I am the king of the dead

Chapter 581 Jingtai Sixteen Surnames

When Hu Wei heard His Majesty's worry, he could only sigh, not to mention Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Guizhou, and even in slightly remote places, there were very few scholars who were willing to go.

Zhu Qiyu rummaged for a while, took out the question book, and said: "In the early years of Hongwu, Emperor Gao opened up sociology to promote culture and education. In the 23rd year of Hongwu, sociology in various places has existed in name only."

"Ninety-nine percent of the private schools are built in the city. Judging from the information gathered by the farms from all over the country, the military students from the Confucian School of the Weisuo are the only ones who are willing to teach mud-legged people to read and write in the farms."

Zhu Qiyu's report was made by Yu Qian in conjunction with farms in various places. There are no school buildings in the farms in various places in Ming Dynasty. It is the military students from the Confucian school who are teaching these children to read and write.

Establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the living and the people, inherit the unique knowledge for the past saints, and bring peace to the world, sing high-profile, and shout slogans more positively than one.

The status quo of education in Ming Dynasty.

"I have an immature idea. Can we suspend the imperial examinations and reopen them in six years? Anyone who has not taught in the local area for more than five years will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examinations."

"If you go to border areas such as Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guizhou and Mongolia, the time will be shortened to three years." Zhu Qiyu asked tentatively.

Yu Qian immediately sat up straight and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. If the imperial examination is suspended and reopened in six years, where will the thousands of scholars in the Ming Dynasty go?"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is asked to think twice about this matter involving the imperial court!"

Hu Wei also shook his head again and again and said: "This matter is too aggressive. Your Majesty and the minister also think it is inappropriate. If the imperial examinations are suspended, the Ming Dynasty officialdom will immediately become a pool of stagnant water. There will be no living water. The government will collapse overnight."

Yu Qian and Hu Wei opposed this approach, because it involved the grand plan of the court. Suspending the imperial examination is not a trivial matter.

Yu Qian thought for a while and continued: "Your Majesty, a piece of bad meat is sticky and smelly. If you force it to go, these people must be dissatisfied. Instead, they will rot the roots of the big tree. If you go voluntarily, it will be completely different."

"Your Majesty, think about the Marquis Yuanhou who don't close their guards at night, no one has asked them to."

"This can be regarded as a sieve for His Majesty. Who can use it and who can't use it is clear at a glance. Why not do it?"

Yu Qian knew the emperor's fear of sour literati, and used this as an entry point to persuade His Majesty to withdraw his order.

For these sour literati to go to the countryside, it is better to let them stay in the city for romance. Under the initiative of the imperial court, those who are willing to go voluntarily, no matter from which point of view, must have Ming in their hearts.

Hu Min still wanted to speak, but Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand to interrupt Hu Min's words and said, "I've already said it, it's an immature idea, not to mention the imperial decree, it doesn't even count as an oral edict, you two don't need to be nervous."

"Scholars who go far to the frontier give a contract, a monthly payment of rice and a stone, how about a fixed salary at any time?"

The solution mentioned by Zhu Qiyu is to provide staffing and salary.

"Isn't it too much for one stone of rice given by the month?" Hu Wei said with some heartache: "According to the price of Tatar rice, the lowest price is one silver coin for one stone of rice given by the month. Silver coins can't beat it either."

"If there is a disaster year, it will be even more expensive."

Those of you in the Imperial Study Room are not people who don’t know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. It seems that they only give you a stone of rice, but actually sending it to these people requires at least two to three stones of administrative costs. If you add road construction disasters and other factors , it will be doubled.

"Hu Shangshu's worry is not unreasonable." Zhu Qiyu agreed with Hu's statement very much. It is really expensive to give one stone a month.

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment and made a decision, and said calmly: "As for the specific fixed salary, I will leave it to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Planning and Planning to discuss."

"I am full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but when I use it, I can't see a single person. If I am enthusiastic, why should I worry about it?"

"If you can't share your worries for the king, what's the use of reading more sage books?"

Many courtiers are silent, what His Majesty said is the truth, which is why His Majesty is always vigilant towards literati.

To teach in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guizhou and Mongolia is not something to lose your head, it is just a little bit of hardship, and you will complain a lot if you suffer a little bit.

What Ye Bu Shou does is the scouting job that loses his head, Sanqian Ye Bu Shou receives tens of thousands of people to sign up every time, and he can't get in Ye Bu Shou if he has no skills.

Can you blame the emperor for being prejudiced against sour literati?Don't give these sour literati a chance?

It's really that they don't live up to their expectations.

It's not that Zhu Qiyu can't help it, but as Yu Qian said, if this group of people went to the countryside, they might really damage the foundation of Daming, wagging their lips and tongues, and messing with Daming.

"Your Majesty, regarding the Tatars, they also need to be registered and compiled. I think, should they be changed to Chinese surnames?" Hu Wei broke the silence. Scholars are like this. If they are given rice, they still refuse to go. , then we can only suspend the imperial examination according to what His Majesty said.

Hu Wei mentioned another important event of Wanghua Tatar, changing his name and surname.

"Then let's change Bo'er Jijin's surname to a Chinese first, let's change it to a Yuan surname." Zhu Qiyu suddenly remembered the emissary of the Ottoman Kingdom with the surname Kang. Datang had done this kind of thing once before, and the effect was excellent. There are still people with the nine surnames of Zhaowu in Ming Dynasty.

Hu Yi took out a memorial book, filled in a Chinese character under Bo'er Jijin's family name, then handed the memorial book to Xing'an and said: "I have set sixteen surnames for the Eight Leagues of the Tatar tribes, please Your Majesty Zhu batch."

Hu Yi always had a submissive heart, and changed the surname of Bo'er Jijin, that could only be done by His Majesty, if he wrote it in advance, it would be arrogance.

Since Hu Wei proposed, he was naturally prepared. What the Tatars are called in ordinary times is not under the control of the court, but in Ming Dynasty they only had Chinese surnames and Chinese names.

Zhu Qiyu took it over and looked at it. Zhu approved Hu Min's memorial. Hu Min never talked nonsense and did what he said.

"Jingtai's sixteen surnames." Zhu Qiyu looked at it for a while and returned the memorial to Hu Wei.

Mongolian is a phonetic text, to be precise, only pronunciation, which will cause great inconvenience.

Zhu Qiyu knew that the later generations of Japan, Korea, North Korea, Vietnam and other countries have carried out a large degree of de-Chinese characters, that is, the phoneticization of Chinese characters.

This simplification has led to a very serious social problem, that is, there are too many people with the same name.

On Korean ID cards, names in Chinese characters must be marked for distinction. In the 21st century, many Koreans are still working on restoring Sinology education, because phonetic characters are too inconvenient.

Of course, Koreans read Sinology as Hanxue, and call Chinese characters as Hanji, which is the unique stubbornness and shamelessness of Koreans.

Changing the name and surname is not a small matter, but it is not difficult. This generation may find it difficult to accept, but after three or five generations, the long and vague phonetic names will naturally disappear.

This is also part of the road to become king of Ming Dynasty.

"Where are we talking, let's continue." Zhu Qiyu handed the memorial to Xing'an and continued the discussion.

The discussion about the kingship of Tatars was still going on, and Zhu Qiyu stopped the discussion about the kingship of Tatars until almost noon.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the heavy memo and said: "Let Tuo Tuo Buhua's eldest son Tuogu come to Beijing, and give Tuogu a copy if he is involved in Tatar affairs in the future, and let him give a memorial to express his thoughts."

"The sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is the greatest. Listening to both will make you bright, and partial belief will make you dark."

Many courtiers bowed their heads and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Everyone, Zhu Jianji, the eldest son of the emperor, and Zhu Jianshen, the king of Ji, will have a school exam today. Come and listen." Zhu Qiyu motioned for everyone to calm down.

"Prince Xuan and King Ji will see you." Xing An shouted with a flick of his fly whisk.

Zhu Jianji and Zhu Jianshen had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and when they heard the news, they stepped into the Juxian Pavilion.

"See Your Majesty, does your Majesty bow to you?" Zhu Jianji and Zhu Jianshen bowed their heads and saluted.

Zhu Qiyu raised his hand and said: "There is no need to be too polite. I left you a topic yesterday. Recently, Samarkand will be divided into two cities, and Wala will live in a separate city. Please speak freely about the pros and cons of this move."

The news from Samarkand, of course, came from Wang Fu, and Duke Ming who was sitting here knew of Wang Fu's situation.

When Zhu Jianji got the secret report, he already understood it completely. When he sorted out the details yesterday, he thought for a long time about what position he should stand to discuss this issue.

"I believe that this matter is more beneficial than harmful to Wala and Daming." Zhu Jianji said quite firmly.

Zhu Jianshen shook his head and said, "For Wala, the harm outweighs the benefit, and for Daming, the benefit outweighs the harm."

The Qian family returned safely to the Prince Ji's Mansion yesterday. Although Zhu Jianshen didn't know what happened, he knew that the Qian family had not achieved his goal, so everything in the Prince Ji's Mansion would have to be guarded by Zhu Jianshen from now on.

Zhu Jianshen can't help but read, read, write, and argue right and wrong. He must show enough value in order to keep Ji Wangfu.

Zhu Jianji heard that Zhu Jianshen said that Oala did more harm than good, and he disagreed with him, so he immediately said: "Cousin, as far as the Mongolian expedition is concerned, whether it is the Golden Horde, the Ilkhanate, or the Chahar Khan Turkification has occurred to varying degrees in the country, and Genghis Khan’s code has been replaced, besieging cities and enclosing land, and isolating the law of partition and rule can prevent this Turkization.”

Zhu Jianshen immediately asked: "Cousin, Turkicization, is it not a correct choice for the Oirats? Go to the country and do as the Romans do. Wala is an outsider after all. If you refuse to go to the country as the Romans and enjoy yourself alone, you will end up following Hu Yuan's old road. That's all."

Zhu Jianji said with a sneer: "Then why should I call it Khan? Just call it Sudan. Don't call it Wala, just call it Turkic. Why should we distinguish between the same language, the same kind and the same method? Rituals and laws are chaotic, the world is in dispute, and the people are suffering." .”

"Only for Oala, the left is assimilated by the Ming king, and the right is assimilated by the Turks. This is the case when you go west, and it is the same if you don't go west. Isn't it Bai Xijin?"

Zhu Jianshen immediately replied after hearing the words: "Can the method of partition and rule really stop them from Turkicization? It can indeed be stopped in ten or 20 years. What about 100 years, 200 years, and finally Turkicization? It's futile."

Zhu Jianji waved his hand and said: "It varies from time to time. At this time, Wala just wants to survive. The method of dividing and conquering is the most effective. After all, Wala is just a group of robbers. If it is not divided, the horses will be sent to Nanshan, disarmed and returned to the fields. There is no need for cavalry scimitars." Shock and awe won’t last for 100 or 200 years.”

But Zhu Jianshen said seriously: "Divide and conquer, will we be able to guarantee Oirat's military superiority? In less than ten years, the Oirats must still be extravagant and lazy. Will they still be able to ride horses and hold swords?"

"Military rule and the law of partition are not directly related."

Zhu Jianji thought for a moment before he said: "No matter how strong the city wall is, no matter how sophisticated ordnance, no matter how perfect the battle formation is, the first prerequisite is people. It is people guarding the city wall, firing arrows and guns, and it is people Before firing the cannons, Rome will perish before you say that military affairs and the law of partition have nothing to do with each other?"

"Then Rome was opened by slaves, and Constantinople was captured by the Ottomans. It's only been two years, cousin has forgotten?"

Zhu Jianshen was dumbfounded for a moment. It was his first time arguing with Zhu Jianji. The two of them didn't have a draft.

But Zhu Jianshen thought about it for a while, and was about to speak, but Zhu Qiyu said: "Okay, what you said is good or bad for Wala, so how do you say that it is more beneficial than harmful for Daming?"

Zhu Qiyu's words were actually a bit off-putting, Zhu Jianshen was clearly inferior, but Zhu Qiyu said everything was fine.

Zhu Jianji was obviously a little unconvinced, but his own father said it was just as good, and he could only accept this result.

What Hu Wei said is quite right. In the future, such incidents of the emperor's partiality will inevitably be unavoidable, and he will learn to accept it.

Zhu Jianji said solemnly: "Divide and rule, and we must not be of one mind and one mind. All that Wala has done today is to make a wedding dress for Daming."

"The Western Regions are lonely, and there are very few acres of cultivated land. As long as Daming opens up the trade route to the Western Regions, the Western Expedition of the Ming Dynasty is inevitable. Samarkand is the bridgehead, and Wala is the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty, the pioneer army of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Jianji hesitated to speak, paused for a moment and said: "I know this first, and I have to agree to divide and conquer. The first thing he has to do is to survive."

Zhu Jianshen took a look at Zhu Jianji and said: "The minister thinks that the benefits to Daming outweigh the disadvantages, because the benefits come and go in this world, and Wala seeks to survive, so the trade roads will be smooth, and the northwest border of the Ming Dynasty will no longer be a burden. Heavy taxes and labor, Every year on the three sides, nearly one million shi of grain is no longer a waste of state money, and it only goes in and out, and this is for the benefit of Ming Dynasty."

"I know this first, and I have to do it. They have to live first."

Zhu Qiyu is quite satisfied, especially seeing Zhu Jianji, the more satisfied he is, the kid knows how to advance and retreat, Zhu Jianshen said, Zhu Jianji is not ignorant, but Zhu Jianji said, Zhu Jianshen can only say that I am the same.

Zhu Jianji's pause is well-founded.

No matter how sideways the fight was, Zhu Jianji had already won a round, so there was no need to chase after him.

The youth's temperament is mostly competitive, and he seldom thinks of taking a step back, but it is precisely this step that Zhu Jianji has taken a good measure of.

Concubine Hang Xian is extremely opposed to Zhu Jianji's struggle, which is Zhu Jianji's own thinking and on-the-spot reaction.

"Xing'an, reward!" Zhu Qiyu smiled at Zhu Jianji and said, "Ji'er, you did a good job."

"Thank you for your praise." If Zhu Jianji wants to win, he must not only win Zhu Jianshen, but also Zhu Jiancheng, and even his father. The result is not important, but his father's respect is important.

Fighting for victory, how to fight, Zhu Jianji's heart is like a bright mirror.

"Ru'er is also right, very good." Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Jianshen with a complex expression, if Zhu Jianshen was an idiot and foolish king, Zhu Qiyu would kill him, but it's a pity that this is a unicorn.

"Uncle Xie for your praise." Zhu Jianshen bowed his head and saluted, heaved a sigh of relief, and gave Zhu Jianji a thankful look. Just now, he was still at war with each other, and the verbal dispute was quite sharp. The second question asked Zhu Jianji to take a step back. It was beyond Zhu Jianshen's expectation.

"The third question." Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile: "I heard that Wang Fu was first given a pair of gold cups and a golden knife. What's the meaning?"

Zhu Jianji and Zhu Jianshen looked at each other. They didn't know there were these two things. It all depended on their reactions.

"Bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Zhu Qiyu signaled Xing'an to take the Four Treasures of the Study, and asked them to write down the answers.
