Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Are some new schools converted into academies?"

    "I'm afraid you think the current scientific examination pressure is not high enough."

    When the ministers heard this, they couldn¡¯t help but complain in their hearts.

    To be honest, everyone feels that the competition in the current scientific examination is too great. There are a large number of children in each family taking the scientific examination, but only a few can stand out in the examination.

    Many officials¡¯ sons are already in their 40s and 50s and can¡¯t even pass the imperial examination, let alone the Jinshi. Everyone wishes that there would be fewer people studying in the old school, so that the pressure of competition would be smaller.

    You would rather turn part of the new school into an academy. Do you think it is run by your family?

    If you have the ability, you should pay to open it. If you pay to do it, no one will say a word about you at all. They will only praise you for your sincere intention to strengthen Confucianism.

    "Your Majesty, I also think that the development of the new school should be suppressed. The knowledge taught by the new school is all about heresy and strange tricks. If the new school flourishes, then the heresy will flourish, while the orthodox Confucianism will decline. If things go on like this, the branches will be strong and the branches weak, and the cart before the horse will be put before the horse.  The country, the country, and the country are in turmoil, and the people are in dire straits!"

    Another old-school official stood up and opened his mouth to savagely criticize the new learning. They talked about heresy, fancy tricks, and putting the cart before the horse. The country was in turmoil, the country was in turmoil, and the people were in dire straits.

    ??This damn thing immediately left countless ministers in the court speechless.

    Although it is said that everyone has read Confucianism and recognized the orthodox status of Confucianism, to criticize the new learning and say that the new learning is useless is obviously to pick up the bowl to eat and put down the bowl to curse.

    The role of new learning is obvious to all. Various machines emerge in endlessly, which greatly improves productivity, makes people's lives and travel easier, and makes Ming Dynasty richer and more powerful.

    Without new learning, even if you expand your territory and rely on traditional farming methods, how many acres of land can you cultivate?

    If you don¡¯t learn anything new, even if you work very hard to weave, how much can you weave in a day?

    Without new learning, even if you can walk again with two feet, how many miles can you walk in a day?

    This is the most annoying thing about these sour and rotten scholars. They almost closed their eyes and told lies. Do you think it was more than 20 years ago?

    At that time, everyone hadn¡¯t seen much of the use of Xinxue, nor had they felt much of its benefits and convenience. However, there were still many people who believed what you said.

    But now it is already the thirty-fifth year of Hongzhi, and the new learning of the Ming Dynasty has been developing for more than twenty years. Capitalism and the industrial revolution are developing rapidly.

    People have already enjoyed the benefits of the new learning. They have used cultivators and harvesters to cultivate land, looms and spinning machines to weave cloth, and travel by trains and cars, enjoying the benefits brought by the development of the new learning.

    You are still here just opening your mouth and talking nonsense.

    This made many old-school officials frown. Such nonsense was not only useless, it would only make more and more people side with the new school.

    ¡°What a bunch of mud that can¡¯t be helped!¡±

    Yang Tinghe cursed in his heart. Although he was an old-school official, he also knew the huge changes brought about by the new learning. The new learning had already penetrated into every aspect of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone from top to bottom was enjoying the benefits brought by the new learning.  Huge dividends to come.

    ????Who among the officials above the court does not have a factory or a business?

    Factory firms basically use a large number of machines to improve productivity, produce more products, and earn more profits.

    There are also the people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty. Their children study for free in the new school. After learning knowledge, they can find a good job. Can you study in the old school?

    "How difficult it is to get ahead in the old school, just ask your stupid son, don't you know?

    Among the 10,000 students of the old school, only a small number can be admitted to the imperial examination, Jinshi, and become officials. Ordinary families cannot support their sons to study in the old school until they are forty or fifty years old.

    Studying in the old school is very expensive, and it also requires a complete separation from work. If you don¡¯t pass the exam, you can only take it all the time. You can be in your thirties or forties casually. If you can pass the exam at the age of fifty, it is considered good. Many people will take the exam for a lifetime.  None of them could pass the examination.

    Even a great talent like Wen Zhengming could not pass the exam for a lifetime. Do you think your son is a genius?

    "I finally understand why Liu Jin doesn't like these people. He can't accomplish anything, and he ruins good things."

    Yang Tinghe understood why Liu Jin had been suppressing these rotten scholars.

    ? ?Because you can only talk and have no real talent or knowledge. If we really put people like you in high regard, I am afraid that Ming Dynasty will go back to more than 20 years ago.

    Emperor Hongzhi doesn¡¯t want to live the same miserable life anymore. He wants money but no money, he wants no confidence, and he is criticized both internally and externally. There is no point in being an emperor. It is not as comfortable as the life of these ministers.

    "My lordmy lord~"

    The other party didn't know how to answer for a moment. No matter who he said, it would offend others, and there would be no good fruit to eat. What's more, he could see now that this emperor was no longer the emperor before. To them,  The sour and rotten scholar is no longer as obedient as before.

    "Can't you tell me?"

    "Are you still saying that you dare not say anything?"

    Emperor Hongzhi looked at the other party and asked coldly.

    "snort!"

    "How many good days have we had in Ming Dynasty?"

    "Some people think that the current life is too comfortable, and they want to ruin the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty."

    Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly, stood up slowly, and glanced at the ministers.

    ¡°The Ming Dynasty of today will no longer be the Ming Dynasty of the past!¡±
