I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 18 Long live the lord, the slaves are subdued!

Regarding the Daming Academy, Zhu Youjian, Wei Zhongxian, Xu Guangqi, and Song Yingxing conspired for several hours, imagining various difficulties and obstacles.

Even Zhu Youjian, who threw away the shopkeeper, planned to play in person.

As a result, once it was announced, it attracted unanimous praise from the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty?
Zhu Youjian felt a little strange.

Could it be that the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty have long disliked the "national policy" of the court that does not pay attention to science and technology and blindly requires the people to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism?
It's just that everyone knows it well, but no one proposes it?Or, dare not bring it up?
Thinking about it carefully, there is really such a possibility...

After Emperor Yongle, for a long time, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were either obsessed with cultivating immortals, addicted to wine and sex, or like Emperor Tianqi, hiding in the harem to do carpentry work, few of them were normal.

It seems that the relationship between the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty has long begun to be alienated!
Among scholars, farmers, businessmen, the government has always been controlled by "scholars", and the voices above the court are full of sage articles and moral articles, but as "students" supported by the people at the bottom, they have already realized that they want to make more If you have a lot of money, you should protect and help the common people?
Sigh, this question is too complicated, it just hurts my head to think about it.

"Forget it, let it be done anyway, don't care what the reason is..."

Zhu Youjian thought about it casually, and stopped thinking about it. What he cared about was the preparation of the Daming Academy, how much money could be wasted.

"My dear friends are all sincere, and everyone wants to let me, Daming, get rid of the predicament of internal and external troubles as soon as possible. I am very relieved!"

"Since everyone thinks that there is a lot to be done in this matter, I would like to thank you dear ministers, we, the monarchs and ministers, will work together to complete this important event that benefits the country and the people."

"Let me make a statement first. Since I want to run the Daming Academy, I have to choose a good place. I decided to donate my former hidden residence, Xinwang Mansion."

As soon as Zhu Youjian finished speaking, the officials were in an uproar again.

This time, however, it was all opposition.

This is also very normal, even if all civil and military officials hope so, but the hidden residence of the emperor before he ascended the throne is often only rewarded to the prince and grandson, how can there be any reason to donate it to run a school?

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible at this time!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, the Qian mansion was donated to run a school, and this matter spreads, making people who don't know it think that my Ming Dynasty can't even come up with this little money, which is a disgrace to the country!"

……

The ministers dissuaded him one after another, but Zhu Youjian was determined to donate it.

There is no way, just now when he opened his mouth to express his opinion, there was an extra 8000 points of 'prodigal value' in the task panel, which made him happy to click on the upgrade again.

With a black face on his face, he looked at the back of his life, adding a full 60 years, a Xinwang Mansion is nothing!

"My dear friends, please don't say too much, I... wish I could donate another Xinwang Palace, but it's a pity that there are no more..."

Zhu Youjian shook his head and sighed, and said with emotion: "It can improve the production efficiency of the people all over the world, and it can give our Ming Dynasty an extra few million stones of grain every year, weave hundreds of thousands of silks more, and dig hundreds of thousands more. Thousands of catties of salt, iron and coal...

Even if I donate this Forbidden City, I am willing! "

"One life, one autumn of grass and trees, even if our monarchs and ministers occupy a garden of [-] acres and have tens of thousands of mansions, it will be nothing but a fleeting cloud after all."

"So, I often think, as long as the people in the world can have enough food and clothing, provide for their old age, and seldom learn, what is a house that is nothing!"

What he said was really eloquent and eloquent, with strong cadence and ups and downs, so loud that many veteran officials burst into tears.

Before the court, there was a sigh of relief.

"Okay, when I think that our Great Ming Dynasty will one day flourish and prosper again, I can't help but lose my composure.

Next, let's continue the discussion. "

Zhu Youjian was immersed in his mind, and began to think about how to plan the Daming Academy, so that he could justifiably waste and waste money, and let the officials quarrel...

After three full hours, a rough framework and regulations were finally drawn up.

What surprised Zhu Youjian was that the teaching framework of the "Daming Academy" formed by these seemingly rigid and serious ministers of civil and military affairs after fierce quarrels was almost the same as the curriculum of the Qinghua University Hall of later generations!
Especially the so-called "remnants of the Donglin Party" and Qi Dang and other scholars, even though they are full of words, they can say one, two, three, four when talking about water conservancy facilities, salt and iron mines, and firearms manufacturing. ...

I can be a good loser.

Reward, let Shangshan Supervisor prepare lunch, and I want to have a drink with all my lovers, and I won’t return if I don’t get drunk!

So, half an hour later, there were more than thirty tables with all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, and the aroma of wine was overflowing, and the food was fragrant.

In the Jinluan Hall, the monarch and his subjects had fun together, eating and drinking, and laughing and talking.

After more than 200 years, the Ming Dynasty finally reproduced the grand occasion of Taizu's cannonballing Qinggong Tower.

However, Zhu Youjian is not Zhu Yuanzhang, he is too lazy to fight and kill, and the monarch and his ministers are of one mind, wouldn't it be nice to prodigal together?

Seeing the extra "prodigal value" he gained, Zhu Youjian almost couldn't close his legs from laughing...

"Long live Lord, according to the discussion of the ministers, a constitution for a university hall has been drawn up, please read it!"

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Holding a thick stack of papers in both hands, Wei Zhongxian flattered Zhu Youjian: "Long live God, the subject setting, teaching purpose, and the future of the students after their studies are basically complete..."

Zhu Youjian was busy eating and drinking, so he couldn't care less about these things. He just smiled and waved his hands and said, "Don't bother me with these shits in the future! You can just figure it out!"

Um, no, after graduating from the university, students will definitely go to work. Isn't that a lot of money?

"Zhongxian, how do you discuss the salaries of the students in this university?" Zhu Youjian put down his wine glass and asked seriously.

"This...hasn't been considered yet."

Wei Zhongxian was confused when he was asked, and thought, isn't this so-called "Daming Academy" just a skill training school, and the treatment of its students is really the same as the imperial examination. Salary?

"Loyalty, it's not that I'm talking too much, what is the so-called Daming Academy we run? Isn't it to cultivate real talents for the Ming Dynasty?
In addition, don't use your brain to think about it, if the students who graduated from the university can't enjoy the national salary and the iron rice bowl, who will be kicked by the donkey and come to study eagerly? "

Zhu Youjian knocked Wei Zhongxian on the head with his chopsticks, and continued: "I will make a regulation for you first.

First of all, the students of Daming Academy are free of tuition fees during their studies, and they also take care of the allocation of food and accommodation;

Secondly, after they are successful in their studies, their salaries are divided into three grades and nineteen levels. The salary for junior titles, referring to nine-rank officials, must not be lower than that of public servants...

Cough, not lower than you officials.

In addition, the salary of the highest grade must be twice, or even triple, higher than that of the first-rank officials of the imperial court! "

Wei Zhongxian: "..."

The treacherous minister looked bewildered.

He felt that he was about to be dazzled by this new master.

"Long live, if this is the case, then... who will take the examination for scholar and examinee?" Wei Zhongxian's implication is that since Daming Academy is so good, who will take the imperial examination in the future?

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he suddenly realized.

"Long live, tall, really tall! Haha, hahaha!"

Wei Zhongxian squeezed his throat, let out a pig cry with laughter, and his face was full of reverence: "Long Live Lord, this servant is really convinced this time!"

Zhu Youjian: "..."

This treacherous minister, is he convinced?What have you taken?

I did nothing.

I just think that in the future, thousands of students will be trained every year. After they graduate, they will start to give them salary increases, bonuses, five insurances and one blond wife, and strive to waste a lot of money.

Could this be convincing?
