Chapter 932: What a big game of chess
Seeing the profit and forgetting the righteousness is the right minister Zhang Shangying.
Zhang Shangying took a sip of tea soup, glanced at Su Zhe, who was speechless, and said with a smile: "Although it is not beneficial to the country to provoke without permission, it is always good to earn millions a year." If the Sriwijaya Strait collects an extra 1 million a year, the people of the Central Plains can pay 1 million less taxes a year, which is always a good thing, right? What do you think? ”
Su Zhepi didn't smile for a moment, "If you really have an annual income of one million, it will be considered meritorious...... However, this million can be handed over to the household department or Taifu Temple. ”
At present, the income of the Coastal City Shipping and Purchasing Division is not handed over to the national treasury and Taifu Temple, and is used to support the Military Machinery Division and the three major military schools. If the income suddenly increases by 1 million, the military aircraft department and the three major military schools will not be able to use it up.
"That's natural." Zhang Shangying said with a smile.
Ji Yi is Zhang Dan's grandson-in-law, and Zhang Duan cultivated Zhang Shangying. Therefore, Zhang Shangying has to defend Ji Yi now, and he can't let people deduct the charge of provocation on his head.
Of course, Su Zhe knew the relationship between Zhang Shangying and Ji Yi. He is not willing to tear his face with Zhang Shangying for Ji Yi's provocation - Zhang Shangying is a well-known villain, except for the official family who dare not scold, no one else dares to scold!
Moreover, Su Zhe is now also playing a big game of chess. There is really no need to engage in political disputes with Zhang Shangying because of a trivial matter when the chess game is not completed.
Su Zhe's big chess is of course a reform that will profoundly change China's education and official selection mechanism!
That's right, Su Zhe is also going to take the imperial examination this time!
The scholars of the Song Dynasty were still very thoughtful, which was not quite the same as the scholars of the Ming and Qing dynasties, who were more rigid in their brains. On the one hand, they are still searching for truth for Confucianism, and on the other hand, they are also trying to reform the shortcomings of the current system.
As early as Wang Anshi's reform, the imperial examination system was considered to have great flaws. The talent taken has no ability to do practical work. No matter how good the "scriptures" above are, they have to be recited badly by these crooked-mouthed Jinshi.
When Wang Anshi wanted to reform the imperial examination, Su Zhe was of course against it. At that time, he was a cadre of the old party, and of course he was against the new study and new policy.
For Wang Anshi's idea of changing the imperial examination to Taixue, he felt extremely disgusted.
But it is just that the creation makes people, and there is such an outlier as Wu Haogu in the good Song Dynasty Confucianism! As a businessman and military attaché, he was stunned to play the name of the positivist school!
Moreover, the theory of the positivist school answers the question of the Spring and Autumn sages, including Confucius, very well: how to find the Tao? How to check things?
With such academic attainments, no one can deny Wu Haogu's status as a great Confucian—if it were the Qing Dynasty now, perhaps it would be possible to use science to oppose Wu Haogu's positivist school (which has been carried for more than 30 years in history). However, the era in which Su Zhe lived was the era when Confucian scholars were looking for answers on their own (answering the questions of the sages and complementing the Confucian worldview). Both science and mind originated in this era! And Wu Haogu's positivist school answers the question better than science and mind.
However, knowing that Wu Haogu gave the most correct answer, Su Zhe could not become a supporter of Wu Haogu and the positivist school like his brother.
The reason is very simple, that is, the positivist school is shaking the feudal order of the Great Song Dynasty! The Great Song Dynasty was a country ruled by the Son of Heaven and scholars. Although business is thriving, the roots are still small-scale peasant economies. The smallholder economy, on the other hand, is characterized by self-sufficiency and fragmentation. The dependence on commercial circulation is much lower than that on land.
Therefore, under this economic model, the stability of the country, the stability of the classes, and the balance of the various localities can also be maintained. The state only needs to do a good job in disaster relief, light taxation, light forced labor, and the opening of the imperial examination, so that it can achieve long-term peace and stability.
However, positivist scholarship is a kind of "high-cost" and "high-return" scholarship. In particular, the study of nature has become a tool to stimulate the development of big business and industry.
Jiehe immortal liquor (liquor), Jiehe marl, Jiehe hippo, Jiehe iron, Jiehe boat, Jiehe brick, Jiehe dye, Jiehe printing, Jiehe water hammer, Jiehe gunpowder...... And the kind of buildings that are built higher and higher! There are all kinds of technologies emerging one after another, and behind each technology, there is a shadow of positivism, and most of them can be used by businessmen.
Therefore, the positivist school is making the industry and commerce of the Great Song Dynasty richer and richer! The wealth of the world is rapidly flowing into the money bags of big industry and businessmen!
What's more, what is even more excessive is that the three major military academies controlled by the positivist school and the Youbang Jinshi Department have also become a ladder for the children of industry and commerce to get involved in military and political affairs.
The high tuition fees of the positivist schools, and the fact that most of them are concentrated in the commercial capital, make it difficult for the majority of rural scholars to benefit from the positivist school, and they will also become victims of the development of the positivist school. Without their support, the foundations of the Great Song rule would be shaken.
As a leftist minister, Su Zhe sees the consequences of the uncontrolled and barbaric growth of the positivist school better than anyone else.
In fact, he was not blindly opposed to the positivist school, and he knew that it was impossible to completely defeat such a correct school. However, he felt that he had to bring the positivist school under the control of the imperial court, and he must not develop it savagely, let alone allow the positivist school to combine with the great merchants and workers and turn it into an emerging force that could confront the scholars......
And the method that Su Zhe used to deal with the positivist school was to reform the Biyong School Palace, and then carry out the imperial examination reform.
His specific approach is to turn the Biyong School Palace into a semi-new school palace that takes science as the body, uses practical learning as the use, and cultivates practical talents. At the same time, the imperial examination was turned into an entrance examination for students to the Biyong Academy.
In this way, the poor students in the world can not only keep their ladder to heaven, but also learn to apply their learning to the world, and become the real pillars of the imperial court in the future.
Thinking of this, Su Zhe picked up a piece of music placed on the desk and unfolded it in his hand.
"Guozi Priest Wine and Biyong School Palace's Great Si Cheng Taozi Ceremony on a Reform School Palace, I don't know if you have ever read it?"
Of course, Tao Jiefu took this piece according to Su Zhe's intentions. The gist of the recital is to reform the Biyong School Palace again!
The focus of the reform is twofold: First, the reform of the enrollment method, which has changed from the original local recommendation and local government recommendation to examination admission.
Another key point of reform is the reform of the school curriculum, from the original Yunwen Yunwu (in fact, it is no longer implemented) to Confucianism (science) as the foundation, and the study that has been applied to the world is used. The so-called practical learning includes military science, arithmetic, agriculture, water conservancy, financial management, law, and so on.
And the kind of knowledge that is not very practical, such as "Positivism", "Theory of Reason", "Gewuxue", "Biology", etc., as well as arithmetic and military science that is too "profound" or too "simple" (martial arts), will not be taught.
In this way, the curriculum of the Biyong Academy will be relatively simplified, and the study time will be shortened from the original four years (including one year of preparatory course) to two years. Moreover, it is also conducive to the elderly Jinshi to master these practical learnings.
Tao Jiefu's recital, the Zaizhi present has naturally read it. In fact, Su Zhe did not carry out reform behind their backs, but fully exchanged views with them.
This time, the reform of the imperial examination and the Biyong Academy is not Su Zhe's business alone, but to defend the interests of the world's scholars and the stability of the world!
Zhang Shangying thought for a while, and then said: "Tao Zili's suggestion is very good, and it is for the long-term peace and stability of the world. It's just that there is no quota for entering the Biyong Academy, will the wise men and doctors from all over the country still assist the imperial court in recruiting government soldiers? ”
Su Zhe said: "Isn't there still a township school, a county school and a state school?" He stroked his beard, "The government soldiers should be based on the township covenant and township learning, and they should not exchange officials for soldiers." What is the difference between doing this method and selling official beards? ”
Jiang Zhiqi, who knew the Privy Council, said: "You can use the quota of the county school and the state school to exchange for the government soldiers, and if you can't do it, you will be given a few places that are exempted from the examination." You can also use the exemption test to encourage township covenants and township learning. In all villages where a township covenant was made and a township school was established, the presiding gentry could be exempted from treatment at one time. ”
Exemption is indifferent to the top students, but it is still very valuable for the vast majority of students who can only take the imperial examination by luck.
"Good!" Su Zhe nodded, "This is a great discussion!" He thought for a moment, "Do you still want to keep the right list of Jinshi?" ”
The right list of Jinshike can be said to be an important position of the positivist school! Its value lies not only in how many Jinshi from the empirical school are tested in a year, but also in the fact that it can recruit a large number of "rich people" for the Yuntai School Palace and the Gezhi School Palace.
With "Caizi", PTZ and Gezhi can have enough financial resources to hire the best teachers, give students the best education, and can also invest part of the funds in Gewu research.
If the right list of Jinshike stops, then Yuntai and Gezhi will lose millions a year!
"Right List Jinshi......" Su Zhe pondered, "It still has to be retained, but it must also be reformed!" ”
Of course, it is good to cancel the right list of Jinshi, but Zhao Ji will definitely not agree.
"How to reform?" Deng Xunwu, the waiter of the Chinese book, asked.
"Now that the military attache has its own three major military studies, why do you need to be on the right list?" Su Zhe said, "The right list of Jinshi should be set up for trick officers!" ”
In the chain of officialdom discrimination in the Song Dynasty, civil officials were at the top, military officials were at the middle, and military officials were at the bottom.
Su Zhe said: "The study of things in the Yuntai Academy Palace is actually set up for trick officers! The courses of Qingcheng School Palace and Gezhi School Palace are also set up for trick officers. In that case, why don't you turn the right list jinshi into a trick jinshi? ”
"Trick Jinshi?"
"That's a good name!"
"That's how it should be!"
"It's still thoughtful."
The two governors in the middle hall of the government hall all nodded yes. The right list jinshi became the cradle of the trick officer, which not only met Zhao Ji's need to open up an official career for the students of the Qingcheng Academy, but also secretly changed the concept, and the right list jinshi, who was originally equivalent to the left list jinshi, was suddenly demoted to a trick officer who was worse than the military attaché.
