Chapter 401: Official Position
Later generations usually told it as a joke when they told about King Ning's rebellion, and King Ning also became a harlequin-like figure.
King Ning's rebellion has also become a classic behavior of self-determination and talent. Especially when he was unlucky, the rebellion happened to meet Wang Yangming.
So he became one of Wang Yangming's deeds of fame, how famous Uncle Wang is, how much face King Ning will lose.
After Yan Zheng obtained the right to inland waterway shipping, he felt that King Ning would not sit idly by, and was even ready to visit.
As a result, King Ning's reaction was faster than he imagined, and the methods he used were also very cautious.
Not only did he not come forward with his own people, but the middleman he was looking for was unwilling to have direct contact with Dongqin, but instead used Li Sifu, a "fake" person.
From this point of view, King Ning doesn't seem to be stupid, and he can see the situation clearly.
Yan Zheng originally had contempt, but after reading the content of the letter, he thought that those who had the courage and determination to rebel should not be underestimated.
In the letter, King Ning talked about one thing every word, that is, the inland waterway shipping of the Eastern Qin Dynasty.
He also said that although he was a vassal king and had no military and political powers, he would still abide by the treaty.
In the end, he said that he also has some industries in Jiangxi, and if he can cooperate, it will be the best of both worlds.
It's just that the imperial court is extremely strict with the vassal king, so he expects the Eastern Qin monarch to be able to negotiate one or two.
A lot of news was revealed throughout the article, which was regarded as a confession of the foundation, and there was a temptation of interests, and it was revealed that the vassal king and the court were not of the same heart and mind.
After reading it, Yan Zheng felt that he could cooperate moderately, and on the premise that there was no big interest, he would not rashly interfere in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
But if you make a little lip service with King Ning, you can get a lot of concessions, so the fool won't do it.
Moreover, since the acquisition of inland waterway shipping rights, the Yangtze River trade has been sluggish, and there are no cities along the Yangtze River to open wharves to do business.
This is because the Ming court issued a decree that the officials and people along the river were not allowed to have any contact with the Huang people.
Although it can't be stopped, in the past two years, businessmen along the Yangtze River can only smuggle secretly. Eastern Qin gathered the displaced people, and did not dare to make a big show.
Yan Zheng had long been staring at the displaced people in the Huguang and Nanzhili regions, and it was just right for King Ning, the agent, to come to the door.
He immediately replied to the letter, but he was not as secretive as King Ning. In the letter, he wrote several demands and commitments:
1. Dongqin wants to secretly open a shop in Nanchang to sell Dongqin goods.
Second, Dongqin wanted to obtain a piece of land to set up a factory along the river in Jiangxi.
3. It is hoped that Ningwang will provide convenience for the food supply and normal operation of the factory.
Fourth, Yan Zheng could ensure that King Ning could monopolize trade with Eastern Qin in Jiangxi.
Fifth, Eastern Qin will not intervene in the internal affairs of the Ming State now and in the future, as long as someone guarantees that the interests of Eastern Qin will not be damaged.
Sixth, Dongqin firearms and armor are unsalable, help us!
After writing these six articles, Yan Zheng signed and handed them over to Yumo.

The examination papers of the civil service examination were quickly approved, and Yan Zheng personally selected 50 people as the best grades in this examination, and notified the time of the release of the list in the Huaxia Daily.
Ten days later, there was a huge crowd of people from outside Meaux Middle School, and all the students who were taking the entrance examination, as well as their friends and family, gathered here.
Chen Junyou and Li Jian also mixed in the crowd, waiting for the announcement of the exam results.
The four of them all looked at each other, and Chen Junyou was even more nervous to the point that his forehead was sweating.
He looked around for a while and found that the female classmate with a pockmarked face was also in the crowd, she was not tall, and she was supporting an old man with long hair.
"Phew! Long hair, old stubborn! Chen Junyou snorted with disdain in his heart.
Most of the people who still refuse to shave their heads in Eastern Qin are Ming scholars, and they are already outliers.
And the old man was holding his beard, wearing the gown of the Ming Kingdom, and stood calmly in the crowd.
"It's coming!" Li Jian shouted.
Chen Junyou came back to his senses and hurriedly looked inside, and sure enough, a few cadres walked out with the list and Mihu.
As a line was drawn on the venue, several cadres pasted the list in their hands.
There is nothing special about it, just learn personal information, grades and rankings in black and white, and the words "to be admitted" are written on the back.
Even the top performers are not distinguished, but they are all ranked higher.
After the first post, many people's eyes were cast.
"Haha, I'...... I'm 25! A male student shouted with joy.
Chen Junyou and his three brothers searched around, but they didn't find their names on the list.
He couldn't help but be anxious, hurriedly looked at the second list, and after pasting it, he hurriedly glanced at it.
Or not!
"No. 11 on the first list, hahaha, my granddaughter is in high school! It's high school! My old Zhang family is in and out of the taxi! The old man laughed maniacally.
The pockmarked student was already in tears.
Seeing this, a female classmate in the crowd hooked a smile on the corner of her mouth and slowly turned her head away.
Chen Junyou was so anxious that his face flushed, and the female pockmark actually took 11!
"Don't worry!" Yang Ziwen said with relief: "There are still many lists!"
Wang Sen also said: "The ranking is not important, as long as you are admitted, you can show your strength!"
"Your name!" Li Jian suddenly screamed.
Chen Junyou was taken aback, and hurriedly cast his eyes, only to see that on the list that was being posted, he suddenly appeared.
He read the identity number again, the school, and finally put his mind at ease.
152nd, pending admission!
This ranking is not high, but he can be admitted to the exam, and he can become a cadre in the future!
Yang Ziwen laughed and said: "It's okay now, it's going to be Cadre Chen from now on!"
"Director Chen, maybe!" Wang Sen quipped.
Li Jian said sheepishly: "Such a happy event, how about Director Chen invite us to have a good meal?"
Chen Junyou held back his tears, looked at the three good brothers and said, "Go, go to my house!" I'll ask my little lady to cook a few dishes for you! ”
The three of them laughed, and they were all happy for Chen Junyou.
After looking at it for a while, they found out that 426 people took the exam, and a total of 426 people were admitted.
The last ranking was like a huge joke, which made the joy of everyone present discounted.
"It turns out that if you go to the exam, you can be hired!" Yang Ziwen looked at it in confusion.
Chen Junyou also felt that he was not so happy, daring to love this exam was like going through the motions, which was equivalent to only being ranked.
The old man stroked his beard and said, "The king is benevolent and righteous, I will try in the Ming Palace, and I will never eliminate a person."
"Phew, you pseudo-Ming lackey, what do you mean by 'my Da Ming'?"
"The old man made a mistake, what's the matter? The monarch is not guilty of his words, do you still want to engage in literary prison? ”
"Hehe, didn't your granddaughter just take the cadre exam? We are the protégés of the king, and the science and engineering departments of the university have already booked us, this civil servant, we still don't bother to take the exam! ”
"Hmph, what does the yellow-mouthed child know? When I was young, I knew the beauty of being an official! The old man smiled and said, and turned to leave with the help of his granddaughter.
A few indignant students looked at the old man's decoration with anger, they hated Da Ming, if it weren't for respecting the old and loving the young and talking about the law, they would have started to shave his head.
……
Chen Junyou ran home with his three good brothers, and he was in Luoxing Village, which was next to Sunset Village.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he could no longer bear it anymore and ran wildly towards his home.
His father is weaving hard hats out of red and white rattan at home, which is one of the side jobs of many villagers.
After he saw his son running home in a hurry, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked, "Have you been admitted?"
"I got in! Got in! ”
Bang - the red and white vine in his father's hand fell to the ground, and the old tears burst into tears.
"You'er...... There is a good interest, a big profit! ”
Chen Junyou didn't say a word, ran to his mother's tablet again, and kowtowed three times.
When the three good brothers saw it, they also walked over and bowed three times.
"Haha, you may think it's strange, why do I want to take the civil service exam, actually! This is my mother, who always called me Guan'er and Guan'er when I was a child, but unfortunately she didn't see the day I became an official! Chen Junyou burst into tears, and his smile was extremely bitter.
Yang Ziwen, Wang Sen and Li Jian were all silent, when they were in middle school, the school attached great importance to engineering, and those who were good at mathematics, physics and chemistry were all interviewed by the school, saying that they should go to university and be students.
This makes many people think that only those who study well can go to science and engineering and go to university.
As for the rest of the options, they will only be chosen if they can't go to college.
Looking at Chen Junyou now, the three of them have mixed feelings in their hearts.
