Chapter 311: Meizhou Public Examination

Zhao Yuan's image of being close to the people and loving the people has been established in the minds of the people in Meizhou as early as the implementation of the Juntian Order.

Although there are people who are full of resentment against Zhao Yuan because of the damage to their own interests, in this era, the poor people account for the vast majority after all.

Some landlords whose interests have been damaged have used the workshop share subscription coupons to occupy a certain amount of shares in the various attacks and defenses that have sprung up in various parts of Meizhou with a small amount of money, and the profits of this quarter have been distributed.

If it weren't for Zhao Yuan's clear stipulation that the stock subscription coupons could not be traded, they might have been able to make up for the losses caused by Juntian far by relying on those stock subscription coupons.

"As Lizheng, your family's land should be the most in the village, and you didn't complain about me when you were in Juntian Ling." Zhao Yuan followed Su Li towards the place where he had moved to the three families in Linhe Village.

"How can it be, Lord Thorn Shi, my family's land, in front of Juntian, is only three points more than other families, besides, now in the biscuit workshop not far from the side, my family has a little share." Su Li said with some embarrassment.

"Now the situation of each workshop has not been officially opened, and in the future, the dividends of those shares owned by your family will be far more than what your family earns from farming." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"What Lord Thorn Shi said must be right, but the land still needs to be planted." Suri is laughing.

"Look, are there many people in the village who go to work in the workshop?"

"Many, now when the farming is slack, whether male or female, as long as there is a suitable job, everyone will do it, and the money earned, the family will not worry about eating salt."

"Is it just enough to buy salt?" Zhao Yuan frowned.

"yes, even if there is a balance, it won't be too much." Su Li said as a matter of course.

"I remember, the salt in Meizhou is not expensive, is it because the salary is too small?"

"The price of salt is almost 25 times the price of wheat, but the salt is used less, and you can eat it for a long time if you buy a catty. The wages are indeed high, but the work in the workshop is too sought-after, and it is generally not our turn. Suri said with a smile.

"Lord Thorn Shi, over there is the land of the three families who have newly moved to our village, and the three of them are all skilled in planting crops, although most of these lands are still raw land, but the crops are growing well."

"That's good."

"Do you want to call them over?"

"No need, let's wait here, they'll be here in a moment." Zhao Yuan looked at the three families who were still on the other side of the field, bowing down and busy, and said.

"Then Master Thorn Shi go down to the shade of the tree and wait, I'll go and boil some tea." Su Li was looking at Zhao Yuan's insistence and said.

"Don't bother, let's go and sit under the shade of the tree for a while, and continue to chat."

……

Meizhou Thorn History Mansion, after Zhao Yuan is no longer here, it seems to be even busier here, especially to prepare for the recent official recruitment examination venue.

"Boss, Lord Thorn Shi won't be lazy, since we were fooled by him and became the chief of the Thorn Mansion, he doesn't seem to be as attentive to things as before."

"Third child, you are with the heart of a villain, the belly of a gentleman, Lord Assassin must be busy improving the assessment process for the recruitment of officials in the Assassin Mansion, and there must be something different."

"The matter is so big, the pressure on Lord Assassin Shi should not be small, this matter must be fast, I heard that the imperial court will send a large number of officials to our Shu in the near future."

"This matter should have been mastered by Lord Shi, except for our Meizhou, I am afraid that Shudi will make another wave."

"If you want me to say, we should expand the size of the workshop army, the army of the imperial court is not good, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and they can't suppress the rebellion in various places."

"There are too many involved in this matter, and the bottom line of Lord Shi, but our trade routes in Meizhou should not be affected too much, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be time for the Workshop Army to dispatch again."

"The issuance of Meizhou's new currency, only popularized to all parts of Meizhou, outside Meizhou, the progress is not ideal, except for the merchants with whom we have goods exchanges, exchanged Meizhou new currency to buy our goods, the people hold very little new currency."

"This is because the authority of Lord Thorn Shi is limited to Meizhou, and our new currency does not yet have the era name of the imperial court, and the appearance is a little different from the previous copper and iron coins, and the people in the outside world may be difficult to accept in a short time."

"The iron eunuch sent by the imperial court is too slow, otherwise, we would have been able to add the year name to our new coin."

"Isn't it normal to slow down, after all, we are just one place, and the year name to be added to the new currency is written by His Majesty himself, otherwise we can add it ourselves."

……

Before the completion of the recruitment of officials in the Assassin's Mansion, the current affairs of the Assassin's Mansion still seem to be a little chaotic, and there are often some involvements between various departments.

Zhao Yuan stayed in the New Zhao Mansion for nearly ten days, and it was not until a team of elite workshop troops strictly escorted Zhao Yuan's achievements in the past ten days to the Meizhou Newspaper Printing Workshop in Meizhou City that Zhao Yuan returned to the Yamen of the Assassin's Mansion.

"How is it, after so many days, has the place for my Meizhou official recruitment and assessment been determined?"

"Back to my lord, it has been decided, and as of the end of the registration time, there are many people who have signed up from all over the world. Due to the large number of people who signed up, various places have prepared corresponding test centers according to the actual situation, and the elite personnel of the workshop army will be sent by Lord Thorn Shi to invigilate the test. ”

"Okay, it should take three days for the typesetting and printing of the exam papers, and then the exam papers will be transported to various test centers, so the time for the exam will be set in seven days."

"I'll wait for this to be arranged to ensure that the exams in various places go smoothly."

"By the way, Lord Assassin Shi, the official of the imperial court to supervise the issuance of Meizhou's new currency is about to arrive, should we make some preparations?"

"Yes, in the future, this Lord Iron Supervisor will have a lot of dealings with us, so we must make him feel that coming to our Meizhou is like going home."

"Your Excellency."

Shao Meng gave Zhao Yuan a look, and Zhao Yuan understood that there should be something inconvenient to tell him.

Zhao Yuan's hand pressed down slightly, signaling Shao Meng not to worry, looking at the documents piled up on his desk, and began to understand what had happened in the more than ten days that he had been away from the Assassin's Mansion, as well as the progress of many tasks led by the Assassin's Mansion.

"All over Meizhou, the first phase of the new workshop has been completed, most of them have begun normal production, and a small number of those that have just been built have also entered the process of trial production."

"Relying on the Minjiang River to build the hydraulic weaving workshop, has been officially completed, the corresponding equipment, is in the stage of transfer and installation and commissioning, the initial need of 200 workers, has been convened completely, half a month of training."

"The progress of the Zhaohuo Workshop is relatively slow, and it should be due to the high requirements for fire prevention, and it will take some time to complete."

……

One by one, Zhao Yuan looked at it very carefully, the situation in various parts of Meizhou, there was no uprising team like in other places in Shudi, so the civil situation was stable.

The progress of the workshop has fully reached the progress required by Zhao Yuan, and some have even been completed ahead of schedule.

"It's not bad, in addition to the major event of official recruitment, the next thing is to strictly prevent all kinds of natural disasters and ensure a bumper harvest of autumn grain." After reading the document, Zhao Yuan instructed everyone.

"Yes, sir."

Seven days later, the official recruitment examination led by the Assassin Mansion will be officially held, because unlike the imperial examination of the imperial court, Zhao Yuan called this recruitment examination the Meizhou Public Examination.
