Chapter 345 Donglin Academy? I want him to become the Royal Academy(1/2)
"Don't dare? Of course I don't dare. You are already doing it. How can you say you don't dare? Why are scholars from Zhejiang Province called Donglin people?
You people in Donglin Academy, are you doing it for me and the world, or are you doing it for you Donglin? Do you really think that I am punishing you because of Wen Tiren???"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please calm down. The guilty minister has no second thoughts. In the past, it was the guilty minister who did not know how to avoid taboos, which led to your majesty mistakenly thinking that the guilty minister was in a faction. The guilty minister knew that he was wrong.
The guilty minister is willing to accept the punishment. During his stay in Nanzhi, the guilty minister even regretted losing his original intention. The guilty minister is willing to hand over the list of Donglin people for His Majesty to sort out."
Chongzhen's suddenly raised tone made Qian Qianyi so frightened that he bowed and did not dare to raise his head, and his body was shaking a little.
"After so many years, you have indeed grown a lot compared to the two years when I ascended the throne, not bad.
Qian Qianyi, what you just said, that you are loyal to me, is it true?"
"It is absolutely true that the guilty minister has never changed his sincerity towards Your Majesty."
"Then tell me with your loyalty, have the Donglin people become a scourge to the Ming Dynasty?
There is another organization called Fushe, oh, there is also the Zhejiang sect, the Xuan sect, etc. The Ming Dynasty has so many factions outside the court, do you think that’s okay?”
Chongzhen looked at Qian Qianyi who was silent and thinking. He didn't continue to speak. He picked up the tea cup and gently set aside a tea leaf floating on it, waiting for Qian Qianyi to make a decision.
Qian Qianyi felt his legs weak for a while after listening to Chongzhen's words. Fushe came from Donglin and was independent of Donglin. It was equivalent to a branch of Donglin and had nothing to do with each other.
Chongzhen has already targeted Fushe, a society that was only established nine years ago, which shows that he can no longer tolerate these factional issues.
"Back to Your Majesty, whether it is Donglin or Fushe, they are basically exchanges between like-minded groups who want to do something good and serve the Ming Dynasty and serve Your Majesty.
I cannot say that I know much about the criminals of other societies. Only in Donglin, there are indeed some people who behave in a group, attack dissidents, deceive the court, and violate the ideals of Donglin people, but these are only some people.
With the sound of wind and rain and the sound of reading, I care about family affairs, national affairs, and everything in the world. The motto of Donglin Academy has always been to take His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty as its ideal.
This is the concept of the guilty minister, and it is also the concept of every upright Donglin person. Donglin people have never forgotten that they must be loyal to Your Majesty, do things for the Ming Dynasty, and for the world."
Qian Qianyi's words made Chongzhen a little surprised. The order of this guy's words was actually in the shape of the newspaper. It was okay to put him at the front at any time.
"That sounds nice, but what have you done? You say that scholars, farmers, industry and commerce should be equal, but you oppose the mining tax and business tax, but you ignore the fact that the land tax is getting heavier and heavier.
You say you should be truthful and pragmatic, and learn and apply what you learn, but when it comes to officialdom and fighting, you are more ruthless than anyone else. Have you taken care of the lives of the people? What have you done when the people's fields have failed to harvest?
Maybe the concept of Donglin Academy was good at the beginning, but now Donglin has deteriorated and is completely rotten.
It's like a sore attached to Ming's body. If you were to treat this sore, what would you do?"
"Guilty minister... Guilty minister, please show mercy to Your Majesty. Not all Donglin people have changed their character. Donglin people are just like the sinful minister. They are the people who are devoted to the country and loyal to Your Majesty. They are the vast majority.
It is better to say that the whole of Donglin is the rot of the Ming Dynasty than to say that some people are the rot of Donglin. They have gained prestige in Donglin, excluded dissidents, and oppressed the upright Donglin people. For this kind of rot, the crime
I think it should be removed directly."
Qian Qianyi's words moved Chongzhen's heart. He did not shirk or fully agree with him, but took the initiative to take the lead.
"That's very good, but how do you prove that you are not a rotten sore? How do you prove that the upright people you mentioned are not rotten sores?"
"The guilty minister, the guilty minister is willing to cooperate with the imperial court, and is willing to eliminate the treacherous ministers in Donglin for Your Majesty. The guilty minister is willing to serve your Majesty, learn and practice."
"If I want you to go against the scholars in the world, and I want you to do something that is deviant in the eyes of the scholars, are you willing to obey?
If you are willing, I will tell you the arrangements for you. This is a great achievement. If you are not willing, after you leave this door, I will send you back to your hometown and you will not participate."
"I am willing, I am willing.
I have been studying for decades, in order to prepare for my ascension to the Emperor's Hall in the evening and to be used by His Majesty. If it cannot be used by Your Majesty, what is the purpose of reading this book?
Moreover, what your Majesty has done is seen by my eyes. The people of the four provinces surrounding the capital are all under the emperor's grace. They have provided relief to the victims, eradicated the plague, set an example by allocating fields to the people, and exempted and exempted taxes.
How can it be that the decisions made by Your Majesty, who defeated the border troubles, regained the lost territory, and renovated the corrupted defense posts, were bad decisions?
Even if anyone has an opinion, he is still a villain who does not understand the general situation. Such villains are enemies of the world and will be imprisoned."
When Qian Qianyi heard that Chongzhen said he was not willing to send him back, he immediately lost his hesitation.
He could see the situation in the capital. Chongzhen obviously had a problem with the word Donglin. If he didn't agree, the Qian family would be ruined by that idiot Qian Jun in this life, and even Donglin would have no future.
Moreover, with Chongzhen's power and his layout, it is not difficult to imagine that the scholars in Jiangnan will not have any chance in the future. The Zhu family has been released. By then, whether there are scholars or not, they will be able to govern the world.
"Okay, I'm going to set up a department called the Education Department, which is independent of the Ministry of Rites and directly under the guidance of the cabinet. It will be in charge of school construction, culture and education, imperial examinations, and literacy popularization.
I remember that you were implicated in a fraud case, and it was later verified that you indeed refused the bribe. I leave this aspect to you. I can rest assured and have the confidence to do a good job."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have confidence."
When Qian Qianyi heard about this position, he felt happy. It was independent of the Ministry of Rites and directly under the jurisdiction of the cabinet. Wouldn't it be equivalent to a new ministry?
Being in charge of the entire education and imperial examinations, doesn't this mean that he will be in charge of all the scholars in the world from now on?
"The second position is the temporary vice president of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Society. I want to unify all factions in the world. There can only be one society in the Ming Dynasty, so Donglin Academy must be changed to the Royal Academy."
"His Majesty!!!"
Qian Qianyi looked at Chongzhen with wide eyes. He never imagined that Chongzhen would actually play such a big game of chess and that the emperor would form a society himself???
"Any comments?"
"No, I think your Majesty's words are reasonable."
"Well, the third position is the branch director of Yanzhou Imperial Society, which is the position after Ming Dynasty Imperial Society has entered a stable stage.
When the time comes, I will leave you a piece of land in the South China Sea. If you work hard and you satisfy me, I will let your descendants pay tribute to you forever. If you don’t work hard or engage in small tricks, I will find out and be reported. Then I will let you
Descendants, uh, should I continue?"
"No, no, no, I understand."
Qian Qianyi understood instantly that if you do a good job, your descendants will pay tribute to you forever, which means that your family will be prosperous. If you don't do a good job, do you still need to pay tribute? The descendants will be gone.
Chongzhen's arrangement for Qian Qianyi was generally to use his reputation to select useful people among the Donglin people on a controllable basis, and then develop them.
And using the mature association model, they began to develop imperial societies on a small scale. From the imperial system, they gradually started to use elections and traditional mixed methods. This was a road that had not been traveled. After all, their situation was completely different from that of later generations.
In the future, as long as he joins the Royal Society, he must enter the dyeing vat of his own Royal Academy. He believes that when the Donglin people come out, everyone will have the surname Huang.
In reality on the other side, Chen Ye was working with He Tao in a camp in Fujian to hand over a batch of new land-based long-range manual positioning rockets.
"There are forty pieces in total, that should be enough, right?"
"That's enough, that's enough. This thing really doesn't need satellite guidance?"
"Are you kidding? This is just a very ordinary rocket. The purpose is to accurately cover the target area without satellites."
When He Tao heard that Chen Ye doubted the professionalism of the things, he immediately became unhappy. You can doubt me, but you can't doubt that there is something wrong with my product.
"Okay, that's all. But when I go to the Americas later, I still need armed helicopters. There are too many European ships in the Americas, and Lao Zhu feels bad for using rockets."
"You can buy an armed helicopter, but I don't recommend you buy an armed helicopter because you still have three flying skills.
Just let them line up dozens of them and fly in the air with rocket launchers to strike. Anyway, a sailboat can't outrun your plane with a speed of 180 kilometers per hour."
"Ah, that makes sense! Then let's do it."
After Chen Ye nodded in agreement, He Tao handed the signed document to the warehouse manager. The manager saluted and left the room.
"By the way, are your recent schedules free? We are going to arrange a blind date for you.
I will confirm your life-long events first, and then let you be busy in heaven, so that you don’t even have to deal with the daily affairs of dating."
"What about a blind date, uh, I remembered it.
Then in a week, I will be busy attacking the Dutch at night the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, then in a week."
He Tao nodded and left the camp together with Chen Ye. As for the administrator, he had not been notified yet and would have to come back to take over the empty camp in a few hours.
On the other side, Chen's mother was pawning goods at the mobile phone store below the community. This store was bought by Chen Ye for the two of them.
The purpose is to give the two elders a way to kill time. Anyway, mobile phones have wholesale prices and selling prices. They can sell them however they like. Whether they make money depends on their mood, and they can also learn about mobile phones by themselves.
Therefore, Chen’s father and Chen’s mother divided their work. From morning to afternoon, Chen’s mother would check the cash register at the store, while Chen’s father would go fishing or do other activities.
In the afternoon, Chen's father would stay at the shop while Chen's mother went to play cards. In the evening, they would go to drink tea with people they knew in the community or go for a walk in the park.
"Aunt Chen, are there any cost-effective mobile phones available recently?"
"Hey, it's Section Chief Xiao Li who's here. Come and sit down."
"Aunt Chen, you're making fun of me again. I work in the street office. It's not good for you to always call me my position.
I plan to buy a cheap and easy-to-use mobile phone today. I heard that people in our community come to you to buy mobile phones, and they can buy them cheaper than the official website price?"
When Ma Chen heard the greeting, she looked up and saw that it was Li Xiao, the recent popular figure in the community. He had just come to the street office and had hosted several activities in succession and dealt with many problems. He was very stable.
Of course, these were all told to her by Xiao He downstairs while gossiping with others while playing cards. The key is that the legend of this young section chief was also spread among poker friends.
The most important thing is that this Section Chief Li has helped Chen Ma. When they just opened their shop some time ago, someone reported their shop's fire protection problems and qualification issues.
When the firemen came to investigate, it was this little girl who helped explain the problem, and later helped with the qualifications, so it didn't get into a lot of trouble. In fact, Chen Ye could handle all of this, but...
When she heard that the girl she liked very much wanted to change her mobile phone, Mother Chen immediately became energetic and enthusiastically offered to sell it to her.
"Okay, it's a small bargain, it must be cheap, I'll give you the channel price.
Speaking of which, you really should change it. I remember your mobile phone. You said it was a Xiaomi Mi 6 bought with a scholarship. Which young person nowadays still uses such an old mobile phone.
How about buying an apple with 14 pieces of meat? Nowadays, little girls like apples, and your salary is quite high, so there is no need to buy the cheap ones.
