Chapter 281: Reforming the Imperial Examination

Is that what I thought?

Franco was stunned.

"Hurry up and tell me to go down, and use the seeds of this harvest to raise seedlings and sow seeds."

"But after the Akito is recycled, we don't have much left. If it is used as seeds, the natives will not have enough to eat. ”

"Think of a way, let them overcome it, just starve to death. The most important thing now is to expand the area under cultivation and to grow as many new grains as possible. Sow now, and the harvest will be in more than three months. When the time comes, we won't sell it to the Ming people, and I'm afraid that we won't have enough to eat? ”

"It's—okay."

Franco thought about it, and that was indeed the case. Since the yield of this kind of rice is high, it is necessary to increase the promotion efforts, as for the life and death of these indigenous people, there really is not much concern. Even if you are hungry, you can be honest and save trouble.

As a result, Luzon began to vigorously promote new varieties, and the few rations in the native hands were collected and forcibly replaced with other miscellaneous grains. For a time, the natives complained, but in the face of these white people who had ruled them for decades, they did not have the courage to resist at all.

Luzon's grain was recovered, Zheng Zhilong's face was saved, and another 500,000 taels of silver were sent, and the inside was also available. In this regard, Zhu Youzhen recognized the outcome of the incident and allowed him to freely dispose of the 500,000 taels of silver that he had stolen back.

A conflict that could trigger a full-scale war, disappear invisibly. The Luzon affair has come to an end for the time being.

Zhu Youzhen turned his attention to the rebellion of Pu Mingming.

"Where are the supplies sent to Qin Liangyu now?" Zhu Youzhen asked Tian Ergeng.

"I just sent back the news yesterday, saying that I had just left Chongqing Mansion, but after entering Xuzhou Mansion, the road was not easy to walk, and I am afraid that the next march will be much slower. If it's fast, it's twenty days, and if it's slow, it's estimated that it will take a month. ”

"A month, so slow."

Zhu Youzhen frowned, obviously dissatisfied with this speed.

"You let them divide their troops into two routes, let the team carrying light materials such as muskets, mines, and medicines speed up, and strive to deliver things to Qin Liangyu within twenty days."

"Yes! Your Majesty! Tian Ergeng nodded.

In the team escorting the materials this time, there were 600 Jinyi guards, led by a thousand-household official. His Majesty was very dissatisfied with the intelligence work in Yunnan, and ordered him to send people to rebuild the intelligence system.

After Tian Ergeng left, Song Yingxing came.

"Why is Song Qing here today?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to report to Your Majesty."

"Tell me about it." Zhu Youzhen was interested, he hadn't seen Song Yingxing for two or three months. He gave Song Yingxing the right to enter the palace at any time to face the saint, but Song Yingxing basically did not enter the palace if there was no major event. At this time, when I came to find myself, I am afraid that I will encounter some problems that cannot be solved.

"Your Majesty, those students have finished the elementary school curriculum."

"Done? So fast? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"It's only been more than three years?"

Zhu Youzhen originally planned to teach according to the six-year primary school system of later generations, but later thought that it was too long, so he formulated it according to the five-year system. Who knew that it would be completed in more than three years.

"Your Majesty, these children are extremely hungry for knowledge, and most of them are very hardworking, so the teachers will naturally teach faster."

Zhu Youzhen originally planned to ask these children if they could accept learning so much, but after thinking about it, with the hard work of these children, it is really nothing to learn the entire primary school curriculum in three years.

"Song Qing, what do you think if the primary school system is changed to three years?"

"I think that's enough." Song Yingxing seconded.

In his opinion, these students don't have to worry about anything, they just need to study hard in school. After completing the study, I was assigned a job, what a happy thing.

"But this will be a rush in time, the middle school has just started to be built, and it is expected to be completed next year." Zhu Youzhen fell into deep thought. "Otherwise, in a few days, we will start recruiting a group of first-year freshmen, reassign the existing freshmen, and increase the number of students in the class. In the case of dormitories, let the students squeeze in for a while, and then move them to the middle school when the middle school is completed next year. What does Song Qing think? ”

"Very good!"

Song Yingxing has no opinion, His Majesty has nothing to say about these students, there are only four people living in a dormitory now, in his opinion, let alone four, eight are available. Some students from Huangzhuang tenants can't live in such a good house at home.

"Then do it! By the way, is the teacher enough now? ”

"Enough." Song Yingxing hesitated for a moment and said.

It's okay not to mention the teacher, but when he mentions the teacher, he is depressed. All the teachers in the primary school were brought out by him, and later there were more and more students, and more and more students he brought with him. By now, he has dozens of students! Although I don't attend classes every day, I'm also busy and dizzy. I can't wait for one person to be divided into eight petals.

Looking at Song Yingxing's expression, Zhu Youzhen was also a little funny. This Song Yingxing is indeed too busy, but there is no way, who told you to do anything?

"Song Qing, I know that you are busy and tired, but the greater your ability, the greater your responsibility! These children are not just students, but the future and hope of Daming.

YY

If they are tomorrow's sun, and you are the one who holds it up!

If they are the flowers in the garden, you are the gardener of the garden!

Although you are a little busier and more tired now, the effect is endless.

Difficult, only temporary. After these two most difficult years, everything will be fine. When the time comes, I will reduce the burden on you and let you concentrate on research. Zhu Youzhen did not hesitate to draw a big cake for him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Song Yingxing gave a salute.

Your Majesty, your old man has said this more than once. But year after year, three years and three years. I didn't see any time to be idle, but I was getting busier and busier.

"But if you think about it, in the future, these students will have to call you teacher wherever they go. If one day they enter the court and become officials, they may be more powerful than Donglin. You'll be the leader of the party! How mighty? ”

"Don't dare!"

Song Yingxing hurriedly knelt down.

Why are you talking and starting to scare people, more powerful than the Donglin Party? Doesn't that die faster?

"Alright. I'm just talking about it. Zhu Youzhen smiled.

After thinking about it, Zhu Youzhen asked the eunuch to prepare pen and ink, and when he waved his pen, a column of big characters jumped on the paper:

Falling red is not a ruthless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers.

Then when the ink was a little touched, the eunuch handed it to Song Yingxing.

"Song Qing, give it to you."

Song Yingxing, who was a little frightened, was stunned when he saw this poem on the paper.

Falling red is not a ruthless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers.

Is this written about yourself?

An indescribable emotion stirred in his heart, and Song Yingxing's eyes were red.

Others only see the scenery of him being reused by His Majesty, but they never see the hardships he has paid behind his back. Whether it is doing research, or teaching students, he has always been conscientious and devotes the greatest energy, lest he do any thing well, but people are not machines, they will be tired. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, he would miss the days when he used to study all kinds of strange things while reading.

He is happy to stand in the mill and watch the donkey pull the mill, he is happy to watch the man make iron in the blacksmith's shop, and he is happy to watch the man dye the cloth in the cloth mill.

His Majesty's repeated reuse will only make him feel a lot of pressure, and even a little resistant in his heart.

But now, he understood.

The knowledge in this world needs to be discovered and explored. It needs to be passed on!

I'm going to make a book.

Suddenly I had such a thought.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Song Yingxing held the poems given to him by Zhu Youzhen in both hands, and slowly withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.

"The king is accompanied, the intention is to give Song Yingxing, the same Jinshi background, and the prince and the prince."

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

As soon as Song Yingxing returned to his house from the palace on the front foot, Wang Chengen arrived with the holy decree on the back foot.

By the time he knelt on the ground and received the order, he was speechless.

I haven't been admitted for more than ten years, and I was given the same Jinshi background by His Majesty? But what's going on with this prince and master from a product?

"Dean Song, take the order." Wang Chengen looked at the stunned Song Yingxing with a smile and said.

Song Yingxing came back to his senses when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

When Wang Chengen was sent away, the family exploded. The family members all cheered.

Song Yingxing walked back to his study in a trance, looked at the holy decree over and over for a long time, and confirmed it.

The crown prince and the prince

From a product

Although it is a fictitious title, the power is far inferior to that of several Shangshu ancestors, but the grade surpasses them. It's also a glorious lintel.

Wang Chengen returned to the palace and reported to Zhu Youzhen what happened when the decree was issued. Hearing Song Yingxing's reaction, Zhu Youzhen smiled.

Someone called a few members of the cabinet.

"I have something I want to discuss with you today."

As soon as a few people heard this, His Majesty had informed us again.

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"I want to reform the imperial examination."
