Chapter 53 Middle School Textbooks

After hearing this, Yu Qian felt a little sad.

In the year of knowing destiny, Yu Qian lost his original edges and became smoother.

However, Yu Qian's persistence in his heart did not change at all.

This is also the reason why Yu Qian didn't want to take over the position of chief minister. His health is one reason. But his political disagreement with the emperor is another reason.

However, in his position, Yu Qian still felt that he should express his opinion. Although he knew that the emperor would not listen, Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty, since Your Majesty took power, he has made many major events. The court's taxes are in full. The ministers think that the people are sufficient and the country is inadequate. Now the south is more important than food and the north is more important than service. If your Majesty wants to achieve great harmony, there is no excessive reduction of service and taxes, and rest with the people. For example, the heavy taxes in Jiangnan and the heavy duty of the Jiubian Post can be reduced as appropriate, so that the people can enjoy the prosperous era of peace."

Zhu Qizhen was silent for a while.

Actually, he knows.

Zhou Chen’s financial reform is more centered on the Ministry of Revenue and is a reform at the central level. Zhou Chen dared not point out the grassroots land tax.

And clearing the land of 100 million did not reduce much burden to the people.

There is no change in the north than service, and in the south than food.

Even the strengthening of the imperial court's national strength has made the people pay a little more than before.

This is also a different interpretation of the current situation.

Zhu Qizhen wanted to carry out thorough reforms and open up the path of the Ming Dynasty toward industrial society. However, Yu Qian's idea was to make subtraction and limit the expenses of the court, so as to benefit the people while maintaining the operation of the court, and to reduce the burden on the people and make the people live a better life.

In fact, to be honest, let an ordinary old farmer be here. I guess they raised their hands to agree with Yu Qian's opinion.

However, Zhu Qizhen saw further. In order to promote reform and reform, he must have more resources. The result of industrialization is a good thing for the people and a benevolent government, but the process of industrialization is hard to say.

Now only Zhu Qizhen is alone in perseverance.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen understood Shang Jun's words deeply: "The foolish people secretly accomplish things, and the wise people see them before they arise. People cannot start with worrying about them, but can succeed with happiness."

Zhu Qizhen said, "I have recorded what sir said."

It was just a note. Zhu Qizhen changed his voice and said, "Does sir think the order to promote learning be practicable?"

Speaking of this situation, what else can Yu Qian say? But his desire to leave rose again from his heart and said, "Your Majesty is wise, but the old minister is not as good as the old minister."

Zhu Qizhen looked at Yu Qian and knew that Yu Qian would not have been able to stay in the cabinet for a long time.

Even Yu Qian used his prestige to help Zhu Qizhen complete the Biyong meeting, which was already repaying the grace of the king and his ministers for knowing each other. You should know that although Yu Qian was more pragmatic, he did not think that Yu Qian believed in the so-called New Ram's Fifth Generation.

In fact, the whole court is the same now.

As a set of theories, how many people really believe it? Zhu Qizhen also knew it.

Zhu Qizhen thought to himself: "The adjustment of the cabinet cannot be delayed any more."

Before, he had been dragging the cabinet to adjust because what he wanted now was a cabinet that fully supports reform and had the ability to reform. He had to consider every one of them.

There is nothing else. He wants to use his cabinet to suppress all officials and promote various reforms.

This is why he has been reluctant to draw a conclusion.

However, no matter how many people believe in the theory of reform, the reform has entered the implementation stage from the brewing stage. If we say that the current academic order is promoted and there is still some meaning of appeaseing the court officials, the following reforms are not so gentle.

Therefore, he urgently needs a strong cabinet support.

Yu Qian doesn't seem to have this intention.

Zhu Qizhen said, "Sir, let me release the news."

After Yu Qian and Zhu Qizhen unified their opinions, the relevant content of the Promotion of the Education Order soon appeared on Ming Pao.

Now the Ming Dynasty is also used to the existence of Ming Pao.

It is normal to take a breather on the Ming Pao before the government order is officially drafted.

However, the news came out, which made many people lose their voices at first, and then began to praise the emperor again. After all, running a school is considered politically correct in Confucian theory.

From the point of view, this matter is impeccable.

However, there is still a lot of debate in the details.

Shang Lu was the Minister of Rites and presided over the compilation of middle school textbooks.

It took more than two months to compile the framework of middle school textbooks.

Shang Lu presented Zhu Qizhen with the newly compiled middle school textbooks.

Zhu Qizhen opened and found that half of the content of the textbooks were all about Neo-Confucianism, and the Four Books and Five Classics were not lost. It can be said that as long as you study well in middle school, you can take the imperial examination.

Zhu Qizhen looked up and thought about Shang Lu.

Shang Lu said: "Your Majesty, I have to do this too. Otherwise, the Ministry of Rites will not be able to pass it."

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a moment, sighed softly, and said, "Put the content of Spring and Autumn Annals on the Song of the Spring and Autumn Annals. As for the other two, you can put them on."

Just as Marx's principles are indispensable in university textbooks, it is impossible to learn the Four Books and Five Classics in the Ming Dynasty.

The influence of Neo-Confucianism is definitely not something that Zhu Qizhen can defeat in a victory in a meeting. However, Zhu Qizhen cannot do anything in the imperial examination, but it is also possible to think of re-ram in the middle school textbooks.

Shang Lu said: "I understand, and I will change it if I go down."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and continued to read. The other middle school textbooks are water conservancy, documents, mathematics, accounts, and other skills that minor officials must master.

Then Zhu Qizhen closed the book in his hand and said, "That's all for now. As long as you do it, the Minister of Rites will be yours in the future."

Shang Lu said, "I thank Your Majesty."

Zhu Qizhen did not have to control the Ministry of Rites, but he allowed so-called people to restrict him in the name of the Minister of Rites. Therefore, when Shang Lu entered the Ministry of Rites, Li Shi also served many missions. He was a person who knew the current affairs and was flexible and would not do anything.

After Zhu Qizhen sent Shang Lu away.

The first decree of Zhu Qizhen's reform was implemented by the Ministry of Rites, and thirty-two middle schools were jointly established, each of which could only accommodate hundreds of people.

Even so, there are as many as 20,000 to 30,000 students across the country.

However, if you want to build this scale, it will probably take several years to build a secondary school in Lhasa, especially in some remote places, such as in Lhasa. It is estimated that it will be a good result to build a middle school in Lhasa in a few years.

After dealing with this matter, the prince came to say goodbye.

Now the storm at the Biyong Association has gradually subsided. Zhu Qizhen did not want to keep the prince in the capital. First of all, during the Biyong Association, there was more conflict of ideas.

Zhu Qizhen was willing to keep the prince and let him feel some of this atmosphere.

But the next thing must be implemented on specific matters. Zhu Qizhen was worried that many ministers intend to surround the prince.

By that time, Zhu Qizhen may not be able to stop.

Zhu Qizhen may not have felt that he had long been a ruthless politician. In his heart, his great cause of reform is much more important than his son's life.

He wanted to release his son in advance, which certainly avoided conflicts between father and son. But if there was a conflict between father and son because of reforms, what would he do?

This seems like something that doesn't need to be thought about.

But the prince reported a happy event and said, "Father, the princess is pregnant."

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he was happy at first. Although he was in his early forties and was about to hold his grandson, he was a little uncomfortable. However, the inheritance of the royal bloodline was always something that made him happy.

But he immediately discovered that the prince looked like he wanted to speak but stopped.

I immediately understood the prince’s thoughts.

This is the prince's first child.

Of course, it is not that the prince has no women outside, but that Zhu Qizhen warned the prince that the eldest son must be born to the princess, so that he can avoid many troubles.

However, the prince was away all year round and did not stay in the capital for too long. This is why the prince only had his first child after several years of marriage.

In this way, the prince will inevitably feel licking his son and does not want to go to Annan.
