Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 56 Continue to Discuss
In the early Ming Dynasty, in order to recruit talents and stabilize the hearts of the people, Zhu Yuanzhang reopened the imperial examination in Hongwu 18 and set the number of examiners. The system was very complete.

Since ancient times, the standard of getting a scholar is based on the quality of the essays of the candidates.

Zhu Biao clearly remembered that because of the turmoil at that time, the 30-year-old Zhu in Hongwu deviated from the usual practice of setting up the North-South List and selected scholars by "region".

In fact, no one cheated in that scientific examination in history, and all the results of the North and South exams were true.

The results of the Southern Juzi are indeed higher than those of the Northern Juzi.But in order to calm people's hearts, Lao Zhu asked the officials to select a few northern candidates, but the minister refused.

He was so angry that he even gave up his official position as the examiner, and it was the same way that he won the cheers of the northern students.

The reexamination of the examination has become the top priority of everyone's attention.

Zhu Biao pondered and said: "Mr. Song thinks about the Ming Dynasty alone.

Now that the army of the Northern Expedition has not been fully recovered, this matter should not be too urgent.

First, the Ming Dynasty wanted to treat the north and the south of the river uniformly and fairly. The north and the south are like the right arm of the Ming Dynasty, and the north cannot be missing.

Now that students from the north are not prepared to start a course to obtain a scholar, it will definitely have an impact. "

Song Lian nodded and said: "Yes, what Your Highness said is that the old minister is too impatient. The north is still in a slump, and it will be restored immediately. It may be unfair to the students in the North. Your Highness is considerate."

What else Li Shanchang wanted to say was rejected by Zhu Biao. If they all recruited the Jiangnan area, then they would form cliques for personal gain and the party would grow bigger.

Zhu Biao attached great importance to the north, and it was impossible to make it weaker than Jiangnan, so he said to the ministers: "I have returned from the Northern Expedition, and I only want to hear your opinions on the governance of the north."

"I believe that the impact of the war in the north is far less than that in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is very simple to recover."

Li Shanchang thought that everyone was a child of Jiangnan Huaixi, so he must say that to please His Highness.

"Prime Minister Li, I still remember that during the war, Prime Minister Li's eyes were not shallow, but now how do you say that the recovery of the north is easy? Could it be that the father and I have the power of gods and men?"

Don't talk too much, Li Shanchang is extremely depressed today, he obediently nodded his head perfunctorily.

Seeing that he was perfunctory, Zhu Biao simply stopped asking Li Shanchang, and continued to Song Lian and the others:
"There is little drought and food in the north, but the military is important, the Central Plains, and the recovered northern area sent craftsmen to dig canals and wells. As for the canal, we must continue to clean up and build it."

To dredge the canal, His Royal Highness is just a dream, Li Shanchang sneered a few times in his heart.

His Highness is still a child mentality, it is ridiculous that he can even think of such absurd things.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry also felt that it was impossible to complete, but he remained silent.

"Man-made disasters can be corrected, but natural disasters are difficult to prevent? I ask you what natural disasters are there? Floods, droughts, and locusts will all make people lose their crops, be displaced, and flee from their homes.

As long as the household department has sufficient money and food, we can irrigate droughts. Floods are common in the south of the Yangtze River. If we can regularly comb the river course and strengthen the embankment every year, it can be reduced by more than half.

Even the violent yuan can be overthrown. If you dare to ask everyone, can’t the problems in the north be solved?

No one has no money, so it’s up to you to solve it alone. You just need to second the proposal to execute it. But now that everyone has such an expression, how can we work together for the prosperity of Ming Dynasty? "

Finally we are talking about something.Talk about corrupt officials who don't do things for the people and embezzle all kinds of money.No matter who it is, as long as it embezzles money and food, it will not be forgiven.Gu believes that if the father is here, he will do the same. "

Song Lian nodded. The craftsmen at the Academy of Science and Technology studied all day long, including terrain, water potential and minerals.

Even that Jiao Zan was still tinkering with what His Highness said about cement, he believed His Highness's words.

"In the future, when the national power is restored, I will increase your salary, so that you won't be treated so badly that you can't afford to eat.

But whoever oppressed the common people and was greedy for money and money before the statue, I have only one word for you. "

Zhu Biao paused, then said in a deep voice, "Kill."

Although the voice was small, it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears, and they were covered in cold sweat.

A few officials behind who were not convinced by Zhu Biao were shocked at this moment, and they also took a small amount of silver taels on weekdays.

In the future, I dare not.

"If you don't kill, it's not enough to let the people in the world calm down. If you don't kill, it's not enough to restore the integrity of the court. If you don't kill, how can Ming Dynasty rule the world forever."

No one in the hall made a sound, they all lowered their heads, only the sound of heavy breathing.

Zhu Biao glanced at the crowd, but found that they just lowered their heads, especially Li Shanchang's thoughts had wandered somewhere.

"Prime Minister Li?"

"Prime Minister Li."

"What is Prime Minister Li thinking! Share with Gu."

Li Shanchang was thinking about Li Bin, thinking that when he came back, His Majesty...was awakened by Zhu Biao's voice.

He smiled and said, "Your Highness, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, maybe I'm sick."

"Oh, Prime Minister Li has to take good care of his health, the court cannot do without you." Then he waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Some reforms are bound to be blocked, after all, gossip is a sword that kills without blood.

Although that Yang Xian himself let him go to Yangzhou, he still kept him, and then he would bring him to clear himself of the old and unconvinced.

Zhu Biao can feel Li Shanchang's complaints about Li Bin's matter, and now he reminds them.

I hope that Li Shan will not form a clique to resist, the key is to hold more power in his hands.

This is not a difficult task. When Lao Zhu left Beijing to go north last time, he still wanted to let Zhu Biao worry about his soldiers.

If you do this by yourself, if you are in other dynasties, you will definitely not be far from being abandoned.

But this was the beginning of Ming Dynasty, and Lao Zhu's preference for him was enough to support his own reforms. As long as it was beneficial to Daming, Empress Ma would support him.

Today, I said a few words about the accusations of Sang and Huai by the Minister of the Ministry of Households, hoping to make Li Shanchang restrain his arrogance, he always wants to teach himself how to do things.

It's over.

All the officials have left, only Song Lian is still looking at Zhu Biao below.

Zhu Biao raised his head and said, "Sir, go for a walk with Gu and talk about the Academy of Science and Technology."

Song Lian nodded and said, "Yes."

Regarding the matter of the Academy of Science and Technology, Song Lian recorded the craftsmen who had been registered in the Academy of Science and Technology, including agriculture and minerals, water conservancy and gardens, masons, and craftsmen.

Since the abolition of craftsman registration, craftsmen have worked harder and worked harder, and they are all grateful to Zhu Biao.

"Sir, the grateful lonely don't care about this, how many craftsmen are there nowadays?"

"Returning to Your Highness, there are craftsmen in every industry, including the craftsmen from Qianyuan. They are all skilled craftsmen. There are thousands of them, but the expenses are a bit high."

"Sir, don't worry, the expenses will be resolved by the orphan, and you will help the orphan to check it, and you must treat it strictly."

"Your Highness, don't worry, I believe that everything should be rigorous, especially the Academy of Science and Technology."

Zhu Biao nodded, "There are also many skilled craftsmen in the north, so we should send more people to find them and summon them to the court."

The two walked along the palace road while talking.
