After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 202 Vocational and Technical Training

"The most direct way to pay attention to the cultivation of talents is to vigorously run schools in all states, counties and counties across the country." Song Lian said, "We did not do enough to cultivate talents in the past. For example, Southwest Enke this time only came More than 1000 reference students."

"Besides, it was the children and scholars who came together, and they only made up more than 1000. This shows how scarce there are scholars in the Southwest." Shi Naian said, "You must know that the population of the three provinces in Southwest China is already tens of millions. That percentage is really too small.”

"To run a school vigorously, you need to send a teacher to teach the local schoolchildren to read." Gao Qidao, "But the current Hanlin Academy is empty, and we can't deploy manpower to support the school."

"Didn't we just give you the 180 scholars in the southwest to the Imperial Academy? How do you say that there is no one in the Imperial Academy?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty, they have not yet been naturalized in the Hanlin Academy, and some have not even seen the threshold of the Hanlin Academy. Could it be that their benches have not been seated, and Your Majesty will transfer them away?" Gao Qi was dumbfounded.

"Who said they were transferred to leave?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "transfer the 'old people' of your Hanlin Academy to support schools across the country, and let the new talents take over their original positions."

"Your Majesty, the 180 is given to Southwest scholars, all of them are novices, and they are only scholars with fame." Hearing this, Gao Qi quit and said.

In the past, the people in the Hanlin Academy were at least jinshi and famous, but all the new recruits were scholars, and there were not even Juren.All those who were above the level of fame were sent to the mountains and the countryside by the emperor.

Furthermore, the old people in the past were all proficient in business, and the newly arrived scholars were not good at anything and needed to be taught from scratch.

The most important thing is that the emperor transferred all the old people from the Hanlin Academy, and replaced them with a group of 180 new people.

It was as if all the lower floors of the Hanlin Academy were replaced, leaving only a few of their upper floors.

This has to make people suspect that Emperor Zhu wants to empty the Hanlin Academy.

In the past, the Hanlin Academy were all their people, but now they are all from the Southwest.

This often happens when taking military power.

A general's military power is too great, and it is difficult for the emperor to seize it clearly.He will first replace his generals with those who are loyal to the emperor, and step by step will take over the military power in the hands of the generals.

The final decision was made to take it down. The general was unable to rebel because the people under his hands were changed.

Thinking of this, several Qingliu civil servants in the Hanlin Academy couldn't help sweating.

"Why, you look down on the fame of scholars?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "In the current situation, if there are scholars for you, you should burn high incense."

"Your Majesty, compiling the history of the Yuan Dynasty must use skilled hands and high-level Confucian scholars. Only they are familiar with the historical materials of the Yuan Dynasty and have a high level."

"If a newcomer is involved in compiling the history of the Yuan Dynasty, not only will they not be familiar with the historical materials, but their level of compiling is not enough." Song Lian said, "Compiling the history books of the former dynasty is the most important thing for the new dynasty, only the history books of the old dynasty. Only when the compilation is complete can it reflect the completion of the replacement of the new dynasty.”

"And if there are errors and omissions in the history books, or if the language is not understood, it will become a joke in future generations."

"Editing the history of the Yuan Dynasty is not that important." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "A history book of the previous dynasty, it is not harmful to keep it for a few years and then edit it."

"What we urgently need to solve now is the problem of lack of talents. Compilation of Yuan History is just for learning, and the immediate national economy and people's livelihood are the top priority."

"Chen, obey the order!" Song Lian sighed, "Now in Daming, even the scholars who compiled and edited the history books of the previous dynasty can't squeeze out."

"The level of talent shortage is really shocking!"

At the same time, several people also felt relieved. Emperor Zhu stopped editing the history of the Yuan Dynasty. He only wanted to cultivate talents. It seemed that he had no interest in the Hanlin Academy.His purpose is just to cultivate more talents.

However, as a result, they were tired, and they had to teach a group of scholars to be familiar with the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, and they were taught from scratch.

It's just taking apprentices, tired.

Even if you bring apprentices, all of them used to be jinshi, and you will be able to teach them.But now he is leading talents, which is more energy-intensive.

I used to be a college graduate, but now I am a high school graduate.

……

"In addition, the problem of lack of craftsmen can also be solved by the Ministry of Household." Hu Weiyong stepped forward and said, "For example, let the experts from the former Armament Bureau and Gunpowder Bureau come out as teachers to teach new craftsmen."

"Yes. Skilled craftsmen are also extremely important to the imperial court." Zhu Yuanzhang said.From the 'Ghost Hand' Wang Huaigu, he has already seen the importance of skilled workers to the country, "Shan Anren, you can do it after you go down."

"In addition to cultivating craftsmen such as steelmaking and casting, craftsmen from all walks of life must be trained, and several 'artisan training classes' must be established across the country."

"Even vigorously set up vocational and technical education, textiles, smelting, and porcelain firing...covering all aspects."

"Especially in agriculture, special education should be carried out. After all, the newly added territory of the Ming Dynasty also needs to send skilled agricultural experts there."

Although there is no clear concept of creating a vocational technical college or an agricultural university, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang already had a vague idea in his mind.

"Sir, follow the order." Shan Anren said, "However, training craftsmen belongs to the household department. Training agricultural technicians should not belong to the Ministry of Industry, right?"

The current Ministry of Industry is also very busy, and he is not willing to take on more tasks.

"Indeed, agricultural affairs are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry." Zhu Yuanzhang pondered upon hearing this. With the rapid development of the Ming Dynasty, the previous six-ministerial system of Zhongshu Province was obviously not enough, and its drawbacks gradually emerged.

But he couldn't think of a good way for a while, and said, "Let the Ministry of Household take care of the cultivation of agricultural personnel."

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Households is also very busy." Lu Chang stood up and said, "The southwest is developing rapidly and the population is increasing, and its household registration, land and acres problems are many and complicated. There is also a new tax revenue from the Ministry of Commerce, which also needs to be approved by someone. The Ministry is also very busy every day.”

"It seems that none of you want to take over the task of cultivating agricultural technicians?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty, it's not that we refuse to accept it, but that we don't have enough manpower and energy," said the ministers.

"Do you want us to establish another agricultural department?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"This minister thinks this is feasible." Li Shan said long, "Besides the six departments, didn't your Majesty have established a business department and a land department? The previous six departments have already existed in name only and have become eight."

"If you add an agricultural department, it will be logical."

"This matter will be discussed in the future, and the cultivation of agricultural talents should be left to the Ministry of Household Management first. Lu Chang, we don't care if you have the energy or not, let's take this matter down first." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
