Chapter 497: Zhu Yuanzhang, Who Has Long Been Bribed [Please Subscribe, Please Subscribe]
Seeing that all the civil servants and censors who could not refute him turned to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang, Yan Changqing shook his head slightly.
He couldn't even refute, but he still wanted to convince Zhu Yuanzhang?!
Yan Changqing doesn’t know whether it is better to say that these civil servants and censors are naive or stupid?!
Such important matters as recruiting female agricultural students, and even allowing female agricultural students to represent Wanmin Agricultural College as officials in the government in the future.
If he hadn't greeted Zhu Yuanzhang in advance and obtained Zhu Yuanzhang's consent, would he have raised it directly at the New Year's Meeting?!
It’s definitely impossible!!!
It was only after he had greeted Zhu Yuanzhang in advance and obtained Zhu Yuanzhang's consent that he raised this matter at the New Year's Meeting today.
In other words, the matter of recruiting female agricultural students had already been discussed and agreed by Zhu Yuanzhang and Yan Changqing.
Now it's just a matter of raising it in public at the New Year's meeting and going through a process.
If Yan Changqing can win the debate with a group of civil servants and censors, so that they cannot refute, then Zhu Yuanzhang will finally agree to the matter.
If Yan Changqing failed to win the debate among the civil servants and censors, then Zhu Yuanzhang directly used his power as emperor to force the matter through!
In other words, no matter what the process is, the result is already determined.
At least in the Hongwu Dynasty, as long as it was something Zhu Yuanzhang truly agreed to and decided on, no minister17 could object.
Thinking of this, Yan Changqing raised his head slightly and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with his eyes:
[It’s Your Majesty’s turn to make the final decision!!!]
【Your Majesty accepted my benefits!!!】
【You can't just accept the benefits and stop working!!!】
Seeing the look in Yan Changqing's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.
He did receive the benefits from Yan Changqing, and the benefit Yan Changqing gave was the naming of sweet potatoes!!!
At first, Zhushu was not called Zhushu. At least when Yan Changqing and Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned it, Yan Changqing called it sweet potato.
But Yan Changqing asked Zhu Yuanzhang if he wanted to change the name of the sweet potato?!!
For example, change the name of sweet potato to Zhushu!!!
The Zhu of Zhushu is not only the Zhu of Zhu color, but also the Zhu of Zhu Yuanzhang, and the Zhu of the emperor of their Ming Dynasty Zhu family!!!
As long as the name sweet potato is simply changed to Zhushu.
Then the name of Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the old Zhu family, will inevitably be remembered in the history books, praised by the world, and famous for generations to come along with the sweet potato yield of at least thirty shi per mu!!!
It can be said that there is simply nothing that can be more easily remembered in history and praised by the world than changing the name of sweet potato.
Faced with such an eternal reputation that can be easily obtained, even Zhu Yuanzhang had to be moved by it.
After all, when he reached Zhu Yuanzhang's status, in addition to making the Ming Empire more prosperous, stronger and lasting, there was only a posthumous reputation worth pursuing.
So Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to Yan Changqing's deal, or proposal.
At the annual meeting, Yan Changqing publicly named the sweet potatoes with a yield of more than 30 shi per mu as Zhushu, in exchange for Zhu Yuanzhang agreeing to let Wanmin Agricultural College recruit female agricultural students.
Thinking of this, looking at the civil servants and censors who were persuading him, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands to calm down the civil servants and censors again, and then he said:
"Okay, no more words."
"Saint Shennong discovered and cultivated sweet potatoes with a yield of more than 30 shi per mu and corn with a yield of more than 8 shi per mu. He made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty and brought great virtue to the people!!!"
"Such Saint University Karmic Merit, in exchange for Wanmin Agricultural College to recruit two more agricultural students from each county in Da Mingxia, can be said to be insignificant!!!"
"As for the two additional agricultural students recruited, whether they are male or female, this is an internal matter of Wanmin Agricultural College, and you don't need to say more!!!"
"As early as when Wanmin Agricultural College was awarded, I had already said that the recruitment and evaluation of all department chairs, department lecturers, and students of Wanmin Agricultural College would be reviewed and determined by the deputy dean and dean of the Agricultural College."
"Submit to the emperor for preview and backup, without going through the selection of the court officials or other departments!!!"
"In other words, you are not allowed to interfere in the recruitment of agricultural students at Wanmin Agricultural College!!!"
"As for what the ministers said about women entering the court and becoming officials, even if female agricultural students from Wanmin Agricultural College enter the court and become officials, it only represents Wanmin Agricultural College going to court."
"Responsible only to the emperor, only to Wanmin Agricultural College, and go to court without discussing government affairs other than Wanmin Agricultural College!!!"
"Furthermore, even if Wanmin Agricultural College recruits female agricultural students, it is possible that the female students will live in the lecturers and department heads of Fangmin Agricultural College."
"You must know that Wanmin Agricultural College recruits three agricultural students from each county in the world, two of whom are male and one female. In other words, the number of male agricultural students is twice that of female agricultural students!!!"
"To put it another way, male agricultural students are twice as likely as female agricultural students to serve as lecturers and department heads at Wanmin Agricultural College!!!"
"Under such circumstances, if female agricultural students can still serve as lecturers and department heads of Wanmin Agricultural College, then we think there are only two reasons."
"Either those male agricultural students are too useless and their abilities are not as good as those of female agricultural students!!!"
“I can’t even think of a way to promote the reform and development of the current planting industry, forestry, animal husbandry, aquaculture, and textile industry to further improve the output and efficiency of the planting industry, forestry, animal husbandry, aquaculture, and textile industry!! !”
"Either the female agricultural students are too outstanding and outstanding, and they perform even better among the already outstanding male agricultural students!!!"
"It has played a more important role in the current reform and development of planting, forestry, animal husbandry, aquaculture, and textile industries!!!"
"Please tell me, gentlemen, if female agricultural students can serve as lecturers and department heads of Wanmin Agricultural College, will the reason be the former or the latter?!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes swept across all the civil servants and censors, and he asked questions unceremoniously.
As for all the civil servants and censors, they were all speechless at this moment.
What do they say about this?!!
Talk about a hammer!!!
Regardless of the former or the latter, they actually express the same meaning.
That is because the male agricultural students themselves are not outstanding enough, so the female agricultural students were given the positions of lecturers and department heads of Wanmin Agricultural College!!!
And can this be admitted?!!
For a group of civil servants and censors, it must be impossible to admit it!!!
Because the reason why they do not allow female agricultural students to become officials is that female agricultural students are inferior to male agricultural students.
But then, the problem arises again, if female agricultural students are really inferior to male agricultural students.
So even if they recruit female agricultural students, why should they worry that female agricultural students will get the positions of lecturers and department heads of Wanmin Agricultural College!!!
At this point, a logical endless loop has been reached, so all the civil servants and censors have nothing to say.
"Shennong once said something to us before, that is, 'It doesn't matter whether it's a black cat or a white cat, the one that catches mice is a good cat'!!!"
"We think this sentence makes sense!!!"
"For us, we don't care whether the agricultural students who serve as lecturers, department heads, or even vice presidents of the 3.83 million agricultural college are male or female."
"We only know that the agricultural students who can serve as lecturers and department heads of Wanmin Agricultural College must be the ones with the best abilities and performance among the many agricultural students!"
"It will definitely play an important role in the reform and development of Ming Dynasty's planting, forestry, animal husbandry, aquaculture, and textile industries!!"
"And this is a contribution to the Ming Dynasty and virtue to the people!!!"
"As for those who have contributed to the Ming Dynasty and are virtuous to the people, regardless of whether they are male or female, we believe that they are qualified and capable to serve as lecturers, department heads, and even vice presidents of Wanmin Agricultural College! !!”
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the chamberlain on the side and ordered:
"Come here, please make a decree. Saint Shennong will offer sweet potatoes and corn with a large Karmic Merit. From now on, Wanmin Agricultural College can recruit two boys and one girl from all counties in the world, a total of three agricultural students!!!
"As long as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn are not exhausted in the Ming Dynasty and throughout the world, then [Wanmin Agricultural College] will not cut the quota for recruiting agricultural students! It will not be reduced! It will not be withdrawn!!"
"This matter has also been written into the ancestral precepts of the Emperor Ming, and has been supplemented as the first article of the ancestral precepts of the Emperor Ming, and will be announced to all parts of the world from now on!!!"
As Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, the matter of Wanmin Agricultural College's expansion of enrollment of agricultural students and the recruitment of female agricultural students was completely settled.
At least in Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu Dynasty, nothing would change.
