"Grandpa, the chieftain is the chieftain, and the people of Yunnan are the common people.
No matter how rich the chieftain is, does he have anything to do with the people?
We must be like a knife, cutting the toast and the people apart.
And this knife,
It's profit.
To benefit the people of Yunnan, Uncle Mu only needs to raise his arms and shout,
The people naturally came over.
Only by winning over the people can the toast problem be solved once and for all. "
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened,
Xiao Xiaozhu and Xiao Zhu's methods of governing Jiangnan are exactly the same.
The city must be besieged.
Different from Lao Zhu’s suffocating bombardment,
Zhu Xiongying always leaves an opening when doing things and will not push the pressure to the maximum.
Take Yunnan as an example.
If the pressure is too great, it will push the Yunnan people to the side of the chieftain.
Moisturizing things and disintegrating them silently is what Zhu Xiongying is good at.
“Tsk tsk.
The eldest grandson has fun.
There's a chance you can do this!
But it seems to us that we still have to fight!
There is no escape from this battle. "
Zhu Xiongying nodded,
"Yes, the Yunnan people alone will definitely not be able to overthrow the chieftain. Otherwise, he would have done it long ago.
Uncle Mu still needs to do the cleaning of the toast. "
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized this.
“Only Mu Ying can do it!
The most difficult part of your method is that during the war, you only target the chieftains, but you cannot disturb the people.
This requires a general to completely control the army.
In this way, only Mu Ying has this ability. "
Saying,
Zhu Yuanzhang pulled over a piece of imperial edict and began to write it.
Talking while writing,
"If Mu Ying is the king of Yunnan, he must be allowed to rule.
We have to keep up with the taxation of farmland, the collection and distribution of corvees, and the development of educational talents. "
Zhu Xiongying was standing by and added,
"They must also be allowed to take part in the imperial examination."
Zhu Yuanzhang's pen and ink blurred.
This imperial edict is considered useless.
The imperial examination is the foundation of the country.
If the southwestern ethnic groups in Yunnan were allowed to participate in the imperial examination, wouldn't that be a disguised form of allowing them to become officials in Beijing?
"Grandson...
You're a little too radical. "
Even Lao Zhu said it was radical, which means it is truly radical.
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said,
"Grandpa, I not only want the ethnic minorities in Yunnan to be able to take the imperial examination, but I also want the Mongolian people to be able to take the imperial examination."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this.
"You want to divide the Mongolian and Han ministers?"
Zhu Xiongying waved his hand quickly,
"No, Grandpa."
"Then what do you think?"
Zhu Xiongying's eyes sparkled and he asked,
"Grandpa, what is the imperial examination?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said without hesitation,
“Kunimoto!
All the talented people in the world advance through the imperial examinations, so that the Ming Dynasty can be stable. "
"My grandson doesn't think so.
Grandson thought that the imperial examination was a relief valve. "
"oh?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he looked thoughtful,
Although this was the first time I heard the word decompression valve, I immediately understood what it meant.
"You mean, the imperial examination can make the world less tight?"
Zhu Xiongying nodded,
"Grandpa, isn't it?
The reason why all dynasties died is because society was completely solidified. The children of officials will always be officials, the children of wealthy businessmen will always be wealthy businessmen, and the children of farmers will always be farmers.
The exploitation by officials and businessmen is even more severe, making the common people breathless.
Naturally it's the opposite.
When all dynasties fell, it all started with peasant uprisings.
The existence of the imperial examination gave all classes in the world the opportunity to move.
Children of farmers also have the opportunity to become officials.
Even if this possibility is very small, it does open an opening and give them a head start.
The imperial examination could stabilize the Ming Dynasty not only because the world's elites gathered at the center, but also because the imperial examination made it possible for all classes to move around. "
Zhu Xiongying explained Zhu Yuanzhang in simple terms and said he was stupid.
No matter how talented Lao Zhu was, he would never have been able to explain it so thoroughly as Zhu Xiongying.
This passage is really ahead of its time.
The deep meaning of the establishment of the imperial examination was to allow social mobility.
only,
Even the emperors who created and used it couldn't explain it clearly.
They just felt that this was something beneficial to the stability of the world.
and,
Emperors of the past dynasties had a misunderstanding, that is, they thought that only by bringing all the talents in the world to the central government would they be able to govern the world.
but,
To put it bluntly, even if the officials in the court do nothing,
The whole world can function normally.
This theory had long been practiced by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.
so,
The power of the imperial examination is not to gather talents in the central government, but to give the ancient society, which is like a pressure cooker, a channel to relieve pressure.
Why the imperial examinations in the Qing Dynasty could no longer be used? It was because the imperial examinations in the Qing Dynasty were completely out of shape.
The rulers of the Qing Dynasty used the imperial examination as a tool to exclude foreigners.
Completely blocking the original function of the imperial examination,
Not only does it not decompress, it actually pressurizes it.
A trace of fear flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes,
The words of the eldest grandson also have a terrifying meaning.
Now that we have touched upon the essence of the imperial examination,
That is to say,
The form of the imperial examination is not important.
To put it harshly, whether or not Confucian classics are tested in the imperial examination will not affect the original function of the imperial examination.
Even if the eldest grandson didn't explain it clearly, Zhu Yuanzhang understood it.
Allowing ethnic minorities to participate in the imperial examination is just an appetizer;
What he wants to change is the entire imperial examination system!
The two legs of the feudal dynasty,
The tax system, the official selection system.
Zhu Xiongying renovated one, but immediately changed the other!
Zhu Yuanzhang's teeth sore for a while.
Looking at Zhu Xiongying,
said,
"My eldest grandson, let those southwest ethnic minorities and Mongolians take part in the imperial examination.
You want them to return to their own place and serve as officials. "
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said,
“Grandpa is wise, that’s what my grandson means.
They are also professionals. Who else knows their hometown better than them?
After being trained by Jingzhong, they returned to management,
It is to hunt on behalf of the sky, this is the ultimate move to change one's native land and return to one's hometown. "
Zhu Yuanzhang felt dizzy after hearing this.
Only then did he realize that his previous killing spree was just a small fight.
The really cruel one is the eldest grandson!
They start directly from the operating model of the entire dynasty. No matter which decision is made, it is no smaller than deposing the prime minister!
"You, a reformer, can do it right away.
But the imperial examination has to wait.
At least you have to wait for this period of palace examination. "
Zhu Xiongying nodded and said,
"I got it, Grandpa."
Zhu Yuanzhang got closer to Zhu Xiongying again,
said,
"Eldest grandson, from now on you can tell us these things one by one.
So that we can be prepared, you can throw it out together,
Our bodies can't bear it!
Okay, after we finish writing the edict, let’s go have a meal? "
Zhu Xiongying shook his head,
Sorry,
"No, grandpa, Miaojin and I made an appointment to have lunch together today."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, and he pretended to be calm and laughed twice.
"Hahahaha, okay,
It's always good for you kids to play together more.
Then grandpa went to find the boss to eat together. "
"Dad went to find a river outside the city to fish."
"...."
Zhu Yuanzhang held on to the table,
"Then let's find a girl to eat!"
"Grandmas went to the shampoo factory today."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark.
"Then let's eat it ourselves!"
Zhu Xiongying thought about it seriously.
said,
"It seems that grandpa can only eat it by himself."
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth,
I can no longer write the imperial edict.
Why did he suddenly become a lonely old man? !
