I became a mysterious person in textbooks after being pushed by the emperors

Chapter 32 Published in the world, the imperial examination reform

After Xia Yuanji agreed, he immediately took action. The first thing was printing. As the era moved towards the Ming Dynasty, after the technological explosion of the Song Dynasty, printing technology was undoubtedly extremely perfect and advanced at this time.

Not only does it have more exquisite engraving printing, but it also has more advanced movable type printing.

In order to control costs, Xia Yuanji directly adopted movable type printing. Hundreds of thousands of books were printed in less than a month, and these books began to be shipped to all parts of the country through the government.

At the same time, a shocking message spread throughout the country.

The message is very simple, that is, His Majesty believes that the imperial examination is for the country to select talents, and it needs to be practical and practical, not empty talk. He has decided to change the imperial examination this year. The selected test questions will no longer be selected from the Four Books and Five Classics, but from new textbooks.

As soon as the news came out, the whole Daming was instantly blown up.

The first is the central government. Confucian officials quickly want to meet Zhu Di.

However, Zhu Di didn't even see him.

Even the imperial decree promulgated directly.

The content of the imperial edict is very simple. It is not only a certain question, but also an amazing news. That is, once you pass the boy examination and become a scholar, you can be awarded the post of teaching from the ninth grade.

All of a sudden, not only the officials were blown up, but all the scholars in the whole world couldn't help being blown up.

Xiucai, also known as Maocai, originally refers to a talented person and first appeared in "Guanzi·Xiaokuang".It has been one of the subjects for recommending talents since the Han Dynasty. By the Ming Dynasty, scholar became another name for people officially called "shengyuan".

At first, the status of a scholar was not bad, and there was a shortage of people everywhere. If you were a scholar, no matter how bad you were, you could become a local squire who dealt with the government.

However, as the world has gradually stabilized for nearly half a century, the number of scholars has increased day by day, and they are no longer as valuable as they used to be.

At this moment, a scholar can be directly appointed as the teaching post of Cong Jiupin. This alone is enough to make people fry.

As for what to learn, it doesn't seem to be that important anymore.

At least in this moment it doesn't matter that much anymore.

After all, this was the Yongle period, not the middle and late Ming Dynasty when the main ship was stubborn.

In this early Ming era, the will of the emperor was the will of all.

Especially after the prime minister was abolished, the civil servant group had no ability or ability to fight against the emperor's will.

Not to mention changing the imperial examination, even if the imperial examination is abolished, it is impossible for anyone to change anything.

In this case, Zhu Di's decree was quickly adopted.

At the same time, a large number of textbooks began to spread throughout Daming.

According to the official volume, the number of printed copies exceeded hundreds of thousands in the first month, and when the time entered the second month, the number undoubtedly doubled.

In less than three months, these teaching materials have appeared in the entire Ming Dynasty, two capitals and thirteen provinces.

"Brother Liu, have you heard that the imperial examination system will be restructured this year, and it is said that new teaching plans will be adopted."

"I heard, isn't there something for sale in the county? You only need [-] coins to get a set!"

"real or fake!"

"Of course it's true. I just sent my servant to buy three sets."

"Thank you Brother Liu!"

There were figures mixed together, facing the restructuring. Although they had many complaints, one by one the scholars quickly complied with their wishes.

The price of special books is cheaper than they imagined.

You can buy a set for only [-] yuan. You must know that even a single copy of the Four Books and Five Classics is worth almost the same.

Such a price is almost affordable to today's scholars.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of copies of the first monthly issue and the second monthly issue were almost sold out in less than a month.

Fortunately, the government still provides a steady stream of books, and even provides loans for books.

If there is no money, you only need to register, and you can receive them.

At this moment, almost no one did not get the books.

And when a famous scholar saw the contents of these books, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

This is not because there are more books. In fact, only primary school textbooks are printed this time, and there are only less than fifty books in total.

Compared to what they had to learn before, they didn't have much to learn, but less.

The previous exam was about Eight-part Part (Eight-legged Parts). You need to learn not only the Four Books and Five Classics, but also the gazes of sages. It has been 2000 years, and you have to memorize the gazes of so many sages and sages.

In comparison, these fifty books are naturally a drop in the bucket.

The so-called Chinese is no less than children's books, but it can't resist teaching all kinds of novel knowledge in it.

Especially the geographical and scientific descriptions of everything in the world are simply incredible.

Geography, for the first time they saw how huge the world was.

It was so big that they could hardly imagine it.

In science, he only knows about many things but does not know why, but the books clearly let them understand these principles and causes.

Some people even couldn't wait to verify it.

And this verification undoubtedly surprised them even more, because everything described in the book turned out to be true.

Of course, more people began to learn quickly.

This year's imperial examination has been less than half a year, since the emperor has ordered this year's scientific examination to be based on this book, they dare not neglect in the slightest.

In this case, the implementation went surprisingly smoothly.

There is no way, the emperor is the Yongle Emperor, who is close to the founding emperor. In addition, the wealth provided by the Age of Discovery at this moment can fully support the Yongle Emperor.

In this way, it is naturally not a problem.

As for having opinions, I can only hold them in at the moment.

If he dared to make trouble, Emperor Yongle's sword might not be much thicker than Emperor Hongwu's.

Also kills.

After Lao Zhu's large-scale killings, the civil servants who remained in the court had already learned wisely and naturally understood when to do what and when not to do.

Of course, the most important thing is that they can wait.

From Lao Zhu, they waited until Jianwen, and from Zhu Di, they could also wait until the crown prince ascended the throne.

At that time, everything can be overthrown and restarted.

They have plenty of time.

Zhu Di naturally understood what these people were thinking.

But he doesn't care, as long as he is given a certain amount of time, the re-improved system will be enough to establish a new system. Even if these people want to tear it down and start over, it will not be that easy.

Not to mention other things, I am afraid that no one can give up these huge overseas interests.

His own prince is not a fool.

But obviously, other people don't know, and Zhu Di has no plans to disclose overseas earnings for the time being.

At least until Ming Dynasty developed to a certain level, he didn't have that idea.
