I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The next day, Wu Changqing took time to meet Qian Qianyi.

When he saw Qian Qianyi for the first time, Wu Changqing looked at him and found that this guy had a bright face and looked very energetic.

"Master Qian, do you have any good health secrets in your collection?"

Wu Changqing teased him.

Qian Qianyi was embarrassed when he heard the words. He did not expect that a person in power with an army of more than 100,000 people would ask such non-serious topics.

"There's no secret. It's nothing more than getting up early and going to bed early, and having a reasonable meal. With Qian's heart and body fat, everything is more open."

Qian Qianyi said vaguely.

"I've read your book. Since you also support new-style education, let's temporarily become a servant of the Ministry of Rites. The main job is to use your influence to gradually phase out old-style education and replace it with new-style education."

For now, the imperial examinations are still orthodox and mainstream, and the university is just a niche. There are only more than 1,500 students in the entire university, which is only a handful compared to the hundreds of thousands of scholars across the country who study the Four Books and Five Classics.

The imperial examination system that has lasted for thousands of years cannot be eliminated immediately because of its backwardness. That will inevitably cause an earthquake in the reading world and cause a large number of people whose interests have been damaged to resist.

When these scholars make trouble, it is much more troublesome than the common people. After all, they are all intellectuals, with flexible brains and many tricks.

Just a few words of agitation, and the common people are easily deceived and used as gunmen.

The process of elimination must be gradual and gentle, and must not cause social unrest.

And this requires a capable person to implement it. Wei Ziwen is obviously not acceptable. His prestige is too low, and those young and vigorous scholars will not accept him at all.

But Qian Qianyi is different. He used to be the leader of the Donglin Party, and he has a high prestige in the literati circle, and his articles are also very good.

It would be easier for him to come forward and write some articles to subtly guide the minds of those scholars and let them receive new education.

"I'm afraid this is not easy. After all, the imperial examination has been carried out for thousands of years."

Qian Qianyi's scalp was a little numb. He didn't expect Wu Changqing to be so radical. He wanted to abolish the traditional imperial examinations. This would cut off the future of countless scholars.

Just imagine, some people who have studied the Four Books and Five Classics for more than ten years and twenty years, waiting for the imperial examination to become an official, but the imperial court suddenly said that they would not take the imperial examination. Wouldn't that be a waste of people's hard work for decades? .

People who are not strong enough in their hearts will definitely not be able to withstand such a blow.

Suicide or rebellion, there is bound to be a lot of upheaval.

Qian Qianyi supports new-style education, but he has never thought of comprehensive reform. The educational model he envisaged was still dominated by imperial examinations, supplemented by new-style education.

He never thought that Wu Changqing would be so courageous that he wanted to completely abolish the imperial examination and eliminate the old-fashioned education.

With his knowledge, he has no confidence in the new education completely replacing the Four Books and Five Classics.

"Take your time, I don't want you to do it in one step, as long as you go in this direction, it will be good if you can complete it within three or five years."

Wu Changqing certainly knew how crazy his actions were, just like the sudden announcement in the 21st century that the college entrance examination and universities would be abolished.

This policy of ruining people's future will definitely damage the interests of many people and cause social unrest.

However, Wu Changqing had to do this. If the imperial examinations were not abolished, others would not see his determination to promote new education. Continuing to retain the imperial examination will waste countless scholars' time.

He has explained the importance of physical chemistry many times in the People's Daily, but there are only a few hundred people who come to apply for the college entrance examination in each issue.

Only when the idea of ​​those scholars taking the imperial examinations is completely broken, they will grit their teeth and learn new knowledge.

The more people who learn new knowledge, the greater the probability of producing talents.

There are hundreds of thousands of scholars across the country. This is a plate of great potential. Even if there are only one in a hundred talents, there are thousands of people.

"If you don't want to, I still have a position among the priests of the Ministry of Rites. You can choose it yourself."

Wu Changqing saw that this guy didn't dare to take on this task, so he gave another choice.

He also understands what he means very well. If you want to be a high-ranking official, you have to take on some heavy responsibilities and do some difficult work. If you want leisure, don't expect to enter the center of power.

The Minister of Rites is a high-ranking official of the third grade, and the next step is the Minister of Rites. He is an absolute high-ranking authority and the center of the court.

While the Ritual Officer is only a mid-level official position of the fifth grade, the ancestral priest is a leisurely position with little power. It’s not bad to use it for the elderly, but Qian Qianyi has spent so many days studying and writing books, not to find a position for the elderly, he still has ambitions.

If it wasn't for the purpose of becoming a high-ranking person, he would not need to become an official. The family's assets were enough for him to retire, and it would be no problem to marry a top-notch girl from Qinhuai River.

"I choose to face the difficulties, share the general's worries, and play the remaining role of my old bones."

Qian Qianyi chose the former without hesitation. He was stunned before, mainly because Wu Changqing's reform was too shocking.

However, no matter how much resistance to this reform, Qian Qianyi would choose to choose the position of Shilang. He knew that as long as he did this, then being promoted to Minister of Rites would be a 100% matter.

To be able to become a supreme minister again at the end of his life is enough to go down in history and let him die without regrets.

how many people are poor

In his lifetime, he would not be able to reach the position of Six Books. And he, now has a chance to get his hands on it for the second time.

He doesn't fight for this kind of position, some people fight for it.

"Master Qian still has this ambition, which is very valuable, so I can rest assured to hand over this burden to Master Qian. I hope that Master Qian can focus on this and stop meddling with those things of the Donglin Party. ."

Wu Changqing reminded him that he did not like his people to form parties.

After a party is formed, officials in that group tend to put the interests of the party first and the interests of the court last when doing things.

Whether it is the Donglin Party, or the Chu Party, the Qi Party and other groups, he will ban them one by one.

If there must be a party, there can only be one imperial party, a party with him as the core in everything.

"Xiaguan and the people from Donglin have long since ceased to have anything to do with him, and he is willing to be the general's solitary minister."

Qian Qianyi stated that this is equivalent to taking an oath of allegiance.

A person in his 60s who could be Wu Changqing's grandfather at his age, respected him in front of Wu Changqing. In order to be an official, he is also really hard enough, and he is comparable to that of Ruan Dacheng.
