Chapter 63 The Division of Labor
When Xie Jin came to the palace, Zhu Xiongying wanted to ask about the war in the south, but seeing Xie Jin's appearance, he was embarrassed to ask.
Xie Jin's two big dark circles were red and bloodshot. There is not much left of the previous demeanor.
Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but ask, "Xie Qing, what's wrong with you?"
Xie Jin said, "Your Majesty, the cabinet has been too busy lately."
Zhu Xiongying asked, "What are you busy with?"
Xie Jin said, "I also think I'm less busy. But when I got to the cabinet, I found out that something was wrong. I have a lot of things to do. First of all, it is necessary to form a school department and a rite department. Among them, the Faculty is directly responsible for the management of Guozijian, Yingkou University, Shenyang Institute of Technology, Lushun Shipping, and four universities. He is also responsible for the establishment of three schools, Tianjin University, Daning University, and Dongsheng University, as well as the conversion of each prefecture and county school into a secondary school and a primary school."
"And three exams will be organized next year."
Zhu Xiongying said, "What exam?"
Xie Jin said: "The high school entrance examination, the college entrance examination, and the official examination."
Then Xie Jin began to explain in detail.
Zhu Xiongying didn't finish listening to it, but he knew what Xie Jin was talking about.
He Xi almost copied the system of later generations.
This is an ideological confrontation with Nanjing. Isn't Nanjing going to hold the imperial examination? So as to win over the scholars in the south. He Xi directly promoted education, so as to improve the education system, from primary school to middle school, from middle school to university.
If all is done, there is a rudimentary education system in the North.
There is a talent training echelon. He Xi's reforms are truly rooted in this era. At the very least, the talents cultivated by these schools would never want Beijing to be defeated by Nanjing, because then all the efforts they have put in will be wiped out.
And it's also a good time.
What is the holy land of Confucianism in the whole north? It was the Hedong School, and until the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Hedong School had a place in Confucianism. Hedong is in Shanxi, and is no longer under the jurisdiction of Beijing. And the place under the control of Beijing is either the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the slaughter of a white land. Either Liaodong or Monan, these are not the lands of the Chinese cultural circle in the first place. They don't care about Confucianism or not.
Even in terms of learning, Xie Jin can crush almost everyone below.
It is true that Xie Jin has a profound background and is a first-class talent. But Xie Jin is young after all, and his accumulation is not enough, in the south, not to mention anything else, people who can beat Xie Jin academically dare not say that there are many people who are there.
But in Beijing, Xie Jin's talent can be ranked in the top ten. Among the top ten, most of them are He Xi and the people around He Xi.
It can be said that Xie Jin is responsible for this matter, and it can be regarded as making the best use of everything.
Of course, Xie Jin is very busy in this way.
Not to mention a series of personnel arrangements for the formation of new schools, the whole of Beijing is now short of personnel. There is not only a shortage of soldiers, but also a shortage of workers, a shortage of officials, and even more people who are proficient in He Xixin's learning.
It's hard enough to find someone to be in charge of the schools in the prefectures and counties.
There is one more thing that makes Xie Jin's head big.
That is to develop textbooks for elementary and secondary schools.
University textbooks do not need to be managed, and the university is generally responsible for it. And the textbooks of primary and secondary schools need to be taken care of. What are the teaching materials for Confucianism today? Three hundred thousand, these are the best of the best.
It is not an easy task for Xie Jin to come up with a textbook that is simple and easy and comparable to it.
Don't forget that Xie Jin is also in charge of the Ministry of Rites.
After He Xi's change, the Beijing Ministry of Rites and the Nanjing Ministry of Rites are completely different.
The Nanjing Ministry of Rites is very important because Confucianism governs the country with rites. The Ministry of Rites represents the legitimacy of the regime, and although the Ministry of Rites is idle, the Ministry of Rites is the first of the six ministries, which is very noble.
But the Ministry of Rites in Beijing is different.
The Beijing Ministry of Rites is in charge, the Honglu Temple is responsible for diplomacy, is responsible for the etiquette of the imperial court, and there are rewards for civil and military generals, etc. These are the traditional rites of the model
Wai, this still has to be managed, but the importance has decreased. But there is also a very important function, which is to manage the newspaper and establish its own official newspaper.
That is, to be in charge of ideology.
This is all a thing, Xie Jin can be regarded as capable, at least so many things have not been exhausted.
Zhu Xiongying listened to Xie Jin's words and said, "Do you need me to tell Shoufu about it, and give you another dispatch."
Xie Jin said, "Your Majesty, by all means. The minister is self-aware, and these things may not be able to be done well, let alone other things, and the minister thinks that the first assistant and the general are arranged here, which is also meaningful."
Zhu Xiongying said, "What is the deep meaning?"
Xie Jin said: "Taizu placed Shoufu in Guozijian, and now the important ministers under Shoufu are all from Guozijian."
Needless to say, it's all too clear. Just one point, Zhu Xiongying understood.
Xie Jin's current position, responsible for education, ideology, and so on. In fact, it is the easiest way to cultivate talents and cultivate party members. Not to mention anything else, several universities run more and train some people. is very easy.
After waiting for a few years, Xie Jin's wings are full, and it is impossible to rush to the position of Shoufu.
Although He Xi didn't say it, Xie Jin understood very well that He Xi, the first assistant, is now as stable as Mount Tai, but the world must be fine, so it's hard to say. The cabinet is a group system, and although it is said that the first assistant is the leader, the first assistant is only half a cut above the others.
And China's history is too long, and many things are very clear.
The experience of the Song Dynasty is that the prime minister cannot serve for a long time.
Especially a strong prime minister like He Xi, it is impossible to serve for a long time. Xie Jin also found his own flaw in the cabinet, that is, he lacked the ability to handle heavy government affairs. In comparison, Xie Jin mostly retreated in Nanjing. Even if there is some training in the secretary and prison, it is not as good as He Xi and others have come from Liaodong to the present.
The position of the first assistant, Xie Jin couldn't take it for a while, and even if he took it down, he couldn't sit steadily.
And Xie Jin also felt that after Qu Neng entered Beijing, a tacit understanding was reached between He Xi and Zhu Xiongying.
Xie Jin feels that this tacit understanding is probably a balance of power.
Although He Xi still has an advantage in the army, Qu Neng, Ping'an, Deng Zhen and a few others are not without checks and balances on He Xi. And He Xi put his heavy troops on the outside line and ceded control of the Beijing Division to Zhu Xiongying.
After some probing, the two sides entered a period of relative stability.
After all, the overall situation in the world is like this, and Xie Jin does not want to provoke disputes at this time, after all, if Beijing is destroyed due to civil strife, it will not be good for anyone.
Xie Jin is very satisfied with his current position and slowly accumulates strength. Cultivating party henchmen.
Zhu Xiongying was also very satisfied with He Xi's doing. After all, Xie Jin is his person. With this arrangement, it can be seen that He Xi is loyal. Of course, in He Xi's opinion, it is not like that at all. There is only one reason why He Xi arranged Xie Jin in this way.
Xie Jin's ability is insufficient, and he is still able to take care of these tasks. Nothing else is good at all, not to mention anything else, let him take charge of the overall situation instead of He Xi, take charge of money and grain instead of Yang Shiqi, and be in charge of industry and commerce instead of Yang Zhen? Neither.
Zhu Xiongying is just making the best use of people.
Zhu Xiongying said, "Xie Qing, tell me the truth, what does He Qing think about the war in the south?"
Xie Jin suddenly said, "There is a confrontation between the rivers?"
Zhu Xiongying's face was a little embarrassed, and he said, "Not yet. However, Fu Youde has already entered Texas, and the two sides are fighting, which is the work of the past few days."
Xie Jin said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not familiar with military affairs, but he has also seen the arrangements between He and Hejian, and I dare not say that it is foolproof, but even if there is something, it is enough to move back to the situation, Your Majesty is relieved, at this time, Your Majesty is even more because of guarding against arrogance and rashness, showing the world to be lenient and calm people's hearts, otherwise the Beijing Division, seeing Your Majesty so flustered, will definitely panic, and when the time comes, it will affect the overall situation, and it will be too late to regret."
Zhu Xiongying said, "I know. It's just that I'm just not at ease."
Xie Jin sighed and said, "In the opinion of the minister, Mo Ruo summoned the old general Qu, who is in charge of the Privy Council and commands the whole army, heaven
The soldiers and horses are all in the eyes of General Qu, let General Qu enter the palace and explain to His Majesty, maybe Your Majesty can rest assured."
When Zhu Xiongying heard this, he couldn't help but lean forward and asked, "Qu Neng can really be in charge of the world's soldiers and horses?"
