Borrow the day to change the day

"That's exactly what I mean." Zhong Jinwei said with a smile.

The matter of the imperial examination affects the whole body, involving various powerful relationships.Unless the emperor has great prestige and a good environment, he cannot touch the imperial examination system.

About this point, Zhong Jinwei knew, and Emperor Chongzhen also understood, he continued to ask: "Master Zhong, how to guide him?"

"Accelerate the progress of the establishment of research institutes in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, announce the affiliation relationship between the local research institutes and the Beijing Normal University Research Institute, the selection, promotion and corresponding grade standards of local research fellows. Make the research institute a powerful form of the existing imperial examination system Supplement and strengthen its function of research and development of science and technology. In this way, on a large level, a mechanism that complements each other and does not conflict with each other has been formed in which management talents are produced through normal imperial examinations, and research and development talents are produced by research institutes at all levels. , will not affect the original way of imperial examinations, but also allow more talents to serve the country, I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

Zhong Jinwei's idea is to open up a new way to get ahead, and it is also a way that ancient society has not traveled.

He didn't suddenly propose such an idea, but he had already done part of it before.The Jingshi Research Institute was established first, and some results were produced. After the actual demonstration effect, it was proposed by this opportunity.

Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen heard it, he didn't feel it was very abrupt, and felt that it was a natural idea.What Zhong Jinwei said just now was just a summary of the previous things to make it more clear.

He thought for a while, and immediately ordered to the servant on the side: "Pass the chief assistant of the cabinet, Wen Tiren, to see him."

Although Emperor Chongzhen agreed from the bottom of his heart, he still had to find Wen Tiren and discuss it before making a decision.

If it was changed to the beginning of the year, maybe Emperor Chongzhen would have made the decision directly.Now he is a lot more stable in his work.

"Master Zhong, this method is wonderful, do you have anything else to add?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhong Jinwei with a hint of expectation on his face.

Zhong Jinwei smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the talent base of research institutes at all levels is actually scholars. Only when a good research atmosphere is formed among them, the basis for selection will be greater, and the talents obtained will be better."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and continued to listen to Zhong Jinwei's explanation with a "huh".If this is the case, it will not only help improve the quality of the research institute personnel, but also just solve the current atmosphere among the students.

"I thought of a way to make full use of the newspaper..."

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen heard Zhong Jinwei's words, he immediately thought of the public opinion guiding function of the newspaper he said, and immediately smiled knowingly.

Seeing the change in Emperor Chongzhen's expression, Zhong Jinwei knew what he was thinking, so he said it more easily: "Ming Pao can solicit articles from everyone in the Ming Dynasty, and accept research articles from all sides, as long as what they say makes sense. It is the content that no one else has said. If you invent or discover anything, you can publish it. As long as the manuscript is published, you can get the manuscript fee, and you will get extra points in your studies. This way you will have fame and fortune. I believe A lot of people will be involved."

At this time, Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, came over, and Emperor Chongzhen asked Zhong Jinwei to repeat his thoughts to Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren didn't express his opinion immediately after hearing this, but just thought about the information in Zhong Jinwei's words.

In the line of the research institute, the imperial court originally only gave titles to scattered officials, and it was just an honor to put it bluntly.It doesn't require the court to pay much, so no one cares too much about this thing.

State-owned enterprises provide corresponding salaries to the research institute, but they can also earn money from it, which makes officials at all levels in the DPRK and China happy to see it.

But now, according to what Zhongxinghou said, this road will be a great supplement to the imperial examination of Ming Dynasty in the future, and another way out for scholars.

In this way, the research institute becomes more important, and people from all walks of life will obviously pay attention to it and compete for the benefits.

Wen Tiren thought of this, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, if it is implemented according to Zhongxing Hou's words, there will indeed be many benefits. But before the research institute was under the management of the research institute, and the research institute was only under the Ministry of Industry. I think, It should be independent from the Ministry of Industry."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhong Jinwei, and then asked Wen Tiren, "What does Wen Qing mean?"

Wen Tiren replied seemingly impartially: "Your Majesty, if you are born in a normal imperial examination, you can be said to be a student of the emperor, and you should be superior to others. And this researcher is just a supplement to the imperial examination. I think it can be lowered by one level, so the cabinet can take care of it. "

Zhong Jinwei heard it from the side, and couldn't help reminding: "Master Wen, when we discussed education for all, the first discussion was to establish a Ministry of Education. I remember you said that the cabinet should also manage it. So many things are handled by the cabinet. If the cabinet does it, will there be too many things that will exhaust the cabinet ministers?"

After hearing this, Wen Tiren turned to Zhong Jinwei, and immediately shook his head and replied: "Mr. Zhongxing, the Ministry of Education's discussion was just a few of us in private. Judging from the current situation, to promote comprehensive education, cement road construction has to be popularized. The preliminary work can be done by the Ministry of Rites, and when the day comes when comprehensive education is popularized, it will not be too late to upgrade it to the cabinet jurisdiction like a research institute.”

Emperor Chongzhen listened to the discussion of the two courtiers while stroking the beard under his forehead.He thought for a while, and then expressed his opinion: "The matter of the Ministry of Education is too far away, and we will discuss it later. I think we can start with the matter of the research institute, and see if it can be returned when the scale is large. The cabinet governs, the two lovers think this is good?"

Zhong Jinwei thought it was true that there are too many things to do right now.Now the affairs of the research institute have a head start.It will take a long time to promote the atmosphere of research among scholars in the Ming Dynasty and let those scholars who have no imperial examinations go on another path.

Thinking of this, he said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty is right, and I have no objection."

Wen Tiren also had no objection, and bowed to second the proposal.

Then, the three bigwigs present at the scene reached an agreement on the matter that the Academy used the "Ming Pao" to lead the atmosphere among scholars in the Ming Dynasty.An idiom suddenly flashed in Zhong Jinwei's mind, seeking common ground while reserving differences, which seems to be a common method used by later generations to deal with some things.

None of the three present could have imagined that after many years, graduates from research institutes would be more popular than those from imperial examinations, attracting countless people to this path.

Because people from research institutes are very rich; and those who come from imperial examinations, if they are very rich, either the Metropolitan Procuratorate will come to buy tea, or the factory guard will come to buy coffee.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished discussing the matter, he smiled and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Master Zhong, when you are not in the capital, there is another piece of good news."
