Chapter 148 Selection of Officials, Competitive Recruitment for Posts

"Have we ever been beaten?" Zhu Di is worthy of being an emperor, and he heard the voice outside the words.

Zhu Gaoxian looked at his father's firm eyes and nodded solemnly, "It's miserable, a hundred years of humiliation, Dad, at the moment, our Ming Dynasty is still the most powerful and top country in the world, but soon, we will fall behind." Didn't my son tell you? Later, a nation called the savage Jurchens, now they are still huddled between the white waters of Black Mountain, and later, when the Ming Dynasty gradually fell behind, they became stronger, and entered the Shanhaiguan to occupy our country. ”

"Maybe it's because of the Yi people, they don't have self-confidence, they close themselves to the country, the first Opium War started, the humiliating treaty of betrayal was signed, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded, and then ......" Zhu Gaoxian closed his eyes, "The Japanese invaded the island country later called Japan, for a hundred years, this country, this land is full of holes, if it weren't for a generation of great men born out of nowhere, no one knows what the final result will be." ”

"A hundred years?" Zhu Di muttered, he couldn't imagine how difficult a country would struggle to be pressed to the ground by foreign enemies for a hundred years.

"This is why you say that a scholar should not be loyal to the king alone, but to a country and a land?"

"Dad, everyone says long live the emperor, from ancient times to the present, so that in the future, it will be difficult to live for a hundred years, let alone a thousand years long live. But this land will last forever, our children and grandchildren will live on this land, this is our homeland, only if each of us works hard for her, far beyond other countries, will our children and grandchildren live with dignity and not be bullied. ”

Zhu Di took a deep breath, at this moment, he no longer doubted what his son said before, "a dream for ten thousand years", such a strange thing, he also believed that only his father could do it, he was thinking, where did his father finally know that it was a wrong thing to choose Zhu Yunwen as the prince, so he had to use his younger son to set things right.

"However, to increase the two disciplines of mathematics and science and technology, it is necessary to take it step by step, first of all, the state must have the financial resources to make education as popular as possible, so that how to increase income, the idea of the son, first, to realize the integration of officials and gentry as an errand and pay for food, and secondly, to develop industry and commerce, and increase taxes."

Zhu Gaoxian said, "What the imperial grandfather meant, it was a wrong national policy to classify and determine the nationality of the common people, and the imperial grandfather said that let my father find a way to change this." ”

Zhu Di took a deep look at his youngest son, he knew very well that if he wanted to implement his son's policies, the registration system would indeed no longer be suitable, but whether this was his father's intention or the younger son's meaning, Zhu Di still understood.

He glanced at his son angrily, "Then tell me, how to change it?" ”

"If a system is suitable, the court only needs a little guidance to implement it, if it is not suitable, the government needs to spend a lot of effort and energy to focus on the implementation, which is harmful to the court and the people." Zhu Gaoxian smiled and said, "Dad, you say, is it okay to change?" ”

Zhu Di naturally understood, he glanced at his son, seeing that the time was not early, he could survive, but his son couldn't survive when he was growing his body, so he asked directly, "Didn't you say that you want to have an appointment system?" How? ”

"Dad, the officials of the six departments are naturally appointed by you, and the inspectors must also be selected and appointed by you, these sons will not say, what the son wants to say is that those officials of the six departments, every position must do those things, it is best to draw up a list of things, when the six departments recruit officials, you can carry out a competitive recruitment system, for example, the post of the head of the ministry is from the sixth grade, and when the open selection is made, but from the sixth grade, the seventh grade, or you can expand the scope of registration, from the seventh grade can also participate in the registration and participate in the electionfrom among them will be selected for admission. “

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, in this way, there is another advantage, avoiding the formation of a party formed by raising officials.

Zhu Di's fingers curled slightly, gently tapping on the table, he pondered for a long time, digesting this information, for a long time, he nodded, "These, you draw up a detailed rule, dad will do it!" ”

"Good!" When Zhu Gaoxian saw his father standing up, he was also sleepy, yawned, and the dog came in to serve him to bathe and sleep.

The palace was cleaned up for three days and three nights, and all the palace people who had served Zhu Yunwen were cleared, leaving only a small number of marginal people and people who had not been in contact with the center of power to serve.

Zhu Gaoxian was lying on the bed, and when he fell asleep, his father was still lighting candles and was diligent in political affairs, he couldn't help but turn over, being the emperor worked so hard, is it really suitable for him?

The news of Zhu Di's accession to the throne soon spread to every corner of the Ming Dynasty with the promulgation of the edict of the enthronement, and the ships that picked up the Xu family had also gone upriver and arrived at the Tonghui River Caoyun Wharf.

However, there was no intention for Zhu Gaochi's family to go north together.

Zhang's couldn't help but panic, she hugged her son to see Xu's, and shouted, "Mother, daughter-in-law thought that my father would let my daughter-in-law go south with Ji'er to serve her mother." ”

Xu looked at Zhang, she folded the clothes she made for her youngest son one by one, "Beiping City is where we started, your father and I have lived here for twenty-two years, to be honest, now let me go to Yingtianfu, I am not used to it, this time, I don't know if there will be a chance to come back in this life." ”

"Although your father didn't say it explicitly, Beiping can't be lost, the eldest is the eldest son, and it's best for him to stay here for the time being. The emperor has just ascended the throne, and there are many affairs in the DPRK and China, so you can't take care of it now, so you should share more worries about the monarch's father! ”

"Yes!" Zhang lowered her head in shame, she didn't know why she accidentally touched her son, Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth, and he started crying.

Xu Shi looked at her deeply, and did not reach out to hug her grandson as usual, but frowned and said, "Hold the child down!" See what's going on? ”

"Yes!"

Zhang also felt sorry for her son, and went out with her son in her arms, she gently rubbed the place where her son was touched, and the nurse next to her was flustered, almost knotting the belt of Xiaoyi, Zhang slapped him impatiently, "What's going on?" ”

After Zhang left, Xu called the grandmother next to him to ask, "How is the girl of the Wei family who asked you to inquire before?" ”

Mama was brought out by the Xu family from the Xu family, very shrewd, when she inquired, she also found that there was still a group of people inquiring, so she kept an eye, although she is a subordinate, but she still understands the truth of intimacy, "If you say a girl, she must be a good girl, born well, and her temperament is good, but if you follow your meaning, the door of the Wei family is still a little lower." ”
