Chapter 699: Let The Southern Scholars Experience The Wind And Snow Of The North, And Let The Northe
It was March 10th, the 16th year of Hongwu.
Wanmin College of Liberal Arts, in the dean's office.
Yan Changqing is sitting in front of the dean's desk, and Jinyiwei Qianhu Lu Wenzhao and Pei Lun, who have transferred from Jinyiwei Qianhu to become his two secretaries, are each holding a stack of documents.
Standing in front of him, one on the left and the other on the right.
"So far, have you counted how many scholars have come to the capital to receive the mission of [Educating the World]?!!"
Yan Changqing raised his head slightly, looked at Lu Wenzhao and Pei Lun and asked.
Hearing this, Lu Wenzhao immediately opened the document record in his hand, looked at it, and then replied:
"As of yesterday, 6,567 talents have arrived in the capital and signed reports here at Wanmin University of Liberal Arts!!!"
"And today I still see scattered scholars rushing to Manmin University of Liberal Arts to sign and report!!!"
"It is estimated that by the time of the final registration deadline on March 13, the number of scholars coming to the capital from all over the world to receive the task of [Educating the World] should exceed 7,000!!!"
Yan Changqing raised his eyebrows slightly and said in surprise:
“Are there so many talented people?!!”
Originally, he thought that it would be great if two or three thousand talents were willing to come to receive the task of "Educating the World".
As a result, he never expected that the number of scholars who came to receive the task of "Educating the World" increased two or three times more than he had previously estimated.
"According to the records of the number of scholars in the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel, from the third year of Hongwu to the sixth year of Hongwu, and from the fourteenth year of Hongwu to the fifteenth year of Hongwu.
"During these six years, the number of scholars who passed the examination for the title of scholar each year was approximately between 1,300 and 1,700."
"Today, all over the Ming Dynasty, there are more than 9,000 famous people who have won the title of scholar!!!"
"As for the scholars who came to sign and report, I also classified them according to the time when they obtained the title of scholar. Among them, more than 4,000 people obtained the title of scholar between the third year of Hongwu and the sixth year of Hongwu!!!"
"The remaining two thousand people all won the title of scholar in the academy examinations the year before last and the year before last!!!"
"Excluding the hundreds of scholars who were admitted to the Juren and Jinshi positions from the third year to the sixth year of Hongwu, and were awarded official positions."
"There are no scholars from all over the Ming Dynasty who have come to Wanmin Literary College to sign the 683 report. It is estimated that there are only about 1,500 left."
"It can be said that most of the scholars with scholarly reputations in the entire Ming Dynasty should have been concentrated in the capital."
"Now the entire Yingtianfu inn is basically overcrowded, almost all occupied by scholars who came to the capital from all over the Ming Dynasty."
Lu Wenzhao looked at the various scholar data classified and recorded in his document and answered seriously.
After following Yan Changqing for so long, Lu Wenzhao is now very accustomed to making various data tables and then using various data to speak.
Hearing Lu Wenzhao's answer, Yan Changqing couldn't help but smile:
"It seems that most of the talents cherish this opportunity!!!"
Pei Lun, who was standing on the other side, also laughed and said:
"Since the sixth year of Hongwu, this should be the closest these scholars have come to becoming officials!!!"
"If they want to get the opportunity to serve as officials, then they must seize the opportunity of this new imperial examination!!!"
Before the new imperial examination reform, Zhu Yuanzhang also held the imperial examination from the third year to the sixth year of Hongwu to select talents.
Then because of the imperial examinations held from the third year to the sixth year of Hongwu, the talents selected were not what Zhu Yuanzhang intended.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stopped the imperial examination and stopped it until the thirteenth year of Hongwu.
During these six years, countless scholars begged Zhu Yuanzhang day and night to reopen the imperial examination, fearing that if Zhu Yuanzhang stopped the imperial examination, he would stop it for the rest of his life.
After all, if that were the case, then their ten or twenty years of hard study would really become a joke.
You must know that for most scholars, the only way for them to become officials is through the imperial examination.
As for the path of Chaju, unless you have money, power, background, and talent, you will not be able to take Chaju.
The first three requirements alone are enough to intercept and eliminate most of the scholars.
So after hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang decided to carry out the new imperial examination reform in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, and the new imperial examination after the reform introduced a hundred-point system.
At the same time, in the new imperial examination, the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" accounted for only 50% of the total score of the imperial examination, "Ce Wen" accounted for 30% of the total score of the imperial examination, and "All Matters of People's Livelihood" accounted for 100% of the total score of the imperial examination. After twenty-fifths.
Most of the scholars actually had no complaints about this.
Just reform the imperial examination. The "Four Books" and "Five Classics" only account for 50% of the total score of the new imperial examination, just 50%.
At worst, it would be better for them to spend more time studying and understanding the contents of "Ce Wen" and "People's Livelihood Matters" than to completely stop the imperial examination and completely lose the opportunity to study and become officials.
Therefore, after the new imperial examination reform rules were implemented in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, scholars all over the world spent a whole year to make up for their shortcomings in "Ce Wen" and "People's Livelihood Matters".
Then in the 14th year of Hongwu, he went to take part in the first academic examination after the new imperial examination reform.
Zhu Yuanzhang also paid special attention to this matter and ordered all provinces, prefectures, prefectures and counties in the world to send the original examination papers of the scholars who passed the academic examination and obtained the title of scholar directly to Yingtian Mansion for him to review after the academic examination.
The result of the re-reading can be regarded as meeting Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations in advance.
At least after one year of preparation time, and after explaining in advance that the two aspects of "Ce Wen" and "People's Livelihood Matters" will be tested.
Basically, scholars who can obtain the title of scholar can be regarded as qualified in answering "Ce Questions" and "People's Livelihood Matters".
At least compared to those scholars admitted from the third to sixth years of Hongwu who were industrious and indifferent to grains, the scholars admitted in the fourteenth year of Hongwu basically knew the grain sowing season, the domestication methods of livestock, and the disaster prevention of mulberry crops. Methods, as well as some basic criminal law cases, penalties, etc.
It can be said that as long as he trains hard for a few more years, passes the provincial examination, is promoted in the examination, and is promoted to an official position, he can basically be regarded as a practical official in the local area in the future.
And what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted "is this kind of official who can be practical.
In order to prevent this from being just a temporary joy, in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered all provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties in the world to send the original examination papers directly to the scholars who passed the academic examination and obtained the title of scholar after the academic examination. Ying Tianfu reviewed it for him.
The result of this review made Zhu Yuanzhang even more satisfied.
If we say that the scholars who were awarded the title of scholar last time could only be considered qualified in terms of their answers to "Policy Questions" and "People's Livelihood Matters".
So the scholars who have won the title of scholar this time can be regarded as all good in the two aspects of "Policy Questions" and "People's Livelihood Matters"!
This immediate effect even made Zhu Yuanzhang consider whether to further reduce the proportion of the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" [and then increase the proportion of "Ce" and "People's Livelihood Matters".
However, considering that the rules of the new imperial examination have just been finalized, if they are changed now, it will easily cause confusion among the scholars in the world.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to wait and see for a few more years, and then see if he should modify the proportions of the "Four Books", "Five Classics", "Ce Wen", and "People's Livelihood Matters" according to actual needs.
When a group of scholars successfully obtained the title of scholar in the new imperial examination, they also studied the new rules of the provincial examination in the new imperial examination released in the fifteenth year of Hongwu together with the scholars accumulated from the third year to the sixth year of Hongwu.
When they saw that in the new imperial examination provincial examination rules (bhfd), there was an optional [Education Gong], and scholars with [Education Gong] could get extra points in the imperial examination. preferential treatment.
And if the results of a scholar with [the merit of enlightenment] are the same as those of a scholar without [the merit of enlightenment], then the scholar with [the merit of enlightenment] will be given priority.
Even after passing the provincial examination and obtaining the title of Juren, the officials will be given priority to those Juren who have "cultivation merit".
All the talented people in the world can’t sit still!!!
Perhaps compared to the "Four Books", the "Five Classics", the "Ce Wen", and the "People's Livelihood Matters", they will not lose to other scholars.
However, if your test scores are the same as those of a scholar with [the merit of enlightenment], due to the difference in [the merit of enlightenment], the scholar with [the merit of enlightenment] will be admitted, but you will be deposed.
Who can bear this result?!
Moreover, for the same reason, other scholars may not be inferior to themselves when compared to the Four Books, the Five Classics, Ce Wen, and Minsheng Shishi.
So if you want to stand out among the talented people, you naturally have to think of other ways.
And [Education Power] is a very good choice!!!
As long as they obtain enough [Education Merit], they will have greater advantages when facing other talents.
Therefore, in order to have a greater advantage and certainty in the provincial examination, and to receive priority treatment when taking over in the future.
The vast majority of scholars have made up their minds to have a few [educational achievements] close to them.
This is also the reason why there are only more than 9,000 talents in Ming Dynasty now, but this time it is expected that 7,000 talents will come to receive the task of "Educating the World".
Of course, there are also a small number of scholars who think they are talented and intelligent. Even if they do not have the "Education Merit", they are still confident that they can beat everyone else, pass the provincial examination, and win the first place. Therefore, they are not interested in the "Education Merit" and are not interested in it. Didn't come.
There is also a small group of scholars who are interested in the "Education Merit", but know that they cannot afford to go to the countryside and educate the people, so they have no choice but to give up their plan to obtain the "Education Merit".
Adding the two together, Yinti is the remaining more than a thousand talents who have not come to the capital to receive the task of "educating the world".
After a few words of laughter, Pei Lun lowered his head and asked Yan Changqing respectfully:
"Sir, how should the tasks of [educating the world] be distributed among these scholars from the north and the south?!!"
A few days ago, Yan Changqing had ordered them to classify the scholars who came to Wanmin College of Literature to sign reports according to their place of origin and region, according to the north and south.
Nowadays, the classification of these scholars into the north and south has been completed, but they dare not make a decision on the specific task allocation arrangement of "Educating the World" until Yan Changqing has given instructions.
Yan Changqing, who had already had an idea, spoke without any hesitation:
"As the saying goes, 'Heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to a man. He must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and disturb his actions. Therefore, tempting one's heart and forbearance will benefit him in a way that he cannot do!!" !”
"So the more a scholar comes from a prosperous southern state, the more arduous the task of "educating the world" will be for him.
Cold and barren northern prefectures and counties!!!”
"We need to let those southern talents who come from prosperous prefectures, counties and villages experience and experience the beating of the northern wind and frost swords!!!"
"In this way, we can wash away the wind of boasting in them, make their temperament tougher, and increase their abilities that they originally did not have!!!"
"Similarly, as the saying goes, 'wealth cannot be fornicated, poverty cannot be moved, power cannot be surrendered'!!!"
“So the more a scholar comes from a cold and barren northern state, the more prosperous and prosperous a southern state is!!!
"We need to let those talented people who come from the cold, impoverished northern prefectures and counties experience the prosperity, romance and gentleness of the south, and then see if they can still
Still stick to my heart and never forget my original intention!!!”
"Only those who put aside rhetoric, know how to do practical work down to earth, and stick to their true heart and never forget their original intentions are the talents that the court really wants to discover, and only those who are truly qualified
You are qualified to participate in the provincial examinations, general examinations and palace examinations held by the imperial court!!!"
After hearing Yan Changqing's arrangements, Pei Lun and Lu Wenzhao couldn't help but look at each other, and silently sympathized with the scholars from the north and the south for their next task of "educating the world".
Then this little bit of sympathy was immediately thrown aside by the two of them.
Anyway, the two of them are not the ones who want to "educate the world". Just let the scholars from the north and the south suffer, it has nothing to do with them.
They are now noble, royal guards, subordinates to the dean of Wanmin Agricultural College, subordinates to the dean of Wanmin Medical College, and subordinates to the dean of Wanmin College of Liberal Arts!!
!
And in the future, it is very likely that he will be a subordinate to the dean of the Wanmin Academy of Sciences and a subordinate to the dean of the Wanmin Business School!!!
Now the two of them are not on the same level, let alone those scholars, even compared with other Jinyiwei Qianhu, or even the Jinyiwei commander Tongzhi.
Even their former boss, Commander Mao Xiang of Jinyiwei, would be a little polite to them when he saw them.
As soon as they thought of this, Pei Lun and Lu Wenzhao both bowed towards Yan Changqing and bowed their hands in salute and responded:
"Yes, because of people!!!"
"I'll make arrangements later!!!"
