Chapter 244

Yang Reform is looking at the entire Imperial College buildings.

The scale here is super large. Obviously, when it was first built, it was used for the study of more than 2000 people. Therefore, even if there are [-] to [-] people, it looks empty. When passing through some courtyards, the inside looks a little barren.

"Tanhua?" Yang Huaihe looked at the buildings of the Guozijian for a while, and felt that there were not enough people, and more people should be admitted to study.Otherwise, the place is empty here, wouldn't it be a waste?This matter needs to be blown away by the Jijiu of the Imperial College first.

Lin Qian was obviously surprised that the emperor didn't call him by his name, but called him Tan Hua instead. Lin Qian was overjoyed and happy about this.

"The minister is here." Lin Qian replied respectfully.

"I ask you, is there any glorious scene in history where I went to study for thousands of people?" Thousands of people study, this, Yang Reform also has to say admiration, this is not the 21st century, in the [-]th century, It is said that the "international metropolis Paris" has only tens of thousands of permanent residents, and this university has ten thousand students. It must be said that the Ming Dynasty at this time is indeed called the kingdom of heaven and the center of the world. .

Lin Qian thought about it carefully, recalled it for a while, and then said solemnly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, no, throughout the ages, there has never been a dynasty as grand as ours. Ten thousand people attended the school, but..." Lin Qian still refused Talk about this kind of disguised selling of officials.

"Hehe, is Tanhua trying to say that these people are all here for the sake of being officials, that the court is selling out officials in disguise?" Yang Reform saw the old man's stubborn expression, and guessed what he was going to say, so he stopped talking in advance.

"This... back to Your Majesty, this minister dare not say..." Lin Qian's temper was a bit stubborn, but his mouth was not big, and he could clearly distinguish what should be said and what should not be said.

"Hehe... this, I understand, and I can also agree with your point of view, but even if you sell an official, you can't deny his glory back then, can you? You always have to look at two sides of things, not only seeing his bad side, Just deny him completely, and see his good side, his glorious side." Yang Reform began to fool the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine.

"...But, Your Majesty, this..." Lin Qian didn't know what to say for a while.

"Hehe, now that you've talked about his bad side, let's also talk about his good side." Yang Reform used the great method of deceiving, and tried his best to deceive him.

"...The good side, Your Majesty, the good side is just as His Majesty said, ten thousand people are enrolled, a rare occasion in history, and it is the pinnacle of teaching and educating people..." In fact, Lin Qian also thought about the teacher of ten thousand people. Addiction, back then, Confucius only had [-] disciples. If he had [-] students, to some extent, he would surpass the sage.

"Hehe, well, now that we know his bad side and also talked about his good side, let's talk about how to avoid the expansion of the bad side as much as possible, and try to make the bad side develop into the good side. , tell me, how to turn this matter of selling an official into a good thing..." Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is easy. I have thought about it. Although the Guozijian is now lenient, it must be strict. This teaching and educating people must not relax moral education. Only by educating students to be gentlemen can they be considered qualified. , so that the supervisors of the Guozijian can go out to serve as officials, so that the bad side can be controlled as much as possible and turned to the good side.” In fact, this has always been Lin Zhi’s thought.Now when the emperor asked, he said it without thinking.

Yang Reform was also surprised. You haven’t fooled yourself yet, so you will rush to answer. Originally, I wanted this Lin Qian to support me to let go of the Guozijian’s opening and step up to collect money. On the other hand, I narrowed down the conditions for becoming an official. Let this Guozijian collect money, but it will not get out of control and completely become a place for selling official positions at a low price.

"Tanhua, I love to hear your words. It's true to say that you are lenient and strict. The sage said that there is no discrimination in teaching." If you are willing to be positive, you must always give them a chance, right?" Yang Reform affirmed.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I also think so. I must strictly manage the students of the Guozijian, educate them to be gentlemen with outstanding literary talents and outstanding morals, and it is not in vain for them to come to the Guozijian..." Lin Qian was very happy. What I was afraid of was that the emperor would completely regard the Guozijian as a place to collect money and sell officials. Now hearing what the emperor said, Lin Qian had a bottom line in his heart.

"Well, very good, not bad, Tanhua, come on, I'm looking at you." Yang Reform thinks that the effect of this blowout is very good. In the future, the threshold of the Guozijian can be smoothly lowered. It's not a problem for some people to collect money.

……

"Your Majesty, the Xinke Scholars who are about to go to various places to serve as immigration officers, and the history students, are waiting for your majesty to summon you." Wang Chengen saw that the emperor's schedule was halfway through, so he also reminded the emperor of the purpose of coming here today.

"Well, see you then." Yang Reform has always wanted to cheer these people up, talk to them, and encourage them to do a good job in disaster relief.

……

Outside the Yilun Hall, there is a wide flat land, the middle one is paved with granite, and the two sides are grassland and forests. Today, the emperor will receive people here, and the Jinshi stands in the middle, and the two sides are full of eunuchs. All the students in the history are immigration officials, scribes, etc. who will be sent to various places.

As soon as the emperor Yang Reform appeared in the eyes of everyone, everyone reacted, as if they had performed a drill in advance, they knelt down neatly on the ground, saluted, and shouted: "We kowtow to our emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live! Long live." The voice is neat and loud, and the actions are neat and consistent, which is very interesting. Now that Yang Reform has been emperor for a while, he is used to this kind of scene, and feels that this is the treatment that an emperor should have, and he enjoys it very much.

Yang Reform walked to the Yilun Hall and said, "Pingshen." Then everyone stood up.

"Today, I came to see you all for one thing, that is, immigration and disaster relief. This matter is related to the life and death of millions of people in our Ming Dynasty, to the peace of our land in China, to our clothing and civilization in China. I hope that when you serve as immigration officers, handle and assist immigrants, you will be able to do your best and work together to handle this immigration disaster relief well..." Yang Reform said the most important thing at the beginning.

"... I know that some people have complaints in their hearts. They feel that if they are awarded a Jinshi, they have to make up for the main job. At worst, they can also be a county magistrate. As an official, why do they need to be such a suffering immigration officer? What I want to warn you is, "Heaven will send a great mission to the people, and you must first suffer from it, work your muscles and bones, and starve your body..." This immigration is indeed very bitter and tiring, but I want to say , This is definitely worth it, this is a huge melting pot for training people, you can exercise your own abilities, get rid of the dross, and what remains is the essence... You people will all be officials in the future, or Is it for a parent, or standing in the court, I believe that only those who fully understand the sufferings of the people can be a good official..., the kind of people who don't understand the sufferings of the people, and don't distinguish between grains and miscellaneous grains, I believe What is the use of him? I despise this kind of person. I hope that everyone can accept this test. First, they will solve the problems for the imperial court, solve problems for me, and bring a way of life to the people who are suffering from disasters. I believe that the people of the world will definitely be grateful to you, and at that time, you will understand me, and at that time, you will have a sense of accomplishment, and it will also be an unforgettable memory, and it will also be the wealth of your future life..."

"...I want to say that originally, the imperial court should treat champions preferentially, but I said that although champions should be treated preferentially, preferential treatment cannot ruin the future of champions, and preferential treatment does not mean that champions do not need to understand the sufferings of the people. The number one scholar will also be an official in the future, as the saying goes, 'Being an official does not know the suffering of the people, it is better to go home and grow rice millets'..." At this point, there was a burst of laughter among the crowd, the emperor's words were very slang, but very good understand.

"...So, I decided that this year Enke Yijia will also go down to the front line of immigration, and fully understand the suffering of the grassroots. I believe that this will be of great benefit to them when they become officials in the future. In the future, they will definitely be able to leave. farther..." Yang Reform took a few glances at the few standing in front of the granite floor, they seemed to be the champion, the second place, and the best of the best. It seemed that these people lowered their heads and couldn't see any opinions, but Yang Reform believes that these people will have complaints, and they have to calm down after a while.

"...I said 'never give up, never abandon'. As long as I am his emperor, I will not give up on any of my subjects. I have made such an ambitious wish, and it is up to you to fulfill it. On the way here, I heard shouts that shook the sky. I believe everyone has heard it. The common people are the most kind. If you give him a hope, he will give you everything. I hope you will not let me down, don’t let me break your promise In the world, don't let the common people despair in a desperate situation, I want to say, the people of the whole world are watching you, I am watching you..."

"...Among you, many of you are the students of the Guozijian. Many people look at you with prejudice, but I want to say that I don't have one. If I remember correctly, I walked out of the Guozijian at the beginning of the founding of the country. Local dignitaries, ministers of various ministries, and even cabinet ministers are not in the minority. Therefore, I want to say that the Guozijian is by no means the kind of place that everyone sees as dirty, where officials are sold and bought. How promising is it and where can it go? It depends entirely on one's own ability and one's own efforts. It is by no means inferior to others because of entering the Imperial College. The future of the Imperial College, hope, is also supported by you people. This emigration and disaster relief is a good opportunity. This emigration The disaster relief is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The difficulties we face are also unimaginable. , those who work hard and are willing to work hard will be promoted to officials immediately after the immigration work is successful. In order to encourage you to be brave in doing things and to work hard, you can also relax appropriately. In the past, you could only reach the fifth rank. I will open the door for you to make it easier for you to send it to the fourth rank. It is not impossible for the third rank. This depends entirely on you I have only one request, and that is to do a good job in this immigration disaster relief. I will tell you the same. I watch you, and the people of the world watch you. you……"

Yang Reform spoke for a long time in one breath, his mouth was dry, and he finally said what he wanted to express, which was nothing more than means of encouragement, encouragement, reward, promise, and moving.

In any case, the emperor's words touched many people. Some people felt quite resentful. After hearing what the emperor said, they became angry. Even the number one scholar would go down to become an immigration officer. There is no reason not to go. Moreover, the temptation given by the emperor is not so great. Even the unspoken rules of juren, which can only reach the prefect level at the highest level, are now being broken. I have to say that the emperor has made a big deal Those with less capital, not only the tens of millions of taels of silver, but breaking the unspoken rules of the fifth-rank magistrate with this single hand, is enough to make many people tempted, let alone those Jinshi who started as seventh-rank officials. , It should be infinite. Of course, the premise is that the immigration relief is done well. Also, the emperor’s meaning is very clear. If you don’t become an immigration officer now, you will not be able to go to court in the future. It’s not obvious, those who don’t participate in immigration relief will all go home, no, they will not be allowed to go to court, that is to say, at most they will be officials in the frontier, or local officials will stop them...

Of course, many of them really cared about the common people. After listening to the emperor's words, they became more confident and ready to do something.Be worthy of the king at the top, and be worthy of the people at the bottom, so as to realize the concept of self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace.

I don't know who took the lead in shouting the slogan. "Don't give up, don't give up..." The Jinshi and the students of the Imperial College also shouted. At first, they were afraid that the emperor would blame them, but when they saw that the emperor didn't say anything, they became bolder, and their voices also wavered. Higher than a wave, the shouts of thousands of people can be considered spectacular, blowing off a few leaves on the roof.

This lecture is finally over.Yang Reform was welcomed into the Yilun Hall to rest. This is where the emperor gave lectures. There was a special place for the emperor to rest and summon people. It was considered an office.

"Brother, go and select some representatives from the champion, second place, Tanhua, second best, top ten, and among the top three, I want to have a talk with them." Yang Reform decided to hold a small-scale symposium, Thoroughly stabilize the thinking of these people, as well as the emotions of the champion, second place, and Tanhua, these few people have to take care of them. If these few people follow the old system, they will give them a high starting point. Now we need to send someone else to Going outside is regarded as an outsider, which is a bit derogatory, so I have to calm my emotions.

……

"Your servants will kowtow to my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Not long after, the representatives Wang Chengen was looking for arrived.

"Get up." Yang Reformed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The crowd said again.

"Hehe, Zhuangyuan Lang, today, I made an issue out of you, I hope you don't mind!" Yang Reform said with a smile.

Liu Ruozai looked at the emperor who was younger than himself and had a delicate face, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, so he immediately said: "Go back to your majesty, I dare not, I have listened to your majesty's instruction, and I think it is very reasonable. You are young, as His Majesty said, you really need to practice more, and you will not forget the people and your roots when you become an official in the future. I am willing to serve as an immigration officer and fulfill Your Majesty's great wish of 'never abandon, never give up'..."

"Well, very good, very good, this is my champion. You go to the grassroots, to immigrant disaster relief. Originally, the imperial court owes you, so in terms of rank, it is not easy to be more demanding. The champion is still leading the imperial court. If you go down to the position of editing and writing in the academy, you will be the second place in the list, and you will be in the same position. The rank and grade will not treat you badly, so let’s still take the editor of the Imperial Academy..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En." When the three heard this, they were secretly delighted. They finally got something. At least the road was not blocked, at least they entered the Imperial Academy. This is the beginning of their careers in politics!Nowadays, all the ministers and cabinets are basically from the Hanlin Academy. If you don't enter the Imperial Academy, you will feel uneasy!

"Okay, no thanks, as the first class members of Zhen Enke, you also serve as a role model. During the process of immigration disaster relief, you must also bear hardships first and enjoy later, and assist Master Xu to complete this immigration disaster relief. This matter, this matter is serious enough to overwhelm my Ming Dynasty, I hope you can understand my heart..." Yang Reform had to reiterate the importance of this immigrant relief.

"I understand, I obey the order..." The three of them replied in unison.

Next, I had a conversation with the top ten of the second rank, the representatives of the third rank, and the Juren representatives. It was nothing more than encouragement, temptation, intimidation, and promises.

Among them, there are some people who knew Yang Reform very early, including Wan Huhou, Ye Gaobiao and others. They met the emperor before the exam, drank tea with the emperor, and asked the emperor about the exam. The topic, so, the relationship with the emperor is different. Today, Wang Chengen specially called them here again.

"Wan Huhou, I remember, you said that you want to be a general who has won thousands of households! But now, I see that you are also on the list of immigration officers! Why, don't you want to be a general?" Yang Reform has always wanted to get some literati into the army, but he also needs to be reliable, literati who are willing to endure hardships. He originally planned to start with this Wanhuhou, but he didn't expect him to release his own pigeons now.

Marquis Wan Hu twitched a lot, blushing, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that my father... my father really doesn't want me to join the army, and I have no choice but to obey my father because I was forced to do so. This... oh..." Wan Huhou was very embarrassed, his face was red and his neck was thick, as if there was something hard to say.

Xu Yifan liked to bicker with Wan Huhou the most at the beginning. Although he was in front of the emperor now, he still didn't restrain himself. Relying on his unusual relationship with the emperor, he said: "Your Majesty, Wan Huhou's father is forcing him to die. If he dares to join the army, His father threatened to kill him and show him..." When Xu Yifan broke the news, someone came out to stop him, but Wang Chengen knew the relationship between the emperor and these people, so he stopped him quietly.

"Hey..." Yang Reform was depressed and forced him to die?Then you name your son Wanhuhou?It's fun!Yang Reform is depressed. This matter seems to be dirty. It is not easy for him to intervene in this matter. It will kill people. people.
