However, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "This method is good, Lan Bin, you can tell us carefully how to operate it!"

He doesn't care whether he promotes officials and soldiers to become officials, whether he will affect the interests of scholars, as long as he can solve the problem of lack of people in the imperial court, he is willing to try.

What's more, Fang Ping's three suggestions can be regarded as talking about his heart.

As an emperor born at the bottom, he knows too well the thoughts of the people, soldiers, and officials at the bottom, but whenever there is an opportunity to get ahead, he will definitely try his best to seize it.

The only thing that worries Zhu Yuanzhang is the ability of soldiers and officials.

Zhu Biao's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Father, how can those soldiers and officials who are illiterate and not scholars take on great responsibilities?"

"Those who are officials are scholars and well-read. But ***, it is also them who oppress the people. If the court officials are all such people, then we might as well choose people from among the soldiers and officials!" Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

Speaking of this, Zhu Biao was a little embarrassed: "Father, corrupt people, after all, are a minority. Most of the officials are incorruptible!"

"Okay, let's not argue with you about this, let's listen to Lan Bin!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Zhu Baoyu stopped, looked at Lan Bin again, squeezed his eyebrows vigorously, cousin, and showed mercy. We must never let officials and soldiers become officials, which violates the core interests of scholars.

Otherwise, you will be attacked by the crowd, and drowned by the spittle of those scholars and civil officials of the imperial court.

Lan Bin received Zhu Biao's signal, but he was unmoved, only replied with an apologetic look, the reason why he suggested that people be selected from among the officials and soldiers to fill the gap in the lack of people in the imperial court.

It is to break the monopoly of scholars as officials.

That is, it is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has not been established for a long time, the imperial examination system of the imperial court has not yet been perfected, and the mainstream of the current imperial court is the recommendation system.

In layman's terms, all strata are developing in the direction of solidification, but they have not yet been completely solidified, and there is still a chance to break them.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, all classes were completely solidified, the mainstream of society recognized the imperial examination, and the group of scholars became stronger, which he would never mention.

Thinking about it, he didn't dare to look at Zhu Biao, but looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can organize an exam for officials and soldiers."

"The content of the examination is mainly based on the scope of work of the yamen who are short of people."

"For example, if there is a shortage of people in the household department, and the household department is in charge of the imperial court's taxes, money and grain consumption, etc., you can take the main test in arithmetic, statistics, and related content."

"After the examination, the officials and soldiers who will be selected will be publicized in their place of household registration or place of work. Encourage the people to report anonymously, screen out people with both ability and political integrity, and enrich the yamen!"

That's right, Lan Bin's suggestion is to refer to the civil service system of later generations.

The difference is that the later generations have a well-developed education system, a large number of talents, and a relatively wide range of examinations. At present, whether it is officials or soldiers, most of them are people who are not good at reading.

You can only pull out the tall among the short people, and first use simple test questions to select a part of the literate and experienced people in life, and enrich the yamen emergency.

In the future, when the system becomes a common practice, it can be gradually improved and the difficulty of the examination can be gradually improved and screened, just like the imperial examination.

Zhu Biao's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Lan Bin to ignore his hints, and he didn't expect that Lan Bin's suggestion was very operable. Even if you improve the details, you can use it directly.

couldn't help but glance at Lan Bin deeply, and saluted: "Father, the son thinks that his cousin's advice is inappropriate, not to mention that there are very few literate people among the officials and soldiers, and it is difficult to select talents with both ability and political integrity."

"It's to use my cousin's advice to organize exams for officials and soldiers, but how does this make those scholars deal with themselves?"

"They have been studying hard for more than ten years, and in the end they are not as good as the officials and soldiers, and I am afraid that they will be resentful."

He didn't target Lan Bin, but on a case-by-case basis.

Although he felt that Lan Bin's suggestion was good, the group of scholars was too large, and all the civil officials in the imperial court were literati and scholars.

One carelessness will cause a backlash from the civil officials of the imperial court, and it will bring the imperial court to a halt in an instant.

And this is the fundamental reason for his opposition.

Lan Bin knew that what Zhu Biao said was the truth, and he also knew how serious the consequences would be of opening up the ascending channel of the officials and soldiers. But he doesn't care, he's the one who makes the suggestion anyway.

The decision is still in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally heard Lan Bin's suggestion, and his intention turned into excitement. But when he heard Zhu Biao's words in the back, it was like being poured a scoop of cold water, and he calmed down all of a sudden, walking back and forth in the hall.

After weighing it again and again, it still feels very tricky, and I inadvertently saw that after Lan Bin made the suggestion, he looked like an old god was there, and he was angry, you made a suggestion, you don't want to do it, let us think of a way, it's unreasonable.

I couldn't help but say, "Lan Bin, what do you think of the prince's statement?"
