"From today onwards, all officials above the third grade in the Ming Dynasty must enter the Royal Academy of Management for at least one month of official refresher courses, and all officials above the second grade in the Ming Dynasty must enter the Royal Academy of Sciences for at least two months of official refresher courses, to integrate the new learning into the minds of all officials above the court, do not mention the new learning and say that it has nothing to do with themselves..."

Zhu Youzhen's words were deafening, and in the Dongnuan Pavilion, he summoned officials at or above the level of the Ministry of Officials alone.

He wants to give everyone a new literacy education, an ideological education, a popularization of history and geography training, in fact, this kind of training is not too difficult, you must know that the Ming Royal Academy of Management has a perfect system to organize this kind of short-term refresher course.

"In addition, in the next five-year plan, it must be clearly written, I support all local states and counties to carry out the planning of graduate schools within the scope of their capabilities, but at present, only the provincial government is allowed to plan, and it also needs to be submitted to the Daming Development Planning Agency for approval..."

"Priority will be given to starting a small-scale pilot of a new type of official appointment examination in Shandong and Zhili, as long as you can read and write, and have the intention to contribute to the country and the people, then you can obtain a place for officials within the provincial government through this small examination organized by the provincial government."

Zhu Youzhen's system actually refers to the provincial examination system of later generations, after all, for the vast Ming Dynasty.

It is impossible for the imperial court to devote a lot of energy in any case.

It is obviously unrealistic to audit the officials of each local state and county.

And those who were in the first batch or in the first few batches of scholars who studied at the graduate school.

It is obviously already a baby bump that Zhu Youzhen thinks is in his hands.

It's okay to give it a place to temper it, but if you really take people away.

It is estimated that Zhu Youzhen can issue a holy decree overnight to bring people back to Beijing.

This format is similar to the provincial exam, and the conditions for registering for the exam are extremely relaxed.

As long as you are at least 16 years old, as long as you have no obvious disability that is in the way, this exam will be open to the whole of Daming, regardless of your status, regardless of your status.

As long as he is willing to serve the country, as long as he expresses his willingness to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, contribute to the development of the Ming Dynasty, and contribute to the revitalization of the local area, then Zhu Youzhen will allow him to participate in the recruitment of local officials.

And although the examinations are set up in various provincial capitals, the power of recruitment and examination is still firmly in the hands of the imperial court.

For this reason, Zhu Youzhen specifically asked the officials to reorganize the branches that were also scattered throughout the country.

It's just that the first batch is a pilot relationship, and it only needs to be understood in Shandong and Zhili.

And local state officials can't specify that they want a particular person.

Instead, they must first report to the branches of the ministry stationed in various places, make an application, say the conditions they want to be officials, and then release them to the outside world after review.

This time the recruitment examination point has become the first time that Zhu Youzhen has expanded the form of appointing officials in local provincial governments, not only for the selection of the imperial court, but also through his own efforts, he can take the examination in various provincial governments and become officials.

Of course, there are also strict regulations on the papers of the official examination.

The content of the traditional culture course will be retained, but a lot of new knowledge will be added.

The aim was to stimulate the enthusiasm of all the people to learn new studies, and at the same time to encourage local provincial officials to include the establishment of their own provincial universities.

And Zhu Youzhen is not worried that after the introduction of this examination, no one will participate in the cold, after all, he directly bypassed the heavy imperial examination of merit and fame, and directly stepped into the ranks of officials, and entered the most noble merit system of the people in the huge Ming Empire.

Be able to become an official.

This is already the envy of many people.

What's more, this exam directly breaks down all possible barriers in a certain sense.

No matter what kind of family you come from, from now on you can go to such a recruitment examination, and enter the official system through the recruitment examination, and Zhu Youzhen has already determined, although in principle, the scholars who enter the official system through this type of examination.

Compared with the scholars who have received a new type of graduate education, the starting point is lower, but as long as they can take the revitalization of the Ming Dynasty as their own responsibility and be guided by loyalty and patriotism.

Mr. Zhu doesn't mind giving them a step to a high-ranking state official.

....

"Zhili official school! Zhili Government School starts recruiting students today! ”

"All children under the age of 12 can go to school!"

"All juveniles over the age of 12 who are minors can choose whether to enter secondary school or primary school!"

"It doesn't cost a penny to go to school! All government schools are free! ”

Teenagers walking the streets and alleys are waving leaflets distributed by the Naoli Yamen, which detail the opening of the official school in the Naoli area and various policies and regulations, the most important of which is that the Naoli official school is free to study.

Not only can you learn new knowledge that can only be learned by big people in the official school.

The most important thing is that as long as you enter the government school, then you can enjoy a certain tax deduction with your child's name on the roster of the local yamen, of course, considering that not all people have the opportunity to pay commercial taxes.

This relief will cover agricultural taxes collected by the Household Department, but will be paid directly by HMRC.

In a private house in the countryside of Zhili.

Wang Meng is holding the "New Concept Primary School Mathematics" in his hand and watching it with relish.

As a mathematical enlightenment type of book, Zhu Youzhen also specially subsidized it by the imperial court, and through the same printing technology as Huangming Daily, it was printed and sold in large quantities while reducing costs.

This makes it affordable for children from poor families like Wang Meng.

In the distance, a little boy with bare feet rushed towards Wang Meng.

"Wang Meng! Wang meng! Did you hear that? The official school is free from today, and new knowledge will be taught, so you can go to the book."

Wang Meng, who is only eleven years old this year, has a calmness that is rare among his peers.

With a slight sigh, he closed the page in his hand.

"Where did you hear the news, and besides, Wang's mother is not in good health, and Wang still needs to serve at home, how can you have time to go to school? Don't make me happy.."

And the little friends who came in a hurry didn't believe it when they saw Wang Meng.

He was also in a hurry, but he didn't know how to explain to Wang Meng when he was young, so he just took Wang Meng's hand and ran to the street.

"You'll understand when you get there! Come with me! ”
