But the general trend is unstoppable. Whether it is the great changes caused by the invasion of foreign capital or the great changes caused by the internal production of industry and capital, the status of Confucianism will be shaken.
Because the Ming Empire has developed to this day, it has higher requirements for the people. It no longer only requires them to be mainly engaged in agriculture, but also requires the people to play more complex labor roles.
Therefore, even if Li Juesi and others resigned, the reform of the imperial examination system continued by replacing a group of young officials who received new education as ministry-level officials.
The first thing to do is to change the public social schools in various places that still provide Confucian education to new education.
The teaching materials are all ready-made.
Because Zhu Youxiao had already implemented the new education in his own Huangzhuang, the textbooks for various subjects for different grades were already available and only needed to be printed.
Secondly, schools in various counties were converted into secondary schools. Like the secondary schools established in Huangzhuang, they both had a six-year academic system.
However, secondary school is divided into junior high school and high school.
A junior high school examination is required, which is equivalent to the previous imperial examination. The academic officials go to various prefectures and counties to preside over the examination. Those who are admitted can study in high school.
High school graduates can take the provincial examination.
Those admitted to the provincial examination can enter higher education institutions in the central and local provinces to receive higher education, and only those who graduate can take the joint examination.
None of this is a problem.
Because the areas directly ruled by the emperor, including the imperial estates and state-owned farms, as well as pro-military guards, clans, and palaces, have carried out this kind of pilot education for decades, which is completely replicable, and has even cultivated a large number of teachers for new education. .
The main problem at the moment is how to arrange the students who have already entered the school and the candidates who have passed the examination.
There are also children who are still receiving traditional Confucian education and are preparing to take the imperial examination to gain fame, and scholars who have not even obtained the qualifications of children.
“The students and candidates have arranged three ways out based on their own free will:
Some were sent to serve as Mr. New Chinese;
Some are sent to remote areas and colonial areas to serve as Confucian officials. At present, the new imperial examination system is only temporarily implemented in the customs. Those places still need Confucian officials in order to train more local people to become scholars, and then pass the local provincial examination and then become local officials;
Some of them were arranged to serve as Confucian envoys to vassal states to help revitalize Confucianism there. "
Zhu Youxiao therefore proposed his own solution.
Here, the reason why Zhu Youxiao only implemented the new imperial examination system within the customs is because many areas and colonial areas outside the customs were developed not long ago by Han immigrants. The children there are basically children from ethnic minorities. These children receive the most basic education. Enlightenment education is very difficult, and it will be even more difficult to study mathematics and physics directly. Moreover, Chinese education in these places is also the most important thing at present. Therefore, the imperial court has no plans to implement a new imperial examination system in these places.
"For Confucian scholars who have not yet achieved merit, they can re-study locally, or they can apply to the local government for travel expenses. If they go to places where the new imperial examination system has not been implemented, they can directly take the provincial examination and then serve as officials there! The imperial court allocates special funds to each province as a Subsidize the traveling expenses of these Confucian scholars to take the provincial examinations outside the customs and colonial areas."
Zhu Youxiao said.
After hearing this, Liu Hongxun agreed: "Your Majesty's idea is good. In this case, there will be more Confucian scholars in those places, which will be conducive to Hanization."
"There is no other way. Any reform will be detrimental to some people. The court has tried its best to make up for them by doing this. However, to be honest, the court also needs more Confucian scholars to go to the west, to the outside of the Guan Dynasty, to go to Xinjiang. We will establish colonial zones and even newly established vassal states, and work hard to realize the unification of the world with Han civilization!"
"You draft an edict and call for it, saying that I also encourage talented people like them to go outside the customs, overseas, and go to those places to civilize these people for the Han family. Say that this is not for my own benefit. Hegemony is for the great cause of the entire China! It is for carrying forward the Confucianism they admire!"
Zhu Youxiao said.
Liu Hongxun himself was a little excited after hearing this, and said: "If I were a few years younger, after listening to your majesty's words, I would also invite myself to the places your majesty mentioned to dedicate myself! I believe that there are still some Confucian scholars in the world. Many people with high aspirations were inspired by His Majesty's words and decided to go to these places to work hard for the unification of Han civilization!"
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "There are already young scholars such as Zhang Huangyan, Huang Binqing and Xia Yunyi. If I hadn't called them during the palace examination, they would not have invited themselves to go to the West. Now I am afraid they will have to stay there all their lives. , now Zhang Huangyan is the Governor of the Netherlands, Huang Binqing has become the Governor of Barcelona, and Xia Yunyi has become the Governor of Gibraltar, I hope they can take root in a place where everyone wears a cross!"
…
"Human beings are inherently good by nature; they are similar in nature but far apart in habits..."
In The Hague, Zhang Huangyan, the first Dutch governor of the Ming Dynasty, had to personally serve as a Confucian teacher because he did not have many available people around him. He adopted some Dutch orphans in the city and taught them to read, starting with the most basic Three Character Classic.
At the same time, the Dutch orphans he adopted also recited it seriously, but because they did not have a Chinese-speaking environment, they recited it rather stiffly.
besides.
Zhang Huangyan, the Dutch governor, also acted as a matchmaker, allowing the officers and soldiers stationed in the Netherlands to marry local Dutch women as much as possible, in the hope that the first batch of mixed-race children would be born.
Children of mixed race are at least half Han Chinese, and can also be the first batch of people to be Hanized.
The reason why Zhang Huangyan is the matchmaker is because he is the only Han Chinese here who can speak Dutch.
After all, Zhang Huangyan, as a famous person in history, is indeed a genius among the Han people of this era. He is indeed talented in learning languages, so that he now has to bear more recognition.
Fortunately, the Netherlands is a country dominated by the business class, which only values profits.
Therefore, when Zhang Huangyan, a matchmaker, hired these Dutch businessmen with a large sum of money to sell the women they had available for sale as the wives of Han Chinese officers and soldiers, these Dutch businessmen did not refuse, and collected many Dutch women and sold them to Han Chinese as wives. Lucky Dutch businessmen also directly abducted and trafficked domestic women and even foreign women.
"Wow!"
While Zhang Huangyan was teaching a group of Dutch children he had adopted to read the Three Character Classic, he heard a baby crying.
It was his first mixed-race child born to a Dutch aristocratic woman he married.
Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but smile.
Because he never thought that he would promote Chineseization in this way.
He had to announce the end of get out of class early and then returned to his residence.
