Borrow the day to change the day

Emperor Chongzhen straightened his body, and then said to Zhong Jinwei: "In the eyes of the world, being an official is a deep-rooted idea. Therefore, as long as the family can support the imperial examination, they will generally choose the imperial examination. After all, there are more It is similar to craftsmanship, and it is difficult for them to accept it in a short time."

"But to be honest, I know that it is impossible for most people to have the ability to support their children to study all the time. If they have this scholarship, then these people will see the hope of continuing to study. And because the court has absorbed outstanding talents, it is also It can better strengthen the strength of the research institute."

"In this way, even if the new way out has just come out, many scholars will choose to take the path of research institutes. After a period of implementation and the people's ideas have changed, scholars who take the path of research institutes will only More. Master Zhong, is that so?"

Zhong Jinwei nodded again and again when he heard that, Emperor Chongzhen was right, this was his intention.After all, those traditional officials who took the path of the research institute were born as researchers, not as county magistrates. It will take time for the people's thinking to change.

Seeing Zhong Jinwei nodding his head, Emperor Chongzhen knew that he was right. He said excitedly again: "In addition to the scholarship provided by the institute, the imperial court can also exempt him from hard labor so that he can concentrate on his studies. Master Zhong, is this good? "

Zhong Jinwei was overjoyed when he heard this, "Your Majesty is still thoughtful, and I have forgotten about it."

After all, he was not from the Ming Dynasty, and he was not as familiar with the ancient system as the ancients.There is no labor in later generations, but labor had a great influence on the people in ancient times.Emperor Chongzhen's move will further stimulate the people to take the road of research institute.

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when Zhong Jinwei praised him, but he just pretended to be nothing.He thought for a while, and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Master Zhong, the discussion just now is very important to my scholars in Ming Dynasty. I sent Wen Qing to come over and discuss it carefully, and see how to implement it?"

"I think so too. It's even safer to have the mature and prudent Mr. Wen guard the gate." Zhong Jinwei nodded in agreement.

For such a big matter, the cabinet can't get around it anyway.Moreover, Zhong Jinwei was not yet big enough to let others say his suggestion, so when Emperor Chongzhen said it, he immediately agreed.

Not long after, Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was called to the Wenhua Palace to meet him.

As soon as he entered the Wenhua Hall, he saw that there was only one Marquis of Zhongxing in the hall, so he knew that Marquis Zhongxing might have some evil plans.Because for general things, you will go to the cabinet first, and then go to Datian to listen.Emperor Chongzhen would find Hou Zhongxing only after he felt it was important or difficult to solve.And now that I know that there is no such thing, it is natural that Hou Zhongxing has some idea.

Sure enough, when Emperor Chongzhen saw Wen Tiren coming, he told Wen Tiren all the situation and suggestions that Zhong Jinwei had just said.

Wen Tiren actually knew the situation of Guozijian, but based on the inertia inherited from previous dynasties, he had never paid much attention to the attitude of Guozijian before.

But after hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, he realized his previous shortcomings.Especially in the past two years, most of the officials who came from the imperial examination were boasters, but the research institute has flourished and made a lot of money for the court, which made him feel the importance of being a practical researcher.

Therefore, Wen Tiren naturally welcomes Zhong Jinwei's suggestion.After all, this is another path opened up, which is beneficial to the people of Ming Dynasty no matter what.

But there is one thing that he still wants to add.I just heard him suggest to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I think this method is very good, and I will not change the original imperial examination system. It will not be difficult to implement. But there is one thing, I think it is better to change it appropriately, or it will be better! "

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen quickly asked, "Wen Qing, what is it?"

Zhong Jinwei also nodded secretly, Jiang is still old and hot, and when Wen Tiren came, he had ideas for improvement.

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's appropriate to exempt the scholars who take the route of the research institute. Because of this, the imperial court obviously favors the research institute among the two types of scholars. Now the court officials are all from the imperial examination. , when people from the research institute do not have enough influence, they will inevitably be opposed by them."

Zhong Jinwei was listening to Wen Tiren's reasoning, but he couldn't figure it out, so he asked a little puzzled: "Master Wen, why did the imperial court obviously favor the scholars who are going to the research institute?"

But Emperor Chongzhen was thoughtful and basically understood what Wen Tiren was referring to.

Wen Tiren smiled, stretched out his hand and raised two fingers, and explained to Zhong Jinwei: "Now scholars in the Ming Dynasty, as long as they are scholars or above, can be exempted from hard labor, and given Lumi, so that they can concentrate on studying the imperial examination. The biggest advantage of this is Exempt him from hard labor, but there is not much Lumi."

"If scholars who take the road of research institutes can also be exempted from hard labor, and there will be scholarships, it will naturally make them feel that their interests have been violated. It is still a hidden danger under the current world style. vices."

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he couldn't help but be amazed.Wen Tiren's grasp of people's hearts is indeed very powerful.What he said, even in later generations, still exists.

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and asked, "Wen Qing, are you saying that it is important to exempt him from hard labor?"

Wen Tiren looked at Emperor Chongzhen, shook his head slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, this hard labor still has to be exempted. After all, it would be too wasteful for those who study and learn to do hard labor like ordinary people."

"What, what should I do?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't figure it out, and Wen Tiren's words seemed to be contradictory.

The same goes for Zhong Jinwei, who didn't understand what Wen Tiren meant, so he had to look at Wen Tiren and wait for him to explain further.

"Your Majesty, anyway, if you have all the money in the Institute, you can increase the amount of scholarships, so that scholars with outstanding academic performance can use their scholarships to spend money to avoid labor, and they can also make them rich enough to study. In this way, others will have nothing to say. "Wen Tiren smiled and said his improvement method.

Zhong Jinwei listened on the sidelines, and applauded Wen Tiren: "This method is very wonderful. Everyone knows about all the money in the research. But this is also the research institute's own money, not allocated by the court. In this way, those psychological Dark people have no reason to object."

"Okay, then do this." Emperor Chongzhen also smiled, happy that Wen Tiren had perfected this measure.

Therefore, the three of them reorganized the second birth path of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, and after they felt that the plan was comprehensive, they began to hold an enlarged meeting to implement this matter step by step.

What the three of them didn't expect was that this move later became the choice of most scholars, and also provided a steady stream of high-quality talents for various research institutes, making Daming's research and creativity always at the forefront of the world. It has provided the most powerful support for Ming's world's most powerful country.
