He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister asks for an explanation. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "This article was written by Master Ye, so naturally it can." ”

Ye Xiang thanked Gao and said: "Your Majesty has long put forward the idea of applying it to the world, and then all kinds of new utensils appeared, which is beneficial to the country and the people, and it proves that Your Majesty is from a lofty position, and learning for practical purposes is not the meaning of applying it to the world?" Why not? What is the use of learning the art of dragon slaying? Of course, we must integrate theory with practice, and we must work hard in whatever direction the people need, and this is the true meaning of seeking truth from facts. ”

The one who put forward the opinion was a royal historian of the Chu Party, who was actually specially here to be practical for Donglin's learning, and he didn't want to be called by Ye Xianggao with a gun and a stick, and his face was red, but he didn't dare to argue with him, so he had to retreat in shame.

When everyone put forward their opinions below, they didn't dare to question the views of various factions anymore, and could only find some opinions that didn't seem to be in line with the words of the sage to ask questions, but they were easily dissolved by Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe and others.

And Zhu Youxiao finally concluded: "Common sense knows its importance from the name, and learning common sense well can make people know right from wrong and be honest; Learn common sense, you can strengthen the body and reduce diseases; Learning common sense can also increase the yield of crops, reduce labor intensity, make our water clearer, mountains greener, and the sky bluer, all of which show the importance of common sense in our lives. In next year's entrance examination for Beijing Normal University, no matter which subject, you will have to add a general knowledge test. ”

In this way, "Common Sense" is not just a textbook for the new school, and students who want to participate in the entrance examination of Beijing Normal University next year must have a copy of "Common Sense".

Ye Xianggao stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, next year is the year of the big exam, so according to the original situation, the entrance examination of the Beijing Normal University Hall should be held at the end of this year, and the imperial examination will be held at the beginning of next year, these two major events are crowded together, can the examination of the Beijing Normal University Hall be postponed to the middle of next year?" ”

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said: "No, the school system has been set, starting at the beginning of each year and ending at the end of the year." This postponement is half a year, and the changes are too great to be implemented. ”

Ye Xianggao was actually afraid that the examination of the Beijing Normal University Hall would impact the imperial examination, in their hearts, the imperial examination was a formal examination and the right way to spread the Taoism, while the examination of the Beijing Normal University Hall was practical, but it was a small way.

He didn't give up and said, "Your Majesty, can you postpone it a little and wait for the entrance examination to be held after the imperial examination?" ”

Zhu Youxiao understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Master Ye, in fact, in the future, you will find that the imperial examination cannot be compared with the entrance examination of the Beijing Normal University Hall, because the number of admissions is too small, I can say that after twenty years, I am afraid that half of the people established by this court will come from the Beijing Normal University Hall." ”

Xu Guangqi also said: "Master Ye, as long as everyone preaches the Taoist system, what difference does it make if you come from the imperial examination or from the Beijing Normal University?" Learning is practical, but just being able to make a fuss can't cure the people, and it's not good to train soldiers. ”

Ye Xianggao also smiled: "It's the old man who is too persistent." I always think that only the imperial examination is the right way, and when I am old, this idea is a little biased, although Zixian is only three years old, but he has a clear mind and no paranoia. ”

Xu Guangqi said with a smile: "I am old, and the world in the future will depend on Boya's generation to assist the emperor." They are young, they can see farther than us, they can see clearly, and with His Majesty leading, why worry about my Ming Dynasty! ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he said to Ye Xianggao and Xu Guangqi: "The kid is young and knowledgeable, and some things still need to be helmed by the gentlemen. ”

Zhu Youxiao remembered something from this, he stood up and said: "Zhongqing, last time I said that half of the shares of agricultural cooperatives belong to the ministers, as long as at the time of retirement, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Jinyiwei, and the Economic Investigation Bureau confirm that there is no corruption or bribery, and they will still enjoy this treatment after retirement. I also want to change the matter of the retirement of officials, I will set up a council in the capital, to take the meaning of politics, after the resignation of officials of the fifth rank and above, they will become a member of the parliament, called a member. The imperial court handed over the power of legislation to the House of Representatives, and the House of Representatives should be consulted on important matters, so that the old ministers could also play a role in state affairs after their retirement, and escort our Ming Dynasty. ”

Most of the courtiers are willing to do this, and those who want to return to their hometowns to send their love to the mountains and rivers are only a few. At that moment, someone asked: "Your Majesty, the time of retirement, but according to age?" ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "This is what I think, according to the official position and age, of course, it must also be combined with the health of the body. If the body is in good health, he will be retired at the age of 70 for the second grade, 65 for the third grade, and 60 for other officials. Technocratic officials, on the other hand, are exempt from this restriction. ”

Fang Congzhe asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by a technical official?" ”

Zhu Youxiao replied: "It's like Sun Yuanhua, the person in charge of research, as well as the doctor of Xiangtai Hospital, and the professor of Jingshi University, these are all technical officials." The others are managerial officials. ”

Ye Xianggao asked: "Your Majesty, that Xiangwu Zhiwang, he is now the right deputy capital imperial history, but he is a very famous doctor, so how can this be calculated." ”

Zhu Youxiao asked, "Is there such a thing?" Wu Qing, please come. ”

Wu Zhiwang stepped forward to salute, he was a slightly chubby middle-aged man in his forties. Zhu Youxiao asked: "Wu Qing is actually proficient in medicine, I don't know which subject I am good at." ”

Wu Zhiwang replied a little shyly: "Your Majesty, the minister is just a beginner, and he has some experience in gynecology and pediatrics. ”

Ye Xianggao interjected: "Your Majesty, looking at his appearance, you may be able to see that he is seventy-two years old?" If you can maintain yourself so well, can your medical skills be poor? ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Then why doesn't Wu Qing go to the research institute to teach?" ”

Wu Zhiwang replied: "Your Majesty, in recent years, the minister has been focusing on revising the "Criteria for Punishment and Female Medicine" by the former Fujian Counselor Wang, and there are many things to do, so I don't have time to go to the research institute to offer ugliness. ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Fang Congzhe, and Fang Congzhe stepped forward and said: "The former Fujian political Wang Kentang, who later returned from illness, now practices medicine in his hometown and has written a lot. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Such a person, of course, you have to be introduced into the research institute, Wu Qing, I want to keep your title and transfer you to the research institute, you want to reorder the book, there will be a large number of students to help you, what do you think?" ”

Wu Zhiwang was overjoyed and said: "I have thanked the Holy Grace, I have always only wanted to cure the sick and save people, and it is okay to have a title." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "The title should be retained, there is no problem with this." It seems that there are still sages in the wilderness, and if one person practices medicine, how can it be compared to practicing medicine after thousands of people in the church. I will issue another recruitment order in the newspapers, and ask local officials to nominate people with real talents and real learning to serve the country. ”
