Kunning Palace.

Before the King of Chu left the Forbidden City, he came here to pay homage to his mother and then excitedly prepared the magazine.

Whether it is running a magazine or doing other businesses in the future, you have to learn and exercise slowly, not overnight.

In the evening, Zhao Han came to Kunning Palace, sat down and chatted for a few words, and asked casually: "How much did you give to Chinger again?"

"Five hundred taels of silver," Fei Rulan said angrily, "You are unhappy if you give too much. I haven't seen any emperor treat his children so carelessly."1

Zhao Han Xiaoruo said: "He gave too much money, so he only knows how to enjoy it. How could he still be willing to make a living by himself?" 4

Zhao Han is actually using his children to experiment to see how they can develop. Everything can be adjusted, such as increasing the salary of the royal family, the bottom line cannot be ridiculously high. The salary of the prince three times that of the first rank is the limit. 44

Or, a franchise license will be granted in the future, but the scope of the franchise will be limited.2

As for the prince to stay in the capital or go to the local area to take advantage of the vassal, this is also under observation and experiment. Qi 2 Fei Rulan suddenly cared about Pan Qimei's child and asked curiously: "The King of Jin will not be in danger in India, right?" "It shouldn't be possible. He chose a small country." Zhao Han said.1

At this time, King Zhao Kuangdong of Jin was still harvesting winter rice in India. Several foreign wars did not begin and the domestic situation was unknown.

Fei Rulan has a son who has not graduated from middle school. Among the three biological princes, the eldest is the prince, the second is engaged in business, and the third wants to arrange it. But she wants the child to stay by her side and want the child to do something. Fei Rulan is very confused. 4

"What is the climate in India? I heard it is very hot there." Fei Rulan asked again.

Zhao Han nodded: "It's very hot, even in winter, southern India occasionally has more than 30 degrees." { 3

Fei Rulan said: "All princes are spoiled, how can they stand this kind of weather? There are no good doctors in India. What if you have a headache or fever?" Zhao Han smiled and said: "There are all doctors who come with you and bring a lot of medicinal materials."

Fei Rulan said: "Your Majesty, don't deceive me. Famous doctors are unwilling to go out to sea. All those who go to India are quack doctors and apprentices."4

"There are also a few skilled doctors who have been with the teacher for many years," Zhao Han explained. "Last time Huan'er got sick, there was still a difficult and complicated disease. Didn't Dr. Hu just ask his apprentice to ask for the treatment? The prescription prescribed by his apprentice did not change a word, and Huan'er had medicine in a few days before he got sick." 2

Fei Rulan nodded and said, "I remember that apprentice. It seems that it is called Zhou Xin or something?"

Zhao Han said, "I'm going to follow King Jin to India this time." "That's great, it's reassuring." Fei Rulan smiled.

The next day, the imperial meeting.

Not only did the ministers of various departments participate, but the Crown Prince Zhao Kuanghuan and Qu Guan were also allowed to listen.

Wang Diaoding, Minister of Rites, first reported on his work: "The Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Rites have compiled a comparison table of common words and phrases for each ethnic group, and will be sent to the official history of relevant regions across the country next month. However, the comparison table of words and phrases for each ethnic group in Qinghai and Tibet has not yet been compiled."8

"It's already good." Zhao Han praised.

Zuo Xiaoliang, Minister of Personnel, said: "There are more and more prefectures and counties in Guangnan Province from Miao people, which has caused dissatisfaction among Yue tribe members. The situation is a bit difficult. Yue tribe members resist the government orders and often disobey the situation. Guangnan Province has replaced many Yue tribe members, but the matter is still unable to be resolved. The Guangnan Provincial Administration Office requests additional education funds to open more primary and secondary schools."...

Zhao Han said: "The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Rites discuss this matter and give a plan within two months."

Zhao Han had already put forward the idea of ​​the Chinese nation, saying that the Han people are brothers and the ethnic groups are younger brothers. All he could do was not artificially create ethnic differences, but that the language of each ethnic group could not be communicated.

Officials also have certain tendencies when governing.

For example, in the southwest region, when selecting historical personnel in prefectures and counties,

They would be more inclined toward Han people. However, in Guangnan Province, there were not many Han people there, so in addition to selecting Han historians, they also gave priority to the Miao people and the Yue people who could speak Chinese.

The Miao and Han people are obviously closer! 14

You can draw conclusions from language and vocabulary that although Miao languages ​​of different ethnic groups are different, they are generally similar. Sun, moon, people, hands, mouth, big, small, more, less, middle, lower, fish, bird... These basic Miao language words can all be found in Chinese.1

For example, the pronunciation of "shu" and "character" in Miao language is "dou". The pronunciation of characters such as "niu", "ma" is very similar to that in Chinese. This shows that a long time ago, the Han and Miao people came from the same source. Although Yue language also has a large number of words and is very similar to that in Chinese, most of them are inferior to advanced words, rather than basic words.

For example, princess, wages, etiquette, calendar, New Year's Day, transportation, and the pronunciation of Yue and Chinese is no different. In this case, it is borrowing foreign words, not the same at the beginning. Of course, there are also a few basic words similar, such as sitting, letting, cold, east, etc.

In any case, there are many Miao people in Guangnan Province. They used to be second-class citizens in Vietnam, but are now selected as historical members by Han officials.

Of course, the Yue tribe was unhappy. Although the number of Yue tribe's historians far exceeded that of the Miao tribe, they were just unbalanced. Even the Yue tribe's people did not want to see the Miao tribe's historians. They only accepted being ruled by the Han people. i7

Ethnic conflicts are becoming increasingly fierce, and there has not been a riot at this time, but various small conflicts are emerging one after another, and it is even more common for Yue clan historians to commit lip service and disobedience.

―The smell is suppressed, it cannot be suppressed.

Only by increasing investment in education and opening more schools can we let Yue and Miao children learn to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters. This will take one or two generations to achieve initial results.8

Speaking of education, the Minister of Rites Wang Diaoding said: "Several overseas governors sent official letters to request the establishment of examination rooms. Similar to the provincial examination, the court asked the court to give juren quotas and then send them to Nanjing for the imperial examination together."

Chief assistant Liu Ziren said: "Even Luzon, which was occupied first, is still discussing the establishment of the University of Manila. There are not even a university overseas, so I am in a hurry to conduct some provincial examinations. Do they have so many academic scholars?" 6

"Yes," Wang Diaoding explained, "one is the children of the garrison, and the other is the original Han people. Take Palembang and Semarang for example. The Han people there have been reproduction for two or three hundred years. Although they have been converted to the Green Church, they are also using Chinese characters. Children from wealthy families have to learn the Four Books and Five Classics."

After discussion among the ministers, Zhao Han finally made a decision: "There are a total of ten juren places for the overseas governors. Students from all over the country will take the exam in Coconut City and get ten juren. These ten people will come to the Nanjing Examination again, set up a separate examination room, and give a juren place. This is called...attached to the list." 7

The so-called "juren" means a college graduate. There is no university overseas and it is a temporary policy...

The total number of Han people from all over the country is 200,000 to 300,000. Although there are very few senior intellectuals, they have to give them a hope. Specially, they have to set up ten Juren and one Jinshi quota for overseas Han people, which has far greater political significance than practical significance. 1

Fei Chun, who has expired in Ding You, is now an ordinary cabinet minister. He said: "If you set up an overseas imperial examination, you have to clearly define your household registration and academic status. Many overseas immigrants have their household registration and are only sent overseas. If you don't clearly define your household registration, you may have Fujian and Guangdong scholars, but you go to overseas exams." 2

Immigration for college entrance examinations was already very common in the Ming Dynasty.

It was even more obvious in Taiwan in the Qing Dynasty. The first few Jinshis in Taiwan were all from Fujian and Guangdong. "This matter is not easy," said Guo Shunyu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Zhao Han said: "It is not easy to do it. Let overseas immigrants determine their household registration as soon as possible. It is also okay to continue to retain their original homework, but children are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination. Once they are found to be sent to the imperial examination, they will be deprived of their qualifications for the three generations of imperial examinations. If they settle overseas, their mainland land can be given to their family members or relatives. The government should not forcefully take it back, otherwise no one will be willing to settle overseas."

Those who immigrate alone will naturally leave the land to their relatives in the mainland.

Those who immigrated with their families said it was a gift, but in fact they admitted that land transactions were in disguise.

Guo Shunyu said: "We must also cooperate with the tax policy. If you are registered overseas, the amount of tax will remain unchanged. If you are registered overseas, additional land tax will be added!"

At this time, there is no household registration and network connection, so you can definitely take advantage of loopholes when you have a household registration.

However, the immigrant has been overseas for a long time. Over time, his land in the mainland will naturally become owned by his relatives. If his family relocates, it will be even more unsafe, and it is mostly occupied by relatives and friends or neighbors. Therefore, dual household registration cannot bring any benefits. It is better to go to the overseas government to implement the household registration clearly.,6

Moreover, there is only one overseas Jinshi quota, and the income from imperial examination immigrants is not high.

Basically, it can solve the problem of overseas household registration, and some loopholes are ignored.7

Today's imperial examination is basically related to education, after all, I just finished the palace examination.

Zhao Han asked: "Officials from the Zhongbang and Beibang areas have successively submitted letters to request adjustment of the quota of Jinshi. What do you think?" "The proportion of the north and south middle rankings in the dynasty has been used since the Ming Dynasty. I don't think there is any need to change it." Chief Liu Ziren spoke first.

Most of the ministers from the cabinet came from the Nanbang, and they all agreed with Liu Ziren. Some even said that the competition for the imperial examination in the Nanbang was fierce and the proportion should be increased as appropriate.

But the Minister of Rites came from Shandong. Wang Diaoding said: "Although the proportions are the same, the region is different. What's more, the list of Guangnan Province has increased, and the list of Xuantu Province has increased, the northern list of Xuantu Province has increased. In principle, even the Mongolians on the grassland can also participate in the imperial examination. The ministers suggest that the proportion of places in the examination should be adjusted. Especially for the list of the list, there are more and more outstanding scholars."

This time, the imperial examination results were significantly explosive for scholars from Sichuan and Hunan.

Especially Sichuan, it has not experienced much war. Not only is it the most populous in the province, but it also has a deep foundation in the imperial examination. The scholars from Chengdu County and Fushun County took 12 Jinshi exams this year, and other areas on the list were sentenced to death and injuries.

"It needs to be changed." Zhao Han said.

Officials from the Nanbang area were unwilling to accept this, but they could not object to the emperor's opinion, so they could only glar at Wang Diaoding.

Of course, Zhao Han also made compromises to increase the number of Jinshi in the next term...

There is no fixed quota for the number of Jinshi, but it is adjusted according to the official vacancies. Each term of Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty was between 300 and 400.

The Datong imperial court has a vast territory and more officials are needed. The next imperial examination quota will increase to 451, a fraction of the number of overseas candidates.

That is: 225 Jinshi (50), 171 Jinshi (38), and 54 candidates (12) on the North

Although the proportion of Jinshi in the southern list has decreased, the overall number of Jinshi has increased, and in fact, it can still take several more exams than before.

Zhao Han held a meeting today, not only to talk about these things, but also to do something else.

Zhao Han said: "It is not easy for scholars to go to Beijing to take the exam in provinces such as Gansu, Yunnan and Guizhou, and Guangnan. I plan to divide the exam into several places. Those who fail the exam can go home nearby, and those who pass the exam will come to Nanjing Palace Examination again."

Everyone looked at each other, and even Wang Diaoding was stunned.

The ministers opposed it one after another, but the opposition was ineffective. Zhao Han smiled and said, "It's better to try it out for two terms and see the results."

Zhao Han’s idea is because the land area continues to expand, so it is really difficult for candidates in marginal provinces to go to Beijing to take the exam. Just going to Beijing to take the exam is a large amount of administrative expenses. If you can take the exam nearby, those who fail the exam don’t have to go too far, and the related expenses will also be reduced, and both the scholars and the court can benefit. 6

Of course, the provincial capital test will definitely not work.

Three examination areas were set up nationwide. The Southern List Examination was held in Nanjing, the Northern List Examination was held in Beijing, and the Middle List Examination was held in Baling (Yueyang). After the 29th Third List Examination, the candidates who failed the examination went home directly, leaving only more than 400 people to come to the Nanjing Palace Examination.

The palace examination time must be adjusted, delayed by one and a half months than before.

The three major examination areas, the chief examiner and the reviewer are dispatched by the central government, and the local government is responsible for organizing the examination. 2

In the future, the examination areas will be added, such as overseas rankings. According to geographical conditions, the examinations with rankings will be held in Coconut City. The premise is that there are enough overseas candidates and enough overseas universities, otherwise you will only get a pitiful quota.

This is not only an imperial examination issue, but also a matter of setting up the Beibang Examination District in Beijing, but also enhancing Beijing's political influence.

Next, we will divide the national war zones in detail to enhance Beijing's military influence, radiate to the Northeast and grasslands, and consolidate the dominance of the border.
