"In this case, then the imperial court can open some places for the history of the country's eunuchs, and reserve some official quotas for the admission of the country's eunuchs, so that the problem of the country's eunuchs will not be solved? Wouldn't it be feasible to re-establish the country's subordinate eunuchs to pay tribute and routinely supervise them to relieve the financial pressure? What do you think? ”

Today's matter is a bit strange, how can it be so easy to talk about the history of the matter, and when it comes to the issue of the prison students, it is too fast, Yang Gai muttered in his heart.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know how many places Your Majesty wants to leave for the prisoners of the Guozi Prison?" A minister came out and asked.

"This ......, how much does this Aiqing think should be kept?" To be honest, the question of how many "seats" should be reserved for the people of Guozijian, Yang Reform has not yet thought about it.

The minister who came out to say something said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister dares to ask, how many people are Your Majesty going to put in prison for this reopening of the country?" How much are you prepared to lose? ”

"Well, the more the merrier, I think that it is not too many to be imprisoned by 10,000 people, but tens of thousands of people are also possible, so relying on this tribute every year can also relieve the financial pressure of our dynasty, and this disaster relief and salary are also powerful!" Yang Gai casually said what was in his heart, 10,000 is a lot, tens of thousands are not much, the more the better. The more people, the more income.

The minister who came out to say something was almost frightened by the emperor's words, the emperor's appetite was not ordinary, he sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this 10,000 people are too much, even if the people who can be promoted to the rate surname hall are removed, there are still a thousand left every year, so many people, Your Majesty has ever thought that the imperial court has so many official positions for these prisoners to enter the office?" The imperial court would never have been able to put so many prisoners in so many places! The minister thinks that His Majesty's re-establishment of the Guozijian regular prison, the number of people should not be large, the number of thousands of people is enough, this can come out of the rate of the surname of the people, there are only about 100 people, so, the court may barely be able to provide some official positions for these people, in this way, the Guozijian is also attractive, otherwise, the world is not stupid, this can not see the future of the Guozijian, who will come to the regular prison? ”

This minister actually thought clearly for the emperor, in all aspects, more intimate than Yang reformed his own intimate minister, and actually considered the reputation of this national eunuch, the way out, and the accommodating capacity. According to this line of thinking, the number of people who can be imprisoned every year is only 1,000, because no matter how many, the imperial court will never be able to take out so many positions. If you can't get a position, this Guozijian will have no future, and if there is no future, who will come to Guozijian? No one is a fool.

Yang Gai felt that the gap between this thousand people and the number in his mind was too big, and he wanted to open a university town! Get a thousand people now, this is the scale of an ordinary secondary school! It's still the private kind.

"This thousand people, it's a little too little, these thousand people, even if each supervisor loses a thousand stone of rice, it is only one million stone of rice per year, which is only two million taels of silver! This is a little far from my previous study of 10,000 people. Yang Gai said dissatisfiedly. The gap between this and the "plan" is really too big.

The ministers on the ground were convulsed by the emperor's words, and the emperor's words were not ordinary ruthless, they were too amazing. A minister really couldn't figure out why the emperor couldn't look down on the two million taels of silver.

"Your Majesty, isn't two million taels enough? My annual income is only three million taels, Your Majesty, which is already a lot. "This person is heartbroken, this is worth a year's income, not much, so what is a lot? [The taxes of the Ming Dynasty are very complicated, and the actual total amount collected is more than 30 million taels of silver, but the number on the books is only a few million taels received from the central government, and the rest belong to local interceptions and are consumed on the spot, hehe, it is a bit similar to our current tax reform before. 】

"Is 2 million taels a year a lot for these 1,000 people to go to school? Didn't we have a scene where more than 10,000 people went to school? Why can't I do it now? Yang Reform didn't look down on the two million taels very much, thinking that he could get two million taels by casually opening a golden finger and pulling and pulling, and what he thought was the kind of "spectacular scene" where 10,000 people went to school and received tens of millions of taels from him every year.

"Back to Your Majesty, can Your Majesty say that I am the ancestor of the dynasty, the grand occasion when I became the ancestor? These 10,000 people go to school, it is indeed a feat of the moment, but, Your Majesty, at that time, the country was created and urgently needed talents, so even if 10,000 people were imprisoned to study, there were still thousands of people who could go through the process and be assigned to official positions every year, so the people of the world were still flocking to it, but later, the country gradually got on the right track, and there was no need for so many people, and there was no superfluous distribution of official positions, so later these 10,000 people were imprisoned, which was accumulated in one or two decades, and not every year there were 10,000 people, Your Majesty, That's not the same thing at all! Nowadays, there really are not so many vacancies to place so many people" The minister explained this internal reason to the emperor, at the beginning of the ten thousand people in prison, that is because the country is grass-created, a large number of official positions are wholesaled, and those who are in prison have great hope to be able to enter the office, even if 10,000 people are in prison, more than 1,000 official positions can be allocated every year, this is the benefit of the country's grass-roots creation, and later, the country has entered a period of stable development, and this manpower obviously does not need to be so much, these 10,000 people are studying, it is a decade or two of accumulation, stagnation, Now if you want to follow the example of 10,000 people in prison when the country was founded, it is impossible, someone has already done it before, it doesn't work, and it has made the reputation of the country's eunuch stink.

Yang Reform is also stupid, it turns out that these 10,000 people have studied for one or two decades, and he definitely can't expect that he can make a lot of money by wholesale official positions like he did when he founded the country. Yang Reform burst into tears, and he also understood, no wonder this Chengzu Zhu Di had the money to build the Great Wall, the money to build Zheng He's fleet to go to the West, and the money to do all kinds of super projects. Now if you want to take this road, it won't work, this empire, but in the last days! Not to mention casual wholesale official hats.

"I think this Aiqing is reasonable, this Aiqing, then according to you, I reopened the country, the limit of this number of people, how much is it every year?" Yang Reform was silent for a long time, and decided to be pragmatic, this tribute of 10,000 people a year should still be thought about in a dream, this is still to get a tribute of 1,000 people a year first, and then talk about it, I also feel strange, how can these courtiers cooperate with themselves like this today. The whole thing is to speak according to their own ideas. Basically, there was no objection.

The minister who had just reminded the emperor was flattered and asked so kindly by the emperor, but it was rare, and he immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to limit it to 1,000 people at most, if it is 2,000 people per year, in five years, there will be 10,000 people, and the scale is too large,...... Every year, one or two hundred people are better, and then among these people, there can be a hundred people, it is good, this, is already the limit, it is best a few years later, when the imperial court has abundant income, stop the donation of this case of prison, so, it will not cause the prison of the country to stagnate, as next time, the court encounters an emergency, can still reopen the routine prison donation, and the minister thinks that these official positions are better to give more remote yamen, so that it will not hinder the imperial examination, will not shake the country. "This minister thinks about the emperor in everything and everything, thinks about all aspects of the problem clearly, and even explains things clearly.

Yang Gai felt that in this court, how could these ministers today all speak to themselves, and everything is according to themselves, is this Liu Jishan's "horse boy"? It's not like that! The minister stood much higher than Liu Jishan. Obviously, it won't be Liu Jishan's horse, and Liu Jishan didn't appear today, which is really weird.

"Well, this Aiqing is extremely reasonable, I think that since all Aiqing have agreed to reopen the country, then reopen the country, this number will be set at 1,000 for the time being......" Yang reformed and calculated, the minister was right, this is a thousand people a year, and in four or five years, there are 5,000 people, and the scale of these 5,000 people is not small. Every year, one-tenth of the person's history is provided, and the attraction of Guozijian is not small.

In fact, there are still university questions here, but Yang Reform doesn't understand, this is a hundred officials a year, which looks quite a lot, and this can be regarded as a compromise between the bureaucrats and the emperor. In fact, among the prisoners of this country, many of them are meritorious people, such as this eunuch, who is a person in itself, and a person can be an official, and this Meng Prison, which is a court official, the descendants of the nobles, will definitely be an official, and this is also a certain quota, and there are also some such as the local official [that is, the leader of the ethnic minority, who has been an official for generations, different from the flow of officials], after completing this study, he also wants to go home to be an official, and there are also some prisoners, whose homes were originally guards, garrisons, military attachés such as commanders, these people, There are also some places that can be allocated, but generally speaking, in fact, there are not many places that are really allocated to the regular supervisors of the Guozi Prison. In fact, the ministers are just secretly changing concepts, stealing and playing tricks, and coaxing the emperor. Yang reformed the emperor, the history is too white, and he was deceived and helped the number of money.

Yang Reform was ready to settle this matter like this, but someone below stood up and had something to play.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, I don't know if I should say it or not?" This official stood behind, and Yang Reform looked at it, isn't this Liu Jishan?

"Well, Liu Aiqing said, what's the matter." Yang Gai felt that he didn't play any role at all today, and the ministers tried their best to "help" him to speak, and there was no room for him to play at all. I don't know what tricks he has now.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since the number of official positions in this court is limited, and it is impossible to give so many official positions to the prisoners, Your Majesty can allocate some of the places of the officials in the various yamen to the prisoners of this country, so that Your Majesty, relying on the amount of donations from the prison every year, can be increased to two or three million taels of silver, and please ask Your Majesty to decide." After Liu Jishan proposed, he was silent.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately stirred up a big wave above the court, and the ministers all looked sideways.

"Your Majesty, this official has never been in the stream, not an official, and a lifelong official, if this kind of position is assigned to the prisoners of the Guozi Prison, I'm afraid no one will like this way out! Who would do such an errand for the rest of his life? Your Majesty, the minister thinks, is purely superfluous. "A minister came out and objected.

Yang Gai feels that it makes sense, people in the world are fighting for being officials, not being officials, and there is a world of difference between being an official and being an official.

Liu Jishan came out again and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that they are not in the stream for the officials, it is because they have no official qualities, why doesn't Your Majesty give this official goods to these prisoners and prisoners who do the errands of the officials?" Thinking about this country's prison, there are also prisoners who are born as people. Your Majesty can give these prisoners an errand of officials, although these officials do not enter the stream, do not enter everyone's eyes, but Your Majesty can bring an official product for these people who raise the prison to do things, this will become an official with official quality, think about it, if this official is effective, diligent and talented, with official quality, but can be promoted out as an official, it is also a way to expand the country's prison into the office! I think this person can also enter the office, if he enters, at least it is a ninth grade, or seven or eight grades is also possible, His Majesty brings an official product to them, it is not too much, presumably, many people will flock to the country. Liu Jishan really spoke powerfully, this official with official qualities, he could come up with this kind of idea, it can be seen that for the emperor's errand, he still put a lot of effort and racked his brains.

Liu Jishan's words surprised the ministers even more! Officials with official goods, ...... such a thing, have you ever had it before? The ministers for a while, their brains have also short-circuited, Xu officials can't be officials, that's because they are officials, there is no grade, and now they have this kind of official ...... with official products, think about it, Liu Jishan's words are not completely unreasonable, this eunuch can be a person, and if he is an official, at least he is a first-class official, and it is not strange to even be a seven-grade county commander or something. It is not impossible for him to carry an official hat from the ninth grade and do this kind of errand of an official, which seems to be "reasonable", but the future of this "official" is limited, and the future of promotion is not big, but for ordinary people, it is still attractive to be an official.

Yang Reform didn't expect that this Liu Jishan was still so powerful, and his combat effectiveness was still so strong. immediately said: "Liu Aiqing's idea is good, doing the errand of the Xu officials, carrying an official product on his body, this is a good way, which can greatly increase the proportion of the country's eunuchs, and can greatly improve the way for the country's eunuchs to enter the office!" I think this year, there are a lot of donations! Does that Aiqing have any objections? Yang was so happy that he laughed out loud.

The ministers muttered in their hearts, this matter, it seems, it seems that the way for the country to enter the prison has expanded, but, think about it carefully, this is actually the way to enter the imperial examination has expanded, I think this Liu Jishan said that this prison is included in the scope of official products, this prison, is the name after the person is put into the prison, this person, itself can be admitted to the official, but unfortunately, every three years there are only 300 jinshi, and less than one percent of the people who can carp jump over the dragon gate, so, if this person can take the road of the national eunuch to enter the office, first do the affairs of the officials, After all, it is very possible to be promoted to become an official in the future by relying on the boss, colleagues and friends. This is a great way out for the imperial examination!

Everyone has calculated the gains and losses in their hearts, and some people have thought it clearly and smiled.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is good governance, thinking that there are only three hundred Jinshi in the world every three years, and this person is ten times that of Jinshi, this move, but for the world to raise people, to find a way out, although the promotion is limited, but it is also a way to enter the body, presumably, this world to raise people, must be rushed." The minister obviously understood the "truth" and immediately came out to agree.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks it is reasonable, I think that in the early years of our dynasty, the prison of this country was stagnant, and there were also those who asked for an official body to retire, but the court gave the treatment of 'the name of the outer nine grades, and the crown and the idle residence', and also gave these prisoners an official body of the outer nine grades, and now it is not an exaggeration to give these people an official body." The Minister immediately came up with a viable basis, and that was the precedent that had been set beforehand.

Many other people, when they heard it, turned out to be the case, and they also understood, on the surface, it was to provide a way for the Guozijian to enter the office, but in fact, it was to provide a better way and treatment for the people of the imperial examination, and the matter of the Guozijian, in fact, the fundamental problem was the system dispute between the imperial examination and the prison students, and the dispute was for the way for the system to dominate the official. Now it's just that these hopeless people who are admitted to the Jinshi have taken a turn around in the country and paid a little more "training fee", so that the imperial court has to donate and lose, and the people have to go through the road to the office, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds. This is a battle over systems that does not involve the path to office.

Yang Gengai heard this, and also understood, this is obvious, that is, let those people become officials through donations! This is selling official porridge to raise people! As this minister said, the average number of Jinshi is only 100 every year, and this is ten times the number of Jinshi! If this lifts people through this country, first to be an official with official products, and then to be an official, this way, will definitely attract a large number of people to take this road, think about this for many years, I am afraid that most of the people have not made an official to do, now that this road has been opened, this country is a prison, I am afraid that this year will be full! Yang Reform suddenly found that this Liu Jishan was really cute.

Yang Reform crackled and quickly hit his own calculations, calculating how much money he could get in the first year, what Yang Reform wanted was to be able to make a lot of money in the past few years, not some trickle of long-term trading, and he couldn't wait to pull it down with a hammer. This person is the ruling class of this society, and this silver is definitely there, that is to say, a thousand stone meters, you can change to an "official" who does the work of the officials first, this trick can not be described as not poisonous! Hit the itch in people's hearts that is hopeless and hopeless to be an official!
