[Task: Gather talents as weapons] [Introduction: In the past, Qin Shihuang collected weapons from all over the world to cast twelve bronze figures, defying heaven and defeating the immortals. Nowadays, Confucianism and Taoism are newly established, and talents are scattered. He collects Confucian scholars from all over the world for his own use, and gathers talents from all over the world.
Zhenguo Fang is the best choice] [Zhenguo Jiuding: 3/9] [Mission countdown: twenty years] [Mission reward: Level 2 Confucianism and Taoism in this world] With a wave of food wars, the gentry class of the Ming Dynasty will be harvested
Nearly 50% of the wealth is directly reflected on the task list.
This means that more than 30% of the Confucian scholars in the entire Ming Dynasty can be used by the imperial court.
The current gentry class in the Ming Dynasty is actually a very strange group. They are selfish and can collude with enemy countries for the sake of family interests and betray the interests of the country for personal gain.
They are ignorant. It is precisely because of the suppression of this class that modern science and technology cannot develop, because science and technology will liberate the labor force and have an impact on the basis of their rule.
At the same time, they are also very smart and have a strong ability to assess the situation. They know what to do in the face of the general trend in order to best benefit the continuation of their family.
But these characteristics were characteristic of the entire gentry class.
Among this group, or under the influence of Confucian cultural thought, there will always be a small group of people in every era who can emerge from the mud and remain untainted, and always have true persistence and perseverance in their hearts.
Even if you die generously for these persistence and perseverance, you will not hesitate to do so.
There are those who are world-famous, such as Hai Rui, such as Zhang Juzheng, and there are also those who spend their lives doing nothing, such as those ordinary beings whose names are unknown.
Even Xu Jie and Yan Song when they were young, they were also passionate young people with their own ideals and ambitions.
It's just that in the big dye vat of the times, they were gradually changed, or actively changed, and finally became what they are now.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw this very clearly. The more politically clear an era is, the more capable and wise people are. The more chaotic an era the political situation is, the more villains and treacherous people are.
It is not those villains and treacherous people who created the chaotic era, but in such chaotic era, only by learning to be treacherous and becoming a villain can you get ahead and have the right to speak.
This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang has been acting in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty and the rules of the court since he came to the Jiajing plane.
Because it was he who set the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and these were his rules. However, later generations of kings took the lead in not abiding by the rules, which made the situation of the Ming Dynasty even more corrupt.
Only by defeating those gentry within the rules can he win the hearts of the gentry all over the world, can he bring order out of chaos and bring the Ming Dynasty back on track, and can he use a large number of learned people who have emerged from the mire and have the same mind for the Ming Dynasty to his advantage.
After eight years of hard work, he has actually achieved this.
Now the political situation in the Ming Dynasty has returned to the original level of the early Ming Dynasty in history. It is even clearer than the early Ming Dynasty because the Sanfa Department was moved down to the county level.
Both the supervision of officials and local surveillance have become stronger.
But this is not enough, because now is the era of industry and extraordinary parallelism.
In such an era, he has the opportunity to do more and do better.
Similarly, after experiencing three different historical planes, especially the plane of great change like the late Qing Dynasty, his thoughts were also freed from the shackles, and his vision became broader.
He wanted to add something more high-spirited and meaningful to the Ming Dynasty in this era.
For example, those things that seemed a bit ridiculous to him before, but many people insist on, and many people are willing to pay their lives for it.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed it gently, and a large cauldron condensed in the void in front of him.
This is the Zhenguo Ding condensed from talents. This tripod is equivalent to a general valve. In the future, Confucian scholars in the world can only obtain talents from the Zhenguo Ding.
At least one-third of his talent has now been installed on this valve.
Moreover, this tripod also has a special feature, it can give talents a commonality.
After he gives the commonality of talent, only those who are consistent with this commonality can sense talent through the Zhenguo Cauldron. If they do not agree with this commonality in their hearts, then they will not be able to get the recognition of the talents released from this Zhenguo Cauldron.
Use talent.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and finally with a thought, he condensed the imperial body-protecting dragon energy into a golden brush, and solemnly wrote two large gilded characters on the tripod.
"fair!"
This is the basis of everything. If the country wants long-term peace and stability, it must achieve fairness. Even if true fairness cannot be achieved, it must continue to move in this direction.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this was the basic quality that a Confucian scholar should have, and it was also the most basic understanding for all the people in the future Ming Empire, from the ministers and emperors to the common people.
And at the moment when the word "fairness" was written on this Zhenguo tripod, all the talented Confucian scholars in the world shook their bodies at the same time and felt something.
They instantly understood that talents that had no attributes before could only be understood through reading and broadening their horizons.
The talents that can be obtained naturally by increasing one's talents now have an additional threshold, and this threshold is called "fairness."
Only those who agree with "fairness" can gain talents from this Zhenguo tripod.
"The talents I can mobilize have been reduced by one-ninth!" At the same time, in the Hanlin Academy, an Hanlin official said with a pale face.
"The same is true for me." Another Hanlin pinched his eyebrows and suddenly felt an emptiness in his mind.
The extraordinary system of Confucianism, Taoism and Talent actually opens up a secret.
And it is the most mysterious Niwan Palace among the three secrets of the human body.
This secret treasure is different from Dantian and Qihai. There are not many records about it even in ancient books or the Great Zhou Immortal Court.
The only vague record is that this secret is related to Shinto.
But no one can tell exactly what Shinto is.
This is also the reason why the extraordinary system of Confucianism, Taoism and Talent is so mysterious and special that even the Academy of Sciences has no way of dealing with it.
Soon Zhu Yuanzhang condensed the second Guo Zhending tripod.
With little hesitation, he picked up the pen again and wrote the same two words on the Zhenguo tripod: "Legal system."
"A society without the rule of law can only cause chaos, and the same is true for a country."
"The future Ming Dynasty must be a legal society. All those who do not abide by the legal system will not be able to obtain one-ninth of their talents."
"The talent in my mind has been reduced by one-ninth." In the Hanlin Academy, the Hanlin who spoke for the first time, his face had become extremely ugly at this moment.
But by this time, more Confucian scholars had already reacted.
The only thing that can cause talents to fluctuate in such a wide range and directly deprive Confucian scholars of talents is the Dragon Qi of the Imperial Way, which is a higher level than talents.
Obviously, this situation must be the work of Emperor Hongwu.
Moreover, the Hanlin Academy is an institution of the imperial court after all, and they are all young people who have just entered the officialdom.
Many people still agree with the concept of "legal system", so in fact, a considerable number of Hanlin officials are not affected at all this time.
Naturally, they chose to wait and see.
The third Zhenguo tripod condensed out.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang rarely fell into deep thought when facing the Zhenguo tripod. He hesitated.
But in the end he picked up his pen and wrote two words on the cauldron again: "Justice"
This is a very ridiculous word in the eyes of many people, and even before Zhu Yuanzhang, it was equally ridiculous.
Because he has experienced the darkest era, he understands very well that justice is a piece of shit in the face of power.
This world is essentially a world of the weak and the strong.
In his previous understanding, only the strong are qualified to talk about justice, while the weak only deserve to eat shit.
He went from being a beggar with a bowl at the beginning to becoming the emperor of the Ming Dynasty today. He also did many unfair things.
Engraving this commonality on the Zhenguo tripod not only bound those Confucian scholars, but also bound himself.
Because if the concept of justice is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, then if he does something less just, he will be condemned by public opinion and lose the support of the people.
This will prevent him from using many methods in the future.
But in the end he wrote down this commonality.
Because the people need it.
The people are the foundation for the prosperity of the Ming Empire. He has come from poor people to where he is today step by step. He can easily empathize with the people's thoughts.
When people suffer unfair treatment, what they hope most is for someone to appear who can uphold justice.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had the responsibility to make more and more such people appear in Ming Dynasty.
He also has the responsibility to build a truly just order for the future Ming Empire.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yan Ge, Mr. Xu Ge and others are outside asking for an audience." Zhu Yuanzhang finally breathed a long sigh of relief after all the common features of the three tripods were given.
He was looking forward to what changes would happen to those extraordinary people in Confucianism and Taoism when their talents were endowed with these three common characteristics.
"Let them come in!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
Let us just take a look at whether these academics who have always been "concerned about the country and the people" possess these three qualities.
"Your Majesty!" Soon, more than 20 academicians, led by the chief minister of the cabinet, Yan Song, rushed in.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these people with his eyes. Under his eyes that contained the imperial dragon spirit, he could naturally clearly see the changes in talents of these people.
There is only one person whose talent has not changed at all, and that is Hai Rui.
The rest, even Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, lacked justice and the concept of fairness.
On the contrary, the concept of legal system is quite deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Zhu Yuanzhang also understood this. If you want to be an official in the Ming Dynasty, fairness and justice are definitely luxuries.
People with such concepts have long been swept out of officialdom.
"Your Majesty, I wonder what happened?"
"Why is there such a sudden surge of talent in the world, and we all feel the lack of talent." Zhang Juzheng spoke first.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not hide it. He directly stretched out his hand and displayed the three Guo Zhending tripods condensed by the system in front of everyone.
And he truthfully told everyone the common features written on these three cauldrons.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, the most excited person was Hai Rui.
"Your Majesty, since this has happened, great rule of the world is just around the corner!"
"Your Majesty really has incredible power."
Emperor Jiajing next to him couldn't help but curled his lips when he heard this. He thought that Hai Rui was an idiot who didn't know how to flatter him. Now it seems that this person is very proficient in this art!
"Oh, even the most staunch civil servants have to bow down in front of Taizu!" Emperor Jiajing said proudly.
"I see, I know it!"
Zhang Juzheng nodded thoughtfully, with a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
At the same time, his talent began to fluctuate, and within a short time of saluting, his missing talent was restored.
"He is worthy of being a famous child prodigy and worthy of being a reforming talent for future generations. Not bad!"
Zhang Juzheng's change happened right in front of his eyes. Zhu Yuanzhang naturally saw it, and the admiration in his eyes could not be concealed.
Seeing Zhang Juzheng's performance and hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's praise, everyone still didn't know that His Majesty the Emperor could see what kind of character they were missing.
This immediately made everyone feel a substantial and heavy pressure.
It was as if I had taken off all my clothes in an instant and was standing here naked and being watched by His Majesty in public.
"Now that you understand what's going on, let's all go back!"
"Don't worry, we understand you. These three qualities are just our expectations for the future civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. It does not mean that they must have them. We will still treat them equally in the future!" Zhu Yuanzhang comforted everyone with a smile.
"What the hell!" Xu Jie Yansong and others thanked them on their faces, but in their hearts they didn't believe it at all.
If Lao Zhu's words can be believed, then sows can even climb trees.
"Also, after you go back, spread the word about this matter, let everyone know the whole story, and tell them that in the future, the court will use its talents according to their abilities. These three qualities will become one of the important references."
"Look..., isn't this knocking coming?" Everyone seemed to understand, and they nodded respectfully in agreement.
After leaving Beiyuan, everyone looked at each other and understood that the new era of Ming Dynasty was really coming.
It seems that this mentality will change further in the future.
Of course, they still have great confidence in themselves and do not think that they cannot recognize fairness and justice.
It just takes time.
After all, not everyone is a monster like Zhang Juzheng!
Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui were left behind.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two of them, pondered for a moment and continued: "Actually, there are nine tripods in this town. Only three of them have been condensed now. There are still six more that need to further gather the talents of the world to continue to condense."
"Tell me, two of you, how to gather this talent?"
"this…."
Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment and finally said: "I believe that the best way to gather talents is to reform the current imperial examination system, so that all the scholars in the world can return to their hearts."
Next to him, Hai Rui nodded in agreement.
"It seems we have thought of going together!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Well, you two get ready, and I will send you to the main world to inspect the imperial examination system there."
"I'll let Biao'er receive you, and you guys can come up with a practical solution together, how about that?"
