Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 135 Stereotyped taking an official position is a great harm to the world!
"Then Master Su, why is this good for the king?"

Zhu Biao asked again.

Since for scholars, the imperial examination is only something that is beneficial to themselves, and they can be discarded after passing the exam.

That the imperial examination can be promoted from generation to generation to the present must be beneficial to the king.

It's just this profit, where is it?
Su Jing said lightly: "That's easy. The imperial examination has selected outstanding talents for the country. Isn't it easier for the king to govern the country?"

"At the same time, the imperial examination also allows ordinary people to have a channel for class transition, and their loyalty to the imperial court will increase."

"More importantly, the influence of those aristocratic families will be greatly reduced, because they will no longer be able to attract folk talents through recommendation means, which is equivalent to killing middlemen."

"Although the king himself is inherited, no king wants his officials to inherit his father's business. What the king wants are excellent and capable ministers."

"In the final analysis, it is still for the stability of the imperial power."

Su Jing talked eloquently, these are all things that were badly mentioned in the history books of previous lives.

But for Zhu Biao, it is very novel, or thorough.

The benefits of the imperial examination to the emperor were quite clearly described in Su Jing's few words.

Things that can stabilize the imperial power will naturally be vigorously promoted.

The reason why the imperial examination has continued since its birth has been clearly placed in front of Zhu Biao.

"Then what does this have to do with science? Why does it hinder the spread and development of science?"

Zhu Biao was a little puzzled.

He understands the advantages and disadvantages of the imperial examination, but he still doesn't understand the relationship with science.

How is it not conducive to the dissemination and development of science.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao, thought for a while, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Well, we have to mention our current day."

When today's child?

own father?
Why did it involve his father again?

Zhu Biao's complexion changed a bit strangely, but he restrained himself and asked, "What does Master Su mean by that?"

Su Jing didn't take it seriously, he thought about it before he said it, whether he should tell Zhu Biao so directly.

How should I put it, it was Lao Zhu I was talking about.

But after thinking about it, since you are teaching your own students, it is better to teach clearly.

"Niu Yi, you should know that Daming will reopen the imperial examination soon."

Su Jing asked Zhu Biao.

With Zhu Biao's unfathomable family background, he should know something about the palace.

Su Jing thought so, so he came up with such a question.

But when this fell into Zhu Biao's ears, it was a little shocking.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang did have the idea of ​​reopening the imperial examination, but at present, it has not been announced, and it is only discussed among some courtiers.

After all, there is still a lot of preparatory work required for the resumption of the imperial examination.

But now, Su Jing is in Lishui County, how did he know it?

"Master Su, it is true that the imperial examination will be reopened soon, but how did Master Su know about it?"

Zhu Biao asked curiously.

He usually doesn't hide it in his heart, and asks when he has doubts.

"Is this."

Su Jing smiled and said: "It's very simple, you can know it by combining some phenomena and the country's laws and regulations."

Ok?
State decree?

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Master Su, please explain in detail."

Zhu Biao was really puzzled by this matter.

Su Jing said indifferently: "A few months ago, today's emperor issued an edict to study in the prefectures, prefectures, and counties of the world. The number of students from all over the world has increased significantly. Isn't this obvious?"

The prefectural and county schools are still the emperor's edict. Isn't this going to reopen the imperial examination?
Su Jing added: "Do you still remember when my paper mill was built?"

Paper mill!
Having said that, Zhu Biao understood immediately.

It turned out that everything about Su Jing had been planned long ago.

Prefectural and county schools, with more students, the demand for paper will increase.

The business of the paper mill will naturally not be bad.

This business activity is also changing with the national decree.

At this time, Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing with incomparable reverence:

"Master Su is wise, and the students are taught."

Su Jing waved his hand and said, "These are all basic operations. When I taught you business skills before, didn't I tell you that you must understand social needs in order to make money."

"What are the needs of the society? National decrees have a great influence. It is actually very simple to pay more attention to observation and thinking."

It's not that Su Jing is bragging. Su Jing suffered a lot when investing in his previous life.

"Students are taught."

Zhu Biao nodded, only thinking that Su Jing was extremely powerful.

Such a person, no matter where he is, may be able to make some achievements.

"Let's not talk about these, let's talk about the imperial examination."

Su Jing continued: "Since the imperial examination is going to be reopened, a process must be formulated."

"Although it hasn't been promulgated yet, from my point of view, the eight-legged official selection system at the end of the Yuan Dynasty will probably be followed."

Stereotype!
This is really a cancerous existence in the imperial examination system.

"Master Su, you also came up with observation and thinking?"

Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing with a look of horror on his face, thinking it was too scary?

It is not difficult to understand the matter of the imperial examination from the prefectural and county schools.

But Su Jing even mentioned the method of eight-legged officialdom, which shocked Zhu Biao.

Because there has always been controversy between the DPRK and China over what kind of scientific method to use to select officials.

Zhu Biao's previous teacher was Song Lian, a great Confucian, so there would naturally be exchanges.

At the same time, his father Zhu Yuanzhang also discussed with him. From the current point of view, it is indeed biased towards the plan of stereotyped election.

This matter is so detailed, Su Shi can actually get it right, how can Zhu Biao not be surprised.

"That's it."

Su Jing nodded and said: "Because the stereotyped essay has its unique advantages, as long as it is a normal monarch, it will probably choose this plan."

"Unique advantage?"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered the exchange he had with Song Lian. He said: "The advantages that Master Su mentioned, do you mean that the stereotyped essays use Confucius to make words, which is conducive to students all over the world to better understand the essence of Confucius' knowledge?" The stereotype format is unified, so it is easier to score with the examiners, which is more fair."

These are not Zhu Biao's words, but what Song Lian said when discussing with Zhu Biao.

In Zhu Biao's view, it makes sense.

however.

Su Jing's answer was only two words:

"fart!"

Su Jing didn't care about her current status as a teacher at all, and just blurted out a curse word.

The whole Zhu Biao was at a loss, he couldn't understand how he had said such a sentence, which caused such a big reaction from Su Jing.

"Master Su, what did the student say wrong?"

Zhu Biao asked boldly.

Su Jing snorted coldly and said: "Everything is wrong! The advantage of stereotyped essays lies in the fact that the world spends time in useless places, corrupts ambitions in ignorance, and is arrogant and insane. Auxiliary to the country, the subordinates are not enough to support the livestock."

What Su Jing said was rude.

Regarding stereotyped essays, although Su Jing has never written them, he also hates them.

Great China, because of these stereotyped essays, killed the thoughts of many ancestors.

When it comes to the poison of thought, stereotyped essays bear the brunt!

Hearing Su Jing's merciless words, Zhu Biao was shocked and at a loss.

Is this the advantage of stereotyped candidates?

Let the world waste away its time in useless places, destroy its ambitions and integrity in darkness, let the pride and self-satisfaction of the elders deceive the minds of the people, and make it impossible to assist the country upwards, and unable to serve the animals downwards.

This is not an advantage, it is simply criticizing the harm of stereotyped writing, and it is still a huge and incomparable harm.

"Master Su, is it really so dangerous to be an official with stereotyped posts?"

Zhu Biao said to Su Jing.

This is different from what he learned before, neither his teacher Song Lian nor his father Zhu Yuanzhang said so.

"You think I'm scaremongering?"

Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and asked back.

"Students dare not."

Zhu Biao said immediately.

Su Jing calmed down, and said: "Just treat me as an alarmist, anyway, this stereotyped way of getting an official can't be changed."

"After all, its benefits are something that no king can refuse."

Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing who had regained his composure, and said, "Master Su, the students don't understand, what are the advantages of this stereotyped selection of an official?"

What Su Jing said just now seems to be a shortcoming.

Su Jing said lightly: "I don't quite understand what I said. The elders are arrogant and insane. This is exactly what the king wants, and it is naturally an advantage."

Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "Master Su, the students think that what Master Su said is unreasonable, why would the king want his subjects to be arrogant and insane?"

As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao had already assumed the role of the king at this time.

At least he wouldn't want his courtiers to be like this.

Su Jing smiled and said, "Why doesn't the king want it? Remember what I told you about burning books and burying Confucianism and dismissing Confucianism from all schools of thought, Niu Yi."

"As a monarch, nothing can compare to the stability of one's own rule, and the same is true in thought."

"The eight-legged essay requires both the form of the questions and the thinking of the questions. All the explanations are based on the principles of Confucius and Mencius. Candidates are not allowed to have their own opinions at all. Is this a kind of ideological imprisonment?"

"When all scholars study stereotyped essays, it means that they study Confucius, Mencius and Confucianism, and follow the thoughts of heaven and earth, monarch, relative and teacher. Isn't that what the king wants?"

Su Jing's explanation left Zhu Biao speechless.

Burning books and burying Confucianism and dismissing Confucianism from a hundred schools of thought are two seemingly opposite things, but they actually serve the same purpose.

Ideologically determine the supremacy of the monarchy.

According to the current thinking of stereotyped essays, this is indeed the king's favorite.

Su Jing ignored Zhu Biao, who was a little sluggish at the moment, and continued: "The development and dissemination of scientific knowledge requires free and open thinking."

"Imperial examinations, especially stereotyped examinations, are actually killing science."

"After all, governance is more important than science."

Domination is more important than science.

This simple conclusion shocked Zhu Biao's heart.

"Government is more important than science, and government is more important than science"

Zhu Biao muttered to himself, repeating this sentence over and over again.

Science or domination?

Zhu Biao felt that he was caught in a dilemma again.

"Okay, don't think about it so much."

Su Jing patted Zhu Biao's shoulder and said: "This is reality, an unchangeable reality, don't think too much."

Under the feudal monarchy, such development can be said to be inevitable.

"No, Master Su, the students thought that there must be a solution."

Zhu Biao raised his head, looked at Su Jing and said very firmly.

The solution?
Unless there is no emperor, directly transition to the next social system!
Su Jing felt emotional in his heart, but on the surface he still persuaded him: "Don't be obsessed, Niu Yi, this matter is not something you can solve, at least the current you should not think about this kind of problem."

Now that the Ming Dynasty has just been founded, Zhu Yuanzhang's personal power is at its peak.

In any dynasty, especially the emperor in the early stage of establishment, he is the absolute ruler.

You are now telling him that you will enter the next social system, and the world will no longer have the surname Zhu?

Isn't this holding his head and letting Lao Zhu chop it off?

In other words, Zhu Biao is Su Jing's favorite student, so he just said a few words.

Otherwise, Su Jing wouldn't even talk to Zhu Biao about the shortcomings of being an official in the imperial examination.

These things are disrespectful on the one hand, and it is easy to lose their heads if they are spread, and on the other hand, it is difficult to convince people with just a few words.

Not everyone can trust Su Jing like Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao remained silent, as if he was still thinking about something.

"Master Su, the eight-legged selection of officials takes the Tao of Confucius and Mencius as the core. You say there is a mistake. Could it be that the Tao of Confucius and Mencius is wrong?"

Zhu Biao asked again.

Su Jing's words were too fast just now, and he didn't think carefully about a lot of content. Thinking about it now, he found something wrong.

"The way of Confucius and Mencius is of course correct."

Su Jing replied: "But if only scholars are allowed to use the way of Confucius and Mencius to take the imperial examination, it would be wrong."

"Science itself is a science that explores the laws of things and their phenomena, and it must be advancing, developing, and progressive."

"If you are confined in a certain cage, there is absolutely no possibility of development."

"The harm of the imperial examination is also reflected in this. All intelligent and thoughtful scholars in a country go to study stereotypes and do their best for their official careers. How can science have the basis for development."

Listening to Su Jing's words, Zhu Biao realized that the imperial examinations, especially the stereotyped selection of officials, were indeed very harmful.

Then should I suggest to my father to cancel stereotyped essays?

Zhu Biao hesitated for a while.

Su Jing has already explained clearly the advantages and disadvantages of this imperial examination stereotype.

If I look at it from the position of my father Zhu Yuanzhang, at least in front of me, this stereotyped selection of an official is quite good.

It recruited talents from all over the world, and at the same time allowed them to do their best to serve the king, the royal family, and the court.

Let scholars all over the world accept the Confucianism of the heaven, earth, ruler, relatives and teachers. The sky is big and the earth is big, and the monarch is the biggest.

This power has always been in the hands of the Zhu family, even ideologically.

This is undoubtedly a matter of great benefit and no harm to the emperor.

Therefore, even if I really made this suggestion to my father Zhu Yuanzhang, it probably would not be adopted.

In this way, the development of science will surely be stillborn.

The development of productive forces has become nonsense.
