Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 332
"Your Highness, among the 230 scholars, there are still ten Juren and forty scholars!"

"Don't bother with this!"

Zhu Di said: "We, the scribes in Prince Yan's Mansion, will all go to Korea or Japan to serve as officials in the future, and they must be proficient in arithmetic and government affairs.

Therefore, even if they are juren, if they can only boast, or their minds are rigid, and they can't handle any government affairs, they can only become school teachers at best.

No... no teacher in the school is qualified for this kind of person! "

Zhu Fu looked straight, and bowed his hands to Zhu Di, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely select the most capable talents for the family."

"Trouble Zhu Changshi!"

Zhu Di said.

"It's my honor to be able to select talented people for the Yan Palace!"

A touch of emotion flashed across Zhu Fu's eyes, and then he remembered something, and said again: "Your Highness, it's just that there are more than 200 scholars this time, so I would like to ask Guo Changshi not to be lazy again!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "I will instruct Guo Qing on this matter!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

……

Before the New Year's Eve, Yanwang Mansion was very busy up and down.

To give tens of thousands of Yanshan Guards, there is also a kind of officials, servants, who distribute benefits and salaries.

As for the palace, there are still various relatives who need to give gifts.

Therefore, the recruitment of scribes can only be scheduled after the New Year.

And the exam for recruiting scribes was actually not that grand.

First, the top ten questions about arithmetic and account books are given, and then the top ten questions about governing the country and the people are given. As long as these scholars have read the Confucian classics thoroughly, know how to govern the country and the people, and have a theoretical basis; they can also use numbers to do arithmetic. Quickly calculate and view account books.

Then, these people are considered to have passed the written test.

Next, is the actual interview.

Zhu Di, king of Yan, sits on top, and Zhu Fu and Guo An sit on the left and right.

"If someone dares to embezzle and accept bribes, and make false records on the account books, as the chief official, how should I deal with it?"

"Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty..."

"Be straightforward!"

"Um...Your Highness, the students will immediately imprison him, check all the books related to the corrupt official, interrogate him, and recover the dirty money..."

"Hmph, as long as it is found out that the thief official dared to embezzle and accept bribes, we should directly confiscate his family property, arrest his family members, and strictly prevent their family members from transferring their property away.

In addition, ask his accomplice again, and then copy his accomplice's property..."

"Students know!"

"If you are asked to be a magistrate of Goryeo, and there are Goryeo nobles who refuse to obey discipline, how should they be punished?"

"Your Highness, the students will blame him and explain the reasoning. If the reasoning doesn't make sense, when the Goryeo family commits illegal acts, send troops to arrest..."

"Yes! However, those Goryeo people are cunning and treacherous. You need to find a few examples of the same families from some classics, tell them the final tragic results of those families, and tell them that they do not respect me, Prince Yan. What consequences will there be!
If they are still stubborn, they will directly sue the state government, and the state government will punish them, cut off their family's wealth, and destroy their family..."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"If there is a talented person in Korea, as the chief officials, what will you do..."

"..."

For the interviews of these scholars who have passed the written test, basically Zhu Di is alone in the interview.

After those scholars finished answering, Zhu Di actually gave the answer.

On both sides, Guo An and Zhu Fu were in charge of scoring.

And Zhu Di will also give points.

Finally, the scores of the three are averaged for ranking.

As for the interviewing scholars, when they finished answering Zhu Di's question and walked out of the hall, their faces were full of bewilderment.

Are you going to treat those Koreans so harshly?Or is it such a straightforward threat?Take the laws and classics of the Ming Dynasty and tell the consequences to those Korean nobles who made mistakes?
Then, send troops to arrest...?
As for corrupt officials, as long as they are found, they will ransack their homes and exterminate their families... Is this an exam or a warning to them?
"Brother Li, I don't know what problems His Highness has with Zhu Changshi and Guo Changshi?"

"Indescribable!"

"what?"

At this time, several fierce Yanshan guards came over.

"Scholars who come out quickly go out and don't talk to others. Otherwise, they will be disqualified from the exam!"

"Yes Yes……"

a few days later.

After the interview, the list of the top [-] came out.

Everyone's scores are posted outside Yanwang Palace.

At the same time, twenty riders rushed out from the Yan Palace and headed towards the states and counties of Beiping Prefecture.

When they learned that the scholars and scholars who had been admitted were overjoyed, the house was beating gongs and drums, and the excitement was no less lively than that of Zhongju.

As for those who were not admitted, they could only look helpless, looking at the festive courtyard in the distance, with a hint of envy.

Similarly, when the newly promoted [-] scribes of Yan Wangfu were celebrating.

In the various workshops under King Yan's Mansion, some craftsmen are also celebrating.

The grading system for more than 700 craftsmen was also quietly completed during this period of time.

Currently, there are only five level five craftsmen, Tao Yiping and Yang Ting.

The rest, fourth-level craftsmen, are also very few.

Third-level craftsmen are the most, and the rest are second-level, first-level craftsmen!
……

Wait until February.Zhu Di followed Zhu Yuanzhang's edict and led the army of Beiping Mansion to attack the barbarian tribes.

And in Beipingfu.

Guo An is not idle either.

He taught those artisans.

However, Guo An's teaching is different from that of ordinary masters.

Instead, directly use an object on paper to tell those craftsmen what is the use of that object and how to make it?
As for whether the craftsmen could understand it, Guo An didn't care.

Instead, he kept talking, he just needs to let these craftsmen listen to the world and open their minds.

With the development of craftsmanship, you can use wind, rain, thunder and lightning to create all kinds of magical things!
Traveling thousands of miles a day, transmitting messages thousands of miles away, seeing people thousands of miles away, you can reduce them to a piece of paper...

These are all fantasy to those craftsmen.

For Tao Yiping and Yang Ting, they directly regard Guo An as a god.

After passing through the steam engine, they believed that the gods that their master said could not exist in reality really existed.

Therefore, although the two of them could not understand a word of the objects and knowledge that Guo An said.

However, he still stared, listened with excitement, and memorized it by rote, and at the same time asked the apprentices the two of them were leading not to be distracted!
Seeing such a group of hard-working and studious craftsmen, Guo An was filled with excitement.

I couldn't help but tell more.

These craftsmen thoroughly understood the erudition and madness of Guo Changshi, whom they had always admired.

And just two months after Guo An gave lectures to these craftsmen, the changes in the workshop system of Prince Yan's Mansion were finally exposed in front of Zhu Fu who was free.

Zhu Fu's face was gloomy, "Guo Changshi, a group of craftsmen, no matter how good they are, not only can they all read and write, but there is also a rating system, salaries and benefits have also been improved...

Guo Qing, as the Chief History Officer of the Chief History Department of King Yan's Palace, all the scribes in the Chief History Department are not as good as those craftsmen's salaries and benefits! "

Guo An couldn't help but widen his eyes, "When did Zhu Changshi learn to open his eyes and tell nonsense? Which scribe in my Yan Palace is not as good as those craftsmen's salary and benefits?"

Zhu Fu said: "I, the heir of a scribe in Prince Yan's Mansion, don't have any special elementary school to enroll in!"

Guo Andao said: "Aren't all the scribes in Prince Yan's Mansion eligible to study at the academy?"

Zhu Fu continued: "That is our Beiping City, or all school-age children in Beiping Prefecture can enter school!"

Guo An was speechless, "Zhu Changshi is so narrow-minded, he can still drive away other children. Isn't it only the children of the scribes in my Beiping Mansion?"

Zhu Fu looked annoyed, "Is this old man that kind of person?"

Guo An said quietly, "Isn't it just for this matter that Zhu Changshi called me all the way here?"

"My officer..."

Zhu Fu was out of breath, but soon calmed down, and said calmly, "Guo Changshi, I have something important to discuss with you!"

"His Royal Highness King Yan is not here, and Zhu Changshi is respected in the Changshi Division. Why does Zhu Changshi look for me? I am still busy telling those craftsmen some knowledge of physics and chemistry!"

"Physical Chemistry?"

Zhu Fu was taken aback, and then asked with a puzzled look: "Guo Changshi, what kind of learning is this? Why don't you talk about this kind of knowledge to the scholars in the academy, so that those craftsmen can understand it?"

"Can't understand!"

Guo Andao, "However, those craftsmen are willing to listen! As for the scholars in the academy, all of them are distinguished Confucian disciples who aim at fame and fortune. How can they value such practical knowledge?"

Zhu Fu pretended not to hear Guo An's words, and continued to ask: "Since craftsmen can understand it, how can physics and chemistry be knowledge? Presumably, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"..."

Guo An frowned slightly, glanced at Zhu Fu who was full of curiosity, and sighed softly.

"Zhu Changshi, do you know that sound travels fastest in water, steel, or air?"

"Zhu Changshi knows what thermal conductivity is?"

"Zhu Changshi knows, why do rivers and streams flow from high mountains to low-lying areas?"

"Does Zhu Changshi know why there are always patterns in the time of day and night?"

"Zhu Changshi knows why wood and charcoal can be burned, but steel can't?"

"Guo Changshi knows..."

"This……"

The more he listened, the bigger Zhu Fu's eyes widened.

"What kind of weird science is this?"

"Tsk!"

Guo An couldn't help but sneered: "Dare to ask Zhu Changshi, which of these knowledge is not the most common thing in our life? How did it become a strange science?"

A trace of helplessness flashed in Zhu Fu's eyes, he shouldn't be around this Guo Changshi, after all, he is such a simple and honest person, he definitely can't get around this Guo Changshi.

"Guo Changshi, Meng Sheng once said that it should be set up as a Xiangxu school to teach it, so that everyone in the world can accept enlightenment, and all people can understand morality and ethics."

Guo An said directly: "What Meng Sheng said is very true, so I have expanded the artisan school for the artisans in the mansion.

After all, they worked hard all day, made so many utensils for my Yan Palace, and earned so much money for my Yan Palace, they should have such benefits! "

Zhu Fu pretended not to hear, and said: "Nowadays, my Prince Yan's Mansion has only one elementary school in Beiping Mansion, and my Prince Yan Mansion has a lot of money, so we should build several elementary schools!"

"Construction of Mengxue?"

Guo An was taken aback for a moment, and it was still a bit inconceivable that he caused me so much trouble just because of this matter?

Zhu Fu said with a straight face: "Guo Changshi, a Mongolian school doesn't cost much money.

Even if it is the money to expand the craftsman school, more than ten elementary schools can be built! "

Guo An said: "I agree!"
