I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 473 Two chess pieces

Zhu Yijiong's establishment of literary inquisition is only the first step. The next step is to strictly investigate and fight corruption and clean up the administration of officials. There are still many people to be arrested next.

It just so happens that the official immigration to Liaodong is still too slow.

Although there are good policies, people are generally unwilling to give up their existing land and go to the bitter cold land of Liaodong to open up wasteland.

After all, life is getting better and better now. Even if there are occasional corrupt officials in the local area, most of them will not go too far. Otherwise, if trouble occurs, their political performance will be damaged.

At present, the Han people immigrated to Liaodong by the imperial court are only willing to go as far as the border towns of the Great Wall. If they want to immigrate to the outside of the Great Wall to reclaim wasteland, few people are willing to go.

The Han population in Saarhu was basically the Eight Banners serfs who were there originally, and some officials split the Han population from the Manchus into the Han Dynasty.

But fortunately, there are so many criminals brought by the Literary Prison. Even if the evidence of the crime is conclusive and the crimes are serious before the three tribes are sentenced to exile, it can bring at least [-] immigrants to Sarhu at one time.

Unless the cabinet discovered that there were too many people involved, and therefore advised the emperor to appropriately reduce the crimes involved, those who were not involved deeply, or even just implicated, would be given lighter sentences or acquitted.

Otherwise, the exiled population would definitely be much larger, perhaps even hundreds of thousands.

You know, the local government was under pressure, but many "accomplices" were arrested. Some of these "accomplices" were just involved, and some were simply in the auditorium of the court, and they were sentenced smoothly.

Huagai Palace.

The emperor finally summoned the new scholars to meet with him.

Since the Chuanlu Ceremony was forced to end hastily that day, these new scholars had been waiting in the official residence in Nanjing for a long time, and today they finally got to see the emperor.

Regarding the emperor's establishment of literary inquisition, the new scholars had no trouble at all, not to mention that it was all the fault of those scholars. They were now new scholars and would soon be promoted to bureaucrats.

Who cares about the life and death of a group of failed scholars with empty fame and no official status?
"Meet Your Majesty."

270 Three new scholars came together to pay homage to the emperor.

"No courtesy, please stay flat!" Zhu Yijiong said with a smile.

With just one glance, he could see Wu Jingzi, one of His Highness's new scholars, standing to the right of Deng Qiyuan, the number one scholar.

Wu Jingzi was not very familiar with Shengping Zhu Yijiong, but he had read "The Scholars". Although it was not much, he still remembered clearly who the author was.

Moreover, he was also the top pick in high school. The article was thought-provoking. Needless to say, he must be the author of "The Scholars", not a famous person.

However, now that Zhu Yijiong saw the author of "The Scholars", he just took a second look.

After all, after being the emperor for so many years, my mentality is not as smooth as it is in ancient times, but I am not that excited: "You new scholars are originally talents of the country. But this time, it was because of those crazy scholars who were bold and knocked on the wall for no reason. I’m tired.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion."

The top scholar Deng Qiyuan quickly took the lead and responded with his hands raised.

The preparatory process was completed, and the celebrities who should watch it were also watched. Zhu Yijiong said without any more nonsense: "You new scholars, although there have been these twists and turns, you still have to do what you want! Deng Qiyuan, Ma Hongqi, Wu Jingzi, the three of you Since he has become a top three Jinshi, he will first enter the Secretary's Pavilion to observe government and study for one year, and then he will be sent to another place."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Deng Qiyuan, Ma Hongqi, and Wu Jingzi immediately stepped forward to express their gratitude.

It has become a custom of the new dynasty for the top three Jinshi to be gold-plated in the Secretary's Pavilion and then be promoted to official positions. This has become a custom of the new dynasty. All the Jinshi have no objections but only envy.

This is the emperor's disciple and close minister!

The treatment of the top three is indeed much better than that of ordinary Jinshi.

Zhu Yijiong also said: "The rest of the Jinshi will be sent to other places by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. They will observe the administration in the first three months, and then take charge of the place after the period of observing the administration."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The remaining 270 Jinshi came forward to express their gratitude.In this way, after the basic summoning process has been completed, the next step is for the Ministry of Personnel to arrange and award official positions, and then pack up and go to places to take up their posts. Most of them should go to the southwest, Shaanxi-Gansu, and Sichuan, and the rest will go to Guangnan.

Because of the new rules of the imperial examination, these new imperial examination scholars are all young people, so they are all very ambitious at this time, looking forward to making great achievements in the new dynasty.

As for the life trajectories of these Jinshi, some of them may be sent to other places, and then they will be promoted all the way due to their political achievements, and then they will rise to the top, and finally return to the capital and join the cabinet to worship the prime minister.

There are also some people who may find it difficult to return to the capital after leaving the capital, and can only waste their lives.

Others may be unable to resist temptation and go astray, just like the promising Pei Haicheng in the Jiangxi case in the past.

Who can tell?
More than 200 new scholars thanked En for their resignation, and Zhu Yijiong left the North Korean scholar Pu Zheng alone: ​​"Pu Zheng, I have read your article, and it is good."

Pu Zheng was very excited. At this moment, all the fellow scholars had resigned, leaving him alone. He immediately knelt down and said, "I thank your Majesty for your compliments!"

Zhu Yijiong smiled and said: "Get up! You are good at learning Chinese. Among North Korean students studying abroad, you are the best."

However, Pu Zheng did not get up. Instead, he bowed down again: "Pu Zheng only hopes to become a citizen of Ming China, not a rebellious citizen of North Korea."

Zhu Yijiong smiled even more happily now: "Very good, my Ming Dynasty needs talents like Pu Qing. From now on, you will be my Ming Dynasty Korean Jinshi Pu Zheng. The Pyongyang Governor's Office still lacks a fellow governor. , just pack up and go directly to your appointment!"

Pu Zheng was overjoyed at first, but then he remembered his previous experience of catching his son-in-law, and said quickly: "Thank you for your grace! However, I don't want to be a Korean Jinshi. I sincerely ask your Majesty to allow me to be a Han Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yijiong nodded: "No problem, as long as you can do well in Pyongyang, I will allow you to become a Han citizen."

Although the Ming Dynasty has now established rule in Pyongyang, [-]% of the people there are Koreans. To fully digest it, a Korean official is still needed.

But the local gentry in North Korea cannot believe it, but now this Pu Zheng is just right.

Moreover, Zhu Yijiong did not completely believe him. He just asked him to be a co-prefect, which was equivalent to assisting the Pyongyang prefect who was dispatched. Even if he really rebelled, he would not be able to interfere with the overall situation.

When the Ming Dynasty further annexes North Korea in the future, if Pu Zheng is used well, he can also become a pawn for the Ming army to march south and wave the flag.

After sending Pu Zheng away, Zhu Yijiong went to summon Ruan Fuyue, who had been waiting for a long time.

Zhu Yijiong said kindly: "I have read Ruan Qing's essay for the examination. Although the writing is a little lacking, it is quite good."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ruan Fuyue quickly handed over his hand.

Zhu Yijiong didn't waste any nonsense and went straight to the point: "I see that Guangnan still lacks a deputy academic envoy, so Ruan Qing will be the one to serve. We must educate the people of Guangnan well and let them return to Chinese culture as our Chinese people."

As soon as Ruan Fuyue heard that the emperor had given him the official title, he immediately responded without thinking, "Ruan Fuyue... no, it's me... I thank your majesty for your grace."

Zhu Yijiong nodded: "In that case, Ruan Qing should pack up and set off with the academic leader soon!"

"The minister obeys the order."

Ruan Fuyue's face was full of joy and he respectfully left.

These two cards have been played. The former Pu Zheng should not have any big problems, and the latter Ruan Fuyue is the son of Ruan's concubine, but I don't know how high the concubine has been.

But no matter what, he is Nguyen Phuc Thuy's son. This is a fact. According to the Chinese blood inheritance theory, he enjoys the same right to inherit the throne as Nguyen Phuc Thuy.

Not to mention whether the Ruan family listens or not, as these Southeast Asian countries that are deeply influenced by China, this lineage inheritance theory is still very useful.

First, put the chess piece Ruan Fuyue in Guangnan and let him use his spare energy to help educate the local Yue people.When the time comes, he will be used as an excuse to send troops to defeat the Ruan family in one fell swoop. At the worst, Ruan Fuyue will be given a reduced hereditary title.

I yearn for the country, pay homage to the country, and play it clearly.

　Suddenly I realized that Xuezheng was the name changed by Yongzheng...forget it, let's leave it at that!
