Creating tax revenues?

These ministers, they really haven't analyzed the imperial examination from this perspective.

But they also have to admit that Guo Dan is telling the truth.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty did not have too serious redundant officials, because the imperial court still controlled it more strictly in the process of admitting jinshi, and it was very difficult for jinshi to enter the court as officials, but redundancy was very serious.

And the taxi has privileges and preferential treatment, saying that they are moths may be a bit extreme, after all, they are still very smart people, and they have not done anything wrong, but the problem is that there is no platform for them to display their talents, the platform is so big, but there are thousands of people to compete.

As a result, it becomes a pure attrition of the imperial court.

But this is also the original intention of creating the imperial examination, to raise all the smart people in the world, and don't think about rebellion.

The problem is that now this phenomenon has gone to the extreme, all blocked on one road, knowing that the front is blocked, but no one wants to leave.

Because if you leave, you will be ridiculed.

No matter how good the original intention is, once it goes to the extreme, it will become bad.

Song Jingsheng suddenly asked, "As a businessman, how can you calculate this?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Song Shilang didn't forget, we have to make financial statements for the imperial court every year. ”

Li Zhi suddenly remembered this and asked, "Why haven't we seen the financial statements made by your Ya Xing?" ”

"He's all over to me."

Wanli glanced at it and said, "Does Li Yushi think there is a problem with this?" ”

Li Zhi said embarrassedly: "No... No. ”

Many people are secretly sweating.

Especially Song Jingsheng, the emperor still has an account in his heart, which is really scary.

Yang Mingshen, who came to his senses, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Guo Dan is bewitching the public, throughout the ages, but in all prosperous times, the country has prevailed in the style of learning, this has many readers, which is a good thing for the country, and it just proves that our education is very successful." ”

Guo smiled lightly and said: "Therefore, according to the opinion of Scholar Yang, this is not the style of learning, but not doing business and idleness?" ”

"You don't want to be strong here, the old man didn't accuse these little babies."

Yang Ming thought angrily, "The old man means that you shouldn't use Journey to the West as a textbook, you should first teach them to understand reason and etiquette, and correct their hearts first. ”

You old man is really insidious!

Guo said lightly.

What Yang Mingshen meant by this is actually a hint to control his thoughts.

This is also very important to the emperor.

The main reason why Brother Yuanzhang made an eight-strand essay is mainly to control his thoughts.

Guo smiled lightly: "It's really a good peace of mind farming, hehe, I'm also very willing, but I don't know if Scholar Yang is willing to give them land?" ”

Yang Ming blinked deeply and said, "Give... What land to give? ”

Guo Dan said: "Scholar Yang really doesn't listen to things outside the window, and only reads sage books!" The reason why they are sitting here is because their family is too poor and has no land, unlike Scholar Yang's family, which has thousands of acres of land. ”

"You... You're spewing blood. ”

Yang Mingshen's face suddenly tightened, but he obviously lacked confidence.

"Hehe......."

Guo Dan just smiled and didn't continue to delve into it, because it couldn't be investigated, Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue's families had more land, this is an unchangeable reality, and said: "Actually, these are not important, the important thing is that many people's families don't have a lot of land, and they can't support a family at all." And that's why I used Journey to the West as a textbook. ”

Shen Shixing stroked his beard and said, "How do you say this? ”

Guo Dan didn't answer and asked: "I don't know if Shen Shoufu agrees with my words?" ”

Shen Shixing groaned for a moment, then nodded.

Guo Dan said: "The reality is so cruel, if they don't learn a little skill immediately, then they may become some ruffians in the future, when there are more and more such ruffians and hooligans, it will inevitably endanger the stability and ...... of the country." ”

"You don't have to talk about him in the left, we're talking about education now."

Li Zhi rudely interrupted Guo Dan's words.

In fact, is this still Guo Dan said, everyone knows that because the land annexation is too serious, the land in the hands of the people is getting less and less.

"I didn't talk about him in the left right, I just talked about the facts."

Guo Dan said: "The money in the education fund is also very limited, and it is impossible for them to go to school and learn etiquette step by step like those rich children. These students must immediately learn the means of survival and then immediately find a job. Teaching them to read and write in the form of storytelling can quickly cultivate their enthusiasm for reading and make them remember more words. ”

Hui Ming hurriedly added: "Your Majesty, my lords, we often teach them to distinguish between good and evil based on stories. ”

Wanli nodded, and asked again, "I don't know how well you teach?" ”

When Guo Dan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Wanli said: "What? Didn't you teach well? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it would be nice if the teaching didn't go well." Guo Dan lamented.

Wanli was puzzled when he heard it, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Guo Dan said depressedly: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the grass people came here today because the abbot taught them too well, so the grass people specially came to tell the abbot that they can't go on like this, and they want those monks not to work so hard to teach." ”

Wang Jiaping wondered: "Isn't this a good teaching?" ”

"If you don't believe it, ask the abbot."

Guo Dan stretched out his hand and led Huiming.

Wanli and the ministers couldn't help but look at Huiming.

It seems that Guo Shizhu said this, and it is not a lie. Huiming was still entangled in his heart for a while, and then he said: "Amitabha, here's the thing, our temple originally cooperated with Guo Shizhu, and only accepted some children from poor families to study.

But recently, more and more rich families also want to send their children here to study, and even willing to pay for it, so the poor monks invited Guo Shizhu to come to discuss this matter, just now, Guo Shizhu has made it clear that those children of rich and noble families are not allowed to study here. ”

Of course, he will not be as shameless as Guo Dan, but the meaning of his words is actually not bad with what Guo Dan said.

Shen Shixing, Yang Mingshen and others were shocked.

Aren't all rich and noble families inviting special teachers to teach, how can they send their children here to study?

"How is this possible?" Yang Mingshen really couldn't believe it.

"Amitabha, monks don't speak." Hui Ming practiced the Buddha's way.

Wanli was quite interested: "Yes or no, just go and see." ”

So he led a group of ministers inside.

Suddenly, I heard a childish voice, "Master, I think this monk is too pedantic, the Great Sage is a goblin, but the monk recited a mantra to torture the Great Sage, but it is really unreasonable." ”

Wanli, Shen Shixing and others couldn't help but look sideways, only to see a little baby about ten years old, pouting, looking at the young monk sitting cross-legged on a big stone with an unconvinced face.

They all couldn't help laughing.

Is it appropriate to go to this temple and say this about monks?

But they didn't ask about it, obviously they had all read Journey to the West and knew what they were talking about.

"Amitabha." The monk performed the Buddha salute and said, "Which of you can answer this question on behalf of the poor monks." ”

In fact, there is no distinction between teachers and students here, although it is called Master, but it is only an honorific title, but it doesn't matter if the monk is a monk, after all, Buddhism pursues the equality of all beings.

As for Taoism, it is impossible for Taoism to teach Journey to the West, because Journey to the West makes Taoism a little bad, so the Taoist Temple teaches the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it is mainly based on arithmetic.

A slightly older girl replied, "Master, I thought the monk was right, if it wasn't for the goblin, then the Great Sage would have killed a good person by mistake, and a person with good intentions would not easily kill innocents." ”

Shen Shixing, they heard it and nodded their heads.

"But the Great Sage knows that it is the goblin becoming, the Great Sage is not wrong, it is the monk who is wrong." The little boy argues with reason and is clearly a big fan of monkeys.

The young monk smiled slightly: "If it were you, what would you do?" ”

The little boy said, "Of course I will believe in the Great Sage, because the Great Sage has fiery eyes. ”

The young monk smiled and said, "What if the Great Sage deceives you?" ”

"How can the Great Sage deceive people."

"Have you forgotten that the great sage in the book is often a liar!"

“......？”

The little boy pouted and asked, "What will Master do?" ”

The young monk folded his hands and said, "Poor monks are monks, monks should not kill, but you are not monks, and when you go out from here in the future, you will meet many good people and some bad people." Therefore, you must learn to know good and evil, and distinguish between right and wrong, so that you will not make the same mistakes as monks. ”

Yang Mingshen immediately looked at Huiming and whispered, "Abbot, is this how you teach and educate people?" ”

Before the words fell, I only heard the little boy say excitedly: "Master also thinks that the monk is wrong. ”

The young monk said with a smile: "But if you can't distinguish between good and evil, and you don't have the sharp eyes of the great sage, then the poor monk still hopes that you can be like the monk, because then you won't kill a good person by mistake. ”

Huiming is really relieved, fortunately you made up this sentence, otherwise, I would be finished, and I will starve you tonight. He couldn't help but look at Guo Dan again.

The textbook was finally formulated by him, not to say that the temple could teach how he wanted, but this idea was not put forward by Guo Dan, he only focused on the aspect of arithmetic, which was written by Aunt Xu, she just wanted to lead this story to debate right and wrong, know good and evil, rather than blindly right and wrong.

Guo Dan smiled at Yang Ming and said: "Scholar Yang, reading is to debate right and wrong, know good and evil, teachers can't only teach good, not evil, after all, there are many bad people in reality, if there is no distinction between good and evil, blindly connived, justice cannot be served, then what's the point of reading?" ”

Yang Ming snorted deeply: "They are still some children, and they are killing and killing every day, do you think this is reasonable?" ”

Guo Dan sneered: "I don't want to do this either, but there is not much time left for them, if they don't learn these quickly, they may starve to death on the side of the road, and they may be beaten to death for stealing, so they must grow up immediately, this sounds very cruel, especially for a sage like Yang Daxue who reads poetry and books, but whose fault is this?" ”

No wind was blowing this time, but their faces were redder.
