Chapter 33 Xu Daxunzi
Zhu Yunwen and Ding Xian had a lot of thoughts, so naturally they told Fu Youde in front of so many people. Ding Xian must be conveyed privately.
After military arrangements are made, things will not end so simply.
Fang Xiaoru said: "Your Majesty, the world has not offered Enke for many years. Please transfer Enke to today, in the second half of this year, and consider taking more places to recruit famous people from all over the world."
Zhu Yunwen said: "What do you think?"
Korean Duke Li Qi wanted to say something, but in the end he could only sigh slightly.
To be honest, Mr. Han already knew what Zhu Yunwen meant.
This is not the first time that the imperial examination has been discussed.
In fact, although there is no imperial examination, the entire system of county schools, government schools, and Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty still exists. Among them, although there are no titles like Scholar and Juren, there is still the title of Student Member.
The so-called students are students from county schools, government schools, and Imperial College. It has nothing to do with whether they have the title of scholar or nobility.
Zhu Yuanzhang granted tax-free preferential treatment. It was only when Zhu Yuanzhang found out that he gave a tax-free policy, which was missed by future generations of moths. Each person only had a few acres of land, and in the end it turned into a collapse of the building, with almost all residents not paying taxes.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang increased some subsidies for students, but subtracted the policy of exemptions and exemptions. After all, He Xizai, the Ming Dynasty's finances were running well overall. So, don’t worry about these extra expenses.
However, after several discussions, the preferential treatment policy for scholars and other scholars was strengthened. The policy of preferential treatment and exemption of taxes and corvee was not mentioned, but was intensified.
Originally, the imperial examinations were usually held in the spring, which was called the Spring Festival.
Today, we will first hold the exams for scholars and candidates to select scholars and candidates to participate in the Spring Festival next year. But now Fang Xiaoru means that Jinshi will be selected this autumn. Fang Xiaoru's move was obviously to win people's hearts and increase the number of Jinshi. It is a signal to the world.
Today’s emphasis on writing.
This offsets the impact of defeat on the front line.
Is this a good idea?
It was difficult for Li Qi to judge for a while, but one thing was indeed clear. That is, this will greatly increase the power of the Confucian officials headed by Fang Xiaoru and form a new trend, which is unfavorable to the Korean Duke Li Qi.
But what can Li Qi say?
Speaking of one thousand to ten thousand, Tang Shengzong was defeated.
After losing so miserably and losing almost half of Shandong, he had no confidence to speak in court.
Korean Duke Li Qi didn't speak, so naturally no one else spoke.
So Zhu Yunwen settled this matter. After settling this matter, Zhu Yunwen breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Zhu Yunwen knew the pros and cons of this matter, what Zhu Yunwen was most worried about now was not the pros and cons of this matter, but the war in the north. After all, the defeat of Yu County had a big impact on Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yunwen felt that Zhu Xiongying threats.
So, the Jinshi he wants to select is not based on how talented these Jinshi are? But reliable.
The imperial examination system, in the form of disciples of the emperor, gave Jinshi the opportunity to rise to the top in one step. At the same time, it also deeply tied these Jinshi to the emperor. Zhu Yunwen wanted to place these Jinshi at the most critical positions on the northern front. He wanted nothing more than reliability.
In Zhu Yunwen's opinion, if all the county chiefs in Shandong were loyal, even if the north had an occasional victory, they would not be defeated thousands of miles away.
Nanjing's resources and strength are ten times that of Beijing. In this case, as long as the people below are reliable, even if they use the stupidest method, the Northern Army will be overwhelmed.
Therefore, the most important thing is to be loyal in employing people. In times of emergency, it is also good to have a group of loyal talents. Who doesn’t know that the North has no intention of holding an imperial examination? Jinshi like them are only found in the south, and it's hard to say in the north. Naturally, he will not surrender to the enemy. As for other things, we will talk about it in the future.
After these two things are settled.
The following discussion will enter trivia time. No need to detail. After all, although Liaodong and Beijing are no longer owned by Nanjing, the war
It has already reached Shandong and Henan. But the Ming Dynasty is not just about the north, there are also things in other places.
During this period of time, Zhu Yunwen did not dare to change local officials easily. Otherwise, what would happen if someone was kicked by a donkey and had breakfast?
But Zhu Yunwen naturally did not do anything. Now he is completing the personnel integration in other places except Beijing. Whether it goes up or down. It is not expected that the imperial court's control over local areas could be achieved during the Hongwu period. But at least it can mobilize local manpower and material resources. to deal with war.

Only Xu Da wanted to know about the affairs of the imperial court. There is nothing Xu Da doesn’t know.
The memorials written by Tang Shengzong to the imperial court, as well as the private letters written by the imperial court to Han Gongfu and Fu Youde, somehow got into Xu Da's hands.
After Xu Da read it, he thought for a long time and called his three sons into the study.
Xu Da's study, the three sons rarely come in.
After entering at this moment, I discovered that the entire study was filled with scrolls, and in the middle of the study, there was a table covered with white cloth. The top was undulating, and I didn't know what was underneath?
Xu Da was sitting in a wheelchair, which was originally pushed by a servant, but Xu Da's eldest son, Xu Huizu, took over the wheelchair and dismissed the servant behind Xu Da.
At this moment, Xu Da had white hair and was leaning in a wheelchair. It was already summer, and he was still covered with a fleece blanket. He coughed twice from time to time. Xu Huizu looked at it and couldn't help but feel a little sad. Xu Da was already ill, and the unrest after Zhu Yuanzhang's death was a heavy blow to Xu Da.
It is said that Xu Da did not have no complaints about Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, his lips and teeth were not without bumps, not to mention, the number one man in the army and the suspicious emperor.
However, after decades of ups and downs between Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang, all the gratitude and resentment turned into mourning after Zhu Yuanzhang's death. Xu Da felt that he had an obligation to handle Zhu Yuanzhang's posthumous affairs, just as Xu Da felt that if he died first, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely make arrangements for his children.
But he was so old that he couldn't do anything.
This feeling made Xu Da, who was already in poor health, even more unbearable.
I'm getting old very quickly lately. Xu Da even felt that he was just waiting to die. If a person is in this world and cannot do what he wants to do, what is the difference between life and death? Especially for a great hero like him.
Xu Da has already arranged his posthumous affairs. The coffin, golden nanmu, and mausoleum were all given to Zhu Yuanzhang, right next to the Xiaoling Mausoleum. Xu Da also went to see it. It was only a few steps away from the tomb passage of Xiaoling. The old brothers could visit each other underground.
After arranging all this, Xu Da seemed to have lost interest in everything, even his children were rare. What are you doing meeting these people?
The second eldest son, Xu Yingxu, is a mediocre person. If such a person were not his son, Xu Da would not even look at him. However, there is nothing I can do about it. The virtuous are also my sons, and the foolish are also my sons. What can I do?
However, mediocre people are also easy to arrange. The second child knows that his abilities are limited, but he is honest and obedient. Xu Da has already made arrangements for him. In the future, he will serve as a hereditary commander in a certain guard. The rich and powerful cannot give it. But there is no problem in passing on wealth from generation to generation for at least three lifetimes. No matter how far it is, it depends on the blessings of the descendants.
The eldest son, Xu Huizu, was his most proud son. He was an upright man and the most loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Even his father was not that loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was the most loyal. Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen had some problems in the edict of passing the throne, which made Xu Huizu somewhat Hesitant. Otherwise, he would definitely go to ask for a fight at this time.
This made Xu Da helpless. At the same time, the boss is also the most filial.
Xu Da felt that after his death, future generations would probably think that he was a loyal minister, but only he knew how much he thought about himself secretly, especially the boss who kept silent about receiving the favor of the country, which made Xu Da extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do. You can't tell your children all the dirty calculations between him and Zhu Yuanzhang.
Even though Zhu Chongba was dead, it was unjust to say bad things about him. Not to mention, Zhu Chongba is ruthless and has multiple views on everyone, but Xu Da also understands that everyone in that position is like that. Not to mention, Zhu Chongba will
He was so cruel that Xu Da estimated that Zhu Chongba had thought about killing him many times.
But you still didn’t make a move in the end, right?
