Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang below, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes understood the second step of supervision, Yan Changqing continued to write on the blackboard and said:
"The third step of supervision is to jointly build a hospital to divert favors and further weaken the influence."
Then Yan Changqing turned his head, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang below, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes and further explained:
"As I have said before, the reason why the phenomenon of 'integration of government and business' occurred is because those merchants and gentry established academies to provide low-cost or even free subsidies for poor students to complete their studies and become officials."
"So those academy students, whether it's because of interests, gratitude in their hearts, or other factors."
"After I become an official, I will look at this kindness and repay those businessmen and powerful formations to a certain extent."
"Those merchants and gentry can use this method to express favors to those academy students, and then the court can actually use the same method to exert favors to those academy students.
"Of course, I don't mean that the imperial court should follow the example of private merchants and gentry and build a large number of academies. At present, the Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue cannot support such educational expenditures.
"What I mean is that I just want the imperial court to occupy a righteous position in establishing academies among those academies applied for by private merchants and gentry."
Having said this, Yan Changqing said with a faint smile:
"For example, I feel the desire to educate with the sincerity of the merchants in the Lishu Academy and the beds of the wealthy gentry.
"And I understand the huge amount of money spent by businessmen and gentry in applying for a college, and I also understand the needs of students! 朊r
"So in order to reduce the burden on those merchants and tycoons applying to open academies, and to create a better learning environment and conditions for students all over the world."
"The imperial court decided to work together with the private merchants and gentry who applied to establish the academy to jointly invest in the establishment of the academy."
"Of course, the court does not need to give any money, nor does it need to give any special treatment or discounts. It only needs to give some less valuable materials to the private academies for free."
"For example, the imperial court decided to provide each academy with 10,000 pieces of chalk for free every year to support the academy's daily teaching."
"At the same time, the imperial court also gives each of the academy students a pen, ink, paper and inkstone every year to support the study of the 17 academy students."
"And the cost of the chalk, I have introduced it to you a long time ago."
"It's just a penny a piece. If the production scale and quantity are further expanded, the cost can be further reduced."
"So even if we provide each academy with 10,000 pieces of chalk for free every year, it won't cost much."
"Similarly, even if each academy student is given a set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones for the beginning of school, it won't cost much.
"After all, it is a free pen, ink, paper and inkstone given by the imperial court, so the quality requirements must not be too high. Just ordinary low-grade pen, ink, paper and inkstone will be enough."
"In addition, this is only given free of charge once a year and is infrequent, so the imperial court's education expenses will not be too large."
"But through these expenditures, it is clear to the academy students that they are not just enjoying the kindness of the merchants and gentry who applied for the academy, provided low-cost subsidies, or helped them complete their studies for free."
"They are also still enjoying the favor given to them by the imperial court!!!"
"Perhaps the kindness extended by the imperial court is not valuable compared to those businessmen and wealthy gentry.
"However, no matter whether this kindness is valuable or not, as long as it represents the presence of the imperial court in the academy."
"Then, it will inevitably divert some students' gratitude to those merchants and gentry, and in disguise, weaken the favor that those merchants and gentry exert on the college students.
"At the same time, the imperial court can also use these expenditures and sponsorships to transform the private academies applied for by merchants and gentry into semi-official academies jointly established by the imperial court and merchants and gentry!"
"We have the great honor of jointly establishing an academy."
"In the future, it will not be easy for those merchants and gentry to ask the student officials to help them with their affairs by establishing academies, providing low-cost subsidies, or even free subsidies for poor students to complete their studies and become officials."
"After all, in addition to the contributions of merchants and gentry, those academies also had contributions from the imperial court."
"If those student officials want to repay the merchants and gentry for their training and support, then do they also have to repay the imperial court for their training and support?!!"
"You must know that the teaching materials they use, as well as chalk, and the first set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones every year, are all provided by the imperial court for free.
"Perhaps the court's kindness to them is not enough for them to stand firmly on the side of the country's court."
"But the existence of the favor of the imperial court can more or less make those who are not willing to stand on the side of the merchant gentry unswervingly.
"And as long as this can be achieved, it will be worth it to the court."
Having said this, Yan Changqing paused again and gave Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes a moment to digest, absorb and understand. At the same time, he took another sip of tea to moisten his throat.
After a while, Prince Zhu Biao, who had digested, absorbed, and understood what Yan Changqing said, raised his head, looked at Yan Changqing on the podium, and said thoughtfully:
"Mr. Yan, do you want to borrow a chicken to lay eggs?!"
Yan Changqing's eyes fell on Prince Zhu Biao and couldn't help but praise:
"His Royal Highness, you are indeed smart."
"I really want to borrow a chicken to lay eggs!!!"
Borrowing chickens to lay eggs, the chickens refer to the merchants and gentry, and the eggs refer to the academy students.
With the current human, material, and financial resources of the imperial court, it is impossible to establish so many academies at the same time to educate and train students.
But the imperial court does not have such human, material and financial resources, which does not mean that those merchants and gentry also do not have such human, material and financial resources!!!
By taking back the initiative in education, we will review private applications for academies and actively control the number of academies established by merchants and gentry.
Then, by dividing the academies into different schools by age, the students in the academies were branded with multiple academies' identity factions, and then the interests of different factions disputed.
At the same time, the imperial court firmly controlled the establishment of the top-level [universities] and some [higher schools] to prevent merchants and gentry from forming a complete training chain for academy students and officials, and to eliminate educational monopoly.
Then, through review, compilation, and unified teaching materials, teaching content that is beneficial to the country and the court will be added.
At the same time, we used inducements to allow those merchants and gentry to apply for academies to use teaching materials reviewed, compiled, and unified by the imperial court, further weakening the ideological influence of those merchants and gentry on the students of those academies.
Finally, the imperial court tried to reduce the burden on merchants and gentry and create a better learning environment and conditions for academy students.
Sponsor some teaching materials to the academy for free, and forcefully obtain the righteous status of co-founding the academy with those merchants and gentry.
In this way, he can gain part of the gratitude of the academy students and divert the kindness shown to those academy students by the merchants and gentry.
And the academies that were originally solely owned by private merchants and gentry were forcibly transformed into semi-official academies jointly established by the imperial government and private merchants and gentry.
After such a complete set of things, those merchants and gentry wanted to apply for the establishment of academies to cultivate scholars who were close to them and who could be their spokespersons for their interests.
I wouldn't say it's just a dream, but it's basically not very possible.
It is even possible that the student officials who will be trained in the end will be those who are interested in the country's imperial court.
After all, those students will use teaching materials reviewed, compiled and unified by the national court starting from [elementary school] in the future.
At the same time, those students have also received favors from the national court, and the national court also has the honor of jointly establishing the academy, plus the ideological education of the students in the years when they enter [university].
After those students graduate from college, it is not too difficult to become a student official who is interested in the country's court.
Through the academies sponsored by merchants and gentry, students who aspired to the country's imperial court were eventually cultivated. This was Yan Changqing's "borrowed chicken to lay an egg."
After Prince Zhu Biao and Yan Changqing said the words "borrowing chickens to lay eggs", Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes thought about it and understood the meaning.
Then King Chu Zhu Zhen frowned slightly, looked at Yan Changqing on the podium, raised his hand and asked:
"What if those merchants and gentry are unwilling to accept free support from the court under the guise of being considerate of the court and willing to save money for the court?!!"
"In this case, wouldn't the imperial court be unable to occupy the great honor of jointly establishing the academy?!"
After wondering what Yan Changqing meant by "borrowing chickens to lay eggs", Chu King Zhu Zhen immediately understood the process of "borrowing chickens to lay eggs".
The most important step is the final step of occupying the right to jointly establish the academy.
Because only by occupying the right to jointly establish the academy, the imperial court could forcibly snatch half of it from those merchants and gentry, or in other words, share half of the gratitude of the academy students.
Before Yan Changqing could answer, the King of Qin Zhu Xiang on the other side replied with a domineering look:
"They can't take what the court won't give you!"
"They can't refuse what the imperial court wants to give!!"
"What the imperial court wants, they have to give it to them!!!"
On the other side, Jin Wang Zhu Fan also said with authority:
"The imperial court is willing to support some teaching materials for free to reduce the burden on the academy and students. This is a good thing for both the academy and the students.
"Even if they want to refuse themselves, who are they qualified to refuse on behalf of those students?!!"
"How can those students agree to those merchants and gentry refusing on their behalf?!!"
"If they forcibly refuse on behalf of those students, they will only push those students into the arms of the national court!!!"
King Yan Zhu Di, who was sitting on the same side, also said with a sneer:
"No matter whether those merchants and gentry are willing to accept free support from the court, how can they ever have the right to refuse?!!"
"Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness!"
"There is no room for them to say no!"
After Qin King Zhu Xi, Jin King Zhu Fan, and Yan King Zhu Di finished speaking, Yan Changqing looked at Chu King Zhu Zhen and said:
"It's probably like what His Highness the King of Qin, His Highness the King of Jin, and His Highness the King of Yan said. I wonder if His Highness the King of Chu still has doubts?!"
King Chu Zhu Zhen shook his head, indicating that he had no doubts.
Yan Changqing nodded and continued:
“By taking back the leading power in education and implementing three steps of supervision, we can basically solve the problem that merchants and gentry expect through ‘merchants train officials.
The issue of the integration of government and business by officials protecting merchants. "
"As for the issue of party struggle among regional townships, this can be slowly solved through three aspects."
"First, focus on strengthening cultural education in the north and try to raise the general cultural and educational level in the north to roughly the same level as in the south as soon as possible."
“For example, when setting up a college, the southern provinces can only establish one [university] and [higher education] affiliated with the national court.
"As for the northern provinces, they can establish three [universities] and [high schools] affiliated with the national court."
"With the imperial court artificially and vigorously tilting educational resources, the cultural and educational level in the north will naturally improve rapidly.
"However, this move will easily attract criticism from southern scholars and accuse the court of injustice."
"But this is nothing. If the southern scholars feel that the imperial court gives preferential treatment to the northern scholars, they can move to the north, and then they can also enjoy the benefits of the northern scholars.
"Finally, if you talk about the righteousness of the family and the country and the unity of the north and the south, you can basically block the criticism from the southern scholars."
“The second is to strengthen the economic, cultural and personnel integration and exchanges between the north and the south.
"For example, through various court policies, the fields in the south were moved northward."
"As mentioned just now, establishing three [University 317] and [High School] in the north that are affiliated with the national court is one of them."
"If southern scholars find it difficult to enroll in [higher education] and [university] in their own province, then they can consider enrolling in [higher education] and [university] in northern provinces."
“For a long time to come, the assessment of [higher education] and [university] in northern provinces will indeed be easier than the assessment of [higher education] and [university] in southern provinces.
“Another example is the construction of concrete highways, which shorten the distance and time from the south to the north and from the north to the south.
"Let the scholars, civil servants, and common people in the south easily go to the north, and let the ugly scholars, civil servants, and common people in the north also go to the south easily."
"When the scholars, officials, and common people in the north and south can easily and freely choose to settle in the south or the north, then they will have a free will for their regional identity.
However, it will gradually become bearish. "
"Because they can be either 'southerners' or 'northerners'."
"Third, the number of people admitted to the imperial examinations in the north and south should be balanced."
"At the time of admission, by default, the admission quota will be 50% for the north and the south respectively."
"Suppose the imperial court wants to admit ten candidates, and among the candidates from the south there are five at the top level, three at the second level, and two at the top level; but among the candidates from the north there are only two at the top level and three at the top level,
Five Yichen. "
"Then the final candidates admitted by the imperial court are five top-level candidates from the south, two top-level candidates from the north, and three top-level candidates from the north. The rest will not be admitted."
"This is a default unspoken rule in imperial examination admissions and is not explicitly stipulated."
"But School Disciple can secretly release this news, and at the same time, after moving the Southern Juzi's household registration to the north, he can also release the news that he can participate in the imperial examination as a Northern Juzi.
go. "
"In this way, after hearing the news, the southern candidates only need to compare the identities of the candidates on the list and confirm that the northern and southern candidates indeed account for 50% each."
"There should be some southern candidates who feel that the reason why they failed is because the competition in southern examinations is too fierce."
"At that time, in order to get a chance to be on the list, it is very likely that he will move north and become a northern candidate."
"In this way, the decline in the south and the rise in the north can further improve the educational and cultural level in the north."
"In the end, the cultural and educational levels in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty gradually became roughly on the same level as time went by."
"Of course, this move will also easily lead to protests from the southern government."
"The solution is the same as above. As long as the court doesn't admit it openly, just find some excuses such as family and country justice and the court treating everyone equally."
"Finally, if there are any southern officials who think the court is unfair, just let them move north."
"Anyway, the imperial court treats everyone equally. As long as he moves to the north, he can enjoy the treatment of a son in the north."
