Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1561 Major National Policy

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, it is clearly stated in the back of the regulations that the county will add a county school. This county school is no longer just the same as before, only responsible for managing students, but directly opens a school to teach courses in various subjects. When a scholar enters school, what he studies is arithmetic and classics and history, and at the same time supplemented with some other knowledge. In three years or three years, the learning knowledge needs to be more complicated. You can choose a subject according to the different preferences of the scholars. This is a scholar. After the prefectural school is successful, you will continue to take the exam. If you are in high school, you will enter the provincial school Reading, knowledge becomes more complicated during provincial studies, you can directly choose subjects such as business, engineering, mathematics, medicine, etc.

   "If there are still people who want to study further, they can take the entrance examination of Xishan Academy. Ahem... Erchen thinks that if they can enter Xishan Academy, and they have excellent grades and are not eliminated, they can be Jinshi."

  To be honest, Fang Jifan was a little embarrassed.

  Of course, this is also the result of Xishan Academy's collective efforts.

  In the eyes of the deans and scholars of the academy, the academy is so powerful that it is not too much to give a Jinshi to those who can graduate here.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, and he looked up at Fang Jifan: "If all counties, prefectures, and provinces set up schools, and also specially hire professors and doctors to teach, the school buildings built, and various The cost of teaching must be expensive, right?"

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, education is the foundation of a country. It is obvious that a good talent can bring benefits to the court and Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I think that the Ministry of Rites should allocate some of this cost. In addition, the counties, Governments and provinces can also allocate some. In addition, there are tuition fees for students, which can be raised."

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed, with a somewhat helpless expression on his face: "Once Qing's memorial is released, I'm afraid it will shake the world."

Fang Jifan said sternly: "Your Majesty, for Your Majesty's sake, I will not frown even if there are mountains of swords and fires in front of my eyes. If I can die for the great Ming Dynasty, I will never regret it. I believe that the world today has come and must be changed." Your Majesty still remembers the management of that workshop? There are countless things involved in a workshop, but the world today is completely different from before. In the past, there were only officials and people, but now there are scholars, farmers, businessmen, and a hundred flowers blooming. There are countless classifications involved in a single industry and commerce. Does your majesty think that people who read scriptures and history alone can govern a party?"

Emperor Hongzhi was really touched by this. He understood Fang Jifan's meaning very well. In fact, judging from the memorials from various places, the memorials of parents and officials in many places made Emperor Hongzhi feel ridiculous, because these people were completely different. He didn't know anything about new things, but he talked a lot and made a lot of jokes.

Fang Jifan continued: "The so-called learning and excellence will lead to an official, but now the stereotyped selection of scholars, if what you learn, enters the official career, it will harm the country. My son, please think twice, if there is a disturbance outside, the scholars will continue to scold you." If my son wants to be this sinner, then my son will be this sinner."

  Emperor Hongzhi saw Fang Jifan's resolute look.

  In the past, Emperor Hongzhi and Fang Jifan were digging stereotyped corners together. Scholars feel pain, but the pain is only within the controllable range,

   But now... the corner of the wall is almost dug.

   It's time to see each other and send them to the crematorium.

  Emperor Hongzhi seems to be still weighing.

  He is well aware of the consequences of this matter.

   After all, he is the Son of Heaven.

  In the eyes of the Son of Heaven, there is no right or wrong, only pros and cons.

  Emperor Hongzhi certainly knew the harm of stereotyped writing.

  Keep Fang Jifan's statutes, there is almost no place for scholars who are stereotyped scholars, and they have completely extended the education model of Xishan Academy to the world.

  In the future, whether it is an official, a businessman, or a university student, there will hardly be a place for scholars who read stereotyped writing.

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, "I'll keep watching."

  He continued to read, there are a lot of strategies to encourage children to go to school, and there are placements for students...

Emperor Hongzhi looked at it carefully for more than an hour. Xiao Jing stood aside and changed one pair after another of tea. the hot tea, but Emperor Hongzhi still didn't touch it.

  Not only did he want to watch, but he also kept thinking about it in his mind.

   After reading the regulations twice, Emperor Hongzhi raised his head and gave Fang Jifan a meaningful look: "I'm thinking about one thing."

  Fang Jifan's feet were sore when he stood there. Finally seeing His Majesty making a movement, he suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes, and immediately said excitedly, "What is Your Majesty thinking?"

   "Hope!" Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan: "The hope that Wang Qing's family said."

  Fang Jifan: "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked very serious, and said: "He has always said that the foundation of education lies in hope. I want to understand what hope is."

  Fang Jifan probably understood the emperor's thinking, and said: "Your Majesty, it's like the imperial examination. Why do scholars take the imperial examination? Isn't it because they can be officials? Being an official is their hope."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Well, I understand. What you mean is that you want people to benefit from reading? Is there no other reason?"

  Fang Jifan thought for a while: "This..."

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "What is hope, the truth... I naturally understand a little bit, but... I still don't understand, or I don't understand deeply."

   "Otherwise..." Fang Jifan's mind turned quickly, he glanced at Emperor Hongzhi cautiously, and said, "Your Majesty asked some scholars to ask?"

  Emperor Hongzhi was amused: "Okay, I'm here to ask you, what are you studying for?"

  Fang Jifan did not expect that Emperor Hongzhi would be the first to ask him. He said without hesitation: "My son is studying for the sake of the country, of course, and my son is to repay the emperor's kindness."

   Well, very confident!

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Look, I asked you why you study, and you said it was to serve me. If I call other scholars to ask, I think they will answer in the same way."

  Fang Jifan: "..."

  Damn it, Your Majesty, you're just bragging.

  Fang Jifan immediately said: "Your Majesty, my son is different from other scholars."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand, and said in a meaningful way: "Your constitution is a big matter. I know it is beneficial to the court, but I still dare not make up my mind lightly. So... I still want to know what is hope. Of course I You have to ask those scholars yourself, but you can't invite them to the palace to ask them. Otherwise, the answer I get will be like Jifan's."

  Fang Jifan was a little anxious, he seemed to have misunderstood, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please listen to my minister's explanation."

  Emperor Hongzhi was happy: "You don't have to explain, I naturally know that you are studying to serve me."

  Although he said this, Fang Jifan still didn't believe it.

  However... Obviously, Emperor Hongzhi is still weighing, and he can't make up his mind.

  Abolishing the national policy that has been in place for many years, and it is still an ancestral system. This is almost the same as the imperial examinations in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is an unprecedented thing. How much resistance and destructive power it will cause, only God knows.

  Emperor Hongzhi had to be cautious.

He pondered and said: "A few days ago, there was a memorial saying that Wang Guang, the magistrate of Luzhou Prefecture in Nanzhili, was in office, and he was well-educated. Under his rule, the style of study was at its peak... I really want to see it. This Luzhou Mansion is only separated by a wall from Fengyang, the central capital, and I thought that such a big policy must be investigated, and I want to go to the central capital, in the name of offering sacrifices to my ancestors, to take a look."

   Touring Jiangnan?

  Fang Jifan did not expect that Emperor Hongzhi would have such courage.

   But thinking about it carefully, even though Taizu and Emperor Wen were here, they could go wherever they wanted, and the civil servants didn't care about it, and they didn't dare to do it. Since then, the emperor, because civil servants have more and more power to speak, will face a lot of resistance if they want to leave the palace. Therefore, if the emperor is touring around, he will inevitably be opposed.

  Now, the atmosphere is obviously much better, not to mention, it is still in the name of offering sacrifices to ancestors.

  Emperor Hongzhi had persistence in his eyes, and said: "I'm going to Luzhou Prefecture, and see how the prefect of Luzhou Prefecture is educated, and then make a decision."

  Fang Jifan said conveniently: "I don't know when your Majesty will leave?"

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Just these few days, it's better sooner rather than later. Qing and Wang Qing's family have also made preparations early, and they will inevitably bring you with them."

  Fang Jifan was a little reluctant to go. He went on tour with Emperor Hongzhi, and he was looking for guilt.

  At this time, Fang Jifan said again: "As for this charter, I will keep it secret for the time being. Yes, how many people participated in the formulation of this charter, or did Jifan come up with it alone?"

  Fang Jifan coughed: "Dozens of people participated, and they all belonged to my son..."

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

   "In advance, can I warn them not to disclose it?"

  Fang Jifan: "..."

  The two monarchs and ministers stared at each other, which means...

  Finally...Emperor Hongzhi understood everything: "Forget it, try the water temperature first. These few days, you stay in peace and don't add fuel to the fire."

   "My son obeys the order."

  Fang Jifan saluted disheveledly and left.

  Early the next morning, there was a decree, and Emperor Hongzhi wanted to go to Zhongdu to sue his ancestors.

   Baiguan didn't seem to have much reaction to this.

  Actually... everyone is used to it.

  Even if some people want to object in the name of wasting people's fat and people's anointing, if you think about it carefully, it seems that the money spent is not from the treasury.

   No matter!

  …

  The second chapter has been delivered, and there are at least two more updates, at least...another book by an old author, Magic Detective Agency, is very interesting, everyone can read it.
