Chapter 53 Secondary School Textbooks

When Yu Qian heard this, his heart was slightly gloomy.

In the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, Yu Qian lost his original edges and corners and became sleek.

But the persistence in Yu Qian's heart has not changed a little.

This is also the reason why Yu Qian doesn't want to take over the position of first assistant, and his body is a reason. But his political disagreement with the emperor was another reason.

But in his position, Yu Qian still felt that he should express his opinion, although he knew that the emperor would not listen, Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty, since Your Majesty was in power, there have been many major events, the amount of tax revenue in and out of the imperial court, the ministers think that the people are sufficient, and the country is not deficient, and now the south is more important than grain, and the north is more important than service." If Your Majesty wants to achieve great harmony, there is no need to reduce the labor and light taxes, and rest with the people, such as the heavy endowment in the south of the Yangtze River and the heavy service in the Jiubian Post Estate, can be reduced as appropriate, so that the people can enjoy the prosperity of peace together. ”

Zhu Qizhen was silent for a while.

Actually, he knew.

Zhou Chen's financial reform is more centered on the household department, and it is a reform at the central level.

And the clearing of acres of land has not reduced much burden on the people.

The emphasis in the north on service and the emphasis on grain in the south has not changed at all.

Even with the enhancement of the national strength of the imperial court, the people have paid a little more than before.

This is also a different interpretation of the current situation.

Zhu Qizhen wanted to make a thorough reform and open up the road to an industrial society in the Ming Dynasty. But Yu Qian's idea is to subtract again, limit the expenses of the imperial court, and maintain the operation of the imperial court at the same time. Let it benefit the people and reduce the burden on the people. Let the people live a little better.

Actually, really speaking, let an ordinary old farmer here. It is estimated that they raised their hands in agreement with Yu Qian's opinion.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen sees further, in order to promote the reform of the law, he must have more resources in his hands, and the result of industrialization is a good thing and benevolent government for the people, but the process of industrialization is difficult to say.

Now there is only Zhu Qizhen's lonely insistence.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen deeply understood Shang Jun's words: "The fool is secretly in success, and the knower is seen in the unbudding, and the people can not start with worry, but can be happy." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I have memorized what Mr. said. ”

It's just a matter of writing it down. Zhu Qizhen's voice changed and said, "Mr. thinks it is feasible to revitalize the school? ”

Speaking of this situation, what else can Yu Qian say? It's just that his heart to go rose again from his heart and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and the old minister is not as good." ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at Yu Qian's appearance and knew that Yu Qian could not stay in the cabinet for a long time.

Even Yu Qian used his prestige to help Zhu Qizhen complete the Biyong Meeting, which was already to repay the kindness of the acquaintance between the monarch and the minister. You must know that Yu Qian is more pragmatic. But I don't think that Yu Qian said to the fifth generation of the so-called new ram, how much he believed.

In fact, the same is true of the entire imperial court today.

How many people are really convinced by the Ram V theory as a set of theories? It is also counted in Zhu Qizhen's heart.

Zhu Qizhen secretly said in his heart: "The adjustment of the cabinet cannot be delayed any longer. ”

In the past, he had been dragging the cabinet adjustment, because what he wanted now was a cabinet that fully supported the reform of the law, and had the ability to change the law, and he had to carefully consider each and every one of them.

Without him, he wants to use the cabinet to suppress hundreds of officials and promote various changes.

That's why he's so slow to come to a conclusion.

It's just that, no matter how many people believe in the theory of changing the law, in short, the change has entered the implementation stage from the gestation stage, and if it is said that there is still some meaning to appease the courtiers, the following changes are not so gentle.

Therefore, he urgently needs a strong cabinet support.

Yu Qian didn't seem to have this in mind.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Sir, let's release the news." ”

After Yu Qian and Zhu Qizhen agreed on their opinions, the relevant content of the Xingxue Order soon appeared in Ming Pao.

Now Daming is also accustomed to the existence of Ming Pao.

It is also normal for the government decree to be blown on the Ming Pao before it is officially drafted.

It's just that this news came out, so that many people first lost their voices, and then began to sing praises to the emperor, after all, the matter of running a school, in Confucian theory, can be regarded as political correctness.

From the point of view, this one thing is unassailable.

But there is still a lot of debate on the details.

As a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, Shang Shi presided over the compilation of middle school textbooks.

It took more than two months to compile the framework of the secondary school textbook.

Shang Chen presented the middle school textbooks that had just been compiled to Zhu Qizhen to see.

Zhu Qizhen opened it and took a look, but found that half of the content of the textbook was the content of science, and none of the four books and five classics were left behind, so it can be said that as long as you study well in middle school, you can take the imperial examination.

Zhu Qizhen looked up and wanted to talk.

Shang Chen said: "Your Majesty, the minister also has to do this. Otherwise, the Ministry of Rites will not be able to pass at all. ”

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a moment, sighed softly, and said: "Focus on the content of the Spring and Autumn Period on the Legend of the Spring and Autumn Ram, and the other two parts can be put aside." ”

Just as Marx's principles are indispensable in university textbooks, it is absolutely impossible not to study the Four Books and the Five Classics in the schools of the Ming Dynasty.

The influence of science is definitely not something that Zhu Qizhen can overcome with a single victory. However, Zhu Qizhen can't mess around in the imperial examination, but in the middle school textbooks, the idea of re-raming is also okay.

Shang Zhen said: "The minister understands, and the minister will change it." ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and continued to read, the other textbooks in middle school are water conservancy, paperwork, mathematics, accounts, and a series of skills that must be mastered by young officials.

Immediately, Zhu Qizhen closed the book in his hand and said, "That's all for the time being, as long as you do it well, the book of the Ministry of Rites will be yours in the future." ”

Shang Chen said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Qizhen doesn't have to control the Ministry of Rites, but he allows so-called people to restrict him in the name of the Ministry of Rites, so when he enters the Ministry of Rites, Li Shi has also been an envoy many times, and he is a person who understands the times and is flexible, and he will not do anything in the future.

After Zhu Qizhen sent the business away.

The first decree of Zhu Qizhen's reform was implemented by the Ministry of Rites, and 32 middle schools were jointly established, each of which could only accommodate a few hundred students.

Even so, there are as many as 20,000 or 30,000 students across the country.

However, it is estimated that it will be a few years from now, especially in some remote places, such as Lhasa, and it is estimated that in a few years, Lhasa's middle school can be built, which is a good result.

After dealing with this matter, the prince came to say goodbye.

Now, the turmoil of the Biyong Society has gradually subsided. Zhu Qizhen didn't want to keep the prince in Jingshi anymore. First, at the time of the Biyong Meeting, there was more of a conflict of ideas.

Zhu Qizhen was willing to leave the prince behind and let him feel some of this atmosphere.

But the next thing will be implemented on specific matters, but Zhu Qizhen is worried that many ministers will deliberately encircle the prince.

At that time, Zhu Qizhen may not be able to hold back.

Zhu Qizhen may not have felt it himself, he has long been a ruthless politician. In his heart, his great cause of changing the law is much more important than his son's life.

He wanted to release his son in advance, although he avoided the conflict between father and son. But if there is a conflict between father and son because of the change of the law. So what will he do?

This seems like a no-brainer.

It's just that the crown prince reported a happy event and said: "Father, the crown princess is pregnant." ”

Zhu Qizhen listened, and was first overjoyed. Although he is in his early forties, he is about to hold his grandson. Let him be a little unaccustomed. But the inheritance of royal blood is always a happy thing for him.

It's just that he immediately noticed that the prince looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Immediately understood the prince's thoughts.

This is the crown prince's first child.

Of course, it's not that the prince doesn't have a woman outside, but Zhu Qizhen warned the prince that the eldest son must be born to the crown princess, so as to avoid a lot of trouble.

But the prince is away all the year round, and the time he stays in Beijing is not too long, which is the reason why the prince has been married for several years before he has his first child.

In this way, the prince inevitably has a love for his son and does not want to go to Annan.
