"Am I such a person? Did you come to my house to say this? Feng Congwu glared at Zhang Yu and asked loudly.

His eyes seemed to breathe fire, and at the same time he already made a gesture of sending off a guest.

Song Yingsheng and Song Yingxing on the side looked stupid, no one expected Zhang Yu to come up and put on such an aggressive posture.

You must know that although the three of them are not here to ask for help this time, they have a better attitude when they come to someone's house, right?

After all, they're here to unite. But Zhang Yu is like this now, giving people the feeling that he is here to make a revenge!

Zhang Yu was unmoved, not frightened, and said with a peaceful smile on his face: "It is precisely because I believe that you are not this kind of person that I am talking to you about these things." ”

"What we want to do is to serve the country loyally, to support justice, not to vent anger, not to invite the name directly. Now that the Ming Dynasty has reached the time of life and death, we can no longer admonish directly; We need to have some stratagem, we need to take a detour. ”

"Above the court, there are many people who are busy, and there are many people who are fortunate to advance, so people are in charge of the Ming Dynasty, and you can imagine what will happen to the Ming Dynasty in the future. At such a time, we can't ignore the momentary happiness in our hearts, ignore justice and disregard the Ming Dynasty! ”

Feng Congwu looked at Zhang Yu and knew that although this guy said it easily, what he said was not true.

Above the court, although there are such people, not everyone is like this; The current situation is not what the courtiers want, but how to change His Majesty's opinion.

However, Feng Congwu heard that Zhang Yu was talking about something, so he slowly sat back, softened his face and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”

"Now above the court, Xu Guangqi is a line of heart learning, and there is Li Zhizao, the household servant, and Shen Tingyun, the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette, by his side. The three of them are above the court, and they have won the trust of His Majesty, and it can be said that their status is deep-rooted, although they have not been on the throne for a long time, but it is not easy to shake it. ”

In addition, Huang Kezhang of the Criminal Department proposed Xunzi today, which can be said to be unique. I believe that it won't be long before a group of people will gather around him, and this is the second force in the court. ”

"As for the third force, on the surface, it is the first assistant of the cabinet, Han Yi, and the cabinet scholar Sun Chengzong. But in fact, we all know that Han Yi and Sun Chengzong are not the same kind of people, and at the same time there is also a Ministry of Industry Shangshu Zhao Nanxing, these three people are barely on the same front, but their hearts are not aligned. ”

"Now the main force in the court is Xu Guangqi and a group of people. In addition, it is estimated that there will be a group of people from Huang Kezhang, and at this time, a new round of changes in the court may begin. ”

Glancing at Zhang Yu, Feng Congwu opened his mouth and said: "I'm just a mere five-grade Shang Baoqing now, you are just lifting people, what qualifications do you have to comment on everyone in the court?" There is no way to sway them. ”

"Just because I didn't have it before doesn't mean I won't have it in the future." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"What do you mean by that?" Feng Congwu looked at Zhang Yu, and this time the expression on his face finally became serious, waiting for Zhang Yu to give him an answer.

Feng Congwu saw that this Zhang Yu had something to say when he came here.

Zhang Yu didn't hide it, and directly told all the things about Han Yi looking for him and the two brothers of the Song family.

After hearing these words, Feng Congwu fell into deep thought, and the expression on his face did not know whether it was gloomy or excited, giving people a very complicated feeling.

After a while, Feng Congwu raised his head to look at Zhang Yu and asked dryly, "What does this matter have to do with me?" ”

"There was a lot of disturbance in the court, and every house was preaching its own doctrine. At this time, it is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. If we don't do anything at this time, I'm afraid we will soon fall into the dust. Zhang Yu looked at Feng Congwu and said directly: "When that time comes, where do we go?" ”

Feng Congwu naturally had this worry.

He is a representative of the Guanzhong lineage, and at the same time he has a deep attainment in science and psychology, which proves that he is an eclectic person.

Feng Congwu looked at Zhang Yu, but did not open his mouth to ask, because he knew that Zhang Yu's words were not finished yet.

"So in this day and age, it's time for us to do things, and it's time for great change." Zhang Yu continued: "Our Confucianism has always been eclectic, so why can't we start a new school? ”

"We juniors are not qualified, but you have lectured in Guanzhong for more than 20 years, and your protégés are all over the world, and you have a high reputation among Shilin, why can't you start a new school by yourself?"

"We can gather the strengths of each family, take the Guanzhong lineage as the foundation, and combine the needs of the current court to create a new school; With Han Yi, the head of the cabinet, as the DPRK's foreign aid. When that time comes, we will have a place in the court. ”

"In this way, we can really change everything in the court, instead of writing a question book to vent our anger like now. This is also the purpose of our visit today, the inheritance of the Guanzhong lineage, thanks to Mr. 's decision. ”

Feng Congwu looked at Zhang Yu and fell into deep thought.

To say that he is not tempted is false.

In fact, Feng Congwu actually doesn't have any school, he learns both science and psychology, and says that he is a member of the Donglin Party, which is just to agree with the thoughts and ideas of the Donglin Party.

And the Donglin Party is not a school, so now after listening to Zhang Yu's statement, Feng Congwu is really moved.

Thinking that I have been lecturing in Guanzhong for 25 years, and then thinking about my current status, are you willing?

Now that he is just a five-grade Shang Baoqing, what can he do? Is it worthy of what you have learned in your life?

Anyway, it's already like this, so it's better to give it a go. If it does, then it will naturally rise to the top; If it doesn't work, go back to Guanzhong and continue to lecture.

Thinking of this, Feng Congwu looked at Zhang Yu and said slowly, "What do you think?" I mean, in terms of schools, you have to think about that, and if you don't think about it, then you don't have to say anything. ”

Zhang Yu looked at Feng Congwu, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "I do have some ideas, but they are not mature. For example, I think the first priority of our school is two words, pragmatism. ”

Feng Congwu was stunned.

Even Song Yingsheng and Song Yingxing were stunned, Zhang Yu didn't tell them about this matter.

Zhang Yu did not look at the others, but continued: "Now that the retreat of various schools is prevalent, we must reverse this situation and shout pragmatic slogans. ”

"What you have to do, you will know what is right and what is wrong. As for the criterion for measuring pragmatism, we can use a sentence from His Majesty, that is, practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and we must know what we have done to know what we have done, and we should not be pragmatic or exaggerated. ”

After listening to Zhang Yu's words, several people present had some strange looks on their faces.

With pragmatism as the first priority, and shouting the slogan that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, you are completely going to Your Majesty.

As soon as you shout this slogan, you are properly slapping Your Majesty's ass.

But the two brothers Feng Congwu and the Song family did not stand up against it, because this kind of thing can be done and cannot be said, but this slogan is quite okay.

At the beginning of the establishment of a school, there must always be slogans and things that can be used, otherwise it will not have much effect.

Zhang Yu continued: "In other aspects, we pay attention to the equality of the four people. ”

Zhang Yu looked at Feng Congwu and said solemnly: "Born to be a steamer, naturally we treat everyone equally; All beings are equal, so there is no high or low people, and the city's agriculture and industry are nothing more than different industries. ”

Come on, this brings the slogan of Buddhism.

They all know the demagogic nature of this slogan. They're not alone, so they don't find it strange.

At the same time, Feng Congwu and the three of them also roughly understood what Zhang Yu was going to do, which was to take the few schools that are more popular now and the schools that His Majesty trusts more, and take their most representative things and hybridize them together to form their own thoughts.

Zhang Yu continued: "How to judge whether a person is noble or not, it depends on what he has done for the country and the people. ”

"If you have contributed to the country, you will naturally enjoy a high position, which is the standard for measuring whether a person is noble. Honorable family, His Majesty raised his father; Your Majesty's Mandate of Heaven is the work of Your Majesty in the Heavenly Dynasty, and this is the theory of Heavenly Merit. ”

This heavenly gong theory was also taken by Zhang Yu. You must know that because of this incident, there was a lot of trouble some time ago.

However, Zhang Yu did not stop, he continued: "In addition, I think the imperial court should pay attention to both etiquette and law, etiquette as the surface, and law as the inside. Whether it is a nobleman, a commoner, an official, or a white body, as long as they break the law, they must all be severely punished. Extrajudicial circumstances may be tolerated, but extrajudicial circumstances cannot be opened. ”

The three of them glanced at Zhang Yu meaningfully. This is to take Xunzi's doctrine over.

As for the pragmatism in the front, it can even be expanded to Xunzi's doctrine, after all, Xunzi pays attention to the mandate of heaven and uses it.

The three of them glanced at each other, and they didn't know what to say about Zhang Yuhao.

If you want to say that what he said is not appropriate, his method is really feasible. If this is done, the rise of the Guanzhong faction will be just around the corner, with the support of Han Yi, a scholar of the first assistant university in the cabinet, and there are people from the Guanzhong faction waving their flags and shouting outside.

If it can be done, then it can be successful.

As long as you wash these thoughts, turn them into your own thoughts, and then find some statements that can be consistent with the Guanzhong School, you will be able to rise in the world in an instant.

It's just a bit too bad to do that.

Seeing that none of the three of them spoke, Zhang Yu continued: "We still have an advantage. ”

Feng Congwu and the others were all stunned.

What are the advantages of our three melons and two dates now?

"We are all from Guanzhong, what is Guanzhong? Guanzhong was the place where the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties flourished. Qin won't talk about it for now, let's take out the Han and Tang Dynasties separately, and we can shout a slogan to the outside world, which is called learning from the Confucianism of the Han and Tang Dynasties. ”

"We are all in the same vein as Guanzhong, and it is only natural to advocate learning from the Confucianism of the Han and Tang Dynasties. In this way, we can find some doctrines from the Confucianism of the Han and Tang dynasties that are in line with our Guanzhong school. In other words, we inherit the Confucianism of the Han and Tang dynasties, and have the strength of the Han and Tang dynasties. ”

"Why should we learn from Song Zhiru? That's rotten. Look at the Great Song Dynasty, has it been strong since the founding of the People's Republic of China? ”

Zhang Yu's words are pure nonsense, and the weak hat of the Song Dynasty cannot all be thrown on the Confucians of the Song Dynasty.

But history is a little girl, how to dress up how she looks. Now I need the Confucianism of the Han and Tang Dynasties to become beautiful, so I can only make Song Confucianism ugly.

The three of them looked at Zhang Yu and had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, so they could be regarded as finding a source for their school.

We are the Guanzhong School, and we inherit the Confucianism of the Han and Tang Dynasties in Guanzhong.

If you want to find theories and doctrines, there are so many works of Confucianism in the Han and Tang dynasties, you can always find some of them, and then apply them all to the present, which is called the ancient for the present.

The eyes of the three people were uncertain, especially Feng Congwu. If so, who else would be the leader?

After all, now in Guanzhong, he has the oldest qualifications and the highest prestige. If he can really do this, what will his status be in the future?

There's so much he can do! I can't think of it without getting excited.

Although there is some shamelessness in doing this, can things in this world be done with shame?

Besides, our Confucianism has always been ever-changing, and learning from the advantages of others is also our advantage.

Forcing himself to stabilize and looking up at Zhang Yu, Feng Congwu said lightly: "Can you tell Han Yi about this?" ”

The key point of this matter is Han Yi, if he agrees, it will naturally be easy to do anything; If he doesn't agree, then this matter will definitely not be easy.

Because if you want to do this, you need the support of Your Majesty. And if you want to get Your Majesty's support, then you must first come to Your Majesty, and at least someone must introduce you.

In such a situation, Han Yi's introduction was extremely important, so Feng Congwu asked this question. If it weren't for Han Yi's recommendation, a few of them wouldn't have been able to do anything at all.

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "As long as you agree, I am sure to persuade Han Yi." ”

It's not that Zhang Yu is talking nonsense, but that he really has confidence.

In Han Yi's current situation, he urgently needs to make his position clear, and he urgently needs someone to support him. These people are the most suitable, and Han Yi is definitely willing to accept this position.

Why is Han Yi willing to accept it?

The reason is also very simple, from beginning to end, my own school has followed His Majesty.

The first point of view is pragmatic, that is, he is patting His Majesty's sycophants. Which of the latter ones is not of interest to His Majesty?

In addition, the abolition of Confucianism in the Song Dynasty and the Confucianism of the Han and Tang Dynasties directly swept the science into the garbage heap.

No matter what science and mind you have, you are all Song Confucian; Song Ru is finished, he is wasted. If you don't finish, if you don't waste it, how can you let the Yuan Dynasty beat it? How could he be bullied so much by Liao and Jin?

The Song Dynasty is all to blame for the end of the Song Dynasty, you have to wear this hat, and you have to wear it if you don't wear it.

Our Ming Dynasty is different, our Ming Dynasty Emperor Taizu is wise and martial, with a cloth body, born out of thin air, expelled Hu Lu, restored China, established Chen Ji, and relieved the people.

With such a huge emperor and such a powerful empire, how could he learn from Song Confucianism?

Our Ming Dynasty has been so weak for so many years, the frontier is restless, and the country is insufficient, all of them are the pot of your Song Confucian.

At this point, it's time to put things right. How can we still learn from Song Confucianism?

We must learn from the Confucianism of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

As for the difference between the proposed and the Confucianism of the Han and Tang Dynasties, that is, it must have the characteristics of our Ming Dynasty and conform to the actual situation of our Ming Dynasty. If they are all the same as the Han and Tang Dynasties, then wouldn't the Ming Dynasty be the same as the Han and Tang Dynasties?

How can we be in the Ming Dynasty? We're going to outdo them!

With such thoughts, Zhang Yu disbelieves and disagrees with Your Majesty, and at the same time, you can also tell Your Majesty, if you disagree, let's talk about it; It's not that it can't be discussed, we will do it if you propose it.

Song Yingsheng glanced at Zhang Yu, and he felt that Zhang Yu's rhetoric was too limitless.

However, looking at Feng Congwu's eagerness to try, Song Yingsheng knew that he was afraid that Zhang Yu would succeed again this time. Still, he said, "Are we not like them?" ”

Song Yingsheng's sentence is to the point. Then we might as well let them do it, just like them.

Zhang Yu glanced at Song Yingsheng, a little big.

Didn't Feng see it from me? Of course he saw it, but the stakes here were too great.

On the one hand, he will become the leader of a school, and his official position will also be greatly improved. When the time comes, the prestige of the people will be invincible, the official position in the officialdom will be invincible, and they will also leave their names in the history.

In the face of such interests, everything else can be put aside. What do you mean I'm like them? Can I do the same as what they do?

However, with Song Yingsheng's personality, Zhang Yu is not surprised at all to raise this question.

"How can this be the same?" Zhang Yu said with a calm face: "Those of them, the flies and dogs are fighting for power and profit, where is it for the Ming Dynasty and the country?" ”

"For example, the person who proposed to raise Xunzi's thoughts, did he really believe in Xunzi? They don't believe it. They do this just for the sake of their official position. ”

"But we are different, we are for the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of this country. The Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, and today it has reached the point where it cannot be changed. But how to change it, this has always been a question, in this kind of world, who else can I be? ”

Song Yingsheng glanced at Zhang Yu, he actually wanted to ask Zhang Yu, what do others believe or learn, I don't know, but you are studying Zonghengjia, right? You say you are a Confucian disciple, who will believe you?

"Yes, exactly. It's time for us to get things done! Song Yingxing stood up on the side and said loudly, with an excited look on his face.

Glancing at his younger brother, Song Yingsheng shook his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do to stop what was in front of him.

One thing he can still accept is that many things can be added by himself, and he can also elaborate his own ideas and scholarship.

When that time comes, things will be much easier. So Song Yingsheng did not stand up against it.

Seeing that Song Yingsheng had no objection, Zhang Yusuan breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Feng Congwu, and asked, "We've already talked about this, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”

Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Feng Congwu knew that it was time for him to take a stand.

If they don't express their stance now, then this matter will not be successful, and after they go back, they will go to Han Yi and sell themselves when they turn around.

When it really comes to that time, it is estimated that his official position or anything is gone, so he can only obediently return to Guanzhong.

Thinking of this, Feng Congwu nodded and said, "So, just listen to you, I'll wait for your news." ”

Zhang Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Wait for my good news." ”

After Song Yingsheng and the three of them left the Feng family, Song Yingxing was still a little excited.

Unlike his eldest brother, Song Yingxing agreed more with Zhang Yu this time. As for what Zhang Yu said, he didn't feel much, he was more concerned about what he could do now.

Song Yingsheng and the three of them walked back all the way, but no one spoke, obviously the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Until Song Yingxing turned his head to look at Zhang Yu, his expression was still a little excited and asked, "Do you think we can do it?" ”

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "We will definitely be able to do it." ”

After saying this, Zhang Yu gritted his teeth and said two words, "Definitely." ”

It seems to be giving Song Yingxing confidence, and it is also like giving himself confidence.

On another street, Zhu Youxiao was dressed as a rich boy and was hanging around.

Accompanying him was the great eunuch Chen Hong, who looked like an old housekeeper at this time.

The other is Qi Yuanfu, the leader of the personal guards personally selected by Zhu Youxiao. He's even simpler, dressed like a rich man's coachman. And, of course, the guard, because he was carrying a knife.

As for others, they are scattered all over the place.

Zhu Youxiao held a folding fan in his hand, unfolded it with a loud sound from time to time, and walked forward with a sway, quite a bit of a gentleman.

If you take a few thugs and tease a good woman, a proper street bully.

However, Zhu Youxiao naturally couldn't do this, although he also wanted to give it a try in his heart.

Sure enough, people have a dark side in their hearts, and they feel excited to do bad things after being suppressed for a long time.

After turning a street, Zhu Youxiao came to the door of the Internal Affairs Office. At this time, quite a few people had gathered here.

After Zhu Youxiao walked over to take a look, he turned around and walked in through another door.

There are probably several categories of people who come to take the exam here, first of all, the Xungui and Xunqi's families. Of course, it's definitely not the descendants of the lineage, and the concubines may not be either, most of them are side branches or some messy relatives, or their families, such as the housekeeper's son and the like.

This kind of operation is not surprising to Zhu Youxiao, once the housekeeper's son goes to the Internal Affairs Office, it is equivalent to his own family going in. That's why you often do this kind of thing.

In addition to this group of people, there are also poor scholars.

Don't think that everyone who reads is rich, there are still a lot of poor people, and there are even more people who want to fight for a future.

Poor Xiucai, poor Xiucai, these three words are not called in vain. There is such a saying among the people, poor Xiucai, Jin Juren, and Yin Jinshi.

This method of division, on the one hand, illustrates the difficulty of their exams, and the Jinshi is easier to take after lifting people in the exam, and on the other hand, it also shows the economic strength.

You must know that there are millions of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, how many of them pass the Jinshi examination every three years? How many can you pass in the exam?

Many times, you are required to bend over in the face of reality. Just like before Zhu Youxiao's crossing, the positions of the street office with the establishment would be flocked to it. The same is true in this era, which is a truth that is not easy to understand.

What's more, Zhu Youxiao still gave the establishment of the Internal Affairs Office, how can it be compared to Xu officials?

No matter how bad it is, it is an official, and it can be promoted. Under such circumstances, poor scholars naturally flock to it.

In addition, the third relatively large group is the Xu officials. The Ministry of Internal Affairs received the officials, and since the news was released, the officials naturally flocked to it.

You know, whoever wants to change their origins, then they are the group of people who want to do the most.

Some people are willing to live the days when they have never come out in their lives, but some people are unwilling. So in such a situation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has become a very good choice for them, and they will naturally come over.

Zhu Youxiao walked around outside, and he was basically able to distinguish these three types of people.

It can be said that before entering the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they have naturally divided into three factions. This is not determined by other issues, but by birth.

Zhu Youxiao's opinion on this is that it doesn't matter, whatever you want.

There is no partisan division among his subordinates, it's just a joke. The idea that the courtiers did not form a party could only exist in the beautiful illusions of the emperor.

After entering the Internal Affairs Office, Zhu Youxiao went directly to Fang Zhenghua.

This time the matter was in charge of Fang Zhenghua, and Zhu Youxiao had some things to ask him.

As for the father-in-law Zhang Guoji, Zhu Youxiao didn't pay attention to it at all. Zhang Guoji has no other role than carrying the blame.

After a few turns, Zhu Youxiao saw Fangzhenghua.

Fang Zhenghua was explaining something to his subordinates, and as soon as he looked up, he saw his own emperor. He didn't expect the emperor to come, and his face was full of disbelief.

After coming back to his senses, Fang Zhenghua quickly ran to Zhu Youxiao's side, and directly wanted to kneel on the ground and pay respects.

"Alright, excuse me." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to interrupt Fang Zhenghua's movements.

If there is any movement at this time, then everyone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will come to pay homage to him, and there is no need to do anything.

So Zhu Youxiao directly stopped Fang Zhenghua and didn't let him make any big moves.

The group soon entered the Fangzhenghua duty room, and Zhu Youxiao looked around curiously. According to later generations, this is the office of Founder.

Zhu Youxiao turned around and found that the layout in the room was not bad, and he did not pretend to be elegant. There is also a Yanling knife hanging on the wall not far away, which is obviously Fangzheng's own.

Sitting down on the chair, Zhu Youxiao looked at Fang Zhenghua and said gently, "How are you preparing?" ”

Fang Zhenghua didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Emperor Qiqi, everything is ready. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked, "Chen Hong has already explained the things that should be explained to you, right?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Gonggong Chen has already explained to the slave maid." Fang Zhenghua said respectfully.

Nodding slightly, Zhu Youxiao said, "Then let's continue." ”

The examination is held in a large square in the middle of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and is divided into three rounds.

The first round is to take the Four Books and Five Classics like the imperial examination, but the difficulty is very small, basically dictation and filling in the blanks. This is not difficult for candidates at all, if you can't even take this test, you won't need it.

The main purpose of this is to test whether people are literate or not, and there is no other use for it at all.

The second round of the test is arithmetic. This one is more difficult, and in addition to simple calculations and fill-in-the-blanks, there are also practical problems.

The third round of the test is strategy. This is also a discipline, but in Zhu Youxiao's opinion, it is actually useless at all. What is the use of the Ministry of Internal Affairs exam?

However, Fang Zhenghua also explained to Zhu Youxiao. Passing this strategy exam is mainly to judge the character and style of the person who is examined.

After three rounds of exams, there will be another round of interviews. After passing the interview, you will be able to officially enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Therefore, the candidates are very cautious, and everyone is waiting for the exam to start.

Zhu Youxiao stood on the invigilator building in front of the examination room, looking through the window at the black candidates below.

Speaking of which, there are really a lot of candidates, and seeing that they are preparing for the exam, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh.

He suddenly thought of one thing, he should set up a school in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to teach these people, at least give them a training.

As for who to teach, Zhu Youxiao felt that it would be enough to let the old chamberlain in the palace come.

Why let the old chamberlain teach?

The reason is very simple, the old chamberlain has been working in the palace for many years, and those who can survive until the beginning and the end are naturally some thoughts and thoughts. In addition, they are enough for many people to learn for a lifetime in terms of dealing with people.

As for learning, these people are naturally not bad. You must know that the chamberlains of the Ming Dynasty all studied in the inner study hall, which can be said to be familiar. Otherwise, if you can't write, you won't be able to do anything, and you won't be able to go far in the palace.

Another point is that the internal affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the chamberlains in the palace belong to the emperor's private institutions, and they are also a type of people, so they are easier to get along with.

Zhu Youxiao didn't want to teach all the people in the Internal Affairs Office to be ministers in the court.

In addition, it can be used as a place for retired attendants to retire. Teaching students here and taking care of their accommodation is also a very good place to go.

This is also very beneficial to them, which is conducive to the stability and harmony of the palace attendants, which is a very good way.

When Zhu Youxiao was thinking about this matter, one of the students below was engrossed in answering the question.

This person is not young, he looks like he is already thirty-seven or eighteen years old, his face is a little pale, with a little sickly, and he looks like he has just recovered from a serious illness.

His expression was unusually focused and serious, and he soon attracted Zhu Youxiao's attention.

It's not because this person is handsome or anything, because this person is wearing a Confucian shirt. It can be seen from his dress that this person should be a showman.

Although there are a lot of shows that have signed up before, there are not many references.

Because after the imperial court issued a notice to recruit officials, many Xiucai felt insulted. They are very backbone, how can they be in the company of the officials?

So they didn't come. Most of the scholars who attended the scene basically did not have any fame, and most of them were white.

But looking at their appearance, they also know that they are poor, after all, even Xiucai is called poor Xiucai, not to mention their white bodies?

Seeing a talent now naturally attracts Zhu Youxiao's attention.

However, Zhu Youxiao also knows that this is just the beginning. These scholars will soon be transferred to the Royal Academy.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is not suitable for them, so the Royal Academy is naturally a more suitable place for them. This is what many people who read, and even more so those who have a reputation for showing off their talents.

Seeing a talent here made Zhu Youxiao a little surprised. He turned his head to Chen Hong beside him and said, "Go check it out, and see who that Xiucai's surname is, where is it, and what kind of livelihood does he do?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The slave and the maid will go. Chen Hong hurriedly agreed, then turned around and walked out.

Soon, the information that Zhu Youxiao asked for was found.

After looking at it, Zhu Youxiao found that it was really interesting. This person's name is Xu Feng, and he is indeed a Xiucai, a person from Shuntianfu, who was selected for Xiucai at the age of twenty-one.

He is thirty-eight years old this year, and he has taken the exam five times in a row, and all of them have fallen to Sun Shan.

For him, it was three years and three years, three years and three years, three years and three years, and then he still didn't get in.

In order to provide him with education, it can be said that the family is poor and deteriorating. A few days ago, he was even more seriously ill and used up all the money in the house.

In order to save his life, the family sold the only dozens of acres of land. If he doesn't find a way to pass the exam, then the whole family will have to sell themselves into slavery.

Although he had just recovered from a serious illness and his body was not yet well, Xu Feng still came.

Looking at the information in his hand, Zhu Youxiao found that although Xu Feng looked like a very stubborn person, he kept taking exams regardless of the situation at home.

But this is not the case, in the process of continuous examinations, he worked as a private school teacher, and even worked as a bookkeeper.

In a word, he does everything that can make money.

Of course, I didn't do coolies or anything. However, Zhu Youxiao felt that it was not that he didn't want to do it, but that his small body couldn't do it at all.

This time, Zhu Youxiao was interested in this person.

For Zhu Youxiao, such a person may have something big to do in the future; If you are in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you may be able to show your strength.

You can pay attention to it properly.

Handing back the information in his hand to Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao did not continue to say anything, nor did he say that he would admit him or anything.

However, Zhu Youxiao realized another thing, in the current Ming Dynasty, this is the absolute official standard,

For the people of the Ming Dynasty, only being an official can be regarded as a prosperous person, and it can be regarded as changing their class. Other than that, there is no second way out.

For ordinary people, doing business and doing stocks has no capital and cannot afford it. It's not that the status of merchants is low, but how many of them are real businessmen in the Ming Dynasty to the present?

Basically, all businessmen are official businessmen, and even if they are not official businessmen, they are inextricably linked with those who are officials.

Ordinary people can't do business, but only studying is a relatively fair way to change their class.

If you want to truly promote the equality of the four people, it is not enough to just publicize it ideologically, but also find ways to elevate the status of the people.

As for how to elevate their status, Zhu Youxiao thought of a very awesome policy, which is called the evaluation of professional titles.

In the early days, the type of skilled work was linked to the treatment of government departments. For example, they may not be civil servants, but they are given treatment. Salaries are paid in accordance with this treatment, nominally on the same level as civil servants.

If the imperial court gives craftsmen such treatment, for example, they are department-level masters, and if they are converted to now, they can be said to be five-grade craftsmen, and he enjoys the same treatment as five-grade officials.

When the time comes, if a special technical school is built, will it be possible to attract a lot of people from ordinary people to study?

Or the poor people don't need it at all, as long as you read to them, they will read anything.

After all, in this day and age, many people can't even eat. For them, as long as they are reading, it is an opportunity to turn over.

Think about this matter, Zhu Youxiao stood at the window and pondered.

The state-owned workers of later generations, Zhu Youxiao was deeply impressed. Although there was a large-scale wave of layoffs and many institutional reforms, such a system played a great role in the early days of the country's founding.

They restored a country that had been left in ruins from the war to a country with a certain industrial base.

The idea of a big pot of rice is undesirable, and the distribution of collective labor according to work can be implemented. When you have the chance, let's try it at Baigong Academy.

If it can, it can be pushed to the military, which can be regarded as a kind of reform.

Zhu Youxiao felt that he could give it a try.

"Emperor, Emperor."

Just when Zhu Youxiao was thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone calling him, so he turned his head to look over.

Seeing that it was Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao frowned, and asked directly with an indifferent face, "What's the matter?" ”

"Emperor, it's not early, it's time for us to go back to the palace." Chen Hong stubbornly said: "In addition, the examination here is over." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly looked down and found that the papers had already begun to be handed in.

I felt my sore thighs, and it seemed that I had really been standing for a long time.

"Alright, let's go." Zhu Youxiao nodded, turned around and walked downstairs.

I went to the Internal Affairs Office today, but it wasn't that I didn't gain anything, but I went out to take a breath.

For this, Zhu Youxiao still feels very pleased, and at the same time feels very good.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Youxiao wandered to Empress Zhang.

I'm going to eat at the Queen's side tonight, and then I'll sleep there. Recently, I'm getting more and more used to sleeping alone, and the night alone is still quite lonely.

When Zhu Youxiao went to sleep with Queen Zhang with a little emotion, Zhang Yu came to Han Yi's house.

This time, the two brothers of the Song family did not follow, in Zhang Yu's words, they did not have much effect, but it would make people feel that the three of them were not in unison.

So this time, let's do it by myself.

The two brothers of the Song family also agreed with Zhang Yu's words, after all, the two of them really couldn't help much. Compared with the two of them, Zhang Yu is more like a person from the Zongheng family, who can get everything done by himself.
