Compared with the future of the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Yunxi expected, today's imperial examination system is no longer enough to support his various future plans.
A Confucian who is stubborn, stubborn, and unwilling to make progress is destined to become something behind the times.
Nice romance
There are specialties in the art industry, this is something that people often say in later generations.
However, in the current Ming Dynasty, as long as you are a high school official and get on the list, you can be an official in any yamen.
This is an era that does not pay attention to technical skills, but only pays attention to the articles of sages and answers to current affairs.
After such a person becomes an official, he may become a perfect bureaucrat, but he is definitely not a qualified official.
Now Zhejiang Province is already implementing the land clearing order and tax reform, and it is only a matter of time before it is implemented throughout the Ming Dynasty.
With this series and subsequent innovations, a more professional official system will be needed to realize his ideas one by one.
Having Jie Jin, Xia Yuanji, and Tie Xuan is not enough.
Zhu Yunxi needed more officials from the grassroots and with better professional knowledge to join the Ming Dynasty.
Let the officials in the Ministry of Accounts know how to calculate accounts well. Officials of the Ministry of Punishment can speak the laws of the Ming Dynasty with their eyes closed. Officials from the Ministry of Industry must be familiar with new techniques in the world.
Today is a game.
The two pitiful but incompetent bosses in the Ministry of Works in front of me are the two who took the blame so that they could provoke this incident.
The two dawdling heads of the Ministry of Industry didn't know why the emperor's grandson suddenly asked like this.
Lin Bei! We are only now aware of this unusual new spinning machine. We are not even familiar with ordinary spinning machines.
Lin Bei! Your grandson wants the two of us to answer this question?
Isn't this deliberately looking for trouble?
For a time, the two directors of the Ministry of Industry, who were destined to take the blame, were hesitant and unable to speak.
Zhu Yunxi frowned, and anger appeared on his face: "Officials from the Ministry of Industry, can't you figure this out?"
"Great grandson..."
"minister……"
"Shut up!" Zhu Yunxi burst into anger and shouted, startling the aunts who were spinning and weaving.
Zhu Yunxi, on the other hand, had one hand on his hips and the other angrily irritated the two heads of the Ministry of Industry, who were lowering their heads like quails.
"You are officials of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty! These artifacts produced by the Ministry of Industry are not even considered. What use do I want from you, and what use does the imperial court want from you!"
Before the two heads of the Ministry of Industry could speak to defend themselves.
Zhu Yunxi had already looked angrily at Craftsman Zhang, who was bowing to the side. Ever since he entered the yard, he had looked at the new spinning machine with curiosity.
"You! Answer Gu's question. How long does it take to make a spinning machine? How much material does it cost?"
? ?
The two heads of the Ministry of Industry couldn't help but raise their heads and glance at Zhu Yunxi secretly. This question was different from their previous questions!
Craftsman Zhang had just watched the emperor's grandson reprimanding two officials from the Ministry of Industry, and now he began to ask himself.
Craftsman Zhang was nervous, swallowing his saliva, and took a closer look at the new spinning machine.
Probably because he had an idea, Craftsman Zhang bowed and clasped his fists in front of Zhu Yunxi.
"Reporting to my grandson, I see how exquisitely crafted this spinning machine is, I guess you must have put extra effort into making it."
As he spoke, he looked at his colleagues who were standing together and bowing because of the arrival of the emperor's grandson.
After boasting, Craftsman Zhang added: "According to a small estimate, the craftsmen who will supervise this loom can make one in three days. The material consumption is probably only three taels of silver."
Zhu Yunxi nodded and looked at the craftsmen brought out from the palace.
Several palace craftsmen nodded silently.
Zhu Yunxi smiled at Craftsman Zhang who was going to be the supervisor: "You are very good."
Craftsman Zhang felt that this compliment would be enough for him to propagate it to his colleagues for ten days when he returned to the prison.
Zhu Yunxi once again looked at the two dull-witted directors of the Ministry of Industry who were wasting the country's taxes.
"Did you hear that? He is wearing an official robe issued by the imperial court, receiving a salary from the imperial court, and working for the Ministry of Industry, but he doesn't even know this!"
"The imperial court wants you to serve as officials in the Ministry of Industry. It wants you to take care of the Ministry's errands and be familiar with the craftsmanship there. What have you done!"
"A bunch of silverfish!"
As soon as the word "worm" came out, the two heads of the Ministry of Industry, who were destined to take the blame, trembled all over, their legs went weak, and they knelt on the ground with a bang.
The two of them fell to the ground and begged at the same time: "I am guilty and have neglected my duty. Please forgive me for my sin. I must change my ways in the future and never let my grandson down!"
"In the future?" Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly.
With the puzzled eyes on the side, Jie Jin winked at Tang Queqing and Mu Caiyun, and the two women immediately left the yard with Zhu Huang, who had been impatient for a long time.
Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and looked at the two heads of the Ministry of Industry kneeling in front of him.
"You are receiving a salary from the imperial court and eating a lot of rice from the imperial court. Do you still want a chance to change your ways?"
"If everyone is like you, will I, the great Ming of the Zhu family, have to wait for you to change?"
"The people of the world must wait for you all to learn it!"
"Get out! Give Gu Gun some answers!"
By the time these two people get back to Yingtian City, they will no longer be aware of how angry they were today.
Zhu Yunxi thought quietly.
After receiving the order, the two heads of the Ministry of Industry immediately climbed out of the yard on their hands and knees and fled without any intention of staying.
Wait for the two scapegoats to be driven away.
A warm smile immediately appeared on Zhu Yunxi's face, and he walked to the new loom with a smile: "You have done well. When you return to the palace this time, Gu Hui and Manager Sun have told you that your rewards will not be less."
Several palace craftsmen immediately bowed: "Young men, thank you grandson."
Zhu Yunxi nodded and asked the women who did not dare to spin or weave because of his previous anger.
"Is this new loom easy to use?"
The women immediately nodded one after another, looking at the loom in front of them, with uncontrollable affection in their eyes.
"I heard from some master craftsmen that this is the picture you drew, Taisun, and they made it according to the picture. The women don't know how to make this thing, but they know that this loom is much easier to use than the previous looms! "
"No! You are wrong!" Another woman next to her immediately retorted, and then looked at Zhu Yunxi: "I'm sorry, grandson, she can't speak. This loom is so useful! A civilian woman. Now that I’m using this, I can no longer look down on those looms from before!”
As she spoke, the woman showed a look in her eyes that she wanted to take possession of the loom in her hand.
Zhu Yunxi didn't understand the thoughts of these women.
He waved his hand: "As long as they are useful! These looms will be kept at Zhuangzi from now on. If Zhuangzi does not have enough, I will have more looms made."
When they heard that the emperor's grandson would not take away these looms, the faces of the women became more and more happy.
Zhu Yunxi walked up to Craftsman Zhang at this time.
"If I want you to supervise the manufacture of this new loom, can you guarantee that you will make it for me this year before the silkworms emerge from the chrysalises?"
Craftsman Zhang suddenly frowned, thought for a while and whispered: "Can we use the small ones who will serve as supervisors?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "That's probably impossible. There are other things to do as a prisoner. But Gu Yun, you can recruit folk craftsmen, and you can also bring some apprentices. In terms of materials, the court will not have any gaps."
Craftsman Zhang pondered again for a while, and then said conservatively after a long time: "If this is the case, I can guarantee that when the silkworm chrysalis comes out, I can hand over no less than a thousand looms!"
"A thousand units?"
Zhu Yunxi grunted and thought about the usage in Zhejiang. It was probably not enough, but a thousand looms was not too small. Replacing new looms always had to be done step by step.
He nodded and said: "Remember the thousand units you said, I will issue an order later, asking you to do this as a supervisor. If you do enough, I will not hesitate to reward you. If the quantity is not enough, if the quality is not good... …”
"My little head guarantee! I will never delay my grandson's affairs!"
Craftsman Zhang may have tasted some different meanings in Zhu Yunxi's words. He immediately held his head high and chest out, with the confidence of a great craftsman from the imperial dynasty, and promised with a banging sound on his chest.
Zhu Yunxi became more and more satisfied.
Look! This is a truly talented person!
Afterwards, Zhu Yunxi had a simple meal at Laoshan Palace.
After all, the old village chief wholeheartedly asked people to prepare some of the food requested by the twenty-third uncle Zhu Huang.
After eating, there was another bout of digestion.
Finally, everyone slowly returned to Yingtian City.
By the time Zhu Yunxi returned to the East Palace, the sky was completely dark.
Sitting at the desk, a piece of white paper was spread out in front of him.
Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly.
Today, I used the matter of the new textile machinery to reprimand the two directors of the Ministry of Industry in front of everyone in order to provoke this matter.
However, whether it is to improve Confucianism or to start from scratch, it will require more back-up and difficult processes.
Starting anew is the best way, but Zhu Yunxi also knows that this is currently impossible. Then he can only achieve his goal by improving Confucianism.
At hand are several summaries of the changes in the imperial examination system from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Ming Dynasty.
Nothing in the world remains unchanged. As long as there are changes, he can take it to the court as an example.
However, how to add reform measures and how to allow more professional people to enter the court and hold appropriate official positions are extremely complicated matters.
Zhu Yunxi thought more and more deeply.
He didn't even notice that Tang Queqing, who had already washed himself and was wearing only an inner coat and a flowing gauze jacket, walked behind him.
Probably because the food in the East Palace is so good, Tang Queqing is becoming more and more generous now.
This one is big and includes many points.
A lining and flowing gauze can't stop the already blooming breasts at all.
The skin exposed under the short sleeves, under the light of the lights, was firm without a trace of wrinkles, and the smooth pink was rosy.
Tang Queqing's face turned red, and he stretched out his neatly manicured fingers and gently placed them on Zhu Yunxi's forehead.
"My grandson seems a little angry today..."
The fingers on his forehead brought a touch of coldness, making Zhu Yunxi's back feel numb.
In my heart, a nameless fire surged up.
He stretched out a hand, gently held Tang Queqing's palm, and slowly moved it upward to rub it.
"Why are you still not sleeping?"
Tang Queqing's breathing became uncontrollable, and he whispered in a trembling voice: "I am here to serve my grandson..."
