"How dare you stop the exam?"

Zhu Youxiao asked first.

Then, Zhu Youxiao said disdainfully: "Stop the exam means that he has no intention of serving the court. His clan and his parents are not well educated, and he himself has the intention of raising scholars in the court. He can stop the exam, but he does not expect to receive preferential treatment from the court, and his family is not worthy of being listed as a gentry in the Ming Dynasty;

The decree was drawn that anyone who had stopped the examination was eliminated from his fame and fortune and would never be used. His clan was not allowed to take the examination again within three generations, and all the taxes that the court gave to him and his clan were recovered."

Zhu Youxiao was very calm.

There is a reason why Zhu Youxiao is so calm.

Because he is not as simple as an emperor who really grows up in the deep palace.

He knew very well how rampant the number of scholars in the Ming Dynasty was more than two hundred years after the Ming Dynasty was in peace.

As far as Zhu Youzhao knows, there are thousands of people in some counties who are preparing for the exam for the child.

Zhu Youxiao read research on the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life, and also knew that the admission rate for the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty was not high, whether they were students, juren or jinshi.

Basically, three to five Jinshi were selected from 10,000.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao knew that some scholars in the Ming Dynasty wanted to pass the exam for fame and fortune.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be anyone who insisted on taking the imperial examination in his 80s.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, the imperial examination system is the magic weapon for the imperial court to control scholars all over the world, rather than the tool used by scholars all over the world to threaten the emperor.

Because the Ming Dynasty was not the era of aristocratic families.

The official positions and the number of scholars that can be provided to scholars are in short supply and a situation where there are too many monks and too few porridges.

What's more, in this era, only officials can be the ones with social status.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was not worried that hundreds of scholars would stop the exam.

Han Dong, Sun Ruyou, Qian Qianyi and others were naturally surprised and angry when Zhu Youxiao said this. They did not expect that this did not scare the emperor.

Even the emperor directly wanted to eliminate the fame of those who had been dismissed from the examination, and never mention it, and even prevented the three generations of people from participating in the imperial examination.

Han Yu couldn't help but think: "Your Majesty is completely fearless! Relying on the many people in the world who want to be officials, don't take scholars seriously."

"Your Majesty, most of these scholars who have stopped the exam are those who have read poetry and books and have outstanding talents. The court should choose those who have real talents and knowledge first. Therefore, nearly a thousand scholars who have stopped the exam this time should not be underestimated. They did not want to serve the court when they stopped the exam, but they were dissatisfied with the court's current harsh treatment of the scholars."

Sun Ruyou couldn't help but feel excited at this time. He really wanted his Majesty to respect scholars a little.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Sun Ruyou with a squint: "Don't be satisfied? Do they still dare to be dissatisfied? Taxes and labor are exempted from being exempted from being exempted from traveling, and they don't kneel when they see officials. The court treats him so much more kindly than the common people. If anyone among them is dissatisfied, he is really ungrateful and filial!

I think not only will the three generations not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination, but the three generations not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination, but also the three generations not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination! Because there must be problems with their family style and the education of relatives! He should be exiled! Just draw an order like this and declare that if anyone who has the exam dares to be dissatisfied, it will be so strict once it is verified!"

"yes!"

Fang Congzhe replied.

Sun Ruyou couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Your Majesty, you can't think so. Governing the country requires talent. Most of these candidates who have stopped exams are loyal people and pillars of the future!"

Zhu Youxiao didn't think that these hundreds of scholars who had failed the exam were different from those who had not.

After all, they are all knowledge they learn and are good at writing eight-legged essays.

The only difference may be that the eight-legged essays are different, and that is, the political concepts may be different. Some people recite scriptures incorrectly and only care about the face of their literati, while others pay more attention to the interests of the entire country and the people of the world for various reasons.

Otherwise, most of the top scholars in history would not be able to do anything. Even a few famous people would only be famous in their knowledge or integrity, which would not help the general trend of history.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, whether a talent is a talent must be seen after being admitted by participating in court disputes and military affairs.

Some can quickly train as a qualified politician in practice.

Some people become only aware of following the trend and making money harming others.

Some people even have neither the ability to govern the country nor the ability to harm others. They usually talk about their hearts and minds, and repay the king when they are in danger.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao felt that if he wanted to select real talents, it would be better to expand the number of admissions, so as to increase the screening area, and then train and further screening after admission.

Just like after the expansion of enrollment of college students in later generations, many units or enterprises would first convene a large number of fresh graduates as reserve cadres. Anyway, they couldn't tell who was better than who was better, so they simply recruited them first and then trained them.

Zhu Youxiao also plans to expand recruitment of more Jinshi to the court in the future, and then cultivate some administrative and technical officials through the later construction of some administrative and technical colleges.

After all, the party in charge must require officials with relatively strong comprehensive administrative capabilities; while some officials have poor comprehensive administrative capabilities, but they have different abilities in engineering, economics or case judgments.

Therefore, in Zhu Youxiao's view, it is necessary to expand the admission quota and then conduct retraining after the Ming Dynasty.

After all, some officials with professional expertise in some aspects may not be very good at eight-legged essays.

Even officials with particularly strong comprehensive abilities may not be particularly good at writing essays in the eight-legged essay.

Moreover, the expansion of enrollment will also help to allow more poor children who do not perform very strongly in their studies due to insufficient educational resources but are actually good at abilities to have an opportunity to enter the court to compete with their children from higher schools.

However, after the expansion of enrollment, the number of gentry will increase, the number of people with tax exemption privileges in the world will increase, the social burden will increase, and the treasury income will further decrease.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao felt that while expanding enrollment of juren and jinshi, the tax exemption privileges of gentry should be cancelled as soon as possible, such as taxes for the privileged class, such as taxes for luxury houses, inheritance taxes, and mining taxes, as well as taxes for privileged classes, such as taxes for privileged classes, should be established as soon as possible.

But now, Zhu Youxiao must first expand the number of juren and jinshi.

Because Zhu Youxiao had to make the scholars such as Juren and Jinshi depreciate even more, so that he could force the entire literati group to make concessions in many aspects in order to compete for the number of official positions limited within the Ming Dynasty.

For example, in order to allow northern gentry to occupy more important positions, they had to agree to the emperor's additional commercial tax.

For example, in terms of political concepts, the literati, who focused on agriculture and suppressed commerce, had to agree to the emperor to implement the integration of officials and gentry to pay for food in order to occupy more important positions and to attack the literati, who had different political concepts from their own political concepts and advocated politicians.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao said next: "The true loyal and filial people will not be dissatisfied with the court, nor will they betray the king and father because of something bad. The true loyal and filial people will actively transform the court because they think that the court is bad. I have always been very eager for these real talents and informed the world that the number of juren in the Northern Zhili provincial examination increased by fifty places and 100 places for the imperial examination. In addition, I heard that most of the people who have finished the examination were southern scholars, so this time it is particularly permitted if there are not enough people to be admitted to the southern examination, the Northern and middle examinations will be supplemented. I believe that scholars who are determined to serve the court can see my desire to seek talents and will be grateful to me. Suddenly, there are fifty juren and 100 places for the imperial examination. I am good enough."

Zhu Youxiao started talking.

Han Yu, Sun Ruyou, and Qian Qianyi were shocked after hearing this.
