Chapter 751: Seeing the Driver

Zhang Jingyi could feel Sun Chengzong's indignation.

In fact, people with a discerning eye know that many of the problems of the Ming Dynasty are actually just superficial.

The root cause is still a human problem.

Eight shares can stabilize the world.

After all, it is better for those people with solid families to become officials by reading the useless eight shares than for them to figure out other things.

But the problem is that the hundreds of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty who have studied the Four Books and the Five Classics have no production, but they have a high social status, and at the same time, they may also influence the direction of the country and determine the politics, public opinion and economy of the entire country...... It's terrifying.

It's okay when it's peaceful, with the huge national strength of the Central Dynasty, it's enough to solve some small crises.

But once the world becomes less and less peaceful, is it still useful to rely on these people alone?

Zhang Jingyi solved a Wang Wenjun.

Sun Chengzong's thoughts are deeper than Zhang Jingyi's, and what he is worried about is that there are Wang Wenjun everywhere in this world.

Some of these Wang Wenjun may only have a tiny official position, or a prefect, or a county order, or even a local edict, but they are all over every corner of the entire Ming Dynasty, eroding the flesh and blood of the Ming Dynasty all the time.

At this time, Zhang Jingyi said with a smile: "Sun Gong also came out of the imperial examination. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "It is precisely because the old man is also a member of the eight shares, and when he really goes out, he knows that what he has learned in the past is completely useless, and the good time is wasted here." Of course, it doesn't matter whether learning is useful or not. What's important is ...... Nowadays, everyone uses the Eight Strands to distinguish the level of a person's talent and ability. A person from a Jinshi background is a brilliant person, but a person from a scholar's background is also acceptable, if he is a talent, he can still be regarded as having read a book, and as for the others, they are all despicable and useless people. In the long run, everyone learns eight shares, and the world is a good talent...... Where should I leave it? ”

After a pause, Sun Chengzong said again: "These days, the old man thinks a lot, the so-called reading to be an official, itself is a matter of people's hearts, I opened the country in the Ming Dynasty, not relying on the talents of the eight shares, Emperor Chengzu Jing is difficult, and it is not the talents of the eight shares, at that time there was the imperial examination, but there were not many scholars, because ...... There are many kinds of talents, people with different talents, some rely on following Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu from the dragon, and worship the prime minister, and some can go to sea with people and inspect the Quartet. But later, there were more and more scholars, and when the country was founded, a person could become an official, and even with his ability, he could enter the cabinet. ”

"But now? In the whole south of the Yangtze River, there are nearly 100,000 talents, and there are as many people as dogs, and Jinshi is not rare...... Think about it, what will it be like if the world goes on like this? ”

"Involution." Spit out these two words, Zhang Jingyi couldn't help laughing.

Sun Chengzong looked surprised and said, "What? ”

"Nothing." Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly, he just thought of this word between lightning and flint, but now that he thinks about it, the problem now lies in involution.

At the beginning, reading could be an official, so everyone began to roll desperately, and after two hundred and fifty years of rolling, what happened?

At the beginning of the exam, everyone did read the Four Books and the Five Classics, but there were few people who read, although reading was the main business, but studying for a few hours a day, that is, after all, people do not rely entirely on reading for a lifetime.

But later, especially after these two hundred and fifty years, it was terrible, more and more people were reading, but the fame of Jinshi and Juren was limited.

What to do?

How many hours do you read? Then I'll stay up all night. If you stay up all night, I'll hang the beam. If you do the questions every day, I will ask a famous teacher to teach.

The final result is that today's readers have become more and more eccentric, locked in the study every day, really to the point where they don't listen to what is going on outside the window, they are all crazy and frightened, and they don't do anything for the rest of their lives, just study the four books and five classics, and roll you to death.

After two hundred and fifty years of rolling, the level of Zhongjinshi's eight-strand literature is getting higher and higher, but his ability has dropped significantly.

Zhang Jingyi: "This is the foundation of the country, and Sun Gong now intends to change his ways, which is even better." ”

Sun Chengzong said: "Now it is not only the old man, but also many people of insight in the court, who also see the problem, this is all the credit of Zhang Dudu, if it is not for people to really see clearly, how can someone wake up?" This time, Zhang Dudu was victorious, and in the future, the old man would have to work with Zhang Dudu to change the problem of 'Wang Wenjun'. ”

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "I'm afraid it won't work." ”

"Huh?" Sun Chengzong frowned and said, "Does Governor Zhang think that the new policy does not need to be continued?" ”

Zhang Jingyi sighed and said: "Where to go, it's not my problem alone, what I can do is to let more people see the problem, as for how to change, it is exactly what people of insight like Sun Gong need to work on." ”

Sun Chengzong heard what Zhang Jing said, he raised his eyebrows sharply, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't continue to ask.

So he diverted the topic, chatted a few words, and then got into the car with Zhang Jingyi.

At noon, Zhang Jingyi finally entered the West Garden.

First go to the diligent palace to reinstate.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse had already looked forward to him coming, put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Zhang Qing has worked hard and made great achievements, it is really not easy, come here, give me a seat." ”

Saying that, without waiting for Zhang Jing to sit down, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said impatiently: "I have read the report of the Qing family, Wang Wenjun should be damned, send it to the capital, I will copy his whole family." It's just that this pirate has been defeated, will it make a comeback? What should be done with these pirates? ”

Zhang Jing said: "Don't think about making a comeback, they have completely cut off supplies, and the whole army is wiped out, it's only a matter of time." Now there are two problems, one is how to collect the ships and use them for our Ming Dynasty, and how to deal with these prisoners. The second is how to receive them in the West, not ...... In fact, it should be the South Seas, as well as the strongholds and commercial ports of Tianzhu and Kunlunzhou. Now their navy has almost been wiped out, and they will not be able to compete with our Ming Dynasty for decades, but the ironclad ships are not only expensive, but also slow to manufacture, and it takes a lot of time, so the minister's suggestion is that the captured ships should be used, and the ironclad ships should also be built. As for the trade points of these countries, as well as the colonies, now that they have lost their fleets, they have no way to maintain them, so I Daming naturally should also take advantage of the situation to put these all under my Daming Maritime Trade Company, with these strongholds and good ports, the future maritime trade, can dominate. ”

Emperor Apocalypse's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhang Jing excitedly: "Are those foreign lands also valuable?" ”

"It's worth too much." Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty can question the character of these pirates, but you can't underestimate their business vision!" Almost all of them come from thousands of miles to entrench the place, all of them are the best waterways in the world, and most of them are the most fertile land, with these, the network of sea trade can be connected, this vast sea, can become my Daming Inner Lake. And especially in Nanyang, there are a lot of expatriates in my Ming Dynasty, and they are of the same kind as my Ming Dynasty, so they can rely on them. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded and said, "I have written it down, you can do it according to your own thoughts, and I will take care of it here." ”

After a pause, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said again: "How to deal with these captives?" ”

Zhang Jing said: "There are a large number of captives, and they must be divided, some people are available, those who are available are used, and those who are not available are used...... Just kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys! It's really useless, you can also do coolies, the minister has an idea, from these captives, select a group of people who are proficient in maritime trade, and compile a book together, which is called the Atlas of the Sea Kingdom, how about it? ”

"If I want to forge ahead, if I rely on my own to explore the waterways in the world, it will not take many years, so I naturally have to learn from their experience. Of course, it is also necessary to kill a group, although the time for these pirates to make trouble is short, but the harm is huge, if you don't kill some, it will be difficult for the people to be angry, and it will be difficult to set an example. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "This matter ...... Zhang Qing ......"

Zhang Jingyi shook his head at this time and said, "Your Majesty, your ...... I'm not going to do that. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was originally happy in his heart, but after listening to Zhang Jingyi's words at this time, he thought that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why is this?" ”

Zhang Jing said: "The minister wants to go back to Liaodong, go to Lushun, and guard Liaodong for His Majesty with peace of mind." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said in surprise: "What, is it because of the rumors outside?" Could it be that Zhang Qing thinks that I am afraid that you will be the master? ”

Zhang Jingyi still shook his head and said seriously: "Today, my internal and external troubles have been slightly alleviated, and other problems need to be solved, but it will take time after all." The minister is thinking...... For example, today has reached this point, and the new deal has been implemented, but now that the new deal has arrived, what should we do next? In fact, the minister didn't think about it, not only did the minister not think about it, but he couldn't even guess how far Daming would go. ”

"It is said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, which was wrong in the past, because in the past, the Ming Dynasty was seriously ill, and he had to take strong medicine, but he blindly took strong medicine, but it didn't work. So the minister thought about it, but it was better to ...... The minister is His Majesty, but also for the world, just do the last bit of effort, the minister went to Liaodong, changed course, according to the situation in Liaodong, continue to implement the new policy, if something goes wrong, the problem is only in Liaodong, and it will not harm the world. But if the next new policy benefits a lot, I can follow up with the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be good? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jing looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse with blazing eyes, and then said: "The minister is in Liaodong, he is the vanguard, good and bad, and it can also make the people of the world see it at a glance!" His Majesty is in the capital...... According to the situation, he has slowly tried to plan a new policy. ”
