Time is the end of February in a blink of an eye, the spring equinox has passed, the snow in the capital has finally begun to melt slowly, the potatoes and spring wheat in the Huangzhuang have all been sown, and the villagers are now under the organization of the eunuchs, pushing the wheelbarrow to the capital every morning to collect manure, and transport it back to the Huangzhuang as fertilizer.

These wheelbarrows were made by craftsmen in the palace, and originally according to the plan to make thousands of ox carts for Huangzhuang, but later, considering the cost, the ploughing cattle in Huangzhuang were not enough to use, and the villagers had nothing to do when they were not farming, so Yang Su agreed to change to this wheelbarrow after the suggestion of the eunuch in charge of the village.

Killing two birds with one stone, the hygiene of the capital has been greatly improved, and Huangzhuang has sufficient fertilizer.

February is also the harvest season of Yang Su, first Cao Huachun, who went to Luoyang, sent someone to report, and the Fuwang Mansion copied out a total of more than 2 million taels of gold and silver, and 70,000 hectares of land.

Now the land is being replaced according to Yang Su's will, and the land in Luoyang is exchanged for the land of Zhili Province, and a new Huangzhuang is formed to lay the foundation for Yang Su's next plan!

Then there was news that Fang Zhenghua escorted Zhu Guoshu into Beijing secretly, although Yang Su no longer needed Zhu Guo, it was still good to reward the heroes!

Yang Su's big plan to gather craftsmen from all over the world has also begun to be implemented, and in the next three months, craftsmen from all over the country will basically arrive in the capital one after another, just in time for the potatoes to ripen, so you don't have to worry about food!

Now that the first ring task has also been completed, Yang Su has obtained five points of faint monarch value after not going to court for a month, plus the previous accumulation, his balance: 2.2 million taels of silver, and 10 points of faint monarch value. It's more affluent than ever!

"Emperor Qi's Xiao sacrificial wine is already waiting outside the palace!" Wang Chengen walked up to Yang Su and reminded softly.

"Let him in!" Yang Su stopped his pen and looked up and said.

After a while, Xiao Ming walked in from outside the hall with his head bowed and saluted Yang Su: "Ministers, see the emperor!" ”

"How's things going?" Yang Su asked.

"There are a total of more than 740 inmates who are unqualified in the Guozijian scientific examination, according to the emperor's will, let them retake the exam, and take the exam again in the next semester, all the inmates have taken the initiative to pay a hundred taels of retake fees, and there is no objection!

There is also the emperor said that the review material "three-year scientific examination" has been made, handed over to the father-in-law in the palace for printing, the day before yesterday by the Guozijian is responsible for selling, not only the prisoners, all the Beijing scholars, foreign businessmen are vying to buy, for a time the capital paper is expensive, just a few days to sell more than 10,000 copies, a total profit of 180,000 taels! Xiao Ming looked at Yang Su with admiration, the emperor really made money.

Just these two methods made everyone willing to pay money, and made a lot of money of more than 250,000 taels in a few days, and it can be expected that with the spread of that review material, the profit will be greater in the future, and it will be very long!

Do you want to take the Guozijian exam? I want to take the test! Do you buy the review materials compiled by Oil Tanhua, Hanlin Editing, and Guozi Priest Wine?

"You have done a good job, but you also have to take a long-term view, I promoted you to be the priest of the country, it is testing you, you can't just put your eyes on the country!

For example, like this "three-year scientific examination", can we make another "five-year imperial examination"! Wouldn't that have a wider audience?

Over the years, most people have no channels to understand the top three articles in the scientific examination, can we take them out, add some comments from Hanlin bachelors, and make it a "full score scientific examination"! Isn't that more sought after? So there are opportunities to make money everywhere, it depends on whether you have the eye to find opportunities! Yang Su instilled this idea in Xiao Ming.

"The emperor can rest assured, the minister will start to prepare when he goes back, and he will make these things in half a month!" Xiao Ming said excitedly.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, just do it step by step!" Yang Su nodded and said reassuringly.

"Your Majesty, three prison students have passed the scientific examination this time! I wonder how the emperor will reward them? Xiao Ming asked Yang Su for instructions.

Yang Su relied on Guozijian to make money, except for sighing a few insulting words and scolding Xiao Ming for not being a son of man, there were no other radical moves, it was entirely because of Yang Su's promise that he would reward the inmates who passed the Guozijian scientific examination! Otherwise, there is no benefit, who will pay the retake fee, who will buy the review materials!

"There are still three people who can pass the exam! It seems that there are still talents in the country! Yang Su sighed in his heart.

He personally instructed Xiao Ming to add questions on strategy, arithmetic, judgment and reasoning, language expression, and law, which were no less difficult than the civil service examinations of later generations.

Meritocracy, Yang Su has always been generous to real talents! As long as he can do things, even if it is the Donglin Party, Yang Su will use him!

"Tell the officials that these three people should be county orders, and order them to choose three counties and give them to them!" Yang Su ordered.

"Obey the order!" Xiao Ming knelt down to receive the order, and asked Yang Su again, "Your Majesty, the minister has found out that eighteen of the officials of the Guozi Prison have clearly joined the Donglin Party, and more than 100 of the prisoners have participated in the Restoration Society, and those officials and ministers have left them idle, how should these prisoners be dealt with, please ask the emperor to make it clear?" ”

"Officials are idle! However, those prisoners who can come to the country are all from well-to-do families, so let's raise them! It would be nice to let them pay the retake fee every semester! Yang Su said generously.

"It's the minister's order!"

"From today onwards, the Guozijian will carry out reforms, and a scientific examination will be held every semester, and all inmates must pass eight examinations in six subjects for four years before they can pass and be appointed as officials!" Yang Su handed his plan to Wang Chengen and asked him to pass it on to Xiao Ming.

"You go back and reform according to the system I wrote, and Guozijian will expand enrollment in the future. How did the students come about now? Yang Su asked.

"Emperor Qiqi, the prisoners are mainly divided into eunuchs and tribute supervisors, respectively, from our dynasty to raise people, show talents selected with excellent grades, into the Beijing division of the Guozi supervisor to study.

Among them, the tribute supervisors are the majority, and the tribute supervisors are mainly the annual tribute, the election of tribute, and the engong. The annual tribute and the election of tribute are selected from the talents from all over the country, and the descendants of the "sages" of the imperial court can directly enter the prison to study, for example, the Confucian family of Shengyan Gong has six places every year! If the emperor wants to expand the enrollment, the minister thinks that the selection of tribute and engong should be expanded! Xiao Ming suggested.

"Engong must indeed be expanded, but the election of tribute cannot be increased!" Yang Su squinted his eyes and refused.

The expansion of Engong will help him reward his subordinates, but the annual tribute can not be expanded anymore, the imperial court will give Xiucai silver every month, and the prisoners of the Guozijian will receive more silver every month, he can't abolish this article now, but if he wants him to continue to spend money to support these pit fathers, Yang Sucai will not do such stupid things!

"The minister is stupid, please ask the emperor to make it clear!" Xiao Ming has learned the essence of Wen Tiren, I don't know anything about the emperor, I will do what you say!

"Guozijian recruits regular tribute, as long as children can be enrolled, but every six months you have to pay tuition, accommodation fees, and textbook fees! Let's put the number at 1,000! A strange smile appeared on Yang Su's face.

Yang Su's move is not just to collect money, the reason why scholars are noble is because the number is too small, and Yang Su himself is a college student who is not as good as a dog in later generations! I know too well how big the blow to the scholars is after the expansion of recruitment, he is digging the foundation of the gentry!

"Obey the order!" Xiao Ming hurriedly received the order.

"Xiao Ming, you can rest assured when you go back this time, no one can stop you with me, but you must also pay attention to the way of doing things, I attach importance to the scholars to provide them with more ways to be loyal to me, you are selecting talents for the country." It's all a good thing, don't make a fuss about the government and the opposition just because you charge some tuition to make up for the financial crisis of Guozijian! Yang Su pointed at Xiao Ming earnestly.

"The emperor Shengming, the minister understands! It's just that the emperor is expanding enrollment, so what if the invigilators can't pass the exam? Xiao Ming asked distressedly.

"If you can't pass the exam in six years, let him graduate, and you can go to the county as a small official as appropriate!" Yang Su thought about how he could have a few levels after studying in Guozi for six years, and he could be a small official.

Xiao Ming nodded and sighed when he heard this, the emperor's move is sage, after all, people have spent so much money, and if they don't give something, it will cause complaints!

"However, Guozijian also has strict requirements for inmates, and some poor students will be persuaded to quit and expel every semester! Some people who don't listen to the teachings take the time to expel them! Yang Su added that he has always held grudges!

"The minister understands, but the minister asks the emperor to give them five years of opportunity to see if they can make a change! If they still don't come to their senses, the minister will definitely expel them in the fifth year! Xiao Ming asked with a straight face.

"Yes!" Yang Su nodded with satisfaction, Xiao Ming was still very satisfied with his performance! Don't be famous, do things for him, that is loyalty!
