Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 358 Zhu Gaoxuan: The way to govern the country is education first

Yao Guangxiao thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything to take it for granted, so he could only shake his head, clasped his hands and said, "I also ask the crown prince to enlighten me."

Zhu Gaoxuan said slowly: "Because of the prosperity of papermaking."

"During the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, the technology of papermaking was unprecedentedly developed, which greatly reduced the cost of learning knowledge for the lower class people. The aristocratic families happened to be in the weak period after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and they could not stop the progress of papermaking."

"The emperor of the Song Dynasty strengthened and consciously controlled the imperial power, as well as the decline of cultural and educational conditions to the disadvantaged classes and the expansion of the coverage of the imperial examination. There was no significant rise of a powerful new family to fill this gap. The era of the powerful family and the emperor shared the world during this period. It was finally contained."

"The papermaking technology of our dynasty surpassed that of the Song and Yuan dynasties. It can be said to be a master of history in terms of papermaking raw materials, technology, equipment and processing. The output, quality, use and origin of paper are also higher than any in the past. period was at a higher stage of development. At the same time, illustrated monographs dedicated to papermaking technology appeared, which was unprecedented in previous generations.”

"Education is an important factor that determines whether the political resources of a 'country' will be monopolized by the 'family'."

A sharp edge flashed in Zhu Gaoxuan's eyes, and he said, "The way of governing the country is education first. The way of education is school-based."

"This is what Emperor Taizu Gao once said. As early as 40 years ago, my grandfather had already thought of how to break the monopoly of the dynasty's political resources by the powerful gentry of the aristocratic family. The educational institutions at the national level are called Guozixue, and later changed to the current Guozijian.”

"Guozijian was not created by Taizu, but the education system of Ming Dynasty was established by my grandfather."

"The reason why my grandfather established such an education system is to insert a knife into the neck of the family and make the family bleed."

Yao Guangxiao couldn't help sighing: "Emperor Taizu Gao is really an outstanding man through the ages."

Taizu Gao Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, was a master of military, political, cultural, economic and other knowledge, and he was better than Xu Da and Lan Yu in using troops.In terms of strategy, he is better than Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong.He is better than Liu Bowen and Song Lian in governing the country.

Lao Zhu is the strongest hexagonal warrior in the history of the Ming Empire, but what humans can do, Zhu Yuanzhang can do.It can be called the ultimate combination of Zhu Di, Zhang Juzheng, Wang Yangming and other outstanding figures.

But Zhu Gaoyi shook his head and sighed: "But he failed."

"Even if my grandfather is such an outstanding person through the ages, he has not been able to truly open the door to the poor class. The top-down system of the Guozijian barely opened a window for the poor class, but failed to open the door. From reality In a sense, the education system of the Ming Dynasty, including the Imperial Academy and the Imperial College, which was initiated by Emperor Taizu Gao, is just a deformed product.”

"The education system that can really open the door for the poor is not from top to bottom, but from bottom to top."

"It's too late to make any changes now. Because the aristocratic families of the Ming Dynasty have already established a solid foundation, the new round of clan system once again imprisoned the channels of political resources, which is equivalent to giving a hand to the poor. Lock."

"And Gu, now I want to take off this lock!"

……

……

"The fish is dead and the net is broken!"

In the Yangzhou Fan family's mansion, the patriarch Fan slapped the table, and this old bone exploded with the enthusiasm of the young people, "Since the crown prince doesn't want us to live, then don't live!"

"Damn it, my Fan family is so fast that he will push me to the end. Since you don't give me Fan's family, then I will fight with you to the death. Don't even think about it!"

Elder Patriarch Fan waved his hand, his eyes widened angrily, "Yangzhou's government office is unreliable, and even Nanjing is unreliable, so I will do it myself!"

"Even if the old man is exhausting the wealth of the Fan family, he still has to recruit troops and buy horses, and leave you, the prince, in Yangzhou forever. Everyone, don't live!"

Ever since the young master of the Fan family was imprisoned, the elder patriarch Fan became more and more uneasy. He finally realized that it was impossible for him, a chess piece pushed out by Nanjing, to win the prince.

The prince's tactics were too cruel, somehow he got hold of the evidence against the eldest son of the Fan family, arrested, interrogated, and interrogated him quickly.Elder Patriarch Fan wasn't sure if the crown prince would use the same method to deal with him.

Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to fight to the death!
The Fan family has accumulated decades of background information in Yangzhou City. If the old patriarch Fan wants to fight the prince to the death, he might as well call hundreds of swordsmen and rush into the yamen to let the prince drink his hatred!
"Xiao Fan, you are too angry, it hurts your health."

Suddenly came this leisurely voice, and the old patriarch Fan was shocked, and suddenly looked sideways: "Who!"

He took a closer look, but saw an old man in a rough linen coat. This old man was tall and tall, with long silver-gray hair tied up with a white scarf, his chest was exposed, and a wine gourd was pinned to his waist. He looked very bold.

As far as the old man's attire is concerned, he is no different from ordinary people, except that his physique is really strong, and he looks stronger and stronger than the young man in his prime, but his silver-gray hair shows that the old man is older than the old patriarch Fan. Say only high not low.

The most noticeable thing is the old man's piercing eagle eyes, the corners of the eyes are raised, the pupils are black and white, and the majesty of the eyes makes one dare not look directly at them.

Seeing this old man, the old patriarch Fan recalled it for a while, it seemed that he looked a little familiar, and suddenly he was shocked, and quickly bowed his head respectfully: "Mr. Kong, it is Fan who is being rude. You came to visit Fan's mansion. Fan did not greet him politely, please forgive me."

Patriarch Fan is a representative jointly elected by the Fan family in Yangzhou, and even the seventeen families in Yangzhou.The officials from the Seventeen Families in Yangzhou have huge influence in Nanzhili and even the whole south, and their status is extremely high.

However, in front of this old man, the old patriarch Fan bowed his head, as if he was an old servant. It can be seen that this old man is a big man with all-hands and eyes, who can make a party of giants respect him.

The old man waved his hand: "Don't pay attention to this, you know, the old man never cares about these red tapes."

Patriarch Fan asked tentatively: "I don't know why Mr. Kong is here, why?"

The old Mr. Kong said with a smile: "The old man came to Yangzhou to persuade you to stop."

Patriarch Fan frowned slightly: "Fan is ignorant, please enlighten Mr. Kong."

The old man who is honored as Mr. Kong said lightly: "Since you asked, I will tell you frankly that the farce in Yangzhou has already become a turmoil, and enough is enough. I came to Yangzhou this time to persuade you that Yangzhou Seventeen Family, calm things down, bend over to that His Royal Highness, and everyone will be able to step down."

Elder Patriarch Fan clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Kong, it's too late. Yangzhou is already bleeding, and once it's bleeding, you can't hold back."

Mr. Kong said unhurriedly: "People are bleeding every day in this world, why can't you stop it when you come here?"

Elder Patriarch Fan lowered his head and said: "Because I bleed this time, the prince killed my eldest son who I had high hopes for, and my son was not successful that time. I only have two sons like this. If the prince wants me to die, how can I accept it?" hand?"

Old Mr. Kong frowned slightly: "Really can't hold back?"

Elder Patriarch Fan suddenly raised his head, his eyes were determined: "He killed my eldest son, but I have high hopes for him, and he will treat him as the eldest son of the successor. How can I let it go?"

Mr. Kong slapped a paper contract on the table.

"The title deed of Qinghua Building in Nanjing. Qinghua Building is the best place for business on the Qinhuai River. This paper title deed is worth more than a thousand dollars. If you accept it, everyone can live in peace."

Elder Patriarch Fan sighed: "My Fan family has accumulated decades of family business in Yangzhou, and I still don't lack this piece of land deed."

Old Mr. Kong smiled slightly: "Do you think this old man is negotiating with you?"

Old Patriarch Fan fell into silence. He looked at the land deed on the table and knew that this was the old man in front of him giving him a step down.

This is the step given to him by the Southern Sect of Kong, and he must step down.

Elder Patriarch Fan accepted the title deed silently, and asked back: "Mr., even if I am willing to let it go, will the crown prince let our Yangzhou [-] family go?"

Mr. Kong waved his hand: "It's not your turn to take care of this, the old man will go to him personally."

"If he is smart, he should know that there are some people he can't move."

"The emperor has been rotated every few decades, let alone just a prince."

……

……

The Yangzhou Canal is not weaker than the Qinhuai River.

As the night falls, a black curtain is rendered to the sky, and the lights along the coast and the cruise ships with bright candles are reflected in a golden sea under the reflection of the sparkling river.The sound of rustling rain makes this Jiangnan style even better.

In the painting boat on the river, Zhu Gaoxuan is drinking with Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister in black. The singer is playing the pipa and silk bamboo, and the dancer is dancing gracefully, showing her charming demeanor.

"Prince, someone is here."

Zhang Muzhi reminded in a low voice.

Zhu Gaoxuan turned his head and opened the bead curtain, but saw a small boat approaching beside the painting boat. On the boat stood a silver-haired old man, wearing a rough linen gown, holding an oil-paper umbrella to keep out the rain. Seems like a mortal.

"The contemporary head of the Southern Sect of Kong."

Yao Guangxiao said softly, "Since the fourth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Confucian temples were set up in all counties in the country. However, there are only two family temples enshrined by the eldest son: one is in Qufu and the other is in Quzhou. The descendants of the Confucian family are divided into north and south There are two sects, the northern sect is in Qufu, and the southern sect is in Quzhou."

"In the second year of Jianyan Song Dynasty, Kong Duanyou, the eldest grandson of No. 40, the eighth generation of the most holy master, Yan Shenggong Kong Duanyou led the Kong family to cross the south of Song Gaozong. Since then, the Kong family's southern sect has gained a firm foothold in the south."

"Relying on the legacy of Confucius, the Nanzong has developed rapidly in the southern provinces. In 300 years, the Nanzong has become the largest family in the south, and the clans and officials in all provinces have to bow to it. Although the decline of the Nanzong is not as good as that of the North Zong, but it should not be underestimated."

Zhu Gaoxuan chuckled, and waved to Yu Qian, who was serving tea and water, "It's interesting, Kong Sheng's bequest has raised two great families in the north and the south, one is domineering in the north, and the other is calling the wind and rain in the south."

"You go and ask him to come up, I want to see what kind of demeanor this descendant of the most holy master is."

Yu Qian bowed and said, "No."
