Chapter 558: The King's Dream

"Did you know that you Lao Tzu was awesome?" Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry, but very proud. After a pause, he added:

"The sixth man did a good job this time, he saw this joint, and made a strange move to let the people see through the lies of those squires and elders. Knowing that whether it is Qingzhang or the Lijia system, it is a good thing for the people to benefit. Those squires have lost the support of the people, so naturally they can't make any splashes. ”

"Hehe, my father has won the award." The corners of Lao Liu's mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"It's just that your method is too unseemly." Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a smile: "Fuck, the prince ran to the beggar gang to be the leader, is it like talk?!" ”

"It's the general helper." The sixth corrected.

"That's also a Hanako!" Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless. Back then, I was forced to make a living when I wanted to eat, and this kid made it a fucking hobby.

"What's wrong with calling Hanako, one of Erchen's dreams since childhood is to be the leader of the beggar gang." The sixth man said indifferently: "People say that the blue is better than the blue, and the son must have something stronger than his father." ”

"......" Zhu Yuanzhang understood his intentions, rolled his eyes depressedly and said: "Then your father was a monk, do you want to be an abbot?" ”

"I don't have any plans to do that right now." The sixth thought about it and said seriously: "It's still the profession of Sea King that is more attractive." ”

"Look at you, you look at him, and then I praised him twice, and the boy's tail went up to the sky." Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, bent over and prepared to take off his shoes and said: "I think he has itchy skin!" ”

"Father, let's get down to business." The prince hurriedly pressed his father's hand, glared at the sixth child, and said, "Don't talk nonsense anymore." ”

"Oh......" The sixth nodded obediently.

"Fuck ......" Zhu Yuanzhang also scolded and put on his shoes, when this kid couldn't see him, he always thought that he was so good and so good, and when he saw it, he hated people's teeth itching. What did you just say? ”

"When it comes to people who use beggars, they go through the streets and alleys to publicize with the people, and the effect is very good," the prince said: "It's just a bit unseemly." ”

"That's right, the huge imperial court, can't you find someone? I have to let Hanako be called to promote national policies. Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice:

"However, the effect of the government's propaganda is not necessarily as good as that of Hanako."

"That's right, propaganda must be human and down-to-earth." Zhu Zhen nodded.

"Hmm." Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "'Speaking people and being down-to-earth' is a good saying, it is really not simple for the sixth child to realize these six words." But it can be done more decently-

"We are going to build 'Shenming Pavilion' and 'Jingshan Pavilion' in every rural community. The former was used to post court proclamations and directly convey to the people the decrees that were relevant to them; The latter posted various local filial deeds and good deeds in order to educate the villagers.

"The common people are illiterate, so they select three or five or seven literate people in each township, and read them to them regularly, explaining to them the painstaking efforts of the imperial court." Zhu Yuanzhang was very proud of his resourcefulness, and glanced at Lao Liudao: "How about it, this method is better than your beggar gang propaganda team, right?" ”

"It's on the stage, but it's a bit wishful thinking." The sixth didn't buy it.

"Hey, what's the wishful thinking?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little faceless.

"Those who read books not only won't obediently read to them, but they will also use gossips to confuse the public and confuse the public!" The fourth child took the initiative to share the firepower for the sixth child, and said indignantly: "We can't help it, and lock up those Mr. Dongyan, down-and-out scholars, ruffians, street slickers, etc., so that no one will contradict the propaganda team." ”

"If the government is allowed to choose people, there is a chance that these goods will still be these goods." Zhu Zhen nodded, and said with great certainty: "It's better to find some bookkeepers, yin and yang students, brokers, and the like who only know how to read, but haven't read the sage books." ”

"Do you mean that all the books of the sages who read have gone to the dog's belly?" The prince frowned slightly when he heard this, his impression of the reader was still very good. But I didn't expect them to play such an inglorious role.

"Actually, it's because I read too many sage books that my head broke down." Zhu Zhen said amazingly: "If my father wants to share the world with the people, he can't use a reader who only reads sage books!" ”

"Who don't they use?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, he had long been tired of those scholars who were full of benevolence and morality, and had a belly full of male thieves and prostitutes, but if there were substitutes, they would have been thrown out of the clouds.

"Technocrats." Zhu Zhen replied.

"Technocrats?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked confused: "What the hell is that?" ”

"It's to let people with professional knowledge run the country." Zhu Zhen explained: "For example, let people who are proficient in accounting knowledge and understand the laws of finance manage finances; Let people who are proficient in criminal names and know the law manage the legal department; Let those who are proficient in water conservancy manage water conservancy; Let the people who are proficient in the construction manage the project. ”

"To put it bluntly, it is to let the insiders lead the insiders. Instead of letting those who don't listen to what is going on outside the window and only read the books of the sages blindly. After a pause, he said in a deep voice:

This is also the reason why Erchen said that there is a shortage of manpower, there are too few technocrats who understand practice like this, and the measurement data of a piece of land is there, and those officials who only read the books of sages cannot calculate its size. When the data of the yellow books of each township are reported, they will not be counted, and the people below will not be deceived by them, so what is the use of them? ”

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he was silent for a long time, and Fang Youyu said: "You kid, this is going to smash the rice bowl of the reader." ”

"It was my father who smashed it first." Zhu Zhen said with a smile.

A very important reason why Zhu Zhen dared to mention such a sensitive topic to Zhu Yuanzhang was that he had guessed the old thief's mind and knew that the old thief also thought so.

In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang once issued an edict to open a branch and take scholars. However, after three years of trying to get a scholar, he was very disappointed, because the people he chose were all scholars who could only recite poems and write articles, and they would not do anything but talk about it in the imperial court.

This is very far from his original intention of setting up a department to select officials who govern the country and take charge of one side. So he announced the suspension of the imperial examination, and expressed disappointment in the edict:

"I seek talents with a solid heart, and the world responds to me with a virtual text, which is not the intention of me to seek talents with real responsibility."

After that, he adopted the method of recommending local officials and cultivating the children of the country with himself to enrich the ranks of officials. The effect is actually very good...... The sixth child in Suzhou and Jiangxi has called a large number of national students who have learned arithmetic and financial management.

Liu Lian went to Qingzhang, Jiangxi at that time, and used the Guozisheng of Qingyishui.

It can be said that without the national students cultivated by Lao Zhu with pragmatism, there would be no victory of Jiangxi Qingzhang.

It was precisely because of this premise that he dared to say this......

But this proposal is too shocking, and if you really want to do what the sixth said, you have to turn the world upside down. Even the crown prince couldn't support it, he said in a deep voice: "The imperial court uses the way of sages to establish the country, and the selection of scholars and officials naturally requires the use of scholars who read the books of sages. You can learn and experience specific matters slowly......"

"Big brother, the younger brother didn't say that he didn't read the sage books." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "I'm talking about people who don't need to read only sage books. ”
