Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 337 Trip to Anyang (Part [-])
Gao Yushi wanted to keep Shuai Jiamo by his side to listen to him. His plan was well spread out, but there was not enough talent. It was very useful for him to have Shuai Jiamo, a talent with both mathematics and criminal names.

It's funny to say, although Xinzheng Gao's family is not a family of four generations and three lords, it has been developed since the generation of grandfather Gao Shangxian, not to mention the father's generation, especially the third uncle Gao Gong, whose disciples and old officials are all over the world. It shouldn't be impossible to find talent.

But the problem is that although there are many disciples under Gao Gongmen, almost all of them are in the officialdom.At the same time, their talents are not necessarily suitable for Gao Wushi's current needs, let alone Gao Wushi's age is too young, and his status is not enough to control these seniors, so they have a huge network, but it is difficult to use it.

Guarding Jinshan has no money to spend.

In fact, ever since Gao Yushi stood out with "Long Wen Whip Shadow" in the Prince's companion reading competition last time, and later tried his edge to save Feng Bao's face, and earned the title of "Xiaoge Lao" in private, Gao Gong's The disciples and old officials were all sure in their hearts that the master was going to pass on the mantle to Gao Yushi, and they were quite concerned about his every move. Even Wu Dui, who was already a high-ranking governor, did not dare to underestimate him.

However, that does not mean that they will treat Gao Yushi with a submissive attitude. On the contrary, their attitude towards Gao Yushi is generally to help and support him.

Gao Yushi himself is well aware of this point, these seniors can only be his support in the officialdom, but not partners in the industry, and he can only rely on his own way to develop his own industry.

Although the stalls have spread out a bit right now, it is only a foundation after all. You can also rely on the background of the Gao family to select people from the family. When these businesses are fully developed, and even enter more projects, the shortage of people will definitely become more serious. At that time, talents must be brought in.

People have no long-term plans, but they must have near-term worries. Since there will definitely be a talent gap, it is better to start planning now.

These days, people who study well must consider becoming an official first, and those who really fail the exam will look for other avenues. On the whole, the proportion of scholars in Ming Dynasty is not high, so it is very difficult to recruit talents. It's difficult.

Gao Wushi knew that Gao Gong had a plan after he took control of the Ministry of Officials, which was to increase the training and use of Juren, and now he has started to gradually advance.

This is a good idea in itself, and it was also a good policy of Gao Gong in the original history. Gao Yushi thinks that he can also recruit talents according to this idea. What about scholar?

Aren't there many failed talents in history who have done a lot of great things?It can be seen that at the level of a scholar, there should be a lot of treasures left over from the sea.

Shuai Jiamo accepted his invitation, but the case of Ding Sijuan from She County must be settled first, so he had to go back.

Gao Wushi just didn't know whether Shuai Jiamo understood what he hinted to him.If he understood it, he probably wouldn't be so stubborn and insist on discussing right and wrong with Wuxian.

This is sometimes the case with government. Whether it is fair or just, it is not the key. Right or wrong is not the decisive factor in handling a government affairs, only the pros and cons are.

Children only distinguish between right and wrong, adults only look at the pros and cons.

Well said, and ironic.

But there is no way to be highly pragmatic. The world is like this, and politics is even more so.This matter in Huizhou will definitely end up with nothing but mud.

A politician like Gao Gong would not be too entangled in which side of She County and the other five counties is the Olympiad champion.

But looking back, Shuai Jiamo is certainly a talent, and the Xiuning county magistrate seems to be very powerful. It can be seen that under the imperial examination system, it does not mean that there will be no capable talents, but the current social situation is such that everyone is fighting for one. With a single-plank bridge, no matter how excellent a talent is, if he becomes an official with all his heart, he will not be able to develop other aspects.

So this is a social problem, not a simple problem of the imperial examination system, and the solution is definitely not to abolish the imperial examination—isn’t the civil service examination in later generations also a disguised imperial examination?It can be seen that the problem is not the exam, but what is tested and the weight of these items in the entire exam.

Gao Yushi remembers watching the World Cup with his cousin once, and he said with emotion: "Our country's football youth training system is too poor, when will we catch up with others!"

In the end, his cousin laughed and said, "Actually, it's really simple—extra points for football in the college entrance examination, with a maximum of 100 points. After ten years, Chinese football will be invincible in the world."

After Gao Wushi was dumbfounded, he felt that although this was a joke, it was not unreasonable.

Imagine if other subjects could be added to Ming Dynasty’s imperial examinations, even if the score ratio was a little lower at the beginning, wouldn’t it be possible to guide scholars of this era to pay attention to other studies?
Even if at the beginning, the reform can only be carried out so that the Four Books and Five Classics account for [-] points, and mathematics and physics each receive [-] points, with the population base of Ming Dynasty, there will be many more talents in mathematics and physics.Such a subtle influence, gradually adding other subjects, and gradually adjusting the proportion of scores in each subject, wouldn't it be a big deal?

The real problem, on the contrary, is the first step, how to add other disciplines to the current imperial examination system-those rotten scholars are absolutely unwilling to agree easily.

But as long as it can be added, no matter how low the score ratio is at the beginning, it is not a problem.

For this matter, he has a plan, but it is only a general idea, without refinement - at his current age and status, it is useless to refine it. What's the point of planning too detailed now?
One's own examination is the basic prerequisite for becoming an official. This is for sure. Gao Yushi has never relaxed his studies, and part of the reason for coming to Anyang this time is to serve this purpose.

But he doesn't intend to be a follower, and his whole mind is to get promoted and make a living. He also has to develop some industries. Making money is one of the aspects, but more importantly, he uses his own industry to set an example for the world—to make money. Investing money in business and industry is far more meaningful than investing in land.

If the people of Ming Dynasty will only stare at the few acres of land forever, they will be overtaken by the Westerners sooner or later, there is no reason at all.

But Gao Wushi thinks that there is no need to be reasonable, and people in the Ming Dynasty may not be able to see through it. Even if there are very few people who can see through it, it may be useless for him to see through it—there is no place to invest spare money!After going around, he may feel that buying the land is the safest option.

Therefore, Gao Pragmatism needs his own industry, not for the sake of being rich and debauched, nor for the purpose of secretly planting power and having unruly intentions. His fundamental starting point is "take me as an example, and eat meat with me."

As for personal enjoyment, he did not refuse, but after all, it was just a matter of passing, not the main starting point.

For a time traveler with such a good family background, it would be too much of a loss if he only focused on personal enjoyment.

As for the wrong intentions... just in case, in the future, things will get out of my control, and if the superiors insist on killing me—let’s talk about it.

After all, I am not Yue Wumu, so I am determined not to go to the Fengbo Pavilion.

　Before, a reader said that he didn’t like seeing chapter titles like one, two, three, and four, but I found it a bit troublesome to have titles for each of the small chapters. It’s convenient to have one title for a small event, and it’s easy to have a few separate titles for the transitional chapters in the middle. about there.
