"Abolition of the imperial examination is a good policy for a century, haha."
In the Yangxin Hall, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi were looking through the reinstatement application forms of these officials. When they saw the contents, they couldn't help laughing.
It is true as Li Xiao said, those officials who have resigned these days are crying and shouting to come back, and have been waiting in front of the official department for three days and three nights.
Several people were sick and had to lie there and not leave.
No matter how ruthless the words were at the beginning, they are so determined when they come back now.
"Father, here is another good plan."
Zhu Gaochi took out another copy and handed it over to watch together. Zhu Di looked at it and shook his head. This group of people had no shame in order to come back.
Zhu Di then flipped through the application form and immediately saw an even more outrageous one.
"Damn it, all the good advice has appeared, and I actually wrote out ten benefits and analyzed it very clearly."
Zhu Di took out the application form from 'Zhang Da Da Da' and couldn't help but expressed surprise.
"Father, this is it"
Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said helplessly: "Money and silk still move people's hearts. There should be no problem in implementing these new policies."
"I can only say it will be smoother."
Zhu Di shook his head slightly and said: "These existing officials are vested interests and can be bribed with money. There are still many unqualified scholars in the world, so they can't say good things."
Zhu Gaochi said: "Father has considered this in time. I have also thought about this and am asking the cabinet to come up with a plan."
Zhu Di nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, these people should be carefully selected and interrogated. If there are officials who are opportunistic and slippery, just take this opportunity to eliminate them."
The implication is that the reinstatement application form can be rejected for those officials who do not need it.
"Father, the child knows." Zhu Gaochi nodded.
Zhu Di added: "There are also conditions attached to the allocation of houses. If you do not make any major mistakes within twenty years and perform your duties faithfully, you will be able to obtain the property. If there is corruption or mistakes along the way, the court can take it back at any time."
Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "Father, my brother-in-law has thought of this a long time ago and mentioned it to my child. Even these three questions were raised by my brother-in-law. How wonderful."
"Li Xiao is really awesome. He and I want to work together."
Zhu Di nodded slightly, let's do it quickly.
Zhu Gaochi smiled and said, "Yes, father."
The following days.
Officials were reinstated one after another. Those who performed well during their tenure were reinstated, those whose performance was average were demoted, and those whose performance was particularly poor were directly rejected.
Next comes the salary increase and housing allocation. This benefit has actually been implemented for a long time.
After all, Peiping is no better than before. People's incomes have increased. If officials' salaries remain the same, who would still want to be an official?
But Li Xiao specifically asked Zhu Gaochi to hold back and announce the benefits later.
I didn't expect that it would actually be useful one day.
These officials who couldn't hold their composure were severely dealt with, and now they don't know how honest they are.
The reinstated officials received the housing allocation documents and rushed to the sales office of Wangcheng Mansion one by one, rushing to select houses and sign contracts, for fear that all houses would be selected.
In fact, the houses are enough, and there are even ten more units. There is no need to rob them like this. It is completely human nature.
Not to mention, after they were divided into houses, their salaries were increased, and their working hours were the same as those of the former officials of Beiping Prefecture, these people all smiled happily when they saw Li Xiao. When they met, they bowed and said: "Master Imperial Master, you Okay." "Master Imperial Master, please walk slowly." "Master Imperial Master, thank you for your hard work."
This is outrageous!
The contrast between front and back is huge.
Li Xiao lamented, "I used to be impeached all the time when there was nothing wrong with my relationship, just because the welfare of the officials in Peking was not taken care of by you, right?" ?
In short, no one says anything bad about Li Xiao now, and no one impeaches Li Xiao blindly.
The work efficiency of this group of people has also improved, and they no longer dare to charge arbitrary money to do things for others.
Why?
Because I collect money to do things, if the Inspectorate finds out, the property will be confiscated, which is not worth it!
Now that the salary has been increased so much, and there are benefits during the holidays, if you are caught looking for a small profit, you will lose a lot of money!
Not only the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there is also a newly built local government office in Beiping Prefecture called the Anti-Corruption Office, which specializes in investigating corruption and accepting reports from the public.
As a result, the officials' work efficiency has improved, and they appear energetic and energetic in the morning.
"Go to court——"
On this day, the eunuch shouted loudly and then went to the morning court.
Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair, looked at the officials below and said, "What do you think of the cancellation of the imperial examination?"
"This is a good policy, a good policy, and it must be implemented. We should replace the imperial examination with the national examination and select better talents for the country."
All the officials handed over their hands one after another, and their opinions were surprisingly unified.
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Didn't you all impeach the imperial preceptor before, saying that adjusting the resting time without authorization is a violation of the ancestral precepts, and canceling the imperial examination is a treason?"
"The Imperial Preceptor has good intentions, but I wrongly blame the Imperial Preceptor."
All the officials cupped their hands and said.
"Don't blame those who don't know, hahaha."
Li Xiao smiled and waved his hands, as if he didn't care.
"I admire your magnanimity, the Imperial Preceptor."
All the officials cupped their hands again.
"." Zhu Di was almost speechless.
Yes, after Li Xiao did this, the salary of this errand was indeed much better, and the national treasury was now enough to support such a large expenditure of money.
During this period of time, Jin Yiwei's overt and covert inspections found that corruption was almost eliminated, and everyone became more serious about their work.
I really echoed what Li Xiao said, "I feel aggrieved because I didn't get enough money."
Now that the money is in place, the treatment is adequate, and the houses are divided, everyone can talk more easily.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
At this time, Yang Shiqi came out and cupped his hands.
Zhu Di said: "Say."
Yang Shiqi said: "I think it is inappropriate to cancel the imperial examination directly and may easily cause turmoil. This matter needs further study."
Yang Shiqi also told the truth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, someone refuted him.
"Yang Shiqi, you're not right. I have carefully studied the national examination policy in the past few days. If we can select better talents, you are obstructing the national policy!"
Yi Yanguan jumped out immediately, pointed at Yang Shiqi and said.
This famous official originally did not support the abolition of the imperial examination and resigned because of it. However, after being reinstated, he was given a house and lived in a small courtyard. It was very pleasant.
Now he has become a fan and is a staunch supporter of the national division.
More casual fans also criticized Yang Shiqi, and even whispered that Yang Shiqi was ungrateful and that this lackey was incompetent!
I think it's better to let me be the lackey of the imperial master.
Li Xiao said: "What Yang Shiqi said makes some sense. I wonder if there is any compromise?"
In fact, Li Xiao also felt that there was something wrong with the sudden cancellation of the imperial examination. It mainly affected the whole country, unlike before, which only targeted one region.
Yang Shiqi said: "The Military Aircraft Department is still discussing this matter, and there is no conclusion yet."
Hearing this, Zhu Di said: "Since we are still discussing, let us come up with a strategy as soon as possible without making any mistakes."
Yang Shiqi cupped his hands and said, "I accept the decree."
The morning court ended here, and the eunuch shouted: "Quit the court!"
After leaving the court.
Li Xiao walked out of the hall, and these officials began to come over one by one to show their kindness.
However, Li Xiao naturally ignored him and ran away immediately.
That's it.
The abolition of the imperial examination was a staged victory.
In the next few days, the Military Aircraft Department has been discussing a compromise method for the imperial examination.
Li Xiao, on the other hand, was happy to be free. After all, he couldn't make up his own mind for everything, so he would be exhausted?
In the remaining time, Li Xiao began to prepare for college.
Yes, there are primary schools and middle schools now, but there are no universities.
The university that Li Xiao wants to establish must be based on science and technology, rejuvenate the country through science and technology, and focus on science and technology.
To this end, Li Xiao began to recruit talented people from all over the world to serve as university lecturers.
The so-called geniuses are those who are proficient in arithmetic, understanding of objects, astronomy and geography, and even alchemists who make alchemy are also among Li Xiao's considerations.
Alchemists actually understand some chemical laws, but they don't quite understand the principles.
The methods of extracting bronze, gold, silver, wine, etc. from ores were developed by these alchemists.
Soon, Li Xiao recruited many talents from all over the country, including a group of alchemists and Taoist priests who were engaged in refining the elixir of life.
Such news soon reached the ears of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di.
In the eyes of ordinary people, summoning alchemists from all over the country means they want to refine the elixir of immortality and think about immortality.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not believe a word about immortality.
In the imperial palace, Hongwu Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang was worried and said, "Oh no, why does Li Xiao fantasize about immortality? The Golden Gong elixirs practiced by Taoist priests are all poisonous."
"yes."
Zhu Di also shook his head and said: "Everything is going in a good direction. This Li Xiao can't go astray."
Both of them were very concerned about Li Xiao's developments.
After discovering that Li Xiao was behaving strangely, he couldn't help but worry about Li Xiao.
How many emperors in history took golden elixirs for immortality, but who can achieve immortality? Aren't they all dead in the end?
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang also specially established an ancestral precept that descendants of all generations are not allowed to seek immortality.
On the other hand, Zhu Gaochi murmured: "Grandfather, Li Xiao is a master of medicine. Can he really have the method to practice the elixir of immortality?"
"Nonsense!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said displeased: "You must not have such ridiculous ideas. People who have such ideas will eventually end up being poisoned by the golden elixir."
Zhu Gaochi stuck out his tongue and said no more.
He could only say, "I'll mention this to my brother-in-law when I have time."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, looked at Zhu Di and said: "Fourth brother, go and take a look when you have time. If Li Xiao is really practicing the elixir of immortality, stop him in time and don't let him go further down the wrong path."
Zhu Di held up his hands: "Father, don't worry. If Li Xiao is really practicing elixir, I will never spare him and give him a lesson."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.
And the other side.
After a group of alchemists were summoned by Li Xiao, Li Xiao wanted them to talk about scientific principles.
In order to make them believe in science, Li Xiao planned to conduct a small experiment first.
That is electricity, friction can generate electricity.
Electricity is the energy source that lights up the tungsten filament that makes a lightbulb light up.
Then Li Xiao also planned to use the alchemist's method to make small batteries to store electricity.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
The only drawback is that Li Xiao doesn't have the skills yet.
So during this period, Li Xiao began to refresh books related to science and technology in the mall.
In the study room of the Duke's Mansion, Li Xiao was lying on a chair, looking at Erlang's legs.
A maid beside her peeled the newly picked grapes and put them into Li Xiao's mouth.
There were also maids, one gently pinched Li Xiao's shoulders with her small hands, and the other pinched Li Xiao's legs with her small hands.
Enjoy, this is how you should enjoy it in ancient times.
"Come out, come out."
Suddenly, Li Xiao's eyes lit up, and something good came out of the system mall.
After spending 10 million points, I finally got junior high school chemistry and junior high school physics.
"Stand back."
Li Xiao waved his hand and dismissed the maid.
After the maid left, Li Xiao extracted the junior high school chemistry and junior high school physics from the system warehouse.
"It feels so familiar. I haven't seen this thing in many years."
Li Xiao was extremely emotional and turned over the first page, the first lesson.
It says: What is chemistry, classification of substances, basic concepts such as atoms, molecules, ions, elements, compounds, etc.
"Good thing. In that case, I will act as a junior high school teacher and teach them a good lesson."
With this in mind, Li Xiao planned to give a lecture first and train a group of university lecturers.
They will be free to develop it later. As time goes by, this knowledge will slowly take root and sprout.
One generation is definitely not enough. Ten or twenty generations will almost be able to popularize science.
Hundreds of years later, the Ming Dynasty's technological level, which was not yet adequate, would be at the top of the world.
In a few thousand years, I might be able to board a spaceship and fly across the galaxy.
"Today has been refreshed to the eleventh time. Let's see what good things come next. Anyway, we have enough points."
Thinking of this, Li Xiao clicked to refresh the item again. This time the refresh cost 400,000 points.
[Items refreshed in the system mall today:]
[1. Coca-Cola formula. Consume 1 million points. 】
[2. Small domestic helicopters. Consume 10 million points. 】
[3. Later celebrities will be born in their own country in advance. Scientist in the late Ming Dynasty: Song Yingxing. Consume 85 million points. 】
[Consume 819,200 points and continue to refresh items. 】
[Current points: 520 million points. 】
Seeing the products above, Li Xiao hesitated for a second and then chose to clear the mall.
The first two items are somewhat useful. Although they are not used at the moment, they can be kept.
The third item is more useful.
Li Xiaozhengchou, isn't the candidate for university president already on his lips?
Song Yingxing was born in the Wanli period. He devoted his life to scientific investigation and research on agriculture and handicraft production, and collected a wealth of scientific information.
At the same time, his advanced thinking made him a thinker who held a critical attitude towards feudalism and medieval academic traditions.
Song Yingxing's writings and research fields cover different disciplines of natural sciences and humanities, and his most outstanding work "Tiangong Kaiwu" is known as the "Encyclopedia of Chinese Craftsmanship in the 17th Century."
He was still a fish that slipped through the imperial examination system. After failing in the imperial examination many times, he gave up the idea of taking the imperial examination, and this is how he achieved his later achievements.
In a flash of light, a figure appeared in front of Li Xiao.
"Where is this?"
Song Yingxing, a scientist in the late Ming Dynasty, clearly felt that he was doing research at home just now, but suddenly he appeared in another place.
"Song Yingxing is now in the sixth year of Yongle, and standing in front of you is Duke Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty, the promoter of science and technology, and the pioneer of reform. Congratulations on coming to your previous life and serving me."
Li Xiao smiled and then introduced the current situation.
It was just the same as what was introduced to Wei Zhongxian at that time, just repeating it.
Song Yingxing listened to Li Xiao's acceptance with a confused look on his face, and then he was dumbfounded.
Li Xiao began to explain.
Half an hour later.
"When the steam train came out, what steam principle was used?"
After Song Yingxing heard this, he jumped up excitedly and said with great joy: "I have already noticed the principle of steam, but I don't know how to use it. Can you go and take a look?"
"So you've noticed it? Of course!"
Then, Li Xiao took Song Yingxing to visit Beiping City. Song Yingxing expressed an earth-shattering sigh about the current development of Beiping. This development is too advanced.
Then he discovered that history had changed. In the fifth year of Yongle, Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive, and the national power in Yongle was too strong to be added.
When Song Yingxing went to see the steam train again, he was very excited. The steam theory he thought about was verified. This is the most exciting thing for a scientist.
Returning to the Duke's Mansion again, Song Yingxing was completely impressed by Li Xiao.
"Song Yingxing is willing to devote his whole life to helping the Duke!" Song Yingxing said excitedly.
In fact, the characters created by the system are absolutely loyal to Li Xiao.
However, Li Xiao is still willing to have a heart-to-heart relationship with scientific research talents like Song Yingxing because they share the same ideals.
"Okay! I can also give you the greatest support. I will give you whatever conditions you want to cooperate with your research."
Li Xiao nodded with a smile and said, with this guy, he doesn't have to work so hard to study in college, he can completely leave it to him.
Song Yingxing cupped his hands and said: "My lord, although I don't know why it appeared in the Yongle period, Song Yingxing feels that this is God's will, and God has made my Ming Dynasty more prosperous."
During the Wanli period, Song Yingxing was quite disappointed with the imperial court, but now everything has changed. With such good conditions to study knowledge and spread knowledge, he will have no regrets in this life!
"Okay! Take these two books and study them."
Li Xiao handed over junior high school chemistry and physics to Song Yingxing.
When Song Yingxing opened it, he was astonished to see that the most basic aspects of everything in the world were analyzed in it.
Molecules, atoms. It turns out that everything is composed of these tiny particles! !
"This book is a divine book. It is far superior to the Heavenly Creation written below. The Heavenly Creation is a small way, but this is the great truth!!"
Song Yingxing was so excited that her whole soul trembled!
His hands holding the book were trembling constantly.
Li Xiao smiled and nodded, no wonder Song Yingxing was so excited.
Even though it is junior high school chemistry, it is the pinnacle of wisdom in human science and technology at this time. To the ancients, the theories contained in it are the truth of the great truth.
Li Xiao thought that if one day he could know the truth about the universe, how big the universe is, and what is outside the universe, he would probably be as excited as Song Yingxing.
Later, Li Xiao arranged for Song Yingxing to live in the Duke's Mansion. Although this kind of person did not care about such material conditions, Li Xiao still gave him a good residence and arranged for dedicated personnel to serve him.
After Song Yingxing thanked him again and again, he went to his room to study junior high school chemistry and physics.
Li Xiao thought to himself, I'm afraid only Song Yingxing can understand and understand such a book.
In the study, it became quiet again.
"This is already the twelfth time to refresh. Keep refreshing."
So, Li Xiao chose to continue refreshing, for the thirteenth time.
[Items refreshed in the system mall today:]
[1. The great truth, the vision of heaven and earth (when you say the wise sayings that transcend the times, visions will come from the sky). Consume 20 million points. 】
[2. Nine-turn Ruyi Golden Pill (remove all diseases from the body, eliminate all toxins, and restore to the peak health state of the current age). Consume 50 million points. 】
[3. Puppet doll. (Leave a thought in the puppet doll. If you die unfortunately, you can be reborn through the puppet doll.) It consumes 100 million points. 】
[Consume 1,638,400 points and continue to refresh items. 】
[Current points: 514 million points. 】
"Refreshing the 13th time, has it begun to surpass science??"
Li Xiao was a little confused after seeing the items in the mall.
Especially the puppet doll, which directly adds a life.
"Clear the mall."
After Li Xiao bought them all, he refreshed the items again.
On the fourteenth time, another puppet was spawned, and the other two were ordinary things.
After buying the puppet, Li Xiao gave up.
Li Xiao planned to use this puppet to leave a trace of his and Ningyun's thoughts and find a safe place to put it. Although his body was already that of a peerless military general and there could be no danger, this thing was prepared.
"This Nine Turns Golden Pill seems to be able to eliminate all toxins and restore health, right? It can detoxify anyway."
Think of this.
Li Xiao silently took out a cigarette, lit it, and rewarded himself.
at the same time.
Thousands of Confucian scholars from all over the country, as well as several great Confucian scholars from Shandong, came to the capital one after another.
Shandong was home to many great Confucians and was the hometown of Confucius, with a Confucius Temple.
Confucian scholars across the country learned that the imperial examinations were cancelled, and Confucianism declined.
Confucian scholars also came to the capital one after another.
At this time, the contemporary Confucian scholar Kong Mao was highly respected for his academic ethics and had the favor of teaching Xie Jin.
"Teacher!"
Outside Peiping City, Xie Jin was waiting outside the city gate early. When Kong Mao learned, Xie Jin immediately greeted him.
Xie Jin was also a great Confucian, the idol of scholars all over the world. He could write articles at the age of seven, and recited articles of a thousand words a day at the age of ten, which he would never forget for the rest of his life.
At the age of twelve, he read all the Four Books and the Five Classics and ran through their meanings.
"Xie Jin, long time no see!"
Kong Maoxue smiled and left. The two of them had not seen each other for many years and exchanged pleasantries.
This time he brought more than 300 students to the capital to reason.
After the greetings, Kong Maoxue asked: "Xie Jin, is there any reason for canceling the imperial examination?"
Xie Jin nodded: "But there is something wrong."
Hearing this, Kong Maoxue looked sad and said: "It is simply unimaginable. Is it possible to burn books and enslave Confucian scholars like the Qin Dynasty did thousands of years ago? Xie Jin, most of the officials in the Manchu Dynasty were Confucian scholars who had read the Four Books and Five Classics. Why did no one advise them? !”
Xie Jin sighed: "It's a long story. Originally, I and I resigned from office and went on strike. Unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty Imperial Counselor used money to lure them. Most of the officials have betrayed, but I and the few remaining people are alone. ah!"
"Temptation with money?"
Kong Maoxue said angrily: "This is unreasonable. Who is this great master of the Ming Dynasty? He is so cruel. Now he wants to abolish the imperial examination, which is equivalent to abolishing half of Confucianism. It is really an insult to the sages!"
Most of these Confucian scholars did not take part in the imperial examinations or serve as officials in the court. They only studied knowledge and taught and preached at home. However, when the imperial examinations were cancelled, they were more angry than anyone else.
What is even more annoying is that the national examination, which replaced the imperial examination, actually tests astronomy, geography, arithmetic and other unorthodox things.
Confucian scholars who only respect Confucianism will never tolerate their own knowledge being insulted in this way.
"I'm going to meet the Holy One! I'll question the Holy One face to face!"
The three hundred students in large cloaks behind them shouted indignantly.
"We still need to discuss this in the long term." Xie Jin welcomed these people into the city, "Please come in quickly and come to my house to discuss it in detail."
"Don't be impatient. Go in and take a rest first."
Kong Maoxue ordered the students and then led them into Beiping City.
Seeing the prosperity in Beiping City and learning about the primary and secondary schools that everyone can attend, I became even more angry.
Kong Maoxue entered Xie Jin's mansion, and the two began to discuss countermeasures all night long.
Thousands of Confucian scholars suddenly poured into Beiping City.
Zhu Gaochi also paid attention to this situation and hurriedly made preparations to see Kong Maoxue.
I plan to explain the details and express that Confucianism has not been abandoned and is still in the national examination.
However, after Prince Zhu Gaochi proposed to meet, he was rejected directly. He also told Zhu Gaochi that he requested to meet the Holy Emperor directly.
Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to convey his intention to Zhu Di.
In the Yangxin Hall, after hearing this, Zhu Di slapped the table and said angrily:
"What? You want me to go see him in person? Don't even think about it! Let them stay somewhere cool."
