Chapter 229: The limelight is turning! Confucian scholars collectively went to Beijing to protest! Great Confucian face saint! Zhu Di was furious!
"Abolishing the imperial examination is a good policy for a hundred years, haha."
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, together with Zhu Gaochi, were flipping through the application forms for the reinstatement of these officials, and when they saw the contents, they couldn't help laughing.
It's really as Li Xiao said, these days, those officials who have resigned have been crying and shouting to come back, and have been waiting for three days and three nights in front of the official department.
Several people were sick and had to lie there and not leave.
How ruthless he was at the beginning, how resolute he is when he comes back now.
"Father, there is a good plan here."
Zhu Gaochi took out another copy and handed it over to watch together, Zhu Di shook his head when he saw it, these people don't want to face in order to come back.
Zhu Di then flipped through the application form, and immediately saw an even more outrageous one.
"Into the fuck, all the good strategies for the ages have appeared, and they actually wrote ten good things, and they analyzed the way."
Zhu Di took out the application letter of 'Zhang Assembly' and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Father, this is it"
Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said helplessly: "It's still a matter of money, and these new policies should be no problem." β
"I can only say that it will go well."
Zhu Di shook his head slightly and said: "These existing officials are vested gainers, and they can be bought with money, and there are still many scholars in the world who have not been examined, so they can't say it well." β
Zhu Gaochi said: "My father thought about it in time, and the ministers also thought about it, and they are asking the cabinet to come up with a plan." β
Zhu Di nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, these people are well selected and investigated, if there is that kind of opportunistic and slippery official, just take this opportunity to get rid of it." β
The implication is that the reinstatement application form can be rejected for those officials who do not need it.
"Father, the child knows." Zhu Gaochi nodded.
Zhu Di also said: "There are also conditions attached to the subdivision, if you don't make a big mistake within 20 years, you can get the property if you are loyal to your duties, if you are greedy for ink and make mistakes on the way, the court can take it back at any time." β
Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "Father, this brother-in-law has thought of it a long time ago and mentioned it to the child, and even these three questions were raised by the brother-in-law, which is really wonderful." β
"Li Xiao is really amazing, I thought of it with me."
Zhu Di bowed slightly, then go and do it.
Zhu Gaochi smiled: "Yes, father." β
The days that followed.
Officials have been reinstated one after another, and those who performed well during their tenure were reinstated, those who performed mediocre were demoted, and those who performed particularly poorly were directly denied.
Immediately followed by the addition of money and the division of the house, this benefit has actually been implemented a long time ago.
After all, the current Beiping is not as good as before, and the people's incomes have increased, if the officials' salaries remain the same, then who is willing to be an official?
But Li Xiao deliberately asked Zhu Gaochi to keep a hand and announce the benefits later.
I didn't expect it to be really useful one day.
These officials who couldn't hold their breath were put on a hard beating, and now they don't know how honest they are.
The reinstated officials got the documents for the division of the house, and one by one they rushed to the sales office of the Wangcheng Mansion, rushing to choose a house and sign a contract, for fear that the house would be selected.
In fact, the house is enough, and there are even more than a dozen sets, so you don't have to rob like this, it's completely human nature.
Not to mention, after dividing the house, adding a salary, and working hours are on par with the former officials of Beiping Mansion, these people now see Li Xiao one by one, they are all smiling, and they bow down when they meet: "Hello, Master Guoshi." "Master Guoshi, you go slowly." "National Teacher, you have worked hard."
That's outrageous!
There is a great contrast between the front and the back.
Li Xiao sighed, I was always impeached when I had nothing to do before, just because the welfare of Beiping officials was not pressed on your heads, right? ?
In short, no one says that Li Xiao is bad now, and no one blindly impeaches Li Xiao.
The work efficiency of these people has also improved, and they don't dare to collect money to do things for others.
Why?
Because of collecting money to do things, if it is found by the inspectorate, it will be confiscated real estate, and it is not worth it!
Now that Yulu has improved so much, there are benefits during the New Year's holidays, and after being caught for a little profit, it's not a big loss!
Not only the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but also a newly built local government office in Beiping Prefecture, called the Anti-Corruption Bureau, which specializes in investigating corruption and accepting reports from the masses
As a result, the work efficiency of the officials has improved, and they have been vigorous and energetic.
"Shang Chaoβ"
On this day, the eunuch chanted, and then went to the morning court.
Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair, looked at the officials below, and said, "What do you think of the cancellation of the imperial examination?"
"This is a good policy, a good policy, we must implement it, replace the imperial examination with the national examination, and select better talents for the country."
Hundreds of officials have given up their hands, and their opinions are surprisingly unified.
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Didn't you impeach the national teacher before, saying that adjusting the rest time without authorization was against the ancestral teachings and canceling the imperial examination, which is a great rebellion?" β
"The national teacher has good intentions, and I blame the national teacher for our mistakes."
Hundreds of officials gave up their hands.
"Don't blame those who don't know, hahaha."
Li Xiao smiled and waved his hand, with a gesture of indifference.
"The magnanimity of the National Teacher is admired."
Hundreds of officials gave up their hands one after another.
β.β Zhu Di was almost speechless.
Also, Li Xiao did this, the treatment of this errand is indeed much better, and the treasury is now enough to support such a large amount of silver expenses.
During this time, under the secret visit of Jin Yiwei, he did find that the situation of greedy ink was almost extinct, and everyone worked more seriously.
really responded to Li Xiao's sentence "The money is not in place, and my heart is wronged".
Now that the money is in place, the treatment is sufficient, the house is divided, and everyone is easy to talk to.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a word."
At this time, Yang Shiqi walked out and arched his hand.
Zhu Di said: "Say." β
Yang Shiqi said: "The minister thinks that it is still a little inappropriate to directly cancel the imperial examination, and it is easy to cause turmoil, and this matter needs to be studied again." β
Yang Shiqi also told the truth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, someone refuted him.
"Yang Shiqi, you're not right, this national examination policy, I have studied it carefully in the past few days, and I can take better talents, you are hindering the national policy!"
Yiyanguan immediately jumped out and pointed at Yang Shiqi and said.
This official originally did not support the cancellation of the imperial examination, and resigned because of this, but after being reinstated, he was divided into a house, not to mention how cool it was to live in a small courtyard.
Now he has turned black to powder, and he is a resolute supporter of the national teacher.
There are more fans who have also accused Yang Shiqi, and whispered that Yang Shiqi is ungrateful, and this lackey is incompetent!
It's better to let me be a lackey of the national teacher
Li Xiao opened his mouth and said: "What Yang Shiqi said also has some truth, I don't know what kind of compromise there is?" β
In fact, Li Xiao also felt that the sudden cancellation of the imperial examination was indeed a bit inappropriate, mainly involving the whole country, unlike before, which was only aimed at a prefecture.
Yang Shiqi said: "The Military Aircraft Department is still discussing this matter, and there is no conclusion for the time being. β
Hearing this, Zhu Di said: "Since we are still discussing, let's give a strategy as soon as possible, and there must be no mistakes." β
Yang Shiqi arched his hand: "The minister's order." β
When the early dynasty came to an end, the eunuch shouted: "Retreat!" β
After the retreat from the dynasty.
Li Xiao walked out of the main hall, and these officials began to come over one by one to offer their affection.
However, Li Xiao naturally didn't care much about it, so he immediately slipped away.
That's it.
The abolition of the imperial examination was carried out in one fell swoop, and a phased victory was obtained.
In the next few days, the Military Aircraft Department has been deliberating on a compromise method for the imperial examination.
And Li Xiao is happy to be idle, after all, he can't make ideas on his own for everything, so he can't be tired to death?
The rest of the time, Li Xiao began to prepare for college.
That's right, now there are primary schools, middle schools, but there are no universities.
And the university that Li Xiao wants to hold must be technology-oriented, science and technology to rejuvenate the country, and the main focus is the word science and technology.
To this end, Li Xiao began to recruit the world's wizards as a lecturer at the university.
The so-called geniuses are those who are proficient in arithmetic, physics, astronomy and geography, and even alchemists are also in Li Xiao's consideration.
Fangshi actually understands some of the laws of chemistry, but he doesn't know much about the principles.
Extracting bronze, gold, silver, and wine from ores. And so on, it was these alchemists who came up with it.
Soon, Li Xiao recruited a lot of talents all over the country, including a group of alchemists and Taoist priests who were engaged in refining the elixir of life.
Such news soon reached the ears of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di.
Summoning the country's alchemists, in the eyes of ordinary people, isn't that just wanting to refine the elixir of immortality, thinking about immortality.
Regarding immortality, Zhu Yuanzhang will not believe a word.
Imperial Palace, in the Hongwu Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang was preoccupied, and said: "Oh no, why does Li Xiao fantasize about immortality, those Jingong Great Dan practiced by Taoist priests are all poisonous." β
"yes."
Zhu Di also shook his head and said: "Everything is developing in a good direction, this Li Xiao can't go crookedly." β
Both of them are very concerned about Li Xiao's dynamics.
After discovering that Li Xiao had strange behavior, he couldn't help but worry about Li Xiao.
How many emperors in history have eaten golden pills for immortality, but who can get immortality? Didn't they all die in the end?
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang also deliberately set up an ancestral training, and the descendants of all generations are not allowed to seek the art of immortality.
Instead, Zhu Gaochi muttered: "Imperial grandfather, Li Xiaotong's medical skills are superb, will he really have a way to practice the elixir of immortality?" β
"Nonsense!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily: "Don't have such a ridiculous idea, people who have such thoughts will end up being poisoned by Jin Dan." β
Zhu Gaochi stuck out his tongue and said no more.
I had to say: "When I have time, I will mention this matter to my brother-in-law." β
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, looked at Zhu Di and said: "Fourth, if you have time to go over and take a look, if Li Xiao is really practicing the Immortal Pill, stop it in time, don't let him go further and further on the wrong path." β
Zhu Di arched his hand: "Father, don't worry, if Li Xiao is really practicing the Immortal Pill, I will definitely not spare him, and I will teach him a hard lesson." β
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.
And on the other side.
After a group of alchemists were summoned by Li Xiao, Li Xiao planned for them to talk about scientific reasoning.
In order to convince them of science, Li Xiao plans to make a small experiment first.
That's electricity, and friction generates electricity.
Electricity is a source of energy that lights up tungsten filaments and makes light bulbs.
Then Li Xiao also planned to use Fangshi's method to make small batteries and store electricity.
Everything is in order.
The only drawback is that Li Xiao does not have the skills yet.
So during this time, Li Xiao began to refresh science and technology-related books in the mall
Guogong Mansion, in the study, Li Xiao was lying on a chair and looking at Erlang's legs.
A maid next to her peeled the freshly picked grapes and put them into Li Xiao's mouth.
There are also maids, one gently pinching Li Xiao's shoulder with her little hand, and the other pinching Li Xiao's leg with her little hand.
Enjoyment, that's how it should have been in ancient times.
"It's out, it's out."
Suddenly, Li Xiao's eyes lit up, and the system mall swiped out good things.
It took 10 million points to finally brush out junior high school chemistry and junior high school physics.
"Stand down."
Li Xiao waved his hand and pulled the maid back.
After the maid left, Li Xiao extracted junior high school chemistry and junior high school physics from the system warehouse.
"It's a familiar feeling, I haven't seen this thing in years."
Li Xiao was very emotional, and turned the first page, the first lesson.
It reads: What is chemistry, classification of substances, basic concepts such as atoms, molecules, ions, elements, compounds, etc.
"Good thing, in that case, I'll act as a junior high school teacher and teach them a good lesson."
Thinking like this, Li Xiao plans to talk about it first and train a group of university lecturers.
Later, they will develop freely, and over time, this knowledge will take root.
The time of one generation is definitely not enough, ten generations, twenty generations, and it is almost enough to popularize science.
Hundreds of years later, the Ming Dynasty's inappropriate level of science and technology was at the top of the world.
In a few thousand years, you may be able to fly into the galaxy on a spaceship.
"Today has been refreshed to the eleventh time, and then let's see what good things are in the back, anyway, the points are very sufficient."
Thinking of this, Li Xiao clicked on the refresh item again, and this time the refresh cost 400,000 points.
[Today's System Mall Refresh Items:]
[1. Coca-Cola formula. Consume 1,000,000 points. γ
[2. Household small helicopters. Consume 10 million points. γ
[3. Later generations of celebrities will be born in their own country in advance, scientists in the late Ming Dynasty: Song Yingxing. 85 million points are consumed. γ
[Consume 819,200 points to continue refreshing items.] γ
[Current points: 520 million points.] γ
Seeing the above products, Li Xiao hesitated for a second and then chose to empty the mall.
The first two items are somewhat useful, and although they are not currently used, they can be kept.
The third item is more useful.
Li Xiao is worried about the candidate for the president of the university, isn't this on his lips?
Song Yingxing was born in the Wanli period, and devoted his life to the scientific investigation and research of agriculture and handicraft production, and collected a wealth of scientific materials.
At the same time, his intellectual foresight made him a critical thinker of feudalism and the academic tradition of the Middle Ages.
Song Yingxing's writings and research areas cover different disciplines of natural sciences and humanities, and his most outstanding work, Heavenly Creations, has been hailed as "the encyclopedia of Chinese craftsmanship in the 17th century".
He was also a fish that slipped through the net of the imperial examination system, and after many failures in the imperial examination, he gave up the idea of the imperial examination, which led to his later achievements.
The light flashed, and a figure appeared in front of Li Xiao.
"Where is this?"
Song Yingxing, a scientist at the end of the Ming Dynasty, obviously felt that he was still doing research at home just now, and suddenly a person appeared in another place.
"Song Yingxing is now the sixth year of Yongle, and standing in front of you is the Ming Yongle Gong, the Ming National Teacher, the promoter of science and technology, and the pioneer of reform, congratulations on coming to your previous life and serving me."
Li Xiao smiled and spoke, and then introduced the current situation.
is the same as what Wei Zhongxian introduced at that time, it is nothing more than a repetition.
Song Yingxing listened to Li Xiao's acceptance with a confused expression, and then directly fell stupid.
Li Xiao began to continue to explain.
Half an hour later.
"The steam train came out, using the steam principle?"
When Song Yingxing heard this, he jumped up excitedly and said with great joy: "I have long been aware of the principle of steam, but I don't know how to use it, can I take a look?" β
"So you're already aware of it? Of course! β
Then, Li Xiao led Song Yingxing to go to Beiping City for a walk, and Song Yingxing made an earth-shattering sigh about the current development of Beiping, which is too advanced.
Then he found that history had changed, in the fifth year of Yongle, Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive, and the national strength of Yongle was so strong that it could not be attached.
When Song Yingxing went to see the steam train again, the whole person was excited, and the steam theory he thought of was verified, which is the most exciting thing for a scientist.
Returning to the Guogong Mansion again, Song Yingxing was completely convinced of Li Xiao.
"Song Yingxing is willing to use his life to help Lord Guogong!" Song Yingxing said excitedly.
In fact, the characters brushed out by the system are absolutely loyal to Li Xiao.
However, Li Xiao is still willing to have a heart-to-heart with scientific research talents like Song Yingxing and have a common ideal.
"Good! Our company can also give you the greatest support, and you have nothing to do with what conditions you want to cooperate with your research. β
Li Xiao smiled and nodded, with this guy, he doesn't have to work hard to get into college, he can completely leave it to him.
Song Yingxing arched his hand and said: "Lord Guogong, although I don't know why it appeared in the Yongle period, but Song Yingxing feels that this is the will of heaven, and the sky makes my Ming Dynasty more prosperous." β
Song Yingxing in the Wanli period was disappointed in the imperial court, but now everything has changed, there are such good conditions to study knowledge, spread talents, and have no regrets in this life!
"Good! These two books, you take them to study and study. β
Li Xiao handed junior high school chemistry and physics to Song Yingxing.
Song Yingxing opened it and was shocked, it actually dissected the most basic things in the world.
Molecules, atoms. It turns out that everything is made up of these tiny particles!!
"This book. It is a book of God, far beyond the heavenly work written below, the heavenly work is a small way, this is the truth of the avenue!! β
Song Yingxing was so excited that his whole soul trembled!
His hands holding the book were shaking
Li Xiao smiled and nodded, no wonder Song Yingxing was so excited.
Don't look at junior high school chemistry, the pinnacle of human science and technology at this time, the theory in it is the truth of the road for the ancients.
Li Xiao thought that if one day he could know the truth of the universe, how big the universe was, and what was outside the universe, the excitement he showed would probably be the same as Song Yingxing.
Subsequently, Li Xiao arranged for Song Yingxing to live in the Guogong Mansion, although this kind of person does not care about this material condition, but Li Xiao still gave him a good residence and arranged for someone to serve.
After Song Yingxing thanked him repeatedly, he went to the room to study junior high school chemistry and physics.
Li Xiaoxin said, I'm afraid that such a book can be understood by Song Yingxing and seen through.
In the study, it was quiet again.
"It's the twelfth refresh, keep refreshing it."
So, Li Xiao chose to continue to refresh, the thirteenth.
[Today's System Mall Refresh Items:]
[1. The Great Dao is reasonable, and the vision of heaven and earth (when you say the wise words that transcend the times, there will be a vision from the sky). Consume 20 million points. γ
[2. Nine turns Ruyi Jindan (drive away all diseases in the body, eliminate all toxins, and restore to the current peak health state of age). Consume 50 million points. γ
[Three, puppet dolls. (Leave an idea in the puppet doll, if you unfortunately die, you can get rebirth through the puppet doll) consume 100 million points. γ
[Consume 1,638,400 points and continue to refresh items.] γ
[Current points: 514 million points.] γ
"Thirteenth time, have you begun to surpass science??"
After Li Xiao saw the items in the mall, he was a little confused.
Especially the puppet doll, which directly added a life.
"Clear the mall."
After Li Xiao bought them all, he refreshed the items again.
The fourteenth time, one more puppet doll was spawned, and the other two were ordinary things.
After buying this puppet doll, Li Xiao gave up.
Li Xiao plans to use this puppet doll to leave a trace of his own and Ning Yun's thoughts, and find a safe place to put it, although the body is already the body of a peerless general, there can be no danger, but this thing is prepared.
"This Nine Turns Golden Pill seems to be able to eliminate all toxins and restore health, right, it can detoxify anyway"
Come to think of this.
Li Xiao silently took out a cigarette, lit it, and rewarded himself.
Meanwhile.
Thousands of Confucian students from all over the country and several Shandong Confucians have come to the capital.
Shandong has more Confucianism, which is the hometown of Confucius, with a Confucian temple.
Confucian students across the country learned that the imperial examination was cancelled, and Confucianism declined.
The Confucian scholars also followed to the capital.
At this time, the contemporary Confucian Confucius was highly respected and had the grace to teach in Xie Jin.
"Teacher!"
Outside the city of Beiping, Xie Jin waited outside the city gate early, and when Kong Mao learned it, Xie Jin immediately greeted him.
Xie Jin is also a great Confucian, the idol of the world's scholars, he can write articles at the age of seven, and recite articles of a thousand words a day at the age of ten, and he will never forget them.
At the age of twelve, he read the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" and ran through their righteousness.
"Xie Jin, long time no see!"
Kong Maoxue smiled and left, and the two of them hadn't seen each other for many years, so they exchanged pleasantries.
He brought more than 300 students to the capital to reason.
After the greetings, Kong Maoxue asked: "Xie Jin, is there anything wrong with canceling the imperial examination this time?" β
Xie Jin nodded: "But there is something." β
Hearing this, Kong Maoxue's face was sad, and he said: "It's unimaginable, is it going to be like the Qin Dynasty thousands of years ago, burning books and pit Confucianism!" Xie Jin, most of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were Confucian scholars who read the Four Books and the Five Classics, why no one advised! β
Xie Jin sighed: "It's a long story, originally I resigned and went on strike together, but I didn't think that the Ming national teacher would use money to lure him, and most of the officials have already turned back, but I and the rest of the people are difficult to support alone!" β
"Tempted by money?"
Kong Maoxue said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, who is this Ming national teacher, who is he doing this, and now he wants to abolish the imperial examination, which is equivalent to abolishing half of Confucianism, it is true. Insulting to the sages! β
Most of these Confucian scholars did not participate in the imperial examination, did not enter the court as officials, and only specialized in studying at home, teaching and preaching, but as soon as the imperial examination was canceled, they were more angry than anyone else.
What is even more annoying is that the national examination, which replaces the imperial examination, actually has to test astronomy, geography, and arithmetic.
Confucian scholars who respect Confucianism alone must not tolerate their own learning being insulted in this way.
"I'm waiting to face the saint! Question the Holy One to your face! β
The three hundred students in big hats behind him shouted indignantly.
"We need to think about it in the long term." Xie Jin welcomed these people into the city, "Please come in quickly, come to my house to talk in detail." β
"Don't be impatient, go in first and rest for a while."
Kong Maoxue instructed the students, and then led the students into Beiping City.
Seeing the prosperity in Beiping City, and learning that the people can go to primary and secondary schools to teach, I was even more annoyed.
Kong Maoxue entered Xie Jin's mansion, and the two began to talk about countermeasures all night.
The city of Beiping suddenly flooded with thousands of Confucian students.
Zhu Gaochi also paid attention to this situation, and hurriedly prepared to meet Kong Maoxue.
intends to explain the details, indicating that Confucianism has not been abandoned and is still in the national examination.
It's just that after the prince Zhu Gaochi proposed to meet, he directly ate the closed-door soup. and told Zhu Gaochi that he asked to meet the saint directly.
Zhu Gaochi was helpless, so he had to convey his meaning to Zhu Di.
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, after Zhu Di heard this, he slapped the table and couldn't help but say angrily:
"What? Do you want me to see him in person? Don't even think about it! Let them stay where it is cool. β
