Chapter 225 Reform Follow-up

The important ministers of the court were forced by Qin Wei to stay in the front hall of the imperial city, and the next morning, the governor's mansion of the five armies and the six Shangshu left the imperial city with the holy decree and cabinet documents in hand.

Then came a chicken-fly-dog jump.

Starting with the Rokubu Yamen, in just one hour, all kinds of news spread throughout Kyoto, and spread in all directions of Kyoto at an unbelievable speed.

However, compared with the spread of news, the transmission of official documents of the imperial court was more rapid, and under the will of Qin Wei, the post stations of all parties sent the official documents to all prefectures, capitals and counties at a speed of 800 miles.

In just five days, the official document on the promotion of Yanwu Pavilion and tax reform was delivered to all the prefectures and counties of Dali.

In the face of the sudden official documents, the local government and county government offices were jumping again.

The prefects and counties looked at the official documents, and they were all sweating profusely.

It's good to say that the promotion of Yanwu Pavilion is good, and the court asks them to do it, and they just do it.

However, the impact of this tax reform is so great that they don't know how much turmoil it will cause if it is implemented.

However, Qin Wei's Ming decree demanded that all prefectures and counties should measure all the heavens and regions in the world within three months, that is to say, they only have three months, if they are not completed in three months, the dismissal and dismissal of officials are light, and if it is a passive sabotage, it will be punished by the three clans.

"Your Majesty, why is that?"

"Does Your Majesty want to force the people of the world to rebel?"

The first thought of many officials when they saw the official document was that Qin Wei, the emperor, was crazy.

However, even more crazy things have just begun, and when the prefects and counties in various places were still hesitating, one by one waist cards were sent to them.

Imperial City Division waist card!

This means that the Imperial City Division is already in place, and if you dare to disobey the yin and yang, you will report it to His Majesty the Emperor.

Qin Wei was well aware of the local government's passive and slacking routine, and he knew that the officials of the imperial court were the biggest obstacle to tax reform, because all officials were tax-exempt privileged class, and if Qin Wei wanted to carry out tax reform, he must first suppress these officials.

The Imperial City Division's waist card is a whip, a whip that drives the officials away.

Holding the waist card of the Imperial City Division, the local prefects and counties finally had to start measuring the land.

And the day after the official document was sent, Qin Wei came to Guozijian.

Accompanied by the Confucian master Yanzhen, the Confucian master Wang Shouren, and the country's priest Fu Chengyi.

After everyone saluted, Qin Wei was accompanied by the three of them to visit the Dali Kingdom Prison.

Looking at the groups of scholars in Guozi Prison and the literary atmosphere behind him, Qin Wei felt very satisfied in his heart.

Dali's scholars are not the kind of nerds, nor are they a group of rotten people.

In Dali, scholars have two ways to go, one is to enter the court as an official through the imperial examination, and the other is to painstakingly study Confucian classics and become Confucian cultivators.

In fact, in Guozijian, Confucian cultivation was more popular than being an official, which may have been influenced by Yanzhen.

"Fu Aiqing, how many students and professors are there in Guozijian at present?"

Qin Wei looked at the towering library and asked casually.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are currently more than 13,000 students and more than 4,600 professors in Guozijian." Fu Chengyi said.

Qin Wei's expression moved slightly.

There are only about 13,000 students, but 4,600 professors.

This may sound a little off, but in fact this is the real situation of Guozijian.

There are few students because it is not easy to be admitted to Guozijian, and there are many professors because these professors are all Confucian scholars.

Professors do not refer to university professors, but to faculty members in government schools, and are divided into doctors, teaching assistants, and direct lectures.

According to the different subjects taught, the grades are not exactly the same, for example, the doctor of Guozixue is on the fifth grade, the doctor of Taixue is on the sixth grade, the doctor of law is from the eighth grade, and the doctor of calligraphy and arithmetic is from the ninth grade.

In fact, in Dali, professors are a large group, starting from Guozijian, all the way to the local government school, county school, as many as more than 100,000 professors, these people are the backbone of Dali Confucianism.

However, most of them are only on a temporary job and do not have a teaching task.

In other words, most professors only pay for money and don't work.

This is why there are more than 4,000 professors in the country.

Qin Wei was not dissatisfied with this, but so many people didn't work, which made him feel a bit wasteful.

Qin Wei thought for a while and said, "The tax reform has begun, and when the tax reform is over, I plan to carry out the imperial examination and the reform of the official school!" ”

"How does Your Majesty intend to reform?" Yan Zhen next to him couldn't help but ask.

He is now a little afraid of Qin Wei, His Majesty the Emperor, not that Qin Wei is powerful, but that Qin Wei can do things.

It has only been since he ascended the throne for a long time, and he has to carry out tax reform, which is really not something that ordinary people can do.

Qin Wei said with a smile: "The reform of official learning can be divided into three steps, the first step is to go to the countryside with official learning, simply put, it is to set up official schools in each township, that is, township learning, township learning does not teach Confucian scriptures, but enlightenment, based on reading literacy and arithmetic. ”

"The second step is the reform of the county school, based on the Confucian scriptures, adding medicine, arithmetic, astronomy, geography and other disciplines."

"The third step, the selection of officials and the reform of the imperial examination, in the future, the official rank will be increased from 12 grades, and the local government offices, county government documents, and errand officers will all have ranks."

"The selection of officials is subject to the imperial examination, and all prefectures, prefectures, and counties can conduct the imperial examination, and the assessment content is mainly based on specific positions."

Qin Wei has a lot of ideas, the so-called reform of official education is literacy, but it is still a little early to say that literacy, even if the township schools are all over the country, it is difficult to achieve 100% literacy.

His idea is to make the literacy rate of all the people in Dali reach 30 percent within 10 years and 80 percent within 30 years.

As for compulsory education, don't think about it for the time being, and then look at the situation, after all, compulsory education costs too much, not only need the court to have money, but also need the people to have money in their hands.

If the people can't even afford pen, ink, paper and inkstone, how can they talk about compulsory education?

The imperial examination reform was established by Qin Wei with reference to the civil service examination system in his previous life, and included minor officials in the scope.

The small officials are the foundation of the imperial court, the iron-clad yamen, and the flowing officials.

A county government, the magistrate is the biggest official, but it is those small officials and officials who really do things, they are in direct contact with the people, and they represent the court in front of the people.

If you want to rule the world, you must get rid of the disease of the officials.

Qin Wei's imperial examination was designed to solve this problem.

Of course, Qin Wei also understands that it is difficult to change this problem, but even if it is only a little change, it is a great thing for all the people of Dali.

And after Yan Zhen listened to his words, the whole person fell into a daze.

Is this okay?

It may sound good, but it seems hard to do.

It is certainly a good thing that the government schools go to the countryside, but the money spent to build so many township schools is innumerable, and the money required to maintain so many township schools is even more.

"Your Majesty, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh! Everything should be done slowly. Yan Zhen said.

Qin Wei glanced at him, "Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, I plan to complete the reform of official education within ten years, but the reform of the imperial examination, I plan to start within three years." ”

"Three years is a fixed deadline, and three years of turmoil will be exchanged for a hundred years of prosperity in the future. It's worth it. ”

"Even if the world is against it, I will create another Lang Lang Qiankun!"

Qin Wei has already made a plan and rightfully inherited the throne, which saved him a lot of trouble, but there are many drawbacks within Dali, and Qin Wei plans to use all the manpower and material resources saved on Dali reform.

Now he is not afraid of man-made rebellion, and even he wishes that there would be man-made rebellion, just so that he can clean up some of the dirt inside the big glass.

Establish his imperial power in the reform, and after the reform, the entire glass will be his hall.

In a word, the world will follow.

He didn't want to overthrow Dali's feudal system, he just wanted to give ordinary people more opportunities to rise and give full play to Dali's demographic advantages.

Under the huge population base and the reasonable talent selection system, Dali will definitely emerge with countless pride.

It's not that everyone is like a dragon, but everyone has a chance to become a dragon.

With the Yitian chessboard, Qin Wei was not afraid that someone would be strong enough to threaten him, so he naturally hoped that more powerful talents would emerge in Dali.

If Dali can have thousands of innate martial artists in the future, then what Qiongtian Sea Area, what Oriental Family, and what is there to fear?

Qin Wei's words made Yan Zhen and Fu Chengyi look at each other.

It's not that they haven't seen crazy emperors, and when the old emperor implemented the martial order, it was crazy enough. But compared to today's Qin Wei, Shang Wuling is just a piece of cake.

Yan Zhen thought about it and looked at Wang Shouren next to him, but Wang Shouren didn't care about what Qin Wei said at all.

The chess pieces are Qin Wei's staunchest supporters, they have absolute loyalty to Qin Wei, they will give advice to Qin Wei, but they will not influence Qin Wei's decision.

Wang Shouren also couldn't understand Qin Wei's specific thoughts, but this did not prevent him from supporting Qin Wei.

Seeing Wang Shouren like this, Yan Zhen didn't know what to say for a while.

Wang Shouren is the inheritor he values the most, and in his opinion, the future of Dali Confucian cultivation lies in Wang Shouren.

After a little mover, Yan Zhen spoke: "The old man will fully support His Majesty!" ”

Fu Chengyi, who was next to him, heard this, and his face was full of incredulity.

The pros and cons are not important, the important thing is that there are many unstable factors in Qin Wei's thoughts, and with his understanding of Yan Zhen, Yan Zhen is a person who does not like turmoil.

At present, the situation of Dali Confucian cultivation is very good, and the martial artists are all good, and it stands to reason that Yan Zhen has no reason to support Qin Wei's reform.

But now Yan Zhen actually wants to fully support Qin Wei, which makes Fu Chengyi incomprehensible.

"With the words of the master, I will be relieved."

"Right now, I happen to have one thing that needs the Master's support." Qin Wei said with a smile.

"Your Majesty just as you command." Yan Zhen said.

Qin Wei raised his head and glanced at the clear sky, and said with a smile: "I need the Guozijian to prepare three thousand students who can enter the court as officials. ”

"Ugh! Your Majesty, why is that? Yan Zhen asked in surprise.

"There is never a shortage of unsightly existences in this world, and there must be a lot of filthy officials in various states, prefectures and counties, I really hope that after I cut them down, the students of Guozijian can go up and continue the reform of the court." Qin Wei explained.

Up and down, Dali Chaotang is still very strong in the local dominance, but it is inevitable that some people will disobey the yang and the yin.

Therefore, Qin Wei has already prepared a butcher knife, and he will definitely not be soft when it is time to kill.

But some things are not just killing, killing people, and the follow-up things need someone to do.

Guozijian is the largest training base for Dali officials, although the students of Guozijian have no experience in being officials, but they are simple, and they are better than those old oilers in the officialdom.

That's why Qin Wei thought that when there was a shortage of people, let the students of Guozijian take over.

Of course, the students of Guozijian will definitely not be able to hold important positions at the beginning, such as the prefect of the county and the prefect, but it is still possible to be some second-level officials.

Yan Zhen bowed slightly, and said, "This matter will be arranged by the old man himself." ”

"That's very good." Qin Wei nodded.

Yan Zhen is an interesting person, and he has now understood that now in the Dali Court, Qin Wei's power is unstoppable.

Some things can be said, and some dissatisfaction can be mentioned, but what should be done must be done according to Qin Wei's requirements.
