Chapter 684: Changing the Law

"Split the Liberal Academy?"

Pang Yukun and a group of officials were surprised. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Xiao Ming nodded, "Since the capture of the Wei State, the Yan State, and the Liang State, the scholars from the three places have flocked here, and the number of scholars who are trying to enter the school garden to study has increased several times, and the original intention of the Bowen Academy is to provide talents for the original feudal country, and now it includes the scholars of the Great Yu Kingdom, and this academy is not enough." ā€œ

After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming continued: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and the Bowen Academy brings together the strengths of all families, which is broad and complex, and it is also not conducive to the secrecy of secret technology. ā€

Pang Yukun nodded, and he said, "Your Majesty, in general, the current Great Yu Kingdom lacks effective governance over the Bowen Academy and various schools. ā€œ

Speaking of this, Fiji and the others couldn't interject, compared to Pang Yukun, they didn't know much about these things.

"Pang Shoufu is right, I am still the king of Qi will seal the country and the small number of talents needed, it doesn't matter if this liberal arts college is casual, now that the world is unified, there are many talents needed, and this matter should be put on the agenda, and this is the second item of the change, which is to establish the Ministry of Culture and Education."

"Ministry of Culture and Education?"

The officials had a lot of discussions, and they were familiar with this Zhongshu Province, which was the official office in charge of secrets and issued the emperor's edict.

It's just that although there is discussion, there is no fierce opposition from officials this time, since Xiao Ming removed Yu Ming last time, the officials in the court know that the emperor is determined to change the law.

This abolition of Shinong Industry and Commerce was the first item, and now the second item has appeared.

Fiji did not object, but there were some questions he needed to ask clearly, so he said: "Does the emperor want to cancel the imperial examination?" ā€

"The imperial examination doesn't have to be canceled, but it needs to be changed." Xiao Ming said, "After the establishment of the Ministry of Culture and Education, it will govern all schools in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and the reform of this imperial examination will also be implemented by the Ministry of Culture and Education." ā€œ

After studying at the Bowen Academy for a period of time, the officials were actually mentally prepared for this, and in the future, the imperial examinations would no longer be examined for the Four Books and Five Classics, but would be replaced by all kinds of strange knowledge.

Clearing his throat, Xiao Ming continued: "The position of the head official of this Ministry of Culture and Education is called Xuezheng, and the Qingzhou Ministry of Culture and Education will be responsible for leading the Ministry of Culture and Education of other provinces. ā€

"Mansion?" This was not only a shock for Fiji, but even Pang Yukun was a little surprised, this is something they have never heard of.

"Your Majesty, what is this mansion?" Pang Yukun asked.

Xiao Ming smiled lightly, and he said: "This is the third item of the law change, to remove the feudal domain and build a government, and strengthen the imperial court's governance of the prefectures and counties. ā€œ

Although Xiao Ming has now captured Weidi, Yandi, Liang and other areas, just like Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, the people in these places still retain the living habits of the vassal period.

This is naturally unbearable for Xiao Ming, his purpose in killing these vassal kings is to establish centralized power, how can he tolerate the people in these areas still claiming to be Wei and Yan.

Therefore, under the measure, he decided to withdraw the feudal domain and build a government, and the former Wei State was set up as Jinling Mansion, with Jinling Mansion governing the thirteen states of the former Wei region, and then the prefecture governing the county.

The old land of Yan State set up Bozhou Mansion, with Bozhou as the center to govern the ten states of Yan State, followed by Kaifeng Mansion, Chang'an Mansion, Qingzhou Mansion, Youzhou Mansion, and finally his Qingzhou Mansion.

In this way, he divided the land he occupied in front of him into seven prefectures, and thus greatly strengthened the management of the place.

Speaking his thoughts, Xiao Ming looked at the group of officials, waiting for their opinions.

At this time, Pang Yukun and Fiji both fell silent, and Xiao Ming's steps to change the law this time were too big.

Pang Yukun said; "The lower officials know that the emperor is in a hurry to change the law, but the north is not yet stable, and if it is implemented rashly, I am afraid that not only will it not be effective, but it will cause chaos."

"I have already taken this into account, so this change is not implemented in all parts of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, I also know that you Aiqing is skeptical about the change, as the so-called black cat and white cat catch a mouse is a good cat, for you to see is to prove that the change is correct, so I decided to take the lead in implementing the change in Qingzhou Mansion, success or failure only depends on the rise and fall of Qingzhou Mansion."

There are thousands of reasons to say, because the Great Chongqing State has not been beaten by advanced civilizations, and now officials lack enthusiasm for changing the law, and the lack of external factors makes it difficult for a country to make independent changes.

In Europe, Europe would not have sought change to emerge from the Middle Ages if it had not been for the invasion of the Whip of God that opened the door to Europe.

In the same way, if it were not for the invasion of the West that brought advanced civilization, the feudal dynasty would have been circulating forever.

"The Great Chongqing Kingdom needs enemies." Sometimes Xiao Ming suddenly thought like this.

He came to understand why contemporary countries continue to create international contradictions and choose imaginary enemies, because all these are the reasons why countries continue to be strong.

However, the Great Yu State has an enemy, and this enemy is also recognized by everyone, which is the Golden Horde.

It's just that the Golden Horde is a country with a lower level of civilization than the Great Chongqing State, and if the Golden Horde is replaced by a country with a higher degree of civilization than the Great Chongqing State, the current Great Chongqing State will inevitably go all out to reform and follow suit.

Of course, the invaders with a higher level of civilization than the Great Yu Kingdom have arrived, which is also what Xiao Ming is ready to seize, and he is ready to invite the Dutch army stationed in the Ryukyus to visit Qingzhou.

He believes that this will give a clear understanding to officials who oppose the change.

While he was thinking about it, Pang Yukun said loudly: "The emperor is wise, and the lower officials think that it is most appropriate to implement the change of the law in the six states." ā€

Fiji and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, they were afraid that Xiao Ming would make a drastic move, and they said in unison: "The emperor is wise." ā€œ

Looking at the group of officials, Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction, this time his plan was implemented smoothly.

In fact, his purpose this time is to set up a pilot area, which is similar to the steps of contemporary reform and opening up.

If successful, it will be easier to implement the reform in other places, and at the same time, the prosperity of the area that first changes the law will also lead to the development of other places.

Moreover, because the area of law change is small, this is conducive to key supervision, and at the same time, this place must have a basis for law change.

After thinking about it, his former feudal state is very suitable, and if the change is successful, he will implement it in coastal areas such as Youzhou Mansion and Jinling Mansion next.

"There are many decrees involved in changing the law, and there will be no more discussion of it from the top." Xiao Ming gestured to Qian Dafu at this time.

Taking a step forward, Qian Dafu shouted: "If there is something to play early, there is nothing to roll up the curtain and retreat." ā€œ

When the officials heard this, they shouted long live, they didn't dare to say anything more now, and the emperor threw out too many unbelievable things at once today, and they needed to go back and discuss it carefully.

After the court dispersed, Xiao Ming and Qian Dafu left from the side door of the Yizheng Palace, and the two did not return to the palace, but prepared to check the production of the railroad tracks.
