There were no accidents in the Xiucai parade.

The scholars who already knew Yang Qing's style would not give him excuses, and those street tigers who were waiting for them were waiting for them!

Eventually, the procession, which gathered more than 10,000 talented people and jinshi, ended with the worship of the Temple of Literature, while another group of old officials beat drums in front of the palace and handed over their petition to the prison state. Although everyone knows that this petition will definitely not be seen by the prison state, this process must still be followed.

Then they broke up.

Most of these talents from other places will stay in Nanjing, waiting for more talents to come from all over the country and welcome the holy car together.

Immediately after that, Zhu Cihong also signed the holy decree of the imperial examination reform, and at this time, the first holy decree relaying the declaration of the world had also begun to be posted in various places in the form of notices, and authorized the full text of Yingtian Daily to be published. However, this holy purpose did not cause much impact on the people, at least not like the human declaration of recruiting nuclear weapons, in the final analysis, it is not at all important for the people of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone understands the truth that the emperor is strong and strong. The Mandate of Heaven or something is just a fig leaf, whoever believes it is stupid, if there is really a Mandate of Heaven, then Chongzhen will be driven out of Beijing? Is there really a mandate of heaven, and Longxing will give Li Zicheng four years of captivity, and even need to be ransomed with money?

But it's still good to tear it up after all.

After tearing it, you can completely let people's minds fly.

"Dean, then why is there an emperor?"

In a classroom in the Imperial City, a student bravely asked their dean.

Uh, Dean Yang.

This is the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University opened by Yang Qingkai in a certain sense, the official name is Kunxing Academy, funded by Princess Kunxing, which specializes in teaching the children of martyrs in the army.

Including a women's college.

Princess Akihito attended the women's college.

The students of these two colleges are selected by Huangzhuang from all over the country, and the children of the fallen soldiers are given priority, and it is completely free, and the children of non-fallen soldiers need to pass the examination, that is, the compulsory education school students of Huangzhuang in various places take the exam, and enter the two schools with good grades. The children of the fallen soldiers are exempt from the examination and free of charge, and there are currently more than 3,000 male and female students in the two colleges, but it will definitely continue to increase in the future, but this is not a big deal, because in Yang Qing's plan, the entire imperial city will be a campus in the future.

Yang Qing compiled the textbooks for these students, including the textbooks of the women's college.

Theoretically, he's just a teacher.

However, because he is busy with official business, he can only spare part of his time every day, so most of the students are led by good grades to study on their own, and occasionally there will be people like Song Yingxing and Fu Qingzhu who will also come over to make a cameo, but these people are not popular.

Their level of science is too low.

After all, the textbooks compiled by Yang Qing are already all-encompassing in astronomy and geography, much more than they currently understand, and the generation gap between their ideas and these Yang Qing's outflows is too big, and later as more and more students grow up, these old guys basically don't come. It's that Fu Qingzhu occasionally goes to the women's academy to teach those students, after all, Yang Qing is not good at teaching his sister-in-law some things personally, it is much better to change to a famous Confucian in his forties, most of these female academy students will be nurses and some confidential positions in the future, or teachers in Huangzhuang Academy.

As for the feudal etiquette......

Just ignore that!

Even if they marry in the future, it will definitely be digested within the army, and at this time, Yang Qing's thoughts are also popular in the army, and the younger generation of officers are looking up to Yang Qing, they will not care about their women doing things in the army.

Theoretically, they are students of the prison state.

Obviously, Professor Yang Qing's heresy is too much, when the emperor's aura of destiny was stripped away by the emperor himself in the form of a holy decree, these young generations, who had been instilled with various ideas and obtained a critical point, immediately opened the last floodgates. Since the emperor is not destined by heaven, and since the emperor is also a mortal, why does it have to be an emperor? These students all knew that the erosion before the Ming Dynasty was largely related to feeding those clans, and when Yang Qing kicked out the clans, the financial burden was immediately lifted.

So why do you have to have an emperor, you have to have a royal family?

"So what if there is no emperor?"

Yang Qing said with a smile.

"Students don't know!"

The student was very honest.

"There is indeed a system without an emperor, for example, in the Netherlands now, they only have an archon, and this consul is elected, and it is difficult to say that England has a king at present, because their king is considered by parliament to be a rebellion against the country, so the parliamentary army is at war with the king's army. In addition, Venice and Genoa in the south of Europe did not have emperors or kings, they were also elected by the parliament, and their leader was called Doge, which can be translated as governor. Their system can be described by the period from the loss of King Li of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the reign of King Xuan in ancient times, and the period when the Duke of Zhou and Duke Zhao were in power, which can be translated as a republic. The Netherlands is a republic, Genoa and Venice are also republics, and it is difficult to say that Britain depends on who wins the king or the parliament, and if the parliament wins, then Britain will also become a republic.

But for now, this system is actually not as good as having an emperor.

At least not for the Ming Dynasty.

These countries all have one thing in common.

They are all very small, not as big as one of our provinces or even as big as a province, we know that the Dutch have harassed the Ming Dynasty for a long time, but the land area of the Netherlands is actually one-third the size of Zhejiang.

They can indeed be republican.

But Da Ming can't.

With such a huge country and a small country in a small land, the difficulty of managing it is not at all a level, and a small country may not be a suitable system for a large country, and what happened in the capital of Britain spread throughout the country in two days. If what happened in the capital of the Ming Dynasty was not rushed by the post road, it might not reach the cheapest county seat in two months, let alone implement a decree.

If the Ming Dynasty is a republic, then how should it be managed? ”

Yang Qing said.

"Can't you be elected to power by the Four People's Assembly?"

The student asked.

"Will the place obey?"

Yang Qing asked.

"But isn't it possible for the representatives of the four people to represent the locality?"

The student asked.

"Can't!"

Yang Qing said very frankly.

"On behalf of the locality, it must be the local authority that has given them this power, or the local controller has given them this power, and who is the local controller? It was the gentry, and would those gentry allow representatives of agriculture and commerce to represent them? It's definitely impossible! Unless it is a representative elected by them and in line with their wishes, then it is indeed possible to form a parliament to elect the ruling party to implement a republican system.

But.

Will this republic care about the lives and deaths of the poor?

It certainly won't.

It will only protect the gentry according to their wishes, knocking out the bones and sucking the marrow of the tenants as in the past, and then not paying taxes to the state, and encroaching on the poor people's land at will, in short, making the Ming as erosive or even more ruthless as in the past.

Definitely going to be harder.

There is an emperor who will at least restrict them, for example, if there is a Wei Zhongxian, even if there is a Zhang Juzheng, it can be better, after all, for the emperor, for his court, he has to be responsible for the entire country, even if it is only a minimum of responsibility, it is also responsible. But after this kind of republic, no one will be responsible for the state, the gentry will only be responsible for themselves, and the last bit of bondage on them will be gone.

They are completely free.

They can squeeze the people at will, just like the tyrants in the north today.

The consuls will certainly not care.

Because he was elected by the gentry, he could only serve the gentry, and if they dared to serve the people at the bottom, then the gentry would kick him away, or even hang him altogether. Then the common people couldn't bear it anymore and repeated the previous troubled times, and the whole country was slaughtered in a sea of blood.

This was the result of the Ming Dynasty becoming a European-style republic.

If we had done so.

We don't think about those.

We have thus established this republic and left the emperor aside, so how are we going to run the country next? Everyone elects an archon, this consul has a term of office, and when it expires, we will re-elect him, and we think whoever can do it will do it, and if it doesn't do well, it will get out. The same is true at the local level, where the four people's assemblies elect local consuls, who are only responsible to the locality and not to the higher levels. It is indeed a republic, but we are a large and complex country, and each province is different from each province, and the interests are also different.

This is also inevitable.

For example, we laid down Shandong, but this year we spent 2 million on relief for the victims of the disaster in Shandong.

These two million are from the taxes paid by the four provinces of Nanzhi, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Huguang, and the taxes of the four provinces have relieved the hungry people in Shandong, if it is a republic, then I may ask, why do the people of these four provinces use their own silver to feed the hungry people in Shandong? The deputies of the four provinces all represent the interests of the four provinces, will they allow the ruling to do so?

They certainly won't.

But if this republic doesn't care about the lives and deaths of the hungry people in Shandong, then why do the people of Shandong continue to live in this republic? Then they will simply join Jiannu, go south with Jiannu, loot these provinces for their lives, and finally bloody Jiangnan. Of course, this result is not good, and the best thing is to discuss a way to get the best of both worlds, but even if a solution to the best of both worlds is discussed, it can't be done in a moment. However, our representatives of the four peoples have already fought at the meeting venue for the reform of the imperial examination, and until now the representatives of the scholars are still holding demonstrations against it.

Will the hungry people in Shandong wait?

What if it was the emperor's rule?

I don't care if you agree or not, I will transfer the money and grain of the household department, and the local government will send officials from the imperial court instead of local elections, and if anyone makes trouble because of this, the local officials should take people without the holy decree. ”
