Chapter 1081 The Crown Prince's Status Is Unshakable

Educational reform takes much longer than military reform.

Xiao Ruxun can easily establish a military academy to train his own officers to control the army, firmly control the army, and prevent civilian officials from invading military power, but it is not so easy to establish a school and learn.

The three southeastern provinces broke ground to build schools. The central government is urgently training teachers who master pinyin to teach children literacy in schools in the three southeastern provinces. Xiao Ruxun has set a ten-year education reform plan.

He wants to train the first batch of officials under the new education system within ten years, adopting the civil service examination plan, with fixed-point examinations for each position, gradually replacing the imperial examination-style way of conferring officials as county magistrates.

How can the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in a county be placed in the hands of a guy who has just read sage books for decades?
The preferential terms attached to the imperial examination will also no longer exist. The imperial examination is still the name of the imperial examination, but the inside will be completely replaced.

Once the new type of education gains a foothold, don't you want to?You want tax exemption?You want preferential treatment?

Okay, there are so many scholars in the world, how can you be missing one?
The talented students cultivated through the land reform can stabilize the local situation for a while, but if the power of the gentry in the imperial examination is to be completely wiped out, a new system must replace the existing imperial examination.

So Xiao Ruxun never mentioned the issue of the imperial examination, but set off a wave of purges to get rid of those who tried to let him reopen the imperial examination and draft, and wiped out the remaining political power of the previous Ming Dynasty, so that those who still think carefully Weigh yourself.

He did so much just to prevent the tragedy from happening again.

And it would be a pity if all this happened again after his death.

Try to leave a reliable heir, at least on the premise of holding absolute righteousness, the emperor can do many things.

As for the future... people are not gods, how can they see so far?

Xiao Ruxun thought about it for a while, and thought of the story of Zhu Di raising Zhu Zhanji, so she decided to take Zhenbang by her side to raise her, and hand Yingying over to her father for help.

After that, no matter how busy the government affairs were, Xiao Ruxun never relaxed his discipline on Zhenbang.

When he met the ministers in the previous dynasty, he put Zhenbang in the side hall to practice calligraphy. He reviewed the performances in the study to handle government affairs, and let Zhenbang set up a small table next to him to review and practice calligraphy.

Studying for half an hour and resting for a quarter of an hour, he took Zhenbang by the hand and took him for a walk outside, walking to relax his eyes, and he also took a rest.

At noon, he took Zhenbang to eat together. After dinner, he asked the elderly palace maid to take Zhenbang to the side room for an afternoon nap. He also took a nap. Playing ball in the garden for an hour, and then came back to take a shower, waiting for him to come to dinner.

If the state affairs are really busy, Xiao Ruxun will arrange for the ministers to have lunch and dinner in the palace, and he will also spare time to have dinner with Zhenbang, and then continue to discuss government affairs with the ministers after dinner. In a word, although he is very busy, it is not impossible arrive.

The news that Xiao Ruxun personally raised and taught Zhenbang quickly spread throughout the court. At this sensitive moment when the empress was about to give birth, many officials realized why the emperor did this.

"The position of the prince is unshakable."

This is Xiao Ruxun's intention to convey to the officials, so that they can rest easy and stop thinking about what they have and what they don't have.

The central group of officials lost their local financial resources and the power of their network, and became unprecedentedly weak.

They only have official status and authority, and no other powers. They have no confidence to challenge the emperor, just like the old men who were frightened by the massacre in the early Qing Dynasty. In control, Xiao Ruxun didn't need to split them to stabilize his position.

The officials never thought that Xiao Ruxun could do so thoroughly and simply, so that before that moment came, they couldn't believe that they had become the subordinates of such a powerful emperor. They had no ability to resist and could only obey orders.

They have money, but not so much money, they have land, but not so much land, most of their families are in the capital, and they are not allowed to go to other places, if they want to go, they can, resign from office and go back to seclusion, and they can't use the land relatives in the local government to buy land, because local officials are all minions of the central government.

They stare at the central government officials, hoping that they will make mistakes, because if they make mistakes, they will be dismissed, and these local officials will have the opportunity to enter the central government.

Xiao Ruxun even planned to promote the policy that officials should not own land when they are officials. When they go to the central government, they need to move their families to live in the capital.

Now the time is not yet ripe, Xiao Ruxun will wait until he has completely become an existence close to a god, and then completely crush this thousands of years of tradition with supreme power.

But even now, high officials are not used to it.

It has been a tradition for thousands of years for officials to buy land, but this tradition suddenly stopped. They can't buy land, otherwise they will get into trouble. This kind of depression is really uncomfortable, but they can't resist it.

Although the emperor set up a Kodao speaker, the huge gap between the Kodao speaker in this dynasty and the previous dynasty's Kodao speaker is unbelievable.

There must be real evidence to be impeached, and those who are impeached only by rumors, and those who forge evidence will all be denounced.

How does this make the mad dog bite?

Not only that, but the emperor also set up a central investigation department to investigate the officials. At the beginning of the year, Cheng Guogong murdered thousands of people in the case of treason. become synonymous with panic.

Since then, they have shuddered at the sight of Investigations Division officials in their unusual black robes.

The power of the current emperor can even be compared with Zhu Yuanzhang.

They understood why it was not easy to be a courtier of the founding emperor.

But they didn't lose hope. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was going to die. After he died, the new emperor ascended the throne. Wouldn't it be business as usual?
However, when the news that the emperor personally raised the prince came out, some people smelled something unusual.

Moreover, everything Xiao Ruxun did was beyond their imagination to a large extent, and it was hard to understand. Even the high-ranking officials in the cabinet couldn't guess what the emperor would do next, and they didn't know how to deal with it at all, so they could only follow the order.

Anyway, Wang Xijue accepted his fate, so he planned to be a sounding board, he would do what the emperor said, and he didn't think about the prestige of the chief minister or the power of the head of the hundred officials. Happy to be at ease.

Li Tingji still wanted to do something, so Xiao Ruxun handed over the promotion of Ma Zheng to Li Tingji's supervisor, and started a pilot project in Beizhili.

The results of the preliminary experiment were not bad. More than 1 households have taken over the errands of the horse administration and started raising horses for the imperial court in exchange for preferential tax policies.

The operation of the national horse farm has also officially started. Now that the north is cold, it is necessary to move the location of the horse farm to the south. Fortunately, Mongolian horses are cold-resistant and easy to raise, and have strong vitality. If they are rough, they are not afraid of being frozen to death. Scale equipment is the best premise for cavalry.

The large-scale cavalry training was officially put on the agenda. Xiao Ruxun summoned the generals of the army, and officials from the staff department and the military department began to discuss. A consensus was initially reached on the training of [-] cavalry in five years, and the cavalry expansion plan was also steadily advancing.

Now that Jianzhou is destroyed, the follow-up plan will naturally be implemented with the help of Xie He and the others. Xiao Ruxun only needs to order to appease Chu Ying and Joseon King Li Yan, and the rest of his energy will be spent on cleaning up Yang Yinglong and Southwest chieftain.

Once the southwestern chieftain is settled, the land reform in the entire south of the Yangtze River will be completed. The years of war and chaos in the north have not only made life difficult for the people, but also for the gentry. In the chaos in Shanxi, the forces of Shanxi merchants were wiped out and almost uprooted. This saved Xiao Ruxun A lot of work.

The largest gentry group in the north was destroyed, and it was not that difficult to carry out land reform in the north. Once the south was resolved, the north would be no problem.

Once the Dachi road is built in the local area, there will be no need to think that it can escape from the control of the central government. Once the means of transportation and information communication are developed, the so-called situation that the sky is high and the emperor is far away will no longer appear.

Xiao Ruxun paid close attention to Xu Guangqi's research progress.
