Chapter 162: Innovation
Although he doesn't know much about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Wang Hua probably knows some of his habits of doing things.
Although he didn't know what this Ming Royal Academy was for, he still knew what ordinary academies were for. Although there was some hesitation in his heart, Wang Hua didn't ask, 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 bush and directly said this matter.
Glancing at Wang Hua in surprise, Zhu Houzhao continued: "Wang Aiqing, this matter is going to be handed over to you by the palace. This sacrificial sake of the Royal Academy, the main palace intends for you to make it. The palace has already asked my father to play, and my father has already agreed. This is a document written by this palace, Wang Aiqing can take a look at it first. ”
"If you feel that there is something inappropriate, or something that needs to be improved, Aiqing can bring it up, and we will discuss it together."
Wang Hua hurriedly said: "The minister's decree." ”
After speaking, he took the document handed over by Liu Jin and quickly flipped through it.
This document is not very thick, and the content in it is not very much, it is probably a framework, for example, why such a college was established was written earlier.
On the document, Zhu Houzhao elaborated on the reasons for his establishment of this Ming Royal Academy.
Although Wang Hua watched it quickly, he also watched it very carefully.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only said why he wanted to establish the Royal Academy, Wang Hua still saw something different from this.
The simplest example is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is dissatisfied with the current Ming officials, and at the same time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has put forward new requirements for officials on this.
Those who are officials must not only study to the death, but also understand the people's livelihood, arithmetic, taxation, laws, and even criminal names and military affairs.
To sum up, in a word, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince requires officials to be able to do a lot of things, and it is absolutely impossible to know little or nothing about people's livelihood like now.
At the same time, Wang Hua also thought of another thing, that is, the examination method implemented by His Royal Highness the Prince. In the current Ming Dynasty, there are two places where the examination method is implemented, 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 the Crown Prince will definitely not wait too long.
In addition to this, there is also the Daming Tax Division.
When the Department of Taxation was first established, it was to collect taxes from nobles and relatives. But the size of the current tax department has long since exceeded the needs of this matter.
If it was only to collect taxes from nobles and relatives, there would be no need for such a large-scale tax department. Now that the tax department is all over the Ming Dynasty, His Royal Highness the Prince's intentions are already obvious.
Wang Hua saw more ambitions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from here, and it was obvious that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ready to train the officials he wanted.
Why train the officials you want?
The answer is simple.
First, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not satisfied 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 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 the Crown Prince, or there will be many people who oppose His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Why?
Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to implement a new policy.
Although Wang Hua is flipping through the papers, his heart is constantly flipping.
He knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was afraid that he was going to do it, and the scale of the new deal this time was bound to be not small, and there might even be a large-scale reduction of officials, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needed to train new officials to fill the vacancy.
If he takes over this errand from the Royal Academy, then he will undoubtedly be on the cusp.
On the one hand, he will become the leader of the officials of the reform school, after all, these newly trained officials are his own students;
On the other hand, he will be resisted and impeached by countless people.
In such a situation, how should you choose?
didn't think about it for too long, Wang Hua made a decision.
He and his son had long been tied to the chariot of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it was too late to retreat now.
Even if he can retreat, his son will not be able to retreat. What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a stable position and strong strength, why should he retire?
Following His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may be able to do a great job. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the only son of His Majesty, holding the Black Dragon Army and controlling the Strange Zhai at the same time. What's more, whether it is a noble family or a general, there are countless people who support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince; Even among the civilian officials, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has many supporters, and there is basically 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 at it myself.
Closing the paperwork in his hand, Wang Hua looked up at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness has thought very thoroughly, and the minister has no idea for a while. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Hua paused slightly, and then continued: "Chen go back and think about it. If you have any ideas, the minister will report to His Highness again. ”
"In that case, Aiqing will go back first!" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
When Wang Hua left, Zhu Houzhao stood up. went straight to the gate of the palace and stretched gently, with a somewhat relaxed expression on his face.
is different from when he first came, Zhu Houzhao at this time is much calmer, after all, he has the strength in his hands, and he is already invincible when he holds the Black Dragon Army.
No one on the steppe can find trouble for themselves, and when Horqin comes to surrender this time, there will only be one Dayan Khan who is hiding far away.
To the northwest, there is no threat above the loop. Once the construction of Yinchuan Baotou and other cities is completed, then the northwest will be free of trouble, but it will become a land of wealth for the Ming Dynasty.
The same goes for Liaodong.
When the Ming Dynasty occupied Hami and Dunhuang, and the trade routes to the west were opened, the entire north was almost laid out by itself.
As for the conquest of Dayan Khan, it can start at the right time, but Zhu Houzhao is not in a hurry.
The next place to start is internal affairs, and the first thing to push is naturally the examination law and the Daming Taxation Department.
We will use the examination method to clean up the ranks of officials, and at the same time use the tax department to rein in local tax powers, and at the same time start training new officials.
Once this thing is done, you can reform the core part, that is, to spread the land into the acre and return it 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 was no war in the south, and there was no rebellion, so the number of some troops could be appropriately reduced. After recruiting, improve the quality and sophistication of the equipment, so that you can spend less money.
As for the expansion of the army, let's wait until the Ming Dynasty needs to start a war in the south.
With the money saved and the energy set aside, Zhu Houzhao was ready to throw himself into the navy.
Wealth comes from the sea, and so does danger.
Zhu Houzhao will naturally not forget.
