When Wu Bochang heard this, he was shocked.

He is a scholar, but he doesn't think that he is a Ming scholar.

At least after Zhu Di, the Wu family no longer recognized themselves as Ming, but only as Han.

But when Wu Zheng's words came out, Wu Bochang felt a strong sense of mission in his heart, preaching, solving doubts, and teaching...... What do you want?

Wu Zheng didn't bother Wu Bochang's contemplation, left softly, and closed the door.

When he came to the courtyard, Wu Zheng was worried, should he go to the east or the west chamber?

After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Zheng gritted his teeth and went to the backyard, the backyard was the bedroom of his father and sister, Wu Bochang was in a daze in the middle hall, naturally it was Wu Xiaomei.

Wu Xiaomei was surprised that Wu Zheng came at this time, but she was still happy.

"Brother, where's Dad?"

"Dad is thinking, and I'll be back by myself in a while."

"So ...... brother is here?"

Wu Zhengzheng asked: "Little sister, brother asks you, what is going on with the eighteen maids in and out of our courtyard?" Brother doesn't want to wronged you, and you are not allowed to recruit subordinates, but our family does not have a large population, and having three or five maids is enough to use ....... ”

Wu Xiaomei glanced at Wu Zhengbai and said resentfully: "Brother thinks I'm greedy for my own pleasure? ”

Wu Zheng hurriedly smiled: "Should you enjoy or have to be happy, you can't be so conspicuous." ”

Wu Xiaomei said: "Dad is old, it is not easy to raise our brother and sister to grow up, and now my brother is not often with his knees, and the two sisters-in-law are pregnant again, can there be more people waiting?" ”

Wu Zheng was silent for a while, and said, "Brother is wrong, I shouldn't blame you...... Uh, gone. ”

Wu Xiaomei grabbed Wu Zheng's sleeve and said, "Brother, don't you think...... Should Daddy continue the strings? ”

"Continuation?" Wu Zhengtou "buzzed", touched the top of Wu Xiaomei's head and asked, "Daddy continues?" My sister sighs...... Are you okay with your head? ”

"Slap" Wu Xiaomei knocked off Wu Zheng's hand and said: "Isn't it common sense for Dad to continue the string?" In large households, it is common to continue the string even in ancient years, not to mention that the father is only more than half a hundred. ”

Wu Zheng looked at Wu Xiaomei strangely, and after a long time, Wu Xiaomei was about to go berserk, Wu Zhengcai said: "Dad Xuxian doesn't object, but what's the matter with you recruiting such girls who are younger than you?" Do you want to call these yellow-haired girls a stepmother? ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng couldn't help but shudder.

No, Wu Xiaomei said with a straight face: "With the Wu family's family business and my brother's title, even the youngest woman will cry and shout to break through the threshold of the Wu family...... Besides, is my brother looking for a half-aged or a widow for my father? Could it be that calling such a woman as a stepmother, my brother will not panic? At least, in my opinion, these little women are a hundred times better than those half-aged or widows. ”

Wu was short of words, and couldn't help but reach out and want to touch Wu Xiaomei's head, but Wu Xiaomei looked at her angrily and had to give up.

Wu Xiaomei said: "Besides, it's easier to have children when you're younger!" ”

Wu Zheng heard that the first one was bigger than the two, "Do you still want your father to have another one?" ”

"So what's the matter, the Wu family is not prosperous, but now that our brothers and sisters have grown up, my father is also relaxed, continue the string, give birth to one or two, and our Wu family can afford it."

Wu Zheng was speechless, what do you think.

Wu Xiaomei's face suddenly darkened, and she said, "I know...... I don't really have the surname Wu, but it was not easy for my father to raise me, but I had nowhere to repay my father and the Wu family's great kindness...... I hope my brother will fulfill this. ”

Looking at Wu Xiaomei's sad expression, Wu Zheng felt a pang in his heart and said, "Sister, can this matter be slowed down?" Why don't you find a woman who is a little older, has never been married, and has a clean net worth...... Belch. ”

Speaking of which, looking at Wu Xiaomei's mocking eyes, Wu Zheng couldn't say it anymore, although the age of Jiangnan women marrying at this time was slightly later than that of Jiangbei, they were basically married at the age of eighteen or nineteen, how could there be a woman who was innocent and unmarried after the age was found?

Sighing, Wu Zheng retreated, "Cheng, I don't approve or oppose this matter, it's all up to my father's own will, how about it?" ”

……。

Back to the front, Wu Zheng made another difficulty.

After careful consideration for a while, Wu Zheng finally took a step towards the east chamber.

Pushing open the door, Wu Zheng was startled, and Zhou Shimin was also in Qian Jinxuan's room.

The second daughter watched Wu Zheng come in, covered her mouth and snickered.

Qian Jinxuan smiled: "I thought my husband was going to hesitate in the yard for a night?" ”

Wu Zheng smiled dryly: "Didn't I just eat too much, wandering around to eliminate food." ”

The second daughter laughed again.

Wu Zheng's old face was hot, and he cheekily squeezed between the two daughters, "Excuse me, give way...... Why don't we sleep together? ”

"Think beautifully!" Qian Jinxuan said coquettishly, "I will sleep with Sister Simin tonight, and my husband will just go to the West Chamber." ”

Wu Zheng didn't care about it at this time, he must have died and won't leave.

The capital is a shame for beasts, but the beasts are not as good as being helpless, at this time is still the time to be reasonable?

……。

July 21.

Wu Zheng convened the chief administrative officials of the General's Mansion and set the policy plan for the next three years, focusing on expanding production, enriching the people (ordinary laborers), narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, and increasing the people's labor income, and gave guidance on the distribution of students in the three major colleges.

Students who pass the assessment of the three colleges, students of Jiangnan College can directly fill the county government as a deputy with the rank of eight, and after three years of assessment, those with excellent grades will be promoted to two levels and moved to the chief officials of each county, and those who pass the grades will be promoted to one level and continue to use their original positions for three years, and then they can be directly moved to the chief officials of each county, and those who fail to pass the grades will be transferred to other counties to serve as deputy positions, and if they are not qualified after three years, they will be county officials or staff. Zhang Guowei, the newly promoted political envoy to the right, was solely responsible for this matter.

Faculty of Business students can choose to join the branches of the Financial Secretary in each county, starting with a deputy position, and being promoted or demoted to the Faculty of Arts, which is also a three-year period. The Financial Secretary is solely responsible for this matter.

The cadets of the military academy are directly assigned to the guards of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and they can initially be appointed to the deputy company level (equivalent to the military position of a sentry officer, which is also from the seventh rank), and they can be promoted or demoted to a comprehensive assessment of training quality and combat command ability. This matter is the sole responsibility of the commanders of the guards.

That is to say, all students who have learned from the three academies will be officials as soon as they leave the academies, and as for whether they will be promoted or demoted later, they will have to rely on their own abilities.

This move basically dispelled the doubts in the hearts of the people who watched and watched, so those who want to squeeze into the three colleges in the future can be described as a carp crossing the river, countless students, sharpened their heads and yearned for squeezing, and because of this, the enrollment threshold of the three major colleges began to increase, and there were entrance exams, of course, this is a later story.

But even so, the difficulty of entering the ranks of the students is very different from that of the previous dynasty.

The three major colleges do not need to study hard for ten years, nor do they need to have six arts such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, riding and archery, but only three years (later became four years).
