Chapter 1145 Postscript 2: Senior Time Traveler is so awesome

This "Ming Dynasty Territory Map" is colorful and follows the four-color theorem.

Xie Yan just glanced a few casually and ten thousand alpacas ran past him in his heart.

The northernmost territory of the map includes Lake Baikal and is marked as "North Sea Lake".

The main area of ​​Outer Mongolia also has the Baikal area, called "Yanran Protectorate".

The Hulunbuir grassland and surrounding mountains, as well as the eastern part of Outer Mongolia, and some parts of northern Russia, called the "Dingbei Protectorate".

The central and small eastern regions of Inner Mongolia are called "Monan Protectorate".

The Songliao Basin (formerly the Linhuang Protectorate) spanning Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning, was cut into several parts. One part belongs to Beijing, one part belongs to Hebei, one part belongs to Liaoning, and the other part belongs to Andong Protectorate.

The territory of Liaoning Province and Andong Protectorate are both extremely large. The former is "Liaoning + half Jilin + a small amount of Inner Mongolia", and the latter is "Heilongjiang + half Jilin + a large amount of Russian Far East territory".

Most of the western regions of Inner Mongolia are assigned to Ningxia Province.

What’s even more outrageous is that South Korea and North Korea have directly become North Korean provinces.

Kyushu, Hokkaido, Tsushima, Sado Island, Yakushima, Oki Island, etc. in Japan have all become the "Governor General's Office of Yingzhou".

The entire Australia and New Zealand are called the "Australia Governor's Office".

To the west of Sichuan is the "Tubo Protectorate".

Xinjiang has become an "Anxi Province" and has a complete Ili River Valley and most of Kyrgyzstan.

Further west is the "Qianhe Protectorate".

To the south of the Qihe Protectorate is Dayuan State, and the word "Father" is marked with brackets.

Most of Vietnam has become the "Jiaozhi Province".

The remaining half of Vietnam, plus the entire Cambodia, and some Thai regions are called "Southern Henan Country" and marked as vassals.

The Malay Peninsula, the Philippines and Indonesia are a large number of governors' offices and vassal states.

Xie Yan stared at the "Australia Governor's Office" and was basically sure that this was done by the time traveler.

If the world line just went off the line, it is unlikely that it would be called Australia. It is too coincidental, so most of it is the name given by time travelers.

Xie Yan asked: "Will there be no rebellion in such a large country?"

Wang Sheng smiled and said, "There are rebellions every few days. Every two or three years in the newspaper, there will be news that officers and soldiers will successfully suppress the thieves. Anyway, the newspapers are full of victories, and if they really lose, they will definitely not be published."

Xie Yan looked at the map and said, "This vassal named Dayuan Kingdom has too large territory. It often raises troops and rebellions, right?"

The country of Dayuan extends to the Pamir Mountains in the east, to the Caspian Sea in the west, and to the mountainous areas of Afghanistan in the south. It seems to have a vast territory, but in fact it is mostly desert areas.

Wang Sheng said: "Dayuan is the most loyal and has been fighting against all countries in the west and south. When they cannot win, the Ming Dynasty will support money and grain and sell it to weapons. Once the Ming Dynasty sent troops personally. If the Qihe Protectorate of the Ming Dynasty encounters danger, the Dayuan army will also go north to help."

Xie Yan said: "You know a lot."

"Everyone knows it," said Wang Sheng. "The Ming Dynasty and the Southern Henan Kingdom, the Dayuan Kingdom have always been a father-son country, and the founding monarch was the two princes of the Ming Dynasty."

Xie Yan murmured in a low voice: "That time travel senior is really awesome."

"What did the husband say?" Wang Sheng didn't hear it clearly.

Xie Yan casually said: "I mean the Ming Taizu is really powerful."

Wang Sheng said: "Not only Taizu is powerful, but Emperor Taizong is even more powerful. Since Emperor Taizong started his army, he has never been defeated when he commanded himself, and has captured a huge territory in decades. If this map of the territory of the Ming Dynasty is not considered a vassal state, 90% of the territory was expanded by the Taizong dynasty."

Xie Yan asked: "What is the year name of Taizu?"

"Hongwu," Wang Sheng said excitedly, "The coins of the Hongwu Dynasty are valuable. Whether it is gold, silver or copper coins, the quality of the coins can be sold at high prices. I heard that the coin minting technology was insufficient in the early years of the founding of the country, and it has been recycled and recast for decades, which has made the Hongwu coins now very small."

Xie Yan murmured to himself: "Hongwu, Hongwu, it's true..." He suddenly asked again, "Is Emperor Taizong's reign title Yongle?"

"How could it be Yongle? Taizong was the famous emperor of the divine talisman! By the way, he changed his lunar name in his early years, called "Revival of China." All these things Wang Sheng said were common sense.

Xie Yan had a strange expression: "Reviving China... What a ghost year name? How many years has the Ming Dynasty been founding?"

Wang Sheng scratched his head: "It's over a hundred years. How many years do you have to read the book and calculate it before you know it."

"Are there any historical books of this dynasty?" Xie Yan asked.

Wang Sheng replied: "There is definitely not a regular history for officials. There are brief history. Scholars will learn it after they start to learn, mainly talking about the things that happened in the late Song Dynasty and the early years of the State."

"Can you find it at home?" Xie Yan asked.

Wang Sheng walked to a corner of the study, pointed to the used textbook and said, "There must be something here."

Xie Yan squatted down and looked for it together. When he saw the words "Elementary and Middle School", he felt more outrageous and nonsense: "Can you talk about the imperial examination system?"

As Wang Sheng told him, Xie Yan felt more and more that Emperor Taizong was awesome.

However, in the later years of Emperor Taizong, he reformed the imperial examinations again.

Four years of elementary school, three years of middle school (junior high school), three years of college (high school), and divided into arts and science.

Generally, you can go to the imperial examination at the age of seven and take the imperial examination at the age of seventeen. But in fact, there is no strict distinction because there is insufficient number of official schools, and there are still a large number of village schools, social schools, and private schools.

Therefore, there are no unified primary school examinations or unified middle school examinations.

The third-level fame of scholars, scholars, and Jinshi still exists. The first two are more like diplomas, without any political or economic privileges. If you have scholars, you can easily find a job when you apply for a job in the trading company.

As for the Imperial Academy, it is more like a modern university and a research institute. It currently has one in Luoyang, Kaifeng, Beijing, Nanjing, Chengdu and Lanzhou. It has a reputation as a juren after graduation and has improved its graduation pass rate.

Jinshi is also divided into literary and Jinshi and Li. The contents learned are roughly the same, but there are differences in depth. For example, in the liberal arts, in addition to the compulsory mathematics, you must also master superficial natural science knowledge.

Colleges such as medicine, machinery, and military have all been converted to certain universities (actually similar to technical secondary school or junior college). This type of student is still taking the exam for the vocational subjects and obtaining the title of Jinshi for the vocational subjects, and can immediately become technicians. If they fail to pass the Jinshi for the vocational subjects and transfer to the yamen at all levels, they will be admitted first. If they go to the trading company to apply for a job, companies and factories generally rush to ask for people.

"I'm damn..."

Xie Yan couldn't help but swear after hearing this. Senior Time Traveler was too awesome.

Xie Yan's current identity is a college student (actually a high school student, with different names). He can take the imperial examination after another year. It's okay to take the exam now, and it's okay to take the exam after two years. Anyway, there are no rigid requirements.

However, the official school does not allow re-education. You can review yourself for ten or eight years of exams, or find a private academy to study slowly.

This was another compromise between Emperor Taizong of the traditional imperial examinations. He tried his best to move closer to the modern education system, but he had to give in due to various reasons.

Especially financial issues.

It is impossible to open public schools on a large scale, but private schools must be supplemented.

Where did the Ming Dynasty's finances go?

I've paid civil servants a salary!

The number of formal officials increased many times, which means that all the department-level and department-level cadres have been formalized, and some clerks have also been formalized, so as to minimize the number of temporary workers in yamen at all levels.

At the same time, the requirements for formal officials have been raised: formal officials in government offices above the government level must have scholars to apply for the exam. Formal officials in central institutions must have scholars to be fame and honor to apply for the exam.

If there is no scholar or scholar's fame, then you can only slowly rise from a lower-level department. This is equivalent to increasing the room and mobility of officials. A lower-level official does not have to stare at the transition to a rank official, but can also dream of being promoted to a higher-level official.

There were several history textbooks in front of Xie Yan.

It is a traditional Chinese character, but if it can be simplified, try to simplify it.

For example, the word "no" was not written as "no". Not to mention the popular way of writing this thing, even the copybooks of Song Huizong himself were basically written as "no". At that time, only official documents, books or copying Buddhist scriptures were written as "no".

The people have naturally simplified to that extent, so Emperor Taizong simply simplified the textbooks and official documents.

There is also "cloud" and it is not written as "cloud".

In fact, oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions have always been "clouds", and it was not until the seal script appeared that there was "clouds".

Volume 1, ancient times.

The world begins to open, eat raw meat and drink blood, and then slash and fire.

In the history textbook, overseas island indigenous peoples and some ethnic minorities in China are also used as examples.

Then there were the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Laizu raised silkworms, Cangjie created characters, Dayu controlled floods, etc., most of them belonged to ancient legends.

Volume 2, Xia Shang.

Volume 3, Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn, and Warring States Period.

Volume 4, Qin and Han dynasties.

This set of history textbooks calls ancient times the tribal era, pre-Qin era the feudal era, and since the Qin and Han Dynasties the county era.

The second grade history textbook for middle school (junior high school) ended in the Qin and Han dynasties, and the first grade did not learn history.

Xie Yan quickly finished reading and pointed to the cover's author's name and asked: "Why is the editor-in-chief's name not only flips the line separately, but also has one frame of printing? The other authors are not like this."

Wang Sheng explained: "That was the name of Taizu. This set of history textbooks was also edited by Taizu in his later years. At that time, dozens of great scholars were summoned, and some Gentile scholars even came to minor in the program."

"I have been quarreling for decades. I heard that there was no difference at the beginning. Later, I was empty one space, and then I changed the line and finally turned into a line and the line was quarreling again and again. Now I am still quarreling every now and then. From time to time, scholars call in the newspapers to ask the Ministry of Rites not to print out the name of Taizu."

Xie Yan suddenly thought of a joke, the empty Principal Chang.

The third grade history textbook of middle school (junior high school), talks about the Three Kingdoms, Wei and Jin Dynasties, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Xie Yan found out the first grade textbooks of university (high school).

The beginning is the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and then the Song, Liao and Western Xia were discussed in detail, and briefly described how Gaochang, Annan, Dali, Bohai and other countries were divided. It also talked about how the Goryeo Kingdom was formed and sent troops to embezzle the land of Han families such as Pyongyang.

Xie Yan noticed that in this Ming Dynasty history textbook, the Song and Liao countries were classified as Southern and Northern Dynasties, Western Xia, Gaochang, Annan, Dali, Bohai and other countries, which belonged to the separatist and partially An regime.
