Chapter 407: Replacement of the Old and the New

"Do you dislike the environment of official school, or do you dislike something?"

Because Zhu Zhanyan has been in the palace since he was a child, Zhu Gaoxu thought that he skipped school because he disliked the official school environment.

"No......" Zhu Zhanyan lowered his head and whispered: "You said they didn't know my identity, but as soon as I went, they said that I and the second child were the emperor's grandsons, and they came up to scold us one by one." ”

"That's why I skipped school with my second child, but we learned on our own as we were interested."

Before Zhu Zhanyu entered the official school, Zhu Gaoxu told him that no one in the official school knew him, and he could make friends in the official school to his heart's content.

However, the reality is that after he studied at the official school last year, on the first day of enrollment, his identity spread to all the official schools in Beijing, and the powerful people from all walks of life blocked the official school where their children went to Zhu Zhan to study, and everyone came to him to show their goodwill.

In such an environment, Zhu Zhanqi naturally couldn't read, so he chose to take Zhu Zhanqi to skip school, stay in a private room in the teahouse in the inner city every day, and read those textbooks according to his interests.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect that this truancy was because of this kind of thing, so his face softened.

"You said you learn on your own with your interest, so what if you don't?"

"Then hire someone to teach us." Zhu Zhanyan saw that Zhu Gaoxu's tone had softened, so he also raised his voice to reply.

"Second ......" Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Zhanqi, Zhu Zhanqi looked at Zhu Zhanqi when he heard this, and saw that Zhu Zhanqi didn't look at him, so he whispered: "That's the case." ”

"Can you hire someone to teach you?" Zhu Gaoxu frowned, but Zhu Zhanyan said, "I feel that they are better than the official school." ”

"Them?" Zhu Gaoxu was puzzled, could it be that Zhu Zhanyu hired a group of people?

"Yes, they!" Zhu Zhan Yan replied honestly: "I heard them say that they are all candidates waiting for the imperial examination, and when they come to the capital to live for a long time, they are short of money, so they come to make up classes with our powerful children to earn money. ”

"Although they have a lot of make-up classes, the classes are taught separately, so they can teach five or six people alone."

"How much does it cost?" Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect that even cram schools appeared, although it was still in a personal way.

"100 articles a day." Zhu Zhanyan's voice couldn't help but be a little quieter, but after listening to it, Zhu Gaoxu admired this group of candidates who dared to help others make up for classes.

If according to Zhu Zhanyan's words, one person is responsible for five or six people, which means that they have at least 100 yuan in their accounts every day, which is three yuan a month and 36 yuan a year.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but be speechless, he knew the average wage of the people in Nanjing today.

Even after ten years of vigorous development, the average wage in Nanjing has only risen from 20 wen a day during the Hongwu period to 25 wen today.

In other words, a candidate preparing for the imperial examination can earn four or five laborers just by making up classes.

Moreover, judging from Zhu Zhanyan's description, this situation is not unique.

"Are you starting to pay attention to government education......

Obviously, although the hundred officials did not want the imperial court to implement a new policy in Jiangnan, they also knew that the new policy would inevitably be implemented in Jiangnan.

Therefore, they openly resist the New Deal, but in private they learn faster than anyone else.

But that's fine, if they keep eating the old, then being swallowed up by the New Deal will be the result.

Now that they are studying with the New Deal faction, and they are proficient in Confucianism, I am afraid that the two sides will fight for a long time in terms of the quality of the officials of the New Deal faction.

Thinking about it like this, Zhu Gaoxu was also relieved, and set his eyes on Zhu Zhanyan and the two brothers.

"Your identities have been revealed, which I didn't consider, but why didn't you come to me?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked Zhu Zhanyan, but Zhu Zhanyan said: "I can't see you at all on weekdays, and my mother doesn't allow us to come to the Chunhe Palace to quarrel with you, so how can I tell you?" ”

"But it's my problem." Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said calmly:

"Since you can't go to official school, you can continue to make up classes outside, it's not good to stay in the palace all the time."

"In your spare time, you can also go to the countryside outside the city, after all, you haven't seen much of it."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't think it was necessary to let the two boys go to the fields to show off like Zhu Zhanji in history, for the emperor who had the people in his heart, he didn't have to farm and knew the hardships of the peasants, and he would be exempted from taxes, instead of being like Zhu Zhanji, talking about the people's suffering, while paying taxes or something.

Huang Fuyi and Zhu Zhanji's words are really not wrong.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu leaned forward: "Go back." ”

After he finished speaking, he said to Yisha: "You are tired these days, help me take care of them, and if there is anything wrong, clean up for me immediately." ”

"If you don't fight, I'll fight you."

When Zhu Gaoxu said this, Zhu Zhanqi and Zhu Zhanqi immediately turned pale.

"The slave maid takes the order...... "Yisha sighed helplessly, and after returning the salute, he led the two naughty boys out of the Spring and Palace.

After they left, Zhu Gaoxu also returned to his position and continued to deal with the music.

However, compared with the prosaic nature of the supreme power, the officials in the capital who are below the supreme power seem to be a little hesitant.

"The implementation of the new policy will be carried out until Zheng He arrives in Nanjing, but fortunately, we have thoroughly eaten the official school textbooks, and even if the children in our hometown change the textbooks, they can still guarantee the high school of the imperial examination."

In the water pavilion of the mansion not far from the imperial city, as Xie Jin took a sip of the teacup, his words were also recognized by Yang Shiqi, Hu Guang, Hu Yan, Jin Youzi and others.

"As for the measurement of acres of land implemented by the New Deal, as long as we remove it cleanly, there will be no problem, it will be cheaper than the East Palace."

"In addition, Li Zhigang's guy thought it would be okay to give up his position, but now I think that he is probably just a pawn of His Majesty to deal with Ji Gang."

"As long as something happens to Ji Gang, the officials who bribed him at the beginning will be punished, and Li Zhigang will not be able to escape ......"

Xie Jin said this, but Yang Shiqi frowned and said, "We don't have to chase and beat Li Zhigang, he has already gone into the wild anyway." ”

"Who knows when it will come back?" Xie Jin asked Yang Shiqi rhetorically, and Yang Shiqi also fell silent when he heard this.

"I think Your Majesty should think about cleaning up the discipline and using this to rectify Nanzhili and Zhejiang."

"We can seize this opportunity and use the matter of overthrowing Ji Gang to clean up the group of people in Lianghuai and Zhedong."

He squinted, as if he had already thought of how to target Ji Gang.

It's just that he didn't know that not long after his words were finished, they were passed on to Ji Gang's ears.

"Bang!"

The teacup was smashed on the table, and Ji Gang, who had just returned home to rest, gritted his teeth: "I haven't cleaned him up yet, they actually dare to think about cleaning me up." ”

"Godfather, what now?" A brocade guard thousand household officials are in charge of Ji Gang, but he is much older than Ji Gang.

"I don't believe they don't have any handles, so isn't Xie Jin repairing books?"

"Find someone to put something in, I don't believe I can't clean them up."

Ji Gang's face was hideous: "Send someone else to tell Chen Ying, as long as you have the handle, don't have any scruples, and impeach them for me." ”

"Xie Jin...... Don't think that after reading the sage books for a few years, you can beat Lao Tzu! ”

"Yes!" Qianhu officials responded, and slowly retreated under Ji Gang's nose.

After he left, the water in the entire capital began to be deliberately muddy, and all this was told to Zhu Di by Wang Yan.

When the news came, Zhu Di was finishing the government affairs of the West Corner Gate and had just come to the banquet hall.

Looking at Empress Xu's Zi Palace, Zhu Di put the yellow paper in his hand into the brazier, and his face was cloudy.

"Let them make trouble, if the second child can't clean it up, I'll come out and clean it up again."

"Yes......" Wang Yan withdrew from the hall with his head bowed, and after he left, only Zhu Di who kept burning yellow paper was left.

In the following time, Jiang Zuo continued to attack Ji Gang, and Ji Gang also joined Chen Ying to block them one by one.

Regarding these news, Zhu Gaoxu just listened to it, and did not end immediately, because the current fire is not big enough, and even if it burns, it will not burn the amount he wants.

These days, he is constantly mixing private goods into the "Yongle Canon", and all kinds of historical books written in the pre-Qin tone are stuffed into the "Yongle Canon".

His actions were seen by Yao Guangxiao, but the old monk didn't say anything, and he didn't even look through the catalogs of the books he mixed in.

After all, as far as the book list is concerned, there are more than 20,000 volumes of books that need to be written, 60 volumes of catalogs alone, at least 10,000 volumes, and nearly 8,000 kinds of ancient and modern books.

With such a large workload, the old monk was too busy to touch the ground, but although Xie Jin was named the "first talent", he did not intervene in the completion of the book.

"Your Royal Highness, this Xie Jin only let the people below copy it, even if the content of it is an impeachment of the imperial court, he will ignore it, if these contents are compiled into the "Class Book", wouldn't it make future generations laugh?"

At the beginning of February, after a month of book revision work, Sun Cheng finally endured his work attitude and chose to sue Zhu Gaoxu.

In Zhu Gaoxu's memory, Sun Cheng was a very good-tempered person, and now he was actually angry by Xie Jin, which made him feel very interesting.

"Tell me more about how he didn't care about it......"

Zhu Gaoxu asked curiously, and when Sun Cheng saw this, he also told Xie Jin and the work attitude of the group of people under his command.

"This group of people prides themselves on being a clear stream, but they will only ask questions, put forward problems for the people below to solve, and they don't solve them when they know that they have solved them, and finally push the problem to our side, let us solve it, and ...... the other"

Sun Cheng said angrily, and as he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu felt that something was wrong.

He suddenly felt that Xie Jin's so-called Qingliu was not the group of people who always liked to point out the country in the company and unit in later generations, and asked unrealistic questions as a result.

Looking at it this way, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered a certain TV series in his previous life.

In that TV series, except for Zhang Juzheng who will think of some ways in Qingliu, others are only responsible for dismantling the stage, not solving the problem.

To put it bluntly, the clear stream on the mouth is just a gesture of struggle, pretending to be a good person.

This kind of person has always existed from ancient times to the present, whether it is officialdom or the people, there is always no shortage of this kind of person who is good at rhetoric, pointing out problems but not providing advice.

Thinking about it this way, Zhu Gaoxu also felt quite right.

When Sanyang became a scholar of the Imperial Palace, did they know that during the Xuande period, they needed to reduce the pressure of the people and the pressure of the military households?

They know, but if they don't say or do, and if they don't say or do, Zhu Zhanji will naturally not take the initiative to choose to adjust.

On the contrary, after Huang Fu beat Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji immediately came to his senses, made several local exemptions, and organized the last trip to the West.

"I know about them, I will increase the number of book repairers on your side and reduce the number of book repairers on their side."

"All you have to do is stuff the books I prepared into it."

Zhu Gaoxu confessed to Sun Cheng, and when Sun Cheng saw that he had received a response, he also gave up his hand angrily: "The minister retreated." ”

"Stand down, don't break your body for this kind of popularity, he won't be happy for a few years." Zhu Gaoxu comforted Sun Cheng, and when Sun Cheng heard this, most of his depression suddenly dissipated.

After he left the Chunhe Palace, he also said to Zhu Gaoxu: "Your Highness, a letter has come from Guangzhou, and Zheng He has arrived in Guangzhou." ”

"Good!" Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu breathed a sigh of relief, and Yishuha also asked:

"Your Highness, if Zheng He comes back, will you really want to implement a new policy for Jiangnan?"

"Nature." Zhu Gaoxu didn't think about it, but he hesitated: "If it is really implemented, then just the officials and teachers of the new policy will exceed 30 million." ”

"Imperial Court ...... Can you get the money? ”

Yiha's worries are not unreasonable, after all, the current Ming Dynasty's annual financial disadvantage is only more than 30 million.

If the new policy is implemented in Jiangnan, the Ming Dynasty will have a negative expenditure of at least 20 million yuan, and this money will be eaten by the Ming Dynasty at most Zhu Yuanzhang and the two-year old book that went to the West.

In that case, what about two years from now?

"You check the ratio of teaching to students in Bohai, Liaodong and Shandong this year."

Zhu Gaoxu did not answer directly, but asked Yizha to look through the book.

Yisha walked to the bookshelf in confusion, and after looking for it, he took out the booklet and opened it, just flipping through it a little and then talking on the spot.

"See, right?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked Yizha, and Yizha looked at the document book when he heard this, and then looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and was speechless for a long time.

Instead, Zhu Gaoxu calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said at the same time:

"The largest number of students in Shandong have graduated, and as soon as they graduate, most of them will have to face a situation where there are no students to teach."

"The number of such teachings is about 160,000, and their income is 3.2 million, accounting for half of the entire new political education and training."

"If they are thrown into Jiangnan, then they can solve the problem of at least two million students."

"On this basis, as long as tens of thousands of teachers are recruited, the teaching problem in Jiangnan can be solved, so it will not cost 30 million at all."

The shortage of teacher resources is often caused by too many students.

However, with the graduation of the first and second batches of millions of students in Liaodong and Shandong, most of the teaching needs to face the normal number of more than 100,000 or 200,000 students in various places.

The teaching situation in various places has also developed from more than 40 people in a class to more than a dozen people in a class today.

In such a situation, in fact, many teachers are ready to find other paths, and even many teachers with a keen sense of smell voluntarily quit their jobs and go to secondary schools shortly after the promulgation of secondary schools.

"What is the number of secondary school registrations this year, and how many are attending?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked Yi Shuha, and Yi Shuha also took the Chinese book in his hand and rummaged for a while, and finally reported: "The news of this year's registration has not yet been reported to the capital, and according to previous years, it should be in April before it can be summarized." ”

"As for the number of students enrolled in secondary schools, the book says more than 46,700."

"Hmm." Zhu Gaoxu bowed his head, and then said: "This group of people has a sensitive sense of smell, but those who are not sensitive will suffer ......."

"Bitter?" Yisha was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "You're not going to throw these 160,000 people into Jiangnan?" ”

"The benefits of the New Deal cannot always be given to a group of people." Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "But I won't kill them in one go, they still have a chance to keep up." ”

"You prepare, the official school in the world began to announce, starting from this year, the official school will be changed to a primary school, the first month of each year is the month of teaching and learning, and the assessment is once every five years, if you don't pass the exam, you can't continue to teach."

"As for the content of the test papers, it is mainly based on the content of secondary schools."

Zhu Gaoxu was going to give food to the more than 40,000 people in the middle school, and as for the more than 200,000 teachers, they were destined to be eliminated by 160,000.

Zhu Gaoxu admitted that they contributed to the Ming Dynasty in the promotion of official learning, but in the final analysis, they were taught and trained in five years, and their own knowledge reserves were not consolidated.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty needs to change from low-quality teaching to high-quality, but the financial support does not support the retention of the original low-quality teaching, so it can only eliminate low-quality and use high-quality.

This 160,000 teachers will not be eliminated in one go, but will be eliminated year by year.

Zhu Gaoxu estimated that there will be only five years left in this process, and by then the first batch of more than 20,000 students in middle school will also graduate, and he will be able to deal with more than 200,000 students if he is dispatched.

Not only that, but the number of junior high school graduates will also increase year by year, just like the government school in the past.

But it's a pity that Zhu Gaoxu's own knowledge reserve can be maintained at most at the level of middle school.

Taixue will be transformed into a scientific research college, and general education will be carried out in primary and secondary schools.

After that, the students of Taixue had to continue to invent and create, gradually increasing the thickness of the textbooks, and then they were separated from the university.

Whether Zhu Gaoxu can see it on this day, he personally does not know.

"If these 160,000 people are eliminated, where will they go?"

Yisha only felt that his mouth was dry, which was related to the lives of 160,000 households and nearly one million people.

"They have also saved some money over the years, and if they want to continue, they will study in secondary school at their own expense, and when they study in secondary school and have enough knowledge to continue to teach in primary and secondary schools, then they can naturally continue to teach."

"In the whole world, the number of teachings required is only about 400,000, but the imperial court can only support about 20."

Zhu Gaoxu's approach is a bit ruthless, but the reality is like this, Daming can't support so many teachings.

If he wants to raise more than 200,000 teachers, he will definitely be willing to raise more than 200,000 middle school graduates, not primary school graduates, after all, the former teaches students with more quality at all.

"Slave maid go do it now......"

Yizha was a little embarrassed, and the conversation between the two of them decided the jobs of more than 100,000 people.

This is good news for those who have graduated from high school.

But for those who have graduated from elementary school, this is bad news enough to fall into the sky.

It is foreseeable that after the news of this incident is released, it will definitely cause a lot of repercussions, but Zhu Gaoxu is ready.

With the current productivity, he can only improve the quality of teaching to train more students who can read and write at a low cost.

Only when the number of students is large, can he know whether the mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge he disseminates can make Daming invent more things.

Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head and continued to deal with the music, and the truth was as he expected.

Soon after the decree of the East Palace was issued, many officials of the New Deal faction began to dislodge.

Most of the current teachers are their relatives and friends, and some are even their teachers.

It is true that looking back now, the quality of their teaching is very poor, and in the middle of the lecture, you have to turn to the book to find the content to explain.

But the problem is that after all, they are relatives and friends of the officials, and they are also good helpers for them to train students to participate in the imperial examination.

Zhu Gaoxu noticed what some people in the New Deal faction had already noticed, because after failing to see the results from above, they began to change direction, using Zheng He's imminent return as an excuse to ask the imperial court to start implementing a new policy against Jiangnan.

With the population market in Jiangnan, 160,000 teachers can be taught locally.

For a time, the entire capital became muddy in the mutual impeachment of Xinzheng, Jiangzuo, Jiangdong, Zhedong, and Jinyiwei, and this is the situation that Zhu Gaoxu wants to see......
