Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was pounding. This was the first time he heard such remarks.

Moreover, it came from Li Yanxi’s mouth.

You know, Li Yanxi is one of the greatest Confucian scholars in the world and a representative of literati. If he says this, isn't he going against himself?

"This statement is too much!" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly: "As you said, isn't the imperial examination a bad thing?"

"The imperial examination is naturally a good thing. It suppresses powerful people, recruits poor people, and recruits officials for the country. It gives hope to most people.

However, the state gives too much favor to the intellectuals with a good reputation. This favor is a good thing, but in the long run, something more terrifying than the clan will inevitably breed."

Li Yanxi looked at the floor, her face as sinking as water, "Every small family is more terrifying than a large family.

Therefore, Wei Chen wants to give more people a way out."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think of the content of his previous chat with Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun talked about the roots of the turmoil in the world, the reasons for the turmoil in the dynasty, and also talked about the advantages and disadvantages of preferential treatment for scholars.

"We didn't expect that that bastard's nonsense could actually persuade you!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Truth requires practice, and there are traces to follow in everything. Daye was not the first person to treat scholars favorably. The problem had already been seen in the first two dynasties.

Great things are done for good, but in the final analysis, it is still a matter of changing the soup without changing the medicine.

It's not the Weichen who persuaded His Highness, but the Weichen who couldn't win the argument against His Highness, and then took the initiative to read the books and think about it.

Finally came to this conclusion.

If we want to completely eliminate this area, we must make the land state-owned, and we can give preferential treatment to scholars, but we cannot give excessive preferential treatment!"

"Land is state-owned?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Know!"

"If word gets out, do you know how many people will impeach you?"

"Wei Chen knows." Li Yanxi cupped his hands and said, "If Daye does not want to repeat the same mistakes and cross the threshold of three hundred years of dynasty, it must take a new path."

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a complicated mood. As a representative of the scholars, Li Yanxi was against himself. How did he say it?

"Don't let what you say today reach the ears of a third person." Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and said: "We won't allow you to resign, but you don't have to come to class anymore.

We will keep an eye on the literary journal.

Also, as for the diploma level, you come up with a discount.

If it’s feasible, it’s not like we can’t help!”

If the imperial examination is one trump card, then the diploma may be another trump card.

The imperial court must keep this in its hands.

It's better to let them do it now. If they fail, there will be no loss to the court.

If successful, there will be one more way to obtain official positions in the imperial court.

And it can greatly win over the world's literati.

What is the title?

It's power, it's profit, it's reputation, it's future.

A diploma can also improve the worth of those who are unsuccessful in their studies, which is a good thing!

Li Yanxi thought for a while, "I thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Li Yanxi retreated, Zhu Di came. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di and said, "Is something wrong?"

"Father, I have come to ask for my resignation." Zhu Di said with a smile: "Li Chenggui can't wait to go back and dispatch troops and generals to cut off the connection between Meng Yuan and Gao Li.

My son, I must go back as soon as possible."

"Don't act rashly!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

He knew very well that Zhu Di had always wanted to take action, but he had never agreed.

"Father, this is an excellent opportunity." Zhu Di said: "I am confident that I can launch a fatal blow to Yingchang!"

"One move affects the whole body. We received news that Yingchang sent people to Chang'an this year, and it seems that they have reached cooperation with Zhang Zhou.

Once you take action, Chang'an will send troops, do you understand?" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Li Chenggui and his son are dedicated to our great cause, and we are very satisfied.

That's why they were given the title of king.

However, the power of the Li family and his son was still too small. They were caught in the middle and suffered from enemies from both sides.

The Japanese island country has colluded with King Gaoli. Once they take action, our great cause will not be one against two, but one against four.

Once the situation collapses, Ying Chang can counterattack, do you understand?"

Why did the Three Kingdoms remain unchanged for ten years?

The reason is here.

Zhu Yuanzhang hated Chen Han, but privately, he had to form an alliance with Chen Han. If Zhang Zhou sent troops, Chen Han's army would directly detain Zhang Zhou's border.

The three parties are hostile, but they contain each other.

The remnants of the Meng Yuan army are more like a tempting piece of fat that everyone wants to take a bite of.

Everyone knows that if you capture the remnants of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, you will be the leader of the world, but who has this ability?

"I understand!" Zhu Di said: "I sincerely ask my father to give me a batch of Dingding. With the Dingding, I am sure to win this battle and completely drive the Mongolians out of Liaodong."

"Your eldest brother is in charge of Dingding." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "And these artifacts must be given priority to the imperial army. I don't know how many generals have requested us.

Moreover, it is not cheap to make and not easy to make.”

Zhu Di knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely find various excuses to shirk it. He just came here to test it out, but he was not disappointed at all. "Father, I think that priority should be given to supplying border goods.

After all, the presence of this thing can also deter the enemy!"

"We can only make our own conclusion on this matter. When Lao Liu makes it, we will ask him to give you a batch!" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This time, you did well, what reward do you want?"

Zhu Di held up his hand and said, "This is my responsibility. I don't need any reward!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, "Let's do this. The court will allocate another 50,000 taels to you."

Zhu Di did not refuse. The more money, the better. "Thank you, Father!"

Leaving Fengtian Hall, Zhu Di sneered in his heart. He wanted to go to the East Palace, but after thinking about it, he held back.

After waiting for a while, he was writing a memorial. The power of this Dingding was so great that it would definitely equip the entire army.

Moreover, he also has Lao Liu.

When Lao Liu gets the formula, he can produce as much as he wants.

When the time came, he directly destroyed Meng Yuan and beat him with Gao Li.

Zhang Zhou is a threat, but with Dingding, he is no longer afraid!

Bear with me any longer!

Zhu Di thought so.

This time when he returned to Beijing, he didn't even mention Zhu Yu's legs because the heat was not enough.

The prince has been in a wheelchair for a year and has never stood up. Some people are already complaining in their hearts, but it is not enough.

As time goes by, more and more people will become suspicious.

When the time is right, he will return with a great victory.

...

At this time, north of the city.

The shops in the Trade City have been sold out. Although only half of them were sold, all the initial investment was recovered and even made a profit of 60,000 to 70,000 taels.

He plans to rent out the rest of the shop, and he can rent it out for 10,000 to 20,000 taels a year, which is more cost-effective than a one-time buyout.

At that time, we will also collect property fees, garbage fees, etc., which will be another small amount of income.

No matter how you calculate this account, it is a profit.
