Chapter 1721 : Two Memorials

The first one was written by Liu Bowen. In his memorial, he said that the world had been settled and there were many vacancies for officials across the country. He suggested that he follow the example of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in promoting imperial examinations and opening up Enke, so that scholars all over the world could have official positions.

The memorial also proposed the establishment of local schools in prefectures, prefectures and counties outside Yingtian. The prefectures would have one professor and four tutors, the prefecture would have one xuezheng and three tutors, and the county would have one tutor and two tutors. The prefecture, prefecture would have one tutor and two tutors.

, the number of students in the county school was stipulated according to the needs of the imperial court: 40 students in the government school and 30 students in the state school.

There are twenty people in the county school. Each person is given six buckets of rice per month by the state. Later, several orders were issued to increase the number of places. "The students are specialized in one class, and the subjects are set up with etiquette, music, archery, imperial education, calligraphy, and mathematics."

"Divided education". When students are admitted, examinations are initially conducted by the censor, the chief envoy, the inspector, and the government, prefecture, and county magistrates.

The established Enke examination is divided into three levels: rural examination, general examination and palace examination.

The rural examination is a local examination held by the Zhili and the chief ministers in the south and north. It is also called the rural examination. It is held every three years in the years of Zi, Mao, Wu and You. The location of the rural examination is in Nan and Beiping Prefectures.

and each Chief Secretary's station. Those who preside over the rural examination include two chief examiners, four co-examiners, and one promotion person. In addition, there are officials responsible for receiving papers, sealing, transcribing, reading, patrolling prison gates, and searching for suspects.

The National Examination is a national examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites, also known as Li Wei. It is held in the capital in the second year of the provincial examination, that is, in the Chou, Chen, Wei, and Xu years. Those who participate in the examination must be the Chinese-style provincial examination candidates. The examination points

Three games, one in two

It is held on the ninth, twelfth and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Considering that the joint examination is a higher-level examination than the provincial examination, the number of co-examiners has doubled compared with the provincial examination. The chief examiner, co-examination level promotion, supervisor and other officials are all

It is held by a higher-ranking official.

The palace examination is held in Fengtian Hall or Wenhua Palace, and anyone who can take the Chinese examination can participate. The palace examination is "the emperor personally advises the court", so it is also called the imperial examination. The time of the palace examination, according to the regulations of the imperial examination, is the first day of March

.The Imperial Examination only tests one topic, Shi Wu Ce. Question 1

The exam is generally prepared by the prime minister and submitted to the emperor one day before the exam. The palace exam is limited to one day, and the paper must be handed in before sunset. After completing the paper, the examiner will send the test paper to the sealing officer, and the sealing officer will send it to the examiner.

The filing officer immediately forwards it to Dongge for review by the filing officer.

The emperor personally presided over the palace examination. After the palace examination, the papers were read the next day and the results were released the next day. On that day, the examiner had to evaluate hundreds of examination papers. The task of the examination examiner was to select three papers from the examination papers so that

The emperor did not need to interfere in determining the candidates for the first, first and third grades. At the end of the memorial, Liu Bowen just asked Zhu Yuanzhang to determine the subjects of the examination and the date for the opening of the imperial examination!

After reading the memorial several times, Zhu Yuanzhang relaxed his frown. Although the Tatars are still there, the world is basically stable. If you conquer the world immediately, you may not be able to govern the world immediately. If you want to govern a country well, you must rely on a group of people.

Naturally, military commanders are not good enough. After all, the world still needs scholars to govern.

The establishment of imperial examinations and showing favors are undoubtedly the best ways to win over scholars. If used properly, these scholars will definitely be used by the emperor.

Thinking of this, he picked up his ink pen and commented on the memorial: "The subjects are based on the old ones of the Tang and Song Dynasties, but slightly changed the method of testing scholars, specializing in the Si Zi Shu and "Books of Changes", "Books", "Poetry"

", "Spring and Autumn", "Book of Rites" and "Book of Rites" examine the propositions of the Five Classics. The text is slightly imitated by the meaning of the Song Dynasty, but the tone of the ancients is the same.

The direct examination of all students is called the Township Examination. The Chinese-style examination is called the Juren Examination. The following year, the imperial examination is conducted by the capital master, called the Huizhen Examination. The Chinese-style Examination is conducted by the emperor himself in the court, and is called the Imperial Examination, also called the Palace Examination. It is divided into one and two.

, the top three are considered to be the next best in name. There are only three people in the top three, namely the top scholar, the second best, and the third best, and they are awarded Jinshi and the third place. Some people in the second top are given Jinshi origins. Some people in the top three are given the same background as Jinshi! "

After finishing writing, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and rubbed his sore arms, read it carefully again, and suddenly picked up his pen and wrote: "The world has just decided, and there is an urgent need for available talents. The examiners can decide whether to admit talents or even children in the provincial examination."

If the conditions are relaxed, the Tatars have occupied the Central Plains for a hundred years, culture and education have been completely destroyed, and I am opening the Enke. If only a few people are selected, it will definitely destroy the confidence of students all over the world in seeking knowledge and education, and it will be very detrimental to the country and the people. All officials should think twice before doing this!

"

Now that I had completely finished writing, I picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the tea soup, sat down again, and picked up the only remaining memorial. This memorial was sent by the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the main purpose of this memorial was to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to establish a household registration as soon as possible.

After reading it carefully several times, Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought. Household registration has been implemented since before the Qin Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, there were special officials to manage household registration. In the Tang and Song dynasties, household registration work became more rigorous and households began to be divided into different categories. In the Yuan Dynasty,

On the day of the rule, the classification of household registration categories was more detailed, including civilian households, military households, craftsmen households, and station households.

There are various household types such as households, medical households, salt households, kiln households, Confucian households, etc. In addition, there are also driving households, tenant households, etc. Originally, these Yuan Dynasty had established complete cartography. Zhu Yuanzhang replaced the Yuan Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty and continued to use the previous dynasty's

That is, since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there have been years of wars and chaos, the people have been dispersed, and the field registers and household registers have been destroyed.

The weapons and fires have disappeared; or they are completely unrecognizable, seriously inaccurate, and cannot be relied upon. "One household should be used by dozens of households." Households and land are the two pillars that all dynasties relied on for survival. Land requires labor to develop.

Farming. The Ministry of Household Affairs does not control the household registration and does not know the population, affairs and assets, so it cannot understand the basic national conditions.

, there was no way to collect taxes and levies, and the country quickly fell into paralysis. Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to this, and ordered many times in Yingtian for Li Shan to carry out detailed adjustments to the "registration and household registration" of Jiangnan in order to master it. It was only at that time that

The situation was unstable, so systematic statistics were only conducted on the corresponding days and surrounding locations.

Note: In order to reflect Zhu Yuanzhang's diligence, the figures in the memorial above are specifically used from the records of the eighteenth year of Hongwu. Please forgive me!

Zhu Yuanzhang was one of the most diligent emperors in Chinese history. He was never afraid to increase his workload. From the time he ascended the throne to his death, he hardly took a day off. In his posthumous edict, he said: "Thirty-year-old, worry and hard work

, and worked hard every day." According to historical records, from September 14th to 21st in the 18th year of Hongwu (13), within eight days, Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed and approved a total of 1,660 memorials and notes from internal and external officials.

pieces

, 3,391 pieces of state affairs were handled, and on average, more than 200 memorials and notes were reviewed and more than 400 pieces of state affairs were handled every day. Every time I see this record, I have to admire this emperor, no matter what he did

After taking the throne, he killed ministers and was so inhumane, but with this diligence, he was the first emperor in ancient and modern times! In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely an admirable emperor!
