"It's getting late, everyone has said so much, and I know a lot of people's thoughts, but I want to share my own thoughts next."
"I am the emperor, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty prospers, I will be able to live a better life. If the Ming Dynasty declines or even perishes, I will inevitably not escape the fate of death. Even if the new dynasty allows me to live for two more years in order to realize its benevolence and righteousness, The fate of death cannot be avoided.
During the more than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been numerous social contradictions.
If I don't reform, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed within ten or twenty years, and the tragedy of Liaodong will be the future of the Ming Dynasty.
I know that when I say this, many people will sneer at me, thinking how could the Kingdom of Heaven be finished within ten or twenty years?
But I tell you, with the help of hundreds of officials, it is a miracle that it can last ten or twenty years.
At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, and in the early years of the Jin Dynasty, who would have thought that the Five Husties disrupted China and caused 300 years of turmoil and partition in China?
Before the Anshi Rebellion, who had thought that the Tang Empire would perish?
Before the Yuan Dynasty, who would have thought that barbarians would completely occupy the land of China?
Many things are not what everyone thinks they will be.
I know that many scholars think that I am a cruel monarch. I have no objection to this. After all, compared to being a so-called benevolent and righteous king who subjugates the country, I am still willing to be a cruel emperor and lead the Ming Dynasty to complete the changes.
I now announce the reform of the imperial examination. Starting this year, the two capitals and thirteen provincial capitals of the Ming Dynasty will each establish an imperial academy, with the emperor as the president. From now on, everyone who wants to be an official must graduate from the imperial academy before participating in the imperial examination. ”.
The imperial examination system is indeed an innovative way to select talents, but people's energy is limited, and so are their talents.
What was tested in the imperial examination? It's an article and it's talent.
But what does it take to be an official?
It's work, it's dealing with things that need to be dealt with. It is to maintain the dignity of the country and the law.
You are very talented, can you do this?
If a layman manages the Agricultural Bank of China, it will be self-destruction.
What Zhu Youjian wants is officials who work hard, not a group of idiots who are talented and think they are noble!
A group of people who talk about benevolence and morality, but behind them all are business people.
"If you want to be an official, you must enter the Royal School and complete the corresponding subjects based on what you want to do."
"From today on, all officials within the three clans are not allowed to do business, and violators will be automatically dismissed.
Let me say something here. Looking at ancient and modern times, among those corrupt officials who desperately want to be slaves to the subjugation of their country, only less than one in 10,000 people are because of low income, and most of them are because of greed! Because they want to subjugate the country and exterminate the species.
But they often use low income as an excuse. I just want to say that if you think your income is low, then go do something else. Anyone who becomes an official will grab you if you reach out. If you find out, you will die! The family must pay ten times, or even a hundred times, compensation for the corruption gains. Life after life, I have to bear the shame caused by corrupt officials. "
"I know many people are thinking, I just embezzled some money, what's wrong?
But I tell you, embezzling disaster relief funds is driving the people to death and forcing them to resist.
There must be people here who are dissatisfied. Why don't I just do a little bit of corruption? It won't have any impact, I'll tell you.
If you give him a little bit, you can get 100,000 yuan for disaster relief, but only 1,000 taels can be realized. The people are hungry and the dog officials turn a blind eye. Do you think they should be killed or not? "
"Kill. No error updates@"
"To be killed."
"To be killed."
"To be killed."
"To be killed."
...
Under the guidance of some people, the people shouted in unison,
For the common people, as long as they kill corrupt officials, it is a good thing; if they protect corrupt officials, it is a bad thing.
"Corruption of military pay is a proper act between men and women.
Accepting bribes and creating shoddy projects will harm the country and the people. Not killing them will not make the people angry, and not killing them will not comfort the people. "
The world is indeed not black and white, but we must protect the interests of law-abiding people and suppress those who break the law. Using power to bully talented people is what a country should do, and it is the foundation for the country's long-term sustainability. .
