The test of Jiaxu Science Hall has been settled, and the preparations for the Liaodong Special Administrative Region have been almost done. Zhu Cijiu began to launch a series of new policies:

The first thing is to do is to establish the Liaodong Special Zone, separate the prefectures and counties in the Liaohe Plain of Haizhou, Gaizhou, Guangning, Guanning, Dingliao Zhongzuowei and other Liaohe Plain from Liaodong Jun Town, and establish the Zhili Fengtian Prefecture, specializing in agricultural production and taking into account industrial development, and build it into a new granary in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty.

Then, national education was promoted, and enlightenment schools were established in all prefectures, prefectures, counties and township pavilions in the Ming Dynasty, and the schools mainly taught elementary school courses such as "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic". All children under the age of twelve can study in the school for three years for free.

Finally, the Daming Firearms Academy was renamed the Daming Academy of Engineering Sciences, and majors such as artillery manufacturing, musket manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, arithmetic geometry, etc. are set to be held every three years. Each session will recruit 3,000 children. After passing the assessment, you can enter the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Revenue and relevant local government offices.

Such a major decision involves too many yamen and officials, so naturally it is not possible to carry out a few imperial edicts by Zhu Cijiong, and it must be passed through the court discussion.

That morning, after all the matter was reported, Zhu Cijiong took the rituals of the Honglu Temple to start reading the new policy.

He was actually quite nervous inside. Although he had almost 20% of the officials in the court were replaced by him, and the people who were left were loyal and patriotic on the surface, who could guarantee that they were all selfless saints. It would be impossible to have everyone in the court be one-sided, but do these people dare to jump out and sing opposites?

Fortunately, these people were covered with a layer of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, so when they read the first article, no one jumped out to object. At most, a few people frowned slightly afterwards. The food in Liaodong is related to the loss of tens of millions of taels of transportation costs. If you have to oppose this, it is not a question of whether you love or not, but a ulterior motive.

The second thing is that no one is rumored. It is a good thing to educate civilians after all. Although it costs a little money, it is not their money. There is no need for dogs to meddle in other people's business with mice.

When I read the third article, someone's expression began to be wrong. Isn't this a naked promotion of barbarian studies? Especially the last sentence, after passing the assessment, you can enter the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Revenue and relevant local governments to serve. This is not bad. If you learn barbarian studies, you can still become an official. Isn't this going to shake the dominance of Confucianism!

Seeing that many old men's faces began to turn blue, Zhu Cijiu looked like he jumped out to choose someone and ate them. He quickly took out his killer move and stood up and said loudly: "It's still late today. Everyone should go back and think about the issues of the new policy. If you have any suggestions, you can make memorials. I will consider it carefully and leave the court."

After saying that, turn around and leave!

Many old men were choked to death by him. After a long time of hard work, they were about to jump out and make a fuss, but they retreated from the court!

Zhu Cijing knew that it was definitely not that simple to promote Western learning, but there was no way, and it would not work without promotion. The great powers were developing rapidly, and the Ming Dynasty must catch up. To develop the economy, it would not work by relying solely on the education of Confucian saints. Those are just castles in the air and fantasies. Science must be advocated and productivity can be promoted so that the economy can develop.

What should come always comes. Zhu Cijing did not sit there and wait for the old stubborn people to come to him for life. It seems that no one should object to the construction and implementation of universal education in Liaodong. He immediately issued an order:

The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Works were ordered to jointly handle the construction issues in Liaodong, and immediately organized civilians to start migration, arranged relevant officials to go to Fengtian Prefecture to work, prepare for the construction of the Beijing-Liao Railway, and prepare related agricultural production facilities...

The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue jointly handle relevant issues of universal education, immediately allocate funds to build schools in prefectures, counties and township pavilions, recruit students from all over the country to prepare for teaching students, and print all kinds of primary school books as textbooks...

Zhu Cijing just asked Cao Huachun to arrange for someone to issue an order, but soon Cao Huachun said loudly outside: "Report to the emperor, a memorial has arrived."

So quickly, Zhu Cijing felt a little sad. These old guys are really not afraid of death!

If you can hide from the first day of the lunar month, you can hide from the fifteenth day of the morning court, you can't hide from the memorials. Zhu Cijiu gritted his teeth and said aloud: "Come in."

Cao Huachun took a memorial, bowed and walked in, and handed it to Zhu Cijiu with both hands.

Zhu Cijiu looked at it and found that it was only one. It seemed that it was not an organized resistance movement. He whispered slightly and took the memorial and opened it.

As soon as he looked at it, he immediately looked shocked. This memorial was not written by the stubborn old men in the court, but by Sun Chengzong who was far away from Liaodong!

Zhu Cijiu wanted to establish the Zhili Fengtian Prefecture in Liaodong, so he naturally had to communicate with Sun Chengzong first. Sun Chengzong had no objection. He had already begun to arrange the Liaodong military camps to migrate to the Guangning Jin line and the Tieling Liaohai line. However, when it involved the deployment of 400,000 troops, he raised a question, what should North Korea do?

Zhu Cijiu was a little difficult to decide on this issue for a while. Let’s fight. It seems that Korea has always regarded the Ming Dynasty as its tribute every year. Even if they even appointed a king, they would ask for instructions from the Ming Dynasty. After the Ming Dynasty agreed and issued a title edict, they dared to establish a new king. If they don’t fight, it seems that they have already fallen to the Later Jin Dynasty. Huang Taiji has been running away for almost half a year, and they have not expressed any to the Ming Dynasty at all. This is not clear that he still thinks he is a vassal state of the Later Jin Dynasty!

The impression of North Korea Zhu Cijiu is not very good. They are too jealous in their later generations. One is kind to revenge and the other is arrogant. They don’t take China seriously at all. If they dare to do this now, he will definitely send troops to destroy these sticks without hesitation. The problem is that they have done nothing now, they just don’t say anything. Do they really want to send a large army to destroy them?

Zhu Cijing thought about it and decided to educate them first. If they don’t accept discipline, don’t blame him for being ruthless.

How should we educate them? Just let them pay tribute as before?

Zhu Cijing always felt that this was a bit inappropriate. He had no loss to sanction them, and the tribute was just a form, and the Ming Dynasty gave back more. This vassal state with no practical benefits was of no use at all. When they were beaten, they asked the Ming Dynasty to send troops to protect it. The Korean War in Wanli was so fierce. In order to protect this little brother, the Liaodong Town of the Ming Dynasty lost 60% of its troops, and its defense ability was not as good as before. As a result, the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty also suffered a serious economic deficit. It can be said that the demise of the Ming Dynasty began in this war!

Such a useless person is really a headache. The old stubborn people in the court are even more troublesome. How come the headaches come together?

As he thought about it, Zhu Cijiu suddenly had an idea. If those old stubborn people were allowed to deal with North Korea, wouldn’t they have solved both headaches?

With this idea, Zhu Cijing immediately began to analyze that the old men in the court stubbornly prevented the promotion of Western studies were to maintain the dominant position of Confucianism. The reason why North Korea had a headache was that they were just formal surrender and did not regard themselves as part of the Ming Dynasty.

Can those old stubborn people turn North Korea into a true vassal state of the Ming Dynasty? Yes!

There is a method called cultural invasion. Assimilating them is more effective than knocking them down. If they beat them down, they can get up. After several generations, they will heal their scars and forget the pain and continue to fight against you. Assimilating them will be different. They will all become people of the Ming Dynasty, and there is nothing left.

Isn’t this a bit whimsical? If it were the Chongzhen Dynasty, it would be whimsical. But now it is the Chongzheng Dynasty, and hundreds of thousands of troops are pressing forward. If you are not convinced, you will be destroyed!

Thinking of this, Zhu Cijiu sighed and said loudly: "Cao Huachun, immediately Huang Daozhou came to see him."

Cao Huachun took the order and left. Soon Huang Daozhou came to meet him. Seeing him as if he was generous, Zhu Cijing couldn't help but laugh in his heart: "Hehehehe, I want to play with me to death, I'm so beautiful."

Although Huang Daozhou was furious, he still did a good job of the minimum etiquette. As soon as he came in, he gave a standard gift and said loudly: "I am here to see the emperor."

Zhu Cijing walked forward with a smile, held his arm and said, "Oh, Huang Aiqing is free from gifts, get up quickly, get up quickly."

Huang Daozhou stood up for no reason, saying that he would not hit people with a smile, not to mention that he was the emperor, but it was impossible to use such a trick to win him over and make him not take the lead in opposing Western learning!

He was not good enough to get angry immediately, so he had to stalk his neck and said, "I wonder what the emperor is doing to find the empress?"

Zhu Cijing pretended to appreciate and said, "Huang Aiqing is rigorous in his academic discipline and knowledgeable knowledge. He is a model for scholars. I have something here that needs Huang Aiqing's help. I wonder if Huang Aiqing is willing to help me?"

A big thing is of course a big thing. You have to put the learning of sages behind your mind. How big is this matter? Help, hum, there is no door!

Huang Daozhou still stammered his neck and said, "I dare not be the emperor to praise him like this. How dare I ask what the emperor said about the big thing?"

Zhu Cijing asked without answering, "Does Huang Aiqing have the confidence to use the learning of sages to educate the barbarians?"

If you want to ask me a problem, then I will answer you a problem. Huang Daozhou replied directly: "That depends on whether the barbarians listen to the teachings. If they listen to the teachings honestly, the ministers will naturally be able to teach and transform them. If they are stubborn and refuse to listen to the teachings, the ministers will be powerless."

Zhu Cijing immediately applauded and said, "Okay, this is what you said. I promise to tell them to always listen to the teachings. What if you can't teach them and transform them?"

Humph, if you talk nonsense with me, then just talk. Can you tell me that I forgot the learning of sages? Huang Daozhou patted his chest and promised: "As long as the barbarians listened honestly, the ministers are guaranteed to be able to teach and transform them. If not, the ministers kneel down and die in front of the ranking of sages!"

Zhu Cijing said happily: "Okay, then let this matter be left to Huang Aiqing. Huang Aiqing stepped forward to listen to the title."

Huang Daozhou didn't expect that the emperor had prepared so many tricks and was granted the title of officials after talking nonsense. Can a small official insult me ​​to insult the learning of sages?

He knelt down expressionlessly and muttered to himself: "Shou, seal, I will argue after sealing."

Zhu Cijing shouted without hesitation: "Cao Huachun, I have an order."

Cao Huachun hurriedly walked in, prepared a blank imperial edict, and picked up a pen and waited.

Zhu Cijiong said loudly: "The young Zhan Shifu minister Huang Daozhou was the secretary of the Zhan Shifu minister, and he was in charge of the Imperial College Prison, and was responsible for educating the barbarians. He was the emperor."

Cao Huachun wrote there, and Huang Daozhou kowtowed and thanked him: "I thank you for your kindness, long live my emperor."
