Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 206 Gu Zhongren

Zhu Yuansi arrived at Houhu Medical College at the right time, and it was close to noon when he left, less than two hours.

Think of it as the end of the day's work.

Ok……

Compared with a workaholic who only sleeps for four hours a day for decades, he can't compete!
Back home, eat, dance, sleep.

It was a pretty good day, and I woke up in the evening again, this time in the East Garden Main House.

Ugh.

For two hours, I felt guilty.

So I plan to do more.

Liu Bai sent in a stack of paperwork, mainly a record and two posts, and opened it with vigor.

The former is visitor registration.

The fact that Zhu Yuan seldom receives guests does not mean that there are no guests here.

On the contrary, much more.

Thinking about the bad habits of the seventh-rank officials in the prime minister's concierge, Zhu Yuan arranged a registration system by referring to it later.Whether seen or not, visitors are registered, and certain possible deceptions are avoided.

There are still a lot of people trying to get in today.

Wenzhou Haishang Pool Classic, I have a little impression.This is the 'legal person' of one of the ten private maritime trade licenses.He said that he heard that Zhu Yuan was in poor health and happened to be in Jinling on business, so he came to visit him.

Huai'an scholar Meng Zai, the candidate this time.Asking for advice, obviously, trying to get around,
Qingniang's daughter green tea, um... mess around.

Tu Bi, the master of the state, is Tu Xiao's father. He sent a set of ancient geography books "Yugong Region Map" from the Jin Dynasty. The message was entrusted by his son. Qizhi can only greet you.

……

……

Zhu Yuan quickly browsed through and remembered about [-] groups of people, most of whom he didn't know.

In the end, I returned my attention to Tu Bi, thinking about it for a while... I was worried that I was being overwhelmed, maybe others were really just greeting... However, if Tu Bi had a heartbeat, it was not impossible for me to help.

Jinling University...

No.

It's not just Jinling University, it should be said that the education system of Ming Dynasty, next, there are many "holes".

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yuan didn't bother to inquire, and planned to arrange Tu Bi according to his own understanding.Of course, if you guess wrong and the other party refuses and insists on staying in the Imperial College, that's not a problem.

Only then turned to two posts.

This is also included in the registration list. One is the servant of Hu Weiyong, the deputy envoy of the Quanzhou Yinghai Branch, named Hu Da, who said he came to deliver some official documents.

In addition, there is a private letter and a gift list.

The content of the letter is probably to greet Zhu Yuan, good health and all the best.

The gift list is not long.

500 taels of gold, ten dendrobium pearls, a pair of corals, a painting of Wang Wei's "Snow Stream", and a set of "Six Volumes of the Tang Dynasty".

After reading the gift list, Zhu Yuan couldn't help but curl his mouth.

Is this considered to be a higher grade than Zuo Xiang? I remember that Zuo Xiang is only 'three hundred gold'.

After closing the gift list, Zhu Yuan asked Liu Bai, "Still waiting?"

Liu Bai nodded: "He's in the concierge."

Zhu Yuan ordered the gift list: "Keep Wang Wei's paintings and that set of books, and let He Xuan pass a message to the visitors: Do things with peace of mind."

In fact, I probably understand that this time, Hu Weiyong... obviously came here for the vacant Yinghai envoy.

However, not to mention that Hu Weiyong is not the person who is my intention, even if I really recommend it, it is impossible for Lao Zhu to pass that level.

Because of "Book from Heaven", someone must have registered with Lao Zhu.

With Lao Zhu's narrow-mindedness, even if it is an event in another time and space, this time, it is inevitable to "settle accounts after autumn", and Hu Weiyong's fate is hard to say.Zhu Yuan had no intention of changing this.

Focus on yourself.

Leaving blank to spread the word, Zhu Yuan opened another post.

From Gu Zhongren.

This is to deliver the self-introduction I said yesterday. In addition to the post, there are seven accompanying manuscripts.

However, Zhu Yuan noticed one thing at a glance, Gu Zhongren came over yesterday...but the farewell, this, is he not leaving?Remembering yesterday that he asked Gu Zhongren to recommend some business talents, Zhu Yuan suddenly understood.

This is because I moved my heart and wanted to rush forward.

Leave blank be back soon.

Zhu Yuan stood up, knowing that Gu Zhongren was waiting outside, he gestured to the post in his hand, and said, "See you."

"It's too late," Liu Bai advised, seeing that his lord insisted, he had to take a fur to help him put it on, and said: "I just ordered people to burn the ground dragon in the main hall of the second courtyard at any time. , so that adults don’t have time to send warmth.”

Zhu Yuan thought of how cold he was when meeting guests there yesterday, so he nodded without any objection.

If it was Lao Zhu, he would definitely not be able to stand the big house where the earth dragons were burning from time to time.

waste!

However, on my own side, waste is a waste.If there is something wrong with the freeze, it will cost more.

Out of the room here, boarded the sedan chair, thought of one, called Liu Bai to come in temporarily, and waited for the sedan chair to move forward, while talking about the matter of recruiting disciples that Sun Shouzhen mentioned in the morning.

After hearing this, Liu Bai shook his head: "I... I don't want my brother to be a doctor."

Zhu Yuan understood instantly.

There is only one seedling of Sang Di left in the Sang family. Probably, the girls around him also think that he can have a better future, and in this day and age, doctors do not have a good future.

So no more words.

More in the future.

Regarding this kind of thing, Zhu Yuan actually mentioned to Lao Zhu that even medical students, as long as they have the ability, can use it informally, and it's not just used in Taiyuan Hospital.

This is to prevent Confucianism from becoming dominant again.

Zhu Yuan respects Confucianism and understands the great historical significance of this doctrine to China's inheritance, but at the same time, he also knows its drawbacks.The main reason is that no matter how good the knowledge is, it must be carried by people. If there is a problem with the person who carries it, big problems will inevitably arise no matter how good the knowledge is.

Come to the front hall.

It was indeed much warmer here than yesterday morning.

It was getting late, and the lights had already been lit.

Gu Zhongren was brought here, met the ceremony, and after sitting down, his expression was somewhat unnatural.

Early this morning, two relatives, Chai Guinian and Cui Jinxian, had already left with Li Gui. Originally, the three families planned to entrust the younger generations to the care of Gu Liuxiao, the sixth younger brother of the Gu family who participated in the imperial examination. When Zhu Yuan came yesterday, As usual, he was polite and asked to stay, and Gu Zhongren even explained it specially.

just now……

Embarrassing.

However, for the sake of the future, this can't be taken care of.

Zhu Yuan flipped through the self-introductions of the three children on the spot, and asked with a smile: "Speaking of which, Lao Gu, you should have read books, why don't you take part in the imperial examination together this time and show off your skills?"

When Gu Zhongren heard this, he also regretted it.

In the past, the imperial court kept explicitly and implicitly lowering the standards of the imperial examination, so that when the exam was approaching, when the news became more and more certain, thousands of people signed up temporarily, and it was even heard that some servants who came to accompany the exam quietly signed up , so the total number of final exams was pushed up to 16000.However, Gu Zhongren always felt that this was most likely an act of the Xinchao to win people's hearts, coupled with various scruples, he has never been tempted.

Who could have imagined the present?
Of course, Gu Zhongren also understood the truth. If he had participated in the imperial examination, no matter how good his grades were, it would be more legitimate for Zhu Yuan to use him.

It's too late to regret now.

This imperial examination, at least once a few years.

Seeing that Gu Zhongren was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, Zhu Yuan stopped embarrassing him and asked directly: "You are mainly in charge of your family's business affairs, right?"

Seeing that Zhu Yuan didn't say much about something, Gu Zhongren relaxed, and when he heard this question, he shook his head: "My brother is the head of the clan, and he talks more about business in the clan." After speaking, he couldn't help but add: "The villain... is also very involved."

After reading Gu Liuxiao's self-introduction, Zhu Yuan changed to the next one, saying: "I really need people to do things here, but let's open the skylight and speak honestly. Although there has always been a saying of 'promotion and wealth', you should When you become an official, you can no longer think about money, and if you are bigger, you can only serve the country and the people wholeheartedly, can it be done?"

"It's natural," Gu Zhongren wanted to get up subconsciously, and reluctantly held back, assuring: "The villain's family is also considered to have little property, so don't be greedy anymore. If... If you can use it, you will concentrate on repaying it."

Zhu Yuan nodded: "Everyone is a sensible person. With an official status, for yourself, honor your ancestors and leave a name in history, and for your family, this is also a talisman. As long as you walk safely, the Gu family can also walk in the future. It's safe. And all I want is for you to do things well."

Gu Zhongren couldn't hold back this time, and finally got up, bowed his head and said: "If you can be promoted by an adult, the villain will definitely die in return."

"Sit down, needless to say it's so heavy, I don't have such high expectations," Zhu Yuan changed another self-introduction, and said: "There are many projects now, and there are three that are suitable for you, Daming Iron and Steel Group, Daming Coal Group , Daming Paper Group, you choose one."

Gu Zhongren was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "But it's up to the adults to arrange."

"Then Daming Paper Group, the other two, because they are too important and there are many people staring at them, you will be white after all, and it will be difficult to use it if you suddenly squeeze in," Zhu Yuan said: "Daming Paper Group, listen to the name , you should understand what you do, um... the specific position, I still want to mention it to my ancestors when I have time, don't think about it for the time being, but because I want to build a paper-making system with unified management but not too centralized , mainly in the Zhili area of ​​the capital, there will be a lot of things, and you need to travel around."

Gu Zhongren was still very straightforward, and with a smile, he said: "The villain also understands that when you become an official, you are not afraid of having too many things to do, but you are afraid of having nothing to do."

Zhu Yuan also smiled: "Very well, you are also a transparent person."

After chatting like this, Zhu Yuan read seven self-introductions one after another, and the topic changed accordingly.
