Zhu Di took over the charter.

In this regard, Zhu Di showed a caution that others did not have.

He sat upright, looked at it carefully, sometimes frowned, and said for a long time: "Only three things? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, Liu Bang entered the customs, and there are three chapters of the law, in the eyes of the minister, many things don't have to be long!" A lot of times, just two or three things are enough. ”

Zhu Di bowed: "The county school is changed to a public school, and the students are recruited from among the local scholars, and the talented people in the states and counties are recruited to take the examination. ”

Zhu Di immediately glanced at Zhang Anshi.

Xie Jinren and others, when they heard this, everyone was numb.

This not only abolished the county school as a guarantee for students, but also turned it into an enlightened school for people to study, and even the source of this teacher, Zhang Anshi has already thought clearly, and he actually came to a township test to enter the qualifications.

If Xiucai wants to continue the imperial examination, he must first teach for two years, which means that the problem of a large number of cheap teachers can be solved.

Zhu Di also said: "All prefectures and counties, need to count the number of children in the region, every year to conduct examinations, examination subjects, based on simple literacy and arithmetic, each prefecture and county according to the number of their students, calculate the pass rate of their students, so as to test the county school officials......"

Pass rate...... Exam ......

The people standing here are all human spirits, although there are some new concepts in it, but probably, in fact, they know the meaning in their hearts.

So Xie Jin subconsciously said: "His Royal Highness King Song, the examination is held every year, and the pass rate is used to determine the official merit examination, is it too strict?" ”

Zhang Anshi smiled, and only replied lightly: "Establish a successor." ”

As soon as these words came out, the monarchs and ministers were speechless.

When talking to smart people, you don't have to waste your tongue.

The antonym of the so-called Liyan is Lixian, which is almost a problem that has plagued the ancients for thousands of years! But in the end, Lixian was able to be finally confirmed, and was supported by the vast majority of people, naturally because, although Lixian seemed to be more beautiful on the surface, in the process of practice, everyone found that Lixian was simply a disaster.

Because the so-called virtuous is not a standard at all, a thing without a standard must have room for operation, and in the end, the so-called virtuous has become a tool for people to realize their ambitions in the temple, so that the world is in chaos.

Although it is not the best choice, it ensures the smooth continuation of the regime, and stability is the most precious thing for a dynasty.

Zhang Anshi responded with a long term, in fact, he told Xie Jin that other methods may be very moving, and even theoretically, they are better, but if there is no unified standard to measure, then in the end, it will just be reduced to waste paper and become a dead letter.

Therefore, the statistics of the pass rate, in essence, is to establish a standard, whether it is implemented in each prefecture and county, no matter how much brains are racked, the only thing the imperial court does is to use a unified yardstick to measure their effectiveness.

And this effect is the examination, according to the pass rate of students in each prefecture and county who have passed literacy and numeracy, to measure the quality of a school official.

As for how the scholars tried their best to recruit better teachers, what kind of teaching they used, how they encouraged the students to read, and even formulated their own reward methods in order to increase the pass rate, all of the above had nothing to do with the imperial court.

This means that under the unified standard, there will inevitably be people who show their talents, and in order to ensure that more people go to school and more people can pass the exam, then there will be a lot of resources in local governance that will be tilted towards education.

Zhang Anshi actually did not expect that everyone in the world could carry out education for five years, even nine years, or even more than ten years. To be honest, this is too ambitious, Zhang Anshi's goal is to strive for a certain degree of literacy, ordinary children, can carry out two or three years of education, can memorize common words, read newspapers, and can master simple calculation skills, in fact, it is already burning high incense.

As for whether these people are farming, working, or even because of their good grades, they get subsidies from the government, and then enter various universities for further study, Zhang Anshi does not care, because he only believes that large-scale literacy eradication will definitely lead to quantitative changes and qualitative changes.

Even if only one of the hundred people becomes a talent, the benefits to the world are immeasurable.

What's more, large-scale literacy eradication means that once these people who can master arithmetic and read and write enter the labor market, the impetus for the world will be huge.

The Celestial Empire has a large population, but the population is not the driving force for the development of society, talent is, without large-scale education, many people are illiterate, confused, and can only engage in the simplest work, and once such a low labor efficiency model is broken because of natural disasters, the huge population will not only become a blessing, but also become the source of chaos.

But Zhu Di was thoughtful, he obviously realized that this was the lowest cost, but it could be used to educate the people of the world.

But the problem is that a large number of talents are used......

Zhu Di did not immediately promise Zhang Anshi, but twisted his eyebrows and thought deeply, and then stared at Zhang Anshi and said: "Use Xiucai to teach the world's schoolchildren, if these Xiucai are resentful, wouldn't it be bad for people's hearts?" ”

As an emperor, Zhu Di thinks more about the long-term and the overall situation.

Zhang Anshi also understood Zhu Di's worries, but smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks otherwise, although there will be people who complain, but the minister thinks that people's words and deeds are definitely not only influenced by the teacher, but more in combination with their own life experience, as well as their own situation, what they see and hear when they grow up!" Most of these schoolchildren are poor, and their parents are hard-working, how can they breed him because of a few complaints from the talents? ”

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, after they can read and write, they will be able to read newspapers and take 10,000 steps back. ”

Zhang Anshi's words can be said to be to the point, Zhu Di's face softened when he heard it, and then he said: "This second article is to extend the new policy to all prefectures and counties in the world...... It's just that if you want to implement the world, you will inevitably need a large number of scribes, how should this be properly handled? ”

Zhang Anshi was obviously prepared, and immediately said: "In the past, the imperial court only appointed a few parent officials, hoping to be able to govern a county, but now in Zhili and other places, in fact, the new policy has begun to be implemented, and it is actually necessary to implement the world. In addition, on the side of the military officials, there are more than 7,600 people in the model battalion who have retired this year, which can also be used as a supplement...... The lieutenants in the model battalion can read and hyphenate and are already proficient in arithmetic, so they are naturally competent ......"

Zhang Anshi thought for a while, and suddenly said: "In addition, recruiting some more should be enough." ”

Zhu Di listened, nodded, and then seemed to think of something again, and then said: "How much food do you need?" ”

"It's hard to say." Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di's face before he said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the accounts cannot be calculated like this, and the expenditure is the expenditure, but the benefits after the implementation of the new policy are immeasurable." Please ask the household department to convert a number, and the minister is optimistic about this. ”

Zhu Di expressed his approval, lowered his head and glanced at the charter again, and said: "This third article, the Tan people are allowed to land ashore, distribute land, and allow them to go to the sea to fish, this is ...... It's easy to ......."

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "There are so many people in the world, although the meritorious person this time is only one of the Tan people, but the most bitter person in the world is none other than the Tan people." After all, it will take time for the new policies in the world to be implemented, and if the people of the world see that the situation of the people can be greatly improved, it is equivalent to taking a reassuring pill. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "In addition, the minister thinks that the land in the world, after all, is limited, with unlimited manpower, if it is allowed to leave the countryside, over time, then relying on these barren land, how can we feed the millions of people in the world, this is some of the restrictions made by Emperor Taizu Gao...... Whether ......"

"Ahem......" Zhu Di coughed, reminding Zhang Anshi to silence, and his eyes swept away.

Xie Jin immediately understood, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty...... During the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, there was indeed a law that the people were not allowed to leave the countryside without permission, but ...... If the minister remembers well, this edict was promulgated and implemented in the seventh year of Hongwu, but in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Jingchu was catastrophic, and Emperor Taizu Gao had another decree to allow the local people to travel far away to avoid the disaster. It can be seen from this that in the laws of Emperor Taizu Gao, it is flexible and changeable, and Emperor Taizu is such a heroic lord, opening up my great Ming foundation and covering all generations, therefore, the minister thinks that His Majesty should also follow the example of Emperor Taizu Gao......"

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well, I have always been grateful to Emperor Taizu Gao, and today Xie Qing mentioned that in this world, who is more knowledgeable than Xie Qing?" So Xie Qing will talk about it, what do I want to follow Emperor Taizu Gao? ”

Xie Jin Zhengse said: "Emperor Taizu Gao's governance is flexible and changeable, it is said that this must not leave the country without permission, but there is also a matter of urgency to follow the power, it can be seen that Taizu's ancestral system, its emphasis is flexible, not confined to a paper edict, but to the common people as the mind, at any time to improve, never because of the same dynasties and dynasties of the faint monarchs, just for the so-called' His Majesty succeeded the will of Emperor Taizu Gao, and he should also emulate the words and deeds of Emperor Taizu Gao, not sticking to one pattern, so as to respect the ancestors of heaven and law, and make a life for the common people. ”

Zhu Di listened, nodded again and again, looked at Xie Jin with appreciation, and said: "Xie Qing's words, so that I have been empowered, yes, yes, yes, what I have taken is the essence of the law of the ancestors, only flexible and changeable, can we deal with today's chaotic situation, Xie Qing is well-versed in the past and the present, and understands the righteousness, so, this time...... The edict promulgating the new policy of the world was drafted and polished by Xie Qing. ”

Xie Jin said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Zhu Di let out a long breath at this time, and it seemed that his face was much better because he had solved a matter.

At this time, he looked at Xie Jin and said, "Xie Qing's son, are you still in Java?" ”

"Yes."

Zhu Di said: "Go back to Jishui's hometown, they have been wandering outside for a long time, and it is time to go home." ”

This is a bit sudden, but it seems to make sense.

Xie Jin thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, your ...... Also follow the example of Emperor Taizu Gao, take its flexible essence, such as today's pattern has been updated, how can the minister buck the trend? The minister thinks that there is nothing wrong with Java, and the minister's sons, staying in Java, can not only assist King Zhao, but also serve as the Ming Dynasty, why not? ”

His words made Zhu Di also awe-inspired.

Zhu Di always thought that Xie Jin wanted the family to return to his hometown, but he didn't expect it to ......

Hu Guang was even more relieved of Jin's words, and his blood was boiling, and for a while he had the urge to pack up his children and send them to sea.

Only Zhang Anshi's face was expressionless, he knew a little better than others, he knew that Xie Jin had pitted his fellow villagers in Jishui miserably, and if he jumped back to his hometown in Jishui at this time, he was afraid that the ancestral grave would be dug up, and he was afraid that the Xie family would not resist the beating!

But Zhu Di, who obviously didn't know the reason, said with emotion at this time: "Xie Qing is a loyal minister." ”

After some emotion, in the end, his eyes fell on Xia Xuan, who entered the palace with Zhang Anshi.

Seeing that Xia Xuan was young, he was in a good mood at this time, and he was a little curious for a while, so he said, "Who is this?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "It is the post man who entered Beijing this time, and this time he is the political envoy in Fujian, and his contribution is not small." ”

Zhu Di saw that the post guard in front of him was quite extraordinary, so he became interested and asked about the details of the counterinsurgency.

Xia Xuan was also bold, and even said it vividly.

Hearing that the Great Song Emperor was here, Zhu Di laughed heartily and said, "The Great Song Emperor...... Ha ha...... These thieves also dare to be crowned by monkeys. ”

However, when Zhang Anshi heard Emperor Song's words, his body was also tense, and he was a little nervous.

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi with some feelings, and said, "Zhang Qing, I canonized you as the King of Song, but there is an Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty here, and they are still with you." ”

Zhang Anshi only felt very heartbroken, gritted his teeth and said: "These thieves must be doing this on purpose because they hate their ministers!" Such thieves are so scheming and cunning that they are eager to eat their flesh. ”

Zhu Di stroked his beard and actually said: "Okay, I will satisfy you, and when these traitors are escorted into Beijing, I will give them to Zhang Qing, and Zhang Qing will eat their flesh to relieve their hatred." ”

"Ah...... This ......" Zhang Anshi was a little stunned, his face stiffened and said: "Forget it, forget it, the minister is joking." ”

Zhu Di smiled and tapped him with his hand and said, "You, you ......"

"This ...... This ......"

At this time, Xia Xuan said: "Your Majesty, I think that His Royal Highness the King of Song is ...... Truly brave and faithful......"

Zhu Di became interested and asked Xia Xuan, "Why is this?" ”

Xia Xuan said solemnly: "Emperor Taizu Gao, what he is talking about is flexibility, Your Majesty is a filial son, and he is also flexible and changeable, His Royal Highness King Song is a loyal minister, and he also follows His Majesty all the time, and even these have been imitated, isn't this brave and loyal?" ”

All of a sudden, the sky was talked to death.

The hall was surprisingly quiet, and no one spoke.

Xia Xuan still has a clear look on his face, which makes people unable to tell for a while whether this guy is really stupid or sarcastic.

Zhu Di was silent for a moment before he said, "What's your name?" ”

Xia Xuan said: "Humble Xia Xuan." ”

As soon as the word Xia Xuan came out, it attracted the attention of Xie Jin and others.

When Xia Yuanji was in the early years of the Jianwen Dynasty and Yongle, Xie Jin, Yang Rong, Hu Guang, Jin Youzi, etc., because they were the younger generations, were not less taken care of by Xia Yuanji, especially Hu Guang and Yang Rong, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have a good family.

This Xia Xuan, they have actually seen it, but at that time, Xia Xuan was still young, and this time Xia Xuan went to the Fujian Political Envoy Division, due to the sun and rain, his appearance has changed a lot, even if he only feels vaguely familiar, but he would not have thought that this person standing in front of the emperor is the son of the old man.

But now he calls himself Xia Xuan, and now he takes a closer look at his facial features, and suddenly, he seems to understand something.

Hu Guang was the first to hold back and said, "Your Majesty, this son ...... He is the son of Xia Gong. ”

"Which Xia Gong ......" Seeing Hu Guang's surprised reaction, Zhu Di was full of suspicion.

Hu Guang immediately said: "The prince ...... Taibao"

When these four concise and clear words came out, Zhu Di suddenly realized, and then subconsciously looked at Xia Xuan and said, "Since you are Xia Qing's son, why did you become a post guard?" ”

Xia Xuan said very calmly: "My father was stubborn, he quarreled with him, left home in a bad mood, and heard that there was something to be done in the postal department, so he went in a daze." ”

But apparently, his answer made the kings and ministers laugh.

Zhu Di didn't laugh, but smiled and said, "You are honest, better than your father." ”

Xia Xuan said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Being humble is not honest, but I just don't dare to hide it." ”

Zhu Di bowed his head, his eyes showed appreciation, and said: "You and the volunteers have done a lot of work to quell the rebellion, and I will order the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War to recount the merits for you......"

After that, Zhu Di glanced at Xia Xuan, who was in the dust, and what he was wearing was the green clothes of an ordinary post man, but he was tired of saddle horses all the way, and it was a little broken.

Immediately, Zhu Di said: "It's also lost." ”

Yizha on the side immediately said: "The slave is here." ”

"Give him a flying fish suit first, how can such a hero teach him to be so shabby? The world wants to make fun of it. ”

Yisha smiled, but he already understood what Zhu Di meant.

In fact, Xie Jin and others have also understood this meaning.

Theoretically speaking, the imperial court did not have official uniforms, or, generally, the officials who were awarded official uniforms purchased their own official uniforms.

But there is a situation, but it is exceptional and special, but the palace often gives clothes to close ministers or courtiers who have made contributions, but there is a strict distinction between the clothes given, there are python clothes given by Qin, there are unicorn clothes given by Qin, and fish clothes, tiger clothes, leopard clothes and so on.
