The scolding on the banks of the Qinhuai River continued, and the rotten Confucians gradually gained the upper hand with their numerical advantage. As the abuse escalated, the rotten Confucianists not only brought to the table the former dirty laundry of the Donglin Party members, but also prepared to point the finger.
He turned to Chongzhen, who had remained silent, and tried to prove with extensive evidence that this guy was a failed king.
There is no risk in scolding the Donglin Party members. The first six gentlemen and the last seven gentlemen of that year have all done their best. In recent years, the imperial court has been trying its best to suppress their remaining forces. It is difficult for Huang Zongxi and others to set off the fire.
What a storm. It is normal to scold the emperor. As the representative of the scholar class for hundreds of years, the emperor has been a character who has been scolded. He should have been used to it long ago.
But absolutely should not, absolutely should not, corrupt scholars should not get carried away and involve Zhou Yanru and other old officials of the court. Even though these scourges who were pinched by Zhu Youcong to survive have already withdrawn from the court, they still
With huge strength, otherwise Chongzhen would not have allowed them to be active enough to organize a business school. But with the addition of this new group of profiteers, the situation immediately took a shocking turn, and the rotten scholars were soon left to survive.
Fortunately, Chongzhen, the stupid king, has been very busy recently and has no time to get involved in these nonsense. Otherwise, once he helps or blows some whistle behind his back, it will not only be the Ministry of Punishment in charge of Qiao Yunsheng that provides free materials to both sides, but also the Ministry of Education is being formed.
It is as simple as Kong Yanzhi and his people to compile the battle situation into a book and write it into a newspaper. He will not just let the old nun Jingci lead his White Lotus sect to collect intelligence and distribute the newspaper everywhere. At least he can send out dispatches.
Tens of thousands of scouts, under the banner of Tiqi, were searching the world with conclusive evidence.
"That's it? Kong Aiqing, you're not teasing me, are you?" In order to prevent the official education from being disturbed by rumors and have enough time to cultivate a large number of insightful people who can really move the Ming Dynasty forward, Chongzhen wanted to simultaneously
Granting honors to nearly 300,000 people can be tolerated. Spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every month for five years to feed a group of drunkards is also a necessary choice to stabilize the world's scholars.[
After all, the current Ming Dynasty is not a poor court with an annual income of four million taels a few years ago. With the support of several large silver mountains on the Japanese island, what the court officials are most worried about now is to spend so much money at once. If they cannot control it well,
There will be inflation as mentioned in Fan Thief's suicide note, which will lead to skyrocketing prices.
What made Chongzhen feel heart-wrenching was the final result of this exam. In fact, more than 900,000 people took the exam, and more than 7,000 people passed the final review and were able to directly enter the Imperial College for further study. But among them, they had the ability to immediately engage in natural sciences.
However, there are no more than 800 students studying, and only 51 are qualified to enter the graduate school, which is far lower than previous expectations.
You must know that the current Ming Dynasty has a land area of more than 9 million square kilometers, not counting the Bangzi Kingdom that has fallen into the pocket and the forcibly rented Japanese islands. Even according to the most imperfect statistics, the account book
There is also a huge empire with a population of over 80 million, but there are only so many talents? Not to mention the research institute, even the students recruited by the Imperial College are very rare. To describe the rarity of talents in the entire empire as a drop in the bucket is too exaggerated.
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!" Kong Yanzhi was indeed aggrieved. If he was asked to select traditional talents who are full of talent in writing according to previous standards, then in this large-scale scientific examination, even if he could not select 100,000, he would only be able to select eight.
Wan Lai. But look what you want now? They are all the people who have been suppressed by Confucianism for thousands of years. If you can leave them such seedlings, you can thank the gods and ancestors.
"Your Majesty, Lord Kong cannot be blamed for this..." Han Xu, who has many years of experience in governing, stood up and told the truth. He said that there were many problems discovered through this scientific research, but they were mainly concentrated in
In terms of natural science, it is completely inferior to humanistic laws.
In another time and space, when it comes to Chinese laws, they often like to slander that there is only rule of man and no rule of law. But in terms of fairness, the emperor who has Shang Yang is guilty of the same crime as the common people. When it comes to protecting private property? There is a clear provision in Han law that officials cannot
People who trespass into people's houses can not only kill people in order to protect private property, but they must also be punished lightly even if they beat up officials. Talking about human rights with the Chinese nation? The sentence in Liu Xiu's edict is "The saints of heaven and earth. Man is precious.
"Killing his slaves will not reduce the crime." This shows that everyone's right to survival should be protected. The so-called chivalrous people use force to break the ban, this ban refers to the law. And Confucianism even rejects "killing without teaching is cruelty"
"Not being disciplined is called violence; being slow to give orders is called a thief; treating people like others, and being stingy as a cashier is called having a boss." are the four bad policies.
And what was the West doing at the same time? They were the ones who thoroughly implemented the policy of not punishing officials but not being courteous to common people. Even two hundred years after this era, the West only protected the interests of a few manor owners and nobles.
, the black slaves they captured did not even have the most basic right to live, and there was no need to find a reason to kill them.
Talking about integrity? This is a bit troublesome. Although there are constitutional thoughts with the same origin as Confucianism and Taoism,
"I suggest that for this scientific expedition, we simply change the traditional practice!" Sun Qifeng, who had always aimed to surpass Nan Juyi and become the third most vulnerable person in the Ming Dynasty, also stood up. "With the advice of the Zhenguo general and those foreign magicians,
, Hasn’t Imperial College already classified some subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc.? Let’s take this as an example and use the upcoming gold medal list as an introduction to classify the rankings.”
"According to Qitai's words, aren't there dozens of number one scholars in this subject?" Kong Yanzhi was furious when he heard this. He said that the scourge of literati's contempt for each other was that the results should be released in different subjects. He was not afraid that so many number one scholars would be bumped when he was parading in the street.
face, and then starts a new round of hostility?
"No! Not only will there be dozens of top scorers in this subject, but there will also be hundreds of second prizes. Those who pass the review of the institute must at least be given the title of top scorer! Only in this way can everyone in the world know what the imperial court wants.
What." Anyway, it's not his own money or efforts, so Sun Qifeng has nothing to worry about.
"Draw up the imperial edict!" Chongzhen, who was inspired, also became energetic and said to the ministers in the audience: "Just do as Sun Aiqing said, this subject will be classified and published. Not only will the students who won the top prize be paraded in the streets to praise their officials,
I will also personally hold a banquet for them in Fengtian Hall. In addition..." Pointing to Gu Xichou, Chongzhen continued: "The Ministry of Officials immediately drafted a memorial, and all the students who were successful in the scientific examination were given the title of Ninth Grade.
, enjoy the monthly salary of twenty-four stones for the fourth grade! Candidates who are interested in studying natural sciences can add one more level on this basis!"
"My emperor is wise!" The ministers present had to admit that Chongzhen's stupid move could indeed have an immediate effect. This made those deviants who were usually looked down upon by others not to be envied by the world.
?
Even though the ninth rank title is a false title, it enjoys a higher treatment than Sun Qifeng, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine. Which fool would not be willing to do such a good thing that requires prestige, prestige, and salary. (To be completed.)
