Chapter 760: Further reform the imperial examinations and arrange for scholars to go to Western Europe to become officials (two in one)(1/2)

However, after occupying Paris, the Ming Dynasty had no time to take care of England.

Because the Ming army quickly destroyed France with blitzkrieg and captured most of the new forces of the European League.

Although it is very quick, there are also problems that are quickly resolved.

That is, the huge territory that has been quickly occupied needs to be slowly digested.

Otherwise, if the Ming Dynasty gathered troops to attack England and Geely again, or even chased to America to fight, it would lead to too much military burden and unstable rear areas.

Once the frontline combat encounters setbacks, it is easy to cause a fire in the backyard.

Therefore, the Ming army did not launch a major offensive next, and did not even occupy the southern Europe, which was already empty in power. Instead, they rested and consolidated the results of the occupied areas.

These are all the requests issued by Zhu Youxiao and his assistants to Zhu Cizhuo after careful consideration.

The Ming Empire, which had a very large territory, had a lot of resources, so naturally there was no need to use gambling to guide the world. It must be done steadily.

"Oil is the resource that the imperial court needs most now! Now we can only wait until the oil reserves grow to sufficient use before we can continue to use troops, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the effect of quickly resolving the war!"

When the Ming army destroyed France and discussed the subsequent military deployment, the Privy Council envoy Zhang Huangyan talked about the importance of oil to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao naturally had no doubts about this and only said: "It seems that we need to increase investment in oil extraction. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty is now vast and we should not worry about oil extraction."

"What large oil fields have been explored now?"

Zhu Youxiao asked because of this.

"When you come back to your Majesty, because the strategy of mineral resource development is mainly outside the pass, the exploration is mainly outside the pass, among which large oil fields have been discovered in Sakhalin, Siberia, Kazakhstan, and Ural provinces. What I mean is to focus on the exploitation of oil fields in Kazakhstan and Ural provinces first. In this way, after oil refining and processing, it will be easier to transport to the front line for use;"

"In addition, now we should not be in a hurry to annex Southern Europe, but to eliminate the Ottoman Empire as soon as possible and annex the Arab islands. There is abundant oil reserves and can be used as a resource support for our army to continue to advance westward and southward in the future."

Wen Tiren replied.

"It's reasonable! However, any area that has been unified by our Ming Dynasty, once it is discovered that the area is rich in oil, it will migrate Han people to the place as soon as possible, and set up factories to make the local area completely a Han family! According to Yuan Fu's advice, we must continue to immigrate to Kazakhsan and Ural areas, and we must gradually build larger factories there. If there is insufficient funds, we will raise funds from the whole society."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.

At this time, Zhang Tongchang followed: "The first is to increase oil production and reserves, and the second is to establish a ruling foundation in the newly annexed Europe as soon as possible to prepare for the next complete unification of the Eurasian continent, the Americas and Africa;

Therefore, with the view of the minister, we must continue to break the concept of the Han people's relocation and mobilize more Han people to go out, and the court must invest more in the field of young talented people and education;

Therefore, Your Majesty, do you think, whether the court will discuss the issue of increasing the local free civilian education to nine years, and directly train the officials according to the direction of the dispatched officials. Once you graduate, you will be admitted as an official after passing the examination!"

"Then the imperial examination system must continue to be reformed!"

"I suggest that for the long-term interests of the Han family, there is no need to consider the personal wishes of scholars too much, but should be arranged to serve as officials in various places based on the needs of the country;

"In the past, there were too many scholars, but the external territory was not very vast, so the demand for scholars was not particularly large. At that time, the situation was still that there were few officials and many scholars. Naturally, the scholars who were willing to be officials overseas could be given priority;"

"But now it's different. There are too many official positions overseas. In a big European country, after the Western nobles were wiped out, many official positions need to be added. From top to bottom, we Han people have to be replaced by officials!

"So, we can no longer rely on voluntary voluntary status. As long as we participate in the provincial examination and obtain the status of a juren, we should directly be assigned to an official, and the imperial examination and palace examination should be cancelled."

Lu Xiangsheng suggested at this time.

"This is a big deal. Cancelling the imperial examination and palace examination means that there will be no more Jinshi in the future. I am afraid that the scholars in the world will not agree."

Wen Tiren said.

"But if it is not cancelled, the scholars in the world would rather cross a single-plank bridge to take the imperial examination, palace examination, and become Jinshi, and then continue to take the ministry examination. They would have to compete for an official position within the pass, rather than going outside the pass!"

"I am afraid of suffering and don't want to leave my hometown too far. I just want to stay in a gentle and wealthy country. How can this be done! The country has been raising scholars for three hundred years, but it's not like raising a group of old men!"

Lu Xiangsheng said, "Otherwise, the Jinshi class will be retained, but after becoming a Jinshi, he will no longer be appointed to an official. If he wants to be an official, he will take the special official selection exam just like a juren. Once he has obtained an official position, he will be sent out! If he wants to stay in the country, he can only study, business or farming, and he cannot be an official anyway! To be an official, he must first be a member of the Xingming Society, and obey the arrangements of the court, so that he can go wherever he wants to be an official. In short, if he wants to be an official, he can only accept the arrangements of the court!"

Zhu Youxiao said, "Since it is for the benefit of the Han family, I will not be soft-hearted!"

"Now there is a shortage of officials outside. Once the Americas and Africa are annexed, it will be even more lacking! All Han people have the obligation to contribute to the country. Starting from the Juren, they will obey the imperial court's arrangements, and the Jinshi exam will be directly abolished. There are also master's degree and doctoral degree exams. These two types of graduate students are two types of fame that can be advanced after graduation by Juren. They can also be called degrees. Juren can be advanced to these two types of postgraduate students as a selection of outstanding scientific research talents. In other words, even if they obtain these two types of fame, they will not be selected as officials by the court, but will only stay in the pass to study. If there is really outstanding real knowledge, you can do this method without having to become an official outside."

"The admission ratio of such graduate students must be strictly limited, and most of them should be officials in various places."

Lu Xiangsheng replied.

"Naturally! Now the situation has really changed. The world is actually starting to lack people to be officials, rather than lacking officials to be officials."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile.

"This is also impossible. It is better to force Han people to become officials outside, just like forcing royal family members to go overseas to serve as kings. It is better than to continue to let the Westerners continue to rule themselves. Otherwise, wouldn't the newly opened territory be opened for nothing?"

Wen Tiren smiled.

"Many people just don't dare to go out. When the court forces them to go out, they will find that the world after going out is really fragrant! For example, the one named Xu Qianxue who went to England also became the son-in-law of the local king and was named the earl. He was proclaimed to do so. Since Lu Qing proposed this matter, Lu Qing would submit a memorial based on it. However, at that time, it will inevitably be criticized and cursed by the disciples from all over the world. My dear will be prepared."

Zhu Youxiao continued.

The scholars and officials who could reach high positions, who all accepted the concept of Xingming Society, and they were truly successful in restraining their own selfish desires and wishing that the world would be public, so they would not care so much about personal good and bad things. Therefore, at this time, he stood up and replied: "For the benefit of the Ming and Han families, I am so heartless and unwilling to refuse!"

The auxiliary ministers Zhu Youxiao are still using now are naturally consistent with his philosophy of governing the country, so the other auxiliary ministers didn't say anything else.

Next, further reforming the system of imperial examinations and talent selection was promulgated in the form of an imperial edict.

The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Academic Affairs, and the Ministry of Rites, were naturally afraid to argue with the three officials responsible for the specific implementation of such system reforms.

But when this decree was known to the world, it caused a great response.

After all, the imperial examination has been implemented for hundreds of years, and many people are used to passing the imperial examination after the provincial examination and the palace examination, and the palace examination will be a life path of fish jumping over the dragon gate.

Now it's good, the imperial examination is gone.

Moreover, a juren can directly take the official selection exam, and once the exam is passed, he can directly be awarded an official.

This greatly disappointed many scholars who claimed to be the talents of the country and were very talented. They needed to distinguish between fame and fortune.

What's more, literati are inferior to each other.

"The system reform of the court is really changing the way that the scholars do not allow the emergence of academic clans. It would be fine if there is no top scholar or second place, but now even the Jinshi is abolished. My scholars in the world have been selected from now on, but how can you know the level of the level of the level of the situation?"

Zou Zhongquan, the Fujian Jieyuan, complained to Shen Yongqi because of this matter.

Now there is no top scholar in the Ming Dynasty, the title of Tanhua, and even the first Jinshi has expanded to hundreds. Therefore, Jieyuan in various provinces has become the most prestigious scholar among scholars.

As Jie Yuan, Zou Zhongquan naturally has his own pride. The most heartbreaking thing in his life is that he was unable to be born decades earlier, but was able to get the No. 1 pick in the No. 1 pick, Tanhua or something, so as to live up to his talents.

But he didn't expect that the court now does not even have a Jinshi.

This naturally disappointed him even more.

"What is even more outrageous than this is that if the juren really wants to prove that he is a high-level talent, he can no longer rely on a Jinshi. He needs to take the master's degree or a doctorate, but he cannot become an official after taking the exam! You say that if you are good at studying and become an official, then what is the use of proving your talent? I have seen it clearly. The court's meaning is very clear. You don't need to be a big scholar. As long as you are a Juren, you can directly take the official selection exam and wait for an official. In this way, scholars in the world don't have to work so hard. Now the Juren is expanding again and again. As long as you are a little more attentive and not so stupid, you can become a Juren and become an official."

Shen Yongqi said.

"Why!"

Zou Zhongquan sighed and said, "Even if there is no shortage of officials in the world, the court should screen it. OK! Those who are outstanding should cultivate them with the qualities of prime ministers, but now they do not distinguish between good and bad. Those who are qualified will be awarded official positions. Is this really beneficial to the country?"

"The above is intentional to avoid forming cliques and seek personal gain with your outstanding qualifications!"

Shen Yongqi replied.

Zou Zhongquan stopped talking after hearing Shen Yongqi say this.

Next, both of them went to the official selection exam honestly, and they were reluctant to make progress in their studies in their master's and doctoral studies.

Most scholars have the same choice.

Still choose to be an official.

There is no way, the concept of becoming an official with good academic performance is already deeply rooted.

It doesn't disappear overnight.

Everyone is more willing to be a powerful official.

Only a very small number of people who are not interested in power but who really like to do knowledge are willing to choose to do knowledge.

However, the Ming Dynasty court deliberately kept a secret and did not announce to the public how to conduct a new interpretation of officials.

As a result, many scholars who took the official selection exam were arranged to serve as officials in Europe and other places.

After Zou Zhongquan took the official selection examination and passed the examination, he was arranged to serve as the magistrate of Marseille.

After receiving the imperial decree, Zou Zhongquan was stunned and said in tears: "Oh my God, why is it Marseille? Where is Marseille?!"

"In the West, thousands of miles away, if I remember correctly."

Shen Yongqi, who came to the Ministry of Personnel with him to collect the imperial edicts and official seals, and passed the official selection exam, had read books in the geology school before, so he was more clear about Marseille, so he answered Zou Zhongquan.

"Western? What kind of wild land is that? What's the difference between this and exile?! I don't want it, I don't want to go there!"

Zou Zhongquan fainted on the ground as he said.

In this era, what places in Western Europe and France are not fashionable and romantic in the eyes of the Han people in the Ming Dynasty. In their eyes, they are no different from those in the wild and uncultivated places.

Therefore, Zou Zhongquan couldn't accept it for the time being.

After all, he was a dignified province of Jieyuan. If he had been in the Ming Dynasty in the past, even if he could not enter the first class, there would still be great hope of becoming a Hanlin Shujishi.

Now we are going to the uncivilized wilderness.

No one can stand it.

At this time, Shen Yongqi also opened his imperial decree and read the document, and the content was written: He was appointed as the magistrate of Luxembourg.

Shen Yongqi also fainted on the spot.
