At the end of June, Nanjing Guozijian became quiet, many prisoners left from Guozijian, and some prisoners stayed here temporarily, waiting for the upcoming township examination, while the doctors of the Five Classics and teaching assistants began to prepare for the township examination, they were going to participate in the township examination-related matters, and they would become the outer curtain officials of the township examination.

After careful consideration, Wu Fanhui finally made a decision, that is, to recommend Xie Zong, the magistrate of Yangquan County, Shanxi, to serve as the secretary of the Nanjing Guozijian.

Xie Zong, Wu Fanhui is not particularly familiar with this person, but he believes in one thing, he recommended Xie Zong, as a fellow villager in Shaanxi, Xie Zong must be grateful to Dade and will do his best to do things, and Xie Zong has served as the magistrate of Wenshui County and Yangquan County in Shanxi, and he still has the ability, so letting such a person become his deputy can save a lot of trouble.

From July to September, it is the time for Guozijian to recruit prisoners, although it is said that today's Guozijian is not comparable with the early Ming Dynasty, but it is still regarded as a place where sages gather, and all the prisoners who have graduated from Guozijian are also regarded as sages by the local people, and Chengxian Street is still the symbol of Guozijian.

Eunuchs, tribute eunuchs and shadow eunuchs, these three types of prisoners, Guozijian does not have many places to be in charge, they are all recommended by the local government, with the consent of the imperial court or the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, you can enter Nanjing Guozijian to study, and the Nanjing household department will also arrange corresponding expenses according to the number of prisoners, including the meals and accommodation of many prisoners, etc., but the recruitment of regular supervisors, this is a matter decided by Guozijian itself.

The nature of the regular supervisor is similar to that of self-financed students after a few hundred years, their food, clothing, housing and transportation are all responsible for themselves, and they also have to pay a certain fee before they can enter the Guozijian to study.

Generally speaking, if you want to become the regular supervisor of the Guozijian, you need to provide the corresponding documents, including your performance, etc., which will be reviewed by the Guozijian, and then reported to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials for the record.

After the Wanli period, the requirements for routine supervisors were gradually reduced, and some routine supervisors even only registered in the Guozijian, and did not really go to the Guozijian to study, but only needed to take the final examination and pass it.

The money paid by the regular supervisor belongs to the Guozijian and is used to improve the many expenses of the Guozijian.

After taking office for nearly two months, Wu Fanhui figured out that the original Guozijian's doctors of the Five Classics, teaching assistants, Xuezheng, Xuelu, and professors, etc., also had additional subsidies, that is, according to the teaching situation, the corresponding subsidies were given, for example, the monthly subsidies that the doctors of the Five Classics could get could reach about ten taels of silver, which was much higher than that of Yulu.

And the source of these money is the contribution of the regular supervisor.

This made Wu Fanhui very emotional, the situation of self-financed students that appeared hundreds of years later still exists now, and the teacher's class time subsidy is also available now.

It is no wonder that many gentlemen in the country are able to concentrate on teaching and educating people, and they can still do things with peace of mind under such a low level of officials.

Most of the regular supervisors were the children of the Shang family.

Don't underestimate the identity of the regular eunuchs, after they graduated from the Guozijian, they all have the fame of scholars, according to the relevant regulations of the imperial court for scholars, the regular supervisors can also be exempted from part of the taxes, do not bear the conscription, and in the eyes of the people, the regular supervisors are also scholars with status.

The children of the Shangjia family, if they want to become the regular supervisor of the Guozijian, almost all of them are the words of the Guozijian sacrificial wine, thinking that you are qualified and can enter the Guozijian to study, then even if you have no knowledge level, you can also become the regular supervisor of the Guozijian, as for the graduation exam, many gentlemen of the Guozijian understand, after all, their daily subsidies are from these regular supervisors, so when the exam, the requirements will not be particularly strict, and you can be sloppy in the past, anyway, the benefits that the regular supervisor can get, It is all given by the imperial court, and there is no need for someone to come up with money.

From the end of June, Wu Fanhui did not want to be peaceful, first of all, many officials in Nanjing came to visit the mansion, and the purpose of their visit was to help introduce the regular supervisors, and then the young people who were introduced who wanted to enter the Guozijian to study, under the leadership of the elders or others, made a special trip to the Guozijian to visit, and their purpose was to become the regular supervisors of the Guozijian.

Of course, these people did not come empty-handed, they all brought gifts and silver, and the conditions at home were good, and most of the shots were more than fifty taels of silver, and those with slightly worse conditions were also sold at twenty taels to thirty taels of silver.

The number of prisoners recruited by the Nanjing Guozijian is still fixed, and it is planned to recruit about 2,200 prisoners, of which the number of regular prisoners is controlled at about 450 people, and each regular supervisor who enters the Guozijian needs to pay 100 taels to 150 taels of silver, which is 60,000 taels of silver as a whole, which is enough to maintain the expenses of the Guozijian for about three years.

As the country's eunuch for sacrificial wine, recruiting these 450 or so regular eunuchs can get at least 20,000 taels of silver from it, and spread it evenly for about three years, which is also 7,000 taels of silver per year.

Even if it is the prefect, governor and magistrate of Fuzhou County, it is unlikely that there will be such a high additional income every year, of course, where the conditions are good, the income will definitely be higher.

The number of regular supervisors was only 450, which meant that not everyone could come to visit Wu Fanhui, either recommended by the local government or by officials in Nanjing.

Speaking of the officials of the Sixth Ministry of Nanjing and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they are also a little pitiful, they almost rely on the Yulu to eat, because there is no actual power, it is unlikely to have any extra income, the Nanjing Household Department took into account the actual situation, when calculating the salary, left a part of the vacancy, through various methods, increased the income of the officials of the Sixth Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but this part of the money is not very much, talk to supplement the family.

Nanjing's six Shangshu, as well as the imperial envoys of the Imperial Procuratorate, the situation must be different, these people used to be in the capital as officials with real power at all levels, and the money gathered was enough, after coming to Nanjing, they were almost in a state of leisure, and they didn't care about that little income, so most of them would not consider Yulu.

Recommend regular supervisors for Guozijian, that is, where some Nanjing officials can get income.

From this point of view, the Guozi Supervisor has become a chain of interests, the family of the merchant is willing to take out the silver, the Guozi Supervisor Wine, the officials of Nanjing, and the local government have become the links in this chain of interests, one link after another, everyone takes what they need, and gets income from it, no one should break this rule, otherwise the other links in the chain of interests will collapse, and everyone will vent their anger on the people who break the rules.

Wu Fanhui is undoubtedly the most important link in this link, and all the benefits are transferred from him.

Once the children of his family can enter the Guozijian, then the Shangjia will visit one by one with gifts, but he will not be able to enter the Guozijian, and the Shangjia will not take out the silver.

To put it bluntly, routine supervision has become a transaction.

Of course, the whole link is very secretive, and the officials who can introduce the regular supervisors to Guozijian with face are by no means ordinary people, at least in Nanjing, they are well-versed in the way of officialdom, and they do things without leakage, and there will be no obstacles, let alone let those who supervise the imperial history and the officials seize the handle.

For example, when visiting Wu Fanhui, it was not at home, but in Guozijian, because Guozijian sacrificed wine to take the school examiner, which was a rule set by the imperial court, and no one could know what happened during the school examination.

Wu Fanhui was busy during this time, and gradually figured out the rules for recruiting regular supervisors in Guozijian.

To say that before the crossing, Wu Fanhui had also seen these things, and after understanding the whole rules for recruiting regular supervisors, he knew that he could not be a maverick, just like saying that the system and rules had rotten, and it was impossible to stop many bad rules without fundamentally changing them.

It is the imperial court that suffers, and the final burden still falls on the ordinary people.

Wu Fanhui did not personally collect the silver, and these things were completely handled by Wang Baofu and Chen Daiming and others.

Until the end of July, the list of more than 400 routine supervisors was completely determined, and after the list was sorted out, it was sent to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites for filing, and then the Ministry of Rites issued a document, all of these people's names were in the documents, and they had become the next regular supervisors of the Guozijian, and the list of shadow supervisors was basically determined at this time, and the list of eunuchs and tribute supervisors could not be really determined until after the township test.

At the end of July, Wang Baofu and Chen Daiming reported to Wu Fanhui that they had received too many items such as rice, flour, tea, and silk at home, and that they had piled up several rooms, and that they had received a total of more than 21,000 taels of silver.

This figure makes Wu Fanhui staggered, it seems that the merchants in the south are not ordinary wealthy, they rely on the combination of southern scholars and doctors, do not bear any taxes, and in the process, they are also gradually changing their identities and transforming into the family of the squire.

You must know that even in Nanjing, ordinary people can maintain a well-off life by spending up to 20 taels of silver a year, and the figure in the north is even lower.

The recruitment of a Guozi prison supervisor made Wu Fanhui see a lot of things clearly, and also understood that the Ming Dynasty was terminally ill, to the point of hopelessness, and only by fundamentally changing could we reverse the cancer on this system.
