The final demonstration was a salvo of three hundred and four cannons, and a salvo of hundreds of cannons could not be in the small school yard, but outside the school yard, in front of a mountain bag. The hill is not too high, and a section of the wall has been built on it.

The gentry and the big merchants, who could no longer walk on their own, were so frightened that they were all supported by the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army to watch the artillery demonstration, and three hundred and four cannons were fired in a salvo, and every ten seconds.

The sound was absolutely deafening, even if you covered your ears with your hands, and you could feel the huge shock wave of the cannons, many gentry and big merchants fainted under one salvo, and after three volleys, the walls on the hill were completely gone, and even the hill was cut off by the cannons.

After the three rounds of shelling, half of the more than 500 people who were invited to the scene fell unconscious, and Yang Tingjian was very satisfied with this effect. These more than 500 people were placed by Yang Tingjian to eat and rest in the Huben Army, and held a meeting in this barracks in the afternoon, and Yang Tingjian made several important policy announcements.

In the afternoon of the same day, the meeting was held as scheduled, and Prime Minister Yang Tingjian read out a holy decree of Chongzhen:

"Fengtian carriers, the emperor said...... I deeply feel that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is related to the imperial examination, but this dynasty only set up the Jinshi department, and ignored the system, so I decided to implement the system in Yangzhou...... Yang Tingjian established the "Daming Royal University" in Yangzhou, and those who were admitted to the "Daming Royal University" were given the fame of the imperial examination, and those who completed their studies were awarded the system of science and the first according to the results of the graduation examination......

For the sake of Ming Zhen, I personally served as the sacrificial wine of "Daming Royal University", and Yang Tingjian was the president......"

That's great news! There are a lot of scholars in the Jiangnan area, but the number of places in the imperial examination is only a small amount, and the competition is very cruel, and many scholars spend their lives. There is no title on the gold list, and it has wasted a lifetime of time, and now Yangzhou is a special case, and this "Daming Royal University" undoubtedly gives Jiangnan readers a new hope.

Tang Taizong, Wu Zetian, and Tang Xuanzong were the key figures in the establishment and improvement of the imperial examination. In the Tang Dynasty, the subjects of the examination were divided into two categories: regular subjects and system subjects. The annual periodical examination is called the regular department, and the examination held temporarily by the emperor's edict is called the system department.

The system is the system. It is also known as the big department and the special department, and it is a temporary examination subject set by the feudal dynasty. The purpose is to select a variety of special talents. In the Tang Dynasty, the system was very prosperous, and in the Song Dynasty, the tribute examination was greatly developed, while the system of science tended to decline, but as a kind of imperial examination system, it was still a generational system. The erudition of the Kangxi and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty and the economic special department at the end of the Guangxu Dynasty all belong to this category.

Plainly. For example, the subjects that Yang Tingjian now plans to set up include medicine, business, mining, smelting, arithmetic, shipbuilding, architecture, and so on.

Because of Chongzhen's strong support, the world's first comprehensive university has been released, don't worry about the textbooks, Yang Tingjian's mobile phone database is full of professors, that is, professors need to be found all over the country.

At this time, there were many foreigners in the Ming Dynasty, and most of the missionaries who came to preach were well-educated. For example, John Tang and so on, there are also some folk masters. You can also be invited to be a professor, anyway, just put up the shelves first, and then slowly grope your way forward.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Then Yang Tingjian read the holy decree of Emperor Chongzhen to put him in charge of Yangzhou's military affairs, which showed that Yang Tingjian's orders were in accordance with the emperor's authorization.

The two decrees were read. Yang Tingjian's next words were murderous:

"Now the officer reads three commands:

First, Yangzhou's tax rate remains unchanged.

Article 2: Starting next month, all the acres of land in Yangzhou Prefecture will be inventoried, and the officials and gentry will receive grain in one piece, including their own officials.

Article 3. All salt merchants in Jianghuai are subject to the inventory of the Yamen of the Lianghuai Salt Transporter, and all salt farms are subject to the supervision of the Lianghuai Salt Transporter.

Hehe...... The official was entrusted by His Majesty to come to rectify the salt industry, and the official would not do the looting thing, and he would not think about bribing the official, the official was not short of silver.

For those who do not obey the orders of the official, they can go to Beijing to sue the emperor, or they can gather troops to rebel, and the official does not mind killing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the head is rolling.

You should go home immediately, calculate the account book and the acres of land you belong to, first report the real situation yourself, and the official will start to check in early August, remembering that one less penalty is ten, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu intercede, it is not good. ”

More than 500 gentry and big businessmen trembled and left in a four-wheeled carriage, these gentry could not do exactly what Yang Tingjian said, resist, conceal must be, anyway, Yang Tingjian has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, and act according to the law, only one Da Ming law does not apply, that is, people with meritorious names are exempt from taxes.

Yang Tingjian is a self-isolating scholar in the world, Chongzhen definitely hopes that Yang Tingjian will do this, Yang Tingjian will definitely have a temporary resistance in doing this, but the benefits in the future will be endless.

Yang Tingjian left the prefect's yamen again, and all the daily government affairs were handled by Wang Xingjian, but there were some people wearing tiger army uniforms in the prefect's yamen, they were the people from the military justice department sent by Yang Tingjian, Wan Shun began to clean up the officials in the prefect's yamen according to Yang Tingjian's order.

If they are unqualified, they will directly report the list to Yang Tingjian, who has always been directly dismissed with a stroke of the pen, and the prefect's yamen has begun to recruit new officials, and all officials must be trained by the Military Judge Advocate before they can take up their posts.

The efficiency of the Yangzhou prefect's yamen has suddenly become faster, but they don't dare to procrastinate! Wanshun, a hundred households in brocade clothes, is like a catfish, staring at a group of "fish" in the prefect's yamen, can this not be happy?

Yang Tingjian is almost the use of this model of the military, the advantage of this model is that the efficiency is high, and a large number of manpower and material resources can also be mobilized to concentrate on big things, but this model can only be used for a short time, once Yangzhou City is on the right track, the people of the Military Justice Department will definitely not appear in the prefect's yamen.

The military town model is too dangerous, and once it is done in this way for a long time, it will form a vested interest group of soldiers, and they will use their swords and guns in order to achieve their own goals in the future, which is also the reason why the feudal town can only run rampant for a while.

Although Yang Tingjian has explained many things, there are still busy things, such as this "Daming Royal University", Yang Tingjian directly invited his teacher Sun Shenxing to help, and there are also some scholars who have been restored.

Yang Tingjian, the address of "Daming Royal University", has also been chosen, that is, Yangzhou Gongyuan, Yangzhou Gongyuan is so large that you can't imagine it, covering an area of 300,000 square meters, and Nanjing, Beijing is known as the world's three major tribute hospitals.
