Chapter 653: The Reason Why There Are Many Civil Servants In Jiangsu And Zhejiang, And The Silent Pl
Yan Changqing on the podium glanced at Prince Zhu Biao and continued:
"As for the problem of excessive investment costs, if it is a single businessman, then unless it is a wealthy businessman, it is indeed unable to afford such a high cost investment.
"But what if all the great businessmen and tycoons in a region unite?!!"
"A group of great businessmen and tycoons in a region, each of whom will bear a portion, jointly fund the establishment of such an academy and support such students."
“So, will such a cost investment be so high that we cannot afford it?!!”
"Even after becoming famous in the academy, you can still ask those children whose abilities are not enough to get admitted to the academy."
"But the family has some assets, and they want to get in touch with the big businessmen and tycoons like them. The small businessmen and small gentry want to charge a pricey sum of money to give their children a place to go to school."
"In this way, the investment costs of building academies and supporting poor students can be further distributed to those small businessmen and small gentry!!!"
"Even in the end, maybe you can still make a small profit!!!"
Having said this, Yan Changqing paused and then continued:
"For example, the merchants and gentry in eastern Zhejiang and Jiangnan, as well as the great merchants in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, behave like this now.
"Three, five, or a dozen local great merchants and gentry who have business dealings with each other, or merchants and gentry within a chamber of commerce, unite with each other to establish academies."
"Then we spend a lot of money to invite famous teachers who are proficient in imperial examinations to teach, and then from among the many children, we select good ones who are suitable for studying and send them to the academy to study."
"Let even children from the poorest families be able to study and study in the academies they established until they pass the imperial examination and become officials."
"Before this, these children who were selected to study in academies did not need to consider their own life issues. They only needed to study and take exams until they became officials.
"This is also one of the important reasons why there are the largest number of officials from eastern Zhejiang and Jiangnan in the court today!!!"
I heard Yan Changqing say that the "integration of government and business" led to another "subjugation" of the Ming Dynasty.
Nowadays, the great businessmen and tycoons in eastern Zhejiang, Jiangnan, and the southeastern coastal areas, as well as the great businessmen in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, have begun to establish academies, fund students, and train officials who are close to him. After that, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately gritted his teeth in anger.
[Collusion between government and business?!! Integration of government and business?!!]
【Good! Good!! Good!!!】
【It’s really good!!!】
[In the future, we will completely cancel and ban all private schools!!!]
[Let’s see how you can cultivate officials and integrate government and business!!!]
Zhu Yuanzhang's idea is very simple. Since the great shangjia, the great gentry and the great shanghui privately run academies and cultivate scholars and officials who are close to them, this will lead to the "integration of government and business"
Then he issued an order prohibiting the Great Shangjia, the Great Gentlemen, and the Great Shanghui from setting up private academies. Wouldn’t this problem be solved?!!
[Who would have thought that setting up academies, teaching and educating people, and subsidizing poor students to complete their studies at low or even free prices, which has been a good deed since ancient times, would one day turn out to be wrong?!!]
[However, the phenomenon of "integration of government and business" mentioned by Mr. Yan cannot be ignored!!!]
[However, it would not be appropriate to rashly issue an order prohibiting private merchants, tycoons, and chambers of commerce from running private academies and subsidizing poor students to study and study!!!]
[First of all, I don’t know how many poor students will lose the opportunity to continue studying!!!]
[Secondly, if such an order is issued, it will inevitably cause an uproar among students all over the world, and even strong resistance and dissatisfaction!!!]
[If one thing is not handled properly, Ming Dynasty will probably add many more unnecessary bandits!!!]
Prince Zhu Biao looked at the words "Establish an academy," "Teach and educate people," "Support students," and "Integrate government and business" written on his rice paper.
He frowned, thinking about how to curb the development of "integration of government and business" while allowing poor students to continue studying without causing strong resistance and dissatisfaction among students all over the world.
[Hmph, those merchants, gentry, and chambers of commerce can set up academies, teach and educate people, and train students and officials who are close to them, then the imperial court can also set up academies, teach and educate people, and train students and officials who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty!!!]
[As long as the number of student officials trained by academies established by the imperial court is far greater than those cultivated by academies established by merchants, gentry, and chambers of commerce!!!]
[Then the officials who are close to merchants in the court will always be a minority and exist individually!!!]
[In this way, the development of the "integration of government and business" phenomenon can be curbed!!!]
King Qin Zhu Xi's eyes were slightly cold, and he immediately thought of a way to curb the "integration of government and business".
To put it bluntly, those merchants, gentry, and chambers of commerce established a large number of academies and trained a large number of students to participate in the imperial examinations, thereby increasing the probability that the scholars they trained would pass the examinations and become officials.
Then the imperial court would also build more academies, train more students, and lower the probability of those students trained by merchants, gentry, and chambers of commerce to pass the exams and then become officials.
[If the imperial court took the same approach as those merchants, gentry, and chambers of commerce, building more academies and cultivating more students. 】
[Not to mention the human, material and financial resources involved, whether the imperial court's current fiscal revenue can support it. 】
[Even if the imperial court’s current fiscal revenue can support this additional education expenditure. 】
[But maybe the academies eventually established by the imperial court and the number of students they trained would not be as good as those established by merchants, gentry, and chambers of commerce and the number of students they trained!!!]
[After all, the financial resources of a single merchant, gentry, and chamber of commerce, or even of multiple merchants, gentry, and chambers of commerce combined, cannot be compared to that of the imperial court!!!]
[But if all the merchants, gentry, and chambers of commerce in the world unite, then their financial resources will be greater than the court!!!]
[After all, according to what Mr. Yan said, in the national economy of the Ming Dynasty, the non-state-owned economy occupies the main body of the national economy!!!]
[In other words, the financial resources owned by merchants, gentry, and chambers of commerce are actually more than those of the imperial court!!!]
Only then did Jin King Zhu Fan realize that the state-owned economy did not occupy the main body of the national economy, which was a dangerous thing for the country.
The same goes for establishing academies and subsidizing students, but the number of academies established and the number of students subsidized can be supported by the imperial fiscal revenue.
It is very likely that it cannot compare with the number of academies established by all the merchants, gentry, and chambers of commerce in the world combined, and the number of students supported!!!
This means that the imperial court cannot occupy a dominant position in the education industry!!!
The consequence of being unable to occupy a dominant position in education is the spread of the "integration of government and business"!!!
【The leadership of education!!!】
【Whoever trains him will be close to and loyal to him!!!】
[The army is like this, the generals are like this, and Tian Wenzhou is like this!!!]
[In the past, my father and I have firmly grasped the leadership of the army, so the Ming army is close to us and loyal to us!!!]
[But it ignores the teaching power of education, which must also be firmly grasped in our hands!!!]
[Only the scholars and civil servants trained by the Ming Dynasty, the court, and ourselves will be close to us and loyal to us, and will they work for us, the court, the Ming Dynasty, and the great interests of the people of the world. Considering the righteousness!!!]
[Instead of harming the great interests and righteousness of us, the imperial court, the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the world for the selfish interests of ourselves and other people such as merchants!!!]
A flash of understanding flashed in the eyes of King Yan Zhu Di.
If he only valued and cared about military power before, now he also realizes the importance of education!!!
He has to grasp military power and education with both hands, and he has to be strong with both hands!!!
[Generally speaking, if Mr. Yan talks about "Dragon Slaying Technique" once, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed once!!!]
[Unexpectedly, before the "Dragon Slaying Technique" was finished this time, the Ming Dynasty scored twice and once again "subsided"!!!]
[But it seems that the last time, in the last "Dragon Slaying Technique" lecture, "Tai Ming also died twice after ten "Dragon Slaying" lectures!!!"
[I wonder if this record will be broken today?!!]
[But probably not, after all, including the "subjugation" caused by the "integration of government and business", the Ming Dynasty has already been "subjected" for the eighth time!!!]
[No matter how much the Ming Dynasty stretches its boundaries, there must always be a limit, right?!!]
Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu thought with a strange expression.
[No wonder there are currently the most ministers in the court from eastern Zhejiang and Jiangnan. I used to think this was the reason why Confucianism was the most developed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!!!]
[Looking at it now, it might as well be said to be the reason why Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the most prosperous!!!]
[Because the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are rich and have rich merchants, gentry, and chambers of commerce, they can build a large number of academies and train a large number of students!!!]
[Furthermore, a large number of scholars from Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas passed the examinations of being promoted to civil servants and Jinshi, and eventually became officials and entered the court!!!]
King Chu Zhu Zhen held his chin with one hand, his face thoughtful. (Ma Zhao) [Is it so difficult to govern a country?!!]
[If you are not careful, you may be in danger of "subjugating your country"!!!]
[If Mr. Yan had not reminded me, I am afraid that none of us would have noticed that those merchants, gentry, and chambers of commerce openly set up education, teach and educate people, and provide low-cost and free subsidies to poor students. 】
[In fact, they are cultivating officials who are close to them and belong to them, and then influence the affairs of the government!!!]
[Such a silent, yet extremely effective terrorist strategy once successful, do you really not know that those merchants, tycoons, and chambers of commerce came up with it themselves?!!]
[Or are you watching other civil servants and wise men plotting secretly behind the backs of those merchants, gentry, and chambers of commerce?!! Negative]
[But whether it is the plans of the merchants, gentry, and chambers of commerce themselves, or there are other civil servants and wise men secretly scheming behind the merchants, gentry, and chambers of commerce, their hearts are really dirty!!!]
King Zhu Shu of Qi took a deep breath, feeling that he had underestimated those merchants, gentry, chambers of commerce, or those civil servants and wise men in the past.
Except for Yan Changqing, none of them noticed the pit behind setting up academies, teaching and educating people, and providing low-cost or even free subsidies to poor students!!!
