Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 576 Abolish the lowly status!
Seeing that the engineering academy is as noisy as a pig slaughterhouse,
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but frown. These Hanlin students have reached this point, but they are still so weak. They can't do anything except cry. I am a Ming Dynasty scholar, a reserve minister of the imperial court, how can I even have a bit of backbone? nothing? !

In addition to disappointment, or disappointment!
Besides being jealous of the virtuous and capable, reciting poems and fighting against each other, drinking with prostitutes, gambling and having fun, what else would these Hanlin do?
What else would they do besides criticizing the government and ruling the country?
No wonder the people in the Ming Dynasty are so poor now, and even Tianqi two years ago, the imperial court’s annual tax was only a few million taels of silver.

With such scholars governing the country, it is the biggest surprise that Ming Dynasty does not have any accidents!

Wei Zhongxian is very happy to watch these scholars who look down on him get caught and slip away like pigs.

Zhu Youxiao really couldn't stand it anymore, he said: "Anyway, they are all scholars of my Ming Dynasty, so we should show some dignity."

When Su Mingzhe heard this, his eyes were moist: the dog emperor finally changed his mind!

He finally knew who was the loyal minister.

But who knows, Zhu Youxiao continued: "They are all ministers of my country, how can they be so dragged?"

"Get out!"

The originally hopeful eyes of these Hanlins dimmed suddenly. Sure enough, expecting the dog emperor to respect their scholars is simply the greatest disrespect for the dog emperor's character!

Jin Yiwei dragged and dragged these Hanlin scholars one by one and took them out of the Academy of Engineering. The common people outside the Academy of Engineering, who had been reluctant to disperse, applauded one after another when they saw the Hanlin scholars who were taken out to be sent to labor camps. .

Hearing the thunderous "Long live the emperor" and applause outside the Academy of Engineering, Zhu Youxiao said proudly, "Show your car and go back to the palace!"

Back in the palace, Zhu Youxiao said disdainfully: "These Hanlin are full of insects, and it's fine if they can't share the country's worries, and they are always making trouble for me!"

Zhang Haogu pondered and said: "Your Majesty, speaking of it, this time we also underestimated these Imperial Academy."

"Although these Hanlin have no real talents and learning, they still have the ability to be jealous of the virtuous and capable."

"I thought they wouldn't cause us any trouble, but I didn't expect them to dare to break into the Academy of Engineering to beat people."

Zhu Youxiao was also extremely annoyed: "The guards I arranged for the Academy of Engineering, can't stop these waste Hanlin, they are all waste!"

Zhang Haogu said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, we still underestimate the influence of scholars and Hanlin on the world."

"The Ming Dynasty has supported scholars for 260 years, and gave preferential treatment to scholars so much that before this dynasty, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together, and even scholars could gather cronies to influence the government and influence the imperial power."

"For those soldiers, those scholars are the most terrifying and deadly, because with their mouths and pens in their hands, black can be said to be white, and white can be said to be gray. Who is not afraid?"

Zhu Youxiao's face darkened: "That's why I want to reform the administration of officials."

"The important places in the capital can no longer be handed over to the old army. Not only the palace, but all other places must also be handed over to the new army."

"The training of the three major battalions can be regarded as having achieved initial results. It's time to use them."

Zhang Haogu added: "In addition, whether it is the Academy of Engineering, the Gunpowder Bureau, or the homes of the bachelors, they all need the protection of the new army, especially these bachelors and their families."

Zhu Youxiao nodded again and again: "That's right, these scholars must be protected. These are the national scholars of my Ming Dynasty, and they are real talents. Their importance to Ming Dynasty is more than a million times more important than those Donglin rotten scholars!"

"Fortunately, Xueshi Wang is fine, otherwise, I will definitely banish Zhou Jie and other thieves!"

Bringing this up, Zhu Youxiao was furious. After all, Daming's increase in grain production had achieved initial results, and he was about to accomplish a major event that had never been accomplished in the past dynasties. But at this time, those Hanlin gave him a cold shoulder. Yes, it almost ruined his great career, he has problems only if he is not angry!

And Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty, I have another idea."

Zhu Youxiao said: "What else can the master teach me?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, we have reformed the law and reformed the government, which has attracted all the corrupt officials in the world. The powerful gentry are full of resentment towards the imperial court, and the Donglin party members control the public opinion of the people, and they have repeatedly opposed the imperial court."

"Then who are the supporters of our New Deal?"

"The common people, the poor people in the world, the new army, the students of Datong Academy."

"These are your loyal supporters, Your Majesty, and the biggest supporters of the New Deal."

"But we're not done with everyone yet."

"Scholars, farmers, businessmen, scholars rank first, and businessmen are lowly, and have always been looked down upon."

"Since the Donglin Party has been abandoned by us, why doesn't the emperor take all of them?"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes flashed brightly, and he looked at Zhang Haogu: "Master, what do you mean?"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said:

"I remember that during the period of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin once said, 'Since ancient times, China has been valued and barbarians have been despised, and I love them all as one', and then attracted barbarians from all over the world to vote and become the arm of the Tang Dynasty, helping Li Shimin achieve great achievements in the future. Li Shimin once said 'All the heroes of the world have entered my urn'."

"Li Shimin treats craftsmen generously, no matter their status is high or low, as long as they have talents, they can be hired, so they recruit a large number of talents. These talents are from my Han family, and there are also foreign heroes. Those who are good at craftsman join craftsmen as supervisors to make utensils, and those who are able to lead troops lead troops to guard the border.”

"Regardless of their status, no matter whether they are Han people or not, as long as they are talented, Li Shimin will not hesitate to award high officials and rich salary. In Tang Dynasty, those who won officials because of craftsmanship and farming were still in an endless stream in Li Longji's time."

"Therefore, from Zhenguan to Kaiyuan, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty was full, and the people of the Tang Dynasty had food to eat, and they were full. The country was strong and the people were rich, and the prosperity was unprecedented."

"The people of the region don't regard the boundaries of the frontiers as the frontiers. At that time, the barbarians outside the land of the Tang Dynasty all thought that the Great Tang was proud of their service; the solid state did not regard the dangers of the mountains and streams. From Zhenguan to Kaiyuan, the Tang Dynasty never needed to build the Great Wall to defend against the enemy; it was powerful all over the world. Instead of using the benefits of military revolution, Tang used virtue to subdue the barbarians, and the whole world obeyed."

As he said that, Zhang Haogu looked at Zhu Youxiao, who had been attracted by the romantic scene he described: "Your Majesty, craftsmen and farmers in the Tang Dynasty can be respected for their craftsmanship and can be appointed as officials and marquises. Can’t? Now that things have come to this point, let’s abolish the cheap status and liberate the world.”

"Removing the lowly status, everyone can take the exam and become an official. Those poor students who were rejected by the Donglin Party, those craftsmen, businessmen, and people from all over the Ming Dynasty. They must inherit the emperor's kindness and are willing to die for the emperor."

"As a result, agriculture, industry, commerce, and the army are all in the hands of the emperor, and the world's talents are all in the emperor's urn. Isn't it an unprecedented prosperity comparable to Zhenguan and Kaiyuan?"
