Zhu Houzhao was a tyrant who killed the entire Kong family of the Ming Dynasty, so that even the blood of saints could be killed directly.

How could he be the wise king in their Confucian eyes?

The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king!

But at this time, they obviously forgot that the theories they created were all about strengthening the imperial power, but they were also improving their status in disguise.

It is true that Zhu Houzhao is not the wise king they call him. However, the ministers under Zhu Houzhao are actually very satisfied with their current life. Except for going to the morning court when necessary, most of the time they work from nine to five.

Think about ministers in other countries, who have to get up at three or four o'clock every morning, but look at our own side, getting up at seven or eight o'clock every day is not a problem.

In terms of salary, it is also on par with"710" companies in other countries. You must know that the salary of Ming officials in the past was indeed not comparable to that of other countries.

But since Zhu Houzhao came to the throne, the salary of Ming officials has been getting higher and higher, especially in terms of performance pay. Ming Dynasty is not bad at all. Even good officials, after verification, are paid better than officials in other countries. Much more.

This can be regarded as a reward for some officials who are diligent and love the people!

However, Zhu Houzhao did not hold back any officials who liked to do messy things for their own career. People from Tianwang, East and West Factory, Jinyiwei and Gen were not free earners.

Unable to corrupt these people, officials could only hold back their hands.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty actually treats some truly capable scholars quite well. Organizations such as the Ming Dynasty Daily will invite some officials to publish some articles from time to time. If they are good, they will also give them a good polish. fee.

If they have a book they want to publish, it can be printed and published as long as it is approved by the Ming Dynasty official.

At that time, they can also earn a lot of royalties.

It can be said that in this regard, Zhu Houzhao thinks that he has done a very good job. As long as they do not do business themselves, and then let their immediate relatives do business, or make profits through their own power, Zhu Houzhao is acceptable.

After all, it is impossible for Zhu Houzhao to really let the officials under him become saints!!

But if something goes wrong, then it will depend on whether Zhu Houzhao's sword is sharp or not.

Cai Jing fully approves of entering the Ming Dynasty Royal Academy to teach. Although this may become a"traitor" to Confucianism, Cai Jing said that he is not a Confucian disciple in essence.

Their identity as Confucian disciples is nothing more than what they claim to be. Scholars all over the world can call themselves Confucian disciples. This indeed strengthens Confucianism, but it also makes Confucian influence uneven.

In fact, many people do not have the power of Confucianism in their hearts, and all they want to do is to flaunt themselves for it.

If you really want them to shed their lives and blood for Confucianism, most of these people will not be able to do it.

Only when the identity of Confucian disciples is beneficial to them, they will recognize this identity.

Even now, except for the Confucianists in the Qin Dynasty, the Confucians in the Song, Mongolian, Yuan, Sui and Tang dynasties are all occupied by that kind of Confucian people.

This is also the main reason why Yan Hui is very dissatisfied with that kind of Confucianism, which is nothing more than officials, gentry, scholar-bureaucrats and aristocratic classes wearing Confucianism.

It has nothing to do with Confucianism!

…………………………………………………………

The Ming Royal Academy continued to expand its enrollment, which also meant that Zhu Houzhao was not so short of manpower.

Even Zhu Houzhao had to admit that the people from Xiaoshengxian Village brought by Xunzi solved Zhu Houzhao's urgent needs.

The people brought by Xunzi were indeed talented people. After they entered the Ming Royal Academy, they began to learn the knowledge of the Ming Dynasty.

While they were studying, they assisted the schools and helped them teach students Confucianism.

This has greatly alleviated the problem of insufficient teachers in the Ming Dynasty Royal Academy. After all, the prerequisite for expanding the number of students must be a sufficient number of teachers.

Fortunately, this problem is gradually improved now. Zhu Houzhao is also very interested in the Confucianism brought by Xunzi. These are all talents!!

For this reason, Zhu Houzhao said more than once that they are the real Confucians. He even wrote articles in the name of Lu Xun in the Ming Dynasty Daily, criticizing the Confucianism of other countries and praising the Confucianism of the Ming Dynasty.....

Of course, most of the time, it is Zhu Houzhao who proposes a concept, and Ji Yanran, a talented woman, is responsible for perfecting it for Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao had no intention of taking credit for Ji Yanran's work, and initially wanted Ji Yanran's name to be credited as the author.

However, she was rejected by Ji Yanran. After all, everyone knew that Ji Yanran was Zhu Houzhao's. If Ji Yanran appeared in the author's name, wouldn't this be Zhu Houzhao's personal end?

In Ji Yanran's view, this matter ended badly for Zhu Houzhao himself, and Lu Xun seemed to be a pen name. Since Zhu Houzhao can be Lu Xun, why can't Ji Yanran be Lu Xun?

Good guy, everyone is really Lu Xun! Indeed, Zhou Shuren did what Zhu Houzhao did, why couldn't Ji Yanran do it?

Because Lu Xun continuously criticized the official and gentry groups in other countries, the relationship between Ming Dynasty and surrounding countries became more and more contradictory, and wars of words continued one after another.

However, this has little to do with the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty.

In the few months after Cai Jing left, people in the Northern Song Dynasty continued to flee towards the Ming Dynasty. There was also official support from the Northern Song Dynasty. In just five months, at least two million people in the Northern Song Dynasty fled. Arrived in Ming Dynasty.

This number is much faster than Zhu Houzhao expected at the beginning.

After all, the population of some small countries is actually just this number.

Xixia seemed to be quite powerful before, but at its peak, Xixia only had two to three million people.

It can be said that in the past few months, a person from Xixia came to the Ming Dynasty. At this time, people with a discerning eye also saw that things were different.

The Northern Song Dynasty royal family cooperated with Zhu Houzhao! (To read cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
