Ten days later, the Nanjing Government issued three announcements, one was "Management Standards for the Press and Publication System", and the other two were the Nanjing Government Junior High Education Syllabus and the Imperial Examination System Standards. The first two were implemented immediately, and the latter One was implemented after the country was unified.
The first two did not cause any problems at all. The introduction of the "News and Publication System Management Code" actually means that private individuals can start newspapers. Although there are corresponding restrictions on the content of newspapers, there is nothing to be said about it. , any court will control publications, and literally speaking, these six regulations make sense, and no one can find anything wrong with them.
The education syllabus is even simpler, because the current education system has already been implemented in the six provinces of the Yangtze River, and has been implemented in Zhejiang, Shandong and other places for several years. Public schools have also been established to systematize education and formally Culturalization is also recognized as one of the benevolent policies promoted by Shang Yi. Although the addition of mathematics, physics, astronomy, world calendar, history, foreign languages, etc. to education has caused some controversy, the opposition is not strong. Because the atmosphere in the southeastern coastal areas is relatively open, they are quick to accept new things. Moreover, Shang Yi did not abandon traditional education, but only added some new subjects. Many enlightened and knowledgeable people also know that these subjects They are indeed useful knowledge.
Regardless of whether he is willing or not, Shang Yi has already done this. If you study in a public school, you must learn these courses. All public schools are free of charge, use free textbooks, and provide students with some necessary pen, ink and paper. Absolutely For most families, residential areas are very attractive, so students studying in public schools still account for the majority.
However, the release of the standards for the imperial examination system has caused quite a bit of controversy. Of course, the main focus of the controversy is the introduction of some natural subjects into the imperial examination. The standards are also accompanied by a sample examination paper for natural subjects, with a total of 60 questions. , each question is worth one point, which includes five parts of mathematics including geometry, physics, astronomy, world knowledge, and current affairs. The score of each part is between ten and fifteen points, with forty points being the passing mark. Natural subjects Failed, failed.
Introducing natural subjects into the imperial examination has indeed never happened before in China's imperial examinations for more than a thousand years. Because ancient China never paid attention to natural science, some Taoists and scholar-bureaucrats strongly opposed this. As for other contents, everyone can accept it. After all, it is the consensus of scholars to abolish the eight-legged essay and expand the proposition limits of the imperial examination. There are also some people who agree with Wang Fuzhi and believe that all natural subjects can be included There is no need to take the imperial examination to study economics and physics.
Of course, the opposition is not one-sided. There are also many people who support it, because natural subjects have already existed in the education system of the Nanjing government. Many people also see hope in it. If you learn natural subjects well, It is also possible to become an official through the imperial examination. There are also a group of people who absolutely support Shang Yi and all agree with him.
At the same time, the China Times once again used the government's rhetoric tool, publishing articles and comments continuously to explain the importance of natural subjects and the benefits of introducing natural subjects into the imperial examinations. This triggered another war of words. Although there were some Taoist scholars wrote articles to refute, but the scope and influence of the dissemination were far less than that of China Times.
However, just a few days later, a member of the Senate issued a proposal to "oppose the introduction of natural subjects to the imperial examination." For this reason, a fierce debate was held in the Senate, which took a full day.
This is also the longest time it has taken for a proposal since the Senate implemented the meeting system standard. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the debate was interrupted many times, which also caused chaos twice, and five agitated members were arrested.
were expelled from the venue, and a large number of MPs were violated or given warnings.
In the final vote, there were 157 votes in favor, 152 votes against, and 13 abstentions. Although there was a majority in favor, it failed to reach half of the votes, so the proposal was not
Can pass.
The reason is that the members of the Senate come from all walks of life, and the proportion of real traditional scholars does not exceed half. There are also a large number of businessmen, handicrafts, and industrialists. Therefore, traditional concepts do not necessarily have a position here.
.And most people are very supportive of Shang Yi. The combination of many factors resulted in the most controversial vote since the establishment of the Senate.
In any case, the result has been decided. Of course, Shang Yi has long been prepared to be voted by the Senate. Even if he is voted to pass, Shang Yi will not give in and will force it to pass. Because Shang Yi is very
Understand that as long as you persist unwaveringly, the voices of opposition will slowly subside.
The movement disappears, and students will study these natural subjects conscientiously. After all, ten years of hard study, isn't it just for the moment of being nominated for the gold list? There are always a few people who can truly adhere to their academic principles, and waiting for the exam
After a few times, even if someone objects again, it is useless.
At this time, Shaowu, who had been captured in the previous battle, and the emperors Zhu Yuxuan and Zhu Yihai of the Yong'an court, as well as members of the royal family and major ministers, a total of more than 100 people, were also escorted to Nanjing.
Shang Yi ordered that Zhu Yuxuan, Zhu Yihai, and their families be sent to Xiaoling to guard Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb. This actually restricted their activities within the scope of Xiaoling, which was equivalent to a change of custody. They also had to pay their responsibilities on a regular basis.
some cleaning
This is because Shang Yi did not prohibit Ming Dynasty officials from visiting the Xiaoling Mausoleum, but it was only open for an hour every day. Therefore, during this hour, Zhu Yuxian, Zhu Yihai and their families would restrict their movements.
No contact with outsiders is allowed.
In Chinese history, the attitude towards emerging dynasties and the previous royal family is often more tolerant if it is a unified dynasty and is usually kept and raised. In some dynasties, it is more preferential, while if it is a period of division, it is more harsh and often
They would kill them all. Of course, the Yuan and Qing dynasties were exceptions, because it was a foreign invasion, especially the Qing Dynasty, which basically killed all the descendants of the Ming Dynasty.
Shang Yi was not a murderous person. Unless he needed to establish his authority, he would not kill prisoners indiscriminately. At most, they would do hard labor. He also treated Manchus, Japanese, Koreans, and Dutch separately.
The foreign captives were all sent to mine or mine mountains to extract rocks; while the Han captives were treated more favorably, usually reclaiming wasteland or building roads, and would be released after a few years of hard work.
Therefore, Shang Yi did not intend to attack the descendants of the Ming Dynasty, and Shang Yi did not think that people like Zhu Yuxuan and Zhu Yihai could make much trouble. After all, the Ming Dynasty was already unpopular and destined to never recover.
Killing the descendants of the Ming Dynasty is just a sign of lack of confidence in oneself. It’s just that
However, the country has not been unified yet, so they are temporarily imprisoned. After Shang Yi has unified the country and stabilized his rule, they will be released sooner or later. The same goes for the other main ministers of the Shaowu and Yongan courts.
.Of course, the premise is that they all accept their imprisonment honestly.
After Zhu Yucheng, Zhu Yihai and their families settled down, sisters Zhu Yurao and Zhu Yujie also jointly sent some daily necessities to express their condolences to them, and also warned them not to have other delusions and to honestly stay in Xiaoling for their mother-in-law.
The ancestor emperor guards the mausoleum.
In fact, Zhu Yuxuan and Zhu Yihai were not ambitious people, and they were worried on the road, fearing that they would be killed by Shang Yi when they arrived in Nanjing. However, after arriving in Nanjing, they were arranged to live in Xiaoling. Although they were imprisoned, at least they were
Said that Shang Yi did not kill them
Meaning. Moreover, sisters Zhu Yurao and Zhu Yujie also sent items, which made them feel more at ease. Because Zhu Yuxi and Zhu Yihai both knew that Zhu Yurao had already married Shang Yi, so this also represents Shang Yi's meaning. Therefore,
I settled down in Xiaoling with peace of mind.
Although their activities are restricted to Xiaoling, Xiaoling covers a large area and is not under the Forbidden City in south Beijing, so there is no sense of restraint. Moreover, the food and drink supply is relatively sufficient every day, although it is less than
Not as good as when they were emperors, but not either
Not bad, every meal includes wine, meat, and seasonal vegetables. And cleaning every day is equivalent to exercising, so after the two families stayed in Xiaoling for a few days,
I feel that this kind of life is not bad, there is no need to fight for power and gain, and worry about it.
The other major ministers of the Shaowu and Yongan courts who were sent to Nanjing were all sent to a labor camp on the outskirts of Nanjing to undergo labor reform with the captured prisoners, including some soldiers they knew.
Dang does some simple farm work every day, but they can move around freely on the farm, and they are also provided with some books and the China Times.
The ministers were a little surprised by the result of this treatment. Many ministers were determined to die before coming to Nanjing. Some of them were even prepared to curse Shang Yi after seeing him.
A person has written a posthumous poem and recited it impassionedly before being executed. In short, he is ready to be loyal and righteous.
Of course, there are also some people who are thinking about whether Shang Yi, who has always been a courteous corporal and loves his talents as much as his life, will come to recruit them. Then they should also pay attention to the appropriateness of the fire. When the time is right, they will pretend to be moved and surrender.
Go to Nanjing Government
u. Some people are still rehearsing what they should look like and say when they are moved, whether they should sigh to the sky or burst into tears, whether they should say "The Lord of True Saints" or "
If you are not loyal to me, it is really irresistible.”
But no one expected that after arriving in Nanjing, Shang Yi ignored him at all and went directly to the farm for labor reform. Everyone started their new life in this overwhelmed mentality.
