There was no basic education in Daliang. In the feudal era, elite education was actually implemented. Disciples from poor families such as Cui Li, Lu Jun, and Feng Bogong, as long as they could study, they were the elite.
Ordinary people could not afford to miss out on making money if they were illiterate, so the status of scholars was particularly high.
"If you don't have enough gentlemen, why don't you do anything? Cui Qing, you are an elite of the aristocratic family. I have opinions about the aristocratic family, and everyone in the world knows it. However, the aristocratic family cannot be said to have made no contribution to the country. This is what I give
An opportunity for the aristocratic family.”
"If your family has no disciples, please come and be my teachers!"
After thinking for a moment that this was unfair to a poor family, Zhu Youde looked at Feng Bogong and said: "All outstanding students in the world can become teachers, with a monthly salary of thirty taels. If they participate in the imperial examination and provincial examination to select officials, those who have been teachers will be promoted on the basis of merit.
Those who have outstanding disciples will be rewarded, my lord."
What!?
What!?
In the morning, all the officials were a little dazed, but they understood that the treatment offered by Zhu Youde was definitely preferential treatment.
Money or not is a trivial matter. The key point is to select officials and train outstanding disciples to give them bounties and titles.
The title system of Daliang generally refers to Duke, Bozinan, but in fact there is another level, Lord.
It's just that this title is too small, it's just an honorary title, and it's awarded to those who have meritorious service.
However, you can also face the official directly without kneeling when meeting him.
Although there is no salary, the court still has some benefits. This kind of title is useless to Cui Li and others, but it is too valuable for those scholars and people with a bit of fame.
This is identity.
Don't people only have an identity when they are alive? After death, they can be engraved on tombstones. When they are alive, they should be recorded in local chronicles in case they become famous or envoys?
The only real benefit of being a Lord is that he can be exempted from labor service, no longer accept free labor from the court, and has certain tax benefits.
Feng Bogong immediately understood that the emperor was using fame and fortune to seduce those who were interested.
This can be considered a pit. If you fall in, you can't escape.
But he agreed.
"Your Majesty, I think it is feasible, and those who have merit should be rewarded."
"Yes, starting from this year, I will select outstanding gentlemen from all over the country to be considered Daliang Guoshi and give them the title of Guoshi, similar to the family status of Jinshi."
Feng Bogong blinked, feeling that he heard wrongly, Emperor, are you kidding again?
It was given casually to those from a Jinshi family.
In the three-year major examination, only over a hundred people were selected for Jinshi. There were tens of thousands of candidates across the country, and there were just over a hundred Jinshi. It really took only one out of a hundred to be qualified to become a Jinshi.
From now on, if you teach well, you will be a national scholar.
You are insulting the country's nobles!
"I don't agree!" After Feng Bogong said this, he looked at Zhu Youde, waiting for the storm, with a firm look on his face, as if he was ready to die.
"It's so difficult for students to get the Jinshi family. It takes ten years of hard work to get a chance. Even if you get the Jinshi family, you may not be able to become a national scholar. Your Majesty can easily reward you with so many rewards. Will a national scholar still be a national scholar in the future?"
Zhu Youde smiled: "Sir, it's just a title, why not?"
"It's not just a title, it's actually His Majesty's disorderly government!"
Cui Li was furious: "Feng Bogong, you didn't even slander me, why did you mess up? Your Majesty, sir, educating children is the foundation of the country for hundreds of years. Your Majesty has a far-reaching vision. You can't see it yourself. Do you think everyone can do it?"
Is he blind?"
Feng Bogong shook his head: "It's hard to live up to its false reputation."
Zhu Youde understood. Feng Bogong was worried that everyone would become a teacher just for the title of a national scholar. From then on, the profession of teachers was mixed with good and bad, which would mislead the students.
Everyone pursues false fame.
At the same time, Zhu Youde gave too much. Those who were given Jinshi family status could directly become officials.
This is called Tongjinshi, which means you enjoy the same treatment as Jinshi.
Everyone has passed the imperial examination, but you are just a bad teacher, so you can become an official without taking the exam?
This isn't fair!
Moreover, aristocratic families are best at publicity and creating stars. So-called celebrities can be created.
In the final analysis, it is still difficult to calm down.
Zhu Youde understood and smiled without saying a word.
What he wants is literacy. As for whether the teacher is a real celebrity, that doesn't matter. As long as he is willing to be a teacher, he will be given the treatment he should receive.
If you commit a crime, just kill him.
He is the emperor and needs to care whether the teacher is worthy of his name.
Zhu Youde said: "Feng Qing, step down. I have made a decision. This is how I will implement your concerns. I already know it. You can be transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and be responsible for assessing the gentlemen of the world. It is up to you to select the outstanding ones as national scholars."
The officials are responsible."
Cui Li was anxious, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites manages Wenhua. Shouldn't the Ministry of Rites be responsible for these assessments? At least the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel are responsible together!"
As for the officials, do you think I'm dead?
Although you are the emperor, you still have to say what you should say.
Zhu Youde was not angry: "You and Feng Qing can discuss it among yourselves and come up with a charter. I will never change my intention to promote culture and education. Once it is useful, I will not be stingy with rewards!"
Ouch, the emperor's attitude is so firm.
Cui Li was immediately relieved. As long as he did well, the Ministry of Rites would no longer be the Qingshui Yamen, and the power in his hands would also be greatly increased!
Zhu Youde thought for a while and said, "I plan to appoint a prime minister on my left and right, so I will fight for the upper hand!"
All officials were immediately jealous, especially Cui Li, who made no secret of his desire to become prime minister.
Zhu Youde abolished the position of prime minister before and set up six ministries to centralize power. Now that he has taken control of the court, he set up left and right prime ministers to prepare for the destruction of Beiyan.
If he goes on a personal expedition, one of the prime ministers will take him away by himself, while the other will be in charge of the affairs of the country.
It would be nice to have one more child.
It seems that I still have to work harder.
Luo Yunshan stood up at this time, "Your Majesty, please restore Lantai."
"Let's talk about this later!"
"His Majesty……"
Zhu Youde stood up and turned around to leave. Am I sick to find a group of trolls to spray on myself?
That's impossible in Kailantai.
"Your Majesty, there is no Lantai in the imperial court, and your Majesty is cut off from all communication!"
Zhu Youde, who stopped, turned around and glanced at Luo Yunshan. Do you think I won't do anything to you because you are the queen's father?
"With Lu Shengzhi's absence, there will be no one to offer the wine ceremony at the Royal University of Jinling. The father-in-law of the country is of high moral character, proficient in knowledge, and has the air of an elder. He will be removed from the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Luoyunshan and transferred to the imperial university to offer the wine ceremony."
After saying that, Zhu Youde walked into the court. Everyone in the court was dumbfounded. For a moment, everyone exclaimed, "Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger."
Luo Yunshan was the empress's father, and he was laid off just because he was dissatisfied with the emperor's wishes.
Are the royal university's sacrificial wine and the Minister of War the same thing?
The difference in power is not the slightest, and the level is also different. The emperor is really determined to take it, and he does not miss his old feelings at all.
