Ming Dynasty, capital, Forbidden City.

Zhu Youlang has been having fun these days.

The Ministry of Industry's investigation results have come out. Judging from the visits from various places, the Ming Dynasty's current industrial foundation is not very ideal, and it is almost impossible to carry out the industrial revolution.

However, Zhu Youlang's role in promoting physics and chemistry has gradually emerged.

At least from the moment, scholars have accepted these two basic sciences.

Of course, they can't accept it. Zhu Youlang is the rulemaker.

From the very beginning, Zhu Youlang clearly realized that if you want scholars to bow their heads, they have to hit the snake and hit seven inches.

Where is the seven inches of scholars in the Ming Dynasty? It is naturally the imperial examination.

After ten years of hard work, no one asked me about it, and I became famous all over the world.

The imperial examination is the ascending channel for scholars and their only hope for carp to jump over the dragon gate.

If you want to climb up, you must get the imperial examination results.

After passing the examinations of the county government and township hall, the elites among the elites can stand out.

Zhu Youlang has no intention of not being optimistic about these scholars. However, in the current situation of Daming, these scholars are no longer allowed to hold on to the eight-legged essays and slim down.

Even if what the saint says makes sense, you have to open your eyes to the world.

Since these scholars don’t want to change it themselves, Zhu Youlang forced them to make it happen.

Zhu Youlang promoted physics and chemistry in Imperial College and official schools at all levels. After gaining experience in testing waters, he directly issued a special examination for physics and chemistry at all levels.

The examination results are comprehensively considered together with the eight-legged essay to obtain rankings.

This is a complete move.

Almost everyone knows what it means to do so.

This is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as this policy was released, it was immediately opposed by the civil servants.

Zhu Youlang was mentally prepared for this.

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were even more pretentious than those of the Song Dynasty.

They simply want to stick to the incompleteness and keep their shortcomings in their lives and keep the saints in their saints' doctrines for generations.

Because of the things like benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, the things like monarch, minister, father and son are most in line with their interests.

But Zhu Youlang couldn't watch the Ming Dynasty as he was terminally ill, so he used the knife.

It can be said that on this point, there are naturally conflicts between the two sides.

Zhu Youlang didn't care about having conflicts with the civil servant class, because he knew very well that this battle was inevitable.

After judging through the history of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who works against the civil servants either has no good ending or fails in the end.

So these civil servants acted as usual and began to boycott Zhu Youlang's new policy.

But they did not realize that the difference between Zhu Youlang and the previous emperors was that Zhu Youlang was the hero of Liu Xiu who re-established the Ming Dynasty, and he held military power in his hands.

If Zhu Youlang's words are not important, then there are really few emperors who have weight in their words.

So Zhu Youlang directly pulled the ministers who deliberately blocked outside the Xihua Gate and cried to the court to the court outside the Meridian Gate.

The Jinyiwei is the best at doing this, and Wang Henian has long disliked these civil servants, so he took this opportunity to vent his feelings.

What's wrong with His Majesty the Emperor? It's the turn of these civil servants to talk.

It would be fine if they really did it for the country and country of the Ming Dynasty. But these guys were full of their own interests and had to act as hypocritical, which would be a bit disgusting.

The Jinyiwei stole the more than 100 civil servants who were causing trouble, and the court suddenly became silent.

Now they knew that when they were not easy to bully, they all closed their mouths very consciously.

Zhu Youlang's ears are purified and he can continue to implement his new policy.

In fact, the core of Zhu Youlang's new policy is to develop science and technology and liberate productivity.

But he knew that he could not take too much steps at once, so he used the method of promoting the discipline to take it step by step.

After completing the accumulation of industrial raw materials, it is time for a certain stage to explode.

Zhu Youlang is very confident about this.

The Ming Dynasty has a good foundation. As long as you can correct your attitude and identify the gap, you will definitely be able to get up.

In addition, there is another thing that makes Zhu Youlang worry, that is, the landlord class.

It can be said that land private ownership has led to the continuous intensification of land annexation.

This issue was not prominent when the court first started, but as more than a hundred years passed, this issue will become the main contradiction.

When farmers encounter natural disasters, they can only choose to sell their land to the landlords at a low price in order to survive in exchange for a bite.

Over time, the landlords' hands became more and more land, and farmers became tenants, and they could only eat in exchange for landlords' farming.

After a long time, these tenant farmers must be unbalanced.

When someone is interested in inciting him, there will be various uprisings.

This is very unfavorable to the rule of the dynasty.

It can be said that none of the dynasties have emerged from this vicious circle.

Zhu Youlang also knew this very well.

As half of the founding king, if he could not solve this problem well, his descendants would also be very difficult to deal with.

Zhu Youlang did not think about directly taking over the land to the court, which means that both farmers and landlords rented land from the court.

This is a one-time solution. However, this concept is too far beyond the cognition of this era, and Zhu Youlang feels that it may cause dissatisfaction in many places.

Zhu Youlang cannot afford this dissatisfaction for the time being, because it does not look like the civil servant class, but the entire Ming landlord class.

This is truly able to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule.

So Zhu Youlang decided to slow down.

The first step is to move the civil servant class first. When the civil servant class is completely completed, then start pilot projects in the local area.

For example, in Northern Zhili, the emperor can still control himself at his feet.

Even if there are really landlords who want to cause trouble, Zhu Youlang can control the situation as soon as possible.

If the surrounding area of ​​Gyeonggi proves that the effect is good and it is indeed feasible, then promote it.

Of course, promotion is not done in one step, but rather step by step.

At the beginning, it can be promoted in the north now, and then go south until the north slowly adapts.

In other words, Zhu Youlang needs to boil the frog in warm water.

The landlords in the south did not see their interests, so there would be no obvious resistance.

By the time they realized that the problem was not right and wanted to resist, it was too late.

If you don’t be a good person, you don’t know how to be a good person.

Zhu Youlang really didn't expect reform to be so difficult before.

Because any reform will affect the vital interests of many people, which will arouse opposition.

But Zhu Youlang knew that reform was inevitable. If the Ming Dynasty wanted to not follow the old path of other feudal dynasties, it would have to reform from top to bottom. Even if it was painful, it would have to be a knife.

Only when the reform is reasonable can the entire court and the entire country develop in a healthy direction and not decline.

Zhu Youlang is willing to reform, even if these vested interests are cursing behind their backs.

The Ming Dynasty now has to apply severe medicine.
