Zhu Yuanzhang was confused by Li Yanxi, "Since you are satisfied, why do you want to resign?"
He thought just now that Li Yanxi was dissatisfied and said such words deliberately to spite him.
After all, Li Yanxi is also a person who cares about face. Her only daughter was taken over by her own children and she was not given a high status. It would be really ugly to say it out loud.
“First of all, Weichen is old and often feels tired during class.
Secondly, as the editor-in-chief of the Yingtian Journal, Weichen has too many things to manage and cannot spare much energy.
Weichen also decided to make the Ying Astronomical Journal bigger and stronger, hoping that one day, there will be a Ying Astronomical Journal wherever there are people! Li Yanxi cupped her hands and said, "So, I really can't continue to stay in the main hall and occupy my position!" "
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly. He also subscribed to the Astronomical Journal, which published one small issue every two days and one large issue every five days.
There are not only various exquisite poems and songs, but also eye-catching chapter novels, and even folk anecdotes and injustices.
There are also special people's newspapers and commercial newspapers, which are more comprehensive than the government's official newspapers.
That stack of newspapers was so cheap that even ordinary people could afford to order it.
For this reason, many talents have emerged in Yingtian recently.
"We don't allow you to resign. You can adjust your class time and reduce the time you spend in the palace teaching." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
He really couldn't bear to let such an outstanding scholar go.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's just that I want to be extremely dedicated to my job and don't want to be distracted!" Li Yanxi said: "Firstly, it can find talents for the great cause. Secondly, it can promote literary events. Thirdly, it can also make the literary newspaper more powerful." major!
His Majesty was dissatisfied and said that in three days, there will be the first talent exchange conference in Yingtian. Currently, more than a thousand princes have signed up.
These people are all literati in the field, and there are many outstanding ones among them.
When the time comes, Wei Chen will go over and take charge of the overall situation.
In addition, Prince Wu's Mansion, Yingtian Literature Newspaper, Yingtian Chamber of Commerce, and Fengyang Government Office jointly launched a new diploma.
This diploma can be used to consider the student's learning level. For example, students who have completed elementary school can get a elementary school certificate, and those who have attended county school can get a child student. If they are famous, such as scholars, they can issue advanced diplomas.
With this diploma, you can get priority admission from Prince Wu's Mansion, Literary Journal, Yingtian Chamber of Commerce, and Fengyang Government Yamen.
If they don't have fame, it won't make these literati become impoverished, but it will give them a place to stand and contribute their own strength! "
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a while, "Diploma? Why haven't we heard of it?"
"Your Majesty is dissatisfied and said that this is also an attempt by King Wu, and Wei Chen also wants to implement this matter!" Li Yanxi felt a little nervous. To put it bluntly, this diploma is the second honorary title given by the government. An accident , it’s easy to get into trouble, “Getting a chance to gain fame is like trying to pick one out of ten thousand to cross a single-plank bridge.
If you have a reputation as a scholar, that's fine, but some people remain a child all their lives, unable to move up or down.
This diploma is to further release the power of these people.
It’s not that many people have no literary talent, nor are they not outstanding, they just... are not outstanding in the imperial examination!
This can be considered an attempt! "
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes. He was not stupid, "Does the prince know?"
Li Yanxi was stunned and then asked: "The prince is the president of the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce. King Wu has said that these scholars will be available to you at any time according to their talents in the future!"
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang understood that this was to help the prince select talents in the opposition.
He does not think that those in the court are talents and the people are idiots.
On the contrary, he was already very dissatisfied with some people in the court.
This kind of private appointment was exactly what he wanted, and since it was not an official appointment in the imperial court, those people didn't take it too seriously.
"How many levels are there in a diploma?"
“The six levels correspond to elementary school to supervisory level, and each diploma needs to be obtained with real materials.
Moreover, diplomas have different professional directions. For example, those who farm are called agriculture, those who work are called engineering, and those who study law are called lawyers. Even if someone wants to open a school, they need to obtain a special teaching certificate..."
Li Yanxi explained in detail, and Zhu Yuanzhang listened very carefully. After a long while, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This is to divide people according to their majors and maximize talents. It's a bit interesting."
"That's what King Wu means. The imperial examination is where the prosperity of the country is, but it is not everything! It is good to be an official and shine for the people, but those who have fame but only know about enjoying happiness, although they are The supporters of the imperial court may one day become a liability.
It is already good if ten of a thousand students can become masters.
The remaining more than 900 people were all cattle and horses.
King Wu just wanted to give these more than 900 people a chance, a chance to become a master even if they failed to pass the imperial examination. Li Yanxi mentioned Zhu Jun, her eyes shining, "So, Your Majesty, I really have no intention of staying in the main hall. I just want to carry out the work and find more talents for the court, your Majesty, and the prince."
If there are talents with various certificates in Riyingtian, thousands or tens of thousands, no matter what happens, His Majesty only needs to say a word, and these talents will come to His Majesty like crucian carp crossing the river.
Solve problems for His Majesty. "
Zhu Yuanzhang was moved by the cake drawn by Li Yanxi, "You should know that diplomas and imperial examinations have the same purpose. This has shaken the roots of the imperial court. Do you understand?"
"Wei Chen understands, so before doing this, I came here to report to His Majesty." Li Yanxi said: "I remember earlier, Wei Chen once debated with His Highness King Wu about what the great cause will be like in a hundred years.
His Highness King Wu said that in a hundred years, the great cause will be to stand on the top of the world and become the only supreme power in the East.
It will become a celestial country where congratulations come from all directions, and it will become a dream country where people live and work in peace and contentment, and which is envied by everyone.
The ministers also debated the advantages and disadvantages of the country with the King of Wu. Among them, the King of Wu talked about the imperial examination and the court's preferential treatment of scholars and officials with meritorious status.
Wei Chen asked King Wu, was there a shortage of talents in the court at that time? "
"The King of Wu said that there is no shortage of talents, they are everywhere!" Li Yanxi said: "I asked the King of Wu again why His Highness is so sad. Isn't it a good thing that there are too many talents?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and did not interrupt Li Yanxi.
"The King of Wu said that it was a good thing. If you look around every state, every county, every township, and every village, you will see people with high status. These people are the most loyal supporters of the imperial court.
However, scholars became troubled, resulting in a more terrible disaster for clans than hundreds of years ago.
A clan is a family clan and can be eradicated.
But looking at it, the world is full of scholars, how can we eradicate them?
One person can be eradicated, but how can one eradicate hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, or even one hundred thousand people? "
