"Xu Youzhen, please compile a detailed record of Ming Dynasty official learning for me. I want to take a look." After Zhu Jianshen finished speaking to Jiang Yuan, he turned to Xu Youzhen and said.

Xu Youzhen stood up quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"You go down and tidy up first, and I'll talk to Jiang Shangshu some more." Zhu Jianshen said softly.

After Xu Youzhen heard this, he glanced at Jiang Yuan. Although he felt uncomfortable, his face remained as usual: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will leave first."

Zhu Jianshen didn't respond and just nodded.

Then Xu Youzhen turned around and walked outside.

As soon as she turned around, Xu Youzhen put on a mask of pain on her face.

His Majesty wanted to chat with Jiang Yuan alone and asked him to leave first. He had never experienced such treatment.

No, after I go down, I have to work hard and rely on my strength to let His Majesty leave this matter to me and snatch the Holy Favor from this bad old man Jiang Yuan.

After Xu Youzhen left, Zhu Jianshen chatted a lot with Jiang Yuan.

Although Zhu Jianshen had new ideas at this time.

However, the plan to create an official newspaper has not completely disappeared. Since it is difficult and impractical to promote it nationwide, we can start from the two capitals first.

When the acceptance of official newspapers in Nanjing City and Beijing City is high, they can start to implement official newspapers in various local and state capitals, and then slowly extend downwards.

Because the establishment of an official dialogue window is very important to Zhu Jianshen.

Regarding His Majesty the Emperor's idea of ​​launching official newspapers in the two capitals, Jiang Yuan did not reject it too much this time. This was considered the first concession by His Majesty the Emperor.

Half an hour later, after Jiang Yuan left the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Bao, who went down to arrange things, also came back and gave Zhu Jianshen a copy of the memorials from Shi Heng and Han Yong.

The Battle of Annan that Zhu Jianshen had been thinking about had officially begun.

Zhu Jianshen saw the Ming army's preparations from Han Yong's memorial.

Guangxi and Guangdong provinces have gathered more than 30,000 soldiers who are good at jungle warfare, Yunnan and Sichuan have more than 50,000 soldiers who are good at jungle warfare, and more than 10,000 chieftain assistants. Together with Shi Heng's headquarters, the total is 100,000 troops, and the rest Later, the military supplies and grains were continuously transported to Zhennanguan. More than 200,000 civilians were recruited from various places, and civilian ships were used to transport the military grains and grasses from the traditional land. A small part of them was transferred by sea transportation and directly transported to Jing'an. , alleviating the pressure on land supply.

And Shi Heng's memorial is the route of march and the idea of ​​how to fight.

The 100,000-strong army was divided into three groups. The left group of more than 20,000 troops, led by Mu Zan, left Zhennan Pass, marched westward to Xuanhua, and conquered Taiyuan.

Zhongru's army of more than 60,000 men, led by Shi Heng, marched into Xin'an and overwhelmed Jiaozhou.

The right-wing army of more than 20,000 people, led by Wang Tong, attacked Jing'an, eradicated the eastern barrier of Xin'an, Jiaozhou, and obtained a natural seaport to receive grain, grass, and military supplies. The army of 20,000 people was stationed in Jing'an for a long time.

The strategy adopted was the same as that of the British Duke Zhang Fu, proceeding step by step and slowly. In addition to dealing with the main force, he also had to deal with small groups of combat troops. In addition to the changes in the conventional march route, everything else was It's scripted.

To put it bluntly, Shi Heng himself was still a little unconfident about this kind of war to destroy the country.

However, his cruelty was even worse than that of the deceased British Duke Zhang Fu. This was also one of his advantages. Wherever the army went, no matter old, weak, women, children or young adults, all were killed, leaving the people of northern Annan They panicked and went south one after another, not daring to respond to the response of the Li Dynasty bureaucrats. They stayed in their hometown and did their best for the country. This could also obtain a relatively stable Annan rear in the fastest time.

The soldiers of the Ming Army were not merciful at all when they killed people in Annan. The biggest reason was that tens of thousands of Ming Army soldiers were buried on this land. The war was very cruel. Ordinary soldiers had no choice. Once they were merciful, they would Sound your own death knell.

The most important city in Annan was clearly understood during the 20 years of the Meiji period. They even knew it better than the emperor in Jiaozhou City.

Jiaozhou is Hanoi, Longcheng, and the Tokyo city of the Le Dynasty. Thanh Hoa city below is the Xijing city, which is also a two-capital system.

After reading these two memorials, Zhu Jianshen said softly: "I hope that in five years the king will be able to pacify Annan."

"Don't worry, your majesty. Your majesty is a model of the Ming Dynasty. He has secured Liaodong, pacified the Jurchens, and settled North Korea. The national destiny is prosperous. The morale of our army is also at its peak. The Marquis of Wuyang is brave and good at fighting, Han Shangshu is strategizing, and the soldiers along the border are all the elites of the Ming Dynasty. , this battle in Annan is destined to be a great victory." Zhang Bao said quickly.

Zhu Jianshen glanced at Zhang Bao and said: "I asked Peng Shi to write a petition for peace, and you will read it out at the court meeting tomorrow, and then write an imperial edict for me. For the soldiers who died in the battle of Annan, the pension standard will be increased by 30%. The places where soldiers are recruited are the three prefectures of Guangxi, the three prefectures of Yunnan, the six counties of Guangdong, and the two prefectures of Sichuan, and they are exempted from taxes and corvee for three years."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Jianshen closed his eyes and thought carefully.

The trajectory of history has undergone earth-shaking changes since Cao Jixiang discovered the American continent and Zhu Yi orbited the earth.

Annan's geographical location is too important. Even if it pays a corresponding price, it can win many seaports and land for future generations, and even define the South China Sea as China's inland sea. No matter what this generation pays, it is worth it.

At this time, policies to stimulate fertility will also begin to be launched.

There is strength in numbers.

Especially when a nation wants to acquire more habitat, what it needs is people.

In fact, before Shi Heng decided to attack, Emperor Le Nguy Min of the Le Dynasty had made various efforts to avoid the onset of war.

First, he sent a high-level mission to Zhennanguan, saying that he could provide detailed information on the registered population, and even voluntarily downgrade from a vassal state to a dependent territory. After this memorial arrived in the capital, Zhu Jianshen just replied to Shi Heng and Han Yong, Everything went according to the original plan.

We have been preparing for this for two years. If we don’t fight, won’t it become a joke?

After getting no response from Zhennanguan, Li Yimin asked his younger brother Li Sicheng, who was also Li Taizong's fourth son, to bring gifts and go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, hoping to end this situation that he did not have through the intervention of the Ming Dynasty's top officials. Be prepared for war.

However, the mission led by Li Sicheng had just arrived in Guangxi. After meeting Han Yong, Shi Heng began to march, and Han Yong also detained Li Sicheng's mission.

After going down, Xu Youzhen began to convene officials from the Ministry of Rites to collect materials for the official school. It took three hours to complete most of them. Then he began to visit some officials who had studied in the county school and asked.

In the evening, Xu Youzhen took the things she had packed and headed to Qianqing Palace.

In Xu Youzhen's dictionary, today's work is done today, not to mention doing secretarial work for His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhu Jianshen in the Qianqing Palace was a little surprised when he saw how quickly Xu Youzhen did it. He looked at it with Xu Youzhen trying to cope with himself.

From this look, we knew that Xu Youzhen had put in real effort. ,

There are detailed records of county schools and private schools in the Ming Dynasty.

The establishment of official schools was carried out during the Hongwu period, but it only stopped at county schools and did not involve the people living in the countryside.

And this official school, to put it bluntly, has developed over time and has become a place that provides benefits to local privileged organizations. Unless you are really a genius, you will not be able to get in at all.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Emperor Taizu Gao established the school.

The Imperial College is a university, the county school is a middle school, and the social studies are similar to elementary schools.

Because of the brutal rule of Mongolia and the impact of several years of war, the newly established Ming Dynasty faced an embarrassing situation in selecting scholars. Everyone was illiterate, so how could they carry out construction.

Eliminating illiteracy has become a top priority.

Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang defined the creation of county schools as: "the most urgent task, which must be carried out as soon as possible".

Half a month later, Emperor Taizu Gao issued an edict to the whole country on the establishment of prefectures, prefectures, and counties.

Fu, prefecture, and county schools are a type of government-run secondary schools established at the locations of prefecture, prefecture, and county yamen across the country.

There are currently 182 traditional government offices, 283 prefectures, and 1,236 counties in the mainland.

In the early Ming Dynasty, there were more than 1,800 schools in prefectures, prefectures, and counties across the country.

Prefecture, prefecture and county schools recruit students once a year. There are two major sources of candidates: one is "the handsome folk, talented and wealthy", the other is "the children of noble officials." In principle, the children of sixth-grade officials can enter directly. From here It can be seen that this officially established school has nothing to do with ordinary farm children, let alone the highest academic institution, the Imperial College.

The 1,800 colleges can only admit more than 60,000 students each year, which is the quota set by Emperor Taizu Gao himself.

There are 40 students from the government, 30 students from the state, and 20 students from the county.

At first glance, 60,000 students seems to be a lot, but when compared with the national population of school-age people, it seems a bit insignificant.

Moreover, after development, those who are talented and need to go to official schools cannot go to official schools. People who can receive a good education without going to official schools are all taking courses in official schools.

Simply because of Ming Dynasty's various preferential treatment, it not only gave the official school students a kind of political affirmation, but also gave them practical benefits.

These students began to enjoy the preferential treatment given by the Ming Dynasty court from the beginning of their schooling. They were called "Linshan students". Every month, the corresponding academic administration yamen would give them a subsidy of "six dou of rice" and provide them with free food. With "fish and meat" meal discounts, these students also enjoy the privilege of being exempted from military service and can avoid their families being forced to work as "second-class workers".

It doesn't matter. In order to change the fate of their children, people who are living a decent life will send these children to private schools to learn and read, but they are only a small number, and the teachers in private schools are also people who have attended private schools. , their level is not high, and the children they teach cannot be compared with those from county schools.

To put it bluntly, all the ascending channels in the Ming Dynasty are blocked now. It is true that a noble son comes from a poor family, but the first condition is that you must be from a poor family and your ancestors have been rich.

Although Zhu Jianshen wanted to create a Ming Dynasty social system in which a hundred schools of thought contended, so that the number one scholar in the 360 ​​trades would become the definition of success in the hearts of ordinary people.

But he also knew that this was an extremely long process, and even if he lived towards a hundred lives, he would not be able to see this change.

He can only influence it in a subtle way, such as increasing the height and treatment of craftsmen, such as lifting some restrictions on businessmen, and ordinary farming people must spare no effort to establish their confidence that they are the foundation of the world, and slowly reduce the pressure of scholar-bureaucrats. Influence.

Even in their last life, the world had changed, and everyone believed in their hearts that 360 Xingxing was the number one scholar, but their bodies were very full, and their annual salary of one million was not as good as their monthly income of six Thousands of iron rice bowls.

Everything is of low quality, only good education is the seed buried deep in the hearts of all people. Going ashore to take the public examination is also the expectation of the people for their children.

There is nothing wrong with this. Of course, on the other hand, it is not sad. Five thousand years of inheritance have allowed all people to know the importance of stability...

Xu Youzhen looked at His Majesty's face, which was sometimes gentle and sometimes solemn. At that moment, she felt unsure in her heart. Could it be that His Majesty felt that the information he had collected was wrong?
