A man needs a bloodline continuation.

A family needs to have offspring to spread out.

An empire that needs an heir.

The news that Princess Han was pregnant quickly spread all over the Han Dynasty. Although I don't know if it's a man or a woman, it's still a great joy.

Although Zhu Wu is young and strong, the head of a country has no heirs, which has always been a hidden danger for the country.

In the hearts of traditional ministers, from a small family to a large country, whether it is prosperous or not depends on two words, people.

The so-called one has two, in the hearts of the ministers, in the future, Zhu Wu will not only lead the Han Dynasty to victory in the military, but also move forward in giving birth to children.

Han King Zhu Wuyi has always been frugal, and the day after Xie Lian'er became pregnant, the Xie family chose to send dozens of servants into the palace, and the precious medicinal materials that nourished the body were sent countless times.

It is said that Mr. Xie sprinkled incense money in the famous Big Buddha Temple in Nanjing, asking God to worship Buddha and bless his daughter to give birth to a boy.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that his money went into the temple with the front foot, and the back foot was collected by the government into the treasury.

Now under Zhu Wu's rule, in all famous temples, there are two monks who eat official meals, one is in charge of money and the other is in charge of accounts.

What the people believed, what they gived, and how much they giv. Zhu Wu doesn't care. However, the incense money, except for the tenth of the temple expenses, the rest is taxed.

But just like that, Zhu Wu found that he still received less, because no matter what, the monks were all full of red faces, and they were definitely not as full of vegetables as the poor people.

Not only that, but in addition to the incense money, all the property of the temple and other temples were confiscated. In Zhu Wu's words, your monk has no quarrel with the world, you have no distractions to do with so much property, and you don't have a son to inherit the property!

Even those thousand-year-old trees in the ancient temples of the famous temple, Zhu Wu has made people mark, and from now on they do not belong to the property of the temple, and they must not be easily cut down and touched, and a leaf will be dropped, and the monks will all sing and sing.

And on a whim, he also wrote a limerick poem.

Ten years of wood into a tree, a hundred years of trees have a soul.

I have listened to the Dharma for thousands of years, but I have not seen anyone who recites the scriptures.

Autumn leaves are always falling, and the branches reflect the dusk.

Time has become a sea, and monks love red dust.

Then, Zhu Wutian shamelessly asked people to engrave this poem on the shadow wall of the temple, saying that it would be left for future generations to understand.

As a result, many literati who went to Beijing to take the exam and borrowed the temple to speculate.

The speculation has no result, but the people have a certain understanding of this beggar-born Han King in terms of cultural skills.

King Han is okay with a knife, forget about the pen!

On the tenth day of Xie Lian'er's pregnancy, in the first year of Hongwu of the Han Dynasty, the first autumn school officially began in Nanjing Lushan Academy.

Nanjing was once the place where the world gathered after the Chinese clothes crossed to the south. For thousands of years, the story of talented and beautiful women has always been played out here.

However, Zhu Wu, the king of Han, did not understand the amorous feelings, not only was he ruthless to the monks, but also forbidden any scenes of wind and snow.

This autumn is a little more solemn and less legendary.

On the day of the beginning of the autumn season, the ten miles of the long street were full of guarded Han princes' troops, and Lushan Academy was separated from the inside and outside, which was quite a bit of the taste of the college entrance examination in later generations.

On both sides of the road, there are people who come to see the demeanor of the big Han opera stars, shoulder to shoulder, chest to back, and there is also some taste of the college entrance examination in later generations.

Zhu Wu, Li Shanchang, Wang Guangyang and other ministers sat on the second floor of the teahouse opposite the examination room, smiling at the entry of the scholars in high spirits.

"Lord!" Li Shanchang smiled on the side, "Recently, the capital is expensive. Scholars from all over the country forcibly raised the price of the Nanjing City Inn by three floors. Many students from poor families had no choice but to live in temples. ”

This is a joke for the occasion, but it is rare not to talk about some life and death events such as killing and cutting today, nor do you say anything about food taxes and annoying things. I said that I should say something interesting.

What's more, Zhu Wu frowned slightly, and asked seriously, "Are there many scholars from poor families?" ”

Li Shanchang was speechless for a while.

Wang Guangyang smiled, "About three tenths!" ”

"That's it! I'll tell you a charter! Zhu Wu thought about it and said with a smile, "From those confiscated mansions in Nanjing, pick out a place and give it to those poor scholars who come to Beijing to live." At the same time, the household department took out some money. No, I will take some money from the expenses of my Han Wangfu and give it to the poor scholars as a round-trip fare. ”

"Lord Shengming!"

All the ministers stood up solemnly and said in unison. Li Shanchang is okay, those courtiers who later served Zhu Wu and have the fame of Meng Yuan's promotion of people and scholars are even a little moved.

"The lord's move is a story for the ages!"

Wang Guangyang is the leader among these people, Meng Yuan Jinshi and the first, when Tu is attached to the service.

Li Shanchang is a little strange, Zhu Wu is disdainful of literati in his heart, and even more disdainful of the utilitarianism of scholars, how can he suddenly become a corporal of Lixian today.

At this time, a cannon rang out, the door of the examination room was closed, and several Han princes and soldiers stood like gods.

"Although I sometimes speak a little mean to readers. But in my heart, I really love talents. ”

Zhu Wu shortened the tea bowl and said slowly, "Although I have a bad background, I respect scholars the most. The state will take scholars, and scholars will come from among the scholars.

Even though some people who read books get more and more crooked, they can't generalize. We can't forget the integrity and ability of our Han people and scholars for thousands of years because of some bed bugs. ”

The ministers were sycophants again, "Lord Shengming!" ”

"If you are holy or not, you don't count, the people have the final say!" Zhu Wu smiled again, "Whether you are a good official or not, whether you are a virtuous scholar or not, it is not you who have the final say, not the exam, and it is not me who has the final say." It's still the people who have the final say.

The country takes scholars, and what kind of scholars are taken out, which can best reflect the style and spirit of a dynasty. For example, the Tang Dynasty is majestic, and the selected taxis can not only go to the country and return to their hometowns, worry about the country and the people, but also have beautiful mountains and rivers, and be fierce! ”

The ministers couldn't help nodding, and even many people secretly thought in their hearts, what is the origin of King Han? Judging by his words and deeds, it is not something that can be educated by the people's family.

"But when it comes to the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to a worry about the world. It's all wind, flowers, and flowers. In addition to this wind and rain all day long, it is either this love and that sorrow.

I don't understand all the stuff that I wrote, the court is feeding and drinking, what the hell is there to worry about? It's not this love, beauty. The man who led the court wrote this, what kind of scholar is it? ”

(I deliberately portrayed Zhu Wu, who is such a person who does not learn and has no skills)

At this time, the faces of the ministers became strange again. As soon as I thought you were right, I immediately started talking nonsense again.

Fortunately, there are no historians around, otherwise it will become a joke for the ages. There is the Song generation, who is worried about the country and the people, and there are countless poets.

However, they can only think about it in their hearts, even if they say it, Zhu Wu will take care of it. Just having feelings is a fart, how many have you gone to the battlefield?

Everyone frowned, and listened to Zhu Wu continue, "So I prefer poor scholars more, our Han doesn't need to be as majestic as the Tang Dynasty, but we can't be as graceful as the Great Song Dynasty."

The selected taxis do not need any poetry and songs, what they need is to be down-to-earth, know the people's suffering, know how to let the people live a stable life, and know that we let the people have enough to eat. ”

When he said this, everyone listened.

"Down-to-earth, diligent, is my requirement for a scholar!" Zhu Wu smiled, and said with a straight face, "I plan to build another department separately, with a minister in charge, and it will be ranked with the six departments." ”

Why did you say this all of a sudden?

Everyone's ears were pricked up, and the ministers of the six ministries were the core figures of the Han Dynasty.

Only Li Shanchang was scared to death in his heart, don't say anything about the Independent Commission Against Corruption here, don't say it.

Otherwise, the following imperial examinations will be in vain.

Zhu Wu's gaze swept on the faces of these official fans, and he smiled, "School! ”

Isn't the school department and the Ministry of Rites in charge of the world's scholars and scholars, what?

"The school department is not only in charge of the world's scholars, scholars!" Zhu Wu continued, "The school department should establish a public school within the territory of the Han Dynasty. There is at least one in each county, and there can be two in the upper county of the population. ”

Isn't this just government learning? Many thought to themselves.

"The public school has evolved from the original official school!" Zhu Wu seemed to know the thoughts of these people, and said, "But it is definitely different from official learning. First of all, the first point is that among the people, the innocent sons of good families can read for free. ”

"Buzz!" The ministers flickered, this is an unprecedented thing, and it is a matter that will leave a name in history.

"The teacher will be selected from the local readers, and in a few years, we will have students in the country, and we can also be selected to teach in the local area, of course, you can't get a lot of money to be a teacher. However, resume, hehe! ”

Everyone listened quietly, their minds racing. Teaching can't all depend on money, being a teacher is what a reader pursues.

Besides, no matter how poor you are, you won't be poor teachers. The parents asked the local big families to donate a little, which was enough for the expenses, not to mention the resume.

"The county public school is mainly Meng, not limited to reading and reading, but also can teach some arithmetic and bookkeeping and other things that can make a living."

Zhu Wu said slowly, "The public school has a three-year system, and the exam is taken once a year, and the results are excellent." You can send it to the school and continue to study for free. Poor children can live in the school, anyway, the house is there, not bad for a bed. In the future, we can also set up scholarships to reward poor scholars. ”

The hearts of the people are turbulent, so as to open the wisdom of the people and win the hearts of the people in the world, this is a rare virtue in ancient times!

"What I say is just my initial thoughts, and it's just a direction. Specifically, you ministers have to discuss, but ponder and decide! ”

Zhu Wu then said with a smile, "I have two major wishes in this life, one is to let the people of the world be fed, and the other is that all the young people in the world are well-read and reasonable, and they should not be blind."

Although Meng Yuan is now pressing us, the final result of the Han is not yet available, and others will say that I am not ashamed to speak up.

But we can't stop doing these things just because the world is undecided and the future is uncertain. Because after the world is decided, there will be things after the great decision! ”

Everyone is excited, King Han is so open-minded, why is the world unhappy.

At this time, Zhu Wu smiled at the contemplative Li Shanchang, "Lao Li, the school department is a department that spends money, and in the future, I will have to reach out to you, the big housekeeper, to ask for money, if you are embarrassed and tell me, I can draw some out of the salt tax every year!" ”

"No!" Li Shanchang stood up excitedly and bowed, "My lord, the household department is rich!" As long as this money is used on the world's scholars, the minister will scrape the ground and make money! ”

"Good, good!" Zhu Wu said three times in a row, "I know that your Lao Li is an understanding person!" As he spoke, he looked at everyone again, and said in a long voice, "What about this school minister?" ”

The ministers hurriedly pricked up their ears and looked at Zhu Wu intently. Some people who have meritorious names are even thinking about whether to go to school or not, please transfer to the school.

Zhu Wu smiled, and suddenly the conversation changed, "I think, it's better to be the minister of the school, let's find a famous Confucian in the world!" Minister, there are directors and deputies, and one person can't manage such a big stall, how about inviting a few more famous universities to ask questions? ”

"Lord Shengming!"

Everyone praised, but Li Shanchang was silent in thought.

Because Zhu Wu's smile is too familiar to him, who is he digging a pit for, and who is he calculating? Or rather, counting a certain group?
