Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 256 Gaining Popular Hearts
In the end, one hundred counties were selected, and ten to one Confucian scholars were placed in each county.

Among them, there are more than 100 in Yunnan and Guizhou, more than [-] in Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi each, and more than [-] in Qin, Jin, and Liaodong. There are places in the West Region as well.

Not only these Confucian scholars, but also their family members had to be driven to these remote villages, all the original houses and land were confiscated, and these Confucian scholars had to learn to support themselves in exile.

Of course, the imperial court will also give you a certain salary, but this is related to whether you are diligent in teaching. If you only know how to sigh and sing the wind, you can only eat porridge for the whole family or even starve to death. Fortunately, there will be a salary several times higher than that of the county magistrate.

Moreover, in order to encourage these exiled Confucian scholars to actively devote themselves to the education of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao gave extra favors. If someone can educate a scholar in the local area, he can be allowed to return to his hometown.

If a Jinshi can be educated, he can be awarded an official position no lower than the seventh rank. If he can cultivate the No. [-] scholar and the third best, he can even be directly transferred to Beijing.

Of course, since the purpose is to popularize education rather than to pursue elites, teaching [-] boys or [-] scholars is the same as a scholar, and [-] boys or [-] scholars is the same as a Jinshi. The rewards are the same for [-] Tongsheng or [-] Scholars and No. [-] Prospects.

After many years, these Confucian scholars will find that in underdeveloped areas where only one or two Jinshi can be produced every year or even several years, the latter standard is less difficult than the former.

Since Wang Siren had a long-standing reputation in Shaoxing, Li Mingrui even met him in person. Although the meeting between the two was not friendly, Li Mingrui still kindly told him that the place where he was going to teach was Kuizhou Mansion, and he was going to Kuizhou Mansion. Taiping County serves as an instruction.

Taiping Mansion belongs to Suiding Prefecture. Its total population is less than that of a town in the south of the Yangtze River, and most of them are Tujia people. Not to mention asking them to take the examination for Jinshi, even reading and writing is an extremely difficult task.

Wang Siren sighed, he felt that this was the rhythm of his death in a foreign country, he asked the officers and soldiers who were called escorts but actually escorts to let him go to Shanyin to bid farewell to his ancestors before leaving for the mountainous area of ​​eastern Sichuan.

Under the care of Li Mingrui, the officers and soldiers who escorted him agreed to his request, but Wang Siren did not enter the city when he arrived in Shanyin County, but held a handful of soil outside the city, put it in his purse bag, and raised his hand : "Go to the shackles."

The officers and soldiers put the shackles on him, but the shackles were not heavy, and even a literati like Wang Siren couldn't bear the heavy shackles.

After crossing the Yangtze River, crossing the Jingchu Plain in a bullock cart, and then entering the border of Xiangxi, Wang Siren's shackles were released. The reason why he no longer wore shackles was because he was going to walk on all fours like an ape.

It took Wang Siren almost half a month to go into the depths of the mountains in eastern Sichuan after walking such a arduous journey. Looking at the rolling mountains and lush green forests, he was exhausted, but he suddenly felt a sense of joy in being secluded in the mountains and studying with peace of mind. .

Although Wang Siren was exiled, he is famous all over the world, and the county magistrate who was born in Bagong naturally welcomed him from ten miles away.

But when he entered the county town, he found that in the county town made of stones, except for a dozen chicken feather shops, there was only a county government office that looked decent, but it was also very decayed, and it was just a brick wall. As for the local people, most of them speak a dialect that Wang Siren can't understand. The only people who can talk to him now are the county magistrate and a few elders.

Chen Jiru and other great Confucian scholars also encountered such a problem. At this time, they understood why His Majesty would spare their own life, because staying in this place where no shit is more uncomfortable than dying, let alone teaching and educating people, you can't do anything with him. Local people communicate, and loneliness is the biggest enemy.

As a result, some Confucian scholars began to get sick not long after, and in this remote village, there was naturally no cure, and some died of depression directly.

And some Confucian scholars began to grit their teeth and put down their bodies to get close to the locals. They visited every household and persuaded the local people to send their children to study. After two or three months, they also integrated into the local area. Let a child enter school.

In this way, among the cliffs, under the canopy of the big trees, in the most mysterious area of ​​Ming Dynasty, there was finally the sound of Lang Lang reading.

Popularizing education and breaking the monopoly of knowledge by literati and bureaucrats can allow more poor families to participate in social construction and make the whole society more active. Flow is naturally much easier.

However, this is just the beginning, and the process of promoting Sinicization is a long-term process.

Zhu Youxiao does not want to live in this world, where the Chinese world will be surrounded by the English world hundreds of years later.

For pedantic but not reactionary celebrities such as Wang Siren, Zhu Youxiao can not kill them, and use their knowledge to make some contributions to Ming Dynasty, but for Chen Mingxia, Fang Dayou, Mao Pijiang, etc. who acted as planners and instigated Zhu Youxiao didn't intend to let it go easily.

In addition, the hateful officials who violated or even secretly contradicted and restrained their own emperor's will, but were also domineering outside, such as Yingtian Governor Wang Wenkui, etc., would naturally have to be punished severely, otherwise it would not be enough to deter the Jiangnan officialdom, and the royal capital would also It is difficult to break into the Jiangnan market.

Moreover, the head of the Dongchang stalls conducted severe interrogations on Chen Mingxia and other unruly scholars and Wang Wenkui and other lawless officials, forcing them to confess more people, regardless of whether the people they confessed were true or not, according to Zhu Youxiao The meaning is to eradicate all possible reactionary forces.

For a while, the people in Dongchang did not rest for a moment because of the end of the parade. The gentry who thought they were lucky to have escaped were arrested and put in prison, and then continued to torture and bite a group until Zhu Youxiao After the sacrifice to Xiaoling was over, the arrest was announced to be over.

As a result, almost all the literati groups in the south of the Yangtze River were arrested and almost suffered a devastating blow. Most of them were relegated to exile to promote education in underdeveloped areas, and a few heinous criminals were directly executed.

As for the chief evils such as Wang Wenkui, Chen Mingxia, etc., Zhu Youxiao must polarize these when offering sacrifices to Xiaoling, so as to respect the spirit of Emperor Taizu Gao from a distance.

……

The arrest and exile of a large number of gentry did not cause much loss to the economy of the Jiangnan area.

After suppressing the parade, Zhu Youxiao issued an order to the governor of Yingtian, ordering the governor of Yingtian not only to give sympathy to the people, but also to properly compensate for the losses of major shops and workshops in Jiangnan. After all, these businesses are the basis for maintaining the livelihood of the people in Jiangnan.

Zhu Youxiao can crack down on the properties of big landlords and squires, but these middle and low-scale industries must be protected. He Changqing, the right governor of Nanzhili, who is temporarily acting as the governor of Yingtian, is also capable, and soon came up with compensation methods .

The compensation amount is tentatively set at 100 million silver dollars, but any commercial store registered at the Ministry of Accounts or the Ministry of Accounting in Nanjing can sign a compensation agreement with the Ministry of Accounting in Nanjing with a registration license, and obtain compensation amounts and compensations of varying amounts according to the scale of the industry and the type of business. Proportion.

Those that are beneficial to the people and the country have a high proportion, those that are harmless and not beneficial are naturally low, and those that are harmful and not beneficial are naturally even lower.

For example, if an ironware workshop with an industrial scale of [-] silver dollars is registered as a legal commercial household with the imperial household department, it can receive [-]% compensation, that is, a compensation of [-] silver dollars. Get a hundred silver dollars.
