Qiming 1158

Chapter 1419 Regardless of the academic level, the only thing is the number of points

Since the collapse of the Tubo Empire, the entire snowy plateau has reproduced the situation before the emergence of the Tubo Empire.

There are kings everywhere, short and brilliant.

There is no longer a unified military power that can cover the entire Qiangtang land with its own military power, and then radiate outward to compete with the Central Plains Dynasty for control of the Western Regions.

The population is sparse, the resources are scarce, it is not suitable for human survival, and there is no unified military power.

The combination of these characteristics determines that the Qiangtang land in this period has nothing but geographical advantages. Most of the people who still live here now read the mountains and chant scriptures in the Lhasa River Valley and live a Buddhist life.

Although the land of Qiangtang is also in Su Yonglin's plan, its importance has been greatly reduced, and it is basically the last piece of the map, which belongs to the top level.

If you want to win this place, you don't need to spend a lot of energy. A revival branch and an army are enough. They can't resist, and their mobilization and economic strength are not the same level.

In the current land of Hehuang, some merchants from the land of Qiangtang can occasionally be seen coming to trade with simple goods in exchange for some survival materials and a few luxury goods they need. Possibility of revitalization.

Sometimes nature is so ruthless.

When it is warm, it can make you suddenly burst into a powerful force, compete with the most powerful empire in the world, and make it disgraced.

When it is cold, without giving you even a little hope, the survival of the population becomes an intractable problem.

But that's fine, at least it didn't let Su Yonglin and Li Tang encounter an opponent who was almost entangled for life and difficult to completely subdue.

The emergence of a unified military power on the Great Plateau is a bit too embarrassing for the farming dynasty in the Central Plains.

From the end of October to the beginning of November in the ninth year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin, the General Staff Headquarters, the Privy Council, and the Military Affairs Department of the Renaissance Society held three future military conferences, basically setting the goals of the Ming Dynasty's military operations in the next stage, and the map of the next stage. The return plan is finalized.

The complete settlement of Dali, Western Liao, and South Vietnam is all in this five-year military plan.

Judging from the current production capacity and economic strength of Daming, it is not difficult to launch two large-scale wars and one small-scale local war to completely solve the three frontier issues within five years. As long as the storage and transportation of strategic materials are done well in advance, The military is basically flat push.

At that time, Su Yonglin's ideal of a perfect map will become a reality, and all of Daming's strategic difficulties will be resolved.

The only difficulty lies in the post-war governance and the cultivation of talents in the Ming state. These are problems that require a lot of energy to solve.

In terms of talent training, Su Yonglin's decision was to pay close attention to education and optimize the talent selection mechanism. When preparing to use the imperial examination to select officials, in addition to the written test, there will also be an interview.

In the entire education process, in order to prevent the cultivated talents from being separated from the masses and going to the sky, it is necessary to add sufficient agricultural production, industrial production and labor services, and let the cultivated talents feel the difficulties and hardships of production. Strengthen their class consciousness.

Learning culture and knowledge is for production, in order to build a better home and future, in order to improve one's own quality, not for the purpose of being the master, being high above, and being the so-called superior man.

Although it is still impossible to stop the emergence of corrupt officials and high-ranking people, it is by no means meaningless.

In fact, after this period of cleaning, Su Yonglin also did some reflections.

After the purge, he found that a considerable number of corrupt officials were young officials selected through the imperial examinations in the second year of Hongwu, the fifth year of Hongwu, and even the eighth year of Hongwu.

Young officials strode into the ranks of corrupt officials and degenerates, which made him begin to reflect on whether there was something wrong with Ming's education.

He took time to investigate the current public schools in Zhongdu, researching some curriculum arrangements and assessment standards in education, and finally found that some of the measures he had set in the early days for cultivating talents to keep them from being separated from the masses were ineffective.

For example, he required the university to arrange at least one agricultural production cycle practice for students every year, but in the practical operation, because the imperial examinations were all based on the examination results to select officials, these production links were regarded as useless links and perfunctory.

Judging from the current situation, there has been a situation of fractionalism in the entire education system of Zhongdu. Whether it is a candidate who is not a member of the Renaissance or a candidate who is a member of the Renaissance, almost all candidates regard the score as the most important existence.

Others don't pay attention at all.

A teacher from one school sighed to Su Yonglin that the current educational situation in the Ming Kingdom is that "no matter the academic level, the only thing is to compete for the number of points".

Su Yonglin was very annoyed by this situation, but at the same time he also noticed some effects caused by his long-term lack of energy in education.

For example, the political and legal schools in Zhongdu and the cadre training schools within the Renaissance Society, which have invested a small amount of energy, have neglected the basic education to a certain extent.

For example, the Ministry of Rites is currently responsible for the nominal management of national education affairs, while the examination department, which is nominally subordinate to the Ministry of Rites and is actually directly responsible to him, is in charge of the imperial examinations.

After the second major purge, Yelujin, who was the key man, gained Su Yonglin's trust, was promoted to Minister of Rites, and began to take full charge of education and examination affairs.

But in fact, the Ministry of Rites is not qualified to directly manage national education affairs.

Since the second major purge, the Ministry of Rites has actually become a similar department. The real management of school construction, student enrollment, educational content, and textbook management across the country is a consortium of three departments: the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Department of Examinations.

The Ministry of Finance is responsible for funding the construction of schools, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is responsible for population statistics and arranging students to enroll, and the Examination Department is responsible for preparing textbooks for the content of the exam and selecting teachers.

In actual operation, this mode of operation has a certain degree of confusion, and it is prone to unclear rights and responsibilities, but the final orientation is based on the examination content of the examination department.

In short, the direct purpose of this system is to train candidates who are suitable for the content of the test, and select qualified candidates according to the content of the test, and then recruit them to become officials and enter each system.

Under the leadership of this system, the selected talents do indeed have excellent professional ability. For example, the candidates for law and engineering are very professional, and their professional ability is absolutely excellent.

But some of them have ideals in their hearts, so the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom.

Four years after Hongwu, Su Yonglin's main energy was also on economic construction and military struggle. He did not pay enough attention to some internal problems, which led to many internal problems, and the biggest impact was the education level. The problem.

After discovering these problems, Su Yonglin deeply felt his mistakes and decided to carry out a series of educational reforms.

The first is to transfer all the powers and responsibilities of education to the Ministry of Rites, and then change the name of the Ministry of Rites to the Faculty of Rites.

All the responsibilities such as sacrifices and ceremonies previously in charge of the Ministry of Rites were transferred out and transferred to the Xuanhui Academy. In the future, the Xuanhui Academy will be responsible for carrying out related responsibilities.

The Faculty of Education fully assumes the responsibility for education and examinations, and divestitures other functions.

It consists of three departments: the School Department, the Education Department and the Examination Department, which are respectively responsible for school construction and administrative management, the formulation and management of educational content, and the formulation and management of examination-related regulations.

Yelujin was transferred from the Minister of Rites to the Minister of Education, and was still in charge of the examination department. The former left servant, Du Zhi, was in charge of the school department, and the right servant, Lang Zhuobei, was in charge of the education department.

Du Zhi and Zhuo Bei are both members of the Renaissance.

Although Yelujin was not a member of Fuxing, he was inextricably linked with the Skynet Army, and had been in charge of the examination department. He was a firm executor of Su Yonglin's will, and Su Yonglin trusted him very much.

Through this scale adjustment, Su Yonglin was able to straighten out the messy education situation, and he also had a clue of what to do next.
