Chapter 324: The Officer's Test

Many times, the speed at which things are resolved cannot keep up with the changes in the state of affairs.

Zhu Houhuang desperately rushed forward, wanting Dongyong to become strong as soon as possible, but the situation was not. But the more desperately he ran forward, countless such and such problems, like ropes, were wound from all directions, entangled Zhu Houhuang to death.

No single problem is any problem. It's all a system problem.

Under the strong implementation of Lu Wan, Dongyong is divided into Beigang as the center, Yongbei Mansion, Yongnan Mansion with Dayuan as the center, the two prefectures are added up, there are more than a dozen counties, each county is not much to say, with the county order, the county Cheng, the county lieutenant, and the small officials at all levels, a hundred people are not much, but from now on, the county clerks of Dongyong have not been full, only the big members, Penghu, Beigang, the three counties are full of personnel, and their full staff also has a special reason.

Originally, he wanted to set up a yamen at the provincial level, but the reality forced Lu Wan to have to adopt the method of one yamen and two sets of brands. That is to say, the Yongnan Mansion is the Dayuan County Ya. Yongbei Mansion is Beigang County.

From this point of view, the others are not compiled.

Penghu is different from other places, all other places are newly opened up raw lands, and the output is still very small, but Penghu is the trade center of Yongguo, the hub of trade between the South Seas and the East China Sea. It is also King Yong's seal to Dongyong, and the influence on all parts of Dongyong still needs time to brew. But the impact on Penghu has already been reflected at this time.

Penghu County has been able to provide tax support for Zhu Houhuang. Therefore, the special status of Penghu County, so the scribes can be full.

There are 1,000 civil servants in more than a dozen counties at the grassroots level alone. Not to mention, in addition to the local system, Zhu Houhuang also has a central system that is not smaller than the local system, as well as the Shaofu system.

Lu Wan presided over the water conservancy project of the entire Dongyong, and a large number of scribes were needed. There is also the financial system presided over by Wu Xingzhi, which also needs a large number of people.

The mathematicians and astronomers who followed Zhu Houhuang to Dongyong, except for a few people such as Zhu Yu, were all under the hands of Wu Xingzhi. There were also personnel from other departments, a few in the hundreds.

In the Shaofu system, caravans, workshops, mines, and even Yongwang's Mansion, etc., require a lot of manpower. Zhu Houhuang doesn't know the specific number, but it is definitely not much less than the local system, the central system, and the number of people.

And not to mention the army.

The army is a little better. Under the auspices of Zhu Houhuang, Yili demanded that everyone, even non-commissioned officers, should study military orders and be literate. The former pro-sergeant who has been trained by Zhu Houhuang can serve as some low-level officers, or low-level scribes. Due to the existence of these backbones cultivated by Zhu Houhuang, even if the army of King Yong expands, the combat effectiveness will not decrease much, but the sailor division is different.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a great shortage of water teachers, how could Zhu Houhuang think of setting up another water division college.

Zhu Houhuang silently calculated in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "The entire Dongyong needs at least three or five thousand scribes, and if all these hundreds of thousands of people are arranged, more people will be needed." ”

Only then did he know what the so-called heritage was, and the literacy rate, which he never cared about in later generations, was one of the heritage.

Three or five thousand literate people, it doesn't seem like much, but people who are really capable of reading and writing can mix well in their hometowns, how can they go to the ocean and come to Dongyong to live.

When Zhu Houhuang thought that he wanted to establish rule in Nanyang and needed a minimum number of officials, he had a headache. Secretly said: "Talent, money and food, and war are the three mountains to face in the future." ”

Zhu Houhuang raised his head, looked at Wang Yangming and said, "I will teach Master Wang about the official test." ”

Wang Yangming has a high status, after all, the entire Dongyong, there are only two Jinshi Lu Wan and Wang Yangming, and in terms of fame, the two of them are fighting each other, regardless of whether they are up or down, and Zhu Houhuang can't let Wang Yangming stay idle. Although he has other plans for Wang Yangming, this requires slow communication and a matter in front of him.

"Master Wang, Dongyong is short of people, this time the difficulty of the official examination is a little lower, anyone with a little knowledge and arithmetic foundation can be recruited." Zhu Houhuang couldn't wait to tell Wang Yangming and let him recruit all the writing.

But after all, he is a prince, and he can't say it so bluntly. But he believed that Wang Yangming knew what he meant.

Wang Yangming said: "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "This matter is discussed between Wang Shi and Zhu Yuan. ”

Zhu Yuan is Zhu Yu. His position has not changed, he has always been the head of Dongyongfu School, but his students have changed several batches.

There is a shortage of people in Dongyong, almost to the point of starvation.

After arranging these things, there will be the matter of Shaofu.

Shaofu's open source plan was very successful, at least the scale of iron smelting expanded, bringing a lot of benefits to Zhu Houhuang, the income from salt and iron, gold, and trade income, which was already Zhu Houhuang's biggest benefit.

Xu Song is quite capable, and Zhu Houhuang can rest assured that he will hand over the affairs of Shaofu to Xu Song.

If there is nothing to do, in fact, Zhu Houhuang has to deal with not too many things, half of the general affairs are handled by Lu Wan, although Dongyong was first built, many things, a thousand things, but for Lu Wan, an old bureaucrat who has led soldiers, fought battles, and served as a heavenly official in the ministry, it is a trivial matter at all.

Xu Song can also handle the affairs of Shaofu, and Zhu Houhuang does not think that he can be much better than Xu Song for the business behavior of this era.

In the army, Qi Jingtong can also share one or two burdens for him. Therefore, Zhu Houhuang's meeting was mainly to coordinate all parties, such as the contradiction between Shaofu and Lu Wan. There is also financial allocation. And so on and so forth.

A lot of things can be handled, but there is a lack of people to make a decision, so with Zhu Houhuang presiding, but after a while, everything was dealt with.

But another problem has emerged.

"Your Highness, before Your Highness left, it was a wise move to organize fishing, for more than a month, each ship could catch almost 100 stones a day, and the shipyard also began to build ships in the manner of His Highness, and from this month onwards, almost every day a day boats could be launched."

Xu Song said.

"One day under the water, a boat?" This speed startled Zhu Houhuang and said, "How is this possible?" ”

Xu Song said: "It is still His Highness who is wise, Li Dagong used His Highness's method to determine the specifications of all ships, recruited a large number of apprentices, manufactured parts according to the specifications, and finally assembled them. That's what we have now. ”

Zhu Houhuang was overjoyed and said, "Okay, give more apprentices." Shipbuilding is the top priority of Dongyong. Although Zhu Houhuang has experienced several naval battles in this era, he still has some ignorance about the method of naval warfare. How to fight at sea in order to win the war? Zhu Houhuang still lacks a concept, so he wants to use the most stupid method, which is to use force to suppress people, as if Japan and the United States are fighting, sink one ship, and then make up for three. If he presses people with this, he doesn't believe it, the old nest of the Buddha machine is thousands of miles away, and he dares to fight with him in the South Seas?

In his strategy, the shipyard is an important support.

Zhu Houhuang attached great importance to the shipyard, thought for a while, and continued: "We must prepare enough timber and enough craftsmen, and when we need it, we must rebuild a Zheng He fleet within a year." ”

"Yes." Xu Song naturally knew that it was very difficult, but he was confident that he would complete this task. "However, there is a problem now, Your Highness, the Shaofu has consumed a lot of manpower and material resources for the fishing boats, and the fishing that has been brought over is not under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, so it is really impossible to say?"

"Your Highness, Zheng Shen is a sailor, and his current fishing fleet should also belong to the sailor, so how can this catch be delivered to the Changshi Mansion for no reason? Please also ask Your Highness to investigate. Xu Dong suddenly spoke.

As soon as Xu Dong spoke, Lu Wan coughed slightly twice and said, "Your Highness, you also know that the Changshi Mansion is embarrassed now, are you still embarrassed to wait for me at this little catch?" ”
