In mid-May, Minister of Education Jia Wenzheng suddenly came to apply for special funds. Zhu Ciyang was a little surprised. Is there still a shortage of money after investing so much in this education?

When Jia Wenzheng came in, Zhu Cixuan found that this guy looked even more gloomy. He put such a diva on the education position and did not know whether it was good or bad for Daming.

Jia Wenzheng bowed: "Your Majesty, since the revival, Your Majesty sent some old Confucian officials to the Royal Library to repair books and compile historical books.

I went to watch last month and found that these people did not do the corresponding historical work in their position, and the repair of books was deleted at will according to their personal preferences.

Your Majesty intends to make the controversy of hundreds of schools of thought reappear in the Ming Dynasty, but these people did send dissent and dispose of non-Confucian books at will.

I think such a royal library is not enough to complete His Majesty’s heavy trust, so I ask His Majesty to allow these people to retire early and then recruit talents to complete the book repair work.”

Zhu Ciyang was a little stunned. The Royal Library of the Ming Dynasty? How long has it been since I asked to copy 100 sets of Yongle Ceremony last time?

Zhu Cilang is not so fond of reading, especially those who are awkward ancient Chinese and Zhihu, who are too lazy to read them.

He hasn't been to this Royal Library several times.

Of course, these people were arranged in the library, in fact, they had been doing things since the Chongzhen incident. At that time, they threw the disobedient diehards over and asked them to edit books. Later, the revival began, and many Confucian officials in the Ming Dynasty were sent to their elderly care.

How serious do you expect a group of people who have entered nursing homes to work? It’s good not to ask for trouble for you.

However, what Jia Wenzheng said is right. Library is not a trivial matter. It is also an important task for the library to summarize existing books in the Ming Dynasty, then publish and backup and store valuable books.

Because not all books are worthy of large-scale publication and sale, and these books have certain value, at this time, libraries need to print on a small scale and then distribute them to libraries in various places for backup and storage.

If this work is slackened, then a large number of books with only one book will appear in the Royal Library of the Ming Dynasty. Once fires, insects are damaged, moisture, mold, rain, etc. occur, these books will be gone.

So if you want them to retire, you really can't ignore them in the library.

There is also the matter of excluding dissent as Jia Wenzheng said. These people are from Confucianism. Not to mention other schools, they don’t even like new schools. If they ask them to organize and edit books, they are really only concerned about those Confucian theories.

The Ming Dynasty is now a period of a big explosion of knowledge. If we do not summarize it well and let more people get in touch, how can we create giants' shoulders for people to stand?

From this point of view, these people have indeed influenced the education of the Ming Dynasty and the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Jia Wenzheng proposed to let people retire early, which was really not his first creation. This was invented by Zhu Cixuan himself, because since the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cixuan stipulated several situations where early retirement can be retired.

For example, sudden physical disability, sudden serious illness, or ability to adapt to work, etc.

Of course, early retirement will definitely have an impact on pensions. It is hard to say whether these librarians are willing to retire early.

If you don’t want to force them directly. Keeping these people in the system seems to be a waste of Zhu Cilang’s money, but in fact this is also a constraint on them.

Not everyone is willing to bow down for five dou of rice.

Because these Confucian officials also received salaries from the court, they would consider not offending taboos in their words and deeds, and would not participate in or organize activities that His Majesty did not like.

There is a job, but if you don’t work, you have to sit in the library every day.

But this early retirement is equivalent to stealing other people's money and letting others get idle. Then you don't go on the street every day and say yours every day is not!

So this reform of the library is OK. If you want these people to be laid off early, it will be a bit extreme.

How to place it? Study history? I hope these people can study history. After practicing it over and over again, they will eventually cultivate the history before the Ming Dynasty into the history of Confucianism.

What Zhu Ciyang wants is to understand the history of a dynasty and period from all aspects, including events, climate data, price change data, military data, steel and coal production, etc.

These data will eventually become part of the Ming Dynasty's big data system and become an important reference material for Zhu Cixuan to govern the country.

In other words, it is unqualified to ask these people to study history.

If you can’t be dismissed, you can’t use it, so just write Confucian textbooks!

Zhu Cixuan said: "Recently, Confucian education has risen rapidly in the Mughal region and other regions, but the teachers and students there are indeed different teaching contents.

Confucianism can have schools, but there cannot be schools that do not meet the requirements of the Ming Dynasty to govern the country.

Let these people write Confucian textbooks. Confucianism is not a law-abiding study, and Mughal is not a law-abiding place. After you go back, you keep a close eye on the textbooks they compile and review them personally. It is necessary to conform to the main idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

As the saying goes, it is better to lose weight than to block. Since Confucianism still has a soil for survival, we must carefully prune it to make it a pillar of the Ming Dynasty.”

What Jia Wenzheng heard was that Confucianism cannot teach randomly, especially the Mughals cannot teach randomly. They should teach loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, guidance, and trimming. Your Majesty is right, and these Confucian scholars are just not dealt with.

It must be the thing Sun Chuanting did in Mughal some time ago that made His Majesty dissatisfied. Look, Sun Chuanting was sent to another exile and ran further this time. He went to the Ottoman, so he still needs to trim it!

Zhu Cilang didn't know how many words he said made Jia Wenzheng find another excuse to deal with Confucianism.

Zhu Cixuan continued: "As for this library matter, it really needs to be paid attention to. You recruit new personnel, standardize systems, and determine the book review process. It is best to cross-examination and not to do a one-man show.

In addition, next year is the tenth year of revival. I am planning to revise a Ming encyclopedia to record some of the technological breakthroughs and advanced processes achieved by various industries in the Ming Dynasty.

This set of books must be both true and detailed, and strictly keep the content confidential. Many advanced technology and secret technologies of the Ming Dynasty cannot be leaked.

In addition to the Ming Encyclopedia, there is also a revision of the Ming Encyclopedia reading material to popularize some basic knowledge to facilitate borrowing and searching. The Ming Encyclopedia will copy ten sets.
Chapter completed!
