Those who can receive the imperial uniform are all close ministers. The flying fish uniform mentioned by Zhu Di actually requires a third-grade military minister to have a chance to receive it.
Naturally, Xia Xuan was not a third-rank official. Even though he had made great contributions, he was not a third-rank official.
It's just that... once the emperor gives him his consent, even if he doesn't do it now, then he will definitely suffer a lot in the future. As long as he can still jump around and hang around for five or ten years, he can probably accumulate qualifications and achievements and be promoted to the third rank.
Already.
Zhu Di has always been generous in naming meritorious officials, which is something Zhang Anshi admires.
To a certain extent, Zhu Di's success in pacifying Nan was due to the fact that Zhu Di was never stingy with rewards and everyone was willing to follow him.
As long as you are picky, say something ugly, and follow a vassal king like Zhu Di with your head in your waistband to rebel, there will be no super high returns, so a fool will follow Zhu Di.
Even Zhang Anshi is willing to follow Zhu Di and fight hard. Of course, this desperate effort has some elements of the feelings of a time traveler. On the other hand, it is... Don't look at Zhu Di who curses all day long and has no quality at all. He also loves money on weekdays.
As fate would have it, when the critical moment comes, His Majesty is really willing to give, and always exceeds the usual standards. He gives as he says, without even frowning.
Xia Xuan is busy thanking her.
Not long after, Nayishiha came back and took a piece of clothing. Since it was inconvenient to change clothes in this palace, Zhu Di simply put the clothing on Xia Xuan's body.
Xia Xuan was quite moved and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Di only smiled, but turned to Xie Jin and said: "Others, the rewards will be increased one level, and we must not chill the hearts of the righteous people! Even the righteous people who follow the army will suffer without merit if they are given titles and officials.
Those who work hard should also be given silver, and the silver... comes from my internal funds. Now that people's hearts are in my hands, it's time to show some respect to those scholars and gentry."
After a pause, Zhu Di continued: "All the backbones involved in the rebellion will have their property confiscated. Three generations of relatives are abundant in Xinzhou. The leader will be beheaded in public. The rest of the ignorant people can be appeased by others. The land that should be given by the New Deal must also be integrated."
Colleagues! As much as others give, they also give.”
"Last time, Yang Qing asked me to grant amnesty to the world. At that time, I felt it was not the right time. But now, the time has come. I decreed a general amnesty. Except for the leader of the thieves, all other rebels will be innocent."
As soon as these words came out, even Yang Rong couldn't help but admire him and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is wise."
Zhu Di said: "I am not a sage, but what Zhang Qing said is right. In the eyes of the soldiers and civilians, the court can only think of them except for collecting grain and doing corvee work. On weekdays, it ignores them. Now they are being raped by thieves."
Coercion, isn’t this a natural principle?”
"Instead of criticizing these ignorant people, it is better to think about it carefully. There have been so many mistakes in the past dynasties. There have been countless virtuous ministers in ancient times, but no one is willing to truly educate the people. Instead, they only focus on collecting taxes and letting people's livelihood go unchecked.
.If that’s the case, what’s wrong with these people who were held hostage?”
After that, Zhu Di added: "Nowadays, the implementation of the New Deal is not only imperative, but also the promotion of prefectural and county public schools is also crucial... It's just..."
Zhu Di paused here, but said: "This matter, the Ministry of Rites..."
He glanced at it, expecting to find Liu Guan, the Minister of Rites.
But the Minister of Rites was not here, so Zhu Di frowned: "Summon Liu Guan."
While waiting for Liu Guan, they naturally discussed some details about the public school.
It is nothing more than using the school buildings of county schools and government schools in various places for renovation. The teachers are ready-made. It is just a curriculum, but it is also a top priority. It is necessary to order the relevant government agencies, summon the editors of the major universities and the Hanlin Academy, etc., to work together.
Repair.
The person who takes the lead in this matter must be the Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion.
Don't underestimate the simple syllabus, but in fact, this syllabus that promotes the world determines the knowledge and content taught in this public school and cannot be careless.
In the end, it was Xie Jin who took charge of the matter.
Since Xie Jin was a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, the most important thing is that he had rich experience in presiding over the compilation of books. He presided over the compilation of the Yongle Dynasty's great literature, which is the famous Yongle Dadian in later generations.
At this time, Liu Guan, the Minister of Rites, came to see him.
As soon as Liu Guan entered the palace and bowed with great ceremony, Zhu Di glared at him: "Do you know why I summoned you to see him?"
Liu Guan's heart trembled, and he couldn't figure out the holy intention for a while, so he kowtowed: "I will die."
Zhu Di couldn't help but feel angry and funny, and said: "I called you here for one thing only, which is to urge the world's academic officials to formulate the study matters for the children of soldiers and civilians in all prefectures and counties around the world."
After saying that, Nunuuzui, also confused and understanding, took the charter presented by Zhang Anshi and sent it to Liu Guan.
Liu Guan was both suspicious and relieved at the same time. He thought...he had been impeached again for corruption and bending the law.
Immediately, after looking at it carefully, Liu Guancai said cautiously: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, I am afraid that more academic officers will be added."
Zhu Di said: "Aren't the original academic policies and teachings insufficient?"
Liu Guandao: "The original academic officials were actually just dealing with a few famous scholars in the local area. They were only responsible for teaching, but not for education, so they were completely sufficient. But if we follow this charter,
Things are different. We need to
There are academic officers to take charge of affairs, academic officers to be responsible for assessments, academic officers to manage the teachers’ money and food, someone to be responsible for the school building, and... to supervise the schools... and all these things, I am afraid that instructions alone are not enough.
, at least there must be left and right teaching ministers, a master bookkeeper, a bookkeeper, etc.”
He spoke a basketful of words in one breath, and said: "Not only that, but there are also a lot of civil servants needed. Let's talk about it in detail. The number of academic officials will be increased several times. Only the local public school... is possible for the time being.
It can only be set up in one place and can be
Come...it's hard to say, how can a county school converted into a public school be able to provide for the children of the entire county? What's more, the situation in many counties is different. Some villages are blocked by rivers, and some are blocked by mountains.
Your Majesty, President
We can’t teach our children to travel across mountains and rivers to study. Therefore, there may be only one public school today. But if we really want to achieve what is stated in the charter, all the children of soldiers, civilians, workers and peasants in the world will be enrolled in school. In one county, there will not be three or five, or even
Seven or eight public schools are not enough. If there is a public school, there must be a superintendent and a principal. Someone needs to be responsible for the money and food expenses of the school. Someone needs to supervise the school spirit and discipline. Plus teachers, this... again
That’s a lot of manpower.”
He talked eloquently: "Not only that, since there is a public school in the county, there must be one in the government. And after these children study, some of them will inevitably stand out and want to continue their studies in the university. So... what?
How to ensure that each university has contact with public schools in prefectures and counties? It cannot be done. The university can decide who is qualified.
Is it qualified? Therefore... if we want to implement this charter, it is inevitable that we need to add an office in the imperial court to oversee the great universities and public schools all over the country, so as to ensure that the children who study in public schools learn exactly what they want.
The talents needed by the university halls are needed so that each university hall can ensure the number of students admitted to public schools all over the world..."
After hearing this, Zhu Di nodded subconsciously and said, "The Ministry of Rites has always managed academic officials. Now, how about leaving this to the Ministry of Rites?"
"Ah...this..." Liu Guan looked confused and said hesitantly: "In the past, the Ministry of Rites did manage education, and the education that could be done was not onerous. Therefore, education was indeed only one of the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites. But now, this education has become
the most important thing, if
If the previous method is still used, I think it is inappropriate. It would be better to separate the responsibility of education from the Ministry of Rites and create another department. On the one hand, it shows the importance of the imperial court on this, and on the other hand, it is dedicated to the Ministry of Rites.
If you do things professionally, you should also be more relaxed."
"Add one?" Zhu Di glanced at Liu Guan with complicated eyes.
At this time, everyone couldn't help but feel a little speechless towards Liu Guan.
If other ministers could expand their responsibilities, they would be happy. How could they extend such a good thing to others?
I don’t know if Liu Guan noticed everyone’s expressions, but he said without changing his expression: “We might as well set up an additional Ministry of Education and appoint ministers and ministers to handle this matter. What do you think, Your Majesty?”
After hearing this, Zhu Di felt that it made sense, so he mused: "This matter... I will think about it again, but what Liu Qing said does come from the heart."
The imperial court originally had six ministries, but now the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and the Ministry of Railways have been added. If another Ministry of Education is added, there will be nine ministries.
But now that I think about it carefully, it’s not a bad idea. After all, the scale of education will definitely expand rapidly in the future, and education is only one of the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites is in charge of such a large family business, but it also needs to be responsible for the world’s diplomatic affairs.
As well as various ritual affairs, not to mention, the world's monks and Taoists are also managed by the Ministry of Rites, so there will inevitably be mistakes.
The establishment of new ministries and halls also shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to this matter, which is indeed understandable.
Zhu Di said: "Zhang Qing, please go back and revise this charter of yours, refer to the Liu Qing family's suggestions, and then submit it to the court for discussion."
Zhang Anshi said: "I obey the decree."
Zhu Di exhaled: "The rebels in the Fujian Chief Envoy were wiped out in a blink of an eye. I think when I come to the Guangxi Chief Envoy, good news will come soon. I'll take a look at other counties in the world.
Who dares to have different aspirations? In that case, quickly implement the new policy, Wenyuan Pavilion
On the other side, the academicians have been working hard these days. Together with the ministers and ministers of various ministries, they went to all the prefectures and counties in Zhili to take a look. They wanted to see the gains and losses of the new policies in each prefecture and county, and also think about the rest of the world.
Prefectures and counties, how to implement the new policy, when the time comes, a general chapter will be drawn up, and I will directly promulgate it to the world."
Xie Jinren and others accepted the order one after another.
However, Zhu Di was still worried, so he said: "The matter has settled down. The only thing that worries us is the rebellion after all. However, because the rebels blocked traffic, the court knew nothing about the situation of the rebels."
, even the news from the factory guard cannot be communicated..."
After saying that, Zhu Di frowned and sighed quietly.
Even though there was a great victory, problems were still discovered.
Zhu Di was worried about this, not because of the problem of smooth communication, but because once the New Deal was implemented and the imperial court began to personally manage the people of the world, things would inevitably become busy. And once there was a problem of poor communication, what happened next
Anything that the court cannot respond to may have unpredictable consequences.
All the ministers have seen His Majesty's worries. We are all smart people. Of course, our minds are as clear as a mirror. We naturally know why the past dynasties did not manage the people directly, but instead packaged the people to the noble families, or the gentry, that is, the future generations.
The so-called political power does not extend to counties. The essence is that such matters are too complicated, and the court and government have no time to respond in time. Many things, if not handled in time, will definitely lead to disaster.
Of course, now that there is a railway, the situation is very good, but this rebellion still exposed many problems.
Zhang Anshi glanced at everyone's expressions, and then said: "The lack of news this time is due to my negligence. I cannot shirk my responsibility, and I am willing to take the blame."
Zhu Di waved his hand: "You have contributed a lot to this rebellion. I haven't given you a reward yet, so why are you guilty? If the news is not smooth, this is something that even the King of Heaven and I cannot solve. What does it have to do with you? It's just this matter,
It is inevitably still the root cause, but we still need to find ways to improve it.”
Zhang Anshi said: "I must find ways to improve this."
Zhu Di just smiled, and he probably understood that in fact, Jin Yiwei and the Postal Department were already well-informed and fast, at least compared to previous dynasties. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were very fast. If they wanted to improve, it would be just a superficial comment.
.
Immediately, Zhu Di nodded, turned around and said to Xie Jinren and others: "Zhang Qing's contribution must also be discussed. He strategized and won thousands of miles. This is also a military achievement. The court must come up with a result."
Now that the matter was settled, Zhu Di felt tired and naturally gave up.
…………
Liu Guan, who was summoned midway, was frightened after coming out of the palace.
He felt very uncomfortable since he returned to the Ministry of Rites. The news in the palace spread quickly. Many people in the Ministry of Rites knew about it, but no one thought that this minister would actually treat such a fat servant
, was pushed out, and would rather establish an additional ministry hall than increase the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites.
Liu Guan, on the other hand, still looked indifferent under the strange looks in everyone's eyes. Only when he got home did he exhale a long breath.
"Brother..." As soon as they saw Liu Guan coming back, someone hurried forward.
This is Liu Xi, Liu Guan's brother, who is on duty in Shangbao Prison.
"Hmm..." Liu Guan just nodded towards him, looking very worried.
"Brother, I heard that today..."
Liu Guan smiled bitterly and said: "This capital city is indeed a funnel, with wind leaking from all sides. It has only been two hours, and already everyone knows the news."
Liu Xi said, "Brother, why are you pushing such a good job to others? You don't know that many people... are talking about you..."
Liu Xi's face was full of confusion.
But Liu Guan said with a straight face: "Are you saying that I am the world's best fool?"
"This, this, this..."
"What do they know?" Liu Guandao: "They are just a group of fools."
Liu Xidao: "Actually... I don't quite understand why the eldest brother discards such a beautiful thing like a piece of shit."
Liu Guandao: "This is the so-called arsenic. In the eyes of the world, so many academic officials, so many public schools, and overwhelming power are in the hands of the Ministry of Rites. I, the Minister of Rites, naturally also
You can take advantage of this opportunity and a rising tide lifts all boats."
After a pause, Liu Guan continued: "They don't know that His Majesty asked about this matter personally, and this matter is in Zhang Anshi's charter. It can be seen that this is an indispensable part of the New Deal and the most important thing for the future court.
Have you ever thought about how many people will be watching these things alone, and how many people will be watching?"
Liu Xi became even more confused and said, "Is there anything wrong with this?"
"Of course it's inappropriate." Liu Guandao: "Such a great authority means that countless amounts of money and food have to be distributed through the Ministry of Rites. Don't even think about it. This is equivalent to an extra gold and silver mountain for the Ministry of Rites. As a brother, is it possible?
Don’t you know? Brother Wei is good at everything else, but there is one thing that he can’t control his own hands.”
Liu Xi: "..."
Liu Guan said with a bit of frustration: "Every day in this mountain of gold and silver, you can't mess with it. Think about it, how uncomfortable it is, it's like a hundred claws scratching your heart! Once you don't control yourself,
, then it’s over.”
Then, Liu Guan sneered and said: "At that time, if His Highness the King of Song sees our Liu family and moves the money and food for education to his home, will he be willing to give up? Once impeached, I will really die without a burial place.
Yes. So...many times, people need to be self-aware. Some money should be taken and some money should not be taken. In everything, one has to weigh the pros and cons, and do not be blinded by the benefits."
After hearing this, Liu Xi nodded and said: "I see, it's just that... the eldest brother doesn't necessarily have to be in charge of this..."
Liu Guan glared at him and said angrily: "Didn't I tell you before? It's my nature, even if I can't control it, you still have to ask more questions."
Liu Xi had no choice but to say: "Yes, yes, yes, I blame you for talking too much."
Liu Guandao: "But...building public schools all over the world...His Royal Highness the King of Song Dynasty has a lot of ambitions. It is hard to imagine that the New Deal has reached such an extent. It seems that our Ming Dynasty really wants to
It has changed, but I just don’t know... what it will look like in the end.”
Liu Xi frowned and said, "Brother... isn't this a torment?"
Liu Guan glanced sideways at him and said, "I didn't bother you, so why are you anxious?"
"But aren't we also heirs of poems and books..."
Liu Guan looked at him speechlessly and said: "Poetry is a piece of shit. After making so much money, it has already become dirty. You still want to use this piece of shit poetry and book heirloom to gild the lintel? You, you, really
I don’t know how powerful I am, but in the next few days of the court meeting, I will have to give you some good advice on the New Deal and public schools..."
Liu Xi blushed and couldn't help but said: "Why is this?"
Liu Huan looked at him like he was an idiot and said: "Of course I have to grasp the direction of the wind and act like I'm working hard. A few days ago, wasn't there someone who accused me of being greedy? At this time, the harder I work, the more I appear to be a serious person.
Because I supported the New Deal, I offended people. It was because some people wanted to oppose the New Deal that they wanted to bring me down. If the direction of this storm is firmly grasped, no one will look into the details of ordinary things."
