First Minister of Ming Dynasty

But even so, it will take time for these young people to grow up.

It is conceivable that for a long time in the imperial court, there were still such old people who stepped into the new era with one foot and struggled in the quagmire of the old era with the other.

For these people, it is necessary to strictly supervise and educate them at the same time.

Of course, the more important thing is to let the unqualified get out!

Li Shanchang first came to the Ministry of Rites. Some time ago, under Zhu Yuanzhang, the Minister of the Household Department was unlucky all day long. The main reason was that he was short-lived and greedy. Old Zhu almost killed several times.

Now it's the turn of the Ministry of Rites.

Not long ago, because of his opposition to the establishment of Fudan School, Qian Yongren was expelled to Shandong.

After Qian Yongren, there is Cui Liang, who is now in charge of the daily affairs of the Ministry of Rites.

He also participated in the revision of the female ring.

Up to now, Cui Liang knew that his love was irreversible, so he could only say: "Li Xiang, the lower official is incompetent, but because he failed to comprehend the meaning of Zhang Xiang, he had to resign from office and go home. I, I am really wronged! Female Ring It’s a book that has been around for a long time, we can’t let our temper fool us!”

Li Shanchang snorted coldly, at this time, do you still want the old man to speak for you?

And your problem isn't just that you can't fix your books!

"Cui Liang, you are in charge of the Ministry of Rites. Do you know how many people in the Ministry of Rites failed this time?"

Cui Liang was stunned, Li Shanchang simply said: "There are 27 people in total, and you are the crown of every department. You are really amazing!"

Cui Liang turned pale with shock, "How come there are so many? Your official, your answer is correct!"

Li Shanchang simply sneered, have you never seen such a stupid thing?

"If you don't even know the national policy of Ming Dynasty, you are a dignified minister of the Ministry of Rites, you should die! Are you quite happy? How do you manage to be such a waste in the Ministry of Rites?"

Cui Liang was taken aback, and his old face couldn't help turning red.

Li Shanchang didn't listen to his nonsense, and said directly: "You can go back to your hometown now, think about it for yourself, don't worry, there is plenty of time, think slowly!"

In this way, a minister was dismissed from office again, and returned to his hometown in disgrace.

This matter is a bit troublesome, because under normal circumstances, the assessment by the Ministry of Officials is to determine the promotion and scheduling of officials. If the Ministry of Officials thinks you are not good enough, you can be dismissed and return to your hometown, and you can get a salary for the elderly.

After all, the Ministry of Officials said that you are not suitable to be an official.

But the provincial government is different. It is aimed at the officials themselves, not the issue of official positions, but the issue of insufficient basic qualifications.

In this way, the official clothes were taken off, and even the salary was gone.

Fortunately, after returning to the hometown, there is still a piece of land that can be farmed honestly.There is no need to bend down for five buckets of rice.

You can go back to your hometown and become Tao Yuanming.

The Ministry of Rites, which is famous for its enlightenment, has since been ministered, and almost 30 people were stripped of their official clothes together... They wanted to educate others, but they failed the exam, which was a shame.

The degree of shame is almost equivalent to being a monk for decades, and suddenly there are both sons and daughters.

The Ministry of Rites became a laughing stock.

And there is a yamen, the degree of shame can be compared with the Ministry of Rites.

On the side of the Hanlin Academy, three unqualified students were found.

Song Lian, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, was so angry that he almost fainted.

The Hanlin Academy, the entire Ming Dynasty, where the highest academic qualifications are, also produced trash who didn't know the national policy, and three of them appeared at once.

Song Lian felt that he was being attacked one after another, and he was ready to die.

However, the Imperial Academy is different from the Ministry of Rites. Although Song Lian is a bachelor in charge of the Academy, other Imperial officials are not obedient.Because of this, Song Lian was not implicated either.

But Song Lian was also so angry that even though he entered the Imperial Academy, I didn't care much about it.

But it doesn't matter, I can prevent you from entering the Hanlin Academy!

Song Lian directly told the others not to let a lot of rotten Confucians in for the sake of the so-called contention among a hundred schools of thought, especially those Confucian officials of Confucianism.

Not only will they be expelled from the Imperial Academy, but they will also be deprived of their teaching qualifications.

Don't mess with the next generation if you mess with your brain.

Although the Hanlin Academy has no restrictions on the Imperial Academy officials, the Hanlin Academy is in charge of teachers all over the world.

The establishment of the school belongs to the Ministry of Rites, but all the teachers are named under the Hanlin Academy... Song Lian simply asked for an order not only to evaluate officials, but also to include local teachers.

Rather, let's see how much these people know, and whether they understand Daming's national policy!

If even the teachers don't know, don't expect them to be able to teach the students well.

In addition to these two yamen, Guozijian, Zhan Shifu, and other yamen have all been dismissed.

The most nonsensical ones are the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. Some officials actually used the wrong law... Faced with such bastards, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly demoted him to a commoner and sent him to his hometown.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also specially stipulated one.

This kind of vegetarian meal for officials is a waste of the country's salary.

Therefore, not only rushing back home, but also getting back the previous salary, it doesn't matter if you can't pay it, anyway, for the rest of the day, you will pay it off slowly.

There is no doubt that Lao Zhu is not greedy for the money, he is really angry.

We don't kill people, but we also want to make your life worse than death!

After this test, it actually proved one thing, it has always been said that talents are rare.

Now that I think about it, the true meaning of this sentence is that there are too many mediocre people, and looking around, they are all trash snacks, so it is really rare to find talents!

Zhu Yuanzhang also had to admit that it was not easy to change so many officials.

This time more than 200 people were dismissed, and it was just an appetizer, not even a dinner.

Next, let the subordinate provinces do a lot of assessments of hundreds of officials.

And not only exams, but also education and training. Yes, officials also need continuous improvement.

Naturally, these matters must be handed over to Zhang Ximeng and let him be responsible.In this way, the enlightenment of the civil servants also fell on his head, and everyone couldn't help but respect Zhang Ximeng, Teacher Zhang.

Due to the change of the sky, the sky is turned upside down, which can be called violent.

But in Suzhou, hundreds of miles away, the common people felt a different situation.

A stone tablet engraved with Huang Daopo's achievements was sent to Suzhou City and placed not far from the workshop.

Who would dare to say that the women workers came out to work only after Zhang Shicheng entered Suzhou? That is nonsense.At least when Huang Daopo was alive, she had gathered many female workers from her hometown to weave and spin together.

And who said that women can't work in the textile industry?Huang Daopo not only taught weaving technology, but also improved the looms. The looms that are popular in Suzhou and Songjiang today are based on Huang Daopo's improvements.

A stone tablet dispels most of the rumors.

From the imperial palace to Suzhou, the first stop was Shen Rulan's workshop.

"That's right, it's really good! Your silk weaving is done with care, no surprises, this time it will definitely be selected as the royal fabric!"

Shen Rulan and the others let out a long sigh, and then said: "Finally, I can honor Your Majesty, let's see who dares to say that the silk we weave is not clean!"

At this time, another news came that the silk and satin workshop of the big silk family Yang's family was seized!

It turned out that they paid people to write articles saying that female workers were indecent.Interestingly, their family was sued by their female workers... It turns out that the use of female workers is not allowed. You are not allowed to use them, and I can use them as I like!

Chapter 541 Affirmation from the Royal Family

Among all the silk workshops, the workshop led by female workers was the best, and won the royal order, a total of 230 pieces of high-quality silk.

The number is not much, but it is recognized by the royal family and has become a royal thing.

The female workers headed by Shen Rulan fell into great joy

In addition, a monument was set up for Huang Daopo, and the Yang family workshop that mistreated female workers was severely punished.

One happy event after another, the big guy swept away the frustration of the day before, smiling all over his face, like a flower blooming on his face.

"The hard times are over, we will buy more raw silk next year, and we will work hard next year, so that by the end of the year, we, we will all have new houses to live in, and we will have meat for the New Year's Eve dinner!"

The female workers laughed and thought about the future, looking forward to a better life... The third year of Hongwu is about to pass, and the new year is not far away.

Zhu Yuanzhang bought silk to buy some new clothes for the prince.

If you buy it for your son, you have no choice but to buy it for your concubines. The old couples of the Ma family don’t care, but those concubines are not easy to ignore. It's the festival, and I don't even have any clothes or silver, so I can't live through this day.

There are many concubines and children, and when simply calculated together, it is not a small sum, a full 230 bolts of silk, which still made Zhu Yuanzhang feel pain for a long time.

But no matter how painful he is, he still wants to send a copy to the Zhang family to buy new clothes for the young master of the Zhang family.

This little doll took twice as much as Zhu Di.

By the way, Zhang Ximeng didn't agree with Lao Zhu's naming method, so let's leave the trick of slipping along with the five elements to the children of Lao Zhu's family.

Zhang Ximeng just thought about it casually, and named his son "Shu Ning", which probably means the peace of the common people, which is very in line with Zhang Xiang's taste.

However, some people say that this name is incredible, it comes from the Book of Changes, the first common thing, Xianning of Wan Guo.

In the future, this child will definitely be able to govern the country and the world. The two generations of Zhang family's virtuous ministers are the most outstanding in the past and present, which is really admirable.

Anyway, Zhang Shuning, who was wearing crotch pants, still didn't know about the praise from the outside.He just sat quietly on Dad's desk, honestly as a decoration.

After waiting for the old man to finish his work, he will hold him outside for a walk. This is the happiest time for the little guy every day.

But at this moment, in front of Zhang Ximeng, there was a female ring that he had read many times, a piece of silk gifted by Lao Zhu, and several newspapers attacking female workers.

In addition, there are the test scores of the hundred officials, the confession written by Zhang Shicheng, the list of the property of those big families who follow Zhang Shicheng... such a lot of things are placed in front of Zhang Ximeng.

Vaguely, Zhang Ximeng felt that there was some connection, that there should be a thread that could tie everything together and explain these phenomena.

Just what is the answer?

Zhang Ximeng frowned, thinking hard, suddenly raised his head, just in time to see his son's big smile, a crystal bubble of saliva burst, and a drop of saliva fell on Zhang Ximeng's manuscript.

Zhang Ximeng frowned slightly, and suddenly, he had an idea.

Blessed to the soul, Zhang Ximeng suddenly felt enlightened in a flash of inspiration. Then he picked up the pen and wrote three words: Productivity.

After finishing writing, Zhang Ximeng looked at it again, and felt that it was not meaningful enough, so he added two words in front: release.

After examining these five words for a while, Zhang Ximeng suddenly burst out laughing.

"It worked, sure enough!"

Excited, he picked up his son, and kissed the little guy Rou Dudu's face hard.

Immediately, hugging the little thing that was giggling, wrapped it in a blanket, and walked outside quickly, facing the cold north wind, Zhang Ximeng felt that his head was extraordinarily clear.

"Darling son, do you know that your father is going to lead the whole world out of the cycle of involution, and we must be high-spirited and walk out of glory far surpassing the Han and Tang Dynasties... Your father is about to become the most powerful person in the world."

Zhang Ximeng was thinking about it, just when Jiang Nan came back from picking some wintersweet plants, bumped into this father and two, and couldn't help saying: "What are you talking about to him, he doesn't understand!"

Zhang Ximeng chuckled, "If he understands, I won't say anything."

Seeing her husband's juvenile cheer, Jiang Nan smiled and said, "You must have figured out something again! Seeing that you are quite happy. Is this a big deal?"

"Hmm! It's very, very big. I can almost give an annotation to the history since the Anshi Rebellion, especially since Zhao and Song Dynasties."

"Didn't you comment earlier?"

"It's different, this time I want to explain clearly the three obediences and four virtues, explain why women are becoming more and more suppressed, we are becoming more and more conservative in the outside world, retreating step by step, and the ideas of literati are becoming more and more restrained. Human desires, why are you so focused on torturing yourself instead of raising your eyes to look outside!"

Zhang Ximeng said a lot in one breath, Jiang Nan listened silently, stunned for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Zhang Shuning into his arms, then stretched out his hand, and pushed Zhang Ximeng hard.

"Such an important matter, why are you dawdling, hurry up and write an article! Everyone is waiting to read! If you don't write [-] words today, I won't let you go to bed!"

Zhang Ximeng couldn't bear his wife's urging, he had no choice but to go back to the study.

Sitting in front of the desk, thinking about it, my heart was surging. Although some truths have been said before, every time I look at history from a different angle, there will be more gains.

This kind of fun is very similar to picking up leaks.

The historical materials are there, and there are many people who can be contacted, but it is really not easy to see the rules and find something inspiring from the complicated historical materials.

As for the great discoveries that can lead the times and rewrite history, there are very few of them.

Why is it said that the only lesson people learn from history is that people don't learn any lessons... In fact, this statement itself has a bit of a fatalistic pessimistic tone.

It seems that history cannot be studied, pondered, or changed...

Obviously, Zhang Ximeng didn't think so.

He silently raised the pen in his hand... This one, for him, is the best weapon.

Why is the phenomenon of hiring workers widespread, especially female workers, but they cannot be brought to the table, and some people even scolded them for being indecent while hiring female workers.
