-in-law talk about the "Book of Rites", everyone couldn't help being a little puzzled.

But soon, the father-in-law answered why he was like this.

"It's so difficult to choose the virtuous and capable when you are a master! Even in the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it was difficult for a poor scholar to enter the imperial court..."

This situation was alleviated to a certain extent only in the early days of the Sui Dynasty.

However, its scale is relatively large. Every year, the upper county nominates three people, the middle county recommends two people, and the lower county nominates one person.

How does such a selection meet the needs of the court? !

Because there were few selections for the entire Sui Dynasty generation, only more than ten scholars were selected.

However, even among these ten or so people, there are many celebrities.

Fang Xuanling, Du Zhenglun, Xu Jingzong, Cen's texts, etc., all came from scholars in the late Sui Dynasty.

The development of the imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty gradually gave poor scholars the opportunity to set foot in the imperial court.

"Master's words, you should know the meaning, not just the words."

Zhu Houzhao's hands were shaking while copying at this moment, but he didn't have the slightest intention to stop.

Each wolf hair was soaked in ink and waited, the regular script on it was neat.

"Are there any virtuous people in the counties and towns?! Are there any virtuous people in the county government?!"

Grandpa Zhang had already turned around at this time, and asked Liu Jian word by word.

Liu Jian was blocked by Yu Chihu's sudden questioning.

"Among the county magistrates, how many are familiar with the "Law of the Ming Dynasty"?! How many have the ability to detect?!"

"How many of them are good at planning?! If there are people who are up and down, it may be possible to find out?!"

Liu Jian smiled bitterly, he was really speechless for these words.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were still considerations in the study of arithmetic, but later the emperors made it popular and abandoned it.

But most of them only test Mingjing, so it's nothing more than math.

Even the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" is just a little test. It is normal for many scholars to not be able to figure out the "Law of the Ming Dynasty".

"It's so...it's so!!"

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it for a while, and his face suddenly turned blue.

A large group of officials who don't know the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" and are not familiar with it, what can they do at the lower levels of the empire? !

Not to mention the ability to detect and detect, they have the ability to detect and detect eggs!

Is it right for me to ask them to recite poems? !Are they paid for nothing? !

"The power of the empire in the countryside is equivalent to nothing."

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned dark when he heard this, but he also knew it was true.

It would be good if the imperial court's decree can reach the chief envoy, but it is not good whether the chief envoy will obey the order.

"This is the current disadvantage of my Ming Dynasty, but my Ming Dynasty has gradually become...stronger!"

Mr. Zhang worked very hard in every word.

He had to consider not only the acceptance of Emperor Hongzhi and the others, but also how to introduce the correct way for future generations.

Even today he does not dare to easily carry out engineering studies, even though he knows that engineering studies are essential if the Ming Dynasty is to become prosperous and strong.

However, whether a craftsman belongs to the "craftsman's family", it is slightly better than the humble family.

Even some of them were directly from humble origins, which was unprecedented before the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Even the position of craftsman Rong in the Song Dynasty was not so low.

However, there are also reasons for doing so in the previous dynasty. They do not want too many crafts to be mastered by the people.

Especially smelting, forging, printing and dyeing... etc., so the control was strict at that time.

As a result, weddings and funerals of craftsmen are strictly controlled.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a farmer, considered the farmers but not the craftsmen.

He just continued the "craftsmanship" of the previous dynasty to facilitate management.

After all, he didn't have any administrative experience, and he didn't take into account the contribution made by craftsmen in advancing production tools.

As for scholars, they probably think that this is beneficial to themselves.

Therefore, the "craftsmanship" of craftsmen was preserved and became a low-ranking occupation.

If you want to change this situation, you can only do it a little bit, otherwise it will be very troublesome for passive scholars to blow up.

Almost all the craftsmen in the state capitals of the guards of the Ministry of Industry were hollowed out.

In the past few years since the Ordnance Construction Bureau existed, it has continuously absorbed them like a sponge.

However, Grandpa Zhang found another way to let the royal family and the inner treasury take charge of them in order to avoid touching the cake of the scholar-bureaucrats.

But this is far from enough after all. Engineering must establish the status of craftsmen and must also improve.

"The reason why His Majesty can't sleep peacefully is because he is worried about the future of my Ming Dynasty, or because he is worried about the danger at sea!"

This is indeed the case, Daming can make himself stronger through development.

Although it was more difficult to fight Tatar, it was still won after paying a certain price.

And when he slapped Annan Dongyu again, he fell down with two slaps like slapping his son.

In this way, how can he not worry about the unknown enemy? !

The two seemingly powerful border countries, once the dominant regional powers, fell apart under the artillery.

Even being ruled by Daming in this way, it is impossible to repeat it after calculation.

If the enemy country has this means...

Emperor Hongzhi would shudder even just thinking about it!

He couldn't imagine that if the enemy country invaded and then used this method...

How many people in the entire Ming Dynasty are willing to persevere? !

Hearing the emperor's thoughts, Liu Jian couldn't help but tremble all over.

He knows how Daming treats Annan's scholars, that is to completely abolish Wentong!

The whole person Annan can murmur words now, I don't know if there are hundreds of people in total.

According to Zhang Gongye's habits, Annan will inevitably promote Chinese characters in the future.

In this way, the Nuan characters will be completely annihilated.

Then promote the official dialect of Ming Dynasty, will there be any difference between Annan and Daming after so many decades? !

"Your Majesty! Instead of worrying about matters of compassion, why not strengthen my power!"

Jade Chihu bowed to Hongzhi Emperor Liu Jian and said in a deep voice.

"Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement! The only thing my emperor can do is to strengthen ourselves to meet the enemy!"

With that, Jade Chihu got up slowly.

Looking at them with a serious face: "Even if the powerful overseas enemies don't come today, won't they come tomorrow?!"

"Even if there are no strong enemies overseas, can the neighboring countries of my Ming Dynasty guarantee that I will never betray my heart?!"

"I read the history books, and I didn't see any subjects who would never rebel!"

"Yes, I think that if the country wants to be peaceful, it must be armed! It must be strong!"

Self-improvement is the foundation of everything.

"As for some of my concerns about Ming Dynasty, I already have a case in my chest."

Jade Chihu pondered for a moment, originally he planned to give it to Emperor Hongzhi when he was planning to enter the palace.

Unexpectedly, the emperor actually realized the fact that Daming was cooking with fire from the sudden death of Annan Dongyu.

He couldn't wait to run over.

"Your Majesty, please agree, and I will order someone to fetch it!"

Chapter 707 The emperor came to ask about the strategy, and talked about the Spring and Autumn by the furnace

What Mr. Zhang said about being prepared for a long time is true. He was already thinking about this matter when he was on the boat.

Daming, or the dynasties after Daming before Daming.

There is basically a blank for their own plans, and this blankness has also caused them to stand still to a certain extent.

But Mr. Zhang, who came from later generations, is very clear about the importance of planning to a person and a country.

Whether it is an individual or a country, we need to know exactly what we need and what we need to do.

There may be changes in the middle, but the ultimate goal will not change.

Only by setting a goal can the successor know where he needs to go.

It's like sailing at sea, at least you know where you're going with a compass chart.

If there are neither of these, few people can sail on the vast sea without crashing.

Tang Bohu hurried down, and soon the two daughters of Miao'an Ashikaga followed.

"The two teachers and wives must hand it over to the teacher, so..."

Tang Bohu was a little embarrassed, but Mr. Zhang smiled and patted his forehead and said, "It's because I didn't think carefully about my teacher!"

"This matter was indeed ordered by the teacher. Because the matter was so important, I didn't dare to slack off at that time."

After comforting her for a while, the two daughters of Miao An Ashikaga Tsuru also apologized to Tang Yinfu.

Tang Yin didn't dare to talk, so Miao An took out a box.

Together with Ashikaga Tsuru, he took out the key to open it, and took out the secret volume in the box and handed it to the father-in-law.

But Grandpa Zhang handed over the sealed volume to Emperor Hongzhi respectfully.

After taking the sealed scroll, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't wait to open it and read it carefully.

Liu Jian moved to the side shamelessly, but Emperor Hongzhi didn't drive him away.

Instead, let it go and let him see it together.

Although the tiger-headed old master didn't know what his grandson was going to do, he came up curiously.

The first sentence is the one recited by Grandpa Zhang in "Book of Rites · Li Yun".

"The journey of the great way is also for the public, select the virtuous and capable, preach the faith and repair the harmony..."

"The old man does not only care for his relatives, not only his sons for his sons, so that the old will be able to die, the strong will be useful, the young will be strong, and the widows, widows, lonely, disabled and sick will all be supported..."

"The ancient 'Great Harmony' said that 'closed but not flourishing, thieves and thieves do not commit crimes, so outsiders do not close', read the history books and know: it is difficult."
