"Mr. Su! Mr. Su!"
Yang Siyi came to the Agricultural College and ran towards Su Jing quickly.
At this time, Su Jing was still supervising the work, because this was not a place to live, but a laboratory where Zhu Ru would conduct pea experiments, so Su Jing was particularly concerned.
Even if the results are known, it is still very important for Zhu Zhu to use his own efforts to discover and summarize the laws of inheritance.
Scientific research methods are used to summarize scientific laws.
This kind of Ming Mendel is the real Ming Mendel.
Su Jing was a little surprised by Yang Siyi's sudden arrival.
"Mr. Yang, please wait for a moment. I'll come back to you after I've ordered you."
Su Jing said something to Yang Siyi, and then started making arrangements for the craftsmen in charge of the scene.
After a while, Su Jing came to Yang Siyi.
"Mr. Su, I'm really sorry for disturbing you."
Yang Siyi said apologetically.
Su Jing immediately said: "Master Yang, don't worry, it's just an ordinary thing. But Master Yang, why are you in such a hurry?"
Su Jing had a very good impression of Yang Siyi, so she didn't feel any discomfort at being disturbed.
Yang Siyi immediately said: "On the matter of vocational education yesterday, Mr. Su reminded me that His Majesty may not agree with this matter, but I didn't care at all at the time. Now it seems that I was too self-righteous."
"Um?"
Su Jing was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Master Yang, has he already received discounts?"
Yang Siyi nodded and said: "Yes, but the result is just as you said, Mr. Su. Your Majesty got my discount back."
"Master Yang is so efficient."
Su Jing couldn't help but sigh. He really didn't expect that Yang Siyi would act so resolutely.
Yang Siyi looked a little embarrassed and said: "Unfortunately, I was too hasty and did not listen to Mr. Su's warning."
"What Mr. Yang said, it just shows that Mr. Yang is really for the Ming Dynasty. I admire this kind of spirit."
Su Jing immediately praised him, half flattering and half sincere.
Su Jing still likes such people in the workplace. She will do it if she thinks it is possible and communicate immediately if there is any problem.
Efficiency is really a very important thing, especially for such a huge national machine as Ming Dynasty.
If the court of the Ming Dynasty became the site of intrigue among hundreds of officials, the country would certainly not develop well.
Jiajing, a descendant of Lao Zhu, is a very good example. Although he firmly controlled the court, the top managers of the country fell into internal strife with each other, and the national power was rapidly consumed, causing the Ming Dynasty to continue to weaken. .
If Lao Zhu knew this, he would probably be able to lift the coffin board again after he died.
"Mr. Su, please tell me why His Majesty did not agree to such a thing that is beneficial to Ming Dynasty. He didn't even summon him. It should at least be discussed."
Yang Siyi asked with a puzzled look.
Ever since he got the discount, Yang Siyi has been thinking about it.
But after thinking for a long time, he didn't understand the reason for Zhu Yuanzhang's refusal.
Su Jing looked at Yang Siyi and said with a smile: "Master Yang, don't worry. Since you want to know why, you have to take a closer look at how much this vocational education has changed the Ming Dynasty."
Changes in Ming Dynasty?
Yang Siyi didn't understand at first. Didn't Su Jing let him think about this yesterday?
It was precisely because of yesterday's thinking that he was determined to promote vocational education.
"Mr. Su, I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I don't know exactly what you mean."
Yang Siyi answered directly.
Su Jing reminded again: "Yang Dare, vocational education is a positive stimulus for the Ming Dynasty, making all walks of life glow with new vitality, but once all walks of life become active, then for His Majesty, The number of farmers in the Ming Dynasty will naturally decrease. If there are fewer farmers, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty will be shaken, right?"
The core of vocational education is to provide sufficient reserve personnel for all walks of life. Compared with the previous Ming craftsmanship system, it will definitely bring about a reduction in the number of employees.
At the same time, the active industry also means the complex emergence of various personnel.
Su Jing still knows some of Lao Zhu's thoughts. It would be best if Ming Dynasty follows the path he has set now and continues for eternity.
The best way to achieve eternity is to fix it at the present moment, so that Ming Dynasty will always be the world of Lao Zhu's family.
It's a pity that the world is constantly advancing and developing, and there is only one eternal thing, and that is development.
Nothing left can last forever.
Of course, Su Jing would not tell Yang Siyi these things. If this was based on Yang Siyi's resolute character, it might be a trick.
Don't get Yang Siyi into trouble when the time comes.
"Is there a reduction in agricultural personnel?"
Yang Siyi thought about what Su Jing said, and the doubt on his face did not diminish. He said: "Mr. Su, more talents will appear in agriculture itself. By then, Ming's agricultural production should not be affected. It’s just too big an impact.”
As the Minister of Household Affairs, he was in charge of the national accounts of the Ming Dynasty.
After the promotion of sweet potatoes and potatoes, Yang Siyi has clear data on the increase in output.
Therefore, in his opinion, the reason given by Su Jing was not sufficient.
The number of farmers may decrease, but Ming's agricultural production should not be affected too much.
Because the development of agricultural science and technology has a very positive effect on agricultural production.
Sure enough, it's not that easy to fool.
Hearing Yang Siyi's answer, Su Jing couldn't help but sigh.
But tell Yang Siyi directly?
Did Zhu Yuanzhang think that vocational education would cause many unstable factors in Ming Dynasty, so he rejected it?
I'm afraid I have to talk about this myself.
"Master Yang, this matter is rather complicated. There is a contradiction between what His Majesty needs and what you provide. This is the fundamental reason for his refusal."
Su Jing said in a different way.
After all, Yang Siyi is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. After being an official for so many years, he can't be devoid of brains.
"What is your Majesty's need? What can I provide?"
Yang Siyi murmured, carefully considering Su Jing's words.
The role of vocational education is essentially to promote the development of all walks of life in Ming Dynasty. The changes brought about by the advancement of agricultural science and technology can already be seen.
Perhaps what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted was progress in agricultural science and technology.
Vocational education is too broad, and the development of some industries obviously does not meet Zhu Yuanzhang's needs.
"Thank you Mr. Su, I understand."
Yang Siyi bowed and thanked Su Jing. Now he had an idea.
"Okay, Mr. Yang, if that's the case, I won't say more."
Su Jing nodded. She didn't know how much Yang Siyi understood, but there was only so much she could say.
If he said more, I'm afraid it would hasten the same ending as Liu Bowen.
"Yang Siyi thanks Mr. Su again, so I won't bother Mr. Su anymore."
Yang Siyi bowed to Su Jing again before leaving the Agricultural College.
Su Jing looked at Yang Siyi's leaving figure and felt that this was a person who really wanted to do things.
Sure enough, in this huge Ming Dynasty, it is not without people as pure as Yang Siyi.
"Master Su, Yang Shangshu is here again. Is the matter of vocational education really worth his while? I have also heard about vocational education. The students thought that this might attract opposition from scholars all over the world."
Zhu Ru came to Su Jing's side and said.
Zhu Rui was not very interested in the vocational education discussed by Su Jing and Yang Siyi, and even felt that it had little chance of success.
Su Jing looked at Zhu Ji and said, "Niu Su, do you think the scholars in the world will object?"
"Yes, Master Su."
Zhu Tie nodded seriously, and under Su Jing's gaze, he explained: "Master Su, if we really implement this vocational education according to the ideas of you and Yang Shangshu, then the only people who will be educated will be scholars. Or at least someone who can read and write."
"Because this kind of education is not just vocational skills passed down by word of mouth, but requires continuous study and progress and the formation of systematic knowledge content. Such vocational education also has requirements for the trainees."
"But if they are literate people, then their first choice must be to take the imperial examination. After all, once they get on the list, they will jump over the dragon's gate."
"If you want these people to give up, they will have to study for many years at least, maybe when they are middle-aged or older. At this time, it will be too late for them to study vocational education."
"Then, if it is really to be implemented, it can only be implemented by the imperial court. If this is the case, how can scholars not object?"
Zhu Xi's detailed analysis is not unreasonable.
Su Jing nodded repeatedly after hearing this, but he was not too surprised because Zhu Rui was not at the level of an ordinary child.
"Yes, but what if it is not enforced? What if it is based on the improvement of the imperial examination system itself?"
Su Jing looked at Zhu Xi and said calmly.
Improvement of the imperial examination system?
When Zhu Yu heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he suddenly became curious.
"Master Su, how can we change the imperial examination system?"
Zhu Ru asked.
Su Jing shook her head and said: "Don't worry, Niu Su, you should prepare for the pea experiment first. When the laboratory is renovated, you will start the experiment. The experiment is not difficult, but it requires incomparable meticulousness." , you can’t let me down.”
Zhu Zhu immediately nodded and said: "Master Su, don't worry, the students will definitely live up to Master Su's expectations!"
Seeing Zhu Rui look so serious, Su Jing was quite satisfied.
The improvement of the imperial examination system was not that important to Zhu Ju.
"Niu Su, go back and talk to your father. I still have some ideas about this vocational education. If he has time, we can discuss it."
Su Jing said to Zhu Ji again.
He didn't have much hope for Yang Siyi's success.
If you want to convince Zhu Yuanzhang, you have to rely on yourself after all.
But if it weren't for Yang Siyi's persistence, Su Jing would not have the determination to do this.
"Yes, Master Su, the students will definitely bring him."
Zhu Ru nodded, a little surprised by this.
This was the first time that Su Jing took the initiative to find Zhu Yuanzhang.
…
soon.
Lao Zhu received another note from Yang Siyi. It was still a matter of vocational education, but this time it was slightly improved. He listed all the possible impacts and showed that these were only temporary problems.
And how to solve these problems and so on.
It can be said that the focus this time is much less on the content of vocational education itself than last time, and more on how to deal with actual problems that may arise.
Yang Siyi implemented Su Jing's teachings, thought about the problem from Zhu Yuanzhang's perspective, and helped him solve the problems caused by the promotion of vocational education.
Zhu Yuanzhang read it over and didn't reply, but he just put it in front of the case and had no intention of approving it.
Compared with vocational education, Zhu Yuanzhang is now more concerned about the imperial examination.
According to the original regulations, this year it should be a lower-level exam such as the provincial exam, and then next year it will be the big competition.
However, due to Su Jing's previous prediction that the first imperial examination in Ming Dynasty would end without any problem, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to hold the competition in advance.
That is to say, the four levels of examinations, namely the children's examination, the provincial examination, the general examination and the palace examination, are all completed within this year.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to believe Su Jing's prediction, there were so many previous examples that he could not help but not believe it.
Therefore, it is also good to finish it early, see the problems early, and then correct them early.
At this time, the children's examinations have begun in various places in the Ming Dynasty. Although the children's examinations are organized by local governments, the quotas and test papers for the children's examinations are generally not uploaded to the capital. However, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear to pay attention, so he would select some places. Let’s take a look at the test paper.
On the one hand, it is to look at the general level of each place, and on the other hand, it is to prevent local chaos.
If there was any injustice in the imperial examination, it would be a devastating blow to the entire Ming Dynasty.
The verbal criticism of scholars is no joke.
For these reasons, Zhu Yuanzhang put aside the vocational education proposed by Yang Siyi for the time being.
In the Fengxian Hall.
"Your Majesty, the King of Wu wishes to see you."
The eunuch's voice sounded.
Zhu Yuanzhang was handling government affairs. When he heard Zhu Xi asked for an audience, he stopped what he was doing and said, "Xuan."
Zhu Xi soon appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. He saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "My son, I pay homage to my father."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "Lao Wu, weren't you studying with Su Jing at the Agricultural College? Why did you come to me?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised by his son.
Su Jing praised Zhu Ju's intelligence endlessly.
However, what Zhu Yu was interested in was not what Zhu Yuanzhang expected.
How can a son who only likes playing with flowers and plants become the right-hand man of his own prince Zhu Biao in the future?
However, Zhu Yu is still young now, and Zhu Yuanzhang has no intention of forcibly interfering with him.
Let’s wait and see.
Zhu Ji replied: "Reporting to my father, I am here for Master Su."
Su Jing?
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "What happened to him?"
Now Zhu Yuanzhang is also a little annoyed with Su Jing. After such a long time, Su Jing is really a benevolent uncle. He is not willing to join the court as an official at all, and all the civil and military officials who have been dragged have different ideas.
Zhu Rui said: "Master Su said that if my father has time, he would discuss vocational education with him."
