The Emperor of the Apocalypse scolded with a smile: "You have the most twists and turns in your belly, so I naturally want to listen to the truth." Since I ascended the throne, few people have told me the truth except for Wei Banban. If even Brother Cheng doesn't tell me the truth, then I'm not too pitiful. ”

Zhu Youcheng said: "Your Majesty, the Like Gongshi are indeed one in a million to admit, but they cannot be called talents, they can only be called examination machines." They study hard all day long, reading the "Four Books and Five Classics", but they do not produce, once they are on behalf of the heavens and herdsmen, how do they know how to support the people? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Cheng's words are wrong, most of the governors and county magistrates in the Ming Dynasty are from the imperial examination, if it is really like what you said, the Jingcha once every six years, I don't know how many mediocre officials will be dismissed." However, as far as I know, there are very few mediocre officials dismissed in Jingchazhong, but there are not a few competent or excellent officials. ”

"Your Majesty, many knowledgeable scholars regard the "Four Books and Five Classics" as a stepping stone to enter the political arena, and delve into the way of helping the people through the world after being admitted to the Jinshi. They are very intelligent, and they are naturally quick to learn other things. Most of them became the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty. But there are also many people with mediocre intelligence who are local officials, and in order to make up for the shortcomings, they ask the master to ......"

"Master?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked suspiciously.

"Master, is the staff, the person who advises the employer. Ordinary county officials have to invite more than three masters, such as criminal masters, money and grain masters, copywriting masters, and so on, and even some county officials invite six or seven masters, and the civil affairs, military and government of a county are all in the hands of masters. In other words, now seven or eight out of ten of the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty are in the hands of the officials. If the imperial court clears the master and dismisses all these people, then the Ming Dynasty will be unqualified. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was shocked and said, "I can't imagine that the local officials would entrust all the government affairs to their subordinates, so what else do I want these officials to do?" Brother Cheng, do you think I will fire these officials in batches and conduct scientific examinations, can we solve the problem? ”

"Those officials were originally from the scientific examination, and they have been in politics for many years, and they already have some experience, if they are eliminated and then taken by scientific examination, they will come up as novices, and they are not as good as those old bureaucrats."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned and pondered, but Wei Zhongxian smiled and said: "Brother Cheng, you never do things that you are not sure of, if you don't have a countermeasure, how can you say to the emperor that officials are not qualified?" Your Majesty, don't think about it, Brother Cheng has a good way. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse laughed and said, "Brother Cheng is always like this, half of the words are said, half of the words are left, if you really want to make a good deal of it, it will be bad." Well, I don't want to, you say what to do. ”

Zhu Youcheng looked confident and said: "It's easy, you can't learn to be an official." ”

"Learn? Where to learn, who will teach? ”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, listen to me slowly. In fact, officials are also knowledgeable, if they are local governors, they are in charge of justice, adjudication, public security, taxation, forced labor, agricultural affairs, relief, and military affairs, and they are in charge of almost everything, while the affairs of the central governor are simpler, and each department has a prescribed task, and it is enough to complete the corresponding tasks. These should be taught to them, not to be explored. Every move of officials is related to the people's livelihood, and if they are self-taught, it is a crime against the people. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, and Zhu Youcheng continued.

"In fact, I think that officials in any department should go through pre-job training before taking office, so that they can understand how to govern. I do not exclude officials from asking for masters, but if officials do not understand how to be officials, the master will collude with lower-level officials and cheat on officials, which is more dangerous than direct corruption of officials. Because the officials are still thinking about promotion, and the petty officials are only thinking about making as many benefits as possible in their office. ”

"Brother Cheng is very reasonable, who do you think should teach them?"

"It should not be taught by one person, a special institution should be set up. This has two advantages, one is to form a system to prevent people from going to politics; Second, a system has been formed, and education has become more comprehensive. I have already thought of the name of the new institution, which is called Daming School of Administration. ”

"Good!" Emperor Apocalypse took the case, "This academy is like Guozijian, from the institution of Sanpin, you and Wei Banban discuss the location, and you will be responsible for the construction." The person in charge of the academy is also called the festival bar, so it's up to you to be the one. Whoever you fell in love with as a teacher, tell me directly, and I will transfer him by order. ”

"Your Majesty," Zhu Youcheng knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Shu Weichen can't accept the duty of sacrificing wine." ”

"Oh, the little official? The sacrificial wine is a high-ranking official from the third grade. I know that you have the ability to kill and assist, but you also have to accumulate experience at the grassroots level and climb up step by step. You're only fourteen years old, and no one is convinced that I promoted you to a second-grade Shangshu. ”

The sacrificial wine from the three products is the grassroots, if this is heard by the previous champions, I am afraid not to cry. The champion comes out once every three years, and with a little luck, he can be a petty official of the seventh grade. This tribute has not yet been tested, and he has been promised to be a high-ranking official from the third grade, and he also said that he is exercising at the grassroots level. According to this statement, the states and counties, isn't that the grassroots grassroots?

Wei Zhongxian was surprised and delighted, he couldn't imagine that his grandson Zhu Youcheng was so valued by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Zhu Youcheng said solemnly: "To train the world's officials, the responsibility is heavy, and the person who serves is the teacher of the hundred officials." The choice of sacrificial wine must be cautious, otherwise it will give some people with ill intentions a big opportunity. ”

Only then did the Emperor of the Apocalypse remember that the Donglin Party had grown up by relying on a Donglin Academy, and if an ambitious person was allowed to be the sacrificial wine of the Ming School of Administration, it would really be out of tune at that time.

"Brother Cheng is right, I have to be cautious about this candidate for sacrificial wine."

"Actually, Weichen already has a candidate for sacrificial wine in his heart."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was overjoyed, Zhu Youcheng's idea must be a high-quality product, he already knew this, so he said: "Let's hear it." ”

"This person is far away in the sky, close in front of him, it is the emperor's majesty."

"I, but I don't know how to be an official."

"The sacrificial wine of the Guozijian is rarely taught to the students. You just need to attend the meetings of the academy regularly and occasionally give them a lecture on the principles of loyalty and patriotism. In this way, all the officials are protégés of the Son of Heaven, and they will respect and love the Emperor even more. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse laughed, thinking of the way those Jinshi called their teachers, he was really a little proud.

After laughing for a long time, he suddenly remembered something else, so he asked, "Brother Cheng, you said that you are a half-astronomical jinshi." What do you think of Wu Jinshi? ”

"Naturally, I wanted to set up an academy to teach them. Compared with Wenchen, the education of military generals is more urgent. Famous generals are grown up in iron and blood, and the mountains of corpses and blood make peerless famous generals, but education can effectively shorten this process. Although many Wujin soldiers are full of military books, they have no experience in leading soldiers, and when they go to the battlefield, they make mistakes in command, sacrificing the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and frustrating the sharpness of the Ming Dynasty. The name of this academy, Weichen also thought of it, and it was called Daming Military Academy. ”

"Needless to say, the sacrificial wine of this military academy is me."

Zhu Youcheng said with a smile: "The emperor is shengming." ”

"Brother Cheng, you have been prepared. However, I have become a sacrificial wine, and you can't push the position of secretary anymore. However, Si Ye is an official from the fourth grade, will he be too distorted of you? ”

Wei Honglian, who sent the soup in, was so shocked that she was so shocked that she almost overturned the tray: When does the emperor have to discuss with his courtiers, and ask Zhu Youcheng not to be a small official. How old is he, he will be sealed from the fourth grade, and when he is twenty years old, he will not be sealed with a positive grade.

Seeing Wei Honglian coming in, the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly smiled and said, "That's it, I will give you a compensation, and seal Wei Honglian as the Lady of the Five Grades." ”

Wei Honglian whispered: "The concubine has received the grace of the first emperor, and it is already a five-grade fate. ”

"Oh, then raise it one level higher, Mrs. Fourth-Rank Command."

Wei Honglian was very happy, other people's families were all father's wives and sons, and their own family was reversed, Zhu Youcheng did not enjoy his own blessings, but let himself change from a helpless widow to a lady of the command.

"By the way, after talking about it for so long, there is a big thing I forgot to ask you. I checked the origins of Wen Gongshi this year, and there are a lot of people in Jiangsu, and some of them seem to be inextricably linked with the Donglin Party. I would like to ask you, is there any way to solve this problem? ”

Zhu Youcheng replied casually: "This is too easy. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was drinking the thick soup made by Wei Honglian, and when he heard Zhu Youcheng's words, Hao Xuan was not choked to death by the soup. The Donglin Party is dominant, and it has been unable to control it since the middle and late Wanli Dynasty. In order to suppress the power of the Donglin Party, Emperor Shenzongxian rarely added officials above the third grade, so that the imperial court said that there was a shortage of officials every year; By the time of Taichang (the name of Mingguangzong) and the Apocalypse, the power of the Donglin Party could no longer be contained, and the dignified emperor hid in the palace as a carpenter to escape reality. The three emperors couldn't handle it, you actually said that it was easy, the first emperor said that you were a demon, you are really a demon.
