Zhu Biao's Admiration
Examination Hall, Inner Hall.
Zhu Biao's honest and gentle face was filled with shock.
"I didn't expect that there would be so many drawbacks in the future imperial examination system.”
The imperial examination system was born in the Sui Dynasty, about a thousand years ago.
The Sui, Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties all used it.
However, he did not expect that when the imperial examination system came to the Ming Dynasty, it would cause serious acclimatized problems.
The disadvantages are greater than the advantages.
There might even be the disaster of destroying a country.
Just as Tidas had said.
The economy of the lower class determined the structure of the upper class.
During the feudal era, the country's financial revenue was taken from the people. If the taxes of the people were not enough to support the group of imperial scholars and scholars above, it would not be enough to support the country.
Then, the country's system would collapse.
The country would also be finished.
If Tidas had not told him.
Who would have thought that under the imperial examination system, there would be a disaster for the country.
Who would have thought that under the imperial examination system, a mere scholar could destroy a country?
He carefully examined Tidas's point of view.
It is not advisable to choose a scholar with eight-legged writing.
There was a huge problem with the imperial examination system.
Then, how should he choose the right talents for the country?
Zhu Biao frowned.
He pondered hard.
The sunlight pierced into the inner hall like a faint golden thread and scattered on Tidas's clothes.
He sipped his tea elegantly.
He sighed in his heart.
The imperial examination was meant to select talents for the country.
The Ming Dynasty distorted the imperial examination and used the eight-part essay to select scholars. It imprisoned the thinking of scholars and brought about a series of negative effects.
The country and the people were greatly affected.
It was not until 1905 that the officials of the imperial court realized that the imperial examination system was not suitable for economic development and could not meet the needs of the country to select talents. Therefore, they stopped the imperial examination and promoted schools to practice learning.
The Qing government established a three-level system for primary schools, secondary schools, and higher schools.
The modern school system replaced the imperial examination system that had existed for more than a thousand years.
The new schools were different from the imperial examinations. Most of them focused on cultivating specialized talents.
This allowed the country to select real talents.
Zhu Biao frowned and thought hard for a long time.
His slightly round face scrunched up.
How should they select talents for the country?
The corner of his eye landed on Tidas.
Tidas could see the signs.
Calculating the disadvantages of the imperial examination system of eight-part essay selection.
Then, he definitely had a way!
As the saying goes, the one who tied the bell must untie it.
The question was raised by Tidas.
Then Tidas should have a solution!
Zhu Biao's burning gaze landed on Tidas as he leaned forward.
"Sir."
Tidas raised his eyes and suddenly saw a round face. The hand holding the teacup in his hand shook slightly, and the tea in the cup swayed. He leaned back without changing his expression and asked,
"Please speak, Your Highness."
"Sir is extremely intelligent and resourceful, and can see the signs. Since Sir can speculate on the problems that have appeared in the imperial examination system that has been passed down for more than a thousand years, then Sir must know how to select talents for the country from the imperial examination, right?”
Zhu Biao flattered Tidas and then saw the dagger.
Tidas held the teacup and stood up.
He looked into the distance with his back facing Zhu Biao.
At this moment, Zhu Biao felt that Tidas's figure was abnormally majestic. He heard Tidas say,
"It's very simple."
Simple?
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly.
Mister was indeed Mister.
He could think of a way that ordinary people could not think of.
Although he was well-read.
But it was still far from enough.
"As expected of Mister. Mister's great talent is admirable.”
Zhu Biao sighed in his heart and then became serious.
"Please enlighten me."
Tidas took a sip of tea, his pitch-black eyes calm.
"You only need to ask the scholars in the world who will increase the agricultural production of the people and improve the country's economy. If any of them can answer, then hire them.”
Zhu Biao was deep in thought.
Increase the agricultural production of the people.
improve the national economy
These were the foundations of the country.
Raising the agricultural production of the people was not a problem for the people to fill their stomachs. The state's tax collection was also not a problem. Even if the imperial examination system produced more imperial scholars, as long as the agricultural production of the people was sufficient, all of this would not be a problem.
However…
How could he increase the agricultural production of the people?
How could he improve the country's economy?
Zhu Biao was confused.
If I ask you these questions, will I seem too stupid?
Why don't I go back and ask my father and the great scholars?
They definitely knew how to increase the agricultural production of the people and improve the country's economy.
Tidas continued,
"The people selected by the eight-legged selection can be clearly distinguished at once.”
"It's useless to know how to write eight-part essays."
"The key is to be able to do agriculture and economics.”
"Agriculture is the source of food and clothing for humans."
"The foundation of survival."
" The primary condition for all production."
"As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people."
"If the commoners can't even provide for their food and clothing, then everything else is just empty talk.”
"The country's economy is also very important.”
"Only with a rich economy can we engage in science and technology, culture, national defense, manufacturing, and so on.”
"The national economy is crucial to the development of the country.”
Didn't Zhu Biao want to select talents for the country?
This was very simple.
As long as someone could answer these two questions.
Regardless of his academic qualifications or background, he had no problem in theory. The next step was to see his practical ability.
If they could not increase agricultural production.
It could not improve the country's economy.
In that case, he would directly pass.
Then, he would select a new batch of talents and use them for the country.
Anyway, Zhu Biao was the Crown Prince.
Zhu Yuanzhang still dotes on him.
No matter what Zhu Biao did, it would not be a problem.
Tidas's words made Zhu Biao feel enlightened.
Although there were still many things he didn't understand.
However, he had benefited a lot from Tidas.
"This trip was not in vain."
"Imperial Father is right. As long as you experience more things, you can increase your knowledge and experience.”
" The content that Teacher taught."
"The drawbacks of the imperial examination system."
"The drawbacks of the eight-part system."
"The Emperor's check and balance."
"The formation of parties, the struggle between parties, and so on.”
"If I ascend the throne in the future, what I learned today will definitely benefit me for the rest of my life!”
Zhu Biao thought.
At this moment, his admiration for Tidas had already reached the point of prostrating himself on the ground.
In his opinion.
Tidas was very knowledgeable.
The breadth of one's horizons.
His knowledge was extraordinary.
He had seen so many great scholars, scholars, and scholars of the Imperial Academy, or even the ambitious talents praised by his father, but none of them could compare to Tidas.
And Tidas was still so young.
It was truly amazing.
"I have benefited greatly from what you have taught me today. If not for your teachings, I would not have known that the imperial examination system and the eight-legged essay selection system had the drawbacks of subjugation.”
"Mister's actions today are undoubtedly an act to save the nation.”
"Originally, Sir could have chosen not to tell the bid, but Sir still said it.”
"On behalf of Imperial Father, on behalf of Great Ming, I sincerely thank Sir!”
Zhu Biao bowed heavily to Tidas.
This bow was for the people.
It was for Da Ming!
For the sake of the country!
Then, Zhu Biao bid farewell to Tidas and hurriedly left the examination hall.
He wanted to tell Zhu Yuanzhang about the drawbacks of the imperial examination and the eight-part essay.
