The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he actually felt a little bit moved.

But he still asked: "Da Sun has thought about it, if there are too many officials, it may not be able to really handle the affairs of the common people well."

"For example, for a very simple matter, one person can be responsible for it, but now suddenly several people are in charge of the same matter. If one of them is unwilling, then this matter will inevitably cause delays."

"Besides, there are more people, and there will be more people who are afraid of taking responsibility. Many people will shirk this matter on others."

"For the common people, the regulations will become more complicated. Things that can be solved by one yamen may not be solved if they have to travel to several yamen."

Zhu Yuanzhang put forward his own ideas.

Zhu Ying found that the old man was really sharp, and hit the nail on the head right away.

This kind of lazy government behavior is the most common and common behavior in later generations.

Zhu Ying replied: "What Grandpa said is a possible problem, but you can't stop doing it just because there is a problem."

"There is no complete system, and the current system also has many flaws. The system designed by Suner generally has more advantages than disadvantages."

"Refinement and regulation of the government affairs that officials are currently responsible for, to a large extent, is equivalent to diluting the power of officials."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked; "Then tell me, how to make it detailed."

Zhu Yuanzhang became interested, not that he recognized Dasun's ideas very much, but that this sentence diluted the power of officials, which hit Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

For officials, or most of them, Zhu Yuanzhang has a serious lack of favor, whether they are court or local.

He always felt that most of the officials were like moths, constantly gnawing on the Ming Dynasty.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did not show any mercy when he killed corrupt officials.

Zhu Ying thought for a while before replying: "Take the Ministry of Rites as an example. Currently, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of a lot of affairs, but there is a huge difference in personnel."

"For example, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the Department of Cleaning Officials controls our Ming Dynasty's diplomatic affairs. However, now there are more than a dozen permanent foreign envoys in our Dali Temple. Now our Ming Dynasty's shipping is prosperous, and all nations come to Ming. In terms of diplomatic matters, the Ministry of Rites The host-guest clean-up department is only presided over by six people."

"If there is a matter of sending envoys, the court needs to arrange additional personnel. The language, communication, customs and other issues involved in this will have to start from scratch."

"Sun'er feels that all countries are involved now, and it will be extremely important in diplomatic matters in the future. Therefore, diplomatic matters can be listed separately. Each country has special personnel to connect with each other, so as to keep abreast of the news of the subordinate countries, and the contacts of other countries. none."

"Nowadays, education is the most important thing for my Ming Dynasty. The future development of my Ming Dynasty is based on the foundation of talents. If my Ming Dynasty has enough talents, it will definitely be able to flourish in all walks of life."

"It's also like the taxation, household registration, salary, land, etc. of the Ministry of Households, which are all in charge of the Ministry of Households. It is particularly difficult to investigate any corruption."

"These responsible matters can be completely split up, and a separate department will be established, followed by a general manager."

"After such refinement, the power of the six ministries will be greatly diluted, and each ministries will do their own thing. If there is no shirk, there will be no worries about the prime minister. The imperial power of our Ming Dynasty will be concentrated to a higher degree, and future generations will not have to go. Worried about the occurrence of power ministers."

Zhu Yuanzhang himself is very good at the system. After listening to Dasun's words, he immediately felt that the feasibility was very high.

This is equivalent to reforming the law, and it is still Dafa.

"The implementation of this matter will turmoil the government and the public. Don't make drastic moves, but take it slowly."

"The selection of personnel is also a problem. The framework cannot be set up, and all of them are vacant."

"We think it can be done step by step. Grandson, you first select the person, and if there is a suitable one, divide the responsibilities, and then establish the general affairs of the yamen, try your best not to waste people and money, and shake the foundation."

Since ancient times, the reform has always been bloody, and Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't think there is too much resistance to the reform.

In the current Ming Dynasty, there is nothing that can hinder the grandparents and grandsons.

If there are those who are disobedient, just drag them out and chop them up.

During the discussion between the grandfather and grandson, this matter was decided directly.

This is the benefit of imperial power, there is no need to care too much about other people's opinions, just do what you say.

Zhu Ying was approved by the old man, and she felt relieved.

In fact, Zhu Ying was a little unsure whether it was reliable to move the system of later generations to the current Ming Dynasty, but it always feels better than the current Daming official system.

The current government officials are responsible for too many complicated government affairs. Firstly, they have too much power, and secondly, they are entangled in affairs. If they are not great talents, they can't handle many things well.

Facts have proved that as long as you are not completely illiterate, you don't need too much knowledge to do well in being an official.

As long as you really serve the people in your heart, you will generally not be far behind.

Hanlin Academy.

This used to be the most yearned-for place for scholars all over the world, but now with the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy, which is more prosperous because of reason, seems a bit desolate.

"Since the grandson's intervention in the imperial court, our Hanlin Academy has been paid less and less attention. Now there are not many bachelors, so we can enter the official career through this."

"Who says it's not? The Ministry of Officials has undergone the Taisun's reform and no longer invites officials from the Imperial Academy. Now that I want to become an official and focus on training at the grassroots level, we are already old. With our bones, how can we go to the countryside?"

"No matter what you do, you should be content, at least if you take office in this Hanlin Academy, the imperial court will give you a lot of salary, and your life is much more comfortable than before."

"Hey, I've been studying hard for dozens of years in the cold window, and it's just for a few mouthfuls of food. It's hard to realize my ambitions. I just write books and write history every day. It's really... Sigh."

"The great-grandson's political reform, and now the Imperial Academy, where talents are raised and hoped for, is already like a chicken rib. It's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to discard it!"

In the lobby of the Hanlin Academy, more than a dozen Hanlins gathered to discuss, and all lamented the loss of the present.

It turns out that the Hanlin Academy has a high status, even if the ministers of various ministries have met, they should be polite.

Because the Hanlin Bachelor is not only committed to the inheritance of cultural and academic undertakings, but also actively participates in politics and discusses government affairs.

In addition to compiling books and writing history, drafting imperial edicts, reading for members of the royal family, serving as examiners of imperial examinations and many other things, the status is noble, and it is extremely easy to become an important minister of the court.

But now, first of all, the officials.

Except for the appointment of the imperial power, the current officials must start from the grassroots in accordance with the new rules.

Even if he is the number one scholar in this subject, he has to go to the local area to train first. If he is not a chief official, he has to start from the county magistrate.

With political achievements and two years of red line, the Ministry of Officials can take the school examination and be promoted again.

The way to directly transition from the Hanlin Academy to the imperial court is now locked.

This also led to the continuous decline of the status of the Hanlin Academy.

One of the most critical is to offer advice and suggestions.

In the past, the academicians of the Imperial Academy could discuss matters at court meetings and put forward their own political advice. As long as they were approved by His Majesty, it would be easy for them to become officials.

Now the court meeting is held every three days, and the grandson has delegated power, and many matters are resolved by the ministries themselves. Only matters that cannot be resolved are discussed by the court.

How can there be so many unsolvable things, whoever can't solve them now will have to bear the responsibility and affect the promotion of political achievements.

Once it is raised at the court meeting, the first thing to face is His Majesty's reprimand.

Among other things, an incompetent reputation fell down.

As for impeachment, it is not enough to just open your mouth now.

Talking nonsense is a crime of slander.

The statute of impeachment requires sufficient evidence, and then it is submitted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for review, and finally to His Majesty.

"If you can't become an official, isn't knowledge useless to you and others?"

A slightly muffled voice came from the outside into the lobby.

Everyone looked slightly angry, and then suddenly changed back.

That familiar voice let them know who it was.

With the slow sound of footsteps, an old man came over.

"Elder Liu."

"teacher."

"Mr. Sanwu."

When everyone saw Liu Sanwu, they all bowed and saluted.

Liu Sanwu snorted coldly, and walked directly towards the middle seat.

It was always empty there, although the lobby was a little crowded, but no one was sitting there.

After sitting down, Liu Sanwu reprimanded him: "Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money. Look at each of you, what has become of you now."

"The Imperial Academy is a place for learning. If the imperial court has no arrangements for the time being, do your own learning well. When you have the opportunity, you will naturally be able to serve the country better and work hard for the people."

Hearing this reprimand, everyone bowed their heads in shame.

Seeing everyone's awakening, Liu Sanwu nodded in satisfaction, took a sip from the teacup, and then said in a leisurely manner: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness called the old man to Kunning Palace, and talked about the education of the Ming Dynasty. question."

"In Hongwu's 31-year scientific examination, the restriction on scholarly fame was abolished, and according to the standard answer test papers, according to statistics, more than [-] people have passed the exam with first-class scores and have been awarded scholarly fame."

Hearing this, everyone was noncommittal.

They were in charge of the imperial examinations, so they naturally knew that there were 30 scholars, but they didn't take it seriously.

Because this scholar is too watery, the questions on the examination papers, in the eyes of the academicians of the Imperial Academy, are really simple.

The four books and five classics in the examination paper have been greatly reduced, and even the most important policy theory has been greatly reduced, and arithmetic problems have been added instead.

The key point is that without the privilege of being a scholar, it is tantamount to abolishing the title of scholar.

Liu Sanwu didn't care, and continued: "Most of these scholars are going to work in the yamen. It's just that their standards still need to be improved, but being an official will naturally not have much impact."

"In order to better improve their knowledge and achieve the level of serving the country, His Royal Highness Taisun pointed out that they need to further deepen their cultivation and put forward the idea of ​​​​establishing a university."

"The so-called university is a school like the Imperial College, but it only recruits talents. The semester is three years, and it is divided into majors."

Hearing the professional direction, everyone was a little confused.

The next scholar asked: "Teacher, what is the professional direction?"

Liu Sanwu glanced at his apprentice and explained: "Human energy is limited, and it would take half a lifetime for ordinary people to learn one. The so-called single-mindedness and precision, now the imperial court needs more meticulous talents."

"Such as laws, shipbuilding, firearms, commerce, diplomacy, residence newspapers, history writing, etc."

"After the students graduate from university, they can enter the corresponding yamen to serve the country."

"Opening a university and disseminating knowledge are what His Royal Highness attaches great importance to today. Tomorrow, the Ministry of Education will be established in the court meeting. He is old and not talented, so His Royal Highness values ​​it. He is the first minister of the Ministry of Education, in charge of the schools in the Ming Dynasty, and educates many people. matter."

Speaking of this, Liu Sanwu's cloudy eyes suddenly became brighter.

When he was called into the palace by his grandson yesterday, he was still a little uneasy.

Later, when I heard about the establishment of the Ministry of Education, my heart, which had been silent for a long time, beat a little violently.

Liu Sanwu is already eighty-seven this year.

In the past few years, after the grandson came to power, Liu Sanwu saw the gradual prosperity of Ming Dynasty, and felt that he could not keep up with the times.

Begging for bones was rejected by His Majesty again, so he stayed in the capital all the time.

Taking walks and reading books on weekdays, my mentality gradually stabilized.

But he didn't expect that at this moment when he was about to enter the earth, he could still get the important task of grandson.

"Congratulations Liu Shangshu."

Many Hanlin scholars were in high spirits when they heard the words.

The word education can be understood as soon as you hear it.

Now it has become a separate department, just like the seventh department out of the six. When the staff is scarce, they all have the opportunity to become officials.

Obviously, Liu Sanwu came here today to recruit people.

"I'm happy with you. Now that there is a lack of people in the ministry and the charter has not been established, all of you are willing to serve the court with me." Liu Sanwu asked with a smile.

Everyone was overjoyed and said: "I would like to serve the imperial court."

In addition to the Ministry of Education, Zhu Ying also established the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

As for the minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhu Ying chose Zhou Rongliang.

Zhou Rongliang was also the Ming envoy who went to Samarkand and was detained by Timur.

Later, the Ottoman Empire went to war with Timur, and apart from the Ottoman envoys, Zhou Rongliang was also released.

Zhou Rongliang had never seen Zhu Ying before.

After checking the household registration documents, I realized that this person is good at multiple languages, and he is upright and strong.

Moreover, when Timur came back as an envoy, he added a lot of rich experience.

Timur is the only one who can be compared with Daming today. It is obviously a good choice for him to be Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

At the DPRK meeting the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang directly announced the establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Education.

Liu Sanwu was appointed as the first minister of the Ministry of Education.

Appoint Zhou Rongliang as the first minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Although it was a bit abrupt, the courtiers had nothing to say.

The court system is Zhu Yuanzhang's one-word hall. Now that there are two more ministers, it seems that there is no difference.

But officials with keen political sense have already noticed the difference.

But more people care about the new official positions.

Below the Shangshu, there are left and right servants, Yuanwailang, stewards, masters and so on.

This is only in the court, and the local government must also open yamen, which means a large number of official positions.
