Chapter 684: political reform

"Split up Bowen Academy?"
Pang Yukun and the officials were greatly surprised.
Xiao Ming nodded, "Since we captured Wei, Yan, and Liang, scholars from the three places flocked to the school. The number of scholars trying to enter the academy has increased several times. The original intention of Bowen Academy was In order to provide talents for the original feudal state, now including the scholars of Da Yu, this college is not enough.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming continued: "There is a specialization in the art industry. The Bowen Academy brings together the best of many families, and it is not conducive to the secrecy of secret technology."
Pang Yukun nodded. He said: "The emperor, in general, the country now lacks effective governance of Bowen College and various schools."
When it comes to this, Fiji and the others can't speak up. Compared to Pang Yukun, they don't know much about these things.
"Pang Shoufu is right. I'm still the king of Qi who will close the elementary school. It needs fewer talents. It doesn't matter if the Bowen Academy is casual. Now that the world is unified and there are many talents needed, this matter should be put on the agenda. The second item of the reform is the establishment of the Ministry of Culture and Education."
"The Ministry of Culture and Education?"
The officials talked a lot, but they were familiar with the book, this is the official office that controls confidentiality and issues the emperor's edict.
However, despite the discussion, there was no fierce opposition from officials this time. Since the last time Xiao Ming dismissed Yu Ming, the officials in the court knew that the emperor was determined to change the law.
This is the first item to cancel the people, farmers, industry and commerce, and now there is a second item.
Fiji did not object, but he needed to ask some questions clearly, so he said: "Does the emperor want to cancel the imperial examination?"
"The imperial examination does not need to be cancelled, but it has to be changed." Xiao Ming said, "After the establishment of the Ministry of Culture and Education, all schools in the country will be governed. This reform of the imperial examination will also be implemented by the Ministry of Culture and Education."
After studying at Bowen College for a period of time, officials have actually been mentally prepared for this. In the future, the imperial examinations will no longer test the Four Books and Five Classics, but will be replaced by all kinds of peculiar knowledge.
After clearing his throat, Xiao Ming continued: "The position of the chief official of this province of culture and education is called Xuezheng, and Qingzhou, the province of culture and education will be responsible for the leadership of other provinces of culture and education."
"Fu?" This time not only Fiji was shocked, even Pang Yukun was also a little surprised. This was something they had never heard of.
"The emperor, what is this mansion?" Pang Yukun asked.
Xiao Ming smiled lightly, and he said: "This is the third item of the reform, to withdraw the vassal and build a mansion, and to strengthen the court's governance of the states and counties."
Although Xiao Ming has captured the Wei Di, Yan Di, Liang Di and other areas, the people in these places still retain the living habits of the vassal state, just like Qin Shi Huang's destruction of the Six Kingdoms.
This is naturally unbearable for Xiao Ming. His purpose in killing these vassals is to establish a centralized power. How can he tolerate the people in these areas claiming to be from Wei and Yan.
Therefore, under consideration, he decided to withdraw the feudal clan and build a government. The former Wei State was set as Jinling Prefecture, and Jinling Prefecture governed the 13 Weidi prefectures, and then the state governed the counties.
In the old land of Yan State, Bozhou was established, with Bozhou as the center to govern the ten states of Yan, followed by Kaifeng, Chang'an, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and finally his Qingzhou.
In this way, he divided the land occupied in front of him into seven houses, which greatly strengthened the management of the place.
After speaking out his thoughts, Xiao Ming looked at the officials and waited for their opinions.
At this time, both Pang Yukun and Fiji became silent. This time Xiao Ming's reforms were too great.
Pang Yukun said, "The lower officials know that the emperor is eager to reform, but the north has not yet stabilized. If it is implemented rashly, not only will it not be effective, but it will cause confusion."
"I have considered this a long time ago, so this reform is not implemented in all parts of the Great Yu country. I also know that Aiqing is suspicious of the reform. As the saying goes, black cats and white cats catch mice are good cats. For you Seeing is believing to prove that the reform is correct, so I decided to take the lead in implementing the reform in Qingzhou Prefecture. The success or failure depends only on the rise and fall of Qingzhou Prefecture."
There are a lot of things, because the country of Da Yu has not been beaten by advanced civilization. Now officials lack enthusiasm for reforms. The lack of external factors makes it difficult for a country to change independently.
In Europe, if the invasion of the whip of God had not opened a door for Europe, Europe would not seek reforms to get out of the Middle Ages.
Similarly, if it were not for the advanced civilization brought about by the invasion of the West, the feudal dynasty would continue to cycle.
"Great Yu country needs enemies." Sometimes Xiao Ming suddenly thought so.
He gradually understood 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 Kingdom of Great Yu has an enemy, and everyone agrees with this enemy. This is the Golden Horde.
It's just that the Golden Horde is a country with a lower level of civilization than the Great Chongqing. If the Golden Horde is replaced by a country with a higher level of civilization than the Great Chongqing, the current Great Chongqing will inevitably reform and follow suit.
Of course, an invader with a higher level of civilization than the Great Yu has already arrived. This is what Xiao Ming is about to catch. He is about to invite the Dutch army stationed in Ryukyu to visit Qingzhou.
He believes this will give those officials who are opposed to the reform have a clear understanding.
While he was thinking about it, Pang Yukun said loudly: "The emperor is wise, and the lower officials think it is appropriate to implement the reform in the six states."
Fiji and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Xiao Ming would make a big deal. They said at the same time: "The emperor is wise."
Looking at the officials, Xiao Ming nodded in satisfaction. This time his plan was implemented smoothly.
In fact, his purpose this time is to set up a pilot area~EbookFREE.me~, which is similar to the steps of contemporary reform and opening up. First, draw some areas for pilot projects.
If it succeeds, it will be simpler for the reform to be implemented in other places, and at the same time, the regions where the reform first becomes richer can also drive the development of other places.
And because the area of ​​reform is small, this is conducive to key supervision, and at the same time this place must have a basis for reform.
After thinking about it, his former state closure is no more suitable. If the reform is successful, he will implement it in Youzhou Mansion, Jinling Mansion and other coastal areas.
"The law reform involves a lot of government orders, so I won't talk about it anymore." Xiao Ming motioned to Qian Dafu at this time.
Taking a step forward, Qian Dafu shouted: "If you have something to do early, you will retreat if nothing happens."
The officials chanted long live when they heard the words. They dare not say much now. Today, the emperor throws out too many unthinkable things, and they need to go back and discuss it carefully.
After the dynasty was over, Xiao Ming and Qian Dafu left the side entrance of the Yeezheng Hall. They did not return to the palace, but were going to check the production of the railroad tracks.
