History of China Express: Starting with an inventory of one emperor through the ages

When Sun Hang said this, he also shook his head with a wry smile:

"To be honest, when I read about Zhu Yuanzhang’s history, I felt that Emperor Hongwu had traveled back in time from modern times.……"

"Zhu Yuanzhang has been working to popularize the Ming Dynasty Law among the people at the bottom, and even promotes the combination of theory and practice for social practice. He also encourages those teachers to talk more about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.……"

Fang Chuanzi was dumbfounded again at this time.

He didn't expect that he would casually start a conversation and make Sun Hang's wedding dress.

At that moment, he directly interrupted Sun Hang's eloquent words:

"Even if Zhu Yuanzhang implemented an education system that included food and accommodation, he went from social studies to county schools and then to government schools.……"

"I really don’t believe it that he can directly create a top university.……"

Colleges and universities are considered the highest institutions of learning in modern times.

When Sun Hang heard Fang Chuanzi's words, he immediately sneered and said:

"That's because you don't understand Emperor Hongwu. He actually established the highest academic institution.……"

"But in the Ming Dynasty, the institution of higher learning was called Guozijian……"

"The Imperial College is a place where the best students from various universities are selected and admitted through strict examinations.……"

"That's right, his selection and application method is actually the current college entrance examination.……"

"And then something even more incredible happened. The Imperial College implemented a graduation system.……"

"And the conditions for graduation: credits!"

"You must accumulate 8 credits to graduate.……"

"After graduation, Zhu Yuanzhang provided job opportunities……"

"The most incredible thing is that you must participate in an internship before graduation, and the internship also requires an evaluation report from the relevant instructor.……"

"Therefore, these students from the Imperial College really have to go to the Sixth Department for internships before graduation. Those with outstanding performance can be directly recommended to the local provincial government and directly take up positions.……"

When Sun Hang said these words, the entire Dragon Kingdom was filled with excitement:

"Institutions of higher learning, graduation system, credit system……"

"If you go for an internship before graduation, you still have to pass the internship unit's grades. Isn't this what today's institutions of higher learning are like? They are exactly the same, right?……"

"Feelings: All the graduation systems and credit systems in current institutions of higher learning are all based on the system of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great emperor of Hongwu. My great emperor is so awesome.……"

"Wake up upstairs, the Imperial College at the time of Emperor Hongwu went directly to the Sixth Ministry of Education, but our institutions of higher learning did not have that, so we are not as good as those students from the Imperial College in the Ming Dynasty.……"

"Yes, the students from the Imperial College performed well, but they went directly to the provincial government or served in the Sixth Ministry.……"

"Many of us are now unemployed right after graduation. It’s really hard to find a job. Let’s not talk about it. As a graduate, the foreman asked me to move bricks.……"

"Upstairs, don't rush to move it now. It's too hot today and the bricks will be hot to the touch.……"

"……"

This was the first time for many people in the Dragon Kingdom to know that there was a system like the Imperial College in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, simply created a completely new system in the field of education.

Let future generations do it hundreds of years later.

People have been imitating it, but it has never been surpassed.

Everyone was very convinced of Emperor Hongwu.

Sun Hang:

"The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang started popularizing social studies education from childhood, with free admission and free food and accommodation, was because he cared about the people at the bottom.

The other is to directly attack the Confucian sect of aristocratic families.

After his set of operations, those Confucian sects from aristocratic families charged students with tuition fees, how could they compare with Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"If there are free courses, who would be willing to spend money to take courses from those corrupt scholars?"

"And the most important thing is that those Confucian scholars must take the imperial examination if they want to be officials.

After entering Zhu Yuanzhang's school, you can directly work as an official in the provincial government after graduation. Those who are outstanding can directly enter the Sixth Department.……"

"Zhu Yuanzhang's compulsory education opened the way for the lower class to rise. At the same time, when it attacked the Confucian sects of the aristocratic families, it also let everyone know that the Confucian sects of the aristocratic families were not as unattainable as they had imagined before.……"

Hu Qinghe nodded when he heard this and said:

"The main reason why the aristocratic Confucian sect can survive is because they monopolize knowledge.

Then, the people are fooled to achieve the essence of class solidification, so that the Confucian sects of the aristocratic families can always be superior to the ordinary people.……"

"The education system of Zhu Yuanzhang's Imperial College, which includes food, accommodation and free tuition, is to bring the people at the bottom from ignorance to civilization. This way of opening up the people's wisdom is really an eternal achievement……"

"If the people are strong, the country will be strong……"

Hu Qing and He Juzuo obviously admired Zhu Yuanzhang equally.

When many emperors came to the throne, they were busy fooling the people and consolidating the class, hoping that the people would never be able to stand up and be squeezed by the imperial power for the rest of their lives.

Zhu Yuanzhang did the opposite and carried out large-scale enlightenment of the people. Such achievements are indeed worthy of future generations.……"

But then Hu Qinghe shook his head and sighed:

"It's a pity that even though Zhu Yuanzhang vigorously tried to eliminate the Confucian sects of the aristocratic families, in the end these Confucian sects disappeared from the world and hid themselves away from the imperial power.……"

"After Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen came to power, the Confucian sect of the aristocratic family immediately rose to prominence through Fang Xiaoru and others, directly abolishing all the policies that Zhu Yuanzhang had worked so hard to establish during his reign.……"

"The Imperial College education was abolished, and the Confucian sect of the aristocratic family revived and regained control of the entire Ming Dynasty.……"

Sun Hang also nodded with great regret when he heard this.

If Zhu Yuanzhang's compulsory education could be implemented throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Then the Ming Dynasty might not become so weak later.

It was even directly replaced by the Qing Dynasty.

It is a pity that these policies of Zhu Yuanzhang were only promoted during the Hongwu period.

After Emperor Jianwen and Emperor Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, they reversed history in a drastic way and overturned basically all of Zhu Yuanzhang's policies.

He even followed Fang Xiaoru's Fu Zhou system and traveled in the well fields.

Turning the clock back on history, we want to go back directly to the Zhou Dynasty society of slavery.

Thinking about it, Sun Hang was very speechless.

How could such a famous Hongwu Emperor as Zhu Yuanzhang have such an ignorant descendant as Emperor Jianwen?

Fang Chuanzi heard Hu Qinghe say that Zhu Yuanzhang's compulsory education and many policies had not been promoted all the time.

He immediately sneered and said:

"There is no point in talking about a system that has not been promoted. I still admire the Zhenguan rule of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin's rule, as well as the subsequent Kaiyuan era.……"

"If nothing else, just Li Shimin, who loved his people like a son, could probably beat all the emperors.……"

Fang Chuanzi still admired Tang Taizong Li Shimin very much.

After all, when he was studying for a doctorate abroad, what he liked to talk about the most was Chinatown in the lighthouse country.

Every time he talks about Chinatown, Lighthouse Country will be very close to him, which makes Fang Chuanzi very excited.

Therefore, Fang Chuanzi always believed that Li Shimin was the emperor through the ages.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he may still be a few orders of magnitude behind.

Sun Hang heard Fang Chuanzi mention Li Er and continued:

"If you compare Li Er and Zhu Yuanzhang to Aimin, you are obviously looking for the wrong person.……"
