Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 204 Worry
Wen Tiren went out and said: "I deeply agree with the Holy Majesty's move to support the world's scholars! The Holy Majesty's move is the first of its kind in history, and it is more brilliant than Taizu's selection of officials from the supervisors in the early days of the country! Veteran dare to say that this policy will be for the people. Great Ming has laid the foundation for the inheritance of all ages! I congratulate you for the sage, and congratulate you for the great Ming!"

Wang Yingxiong and Zhang Zhifa both secretly despised: the older they are, the more shameless they become!In the past, the words of flattery could be restrained and reserved, but now she just blatantly brags about it!Isn't it because of greed for power that you speak insincerely?Isn't it because your son is not angry, is it that the emperor is so flattering now that he has given him a way out?

Wang Yingxiong came out and said: "Although the words of the first assistant are a little too much, they are also reasonable. I believe that once this policy is implemented, the candidates who have to go home and wait for three years will be extremely happy! Your Majesty is truly benevolent. The king! I admire you so much!"

There are two daughters and one son in his family. The youngest son is still in the prime of his life, and he will not know what will happen in the future. He didn't benefit from it this time, so he just complimented him perfunctorily and finished.

Zhang Zhifa said: "I also feel that this move is very clever. It can not only reassure the hearts of scholars in the world, but also select materials for the court to use, so that the talents will not be left behind. I respect you!"

Li Banghua, the censor of Zuodu, went out and said: "Although there are precedents for the promotion of sons and supervisors, the number of officials has always been very small. I fear that after this policy is implemented, the number of officials will increase sharply. The disaster of redundant officials in the former Song Dynasty is imminent. In front of you, I hope the Holy One will think twice!"

Shi Bangyao, the censor of the right capital, said: "Xiantai's words are very true! The redundant officials in the former Song Dynasty caused a heavy burden on the people; for more than two hundred years in our dynasty, the number of official positions is far away from the former Song Dynasty, and the emperor hastily added several times. , I'm afraid it's not the blessing of the people!"

Zhu Youjian said in his heart: You have never seen what a real redundant official is. Compared with the later generations, the number of officials in the Song Dynasty is not worth mentioning.

He smiled and said: "The concerns of the two Qing families are also reasonable. Therefore, the lesson from the Song Dynasty is not far away. How can I repeat the same mistakes? Juzi and Jiansheng are the places where the imperial court stores materials, and there are many of them with outstanding abilities. , but due to various reasons, I didn't take the pilot test; therefore, I have this strategy, and its purpose is not to leave any sages. As for the worries of the two Qing family, it is not difficult to solve the problem, and it will take two The Qing family should do their duty well!"

Li Banghua saluted and said: "I am stupid, please let the Holy One express it!"

Zhu Youjian said: "I have a chance: Although the candidates and the supervisors are all qualified to be officials, their exit from politics is no less than the rankings in the examination! I call this the name of wide entry and strict exit!"

All the ministers in the hall seemed to have realized what they said.

Zhu Youjian went on to say: "Strictly selecting officials is a strategy to prevent redundant officials! No matter what the candidates and supervisors are good at, when they take part in the official selection examination, the Six Ministries, the Inspectorate, and the Dali Temple must send out those who are proficient in the affairs of the Ministry. Officials and officials should supervise together! What I said does not only refer to officials, capable officials can also be examiners!"

Li Banghua nodded and said: "I know the meaning of the Holy Majesty, and I have also served in Yousi. I know that many officials are indeed very familiar with the affairs of the Ministry. Let them be the examiners, and they will be able to understand the subtleties! The Holy Majesty's move is not sticking to one pattern. Demeanor, I have no objection!"

Zhou Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, praised: "In this way, whether a certain son or supervisor can be a competent official, the quality of his behavior can be clearly seen at a glance! In this way, the path of mediocre officials will be completely banned from the source! This policy is really a gift from God. Also! What a wide entry and strict exit! Wonderful!"

Zhu Youjian smiled and waved his hands and said, "Don't praise me any more. If there is no objection, the Ministry of Rites will send personnel to announce it on the day the list is published. After the palace examination, all candidates will be admitted to the Imperial College. All temples must now start to arrange For those who are going to teach, make a rotation plan, and everything must be carried out without delaying the affairs of the headquarters! In order to make the officials more attentive in teaching, I will give silver taels from my internal funds as rewards, and those who work hard will be subsidized! "

Zhu Youjian is not worried that some teaching officials will perfunctory.

Every time a class is taught, most of the students sitting below are the top scholars. Although they are not familiar with specific governance laws, it does not prevent them from making judgments on the quality of the teaching.If the professor doesn't pay attention during the lecture, all the candidates and supervisors will definitely make him unable to step down.

Just like a senior foodie, maybe he doesn't know how to cook, but this doesn't affect his judgment on the chef's craftsmanship.

After the ministers dispersed, Zhu Youjian picked up Zhang Kui's memorabilia about intercepting Zu Dashou's convoy and read it again.

Yu Shanhaiguan's interception of various supplies destined for Liaodong was of course carried out under his behest.With the overall situation becoming more and more stable, the blockade of Jianzhou is a matter of course.Most of the materials seized this time are military funds, and they can be used directly by the Yongwei Battalion.

Zhu Youjian planned to ask the Ministry of War to send personnel to Liaodong to check the number of soldiers in Liaodong, and then distribute materials according to actual needs, and lock the way for them to embezzle and embezzle them and sell them to Jianzhou.

After Shanxi merchants were wiped out by the regiment and Jianzhou’s access to supplies from the left was cut off, and now the right road is closed, its huge defect of relying on external blood transfusions will bring disaster to Jianzhou in the near future.

No matter how wise and wise your Huang Taiji is, it’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Without gunpowder, how many times can Kong Youde’s cannon be fired?Without food, will the Mongols still follow you?Gold, silver, silk, and women can only display their attributes when they are full and warm. Do you still have the strength to have sex even if you are not full?

Although there are Han people who have been taken away to farm and collect grain for Jianzhou, Zhu Youjian does not believe in his heart that they can harvest enough grain in a year.

Most of the Han slaves still use wooden agricultural tools. Can those tools dig the ground?Can grain yield be high without intensive cultivation?

Even if a small amount of iron farm tools are used, and there is no shortage of blacksmiths, how can they be repaired if there is no iron material after wear and tear?

People get sick, and soldiers are unavoidably injured during their daily drills. Without the patent medicine smuggled from Daming, just relying on those shamans in Jianzhou to dance, and the dance is over, and people are completely cold.

It is too easy for Daming to control Jianzhou.But historically, emperors and ministers were so overwhelmed by thieves that they had no time to consider the embargo strategy.Coupled with the fact that Jiannu plundered all kinds of materials wantonly after they were detained several times and entered the country, Shanxi merchants and Liaodong directly or indirectly sponsored them, which made them gradually grow up.

Jianzhou's response to the blockade was nothing more than seizure and looting.If it is impossible to break through from Shanhaiguan, it has to enter the Gyeonggi area through the damaged Great Wall pass like last year.

If he hadn't taken into account the casualties of innocent people, Zhu Youjian would have been looking forward to Jiannu's robbing.Let them grab enough first, so that they will automatically stretch the front line out of greed, and then when the veterans of their division are tired and forgetful, they will mobilize heavy troops to hit them hard in the territory.

But that would be too cruel.As a traverser, I simply cannot bear the large number of civilian casualties caused by the war.Countless fresh lives died tragically because of his own decision. Even if he killed Jiannu in the future, his psychology would leave a huge and lingering shadow.

War is a duel between grown men, and has nothing to do with the old, the weak, women and children, let me solve it with a knife and a gun.

The top priority is how to get through the Little Ice Age as smoothly as possible, so that the drought that will continue for several years will not trigger new turmoil, and strive to reduce the number of people who died due to disasters.

The various measures that I have previously decreed and adopted are being vigorously implemented in various provinces. As long as the local governments perform their duties, this year's summer harvest will be able to alleviate the food shortage crisis very well.

Just like cooking, the dishes are washed and the meat is cut, just waiting for the chef to come up and cook.These chefs are the local officials of Ming Dynasty, and the people waiting to eat are the people who are forced to die because of natural disasters.

It is a very unreliable idea to pin hopes on the conscience of officials. The inertia of inaction formed over thousands of years will make them turn a blind eye to the suffering under their noses.

Strict supervision and severe punishment are the best way, and the censors and brocade clothes sent to various places in the north will play a key role in it.

What Zhu Youjian, who was far away in the capital, didn't know was that what he was worried about was happening.
