Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 208 Let's decide the matter of candidates
In the future, the Weaving Bureau and the Salt Affairs Bureau will need credible and reliable people to be in charge of various tasks. Zhu Biao wants to wait for those younger brothers to be older so that they can help manage the salt weaving.

Expanding the territory of Ming Dynasty in the future also needs to be managed by them.

He intends to select a few sons of honorable generals and ministers who are of both quality and concern, and train them well.In the future, there will be many things, and the available people are also very important.

Not long after returning to the East Palace and sitting down, Zhu Di came in a hurry, sat down on the seat next to Zhu Biao, and dropped a letter saying: "Xu Miaowei's letter to you, big brother."

"Where have you been these days?"

"Brother, I didn't do anything." Zhu Di said nonsense in a serious manner.

"You didn't go to Xu's house?" Zhu Biao picked up the envelope written in small letters and pulled it out. Inside were a few words from Xu Miaowei.

"I went there for a while, Uncle Xu was drinking with them, and I talked to Miss Xu's family for a while."

"Who is drinking?" Zhu Biao closed the letter in his hand, presumably Xu Da was drinking with Hua Yunlong and Geng Bingwen.

"Feng Sheng, Lu Zhongheng, Tang Shengzong, Chen De and others." Zhu Di said.

Fei Ju and the others were stationed in various parts of the north, and these few had time to drink, so Lao Zhu should find something for them to do.

"Brother, you can go play with me in a few days." Zhu Di smiled at Zhu Biao.

"What are you playing? The Yangzhou Salt Bureau has not been built yet. There are many things to do. Who swore before that that they would not marry Xu Miaoyun. Is it you, the fourth child?"

"I... Brother, don't mention that. I am willing. It doesn't matter whether she is beautiful or not. The important thing is that I think Miss Xu is good."

Tsk, it smells so good.Only Zhu Di expressed his desire to see *color* so elegantly.

But Zhu Biao had an idea about those generals mentioned just now. After the navy and army academy was completely completed, he would take the generals who had nothing to do to train soldiers.

On the second day, Zhu Biao arranged for Li Wenzhong to take the strong men who surrendered from Beiyuan to Yangzhou to build the Daming Salt Bureau.

Three days later, in the morning court, Lao Zhu was very angry because those civil servants thought it was nonsense for the Ming science and technology officials to participate in the scientific examination.

Afterwards, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Zhang Yi, Song Lian, Gao Qi, Yang Xian, Lu Chang, Ye Boju and others went to the Yushufang to discuss matters.

Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and the others also rushed to the imperial study room.

Zhu Biao followed closely behind.

Lao Zhu turned his back to the ministers, Li Shanchang and others looked around, all bowed their heads and said nothing.

"Everyone is talking, let's listen to you carefully today, whoever doesn't say anything will stay in the palace today." Lao Zhu's face was livid, and his words were humming, and he said in silence for a moment: "Are you all dumb? Speak well, today Let's deal with whoever doesn't say anything!"

Still no one speaks.

Zhu Biao said: "Li Xiang, you are the head of all officials. If you don't speak up about this matter, they will not dare to speak up. What do you say?"

"What His Royal Highness said is very true. The veteran believes that the scientific research is a major event of the court, and it is also a way to select talents and talents."

"For the matter of the imperial examination, His Majesty is so caring, it is the blessing of the people and the examinees." Hu Weiyong said with a smile.

……

Lao Zhu couldn't stand listening anymore, turned his head to look at them and said, "We asked you to repeat what you said in Fengtian Temple just now, it's useless not to tell us less."

Just now, Zhu Biao proposed that some science and technology officials from the Academy of Sciences and Technology could be added to the imperial examination in March next year.

If this science and technology officer can also be the number one scholar in high school, there is no need for everyone to appeal, and some people will rush to test the science and technology officer.

Unexpectedly, the civil servants said that there was no precedent in the past and present, so they tried to persuade them one after another, and they were unwilling to let the science and technology officer enter the examination room next year.

Ye Boju said: "Your Majesty, let those craftsmen take part in the imperial examination, absolutely not, it is out of style."

"This is not okay, and that is not appropriate. This is unseemly, and that is undignified. Then you tell us, what is appropriate, dignified and decent, you say! If you can't tell, I will give you tonight." Let's stay here and talk about it."

The more Lao Zhu looked at them, the more he disliked them. It was not because the science and technology officer was not allowed to enter the examination room, but because he made a decision, and these guys would come out to fight and show how capable they are.

Then he glanced at Xu Da and Chang Yuchun behind Zhu Biao, pointed to Xu Da and said, "Xu Da, tell me, as Prime Minister Zuo, you should also give us your opinion today."

Xu Da looked around, cupped his hands and said to Old Zhu, "Your Majesty, I'm a martial artist..."

"Xu Da, I'll let you talk!" Old Zhu interrupted Xu Da: "Do you think the science and technology officer should enter the examination room?"

Glancing at Zhu Biao, Xu Da rubbed his beard and said, "Hey, if you want me to say, since His Majesty created the Daming Resident Register, all the people in the world can enter the examination room as long as they are talented. If you are famous, then you can be the pillar of the imperial court."

Chang Yuchun has a bad temper, and following Xu Da's words, he said: "Wen can rule the country, and martial arts can bring peace to the country, but science and technology officials have brought prosperity to Ming Dynasty. The minor problems of the ministers for many years were treated by doctors from the Science and Technology Academy. Enter the court as an official.

You can't just let them do things, but don't give them official positions and don't recognize them. This is not the heart of the people. "

Zhu Biao nodded: "Although talented people are well-read poems and books, but those Suzhou people Yao Shurun ​​and Wang E, both of them were Confucianists, they secretly dealt with the government, but they didn't work for the court. It shows that there are scum, and it has nothing to do with the crowd. .”

Everyone trembled, these few who refused to enter the court were given by His Majesty...

"Li Xiang? Hu Weiyong? Yang Xian, and Song Lian, are you all dumb?" Lao Zhu looked at them and said.

"Your Majesty, even if the science and technology officers are allowed to enter the examination room for the candidates, they are still far from all the candidates." Li Shanchang said.

"Your Majesty, think twice!" Song Lian, Ye Boju and others said.

Old Zhu laughed angrily: "Hahaha, since that's the case, then let's announce that from next year, the imperial examinations will take the candidates at the same time. The science and technology institutes will take the candidates at the same time. We have the final say on the candidates. If the imperial court appoints science and technology officials, who of you dare to talk too much?" , pull it out and chop it off!"

Li Shan said: "Your Majesty's imperial examination, science and technology are the same as obtaining scholars, it is really a good way."

"Good way! Good way!"

All the civil servants echoed.

In fact, Lao Zhu understood that the Academy of Science and Technology was indispensable for farming in Yangzhou, as well as the navy and army schools and shipyards, and he himself had realized the importance.

Zhu Biao glanced at these people, Li Shanchang is too good at observing words and expressions.

These guys are cheap, they have to be scolded to be subdued.

"Prince, from next year, the day of the scientific examination will also be the time for the Academy of Science and Technology to take the examination. He has read poetry and books, has real talents and scholars, and No. 1 is the same as the imperial examination candidate.

We announce that in March next year, the Daming Academy of Science and Technology will be changed to the National Academy of Scholars, with separate official positions.Who has an opinion? "

No one spoke.

For Zhu Biao, literati are part of the court's talents, but science and technology officials must also join in the development and slowly exert a subtle influence.

At the same time, although some science and technology officials are skilled craftsmen, they have shortcomings in reading and literacy. This problem must be solved by Zhu Biao. To serve the court, they must be fully developed.

In the following month, Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu mentioned the matter of the Imperial College and the Academy of Scholars.

The Salt Bureau in Yangzhou and the salt field and mine in Shanxi are also under preparation, and the tea field in Zhejiang will also take some time.

But everything is slowly developing and slowly improving.

　Ask for recommendations, ask for favorites, ask for votes.
