Borrow the day to change the day

Emperor Chongzhen was originally just a vassal king, but he was able to live in the palace in his early years because of the favor of Emperor Tianqi.Later, Emperor Tianqi died suddenly, and the 17-year-old vassal king suddenly became the king of a country.

When he first became emperor, the mighty Nine Thousand Years was in front of him.After Wei Zhongxian was resolved, urgent problems such as natural disasters everywhere, the establishment of captives in Liaodong, and the country's lack of money were placed in front of the inexperienced Emperor Chongzhen.

Although with Zhong Jinwei's assistance, Daming's conflicts were resolved one by one.But no matter what, it is impossible for him to pay attention to everything in the empire, let alone the Guozijian, which has been neglected by all dynasties.

Therefore, after hearing Zhong Jinwei say that no matter how poor the future generations are, they cannot be poorly educated, and he also felt that he was not enough to use talents, so he began to pay special attention to what Zhong Jinwei said.

I only heard Zhong Jinwei continue to say: "Because of the first hazard, the funds of the Imperial College cannot be operated normally, which made the previous emperor introduce the policy of kinship, which..."

"Master Zhong, what is the kinship policy?" Emperor Chongzhen asked realistically in front of Zhong Jinwei without any need to conceal his ignorance.

Zhong Jinwei had already done enough homework, and immediately answered him: "The policy of family dependence, simply put, is that the supervising students do not need to study in the Imperial College, and they are allowed to go home to study by themselves. Not only that, but there are no follow-up measures. There is no assessment of whether the supervising students have completed their studies at home."

After explaining the relative policy, Zhong Jinwei concluded: "In this way, how will the quality of the supervisors be improved? Can they produce talents? They just spent money and bought the title of supervisors. If you have an official, you can do it. To put it bluntly, this is selling an official, only recognizing money, not recognizing people."

Emperor Chongzhen's face sank when he heard it. The situation Zhong Jinwei said was very undesirable for a monarch who wanted to do something.

Everyone knows that those who bought an official with money will only use the power in their hands to grab the people's fat and anointment when they are officials, and they will only make money and not lose money.The incompetent and short-sighted monarch will do this in order to solve the plight of urgent money.

Zhong Jinwei didn't care whether Emperor Chongzhen felt good or not, and continued to say the third point: "Because of the changes in the country's talent selection, that is to say, the emergence of the Jinshi Department has already crowded out the outlets for the middle school supervisors of the Imperial College. As long as you have money, you can buy it, and the number of people increases suddenly, there are too many monks, and the way out is silted up, which further reduces the status of Guozijian in the hearts of scholars."

Speaking of this, Zhong Jinwei stared at Emperor Chongzhen, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the students who accept the prison are generally rich, and they are ignorant. If there are too many such people, the reputation of the Imperial College will be ruined." It made the young talents among the scholars disdain to be in the same room with these people, and they all gave up the opportunity to study in the Imperial College. If this continues, how can the Imperial College not be so bad today!"

Emperor Chongzhen was really shocked. He didn't expect that the most senior government-run university in Ming Dynasty would turn into the current situation under the ruin of the court itself.

The purpose of Guozijian has undergone fundamental changes from the beginning of the founding of the country to the present.From the initial responsibility of recruiting talents from all over the world, it has become a tool for the court to collect money, and in the end, the people will bear the consequences.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen recovered from his contemplation. Seeing Zhong Jin and Wei Jiongjiong looking at him with vigour, he firmly stated: "I deeply agree with the saying in your hometown that no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor. For the ancestors to pass on to future generations."

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, a gratified smile appeared on his face.In this way, one's greatest goal has been achieved.

You must know that in later generations, many countries and regions, such as Taiwan, have clearly written the percentage of the country's annual fiscal revenue into the constitution.Emperor Chongzhen designated this as the ancestral precept, which is tantamount to the same as this.

"Since Master Zhong brought up this matter, there must be a solution, and I hope Master Zhong will teach me!" Emperor Chongzhen then sincerely asked Zhong Jinwei.

He understands that since the Imperial College has been rotten to the extreme, it is not an easy task to save it.

Zhong Jinwei nodded with a smile and said: "Your Majesty ordered me to obey my orders."

First he expressed his attitude, and then Zhong Jinwei continued: "I originally wanted to learn from the management methods of higher education institutions from my hometown, but after I learned about it, I found that the original system of the Imperial College is already very good."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect this to happen.So, he quickly asked, "Oh, what was the original system of the Guozijian?"

After hearing this, Zhong Jinwei explained to Emperor Chongzhen with a look of reverence on his face: "Your Majesty, I think the three systems of Guozijian, namely the supervisor system, point system and calendar system, are very good systems."

"First, the supervision system, that is, the strict management of Guozijian students. There are special teaching staff, management personnel, and teaching counselors to effectively control the students' studies and life. Even the supervisor's leave and suspension of school must be approved by the emperor. It is only allowed by special permission, and there are naturally regulations on asking for holidays."

When Zhong Jinwei said this, he smiled and commented to Emperor Chongzhen: "To be honest, such strict management is difficult even for the minister's hometown."

Then Zhong Jinwei talked about the second point: "The point system is the inspection of the academic performance of the supervising students. It is stipulated that the students who have completed eight points can pass the test. The Guozijian is divided into six classes, and the six classes are divided into three classes. The superintendents must pass the test level by level. There will be an exam every quarter. Those who are excellent in writing and reasoning will get one point, those who are good in reasoning but poor in writing will get half a point, and those who are unreasonable will get zero points no matter how good the writing is.”

"In Chen's hometown, and in institutions of higher learning, the point system is also adopted, but it is basically a matter of situation, and there is no strict check. Even the students shouted long live the pass, which shows that it is normal. Of course, this is a digression."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard Zhong Jinwei talk about a system, he would compare it with the later generations, which gave him another understanding of each system, and he couldn't help nodding slightly.

"Third, the calendar system, that is, after the supervisor's points are full, they will be allocated to various yamen to practice political affairs. After about a year, after passing the experience, they are eligible to go to the official department and wait for deployment as officials."

"There is also this calendar system in Chen's hometown, but it's not called a calendar, but an internship. Sometimes, I suspect that these things in Chen's hometown are all learned from Daming."

After talking about the advantages of Guozijian, Zhong Jinwei bowed to Emperor Chongzhen sincerely and said: "Your Majesty, if these systems of Guozijian can be strictly implemented again, and then the positioning of Guozijian is started from other aspects, it will definitely restore the reputation of Guozijian and return him. original position."

Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised when he heard this, and the system was strictly implemented again, which is easy to understand.But he didn't understand another point, so Emperor Chongzhen asked, "Master Zhong, why do you start with the positioning of Guozijian from other aspects?"
