"The most direct way to attach importance to the cultivation of talents is to vigorously run schools in all state capitals, counties and counties across the country." Song Lian said, "We didn't have enough talent training in the past, for example, this time in Southwest Enke, only more than 1,000 reference students came." ”

"And it was still Tongsheng and Xiucai who came together, and only made up more than 1,000 people, which shows how lacking there are readers in the southwest." Shi Nai'an said, "You must know that the population of the three southwestern provinces is currently as high as 10 million, which is indeed too small. ”

"If we want to vigorously run the school, we need to send teachers to come and give education to local schoolchildren." Gao Qi said, "However, there is no one in the current Hanlin Academy, and it is impossible to transfer manpower to support the school." ”

"Didn't we just give you the one hundred and eighty shows in the southwest to the Hanlin Academy, how can you say that there is no one in the Hanlin Academy?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty, they haven't been naturalized in the Hanlin Academy, and some of them haven't even seen the threshold of the Hanlin Academy. Could it be that before they have even sat on the bench, His Majesty is going to transfer them away? Gao Qi was dumbfounded.

"Who said they were gone?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Transfer your 'old men' from the Hanlin Academy to all parts of the country to support the running of schools, so that the new talents can take over their original positions." ”

"Your Majesty, the one hundred and eighty to the southwest Xiucai, all of them are new, and they are just showmen." Hearing this, Gao Qi stopped doing it and said.

In the past, the people in the Hanlin Academy were at least famous as scholars, but the newcomers were all talents, and they didn't even lift people. But all those who have made meritorious contributions have been sent by the emperor to the mountains and the countryside.

Moreover, the old people in the past are all familiar with the business, and the new Xiucai doesn't know anything, so he needs to be taught from scratch.

The most important thing is that the emperor transferred all the old people from the Hanlin Academy and replaced them with a group of 180 newcomers.

It was simply that all the lower floors of the Hanlin Academy were replaced, leaving only a few of their high-level leaders.

This has to make people suspect that Emperor Zhu wants to set up the Hanlin Academy.

In the past, the Hanlin Academy was all their people, but now it has all been replaced by southwest.

This often happens when seizing military power.

A general's military power is too great, and it is difficult for the emperor to seize it openly. will first replace his subordinates with people loyal to the emperor, and step by step empty the general's military power.

The final blow was made to take it down, and the general could not rebel because the people under his command were replaced.

Thinking of this, several Qingliu civil officials of the Hanlin Academy couldn't help but sweat on their bodies.

"What, you look down on Xiucai's fame?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "In terms of the current situation, if you have a show for you to use, you should burn high incense." ”

"Your Majesty, you must use skilled hands to compile the history of the Yuan Dynasty, and Confucian scholars with a relatively high level, only they are more familiar with the historical materials of the Yuan Dynasty, and the level is higher."

"If the newcomer Xiucai participates in the compilation of the Yuan History, not only is he not familiar with the historical materials, but his level is not enough when compiling." Song Lian said, "The compilation of the history books of the previous dynasty is the top priority for the new dynasty, and only the complete compilation of the history books of the old dynasty can reflect the completion of the replacement of the new dynasty." ”

"And if there are mistakes and omissions in the history books, or if the language is not understood, it will become a joke for future generations."

"It's not that important to edit the Yuan History." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "It doesn't hurt to keep a history book of the former dynasty and compile it after a few years." ”

"What we urgently need to solve now is the problem of lack of talent. The compilation of the Yuan history is just for learning, and the current national economy and people's livelihood are the top priority. ”

"Minister, obey!" Song Lian sighed, "Now in the Ming Dynasty, even the readers who edit the history books of the previous dynasties can't squeeze out. ”

"The level of talent shortage is truly shocking!"

At the same time, several people also put their minds at ease, Emperor Zhu even suspended the compilation of the Yuan History, and only wanted to cultivate talents, and it seemed that he had no interest in setting up the Hanlin Academy. His purpose is just to develop more talents.

But in this way, they are tired, and they have to teach a group of Xiucai to be familiar with the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, and they teach them from scratch.

It's like taking an apprentice, tired.

Even if you take an apprentice, you used to bring Jinshi, and you can teach it. And now it's taking more effort to show talents.

I used to be a college graduate, but now I am a high school graduate.

……

"In addition, the problem of lack of craftsmen can also be solved by the household department." Hu Weiyong stepped forward and said, "For example, let the familiar hands of the former Ordnance Bureau and the Gunpowder Bureau come out as teachers to teach some newcomers craft production techniques. ”

"Not bad. Skilled craftsmen were also extremely important to the imperial court. Zhu Yuanzhang said. From the body of the 'ghost hand' Wang Huaigu, he has already seen the importance of skilled workers to the country, "Shan Anren, you can do it after you go down." ”

"In addition to cultivating craftsmen in steelmaking, casting, etc., craftsmen from all walks of life should be trained, and several more 'craftsman training courses' should be established across the country."

"Even vigorously opened vocational and technical education, textile, smelting, porcelain firing...... Cover everything. ”

"Especially in agriculture, special education should be carried out, after all, the new territory of the Ming Dynasty also needs to send agricultural experts to the past."

Although there is no clear concept of creating a vocational and technical college and an agricultural university, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang already has the idea of Mohu in his heart.

"Minister, obey the order." An Ren, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, said, "However, the training of craftsmen belongs to the household department. The training of agricultural technicians should not be under the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry, right? ”

The current Ministry of Engineering is also very busy, and he is not willing to take on more tasks.

"It is true that agriculture does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry." Zhu Yuanzhang pondered when he heard this, with the rapid development of the Ming Dynasty, the previous six-part system of Zhongshu Province was obviously a little inadequate, and its drawbacks gradually appeared.

However, he couldn't think of a good way for a while, and said: "The matter of training agricultural personnel will be handed over to the household department." ”

"Your Majesty, the household department is also very busy." Lu Chang stood up and said, "The population of the southwest is developing rapidly, and the problems of household registration and acres are many and complicated. There is also the tax revenue of the new Ministry of Commerce, which also needs to be approved by someone, and the Ministry of Household is also busy every day. ”

"It seems that none of you want to take on the task of training agricultural technicians?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty, it's not that we refuse to take it, it's that we don't have enough manpower and energy." The ministers said.

"Do you want us to set up another Ministry of Agriculture?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"I think it's feasible." Li Shanchang said, "In addition to the six ministries, hasn't Your Majesty already established a Ministry of Commerce and a Ministry of Land?" The previous six have existed in name only, and have become eight. ”

"If you add a Ministry of Agriculture, it is also logical."

"This matter can be discussed later, and the matter of cultivating agricultural talents will be handed over to the household department first. Lu Chang, we don't care if you have the energy or not, let's take this matter down first. Zhu Yuanzhang said.
