Wang Xijiu replied: "Not much, the students of the Guozijian are deeply favored by the emperor, the imperial court's finances are difficult and even the palace has reduced food and clothing, but it still provides the students with food and lodging, as well as summer clothes and winter are lost by pen and ink, and even their families are exempted from forced labor. ”

Zhu Biao nodded casually after hearing this. He only believed half of this, and he was not sure whether the students of the Guozijian were grateful for the emperor's grace, but the rules were so strict that they would not dare to offend because of fear.

At present, there are more than 2,000 students in Guozijian, and now they are all studying in the house, or reciting poems or making articles.

However, Zhu Biao also knew that he was followed by a large group of people, and what he could see was what people wanted him to see, so he led people back to the front yard and instructed: "The rules of Guozijian are too harsh, and the students are the cornerstone of my future Daming, so we must educate them well, but we must also pay attention to proportion." ”

Wang Xijiu smiled bitterly: "The old minister has also played, but the destiny of heaven is difficult to disobey........."

Zhu Biao also knew that this was a rule set by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the people of Guozijian did not dare to refute it, but this was not a reason for them to shirk, so he turned around and looked at them coldly: "Presumptuous!" In the past two years, the people and students who have served in the local government have performed mediocrely, and the saint is also quite disappointed, and the imperial court has spent huge resources to support them, is this how you cultivate pillars for the interests of the country? ”

These words were too serious, and the officials of the Guozijian knelt down in fear: "The ministers have failed the emperor's grace, and they also ask the prince's palace to surrender their crimes." ”

Liu Jin on the side saw that Zhu Biao did not mean to enter the house, so he lifted a chair from inside, Zhu Biao sat down and looked at the rows of black yarn heads in front of him and said: "How to not mention it for the time being, you immediately set up new rules and send them to the East Palace, Guozijian is a place to cultivate pillars, not to cultivate firewood, if you can't produce talents in the future, that is, you are not enterprising, ignorant and incompetent, what is the fate of incompetent officials in this dynasty, you don't need to be mentioned by this palace." ”

The kneeling people naturally kowtowed to promise, although they served in the Guozijian but also served as officials of the imperial court, and naturally knew that the recent internal storm was coming, and if they accidentally bumped into it, they would not die.

Zhu Biao didn't let them get up, and then instructed: "In the future, the Four Books and Five Classics should be read, but they should be more practical. ”

When the priest of the country heard this, he replied: "Your Highness's meaning is understood, and the ministers will definitely not let the Holy Lord and His Highness down again." ”

Zhu Biao waved them to get up: "Go and gather the students, this palace has something to say to them." ”

Liu Jin handed over a cup of tea from the side, Zhu Biao took it and took a sip, the people of Guozijian went to gather the students, Zhu Biao was thinking about it, thinking of encouraging the students to develop towards mathematics, physics and chemistry, but now there are only so many people in Guozijian, and it is not enough to supply the imperial court.

can only slow down, the urgent need is in front of him, his father and the emperor butcher knife together, at least tens of thousands of officials will die this year, these people have a radish and a pit, and if they are dug out, they have to find someone to fill it, or who will do the government affairs.

The students of Guozijian and the new science and technology jinshi are not satisfied, and they have to spend private recommendations and gentry to enter the ranks, but these people are not greedy?

In the end, you have to kill and fill in, this is the case in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, the social atmosphere is not something that can be reversed overnight, and now this generation is basically used to corruption and bribery.

To tell the truth, Zhu Biao thought about persuading him, and he would start to purge the officials a few years later, so that he could reserve some spare talents, but when he thought about this kind of thing, it would be hard work in the past few years.

Wait, when the rule of officials is almost cleared, and the corruption of officials is curbed, Zhu Biao will persuade his father to slow down, there is nothing wrong with using heavy codes in troubled times, but it is not wrong to govern a big country like cooking Xiaoxian, and the combination of rigidity and softness is the way of the king.

At that time, presumably the country will have a little surplus food, large-scale universal education is impossible, and the benefits are too slow, it is better to concentrate resources on elite education, he is a liberal arts student, but he also knows that mathematics, physics and chemistry are the most needed in this era.

After a while, the students were gathered in the square, Zhu Biao also got up and walked over, the formation over there was quite neat, more than 2,000 students in the future generations, but in this era, these people are basically the dragon and phoenix among the people, there is no need to cultivate under the scorching sun, no need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, the court has its own supply, what they need is to study and become officials.

Zhu Biao looks similar to the students below in his regular clothes today, and the students also looked at him curiously, knowing that this is their future lord, I have to say that the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang are still very good at brainwashing, and the eyes of these students are very hot.

Zhu Biao walked to the high platform and stood facing the students, and the rest of them stood one step behind him, their waists slightly bent, so that they could bow back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at any time.

I don't know if I have practiced, after Zhu Biao stood still, more than 1,000 people knelt down in unison to greet him: "Students, please see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness Qianqiu!" ”

The Confucian robes are quite generous, but they also have a different kind of beauty when they salute, Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction, it is also very exciting to be bowed by so many people, no matter how many times Su Su is itching in his heart.

The people behind Zhu Biao naturally didn't dare to bear it, and they all stood sideways to show that they couldn't accept it, seeing that Zhu Biao nodded, Liu Jin shouted beside him: "Don't be polite." ”

After everyone got up, Zhu Biao asked them to come closer, after all, he didn't want to shout at the top of his voice, it would be too undignified, but in the era when there was no loudspeaker, it was not easy for more than 2,000 people to hear it.

had to let people go below as a human flesh mouthpiece, and the students were also very well-behaved, and there was no exchange of heads, Zhu Biao glanced around and said: "Today, the palace came to see you in order to select the right people to serve the country, and the saint intends to purge the rule of officials, and send the Qin to investigate the corruption of local officials, but the people are uncertain, I don't know if any of you are willing to take on the big responsibility." ”

Those who could directly hear Zhu Biao's words at the front knelt down first, and as the information was passed to the back, there were no students standing in the square: "Students are willing to serve the imperial court, thoroughly investigate corruption, and return the world to a bright future!" ”

"For the sake of the country, the students will definitely live up to the expectations of the saints, and the corrupt officials will never coexist with my mortal enemies!"

Zhu Biao was not surprised to listen to the following petition, ninety-nine of the hundred officials wanted to be clean officials at the beginning, after all, the books they read since childhood taught them this, but how many people can really enter the officialdom out of the mud without being stained with clear ripples without demons?
