On 28 April, Wu Fanhui and his entourage arrived in Nanjing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Nanjing as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, once the capital, its prosperity is no less than the Beijing Division, if it must be classified, then the Ming capital should belong to the political center, and Nanjing is the economic center, from this level, Nanjing's prosperity and wealth, to some extent more than the capital, especially since the first year of Chongzhen, there have been repeated disasters in the north, and after the plundering of the Golden Tartars and the rebellion of the rogue, virtually weakened the prosperity of the capital, and Nanjing did not suffer any impact.

Of course, as a scholar, as an official of the court, no matter how rich Nanjing City is, no one wants to come here.

Nanjing's six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, basically belong to the leisure of the institution, the entire central organ of the capital, has a certain power is the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu and Nanjing Hubu Shangshu, Nanjing Military Department Shangshu concurrently serves as Nanjing garrison, counselor and machine, on behalf of the imperial court responsible for the military defense of the entire south, if there is any turmoil in the south, the military department Shangshu can ask for the mobilization of the army to quell it, Nanjing Hubu Shangshu is directly under the jurisdiction of the Nanzhili Fuzhou County taxes, although these taxes are nominally also handed over to the imperial court, but the Nanjing household department can budget, The expenses were listed, and after the approval of the imperial court, they were also ordered to be appropriately allocated.

In addition, there are also some powers such as the Nanjing town guard eunuch and the Nanjing garrison lord.

The eunuchs of Nanjing town guard directly supervised the defense of Nanjing, oversaw the Nanjing Jinyi Guard, and were responsible for the security of the Nanjing city, while the Nanjing garrison lords were responsible for the jurisdiction of the Nanjing Jingying on behalf of the imperial court.

Generally speaking, when the ministers of the DPRK and China are sent to serve in the Nanjing Sixth Ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they are either excluded, or the emperor is no longer welcome, or they are old and have little energy, and they are about to be idle.

However, the situation of Nanjing Guozijian is different, after all, this is a place to cultivate scholars, and the sacrificial wine of Nanjing Guozijian is concurrently served by Zhan Shifu, the young Zhan Shi, who belongs to a person with high academic virtue and respect, and his identity is very noble.

Eighteen-year-old Wu Fanhui served as the Nanjing Guozi Priest Wine, how to say it is a little awkward, although Wu Fanhui even won six yuan, but after all, he is too young, and the qualifications are obviously insufficient, so the imperial court's arrangement has caused a small discussion in Nanjing, and many people are waiting for the young Guozi Priest Wine to take office.

Chen Daiming and others waited at the Bao'en Temple outside the Jubao Gate.

The mansion he purchased is in the area of Fugui Mountain, which is located behind the Imperial Palace, close to the Taiping Gate, from here, it takes about half an hour to walk to reach the Guozijian located on Chengxian Street.

The environment around Fugui Mountain is relatively quiet, and the most lively place in Nanjing should be in the Jubaomen area, where the famous Qinhuai River, Nanjing Gongyuan and Nanjing Fuxue are all in the Jubaomen area.

Nanjing, as the capital of Nanjing, is not allowed to ride horses, and Chen Daiming has already prepared the carriage.

The carriage entered from the Jubao Gate, and the guards at the city gate were also the sergeants of the Nanjing Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and after they saw Wu Fanhui's guidance, they quickly got out of the way and let the brigade enter the city.

Wu Fanhui has no interest in paying attention to everything around the road, they have to pass through the Qinhuai River, but in terms of direction, Jubaomen is located in the south of Nanjing City, which is equivalent to the south gate of the ordinary city, and Taiping Gate is one of the north gates of Nanjing City.

Wu Fanhui was thinking about what he should do after he took office.

Poetry and painting, vassal elegance these matters, Wu Fanhui will definitely not do, this is not what he needs to do as a national prince of the priest wine, no matter whether his qualifications are enough or not, since he was enshrined by the imperial court as the Nanjing Guozi priest wine, that is, in his position, he will do a good job in the teaching and examination of the national prince.

The main source of Nanjing Guozijian students is the meritorious scholars in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places, all of them belong to the identity of students, as for the main list and deputy list of people, most of the department is concentrated in the capital Guozijian to study, once these people from the capital Guozijian work, they can wait for the dispatch of the Ministry of Officials, become the court and local officials, and the main task of Nanjing Guozijian is, in the final analysis, to help the royal family and the court domesticate many scholars.

The situation in Nanjing is very complicated, especially among scholars, there are many scholars with ambitions and low vision, and the Nanjing Jinling Conference of the Fushe has produced a huge shock in the Guozijian, so that many prisoners of the Guozijian have very complicated thoughts, which makes the wishes of the royal family and the imperial court not be truly implemented.

Whether Wu Fanhui's appointment as the priest of the Nanjing Guozi this time is because of these reasons, whether the emperor or the imperial court wants to use Wu Fanhui's youth and momentum to eliminate some bad signs in the Guozijian, this is also a matter that is not clear.

Early in the morning of 29 April, Wu Fanhui went to the Ministry of Officials and Rites in Nanjing to report.

This is just a procedural issue, indicating that Wu Fanhui has officially taken office, and Nanjing Guozijian is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials and the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, but in fact, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites cannot manage the affairs of the Guozijian at all, and if there are any problems that need to be solved, or what are the relevant twists and turns, Wu Fanhui is directly reported to the emperor or the cabinet, and does not need to go through the Nanjing Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites.

Wu Fanhui's report still caused a slight shock in the Nanjing Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials.

Bi Maokang, the right attendant of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, who was nominally in charge of Guozijian, personally sent Wu Fanhui to Guozijian to take office.

Seeing more cattle people, Wu Fanhui has long been without the previous curiosity and surprise, the Bi Maokang in front of him, is famous in history, should have invented the flintlock pistol two years later, so that the development of firearms has been a big step forward.

At that time, Wu Fanhui came to Guozijian, which is located in the south of Jiming Mountain.

The scale of Nanjing Guozijian is quite grand, here the Song Dynasty is the official school, after the development of the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, to the Ming Dynasty is established as the Guozijian, its scale belongs to the largest among the schools.

Nanjing Guozijian is east to Xiaoying, west to Jinxiang River, south to Pearl Bridge, north to Jilong Mountain, east to west about ten miles.

Along the way, Bi Maokang has briefly introduced the basic situation of Nanjing Guozijian.

Guozijian has a total of 1,089 houses, 80 acres of vegetable fields, 5 doctors of the Five Classics, 15 assistant teachers in six halls, 10 Xuezheng, 7 Xuelu, 15 other personnel, and 2,225 prisoners.

When Bi Maokang introduced the situation, he paid attention to Wu Fanhui's expression from time to time.

The look on Wu Fanhui's face was very calm.

There are still too few scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and there are only more than 2,000 prisoners in the huge Nanjing Guozijian, which is too far away from the university after a few hundred years. The total number of teachers and students is more than 20,000, and it is not yet one of the largest universities.

Everything is inferior, only reading is high, the basic national policy of the Ming Dynasty is to talk about martial arts to secure the world, culture and education to govern the world, this understanding has been deep-rooted in the Ming Dynasty, even more so in the south, which also leads to Nanjing Guozijian has an unusual status, and many of the prison students who study here, the probability of participating in the township examination high school is very large, and the students who can enter the Guozijian to study, some of them have a very good knowledge, these people have studied in the Guozijian, and the probability of participating in the township examination high school must be greater.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the status of Nanjing Guozijian was even more respected, and the number of its prisoners reached more than 10,000 people at the time, but with the relocation of the capital, more and more students went to the capital Guozijian to study, and the status of Nanjing Guozijian slowly declined, and it could not be compared with before.

After the Zhengde period, there were many changes in the capital and Nanjing Guozijian, the most important change was that the category of prisoners changed, the tribute supervisor, the eunuch, the shadow supervisor and the regular supervisor began to be clear, the tribute supervisor is the student recommended by the yamen of Fuzhou County to go to the Guozijian to study, the eunuch is the township test of the main list and the deputy list of the lifter, after the examination failed to enter the Guozijian to study, the shadow supervisor is to rely on the merits and rank of the ancestors to enter the Guozijian to study, the regular supervisor is to donate money to enter the Guozijian to study.

This leads to a great difference between the students of the Guozi Prison, among which the supervisor has the best knowledge and the highest status, and the number of years of study is also about one to two years, followed by the tribute supervisor, the shadow supervisor again, and the regular supervisor is the worst, and the study time of the tribute supervisor, the shadow supervisor and the regular supervisor is at least about three years, and if you can't pass the exam many times, there is also the possibility of being directly removed.

The number of eunuchs in Nanjing is not large, accounting for a very small part, and the number of shadow eunuchs is also very small, after all, most of the people who occupy the merits and ranks of their ancestors and enter the Guozijian to study, most of them go to the capital Guozijian, and the most are the tribute eunuchs and regular eunuchs, and the number of the two is roughly the same.

It can be seen from this that there are a lot of rich people in the south, no matter what, the prisoners are all meritorious scholars, as a family of merchants, the children can become prisoners, but also indicates the improvement of the family status, so many businessmen, willing to take out the money, send their children to study in the country, to obtain the fame of the scholars, of course, the country can also increase their own income through this method.

And the power to recruit the regular eunuch is in the hands of the prince of the kingdom to oversee the sacrificial wine.

The year when Wu Fanhui took office was a crucial year, the township examination was to be held in September, most of the inmates of the Guozijian had to drop out, a new round of enrollment was about to begin, and the number of regular supervisors recruited was under Wu Fanhui's control.

Therefore, the arrival of the young Wu Fanhui in Nanjing Guozijian has attracted a lot of attention, and the people who are ready to visit have already begun to wait in line.
