Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 268
this time.

When the fleet arrived at Jianghua Port, no Japanese pirates came to harass them.

However, Zhu Di's sudden arrival and Guo An's return made a group of Korean nobles standing on the shore waiting for the fleet, as well as Sun Yan, Chang Guoting and others, all tensed up.

Hastily stepped forward to meet.

Zhu Di didn't pay attention to these, just dealt with it a few words, and then went straight to Kaesong.

In Kaesong.

Signs with Chinese characters are written everywhere, and under the signs are small Korean characters.

Similarly, many people are trying their best to speak Ming Dynasty official dialect.

In particular, many Korean people stumble even in ordinary everyday language.

However, every Korean is trying to speak in a serious manner, no one is mocking anyone, only envious of Da Ming's smooth speech.

"Father, these people speak Chinese even worse than my little sister!"

Only Zhu Gaochi, sitting in the carriage, looked at the stumbling Koreans speaking the official dialect of Ming Dynasty outside, with a playful smile on his face.

His younger sister is Zhu Di's fourth daughter, Zhu Zhiming, who is over four years old now.

"They have only just learned Chinese for a few months, so they are naturally not as good as Xiaoqi!"

Zhu Di, on the other hand, looked satisfied.

Although in less than 15 years, there will be nearly [-] Ming children in the entire Goryeoyan Kingdom, all of whom are from their own family.

However, if these original Koreans were allowed to learn to speak Daming official dialect, they would definitely gain a little more loyalty.

Thinking about it, Zhu Di turned his head and looked at Guo An who was beside him, "Guo Qing should be the first to make such a grand occasion in Yan State.

In this way, it only takes 30 years at most, and the Yan Kingdom from top to bottom will definitely become my Great Ming's Yan Kingdom. "

Guo An replied indifferently: "I just put forward a few suggestions. The specific matters are all up to Jin Zhong, Shang Kezhou, and Commander Chen and others to implement them. They should be the first ones."

"Get the book, get the book, each person can get a book of Ming Dynasty classics by virtue of their identity plate and passing the test..."

At this moment, there was a commotion outside.

Zhu Di, Guo An and others looked out through the window of the carriage.

Then, I saw a few slightly familiar scribes of King Yan's Mansion, that is, a few poor scholars from the academy, leading a team of soldiers, pulling a cart of classics, standing at a street corner, holding an iron horn and shouting loudly. road.

And those Yan Guo Koreans around them seem to have gotten used to this situation.

Those clerks shouted just now, and those Yan Guo Gaoli people held a palm-sized wooden sign in their hands and surrounded them.

Then, every Koryo native of Yan State introduced himself in Daming Mandarin, "I am from Yan State, what is my name, where do I come from..."

As long as they can speak it fluently, those Yan Guo Koreans can get a book.

As for what cannot be said, it cannot be received.

Afterwards, those Gaoli people in Yan State who received the classics ran home proudly, as if they were titled on the gold list.

Although separated by a long distance, Zhu Di and Guo An could still clearly see that those classics were all repeated.

Either "Historical Summary", or "Famous Things Mengqiu".

After he could no longer see those figures, Zhu Di asked curiously: "Guo Qing, this method of using enlightenment classics to encourage these Koreans to learn the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty was also proposed by Guo Qing?"

Guo An shook his head slightly, "Your Highness, this is what Jin Zhong's subordinate, a scribe named Pei Tianzhong, thought about.

It will not cost much money to print these enlightenment classics.Moreover, it can also motivate these Koreans to work hard to learn my Ming Mandarin.

Therefore, Wei Chen agreed! "

"Very good!"

Zhu Di was even more satisfied, "Nowadays, those humble scribes from the academy are playing an increasingly important role!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An said flatteringly.

Zhu Di was speechless, "Guo Qing, those scribes from poor families were the ones you built and cultivated in the academy, and they were summoned into my Yan Palace."

Guo An widened his eyes and looked at Zhu Di with an innocent face.

Afterwards, after thinking for a while, he said, "Without the trust and support of His Highness, even if I have great abilities, I can't build an academy, let alone cultivate so many talented people!"

Zhu Di said with emotion: "Many scholars nowadays only focus on studying the scriptures, studying how to get a good name in the exam, how to get promoted and make a fortune?
But they don't know how to do practical work, how to feed the common people, how to educate the barbarians..."

"Ugh!"

Guo An also subconsciously sighed, "What Your Highness said is absolutely true, they have all become tools for studying, and are no longer real people.

Their thinking has been solidified, and they only have fame and fame in their eyes. They only think about how to read books and how to make those classics bring them benefits.

But I have forgotten that when the ancient sages wrote classics, their original intention was to broaden the wisdom of the people and make people full of wisdom, not to be a tool for classics! "

"Tool man?"

Zhu Di pondered for a while, then he understood a little bit, and smiled lightly.

"So, Guo Qing set a rule for the students of the academy, how many days do all the students have to practice every month?"

Guo An nodded, "Your Highness, the principles of how everything works in this world are full of wisdom.

It's a pity that those gentry and sons of wealthy businessmen consciously stand above the clouds, disdain to look down at the things on the ground, and the humble officials can only let them go. "

Zhu Di said again: "According to Guo Qing's wisdom, these poor students, especially Chang Guoting and Shang Kezhou, can be admitted to Juren, or even Jinshi."

Guo An glanced at Zhu Di strangely, "His Royal Highness, if they all pass the exam, who will the Chief of Yan Palace, Shi Si, call as an official?"

Zhu Di couldn't help being taken aback.

Guo An continued: "However, the treatment given to them by His Highness is already very good.

Not only do they have beautiful concubines in Korea, but they can also make a lot of money, and they can also give full play to their talents and let their ideas govern Korea.

In this case, I am afraid that they will not be treated like this if they are admitted to the Jinshi, or even the number one scholar, and enter the Imperial Academy. "

indeed.

At this time, in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang still paid more attention to the ability of those Jinshi to govern the people and handle affairs.

Even when Zhu Di came to power, he still valued ability and loyalty. The most obvious example is that Jin Zhong, a scribe of Yan Wangfu who has no reputation, can also jump up and become the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Zhu Di still wanted to continue to say something, but the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the palace.

Jin Zhong, Chen Shou and others, who had just been informed by Kuai Ma, led all the officials from all over Kaesong, and stood at the gate with solemn faces to welcome them.

"My minister, Chen Shou, welcomes His Royal Highness, welcomes His Royal Highness!"

"My minister Jin Zhong welcomes His Royal Highness, welcomes His Royal Highness!"

"A humble minister can still be Zhou..."

"Get up."

Zhu Di exchanged pleasantries with Jin Zhong, Chen Shou and others with a gentle face, and then led Zhu Gaochi into the hall.

Inside the hall.

Zhu Di still listened to Chen Shou, Jin Zhong, and Bian Anlie's report on the situation of the entire Yan Kingdom with a gentle face.

That night.

Zhu Di held a banquet in the palace to reward Chen Shou, Jin Zhong, Bian Anlie and other Korean officials.

Chen Shou, Bian Anlie and others breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, His Royal Highness King Yan probably did not come to inquire about the crime...

The next day.

Zhu Di summoned Chen Shou, Xu Xiang, Sun Yan, Wu Yuanhe and other generals to the palace.

The first sentence made Guo An stare.

"This king came here specially to inspect Goryeo this time, just to see, have you been hollowed out by those Goryeo girls? Or have your guts been sucked away by those Goryeo girls?"

Hearing this, Chen Shou, Xu Xiang and other generals immediately exploded as if they had been greatly humiliated.

"Your Highness, the last general is still as strong as an ox, and can defeat a hundred with one!"

"As long as His Royal Highness orders the flag to point, the last general will surely charge into the formation and capture the flag without frowning."

"Exactly, Your Highness clearly learned that the last general and others beheaded the flag..."

"Really?"

Zhu Di sneered, "We heard that the majestic Yanshan Guard, with nearly ten thousand soldiers, steel armor and steel knives, as well as sharp weapons such as grenades and incendiary bombs, let a mere one or two thousand Japanese pirates wantonly plunder...

The mere Japanese pirates have come to humiliate them, and none of our generals and soldiers dare to destroy them.

After hearing this, we are ashamed!
Fortunately, this happened in Koryo. If it happened in Daming, we would have no face to face our father, and our generals in Daming!
......"

Zhu Di also prepared dozens of sarcasm, but did not continue.

Because, at this moment, Chen Shou, Xu Xiang and other generals were kneeling on the ground with blushing faces.

"The end will be guilty!"

"Your Highness, please punish me!"

"Punishment?"

Zhu Di's expression became solemn, and he stared closely at Chen Shou and other generals for a while, then his expression suddenly eased.

"We originally thought that our military generals were all addicted to the gentleness of Goryeo girls, and they no longer had the courage to draw knives and fight Japanese pirates.

But now it seems that you still have the blood of my Ming soldiers.

In this way, we can rest assured! "

Hearing this, Chen Shou, Xu Xiang and others looked happy.

But immediately afterwards, Zhu Di said again: "From now on, all the Yanshan guards guarding the country of Yan must stand up and practice martial arts!"

"The last will obey!"

Chen Shou and other generals felt bitter, but they still answered quickly.

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and said again: "Winter this year, or spring next year, send four thousand troops to attack Japan!"

"The end will obey orders!"

Chen Shou, Xu Xiang and other generals were overjoyed and their spirits lifted.

Attacking Japanese pirates not only means military exploits, but also countless wealth.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the last general and others will surely conquer the Japanese kingdom!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "Wait until I restore my Yanshanwei's bloodiness first."

Chen Shou, Xu Xiang and the others fell silent for a moment.

Zhu Di came to inspect the country of Yan this time because of Chen Shou, the generals guarding the country of Yan in Koryo.

Therefore, after severely reprimanding these generals.

Then Shen Jinzhong, Chang Guoting, Shang Kezhou and other civil officials were summoned again.

This time, it was directly a reward.

Under the influence of Guo An, each civil official was rewarded with 100 taels and 50 taels in different grades.

Then, according to the contribution of each civil servant, rewards will be given.

Especially the scribe Pei Tianzhong received a total of 150 taels of silver as a reward this time, which made the scribes at the same level turn red with envy.

The entire civil service system was greatly encouraged.

As for generals like Chen Shou and Xu Xiang, they were naturally full of anger and their eyes were red with envy.

However, neither Guo An nor Zhu Di can be blamed for this matter.As generals, it was their fault that they were repeatedly bullied by mere pirates.

Even if it is, they have their own thoughts on this matter.

I can only vent my anger on those soldiers!

As a result, some Korean nobles, after seeing Chen Shou and other Ming soldiers starting martial arts drills early in the morning, and the murderous scene, all of them turned pale with fright, and began to feel a little uneasy.

I'm afraid that this is because King Yan is dissatisfied with them and wants to mobilize troops against them!
