Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 560 Second-hand ones generally have problems

"You mean, besides the books of sages and sages, scholars have to learn something else?" The crown prince looked pale.

"As expected of a big brother!" Zhu Zhen immediately offered a rainbow fart: "It's really smart, and you can understand it at any point."

"Don't put a high hat on me." The prince scolded with a smile, and then said seriously:
"Speaking of this, my eldest brother won't tell you anything. The imperial court's selection of scholars is not only for the selection of talents, but more importantly, it is to give talents from all over the world a chance to rise. Put their ingenuity and all their energy into Tie it firmly to the road of the imperial examination, so that the world will not be prone to chaos."

"That's why Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said happily when he saw the world's most successful candidates entering the palace to take the examination." He sighed softly and said, "Now you understand, for the sake of world peace, the imperial examination cannot be stopped. , You have to recover sooner or later. But scholars can only read sage books, if you test them with other things, they won’t do it.”

"If you don't know how to study." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "Anyway, the imperial examination will not resume within a few years, and they still have time to learn a major."

After a pause, he played his trump card again and said: "My brother heard from Mr. Liu that the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty included not only Jinshi subjects, but also Ming Jing, Ming Fa, Ming Zi, Ming Suan and other subjects. Since my father regarded the restoration of the Tang system as a Lord, why didn't you learn from the Tang Dynasty in the most important talent ceremony?"

"Is this what the imperial examination was like in the Tang Dynasty?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said: "That seems to be the case, but at that time we heard from Mr. Song and others that in the Tang Dynasty, the Jinshi examination was the most respected, because the other subjects It's too simple, and it's hard to bridge the gap, so all the real talents go to the Jinshi examination.

"So later on, the Jinshi examination became synonymous with the imperial examination, and the other subjects were useless, so there was no need to take the detours of the past, and only set up the Jinshi section."

"Father, they were deceived by them." Zhu Zhen sneered. He had discussed this issue with Liu Bowen many times, and it was natural for him to have a clear understanding of it.Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di listened to his talk:
"Jinshi is indeed the most important subject in the Tang Dynasty, because it is the most difficult and the most valued. But to say that the other subjects are not important, and there are too few applicants, is purely a literati's bad intentions——

"I have made statistics with the teacher. In the entire Tang Dynasty, the Ming Jing Department had the largest number of applicants and admissions. Officials from the Ming Jing Department far surpassed the Jinshi Department. How can this be said to be in vain?
"Also, the Ming Law Department mainly examines legal knowledge and selects judicial talents. In addition to being familiar with laws and regulations, candidates must also use these laws and regulations to handle ten specific cases. Judicial talents who can pass both theory and practice can be selected. How can you say it is not important? Woolen cloth?

"Another example is the subject of computing, which mainly examines the knowledge of mathematics and astronomy. The emperor must have a deep understanding of how important it is to select officials who are proficient in calculations, so there is no need for my ministers to talk too much." Zhu Zhen sighed: "Dare to say that these two subjects It doesn't matter, it's either stupid or bad."

"How could they be stupid? They are the smartest people in the world." In Zhu Yuanzhang's words, there was already a murderous intent permeating the air.

"But this issue is too big, let's not discuss it today." But after a second thought, he stopped talking.The emperor, who had long been accustomed to controlling everything, did not want to be led by the nose, even his own son.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled at the sixth child and said, "I'll ask you to talk about this matter after we know more about it and have a charter in mind."

"Yes, father." Zhu Zhen replied softly, now there is no hope that such a big matter can be persuaded to move the old thief once.Maybe the teacher will have to step in and lobby repeatedly in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and finally asked: "How much manpower do you think is needed to implement the New Deal across the country?"

"Quite a bit." Zhu Zhen thought about it and said, "The available manpower is almost all in Jiangxi. If we want to implement it nationwide, it must be at least ten times more?"

"Is there so many?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has suffered from the lack of talents, and he is still troubled by this problem.

"Then what if the time limit is extended, for example, five years to succeed?" The prince asked, "Can we reduce the number of people by half?"

"That's more or less the same meaning, but brother, it actually takes the same amount of time to train 5000 people as it does to train 1 people." Zhu Zhen said softly: "The Yellow Book is rebuilt every ten years, so it is still necessary to train a strong professional team. . Even in normal times, these people are much more powerful than those who just pretend to be useless."

"1 people..." Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help fantasizing that if there were such a professional team of tens of thousands of people at his command, then his control over the Ming Dynasty would be unprecedented in history.

"Will it take the same time to train 5000 people and 1 people?" The prince asked softly.

"This is the function of the school." Zhu Zhen replied: "It is difficult to go from zero to one hundred, and it is also difficult to go from one hundred to one thousand, but as long as the school's education system is established, the thousand talents are the seeds. , as long as the soil is sufficient, tens of thousands of fruits can be produced."

"We thought so at the beginning, but the people in the Imperial College, alas, are in a mess, and they speak nonsense..." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "How many years have passed, and they still haven't taken up the responsibility of supplying talents to the country. It’s so disappointing.”

Then Zhu Yuanzhang ended the long conversation, patted Lao Liu on the shoulder with satisfaction and said:
"What about the boss, I didn't expect the sixth child to be able to see so deeply. That's why it is said that jade can't be polished, it can't be used, you have to practice."

"Oh, I'm ashamed." The prince said with a wry smile: "When my son was 20 years old, he was still ignorant. I didn't expect that at the age of the sixth child, his knowledge has surpassed that of mine."

Zhu Di also sincerely said: "During the time I was in Nanchang with the sixth child, I also learned a lot."

"It's all taught by the eldest brother." The sixth child hurriedly smiled modestly: "When I was eight years old, I was asked to read Zhen Dexiu's works. If my younger brother doesn't show off, wouldn't the elder brother be disappointed?"

"Hahaha!" The prince happily embraced the sixth son's shoulder and said, "Brother really has to thank me for being wise back then."

"Don't forget, there is also the teacher we worshiped for you." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to do, and he had to compare himself with his son.

"Yes," Zhu Zhen said with a look of sincerity: "Everything I have is given by my father. Without my father, my son will have to live for the rest of his life, and he will not be the leader of the beggar gang."

"No matter how good the words are, the taste will fucking change in your mouth." Zhu Yuanzhang slapped him on the back angrily and said, "Go back and have a good rest, but there is still one thing that needs to be done years ago—four years with you." Hurry up and submit the list of credits, and if you make it in time, it will be announced at the New Year's Eve."

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, Zhu Di took out a memorandum from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Father, I have already prepared it."

"It seems that the two brats made a lot of wishes." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and cursed, and took the memorial.
