Volume 11 Chapter 16 Candidates from the Dependent States Gather in the Capital
The successful development of the ploughing dragon not only solves the problem of the difficulty of sparse cultivation in the northwest land, but also brings an unexpected joy, you must know that when the road is repaired, it is also necessary to dig the roadbed, and the depth of the ploughing dragon dug out is just right, and the speed of road construction in Xicheng District is therefore significantly accelerated.
If you want to get rich first build the road, uh, it seems a bit off-topic, in fact, the construction of this city is also like this, generally the road is built first and then build a house, the road is repaired quickly, the houses on both sides of the road are naturally built quickly, the factories, houses, and workshops in Xicheng District have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the onlookers are called a pleasure.
Zhu Cijiong actually wants to go and see it often, and it is quite rewarding to see a new city born under his rule, but he doesn't have time, because Ding Chouke's meeting and palace examinations are about to be held.
This time, it is not only the candidates of the Ming Dynasty who want to come to the capital to take the exam, but also the candidates of North Korea, Dongying and Ryukyu who want to come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to take the exam, Huang Daozhou originally suggested that all the vassal states should issue an edict to let them all obey the "Ming Vassal State Decree System" and send candidates to the capital to take the exam, but Zhu Cijiong thought about it and forgot it.
First of all, the current situation in the capital does not allow, now the old city is already overcrowded, the candidates of the Ming Dynasty come to the capital to ask their grandfather to tell their grandmother to find a place to live, and the candidates of North Korea, Dongying and Ryukyu can only be aggrieved and squeezed into the newly built Daming Academy of Liberal Arts.
More importantly, Zhu Cijiong knows the virtues of those vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea can be said to be the most obedient vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and he is a little reluctant when he accepts the "Ming Vassal State Decree System", the attitude of other vassal states can be imagined, he doesn't want the envoy of the Ming Dynasty to go to other vassal states to eat white eyes or even be ridiculed.
Of course, you have to go sooner or later, but you have to be ready to go, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty took the "Ming Vassal State Command System" to make those vassal states comply, this white eyes and ridicule are estimated to be inevitable, however, Zhu Cijiong wants them to understand that there is a price to pay for daring to give the Ming envoy a look, and this kind of thing is unbearable if you don't respect the Ming envoy, and you must immediately send troops to give them some color!
Now Zhu Cijiong doesn't have the time, nor does he have the strength to deal with the problem of the vassal state, so let's let them be free for two years first, and then when he is free, he will gather the army first, and then send someone to promulgate the "Ming Vassal State Decree System", and if he dares to be disobedient, he will be beaten to death, and he will be beaten until he is obedient!
Huang Daozhou doesn't have time to think about this problem now, just the candidates from North Korea, Dongying and Ryukyu are busy with him, you must know that there are thousands of people admitted to each subject in the Ming Dynasty alone, North Korea and Dongying are not small countries, the civil service system is almost the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, the number of people is naturally not small, and the two countries together have thousands of people, as for the dozens of people in the Ryukyus, it is nothing.
This time in order to reflect the demeanor of a great country, the treatment of these candidates is not low, everyone arranges a single room, not to mention, eat and drink Daming all-inclusive, not to mention anything else, just this accommodation problem has given Huang Daozhou a headache for a long time, although the new Daming Academy of Arts and Humanities is not smaller than the comprehensive university of later generations, but there is no dormitory building in the Ming Dynasty at this time, it is all bungalows, Huang Daozhou is also considered to be atmospheric, dozens of rows of dormitories have been built in the garden-like campus, all of which are luxury single rooms, but the problem is that the whole adds up to more than 500 rooms, and the number is still doubled.
In the end, Zhu Cijiong gave him an idea, and the whole calligraphy and painting screens were separated from them, and they were divided into two rooms, so that those candidates could choose friends or acquaintances to live together.
As for the problem of eating, it's okay, the eating habits of these three vassal countries and the Ming Dynasty are similar, but these countries are relatively scarce in materials, so the dishes are very small, and each dish is only a few bites.
Daming is not picky at all in terms of diet, catching a plate can make you eat all-you-can-eat, a big table, an average of three or four dishes per person, eat until you can't eat!
In short, Huang Daozhou is still willing to pay his blood in terms of food and housing, his thinking is a typical Heavenly Empire thought, he can be ruthless in dealing with those disobedient vassal states, and kill people to the cold, but for the vassal states that have been tamed, he is extremely generous, so good that you are numb.
How did these candidates from the subject country feel after they came to Daming? This is really hard to describe, what they have seen and heard along the way makes them feel like they are in a dream, and the strength of Daming is beyond their comprehension!
In fact, as close neighbors of the Ming Dynasty, they had long heard of the strength of the Ming Dynasty, but they did not expect that a country could be so strong.
The candidates of Korea and the Ryukyus will not talk about him first, the candidates of Dongying have the most profound experience of this point, they have always thought that Dongying is very strong, because Dongying has four super islands, and there are fifty or sixty vassal states, with a total strength of no less than 500,000, how powerful this is!
However, their shogunate Emperor Tagawa Yu suddenly called tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and even agreed to cut the army and hand over the command of the army to the Ming Dynasty!
To be honest, not many Dongying people can figure out this matter, what is all this for? The Ming Dynasty is strong, but Dongying is also powerful, the famous Warring States general Toyotomi Hideyoshi also fought with the Ming Dynasty in Korea, if he hadn't died suddenly, the outcome is really not good, to the country with similar strength to the tribute, no one can figure it out!
However, from the moment these were admitted to the Daming battleship, they began to slowly figure it out, the ones sent by the Daming to pick them up were all super battleships, and the huge size alone shocked them, Dongying didn't have such a big battleship, and there were ten of them!
After getting on the battleship, the Ming army did not restrict their freedom, so they were fortunate to see the configuration of this super battleship, and those who were interested counted it carefully, there were hundreds of guns on a battleship, and the giant cannon in the bow of the ship was even bigger than an adult, for Dongying, where earth cannons were rare, this was simply an artifact!
When they arrived at the East Daying, they were even more frightened, it turned out that there were hundreds of such super battleships, and there were even three super ships larger than this kind of battleship parked there quietly, and it made people shudder to look at it!
When they saw the huge Dongda camp, they couldn't say anything in shock, my God, is this still a city, the largest vassal state in Dongying doesn't have so many people!
When they got on the train, their faces turned white with fright, my God, what kind of monster is this steel monster!
When they saw the huge capital, they were completely convinced, there was more than one such super city, and they could see two in one day, and the strength of the Ming Dynasty was beyond their imagination!
When they lived in the dormitory provided by Daming, it was already like a dream, such a luxurious room was just a place for ordinary students to live, and the palace in Dongying was probably only like this, how rich Daming was!
