Every point of view of Ye Chunqiu can be said to be very clear.

But when Ye Chunqiu finally talked about this economic exam, Chen Rong didn't feel much confident and couldn't help but say ashamed: "The nature of scholars is mostly very meticulous, but I'm afraid that many people will curse this economic exam."

Ye Chunqiu smiled and shook his head and said, "Scolding is definitely a scolding for the time being that people want to be officials, they have to take the exam, and they have to learn this. At the beginning, everyone was scolding, but for the sake of their future, weren't they scolding themselves in the end? So, just set standards and let them scold them for a while. Later, those who want to be officials still have to learn what they should learn. Those who refuse to learn will scold, but more people will still learn for fame and fortune. They scolded them and seemed noble, but in the end, they scolded those who learn economics. At that time, those who have learned will not be too late to support them. People can't scold themselves, right?"

Zhang Jin couldn't help laughing and said, "Chunqiu, you are still powerful. This is really poisonous. This is called leveraging the force to fight."

Ye Chunqiu continued: "I'm just considering the future of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, I have to learn what I should learn from the Four Books and Five Classics in the past. Reading these can help you understand the truth and understand right and wrong. However, you have to add a literature and history. Reading history is also beneficial. After all, it is a lesson from the predecessors. There is no harm in learning it."

"So, what I mean is to replace the traditional eight-legged essay with law, economy, classics and history. As for what questions to be asked at that time and how to test them, this certainly requires a detailed chapter to be drawn up, but as long as there is a direction, all the problems will be solved sooner or later."

"This... is the new rule of Your Majesty in the future. Those who follow this rule can have a good future and can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. But if they are sarcastic people, they don't have to care, because they may have a higher voice than others at the beginning and scold them more and more people will not be affected by them. But as long as the court can stabilize at this time and not be influenced by them, they will not be able to make any trouble. When more and more people start to learn the law, economy and the classics and history formulated by Your Majesty for their personal future, for the sake of their personal future.

When they were scolding people, they were not only the court, but His Majesty, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, you Chen Rong, and you Zhang Jin, they were scolding countless scholars who studied economics and law at home. And these people who were scolded must be scolded back. At that time, thousands of such scholars will be the biggest foundation of the new policy. At that time, smearing the new policy is to smear their personality, to smear their efforts, to smear their future, and that would be strange."

Chen Rong looked at Ye Chunqiu and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It turns out that His Highness King Lu has already thought about everything. If he had known this, he would have submitted this charter to His Majesty early, so how could there be so many right and wrong today?"

Ye Chunqiu became serious again, shook his head solemnly, sighed, and said, "Where is this easy to change the eight-legged essay to recruit scholars? You see, the new policy has been complained about now. If you poke this hornet's nest again, I will ask you, can Your Majesty have this determination? I am afraid that even I, Lord Taishan, wouldn't dare to try it easily. If the new policy had not reached the critical moment of life and death, who would have dared to make such a determination?"

"These regulations have been discussed outside the pass, and I have just copied them. In fact, Qinglong is planning to open a statutory school to win the imperial examination, but Qinglong is still more radical and thorough than inside the pass."

A big stone fell in Chen Rong's heart. He knew that Ye Chunqiu's method was radical, but it actually made sense.

Everyone knows that once the eight-part essays are changed, they may suffer greater resentment. Some people even think that Ye Chunqiu is committing suicide, but Chen Rong knows that even if the court does not change the eight-part essays, those scholars who oppose the court are opposed to all new policies. Even if you do not change the rules, you will not be able to please them.

But once it is changed, it can be exchanged for the strong support of another group of scholars, which seems to be very cost-effective.

In fact, Chen Rong has seen a lot in the poetry club. Many scholars have read books for half their lives, but they have achieved nothing. They can't write eight-legged essays, so they can only fail the exam every year, and spend most of their lives in vain. The despair is unimaginable to ordinary people.

So these people have to indulge in poetry and some stories. After all, the books they read in this life have become useless, so they can only be used as tools for entertainment.

But once they change the eight-legged essay to pick up the scholars, it means that they and other scholars can be brought back to the starting line, which is definitely of great benefit to them.

What's more, the court now does not recruit more than a hundred Jinshi to be officials, but directly selects thousands of people. In other words, as long as you are truly willing to learn the law and economics, the chance of becoming an official will increase by ten times, twenty times, or even thirty times.

Although the official position granted was not the seventh rank, but from the seventh rank, but from the ninth rank, this is definitely very dissatisfied with the very few talented men. Their goal is only Jinshi and Hanlin, but these people are only a few of the few, and the real majority are actually enough to enter the official career and not in vain what they have learned in their lives. Moreover, the ninth rank is also an official, such as a lieutenant in the punishment room, which is almost the same as the chief of the punishment name in a county, responsible for the public security of a county. Although this power is small, it is also a person who can say something in a county.

This may not be worth mentioning for the real eight-legged elites, but Chen Rong, who has a deep understanding of this, firmly believes that this will definitely make countless scholars applaud secretly.

Now... the only thing you can do is to see if you can reach this hurdle. If you can't get it, everything will be in vain. But as long as you can go smoothly and further, you will have a broad sky.
