Zhou Jiang hurriedly advised that he hoped that this reason would prevent Su Yonglin from "rashly".
Su Yonglin said coldly, "When Wang Anshi’s political reform was carried out, it was already more than 300 years ago that the opposition of scholars was not more fierce than it is now." But hasn’t he changed, too I just changed it back. Why? He Wang Anshi became my Su Yonglin? "
Su Yonglin stared at Zhou Jiang and looked at Zhou Jiang’s pressure. Shan Dagen did not dare to look up.
But he still doesn’t want to compromise.
Once the imperial examination mode is changed through compromise, no one knows how many subjects Su Yonglin will come up with to select candidates, so the short-term advantage will be greatly reduced for their brother, and their hope that the imperial examination will introduce a large number of Shandong scholars to safeguard the interests of the regiment in the short term will fall.
Although they have the most educational resources in the long run, they can still have an advantage in taking students by subject, but how long will it last if they can’t consolidate their advantages?
This is not in their interest.
So he crustily skin of head and said, "I know this is not a must … but the sudden change of regulations at the national talent selection ceremony is not only not enough, but also not enough in terms of manpower and material resources …"
"It’s not necessary, it’s possible"
Su Yonglin shook his head. "If Wang Anshi was able to get this thing done, wouldn’t it be said that I was not even as good as Wang Anshi? Although I have many shortcomings, I really don’t want to admit that I am not as good as Wang Anshi. "
An emperor is not as good as a minister?
Who dares to admit this kind of remarks?
Seeing Su Yonglin raise the problem to this level, Zhou Jiang died down and dared not say anything more.
Kong Zheng looked at Zhou Jiang’s passive attitude, and Nuo Nuo repeatedly retreated and lost his mind. It is indisputable that he simply broke the jar and fell.
Turn to discuss with Su Yonglin on practical issues-
If you can handle it, we will admire you, but if you ask for it, but you can’t give us enough manpower and material resources, you can’t really blame us, can you?
Before Wang Anshi’s political reform, he also exchanged a lot of interests with the stakeholders in the imperial examination, or during the life-and-death struggle, the stakeholders were promoted or demoted. I don’t know that the whole process lasted for several years before the dust finally settled.
But now it’s only five months from Hongwu’s two-year imperial examination.
In five months, the emperor can complete the whole reform process?
Kong Zheng really doesn’t believe it.
Even according to the old imperial examination rules, it will take three rounds of examinations to select the final scholars. You don’t care about changing the imperial examination. How can you handle these three rounds of selection examinations?
It is not enough to make changes only from the central level, but also to make full changes from local institutions of higher learning, which will take years, units and periods, and will encounter different degrees of rebound in various places until the dust settles.
Wang Anshi’s imperial examination reform was carried out for more than ten years, and he was once changed back after his downfall. It was only after the reformists came to Taiwan again that his rules were restored. This is a permanent rule. Does the emperor intend to change the mind of heaven and man easily?
I’m afraid it won’t be easy?
At this moment, it is almost impossible for us to complete the transformation from the central government to the local government in five months, only five months after the two-year imperial examination in Hongwu.
I am not opposed to innovation, but it seems that it takes some time, not only for scholars to accept the imperial court when needed, but also for rearrangement when needed. "
Kong Zheng spoke again.
What he said is also true. Su Yonglin nodded instead of refuting him.
"Kong Qing said that it was a very serious problem, so I decided to cancel the local examination in Hongwu two-year imperial examination. Those who are willing to take the examination will come directly to Zhongdu to take the Hongwu two-year imperial examination and win or lose."
Su Yonglin gave the simplest and most economical strategy for the imperial court, which undoubtedly hit the officials of the Ministry of Rites as badly as Mars hit the earth.
"Positions this …"
"It’s urgent"
Su Yonglin stopped Kong Zheng from continuing to talk. "The most important thing of reform is that he can temporarily put aside the local exam and get into the Zhongdu exam. Anyway, it’s all an exam and change to a local exam. As far as the eyes are concerned, no matter how far the distance is, can’t he catch up in five months?" So this does not hinder the overall situation. "
Su Yonglin made this matter very easy as if it could be easily solved by doing what he said.
Everyone in the department of rites wanted to continue to dissuade them, but Su Yonglin refused, and forced the adoption of this resolution, asking the department of rites to be responsible for its implementation.
Does the official accept Su Yonglin’s request?
So far, Su Yonglin went on to discuss with them the idea of taking students by subject.
According to Su Yonglin’s idea, Confucian classics examination is a basic foundation, and some special examinations should be added, just like the Tang Dynasty imperial examinations.
Moreover, he didn’t just want to restore the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, but wanted to improve the foundation of the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty and make some more detailed examinations.
For example, he wants to promote engineering students.
"I deeply feel the importance of craftsmen to the country during the March. The ancients said that the three armed forces did not move food and grass first, so the first step in the March was to carry out food and grass to the country, which is the root of the agricultural country. This cannot be changed.
But in addition, there are many places to be concerned about in marching, such as military objects, which are not made and produced by the army itself-without the need for craftsmen.
Long knives, shields, armor, crossbows, arrows, military accounts, carts, and everything can’t be separated from craftsmen. Don’t talk about marching, just talk about daily life. Is it necessary to have craftsmen?
The city needs the guidance of craftsmen to repair farm tools, to make dams, to repair roads and to lay roads. We don’t understand these things, but we can’t do without these things and we can’t do without craftsmen. "
Su Yonglin got up and walked slowly around the palace with his hands on his back, saying "what’s on his mind".
Chapter 62 Four Families Take Scholars
Kong Zheng and others do not reject Su Yonglin’s statements.
Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the ancient people’s ideas of strangeness, cleverness, and ingenuity and Taoism have been restrained and criticized to some extent.
The Song Dynasty played a great role in correcting this phenomenon.
This is the true song dynasty, which is bigger than the Tang dynasty in this respect. The emergence of four major issues and three major issues is evidence of this period.
The government of Song Dynasty not only didn’t treat the work skillfully as the rulers did, but also formulated a reward system for outstanding science and technology.
So craftsmen have the motivation to develop technical tools. In the Song Dynasty, a large number of creations and exquisite thinking were unprecedented.
Moreover, people with outstanding talents in the field of science and technology are usually listed in the list of "wizards and talents" and can be directly selected into government agencies. For example, Feng Jisheng, a Song Dynasty, improved the gunpowder law and the court awarded them clothes and silks.
The Song government not only selected talents from the people, but also took the initiative to train talents. For example, the junior colleges set up by the Central Committee of the Song government, including the Medical College, the School of Computing, the School of Astronomy and Calendar, and the Military Academy, were all under the State Supervision.
In addition, the Song people also created a scholarship system for outstanding students, such as medical students giving 50 to 15 yuan according to their grades, average and so on.
This has made people who have devoted themselves to the technology distribution column get tangible benefits, and naturally encouraged more and more people to join the science and technology distribution column, which both promoted the development of science and technology in the Song Dynasty subjectively and objectively.
Although this practice is rough and not systematic, it is still of great help to the Song government to enhance its national strength.
Su Yonglin once thought about why the Song Dynasty did this. Many policies in the Song Dynasty were so different from those in previous dynasties. He thought that the main reason was to regain this because of the loss of the sixteen prefectures Law.
The loss of sixteen prefectures, Hebei Province, can be defended by the military and recaptured by law, which brings great national defense pressure, forcing the Song government to find a breakthrough in the economic and scientific fields
