Since the collapse of the Tubo Empire, the entire snowy plateau has reproduced the situation before the emergence of the Tubo Empire.
The land is full of great kings, fleeting and glorious.
There is no longer a unified military power that can cover the entire Qiangtang land with its military power, and then radiate outwards to compete with the Central Plains dynasty for control of the Western Regions.
The population is sparse, resources are scarce, it is not suitable for human survival, and there is no unified military power.
The combination of these characteristics determines that the Qiangtang land during this period had nothing but geographical advantages. Most of the people still living here now watch the mountains and chant sutras in the Lhasa Valley, and live a Buddhist life.
Although the land of Qiangtang was also in Su Yonglin's plan, its importance had been greatly reduced. It was basically at the end of the territory and was at the top level.
If you want to win here, you don't need to expend a lot of force. A Renaissance branch and an army are enough. They can't resist, and their mobilization power and economic strength are not of the same level.
In the current Hehuang land, you can occasionally see some merchants from the Qiangtang land coming to trade with simple goods in exchange for some survival materials and a few luxury goods they need. Possibility of revitalization.
Sometimes, nature is so ruthless.
When it's warm, you can suddenly burst out with powerful power, compete with the most powerful empire in the world, and leave it disgraced.
When it's cold, it doesn't even give you a little bit of hope, and the survival of the population becomes an insurmountable problem.
But this was good, at least Su Yonglin and Li Tang did not encounter an opponent that they could struggle with for almost a lifetime and could not completely surrender.
The emergence of a unified military power on the Great Plateau was a bit too difficult for the Central Plains farming dynasty.
From the end of October to the beginning of November of the ninth year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin held three future military meetings with the General Staff Headquarters, the Privy Council, and the Military Affairs Department of the Renaissance Society. They basically set the goals of the next stage of the Ming Dynasty's military operations and mapped out the territory for the next stage. The return plan is finalized.
The complete settlement of the Dali Kingdom, the Western Liao Kingdom, and South Vietnam are all included in this five-year military plan.
Judging from the current production capacity and economic strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to launch two large-scale wars and one small-scale local war to completely resolve the three border issues within five years. As long as the storage and transportation of strategic materials are done well in advance, The military aspect is basically a flat push.
By then, the perfect territory in Su Yonglin's ideal will also become a reality, and all of Ming's strategic difficulties will be solved.
The only difficulty lies in post-war governance and the talent cultivation of the Ming Dynasty itself. These are problems that require a lot of energy to solve.
In terms of talent training, Su Yonglin made the decision to pay close attention to education and optimize the talent selection mechanism. When selecting officials through the imperial examination, in addition to the written examination, there will also be interviews.
In the entire education process, in order to prevent the trained talents from being separated from the masses and going to heaven, sufficient agricultural production, industrial production and labor links must be added, so that the trained talents can personally experience the difficulties and sufferings of production, Strengthen their class consciousness.
Learning culture and knowledge is for production, to build a better home and tomorrow, and to improve one's own quality, not to be the master, to be superior to others, to be the so-called master of others.
Although this still cannot prevent the emergence of corrupt officials and superior people, it is by no means meaningless.
In fact, after this period of purge, Su Yonglin also did some reflection.
After the Great Purge, he discovered that a considerable number of corrupt officials were young officials selected from the imperial examinations in the second year of Hongwu, the fifth year of Hongwu, and even the eighth year of Hongwu.
Young officials took great strides to join the ranks of corrupt officials and degenerates, which made him reflect on whether there was something wrong with the education in the Ming Dynasty.
He took the time to investigate various public schools in Central Capital and studied some curriculum arrangements and assessment standards in education. Finally, he found that some of the measures he had set in the early days to cultivate talents to prevent them from being separated from the masses were ineffective.
For example, he required universities to arrange for students to have internships in the agricultural production cycle at least once a year. However, in the actual operation process, because the imperial examinations selected officials based entirely on test scores, these production links were regarded as useless and perfunctory.
Judging from the current situation, scores-only theory has appeared in the entire Zhongdu education system. Almost all candidates, whether they are non-Fuxing members or Fuxing members, regard scores as the most important existence.
Others are not taken seriously at all.
A teacher from a school lamented to Su Yonglin - the current educational situation in the Ming Dynasty is "regardless of academic proficiency, only the number of points is competed for".
Su Yonglin was very annoyed by this situation, but at the same time he also noticed some of the effects of his long-term lack of energy on educational affairs.
For example, a small amount of energy was invested in the political and legal schools in Zhongdu and the cadre training schools within the Renaissance Society, and to a certain extent, the progress of basic education was neglected.
For example, the Ministry of Rites is currently responsible for the nominal management of national education affairs, while the person responsible for the imperial examination is the Examination Department, which is nominally a subordinate of the Ministry of Rites and is actually directly responsible for him.
After the second great purge, Yelujin, as the key man, gained Su Yonglin's trust and was promoted to Minister of Rites, where he became fully responsible for education and examination affairs.
But in fact, the Ministry of Rites does not have the qualifications to directly manage national education affairs.
Since the second great purge, the Ministry of Rites has actually become a formal department. It is a consortium of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Examination Department that truly manages school construction, student enrollment, educational content, and teaching material management across the country.
The Ministry of Finance is responsible for funding the construction of schools, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is responsible for counting the population and arranging student enrollment, and the Examination Department is responsible for preparing teaching materials based on examination content and selecting teachers.
In actual operation, this operation method is somewhat chaotic, and it is easy to have unclear rights and responsibilities. However, the final guidance is based on the examination content of the Examination Department.
In short, the direct purpose of this system is to train candidates who can adapt to the examination content, and select qualified candidates based on the examination content, and then recruit them to become officials and enter various systems.
Under the leadership of this system, the selected talents do indeed have excellent professional abilities. For example, candidates from law and engineering majors are all very professional and have absolutely excellent professional abilities.
But a few of them have ideals in mind, so benevolent people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions.
Four years after Hongwu, Su Yonglin’s main focus was on economic construction and military struggle. He did not pay enough attention to some internal issues, which led to many internal problems. The biggest impact was on the education level. The problem.
After discovering these problems, Su Yonglin deeply felt his mistakes, learned from the pain, and decided to carry out a series of educational reforms.
The first step is to transfer all educational powers and responsibilities to the Ministry of Rites, and then rename the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Education.
The departments responsible for sacrifices, ceremonies, etc. that were originally responsible for the Ministry of Rites were all transferred out and transferred to the Xuanhui Yuan. In the future, the Xuanhui Yuan will be responsible for carrying out relevant responsibilities.
The academic department assumes full responsibility for education and examinations and divests other functions.
It consists of three departments: School Department, Education Department and Examination Department, which are respectively responsible for school construction and administrative management, educational content formulation and management, and examination-related regulations.
Yelujin was promoted from the Minister of Rites to the Minister of Academic Affairs, and was still responsible for the work of the Examination Department. Du Zhi, the former left minister, was responsible for the work of the School Department, and Zhuo Bei, the right minister, was responsible for the work of the Education Department.
Du Zhi and Zhuo Bei are both Fuxing members.
Although Yelujin is not a member of the Renaissance, he is closely related to the Skynet Army and has been responsible for the work of the Examination Department. He is the resolute executor of Su Yonglin's will, and Su Yonglin trusts him very much.
Through this scale adjustment, Su Yonglin was able to straighten out the messy education situation, and he also had a clue of what to do next.
