Chapter 556: Peace for All Generations (4)
Everyone in the Tuanshan Fort system is pondering one thing, that is, should Master Zhang ascend the throne and become emperor?
Lord Zhang's current title is really not good, if you talk about official positions, his title is still the former Liaodong Governor of the Ming Dynasty...... But the Ming Dynasty has died, the strength of the Tuanshan Army has been unique in the world, and it is only a matter of time before the whole country is unified, so what should we do next?
Countless "persuasion tables" are presented to the hands of tension, and this question also tests the wisdom of tension all the time.
Is it to be an emperor? It seems to be very beautiful and domineering, the founding ancestor, who doesn't want to be in this position?
People are selfish, Zhang Li is no exception, from the first day of coming to the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Li is not to "be a saint" as the goal, his goal is to save the country and save the people, so that the Chinese people stand tall in the forest of the world, and prosper forever.
If it can, then being an emperor is not exclusive-then, is it possible?
In history, the founding ancestors were all "wise and martial", and the military and national strength were also extremely powerful, but after a few generations, everything began to repeat amazingly-
The so-called general trend of the world, divided for a long time must be combined for a long time, and the truth is self-evident.
It's just that what kind of "people's cooking" and "republican" are also nonsense in these years, and it is impossible for the people to carry out the "people's cooking" and "republic" in these years.
Zhang Zhang remembers very clearly that when the Soviet Union collapsed in later generations, it was necessary to engage in the **** of the whole people. The result is a piece of bread for a vote, and this kind of "people's cooking" will only become a tool for conspirators with ulterior motives to ascend to power.
Some things are in a hurry, and some things are in a hurry.
Country. It must be built; All kinds of political reforms, that will take a long time. Zhang Zhang decided to be a guide himself.
That's all.
On the first day of the third month of March 1637, Zhang Li held a grand ceremony in Beijing. Finally the founding of the country, the country name "Xinming".
Regarding the country name, Zhang Li thought about it for a long time, and it was obvious that it was impossible to "XX country of the Chinese people", and it was pure nonsense to use this kind of country name in these years.
It is also impossible to use any Han and Tang Dynasty, and it is not appropriate to use "Huaxia", so simply use the country name of "Daming", just change one word, which actually has great benefits.
First of all, the so-called Ming Dynasty. In fact, it is wrong to say "Ming", and the country name established by Zhu Yuanzhang is called "Daming". However, in the official documents of the Ming Dynasty, the country name must be "Da Ming" rather than "Ming". This point was also learned by the Manchu Tartars, whose mantra "I Daqing" was very correct, because when Huang Taiji founded the country, the country name was "Daqing" instead of "Qing".
Since it is customary to use two words in the country name, there is nothing wrong with the word "Xinming".
There is also a layer of meaning to win people's hearts, I am the minister of the Ming Dynasty, and the crime of the Ming Dynasty is not mine. The word "Ming" is used in the name of my country, which is really a manifestation of my nostalgia for the old country.
And this word "new" is different from the previous "Daming" -- new is really a wonderful word.
"Gou Rixin. This is the content of the second chapter of the Chinese Confucian classic "University", which is familiar to those who are familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics.
"Gou Rixin. "New, new every day" is a dynamic perspective to emphasize the meaning of continuous innovation!
Being a new citizen is the motto of the ancient Chinese emperor Chengtang. Advocacy represents the spirit of continuous development and positive progress of human beings, which is a change that accumulates over time. The inevitable trend and result from quantitative change to qualitative change is the philosophy of human ideological progress and material innovation.
The industrial revolution that Zhang Li wants to implement, or the political reforms that follow, all need this "new" word.
……
The Xinming Kingdom was established, and Zhang Li served as the head of state. The name is really avant-garde, but it is not difficult to understand the literal meaning, "yuan" and "head" both have the meaning of "head", which is quite easy to understand.
After entering Jingshi, Zhang Zhang more than doubled the size of his previous house and moved in......
Just when everyone was shocked by the title of "Führer", Zhang Zhang actually did not enter the Forbidden City, what does this mean?
Zhang Zhang soon issued a notice saying that the Forbidden City, including the imperial mausoleum in Changping, would be renovated and protected as cultural relics and monuments in the future - as for the open visit, Zhang Zhang did not mention it, and it is too shocking to mention it now.
Zhang Li's move was regarded by public opinion as a manifestation of kindness to the previous dynasty, and won him the hearts of a large number of people who cherished his old ways.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and a large number of trivial matters are waiting for Zhang Li to get an idea, and Zhang Li temporarily copies the relatively reasonable system of the previous Ming Dynasty, and then slowly improves it in the future.
After all, it is absolutely impossible to completely use the systems of later generations now, because there is only one person with modern ideas. All literate people grew up reading the Four Books and the Five Classics, which is a practical problem that Li Li must consider.
The system can be copied, but the improvement is gradually beginning. For example, the most important thing at the moment, the foundation of everything, is education.
And the foundation of education is the exam.
Zhang Zhang complained a little about the education system of later generations, and it seems that he does not attach importance to quality education at all. However, quality education obviously cannot be eaten as food, because the college entrance examination system has decided that only scores can be eaten as food......
There must have been a lot of reforms in the new Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Li will also advance slowly - now Zhang Li is only in his early twenties, and there is still a lot of time to complete the reform of the country and make it a modern country.
But at present, the first reform of the new Ming Kingdom is also the most notable, that is, the imperial examination. Zhang Li stipulates that the imperial examination is divided into five subjects: engineering, agriculture, commerce, military science, and national science, and then gradually adjusted in the future.
As the name suggests, the four subjects of industry, agriculture, commerce, and military are all related content. The establishment of a national discipline by Zhang Li is a clever move that can greatly reduce the resistance to reform.
Yes, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty have read the Four Books and Five Classics all their lives, and you don't take the Bagu Wen exam as soon as you come to the exam, but what kind of work, agriculture, business, and soldier are examined, isn't this a way to break your life?
History has made them victims of Baguwen, but it is not themselves who are wrong, but the system. If we want to reform, we must also consider the interests of this part of the people.
Therefore, the national discipline came out like this, and those who passed the examination could also be officials, but they were official positions in the literature, such as Guozijian and the like. There is no restriction on the style of this discipline, if you want to write a bagu essay, you can write a bagu essay, you can write poems and lyrics or even write short stories, and adopt an examination style that is inclusive of all rivers.
In this way, those who don't know how to be flexible at all can also go to the national subject and continue to write his eight-strand essay, which can be regarded as an idea. And more smart people will definitely find another way and no longer hang themselves with a big tree.
Zhang Zhang has been busy for nearly a month, and finally got the most important thing of "selecting talents by exam" first, but there are more thorny problems waiting for him later...... (To be continued.) )
