Gao pragmatically wanted to keep Shuai Jiamo by his side. He had a wide range of plans, but he didn't have enough talents. Having a talent like Shuai Jiamo, who majored in mathematics and criminal justice, was very useful to him.
It's funny to say that although the Gao family in Xinzheng is not a family of four generations and three fathers, it is considered prosperous from the grandfather Gao Shangxian's generation, not to mention the father's generation, especially the third uncle Gao Gong, who has disciples and former officials all over the world. It stands to reason that it is
It shouldn’t be impossible to find talented people.
But the problem is that although there are many disciples under Gao Gongmen, it can be said that they are all over the world, but almost all of them are in the officialdom. At the same time, their talents are not necessarily suitable for Gao Wuzheng's current needs, let alone the improvement of pragmatism. They are too young and their status is not enough.
To control these senior brothers, I have a huge network of contacts, but it is difficult to take advantage of it.
There is no money to spend guarding the golden mountain.
In fact, since Gao Pingshi stood out with "Long Wen Whip Shadow" in the Prince's Reading Competition, and later tried his best to make Feng Bao lose face, and privately came up with the title of "Xiao Ge Lao", Gao Gong's
The disciples and old officials were all convinced in their hearts that the master was passing on the mantle to Gao Panggang, and they were very concerned about his every move. Even Wu Dui, who was already a governor, did not dare to underestimate him.
However, that does not mean that they will treat Gao Pragmatism with a surrendering attitude. On the contrary, their attitude towards Gao Pragmatism is generally to help and support.
Gao Pragmatic himself also knew this very well. These senior brothers could only be his official support in the future, but they were not his partners in industry. He could only rely on himself to find solutions for his own industry.
Although the stalls are spread out a bit now, after all, it is just a foundation. You can still rely on the Gao family's background to select people from within your family. When these businesses are fully developed and even enter more projects, the shortage of people will definitely become more serious.
At that time, we will definitely need to introduce talents.
If you don’t worry about the long term, you will have immediate worries. Since there will definitely be a talent gap, it’s better to start planning now.
These days, those who are good at studying must first consider becoming an official. Those who really can't pass the exam will look for other opportunities. And overall, the proportion of scholars in Ming Dynasty is not high, so it is very difficult to recruit talents.
It's difficult.
Gao pragmatic knew that Gao Gong had a plan after taking control of the Ministry of Personnel, which was to increase the training and use of Juren, and now he has begun to gradually advance it.
This is a good idea in itself, and it was also a good policy of Gao Gong in the original history. Gao Pragmatic wonders if he can also recruit talents according to this idea - it may be a bit difficult to recruit people, after all, they can already be candidates for officials, but
Where are the scholars?
Aren't there many failed scholars in history who accomplished many great things? It can be seen that at the level of scholar, there should be many leftovers.
Shuai Jiamo accepted his invitation, but the case of Ding Sijuan from She County still had to be settled first, so he had to go back.
Gao pragmatic just didn't know whether Shuai Jiamo understood what he hinted to him. If he did, he probably wouldn't insist on arguing the merits with the five counties.
Government affairs are sometimes like this. Fairness and impartiality are not the key. Right or wrong is not the decisive factor in handling a government matter, only the pros and cons.
Only children can tell what is right and what is wrong, adults only see the pros and cons.
It's so well said and so ironic.
But there is nothing you can do if you are very pragmatic. The world is like this, and politics is even more like this. Things like this in Huizhou will definitely lead to nothing but peace in the end.
A politician like Gao Gong would not worry too much about which side is the Mathematical Olympiad champion between She County and the other five counties.
But looking back, Shuai Jiamo is certainly a talented person, and the Xiuning County Magistrate seems to be very powerful as well. It can be seen that under the imperial examination system, it does not mean that there will not be capable talents. It is just that the current situation of society is such that everyone is competing for one.
No matter how outstanding a talent is, if he only concentrates on being an official, he will not be able to develop in other aspects.
So this is a social problem, not a simple issue of the imperial examination system, and the solution is definitely not to abolish the imperial examination - aren't the civil service examinations in later generations also a disguised imperial examination? It can be seen that the problem is not the examination, but what is tested, and the items that are tested
weight in the overall exam.
Gao Pingshi remembers watching the World Cup with his cousin once, and he sighed with emotion: "Our country's football youth training system is so bad, when will we catch up with others!"
As a result, his cousin laughed and said: "It's actually very simple - extra points for college entrance examination football, with a maximum of 100 points, and Chinese football will be invincible in the world in ten years."
After Gao Pragmatic was stunned, he felt that although this was a joke, it was not unreasonable.
Just imagine if other subjects could be added to the Ming Dynasty's imperial examination, even if the score ratio was a little lower at the beginning, wouldn't it be able to guide scholars of this era to pay attention to other knowledge?
Even if at the beginning, the reform can only be done so that the Four Books and Five Classics account for 90%, and mathematics and physics account for 50% each, with the population base of the Ming Dynasty, there will be many more talents in mathematics and physics. In this way, other disciplines will be gradually added.
If we gradually adjust the proportion of scores in each subject, wouldn't we be able to expect great things?
The real problem is the first step, how to add other subjects to the current imperial examination system - those corrupt scholars will never agree easily.
But as long as it can be added, no matter how low the score is at the beginning, it won't be a problem.
He had a plan for this matter, but it was just a general idea without refinement - at his current age and status, it would be useless to refine it. This will all be done after passing the imperial examination high school and entering the official career.
We still need to find the right opportunity as a breakthrough. What’s the point of planning too carefully now?
My own exam is the basic prerequisite for serving as an official. This is for sure. Gao Pragmatic has not relaxed his studies, and part of the reason for coming to Anyang this time is to serve this purpose.
But he does not intend to be an official. He only wants to get promoted and make a living. He also has to build some industries. Making money is certainly one of the aspects, but more importantly, he uses his own industry to set an example for the world - to make money.
Investing money in industry and commerce is far more meaningful than investing in real estate.
If the people of the Ming Dynasty would only focus on those acres of land, they would be overtaken by Westerners sooner or later. This makes no sense at all.
But Gao Pragmatic believes that this does not need to be reasonable. People in the Ming Dynasty may not be able to see through it. Even if there are very few people who can see through it, it may be useless - there is no place to invest spare money! After going around in circles,
He may have felt that buying land was the safest option.
Therefore, Gao Pragmatic needs his own industry, not for the sake of wealth and desolation, nor for the purpose of secretly planting power with evil intentions. His fundamental starting point is to "follow me as an example and follow me to eat meat."
As for personal enjoyment, he does not refuse, but after all, that is just a convenience, not the main starting point.
For a time-traveler with such a good family background, it would be too much of a loss if he focused solely on personal enjoyment.
As for the bad intentions... if, by chance, things get out of my control in the future, and my superiors insist on killing me - let's talk about it.
After all, I am not Yue Wumu, so I will definitely not go to Fengbo Pavilion.
