When Song Ping heard this, his angry beard turned sparkling: "Hu Shilang, how can you be so arrogant?" ”

"If you enter the official without the imperial examination, you will be ridiculous in the world!"

"Not to mention the illiterate peasants!"

"Let the peasants be officials, what kind of system will it become?"

Seeing this, some officials of the Ministry of Rites also stood up to support Song Ping.

"Hu Shilang, this is not in line with etiquette! The Ming Dynasty has been admitted to the government by imperial examination for so many years, how can it change the system of the ancestors and let the peasants become officials? ”

"Hu Shilang, next time you must not have similar thoughts, this is a big mistake against the ancestral system!"

However, in the face of everyone's accusations, Hu Changan remained unmoved: "Everyone, what I said seems to be correct!" ”

"Don't farmers know how to farm better than scholars?"

"Why do I select agricultural officials not directly from the peasants, but choose those literati who have never planted a single acre of land?"

"Only farmers know how to select and breed seeds, and how to get good fields!"

"And in the Yuan Dynasty, isn't there a precedent for craftsmen to be officials?"

"As long as the craftsmanship is good, you can also be reused by the court like a scholar."

The palace suddenly quarreled.

Some officials who know how to be flexible are thinking carefully about the feasibility of Hu Changan's words.

On the other hand, some pedantic officials vowed to maintain the dignity of the people.

They would rather die than have the peasants on an equal footing with them.

Under the siege of everyone, Hu Chang'an fought against the Confucianism and did not fall behind at all.

Just when everyone's quarrel was getting better, a loud shout interrupted everyone's quarrel.

This shout came from the eunuch beside Zhu Biao.

When everyone heard this, they immediately shut their mouths obediently.

There was a lot of noise, and everyone almost forgot that this is a dignified East Palace, not a vegetable market!

Seeing that everyone obediently walked back to their original positions, Zhu Biao also coughed lightly, putting an end to this controversy: "Since Zhong Aiqing is arguing so hotly, why don't you just try it?" ”

"Anyway, the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture is also a big deal, and there is no rush for a moment."

"At the moment, we don't have a lot of potatoes on hand, and we don't have enough to distribute them to the local area."

"This potato needs to be planted for another three or five crops before it can be devolved to the local area and planted by farmers."

"The Ministry of Agriculture, to say the least, will take another year or two before it can play an effective role."

"Lone suggested, why don't Hu Aiqing and Song Aiqing each form a team according to their own ideas?"

"When the time comes, it's up to us to see who gets more high-yielding plants, and then how about making a decision?"

Zhu Biao's move is also a reference to Hu Changan's previous pilot method.

Since you can't tell the difference between the superior and the inferior verbally, won't it be clear to everyone when you practice it?

Although Zhu Biao is more inclined to the ideas of the old minister Song Ping, deep down, he also has some agreement with Hu Changan's ideas.

Although it is not compatible with the ancestral system, maybe directly employing peasants as officials can really give the officialdom a new look?

Anyway, it's still a long time, and there's no rush for a while.

When the people heard this, they had no objections.

Of course, most people on the field are not very optimistic about Hu Changan.

A hairy boy dares to challenge the thousand-year-old tradition of electing officials?

It's ridiculous!

The matter was thus put to an end for the time being.

Zhu Biao paused, and then took out a previous topic and said: "Zhong Aiqing, in the early dynasty, Qin Tianjian predicted that there would be a big cold this winter, I don't know if you can deal with it?" ”

In ancient times, Qin Tianjian was not a place full of gods and sticks, and only divination of bad fortune.

The functions of Qin Tianjian are very wide, not only can pretend to be ghosts, but also can predict the weather, compile solar terms, calculate the calendar, etc., quite a bit of the meaning of a weather station in later generations.

Zhang Heng, who invented the geodynamic instrument in the Western Han Dynasty, Li Chunfeng, a famous mathematician in the Tang Dynasty, and Shen Kuo, who compiled the "Mengxi Writings" in the Northern Song Dynasty, were all from Qin Tianjian.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was naturally also the Qin Tianjian.

Although Qin Tianjian's prediction of the weather is not as accurate as that of later generations, it is still somewhat reasonable, at least the general direction can be accurately grasped.

Suddenly, everyone put forward their own opinions.

"The minister thinks that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division can be organized to patrol regularly to provide timely treatment to the displaced people on the roadside."

"The minister thought that he could mobilize cold-proof materials in advance, and in the event of a great cold, he could immediately send the materials to the affected people in the city."

Hu Changan also frowned when he listened to everyone's discussions.

It seems that the Xiaoice period of the Ming Dynasty is gradually taking shape.

The Xiaoice River period in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties can be said to be famous in history.

Legend has it that at the coldest time, even Guangzhou, which is located in the south, is covered with snow in winter, let alone in Shandong, Henan and other places in the north.

It is said that the snow is one or two meters, and that is the norm.

The sudden cooling has led to a shortage of cold materials on the market, and many people even wrap themselves in straw mats because they can't buy winter clothes.

It seems that it's time to come up with honeycomb coal and cotton!

These two things are artifacts that keep out the cold in ancient winters!

Needless to say, the combustion efficiency of honeycomb coal is much higher than that of charcoal currently on the market.

Hu Changan decided that this winter, vigorously promote honeycomb coal!

Of course, Hu Changan also wants to promote cotton, but now he has missed the cotton sowing season.

The cotton exchanged in the system can only produce one or two pieces of clothing at most.

It's okay to give it to Zhu Yuanzhang to try it, but if you want to talk about large-scale promotion, you can only wait until next year.

Set a small goal for winter, Hu Changan was full of fighting spirit and broke up with the others.

Of course, the more important thing at the moment is to clean up the bastards in the Ministry of Works.

Now that he has obtained the handwritten letter from His Royal Highness the Prince, Hu Changan will be able to let go of his hands and feet happily in the future.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hu Changan rode his horse and galloped towards the Ministry of Industry.

In the Ministry of Industry, Hu Chang'an and Xue Xiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, designated a set of extremely detailed rewards and punishments.

Of course, Hu Changan only announced incentives to the craftsmen at first.

Hu Changan felt that the current atmosphere of the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry was too bad, and he had to make an example of the chickens.

Anyway, it has been written in the prince's handwriting, and if necessary, Hu Changan can even send these craftsmen back to their hometowns!

This is even more humiliating for those craftsmen than killing them.

Just imagine, I thought that I could be selected for the Ministry of Industry for generations, but I didn't expect to be sent back to my hometown in a few years.

It's a shame to say this kind of thing.

Of course, Hu Changan did not pity these craftsmen.

If you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back.

Hu Changan decided that if the incentives could motivate these craftsmen, it would be the best.

But if the incentive does not move, there will naturally be a big punishment waiting for it.
