1263 Department of Education
"Regret ......" Kwanghae-kun listened and repeated in a low voice, as if asking himself, looking at the roof with a little blank eyes.
When I think of what happened in my life, there is no time when it can be smooth. At the beginning, he was not valued by his father, but later he finally took power, and the Qing Dynasty rose from Liaodong, and it was originally nothing. As a result, the battle of Sarhu in the Ming Dynasty was defeated, and after that battle, I felt that I had seen clearly the foreign strength of the Ming Dynasty, and thought that the Ming Empire was already at the end of the road.
It is based on this judgment that I have a choice. But...... But...... Who would have thought that the Ming Dynasty even attacked the land of Gyeonggi by the Qing Dynasty, but it was able to come back to life, and the Qing Dynasty was defeated, and even was driven into the sea, fleeing to the Wa Kingdom like a lost dog......
Seeing that Guanghaijun was silent, Wu Daji asked in a cold voice: "North Korea has been made angry by His Royal Highness, the country is not a country, and the ancestral foundation is not guaranteed, Your Highness regrets it?" ”
"Hahaha......" Guanghaijun listened, but suddenly laughed wildly, contrary to the weakness of his previous speech, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
After a long while, he looked at Wu Daji, stared at his eyes and replied categorically: "If you do it all over again, Gu's decision will not change." Regret? Does regret work? It's just a matter of becoming a king and defeating a coward, if the Qing Dynasty wins the Ming Dynasty, you estimate that you will come to add Lone's toes again, it should be said that Lone is wise, right? Hahaha......"
Wu Daji's face flashed with anger when he heard this, he took a few steps forward, grabbed Guanghaijun's collar, and stared at him angrily, as if he wanted to eat Guanghaijun.
However, Guang Haijun was not afraid at all, with a cold face, he looked back at Wu Daji's eyes, and stared wordlessly.
Wu Daji didn't make any further moves in the end, let go of Guanghaijun as soon as he let go of his hand, turned his head and left, without a little hesitation.
The moment he stepped out of the door, there was a sudden sound of laughter in the room, with pride, with rampantness, with madness......
When Wu Daji first heard this, his footsteps paused, as if he wanted to turn around and go in. In the end, however, he did not turn around and strode away. I don't know if it's far away or something else, but I feel that the laughter behind me quickly weakens.
That night, someone came to tell him that Gwanghae-kun was dead.
Wu Daji was not surprised when he heard this, what should he do or what to do, it seems that the person who died was not the former king of North Korea, and he reacted like a passer-by who died.
The news of Gwanghae-kun's death also reached the ears of Toyotomi Kunimatsu. He sighed, but didn't say anything further.
Toyotomi Kunimatsu's current situation is the same as that of Gwanghae-kun, who is under surveillance and has lost his freedom, but in terms of living conditions, he is just better than Gwanghae-kun. At this time, he actually regretted leading the wolf into the house. He wasn't sure if the Wa Kingdom was really defeated by the Manchus, would his signboard still be useful to the Manchu Emperor? If it didn't work, wouldn't it be the house arrest it is now? But if the Manchu Qing were suppressed by the Tokugawa shogunate, he was at least sure that he would never survive!
I knew that today, how nice it would have been to live quietly at the beginning!
These two people in the Wa Kingdom, whether they really regret it or not, it doesn't matter anymore. And the Ming Emperor, however, is sure that he will never regret it.
Chongzhen's eight years will pass in a blink of an eye. This year, for Emperor Chongzhen, is neither good nor bad!
Through the chat group, I learned that it was already the New Year, but there was no snow in Shanxi and Shaanxi. This means that in the spring of next year, Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces are likely to have natural disasters, and they must be prevented as early as possible.
Because of this, Emperor Chongzhen deliberately went to Xu Guangqi's mansion in person, read his recuperation, and then consulted about the agricultural affairs of Qin and Jin. After all, Xu Guangqi is at least an authority in agriculture. Of course, since the founding of the country, the Ming Dynasty has actually had a disaster relief system. Emperor Chongzhen combined with the current situation and began to prepare first.
In the original history, in February of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Shanxi suffered from drought and insect plague for many years, and in March, there was a great famine. When the hungry people had no food, they had to eat tree bark and grass blades. The bark and the blades of grass are all gone, and they are cannibalistic.
In this period of history at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although there were factors in the Xiaoice River period, man-made disasters were the main cause, if the officials and the people were united, what could the Xiaoice River do?
The original Emperor Chongzhen actually understood this truth. On the 10th day of the fifth month of the following year, he issued an edict to the world, saying: I look up to the way of heaven and bow down to all directions, and read this army and people, who is not a child, only because the officials are greedy and cunning, and the years are fierce, and they are forced by hunger and cold, and they are willing to do wrong. One or two are ignorant, and gradually coerce the people. Over the years, I don't know how many of them have been killed. I am sad and compassionate, and I sleep peacefully......
However, what does he know? With his ability, he can't turn the tide at all! Only souls from later generations, with a golden thigh, can turn things around in just a few years. Therefore, let the Chinese civilization avoid disasters and always stand on top of the world.
On this plane, Nanyang is already the territory of the Ming Dynasty, although the vassal king has been sealed in the past, but there is no shortage of anything in the domain, that is, there is no shortage of food. The grain of Nanyang was continuously sent back to China in exchange for a large number of products produced due to the emergence of the steam engine, which can be described as a mutually beneficial and win-win move.
Having said that, at the end of the eighth year of Chongzhen, except for the possibility of natural disasters, other aspects are basically good news. Most directly, the state treasury revenue has increased significantly. However, the increase in the head this time was a bit unexpected by everyone.
Originally, it was thought that with the new feudal state and the further expansion of overseas trade, the tax revenue of maritime trade would always maintain the first place in the national treasury revenue. As a result, as soon as the statistical results came out, after the implementation of the new salt policy, the revenue of this salt tax immediately increased by leaps and bounds, and it even exceeded the tax growth rate of sea trade!
Seeing this result, Emperor Chongzhen and his ministers were all smiling. Before that, they had never imagined that the salt tax could be collected so much!
"Your Majesty's salt policy is really powerful!" Wen Tiren did not hesitate to boast to his face, "In this first year, the salt tax revenue has reached tens of millions of taels, almost more than tripled!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen smiled when he heard this, and he was also happy in his heart, and replied with a smile: "This is actually nothing. I have such a large population, and salt is a necessity, how can there be only a small salt tax in the past! The price of official salt is lower than that of private salt, which directly squeezes out the market of private salt, so that the income from the salt tax is obvious. I believe that next year's salt tax will be more than this year! ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Wen Tiren happily slapped another sycophant, at this time, he had such a feeling that the emperor would make money, of course, it would really make money, and he, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, should not be too comfortable!
In the Wenhua Palace, the other courtiers are also similar, and they are all happy. Among them, the household department is still strict, and the emotion is the most profound.
In the early years, every time it was time for the Chinese New Year, it was the time when he, the head of the household, had the most headache. Rats can starve to death in the treasury, but everywhere needs money for the New Year, and I don't know how to spend the New Year at that time.
It seems that since the invasion of Gyeonggi by Jianyu, the emperor seems to have been stimulated, and from then on, every year has been better than a year, and the end of each year has become a time to look forward to. If you want the treasury revenue at the end of this year, in the past, it is estimated that you will not believe it.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the courtiers below and said with a smile: "Although the income of the treasury has increased a lot, but in my plan, this money is not enough, and we must continue to work hard in the coming year!" ”
Wen Tiren and the others did not feel strange at all about this. Who would have too much money?
The emperor will make money, but he will also spend money!
After receiving the response of the ministers, Emperor Chongzhen said: "The foundation of my Ming Dynasty is education. Therefore, I decided to continue to invest in education, and compared to before, I decided to build a new yamen system to manage the ...... of education in the Ming Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, Wen Tiren and the others were neither surprised, but also a little surprised.
The emperor attaches great importance to the education of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they all know this. It can be seen from the establishment of children's schools in various parts of the Ming Dynasty and the free enrollment of school-age children. Nothing like this has ever happened before.
In addition, they were not very surprised to build a new yamen. Because before this, the emperor had established a new Ministry of Communications, which was dedicated to managing the country's infrastructure, and its status was the same as that of the six ministries. In addition, under the Ministry of Industry, a new science and technology clearance department yamen was built.
They were a little surprised that the new yamen that the emperor was going to set up turned out to be dedicated to managing education. They thought that the emperor had attached enough importance to education compared to other emperors, but they didn't expect that the emperor attached great importance to education far beyond their imagination.
In the Ming Dynasty, after the founding of Taizu, in the education system, the Jingshi was a national eunuch, and there were local government schools, state schools, county schools and health schools.
The Ming Dynasty did not have a full-time agency for education management, but only a commissioner. That is, from the first year of orthodoxy, a school officer was set up to supervise the school administration. The officials appointed by the ministries are simply used by those who were born in the Jinshi from the servants of the ministries (from the second grade) to the Lang Zhong (the fifth grade) of the ministries and courtyards. Therefore, there is no fixed grade of academic administration in various provinces, if the scholar is taught by the servant, it is from the second grade, and the person who is taught by the Lang is the fifth grade, but it must be from the two lists of Jinshi.
In a sense, the position of Governor of the University is more similar to the meaning of the Qincha, and it is not all the educational institutions in later generations.
Of course, the school still has school rules, Hongwu issued 12 school rules in the 15th year, and during the Wanli period, the "Admiral School Official Edict" was promulgated.
These situations are naturally clear to these high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty in the Wenhua Palace, after all, the people standing in the palace now are all through the imperial examination, and they have all experienced it personally. In the case of the emperor's great importance to education, they would not oppose it with the view that "it is better to rule by foolish people". Otherwise, when the emperor promoted scientific and technological knowledge, someone would jump out to talk about it.
Of course, in the final analysis, it is related to Emperor Chongzhen's prestige being high enough to firmly control the court, and there are not so many bad things.
I heard Emperor Chongzhen continue to talk about his train of thought above: "Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, and education plans, it is impossible to overemphasise." The future of the Ming Dynasty that I envisioned would not have been possible without a large number of scholars. I have also made a grand wish in public before, so that everyone in the Ming Dynasty can have books to read, this is not just talking, and it must not be just a situation. Therefore, I feel that on the basis of the current treasury revenue, the Ming Dynasty has the ability to set up a yamen specializing in the management of education, and a full-time education management! ”
As for what should happen to the new yamen, these courtiers have no right to speak, after all, it is the emperor's new idea, so they can only listen silently with their ears.
"I have decided to establish a new Department of Education, which will be directly under the Ministry of Rites, led by the Ministry of Rites, and will be responsible for education management, mainly for the management of the whole country, as well as the teaching content of all levels of schooling, school expansion, and other education-related contents......"
In Emperor Chongzhen's conception, this education department is an important yamen under the Ministry of Rites, and the first responsible person is directly designated as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, which can also show that he attaches great importance to this education department.
Sun Yuanhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, heard this, and his heart was happy. The fact that the Department of Education is under his control is tantamount to adding a new piece of power. More importantly, he felt that from now on, he would not be the mentor of all scholars, right?
Of course, he also vaguely understood in his heart that the reason why the emperor put him in charge was because he was a strong supporter of promoting scientific and technological knowledge. The emperor's intention should also be to be more inclined to the dissemination and study of scientific and technological knowledge in his own education.
The other courtiers actually understood this. Although Xu Guangqi returned to his hometown due to illness, with the emperor, the biggest promoter of scientific and technological knowledge, there would be no possibility of repetition.
Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Wen Tiren and others asked a few personnel questions about the new education department yamen, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Communications asked a few questions that seemed to be related to them, and after receiving the emperor's confirmation and answer, there were no questions.
Emperor Chongzhen was not surprised by this, he knew that if the treasury had no revenue, then the new yamen would easily attract opposition, after all, if there were more monks and less porridge, it would be common for monks to fight. But now that the treasury revenue is increasing year by year, there will not be much conflict of interest.
After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen decided to send them a big red envelope as well, and they all had to be happy and happy after the New Year, so that everyone could have a head!
