The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 308 The Beginning of the Great Ming Reform
Liu Sanwu never dreamed that a plan that had been planned for a long time would disappear so abruptly.

His Majesty the grandson, he doesn't play cards according to common sense, he uses righteousness to suppress me.

This righteousness is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

Everyone knows that what His Majesty cares most about is the dominance of the Han people, because the relationship between the Yuan Dynasty and the current situation can be said to be very tense.

After nearly a century of Yuan Dynasty rule, officials, common people, gentry, and even Mongolian language are much more proficient in most places than Chinese.

Especially the older generation, who were almost all born under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, came into contact with a completely different environment. This influence cannot be eliminated all at once.

Fortunately, 25 years have passed since the Ming Dynasty, and almost all the younger generation have grown up. Those born at the end of the Yuan Dynasty have no memory of the Yuan Dynasty.

The only ones with souvenirs can only be the gentry and landlords who have benefited greatly from the Yuan Dynasty.

Under the peasant uprising, these people have been unable to affect the overall situation.

The scenes of the court just now appeared in Liu Sanwu's mind. At this time, the situation is irreversible. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Zhang Xin, Bai Xinwu, and even the colleagues of the Imperial Academy, as well as the civil servants.

There is no initial self-confidence, only the luck of the rest of the life.

This is His Royal Highness Taisun. If His Majesty is allowed to mobilize, I am afraid that in today's inner city of the capital, every family will be destroyed.

"The minister has been old for a long time, and His Royal Highness will not give up. I am very happy to be able to help His Highness compile books related to the imperial examination. I will definitely devote myself in the future and dare not slack off in the slightest."

Liu Sanwu sighed slightly in his heart, then suppressed his emotions, bowed and replied loudly.

"With Liu Hanlin in charge of this matter, I believe that it will be completed sequentially."

"The matter of the imperial examination is naturally better sooner rather than later. Grandpa and grandson think that this matter should be started immediately and completed one day earlier. For the students, it will be an extra day of learning."

"For Ming officials, it is also possible to fill in the gaps that may be missing."

After Zhu Ying finished speaking to Liu Sanwu, she suggested to the old man.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and replied: "Dasun's words are justified, that's the case. This matter has been decided early today, and the compilation of imperial examination books will start immediately. This matter will be fully entrusted to Dasun."

Zhu Ying bowed and said: "Thank you, Grandpa, but my grandson still has some different ideas about the compilation of the imperial examination books on this matter. For this compilation work, my grandson would like to ask my grandfather to issue a notice to the world, calling on the world's learned people to work together. participate."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled and said, "Isn't it enough for dozens of scholars from the Imperial Academy?"

Zhu Ying shook her head slightly, and said: "In my grandson's opinion, the work related to the compilation of imperial examinations, not to mention dozens, is hundreds, and thousands of people are required to participate together."

"Besides, grandson thinks this time, not only on the more esoteric classics, but also on some books about Tongsheng."

"From the beginning of enlightenment to the imperial examination, this whole set of books should be compiled and completed. The knowledge involved in it is not just Confucianism."

"Algorithms, history, politics, law, construction, imperial archery, etc., will all be included in the branches of the imperial examination, and officials who have long-term contact with the people must also be strictly controlled."

"Only in this way can the literati from the Ming Dynasty onwards have a long history and prosperity."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't expressed his position yet, and the court officials below had already exploded.

His Royal Highness Taisun's move can be said to be a thorough reform of the ancient and modern imperial examinations.

Such as Shang Yang's reform and Wang Anshi's reform, it can be said that they have been planned for a long time, earth-shattering, and involve the interests of an unknown number of people.

But now, His Royal Highness Taisun just brought it up in an ordinary court meeting in such a grand manner.

Whoever hears this, his heart is churning like a sea wave.

For literati, this can be described as a major event involving the world.

Originally, in the eyes of everyone, His Royal Highness Taisun meant to ask Liu Sanwu to help with a few books related to the imperial examination.

There are not many such things, but they are also common. The kings of all dynasties will more or less pay more attention to the books of the imperial examination.

But now it sounds completely different.

What kind of arithmetic, isn't that a job for a merchant's accountant to learn?

History, that is a book that only the censor can come into contact with.

Politics, what is that?
Is it to teach the children how to be an official?

The law, this is a knowledge that can only be learned if you go to the Ministry of Punishment.

Construction is nothing but the handicraft work of craftsmen. Do you want to become a craftsman if you take this in the imperial examination?
And Yushe.

The so-called six arts of a gentleman are rites, music, imperialism, mathematics, calligraphy, and archery.

It has long been outdated now. As the saying goes, everything is inferior, and only reading is high.

Where are those things needed?

All of a sudden, the officials in the court hall, even disregarding the etiquette of the court meeting, started talking one after another.

With a look from Zhu Yuanzhang, he suppressed Liu He who was just about to shout 'Quiet'.

He just wanted the courtiers below to have a good discussion and see what kind of result the discussion could produce.

Regarding this matter, Dasun told him a long time ago about the reform of the imperial examination.

This time Dasun proposed that it was also a good time to see the officials' views on this matter.

It can be clearly seen that Dasun's previous invitation to Liu Sanwu to compile a book was just a cover, and the real focus was still on the examination of the imperial examination.

It is not difficult to see that most of the ministers currently have great opposition to this matter.

Not only the ministers stood up to speak out, but also their demeanor and tone, as well as their reaction to the matter, all of which could be clearly expressed.

Because currently standing in the court hall, it can be said that more than [-]% of the officials, from another perspective, these are the Beijing officials who have come into contact with the highest level of the entire Ming Dynasty.

None of them said that they passed the imperial examinations to become officials. Most of them achieved it by relying on their ancestors to hide their shadows, or local officials promoted filial piety.

The current imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty, except Enke, are held once every three years, and only about 100 people can obtain the Jinshi position every year.

And most of these officials have gone to the localities.

Then slowly come to the capital.

That is to say, the candidates for imperial examinations accounted for only [-]% of the entire officialdom.

But now, according to His Highness Taisun's intention, the door of the imperial examination is to be opened. With so many categories, it is obvious that the number of talents recruited will be greatly improved.

This is not the result that the current officials want to see.

It was only when the eyes of the officials gathered on Liu Sanwu or several ministers.

But it didn't get much reaction.
