Zhu Yujian really can't wait that the ground in the hall is sand, and he is the kind of big bird that Zheng Zhilong gave him, so he buries his head in the sand!

After pretending to be dead for a long time and not being able to dodge, Zhu Yujian had to bow down and say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the fact of the railway is a great thing that is meritorious in the present and beneficial in the future, and Weichen is willing to sponsor 20 million or 50 million yuan for the construction of the railway." ”

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "What Uncle Wang said is too polite."

Before the words fell, Wu Ganlai turned to Zhu Yujian and bowed: "Minister, Wu Ganlai, thank you, Your Highness!" ”

It's over, it's a complete hammer!

Although his heart was dripping blood, Zhu Yujian still smiled generously and helped Wu Ganlai: "Wu Butang is polite, the widow and Wu Butang both work for His Majesty, why do you need to be so polite?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen's teeth can be used as gold envoys, Zhu Yujian is the number one vassal king in the Ming Dynasty, and his teeth can be used as silver even if they can't be used as gold.

Zhu Yujian, who was in a bad mood because of the heavy bleeding just now, naturally wanted to fight for some more benefits for himself: "Your Majesty, since it is to build some experimental railways, there are no manned railways on Xinming Island now, why don't you build two on Xinming Island for experiments?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen scolded Zhu Yujian in his heart, shameless.

The place on Xinming Island is vast and sparsely populated, and there are few people except kangaroos, so there is a use in building this kind of experimental railway?

As for Zhu Yujian's new city plan before, it was his Xinming Island, what does it have to do with me? Why should I build a railroad there? It's not that I feel unhappy when I see my own money!

Emperor Chongzhen finally responded with a smile, after all, Zhu Yujian paid the money, and the necessary comfort and preferential treatment still had to be given, otherwise it would be passed on to future generations, wouldn't future generations say that I was unkind?

After successfully pitting Zhu Yujian for a sum of money, the style of painting in the court instantly became harmonious, and it was no longer the tense appearance just now, and the topic also turned to the spring test of Chongzhen's twenty-sixth year.

Emperor Chongzhen hasn't paid attention to the spring test for a long time.

With the construction of more and more universities, by the end of the twenty-fifth year of Chongzhen, in addition to the royal academy, Daming already had four complete universities in Beijing, Nanjing, Luoyang and Chang'an

In a strict sense, the spring examination has long been out of shape, and has become a war for four universities, and it has long ceased to bear the burden of selecting and promoting talents for governing the country.

Among them, the most arrogant is Jingcheng University - in the capital, backed by the two bigwigs of Guozijian and the Royal Academy, Jingcheng University looks at the other three universities as the five scum of the war.

Then it was sued by Nanjing University, that is, Daming Jinling University, Luoyang University and Chang'an University.

That's right, your Beijing University is awesome, you are indeed in the capital, but our Jinling University is not given for nothing, it is also in the capital, don't believe you ask, who in the whole world dares to say that Nanjing is not the capital of the Ming Dynasty?

Luoyang University and Chang'an University said that Jingcheng University, you are a scumbag, do you know what it is? Two hundred years is a child in thousands of years, okay? Now you're awesome as soon as you gain power?

Of course, it is impossible to really say this, after all, the ancient capital is the ancient capital, and the current Daming capital is the Daming capital.

But if you don't scare Beijing University, how can you show your sense of existence? And how to win the first opportunity in the next battle for talent?

After being reprimanded by the Ministry of Rites, the leader of Jingcheng University was also very aggrieved.

What's the matter, can't students like to come to Beijing University? Do you have to force people to report your three scum? The master is in the capital, backed by the Guozijian and the Royal Academy, this is natural! You white-eyed wolves who walked out of Beijing University! Bah!

The four universities are very happy to grab people, everyone wants to take those good seedlings into their arms, where can they take care of the small things that the four were originally out of the same school, even if the Ministry of Rites spoke, it was still a small action.

Then the leaders of these four universities felt aggrieved after all kinds of filth, and then they kept complaining, and finally they made trouble in the court.

According to common sense, things like these four universities doing things with each other and suing each other really shouldn't be brought to the court, after all, there are more and more complicated things in the court.

But Ni Yuanlu, who couldn't carry the handle of the Ministry of Rites, was unhappy, because Ni Yuanlu felt that he was very wronged.

In the past, the Ministry of Rites didn't have much to say, things were just those things, strictly speaking, the Ministry of Rites was a noble yamen, and there weren't too many things to worry about.

But who can stand all kinds of complaints from the four universities, you sued me today, and I will sue you and them tomorrow, and the entire Ministry of Rites is now being made up of these four bastards.

After Ni Yuanlu finished complaining, Emperor Chongzhen, who had finally watched a big drama, said with a smile: "What does Ni Aiqing mean?" ”

Ni Yuanlu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has discussed with his colleagues in the Ministry of Rites, and thinks that the four of them should be recruited, and then they should be recruited according to different regions. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's face was still smiling: "What about the opinions of the other Aiqing?" ”

Zhu Yujian couldn't sit still at first, and couldn't help but go out of class and play: "Your Majesty, if according to what Ni Butang said, it seems that students from Xinming Island, England, Burma, and Mughal lands should be classified into?" Or let these four universities divide equally?

For example, if you were originally from the capital city, but moved to England because of the immigration of Shibian, will you be classified as Jingjing University or Jinling University? ”

Zhu Yujian felt that he had to stand up and speak for Xinmingdao.

The benefits of this kind of university enrollment can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, even if there are 100 college students in Xinming Island who come to Daming to study and eventually go back to 50, the benefits to Xinming Island are also huge.

After all, there is an example of the Royal Academy in front of you, and those steam engines, railways, and other good things are all made by these scholars.

Now everyone knows that Jingcheng University must be more awesome than Jinling University, Luoyang University, and Chang'an University.

The people under their rule are all over the country, mainly in Shaanxi, if they are divided according to household registration, they will either be divided into Jinling, or Chang'an University, and Beijing University is estimated to have little hope.

Ni Yuanlu also had a headache suddenly, and he didn't expect Zhu Yujian to suddenly jump out to stir up the situation.

What Ni Yuanlu didn't expect was that Zhang Zhiji and Zhu Yujian actually stood on the same front: "Your Majesty, I think what His Royal Highness the King of Tang said is very true."

If according to Ni Butang's words, then the students in places such as Xinming Island and England should be divided according to their original place of origin, rather than by Xinming Island and England. ”

Zhang Zhiji's plan is almost exactly the same as Zhu Yujian's, and even more radical than Zhu Yujian's, after all, the people under Zhu Yujian's rule are all over the country, but the people who migrated to England are mainly around the capital.

The worst thing is that the place of residence of these people has been changed from the capital to England!

In other words, if it is divided according to Ni Yuanlu's zonal admission, these people are most likely to be admitted to Chang'an University and not to Jingcheng University, which is very likely.

This is not good, this is unfair to the people in his fiefdom, and the consequence is likely to make the people in the fiefdom dissatisfied with his grandfather - this grandfather is not stupid, how important the people's hearts are, just look at the one entrenched in the dragon chair.

As soon as Zhang Zhiji moved, the nobles and ministers who had obtained a fief by themselves began to jump out - the people in everyone's fiefdom were also everywhere, but the fiefs were still overseas......

Emperor Chongzhen was naturally happy to continue watching the play.

Since the ministers in the court are willing to perform, they have to be a good audience, and they can no longer lift the table at every turn as before, because there is no need to lift the table now.

Ni Yuanlu was angry and snorted angrily: "If it is divided by grades, does His Royal Highness the King of Tang and the British Duke think it is fair?" ”

Zhu Yujian nodded and said: "Speaking based on results, it is naturally fair, and if they fail the test, they are not as good as others, so there is nothing to complain about." ”

Shouldn't this king spend more money and get more Confucian stuff to go back? I don't know if those people from the Royal Academy can get a few back?

Zhang Zhiji also plans to do the same.

Your Majesty has a saying, the problem that money can solve is not a problem! What happened to Da Ru? As long as the benefits are in place, you can still get a batch to go to England, and Beijing University is beckoning to the people of England!

Ni Yuanlu had an even more headache.

The reason why it is proposed to divide admission by area is that the leaders of Jinling University, Luoyang University, and Chang'an University said that it is too pitty to divide according to grades, and the students are all cheap embryos.

Many students who can go directly to three universities often choose to repeat a year because their admission score is one or two points lower than that of Jingcheng University!

What the fuck can you do that? They all went to Beijing University, what is the meaning of the existence of these three universities? Drink the Northwest Wind?

The result is good now, the three big horses under his command are making a fuss, and Tang Wang and the British Duke also jumped out to stir up the situation and stood on the side of Beijing University.

How should the official of the Ministry of Rites decide?

Looking at Ni Yuanlu, who was in pain, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but have a headache.

The reason why he valued Ni Yuanlu and promoted him to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was because in the original history, after the city of Beijing was broken, Ni Yuanlu was martyred with his family.

In addition, Ni Yuanlu himself is a humble gentleman, although he has spent more than ten years to lead his success astray, but now it seems that he is obviously too angry.

After rubbing his somewhat swollen forehead, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Admission according to grades!" If the skills are not as good as the people, the skills are not as good as the people, and the failure to recruit students is also the responsibility of the three universities.

In addition, starting from this year, repeat students are only allowed to repeat for a maximum of one year, and if they fail to enter a school in the second year, they will either return to their hometowns or obey the arrangement and go to other universities. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's words finally put a final conclusion on this controversy.

To put it bluntly, it is still customary, this year there is no sense of urgency that thousands of troops have passed alone, and the demographic dividend that has just begun to break out has not fully shown its due power, presumably in a few years, it will be a different scene.

Admitted to university and not studying? I'm afraid that it will be more difficult to take the test after repeating!

After a great court meeting dispersed, Emperor Chongzhen, who had a headache, took a few confidants-level horses to hold a meeting in the cabinet.

The main issues were nothing else, but mainly the war in Tsarist Russia, and the chaos in Europe.

Lu Xiangsheng is extremely grateful to his predecessor, Wen Tiren.

If it weren't for Wen Tiren who laid a good foundation when he was in the cabinet, I am afraid that I will have a headache or a headache now - just these two years of immigrating outside are crazy enough!

The population of the Ming Dynasty is large, but it is only for the entire mainland, if it is counted as Xinming Island and the Mughals, as well as England and other places, the entire Ming Dynasty can even be described as sparsely populated.

And the biggest headache for the cabinet is that the Ming Dynasty has not stopped expanding so far, and even can't stop in a short period of time!

Lu Xiangsheng, who was born in the military, knows very well in his heart that the current Ming army is no longer the Ming army that relied on his family to fight the war.

If you want to forcibly put the shackles on the monster of the militaristic system without any turmoil, unless Emperor Chongzhen appears, the cabinet will have no way to take this monster at all.

And Emperor Chongzhen is obviously not the kind of emperor who will give up easily, his old man is now eager to continue fighting, and it is best to be able to plant the whole world with the banner of the Ming Dynasty in his lifetime.

The more clearly he saw this, the more headaches he felt, and the more Lu Xiangsheng felt that it was not easy for his former first assistant Wen Tiren.

Just like now, Emperor Chongzhen and his old man clearly planned to engage in Tsarist Russia, and at the same time stir up the situation in Europe, and the military once again stood firmly behind Emperor Chongzhen.

Tsarist Russia is not a big problem, the question is, what to do after the scolding of people?

It's definitely not okay to throw such a large site there and grow grass, but what can you do if you don't throw long grass? If you want to actually occupy a place, you have to have someone.

What about people?

Man has not yet been born......

The demographic dividend brought by the early Chongzhen period was already very awesome in a certain aspect, such as the blowout of various advanced technologies.

But when it was really needed, the population was still too small, and there were millions of immigrants on Xinming Island alone, and tens of millions on England.

Not to mention the Penglai Continent that is simply idle and growing grass now.

However, the situation in Penglai Island is not at all the same as the situation on the side of Tsarist Russia......
