Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 99 Daming Ordinary Old Man [Sixth More]

"Old man, how is the harvest in the field this year?"

In the early Ming Dynasty, in Renhe County, Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, Zhu Yuanzhang and his guards passed by a field ridge. When he saw an old farmer working in the field, he could not help but squat down and ask with a smile.

He said he came back to rest, but as a character who has to worry about everything, how can he really care about everything.

Seeing that there was no major event in the court, and there was still a prince in charge of the country, he took some officials directly out of Nanjing City.

After walking all the way, they have been walking for three months, and they have made a big circle. Now they are on their way back to Nanjing.

"The court is kind, God's eyes open, the past two years have been good weather and the harvest has been good. It is only in these few years of my life that I have really started to eat enough!" The old man's face was full of ravines. At that time, the wrinkles on his face were rippling, obviously he was really happy.

For this, Zhu Yuanzhang can naturally feel it.

So he was also very happy.

Sitting directly on the field ridge, he brought a gourd wine from the guard behind him and said with a smile, "The old man will take a break and then try again. Come and taste the rice wine made by our family, and by the way, let's ask you about the policies of the recent imperial court."

The old man hesitated for a while, and seeing that there were acquaintances in the surrounding fields, he smiled readily and walked over to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The two sat side by side on the field ridge.

The old man took a sip of rice wine, with a look of enjoyment on his face, and then said: "I don't understand the policy of the imperial court, I just think that these years are not as difficult as the previous years."

"Without the military disaster, there will be fewer bandits and bullies."

"Last year, our eldest son married a daughter-in-law, and the daughter of the old Li family in the next village has added a big fat grandson to us this year."

"We feel that this life is getting more and more exciting!"

"How many sons does the old man have?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"Two, the eldest son is doing farm work at home with us, and the second is restless. I heard that there is a soap workshop in the county, so I went to work."

"260 treasure bills a month, including food and housing!" The old man said quite proudly.

"That's good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also praised: "Whether farming or working are producers, scholars, farmers, businessmen, farmers and workers are all occupations that can truly contribute to the country and help the country's development."

"Without you people, how could our country develop well!"

"Why does this person speak in such a loud voice, is he an official?" The old man's face was a little suspicious.

To be honest, although he is in awe of the official, he is not afraid of it, because now Emperor Hongwu is in power, although the Ming Dynasty has just passed ten years.

But the era of unscrupulous officialdom and misbehavior has come to an end.

He has seen with his own eyes that several officials were arrested and beheaded because of corruption, accepting bribes, and scolding the people.

He is an honest and honest commoner, and naturally he will not be afraid of a passing official.

If this official dared to bully him, he would go to the censor's yamen to file a complaint.

Those censors go to the countryside every three days, and they publicize everywhere that they are personally appointed by Emperor Hongwu, who are responsible for corruption and bribery of officials, and rampant lawlessness.

They were also encouraged to sue officials.

I heard that there was a commoner in a neighboring county who went to the censor's yamen to sue the county magistrate.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the old man's eyes flickering, and knew that the old man who was looking at honestly was probably already guessing his identity.

Of course he didn't care either.

He smiled and continued to ask: "I heard that the imperial court recently set up a social school that allows children to study for free. How many people in our village go to social school?"

Hearing the words, the old man laughed immediately: "In the past two years, everyone has a little more money in their hands, and they are not lacking in the strength of their children. They all hope that the children will study and study well, so there are indeed many people who go to the social school to study."

"After all, I won't talk about the exam for the champion in the future. Even if I can pass the exam, it will be honorable and honorable!"

"When the old man and my grandson grow up, they will also be sent to study in social studies."

"My old man, how can I cultivate a seed of reading in my lifetime, or else I won't be able to rest my eyes when I die."

The expression on the old man's face was extremely serious when he said the last sentence.

"Hope you get your wish, brother!"

"In the future, the eldest grandson can go out and become a general!" Zhu Yuanzhang understood the old man's mind very well. After all, who doesn't want his descendants to be more capable than himself!

And to lower the threshold for reading in the Ming Dynasty, so that the poor people in the world can afford to read books and start learning, this is the fundamental purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of the social science system.

Sociology was proposed by Zhu Yuanzhang last year, and then quickly spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

It is institutionally run by the government and the private sector. The government is responsible for recruiting and paying teachers, and the responsibility of teaching is to recruit school-age children locally to study and study for free.

Even in order to make these teachers teach students seriously, Zhu Yuanzhang also asked the Ministry of Rites to formulate strict rules and regulations, such as setting indicators according to the actual local situation, how many children must be taught from social studies within three years, and if the goal cannot be achieved, then Can only wait to be expelled from the ranks of national civil servants!
After more than a year of development, today's sociology has been able to cover nearly [-]% of the country's villages and small towns. It will become the most basic enlightenment education institution in the Ming Dynasty, and will continue to provide county schools, prefectural schools, and Taoism schools. talent.

In the end, these talents will be gathered into the imperial court through the imperial examination and used by the imperial court.

Of course, that alone is not enough!
These are not very different from the original historical sociological system.

Zhu Yuanzhang basically copied it without any changes.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang has a broader vision, and educational institutions are fundamental to the country. Naturally, he is not satisfied with that.

It's just that the national strength is limited now, so we can only move out the social science system first.

In the future, when the national strength becomes stronger, he will continue to deepen the reform of educational institutions.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely set up a subject of martial arts in sociology in the future.

The future of the Ming Dynasty must be both civil and military.

But now is far from the time. There is a saying that the poor are rich in martial arts. If you want to practice martial arts, you need to eat a lot of meat, and you also need various medicated baths to supplement your body's deficit. This is not a poor family who has just met the problem of food and clothing. People can afford it.

"Hold on!"

"Da Ming is stronger day by day, there will always be that day!" he thought.

"Old man, I'll ask you again, is there anything wrong with your officials here..." Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

The two sat there chatting, chatting very speculatively, for nearly half an hour before they knew it.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the time was almost up, got up and left.

"Alas, your wine!" The old man shouted from behind.

"Give it to you, brother!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and waved his hand. With Jin Yiwei, he rode a fast horse and quickly disappeared at the end of the road.
