The three people in front of Su Jing, namely Zhu Biao, have received Su Jing's advanced education.
Although Su Jing and Zhu Biao never taught anything about human rights equality, nor did they talk about ideological enlightenment.
But after all, we are a modern person, and we are in a teacher-student relationship, so our thoughts will always have a subtle influence.
"Niu Yi, you are right. This is the truth. Once the vocational education system is established, it can better mobilize people's subjective initiative. In this way, the development of all walks of life can be faster. At the same time, the emperor will pay more attention to all walks of life. The control is clearer and clearer, and the staffing of various industries can be adjusted in a timely manner according to the current development of the country, which can be said to serve multiple purposes with one stone."
Su Jing nodded and followed Zhu Biao's words.
In the final analysis, it is better to choose which industry to engage in than to be forced to inherit the career of your father's generation.
"What Mr. Su said is absolutely true, and the students understand it."
Zhu Biao's eyes shone, already recognizing Su Jing's vocational education.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Su Jing, what do you mean by adjusting the staffing of various industries in a timely manner according to the current development of the country?"
Su Jing smiled and said: "Isn't this a very simple truth? For example, the Ming Dynasty now has to fight foreign wars all the time. There is a huge demand for both cold weapons and firearms. So after the establishment of the vocational education system, smelting and casting, that is, For careers in the blacksmithing field, enrollment can be expanded. If more students graduate, there will naturally be more blacksmiths."
"And if the world is settled, or the number of cold weapons or fire guns is sufficient, then the enrollment in the smelting and casting industry can be appropriately reduced. The number of final students will decrease, and the number of blacksmiths will gradually decrease. "
"Perhaps it cannot be seen in a short period of time, and the effect of a single emperor is not so obvious, but our Ming Dynasty will last for generations. The foundation laid by this first generation of emperors can create a good foundation for the next generation of emperors. This is not Is it a great thing that will benefit all generations?"
If you want to brainwash Zhu Yuanzhang, the best way is to tell him that this is a great thing for Zhu Biao.
Sure enough, after hearing Su Jing's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes began to shine.
There's something interesting about this!
"Su Jing, you didn't lie to me, did you? Is this really feasible?"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask. Although it was a question, the expression on his face said everything.
Su Jing affirmed: "Of course it is like this, and I just gave an example. This is true in all walks of life. After all, Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and there are many talents needed at each stage of development. For example, Ming Dynasty managers now There is a lot of demand, so we can set up public administration courses, such as this kind of course, only scholars of a certain level can learn to take charge."
Although it is suspected of deceiving Zhu Yuanzhang, Su Jing's words are not unreasonable.
The size of the Ming Dynasty was definitely that of a giant dynasty. Although it was still an agricultural society, the development of the handicraft industry had actually begun.
People from all walks of life also began to appear.
From the perspective of an emperor, it is quite necessary to rely on some effective means to control the number of employees in various industries.
"Well, Su Jing, you have spoken to my heart. Indeed, today's Ming Dynasty needs talents with management capabilities, not only in the capital, but also in various places."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said.
After all, it was only the third year after the founding of the country, and the Ming Dynasty was still in a state of prosperity, and Zhu Yuanzhang was merciless in killing officials. The number of officials killed in the two years combined has exceeded four figures.
This is also a considerable obstacle for Ming Dynasty, which is already in urgent need of talents.
Su Jing said calmly: "So, uncle, vocational education is not just for those who are traffickers and lackeys. It is also necessary even for those who have been awarded the title of Jinshi."
“This is a very important matter from top to bottom.”
Su Jing patiently persuaded, and Zhu Yuanzhang felt more and more that this matter was necessary.
"Uncle Ren Yuan, what you said is wrong!"
Song Lian spoke again and retorted directly: "The Jinshi named on the gold list are the most outstanding talents selected from countless scholars. They are the pillars of the country. How can they receive any vocational education?"
Su Jing's words touched Song Lian quite a bit.
Not moved, of course, but incomprehensible anger.
Who is the Jinshi nominated on the gold list? After thousands of candidates take part in the examination, there will only be three hundred.
This is already the most powerful talent selected by all the efforts of the whole country.
It's a joke that such a person needs to undergo vocational training!
Because Su Jing's previous description of vocational training had already made Song Lian think that vocational training was a system for training in lowly industries, he naturally could not accept scholars being included in it, let alone Jinshi who were named on the gold list.
Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded and said: "Su Jing, what Song Lian said makes sense. If you are an ordinary person, you can just accept vocational education. I don't think it is necessary for the Jinshi who are named on the gold list."
Although Lao Zhu has muddy legs, that's who he used to be, and now he can be regarded as reading poetry and books.
He also understands the value of a Jinshi who can be named on the gold list.
Su Jing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Song Lian, and said with a smile: "To have a Tao is to have a certain order of learning, and to specialize in skills. In today's imperial examination, is there a test on the art of distinguishing grains? Is there a test on the way of annotating water conservancy scriptures? Is there a test? How to calculate acres of land? These things may seem ordinary, but if you want to be an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, you must not understand them, right?"
"Or, Song Chengzhi, do you think those Jinshi who were named on the gold list understand this?"
Su Jing's words are very direct. In fact, these are also the practical abilities that Zhu Yuanzhang values most.
"Uncle Ren Yuan, these are just trivial things. Scholars should learn the essence of the sages, the words of the sages, and the ethics. Even if they become officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs in the future, there will be people under them who understand these things, and whether they understand it themselves or not, It’s not important to understand.”
Song Lian immediately refuted it, saying that it was a righteous speech and awe-inspiring.
It's a pity that Song Lian only knew a little about Zhu Yuanzhang, but not much.
Before Su Jing could speak, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Song Lian with a straight face and said: "Song Lian, what are you talking about? It doesn't matter whether you understand something or not? If you don't understand anything and just let your subordinates do it, then what? Wouldn’t it be that they were deceived and didn’t realize it? If officials who don’t distinguish between grains and animals go to do farm work according to certain seasons, wouldn’t it be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty?”
Lao Zhu was a little angry. He really didn't expect that Song Lian would have such thoughts.
If all the scholars in the world thought the same as Song Lian, then he would understand that Su Jing said that the Ming Dynasty's first imperial examination would definitely fail.
There is something wrong at the root, how can we not fail?
Even in the bet just made, Zhu Yuanzhang was basically certain that Song Lian would lose.
"Master, please calm down, Song Lian didn't mean that."
Song Lian immediately explained to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not accept this explanation, and just continued to say coldly: "Then what do you mean? Do you mean that to be a Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty, you only need to be able to read the books of sages? You don't need to learn other things? If you don't know anything, you can't Let your subordinates do it?”
Song Lian was directly spoken to by Zhu Yuanzhang and did not dare to reply.
This is not an argument with Su Jing. The person in front of him is Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang is angry.
"Song Lian, I know you are a master respected by scholars all over the world, but studying and writing articles and becoming an official of the Ming Dynasty are two different things. What the world needs is not officials who can only read!"
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to output: "You are still making a bet with Su Jing. I don't think you need to wait for any provincial examination. I will directly select a few bachelors from the Hanlin Academy to test you about grains and livestock. I am afraid you may not be able to answer. You have to come up!”
"Song Lian, it's in vain that you still accept the Imperial Academy's decree. Are you stupid by studying?"
This crazy diss can be described as hearty.
Even Su Jing, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but look sideways at Zhu Yuanzhang. Good guy, Lao Zhu's level of swearing is quite good.
Song Lian lowered his head and looked quite ugly.
However, in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's reprimand, he could only accept it.
"Okay, uncle, it's almost done. Song Chengzhi himself is engaged in writing work, and so is the Hanlin Academy. It's normal for them to do things like grain and livestock."
Su Jing persuaded him, if Zhu Yuanzhang continued to train him, Song Lian would be frightened and his liver and gallbladder would be broken by the scolding.
Old people still need to take a breather.
"snort."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and finally stopped.
Song Lian wiped the sweat from his forehead, still filled with fear.
He really didn't expect that his words could make Zhu Yuanzhang furious.
On the other hand, Su Jing has been firmly grasping Zhu Yuanzhang's psychology from the beginning of the conversation to now. Compared with Su Jing, she is really far behind.
"Song Chengzhi, you should agree with what uncle said."
Su Jing looked at Song Lian who was taking a breath and asked.
Song Lian was excited for a moment, then nodded immediately and said: "Of course I agree."
Zhu Yuanzhang just got angry, and Song Lian was not that stupid, insisting on getting into Zhu Yuanzhang's bad luck.
"good."
Su Jing nodded and said: "In that case, the matter is actually very simple. The Ming Dynasty is so big, even officials are divided into Zhongshu Province and Six Ministries to manage all aspects of the Ming Dynasty. However, there is no such thing in the sages' books. Overall, some things still need to keep pace with the times and continue to change.”
"Uncle, I think Niu Yi should have mentioned induction training to you."
On-the-job training was something Su Jing mentioned when she taught Zhu Biao a long time ago. Su Jing guessed that Zhu Biao probably told Zhu Yuanzhang about it.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Yes, I have thought about it carefully. This is indeed a very good suggestion. There is a difference between an official's daily work and studying. It is necessary to conduct on-the-job training before becoming an official."
This is not because Lao Zhu is following Su Jing's words here, but because he really has considerations.
Zhu Yuanzhang planned to popularize on-the-job training for the scholars selected in this imperial examination.
Su Jing said calmly: "On-the-job training is actually part of vocational education. From a certain perspective, officials are not a profession."
Officials are also a profession!
When Su Jing said these words, Zhu Yuanzhang and Song Lian were stunned.
For the first time, both of them were a little confused.
But then Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Yes, officials in the Ming Dynasty are actually a profession. They need to do their own jobs well, and they are no higher than farmers."
This was an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang. He had really been a peasant, and he had personally experienced how cruel officials persecuted peasants and how abominable they were!
He is really kind to farmers, and he is really harsh to officials.
Song Lian's face looked a little ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Su Jing continued: "Vocational education is a huge system. Ordinary people, their training is basic reading, literacy and vocational skills training. But for scholars, even Jinshi who have been awarded the gold medal, they need to learn , that is, the management ability, as well as the skills and knowledge that one must master for the official position, so that no matter what kind of person they are, they can benefit from vocational education."
At this moment, Su Jing has popularized vocational education and eliminated basic illiteracy.
In fact, this was not a good thing for ancient feudal rule.
Because eradicating illiteracy means the rise of ideas, and the rise of ideas means chaos.
After all, ignorant people are the best to manage.
However, under Su Jing's various rhetoric, Lao Zhu is not aware of this problem now.
Instead, Lao Zhu was immersed in the beautiful future scene described by Su Jing.
"It's interesting, Su Jing, the vocational education you mentioned is really not as simple as I thought."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, and he recognized this vocational education more and more in his heart.
Su Jing immediately struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Uncle, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty cannot only rely on the top officials. Only when the common people are strong, the Ming Dynasty will be strong, because the majority of the Ming Dynasty is the common people, and vocational education is to make the common people become Stronger."
"Even farmers, after receiving professional agricultural vocational education, can plant better and obtain better yields, which will enrich the treasury of Ming Dynasty and make Ming Dynasty richer and stronger!"
"If the people are strong, the Ming Dynasty will be strong! If the people are rich, the Ming Dynasty will be rich!"
Under Su Jing's output, Lao Zhu had no other thoughts in his mind except good.
Zhu Biao on the side was a little stunned, because why did these look so similar to the things Su Jing used when he was training employees at the paper mill?
Su Jing is training her father Zhu Yuanzhang as an employee!
The point is, it works really well.
However, this made Song Lian on the side become more and more impatient.
He was not brainwashed, because he still insisted on his initial view that this matter should not be done!
Although Song Lian has nothing to say.
