The short videos I watched from all dynasties

Chapter 219: The Rise of Culture and Education

[This case is not a cheating in the imperial examination. The chief examiner Liu Sanwu seems to be quite wronged? Then is it that the others are forming a clique for personal gain, thinking of testing Zhu before his death?

I don't quite agree with this view. First of all, we have to look at when this happened. Was it in the 30th year of Hongwu? Did Zhu allow people to form cliques and engage in self-interest? The grass on the graves of people who form cliques and engage in self-interest is two meters high. I'm talking about Hu Huaiyong, the last prime minister of your feudal dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang labeled the latter group of people as the Hu Party and the Blue Party... This is a bit too much... In my opinion, they are just a group of hypocritical people who think they are upholding justice. They only want to gain some fame and reputation through this incident, and have never considered the balance between the north and the south that Zhu Yuanzhang is worried about. 】

＜Try and you will die [dog head]＞

＜Do you believe in writers? Haha, I don’t even know how I got cheated…＞

＜These people turned a deaf ear to the emperor's words and deliberately showed him bad test papers. They deserved to die＞

＜Hypocrisy! I heard that in the later Ming Dynasty, people were eager to be beaten with a stick in the court, so that they could get a good reputation [covering face]＞

＜Even if they are not forming a clique for personal gain, this group of people is too abominable... Zhu Yuanzhang is really old and too merciful. He did not kill all of their clans. If it was more than a decade after the Hongwu reign, Zhu Yuanzhang would have killed them all＞

[Song Renzong Zhao Zhen: Hmm...Isn't that too violent?]

[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Wouldn't it be great if we didn't kill the literati like the Song Dynasty? We still have to kill those who need to be killed]

[Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che: Tsk, you dare to use the emperor as a raft to gain fame]

[Wang Anshi in the third year of Song Xining: So we are all feudal dynasties?]

[Sima Guang in the third year of Song Xining: Videos on the light screen are becoming less and less popular among literati…? ]

[Dongfang Shuo in the fifth year of Han Yuanshou: The Song Dynasty has been so good to you. I can’t believe how comfortable you are living]

...

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and said, "Yes! That's right! How can it be impossible? They are just testing me. How dark are the hearts of scholars? Don't I know?!"

All the civil servants present were trembling with fear.

That's not the case. That's not the case. Your Majesty, you have to believe us. Guangmu is right. How dare we? Test you? That's because you think you've lived too long.

...

[Next, let's rule out the idea of ​​Zhu Yuanzhang winning over the hearts of the people, winning over the northerners, and warning the southern civil service group? In this imperial examination, were the northerners' knowledge really that poor?

You have to know that it is the 30th year of Hongwu. This class of students was born in the Ming Dynasty, grew up in the Ming Dynasty, and was trained in the Daxing School in the early Ming Dynasty. What does it have to do with the Yuan Dynasty? The new students are people who have read "Da Gao" and "Yu Zhi" since childhood. Old Zhu has no need to worry that the northerners are concerned about the Yuan Dynasty.

Moreover, after Lan Yu pacified Nahachu in Liaodong in the 20th year of Hongwu and defeated Yuan Shundi's grandson Toghon Temur at Buyuerhai in the 21st year of Hongwu, the remaining Yuan forces no longer posed a threat to the Ming border. So, did Zhu Yuanzhang need to go to great lengths to win over the people?

The civil service group in the early Ming Dynasty had not yet reached the level of demonization as rumored on the Internet. They did not have the ability to fight against the emperor now...

Therefore, those examiners who did not admit students from the north, and those who did not admit them after reviewing the exams, were just slapping Zhu in the face, telling you clearly that the education level in the Ming Dynasty was not as high as that in the Yuan Dynasty...】

＜The influence of southern literati has always existed and cannot be eliminated. In the end, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by them＞

＜Zhu Yunwen's skills are really bad, no wonder the northerners are all with the Prince of Yan [covering face]＞

＜That’s right, at that time, the candidates for the imperial examinations were a new batch of Confucian scholars, who were quite different from the old Yuan officials in the early Ming Dynasty [eating melon]＞

＜Actually, this is not an easy problem to solve. The ancients valued their hometowns. If officials all came from one place, they would definitely protect that place. Wouldn’t this form a chain of interests?＞

＜So those people are courting their own death. If Old Zhu were younger and had fewer concerns, these people would be the ones to be killed along with their entire clan＞

[Kublai Khan: Hmm…]

[Ming Hongwu 29th year Zhu Di: What new tricks did my nephew do?]

[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin: The villagers should pay attention to it]

[Qin Shi Huangdi Ying Zheng: Officials were controlled by local families, factional struggles arose in the court, and the south, as the economic center, could not collect taxes. This must be carefully studied]

...

【At this time, we have to speak up for Lao Zhu. The North has experienced many years of war and social instability, and the economy and culture have also been severely damaged.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very worried about this. According to the Records of Ming History, the emperor said, "The land is divided into north and south, but the people have the same mind. Virtue can transform gentlemen, and power can control villains, not depending on the land."

Lao Zhu treats the north and south equally.

According to the History of Ming Dynasty, "Initially, due to the chaos in the north, few people knew how to study, so 366 people including Lin Boyun, a student of the Imperial Academy, were sent to teach in various counties. Later, the teaching was extended to other provinces, and those who were young and capable of writing were selected to serve as teachers and other officials."

Zhu was worried that the official schools in the north would have no teachers to teach, and the students' studies would be abandoned. So he selected 366 students from the Imperial Academy to teach in the north. Later, he ordered the Imperial Censorate and the Ministry of Personnel to select from the Imperial Academy and the southern school officials, and also select some Confucian scholars with good learning and conduct from the people, regardless of the number of places. After being selected, the family was exempted from taxes and corvée, and this was used to encourage the school officials and Confucian scholars to go to the north to teach and change the backward cultural education there.

As a result, the shortage of teachers in the north was temporarily solved.

Later, someone said to Lao Zhu: "There are no books to read in schools in the north."

Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty to distribute books to schools in the north, which is called "sending books to the countryside" in modern terms. When books were out of stock, Emperor Hongwu sent people to Fujian to purchase them and then send them to the north.

Now that we have come to this point, let me say a little more. Not only in the north, but also in remote areas, Hongwu Emperor was very concerned about culture and education, and he constantly issued orders to urge the military and guard agencies stationed in the border areas and local government offices to establish official schools. Some very remote border areas and ethnic minority areas also began to develop local official education.

Emperor Hongwu also said: "The purpose of setting up schools in the border areas is to guide them to be good and exempt them from tribute." This shows how much he valued their culture and education.

Emperor Hongwu was really great. He made me cry. He did a lot of practical things to bridge the gap between the north and the south. He was much better than some officials who only cared about their own interests...】

＜Wow, this place really should be called Hongwu Emperor!!!＞

＜Old Zhu has been working hard to balance the north and the south and contribute to the restoration and development of cultural and educational undertakings in various places＞

＜Oh, I feel sorry for Lao Zhu after seeing this [covering face] Those who completely disregard the future of the country and only care about their own interests should be killed＞

＜Our current teaching activities also include the Love Library…＞

＜Old Zhu has been poor and down and out, so he knows how important it is to study＞

[Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che: Sending books to the countryside? That’s a good idea! Unfortunately, printing technology is still under research…]

[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Hahahaha!!! I understand!!!]

[Du Ruhui in the third year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty: Teaching and sending books to the countryside are both great virtues]

[Zhang Juzheng, the seventh year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty: The education created by our great ancestor should be continued by our generation]

[Ming Chengzu Zhu Di: Hongwu Emperor!!!]

[Ming Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao: Long live our ancestors! ! ! ]

[Emperor Jiajing of Ming Dynasty Zhu Houcong: Taizu is a man with great ambitions! ! ! ]

...

Many students praised Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang on the screen. Of course, scholars love books the most. They were moved to see that an emperor in later generations was so concerned about culture and education.

Han Dynasty Yuanshou Year 5 and Year 3

Liu Che asked Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai: "I also want to do this, is it feasible?"

Zhuang Qingzhai first bowed to Liu Che who was sitting on the throne, and then said: "Your Majesty's intention is a blessing for the Han Dynasty. I also think that official schools can be expanded, but in the end, we cannot avoid the problem of technology..."

Liu Che did not listen carefully to the rest of the words. He was just symbolically asking for the prime minister's opinion. What he wanted to do had not failed to achieve the result yet.

"Don't worry about the technical issues. I recently got a strange book that contains this method, but the craftsmen still need to experiment a few more times."

So the two of them discussed the expansion again.

After Zhuang Qingzhai left, Liu Che said to himself, "It's time for Wei Qing and the others to come back."
