Qiming 1158

Chapter 620
After hearing Su Yonglin say that he started to oust eunuchs, Tian Guizi certainly felt that he should not object, but he felt that he still had to say some things, so as to avoid Su Yonglin's ill-consideration.

"There is no housekeeper, the affairs of the inner palace... Are all women used?"

Tian Guizi frowned: "Alang, although I shouldn't say this, it is not unreasonable to choose eunuchs in the past dynasties. I read before and read that there were emperors who were unwilling to use eunuchs, so they chose female officials in the inner palace.

It was fine at the beginning, but after a long time, the female officials in the palace lived a closed life, and it was easy to become lonely.

Once they have an affair, they can't keep their mouths shut, and it is easy to reveal the secrets of the palace ban, which is not conducive to the security of the palace. Therefore, in the end, all dynasties still chose eunuchs to serve the royal family. "

"Of course I know, but what secrets can my court have? I don't plan to take a concubine. There are only two people in the family... there are almost three. What secrets are worth leaking? My unborn child wets the bed? This What kind of?"

Su Yonglin smiled.

Tian Guizi was a little surprised.

"You... don't plan to take a concubine?"

Su Yonglin nodded.

"Well, I don't plan anymore. I will focus all my energy on governing the country, and I don't have so much time to deal with too many women, and I have a strong relationship with the Queen. The Queen has paid too much for my career, and I have to repay her. ."

Tian Guizi nodded slowly when he heard the words.

"That's it."

"And have you forgotten my aspirations? I don't plan to inherit any throne at all, and I don't have any rigid demands on children, so there is no need for concubines.

There are not too many women in the inner palace, so there are no disputes. If there are no disputes, there can be fewer people to serve. Just like ordinary people, some maids and some servants are enough, save some things, save some money, and put more Money and energy are put on state affairs. "

After hearing Su Yonglin's words, Tian Guizi's admiration for him increased to a higher level.

At the same time, he also thought of an important question.

"Alang, since you said that, I have something to tell you."

"what?"

Su Yonglin put down the pen.

"Our group of old brothers are not too young now. There were many wars before, and there was no time. Now the time has come, you are also married, can they also marry."

When Tian Guizi talked about this matter, Su Yonglin slapped his head.

"Oh, I really forgot when I was busy with this matter! That's right, it's a big deal, but they can't let it go."

Su Yonglin stood up and walked to Tian Guizi's side, pondered for a while, and said, "I don't want them to marry those old bureaucrats and old gentlemen. When they get married, it's easy to get into trouble, but ordinary people don't have good-looking daughters. The current mood is probably not worth it.

That's why I thought, Guizi, didn't we capture all the female relatives of the dignitaries in the Jin Kingdom before?They are all undergoing reform through labor. In this way, you are responsible for this matter. Choose among the young, uninvolved, and unmarried noble girls, find some good-looking girls, and arrange a blind date for them. "

Tian Guizi blinked and asked, "Can this work?"

"I think it's okay. After all, she is a powerful woman. She must have read books and education, and her appearance and figure will not be bad, so I think there is no problem in this regard."

Su Yonglin said in a low voice, "What's more important is that they are no longer entangled, and their ties have been cut off by us, so there is no force behind them, and there will be no involvement, this is very important, isn't it? "

Tian Guizi thought for a while, and felt that what Su Yonglin said made sense.

"Indeed, from this aspect, it is indeed appropriate, but I don't know if they have similar ideas."

"Actually, I didn't plan to let them work all the time. When the time comes, I can let them go. When the time comes, the extravagance will be polished off, and the heart to live in peace will be left. There are so many outstanding young men in our army, with They're pretty good too, don't you think?"

Su Yonglin shared his thoughts and details, and got Tian Guizi's approval.

"Since that's the case, then I'll prepare and explain the truth to them. There's a knife at the beginning of the color, so they have to pay attention."

Tian Guizi nodded: "Then Alang, the problems on our side are easy to solve, we are all people in the army, and there are not so many taboos, but the problems on your side... I am afraid it is not so easy to solve, you don't want eunuchs, I guess There are many people who are happy, you don’t want a concubine, it is estimated that it will be different, you are the emperor now, and everything will be involved.”

"I know this, and I don't plan to force others to follow me, nor will I force them not to take concubines. They are willing to be the best, and I won't interfere if they don't want to. I also don't plan to do it in one step.

But Guizi, it is imperative that women go out to work in the future, and it is inevitable that there will be more work that women can do in the future, just like what we did in Tai'an, I will never stop. "

Su Yonglin said: "The so-called men farming and women weaving are just an ideal idea. It is not correct for the country to forcibly lock half of the labor force at home, so that they can only work as agricultural assistants, or support husbands and children. I feel that this aspect must be changed, starting with the revival."

The situation in Tai'an made Su Yonglin sure that it was not that women couldn't go out to work, as long as they gave money and had income, the farmers who accounted for the absolute majority of the population would never let their women go out to work.

There are still many women working in some workshops in Tai'an Prefecture. Many families will try their best to send their daughters to work in the workshops to earn money. The workshops pay daily wages, so it means that you can see real money every day.

How could the farmer be unwilling?
As for other city girls and girls from big families, they only make up a minority of the population. When the majority completes the transformation, the minority is not so important.

"I know, I will find a time to hold a meeting in this regard, starting with the revival members, take your time."

Tian Guizi nodded and accepted Su Yonglin's order.

After Tian Guizi left, Su Yonglin decided to summon Kong Zheng, Minister of Rites, Zhou Jiang, Yelu Jin, and all the officials of the entire Ministry of Rites Scientific Examination Department, and called them all to decide the content of the first imperial examination.

Everyone in the Ministry of Rites knew that it was impossible to maintain the content of the previous examinations based on the Five Classics, so they could only lower their expectations and prepare to accept that the emperor mixed some strange things into the imperial examinations.

Sure enough, the first thing Su Yonglin wanted to include in the imperial examination was "Xunzi".

"Xunzi has a lot of wise sayings. I like it very much. The great Confucianist should also have a place for Xunzi. Song Confucianism is pedantic and does not accept Xunzi. In the new dynasty and new policies, the imperial examination should be the first, and the acceptance of Xunzi should be the first. In addition to poems, books, rituals, and Yi Chunqiu, "Xunzi" must also be added."

Su Yonglin made a final decision and decided that in addition to the traditional Five Classics, the Confucian classic "Xunzi" should be included as the content of the exam.

Officials of the Ministry of Rites, look at me and I look at you, all with bitter faces.

The imperial examinations had a lot to do with each other, and the changes in the content of the examinations affected the whole body. Not only other scholars, but also their own children would face serious problems with this change.

No one has ever studied Xunzi, and some people are just dabbling in a little bit, and have not studied it intensively. If you really want to add Xunzi to it, if you can't control the number and proportion of questions, you will have a big problem.

However, this is not enough, Su Yonglin still has ideas.

"In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examinations were full of flowers, including Mingjing, Junshi, Jinshi, Mingfa, Mingzi, Mingshu, First History, Three History, Kaiyuan Rites, Daoju, etc. All-round inspections of scholars were conducted, and most of them were selected at one time. Junjie.

In the early Song Dynasty, the practice of the Tang Dynasty was followed. However, when Wang Anshi was in power, only one subject of Jinshi was set up in the imperial examination. Test the meaning, theory, and strategy of the scriptures, and the palace test only tries one strategy.

Doing so will certainly help Wang Anshi to implement the reform strategy, but the selection of talents has fallen into the inferior position. Could it be that governing a country can only be accomplished by relying on the classics and the Five Classics?Kong Butang, tell me, is this appropriate? "
