"Many scholars who have no hope of taking the imperial examination will choose to become petty officials, serving as clerks, masters, etc. to officials. It can be considered a good personal job.
For these students who are learning new things, they always feel that what they are learning is not the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism, but the ingenious sexual techniques of heretical practices, which cannot be put on the stage.
Being able to let them work as minor officials is already very respectable to them, because some things really require professional talents like them to do it well.
However, now, none of them are willing to become petty officials, and they even explained the reasons in detail.
"You all have an annual salary of at least 200 taels of silver once you graduate?"
This time z. co m Zhang Si. Zhong Zhong thought about it and asked in surprise.
This income level is quite high. You should know that the annual income of ordinary seventh-grade officials is almost at this level. They can get at least this amount after graduation.
"Of course, we all rely on knowledge and skills to make a living. Building bridges, paving roads, and building houses and bridges is absolutely impossible without us. There are many places that need us in the entire Ming Dynasty. We still have to pay an annual salary of 200 taels. Seriously consider whether to go.¡±
Li Zhen nodded solemnly and replied.
"If this is the case, then there is really no point in becoming a petty official. The income of being a petty official in a year is actually very average, and it is difficult to increase."
Ba Zhong thought about it and nodded to express his understanding.
The income level of a small official is really average compared to today's Ming Dynasty. People in the Beijing and Tianjin areas work hard for a year and can earn dozens of taels of silver. This small official's income is almost This number is just that a small official has some small power in his hands. In addition, he is still an official after all, which can be regarded as a good status among the common people.
"That's it~"
"What about the graduates from other colleges, such as Daming Institute of Technology, Royal Institute of Technology, Mechanical College, and Textile College? Are they as popular as you and are they willing to work as petty officials?"
Li Dongyang thought for a while and asked quickly.
"They are also not willing to work as petty officials. After they graduate, major commercial banks, factories, workshops, etc. are all rushing to get them, and the treatment they offer is better than the last. How can they become petty officials? ."
"Anyway, among our new students, I haven't heard of anyone who works as a clerk. If he can be upright, why should he be a slave to the so-called scholars?"
¡°That¡¯s right, those traditional scholars are just like everyday people. Apart from being able to write some articles, they are useless. They don¡¯t even understand a lot of basic common sense. They often come to our school to cause trouble. I don¡¯t know what face they have.¡±
Wang Shiwen, Tang Jiwen, and Xu Yunpeng also followed suit.
Hearing what a few people said, the ministers present were a little confused. It was really infuriating to criticize traditional scholars like them.
Fortunately, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "Thank you classmates~"
After saying that, he left the place, and then he went to find more than a dozen students from the School of Engineering and asked them if they were willing to be petty officials. The results were the same.
No one wants to be a petty official at all. Petty officialdom has no appeal to them at all. They have no income, no future, and no status. No one wants to be a petty official. Official.
"It seems that you are right, Liu Jin. No one wants to be a minor official at all."
"But the court needs professional talents like them to handle affairs. Without them, many things cannot be done. If there are no clerks in the household department who can calculate accounts, the accounts will not be settled."
¡°Without anyone who understands construction engineering in the Ministry of Works, won¡¯t we just have to do random things in the future?¡±
Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s face was full of sorrow.
Traditional scholars clamored to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country every day, saying that what they learned was the way to govern the country. Now it seems that what they learned may not be of much use in running the country.
The so-called loyalty and filial piety to govern the country are just words. As for what loyalty and filial piety are, they only follow the script without any insights or breakthroughs of their own.
There are all ministries in the court, and these small officials and officials who are missing are missing. Many things cannot be done.
I hope these people will be officials?, they know almost nothing and can't do anything.
It is true that running a country cannot rely solely on these civil servants, military generals are also needed. Now it seems that these professional talents from all walks of life are also needed. Without them, it is impossible for this country to be governed well.
It is not good for the country to be close to these officials who have read the Four Books, Five Classics and Confucian classics. In addition to paying equal attention to civil and military affairs, more new talents should be attracted to participate in running the country.
However, the selection of court officials now relies on the imperial examination system. Prince Zhu Houzhao only promoted and appointed three minor officials, but he was strongly opposed by these civil servants.
Why are they opposed?
We are not worried that the current imperial examination system will completely shake the foundation of their Confucian civil servants' rule.
There is no thousand-year-old dynasty, only thousand-year-old Confucianism.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Emperor Hongzhi thought a lot, and also thought very far.
Things that I didn¡¯t think about before are slowly starting to come to mind now. The more I think about it, the more I feel that the Ming Emperor is actually not our old Zhu family at all, but the old Kong family. He has been their old Kong family for thousands of years. Home.
"This iron-clad Confucianism and flowing emperor have never changed from beginning to end. They have always been like this.
"Your Majesty~"
Zhida z.com Zhixiao. At this time, Cao Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, came to Emperor Hongzhi. This time everyone came to the School of Architecture and Engineering to see if they could recruit people from here to be minor officials.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading, there will be more exciting things to come!
Therefore, the Ministry of Industry also specially allocated a few places for minor officials, and went to the School of Architecture and Engineering to recruit people to see if anyone was willing to be a minor official.
"How about it?"
"Have you hired anyone?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Cao Yuan and asked.
¡°No, I haven¡¯t recruited anyone, and no one even came to ask.¡±
强牺 yuewenyuan.com 读牺。 Cao Yuan is helpless He shook his head and replied, "I really can't figure it out. Our Ministry of Works is recruiting junior staff, which is directly under the Ministry of Works. No one from the School of Architecture and Engineering came to ask. It's really confusing. .¡±
¡°It¡¯s just that we can¡¯t recruit anyone.¡±
Emperor Hongzhi already understood why he couldn't recruit anyone, so he said calmly.
¡°It shouldn¡¯t be, this is directly under the Ministry of Industry.¡±
This time z. com Zhang Si. Cao Yuan couldn't figure it out. This was a well-oiled yamen. Now the Ming Dynasty was building infrastructure everywhere, including roads, railways, reservoirs, dams, ports, bridges, etc. Hundreds of millions of taels of silver were spent on it every year.
The current Ministry of Industry is not the former Ministry of Industry. In the past, we were very poor. In the Ministry of Industry, it took 1 tael of silver to do something worth 10 taels of silver. It was very difficult and no one wanted to do it.
But now, there is a lot of money allocated by the imperial court, and there are plenty of jobs to be filled, and it is easy to do anything casually, but it is still difficult to recruit people. I really can¡¯t figure it out.
"If you can't figure it out, think about it slowly."
Emperor Hongzhi's words made Cao Yuan look innocent. Why did he make Emperor Hongzhi angry when he was so good?
Being spoken to in such a rude manner, I was completely confused.
Zhida z.com Zhixiao. "Let's go to Shuntianfu Urban Construction Bureau!"
Emperor Hongzhi left the School of Architectural Engineering and went straight to Zhu Houzhao's Shuntian Prefecture Urban Construction Bureau. He wanted to see what Zhu Houzhao was doing now and how he planned the urban construction of the capital.
Soon, everyone arrived at the Shuntian City Construction Bureau. Before they entered, Zhu Houzhao's voice came.
"Yes, yes, let's go to the land where the powerful people live and build roads there. They don't need this little land. I'll take care of it if anything happens!"
