Chapter 180 Set up a school of senior officials, Ming must rejuvenate!

   "Ben Hou agrees with Chen Butang's point of view."

   Zhang Gui said something at this time, saying: "Confining the world with Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism will only make Daming only bad people and idiots, and idiots are naturally easy to be fooled by bad people, which will damage the people of the country;"

   "In this way, the Ming Dynasty must be hopeless, and the country must be hard to protect. It must be like the previous dynasties, because the people are dying!"

   "And enlightening the people with wisdom can at least make it difficult for most people to be fooled by bad people. Now that we want to liquidate the gentry, we must make it difficult for the people to be fooled, the truth not to be distorted, and justice not to be smeared!"

  "Only in this way can the king and the people share the world and make the people stand by our side."

Yuan Keli said with a smile: "Nowadays the ceremonies of the Ming Dynasty have collapsed, and many systems are really out of date. For example, the original suzerain-vassal system, even many clan children themselves are unwilling to follow it. Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism may no longer be the official school. I also admit that if you really want the people to join the court in liquidating the gentry, you have to enlighten the wisdom of the people, and if you want to enlighten the wisdom of the people, you can’t just let them be Cheng Zhu’s disciples.”

   "Forget it, since that's the case, I don't have any objections, as long as it can really revitalize Daming, that's enough."

  Han Yu also replied.

  Zhang Gui said again: "To educate the people, more people must be willing to do this."

   "So, we have to get more scholars who are willing to cultivate and educate the people. We must have many scholars who share the same thinking in this regard."

"Xilin Academy is doing this right now, but the Xilin Academy is not enough, the imperial court also has to do it, such as setting up a school of senior officials, selecting young officials to enter the school, teaching this aspect of thinking, and also allowing new subjects to become scholars first Go to the school for training. In this way, the folks have the Xilin Academy, and the imperial court has the Senior Political Academy, which can prepare for further reforms in the future, and can also cultivate more scholars who are willing to open up the wisdom of the people."

   "The matter of setting up a school of senior management is left to me."

  Yuan Keli said.

  Chen Zizhuang said: "Then I still use the "Daming Daily" to directly influence the world's scholars through newspapers, and guide them to Xilin Academy to receive new studies."

   Han Yu also said: "I will help you to identify which young officials are suitable for entering the Zizheng Academy based on the memorials from various places, as the pillars of ZTE in the future!"

   "If the Zizheng School can really be established, then Xichang will only select government schools from the graduates of Xilin Academy, Armed Forces School, and Zizheng School."

   Zhang Gui said at this time.

   "The same goes for Dongchang!"

  At this time, Wei Zhongxian walked in and said something.

  Seeing this, Zhang Gui smiled and said, "It's better this way."

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "Naturally, the East Factory has to be on par with the West Factory. Besides, our family also understands that according to the current situation, we gathered together because of the restructuring. The purpose is to revive Daming. If Daming fails , then all of us will die without a place to bury us. Only Daming can really rejuvenate, and our talents will not be infamous through the ages! Especially for the emperor who decided all this! So, how can our family Not doing my best."

  Yuan Keli asked at this time: "Eunuch Wei, did your Majesty call us for something?"

  Wei Zhongxian suppressed his smile: "That's right, the emperor has a decree. Tomorrow, the Palace of Qinzheng will discuss the suppression of the rebellion!"

   "At that time, someone will use this to criticize reform and reform."

   At this time, Chen Zizhuang said.

  Zhang Guidao: "It's okay, the soldiers will come and cover the water with soil."

  …

  The next day, Qinzheng Hall, noon court.

Tianqi first took out a newspaper "Ming Li Bao" created by the rebels himself, and said: "This is a rebel newspaper that has been circulated to the capital. It has already published an article addressing Lin Gan, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry and Industry, to support the difficulty of King Lu's dedication to Tianjing. This Lingan is a famous person, which means that the Daming Mansion has also been occupied by the rebels, so it can be seen that the rebels are quite powerful this time, do you have any suggestions?"

   "Your Majesty, I have the courage to say that the rebel army is in a state of invincibility now, and it is all because of the court's lack of benevolence and righteousness that the offensive and defensive forces are different!"

  The Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zhou Yingqiu, had been punished for accepting bribes from Wu Xing, and Wang Yongguang replaced Zhou Yingqiu as the new Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

   "Why is the court not benevolent and righteous?"

   Tianqi frowned and asked.

Wang Yongguang replied: "Qizou Your Majesty, the new policies implemented by the imperial court are too strict and disturb the people, but they do not implement benevolence! This makes the people lose their hearts and the rebels gain power. Therefore, based on the humble opinion of the ministers, the imperial court You can't collect money from the treasury without caring about the sufferings of the people, this will only cause turmoil in the world!"

   "The minister only hopes that His Majesty will order the factory guards to be restrained in time, to support the gentry, and not to strictly enforce the recruitment. If this is the case, the rebellion will disappear."

   Tianqi suddenly stood up in a deep voice: "Do you mean that it is wrong to make a rich country and a strong army?!"

   "Your Majesty!"

  Wang Yongguang prostrated himself on the ground, and said: "I am also thinking about your country! What's more, the current situation of the rebel army is enough to see people's support. Your Majesty, why are you still obsessed with it!"

"Your Majesty, what Otsuka said is indeed true. Now the imperial court is too strict with scholars and regards them as thieves. How can this not make the people of the world chill? After all, scholars are the heads of the four peoples, and everyone in the world respects scholars. , and the imperial court needs scholars to rule the common people even more, now that the imperial court wants to enrich the country and strengthen the army, if it blindly offends the gentry, it is naturally offending the people of the world!"

   University scholar Zhu Guozuo also followed suit, and said: "That's why the rebels are quite popular now, and everyone responds!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the fact that the rebel army is so popular today is because the New Deal is too harsh on the gentry. After all, the imperial court governs the world with the gentry, not with the common people. The people also want to change because of this, so how can a mere vassal king become a force for rebellion?"

   "It is better for the imperial court to practice benevolent government. A rich country should take thrift as its law, not take advantage of the people. Otherwise, it will only backfire."

   "What's more, the system left by the ancestors has been verified. It is a good governance that can ensure peace. Changing it easily will only backfire!"

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, you should not talk about reforming the system within twenty years! If you want to change it, it will be twenty years later when you are more experienced. Now, the villain will only let the villain take advantage of the opportunity for profit, and To flatter the country by reforming the law and reforming the system will bring the country into turmoil!"

  Censor Mao Yujian also started talking.

   "Your Majesty! The new policy is to make up for what's not enough, and it's not just to make up for what's not enough. It's also developing new technologies to benefit the people of the world."

   "The old minister believes that even if the gentry are dissatisfied with the New Deal, it is not enough for everyone in the world to be dissatisfied with the New Deal. The so-called rebels won the hearts of some rentiers."

   "And most of these rentiers are unproductive producers. Even if they are more talented than Zijian and wiser than Zhuge, as long as the manpower and material resources they control are not opponents of the imperial court, the imperial court can still put down the rebellion!"

   Zhang Gui refuted the views of these people at this time.

   "Your Majesty, I also believe that the so-called New Deal is unpopular is a fallacy!"

   "When the Minister of Commerce came to Beijing in the past, he said that the New Deal is very popular. And your Majesty, you personally visited Suizhou last year and saw that the New Deal is not unpopular."

   "As for the fact that the rebel army is powerful now, in my opinion, it's just that the rebel army is good at demagoguery."

   "The minister thinks that instead of blaming the power of the rebel army for being unpopular, it is better to attribute it to the fact that some evil gentry who abandoned the country and family for their own benefit colluded with the rebel army to confuse the local people."

  Chen Zizhuang also opposed it, and directly refuted the so-called view that the rebels won the hearts of the people.

Yuan Keli also followed up and said: "I seconded the proposal! The places captured by the rebels have not yet implemented the New Deal, so we can't directly explain how unpopular the New Deal is. Unless, the people of Suizhou also followed suit. But Your Majesty, you personally visited Suizhou, do you think the people of Suizhou will cause trouble?"

Then, Yuan Keli continued: "My old minister believes that the fact that the rebellion is strong this time cannot be said to be due to the unpopularity of the New Deal. It should be like what Chen Shilang said, there are evil gentry who have no sense of national righteousness, and only have the desire to protect their own interests." Therefore, when they heard that the rebels rebelled because of the New Deal, they also rebelled because of the New Deal, and after all, such people are a minority compared with all the soldiers and people in the world.”

   "It's just that the current rebel army is powerful. Although it is related to the lack of righteousness of the country by many evil gentry, it is also related to the corruption or incompetence of local officials themselves. Therefore, I believe that the education of officials should be strengthened!"

"The minister suggested that the establishment of a school of senior officials should allow the Ministry of Officials to select excellent officials for further study to improve their cognition and ability. It is very big, with two capitals and thirteen provinces, how can you make the world peaceful and even prosperous with only a few capable ministers?"

"allow!"

  Tianqi is not stupid, so he naturally does not believe that the rebels are powerful because the New Deal is unpopular, so he still chooses to support the reformists, and accepts Yuan Keli's advice to set up a senior political school to strengthen ideological education and ability education for officials.

   Then, Tian Qi said again: "I have decided to lead a large army to fight in person to quell the rebellion!"

   "Your Majesty! In this case, I can only resign!"

  At this time, a minister shouted.

  Tianzi Xunsheng looked over.
