Chapter 149 The Model B Scroll, Driving the Trend ([-]rd update)
The change in Zhu Guozhen's face was also seen in Miao Changqi's eyes.
Similarly, the drastic change in his expression did not escape the other party's eyes.
The impact was too great, even a little unacceptable, and they all felt something behind it, that is, the impact brought about by some changes in the scientific examination system and content since the 32nd year of Yuanxi.
If the changes that started in Yuanxi's 32nd year were only gradual, then from last year to this year's changes after the new emperor ascended the throne, it can be seen that this change is still accelerating.
The classics and righteousness are still very important and are still the foundation, but the imperial court is consciously adjusting to make the classics and righteousness the foundation, but the content is increasingly combined with current affairs, and then forms a pattern that determines the universe through policy and theory.
What about the next subject?
Both Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi saw the worry and worry in each other's eyes. Qingtan Academy is planning for a rainy day, and this step is so decisive and bold.
What Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi can see, Wang Yongguang can see even more.
It can be said that he was the one who felt the impact most intuitively this time.
Qi Yongtai didn't shy away from him at all, just in front of him, Han Jing and Feng Ziying exchanged ideas on the rules and regulations and some content requirements set up in this round of debate contest, and he could even feel that the other party was still explaining for himself sometimes. Yang Sichang was also delighted to hear it.
Naturally, Wang Yongguang could also guess Qi Yongtai's intentions.
Everyone tacitly aimed at Qiu Wei and Chun Wei in the next subject, how to achieve better results, and now although the imperial court intends to change, it will still encounter many oppositions from all sides.
How can it be so easy to change?Scholars have been suffering for decades, and this is what they are fighting for, one subject after another, year after year, but now you say you want to reform?What should they do?
Yuanxi's reforms after 32 years were also gradual, and they also encountered a lot of criticism and resistance. However, under the authority of the Supreme Emperor for decades, they finally advanced.
But now Xinhuang Yuji, many people have already started plotting to return to the original pattern.
Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi went north to give lectures, didn't they just want to promote the retrogression of this change?The emperor caught them off guard in the last class, but now they seem unwilling to compromise, or to give in easily.
Even if one subject and two subjects are postponed for three or six years, it can buy some time for the students from the south of the Yangtze River. Wang Yongguang guessed that the other two should have this idea.
It's just that this afternoon's wave probably gave Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi a scoop of cold water head-on, making their hearts colder than the current freezing weather.
Undoubtedly, Qi Yongtai, Guan Yingzhen, and the Qingtan Academy represented by them intend to stand on the opposite side of Jiangnan Academy, and even unswervingly promote the content of scientific examinations to further focus on current policy theory. What Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi didn't want to see.
Now it's time for him to stand in line with Chongzheng Academy. Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen pulled him and Chongzheng Academy in, probably because of this idea.
The question is do you have a choice?No.
Wang Yongguang smiled softly. The frustration and aggrieved mood caused by the "backstab" encountered in the morning can finally be relieved now, because thinking of Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi's inner coldness at this time.
"Opening the Chinese law is not a bad law, but a good law. Since the Ming Dynasty defended the Nine Borders, the opening of the Chinese law has played an irreplaceable role..., everyone can think about it, once the opening of the Chinese law is stopped, the merchants will no longer be able to Enthusiastically go to the Nine Sides to reclaim the Nine Sides, relying solely on the food brought by transportation, not to mention the increase in cost. Once other accidents occur, it will bring an unimaginable threat to the military food demand of the entire Nine Sides Garrison, and even affect the entire Northland Safety,……"
Dongyuan's main debate was Fan Jingwen. Not only was he eloquent but also his gestures were rich, so he was extremely persuasive. The students in Dongyuan applauded and encouraged him when he finished his explanation.
"..., Brother Fan's words are not unreasonable, but Brother Yu thinks that you may have overlooked a key point."
Xiyuan is naturally not mediocre. Everyone has been preparing for a month or two. It can be said that various issues have been discussed countless times. For example, the big topic of opening China and France has been discussed as a classic debate topic. So it's not hard at all.
It was Xu Xie who made the move. Even if this guy was in the middle of winter, he still shook his folding fan lightly and was personable. Compared with Fan Jingwen, he was more condescending.
"You emphasize that the key to opening up China and France lies in the reduction of transportation costs for merchants and the stability of food supply brought about by land reclamation. Then I want to tell my juniors that your point of view is completely wrong, or in other words, it is no longer feasible. ..."
Even though Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi were already thinking about how to counteract the possible threats posed by Qingtan Academy and Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen behind them, they still couldn't help being moved when they heard this topic.
Opening Chinese and French is definitely indispensable. This is everyone's inherent point of view, but there are many problems, and even in the eyes of many people, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
But after the abolition of the opening of China and France, how should the nine border military rations be resolved?
If no alternative means can be found, then everything is empty talk, no matter how evil the law is, you have to stick to it.
The biggest advantage of opening China and France is the stability of military food security and the reduction of transportation costs, but these guys actually say that this is no longer feasible?It's just nonsense!
This was the thought that came to Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi's mind at the same time. It was too shameless to dare to use this trick in order to attract the attention of the people below.
"Maybe some people think that what I said is scaremongering and sensationalizing. No, how can we do it in such an occasion?" Xu Xie seemed to guess what some people were thinking, and pointed it out with a smile.
"Then let me talk about it specifically. First, why did I say that the reduction in transportation costs is incorrect? Then let's analyze the factors that reduce transportation costs brought about by the opening of China and France. The main reason is the professionalism and salt brought by grain merchants." It is determined by the special nature of huge profits, but what really determines the transportation cost is its professionalism and low turnover level. It has no fixed and specific relationship with the opening of the salt business. It is just an artificial connection ,..."
"For businessmen, what they care about is making money, not how to make money. If we can provide a way for them to engage in their professional business and make money stably, it is possible to achieve cost reduction..."
"Let's talk about another question. It is undeniable that food transportation is subject to many factors, such as floods and droughts, and roads are affected by weather. Then reclamation along the border is the most effective means of protection. This is the consensus of everyone, and it is what the court has always insisted on. The key to opening Chinese and French, without opening Chinese and French, then merchants will have no interest in reclamation,..."
This is also well known, and Zhu Guozhen, Miao Changqi, and even Wang Yongguang and Yang Sichang were all aroused.
It can be said that this is precisely the core key to the development of China and France. The reduction of transportation costs is of course important, but the bottom line guarantee of reclamation and the provision of logistical support in all aspects along the border are the core key.
"According to what we have learned from the Ministry of Industry and some reports sent to the imperial court in Shaanxi and Shanxi, in fact, the weather along the frontier fortress has become worse and worse in the past 20 years. As a result, more reasons are due to the bad weather, and the harvest from reclamation along the border has become more and more difficult to maintain their own needs, let alone supply the frontier army,..."
"Here is some information we obtained through the imperial palace newspaper, which can prove that four of the seven abandoned settlements are due to weather conditions, and three are caused by merchants who are unable to support themselves due to the development of China and France..."
Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi looked at each other in blank dismay. Could it be that the standard of Qingtan Academy students has reached this level?Unless there is a special request from the imperial court, many of them can actually be produced, especially Qingtan Academy, which is obviously for the imperial court to send talents for the imperial examination. As an old man who has been an official for many years, it is not difficult to find some ways to find some information in this regard.
The problem is that such a targeted collection of residence newspapers as preparation for the next subject of current policy theory shows that Qingtan Academy has already worked hard in this area. Thinking of this, Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi both saw each other's eyes. Worry and worry.
This situation is too bad, and it is a big blow to both Zhu and Miao, which means that not only will it be difficult for them to gain the support of northern scholars in opposing the reform of scientific research, but they may even confront each other, and the other party will become a beneficiary.
Under such circumstances, if the academies in the south of the Yangtze River do not quickly come up with effective countermeasures, they will probably become the biggest victims.
This kind of fierce debate with swords and lips, especially when it involves current policy theories, many of them are current affairs and government affairs that the students below have never been exposed to.
Thinking of how I would be exposed to these affairs in the future once I am promoted to an official in the scientific examination, how can I not let these students be mesmerized by hearing it?
The bursts of applause mixed with cheers made the whole scene almost out of control, especially some classic debate sentences and the hot duel period, which made the students' blood boil, and they wished that they could immediately go on the field and compete with their opponents.
Among them, especially the students from Chongzheng, Tonghui, and Diecui academies, it was difficult to suppress their emotions, and they had already begun to discuss how to operate if their academies wanted to engage in such a confrontational debate on current policy theory.
Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi also noticed this and were even more worried. Wang Yongguang also realized this.
This seems to be a trend that cannot be reversed.
Another nine thousand words, ask for a monthly ticket!
