I am the king of the dead

Military students have their own way out.

Xing'an has been observing political affairs for so long, and most of the time, he just watches and seldom puts forward his own opinions.

This time, he came prepared.

He bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, not every military student can be a scholar. After all, it is only a Confucian school in the Weisuo, and the teaching is not a great Confucianism. The imperial examination is stereotyped to select scholars. They can be admitted as a scholar, a scholar, and a Jinshi. number."

Zhu Qiyu said with great interest: "Go on."

Xing'an carefully organized the language and said: "The military students study in the lecture hall for one year, become township officials for three years, and then return to Beijing. Give the military students a new status and enter the Imperial College. This will not be a famous teacher. ?"

Scholars are divided into three classes, and the best one is called Zhisheng. The imperial court pays Mi Liudou to make a living and take part in the Juren examination.

The second class of enlarging students is Zengguang Shengyuan, who has neither endowment nor responsibilities.Zengsheng can also enter the Guozijian, or take the Qiuwei Township Examination and pass the Juren examination.

Xing'an means that military students who are willing to go to the countryside to be officials will be given the status of scholar, and they will study in the Imperial College.

"Zhengsheng is good, but you have to give money and rice. It's not easy to live in Beijing Normal University." Zhu Qiyu thought for a while, and added his own thoughts.

Xing'an thought about it seriously and said: "Just give silver and rice according to the commander's treatment, build an official house, and the township officials can live in the official house as a gift. It also solves part of the livelihood problem, and can participate in the autumn and spring with peace of mind."

"Your Majesty, Xingwenwuwu is very important."

"I've been thinking about it for a few years, and I've come up with some flavors. In the past 24 years, there has been a general trend in the promotion of civil and military affairs, but isn't it because the number of military students who can pass the examinations and the number of Jinshi is too small?"

"There are no great Confucianists in the Confucian School of the Weisuo, and there are very few who can pass the examination, let alone Jinshi."

"Isn't this the prosperity of Wen and the decline of martial arts?"

The military is always an extension of politics. This point has basically been formed since the end of the underworld politics of the five dynasties and ten countries and the establishment of Zhao and Song Dynasties.

However, in the political game, soldiers from the army have never had many channels to participate in and discuss state affairs, and even the minister of the Ministry of War is always a Wen Jinshi.

The honored ministers were also limited by their own identities, which eventually led to Xingwen and Wu always happening.

It's like there is no highway to Cambridge University because the Ministry of Transport has not had a permanent secretary from Cambridge for a long time.

Without Jinshi from the Confucian School of the Weisuo, Chao Zhongxing Wen and Wu naturally had no opposition.

Even if the emperor wanted to stop it, there was no one to help him do things.

During the Zhao and Song Dynasties, many emperors did not know the importance of the army, but who would do it?

No one is available.

Xing'an's remonstrance is roughly equivalent to a means of check and balance, to maintain a certain number of Jinshi with military background, not to mention the construction of a new highway leading to the military camp, at least when the road is demolished, there will be fierce opposition from some people.

"Da Dang, you don't say a word or breathe on weekdays, and you came up with this idea. It's good, very good." Zhu Qiyu highly agreed with Xing'an's idea, nodded and continued: "You can communicate with the Ministry of Rites to see how to increase the number of village officials. , will it be difficult?"

Xing'an bowed his head and said: "The minister and Hu Shangshu passed the air, and Hu Shangshu put forward a few supplementary suggestions, and he did not object."

"Let the Ministry of Rites make a memorial. Your remonstrance is good, at least the historian will outline it for you when writing the record." Zhu Qiyu was very pleased.

He does have a way, but Zhu Qiyu still understands the reason why everyone gathers firewood and flames are high.

Xing'an continued to study ink for His Majesty, and said with a smile: "It is the duty of a minister to share your Majesty's worries."

Hu Wei quickly handed over the memorial that he had prepared long ago to Wenyuan Pavilion. After Zhu Qiyu and Zhu approved it, he finally started to implement it in the court discussion.

The Lecture Hall was officially split from the Lecture Hall, and the scope of enrollment expanded from commanders among soldiers to military students in the Confucian School of the Guard.

The commander's own [-] students will remain unchanged, and another [-] military students will be added.

After graduating from the lecture hall, you can go down to the countryside to serve as a township official after the three-year term expires, and then return to Beijing to be a recruiter, and enter the Imperial College Examination to obtain fame.You can also serve as a commander in the army and fight in all directions.

This expansion of enrollment has solved the problem of weak teachers in some guards, and also solved the problem of too few suitable township officials, and it has also partially solved the imbalance between civil and military affairs in the court.

There are many discussions about this matter in the court, but when the lecture hall and the lecture hall were established, it was set up by His Majesty to control the military power, and this is a place where you can't reach out.

You can't reach out to the Tai'an Palace, and you can't reach out to the army. These are the two iron laws after His Majesty ascended the throne. If you make a mistake, you must seek death, otherwise you will not reach out indiscriminately.

Ten days later, Zhu Qiyu received a memorial from King Xiang, and Huang Long and Wei Bao were persuaded to surrender. After all, the [-] Beijing troops were still in Guizhou.

The people were appeased, but King Xiang didn't know what to do with the [-] soldiers who had joined the rebellion, so he temporarily threw the [-] soldiers into Liuzhi Factory, Dian Copper Factory, Tung Oil Factory, and Tongyuan to do hard labor.

"Prince Xiang made a statement for these soldiers in the memorial. I hope that I can do hard labor for five years to atone for the crime as I forgive the rebels in Nanya." Zhu Qiyu took the memorial from King Xiang and thought for a while, and Zhu approved King Xiang's memorial. .

Chapter 493

"Prince Xiang has really suffered a lot. In Guizhou, he was seriously ill." Zhu Qiyu closed the memorial.

Malaria, periodic attack, body chills, fever, sweating, splenomegaly.

In the Ming Dynasty, this thing can be called miasma, and miasma is widespread in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou, where there are a lot of mosquitoes.

Zhu Zhanqian was busy in Guizhou, and was bitten by mosquitoes several times, but he didn't take it seriously.

Suddenly one day, he felt chills all over his body, from his limbs to his back, and then his whole body became chills, which lasted from a quarter to an hour, even if he wrapped himself in several layers of quilts, it would not help.

After repeated three to five days, I started to have a persistent fever, flushed face, shortness of breath, vomited whatever I ate, and then started to feel empty.

Zuo Kong was just burnt out, a little unconscious, and his two hands were grabbing randomly, as if he was trying to get something.

Zhu Zhanqian survived the difficult fever period for seven days, and then began to sweat for a long time. This lasted for more than ten days, and finally he recovered.

This malaria tortured Zhu Zhanqian for nearly a month, and Zhu Zhanqian gradually recovered. As soon as he got better, he followed Yang Jun, Fang Ying and others to Zunyi Mansion, and persuaded Huang Long and Wei Bao to surrender.

The condition for successfully persuading the capitulation is that Zhu Zhanqian promised not to embarrass the people, not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and the five years of hard labor for the 7000 captives were negotiated conditions.

Originally, Huanglong and Wei Bao would not surrender. Since they rebelled, they did not intend to live. However, the rebels were besieged for a long time, and their hearts were in turmoil. In addition, the guarantor for persuading them was the emperor's uncle, and they finally reached a persuasion.

Zhu Zhanqian hoped that the [-] rebels would be treated the same as the Fujian and Nanya rebels, but he also mentioned two things.

The first thing is his experience in treating diseases. Artemisia annua, which is commonly used to treat miasma, has no effect at all. Artemisia annua has the effects of clearing heat and cooling blood, reducing steam and relieving heat, dispelling wind and relieving itching, but there is no way to treat miasma at all.

Zhu Zhanqian was tortured by this disease so painfully that he felt chills and fever, and he was dying, and the accompanying imperial physician could only relieve his pain.

What cured his disease was a local herb from Yunnan and Guizhou, called Artemisia annua. After it was processed, it had a miraculous effect, and the disease gradually recovered.

During this serious illness, Zhu Zhanqian lost more than 40 catties, even thinner than Luo Bingzhong. That fat emperor uncle can no longer be seen.

"That's right, King Xiang has suffered a great crime." Xing'an said rather sadly, the most honored person in Daming is naturally His Majesty, followed by His Royal Highness King Xiang.

This fat uncle who was pampered in Prince Xiang's mansion really risked his life in Yungui.

Zhu Qiyu handed King Xiang's memorial to Xing'an, and asked him to take it to Wenyuan Pavilion and said: "In "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", it is said that once you hold Artemisia annua, soak it in two liters of water, twist it to get the juice, and take it all. But This Artemisia annua can't cure malaria."

"Shen Kuo said in "Mengxi Bi Tan": There are two types of Artemisia annua. There are yellow ones and blue ones. Materia Medica calls Artemisia annua, and there may be differences."

"So it's Artemisia annua that treats malaria, not Artemisia annua."

How to treat miasma and malaria, as early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, had social awareness, but Artemisia annua, there are Artemisia annua, and Artemisia annua, it happens that these two kinds of herbs are useful, and the effects are somewhat similar.

In fact, it should be that Artemisia annua has a miraculous effect in treating malaria, but Artemisia annua does not.

Artemisia annua, a specialty of Yunnan, is a kind of Artemisia annua. The locals use it to decoct and even make wine to fight malaria.

In social cognition, a treatment plan for malaria has been formed. How to gradually transform social cognition into science is too much for a hospital.

"His Royal Highness King Xiang's method is extremely clever." Xing'an said with a smile: "His supply method is indeed to beat the chieftains so that they have no power to fight back."

King Xiang was the first person in Ming Dynasty to clearly put forward the theory of the importance of sharp handles, and his focus was on sharp handles.

The supply-side reform is Zhu Zhanqian's practice in Guizhou. Controlling [-]% of the goods in the hands of the imperial court is almost invincible.

In the memorial, Zhu Zhanqian set up a granary surplus warehouse in Guizhou, which means that the granary is full, which is somewhat similar to the function of a regular flat granary.

Changpingcang was established by Li Kui during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. His reforms in the Wei State put forward the reform ideas of "doing the best" and "benevolent and flat", encouraging farmers to cultivate intensively, increasing production, abolishing the system of nobles and nobles, and rewarding those who have made meritorious contributions. people.

Li Kui's reform has achieved great success in Wei State. He is a practitioner of legalism, not a visionary. His reform made Wei State suppress Qin State for more than [-] years.

Then Qin's Shang Yang reform started vigorously.

In the third year of Hongwu, Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, knew that there was such a thing as Changping warehouse in the world. He ordered all prefectures and counties to set up reserve warehouses in the four townships. Qiu Cheng paid back.

But Zhu Zhanqian's surplus warehouse is not just about stabilizing grain prices and preventing low grain prices from hurting farmers and expensive grains from hurting farmers.

Zhu Zhanqian proposed that the imperial court must organize, coordinate, and manage important agricultural production materials and agricultural and sideline products. This proportion should account for at least [-]% or more of all agricultural products and agricultural and sideline products.

Otherwise, no matter what Daming does, he will be constrained.

Zhu Zhanqian gave an example in his memorial, which is tung oil, which is an important material for shipbuilding. If it weren’t for the development of Yunnan and Guizhou, the tung oil had a production area, and the Ming Dynasty wanted to build ships. How could it be built without tung oil?

Zhu Zhanqian has been in-depth practice, and began to rely on the rural grassroots organizations at the township, village, and A levels established by the Siyong Tuanying, and initially realized the organizational structure of the Yingcang covering counties, townships, and villages.

Zhu Zhanqian obtained the initiative to set prices for important products of Yunnan and Guizhou, such as Yunnan copper, coal, tung oil, Sanqi gold, etc., and pen, ink, paper and inkstone, salt and iron, cotton and linen, etc., which entered Yunnan and Guizhou. Generate income for the court and seek happiness for the people.

If it weren't for Zhu Zhanqian's status as King Xiang, and the fact that he distributed [-]% of the income to the people, Zhu Qiyu would have thought that Zhu Zhanqian was a "great good man".

"Show Yu Shaobao, Jin Shangshu, and the others the granny surplus method, discuss it, absorb the experience of Yunnan and Guizhou, and organize the granny surplus method in the interior."

"This time, Yunnan and Guizhou are ahead, while the mainland is behind." Zhu Qiyu was beyond satisfied with Zhu Zhanqian's work in Yunnan and Guizhou, and he was quite pleasantly surprised.

Xing'an said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the government ran a monopoly on salt, iron, wine, tea and alum."

"At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, during the time of Song Huizong, there was a phenomenon that a catty of coal was worth [-] Wen. During Song Gaozong's time, a catty of dung was sold for [-] Wen."

From Xing'an's point of view, Zhu Zhanqian's granny profit method is almost the same as the government-run franchise in the Northern Song Dynasty. A catty of coal in Ming Dynasty is only five to six cents. Money, isn't this a typical case of expropriation and harming the people?

Zhu Qiyu looked at the doubts and worries on Xing'an's face, and said with a smile: "Yes, Li Xian once had such doubts."

"I asked him at the time that my official metallurgical institute will look like the government-run franchise of the Song Dynasty in the future, so what is the significance of running this official metallurgy institute?"

"Now, His Royal Highness King Xiang, through practice, has come up with a key figure, [-]%."

There are some things that the imperial court must monopolize, such as firearms and steel feathers, special steel materials, military vehicles, military horses, etc., but it is better not to completely monopolize some things of people's livelihood, and it is not a war.

This involves a question of degree, and Zhu Zhanqian has obtained a [-]% ratio through practice. This is an approximation and a variable. to the effect.

This is also a digital narrative structure that appears after the bypass of degrees.

"I don't have any doubts." Xing'an looked at the memorial carefully, bowed his head and said.

"Then King Xiang's Memorial, can it be used as the front page of the mansion newspaper?" Xing'an asked hesitantly.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "Of course."

Xing'an looked embarrassed and said: "But His Majesty just wrote an editorial, which is about being a slave and not being a slave, and being a slave..."

"Let's take that "Bi Tan under the Lamp" as the headline of the mansion newspaper, and put this memorial of King Xiang in the second edition." Zhu Qiyu made a decision.

Xiangwang Zhu Zhanqian's memorandum is an improvement of the system, while Zhu Qiyu's is a socially thinking editorial.

Although Zhu Zhanqian's memorials are important, they are mainly related to the construction of the imperial court system.

Dibao is a kind of guiding document, so Zhu Qiyu still decided to make "Bi Tan under the Lamp" a slave, and being a slave is more important for guiding.

But I hope that officials at all levels can treat the people as cattle and horses.

The examination has ended, some people are happy and some people are sad. Juren who didn't win the Jinshi can actually be an official, but the future is a bit bleak.

The palace examination was carried out in a calm and orderly manner. Jingtai's five-year palace examination had one more "Guanzi" than Jingtai's two-year palace examination.

The length of Guanzi is really long, even if you swallow it whole without asking for a deep understanding, it will take more than a month to read it.

But the beauty of Guanzi is that it is not arithmetic.

In a broad sense, management can even be included within the scope of Confucianism, which is not difficult to understand.

On the palace examination, the Jinshi were flying around, writing clearly and logically.

These quasi-jinshi students wrote quite reasonable, much better than the math test in the imperial examination.

The math papers for the imperial examination are at least at the level of the high school entrance examination, with various low scores.

Under the [-]-point system, the average score of the [-] Jinshi students was actually less than [-].

The failure of the math test made Wu Jing, the director of the hospital, always walk with his head down these days, very angry.

The paper for the palace examination was written by Wu Jing, and it was not difficult for His Majesty to correct it, but after the result came out, Wu Jing was ashamed.

Zhu Qiyu had expected it a long time ago, and he didn't blame Wu Jing for not teaching him well, the degree was bypassed, it was only two or three years, just take it slowly.

The day when the palace examination results are announced will soon arrive.

Qiu Jun, a Yi people from Qiongzhou, took the first place in the palace examination, won the first prize, and directly entered the Imperial Academy to become the Imperial Academy.

Li Sui, a guy who was almost expelled from his fame, actually got a good result in the top ten.

It is a practice of imperial examinations to catch sons-in-law under the list. On the day the list is released, besides the students, countless high-ranking officials have sent people to carefully check whether there is any soaring figure among the new subjects this year.

Among the [-] Jinshi, nearly half of them were married to Qiu Jun, and more than [-] people were screened out.

For the remaining unmarried people, if you filter out those who are as ugly as Qiu Jun, there will not be many left.

Therefore, there are only a dozen or so people who are really worth arresting under the list every year.
