Chapter 566: Graduation Test
For three years, Wang Xuan seemed very quiet, and even with it, the entire Ming Dynasty also seemed very quiet.
It's just that the so-called quiet is only at the political level, in fact, the pace of construction has not stopped, and according to the current scale, it will not be possible to complete the construction blueprint planned by Wang Xuan for more than ten years.
In this large-scale infrastructure construction process, at the level of rights, the Ministry of Industry was dismantled and turned into several departments, and in terms of personnel, each department was even larger than the original Ministry of Industry.
In fact, not only the Ministry of Industry, but also the Ministry of Rites was completely dismantled by Wang Xuan, and a separate Ministry of Education was established to promote three-year compulsory education nationwide.
All school-age children must go to school and complete basic education, and Wang Xuan didn't think about it in one step, so he didn't do any nine-year compulsory education.
Regarding Wang Xuan's compulsory education, in fact, most people are resistant, but no one dares to speak out.
Because in the past two years, Wang Xuan has once again recruited an army of 200,000, and now, the strength of the entire Ming Dynasty has reached 600,000, which is a real elite, and the so-called million guards are completely incomparable.
And these soldiers are no longer for life, and will be discharged after six years.
There are 600,000 troops pressing the formation, naturally no one dares to raise any objections in the face, but secretly there are not a few violators, for these people, Wang Xuan directly uses thunder methods, and there is no forgiveness for killing!
Although Wang Xuan's killings are extremely heavy and his requirements for officials are extremely strict, but, surprisingly, Wang Xuan's reputation is gradually getting better, because Wang Xuan's treatment of officials is high enough, and at the same time, he turns a blind eye to 'bribery', but the crackdown on 'bribery' is particularly ruthless.
In his words, you are not strong-willed and tempted, which is understandable, no one is perfect, but if you take the initiative to tempt people, this is full of malice and ruined quality, and it is understandable to commit a felony against such people.
In the palace, Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang Xuan and asked with a puzzled expression: "Teacher, why have you been promoting the reform of the law, but you have not been resisted, and it has been effectively implemented, and in all dynasties, the reform has ended in nothing." ”
"There are not no successful reforms in history, but they are all in the early stage of the establishment of the dynasty, and the failure of the reform is mostly in the middle and late stages of the dynasty, do you understand the difference between the two?" Wang Xuan didn't answer directly, but asked loudly to the more than three hundred people below.
In the past three years, Wang Xuan has given a class to these students once a week, there is no fixed textbook or subject, any people ask questions, Wang Xuan is only responsible for answering, these questions are strange, but most of them are beyond Wang Xuan's knowledge, this can only be said that the posture of the Internet era is explosive, all kinds of messy postures are too easy to obtain, and the infinite exchange of information also makes everyone learn all the postures.
Zhu Youxiao's brows furrowed, and he remembered when Wang Xuan reminded him that there were actually many successful examples of law changes, but they were all ignored subconsciously, why?
In the middle of the sound, Zhu Youxiao raised his head, "Is it because in the early days of the dynasty, the armed forces were strong, and there were few opponents, or rather, no one dared to oppose it?" ”
Wang Xuan didn't answer directly, his eyes looked at the others, and the boss of the Xu family thought for a while and said, "Is it because in the early days of the dynasty, all the laws were not determined, and there was more room for change?" ”
"Not only that, but there should also be reasons why there are few vested interests and the opposition is not strong enough."
A group of people gossip, but they also say the same.
"Most of what you're saying is right." Wang Xuan bowed slightly, and added: "The strong force, the uncertain law, and the few vested interests are all reasons on the one hand, but they are not the main reasons. ”
"There is a wise saying, the world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit, as long as there are enough benefits, then you only need to push a little, and follow the trend to make the change smoothly."
"To give a negative example, Zhang Juzheng, the purpose of the whole change is good, but from beginning to end, except for the court can get some benefits, everyone else has losses, it is normal to be resisted, how can the court have absolute force to suppress, and it is normal to fall short in the end, on the other hand, the change should not pursue big and complete, it should start small, and come out one by one."
"It's the same change, I also clarified the acres of land, but I also implemented tax cuts, which actually didn't hurt anyone, and there was the possibility of implementation, and the strong military force was just an accelerated process."
"For example, commercial tax, I increased the proportion of commercial tax, but at the same time began to vigorously support business, unified taxation, no longer have a place and a tax, a pass and a card, from a practical point of view, the profits of businessmen only increased but not decreased, of course, you can get the support of businessmen."
"The same is to build roads, build hydraulic facilities, the Qin Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty and other dynasties, are large-scale requisition of people, forcibly promote the construction of roads, and finally make the world complain, the people are boiling, and I build roads, only responsible for money, businessmen have money to make, naturally do their best, the people have money to take the natural attitude, and although the country has money, but businessmen have to pay taxes, the people are rich to consume, consumption will drive businessmen, businessmen have to pay taxes, several cycles, the country actually pays not more than the previous dynasties, Maybe less, but more is done. ”
"And the road can also be used to charge the passing carriages in the later stage, the cost can be low, but the amount is large, and the country still earns it in the end."
"It is the reform of the department, theoretically I dismantled the Ministry of Industry, will be strongly opposed by the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and others, and the other departments of the six departments will also be sad and sad, and they must be tried to prevent it, but after the dismantling, more departments will be established, more people will be promoted, and everyone's rights will be expanded, and more supporters will be received. Apparently not! ”
"Of course, it's better to protect all this with absolute force, so that you can carry out your plan without being disturbed, otherwise you won't even have a chance to come up with an idea."
Before the end of the class, Wang Xuan finally said: "It's been three years, you should learn about the same, and the rest still depends on yourself, presumably, you also want to escape from me, get up early every day, eat badly, and don't sleep well The days have finally come to an end, congratulations!" ”
Wang Xuan suddenly said this, and the whole big classroom was silent, no one cheered, no one showed a smile, everyone just stared at Wang Xuan, and they couldn't accept it for a while.
There is no need to endure whether Wang Xuan is shooting out of the finger wind, and there is no need to experience that kind of pain and torture, it stands to reason that everyone should be happy, but one by one they are not happy, more of a sour and reluctant feeling rises in their hearts.
These people are not really stupid, if they say that they didn't know why Wang Xuan accepted them and trained them at the beginning, but after cutting the feudal domain, they basically understood Wang Xuan's general meaning.
This group of gentlemen has never lacked food or clothing, but their essence is not bad, although they are not doing their jobs, they have never had any major bad deeds, otherwise, they would not have been able to enter Wang Xuan's door, and they were slapped to death outside the door.
They do not lack material needs, but on the contrary, they do lack spiritually.
Many so-called bad boys are not how bad he is, or how naughty he is by nature, but more when he was a child, he wanted to attract more attention from his family and deliberately played pranks.
It was Wang Xuan who really pulled them out of the quagmire, from a lump of mud that couldn't support the wall, to be reshaped, and under the scorching fire, from the mud to exquisite porcelain.
Now, the status of these guys in the family is completely different from before, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a new generation of rising stars.
At this moment, when they learned that they had finished their studies and were about to leave Wang Xuan himself, most of them had red eyes, and some of them who were more emotional had begun to rub their noses.
It's like military training, when you practice, you shout tired and bitter, and when you end up, you cry.
Wang Xuan smiled heartily, and his heart was also full of a sense of achievement, those who were already famous in history, to be honest, Wang Xuan did not have any sense of accomplishment when he cultivated, and now the responsibility is different, these people who were originally unknown in history have become talented in their own hands, which makes him feel a little touched.
Wang Xuan is already gradually reforming the criteria for admission to the imperial examination, and it is foreseeable that in the future, these guys will be able to embark on a career even according to the normal process, not to mention that Wang Xuan is still paving the way for them.
"Okay, okay, look at you like this, it's not life and death, don't do the whole thing with me, thank God if you don't embarrass Lao Tzu in the future!" Wang Xuan looked up at the sky, "Don't be happy so early, there is still a task for you in the end." ”
When it came to the task, everyone's spirits were shocked, Xu was a teacher and student, Wang Xuan arranged a task for them for the last time, and everyone listened very carefully.
"The grassland peoples have always been a big problem for my Central Plains Dynasty, the Qin Emperor Han Wu, the Tang Dynasty and the Song Ancestors, so thousands of years, has not been solved, and most of the time, our Huaxia is in passive defense, has been violated by the grassland people, the reason is that the climatic conditions are too bad, and there are not too many interests on the grassland, for the dynasty is a burden that outweighs the loss."
"Now, I intend to completely solve the grassland side troubles, and this is also your graduation test!"
As soon as Wang Xuan said this, everyone was excited, for Wang Xuan, who fished them out of the quagmire, they would become complete brainless fans, no one doubted that Wang Xuan's words, if he could participate in this kind of big event, he would definitely go down in history, and this kind of opportunity should not be missed.
