Zhu Di was sitting upright in the literary building, his body tilted slightly.

When he met the ministers just now, he was not very impressive.

But now, there is quite a bit of vigilance.

"Your Majesty," Yi Shiha said, "The tea has gone cold. I will go and change it."

The main hall, which had been excessively quiet just now, finally had some life.

Normally, if the tea gets cold, Yishiha will change it quietly.

However, when he said this at this time, he actually discovered Zhu Di's abnormality, and it was just an excuse to make another conversation.

As he spoke, he went to put away the tea cups.

Zhu Di said, "No need. Xie Jin... I never thought he would still be alive."

As soon as these words came out, Yishiha immediately understood something. He lowered his head slightly and said, "I understand, slave."

Zhu Di glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you understand?"

Yi Shiha said: "Slave... I will handle it properly."

Zhu Di waved his hand and said: "He is now the chief historian of King Zhao. He came to the capital on the order of King Zhao. How are you going to deal with him?"

Yishuha hurriedly said: "My slave will die forever."

Zhu Di said calmly: "A lot of people have been arrested recently, but I know better than anyone else that no matter how many I arrest or kill, I can't relieve the resentment of the scholars in the world. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

I will kill all the scholars and gentry in the country?"

After a pause, Zhu Di said: "This Jie Jin... has a great reputation. In the eyes of others, I have treated him badly. Moreover, this person is smart. If he harbors evil intentions, it will be difficult to deal with him."

Yi Shiha said: "I will let the Jin Yiwei..."

Zhu Di shook his head directly: "It seems that you still haven't seen Zhang Anshi clearly. He is still too kind. Although everyone outside says that he kills innocent people indiscriminately, I know him. If he is not really guilty, otherwise he will

I will never frame someone or kill someone easily."

Yishiha thought for a while and said: "Then let the servants come..."

Zhu Di still shook his head: "Let's see, Jie Jin... after all, he is just one person. If this person can cause trouble, it is because there are people in the world who are unwilling to do so."

After a pause, Zhu Di continued: "Yang Qing's family is right. Instead of worrying about the scholars and gentry in the thirteen provinces, it is better to focus on Zhili and persuade the people of Zhili to study more."

"Reading?" He was confused and confused.

He didn't understand why he was talking about studying again.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "These scholars and gentry, Emperor Taizu Gao hated them deeply and killed many of them, but in the end, he still gave them preferential treatment. What do you think is the reason? Is Emperor Taizu Gao merciful?

?Or is it because Emperor Taizu Gao was educated by them?"

Zhu Di asked and answered his own question: "There is no such thing, just because... there is no way to deal with them. I, the Ming Dynasty, cannot allow illiterate people to be officials, and it is impossible to let warriors govern the world. If they are all eradicated, who will control them?"

Where are the people?

Yishiha opened his eyes slightly and said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "I understand, this slave has more and more scholars in Zhili. In the future... these scholars trained by the New Deal can be used to train officials in the thirteen provinces."

, instead.”

"It can be said like this." Zhu Di said: "Zhang Anshi reported that among the people who accompanied Huang Sun this time, there were more than 2,300 scholars, many of whom were responsible for organizing, delivering letters, and preaching. These scholars

, there are 372 people with merit and fame. It can be seen from this that not all scholars are opposed to the New Deal. In addition, there are currently 200,000 students enrolled in Zhili. In the future, these people will gradually

And growth can be of great use."

Yishuha said sincerely and sincerely: "Your Majesty has far-reaching concerns."

Zhu Di shook his head: "It's not that I have deep concerns, it's Yang Qing's words that woke me up."

"Mr. Yang... usually rarely talks, but these days, he often takes the initiative to offer advice."

Zhu Di smiled and continued: "This is a man of great wisdom. He is usually taciturn and prudent in protecting himself. Once he encounters a good opportunity, he will offer his strategies. This man... seems to have never said anything good about the New Deal before."

Yi Shiha couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that... he saw that the New Deal has improved, so..."

Zhu Di shook his head: "Such a person will not change his ambitions and wishes temporarily. Maybe he will compromise on small things, but once he encounters a big event, he will never change just because he caught some rogue gangsters.

His own strategy. The only possibility is that this person has never had a bad feeling about the New Deal, and has been secretly observing the quality of the New Deal, and gradually became attracted to the New Deal, but...if the time is not ripe, he will never easily

I will put forward my own suggestions only when the time is right, and I will express my views and suggestions on the New Deal."

"This is just like his suggestion to only pay attention to the New Deal of Zhili. How many scholars were related to the New Deal under the rule of Zhili two years ago? What is the use of making this suggestion? Now, it is called today.

Times were different from the past, and the time was ripe to leverage the Zhili New Deal to shake up the world, so he took advantage of the trend and put forward his own opinions."

After Yi Shiha listened, he said: "I am mature and prudent, and I have a strategic mind. My servants are far inferior to him."

Zhu Di laughed, raised his finger, pointed at him and said, "How can you, a slave, compare with him?"

Yi Shiha was not angry, and said frankly and honestly: "But this slave is more loyal than him, and more dignified than him."

These words immediately penetrated into Zhu Di's heart, and Zhu Di nodded in agreement.

Zhu Di slowly picked up the tea cup on the imperial table, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Just wait and see, in a few days, Yang Qing will write a letter explaining his new policy proposals. When he came to the audience just now,

I listened to what he said, and it was obvious that he had his own opinions on the New Deal, and had already thought them through carefully. So, it must be more than just those few words."

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he waved his hand to Yi Shiha and continued to fall into deep thought.

Yi Shiha understood it tacitly and silently retreated.

But in the evening, Yi Shiha suddenly came with a memorial and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yang has a memorial."

After hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes flashed with light, and then he said: "I thought it would take a few more days, but who would have thought it would be so early!"

Immediately, Zhu Di sat down firmly and took the memorial. He lowered his head slightly and saw that it read: "Zhili Encourages Learning".

When Zhu Di saw these five words, he turned it over with a straight face and took a look.

In this memorial, a set of educational methods for Zhili was systematically proposed.

What Yang Rong hopes is to establish an officially recognized education system, which needs to be different from local academic administration.

At the same time, there are still academic officers throughout Zhili, and the responsibilities of these academic officers are no longer based on the traditional imperial examination academic officers. Their duties are changed to encourage students to enter school, work with each school to discuss tutorials, and set up an official

There will be a unified examination, and in addition, there will be certain rewards for those who are studious and successful in their studies.

In addition, all students recruited by each school must be registered in the Academic Affairs Office to make student records, standardize various subjects, and recruit a group of talents required by the New Deal to be awarded honorary positions.

In order to encourage students to enter school, especially outstanding young talents, as long as they are academically successful and can achieve outstanding results in the joint examinations of various schools, in order to reduce the burden on their families, the academic officials can be ordered to waive tuition fees or provide Lumi rewards.

.

As for the detailed rules inside, they are thousands of words long and cannot be written in a day.

Many things that need to be considered have been taken into consideration.

Student status proves one's identity, so as to prevent the good from the bad from being mixed, or some students who came out of elementary school cannot get a diploma, and without proof of study, it will inevitably be unclear when it comes to employment.

At the same time, it can also avoid having different schools and the knowledge taught being too confusing, setting up various disciplines, and at the same time carrying out certain management of certain schools, and preventing people from using the name of the school to cheat.

Moreover, in view of the need to encourage more children of common people to enter school, providing rewards can also make common people more willing to send their children to school.

Zhu Di took it seriously. After all, he was only good at decision-making and hated tedious administrative affairs, but Yang Rong thought everything about the situation thoroughly.

The purpose of this memorial is very simple, that is, to increase the possibility of reading for soldiers and civilians as much as possible.

On the other hand, it also standardizes schools everywhere.

Furthermore, it is best to connect school education with the New Deal, so that these scholars can be used by the court after they fail to study in the future.

After Zhu Di looked at it, he frowned deeply and couldn't help but said: "It seems that Yang Qing...has put a lot of effort into the academic affairs of Zhili."

"How did your Majesty see it?" Yi Shiha asked with some curiosity.

Zhu Di said: "This memorial mentions the specific number of scholars in Zhili, as well as the number of schools, and even cites many examples. If you don't pay enough attention to the academic affairs of Zhili, you will never be able to put these things into practice."

, picked it up at random. Yang Qing is afraid that as early as two years ago, he had already prepared for the rainy day and secretly collected information about this academic affairs."

After hearing this, Yishiha was immediately speechless.

He couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If he had known this, he should have paid attention to this matter. Now, now, he can show his hand in front of His Majesty.

In summary, this Yang Rong can indeed be called far-sighted.

Yi Shiha suddenly remembered something at this moment, and then said: "By the way, Your Majesty, I have just received a report from Dongchang, saying that... Xie Jin's ship has arrived at the mouth of Songjiang River."

After Zhu Di heard this, he just pursed his lips and did not respond.

Although the news from Java was delivered by fast ship, basically, the news from the fast ship was not much faster than Jie Jin.

Xie Jin’s ship was also a mail ship.

Because the Ming Dynasty had increasingly close ties with overseas vassals, the vassal kings brought many family members and entourages, and tens of thousands of families moved around at every turn.

After all, these people still have many old memories in the Ming Dynasty. They are in a foreign land and miss their relatives and friends more deeply, so they exchange letters very frequently. In addition, there is also a huge demand for gifts of some items.

Under this situation, many shipping companies have launched mail ship services, sending letters and parcels that need to be mailed from Java, Annan, Xinzhou, Luzon and other places back to the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, while loading a large amount of mail.

, you can also take advantage of this to do some business on passenger ships, so... on the routes between Daming and these places, there are cruise ships entering and leaving the port almost every seven or eight days.

When Xie Jin disembarked at the mouth of Songjiang River, he was actually not very old at this time, but he was already weather-beaten and his complexion was much darker.
