Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 300 Only by building roads can you get rich!

"In this case, will the price be high?"

"Local landlords take out the money, and then the palace unifies it. This can greatly reduce local financial resources."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, his eyes shining. If a government school could be established, these rich people would be happy to see it.

He murmured to himself: "Zhu Tuo is such a long-term thinker. Very good, very good, very good. He is a good heir."

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty was not only due to their own stupidity, but more importantly, they were not well educated.

If the people are in dire straits, how long can the court last?
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "Step back."

"Where am I going?" Liu Sanwu said blankly: "Do you want to go back?" "

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he winked at Liu Sanwu and said, "You invigilators should leave too."

"Then, I will issue an imperial edict and announce that this time the imperial examination will be divided into two lists, and the ten best students will be selected from each list. This is the first list from south to north in the history of Ming Dynasty. The exam also started from that day."

Liu Sanwu quickly knelt on the ground and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

The rest is easy to handle.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the supreme being in the Ming Dynasty. Once he made up his mind about something, only Queen Ma could convince him, and no one else, not even Zhu Biao, could do it.

It is said that when Princess Ma died, Zhu Yuanzhang was so distraught that he cried and cried for three days and three nights.

Hu Weiyong and several other founding generals cried bitterly for five days and nights.

He spent more than ten years building a huge country with blood and blood, and then spent more than 30 years governing the country, making him the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang first ordered Jin Yiwei to arrest a group of scholars from the north and accuse them of framing him.

The targets of the accusation are all ministers of the DPRK. Once convicted, the consequences will be execution and exile.

Then, they uncovered a group of southern scholars and said that they had been falsely accused of cheating in the imperial examinations. Although they denied it in every possible way, they were all severely beaten by the imperial guards. Some of them signed their confessions after being tortured. Character.

These two pieces of news shocked the scholars in the entire capital.

After being beaten to a bloody head, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally had to throw a big head, so he ordered to let the people know about it.

From now on, there will be two lists, and the best ten people will be selected from the two lists.

As soon as this decree came out, scholars in the north and south fell silent and accepted it silently.

"..."

In May, it rains continuously.

On the bank of the Qinhuai River, a large ship about four feet high sailed slowly by. This large ship was clean and had no unnecessary items. There was a flag on it, fluttering in the wind.

Huang Zicheng, wearing a simple robe and a wide hat, was standing at the port, looking back at the prosperous scene in the distance, somewhat lost in thought.

Since he became a scholar in the 18th year of Hongwu's reign, he has been living in Nanjing and can be regarded as an out-and-out person.

Originally, he thought that he would stay here forever and fulfill his wish. Then, when the emperor's grandson ascends the throne, he, as a national advisor, can use his talents to change the Ming Dynasty.

Alas, it’s all over!

Never come back.When he thought of this, his eyes became moist, and the gray hair on his temples trembled slightly.

He was involved in a brothel incident, and led the civil and military forces of the dynasty to force the emperor to abdicate, and almost killed the emperor. Fortunately, when Prince Su appeared, he rescued these innocent ministers and at the same time saved himself. life.

But Zhang Yu's end was very tragic. Because of Zhu Yuanzhang, his whole family was executed.

After Zhu Yunxuan's pleading, he finally had the qualifications to resign. He fired all his servants, sold everything he owned, and then prepared to take his family back to his hometown.

Huang Zicheng took a step forward and was about to enter the flying boat when he suddenly heard someone calling him. He looked back and couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Majesty, I'm fine. I'll just leave on my own."

Zhu Yunzhi took a step closer and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do anyway, so I'm here to see you off."

"Yeah." Su Qingsang responded.Huang Zicheng nodded, looked at Zhu Yunxuan's young face, sighed softly, and said: "I originally thought that I could stay with the prince forever, but now, it can't be done. Alas, not only did I not help the prince, but I also delayed him. Hit his hind legs."

"I know you are very kind to me." Zhu Yunxuan shook his head, "Originally, I was going to meet Mr., but this competition is really unexpected. I'm afraid it will affect Mr., so I will come in person for this competition. I’m going to see you off, sir.”

"Old minister, I know...I heard that this time the North and South rankings were proposed by Prince Su?" Huang Zicheng suddenly said.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Not bad."

Hearing this, Huang Zicheng fell into deep thought for a rare moment. The name "Su Wang" was like a boulder weighing on their hearts. Originally, they planned to remove it, but now?
He has accepted his fate.

"Prince Su is also good. Annan Qitai recently sent a letter saying that Annan has completely surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. The Chen family wants to marry the Ming Dynasty and become my permanent minister of the Ming Dynasty."

“Besides, King Su will not involve anyone.

He will scold you and torture you, but when he is done venting, he will let you go, which is different from our emperor.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I know." Zhu Yunxuan raised his head and looked into the distance, sighing softly: "Although I am extremely talented, I am not as good as you after all."

It was still raining outside. A carriage stopped in front of Prince Xiao's mansion. Several people wearing hats walked out of it and knocked on the door. When the door opened, they walked in.

"Why is it so mysterious? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that I was planning something evil."

These people are all old acquaintances of Zhu Tuo from Jin. One is Li Su, the other is Zhang Erniu, and there is a wealthy businessman named Zhu Tuo. These people took off their straw hats and greeted him with a smile. .

"Prince Su, I did this just to cover up." Li Su clasped his fists and said with a smile.

"What are you hiding? Even if you see it, so what?" Zhu Tuo said lightly, and then asked: "You two, I wonder why you two came here this time?"

Li Su replied: "It was Commander-in-Chief of Lanzhou who asked us to come here this time. Commander-in-Chief of Lanzhou has been to Jin for more than a year. The situation in Jin has improved a lot. A large number of goods from Mongolia have flowed in, making the folk customs here better and better. .”

"In addition, the conscription system implemented by His Majesty is also being implemented one by one. At the beginning, civilians did not want to join the army, but as they continue to brainwash, ah, it is propaganda, coupled with the increase in military expenditures, now there are Many people joined the army.”

"Isn't this good?" Zhu Tuo said in surprise.

"Yes, the land of Jin is already prosperous now, but there is one thing I want to ask the prince."

"Really? What's wrong?"

"My lord, my servant, Yang Bo, is the head of the Chamber of Commerce in Jin."

Zhu Tuo looked at Li Su with a blank look on his face.
