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

Chapter 417 It's a mule or a horse
The first is to send troops to the southwest to conquer the small countries in the south on a large scale.

The second article is to run private schools, including nine years of compulsory education, and after nine years, they will be divided into subjects.

Article [-]: Set up orphanages on a large scale across the country.

After listening to the offerings, everyone nodded.It means that except for the first strategy of the emperor, which needs to be discussed, the rest of the second and third national policies are in line with the basic concept of governing the country with Tao.

Because these two items can be found in the corresponding theoretical basis from Huangdi's "Sheng Jing".

These two are all practice under the guidance of its theoretical basis.

Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang proposed to rule the country with Dao, people all over the country have been looking for classics of Huang-Lao's theory.The Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor have been thoroughly read by all the priests.

During the period when the country was governed by Tao, this group of people was very confused.

Because they were unable to find the corresponding experience from the few dynasties in history that practiced inaction, and came up with a strategy for governing the country that fits the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.Because the emperor said a long time ago that governing the country by virtue is not by doing nothing.

You can't cross the river by feeling the stones.

Moreover, their minds are more or less deeply influenced by Confucianism.

Therefore, for a long time, they all felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's rule of law might be like the previous Confucianism.

If they are all shouting slogans, then ruling the country with morality is just a gimmick.

However, it didn't take long for the emperor to come up with corresponding strategies for governing the country and implement them.

"Your Majesty is indeed Your Majesty. His mind is much smarter than ours." Fu Buqian said, "We are all in a period of confusion, but he has already figured out a clear policy for governing the country."

"What about the emperor? In the Jixia Academy, we should talk about the three sages." Gongsun Qilin, the leader of the famous school, said, "To tell the truth, regardless of his status as the emperor, he was able to find someone who is suitable for governing the country according to the law in such a short period of time." The policy of governing the country is indeed worthy of being one of the three sages of Jixia Academy."

"Of course the emperor is worthy of the three sages of Jixia Academy, and he is worthy of the name." Su Lin, the leader of the political strategist, said, "I'm not flattering the emperor, and he can't hear it."

"Jixia Academy is a place dedicated to the study of learning. The most taboo is flattery, cult of personality, and being someone else's echo."

"In academic research, the most important thing is to criticize."

"The more intense the criticism, the greater the progress."

"Not bad, not bad." The crowd said one after another.

"I'm just telling the truth." Gongsun Qilin continued.

"The emperor started from the bottom of the peasants, and finally became the emperor. This is unique in history. Of course, he has extraordinary vision and talent, otherwise he would not have achieved such great achievements."

"For such a person to be one of the three sages, it can be regarded as a virtue worthy of his position."

"Yeah, yeah." The crowd nodded.

His record is there, what else can you say?

When it comes to the starting point, Emperor Zhu's starting point is lower than anyone else.

"Let's talk about the Empress." Gongsun Qilin said, "Her kindness and character are well known, so I won't go into details here. She has been working to improve the status of women in the Ming Dynasty recently. The first female number one scholar in history, He did it all by himself.”

"It is also her decree to prohibit women from binding the feet of women across the country."

"And she recently established the 'Yingtian Women's College' in Yingtian Mansion."

"She is also fully worthy of the three sages, and her virtue is worthy of her position."

The crowd was dejected after hearing this.

Feel the pressure on your shoulders.

The dean of Jixia Academy, Qin Yu, needless to say, he is the founder of Jixia Academy.

One of the three sages, Zhang Sloppy, is an immortal of loyalty and filial piety. '

Of the other two sages, one started as a beggar and eventually became emperor.

And the other one is the queen who has made great contributions to the women of the world.

That is to say, the first dean and the three sages above Jixia Academy are all top-notch figures, shining brilliantly.

Each one has great achievements.

And these people, it seems that they have not made any outstanding achievements.

They paled in comparison to the four above them.

Let them feel that if they don't make any achievements, they are not worthy of staying in Jixia Academy as a sacrificial wine.After all, Jixia Academy is the think tank of Daming and the think tank of the Han family.

If you can't make achievements, you will be unworthy of virtue.

Even Liu Bowen, the vice president, has a brilliant record, although he can't compare with the above four.

Back then, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all schools of thought were brilliant.

There is absolutely no such situation of being crushed by others.

They feel that their genre seems to have really declined.As the leader, I am a little sorry for the past sages of the academic school, Xu Xing, the founder of the peasant family, Lu Buwei, the founder of the miscellaneous family, and Bian Que, the founder of the medical family...

"You don't have to be discouraged when offering wine." Seeing this situation, Liu Bowen said, "Now everyone has vigorously developed their own schools, made contributions, and made great achievements for their academic achievements. The opportunity has come."

"Didn't the emperor already order that private schools be opened all over the country?"

"This is giving the common people an opportunity to educate."

"Then the emperor asked me to tell everyone to offer wine, and send outstanding disciples of your academic school to set up schools in various provinces across the country. Select outstanding talents from the vast number of common people's students to strengthen your school."

"The emperor really said that?" The crowd was pleasantly surprised after hearing this.

In the past, they could only recruit disciples secretly, and it was difficult to recruit.Because the emperors of all dynasties have been suppressing hundreds of schools.

But now, Emperor Zhu not only allowed them to recruit disciples openly, but also provided them with a great opportunity to recruit disciples.The majority of people in Ming Dynasty had a huge population base.

With such a large base of people, many young talents can definitely be recruited.

In just a few years, their genre can grow.

"This is the imperial decree of the emperor, how can it be false?" Liu Bowen said, "This move by the emperor is the real mastery of the sages of the past. The sages in the eyes of the emperor are the sages who founded our school, not Confucius and Mencius. .”

"In addition, the emperor will let you go to various provinces and use your ideas to govern this province after your school grows stronger."

"It's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk."

"Govern well, the emperor will give you greater opportunities for development."

"If the governance is not good, the emperor will hold it accountable and even ban it."

"Presumably you are offering wine, and you don't want the academic schools you each believe in to disappear in your hands, right? If the province is not well governed, then this school of thought will definitely become the laughing stock of history in the future."

"This is an opportunity, but also a huge test!" the Mohist giant Fu Buqian said excitedly after hearing the words,
