Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 368 Innovation
Although I don't know much about His Royal Highness, Wang Hua probably knows some of his habits.

Although he didn't know what this Daming Imperial Academy was for, he still knew why ordinary academies were used.Although he hesitated in his heart, Wang Hua didn't ask any questions, and waited quietly for Zhu Houzhao to tell him.

"Wang Aiqing, this Royal Academy is not used to teach people to read, but to teach people to be officials." Zhu Houzhao didn't go around the corner, and directly said the matter.

Glancing at Wang Hua who was in surprise, Zhu Houzhao continued: "Wang Aiqing, I intend to entrust this matter to you. I intend to let you do the sacrificial wine of the Royal Academy. I have already invited Father Your Majesty, my father has already agreed. This is a document written by this palace, Wang Aiqing can take a look at it first."

"If there is anything inappropriate or needs improvement, Ai Qing can bring it up, and we, the monarch and ministers, can discuss it together."

Wang Hua quickly said: "The minister receives the order."

After finishing speaking, he took the paperwork that Liu Jin handed over, and quickly flipped through it.

This document is not very thick, and there is not much content in it. It is probably a framework. For example, it was written earlier why such an academy should be established.

On the document, Zhu Houzhao explained in detail why he established the Daming Royal Academy.

Although Wang Hua looked quickly, he also looked very carefully.

Although His Royal Highness only said why the Royal Academy was established, Wang Hua still saw something different from it.

The simplest example is that His Highness the Crown Prince is dissatisfied with the current officials of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time His Highness the Crown Prince put forward new requirements for the officials.

To be an official, you can't just study hard, you must understand people's livelihood, you must understand arithmetic, you must understand taxes, you must understand laws, and even criminal names and military affairs.

To sum it up, in one sentence, His Royal Highness requires officials to be able to do a lot of things. It is absolutely impossible to know little or nothing about people's livelihood as they are now.

At the same time, Wang Hua also thought of another thing, that is the examination method promoted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.In the current Ming Dynasty, there are two places where the examination method is practiced, one is in Liaodong, and the other is in the northwest.

Although the examination method has not yet been fully implemented, everyone knows that this day is not far away, and His Royal Highness will definitely not wait too long.

In addition, there is the Daming Taxation Department.

When the tax department was first established, it was to collect taxes from nobles and relatives.But the size of the current tax department has already exceeded the needs of this matter.

If it is only to collect taxes from nobles and relatives, there is no need for such a large-scale tax department.Now that tax bureaus are all over Daming, His Highness the Crown Prince's intentions are already obvious.

From here, Wang Hua saw more ambitions of His Royal Highness, and obviously His Royal Highness is preparing to train the officials he wants.

Why train the officials you want?
The answer is simple.

Firstly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is dissatisfied with the current officials.Of course, if this is the reason alone, there is no need to establish a Royal Academy to train new officials, but only need to rectify the current officials.

Then the establishment of the Royal Academy to train new officials is the second reason.

The second reason is also very simple, that is, the current officials will be dissatisfied with His Royal Highness, or many people will oppose His Royal Highness.why?

Because His Royal Highness wants to implement the New Deal.

Although Wang Hua was flipping through the documents, his heart was constantly flipping over.

He knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was about to make a move, and the scale of the New Deal this time was bound to be large, and there might even be a large-scale layoff of officials, so His Highness the Crown Prince needed to train new officials to fill the vacancies.

If he accepted this job from the Royal Academy, he would undoubtedly be on the cusp of the storm.

On the one hand, I will become the leader of the officials of the innovative school, after all, these newly trained officials are all my students;

On the other hand, I will be boycotted and impeached by countless people.

In such a situation, how should I choose?

Without thinking for too long, Wang Hua made a decision.

I and my son have long been tied to the chariot of His Royal Highness, and it is too late to retreat now.

Even if he could retire, his son could not.What's more, His Highness the Crown Prince's position is stable and powerful, why should he retreat?

Following His Royal Highness may be able to do a great job.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is His Majesty's only son, who holds the Black Dragon Army in his hand and also controls Qi Qi Zhai.What's more, there are countless people who support His Highness the Crown Prince, whether it is nobles, relatives or generals; even among the civil servants, His Highness the Crown Prince also has a lot of supporters, basically there is no failure of reform.

Unless the content of the reform is unreasonable.But I don't know what the content is yet, so I can take a look first.

Closing the document in his hand, Wang Hua looked up at His Highness the Crown Prince, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness is very thoughtful, and I have no thoughts for a while."

At this point, Wang Hua paused for a moment, and then continued: "I will go back and think about it. If I have any ideas, I will report to His Highness."

"In that case, Ai Qing should go back first!" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

When Wang Hua left, Zhu Houzhao stood up.He went straight to the gate of the palace and stretched slightly, with a somewhat relaxed expression on his face.

Unlike when he first came here, Zhu Houzhao was much calmer at this time. After all, he had strength in his hands, and he was already invincible after holding the Black Dragon Army.

No one on the grassland could make trouble for him. If Horqin came to surrender this time, there would only be Dayan Khan who hid far away.

On the northwest side, there is no threat above the Hetao.Once the construction of Baotou and other cities in Yinchuan is completed, there will be no more worries in the northwest, and it will become a land of wealth for Ming Dynasty.

The same is true for Liaodong.

When Daming occupied Hami and Dunhuang, the westward trade route opened up, and the entire north was almost ready for itself.

As for the conquest of Dayan Khan, it can start at an appropriate time, but Zhu Houzhao is not in a hurry.

The next step for me to start is the internal affairs, and the first thing I want to push is naturally the Kaocheng Law and the Daming Taxation Department.

Use the examination method to clean up the official team, and at the same time use the tax department to restrain local tax powers, and at the same time start training new officials.

Once this thing is done, I can reform the most core part, which is to return the fire consumption to the public.

Of course, the army in the south also needs to be changed.Compared with the military formation in the north, the restructuring in the south is much simpler.

Basically, there is no war in the south, and there is no rebellion, so the number of some troops can be appropriately reduced.After recruiting, improve the quality and improve the sophistication of equipment, so that you can spend less money.

As for the expansion of the army, let's wait until Daming needs to go to war in the south.

With the saved money and energy, Zhu Houzhao is going to invest in the navy.

Fortune comes from the sea, and danger also comes from the sea.

Zhu Houzhao naturally will not forget.

　Will update tomorrow.Everyone pay attention to epidemic prevention, don't go out if you have nothing to do, and wear a mask when you go out.
