Chapter 568: Calling on Confucians to go outside the customs and go overseas

But the general trend is unstoppable. Whether it is the major changes brought about by the invasion of foreign capital or the major changes caused by the internal generation of industry and capital, it will shake the status of Confucianism.

Because the Ming Empire has developed to this day, it has higher requirements for the people, and it is no longer just that they can mainly engage in agriculture, but that the people can play more complex labor roles.

Therefore, next, even though Li Jues and others resigned, the reform of the imperial examination system continued to be implemented by changing a group of young officials who received new education to ministerial-level officials.

The first thing to do is to change the public society schools in various places that also carry out Confucian education into new-style education.

The textbooks are all ready-made.

Because Zhu Youzhao has already implemented new education in his imperial village, there are textbooks for various subjects in different grades, and only printing is required.

Secondly, the colleges and universities in various counties have been changed to secondary schools. Like the secondary schools established in Huangzhuang, they have a six-year school system.

However, secondary schools are divided into junior high schools and high schools.

You need to take the exam once for junior high school entrance examinations, which is equivalent to the previous imperial examinations. The academic officials go to various prefectures and counties to preside over the exams. The admitted person can go to high school.

High school graduates can take the provincial examination.

Admissions to provincial examinations can enter higher education schools in central and local provinces to receive higher education, while graduates can participate in the examinations.

These are not problems.

Because the areas directly ruled by the emperor, such pilot education has been carried out for decades, such as imperial villages, state-owned farms, as well as personal military and military garrisons, royal families, and palaces, which can be completely replicated, and even a large number of new-style education faculty have been cultivated.

The main problem at the moment is how to arrange students who have entered the school and those who have passed the exam.

As well as the students who are still receiving traditional Confucian education and are preparing to take the imperial examination to obtain fame and honor, and scholars who have not even obtained the qualifications for children.

"Students and juren arrange three ways of doing so based on their choice:

Some were sent to serve as the new Mr. Guowen;

Some of them were sent to remote areas and colonial areas to serve as Confucian officials. At present, the new imperial examination system was only temporarily implemented within the pass. Those places also needed Confucian officials in order to cultivate more local people to become scholars, and then pass local provincial examinations and then become officials in the local area;

Some of them arranged to go to the vassal states to serve as Confucian envoys to help the local area revitalize Confucianism.”

Zhu Youxiao therefore proposed his own solution.

Among them, the reason why Zhu Youjiao only implemented the new imperial examination system in the pass was that many areas and colonial areas outside the pass had only been moved to Han people for a short time. The children there were basically children from ethnic minorities. It was difficult for these children to receive the most basic enlightenment education. It would be even more difficult if they directly learn mathematics and physics. Moreover, the Chinese education in these places is also the most important thing at present, so the court did not plan to carry out the new imperial examination system in these places.

"For Confucian scholars who have not yet achieved fame, they can study on the spot and apply for travel expenses from the local government. To places where the new imperial examination system has not been implemented, they can directly participate in the provincial examinations and then serve as officials! The court allocates special funds to various provinces as the travel expenses to support these Confucian scholars to participate in the provincial examinations outside the pass and colonial areas."

Zhu Youxiao said.

After hearing this, Liu Hongxun agreed: "Your Majesty has a good idea. In this way, it can make more Confucian scholars in those places, which will help Chineseization."

"This is also a solution. Any reform is detrimental to some people. The court has done this to make up for them as much as possible. However, to be honest, the court also needs more Confucian scholars to go to the west, outside the pass, to newly established colonial areas and even newly built vassal states, and to work hard to achieve the unification of the Han civilization around the world!"

"You draft an edict and call it out, and I will also encourage those who are talented to go outside the pass, overseas, and to those places to educate these people for the Han civilization. This is to say that this is not for my own hegemony, but for the great cause of the entire China! It is to carry forward the Confucianism they advocate!"

Zhu Youxiao said.

Liu Hongxun was a little excited after hearing this and said, "If I were a few years younger, after hearing what Your Majesty said, I would ask myself to go to the places you said to devote myself to you! I believe that there are still many Confucian scholars in the world who are intimately attracted by Your Majesty's words, and therefore resolutely go to these places and work hard for the unification of Han civilization!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "It already has young Jinshi Zhang Huangyan, Huang Binqing, Xia Yunyi, if it weren't for my call in the palace interview, they wouldn't have invited them to the West. Now they are afraid they will have to stay there all their lives. Now Zhang Huangyan is the governor of the Netherlands, Huang Binqing is the governor of Barcelona, ​​and Xia Yunyi is the governor of Gibraltar. I hope they can take root in the place where everyone wears a cross!"

...

"A man is born with good nature; his nature is similar, his habits are different..."

In the Hague City, Zhang Huangyan, the first Dutch governor of the Ming Dynasty, had to personally become a Confucian teacher because there were not many people around him, adopted some Dutch orphans in the city, and taught them to read, starting from the most basic Three-character classics.

At the same time, the Dutch orphans he adopted were also chanting seriously, but because they did not have a Chinese environment, they were still rude.

besides.

Zhang Huangyan, the Dutch governor, even served as a matchmaker, allowing the officers and soldiers stationed in the Netherlands to marry local Dutch women as much as possible, so as to give birth to the first batch of mixed-race children by then.

Mixed-race children have at least half of the bloodlines of Han people, and they can also be the first people to be Chineseized.

The reason why Zhang Huangyan himself served as the matchmaker is because he is the only Han Chinese here who can speak Dutch.

After all, Zhang Huangyan, as a famous person in history, was indeed a genius among the Han people of this era. He was indeed talented in learning languages, so he now had to bear more recognition.

Fortunately, the Netherlands is a country dominated by the business class and only values ​​interests.

Therefore, when Zhang Huangyan, a matchmaker, hired these Dutch merchants to sell the women they could sell as the wives of Han officers and soldiers for a large amount of money, these Dutch merchants did not refuse, and collected many Dutch women to sell them to Han people as their wives. Even Dutch merchants who were greedy for profit directly abducted and even foreign women.

“Wow!”

Just as Zhang Huangyan was teaching a group of Dutch children who were adopted by him to read the "Three Character Classic", he heard the cry of a baby.

It was the first mixed-race child he married to gave birth to him by a Dutch noble woman.

Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but smile at this.

Because he never thought that he would promote Chineseization in this way.

He had to announce the get out of class to be terminated early and then return to his residence.
