Han Du curled his lips, looking disdainful of the Imperial College, and said boredly: "I look down on the knowledge taught by the Imperial College, but I don't look down on learning."
"Oh? Why is this?" Zhu Biao was very surprised by Han Du's statement and asked, "Don't the Imperial College also teach knowledge?"
Han Du shook his head and smiled and said: "The knowledge taught by the Imperial College is mixed with too many personal belongings. It may be suitable for fooling the people, but it is definitely not suitable for strengthening the country and enriching the people. Confucianism has been circulated for more than a thousand years, and it has no influence on the Ming Dynasty and the people. The role of mathematics, physics and chemistry is not as huge as that of mathematics, physics and chemistry in just a dozen years. From this point of view, it is very illustrative."
Zhu Biao received Confucian education since childhood and was naturally close to Confucianism. But he had no way to refute Han Du's words. It was not his fault that he was impartial, but that Confucianism was too restrictive. Although the Royal Academy has only been established for more than ten years, it has produced numerous talents.
In terms of imperial examinations, the Imperial Academy failed to pass the Royal Academy. After taking part in the imperial examination for the first time at the Royal Academy, he was compared to the Imperial College and lost his temper several times. The best time in the Imperial College was to get second place. Other times, it is even more difficult to produce a first-class Jinshi.
The Royal Academy is extremely successful in the imperial examinations. Every time, the number one scholar is irresistibly chosen by the Royal Academy, and more than half of the scholarship quota is taken up by the Academy, which is about two-thirds to four-fifths. look.
However, the students in the academy are not very enthusiastic about becoming officials. After passing the Jinshi examination, many people do not even choose to be officials. Instead, they stay in the academy or teach and educate people, or study what they like, or do experiments to explore the mysteries of heaven, earth, and nature.
Every time there is an imperial examination, there are quite a few successful candidates, but no one is an official. What should be done?
Lao Zhu was so troubled by this that he even wanted to forcefully recruit these people from the academy to serve as officials. However, Han Du, who arrived in time, persuaded him: "Your Majesty, these people will have a much greater impact on the Ming Dynasty by staying in the academy than becoming a seventh-grade official."
Then, Han Du carefully explained to Lao Zhu that being an official can only benefit one party, but doing research can benefit all generations.
After all the hard talk, Lao Zhu was finally persuaded.
But Lao Zhu was also very troubled by the situation of having no official available. He cursed angrily at Han Du: "What should I do now? If I have no official available, the court will be in decline."
Faced with this situation, Han Du could only smile bitterly. Finally, under Lao Zhu's stern questioning, Han Du had to agree that after he returned, he would persuade more academy scholars to serve as officials.
Only then did Lao Zhu let Han Du go.
But even though Han Du repeatedly persuaded everyone to become officials in the academy, although it had some effect, some people chose to become officials under Han Du's persuasion. But the effect is not great, and some people still don't listen to Han Du at all.
These people think very clearly that even if they teach in the academy, they can get a monthly salary of 20 yuan. As for becoming an official, it takes only four times a month. What's more, there are many opportunities to make money in the academy, if you can participate in the research of something, such as steam engines and the like. It was like getting rich overnight, buying a house and settling in the capital, marrying Bai Fumei, and instantly reaching the pinnacle of life.
With this kind of money, who would care about a seventh-grade official in the imperial court?
Han Du also knew what the problem was, but he couldn't do anything about it. After all, these rules were set by him, so he can't overturn them by slapping himself in the face, right?
Besides, Han Du has just built a machinery workshop, and there will be many places to employ people in the future. Han Dudu was also worried that there were too few teachers in the academy and that the students handed over would not be enough.
If he couldn't care about it himself, how could Han Du care whether Lao Zhu had anyone serving as an official? After talking several times in the academy and giving Lao Zhu an explanation, Han Du put the matter behind him.
Lao Zhu had no choice. Even if some scholars from the academy were willing to serve as officials, the gap in officials would still be too big. In the end, Lao Zhu had no choice but to increase the number of Jinshi in each subject. By now, the number of Jinshi in each subject is no longer 300, but more than 500.
Zhu Biao was also very clear about these situations, so when Han Du spoke, it was difficult for him to refute.
"Although the purpose of Confucianism is to fool and tire the people, it is not suitable for the people of the Ming Dynasty. But for these Annan people, it couldn't be better." Han Du continued, "They have just experienced the Li family. The rebellion of the Ming Dynasty was broken by the Ming Dynasty. It was the time when they were most confused and could not find their direction. If we preach the Ming Dynasty education to them at this time and let them join the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts. After two or three generations, they will never be able to find their way again. No one will remember Annan, this place truly belongs to the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Fang laughed, shook his head and said: "How slow the education is. With me guarding it, these Annan people can't change the world. It doesn't take two or three generations, and now this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty."
Seeing Zhu Ping's confident look, Han Du sighed: "Although Annan is small, it was once a country. How could it be so easy to destroy the country? The reason why the Annan people have not rebelled against the prince now is because they The Li family's rebellion has disturbed their spiritual support. Once they recover, Your Majesty can see if they will still be as obedient as they are now."
Zhu Xi said with disdain: "The Annan people are as timid as mice. If they dare to disobey, I will kill one of them, and I will kill a pair of them."
Han Du looked at Zhu Ping, who was full of confidence and murderous thinking that he could suppress Annan with a large army, and said helplessly: "Unless the prince wants to kill all the Annan people, how can he defeat the Annan people's unity?"
Zhu Xi was still unconvinced and was about to continue speaking, but was stopped by Zhu Biao with a wave of his hand.
Then Zhu Biao asked Handu: "In your opinion, how can we completely win over Annan's people?"
Han Du nodded secretly with a smile. Zhu Biao's attitude was the true way of an emperor. He was not like Zhu Chong, who suppressed and killed at every turn.
"If you want to destroy your country, you should first destroy its history; if you want to destroy its history, you should first destroy its writing."
Zhu Biao looked startled after hearing this, then looked at Han Du with a horrified expression, and murmured to himself: "If you want to destroy your country, you must first destroy its history... Well said, well said. Once the history is destroyed, the people of our country will not know where it came from and can only follow our wishes, just like a rootless tree that can only be manipulated by others."
Even Zhu Xi, who had always been fearless, looked at Han Du with a different look. It's not like Zhu Ping has never seen ruthless people in his life. He even takes pleasure in being brave and fighting ruthlessly.
But now he realized that compared with Han Du's methods, the bravery and fierceness he was proud of in the past were like a child playing house, which was not interesting at all.
How can someone like Han Du, who smiles all over his face, but can destroy an entire country with just one sentence?
Han Du looked at Zhu Ping and suddenly avoided his gaze, not daring to look at him and paying no attention to him. He nodded towards Zhu Biao and said: "Yes, as long as we kill all the scholars in Annan and destroy all the history books. Then we will send Confucian scholars to teach the Annan people and tell them that their location is the Chief Envoy of Ming Dynasty Jiaozhi. After two or three generations, no one will remember Annan anymore, they will only remember that they were the Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi in the Ming Dynasty."
After hearing Han Du's words, Zhu Biao couldn't help but frown, and said reluctantly: "Kill all the scholars in Annan? How many people do you need to kill? No, absolutely not!"
Zhu Biao had a kind heart and decisively refused.
Han Du was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Zhu Biao was still as kind to foreigners as ever.
"Your Highness, those who are not of my race must have different thoughts. Don't you treat these Annan people the same as the people of the Ming Dynasty?" Han Du said with a flattering smile.
Zhu Biao's eyes widened and he shouted sharply at Han Du: "How can it be different? Whether it is the people of Ming Dynasty or the people of Annan, they are all living lives..."
Seeing that Zhu Biao's kindness was offended again, Zhu Fang simply interrupted him and said, "Brother, wait a moment."
Zhu Biao reluctantly stopped talking and turned to look at his second brother.
Zhu Fang smiled and explained: "Brother Huang may not know much about the situation in Annan. There are no scholars in Annan at all now. At first, the Li family rebelled against King Annan, and later they were encircled and suppressed by the army of his younger brothers. The successive turmoils made Annan All the scholars in the country have died, and the Annan people still alive today are ordinary people."
Han Du was stunned when he heard this. This Zhu Ping was simply crueler than him. Even if there are many turmoils, it is impossible for all the scholars in Annan to die. Let alone suffering from war, even if it suffers from plague, there will be very few fish that slip through the net. How can they all die?
But Zhu Xi just said that they were all dead and no one was alive. Judging from Zhu Xi's attitude, even if there are living people, he can turn them into dead people.
Perhaps Zhu Biao also understood Zhu Xi's attitude, and just sighed and said: "Second brother, it's better not to... It's better to take care of yourself."
Originally, Zhu Biao wanted to persuade Zhu Feng not to kill too much. But looking at the determined look on Zhu Xi's face, and because this was Zhu Xi's fiefdom, even though he, Zhu Biao, was the prince, he had no power to forcibly control Zhu Xi.
If you want to control Zhu Xi, you can only do so if your father gives an order.
So, in the end, Zhu Biao didn't say anything more.
After Zhu Biao heard what Zhu Biao said, he bowed to Zhu Biao solemnly and said, "My brother is also here for the long-term peace and stability of Jiaozhi."
Zhu Biao saw that the fate of the Annan people had been decided, but he could not change anything. He said angrily: "I hope my second brother will keep his word and let the Annan people live a better life."
"My dear brother, I would like to follow the teachings of my royal brother!" Zhu Ping bowed respectfully to Zhu Biao.
Seeing his second brother accommodate himself so respectfully, the unhappiness Zhu Biao felt just now disappeared. Looking back at Han Du, he turned Lian to one side and said with a sneer: "What? I got your wish, why can't I even see your happy face?"
What am I happy about? Whether Annan is the territory of the Ming Dynasty or not, and whether it can attract people's hearts, does it have anything to do with me?
Han Du smiled flatteringly.
"Huh! Go back." Zhu Biao turned to look forward and said immediately.
