Chapter 885: Zhu Youlang's thinking asks for a monthly ticket!)
In fact, Zhu Youlang has been thinking about one question seriously, that is, what is the key to maintaining the continuation of a dynasty.
Is it a powerful and invincible army?
Or is it an inexhaustible wealth?
Or are the talents that are constantly emerging?
Or is it a complete political system?
Or is it the monarch’s personal quality and strength?
In fact, it is difficult to generalize.
But as for Zhu Youlang personally, he thinks that a complete political system is the most important.
The reason is actually very simple.
The other items are based on a complete political system.
It’s like building a house, if you don’t even build a foundation, it will be useless.
Of course, there is another important thing, that is economy and military.
Economics, politics and military are closely linked, and they are indispensable.
The absence of either side may lead to serious lameness, resulting in inevitable dynasty changes.
To better continue the Ming Dynasty, a complete political system is indispensable.
The system of the three provinces and six ministries of the Ming Dynasty cabinet has actually been very perfect. The only thing that is lacking is how to exert their abilities so as not to allow people with corpses to occupy such a high position.
In this way, when the emperor appears to be mediocre, he can rely on the system to save many things for the Ming Dynasty.
It would be strange if even the ministers were just scattering, and they would not have any problems with the emperor.
In fact, if you want to screen capable officials, you have to use your skills in the imperial examinations. Not only does it take Confucian classics, but also subjects such as physics and chemistry. In this way, Zhu Youlang's previous promotion of these subjects will be meaningful and will not be left alone.
Of course, there is another point, that is, the inspection after selecting officials.
Anyone who loses constraints will become unimaginable, and the same is true for officials.
The Ming Dynasty had a very complete Beijing inspection system. The core of this system was to find out the officials who were vaguely idled. Through the assessment, officials who were awarded excellent grades could be promoted. Obtaining an evaluable one that could maintain the original level. As for those officials with extremely poor performance, they would be demoted or even dismissed.
This process is very complete, but various problems will arise during the actual operation.
If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand. After all, the trend of protecting officials and officials in the later stages is prevalent. As long as you find the right person, you can maintain the assessment to the middle and upper level. Then the blood-changing of the political system of the Ming Dynasty will become a piece of paper.
This is why officials' abilities dropped sharply in the late Ming Dynasty and spent their energy on flattery. They were all a group of rats who were scattered, so how could they have a good ability?
Therefore, Zhu Youlang decided to make a certain degree of improvement to the Beijing inspection system to ensure that the Ming Dynasty political system had extremely strong self-repair ability.
If you want to reform, you must naturally prescribe the right medicine.
Zhu Youlang is very clear about the crux of the problem.
That is the so-called system of disciples and old officials.
Everyone is a scholar, and their relationships are intricate.
It is very likely that you are his teacher and your student. Even if you don’t have such direct relationships, you will become familiar with them as long as you have been recommended by an acquaintance.
In this case, it is impossible to make objective assessments.
So if you want to change this situation, you have to select a group of people to do this assessment.
This group of people cannot have any interest in the existing civil servant class, so that they can not be affected at all and make relatively safe judgments.
Just how to choose this group of people.
In this era where everything is inferior and only those with high school education should all be pursuing the imperial examination, right?
It is not easy to strip away the imperial examination system and select a series of reliable people.
Unless Zhu Youlang can give these people the benefits equivalent to civil servants in the imperial examination.
Zhu Youlang thought about it carefully and might be able to bypass the scientific examination and set up an examination system.
The core of this system is to select judicial talents and replace those censors who only know how to speak out in the future.
Zhu Youlang himself has no favoritism for these censors.
In order to keep their name in history, these people just talk nonsense and ignore the truth of the matter.
In their opinion, it is enough as long as they can show their importance.
Such people are full of selfishness and cannot be used at all.
But these people can still gain a good reputation in history, which is really ridiculous.
In Zhu Youlang's view, as an inspector, in addition to not being able to wear a pair of pants with vested interests and having too much connection, the most important thing is that he must have the ability and have his own insights when encountering things.
Of course, this cannot be achieved by a flash of personal inspiration, but requires a complete training system.
Only in this way can we continuously provide talents to the court, so that we will not have an embarrassing situation of breaking down one day in the future.
Therefore, Zhu Youlang decided to let the Ministry of Personnel come forward to build a new yamen.
This yamen is directly responsible for Zhu Youlang and is selected by a special examination.
You have to think about a complete set of processes so that you can handle every detail well.
Zhu Youlang already had a rough idea, but if he wanted to put it into practice completely, he had to make repeated conclusions.
This is definitely not something that can be decided by just a slap in your head. You must be very cautious.
Only with supervision and supervision can the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty have some concerns in the future and will not act short-sighted behaviors that are only done by big rats.
It is very difficult for the Ming Dynasty to reach today, and it must not be dumbfounded by others.
Zhu Youlang also wanted to discuss this with the prince in detail.
Now the prince has come to the capital from Nanjing and accepts Zhu Youlang's orders every day.
Zhu Youlang felt that it would be better to teach Zhu Youlang, the father, than to let the so-called great scholars teach the prince how to be the emperor.
If you really let those corrupt scholars teach you, you will easily turn the prince off. This is something that Zhu Youlang doesn't want to see anyway.
Brothers fighting tigers, father and son fight.
A hundred years later, the throne will be passed to the hands of the crown prince Zhu Cixuan no matter what.
Zhu Youlang can say something to Zhu Cixuan for some things that cannot be said to others.
Zhu Cixuan is quite smart too. Zhu Cixuan should have understood some of the words Zhu Youlang said last time.
Of course, Zhu Youlang has not yet thought of a good way to hand over the imperial power.
This has been an unsolvable problem in all dynasties.
The so-called inheritance system of eldest sons only solves the problem of security of imperial power handover, but it is not helpful for how to choose a capable king.
If it's all about luck, the bet will be too big.
