Unconsciously, Zhu Zilong returned to the Ming Dynasty, and it had been about a week.
With the fact that many rogue armies were hidden in the mountains and dying, and Li Zicheng also entered Sichuan for the second time, the situation in the entire Central Plains basically calmed down.
Although the disaster in many provinces is still raging, as long as another year passes, after the seeds brought by Zhu Zilong several times before, they will blossom and bear fruit everywhere. Coupled with a few more transshipments of modern corn and the like, it is only a matter of time before the losses are minimized and reproduced peacefully.
As a result of the opening of the sea in many places, the national income of the Ming Dynasty has increased a lot.
Among the many cities of the Ming Dynasty, they are still in the fiefdoms under Zhu Zilong's jurisdiction and the major cities in the province. Reinforced concrete buildings and concrete roads began to appear one after another!
These are naturally not comparable to the scale of the modern 21st century, but compared with the previous Ming Dynasty, it is a change of heaven and earth.
Zhu Zilong's butterfly wings were opened, and the tenacious fanning made many changes in Daming.
People who have a little knowledge now know that Zhu Zilong, the prince of the Four Seas, has the strength to seize the world. However, he did it again and again, choosing to die for the emperor.
Occupy the market in the righteousness, so that people have nothing to say.
Change the minister, the emperor is not awake, the queen is a woman, the prince is only two or three years old, and the cabinet has vacated half of the rights. Half of the hundred officials have become their own people, and more than half of the provinces are local, and they are the only ones who look ahead.
Economically independent, richer than the country, and unrivaled in the army, it is estimated that he would have rebelled a long time ago and become the emperor himself.
In the midst of this strange power structure, there was a loud roar of a flat dragon.
The Emperor has woken up!
Hundreds of officials and the world are shaken!
An emperor who can sleep for more than a year, without eating, drinking, or dying, also has a deterrent power in the hearts of the people and officials of the world.
When the immortal wanders in the dreamland, the theory that the ghosts and gods enter the emperor's dream is not a legend now, and no one in the world disagrees.
Therefore, many people with lofty ideals in the Ming Dynasty believe that the world is the world of Zhu Ming, and they still have the will of God. Therefore, some people are secretly excited about it, thinking that it is time to clear the monarch and descend to the country. With the foundation of Jeongkoku!
However, all of this has to be done by the emperor's heart.
However, something happened that made the world lose their glasses.
The emperor's first words after waking up were: "Zhu Sihai can be of great use, and he will be a great general." I have a small success in cultivating immortals in the dream realm, and when I am in retreat, the queen assists the prince in the state affairs, I can rest assured! ”
Then, there was no then, and after watching the state affairs for a few days, the emperor Jingran sent this decree to the whole country and hundreds of officials, and then went to sleep again.
At this moment, all parts of the country, no matter who it is, are dumbfounded on the surface.
This is tantamount to a major blow to the royalist forces, a mind that is ready to move. The emperor deliberately woke up and personally went out to say that Zhu Sihai was of great use, and they really couldn't play in the name of righteousness.
And this is also Zhu Zilong's efforts to know that the emperor's doppelganger has not fully recovered, but he forcibly let him wake up for a few days, and he did not hesitate to have some internal injuries.
At this point, Zhu Zilong's ontology is at the highest point of righteousness, and he can convince the public more and more.
And Empress Zhang, seeing that what she did, did not receive any criticism from the emperor, and even praised. Immediately, I felt that the whole sky was beautiful, and in turn it was for Zhu Zilong. She also found that as long as she trusts one person, all problems can be solved!
In this good atmosphere, Daming ushered in a new round of preparation for the imperial examination.
Soon, Zhu Zilong pulled a group of officials who took refuge in him and directly gave the queen a recital, saying that he wanted to carry out some small reforms in the imperial examination.
When the content of his recital is openly discussed in the early court.
It can be said that it immediately caused the civil officials to blow up the nest with a gust of wind.
There were many objections, but all of them were ineffective. Because Zhu Zilong doesn't listen at all, love is against opposition, what should I do.
And the queen also completely agreed, Zhu Zilong carried out a pilot, and first started the experiment in several provinces in Jiangnan in advance.
What is claimed to be that there are not many changes.
After all, the eight strands still have to be written, and the set of words spoken by the saints will not be removed for the time being. The extra content is agriculture and arithmetic, as well as a bunch of new articles for brainwashing.
And a few months later, a new examination rule was introduced, the first day of the test was Baguwen, the second day was the morning of agriculture, and the afternoon of arithmetic. After the test on the same day, you don't have to live in Gongwon, you can go back to rest. Say what kind of user-friendly design!
Not only that, Zhu Zilong also stipulated that whether it is a child, a showman, or a middle-aged person, the quota must be expanded by three to five times.
Good guy, this is Zhu Zilong who wants to expand the enrollment of universities in the modern 21st century and throw them to the Ming Dynasty in advance.
The reason why he did this is actually for a reason.
First of all, the readers of the old era were basically all learning Bagu Wen. In this exam, the eight shares only account for 40% of the score, that is to say, no matter how well you do the eight shares, it is impossible to be 100% successful.
On the contrary, if you do well in agriculture and arithmetic, as well as advertising words, you will be average in the eight-share test, and you may also have a high chance of being successful!
Looking at the current provinces of the Ming Dynasty, those who can make outstanding achievements in agriculture and arithmetic must be the students in several provinces and fiefdoms under Zhu Zilong's rule, as well as their own people. This trick is really TM's black, unspoken rules!
That is, semi-public, it is simply cultivating useful people, as well as their own younger brothers.
What the?
Do you think that the expansion of recruitment will make the officials of the Ming Dynasty become too many and form bureaucracy. Moreover, if there are too many civil servants, will it increase the pressure on the country's salary expenditure and become a burden on the people?
Hehe, when he first came to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zilong also thought and was worried.
However, until now.
After learning more about Da Ming, he understood. People who think this way, it's a fucked thought. Especially for a traverser!
In fact, no matter when, there are not too many officials in the Ming Dynasty, but absolutely, Jedi, absolutely too few, and it is scary to have few.
In ancient China, it didn't matter which dynasty it was.
Whether it's the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, or the Ming Dynasty. There is a very unspoken rule, the management of the state structure distribution of the map of forces!
That is, the imperial power is not under the county, but the county is only the clan, (the clans are all autonomous, autonomy depends on ethics, and ethics makes squires!) )
Those of us who have watched TV series all know that in ancient times, it was often tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people in a county town. But there is only one county administrator, dozens of yamen errands and civil servants, and a few other officials such as masters.
And then it's gone, yes, it's gone!
You can imagine that in the 21st century, if the county magistrate only has one county magistrate, a few bureau chiefs, and dozens of civil servants.
It is basically impossible for ordinary people to do something, or to complete any formalities, and to fight a lawsuit.
The time spent waiting in line for processing alone is estimated to be enough for you to get moldy!
Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties managed the country like this.
It is that in China, the local government is the strength of the local heroes, and to put it bluntly, the local governments do not listen to the central government in trivial matters and safeguard their own interests, and the representatives are the local heroes. Just on big things, listen to the emperor!
In normal times, the emperor had to rely on the local landlords and powerful to help the officials collect taxes.
Therefore, seriously speaking, the big landlords and local tycoons in ancient times were actually half officials.
This is the real reason why the common people are afraid of them, but those people are obviously not a thing. They often falsely proclaim holy decrees or official orders, distort state policies, overcollect and rob taxes, and the excess will be collected into their own pockets.
Such a force plot will do more harm than good to the country and the people. This is also every feudal dynasty, which can only survive for one or two hundred years, and then go home out of business. The main reason why someone else came to power and became the emperor was the main reason.
In other words, in the past, it was the division of power between the imperial power and the landlords, gentry, and intellectuals who shared power.
Landlords, squires, and scholars were the basis of the rule of the feudal dynasty. This is also, in the original history, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty was about to hang himself, and many of those officials and landlords, as well as scholars, were indifferent. Just wait for the reason for the new emperor!
Because, they believe that whoever becomes the emperor must use them to govern the world, so they will not die, and they will not be unlucky.
And Zhu Zilong just didn't want this kind of management structure to continue. Therefore, he wanted to change the content of the imperial examination and indirectly recruit a group of practical people, as well as obedient new class personnel.
Slowly replace the old landlords, squires, and people who read dead books.
Anyway, they are usually equivalent to half an official, but if they are too selfish. Recruit more officials or historians yourself, and if the management is in place. In fact, those salaries really don't cost much, and the people will definitely feel the benefits of doing so.
In the 21 st century, there will be 30 to 40 million civil servants of all kinds in New China.
On average, every 20-30 ordinary people are supported, one civil servant.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were only a few thousand officials combined, and there were only tens of thousands of errands and errands.
No matter how bad the scientific level is, no matter how small the field output is, with a population of nearly 200 million, supporting tens of thousands of civil servants, it is not too much, and it is pitiful that there are few real TM, okay?
Now that Zhu Zilong is coming, Daming's scientific and technological level and field output will only be improved like an elevator.
Not to mention tens of thousands of officials, even if there are hundreds of thousands, one million officials in the future, as long as the management is in place, it will not be a problem.
If the illiteracy rate does not fall, there will be no development.
If the enrollment of students is expanded, if the new generation of cultural people is not given a way out, where will the country's development be?
Therefore, change is imperative and urgent!
