Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 179 Zhang Juzheng's Day Trip to Hai Rui in the Early Ming Dynasty 【Seeking Monthly Pass】

"Taizu, I also want to go to the early Ming Dynasty."

"I beseech the great ancestor to be fulfilled." Waiting for Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui to leave.

Emperor Jiajing knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang with a plop, his face full of expectation.

"You can not!"

"You are an ordinary person now, and you must become an extraordinary person to enter the space passage to the main world."

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "By the way, we haven't asked you yet, aren't you a son of this world's plane? Don't you really have nothing but the Dragon Qi, which protects the imperial way?"

"Son of the Plane?" Emperor Jiajing was taken aback when he heard this.

"What does it mean?"

"I do not know!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him twice, and finally retracted his gaze and said: "In any case, you should not go, just stay with us honestly, just rest assured that what we promised you before will still work, and now the aura of the main world has reached the second level. Once recovered, there are more ways to prolong life, and there is no problem in ensuring that you live to be two hundred years old."

"Okay, then I will listen to Taizu!" Although Emperor Jiajing was a little unwilling, he knew Zhu Yuanzhang's character. Taizu had no patience for him. …

"Anyway, I just need to be careful and hold Taizu's thigh tightly." Emperor Jiajing thought firmly in his heart.

Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui once again set foot on the land of the main world.

They have actually been here before, especially Zhang Juzheng, who has been here two or three times due to work problems, but each time he was in a hurry and did not stay long.

And it has been two or three years since the last time I came.

Zhang Juzheng really didn't expect that the city of Nanjing in the main world would experience earth-shaking changes again just after two or three years of absence.

Especially the road under their feet, flat and wide, completely spotless, it feels cleaner than their home.

"Welcome to the two old gentlemen!"

Zhu Biao had already waited here one step ahead, and couldn't help but smile when he saw the two of them: "Both gentlemen, get in the car, the king has already ordered a family banquet, and I will clean up the dust for you first."

Because of his age, Zhu Biao is not only the prince now, but also was named King of Wu by Zhu Yuanzhang seven years ago.

You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang was called King Wu before he became emperor, so this throne is a very symbolic title in the Ming Empire.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang has expressed his willingness to abdicate the throne to Zhu Biao and himself to abdicate.

But Zhu Biao refused.

The emperor is not interested in anything at all.

It would be nice to be a prince and king of Wu now, or else when I become emperor, old Zhu Wanyi let go and take his mother and queen to visit the mountains and rivers, and throw the huge Ming dynasty to himself, then Isn't he going to cry to death.

That's fine now.

"His Royal Highness, His Majesty asked the two of us to come here this time to inspect the imperial examination system in the main plane. Why don't we talk about it first?" Hai Rui said.

He really cared about the tasks Zhu Yuanzhang entrusted to him.

This is especially true after learning about the effects of Nine Cauldrons.

More than anyone else, he hopes that Daming will be strong, so he is extremely impatient at this moment.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but glanced at Zhang Juzheng next to him, seeing that he also looked excited, then nodded and said: "Okay then, let's go directly to the school to have a look!"

Zhu Biao turned his head to look at the driver in front of him and said, "Go directly to the society school closest to here!"

The car was speeding on the road, Zhang Juzheng looked curiously at the scenery on both sides of the road outside, and finally he couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, what is this road paved with?"

"I don't think it looks like the cement road you mentioned last time."

"This is the asphalt road!"

"It's a new material discovered by the Academy of Sciences." Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"Didn't you say last time that the main world is getting bigger because of the recovery of spiritual energy?"

"In this way, won't the road be broken in a few years?"

"But I see that your road is so delicately built, isn't it a lot of work?" Zhang Juzheng asked curiously.

"That's true. Although some special supernatural minerals are added to this road to improve the extensibility, it can only be used for ten years at most."

"But it's okay, if it breaks, just fix it!"

Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Hai Rui frowned slightly.

He said directly: "Your Highness, isn't this a waste of money?"

"Hehe, it doesn't count!"

"Because we have already completely abolished labor. The road construction is all recruited workers, and they are all given precious money. In this way, there is no such thing as laboring the people. As for the loss of money... that is even more out of the question. The imperial treasury is very abundant. We have a large amount of surplus money in our hands, so we can return the money to the common people through the method of cash-for-work."

Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui immediately became thoughtful.

They are all smart people, and Confucianism and Taoism talents can also improve their intelligence level to a certain extent, so they will soon understand what Zhu Biao said.

"Is the main world really that rich?"

"In order to win the food war with the gentry, Your Majesty mobilized tens of millions of shi of rice to us in half a year. Is there really too much food in the main world?" Hai Rui also asked. asked curiously.

"You can say the same!"

"The Academy of Sciences has already researched chemical fertilizers ten years ago. With this thing, the production of food will naturally increase significantly."

"And the most important thing is the improved seeds. The Academy of Sciences has artificially bred improved varieties of various crops in recent years, especially the improved varieties that can increase the yield under the aura environment. There are already many."

"To tell you the truth, we now have a yield of [-] jin per mu of wheat, and [-] jin per mu of rice."

"This is an excellent variety that takes into account the taste. If it's just to fill the stomach, our wheat can reach a yield of [-] catties per mu."

"Hiss...!" Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui gasped involuntarily.

This kind of output seems to be a myth.

But they thought about it again, isn't the current main world just recovering from spiritual energy?
It is said that there are even gods in foreign lands other than Ming Dynasty in the main world, so the wheat that seems to be five thousand catties per mu is nothing!

"Of course it's meaningless to continue to increase the yield now. Our current research direction on wheat and rice is mainly on quality, and we want to research several kinds of spiritual rice and spiritual wheat with good yields."

"If this project is successful, it will not only greatly improve the physical fitness of ordinary people, but also increase the number of warriors." Zhu Biao explained with a smile.

"This is the effect of the double superposition of spiritual recovery and scientific and technological revolution!"

"I hope that after our world completes the industrial revolution, it can at least solve the problem of food and clothing for the common people like the main world." Hai Rui sighed, full of expectation.

In the current Jiajing Dynasty, because the gentry have been completely subdued by Zhu Yuanzhang, the most important thing in the past two years has shifted from political struggle to economic construction, or to carry out the industrial revolution with the assistance of the main world.

This was part of the reason why Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui were able to understand these new things in the main world.

"Don't worry, I will!" Zhu Biao couldn't help thinking of his previous life when he heard Hai Rui's words.

Now the main world has been completely changed due to the recovery of spiritual energy, but the Jiajing plane is different. It still looks like the earth, and there is no spiritual recovery there. It is possible to evolve into an environment he is familiar with in the future.

Deep down in Zhu Biao's heart, he still had a small expectation for this.

Soon the social school closest to them will arrive.

To the surprise of Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui, the sociology of the main world is not what they imagined, a dilapidated room, an old scholar who has failed many trials, and even an old boy who leads a group of young children to study randomly. He wrote the Four Books and Five Classics.

The area here is huge.

And it can be clearly seen that this place is newly built from the inside to the outside.

From the gate to the inside, there is a clean and tidy concrete road. As soon as you enter the yard, you can see a sun and moon battle flag fluttering in the wind.

This kind of scene arrangement made Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui have an indescribably strange feeling.

Under Zhu Biao's leadership, a group of three soon appeared outside a class.

Through the window, I could just see more than 30 children aged eight or nine were in class.

A sociology teacher in his 50s wrote two words on the blackboard, turned his head and said with a smile, "Students, this is what I want to teach you to write today."

"nation!"

"Does anyone know what a country means?" asked the old gentleman.

Many children shook their heads in doubt.

The old man smiled and said, "The word country is composed of two parts, one is country and the other is home."

"A country is actually a larger family, and countless families, big and small, make up our Ming Empire..."

"Students, you must remember that we have a country before we have a family, so what must we do when we grow up?"

"Serve the country...!" The childish voices of the children rang out in unison.

Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui couldn't help but tremble when they heard this.

In Confucian culture, family, country and world are emphasized, and its core idea is that there must be a family before the country, but the education here is turning him around.

This obviously deviates from the Confucianism and Taoism in their cognition.

And this is not what shocked them the most, what shocked them the most were these children.

Although immature, the uniform and immature childish voice shocked them the most.

"Perhaps this is called enlightenment!" After coming out of sociology, Zhang Juzheng finally recovered from his shock.

He pondered for a while, and then said: "Your Highness, I think the writing you teach is much simpler than Daming's original writing. Is this modified?"

"That's right!"

"The previous characters were too complicated. We didn't make use of popularization. We want children to be able to recognize and learn characters from an early age, so we simplified the characters as much as possible." Zhu Biao said.

"This proposal is too correct."

"I think this can be extended to our side!" Zhang Juzheng said.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing. I see that you divide the recruited students into classes according to age?"

"It also marked first grade, second grade, etc. What does that mean?" Hai Rui also asked next to him.

"Since we want to popularize education, we can no longer use the old methods!"

"This is elementary education. There are five grades in total. Now all children in the main plane are eight years old and are forced to enter the social school, study for five years, and then enter the county school for three years."

"These eight years are what we call compulsory education, and the state fully bears the tuition fees and teaches them for free."

"If you go further, you need to take an exam, and only those who pass the exam can continue to study..."

"In the end, wouldn't a group of students take the imperial examination every year?" Hai Rui keenly discovered the most important point.

You must know that according to normal, the imperial examination is held every three years.

"Yes?"

"Otherwise, do you think we would have so many scholars sent to you to take up various jobs?" Zhu Biao explained with a smile.

This educational reform has been going on for more than ten years.

It was Zhu Biao who made it with reference to the education system in his memory. Now there are two classes of students who have been taught by the new model and assigned to their respective jobs.

The ability it exhibited can be said to be quite excellent.

This also shows that this education system is suitable for the current Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that both Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui were frowning and looking deep in thought, Zhu Biao said, "Let's go, after reading the social studies, I'll take you to see the county schools and government schools, as well as the highest-level Imperial College." ...."

In fact, this is just a name change, corresponding to the elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university in the previous life.

Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words, and both nodded.

They are now really interested in this teaching mode in the main world, and they have a vague feeling that this system may really be much better than the current imperial examination system in their plane.

　Brothers, remember to vote for a guaranteed monthly pass!
