Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 745, the chief examiner of autumn in Nanyang Province
Thinking of the slave issue, Liu Jin felt a slight headache. If this issue is not resolved, it will have a huge impact on future generations.

The slave problem, in the final analysis, is actually a population problem.

If Daming had a population of hundreds of millions or more than a billion, then everything would be no problem. There would be no need to use slaves at all, and the population of Daming alone would be enough.

Of course, compared with the European countries in history, Ming Dynasty must be better in the era of global colonization.

Because although Daming does not have hundreds of millions of people, there are still [-] million people. With such a huge population base, this also determines that Ming can develop rapidly in the era of globalization and colonization. Even if it can use slaves, the number of slaves The number will not be too much, and there is already enough population.

However, if Daming occupies Nanyang and Australia, and if it wants to monopolize the Golden Continent, the more people there are, the better.

"Perhaps we can suggest to His Majesty that in addition to marrying Daming women as wives, Daming people must also take concubines, women from other races as concubines. If this is the case, the population will definitely grow explosively."

"There is also the establishment of a medical school. The population explosion in later generations is inseparable from advanced medical technology. In this era, even the emperor's children have a high mortality rate, let alone the children of ordinary people."

Thinking of this, Liu Jin immediately felt the urgency of establishing a medical school.

The means of providing population is nothing more than increasing the birth rate and reducing the death rate. As for the development and immigration of some so-called experts in later generations, they are all bullshit experts, garbage that has plagued the millennium.

Immigration, immigration, immigration creates enough problems to destroy a country.

Without a common culture, values, beliefs and skin color, the so-called immigrants are just asking for trouble.

"It is indeed necessary to establish a medical school."

"Well, after all, there are already many schools established before and after. Perhaps the greatest wealth I leave to future generations is these various schools."

Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help laughing.

"My lord, there is an order from the capital."

At this time, someone came over in a hurry and said.

"...There must be something else going on."

Liu Jin was speechless, no need to think about it, there must be no way to return to the capital in a short time.

"His Majesty appointed Nanyang Province as the chief examiner of Qiu Wei this time to show the imperial court's importance to Nanyang Province."

The visitor smiled and said.

"Qiu Wei chief examiner?"

When Liu Jin heard it, he was taken aback for a moment. In a blink of an eye, he could become the chief examiner of Qiu Wei?
Time flies so fast, all of a sudden, I can represent the imperial court and become the chief examiner of a province.

The court attaches great importance to the Ceremony of Luncai held every three years.

Generally, the provinces first conduct the Qiuwei Examination. This is called the Township Examination, which is held by provincial units, and then the candidates admitted to the Qiuwei Examination go to the capital to take part in the general examination. The general examination is held by the imperial court. Those who can participate in the palace examination are regarded as disciples of the emperor.

The imperial court attaches great importance to the imperial examination. Generally speaking, it will choose the ministers of the current court to support the imperial examination. In the provincial examinations held in various provinces, the imperial court will also send ministers to the provinces as chief examiners to show the imperial court's respect for the imperial examination. Attaching great importance to it shows the imperial court's great love and care for the provinces.

Just as Liu Jin happened to be on the Nanyang side, Emperor Hongzhi arrested a young man and simply made Liu Jin the chief examiner of the Nanyang Province, Zhang Mao the chief examiner of the Jiaozhi Province, and Wang Shouren the chief examiner of the Xianglin Province.

Liu Jin, Zhang Mao, and Wang Shouren are all important ministers in the court. They are all qualified to be the chief examiners of a province, and they are enough to demonstrate the court's importance and grace to the newly established three provinces.

"Nanyang Province, Xianglin Province, Jiaozhi Province, Liaodong Province, and Grassland Province set up a separate list, which is the East List?"

Looking at the news from the capital, Liu Jin couldn't help being slightly dumbfounded.

The Imperial Examinations of the Ming Dynasty were divided into two rankings, the North and the South, and now there is an additional East Ranking. After that, it is necessary to conquer all parts of the Western Regions, so is it necessary to set up a separate West Ranking?
But if you think about it carefully, it seems like a good way to set it up like this. These places newly included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, because of the lack of education, many people have difficulty even taking the imperial examination, let alone take the imperial examination.

Whether it is placed on the southern list or the northern list, it will definitely fail the test. The east list is set up separately, and the requirements are lower. First, show the grace of the court, win people's hearts, and stabilize these places.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Jin immediately understood the above meaning.

Everything in these newly included places in Ming Dynasty is still unstable.

In places like Jiaozhi, Xianglin, and Nanyang, the number of Ming people is small, and there are many foreigners. Although Ming has a strong force, it is easy to conquer the country, but it is difficult to control the country.

If they want to rule these places for a long time, the hearts of these places need to be gathered together so that they not only know the majesty of the Son of Heaven, but also feel the rain and dew of the Son of Heaven.

With the combination of kindness and strength, coupled with the large number of migrants coming over, and supplemented by enlightenment, over the years, they will naturally and completely integrate into the Ming Dynasty.

"Well, Dang being the chief examiner seems to be pretty good."

After thinking about it, Liu Jin couldn't help laughing immediately.

Time is tight, and Liu Jin has been busy non-stop since he was appointed.

Crescent City is the capital of Nanyang Province, and the Chief Envoy of Nanyang Province is here.

"Liu Gong~"

Seeing Liu Jin coming to visit him, Wu Yang, the chief envoy of Nanyang Province, came out to greet him with a smile on his face.

It stands to reason that Wu Yang is a local official from the second rank, and Liu Jin is only an official from the third rank, two levels behind him, so there is absolutely no need for him to be so enthusiastic.

But Liu Jin in front of him is only in his twenties, and he is already in his sixties. The gap between the two is really too big.

Liu Jin is still an official in the capital, and he is also a celebrity around Emperor Hongzhi. If there is no accident in the future, joining the cabinet is a certainty, so even though the official position is currently smaller than his own, Wu Yang is also very enthusiastic at the same time.

"Wu... Gong..."

Liu Jin smiled and replied, if this person surnamed Wu was named Wu Gong, would he be similar to a centipede?

The two sat down separately as host and guest, and soon a servant brought fragrant tea and some fruit.

"Wu Gong, I think you also know that the imperial court asked me to preside over the Nanyang imperial examination."

Liu Jin took a sip of tea, smiled and talked to Wu Yang.

"I have also received the imperial court's decree. Mr. Liu, you are a high-ranking and knowledgeable man. The imperial court asked you, Mr. Liu, to preside over this imperial examination. This is the imperial court's grace to Nanyang, and it is enough to show the imperial court's respect for our Nanyang. Pay attention to."

Wu Yang nodded solemnly, and then said very respectfully in the direction of the north.

"Mr. Wu won the award. I am a junior and I don't understand many things, so I came here to ask Mr. Wu for advice."

Liu Jin smiled and replied, to preside over this Nanyang Township Examination, the support of Wu Yang, the parent official, must be indispensable. What's more, he is an old man, and with his help, he can feel at ease.

"Haha, Mr. Liu is being modest."

"Liu Gong is the number one scholar, so the mere provincial examination is nothing."

When Wu Yang heard this, he was very happy. This Liu Jin was easy to get along with, and he didn't act arrogantly because he was in a high position at a young age and was trusted by the emperor.

He is very humble and knows how to behave.

He calls himself a junior in front of him, which makes him face a lot.

"Wu Gong, I'm over the award, I'm over the award."

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head, how did he come to be the number one scholar, would he still not know?

Without the golden finger, I would not even be able to pass the provincial examination, let alone the number one examination.

After complimenting each other and being polite, they soon started talking about serious business.

"To be honest, the rural examination this time is still a bit too hasty."

"The situation on the Nanyang side, as you know, was only incorporated into our Ming Dynasty last year, and the Nanyang Province was officially established at the beginning of this year. Until now, I have barely set up complete prefectures and counties in various places, and have accepted orders from officials at all levels. , so that the court orders are unblocked."

"If you want to talk about the imperial examination, it's actually far from it."

"Here in Nanyang, all the state capitals have not yet held academic examinations, and they don't know the situation of each state capital."

"There are many state capitals, although the places are very large, but they are sparsely populated, and many state capitals are full of barbarians. My Ming people are relatively small, even if there are more Ming people in some places, but those who come to Nanyang are basically illiterate. , very few readers."

When it comes to science and technology exams, Wu Yang couldn't help complaining.

Nanyang does not have the conditions for the imperial examination at all. It is immature in all aspects. There are very few scholars and even few schools. How can this be the imperial examination?

"However, the imperial examination is a major matter of the imperial court, and it is His Majesty's grace to Nanyang. Therefore, even if there is no other way, we still have to find a way to run this provincial examination well."

He expressed his attitude, that is, he will fully support the provincial examination this time.

He has been here in Nanyang for almost a year, and he knows the situation in Nanyang very well.

The area under the jurisdiction of Nanyang Province is very large, with many islands, and the exchanges between various regions are all examination boats. The main economy here is plantation economy and mining economy.

Large and small plantations and mining farms are scattered all over the state capitals of the Nanyang Province. The Ming people and the Luzon people who belonged to them are mixed together, and the language has not yet been unified.

The local short black people have been wiped out in sevens and eighties. Although the remaining Luzon people are honest, there are very few people who can speak Ming dialect, let alone write Chinese characters.

This imperial examination is mainly aimed at the Daming people here in Nanyang Province, but it is also necessary to have some Luzon people to participate.
