Chapter 567 Isn't there someone in the Imperial Prison?

Wen Tiren, who was prepared for Zhu Youjian's inquiry, replied calmly.

After receiving reports from relevant government officials in various places, Wen Tiren began to consider how to solve the problem. After coming up with a more feasible plan, he deliberately proposed it in the second meeting of the new cabinet so that the emperor could give an answer immediately when soliciting opinions, thereby showing his ability.

"Oh? Who is the Jiace for you? Let's listen!"

Zhu Youjian still appreciates Wen Tiren's ability to deal with internal affairs issues. In addition, this assistant has basically never sang opposite him, so Zhu Youjian's attitude towards Wen Tiren has always been gentle and amiable.

Like others to obey yourself, this is a natural attribute that almost everyone has, from emperors, generals, and ordinary people. Especially for people with strong personalities, they think that their ideas are the most correct, and all the opposite opinions are shallow knowledge and inadequate and plan.

"After receiving the love from the lower class, the old minister thought for a long time, and finally thought of a place: the Imperial College.

Since the spring examination last year, the emperor issued an order for all the students who failed to attend the Imperial College for further study, they have been one year and half a year old. During this period, there were 227 employees in the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Revenue, Inspectorate, Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, Sinong Temple and other departments to serve in relevant positions in various places after being selected. At present, there are still 2,836 readers in the prison, including 2,621, and the rest are all those who have not performed the ceremony and are still young."

Since the implementation of the new policy of students who failed the exam and entered the Imperial College for study last year, the effect has been quite significant. Although most of the students expressed dissatisfaction and resistance to this, they still chose to obey in the face of reality.

Zhu Youjian tried to reverse the concept and trend of scholars from the Ming Dynasty who only valued scriptures but not effectiveness through this practice, and strived to turn the Imperial College into the highest institution and cradle for the Ming Dynasty to cultivate various talents.

All ideas must be put into practice. Since you want to change the world, you have to make your own efforts. Although this effort may have little effect at the beginning, it is always thousands of times better than utopianism that sits on the spot.

More than 200 scholars who are well-versed in law and are proficient in the law and creation of agriculture have taken up their positions after being evaluated and selected. Although this proportion is not high compared to those with as many as 3,000 scholars, it at least makes these scholars who claim to be capable of the world realize that the trend of the imperial court in the future has changed, and studying poetry and books has no future. Only by being pragmatic and willing to work hard can one have the opportunity to be elected officials, otherwise they will be destined to be unknown in this life.

Among the data reported by Wen Tiren just now, adults account for the vast majority. These people have the ability and physique to go out to work hard, and the remaining ones under 20 years old are not considered.

Among these young people are Zhu Cixuan and the young children from the families of all the important officials. They all entered the Imperial College as ordinary students. They had to take a day off for five days before going home. They all had to eat and live in the Imperial College for the rest of the time.

In order to facilitate dealing with others and for their own safety, Zhu Cixuan has changed his name to Zhu Junsheng. Only a few people know his true identity. These people have been strictly ordered not to disclose the identity of the prince to the public, otherwise they will be confined to their family for the rest of their lives.

"The meaning of supplement is to release the students in the Imperial College to sharpen their talents? This strategy is very good! The students have already learned knowledge, but they are only able to put it into practice. First, there is a place for them to use to display them. In this way, talents will stand out, and vice versa, otherwise they will become the most beautiful! It is very wonderful!"

Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but admire Wen Tiren's sensible strokes.

"As the emperor said, all the students have been in prison for a long time. Apart from those who have been promoted and released, most of the remaining 2,000 people are doing nothing, and their minds are mostly on the next spring exam. Many of them even skip classes and prostitutes and do not seek to improve their studies. Instead of letting such people waste national funds, it is better to take the opportunity to put them in, so that they can experience the way of becoming an official and then determine their future based on the facts, so as not to mislead more mediocre officials!"

Old Wen directly made the words clear: most of these more than 2,000 people did not take the emperor's pragmatic request to seek truth and be pragmatic, and they still wanted to strive to win the next imperial examination, so that they could be the official in a noble manner.

If such people do not arrange to polish their experience and then select them according to actual conditions, even if they become officials in the future, they will only have more bureaucrats.

"As the assistant to the Ming Dynasty, my second son has to go to the fields to deal with farmers every day. Why are you bullshit scholars so hard and tired? Are you more noble than me? This time I have to defeat you all!"

Old Wen cursed in his heart.

These students have a monthly allowance of one or two cents of food, which is used for daily diet. Although this amount of money is not much, it is more than enough for eating.

In fact, all scholars who passed the imperial examination have relatively good family conditions, and most of them are not short of this amount of money at all.

The so-called poor students do not refer to scholars from poor families. The poor families mentioned in the ancients were the small landlord class.

In this era when industry and commerce are not well-established and the ways to make money are very rare, from studying to passing the imperial examination, a lot of money is spent.

Whether it is the daily pen, ink, paper and inkstone, or the cost of going out to school, it costs at least several taels of silver every month. For ordinary people's family conditions, how can they spare the effort to support a labor force who has not worked for several years or even more than ten years?

It is precisely because of their food and clothing, and even their family wealth, many candidates in the Imperial College took advantage of the opportunity to stay away from home for a long time. They skipped classes for no reason on weekdays, invited friends to have dinner every day, or lingered in the housekeepers, or rented a house to maintain a house, and did not care about their reputation and future. The actions of these people have aroused many dissatisfactions from many upright civil officials.

The current Imperial College Prison is a gentle Korean and Japanese Zhang. Because he is nearly 60 years old and his physical condition has begun to be poor this year, he does not have enough energy to pay attention to the things in the prison, which has led to the above-mentioned situation becoming more and more serious in the eleventh year of Chongzhen. This situation has caused dissatisfaction among many civil officials, and the calls for the Imperial College Prison Prison to replace the wine are getting higher and higher.

"This discussion is very consistent with my wish! After the consultation, the cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites will formulate relevant regulations on this matter, and then go to the Imperial College to declare that the students will strive to complete the journey as soon as possible after the selection is completed. As for the number of people sent, it should be around 1,000!"

The relevant ministers of Wen Tirenwei stood up to pay tribute to the orders. Old Wen also made up his mind. In this selection, we should arrange those bad reputations first. I will ask you to take the money from the family and do whatever you want. This time I will not take care of you for your family. I will stop doing this.

Since the emperor issued an order, and the cabinet, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites personally handled it, it would not care whether you would like to go or not. As long as you dare to disobey, you would definitely be blacklisted and your future will end. As long as you explain the interests clearly, these proud disciples on weekdays should not obey orders?

"That's all for today's consultation. Just now, all the things I have assigned are immediately handled and no delays are allowed!"

Seeing that it was noon, Zhu Youjian, who was already hungry, ordered him to leave his seat and return to the harem. The ministers stood up and gave him respectfully. After seeing the corner of the emperor's clothes disappear, Wen Tiren immediately announced that the relevant ministers' cabinet was discussing matters, and then the ministers left Zhaoren's Palace in a low voice.

At night that day, 300 Tiqi, who were good at fighting in close combat in the North Town Fushi, disguised as travelers and other identities, carried a large number of long and short firearms and went straight to Tongzhou Pier, and took several official boats to Hangzhou along the canal overnight, and then hired sea boats from Hangzhou to Fujian.

This is the second-hand preparation made by Zhu Youjian.

If things are inconsistent, these Tiqi who sneaked in early will wait for an opportunity to kill all the pirate leaders including Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao with the cooperation of the local Jinyiwei Qianhu Office.

On the fourth day after the Tiqi left, Zou Weilian took a full imperial envoy to Tianjin Wharf and took the Zheng family merchant ship south to Quanzhou.
