Chapter 42 The New Officials of the Ming Dynasty

On the 10th day of December in the first year of the Apocalypse, today is a special day for the Ming Dynasty, because today the first batch of crash course officials of the "Daming Official School" graduated, they are different from the old-style officials who entered the Hanlin Academy after being admitted to the Jinshi and then went to the local office, they are formally trained in the semi-military management of the "Daming Official School", standardized, modern civil servant officials, Zhu Youxiao taught them to be different in the concept of doing official work, they are public service personnel who do things for the people, not a high-ranking official.

Zhu Youxiao as the principal of the "Ming Officials School" school, he personally participated in the graduation ceremony of the first graduating students, accompanied by Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Sun Shenxing and others, when Zhu Youxiao took the stage to speak, the students below sounded thunderous applause, for the officials who can become the protégés of the Son of Heaven, the mood at the moment is extraordinary, Zhu Youxiao's attention will mean that their future is bright.

"Dear students, as the first batch of students graduating from the 'Daming Official School', you will be the first batch of new-style officials in the Ming Dynasty, and you will be an example for all the students to learn in the future.

"After half a year of training, everyone must have understood my concept of governance, that is, the Ming Dynasty is not my world, the Ming Dynasty is the world of all the people, I am only their public service personnel managers, and everyone is a public service personnel who serve the people, will no longer be a high-ranking official, the people's life, old age, sickness and death, the people's firewood, rice, oil and salt will be the object of everyone's concern, whether the people can live and work in peace and contentment will be everyone's main task.

"After half a year of training, we have a preliminary understanding of the basic knowledge of being a new-style official, and the simplest thing we have learned is how to guide the people to plant new high-yield crops, and this year's goal is how to vigorously promote the planting of new-style crops. We must remember that although the new crop is high-yielding, it may not be suitable for all soils, and the promotion and planting of crops must be the voluntary planting behavior of the people, not forced, but only guided, so that the people can understand the benefits of the new crops in practice. As long as the yield of new crops is high, and the people who grow new crops have surplus food at home, more people will recognize it. There are also various eating methods and storage methods of new crops, which must be promoted, otherwise it will be half the effort, but it will affect the promotion of new crops.

"We still have an arduous task, that is, to implement universal education, ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, only to comprehensively improve the cultural level of the people, in order to improve the quality of the population of the Ming Dynasty, in order to better improve the living standards of the people. My request was to build a primary school in every village in the Ming Dynasty, so that every child between the ages of six and thirteen could know and be proficient in 1,500 commonly used Chinese characters, which would take at least three years, and my slogan was 'Even if I go bankrupt, let the people of the Ming Dynasty be literate'.

"The specific learning method is the same as what everyone learned in this half-year training. First of all, starting from the popularization of Chinese pinyin program, so that every student can be familiar with this auxiliary learning tool, this method Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing has been completely taught to everyone, I hope you promote it in their own area of responsibility, each county first set up a promotion class, that is, the county school. It takes about two months for every student in the prefectural school to understand this teaching method within a month, and then to spread it to every child. Let the children popularize the teaching in every village, let the students continue to learn every natural knowledge that the family has learned here, and then teach it to the children, and so on and so forth, until everyone has taught everything they have learned.

"The second is to really ask everyone not only to be able to read and teach, but also to live and teach, and flexibly apply a variety of different teaching methods, not to let these children read to death, to read dead books, combined with the actual situation in the countryside, to inspire children's interest in reading, so that children can have fun in reading. Don't extinguish children's nature, guide them well in all kinds of interests and even pranks that children show in learning, and don't maliciously suppress them.

"Also, if you find a very talented child, remember to recommend it, these talents are not only manifested in literacy learning, but also include arithmetic calculations, toy making and other aspects of talent, and even to whimsical ideas, I hope you will find and find these children with your heart, don't let these talented children fend for themselves, this will be the loss of our Ming Dynasty. We must remember one of my words: education is the foundation of a century-old plan.

"This time, all of us graduates will go to Shandong to take up jobs, and the scope of employment is all over Shandong, and I hope that everyone will have a detailed understanding of the people's situation after they arrive, and each group of two will help each other, and we will discuss what to do. In addition, I will also equip you with two technical colleagues selected from the 'Daming Technical School', and we will become a four-person team, and we should give full play to the spirit of coordination and cooperation, and do not tear each other down. The results of the coordination and cooperation of the four-person group are also one of the important indicators for future inspection and evaluation. In order for everyone to understand each other's personalities, styles, and ways of doing things, and get the best combination, we also have to play a coordinated game, hoping that everyone will not hide clumsy and play to the fullest, so that the examiners can make the best combination according to your assessment. ”

After Zhu Youxiao's tirade was finished, more than 200 students from the "Daming Technical School" were selected, but these students were not ideal in their grades, and Zhu Youxiao, who had good grades, was reluctant to let them come out early. But even these people are more than enough to be sent to county schools and rural areas to become teachers, because they have received all-military training, which is more rigorous than the "Daming Official School" This group of crash course students has received more rigorous training, and their professional knowledge is even more incomparable, and Zhu Youxiao strengthened his training for another month before being transferred.

In the following half month, a series of unique competitions were held in the "Daming Official School". The first game is mahjong, in the mahjong game, it is divided into group rounds, knockout rounds, and finals, according to the results of the game to determine each person's calculation and strategy ability. Next up is the chess competition, which is a two-player and four-player tournament, which takes into account both the individual's ability to fight and the ability of the two to cooperate. Finally, the Go tournament is held, and in order to give full play to everyone's ability, it is divided into a limited-time tournament and an unlimited tournament, of course, the unlimited time means that the longest can be played for the next day, and the game cannot be played indefinitely. Go is divided into individual competitions, pairs, and four-person team competitions, especially the four-person team competition is the cooperation of two "Daming Official School" and two "Daming Technical School", which will determine the appointment of each four-person group.

After a fierce and high-intensity half-month competition, the students went to relax, and Zhou Jiamo began to get busy. Zhu Youxiao summoned all the members of the cabinet, plus the officials in charge of the inspection of the ministry, and even invited people from the missionaries who knew psychology to jointly formulate the appointment of the officials.

This has never happened in the Ming Dynasty or even in the past dynasties, for the thinking of the officials and Qingliu, Zhu Youxiao's approach completely subverted their perception of the appointment of officials, they also had to oppose it, and even roared in the court, Zhu Youxiao let it go, left the book in the middle of the book, roared and ignored it, and there were people who tried to go on a hunger strike, starved him for three days and then let people carry him home, and ordered Sun Ruyou to lobby his family.

Zhu Youxiao had to pay attention to the appointment of this official, which would be the starting point of the reform of the Ming Dynasty and the most basic foundation for the Chinese nation to lead the world in the future. Zhu Youxiao will never allow anyone to sabotage this appointment, these people will be Zhu Youxiao's capital to revitalize the Ming Dynasty in the future.
