Chapter 164 Officials
"Since this is the case, the imperial court can set up some quotas for the history of the Guozijian, and reserve some official quotas for the admission of the students of the Guozijian. In this way, the problem of the history of the Guozijian is not Solved? Wouldn’t it be feasible to reopen the Imperial College to pay tribute and relieve the financial pressure? What do you Ai Qing think?”

Today's matter is a bit strange, how come it is so easy to talk about the history issue, and it is too fast to talk about the issue of the superintendent becoming an official, Yang Reform murmured in his heart.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how many places will your Majesty reserve for the supervisors of the Imperial College?" A minister came out and asked.

"This..., how much does this Aiqing think it is appropriate to keep?" To be honest, Yang Reform has not yet figured out how many "seats" to leave for the people of the Imperial College.

The minister who came out to make a statement said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I dare to ask, how many people will your Majesty plan to let into the prison when the Imperial College is reopened? How much donation are you going to lose?"

"Well, the more the better, I think it's not too many to be imprisoned. Tens of thousands of people are also possible. In this way, relying on this tribute every year can also relieve the financial pressure of our dynasty. This disaster relief, salary, and It’s powerful!” Yang Reform casually spoke his mind, 1 people is not too many, tens of thousands are not many, the more the better.The more people, the more income.

The minister who came out to speak was almost choked by the emperor's words. The emperor's appetite was not ordinary, so he cleared his mind and said: "Reporting to your majesty, I think that these 1 people are too many. Eighty-ninety percent of the people who are promoted to the Zhixing Hall are removed, and there are still a thousand people left each year. With such a large number of people, your Majesty would have thought that the imperial court has so many official positions for these supervisors to become officials? The imperial court will definitely not be able to provide so many places to house so many prison students! I think that when His Majesty re-opens the Guozijian regular prison, the number of people should not be too many, and the number of thousands of people is enough. There are no more than a hundred or so people who come from this matter. In this way, the imperial court may barely provide some official positions for these people. In this way, the Guozijian is also attractive. Otherwise, the world is not stupid. What about the case prison?"

This minister actually thought clearly for the emperor. In every aspect, he was more considerate than the caring minister Yang reformed himself.According to this idea, the number of people who can be admitted to the Guozijian every year is only 1000, because no matter how many people there are, the court will never be able to provide so many positions.If you can't get a position, the Guozijian will have no future. If there is no future, who will come to the Guozijian?Nobody is a fool.

Yang Reform felt that the gap between the 1000 people and the number in his mind was too great, and he wanted to open a university town!Get 1000 people now, this is the size of an ordinary technical secondary school!Still private.

"These 1000 people are a bit too small. Even if each prisoner receives a thousand shi of rice for these 1000 people, it is only 100 million shi of rice per year. After all, it is only 200 million taels of silver. ! This is too far away from me learning from the previous [-] people." Yang Reform said dissatisfied.The gap between this and the "plan" is really too big.

The ministers on the ground were convulsed by the emperor's words. The emperor's words were not usually ruthless, they were too shocking.A minister really couldn't figure out why the emperor looked down on the 200 million taels of silver.

"My Majesty, isn't 200 million taels not enough? My annual income is only 300 million taels. Your Majesty, it's already a lot." This one was heartbroken, and it was worth a year's income. Not much, so what is too much? [The taxes in the Ming Dynasty were very complicated. The actual total amount collected was more than 3000 million taels of silver, but the figures on the books were only a few million taels received from the central government. The rest were retained by the local governments and consumed on the spot. It was somewhat similar before the tax reform. 】

"If thousands of people study, 200 million taels a year is a lot, isn't it? Isn't there a scene where thousands of people study? Why can't I do it now?" Yang Reform didn't think highly of the 200 million taels, what he thought was , I can get 200 million taels by opening a golden finger casually, and I can get [-] million taels. What I think is the kind of "spectacular scene" where tens of millions of taels are charged every year.

"Returning to Your Majesty, can you tell me about the grand occasion when I became the Taizu and became the ancestor? It is indeed a feat that thousands of people went to school. However, Your Majesty, at that time, the country was just starting up and talents were urgently needed. Therefore, even if ten thousand people went to school Schooling in prison, there are still thousands of people who can manage affairs and be assigned to official positions every year, so people all over the world still flock to them. There is no redundant official position allocation, so the ten thousand people were imprisoned later, it was the accumulation of 20 years of stagnation, not every year there are ten thousand people, your majesty, this is completely different! Now there are really not so many There are so many people in the vacancies.” The minister explained the internal reason to the emperor. At the beginning, ten thousand people could be imprisoned. To become an official, even if 20 people enter prison, more than [-] official positions can be assigned every year. Those who studied, that was accumulated over the past [-] years, stagnant, and now it is impossible to imitate the tens of thousands of people who were imprisoned when the country was first established. It stinks.

Yang Reform is also stupid. It turns out that the 20 people studying here are accumulated over the past [-] years. I certainly can’t expect myself to be able to earn a lot of money from wholesale official positions like when the country was founded. The university town in Yang Reform’s mind collapsed suddenly. Well, this university city looks like it's not going to be high enough.Yang Reform burst into tears, and he also understood, no wonder the ancestor Zhu Di had the money to build the Great Wall, build Zheng He's fleet to sail to the west, and do all kinds of super projects. It turned out that all the money came from the Imperial College.Now that I want to go this way, it won't work. This empire is in the last days!Not to mention wholesale official hats casually.

"I think what this Ai Qing said is reasonable. This Ai Qing, in your opinion, I will reopen the Guozijian. What is the limit for the number of people per year?" Yang Reform was silent for a long time, and decided to be more pragmatic. Let's think about the tribute of ten thousand people in the dream. It's better to get the tribute of 1 people every year first. I also feel strange, how these courtiers cooperate with me like this today.The whole thing speaks according to its own ideas.Basically no one objected.

The minister who reminded the emperor just now was flattered, and it was rare for the emperor to ask such a pleasant question, so he immediately said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I think it is better to limit the number of people to 1000 at most. If it is 2000 people per year, after five years, There are also 200 people, but the scale is too big.... For the annual calendar, 100 people are better, and among these people, it is better to have [-] people. This is already the limit. Fortunately, after a few years, when the imperial court's annual income is abundant, the donation of this routine prison will be stopped. In this way, the prison students of this Guozijian will not be stagnated. Next time, when the court encounters an emergency, the routine prison can still be reopened. Moreover, the minister thought that it would be better for these official positions to be given to more remote yamen, so that the imperial examinations would not be hindered, and the foundation of the country would not be shaken.” The minister thought of the emperor in everything, and put All aspects of these issues have been considered clearly, and things have been explained clearly.

Yang Reform felt that in this court, these ministers today are all talking to him and following him in everything. Could this be Liu Jishan's "horse boy"?Not like it!This minister stood far ahead of Liu Jishan.Obviously it can't be Liu Jishan's pony. Liu Jishan didn't make an appearance today, which is really strange.

"Well, what this Ai Qing said is very reasonable. I think that since all Ai Qing agree to reopen the Guozijian to lose donations, let's reopen the Guozijian. Let's set the number of people at a thousand for the time being..." Yang Reform calculated After all, the minister is right. There are 1000 people every year. After four or five years, there will be 5000 people. The scale of 5000 people is not small.Every year, one tenth of the people's history is provided, and they become officials. In this way, the attraction of Guozijian is not small.

In fact, there are some university questions in it, but Yang Reform doesn't understand it. The annual quota of [-] officials seems quite a lot, and this can be regarded as a compromise between the bureaucrats and the emperor.In fact, among the students of the Guozijian, many of them are famous people. For example, the prisoner itself is a person who can be an official, and the cute prisoner is an official of the imperial court. Knowing how to be an official requires a certain number of places. There are also some local officials [that is, the leaders of ethnic minorities who have been officials for generations, which is different from low-level officials]. Prison students, the family is originally a guard station, thousands of guards, commanders and other military officers, these people can also be allocated some quotas. Generally speaking, in fact, there are not many quotas allocated to the Guozijian routine supervisors.The ministers are actually just changing concepts secretly, cheating and cheating, and coaxing the emperor.Yang Reform, the emperor, has too little history, and he was cheated and paid for it.

Yang Reform was going to settle this matter like this, but someone below stood up and had something to play.

"I report to Your Majesty, I have a plan, I don't know if I should say it or not?" The official stood behind, and Yang Reform took a look. Isn't this Liu Jishan?
"Well, let's talk about Liu Aiqing, what's the matter." Yang Reform felt that he didn't play any role at all today, and all the ministers "helped" him to speak, and there was no room for him to play at all.I don't know what tricks he has now.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that since the imperial court has a limited number of official positions and cannot give so many official positions to the supervisors, Your Majesty can allocate some of the quota of subordinate staff in each yamen to the supervisors of the Guozijian. In this way, Your Majesty, Relying on the amount of donations from the prison, it can be increased to two or three million taels of silver, please Your Majesty to decide." After Liu Jishan proposed, he remained silent.

As soon as these words came out, there was a big wave in the court, and all the officials looked sideways.

"Your Majesty, this subordinate has always been a low-level official, not an official, but a lifelong official. If this kind of position is assigned to the supervisors of the Imperial College, I am afraid no one will like this way out! Who would do this kind of lifelong subordinate? What about your errand? Your Majesty, I think it is purely redundant." A minister came out to object.

Yang Reform thinks it makes sense. What people in the world are fighting for is to be an official, not to be a subordinate official. There is a world of difference between being an official and being an official.

Liu Jishan came out again, and said: "My Majesty, I think that it's because they don't have official status for subordinates. Why don't your majesty bestow this official status on these supervisors who do the work of subordinates? Think about this." Guozijian also has supervisors from Juren. Your Majesty can give these supervisors an errand as a subordinate. Although these subordinates are not popular and not in the eyes of everyone, your Majesty can bring an official rank for those who came out of the prison to experience events. This becomes an official with an official rank. In the future, if this subordinate official is effective, diligent and talented, and has an official rank, he can be promoted to become an official. Juren themselves can also become officials, and if they become officials, they are at least ninth rank, or seven or eighth rank is also possible, it is not too much for His Majesty to give them an official rank, presumably, many people will flock to the Imperial College." As expected, Liu Jishan spoke powerfully. He could think of such an idea for a subordinate official with official status. It can be seen that for the sake of the emperor's errand, he still put in a lot of effort and racked his brains.

What Liu Jishan said surprised the ministers even more!Officials with official ranks, such things... have you ever had them before?For a while, the ministers' brains were short-circuited. Subordinates cannot be officials because they are officials and have no rank. Now they have such officials with official rank... Think about it, Liu Jishan's words are not complete. It doesn't make sense, the person who raised the prison can be an official, and if he is an official, he is at least an eighth or ninth rank official, and it is not surprising that he is even a seventh rank county magistrate.It is not impossible for him to carry a ninth-rank official hat on his back to do this kind of subordinate job. This seems "reasonable and reasonable", but the future of this "official official" is limited, and the prospect of promotion is not great, but For ordinary people, being an official still has a certain appeal.

Yang Reform did not expect that this Liu Jishan was still so powerful, and his combat effectiveness was still so strong.Immediately said: "Liu Aiqing's idea is good. To be a subordinate official and carry an official rank on her body, this is a good way. It can greatly increase the proportion of Guozijian's history, and it can greatly increase the Guozijian's chances of becoming an official. The way! Thinking about this year, there will be a lot of losses and donations! Does the Ai Qing have any objections?" Yang Reform was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.

All the ministers murmured in their hearts, this matter, it seems that the way to become an official of the Imperial College has been expanded, but after thinking about it carefully, this is actually the way to become an official through the imperial examination. Prison is included in the scope of official ranks. This Juren is the name after a person enters a prison. This Juren itself can become an official. Unfortunately, there are only [-] Jinshi every three years. So, if this Juren can take the route of Guozijian to become an official, first do the work of subordinates, and carry an official rank on his back. Thinking of this treatment, many Juren who have no hope of being admitted to Jinshi will definitely flock to him. After all, every day It is very possible to get promoted and become an official in the future with the help of superiors, colleagues and friends.This is a great way out of the imperial examination!

Everyone calculated the benefits and losses in their hearts one after another, and some people thought about it clearly and smiled.

"Your Majesty, I think this is good governance. I think there are only [-] Jinshi students in this world every three years, and this move is ten times the number of Jinshi. This move has found a way out for the world's people. Although there will be limited promotion in the future, But it is also a way to advance, presumably, everyone in the world must flock to it." The minister obviously wanted to understand the "reason" of it, and immediately came out to agree.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister also thinks it is reasonable. I think that in the early years of my dynasty, the Imperial College was sluggish, and some people resigned in order to seek official status. The imperial court gave the treatment of 'outside ninth-rank position, crown and idle residence', which is also true. It is not an exaggeration to give these supervising students an official status of the ninth rank, and now it is not an exaggeration to give these juren an official status." The minister immediately put forward a feasible basis, which was a precedent.

Many other people, when they heard it, it turned out to be the case, and they also understood that on the surface, it was to provide a way for the Imperial College to become an official, but in fact, it was to provide better ways and treatment for the imperial examination candidates. The main problem is the competition between the two systems of imperial examinations and supervising students, and the contention is which system dominates the way to become an official.Now it’s just that these candidates who have no hope of being admitted to Jinshi will go around the Imperial College more and pay a little more "training fees". In this way, the court will have to donate and lose, and the candidates will have a history and a path to officialdom. It can be regarded as the best of both worlds. .This is a systemic dispute that does not involve the road to becoming an official.

Hearing this, Yang Reform understood it, and it was obvious that those Juren were allowed to become officials through donations!This is selling official porridge to Juren!As the minister said, the average number of Scholars per year is no more than a hundred, and this number of people is ten times that of Scholars!If all the recruits pass through the Guozijian, and become officials with official ranks first, and then become officials, this path will definitely attract a large number of candidates to take this path. After thinking about it for many years, I am afraid that most of the candidates will not get a single official position. Do, now that this path has been opened, the Guozijian may be full this year!Yang Reform suddenly discovered that this Liu Jishan was really cute.

Yang Reform was crackling and quick to make his own calculations, calculating how much money he could earn in the first year. What Yang Reform wanted was to be able to make a lot of money in the past few years, not some small and long-term business.This Juren is the ruling class in this society, and there is absolutely some money, that is to say, one thousand shimi can be exchanged for an "official" who first does official affairs. This trick is not poisonous!It hit the itch in the hearts of those who have no hope of being admitted to the Jinshi, and who have no hope of becoming an official!
