First Minister of Ming Dynasty

First Minister Section 558

Before Liu Bowen continued to refute, Xu Da sneered, "Wang Shenzheng, if you want evidence, our Yushitai will satisfy you! Coincidentally, I have several cases related to teachers' morality in my hand. There is Jimin School, and there is also Fudan School. As for the issue of Peking University, since the left-behind department is not under the jurisdiction of Yushitai for the time being, I am asking for an order. When the case is investigated and I get the real evidence, I will immediately hand it over to Wang Canzheng. "

With Xu Da's status and power, he really can't tell lies, and Wang Guangyang doesn't have the guts to argue with him. The whole situation seems to be settled!

But everyone will say that it is fair, what exactly is fair?

The current situation is like this. Although schools have been established for many years and the compulsory education law has been promulgated, teachers and schools are still scarce resources.

A good school recruits less than 1 people a year, and the school-age candidates for a year are probably more than one million.

Absolutely thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge.

What should I do?

What else can I do?

Wang Guangyang stopped arguing, not because he gave up, but because he had carefully calculated, this matter is not easy to handle!

It can even be said that it is unsolvable.

"Sun Xiang, everyone has said so much, you should show an attitude!" Wang Guangyang kicked the ball to Sun Yan.

Sun Yan sneered slightly, thinking of me now, I just said that the class of scholar-bureaucrats is not allowed to return to the imperial court, why do you object so vigorously?

"This matter is indeed difficult, but it is not impossible to solve... Jimin School, Fudan School, these years there are teacher training classes, mainly to train teachers. I thought it was not enough. Just taking this opportunity, we have a large number of teachers in the entire Daming territory. , we need to set up about ten normal schools. First, we need to solve the problem of insufficient teachers. Second, we can add a rule that anyone who participates in the imperial examination must have three years of elementary school or primary school experience, and must also be evaluated for excellence. Participate in the imperial examination!"

Sun Yan said again: "One more thing, when a primary school is promoted to a middle school, there must be a unified assessment to ensure the quality of the middle school students! Then the situation of the middle school will be included in the evaluation of the local officials!"

Sun Yan talked eloquently, and everyone present, whether they agreed or opposed, all looked at this man with admiration. As expected of someone close to Grand Master Zhang, he is considerate in his work!

In fact, Sun Yan patched up the entire education system.

This is not to say that Zhang Ximeng made a mistake at the beginning, but the basic conditions are different. If it weren't for the preparations made over the years, Sun Yan would not be able to make drastic changes.

His idea is not complicated. First, solve the shortage of elementary school and primary school teachers, establish a normal school, and force those who want to take the imperial examination to enrich the place and teach for a few years.

In this way, it is conservatively estimated that tens of thousands of good teachers can be brought to the local area. In addition to the existing number of teachers, although the gap is still very large, it will not be impossible to maintain.

Once a large number of elementary schools and elementary schools are properly operated, there will be a large number of children from poor families who will get further opportunities.

Then there is the exam to enter the middle school, which is very important.

As long as you can enter middle school, you will have the qualification to enter the top school.

When the performance of running a middle school is tied to the magistrates, this middle school cannot allow everyone to enter.

Generally speaking, children from rich families can get better educational conditions and more opportunities.

But once the denominator becomes large enough, the opportunities for poor children will increase.

In the spirit of rolling to death, there will always be quite a few poor children with extraordinary talents, through fighting, they will successfully enter a good middle school, and then enter a top school.

At least it will be much better than the current situation.

Hu Weiyong, who was silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Prime Minister Sun thinks very well, but this will cost a lot of money, right? Just a few normal schools is not a small sum!"

Sun Yan laughed, "That's true. Hu has been involved in financial management for many years, and I will leave it to you to take charge of running the school. I hope Hu Canzheng will not shirk or waste time!"

Hu Weiyong was taken aback, this Sun Yan actually pushed the job to himself?

At this moment, Xu Da spoke again, "Sun Xiang, I thought there was one more thing you neglected in your arrangement."

"What's the matter?" Sun Yan asked subconsciously.

Xu Da said with a smile: "In the future, martial arts recruits will also be selected from outstanding middle school students from all over the world!"

Tang He nodded and said, "That's right, titles can be hereditary, but positions in the military must come from the school, even if they are my children and grandchildren, they can't pass the exam, and they can't lead the army!"

The stance of these two military officials is almost finalized, and the rest is how to implement it...

Chapter 775 Zhu Yuanzhang's Childhood

Just when the discussion was about to end, Sun Yan suddenly said again: "Your Highness, I think that educating and educating talents is a major national event. Next, we need to coordinate the overall situation and coordinate all parties. The affairs are complicated. We need to readjust the division of labor among officials. I don't know. What do you think, Your Highness?"

This was a project that did not exist before the Zhongshu meeting, and it was a temporary raid. After Zhu Biao was slightly taken aback, he only nodded in agreement.

"What's Sun Xiang's plan?"

Sun Yan said with a smile: "That's it. Next, we will strictly inspect schools in various places, urge all officials, and assess educational achievements. These things are all tasks of the subordinates. Since Grand Master Zhang resigned, there has been a vacancy for the right minister. That's it. The minister boldly advises that Wang Guangyang, the political adviser, will be promoted to the right minister of the sect!"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be astonished.

Menxia Province is a yamen held by Zhang Ximeng, which is enough to stand against Zhongshu Province.Even if Zhang Ximeng quits, he needs to find a reliable person.This guy Wang Guangyang is swaying. It is obvious that he is not from Zhang Ximeng's faction. If he is promoted to the right minister of his sect and in charge of the subordinate province, what if he continues to hinder government affairs?

Moreover, Sun Yan has just secured his position and brought up Wang Guangyang. Can your Sun Xianggong still control the court?

After all, Zhu Biao was too young to figure out the delicate calculations involved.

But there are a few people who have already started to give Sun Yan a thumbs up.

As expected of this guy who came out of Taishi Zhang's side, he judged the situation, seized the opportunity, and leveraged his strength to fight. This set of things is really very skillful.

Letting Wang Guangyang take over as the right minister seems to have promoted him, and he is only one step away from the left minister.

But the problem is that if you want to be promoted one step higher, you must first warm up the position of the right minister.

Then look at who is there in the province?

Song Lian, Liu Bowen, Yao Guangxiao.

Each of these gods is more powerful than the other.

Zhang Ximeng sits at the gate of the province, and they are very honest and obedient.But what is your quality, Wang Guangyang?Do you also want these few to be obedient?

Isn't that a dream!

Moreover, the mission of Menxia Province is very special, mainly responsible for evaluating many officials and supervising them from top to bottom.This is a very professional matter, and there is not much room for the prime minister to play it.

That's why Zhang Ximeng didn't have to worry about how many days he was away from Beijing.

All in all, putting Wang Guangyang in the right position is to turn him into a display.

And just now Sun Yan left the matter of raising funds and building a normal school to Hu Weiyong, which was even more brilliant.

Don't you object?

Then let you do it.

If you don't do it well, you'll be convicted!

Obviously, Sun Yan doesn't have the tolerance of a prime minister, he has the temperament of not staying overnight for revenge.In the past, he was weak in strength and could not do whatever he wanted.

Whether it is Hu Weiyong or Wang Guangyang, their qualifications are much higher than Sun Yan's. If he wants to play with these two alone, he will only get frustrated.

Even if you are the prime minister on the left, you can't do it.

But it's different now. Xu Da, Tang He, and even Jiang Nan all stood together because of the education reform.

Let me ask, if they simply adjust their positions, will these people help Sun Yan?

Totally unreasonable.

Only at this time is the right time, place and people and everything is ready.

To put it bluntly, it is also bullying.

But Sun Yan did it, and he did it confidently and righteously.

In fact, this reveals another thing, the rules of the game in the Great Ming Dynasty Hall have changed.

When Li Shanchang and Zhang Ximeng were prime ministers, because of their transcendent status and their relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang.

When encountering a problem, they will mostly discuss it in front of the imperial court, and then unite people's hearts. For some officials who can't figure it out, they will act both hard and soft to ensure that they are united.

At least when making decisions, it will be a voice.

But when it comes to Sun Yan, he doesn't have this prestige, and he can't do it at all, and other important ministers may not buy his account.

But it doesn't matter, Sun Yan doesn't ask for that, he just needs to grasp the overall situation and be able to carry out administrative affairs smoothly. As for those troublesome people, I have plenty of ways to play with you!

It's hard to say which of the two games is better.

It can only be said that they all adapt to local conditions and adapt to the situation... In the era of Zhang Ximeng and Li Shanchang, there were not many officials who could take on heavy responsibilities, and they had a high prestige and could suppress everyone.

When it comes to Sun Yan, he is not strong enough, but there are too many people who want to be an official. The various ministries of Zhongshu, the chief envoys below, and the inspectors are as numerous as the crucian carp in the river.

Change people without changing heads.

After a meeting, too many things changed, and for a while, it was too late to think too deeply.

But one thing is for sure, this time Sun Yan is thorough, he has secured his position, and there will be no accidents when he orders the court from now on.

……

"Sir, this Sun Yan was carefully arranged by you, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still in Beiping, said calmly.

Zhang Ximeng quickly shook his head, "My lord, I really didn't deliberately arrange anything, I can only say that the times make heroes and let this kid catch up."

Old Zhu snorted coldly, "The times make heroes! You've said that, and we don't believe it...Let me ask you, is this reform really effective?"

Lao Zhu also changed his mind, he didn't want to care too much about the affairs of the court, and Sun Yan's intrigue with those people is your business.

What we want is the implementation of government affairs and the success of reform.

Obviously, Lao Zhu has begun to be result-oriented.

Zhang Ximeng pondered for a while, and said, "Master, the situation this time should be much better. I dare not say that it will be absolutely fair, but there is no doubt that it will make great progress."

Zhang Ximeng still has a lot of information that others can't get... such as the analysis of students from Jimin School and Fudan School.

"Please look, my lord. Among them, the children of rich families, originally famous families, they account for as much as [-]%, and there are more Fudan Schools, reaching [-]%. And the rest are mostly from poor families, and the real poor families are almost few. Not much. But according to my statistics, more than [-]% of the imperial government’s school funding is invested in relatively affluent areas, as well as those places with prosperous traditional cultures.”

The data is the most telling. Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang analyzed carefully, and with less than [-]% of the funds, they contributed nearly [-]% of the students.

From the perspective of investment income, investing in poor places is definitely getting twice the result with half the effort.

The reason is also very simple, those wealthy families are already saturated with resources, so it may not be useful to give them more.But the poor are different, as long as a little sunshine and rain, they can stand up and change their destiny.

Lao Zhu agrees very much with this.

"Didn't that child, Shu Ning, prove this? He sent eighteen children to Fudan School in a few months. He proved that poor people are not bad! Children from poor families can be successful !"

Zhang Ximeng hurriedly said: "My lord is right...but I don't think he proved it."

"Who is that?"

"Of course it's Your Majesty! Your Majesty just climbed out of the poorest family and ascended to the throne step by step!" Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "Is there any better example than Your Majesty? Princes and generals, Ning Youzhong Huh!"

Old Zhu was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed loudly, "Sir, it's too good to be true... But we've finished writing the part about childhood, take a look!"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and handed a volume of manuscripts to Zhang Ximeng.

Zhang Ximeng has already roughly read it, but at the moment it was carefully revised by Lao Zhu, so Zhang Ximeng still reads it very seriously.

Although Zhang Ximeng already knew Lao Zhu's experience very well, every time he mentioned it, he was very moved.

It is really too bitter, too difficult.

Pure grass roots, climbing up from the bottom.

Throwing away the contrived background and the fabricated magic, Zhu Yuanzhang is the epitome of more than [-]% of the poor in this country.

As long as he can remember, he has to work for the family, a little two years older, and grazes cattle for the landlord.

Children couldn't control the cow, and they were knocked down and trampled. It happened from time to time... Another time, when a calf was lost, the whole family ran to look for it. If they couldn't find it, they sold their dilapidated house. I can't afford to pay for a cow.

Fortunately, after climbing over mountains and ridges, the cattle were finally found.

After arriving home, Zhu Yuanzhang was hung up and his father whipped him hard. His mother was also cursing beside him, cursing and cursing, and the whole family hugged together and cried...

Zhu Yuanzhang clearly remembered what his mother said repeatedly that time, why bother to give birth to our family!

If I knew it was for suffering, why bother to give birth to the child, just let it die!

What's the fun in living a life that is worse than death?

The childhood described by Zhu Yuanzhang is shrouded in a thick layer of sadness, hardships and hardships, and difficult livelihoods.But if you say it, you won't be able to live on, and it's not necessarily true.

Zhu Yuanzhang recorded the eldest brother's marriage.

It was one of the few happy events in their family.

In order to marry his eldest brother a daughter-in-law, my father carried hundreds of catties of stones from the mountain, and got a large piece of wood to repair the house and tidy up the yard.

Prepare the dowry and invite relatives and friends to witness.

On the wedding day, there will be meat, vegetables, and wine.
