Chapter 114: The Legacy of Confucius, Promoting New Learning

However, after understanding, Hua Shou knew that Zhu Han was enthusiastic about preaching and solving doubts, especially in terms of medical skills, and he was not stingy with his talents.

"Haha, in fact, in the final analysis, this magic medicine can only be developed by using Confucius's posthumous writings!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

Kong Yuanlang and Hua Shou were stunned when they heard this.

They never imagined that they would be able to pull Confucius on him.

Kong Yuenlang, a genuine descendant of Confucius, was even more confused, he didn't know what kind of medical skills his ancestors had, let alone the powerful medical skills that could treat tuberculosis.

"Guogong, what do you say?" Kong Yuanlang hurriedly said.

"I can't hide it, these magic medicines are all made by accident when I obtained a set of thirty-six volumes of Confucius's posthumous texts before, learned some fur from them!" Zhu Han said with a serious face.

"Thirty-six volumes of Confucius's posthumous chapters?"

Kong Yuanlang was even more confused, he didn't know any of these things of his ancestors.

"I've only heard of Confucius's poems, books, rituals, and discourses, etc., but I've never heard of any thirty-six volumes?" Hua Shou also frowned and wondered.

"So it's an accident! Our Red Turban Army marched in Huaixi before to open the way, accidentally found a hidden cave, in which obtained a set of ancient testaments, after I carefully studied, found that it is the 36 volumes of Confucius's true biography, I don't know why, was hidden in the cave for 2,000 years, it is really a pity! Zhu Han said very seriously.

This set of rhetoric, if future generations hear it, they will definitely scold the vulgar martial arts fantasy routines.

But for the ancients, it was unheard of.

Kong Yuenlong is excited, 'my ancestor is so bullish'.

"Confucius actually understands medical skills?" Slippery asked with a confused expression.

Zhu Han smiled and said: "The road is true, the different paths are the same, the sage is enough to explain the pathology, and it can naturally cure the disease." ”

Subsequently, Zhu Han explained to Huashou what a virus is, what a bacterium is, and what is an infection.

After these words, he was stunned, and he never thought that he could treat the disease like this.

"Dare to ask Guogong, what else is recorded in these thirty-six testaments?" Kong Yuenlong exclaimed.

"In fact, there were originally more than 36 articles of Confucius's posthumous articles, but unfortunately after leaving the cave, they were quickly weathered into powder, and I only remembered 36 articles." Zhu Han sighed.

"What a pity!"

"It's a pity that the Book of Sages can educate all people!"

Kong Yuanlang and Hua Shou both sighed.

"However, I still recorded these thirty-six articles by virtue of my memory, and as for the other incompleteness, I can only rely on Mr. Kong's family history to make up for it step by step!" Zhu Han said.

Kong Yuanlang nodded solemnly, "Kong is duty-bound!" ”

"Guogong, what are the thirty-six articles recorded?" Slippery Shou asked.

Zhu Han cleared his throat, and then said: "Thirty-six articles, which are mathematics, erudition, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, navigation, metallurgy, medicine, medicine, .........."

Zhu Han reported the thirty-six majors in one go, these are basically books of various disciplines that are rewarded by the system, and after Zhu Han personally deleted, they are very in line with the introductory mastery of this era.

Kong Yuanlang and Hua Shou were all dumbfounded after listening to these so-called 'Thirty-six Testaments of Confucius'.

Almost ninety percent, I can't understand it at all.

"This, these are really the teachings of Confucius?" Hua Shou couldn't help but ask.

Although he studied medicine, he was a scholarly family, and he had memorized the four books and five classics since he was a child, but he never thought that Sage Kong would have so many messy doctrines.

"Really, of course it's true!" Zhu Han said with a serious face.

"I'm shallow in my studies, and most of them have never heard of it, can you please show me those books?" Kong Yuenlong said.

Zhu Han waved his hand, "No problem, no problem at all!" ”

Then, a few attendants walked out with thick stacks of books that had already been prepared.

Kong Yuenlong and Hua Shou were excited, and carefully opened these books.

Who knows...... After only reading two pages, the faces of the two people completely collapsed.

Where the hell did this Confucius come from!

Because it's all written on high-quality rice paper, and there are also colorful illustrations!

In the era of Master Confucius, where did the paper come from? Where do the color illustrations come from?

"My lord, this ...... This picture is really, it is unlikely that it was handed down by Confucius! "Kong Yuenlong really doesn't know how to organize language, this is a clear fake.

"Oh, didn't I tell you just now, the real Confucian Saint's testament has been destroyed, and these are all re-ordered by me to transcribe and print them according to my memory." Zhu Han said.

Kong Yuenlong and Hua Shou looked at each other, this reason is in the past, anyway, the original work is gone, and the transcription version is naturally anything.

"There are so many books, I'm afraid there are millions of words, and adults have all written them from memory?" Huashou couldn't help but ask.

When Zhu Han heard this, he couldn't help but scold in his heart: As long as you talk a lot, Lao Tzu has worked so hard to fake, and he doesn't feel distressed, so he knows how to question it!

"Zhu's memory has always been very good, it's nothing." Zhu Han smiled very pretendedly.

"I don't know what adults need me to do?" Kong Yuenlong asked.

"It's very simple, these Confucian saints' posthumous articles are all true knowledge that can benefit all generations, and I want to let all the people in the world learn the true Confucian knowledge, instead of the rigid moral articles of the past!" Zhu Han said.

That's right!

Zhu Han's new imperial examination is precisely to use the name of Confucius to adopt his own new style of learning.

"Huh? Guogong really has great ambitions! Kong Yuanlang said with some embarrassment.

Kong Yuanlang is not a fool, he has already guessed Zhu Han's intention to invite him out of the mountain, it is nothing more than to use his name as a descendant of Confucius to give him this so-called 'Thirty-six Testaments of Confucius' as a drummer.

He had the heart to refuse, but he was a little afraid of the retaliation of the Red Turbans.

Moreover, he just read some of the 'Thirty-six Testaments', and there are also some epiphany in it.

"These are the true knowledge of Confucius Sage, but I don't know what is willing to be hidden for thousands of years, and now I see the light of day, I must let the world learn the true Confucius Sage, in order not to let ordinary people doubt the origin of these knowledge, I want Mr. Kong to cooperate!" Zhu Han said.

"Cooperation? How to cooperate, my lord! Kong Yuanlang was stunned.

"These Confucian relics, in the future, you will find them from the family heirloom collection, and the genuine descendants of Confucius will not doubt them when they say this." Zhu Han said.

Kong Yuanlang's face suddenly had a black line, but he didn't dare to have other opinions in his heart, so he could only agree.

Zhu Han was overjoyed when he saw this, and gave Kong Yuanlang instructions on how to 'fake' step by step.

After all, although we Chinese scholars have villains, traitors, and villains, there are few fools, and they can't be fooled by the clumsy tricks of the West.

It's like finding an ancient book in a cave, but not many people believe it when you think about it.

As for the poor blind man who herds sheep and can write a million-word epic on expensive parchment, it is even more ridiculous that no one will believe it.

And if it is treasured by the family of the descendants of Sage Confucius, nine out of ten people will believe it.

The family that has been inherited for thousands of years has some strange things, which is completely reasonable.

At this time, Zhu Han saw Hua Shou next to him again, holding a medical anatomy book and reading it with fascination, and immediately thought that this was a ready-made medical master, and he could completely rely on the ancient book.

"Mr. Slip, if you like these books, you can take them back and read them carefully!" Zhu Han said.

Hua Shou's eyes widened suddenly, and he held the medical book in his arms like a treasure, "What Guogong said is true?" ”

"Of course it's true, but there is one thing that my husband needs to be able to promise me." Zhu Han said.

Hua Shou's breath became short, "Guogong, please speak, Hua Shou must agree to everything!" ”

After just reading a few pages, Hua Shou was already deeply attracted by the content of the medical book, such as what anatomical diagrams, internal organ diagrams, bone diagrams and other medical knowledge introduced by later generations were enough to make Hua Shou, the first divine doctor in the south of the Yangtze River, admire the five bodies.

Just a few pages can already benefit many people.

Hua Shou had already made up his mind, as long as he could let him read these books, he would agree to any conditions for Zhu Han.

"Haha, in fact, for Mr., it's also a trivial matter, these books are all a little obscure, as for the use of sentences, it is even more inconsistent with the moment, please go back and read it carefully, and then adapt it, so that more doctors in Langzhong can understand." Zhu Han said.

"Huh? Is Guogong planning to teach these medical skills to all healers? "Slippery Shou was surprised, this is a secret that is not passed on!

"That's right, I not only want to teach all doctors and doctors, but also plan to set up a medical imperial examination in the future, anyone who wants to practice medicine, must pass this medical imperial examination, get the fame of the imperial court, and then can practice medicine!" Zhu Han said.

Since the Song Dynasty a group of corrupt Confucians vigorously advocated the bullshit theory that 'if you are not a good looker, you are a good doctor', a large number of half-baked quacks began to bring disaster to the world.

Zhu Han naturally wanted to eradicate these situations with this.

When Hua Shou heard this, he was immediately moved to tears.

He stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhu Han.

"The prince of the country has the common people in his heart, please accept the slippery life!"

"Mr. Slippery Shou, please get up!"

Zhu Han was happy in his heart, and easily solved the problem of the origin of 'Xinxue'.

A few days later.

In Jinling City, there was a burst of news that made all the readers excited and shocked.

Whether it is officials and soldiers, or rich businessmen and ordinary people, they are all discussing.

"Hey, hey, you've heard, the descendants of Confucius in Quzhou have discovered the ancient relics!"

"That's right...... Lord Kong Yuanlang personally escorted these Confucian relics to Jinling and dedicated them to the marshal! ”

"Haiyan River is clear, the saint is moralized! This is auspicious from the sky, which shows that the Red Turban Army has won the hearts of the people and the destiny of heaven! ”

"Destiny? What does that have to do with our little people? ”

"Hehe, you don't know this, my neighbor's second uncle's nephew said that soon after the Jiangnan Provincial Yamen will open a scientific examination in Jinling, I heard that all of them are using the last words of this Confucian sage, called "Confucianism and Science"! ”

"Science? I've only heard of science, but I've never heard of science! ”

"Anyway, it's different, don't want to show your talent or learn from the state, and do the real meritocracy!"

Next, as Zhu Han arranged people to spread it intentionally.

The 'new learning' of the Confucian sage family in Quzhou instantly gained the attention of a large number of people in Jiangnan.

I have to say that Kong Yuenlong's writing level is indeed high enough, and many books that he has polished have not only not changed the original meaning, but also have a bit of an ancient style, which is very bluffing.

"Mr. Kong is really a great talent, this new science will be used as a imperial examination in Jinling in two months!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

According to the plan of Zhu Han and his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang, several different disciplines were set up for the imperial examination in Jinling, which were used as an alternate between the old and new Confucianism.

"This set of new books not only has a lot of text, but also has a lot of color illustrations, which I am afraid is not affordable for ordinary students." Kong Yuanlang said with some concern.

He was responsible for the compilation of mathematics, physics and chemistry, and naturally all kinds of graphics and drawings were indispensable.

"Haha, that's a good question!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Guogong has the ambition to let everyone in the world participate in the imperial examination, and he is no different from the saint's teaching, and Kong is also eagerly looking forward to it!" Kong Yuenlong said.

Unlike the group of officials in the Northern Confucius, the descendants of the Confucian saints in the Southern Confucius still concentrate on teaching, educating people, and learning.

"Actually, I have already thought about this problem, all those who participate in the imperial examination, no matter who they are, are all given a set of new study books, and the three categories can be chosen by themselves, all of which only cost thirty yuan!" Zhu Han said.

"Thirty cents?" Kong Yuanlang was taken aback.

Thirty dollars, let alone buying a set of new books and beautifully illustrated books, even if you buy the thinnest scripture book, it is not enough.

It's not about selling books at all, it's just about giving away books.

"That's right, it's thirty texts, I don't want to sell books to make money, I just want to earn the hearts of readers!"

Zhu Han smiled slightly.

After Zhu Han's operation.

Coupled with the help of Kong Yuanlang and others, the new Confucian school immediately set off a trend in the Jiangnan literary circle.

Many scholars were reluctant to follow the trend of new studies, but according to the notice of the Jiangnan Yamen, the number of meritorious students admitted to the traditional imperial examination was really limited, far less than the number of people admitted to the new discipline.

Moreover, the traditional imperial examination and the new discipline examination can go hand in hand, giving everyone two chances to take the imperial examination.

If you don't learn it, you can't learn it!

Learning the new Confucian school is equivalent to one more chance of admission to the imperial examination.

Zhu Han's strategy made Kong Yuenlong, who was originally worried that the new learning would not be promoted, was dumbfounded.

"What kind of sage doctrine, it seems that it is just a stepping stone for scholars in the world to gain fame!" Kong Yuenlong couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

Zhu Han has the confidence to send books to readers at cost price, not because of the amount of money, but because he already has this extremely low-cost book technology.

Nowadays, the printing and papermaking in addition to the state has completely adopted the new technology, which can not only be made faster, but also greatly reduced in cost and price.

All of this is due to Zhu Han's system sign-in to obtain new lead movable type and new ink printing.

Jinling Jiangnan Province Yamen.

Liu Bowen, Shi Nai'an, and Hu Weiyong are reporting to Zhu Han on their respective administrative progress.

"My lord, now that the names of the provincial governments in the south of the Yangtze River have basically ended, almost 200,000 scholars have participated in this imperial examination, which can be described as an unprecedented large number!" Liu Bowen said with a smile.

Although the literary style in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River is strong.

But no dynasty has ever been able to gather so many literati to participate in the imperial examinations.

Before participating in the imperial examination, not only did you need to have fame such as talent and fuxue.

And for most families, it is also a huge expense burden.

Coming to Beijing from all over the country to take the exam, but it takes a lot of manpower and material resources, and ordinary families simply can't afford to leave with a strong laborer.

Nowadays, most of the participants in the imperial examination are for the new school, and basically they don't have to worry about them traveling long distances, because the state capitals in various places can draw up their own merits.

Like the original imperial examination, it is also awarded the meritorious names of Xiucai, Juren, Tongjinshi and Jinshi respectively.

The low-level talents admitted by the state school can be awarded the meritorious name of Xiucai, and the slightly better ones can be awarded the meritorious name.

As for the higher Tongjinshi and Jinshi, it is necessary for people from various state capitals to come to Jinling to take the examination, and select the particularly outstanding ones to be awarded to Tongjinshi and Jinshi.

The new imperial examination that Zhu Han came up with is far more influential than the previous 'old imperial examination'.

First of all, the number of participants in the new imperial examination has greatly surged, and the number of admitted people has also greatly increased, the original old imperial examination is only a few hundred people admitted each time, and this time the number of admissions can be as many as tens of thousands, as long as you are not illiterate, and there is a little new level, you can basically get a show.

The talent of Jiangnan Province is already an official who can be open-minded!

For scholars or ordinary people, it doesn't matter what kind of fame you have, as long as you can be an official.

"My lord, in addition to the state publication and printing bureau report, it is said that there are too many orders, and it is not enough to rush work day and night, and I want to transfer five hundred craftsmen from Jinling to remove the state!" Hu Weiyong said.

"Too many orders? Isn't it almost the same time that the new books have been sent out now, where are so many orders? Zhu Han wondered.

Since the new printing technology came out, the books printed by the Red Turban Army in addition to the state immediately sprung up, not only the book paper is white and crisp, but also the printed handwriting is clearer, and even the only three-color printing in this era is adopted!

This is especially true through the large-scale distribution of new books.

Booksellers everywhere saw the strength of the State Printing and Printing Bureau, and they came to the door with silver to beg to print books for themselves.

"This order, but it has just increased recently, the printing of new books costs a lot, and the people of the Printing Bureau also want to make more money, so they have received a lot of orders from all over the world, the largest of which is the Emperor and Song Dynasty almanacs sent by Liu Futong, the prime minister of Bianliang, followed by the orders of Jiangnan booksellers." Hu Weiyong said it a little hesitantly.

Emperor Song Almanac, Zhu Han naturally knew that whether it was the imperial court or ordinary people, the calendar that could be used to the twenty-four solar terms was on it, and it was a necessary thing for every household, especially except for the State Publication and Printing Bureau, which could produce it in large quantities at low cost, and immediately asked Liu Futong to take out 50,000 taels of silver to print the 'Emperor Song Almanac', in order to give a copy to every household under his rule.

Zhu Han had already read the revised version of the 'Imperial Song Almanac', which in addition to the calendar, there were many smooth-mouthed limericks promoting the White Lotus Sect of the Red Turban Army, which could be regarded as a propaganda weapon that Liu Futong wanted.

However, when Hu Weiyong mentioned the orders of Jiangnan booksellers, Zhu Han did not expect that there would be such a large number.

"Jiangnan booksellers? What books did they publish on a large scale? Zhu Han asked with concern.

Since ancient times, the imperial courts of all dynasties have strict requirements for publishing books, although Zhu Han's printing bureau is a tool to make money, but it cannot be taken lightly in this regard, in case someone else publishes some books that slander him, it will be more than worth the loss.

Hu Weiyong is good at guessing, so he naturally sees Zhu Han's thoughts.

"My lord, those Jiangnan booksellers are not new visitors, they are all acquaintances in Suzhou and Jinling, and the books printed are basically a booklet with color page illustrations." Hu Weiyong said.

"Oh? A booklet with coloring page illustrations? Zhu Han was suddenly a little curious.

Printed books with color illustrations, but in addition to the exclusive cheats of the State Printing and Printing Bureau, it is basically a quote of thirty percent more than ordinary books, and the Jiangnan booksellers, who have always been careful about budgets, actually printed so many color illustrated books, which immediately made Zhu Han curious.

Who knows, Zhu Han's words have just finished speaking.

He saw that Liu Bowen, Shi Nai'an and Hu Weiyong were all blushing, and there was an awkward atmosphere.

"What's wrong with all of you?" Zhu Han asked.

The three of them were at a loss, but they couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Hu Weiyong, do you have samples of these printed books in the house?" Zhu Han immediately said unhappily.

According to the rules set by Zhu Han, all books except the Prefecture Printing and Printing Bureau must first be published in sample copies and submitted and sealed in Dingyuan County, where Zhu Yuanzhang is located, Jinling, where Zhu Han is located, and the local library in Zhuzhou, so that they can be consulted and reviewed at any time.

Of course, there were too many books produced by the State Printing Bureau, and Zhu Han basically didn't have the time to check them.

"Yes, yes! The next official is going to get it! Hu Weiyong hurriedly said.

After a while, Hu Weiyong trotted back with a few books.

Zhu Han took these books and found that all of them were made of the latest fine white paper in addition to the state, which belonged to a high-grade paper product bleached by a new technology.

"These Jiangnan booksellers seem to have made a lot of money!" Zhu Han couldn't help but say when he saw this paper.

Then, when he looked at the title of the book on the cover, he immediately understood why Liu, Shi, and Hu looked embarrassed just now.

Boy......

These books are all names of the three roads such as "The Dance of the Tartar Lord and the Demon of the Heavens", "The Legend of the Enchanting Charm of Qi's Goryeo", and "The History of the Tartars".

Zhu Han looked at the content again, except for a small amount of story text, all of them were illustrations that described the details, and they were basically the kind with very few clothes, and every few of them, there would be a beautiful illustration in color, which depicted the affairs of men and women in it very expressively.

"Hey, I see!" Zhu Han suddenly laughed.

"My lord, the lower officials will issue an official document tomorrow to ask the State Publication and Printing Bureau to stop these books!" Hu Weiyong lowered his head and said cautiously.

Zhu Han's eyes widened, and he was dissatisfied with Hu Weiyong: "Nonsense, who told you to stop!" ”

"Huh? What does the adult mean that it can continue to be printed? ”

Hu Weiyong confirmed again and asked, the Printing Bureau is under the co-management of Hu Weiyong, and he cannot escape the blame for the problem.

"Lao Hu, let me ask you, does the Printing Bureau make these books and make money?" Zhu Han asked.

"Earn! And it is very profitable, the cost of our paper and ink products is very cheap, the first two batches of books are printed, and they have earned more than 50,000 taels of silver! Hu Weiyong hurriedly said.

50,000 taels of silver is basically enough to cover the taxes of a moderately wealthy county for an entire year.

"If you're making money, why stop? Not only must we not stop, but we must also increase the printing on a large scale! ”

When Zhu Han saw these vulgar little imperial uncles, he could already think of the appearance of the common people eagerly absorbing cultural knowledge from these books, and he could also think of how the image of Mengyuan's imperial power completely collapsed.

"Hu Weiyong, you will give an order tomorrow, and then transfer 500 craftsmen to the prefecture, and then transfer half of the oil reserves in Jinling to them, and prepare more ink, I will be of great use in the future!" Zhu Han said.

Propaganda position, that is the key point that you do not occupy, but the enemy will occupy!

"Yes, my lord!" Hu Weiyong hurriedly responded.

"Also, you send someone to find me the painter of these books, he is skilled in fine brush painting, and it is too condescending to work for those black-hearted booksellers!" Zhu Han said.

The status of painters in ancient times was not very high, especially this kind of painters who specialized in painting realistic brushes, basically belonged to the status of semi-craftsmen, and basically did not match any artists and cultural people.

Zhu Han was inspired by these Jiangnan booksellers, and immediately had his own plans.

Don't look at the corrupt rule of the Mengyuan court, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant, but for many gentry and powerful people, they are very supportive of Mengyuan's rule.

Because for them, no Huayi debate or barbaric civilization is as affordable as their own family's entrenchment in the township.

The Mengyuan court's weak control over the grassroots level gave these gentry and powerful people great autonomy and allowed them to deceive the people and act recklessly.

Zhu Han just wanted to use acrobatics, scripts and picture albums to completely smash the nonsense of 'Da Yuan Kuanhe' woven by those gentry and heroes.

When the people think of Dayuan, they immediately think of the mediocre and lascivious monarchs, queens and concubines of the Tartars, the demon monks of the Western Regions, the barbarians of the grasslands, and the beautiful women of Goryeo......

What a great yuan is lenient, to hell with it!

Under Hu Weiyong's hard work, those skilled painters quickly found Zhu Han.

For these painters who were trembling and thinking that a catastrophe was coming, Zhu Han did not have any extra nonsense, and directly announced that several of them would be admitted to the shogunate of Jiangnan Province and serve as painters of the Jinling Publication and Printing Bureau.

Although the name is still a painter.

But it does not belong to a simple craftsman, but has another reputation as a 'fellow showman'.

The 'Tong Xiucai' thing was also just made by Zhu Han, and the senior craftsmen and officials under his command were awarded the merit of 'Tong Xiucai', marking that they could get rid of their cheap status.

All of a sudden, several painters were moved to kowtow, eager to smash the floor tiles.

"How much did you get paid a month?" Zhu Han asked a painter.

"Qi Guogong, the villain has eight dollars a month!" The old painter said.

"Eight cents? So little? Zhu Han couldn't help but secretly curse those Jiangnan booksellers, whose hearts were really black enough.

This old painter's "The Enchanting Biography of Qi's Goryeo" is a painting that is expressive and emotional, especially those few pages of Seiko color pages, which can be called the best, making people full of reverie for the current Empress Dowager Qi.

Even Lan Yu and Chen Baodao, who don't like to read.

It was also discovered by Zhu Han that he was holding "The Legend of Qi's Yan" every day and absorbing cultural knowledge hard, and even shouted the slogan 'Break into the capital and capture Qi's alive' when he was drunk.

"In this way, your wages will be paid according to the Jiangnan Province from the nine grades of the officer, two taels of silver a month, and there will be a festival reward!" Zhu Han said with a wave of his hand.

The treatment of officials in the shogunate of Jiangnan Province was already a complete system, and basically high-level craftsmen could be sent by the lowest-ranking officials.

A few painters had just gotten up, and when they heard the good news, they knelt on the ground again and thanked them excitedly.

"Great grace to the prince!"

"The villain is broken to pieces, and he repays the great kindness!"

"The Duke of the Kingdom is high and the lord is Wandai, and the longevity is boundless!"

Zhu Han had already seen this, and then let them get up.

"To promote you to make a fortune, naturally there are higher requirements, I have also seen your paintings, which are very good, but there are also a lot of shortcomings, especially in the realistic category, there are always some unsatisfactory places."

As Zhu Han spoke, he took out a book from the table and handed it to the old painter.

"This is a painting cheats that Ben Shuai got by chance before, you take it back, ponder carefully, eat the technology inside, ten days later, I will test you again, if I am satisfied, then you will immediately take office, if there is no growth, then where do you have to go back!"

When the old painter and others heard this, they immediately became nervous again.

There's no way not to be nervous.

This is not only a question of skyrocketing wages, but also a question of the future of yourself and your children and grandchildren.

Originally, he was just a low-status painter, but now he has the opportunity to become an official of the shogunate in Jiangnan Province.

Although it is the lowest official position under the nine grades, it is also a serious official position!

And the inspector of a county can only walk sideways in the county from the ninth grade.

Several painters worked one after another, and took the painting cheats given by Zhu Han to take a closer look.

There are a few big words written on the thick book -

"Sketch Beginner Guide"

。

。

。

After sending away a few painters, Zhu Han just wanted to go out to inspect it, and recently the Wu Wangfu in Jinling City was already preparing to start planning, so Zhu Han naturally needed to keep an eye on it.

After all, Jinling is a big city with the spirit of the emperor, and the Wu Wangfu is not only the Wu Wangfu of the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang, but also the palace in the future, so Zhu Han naturally needs to plan the layout in advance.

Before he had changed his clothes, Chen Baodao reported outside the door.

"My lord, Mr. Liu asks to see you."

"Please come in." Zhu Han said.

After a while, Liu Bowen just walked in.

He brought Zhu Han a news he didn't expect.

"My lord, someone from Qufu in the north has come to Jinling and wants to ask to see your lordship." Liu Bowen said.

"Qufu? Could it be the North Kong? Zhu Han said.

Shandong Qufu, apart from the Kong family, Zhu Han can't think of anything else.

"That's right, it's the Kong family, it's Kong Xixue, the eldest son of Yan Shenggong, who came in person." Liu Bowen said.

"Qufu is far away from our Jinling, even if Yan Shenggong wants to be the grass on the wall, is this a little too fast?" Zhu Han joked.

Yan Shenggong's wall grass style has been very skillful since Jinmeng.

"Hehe, my lord said that he laughed, Jinling is far away from Qufu, but Xuzhou is close to Qufu." Liu Bowen said with a smile.

Zhu Han nodded, he almost went to this matter.

Since the Red Turban Army captured Bianliang, Mao Gui and others led the army to the east to recover Xuzhou and other places that had been lost before, and it was only a few hundred miles away from Qufu in Jining Prefecture.

The Great Yuan Dynasty was about to be powerless to resist, and it was naturally reasonable for the Yan Sheng Gong to send someone to ask for a meeting.

"My lord, do you want to see you?" Liu Bowen asked.

Zhu Han smiled slightly, "How did he get here?" ”

"Coming quietly, the Kong family dressed up as merchants, bringing a lot of northern goods and silver." Liu Bowen said.

Nowadays, Jinling's commercial taxes are light, and there are no officials and soldiers who are indiscriminately exploiting, attracting businessmen of all sizes in many places to come to Jinling to sell and buy.

"Hehe, this Yan Shenggong is really calculating, not only to be a wall grass, but also to do business!" Zhu Han sneered.

Subsequently, he said to Liu Bowen: "Tell that Kong Xixue, they are the Tartar Seal of Yan Shenggong, it doesn't work here in Jinling, if they are doing business, then they are naturally okay, if they want to ask to see me, they are the status of Tartar officials, and they are not qualified enough, unless they can raise Jining Mansion to surrender!" ”

"What do you mean, do you really not see him?" Liu Bowen said.

"Of course it's true, this Yan Shenggong is really a scourge, I heard that he gave advice to Meng Yuan, and wanted to mobilize Liaoyang Jurchen savages and other troops into the Central Plains, and he was very vicious, and if he didn't settle his old accounts in the future, it would already be me magnanimous, and I wanted to be opportunistic, and Lao Wang Ba wanted to be beautiful!" Zhu Han scolded.

Liaoyang Province is basically the territory of the Jurchen and other strong fishing and hunting peoples, once they are armed, they are definitely a strong force, the northern Red Turban Army attaches great importance to this enemy situation, so they hurriedly began to seize territory, just to get more capital before the arrival of these barbarians.

And in order to curb Meng Yuan's troop transfer strategy, Zhu Han has also had to draw forces recently.

More than 13,000 Goryeo Eight Banners were retrained and armed, and prepared for the Goryeo Eight Banners to counterattack Goryeo.

stabbed Liaoyang in the back, so that the Jurchen barbarians in Liaoyang Province did not dare to leave south.

"This son of the Holy Prince, he must leave Jinling within three days, otherwise I will send someone to beat them out!"

"Oh, by the way, tell them again, here in Jinling, we only recognize the orthodox descendants of the Confucian saints in Quzhou, and we don't recognize any Northern Confucius of unknown origin!"

Zhu Han couldn't help but step on Meng Yuanyan's holy father's face, and he also wanted to punish his heart!

In fact, in the Mengyuan Dynasty, there were already rumors that the heirs of the previous generation of Yan Sheng Gong had made a big mess abroad, and later the Mongols selected an outsider to pretend to inherit Yan Sheng Gong.

Zhu Han has already put Confucianism on his own 'new learning' skin, so naturally he doesn't need any refuge from the Holy Duke of Northern Confucius.

Two days later, Kong Xixue, who was still full of confidence, was driven out of Jinling City by the officials of Jinling Mansion with a disgusted face.

With such a gap, Kong Xixue was lost in his soul, and he didn't understand after two or three days of sailing, where did Zhu Han, the leader of the Red Turban Thieves, have the confidence to refuse the surrender of his saint's descendants?

"Humph! The thief is really a thief, I don't know how to honor the sage, sooner or later I will die without a place to bury! ”

Kong Xixue has already made up his mind in his heart, and he must give the two Zhu Han brothers a good look in the future!

Half a month later.

The autumn examination of Jiangnan Province was vigorously launched.

The most striking thing is naturally the new discipline in Jiangnan Province.

As a member of the Southern Confucian family, Kong Yuanlang of Quzhou, as the general manager of Jiangnan Province, personally presided over the opening of the imperial examination.

Unlike the old imperial examination, which lasted seven or eight days, the new imperial examination lasted only two days.

After some examinations, the state capitals quickly assessed the talents and fame of people in various places.

And all the lifters were immediately sent to Jinling to prepare for the next Jinshi exam.

As the most important Jinshi exam, Kong Yuanlang, the chief student in Jiangnan, doesn't dare to be the examiner anymore.

According to the past practice, the person who presided over the Jinshi Branch was no one other than the emperor of the imperial court.

The grass platform team of the Red Turban Army can do nonsense, but Kong Yuanlang doesn't dare to follow it.

In the future, if he is questioned by the Great Song Emperor Han Lin'er or Liu Futong, it will not be a joke.

Jinling City, in the Yamen of Jiangnan Province.

Zhu Yuanzhang was dressed in a purple royal robe.

The two attendants were tidying up the corners of their clothes, with a smile on their faces, and said to Zhu Han.

"Seventy-five, you said that we were born with mud legs, and we want to be the examiner for those scholars, isn't it a little inappropriate?"

Zhu Han pouted and said: "Brother, what's wrong with this, we have already said that whoever is admitted to the Jinshi will have the future of becoming an official, since they are here to be an official, naturally whoever gives them an official will be the chief examiner." ”

"As for what clay legs come from, huh! Don't these scholars all advertise that they are from a family of cultivators and scholars, ploughing the fields and reading, they are also mud legs, and they are the same as us! ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately burst out laughing.

After Kong Yuanlang resigned as the chief examiner, he also whispered to Zhu Han that it was only appropriate to let Zhu Yuanzhang be the chief examiner.

The person who enters the Shike is the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven!

In the entire Jiangnan, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, who has this qualification?

He started the imperial examination in Jiangnan first, and he was already bypassing the Great Song Dynasty court and emperor of Bianliang, so he had to use the identity of the elder brother as the king of Wu.

Jinling's Jinshi University Examination is actually not that difficult, it is nothing more than a comprehensive Confucian 'new learning' assessment.

All the people in these state capitals can basically achieve a good ranking if they can master the newly learned mathematics, physics and chemistry, after all, there are no tutoring institutions and teachers in this era, and whether they learn well or not depends on their personal skills.

After three days of big exams.

After all the grading papers are completed, the Jinshike of Jiangnan Province is finally about to be announced.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, personally ordered a scholar from Wucheng, Zhejiang Province to be the first place in the new science and technology of Jiangnan Province, that is, the champion of Jiangnan.

This scholar from Wucheng, Zhejiang Province is called Tao Guangyi, but he is only in his twenties, but he is extremely proficient in the new Confucian learning, and it is simply no difficulty for Zhu Han to personally write the exam questions.

Even some difficult questions can be answered.

"Tao Guangyi?"

Zhu Han looked at the first place of the Jinshi ordered by his brother, and couldn't help but feel inexplicably familiar.

Looking at this Tao Guangyi's origin and resume again, I instantly remembered his other name.

"God, this is really fate!"

"This Tao Guangyi, isn't it the famous ten thousand households in history!"
