Chapter 224: Chrysostom Yuyan
"My God, if I let those fathers and villagers in my hometown know that I have studied hard for so many years, and in the end I only end up with an official position of growing vegetables in Beijing, then ...... That ......"
"That's that, that! That's an official position! Your fathers and fellow villagers are glad to know this. ”
"But don't be complacent, although the rankings are out, but there will be a second round of interviews!"
The content of this second round of face-to-face examinations was to be asked by the college officials in charge of the invigilation according to Chen Mu's exam questions, in order to test the mastery of agricultural knowledge by those poor male students.
For the results and content of this scientific examination, it is not only those poor male students who are shocked.
The officials of the DPRK and China were also shocked when they heard that Chen Mu was preparing to set up a Ministry of Agriculture to help supervise the development of agriculture in various localities.
In their opinion, this was not necessary at all, and immediately several adults from the Ministry of Industry and the adults of the Ministry of Household jointly signed a joint petition to ask Chen Mu to withdraw the Ministry of Agriculture.
When Chen Mu saw those people expressing their attitudes, he sneered disdainfully.
He is the crown prince of the court, and now he is in power, and he wants to set up a department, is it possible that he is still in the way of these people's affairs?
Chen Mudang grabbed the pigtails of several household officials and cleaned them up fiercely!
Punish someone as a warning to others!
The officials of the court and the central government saw that Chen Mu had made up his mind to establish the Ministry of Agriculture, and when they learned that the scale of the Ministry of Agriculture was not large, and the number of officials was not large, they temporarily settled down.
They thought about it, after all, it was a newly set up department.
Even if Chen Mu had other plans, most of them wouldn't make any splashes.
If it really endangers the interests of their other departments, they will join the list!
Of course, Chen Mu knew the intentions of officials in various departments.
It's just that he didn't take those people's thoughts to heart.
In his view, the Ministry of Agriculture was established to communicate with local village officials and county officials.
This will not cause any conflict of interest and administrative troubles for the other six ministries at all.
On the day of the exam, Chen Mu sat in person, the curtain was down, listening to the comings and goings of the candidates in the hall.
They answered the invigilator's questions fluently, and Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.
After such a screening, 30 poor candidates were selected to join the Ministry of Agriculture.
This number is not small, thirty were accepted at one time, and those candidates who were selected were greatly surprised.
They were originally going to pack their bags and go back to their hometown, where would they have expected.
Peak loop turn!
Now there are seats for them to sit in, although they don't know what the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture are going to do and where their responsibilities are.
But now that the department has been established, they are the first officials.
They still clenched their fists and made up their minds that they must make some political achievements to show those families who look down on them.
After Chen Mu saw that the official candidates had been selected, he did not delay, and immediately asked people to remove the curtain and appear directly in front of all the poor male students.
Those male students were even more shocked when they saw Chen Mu appear, and they fell to their knees one after another, not daring to raise their heads.
Chen Mu's posture was peaceful, he waved his hand casually, and immediately some officials dared to look in the direction of Chen Mu.
Chen Mu said slowly.
"The Ministry of Agriculture was set up by me, and you were also recruited by me, and I will train you as my confidants in the future."
"The Ministry of Agriculture was established to supervise the development of agriculture in various places, and only by preserving the income of farmers can it be smoother to develop commerce and industry in the future."
"There are either floods or locust plagues everywhere, and there are several cities to the south that are suffering from drought."
"After the flood disaster and locust disaster in Qingcheng and several cities in the original city are resolved, I will send you and the adults of the Ministry of Industry to various places to prepare for the construction of water conservancy facilities in various places."
"And oversee the development of agriculture everywhere."
"And what you have to do is very simple, I will set up a council place for you officials of the Ministry of Agriculture in Beijing."
"Among them, the top five in this exam can serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, the waiter and other positions."
"The rest of the people are placed in subordinate positions in turn."
"Every year, you go to various cities to take turns and use the agricultural knowledge you are familiar with to guide local officials and farmers in agricultural production activities."
"I know that the agricultural knowledge you know today is some of the most basic, and that knowledge is already known to farmers and officials everywhere."
"I want you to use this knowledge to guide them, I'm afraid that some classes will have axes."
"Therefore, after you join the Ministry of Agriculture, I will arrange for university scholars from various schools to join the Ministry of Agriculture."
"On the one hand, it is to sit in the Ministry of Agriculture to teach you deeper agricultural knowledge."
"In addition, I will also ask people to collect some classic works related to agriculture among the people and send them to the Ministry of Agriculture."
"You need to learn as much about agriculture as you can within a month, and then you can rely on it when you go to various places to deal with agricultural matters."
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as we survive this difficult period in the early days of the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture, we will naturally be able to act more steadily and smoothly in the future.
When Chen Mu's words fell, everyone present was greatly surprised, and they didn't expect Chen Mu to think about it so thoroughly.
Everyone looked at each other, nodded in response, and felt uneasy in their hearts.
Even they themselves did not know whether the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture was meaningful.
Although it is true that the planting and production activities of farmers are the foundation for maintaining the economic development of various localities.
But in all dynasties, no one focused on agriculture.
In ancient times, everyone relied on the sky to eat, and the peasants cultivated the land to generate income, and who did not eat according to God's reward.
But since Chen Mu came, he didn't plan to let the people eat with God, but relied on his own hands and the knowledge in his head to eat.
Chen Mu made up his mind to let the affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture be implemented as soon as possible, and after screening out all the students, he arranged for someone to prepare the government and other trivial matters that night.
After everything was arranged, the night was already dark, and Chen Mu dragged his tired body out of the imperial study and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Ministry of Agriculture has been established, it is still a month before those officials can really grasp the real power and be sent to various places.
In this month, the floods and locust plagues that broke out in those cities still need to be solved.
But fortunately, he has made people search for a bachelor who is good at agricultural cultivation among the people.
He also invited people to Beijing, and prepared to arrange for some trustworthy officials to go to the cities where the locust plague broke out in the next few days, and first control the insect plague in those cities.
When he returned to the dormitory late at night, Chen Mu felt extremely tired.
As soon as he stepped into the main hall and was about to make people hold the lamp, Chen Mu felt that something in the darkness flashed quickly.
Chen Mu was taken aback, and immediately took a step back, and the entourage behind Chen Mu was even more vigilant and shouted.
"Who is it?"
