Swish!

Everyone's eyes were on Li Changfeng, a little surprised.

Li Changfeng has always been low-key in the court, and he has never taken the initiative to do anything.

Now it is unusual, which makes all the ministers a little curious.

Even Emperor Qianwu was full of curiosity.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Li Changfeng said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Erchen proposes to reform the imperial examination system, establish a special scientific research institution, and use the talents of the world for my great cadres!" ”

The ministers were all shocked, and they didn't understand why Li Changfeng suddenly brought up this matter.

Emperor Qianwu was stunned.

Regarding this matter, he had talked to Li Changfeng before, and he rejected it because he thought it was not suitable, but he didn't expect Li Changfeng to bring up the old matter again today.

However, now that Li Changfeng has just made a great contribution and is in the limelight, it is a good opportunity to see the attitude of the ministers towards this.

He glanced at the ministers quietly, and said lightly: "Reason." ”

Li Changfeng arched his hand and said: "The current imperial examination system is based on the words of Confucian sages, but many times the selected officials do not have much real talent except for dancing and writing, and the people of the world need not these!" ”

On the way back to Beijing, Li Changfeng was thinking about this matter.

Whether it is to promote the process of industrialization of large cadres or to manufacture nuclear weapons, a large number of talented people are needed, and it is very difficult for his scientific research institute to accomplish this alone.

It is necessary to focus on the entire cadre to select and promote talent.

It is time to reform the imperial examination system for large cadres.

But before they could elaborate on the other drawbacks of the current imperial examination system, some courtiers had already stood up impatiently to express their opposition.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes is wrong in what he said, and the words of the saints educate all the people, how can it be said that the people of the world don't need this?"

"That's right, His Royal Highness denied the talents selected by the current imperial examination system, saying that they have no real talents except for dancing and writing, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the world's scholars?"

Emperor Qianwu's face sank: "What's the hurry?" You jumped out to oppose his reform plan without even listening to it? ”

The other ministers who were eager to try it immediately shut up and saw that there were still a lot of them.

Emperor Qianwu felt a little pressured.

Obviously there is a lot of resistance.

Li Changfeng arched his hand towards Emperor Qianwu: "As for the reform plan, Erchen has already thought about it, and the official government will set up a school to teach arithmetic, reading and literacy from young children, and carry out enlightenment education. ”

"When they were young, I taught them to read, learn etiquette, righteousness, honesty, loyalty, filial piety, establish a correct outlook on life and values, and at the same time began to teach some skills that can be used in life."

"When they become adults, they are provided with more professional study directions according to their strengths and interests. After completing their studies, those who learn arithmetic can serve in the household department in the future, those who study agriculture and labor can serve in the household department, and those who study military strategy will be allowed to serve in the army, and so on. ”

"The direction of study should be refined, not just reading the books of sages, but also considering the issue of applying what we have learned, and selecting and appointing officials according to their skills, rather than according to the quality of their books!"

"Let's talk about the direction of study......

Li Changfeng gave a detailed account of his reform plan.

The expressions of the ministers gradually changed from shock at the beginning to dissatisfaction and anger, and some even showed worried looks.

They have realized that Li Changfeng wants to completely cut off the dependence of the family on the eternal wealth from the roots, break the class solidification, and let those mud-legged people have the possibility of becoming masters.

It's impossible!

After Li Changfeng finished speaking, Zhou Hongtu, the secretary of the ministry, stood up.

"No, it's absolutely not going to work! Starting from young children, do you know how much it costs, Your Highness? Can the big dry finances afford it? ”

Li Changfeng immediately said: "You can start the pilot project in the capital first, and then gradually promote it to the whole country later." ”

Zhou Hongtu shook his head again and again, and his tone was firm: "That's not good!" Your Highness, you have completely denied the words of the sages and the system that has been in use for thousands of years, and you are denying your ancestors and the people who read the world! ”

Hearing such heart-wrenching words, Li Changfeng's face was slightly gloomy: "This prince did not deny the scholars, but just wanted everyone to give full play to their own strengths!" ”

Zhou Hongtu looked worried about the country and the people: "Your Highness, do you know how much impact this reform plan will have on the cadres?" This is no joke, and it cannot be solved by artillery bombardment! ”

Other ministers echoed the rhetoric.

"This will chill the hearts of the courtiers and the hearts of the scholars of the world!"

"If His Highness insists on this, Weichen is willing to admonish him with death!"

"If the people in the market are not educated, how can they enter the court and become officials?"

"If you don't accept the words of the saints, and don't understand etiquette, righteousness, and shame, how can you reuse it?"

"If this move is promoted, it will be in danger!"

……

Except for a few ministers such as Feng Quji, as well as some military generals born in the army, they were silent, and almost all of them were opposed.

Li Changfeng sighed secretly, his face gloomy.

They are a rare unity in defending their own class interests.

Emperor Qianwu's face was gloomy, and he cast a meaningful glance at Li Changfeng, as if to say that he had seen it, and reform was not so easy to obtain.

Li Changfeng knew that this matter was no longer a joke, so he retreated and said: "The establishment of a special scientific research institution, the network of talents in the world for the use of my cadres, this point will not be objected to, right?" ”

Zhou Hongtu instinctively stood up: "Your Highness, there are a lot of people in the market, how can they be easily appointed?" First of all, you must understand the way of the saints! ”

"Old Horseman Zhou!"

Li Changfeng burst into a shout, startling Zhou Hongtu.

He was completely angry, pointed at Zhou Hongtu's nose and scolded: "It's just that you oppose the imperial examination system, and now you even oppose the establishment of scientific research institutions, are you and intentions?" Don't you want me to grow stronger?! ”

Zhou Hongtu looked a little frightened, but he still argued with reason: "How can Your Highness frame the old man?" The old man is loyal to Daqian, but the sun and the moon can be revealed! It's just that the measures proposed by His Highness are really inappropriate, even if he offends Your Highness today, the old man must speak up! ”

"Wrong?"

Li Changfeng sneered.

Then he raised his tone and asked loudly: "The salt-making technique was improved by the scientific research institute under the command of this prince, so that the people of Li in the world can eat good salt." You are in charge of the selection, appointment and dismissal of officials in the world, why have the officials you elected not improved? ”

"The vegetable greenhouse is built by the scientific research institute under the command of this prince, so that the people can eat green vegetables in winter, can you?"

"The artillery musket grenade was also made by the scientific research institute, and it defeated the barbarian invasion, can you?"

"What is your intention in opposing the establishment of a scientific research institution by this prince?!"

"You...... You ......"

Zhou Hongtu's face turned red, and he was powerless to refute.

The contribution of the scientific research institute is obvious to all in the world, and no one can deny it.

"Humph!"

Li Changfeng snorted coldly and looked around at everyone.

"Who else is against it, stand up!"

The ministers were silent.

Li Changfeng smiled coldly and looked at Emperor Qianwu.

Emperor Qianwu immediately decided: "Since no one objected, then the matter was decided." After retiring from the dynasty, Li Changfeng followed me to the imperial study. ”

The ministers had different expressions and left the Xuanzheng Palace.

Li Changfeng went straight to the imperial study.
