After discussing this matter, Ye Xianggao said: "Your Majesty, on the issue of removing the essence of the Confucian classics, please give some instructions to Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I am still young and do not study the Confucian classics deeply. I just feel that since it is the words of the saints, I should only publish the words of the saints before publishing, and ignore the rest for now. ”

Ye Xianggao asked, "Do you only publish the Analects, the University, the Mean, and Mencius?" ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Let's publish these four first." Show it to me before it is published. The Confucian quotations used in the Chinese language textbooks of the new school are best explained by stories, not just by memorizing a few sentences. The basic principles of the compilation of teaching materials are the pride of being a Chinese, the social norms that should be observed in life, and loyalty to the nation and the country. Less is false, more is real. In addition, I plan to add a subject called "General Knowledge" to the school, to teach students some basic social knowledge and life knowledge. ”

Ye Xianggao couldn't help but be big, what is the basic social knowledge and common sense of life, if you don't make it clear, we can't make it up.

Zhu Youxiao seemed to hear his heart, and said: "For example, the history of our Han people, such as what is real filial piety, what is foolish filial piety, such as washing hands before meals, what is the role of bathing, these must be understood by ordinary people." ”

Ye Xianggao continued to have a big head, but he was very clear about the history of the Han people, and true filial piety was also a simple matter. But I know how to wash my hands before eating, but why? Does bathing have any other purpose than to keep people clean?

He said dejectedly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this "Common Sense" textbook needs to be compiled by Your Majesty himself, and the old minister is only a shallow learner, so he can't take on such a heavy responsibility. ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll let the clerk record it first, and then hand over the draft to Master Ye for correction." ”

Ye Xianggao didn't even dare to say that the draft dictated by the emperor had to be careful to polish himself, let alone revise it.

Bi Ziyan saw that Ye Xianggao had finished asking, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say about the cooperation between the bank and the agricultural cooperatives. The banker is not worried, but this agricultural cooperative is a joint-stock trading company, and the minister does not have the right to order. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Agricultural cooperatives are indeed joint-stock trading companies, and their shares come from the royal family, vassal kings, and nobles at all levels. But in fact, half of the shares are held by officials, so the agricultural cooperatives can actually be regarded as an institution of the household department. Of course, it is somewhat different from other agencies of the Ministry of Households, which have the power to supervise and make recommendations, but do not have jurisdiction. Bi Qing will grasp a certain degree and strengthen cooperation with them according to what I just said, but must not interfere in their specific operations. In the early stage, a large amount of shares of agricultural cooperatives were deposited in banks, and banks could use the money to lend, and the money earned could be divided into agricultural cooperatives, but it should be noted that there should not be too many bad debts. This is because after the business of agricultural cooperatives is launched, a large amount of capital is needed. Needless to say, the importance of the funds needed by agricultural cooperatives to increase farmers' incomes and enhance agricultural output is needless to say. ”

Bi Ziyan thought to himself, doesn't he want the bank not to obstruct the agricultural cooperatives when they need funds? The positioning of this agricultural cooperative is very strange, and the imperial court has given it so many preferential policies, and the bank funds have to be tilted towards it, it is really unreasonable that it does not make money.

Sun Chuanting stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the army of Shanhaiguan has been selected, and most of them are trained in Gongji City in the style of guards, so is it not directly replacing the army of Gongji City to the four towns of Xuanfu, Datong, Jizhou, and Shanxi, and the troops of these four towns have been transferred back to Gongji City for training?" Then the generals of Shanhaiguan did not come to Gongji City with them, so did the generals of the four towns also handle this routine this time? ”

Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile: "Sun Qing said his opinion." ”

Sun Chuanting hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is a very good way for the army of Shanhaiguan to only replace the soldiers, because the generals of Liaoxi have a more powerful view of the portal, and most of the original soldiers of Liaoxi have become free tenants to imitate, and now separating the soldiers from the generals is conducive to weakening the power of the generals of Liaoxi." The guards of the four towns, the minister did not personally inspect, and did not know how the combat strength was, but as far as the situation he saw when he was in Shaanxi, it should not be much stronger than the Shaanxi guard, so the minister thought that the generals and soldiers of the four towns had removed their military household identities and directly became civilian registrations, and then re-recruited troops in these four towns, trained on the spot according to the establishment of the guards, and then replaced the other four towns. ”

Zhu Youxiao asked: "But this time there are only soldiers in Gongji City, how to solve the problem of generals?" In addition, the soldiers of Gongji City have been transferred to the four towns, how to solve the defense problem of the Beijing Division? ”

Sun Chuanting said: "There are a total of 80,000 soldiers in Gongji City, and when the last time it was replaced, there were 60,000 new soldiers of the Guards who lived in Shanhaiguan. The minister wanted to transfer 40,000 soldiers from Gongji City to Liaodong and mix with the Guards. Then the veterans of the Guards can send 20,000 people to Shanhaiguan to form an army of 80,000 people, reorganize with the new recruits of Shanhaiguan, leave 40,000 people to guard Shanhaiguan, and the other 40,000 people go to the four towns to replace the guards. ”

"And the veterans of the Guards can also send 10,000 men to the Beijing Division, and mix them with the remaining 40,000 people, with 30,000 remaining in the Beijing Division, and the other 20,000 divided into small units of 5,000, and 15,000 newly recruited soldiers in each of the four towns to be trained. In this way, each of the four towns has 30,000 soldiers, and the other four towns can be replaced after training. ”

As for the issue of generals, the minister felt that there were two methods, one was that the generals who were really talented in the original army could learn some military knowledge through intensive training, and then they would be distributed to the armies in various places. The other is to strengthen the military examination, and after the examination, they will also be trained and distributed, but they can only serve in other places, and special officers at all levels will be formed, so as to solve the problem of too much power of generals in the army. ”

Zhu Youxiao thought that this meant that through intensive study, the factions among the generals would be reduced, and a situation like the one in Liaoxi Jiangmen would no longer occur. That means a military academy is going to be opened! This guy can't be cross-ed, right?

He tried to ask in a low voice, "Whampoa Military Academy?" ”

Sun Chuanting's face was full of confusion and said, "Where is the Whampoa that Your Majesty said?" The name of the military academy is not in line with etiquette, so it is better to call it the officer academy. ”

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said: "That's right, let's build a new officer academy next to Gongji City, and the name will be the Lecture Hall, which is specially used to train officers of the Guards." ”
