Inside the royal palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat majestically on the dragon chair, handling the mountains of memorials in front of him.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were many wastes waiting to be revitalized!

It can be said that all matters, large and small, are piled up in front of him.

Although there will be assistance from the Ministry of Education and the Prime Minister, the amount of memorials that need to be processed every day is still very huge.

Especially now that the imperial examination is about to take place, there is no room for any sloppiness.

But these are not big things. The only thing that gives Zhu Yuanzhang a headache is the current lack of money and silver.

Going to Yuanting, the daily cost of food and grass, etc. is a huge expense!

In addition, building the palace, restoring people's livelihood, etc., each item is indispensable.

Especially in recent months, disasters have occurred frequently in various places, and part of the money spent on repairing the palace has been used to relieve the victims.

But even so, it's still a drop in the bucket.

After all, when the dynasty was first established, how could there be so much money?

For a while, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but have a headache.

"I don’t know what the Chinese, civil and military officials of this dynasty do for food, so they all ask usCan we make money?"

"They don't know how to save money"

"Why!"

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his temples with an annoyed look.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

"I don't know what Chen Mu has in mind to solve the problem of the imperial court's use of silver."

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had listened to a lot of Chen Mu's lectures before, and he was excited every time.

If the money problem can be solved this time, it can be said to have solved an urgent problem for the court and the world!

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was about to get up and go to the school. At this time, his pace suddenly stopped.

Chen Mu's plan was indeed good!

But if you think about it carefully, every time it is extremely vicious.

Even if you don't get it right, you might come up with some vicious plan that will harm your moral character!

"What if the use of silver this time is also a poisonous trick?……"

Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself, hesitating a little.

But when he saw the mountain of memorials, all of which were written by Shao Yin, even though he had all kinds of hesitation in his heart, he became firm at this moment.

"Go listen to it first! Maybe he can come up with something good!"

"Even if it is a poisonous plan, if it is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world, it is not a bad idea!

Zhu Yuanzhang had this in mind and shouted loudly:"Two tigers!" Hearing this

, Erhu hurriedly walked in from outside the palace, cupped his hands and said,"Your Majesty,"

"You prepare the carriage immediately. We are going to leave the palace incognito and go to the school."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two tigers bowed their hands and hurriedly left the palace.

……

At Xi'an Gate, the two men passed slowly on horseback, and the generals who defended the city did not dare to neglect at all.

The leader was wearing a bright yellow robe with a round collar and narrow sleeves, and it was Lao Zhu.

In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely irritable and could not stand the memorial at all.

"We still have to go out often and take a look at our people and the tens of thousands of students from all over the world!"

Lao Zhu sighed with emotion.

Yingtian Mansion is now very lively, with tens of thousands of students coming to participate in Enke. You can see many scholars dressed as students on the road.

As soon as he came out and saw these, he relaxed a lot , the headache is half gone

"The emperor is considerate of the people and brings peace. This is the blessing of our Ming Dynasty."

Mao Xiang bowed slightly and flattered with a smile.

"The people are the foundation of a dynasty's rule. The reason why later emperors lost the support of the people is because they did not know the sufferings of the people."

"Dr. Chen Mu’s insights are shocking and enlightening"

"How can he be an ordinary person if he has such true knowledge?"

"Xu Da and others dared to throw away his suggestion without even looking at it. It was simply stupid!"

Lao Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself, ignoring it.

There was anger flashing in his eyes.

Mao Xiang knew that the emperor was in a bad mood at this time, so he did not dare to say anything more. He just looked around intently to prevent the previous It happened again unexpectedly.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in front. Mao Xiang hurriedly clapped his horse and stepped forward to protect Lao Zhu.

"what's the situation?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and asked aloud

"Report back to the emperor, someone is doing evil in the street"

"Go and have a look"

"yes!"

The two drove their horses forward and saw two young men and four parties, one old and one young. The old man was lying on the ground, and the young man stood in front of the old man, shouting not to hurt my father. But the two young men did not do anything at all.

If he didn't listen, he would just pick up the old man and beat him up. After the beating, he would start yelling loudly.

"I think highly of you when I buy something from you! How dare you refuse! Looking for a fight!"

"Even so, they don’t ask to know who we are! My general is Lan Shangqing!"

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers dispersed for fear of causing disaster.

The old and young people lying on the ground did not dare to say a word and helped each other to leave.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang looked gloomy.

Lan Shangqing, Lan Yu?!

Okay!

You, Lan Yu, are accompanied by thirteen eunuchs when you go out. When you meet me, the emperor, you dare to draw your sword.

Now, your servants dare to treat me, the people of the Ming Dynasty, like this!

It’s really good!

With generals like you here, What else do I think about the eternal stability of the Ming Dynasty?

What else do I think about the uncorrupted foundation of the country?

Quan Te Niang is bullshit!

As long as you are here, I should worry about when the people will cut off my head!

The anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes is blazing again combustion

"Go to the Academy."

His voice was cold, and he did not get angry on the spot.

Mao Xiang did not dare to speak, but just followed him honestly.

But he knew that the emperor's suppressed anger was not unbearable. He was just waiting to find the rightful owner to settle the matter.

Lan Yu, you are dead.!

……

In the Prince's East Palace, several princes gathered together and talked about it.

"Brother, I heard that 9,000 students from all over the country were selected for the provincial examination last year?"

"Nine thousand? But really?"

"How many are there in Gyeonggi and how many are in other provinces?"

Hearing several brothers exclaimed, Zhu Biao shook his head.

"Nine thousand people are from other provinces, and there are a thousand people near Gyeonggi alone."

He released an even more shocking news

"Wouldn’t that be enough to attract tens of thousands of reference students! This is too much!"

"Tens of thousands of students passed the provincial examination to come to Yingtianfu, which is rare in ancient times!"

"The gathering of talents from all over the world is our great blessing!"

Although Zhu Shuang and Zhu Di were older and calmer, they couldn't help laughing at this moment.

This was the first imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, which was of great significance.

Zhu Biao saw the expressions on his brothers' faces and couldn't help laughing.

But then he dropped a bigger and more important news

"Nowadays, there is a lot of waste waiting to be done, and there is a shortage of officials at both the upper and lower levels. The father is likely to select a large number of talents as officials this time. There should not be too many people in this department dismissed."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

"What? Select a large number of talents as officials!"

"Thinking about it, the territory of the country continues to grow, and there are only so many officials it can use. It's time to train a new group of people."

"This year's students are considered lucky, as there are probably a large number of pillars of the imperial court among them."

The princes had been groomed by the big brother's news one after another. They quickly recovered from the shock and their thoughts were running rapidly.

The fourth child, Zhu Di, even asked a question directly.

"Brother, who will be the examiner for this imperial examination?"

When Zhu Biao listened to Zhu Di's inquiry, a name appeared in his mind: Chen Mu!
