"Yes, of course it's no problem, I'll write it to you right away." Zhu Biao casually ordered someone to bring a pen and paper and write it on the spot.

After a while, a handwritten letter from the prince with a bright yellow cover was delivered to Hu Changan.

For Hu Changan, Zhu Biao's favorability value has always been very high.

The small things of some craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry directly depend on Hu Changan.

Hu Changan took the handbook and smiled slightly.

Some people in the DPRK feel good.

With the full support of Zhu Biao, half of the emperor, what else can't be done?

Hu Changan chatted casually with Zhu Biao for a while, and then it was time for the meeting.

Hu Changan put down the tea, said goodbye to Zhu Biao, and then walked to the outside room and silently joined the team of the ministers.

Li Shanchang saw Hu Changan come out of the inner room with a smile, and his heart was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Once upon a time, the position closest to His Majesty and the crown prince was he, but he was good!

I don't know when Hu Changan, a kid, came out on top and won the blue eyes of the Zhu family.

He must completely pull Hu Changan, this kid, off the horse!

Of course, no one knows what Li Shanchang is thinking.

On the surface, he still smiled and nodded at Hu Changan.

After all, Li Shanchang had just been punished by Zhu Yuanzhang for seizing the field, and now he had to clamp his tail and be a man.

After a while, the afternoon mini-meeting began.

The focus of the discussion was mainly on the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture.

As the temporary leader of the Ministry of Agriculture, Song Ping first spoke: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it will be the triennial imperial examination soon, and the minister thinks that he can select suitable talents from the new science and technology scholars to join my Ministry of Agriculture." ”

"If there are not enough people, the minister thinks that he can also select smart and clever prisoners from the Guozi Prison and enter the Ministry of Agriculture."

Suddenly, Song Ping's words won the strong approval of the old ministers.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were only two ways to select officials.

Song Ping's words are very logical.

Seeing that almost all the ministers in the audience agreed with Song Ping's statement, Zhu Biao was also ready to agree to this matter.

However, just as Zhu Biaobei nodded and passed, a clear voice came out of the crowd: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers have different opinions. ”

It was Hu Changan who spoke.

Suddenly, curious eyes were cast towards Hu Changan.

Everyone doesn't know, how can there be room for opposition to such a convention?

Under the puzzled eyes of everyone, Hu Changan said eloquently: "Everyone, do you know what the newly established Ministry of Agriculture is used for? ”

"Of course, it's used to select high-yielding seedlings." One of the officials who was anxious was the first to answer.

Hu Changan smiled slightly, and then said: "Then these champions of the new department, have they ever planted even one acre of land?" Let them work in the Ministry of Agriculture, isn't it the head of the ox and the mouth of the horse? ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately became a little angry.

Almost all of them are from new science and technology scholars, how can they tolerate such slander?

Immediately, a young man who refused to admit defeat jumped out: "Hu Shilang, although I respect you for being a talent, you can't slander us like this!" ”

"Which of the Jinshi who just got admitted didn't learn it from scratch?"

"We don't have practical experience, but we learn so fast!"

"The way of Confucius and Mencius is the foundation of the body, and the way of Confucius and Mencius is integrated, and everything is universal."

This person's words were immediately supported by most of the officials in the palace.

In Daming, this is the mainstream thought.

Seeing this, Hu Changan sighed slightly.

It seems that nowadays, the idea of the supremacy of science and technology has not yet been popularized!

The Ministry of Agriculture is like the Ministry of Industry, not a civil department like the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, but a department that works in a down-to-earth manner.

If you let some scholars who have not even planted an acre of land manage it, then what is it?

I am afraid that the newly established Ministry of Agriculture will become a dispensable and empty department!

Hu Changan didn't allow this kind of thing to happen under his nose.

Hu Changan cleared his throat and retorted: "This colleague, you said that you can learn, but agriculture is fundamentally different from reading after all. ”

"In other civil services, it may be very beneficial to read books and be familiar with ancient and modern Chinese and foreign history, but this is not the case in the Ministry of Agriculture."

"The newly established Ministry of Agriculture wants to plant crops in the field and promote high-yield crops to the vast number of farmers!"

"Knowing how to be knowledgeable has nothing to do with whether you can grow good crops!"

"Those who are well-versed in the past may not be able to grow high-yielding crops."

"Of course, it's okay to learn from scratch."

"But it means denying all life under the imperial examination!"

"Imagine how cruel it would be for a person in his twenties to learn to grow crops from scratch!"

Suddenly, the crowd fell silent.

Among them, those scholars from poor families were particularly touched.

Many of them have their heads hanging over the beams and thorns, and the reason for struggling to take the exam is nothing more than to get rid of the days when their ancestors faced the loess with their backs to the sky.

But if you finally get into the Jinshi and tell them that you have to learn to farm from scratch?

This will definitely be a heavy blow to them.

And those scholars from high-ranking families also frowned slightly.

From childhood to adulthood, there were servants who followed them wherever they went, not to mention farming, and I am afraid that they did not even pour a cup of tea.

Let them learn how to farm from scratch? It's ridiculous.

The vast majority of people are thinking.

However, there are still those who are unconvinced: "Hu Shilang, then tell me, what should I do about this?" ”

"My Ming Dynasty's election system has always been like this!"

Although this person was also moved by Hu Changan's words, he couldn't imagine that there were other ways to select talents in addition to these two ways.

He felt that Hu Changan would never have thought of it.

The previous words were just Hu Changan's nonsense in order to attract people's attention!

However, Hu Changan was not afraid, and just smiled lightly: "The minister thinks that he can directly select large grain growers from all over the country and directly join the newly established Ministry of Agriculture." ”

What?

Everyone was shocked.

This earth-shattering sentence completely blinded everyone.

Peasants directly become officials?

Even Zhu Biao, who was high on the main seat, frowned in disapproval.

In ancient times, class thinking was very deep-rooted.

If your ancestors were farmers, then you can only be farmers for generations.

Official? Don't!

Unless you marry the prince and grandson, or pass the imperial examination, the peasant can only be a farmer, and he will not be able to turn over for the rest of his life!

Hu Changan's words are undoubtedly challenging the deep-rooted class concept engraved in everyone's minds!
