"Your Majesty, I think it seems inappropriate to place miscellaneous studies such as medicine, divination and arithmetic on the same position?" Shang Baoqing Han Du said in a comment.

"What's wrong with this?" Zhu Yinglong was not interested in Han Yu at all. If he had not died of Yuan Chonghuan's master, he would not be willing to summon such an old man to the court.

"Your Majesty, since the founding of Taizu, our dynasty has ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and practiced the way of a gentleman, respected the words of a saint, ruled the world with Confucianism and Law, and educated people's hearts. Now the emperor suddenly put such miscellaneous studies that are not elegant and elegant with the studies of Confucianism and reason. It is really contrary to the great laws of our Han people for thousands of years!" Han Du knelt down and bowed.

"When did I place miscellaneous studies along with saints' learning?" Zhu Yinglong cursed the old man Han Yu in his heart. Didn't he say that I was unfilial and rebellious about my ancestors? So he pretended to be a strange smile and asked, "All the ministers, do you have to say justice for me. When did I say that the achievement of saints and the path of miscellaneous studies along with the path of miscellaneous studies?"

"Didn't the emperor just say that he will also set up two universities? Since they are two universities, they are naturally of equal status?" Chen Yangmei, the censor of the Zuodu, stepped out.

"Yes, yes." There was a sudden echo below.

"You are absolutely wrong!" Suddenly, Huang Zongxi's clear voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and he immediately suppressed the discussion.

"Emperor, I am a master. Although Zong Xi is a junior, I feel ridiculous about the views of all the masters. Not to mention that the emperor has not raised the miscellaneous learning to the same level as the saint's Confucianism and theory. Even so, the saint once said that what we have learned is to apply it. The saint's learning allows us to cultivate ourselves and virtue, not to teach us the ability to survive. You all have been through ten years of hard work, and have gained fame by studying hard. Please

If you didn't get a fame and a career, where would you go? Every time the court held a tuition and tens of thousands of students went to Beijing to take the exam, how many people could get fame and fortune? What could those who failed to get fame and were discouraged and lazy to make a living? The emperor just gave these scholars a new way out and worked for the court and the emperor. Is it wrong for the emperor to do this?" Huang Zunsu asked all the officials in the hall with righteous words.

"Nephew Huang, Mr. Han is not opposed to the emperor's approach, but it is just inappropriate to equate such miscellaneous studies with the sage's learning." Zhou Tingru came out to help.

Throughout Chinese history, Confucian scholarship has always been regarded as classics. Although any other theories have not been regarded as heresy, they have always been dismissed by scholars, believing that those who are just low-level and meaningless arts and sages do not want to do so. Then these scholars who respect the sages' learning are naturally even more dismissive. Since the Song and Ming dynasties, although society has made some progress, it is this Confucian idea that these so-called miscellaneous studies are simply useless and can truly make the country prosperous and strong. The sage who comes to the tribute to the sages is the way of governing the world with benevolence and virtue, and being self-confidant and arrogant. This is why China has been weak for a hundred years in the late Qing Dynasty and is bullied by others. In fact, it is all the so-called corrupt scholars who are harmed by this group of so-called corrupt scholars.

Even Sun Chengzong, who had been following him for a long time, agreed with him, but he did not dare to object, because as long as he spoke, at least half of the people in the court would object, and he would inevitably fall into a dilemma at that time. In fact, he was also a little shaken in his heart. After being by Zhu Yinglong for a long time, it would not have no influence at all. He was deeply influenced by "practice is the only criterion for testing truth", so he took a silent attitude. The officials of the Qiandi Wang of Yuanxin either supported the emperor or remained silent, and formed three factions of opinions on this incident. However, it was obvious that Zhu Yinglong had the upper hand, because he was the leader among the silent people.

"I just set up two schools. Is it as for such a big fight?" Zhu Yinglong's face was straightened, and he looked at the ministers in the hall and asked.

"I have neither said that I should list miscellaneous studies with saints at the same level, nor said that I have disrespected saints. The two universities have different functions and recruit different students. I have not issued an order to say that scholars in the world must study one of these two universities. Is Mr. Han wrong about my intention?" Zhu Yinglong smiled slightly and asked Han.

"The emperor has never said it, but..." Han Yu was still waiting to defend himself, but Zhu Yinglong blocked him back.

"Isn't this a matter of establishing two universities? It's decided to set up two universities." As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, it was difficult to change. As long as the established things become reality, what can these stubborn old officials do to him?

"Emperor!" More than a dozen officials knelt down in the hall and shouted, some even dripping a few tears on the spot.

"You have no jokes, I have already said it. Do you want me to break my trust in all officials and people in the world? How did the saints teach you how to treat your king and father?" Zhu Yinglong was a little angry, stood up and pointed at the ministers kneeling on the ground, and scolded him with great singular voice.

"The emperor calms down. These are all my loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty. They may not have understood the profound meaning of the emperor's actions for a while. I believe that in time, they will definitely understand the emperor's painstaking efforts." Sun Chengzong pleaded for the minister kneeling on the ground.

"Okay, Mr. Sun, you don't have to plead for them anymore. I am not the kind of unruly and stupid monarch who can't listen to different opinions. The monarch and minister, the monarch and the minister, if there is no quarrel, you can't be the monarch and the minister. Do you think? Get up, it's so cold, it's quite cold to kneel on the ground."

"The emperor is wise!" After saying this, several people finally moved and stood up and ranked. With an example, the following things were easier. More than a dozen ministers kneeling on the ground stood up one after another.

"I would like to report, what should these two universities be named?" Xu Guangqi, Minister of Rites, said.

Zhu Yinglong immediately laughed. The name had been thought of for a long time, but it was still ready-made. Peking University and Tsinghua University in later generations were not well-known, but they could not be among the world-renowned universities because of their lack of background and history. Now, this regret cannot become a regret when they come to this time and space, and also leave a little memory of their time and space for this time and space, saying: "I have thought about it for a long time. One is named after the place name of Beijing, Peking University, and the other is called Tsinghua University. What do you think?"

"Why dare you to invite the emperor, what is Peking University and what is Tsinghua University?" Xu Guangqi asked.

"Beijing is the capital of my Ming Dynasty. The university named after it is naturally a hall that teaches the saints' learning. Is Tsinghua University? Shuimu Tsinghua University? Of course, it is more appropriate to name it the Hall of Miscellaneous Studies." Zhu Yinglong thought about it, and asked him to come up with these two reasons and decided on the name.

Xu Guangqi thanked him and stepped down in court.

Just as Zhu Yinglong was about to say, "Since there is nothing to do, the court will part today", Huang Zunsu, the Minister of Personnel, requested the candidate for the prefect of Kaifeng.

Originally, the appointment of this prefect was not necessary to be taken to the court, because Zhu Yinglong's appointment of the prefect and the officials at the prefect level were all delegated to the Ministry of Personnel. It would be necessary to report whoever was appointed. However, Kaifeng Prefecture was the location of the fief before the emperor ascended the throne. There was now a palace of the Xinwang Mansion and a villa. In such a place, Huang Zunsu, the Minister of Personnel, dared not take the initiative to make the decision.

After Wei Zhongxian could not escape, after learning the news, Wang Shaowei, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, secretly escaped before the court captured important members of the eunuch party. He knew that Wang Xin ascended the throne and would not let him go. After Wang Shaowei fled south, the procurator Fan Fuzi temporarily handled daily affairs and submitted a report to the court, asking the court to send a new magistrate to preside over the work.

Huang Zunsu drafted several candidates, but Zhu Yinglong didn't know him at first sight. Although he had a resume, he was not familiar with him. He immediately crossed out all of them and promoted him to the prefect of Kaifeng. He still knew this person, love the people, protect the people, be honest and fair. Unfortunately, there is no stage to display his talents. How can such a person not be used?

Immediately afterwards, the Censor Mao Yujian submitted a memorial to Chen Yi's handover: "The Ministry of War issued a notice and issued a notice but failed to pay it. The gentry handed over each piece of paper and added four copies. The power of the servants is like a tiger, and the fate of the common people is like silk." Local officials also arbitrarily deducted the funds for the post station and embezzled private fertilizers, which made the poor people who served in the post station not only unable to fill their stomachs, but also unable to afford the post horses.

The Tongzheng Department Huang Daozhou went to Shaanxi to train national affairs and explained: "The Qin and Jin posts are not fully delivered. Now the suffering of recruiting husbands is ten times more, so everyone wants to escape. Whenever they are on the road, they should give them all to calm the people's hearts." And he also talked about the situation of an inn called Anding: "There is 50,000 silver at Anding Station, and each is only one or two thousand gold is given. The county magistrate deducts 400 yuan, and the rest is first distributed to the inn."

People and horses were hungry and tired, and they were struggling to travel on the road of post. The horseman at the post station, or the postman, sang "Guanshan Ballad": Fat horses were bleeding and thin horses were broken. Only by walking by can you know the horse's strength.

In the Ming Dynasty, the stations were set up on the national transportation line. As a communication line for the government to upload and report, it also provided transportation and accommodation conditions for high-ranking officials and officials to conduct official business transactions. According to regulations, shops were set up every ten miles, and shops had their own shops, sixty miles of posts, and posts had their posts. The main responsibility of the shop was to convey documents, and there was also the obligation to guide and welcome when high-ranking officials and nobles were to communicate. The main task of the post was to provide government officials with transportation, such as boats, horses, husbands and servants, and also to convey emergency official documents. In the early days, the system was relatively strict, and without the permission of the court, ordinary officials could not use the posts privately. After the mid-Ming Dynasty, with the overall corruption of the official government, the posts system also grew ill-fated. Officials of all sizes exchanged between officials and officials.

On the road, I often pick the husbands and horses at will, and even squeeze the "broken dryer" at will. Even if the post station provides more than the actual needs, the excess is sold into silver and included in the private bag. In this way, the post station has limited manpower and material resources, exhausted, and even sold children to make up for the funds. In the second year of Tianqi, the censor Fang Zhenru once submitted a report to Emperor Tianqi: "If the post is delivered, there is only this number of husbands and only this number of horses. Since the Eastern Affairs, military affairs have been sent by noon, and officials are a hundred times higher than before. If it is still the same, it will be unlucky to support them. When I passed by, I arrived at the mountains and seas from Tongzhou, and saw the husbands, horses and carriages, all of whom were crying like rain, and I couldn't bear to see and hear. The thin horses walked by the dead road and were invincible."

So the Criminal Department gave a statement to the clerk Liu Mao, suggesting that the post office delivery should be strictly rectified and the standards for the use of post office delivery should be redefined. In the revision, he believed that after the rectification and the various problems were eliminated, the post office fund could save hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year.

Although Liu Mao’s heart is good, the cost of post office must not be saved, and it must be increased, and it is certain that it needs to be rectified. Moreover, this post office is not only for official purposes, but also open to the open room. Of course, this cannot be free. It is charged a certain fee based on the weight of the letter. In addition to the official delivery of official documents, the official’s private letter delivery also has to be charged, and a rigid regulation is formed. No one shall break this rule. There is also the post office to entertain and accommodate officials, providing services such as carriages and horses, if there is no order from the court or official duties, and there must be a proof. Unless it is an incumbent official, the family can be exempted from the fees. If not, the fees will be charged. Any official who is dissatisfied or does not give money will be severely punished!

In this way, a prototype postal system will be built on the basis of the post station, which will not only greatly alleviate the harm of post delivery, but also allow the postmen to have a certain income and no longer have any miserable incidents of selling children and women to supplement the funding of the post station. It is possible to even continue to develop without the court's money, and it is possible to bear the profit and loss by yourself!
