The next morning, Shang Yi officially promoted to the court and accepted congratulations from his ministers. In fact, the morning court was not the time to discuss national affairs, but mainly to meet with officials. Bi Jing Shang Yi went out for six or seven months. Although Ye Yao was the governor of the country, most of the domestic affairs were maintained by cabinet members and officials. Therefore, Shang Yi also wanted to praise the officials.
Therefore, after the ministers visited Shang Yi, they first congratulated the emperor on his victory in this expedition. Shang Yi also praised the ministers for his work in China during this period, and the war in Nanyang has not ended now, Shang Yi also asked the cabinet to Continue to slow down the frontline affairs and ensure logistics supply. Then he scattered the court, leaving alone the Prime Minister Wang Fuzhi and the Second Minister Li Yan to understand what happened in China during this period.
Although Shang Yi would send Shang Yi a batch of documents every month to inform him of what happened in China, the bills passed by Congress and the decisions made by the cabinet, but after all, they were just a rough idea, and they were very simple. There are many major things that Shang Yi needs to understand in detail now, and there are some things that need to be decided until Shang Yi comes back.
After the ceremony, Wang Fuzhi first said: "This time the emperor went to the battlefield. Although he encouraged morale and allowed his soldiers to fight to the death, the emperor is now the king of a country and is not a general in the front of the army. He should focus on the great cause, rather than a battle and a battle. If the emperor is not in court for a long time, it will inevitably cause people to be unstable and the people to be uneasy. Therefore, in the future, the emperor will also ask him to think carefully and act carefully."
Shang Yi also knew that he would definitely complain after returning to China, and he also knew that Wang Fuzhi's words were indeed for his own sake, so he nodded and said, "What Wang Qing said is very true. I will definitely follow Wang Qing. He advises him to take good care of his actions to fight for his own efforts.”
Seeing that Shang Yi was honestly admitting his mistake, Wang Fuzhi certainly could not be unlucky, so he bowed to Shang Yi and said, "If the emperor can obey his ministers' words, it will be a great blessing for the world."
Speaking of this, it's almost done. Let's get to the point. Of course, during this period, there are not many major things in China. The main things are: First of all, the Chinese Empire officially started the imperial examination this year, and it is also a recruitment. The Economic Special Economic Department was opened, and provincial examinations were conducted across the country; a group of students who passed the Economic Special Economic Special Science were also registered with the governments of various prefectures and prefectures, waiting for the arrangements of local departments. There were also a group of students who were not in a hurry to become officials, and Study hard at home and prepare to participate in next year's provincial examination.
The opening of the imperial examination opened up the path for civilians to become a common career. Therefore, students from all over the country, as well as sociologists and gentry also praised the court's policy, but this imperial examination was also the first time that China's imperial examination system has joined. The content of the natural discipline, which is the so-called practical study, rather than a single moral article, has also caused a lot of controversy.
Although it was announced to the country at the beginning of the founding of the Chinese Empire that the imperial examinations would be included in the world and political use, the traditional concept of moral articles was still deeply rooted in people's hearts; and although these disciplines were also opened in public government schools. , but after all, it is fashionable and short, and the number of public schools is limited, making it difficult to be fully popular in China. Therefore, there are still a large number of private schools in China as a supplement to public schools, but most private schools do not know how to be natural science. All those who can only teach moral articles, so not every student can learn the content of natural science.
In fact, the Chinese government has also considered these issues, so it has added some natural science classes in public schools in various places, which are for teaching students in private schools, and it is free, but it has been boycotted by many private school teachers and banned. Of course, among the private school teachers who boycott their own students, there are only a very small number of stubborn people. Most of the private school teachers boycotted their jobs because they stole their jobs. However, this reason is that they cannot To speak out, you can only be done in the name of maintaining tradition.
In addition, a considerable number of students from public schools were disdainful of Zhu Jingshi Zhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhizhi And more than 20% of those who handed in the blank papers accounted for.
But after the results of the provincial examination came out, many students regretted it very much and were unwilling to accept it. However, they did not reflect on themselves and did not study natural science seriously, but instead put the responsibility on the natural science content added to the imperial examination. Therefore, the Scholars and students have written to the court, demanding that the content of natural science be cancelled in the imperial examination. In some areas with conservative academic style, many people even threatened that if the content of natural science be cancelled, they would resist the imperial examination, etc. , Some people are also active in Nanjing, looking for support from parliamentarians, and submit proposals in parliament, and through formal maps, the content of natural sciences will be cancelled in the imperial examinations. And under the influence of this trend, some officials are also , he has a lot of comments on the addition of natural science content to the imperial examination, and believes that he should consider it again.
Therefore, Wang Fuzhi said: "Emperor, the public opinion is like this. Should we add content about natural science to the imperial examination? Should we consider it again and follow the opinions of our ministers and not delay our efforts."
Shang Yi looked at Wang Fuyi and said, "Wang Qing thought, how long should we go again, whether it will be one year or two years, or three or five years. If it is the year of slowing down, and there are still people who oppose it, what should we do? Should we go again? It's slow."
Wang Fuzhi was stunned and couldn't answer for a moment.
Shang Yi smiled and said, "Wang Qing, I know that although your intention is good, you should do something and not do anything. Although the public opinion must be observed, the most important thing is to know what to do. What should be done, what should not be done? Don’t just cater to the public opinion, but lose the way to be the minister. Taking this imperial examination as an example, the learning that is practical and practical will be of great benefit to the country and the people. Now many people oppose it. It is clearly for the sake of one's own selfishness and ignore the interests of the country. How can we succumb to the views of these corrupt scholars? It is like sailing against the current, and if we do not advance, we will retreat. Therefore, the more we are, the more we cannot give in. As long as we persist for 57 years, we can make it It became a common example. All students in the world learned the knowledge that was practical and practical, and then the opposition could not help but disappear."
Wang Fuzhi also smiled bitterly. In fact, he also knew that he overturned the original decision and canceling the content of natural science was not a good idea. On the one hand, it affected the prestige of the court, and on the other hand, it also encouraged the momentum of the conservative forces, because Wang Fuzhi Bi Jing is still young and lacks the experience of being a prime minister. He also has the weakness of some intellectuals. Faced with the huge wave of opposition, he is also unable to stick to his bottom line.
But Shang Yi knew that this atmosphere could never be encouraged. Although Shang Yi came from an era with democratic politics as the mainstream, he also knew that public opinion only played the role of public opinion supervision in most of the time. It is a reference for decision-making, but it must not be the basis for decision-making, because most people cannot have a visionary look. They will only focus on their immediate interests without taking into account the long-term interests. Democratic politics is truly The biggest advantage lies in the constraints and checks and balances of power, rather than giving all national decisions to the people for voting. What's more, people's knowledge and moral standards at this time are far from meeting the standards of a truly democratic society.
The new imperial examination system will indeed harm the interests of some people in a short period of time. After all, China's imperial examination system has only taken moral articles for so many years. Suddenly, it will be uncomfortable to change it, but the more at this time The more we have to persist, because most students study and study in order to deal with the imperial examinations, and win the best results. Therefore, only by insisting on adding natural science content to the imperial examinations can we force Chinese people to study and attach importance to natural science. This is also the case. The fastest way to popularize science in China.
Moreover, China's imperial examinations have been suspended for more than ten years. Now that the country has just been established, the conservative forces have not yet formed huge resistance. It is a good time to make changes. If it is delayed for a period of time, the resistance will only increase. Therefore, as long as you persist, Then most students will naturally accept the new system. After all, everyone wants to be an official. In a few years, when the imperial examinations for natural sciences have become a convention, even if someone opposes it, the students will not agree.
Shang Yi said: "Wang Qing, Li Qing, after you go back, you will immediately draft an edict for me, saying that our Chinese imperial examination system has been determined and must not be changed. Students from all over the country should take this imperial examination as a warning and learn the world's economy in the future. If you use it, you should wait for it to come and you should not make any revisions."
Wang Fuzhi and Li Yan also hurriedly said: "I am honoring the order."
Apart from the storm caused by the imperial examination, there are basically no major events in the country. The next things are all related to foreign affairs. First, the Khalkha tribe in Mongolia led the people to join China.
Khalkha Mongolia was originally a semi-fishing, hunting and semi-nomadic tribe named after the Khalkha River Basin. Because most of the tribes are Mongolians, almost all Mongolian tribes, so in the 16th century The Khalkha tribe in Mongolia was formed in the middle, which was somewhat similar to the Russian Cossacks.
However, the Khalkha tribe is just a general term, and it is mainly divided into four large tribes, namely the Tushetu Khan tribe, the Chechen Khan tribe, the Zasaktu Khan tribe, and the Sainnoyan tribe.
After the Chinese army conquered various divisions in Inner Mongolia, the news also spread to other areas of Outer Mongolia. The various divisions in Outer Mongolia were also shocked, because the Qing court and the various divisions in Inner Mongolia were defeated by the Chinese army, which also proved the strength of the Chinese army, plus the Chinese Through caravans, the invincible image of the Chinese army was promoted in various departments of Outer Mongolia. At the same time, trade was used to tempt the market. Therefore, the various departments of Outer Mongolia dared not easily become enemies with the Chinese army, and adopted the mutual understanding with China. Strategy, and after the opening of the city, it also has good foreign affairs for all the Ministry of Outer Mongolia.
However, the trading markets are all near the Great Wall, and the caravans basically only go to various banners in Inner Mongolia. It is very difficult for the various departments of Outer Mongolia to participate in the transaction, because they have to pass through the places in Inner Mongolia. Therefore, some Outer Mongolian tribes want to attach themselves to China. , and also let Chinese caravans go to their tribe to trade.
