The more exceptional is the former Ming prince Zhu Cihong. Wu Shigong will give him 30,000 taels of settling-in expenses, and after Fengyang is recovered, he will place his whole family in the Zhu family's hometown to worship the ancestors and guard the tomb for the Ming Emperor. And Zhu Cihong's title will only be retired once, and when he retires to the marquis, he will no longer be retired, and he will always retain this title.

Before the establishment of the Great Ping Dynasty, many people, and even some former Ming officials, secretly told Wu Shigong that they should physically eliminate all the remnants of the former dynasty and prevent people from taking them as a call to raise troops to rebel and threaten the rule of the new dynasty. However, after reaching the worst situation, Wu Shigong still chose this relatively "gentle" disposal method.

It seems that Wu Shigong is a bit of a woman's kindness, but Wu Shigong also has his own ideas. After all, the number of ambitious former Ming royal families was small, and many people were content to enjoy it, and they didn't have the courage to rebel anymore.

Moreover, the general principle of the current Daping Dynasty is stability - stability. If the former Ming royal family is killed like a river of blood, it will always cause some people to panic. Even some of the former Ming royal families who wanted to return had to resist to the end. In this way, it actually caused the Great Ping Dynasty to be unstable, and at least it would cost a lot of military and financial resources.

Another point is that the rise of the Runing Army was too fast, and it almost accepted all the officials of the former Ming Dynasty. And among these people, it is impossible to distinguish who has a different heart. If there are these former Ming royal families as an attraction, let some people with different intentions raise troops to rebel together. The Great Ping Dynasty can gather and annihilate it, but it can get twice the result with half the effort.

In the final analysis, even if those former Ming royal families really rebelled, Wu Shigong could wait until after the Southern Ming, Manchu, Dashun and Daxi were eliminated. Let's have a final solution! Of course, if these former Ming royal families were honest, Wu Shigong wouldn't want to use that ruthless method.

3. In the Amnesty Decree. The Manchu and Mongol tribes were also included. In fact, this is a foreshadowing, for Wu Shigong to rule the Mongolian tribes and the Jurchens in Liaodong outside the Guanxi as a "golden family", and to do a good job of laying a certain foundation for public opinion. Of course, this must not be disclosed to the people of the world.

The second is the "Recruitment Order":

The core content of the "Recruitment Order" can also be summarized in one sentence: as long as before the establishment of the Daping Dynasty, all scholars with meritorious talents and above only need to apply. can be an official in the Daping Dynasty.

It is entirely fair to say that as soon as this decree is promulgated, it will shake the whole world. This will sweep away the world's readers. Let all the soldiers in the world return to their hearts.

Of course, there are two technical problems to be solved here: one is whether there are so many official positions? After all, there are hundreds of thousands of scholars above the talent level in the world; The other is whether the country's fiscal spending can be afforded. Because of so many official positions, it will be a huge amount.

As for the issue of official positions, the Daping Dynasty would have established many new yamen. Plus the most basic local political institutions. It will be degraded from the county level to the township level, and this will create more than 100,000 new official positions. Moreover, the Daping Dynasty will also establish national schools and medical centers in each township and county, and many scholars will also serve in these schools and medical centers after professional training.

As for the financial issues, the Great Peace Dynasty will encourage the development of industry and commerce. Unlike the former Ming Dynasty, everyone in the Daping Dynasty, including the imperial family, would pay taxes. And the amount of excise tax will also be increased to one-tenth.

And not all scholars are willing to go to office, after all, some people are old and infirm. Or "the heart is forward". And as time goes by, those redundant officials will also be eliminated naturally, and the Daping Dynasty will also return to the normal number of officials.

However, in the "Recruitment Order", there are four important changes:

1. The imperial examination system. Over the next decade, the imperial examination system, which used to be based on the eight-strand script, will be gradually reformed, and will eventually adopt a graded examination and a method of restricting age.

The Great Ping Dynasty will gradually implement education for all. As long as the boys are of school age, they will enter the first-level school for three years. At the end of the three years, the examination will be selected, and some of the outstanding ones will be selected to enter the second-level academy to study. And so on, all the way to the highest level of the fifth level school. This is actually a replica of modern elementary schools, high schools, junior high schools, high schools and universities. It is through such layers of examinations that outstanding talents are finally selected and served as court officials.

Of course, the details will not be detailed. The practice of the Daping Dynasty is not only to select talents, but also to achieve literacy for the whole people. However, it also depends on the financial revenue of the imperial court, and it has to be done step by step. Wu Shigong estimates that if a prototype can be reached within 20 years, then it will be very satisfying.

Second, the content of the imperial examination. In the content of the new imperial examination, at the beginning, the "Four Books and Five Classics" still dominated, and it was claimed that Confucian education was still carried out. But in it, Wu Shigong still stuffed quite a lot of private goods.

The new imperial examination will be divided into five subjects: literature, morality, arithmetic, nature, and physical arts. Of course, his Chinese studies and moral character are all derived from the "Four Books and Five Classics", and at most some educational content such as loyalty and patriotism and collectivism are added. As for arithmetic and physical arts, the original imperial examination did not attach much importance to this, but these two subjects are still among the six arts of Confucianism, so it is reasonable to add this content. As for nature, it is nothing more than a combination of geometry, physics, and chemistry. In order to strengthen students' ability to work after graduation, it is understandable that Zhilu will share some such knowledge, so it has not been opposed by too many people.

In particular, physical surgery should be mentioned. Wu Shigong did not simply let students go to physical education classes, he integrated military training into physical education subjects. In fact, a kind of all-people military training is carried out to prepare for the general mobilization of the whole people in case of a general mobilization of the whole people.

It is worth mentioning that all civil and military officials unanimously agree with Wu Shigong's practice of strengthening education. At most, there are some minor words in the setting of some subjects.

3. Official position setting. Because the Daping Dynasty had more township-level institutions, the grading of officials would increase. All the new officials will also start from the grassroots level, and only those who are particularly outstanding will go back and forth to serve in the imperial court and localities. In order not to be like the original imperial examination, once the title of the gold list is inscribed, he will enter the Hanlin Academy, not grounded, and do not know the truth of the people.

Moreover, the Daping Dynasty will also break the dividing line between officials and officials. Some of the leaders of the officials will become the lowest-ranking officials, and the best of the officials can also be promoted to officials. In fact, this is also a kind of prototype of the modern civil service system.

4. Qualifications for appointment. In addition to the examination and selection of those who graduated from the fifth-level academy, there are also retired over-age military attachés who are eligible to serve. It is also a way to improve the status of military personnel. Of course, those who have the title of master craftsman among the craftsmen can also be officials, but they are at most technical officials. (To be continued......)
