Chapter 647: Challenging the Imperial Examination
();
No one is omnipotent, no matter how perfect a person is, he will also have omissions.
In fact, when Ye Xun first proposed silver coins as the circulating coins of the Ming Dynasty, he considered continuing to issue coins with small denominations.
But Ye Xun was too busy, and when the silver coins began to circulate here, his mind was already occupied by other things.
Qin Yong's proposal is just a small episode, which shows that there are indeed many officials in the DPRK who are doing practical things, and it can also reflect Ye Xun's open-mindedness from this matter.
So after Qin Yong finished speaking, Ye Xun nodded and said, "You are now the head of the household department, right?" Very good, you go to the finance department to find Li to ask Lord to report, just say that the father asked you to go, and then put what you told the father into a book, hand it over to Lord Li, today the father will not entertain you, the next day will definitely invite you to the house to have a banquet, it will be regarded as the father to give you an apology"
In fact, don't look at Qin Yong's standing upright, in fact, he is also sweating in his heart, in case Father-in-law Ye is not as polite and virtuous as the legend, even if he ignores him today, I am afraid that he will not be as good as him in the future.
But judging from Ye Xun's current attitude, Ye Gonggong is a broad-minded person, and he can jump out of the position of Hubu Sicao, and today is not in vain.
Thinking of this, he immediately bowed down and said, "Father-in-law Xie, the next official will leave!" ”
Ye Xun waved his hand, and then raised his voice and said to the officials who were still waiting in line on the side of the steps to be summoned: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that Ye is difficult to see, it's really Ye who doesn't have much leisure time, but if you can really come for government affairs like Lord Qin, then please leave a note, and my father will definitely fight for time to meet him, I'm sorry."
After saying that, he hugged his fists to everyone, and then turned around and led Liu Zongzhou to walk inside.
Liu Zongzhou is true of learning, but after resigning twice, he specialized in learning while lecturing to students, although he didn't dare to say how accurate he was, but from a person's words and deeds, he could still tell what kind of person Ye Xun was.
So when Ye Xun invited him to go inside again, he was even more sure in his heart, this Ye Gonggong was indeed the person he was looking for.
It was already afternoon, and the officials of the various ministries had to come to their homes for a meeting in the evening, so the time left for Ye Xun to talk to Liu Zongzhou was not long.
When he came to the hall and sat down, and the servants served tea, Liu Zongzhou finally couldn't help but say: "Gonggong Ye should know that Xiaguan has a good relationship with Donglin people such as Lord Xing, why do you want to use Xiaguan?" ”
Ye Xun smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Does Mr. Niantai think those people are the same as you?" ”
"Actually, Mr. Niantai just doesn't say it, I also know that because of some changes before, I dealt with the Donglin people more heavily, I'm afraid Mr. Niantai is also dissatisfied with this in his heart!"
"It can't be said that the Donglin Party is all bad people, in fact, many of them are upright people, but why should I kill them all? That is, for the sake of their so-called righteous actions, they have reached the point of madness, and for their own selfishness, they have even betrayed the interests of the people of the country, which is no longer as simple as political differences."
"And Mr. Niantai, you are different, the reason why I respect you is because no matter when it is, you can stick to your own heart, right is right, wrong is wrong, it has nothing to do with personal feelings, and it has nothing to do with personal preferences."
It's so fucking tiring to talk about the truth! Ye Xun's vernacular came down, and his throat was about to smoke.
After listening to Ye Xun's words, Liu Zongzhou had a great sense of being hard to find, after debuting for so many years, except for his students, there has never been a major minister in the court who spoke so highly of him, and the one sitting opposite was not as simple as an important minister of the court? This is really the first person in the dynasty!
sighed and said: "If you can get a word from your father-in-law, you will have no regrets in your life, and you won't hide it from your father-in-law, if you can't confirm who your father-in-law is today, then this Shuntian Mansion Yin, it's okay if you don't do it."
People who don't have a little common sense of officialdom know that the official position of Shuntianfu Yin, just like the mayor of the capital, is a very difficult position to do, and it is easy to offend people.
Liu Zongzhou is a scholar, and it's really hard to say whether he can play with officialdom.
But it doesn't matter, because Ye Xun is also the master who recognizes the law and does not recognize people, as long as Liu Zongzhou can be upright and strict, if something goes wrong, Ye Xun will also give him a pocket.
"Don't hide it from Mr. Niantai, after the Chinese New Year, I plan to build a university, which has a wide range of disciplines, I don't know if Mr. Niantai would like to be a part-time professor in the school."
After chatting for a long time, Ye Xun finally got to the point, this old brother has been lecturing in his hometown before he came to the capital, presumably being an official is just a way for him to realize his ambitions, and his real mind is still on learning.
Sure enough, hearing Ye Xun say this, Liu Zongzhou immediately came to his senses, and said happily: "It is really good for my father-in-law to have this heart, and the next official wants to thank my father-in-law on behalf of thousands of students."
As he spoke, Liu Zongzhou really stood up and saluted Ye Xun.
Ye Xun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Mr. Niantai is serious, the conditions are different in different places, and the education level is also different, so my father has been thinking that if you only select talents based on simple knowledge, it will be too unfair to those children who are from poor families and can't afford to read, so the imperial court should be more extensive in cultivating talents, and give the children of poor families more opportunities to serve the country."
Liu Zongzhou is not a pedantic person, otherwise he would not be abandoned by the Donglin Party, but Ye Xun's ideas are too advanced, and he is a little confused.
Then he wondered: "The lower officials don't understand what the father-in-law means, is the father-in-law going to reform the imperial examination system?" ”
Ye Xun smiled and said: "Since the founding of the dynasty, the content of the imperial examination has not changed, just take the Lord Qin just now as an example, Mr. Niantai thinks that just by doing a good job in Baguwen, can you understand those financial matters?" I'm afraid I can't! ”
"There are many highly professional positions in various ministries, and almost all the chief officials are halfway monks, which is obviously not conducive to the healthy development of the imperial court, and also affects the efficiency of work, and what if these positions are held by professional officials? I'm afraid the situation will be different! ”
After Ye Xun's explanation, Liu Zongzhou understood a little, but Ye Gonggong's idea was too big! And how many students have studied hard for ten years, and all they have learned are related to the Bagu literature, and now they have changed it, what do you make those students think?
Obviously, seeing the hesitation in Liu Zongzhou's heart, Ye Xun suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Zongzhou.
"Mr. Niantai is not a pedantic person, so I will tell you so much, you should know that the country only continues to innovate, continue to spit out the old and absorb the new, will it progress, will always stand among the world powers, stick to the old ways, sooner or later it will be like the last years of Wanli, a little Jurchen, can make me helpless, so I implore Mr. to help me, this unprecedented great change"
When Ye Xun boldly said the words of the last year of Wanli, Liu Zongzhou was already deeply shocked... I want to talk about "The Fake Eunuch of the Ming Dynasty" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
