Zhu Zaiyao almost suspected that he had heard it wrong.

This made Zhu Zaiyao surprised and even deposed the eight-legged essay...

If the eight-legged essays are deposed, then how to start a vocational school in the future is not a joke?

He finally understood why Yafu didn't make this suggestion with him. This was really big. If it weren't for the time being, it would be really hard to come up with this.

It’s really not fun to depose the eight-legged essay.

Chen Rong said calmly and calmly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, when you want the new policy to be smooth, you must understand one thing: who is Your Majesty's friend and who is Your Majesty's enemy. You must know that the most benefit of these eight-legged essays are the eight-legged essays. However, good eight-legged essays does not mean that he is strong in other aspects. Once the eight-legged essays are deposed, what will happen? People who wrote good articles in the past instantly became the last among scholars. If others are used to select scholars, those newly promoted juren and Jinshi will inevitably be attacked by the Shilin. If these people become officials, what will they do? Will they join those who are on the eight-legged essays and gold medals? "

"They will be grateful to Your Majesty and this new policy. If there is no Your Majesty and no New Policy, perhaps their career will have no hope. These people are the cornerstone of the new policy in the future. If they have always relied on the Cabinet alone, how can they stand up for the new policy? Therefore, only by allowing a group of unsuccessful scholars to be on the list of the list and with more people's support, Your Majesty will truly have reliance."

Zhu Zaiyao frowned. He could understand Chen Rong's words. Deposing the eight-legged essay to recruit scholars was equivalent to letting all scholars start over again. The Shilin would inevitably attack frantically. This is understandable. After all, this is their old interest.

But what about the new highs? Those down-and-out scholars who were not yet successful can take this opportunity to be named on the list and honor their ancestors. These people... how can they be looked down upon and how can they be laughed at by others? This is equivalent to completely breaking the scholars up two groups, the original students and some students who have won the most powerful opposition to the new policy will inevitably point their heads to another part of Zeng Guangsheng, as well as students, and even those children who are not very good at writing eight-legged essays.

Originally, these scholars at the bottom had little hope. They really didn't see hope and had already gone to other businesses. So they supported the new policy, but they had no right to do so, and their right to speak was in the hands of those scholars who were proficient in the eight-legged essays. Therefore, they did not oppose the new policy, but they would not stand up and support it.

But now it is different. Once the eight-legged scholars are deposed, it is equivalent to giving these scholars from the bottom to a new hope. People always have no benefits to get up early. I am afraid that when the time comes, without any supervision, these people will jump out without hesitation. Even if someone breaks their legs, they will vent their anger with the court without hesitation.

After thinking deeply in his mind, Zhu Zaiyao took a deep breath and said, "But, even so, the newly promoted Jinshi and Juren are still a minority after all, this..."

"Then increase the number of admissions for the juveniles." Chen Rong saw Zhu Zaiyao's hesitation, and suddenly felt a glimmer of hope in her heart, and then said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, when Emperor Taizu founded the country, the world was devastated and there were not many scholars, so Emperor Taizu directly took scholars from the Imperial College. A student from the Imperial College could become a minister overnight. By the time of Emperor Wen, there were more and more scholars, but they were still unable to replace all officials. Therefore, once someone passed the imperial examination, he could directly award the official position. But later, more and more scholars were. Now the number of students has reached more than 100,000, but in three years, only a hundred Jinshi were selected for one imperial examination, and only a few thousand were selected for one imperial examination. In fact, did Your Majesty think that one imperial examination would admit a hundred Jinshi, thousands of Jinshi, and another Zeng Guangju, which could admit tens of thousands of people at a time."

"Ten Thousands!" Zhu Zaiyao was stunned for a moment, obviously feeling that Chen Rong's words were shocking, and said, "Isn't this... a joke? This... is absolutely absolutely impossible. Where can the imperial court have so many official positions? Even if there are, how can the imperial court afford it?"

Chen Rong was obviously prepared for Zhu Zaiyao's doubts, and said with a smile: "In fact, Lu State also opened a vocational rank to recruit scholars. They recruited a lot of scholars every year. Your Majesty, in fact, Zeng Guangjuren may not necessarily be an official. These people can be civil servants, etc. There are six ranks in each county, and all of them need to be managed by officials. When they arrive at the prefect and the governor, almost all civil servants are hired by officials themselves, and these people become officials of officials. But if Your Majesty sets all these departments into departments and then sets up the chief of officials in this department, and allows them to be the last official of the ninth rank? Anyway, even if the court does not appoint and remove the chief of officials, local officials will recruit themselves. In fact, this is just to take the right to recruit the court. Once the court comes, the court can use this to resettle a large number of scholars. What's wrong with this?"

Chen Rong said this, smiled and continued, "Your Majesty, if these people have an official position, although they are from the ninth rank, they are only able to achieve this with the new policy today. When they go to various prefectures and counties, will they not actively promote the imperial decree?"

Zhu Zaiyao still had his worries and couldn't help but say, "They are willing to be this last official?"

Zhu Zaiyao's doubts are understandable. In most people's perceptions, scholars are arrogant. Some people are unwilling to go to the county to be the county magistrate or chief clerk after the exam.

Chen Rong said confidently: "If it is a wealthy person at home or a very good academic career, he will definitely not want to go there. But Your Majesty forgot that the students have just said that in the Ming Dynasty, there are more and more scholars. They have knowledge and have all studied. However, many people have no hope of career and their lives are not good. There is a saying among the people that there are poor scholars. Many people, for the sake of livelihood, have to go to a accounting for people, and some even have to go to a teaching hall, and some even have to go to a church.
