Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Xu Guangqi shuddered, and looked at the emperor in disbelief. Although he devoted himself to research, but... he was also a civil servant!

The prince's new enlightenment education, leave it to him!

It is to send a great honor directly to his hands!

Pfft!

Xu Guangqi fell to his knees fiercely: "I will never disappoint Your Majesty's expectations!"

"Remember, new learning can only be new learning!"

The Son of Heaven said again.

"I understand!"

Xu Guangqi's heart trembled, and he quickly reassured.

"Go back!"

The emperor waved his hand, Xu Guangqi bowed again, and then left.

The emperor looked at the back of Xu Guangqi leaving, and frowned. After a while, the emperor looked away and looked at the stack of books on the table.

That is, the new textbooks edited by the former Wuyuan Engineering Department, now the Daheng Academy of Engineering and the Ministry of Rites.

Looking at these teaching materials, the emperor suddenly smiled and shook his head, which is really interesting.

Daheng's new learning originated from the martial arts academy and grew up in the martial arts academy. Until now, it has slowly spread from Daheng Academy of Engineering to the whole world.

Although he is a descendant, he was just a scumbag in the later generations. In addition, he has been in the society for many years, and the scientific knowledge he understands is obviously extremely effective.

From the beginning of the establishment of the Martial Arts Academy and the establishment of the engineering department, he was able to do his best to support the development of Daheng New School, such as financial and material support, and even spent a lot of effort to reverse the environment of the great era so that the new school can develop. space.

This seems to be the limit of what he can do. If he really wants to express his views on the new learning and directly guide him, what he can do with his shallow scientific knowledge is obviously extremely limited.

Not to mention, because of his authority as the emperor, the engineering department went astray.

Therefore, since the establishment of the Engineering Department of the Military Academy, in addition to the external environment, as well as the support of financial, material and even human resources, his biggest interference with the Engineering Department of the Military Academy is only to set approximate goals, and then he can only look at the new science of engineering. of its own development.

As for the real theoretical research, he has never interfered in the slightest, even the bolt-action rifle that has been stuck in the checkpoint, which can be called the existence of the artifact of the country, he has never urged it, and let it evolve and develop naturally.

Up to now, it has been nearly ten years, and Daheng Xinxue has naturally flourished in the environment he created.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for the new learning developed in this traditional era to be as systematic and westernized as later generations.

Just like the textbooks in front of him, arithmetic, nature, agriculture, business.

There are four textbooks in total, but they cover all the new learning of Daheng.

Strictly speaking, such as arithmetic, agriculture, and business studies are not new studies. It can only be said that since ancient times, these folk trails have been edited and researched by the government for the first time.

And subjects such as chemistry, physics, astronomy, geography, etc. in later generations are all included in the natural subject.

It is obvious that the subject of natural science is the real new learning of Daheng.

That is, Taoism follows nature, aiming to pursue the truth of everything in the world!So be natural!

Naturally, the emperor will not change this kind of change in line with the times. In this traditional era, using such a general concept to integrate new learning into traditional culture will naturally do more good than harm to the development of new learning!

For the environment of the whole society, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Although the new learning is good, it is not what the emperor wants to see if the rites and music are destroyed for this reason.

It is obviously unexpected for the emperor to be able to integrate into traditional culture so spontaneously.

The candles in the hall flickered, and the pages of the books were flipped. About the education system, the changes and even the impact of the commercial economy on the world, thoughts flickered in my mind one by one, and the eyes of the emperor became deeper and deeper...

In the past dynasties, the whole world is like a machine that has been formed. Every gear and every part has undergone a long period of evolution and tends to be fixed.

Under this kind of formed machine, it is good to change the dynasty, but to reorganize this machine, and then let this almost perfect machine run until the machine rots, and then rebuild another one, and continue to run. At most, it is just changing one of them. parts only,

This has been the case in all previous dynasties.

But now, he has almost disassembled this inherent machine, and then filled it with various parts that have never existed before.

Obviously, this will be a brand new machine, and it can be expected that there will be countless problems when this machine is running.

In every aspect, there are countless possibilities, and there are too many advantages and disadvantages...

How to discover this problem and solve it in time will be something that he will persevere in his life.

While the Son of Heaven was thinking, several eunuchs carefully walked into the hall under Wang Wu's command, poured the melted water from the ice basin in the hall into the bucket, and then added pieces of ice that were still steaming. Quickly exited the palace.

Wang Jiwu did not leave, but walked quickly to the side of the emperor, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, you should eat."

The emperor nodded, glanced at the ice basin in the hall, and then seemed to think of something: "Have the ice cubes been sent to the harem?"

Wang Wu immediately replied: "It's all been sent over."

The emperor rubbed his swollen head, put down the book in his hand, got up, and went directly to the side hall...

……

Chapter 549 From Ninth Grade Up and Down!

"This school is bright enough! It's so big, it can accommodate hundreds of people!"

"This is an order personally issued by His Majesty today. I heard that several 10 taels of silver have been allocated, just to build a school in our Shuntian Mansion and run an official school!"

"You didn't go outside to see, the surrounding counties, Xiaohe Village, Changshan Village... have all built school houses!"

"However, our school in Wuqing is the largest school in Tongzhou. Other places are not so big..."

"Why, isn't it different in every place?"

"Do you think that all the inspectors are just like Yan Xueguan in our county, they are upright officials..."

On Wuqing North Street, outside the newly built Wuqing Academy, a large group of people gathered as usual to watch the Wuqing Academy.

In the school building, Yan Yingtai, the inspector of the Wuqing School, was wearing a reformed Daheng black official robe, and led several officials from the Superintendent Department, wandering around in the school building.

"According to the construction supervision specifications, this school can accommodate [-] students. According to the statistics of students a few days ago, the school is still very rich..."

"According to the regulations issued by the Supervision Department of the Ministry of Rites, the new school teachers will be arranged by the Supervision Department of the Ministry of Rites. For the Confucianism teachers, we need to arrange them ourselves. Counting the county schools, we need various social schools. There is still a shortage of teachers. Eight people."

"We also need to learn from the county school, Xuelu, according to the regulations above, this time the pilot, we need to recommend five people from the school inspector's office, and then go to participate in the grand plan assessment held by the Ministry of Rites..."

An official of the county inspector's office held a booklet and reported to Yan Yingtai.

When he heard the arrangement of Xuezheng Xuelu, Yan Yingtai stopped suddenly, and after pondering for a while, Yan Yingtai said: "I will post the notice on the appointment standards and monthly salary of government teachers drawn up by the Superintendent Department to the notice in the city. , to inform the whole county."

"Anyone who meets the standards can go to the Superintendent's Office to register..."

"The words of the county school Xuezheng Xuelu..."

Speaking of this, Yan Yingtai hesitated a little.

Although he had served as a school inspector in Wuqing not long ago, he also knew a lot about the education system in the previous Ming Dynasty.

But the problem is that Daheng's school inspector system is completely different from the school promotion system of Daming.

In the past, most of the academic officials in the Ming Dynasty were served concurrently by the Yushi Hanlin, and most of them were at the governor level, and there were no academic officials in the prefectures and counties.

But now in Daheng, the academic officer has been renamed as the inspector, and has reached the county level, ranking in the eighth rank, which is at the same level as the magistrate who was designated as the eighth rank after the reform, and is not under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, nor the magistrate's jurisdiction!According to this system, if it is extended to all provinces, then the inspectors and political envoys of each province will not have any jurisdiction over him, the county inspector.

His superiors are the government inspector yamen, and then the department inspector of the Ministry of Rites. Of course, this is also because of the special geographical location of Shuntian Prefecture. To the Governor of the Ministry of Rites.

This is just a change in the system, what makes him hesitate the most is the change in grade.

According to the Shuntian Prefecture Education Pilot Regulations drawn up by the Ministry of Rites, the county inspector ranks in the eighth grade, and the county inspector's yamen has not only him, the chief inspector, but also a deputy inspector, who ranks in the lower eighth rank.

Underneath are the principal inspector and the deputy inspector, who are respectively ranked in the ninth rank, from the ninth rank to the top!

Below that is the inspector, who ranks below the ninth rank!

Obviously, the biggest change is above the ninth rank, from the ninth rank, above these two ranks.

From the ninth grade, it is undoubtedly equivalent to the ninth grade in the previous ninety-eight ranks, and from the ninth grade...

According to the statutes of this pilot project, the inspector's yamen is not allowed to recruit people outside the ranks. From the ninth rank, it is obviously equivalent to the non-influx of the former nine ranks and eighteenth ranks, that is: officials!

It's just that, in the past, they were low-level officials, but now, in the regulations of this pilot project, they are officials from the ninth rank, and they are officials in the imperial establishment!

According to the regulations, the county school Xuezheng and Xuelu belong to the ninth rank, and they are also officials!

It is naturally easy for him to choose an official, but it is completely different for him to choose an official, even if it is just a recommendation.

You know, there is a huge gap between officials and officials!

Moreover, judging from the reform situation, it may not be long before this rank is lower than the ninth grade, and it will not only appear in the school inspector's office in Shuntian Prefecture...

Based on his understanding of the reform, if the reform is to be thorough, the imperial power must be sent to the countryside!

However, if the imperial power wants to go to the countryside, the officials who were born and raised in various places and have intertwined interests are the biggest obstacles!

Even though he was just a small grade eight inspector, he was still a little apprehensive about the recommendation right.

You know, since the release of this pilot charter, from the emergence of the grade of Jiupin, he has become a favorite in Wuqing County. Almost all the country gentry are looking for him...

Silent for a long time, Yan Yingtai's bright eyes could not help flashing a trace of sadness. As a school inspector, although he has no relationship with the county magistrate, he is going to work in Wuqing County after all, and there are some things that he has to follow. good……

"As for the number of recommended places, I will make my own decision..."

After saying this, Yan Yingtai couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Out of the silt but not stained, clean and clear but not demon!

In this officialdom, it's impossible!

The best he can do is to save himself from the silt of officialdom!

The several school inspectors were also taken aback. They looked at each other, but no one said anything. The loud school inspector continued to report: "According to the project budget, a total of five school buildings will be repaired this time. House four, buy 690 two tables and benches, 590 sets of pens, inks, papers and inkstones...a total of [-] taels of silver and [-] taels of remaining silver..."

"The food consumption is 250 eight shi, and the remaining food is 140 two shi..."

Yan Yingtai nodded and said: "Register and make a record, and then report it to the government inspector's office according to the regulations."

An official warned: "My lord, the inspector's office is too old, and it should be repaired. This represents the face of the imperial court..."

Yan Yingtai stopped suddenly, and glanced at several subordinates, how could he not know what they were thinking, they still wanted to make some money!

Knowing that he knew, Yan Yingtai didn't bother to point it out. He was from a wealthy family, so naturally he didn't care about these small profits, but most of these subordinates were arranged by the graduates of the Civilian Department of the Military Academy, and they were also from poor families.

After all, those who are a little better off and have a little bit of hope will probably choose to continue their studies and take the imperial examinations, where would they go to the Civil Affairs Department of the Military Academy!

only……

At this point in his thoughts, Yan Yingtai couldn't hide his sadness. According to the development of this situation, if there is no need for the existence of officials, then officials must be needed to fill the positions that should belong to officials.

This level from the ninth rank is an omen.

In the past, if a dignified Jinshi was awarded an official, the last was a magistrate of the seventh rank, but like him, the top three and the first rank, it is possible to be the fifth rank!

But this time, he was only awarded the eighth rank!Most of the people outside the top three were only awarded official positions of the ninth rank.

Obviously, according to this situation, the next imperial examination, the awards will be even lower. Only in this way can the vacancy of officials be filled and the imperial power go to the countryside!

According to the current educational reform system, there are school houses, county schools, prefectural schools, Daheng Institute of Engineering, Daheng Civilian Academy of Sciences, Daheng Martial Arts Academy, Daheng Guozijian...

Level after level, level after level of assessment, level after level of hard work, is it not a different kind of imperial examination.

Perhaps, when the education reform is rolled out and takes shape, the imperial examination, which has been passed down for thousands of years, will probably change drastically!

I am afraid that the scene of imperial examinations reaching the sky in one step will never come back!

At this point in his thoughts, Yan Yingtai couldn't help but shook his head secretly. In this way, he, Yan Yingtai, was lucky to catch this last carriage!

"Let's fix it. The inspector's yamen is the face of the imperial court anyway. Draw up a regulation and pay attention to it!"

After finishing speaking, Yan Yingtai didn't stop, he walked forward and continued to walk along the corridor...

5 Chapter [-] Disasters and Wars

Shaanxi.

The [-]-mile Qinchuan that once established the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, and the affluent Guanzhong Plain have long been dry under the influence of successive years of drought.

The Weishui River, which was passed by the emperor's royal conquest, is now mostly exposed and cracked, and most of the Weishui River's tributaries are completely dry!

Seen from the sky, the Weishui River, which gave birth to the name of Qinchuan for eight hundred miles, is imprinted on the land of Shaanxi like a hideous scar under the years of drought.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty and the early years of Daheng, the wars continued and the national movement was turbulent. Even if there were years of chaos, the imperial court was unable to relieve the famine.

It wasn't until the emperor pacified Liaodong that truly organized and large-scale disaster relief appeared. Up to now, the entire Daheng has established a complete, orderly and effective disaster relief system.

From the very beginning, the imperial court allocated money and food, and the prefectures and counties in the disaster-stricken areas provided relief with work, and now the Zhaowu four-year project relief.
