Longjiangkou, Jieguan Pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, there was silence.

Zheng Jing, Zhuge Sanhe, Chen Yonghua, Qiu Rong, and even Da Boling didn't know how to respond to Zhu Heji's words.

Isn't this Zhu Dasage's heart too dark? Once the world has been in power for two or three hundred years, isn't it only a few decades that can be called a prosperous age? How can there be two or three hundred years of prosperity? It is prosperous from beginning to end? Then this court

How did it disappear? It disappeared after it was filled.

It can't be like this!

Moreover... just relying on a round of "Founding Fairness", no matter how fair it is, cannot last two or three hundred years!

It is not true that there has never been an equal share of farmland per capita in history, but if there is an equal share of land, won’t it cease to be so in a few decades?

How can the new Ming Dynasty be an exception?

"Jian Guo," it was Da Bo Ling who broke the silence, "Isn't two or three hundred years too long?"

How long ago? Zhu Heji looked at Da Bo Ling and thought: "You really have long hair, short knowledge, big breasts and no brains! It is now 1674, two hundred years later it will be 1874, two hundred and seventy-one years later

It was 1945... In the past 271 years, how many thrilling events have happened in the world? As long as a country like China fails to keep up and lags behind, it may be beaten. Once it is defeated,

Then it is possible to fall into the abyss! Do you know what the abyss means?

A deeper abyss means expulsion from the world and the destruction of the country and the species!

A shallower abyss will turn China into one of the poorest countries in the world!

Although Zhu Heji has not experienced the dark era when he was almost expelled from the football team, he has experienced the era when he was so poor and crazy!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to his hometown to work as a high-end imitator after finishing college in Beijing... That would be really scary and crazy for being poor!

And when Zhu Heji learned that China in the early Qing Dynasty was the richest country in the world, even in terms of per capita GDP, it was among the best in the world, maybe even first, he was really shocked.

In later generations, the Chinese people struggled for decades but still had not achieved the goal. During the Kangxi period, it turned out to be the norm, so normal that no one cared.

And such a country that ranks among the best in both total and per capita terms will actually become one of the poorest countries in the world after more than a hundred years... and it will be even poorer by more than a hundred years.

Years ago, he was so poor that he became famous all over the world!

The reason for this disaster is that China lost the first industrial revolution, the second industrial revolution, and the second industrial revolution. These two industrial revolutions can lead to explosive growth in productivity, and it was at the beginning of the third industrial revolution.

Very backward position.

But now, the first industrial revolution has not yet begun...and China, at least the four provinces under Zhu Heji's rule, is very promising to become the first region to cross the threshold of industrialization.

And the first one is to enter industrialization. If it can occupy its due share in the international zero-yuan shopping market, then it will have 271 years of prosperity, right?

He was referring to the British Empire... The Ming Dynasty's basic base was much larger than that of the British Empire, and it could even completely assimilate the colonial system. In this case, the prosperous years should not be shorter than the British Empire, right?

Thinking of this, Zhu Heji patiently said to the people present: "The reason why the previous dynasties that used to equalize land could not last for long, in Gujia's opinion, mainly had two problems. First, the number of people was increasing.

But the land cannot grow. But this is no longer a problem... You should know how vast the world is and how big the earth is, right?"

"I know, I know..." Zheng Jing knew best. He nodded and said, "Supervise the country, I understand what you mean. Let's finish all the domestic fields and then go to the overseas fields... But

Going to sea is not that easy. The storms on the sea are dangerous and it can be said that you have a narrow escape!"

So we need to industrialize! Don’t you know there is a steam engine? By the way, you really don’t know...

Emperor Zhu didn't know how to explain industrialization, so he had to change the topic and continued: "The second is the equalization of land and uneven knowledge, so the people are ignorant and the scholar-bureaucrats are shameless... The shameless scholar-bureaucrats bully the ignorant people and take advantage of them.

Their land was taken away, leaving the common people with no place to stand. And the scholar-bureaucrats who annexed a large amount of land also tried their best to evade national taxes, which not only cut off the livelihood of the common people, but also cut off the royal court's salary."

"Equalize knowledge?" Zhuge Sanhe was stunned, "Jianguo, how can we equalize knowledge?"

How to balance it? Zhu Heji glanced at him and said to himself: "How about I ask you to hand over the "Zhuge Secret Book" first to balance it?"

"Of course it's universal education." Zhu Heji still suppressed his curiosity about "Zhuge Secret Book" and talked about serious matters, "It's still the old method in Guangdong, you have to open a large school...Juntian

At that time, a part of the land must be dedicated as school land to open rural elementary schools.

In addition to elementary education, the county governments in each county provide funds to run elementary schools so that the best elementary students can advance to elementary school and continue their studies.

Each government should also open middle schools so that the best among primary school students can go to middle schools.

Above the middle schools, of course, there are the universities run by the imperial court and the provinces... After the first batch of college students complete their studies, the imperial court will no longer use the imperial examination to select scholars, but will instead select scholars through the academy!"

"What? Even the imperial examination will be abolished?" Qiu Rong, the top scholar with Scar, was surprised, "Aren't you going to force all the scholars to go to Wu Zhou and Qing Yao?"

"What is there to be afraid of?" Zhu Hejie smiled coldly, "Huang Zongxi himself said that the imperial examination has great disadvantages. We should gradually abolish it and replace it with the school. What's wrong with it?"

Zheng Jing, Zhuge Sanhe, Chen Yonghua, and Qiu Rong could not help but frown.

Saying this is one thing, but actually doing it is probably another thing!

But Zhu Heji was determined to abandon all subjects and set up schools - this must be done! Not only because industrialization requires new talents, but also because Zhu Heji needed to use his own disciples to replace the officials who were greedy for money and evaded taxes except taking exams.

, just a rotten scholar who can't do anything well.

He doesn't need the kind of loyal minister who "keeps his hands and talks about his feelings at ordinary times, but dies to repay the king in times of trouble".

Zhu Heji paused, and then said: "In addition, the method of selecting scholars also needs major changes...Didn't Huang Zongxi say in his "Mingyi Waiting for Visits" chapter on selecting scholars that today's selection of scholars is not done in the same way?

Is it really a disadvantage to be strict and use officials too leniently? He also proposed that we should be lenient and use officials strictly.

The Gu family thinks this is very good. In the future, the six-room and three-level classes in the yamen can also be included in the official ranks. Soldiers who pass the examination or are recommended by the Ministry of War to serve as meritorious but unsuitable officials. In this way, scholars can have some hope.

It should be satisfactory.”

How satisfying it is!

Several people in the pavilion frowned, but still nodded heavily.

Regardless of whether the scholars in Jiangnan are satisfied or not, they must support Zhu Heji!

.......

The night was already very dark, and the whole Wuying Hall was silent. Only Zhu Heji was still sleeping with his eyes open on the eight-foot bed in the dormitory. One of his big hands unconsciously wandered over the body of Da Boling lying next to him. Suddenly,

When I encounter something, I just twist it.

His other hand was resting on the back of his head, staring intently at the ceiling.

Da Bo Ling beside him woke him up, and found that her husband was still awake, so she hugged him over, leaned against Zhu Heji, and asked in a low voice: "Ah Pao, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

We have been working so hard during the day for a few days, how can we do it without a good rest at night? Could it be that I haven’t had enough fun just now, do you want my aunt to..."

Zhu Heji turned his head and smiled at Da Bo Ling, who had a shy expression on his face, "My aunt is still good to me... But now that Jiangdong has been decided, the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty has been somewhat achieved, and various things

There are so many things that I, the supervisor, have to think carefully about."

Da Boling was not only Zhu Heji's woman, but also a shareholder in his anti-Qing and Ming restoration cause. She also gave herself and all the shares she held to Zhu Heji. Therefore, she was the only one in Zhu Heji's harem.

A woman who has the right to speak on national affairs. However, she would never abuse her privilege, so she just blinked and smiled and said: "Ah Pao, I don't understand national affairs, but as long as I am needed, just speak up."

, Auntie will listen to you in everything."

Listening to Da Bo Ling's soft voice assuring herself, Zhu Heji smiled happily. Sure enough, her aunt was the best to him!

In fact, he woke up Da Bo Ling on purpose... Now he encountered a slightly difficult matter, and after thinking about it, he still had to let his good aunt come forward.

Thinking of this, he first kissed Da Bo Ling on the cheek, and then said: "Aunt, you see, I am now the Lord of Jinling, a Saint who oversees the country, and I have this huge Forbidden City...
