Jiajing's heart was filled with excitement when he saw the thousands-word policy. Not only did it contain many things that resonated with his heart, but it also gave Jiajing a lot of inspiration and thinking.

For example, how to recruit soldiers? How to train soldiers? This has always been the weakness of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War is a civil service bureau, which is more general. They are mainly responsible for the promotion and merit examination of military attachés, as well as the allocation of food and grass. Although there are also drill methods, it is just

The civil servants emphasize teaching rather than skills, thinking that as long as they do what they want, the soldiers will do what they want. In fact, it is all false and empty, used to deceive people.

In fact, this thing is indeed very deceptive. At least no one in the court has questioned it for so many years. So after the Ming army arrived at Tumubao, a group of outstanding generals fell into the sand and began to sing a certain tune.

theory, this kind of theory does not pay attention to

It emphasizes the quality of officers and soldiers and combat drills, but focuses on loyalty and bravery. But the problem is that these things are all false. Who is loyal and who is traitorous, who is brave and who is cowardly, no one can tell the difference until the critical moment. The result

That is, if the masters say you are loyal and brave, then you will be loyal and brave.

And Xu Qian summarized a set of training methods. It is said that soldiers are more valuable than more elites. If there are too many soldiers, they will scatter and easily cause chaos. In fact, they no longer give food to train troops, but give silver to train troops, which greatly improves the enthusiasm of officers and soldiers.

Greatly simplify the military routines and practice day and night.

This kind of military training method has existed in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. In fact, it is nothing. But for the princes in the DPRK, this thing is obviously not to their liking. Jiajing squinted his eyes, and seemed to think it made sense.

, he is a very realistic person. Of course, a realistic person knows that a few empty words are of no use to Qiu Ba people. If they do not provide adequate protection, just a few words of national justice and a few words of benevolence, justice and etiquette will make people sacrifice their lives for you.

, this is simply a joke.

Xu Qian's Wanyan book was very detailed, and he also spent a lot of time on some details. Jiajing nodded secretly. When he went to look at other policy papers, they were already boring. In his opinion, Xu Qian's policy papers were too solid.

, In comparison, other policies and articles are too pragmatic and talk too much. What is the imperial edict to accuse the world of punishing the crimes of Japanese pirates, and what is said about soldiers who must be brave and everyone strives to be the first. To put it bluntly, this is empty talk.

To put it bluntly, Emperor Yingzong and Emperor Xiaozong would believe it, but people like Taizu, Emperor Wen and Jiajing would not believe it. Of course, Emperor Taizu, Emperor Wen and Jiajing were different. Although they did not believe it, they would advocate it. This is what is called

It is for political purposes to advocate such so-called empty talk while building a memorial arch at the same time, but it is still based on reality as to how you should do it.

But in the Jiajing Dynasty, the situation was different. Emperor Taizu and Emperor Wen could advocate it. In the early Ming Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Ming Army had always been at its peak, so it would not be harmful to advocate it. However, in the hands of Jiajing, the combat effectiveness of the Ming Army

It has become unbearable and rotten to the core, so to some extent, it is necessary to bring order to the chaos, otherwise something big will happen.

Therefore, the so-called emperor's mentality also needs to adapt to the conditions of the times and the local conditions. If Xu Qian's policy was sent to Taizu's imperial court, Emperor Taizu would definitely be deeply impressed by it and feel that the person who wrote this policy was very talented.

Practical learning, and then...then directly issued a decree to chop Xu Qian into mincemeat.

This is not because Emperor Taizu does not need talents like Xu Qian, but because the official army is only a part of politics, and Emperor Taizu needs to promote loyalty and bravery. Loyalty and bravery are the political correctness of Emperor Taizu. There is a guy who dares to question his political correctness.

, If you don’t chop, who will you chop?

Of course, Xu Qian would not be in danger of being minced into pieces when the same policies and documents were sent to Emperor Yingzong or Emperor Xiaozong. After all, in the hands of these two emperors, there was no need to use drastic means to establish prestige.

But Xu Qian's future is probably very limited. This is because Yingzong and Xiaozong have already believed in this theory, and even the emperor has believed it. If you come out and say you don't believe it, isn't this looking for death?

But in the hands of Jiajing, on the one hand, Jiajing is extremely smart and does not believe in such clichés; on the other hand, reality no longer allows him to continue to advocate such empty words and clichés. Jiajing's political correctness has transformed from empty words and clichés into reality.

It is no longer useful to add more. For the stability of the empire, restructuring must be carried out.

Xu Qian's memorial just suited Jiajing's taste, which was why Jiajing had so much trust in Xu Qian. His trust in Xu Qian was not because Xu Qian had any forward thinking, but because Xu Qian could always be consistent with his political correctness.

It coincided with each other. To put it bluntly, everyone's interests were in the same direction, and coupled with good personal relations, they finally gave him unlimited trust and enough holy support.

Jiajing squinted his eyes, raised his eyes and said slowly: "Ce Wen is very good, I have benefited a lot."

This is just empty talk, but empty talk is obviously Jiajing's specialty. Therefore, in a sense, Jiajing is a smart politician. Smart politicians are best at talking nonsense, boasting to the sky, and then...then do whatever they have to do.

Well, you

If you are fooled by politicians, it's not that you are unlucky or stupid, but that you have misunderstandings about politicians. You don't know that people only rely on their mouths to make a living. They often brag and show off to you, then they are worthy of you.

, what else do you want?

The faces of the Gongsheng students all showed joy. For them, today's palace examination was obviously an extraordinary experience. It was such a glorious thing to meet the Holy Spirit in person and receive His Majesty's approval.

Jiajing said again: "It is a national talent promotion ceremony, and all the students stand out. I am very pleased that I can get such talents. I think that Emperor Taizu founded the country, and our country has been in power for one hundred and fifty years..."

Immediately afterwards, Jiajing began to talk nonsense, talking about a stick of incense, saying nothing more than that you are very important, I am very happy, the Ming Dynasty needs you, and we must do what we can in the future.

Listening to these words, the Gongsheng students were naturally deeply encouraged and felt more and more wonderful. However, when Xu Qian heard them, they knew that Jiajing must be deceiving. In a sense, in the future, at least ten of these people would

Seven or eight of them will become a thorn in Jiajing's side and a thorn in his flesh. Even if I talk to you today, they may be on your list ten years from now.

When he got excited about it, Jiajing suddenly stopped talking and said with a straight face: "It is rare to have talented people. I will simply give you a test or two today."

It is said to be a school examination, but in fact it is an established procedure. This is the second level of the palace examination, which is more relaxed and casual. There are no restrictions on the questions.

The ten Gongsheng students immediately became excited. Whether they are mules or horses depends on the time of the next few sticks of incense. If you answer well, you will stand out and strive for the top spot. From now on, your future will be bright and you will have a better chance to rule the world!

Jiajing smiled slightly, then smiled at Huang Jin who was standing aside and said, "Huang Banban, bring it here."

Huang Jin nodded, then took out a box, opened it, and a piece of beautiful jade appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Jiajing smiled slightly again and said: "I am a casual person, so I will use this beautiful jade as my theme today. What can you do with this beautiful jade?"

Just tell the truth and you will win."

The Gongsheng students were confused. Someone stood up cautiously and bowed: "Your Majesty, since the topic is beautiful jade, should we use the eight-legged method to solve the problem?"

After all, Jiajing's question is too broad. If you take out a piece of jade and ask you to answer it, what should you answer? There must be a limit and a specific genre.

Jiajing smiled slightly and said: "That's right. Let's answer it later. Who comes first?"

Everyone looked at each other, unwilling to take the lead. Jiajing frowned and said calmly: "What, no one can answer?"

The Gongsheng student who asked the question before came forward, shook his head and said: "The student is not talented, he is showing his shame."

Huang Jin handed the beautiful jade into his hand. He looked over it several times, then frowned and said: "This piece of beautiful jade is indeed a royal object. It is made with fine workmanship and the jade material used is also the best. But there is something on this beautiful jade."

There is a flaw in the beautiful jade, and the student boldly breaks the topic: The emperor raises the beautiful jade to make a statement, and if you give it to someone who has stolen it, you will admire it."

The first sentence directly breaks the topic and is quite satisfactory. The general idea is that the emperor used beautiful jade as a metaphor for discussion, while the ministers privately admired and respected the quality of beautiful jade.

The Gong student went on to say: "Gaiyu is a gentleman, it is as gentle and moist as jade. It is a pity that beautiful jade has flaws. How can Zigong ignore what he said?"

The meaning of the second sentence is that beautiful jade has beautiful qualities, but now it has flaws, which is a great pity. Beautiful jade has flaws, just like a gentleman has flaws. Zigong once said that a gentleman has flaws that cannot be ignored.

This person is quite quick-witted and answers the questions quite cleverly. However, this is the most common answer. Jade is originally used to describe a gentleman. This jade is used as a metaphor for a gentleman. In the end, he came to the conclusion that a beautiful jade is flawless and a gentleman is also flawless.

The answer seemed ordinary, but it also showed the profound knowledge of this Gong student.

Jiajing nodded slightly in approval and said, "Not bad, what's your name?"

The Gongsheng said: "Student Zhu Yan."

Jiajing muttered something and seemed to remember the name, which made Zhu Yan secretly happy, knowing that this answer was favored by the emperor.

He was the first person to try something, and he immediately made other Gongsheng students realize that they have to answer questions as early as possible. You see, if you answer the questions late, the scope of your answer will become smaller and smaller. Now they have already taken the answer.

Beautiful jade is compared to a gentleman. This beautiful jade can no longer be used to describe a gentleman in answering questions.

So a second person immediately stood up and said quickly: "Students answer the questions..."

Most of the people in this hall are elites, their IQs are definitely not low, and they are all well-educated people. For them, answering such questions is actually not difficult. Although they have to perform on the spot, which slightly increases the difficulty, it is not difficult.

Feeling overwhelmed, everyone rushed out to answer questions, which was quite lively. Jiajing seemed to be quite satisfied with everyone, and gave encouragement and praise to everyone, making the atmosphere in the palace more relaxed.
