Chapter 332: Understanding Political Intent

After staying in the local area for two days, the adults of the Ministry of Industry went to the next town and began to prepare for the government.

The local people were surprised to learn that an adult from the Ministry of Industry had come and was going to establish a government office.

They don't understand what the establishment of the Nafu government is going to do, but there are already some rumors among the people, it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince issued a decree that he intends to accompany a group of veterinarians to the counties.

Immediately, some people disdained it, thinking that His Royal Highness the Prince's current move was a policy of working hard for the people and hurting money.

"Train veterinarians? People have a hard time seeing a doctor, who has the leisure to treat their own animals? If those livestock, cattle and horses and the like, if they are sick and lost, where will anyone spend money to treat the livestock, cattle and horses? ”

"That's right, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks, if that's the case, then train veterinarians, and veterinarians will also be placed in a half-official position?"

"In this way, the number of officials in the imperial court is too large, and the tail is too big to fall!"

"The decree has not been issued yet, but there is just a rumor among the people, you don't have to think like this, even if you want to, don't say this behind your back, if it accidentally reaches the ears of His Royal Highness the Prince, be careful of your heads!"

"In my opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's idea is not bad, as far as I know, there is a shortage of veterinarians in various places now, and there is not even a veterinarian in our town."

"There is a veterinarian in the town not far from our town, and there are one or two villages around, but with such a large territory, there are only two or three veterinarians in several towns and villages."

"Now that there are more and more people raising livestock, cattle and horses in our town and town, what if there is an outbreak of that strange disease that can spread all over a large number of cattle and horses?"

There was a scholar sitting on the side of the road drinking tea, and when he heard a few passers-by sitting next to him who were also eating tea complaining about the decree issued by Chen Mu, he opened his mouth to refute it.

The passers-by were stunned when they heard the scholar say this, and then they glanced at each other, and immediately a passer-by spoke disdainfully.

"Strange disease? What strange disease can there be? As far as I know, the strange disease that spreads to livestock, cattle and horses has only broken out once or twice in the past ten or twenty years. ”

"How can it be that there will be frequent eruptions? Even if there is an outbreak, it is only necessary to mobilize veterinarians from all over the country to treat it, so why train veterinarians to send them to various places? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is a move to work hard and lose money! ”

"Who knows if after this veterinarian training comes out, will he really see the pigs, horses, cattle and sheep under our people, and those veterinarians will see them, not to mention how much silver."

"In my opinion, this is just a method used by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to collect money!"

This was outrageous, and when the fellow of the villager heard what the other party said, his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly poked the other party with his hand, and then shook his head.

There are still Beijing officials stationed in this town, and if this word spreads to the capital, those villagers are afraid that they will be arrested and killed by the county commanders.

When the villager had said that, he suddenly came back to his senses, and he immediately closed his mouth, and then rolled his eyes.

Although he didn't go any further, his current posture still showed what he was thinking.

When the scholar saw the appearance of the villagers, he shook his head and sighed.

Scholars are one of the few who can understand what Chen Mu did, and the people still account for the majority of people who do not understand Chen Mu's intentions, Chen Mu took Meng Qing's care of the long street, and was about to go to the women's training mansion to take a look, when he heard the sound of quarrels on the side of the road.

Chen Mu turned his head and glanced in the direction of the people sitting on the side of the road, his eyes moved slightly, the scholar was sensible, Chen Mu's eyes turned around the scholar, and saw that the clothes worn by the scholar were patched in several places.

The tea bowl in the scholar's hand was also quite rough, and it could be seen that he was drinking the cheapest kind of tea in the tea shop, and most of them were also using tea to quench his thirst.

There was also a burden on the scholar's side, looking at it, it should have come from another town, most of them were passing by here, Chen Mu caught a glimpse of the corner of a book exposed in the scholar's baggage, and he raised his eyebrows.

Looking at the appearance of this scholar, could it be that he is participating in the next imperial examination held in the capital?

Calculating the time, it is almost time for those students who participated in the imperial examination to go to the capital.

Some of those students have a long way to go, some people have a close road, and those who have a long way to go to the capital a year and a half in advance, after arriving in the capital.

If it is early, simply stay in the capital for a while, familiarize yourself with the environment and climate of the capital, live in the local area for a while, and study the homework in hand by the way.

Because they are worried that the road is far away, and they encounter dangers and accidents on the road, thus delaying their trips, the vast majority of candidates who are far away will leave one to two months early.

Because of this, this time is also the time when many candidates are in a hurry to prepare for the capital to prepare for the next imperial examination.

Although it had only been a few months since the last imperial examination ended, Chen Mu sighed faintly and withdrew his gaze.

It was too hard for these candidates to go to the capital to participate in the imperial examination, and some candidates often encountered bandits or other dangers on the road because they were alone, and even lost their lives.

It would be nice if the imperial examination could be delegated to various prefectures and counties, but if the scientific examination was delegated to various prefectures and counties, it would also mean that the imperial court's supervision of scientific examinations would be weakened.

It was not a good time to delegate the science exams to the prefectures and counties, and he needed to consolidate the power in his hands until he further weakened the power in the hands of the great families in the capital.

With that authority in his own hands, he could consider delegating the imperial examination to the prefectures and counties, and in addition to that, he had to focus on developing the local economy.

Thinking like this, Chen Mu secretly shook his head.

Meng Qing was very interested in the establishment of a veterinary training government discussed by those people.

After seeing the villagers and being refuted by the scholar, he lowered his voice, still shrinking his head to discuss matters related to the veterinary training office, Meng Qing turned his head and glanced in the direction of Chen Mu.

When Chen Mu saw Meng Qing's appearance, he could see what Meng Qing was thinking at a glance.

He hooked his lips and smiled slightly, nodded quietly, and the group simply turned around and walked towards the tea shop that was open on the side of the road, preparing to sit down in the tea shop and listen to the thoughts of those people by the way.

Chen Mu's private visit was to observe the public opinion, even so, naturally he couldn't let go of this opportunity, sat down in the tea shop, and the few people who were discussing matters related to the decree turned their heads when they heard the voice, looked in the direction of Chen Mu, and then retracted their gaze,

They didn't care about these well-dressed people, and the young scholar also glanced up at Chen Mu and Meng Qing, and then withdrew his gaze.
