In an instant, his mind felt much clearer, and the world in front of him instantly became much clearer. This feeling was like that after the glass has been wiped clean, you can feel this unusually clear feeling when you look at the world.
.
Zhu Cixi could feel that things that were a bit obscure in his mind could soon be easily understood.
There is really no way to describe this feeling in words.
"call!"
Zhu Cixiang slowly exhaled, his eyes flashing with light.
According to the measurement standards of the previous life, the system has improved its own intelligence by at least dozens of points!
This feeling is really hard to describe.
Zhu Cixiang's eyes flashed with light.
"What's wrong? Your Highness?"
Wu Zong seemed to feel the change in Zhu Cihong. He hesitated for a moment and asked Zhu Cihong next to him.
"nothing?"
Zhu Cixiang glanced at Wu Zong.
Wu Zong and Zhu Cixiang looked at each other. Wu Zong felt that Zhu Cixiang's eyes seemed to be looking into his own heart. That feeling...
Wu Di suppressed the fear in his heart.
Your Royal Highness, it seems that you have grown up again!
Wu Di felt a little emotional in his heart.
Zhu Cixi also felt Wu Zong's reaction, a smile appeared on his face, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Zhu Youli next to him heard the conversation between Zhu Cihong and Wu Zong and did not dare to say a word.
Soon, Zhu Cixi's car arrived at Prince De's Mansion, surrounded by many civil and military officials.
In the palace hall.
"The refugees outside the city must be resettled smoothly, and there must be no mistakes. Do you understand?"
Zhu Cixiang said with a serious face to Wu Yi who was standing aside.
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Zhu Cixi nodded.
"Uncle Wang, you don't need to stay here. What's the matter with you? Just go and do your own thing!"
Zhu Cixiang glanced at King De next to him and said.
"Yes! Your Highness!"
King De nodded, turned around and left the living room. All the officials next to him were sent away to help the army resettle the refugees.
Soon, only Zhu Cihong and Wu Yan were left in the living room.
The Jin Yiwei was guarding the door.
"How is it? How is the situation in Shandong?"
Zhu Cixiang asked Wu Yan standing aside with serious eyes.
With a wry smile in his eyes, Wu Yan looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said: "Your Highness, the situation in Shandong is complicated and very difficult. The total number of acres in each government is only 610,000 hectares, but in reality
There are at least nearly 800,000 hectares of various privately owned fields! The situation of underreporting farm property is very serious.
What's more important is the population concealment. The number of people we can find is only more than five million, but in fact, almost all powerful families are concealing their population! I asked people to investigate, and the actual number is at least 30% higher!
"
As he spoke, Wu Di sighed slightly.
"So how much land do you have in your hands now?"
Zhu Cixiang asked with a calm face towards Wu Zong who was standing aside.
"About 100,000 hectares of land."
Wu Di pondered for a moment, looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said.
Hearing Wu Zong's words, Zhu Cixiang shook his head slightly, looked at Wu Zong in front of him calmly and said, "I feel a little soft-hearted! I came to Shandong this time because I want to turn the whole Shandong upside down!"
Hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Wu Yan was slightly startled. He hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said, "Your Highness, it's better to take your time! I'm afraid that the rear is unstable. What if..."
"It doesn't matter! They're just a group of landlords and gentry, they can't cause any trouble!"
There was a hint of sneer in Zhu Cixiang's eyes.
He looked at Wu Yan in front of him calmly and said: "Mr. Wu Ge, haven't you understood what happened to Li Zicheng this time? He who wins the hearts of the people will win the world. It is not an empty talk!
These landlords and gentry oppress the people, but we only need to be good to the people, and if the people follow us, then won’t the world also follow us?”
Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly, looked at Wu Di in front of him and said.
At this time, there was a hint of hesitation in Wu Yan's eyes.
"However, our officials now are used to being domineering in front of the people..."
"Then train some new officials!"
Zhu Cixiang said with a cold expression.
"Let all refugees and all children of civilians be eligible to enter government-run schools! A graded examination will be adopted, and all poor people can participate in the exam. Those who pass the exam will be awarded certificates of four levels: A, B, C, and D, according to their merits.
Anyone who obtains a passing certificate will have the opportunity to enter the government and become an official! Then, official promotion is entirely based on performance assessment, and only those with political achievements can be promoted!"
Hearing Zhu Cihong's words, Wu Yan was shocked. He looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him with a hint of shock in his eyes.
Of course he knows how much impact this system will have on the current official system.
"Then what are they taking the test... Is it also the Four Books and Five Classics, the Eight-Part Essay..."
Wu Di hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him and said.
"of course not!"
Zhu Cixi said calmly.
"Test arithmetic, test nature, test classics, and test history!"
"What is nature?"
Wu Di looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him in confusion.
"Those who study things are natural! During agricultural production, the names of all things, the principles of water conservancy facilities, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, everything is natural!"
After listening to Zhu Cihong's words, Wu Hong probably understood this subject as agriculture.
He nodded.
For officials, agriculture is indeed very important, not to mention arithmetic. They should also learn some classics and understand some history!
"Your Highness is wise!"
Wu Yan was convinced and saluted Zhu Cihong in front of him.
"But, Your Highness, where does this money come from?"
Wu Yan suddenly thought of something at this time. With a wry smile on his face, he looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him and said.
"And where do teachers come from? The arithmetic and agriculture you mentioned are probably not something ordinary teachers can teach."
"As for teachers, let those criminal officials who have committed crimes be the teachers. There are also other talented people and so on. If they are willing to be teachers, they can also be.
All criminal officials who have committed crimes, if they can teach ten people who can be awarded first-class diplomas, their crimes will be reduced by one level. If other scholars and scholars, etc., can teach ten people who can be awarded first-class diplomas, they will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver, with priority
Give him an official title!"
After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, Wu Di nodded.
"As for money, let's take it slow first! There must be a road to the mountains, and if Shandong Province does this, the Ming Dynasty's finances can still afford it!"
Zhu Cixi said calmly.
After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, Wu Zong couldn't help but glance at His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Okay, regarding the resettlement of the refugees, let's resettle them separately. With a thousand people in a village, resettle them near those fields. Is that okay?"
