Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 331 A vicious plan

"As an official, who can't be proficient in Confucian classics?"

Guo An said helplessly.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but said: "In the past, the teacher always said that the Confucian Highness is useless..."

Guo Andao: "We are afraid that you will be obsessed with Confucian classics all day, and neglect martial arts and arithmetic, and eventually become a nerd son.

We have to, we also told you that Confucian classics are useless, but we must also develop all-round development of Wenzhiwugong.

Nowadays, all officials are Confucianists, and they have to be proficient in Confucian classics, otherwise they will not be able to quarrel, and you will not understand when people scold you! "

"Students understand!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly.

Guo An looked at Zhu Di who was on the side again.

Zhu Di also nodded slightly, "That's it, according to Guo Qing's writing, all the craftsmen under my Yan Palace will be assessed and graded according to this!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An's face was slightly happy.

In Daming, craftsman is just a general term, but there are many kinds of craftsmen.

Carpenter, Sawmaker, Brickmaker, Blacksmith, Tailor, Painter, Bamboomaker, Tinsmith, Publisher, Founder, Curtainmaker, Gardener, Double Threadmaker, Shipwright, Stonemason, Silversmith, Drummaker, Piercing There are nearly 29 kinds of craftsmen, ink potters, barrel makers, five-ink makers, luan carpenters, cobblers, cabin craftsmen, kneaders, kneaders, paper makers, and glaze makers.

As for the number of craftsmen, according to court statistics, there are more than 20.

And the number of craftsmen under King Yan's Mansion is only over 700!

These 700 people are the largest productive forces in Yanwang Mansion, and they must be trained well!

……

"Craftsman training assessment system?"

Seeing the stack of papers Guo An handed them, Xu Yun, Zhuang Guang, Tao Yiping, Yang Ting and the others were all surprised.

"Guo Changshi, this..."

Guo An said quietly: "His Highness has agreed to what we have written. You are all skilled craftsmen, take a look and see if there are any omissions?
In the future, all the craftsmen under my Prince Yan's Mansion will have to follow this system to level up the ranks of craftsmen and distribute the salaries and benefits of craftsmen! "

"His Royal Highness has agreed?"

"Your Highness is wise! Guo Changshi is wise!"

Xu Yun, Zhuang Guang, Tao Yiping, Yang Ting and others were all excited.

"Guo Changshi, this system is perfect!"

"Very good! From now on, you will copy a few more copies of these systems and distribute them to all the workshops under my Prince Yan's mansion, so that those craftsmen will know about it.

However, no rumors are allowed! "

"Yes, Guo Changshi!"

"Then, find the craftsmen with the best skills in each workshop, and form an odd-numbered craftsman examiner with more than five people. You will personally assess and grade the craftsmen. No falsification is allowed!"

"Yes, Guo Changshi!"

"Everyone, Your Highness is wise and mighty. This is the time when craftsmen are flourishing, so we must do our best!"

"Guo Changshi, please rest assured, we will not disappoint His Highness and Guo Changshi!"

"So, let's go down and make arrangements!"

"Yes, Guo Changshi..."

Xu Yun, Zhuang Guang, Tao Yiping, Yang Ting and others soon went out with excitement on their faces. They wanted to gather all master craftsmen to implement this kind of rules and regulations.

There is no craftsman objection to the system written by Guo Anduo.

This hierarchical system is the embodiment of the value of their craftsmen.

Moreover, except for some craftsmen who are related and ready to eat and die, this craftsman system has increased the salary of any craftsman.

Soon, all the craftsmen in King Yan's Mansion were excited.

His Royal Highness King Yan is wise!

Guo Changshi is wise!

Blessed are their craftsmen!
However, no one knows these things except these craftsmen.

The artisan workshops under King Yan's Mansion are undergoing earth-shaking changes!
……

And Zhu Fu and other officials of the Chief History Department didn't bother to inquire about the changes in the various workshops below.

Because they are even more busy.

This time, though, it was cheerfully busy.

Jin Zhong is back!
To announce the good news to Zhu Di, I also want to ask for help!

"Your Highness, there are already six government officials who have surrendered to my country of Yan, and eighteen city lords who have also surrendered to my country.

Around Kaesong, there are already [-] cities, which belong to the Yan Kingdom!
Your Highness, with so many cities, I must be dispatched to govern them! "

"Thirty cities?"

Before Zhu Di could speak, Zhu Fu's eyes widened and he jumped up.

"How many officials are needed? Where do we get so many officials from Prince Yan's Mansion?"

Zhu Di and Guo An looked at Zhu Fu silently.

Zhu Fu's face froze and he said quickly: "Your Highness, there are only more than 30 scribes in the Changshi Division now. If all those scribes are sent to the Japanese country, there will be no one available for the humble ministers!"

Zhu Di frowned slightly, then looked at Guo An.

"There are still fewer officials available in the Palace of King Yan. I wonder if Guo Qing has a good idea?"

Guo An thought for a moment, then quickly said: "Your Highness, I feel that we can send five scribes from the Chief History Department!"

"Another five scribes will be transferred to Goryeo?"

Zhu Fu glanced directly, "Guo Changshi, you wander around the workshop all day, I don't know how busy the officials of our Changshi Department are these days!
If five more scribes were sent to Goryeo, wouldn't the old man be exhausted to death in the Changshi Department?

Moreover, those five scribes are a drop in the bucket for Goryeo, so what's the use? "

Guo An smiled lightly, and continued: "Zhu Changshi, what if after sending five scribes from the Changshi Department, recruit fifteen more scribes?"

Zhu Fu subconsciously looked at Zhu Di.Zhu Di nodded slowly, "Our family needs to train a large number of scribes, and we can recruit [-] scribes!"

Zhu Fu was overjoyed, and quickly said: "Don't worry, Your Highness. After I return, I will ask those clerks. Presumably, there will be many scribes who want to go to Korea to be an official, and they will be in charge of the government!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, then looked at Guo An again.

Guo An continued: "Your Highness, you can send a large ship to the Wa Kingdom, and transfer hundreds of officials and generals from the Wa Kingdom. Those officials and military officers who were exiled to the Wa Kingdom are enough to make up for the vacancies of Goryeo officials!"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, "Yes!"

Zhu Fu and Jin Zhong also nodded subconsciously.

Now, they finally know why Guo An suggested His Royal Highness King Yan to spend so much money to buy those officials and military officers who were about to die to Japan!

Moreover, His Highness also agrees.

Guo An continued: "Your Highness, since the nobles of Goryeo have begun to submit to my Yan Palace on a large scale, then my Yan Palace must give them something in return!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di, Zhu Fu and others all looked puzzled again.

"Guo Qing, how should I give back to them from Yan Palace? Could it be possible to reward those Korean nobles?"

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An actually nodded slightly.

Zhu Di, Zhu Fu and the others couldn't help feeling a little displeased.

Fortunately, Guo An continued: "Your Highness, those Korean nobles admire my Ming Confucian culture, like my Ming clothing and objects, and can give those Korean nobles a place to study in my Ming Dynasty.

Small Korean nobles can have two children from each family to study in Ming Dynasty.

As for the big Goryeo nobles, each family can have five children who come to study in the Ming Dynasty.

My Prince Yan's Mansion can allocate some houses to them, but they need to buy food, clothing, paper, ink, pens and inkstones by themselves! "

Zhu Di said thoughtfully: "Let these Goryeo nobles come to study in our Ming Dynasty? Guo Qing, but you want these Goryeo nobles to be used as hostages?"

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An flattered me.

However, he quickly said: "Your Highness, in fact, let these Korean nobles send their descendants to study in our Ming Dynasty, and let them see the prosperity and prosperity of our Ming Dynasty.

In this way, they must not dare to have any dissent. "

"In addition, everyone has a heart of admiration for strength. After seeing the strength of my Ming Dynasty, they will definitely be proud of my sons of the Yan Kingdom."

"At the same time, the fact that these Korean nobles come to study in our Ming Dynasty can also create a gap between the next generation of those Korean nobles."

"Also, when these nobles from Goryeo come to study in our Daming, what to let them study is all decided by my Yan Palace.

For example, His Highness can arrange for some old Confucian masters to instill in these Koryo aristocratic heirs the idea that they should always be loyal to my Yan Palace and Daming.

For these descendants of Goryeo nobles, I only hope that each of them will be mediocre and not talented..."

"In this way, when these descendants of the nobles of Korea who came to study in Ming Dynasty return to Korea, that will be the time when Korea will be safe and secure!"

Following Guo An's narration, Zhu Fu, Jin Zhong and the others could not help but slowly open their mouths wide, looking at the excited Guo An, they were shocked.

Zhu Di couldn't help but said: "Guo Qing is really evil!"

Zhu Fu and Jin Zhong nodded subconsciously. They didn't expect that Guo An, who was always harmless to humans and animals, would have such a vicious strategy?

They couldn't help but think of that Master Daoyan who always liked to go to and from the palace in silence!

Ok?
Zhu Fu and Jin Zhong were both subconsciously surprised. Master Daoyan also had a face full of charity all day long. How could he be someone like Guo Changshi?
Guo An continued: "Your Highness, I am not good at this matter. Zhu Changshi and Shizhong have read history books together, so there should be a better way."

Jin Zhong and Zhu Fu were stunned.

"Also, Master Daoyan is unparalleled in eloquence and proficient in Buddhist studies. He can also teach a large number of Buddhist classics to the descendants of Korean nobles!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up again.

On the side, Jin Zhong and Zhu Fu dared not say a word.

It turned out that the two of them were the most loyal and honest people in Yan Wangfu!

In fact, compared to other vassal kings, Yan Wangfu is already very huge.

At least one Yanwang mansion is worth three or four Qin and Jin mansions.

Following orders issued from Cunxin Palace, the entire Yanwang Mansion started to move again.

The five selected scribes happily followed Jin Zhong to Goryeo.

At the same time, there were two large ships heading towards the Japanese country.

The most sensational thing was that Shi Si, the head of Yan Wangfu, wanted to recruit scribes again.

Along with that, there is another piece of gossip.

The scribes recruited by the Chief History Department of King Yan's Mansion only need to stay in King Yan's Mansion for a year at most before they can go to Korea to be a magistrate or prefect!

Gossip will spread the fastest and be the most convincing.

In an instant, all the gentry and scholars in the entire Beiping Mansion were jealous.

Even if you go to Goryeo, you will still be the magistrate of a county or a state!

As long as one of their children goes there, why should their family be unhappy?

In less than a few days, the number of applicants for Yan Wangfu Chief Shi Si has reached hundreds.

Even, half of them are scholars from the academy.

"There are more than 230 scholars, and they want us to be the chief secretary of Yan Wangfu as a scribe?"

Hearing Zhu Fu's report, Zhu Di was overjoyed.

Similarly, Zhu Fu's face was also full of joy.
