"Teach Yan Si Qi Ping to be strategic?"

"In these years, a martial artist who has no fame can also become a strategy, and it is really a big joke in the world......"

"What if you don't have fame? Do you see how many of my officials have passed the formal imperial examination? ”

"I heard that there are still people who plan to make the Four Books and Five Classics and the Way of the Sages a subject in the future, and regard the strange and skillful skills as the main subject......

"If you don't learn the way of the saints, I'm afraid that in the future, the people of my court won't even know etiquette, righteousness and shame."

When Zhu Youxiao's first dispatch was approved by Zhu Youxiao, the officials in the Imperial City Ministry sneered at Zhu Youxiao's decree that Zhu Youxiao had just sent down.

They were not ridiculing Yan Siqi, but the emperor, the king of Qi, and a series of officials from the Yanshan faction and the Enke faction who took Enke's "shortcut" as officials.

It is true that Yanshan officials are already a force to be reckoned with, and there are many traditional officials in Enke who have been gone for a few years.

This year, because there are two Enke, and the Yanshan students have completed the exam in the first half of the year, not long ago, for the Enke in the second half of the year, all the students and officials who have switched from tradition to Yanshan textbooks.

More than 22,000 students were hired one after another, of whom nearly 1,000 were hired as officials, and the rest were all officials.

Generally speaking, they don't look down on officials, but when they come to the capital, they all know the news of "Official Dinglu", and the scribe is about to become an official of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, almost no one chose to give up, and all of them joined the scribe system of the Ming Dynasty and became the officials of the next nine products in the future.

Although they are not from the Yanshan system, their abilities cannot be said to be worse than those of the Yanshan officials.

It can even be said that they are the first officials who really integrated the Yanshan system and the traditional system.

Since it has only been three days since the release of the list, the arrangements for more than 20,000 of them have not yet been implemented.

As things stand, many speculate that they might be sent to the Lesser Western Inspectorate or to Yingzhou Province.

After all, everyone knows that there are millions of natives in the Little Western Ocean, and it is rumored that the first batch of more than 30,000 people has arrived.

Moreover, the follow-up Xiao Xiyang is obviously the primary place of the Ming Dynasty's foreign wars, and although the feudal domains can govern the vassal states after they become vassals, they still need to be cautious in their words and deeds, because they still have the supervision of Xiao Xiyang above their heads.

Xiaoxiyang is a place with a lot of oil and water, and it is easy to establish merit, which is already the common knowledge of hundreds of officials.

Compared with the smaller West, Yingzhou, which the emperor has just decreed, is obviously not a good place to go.

Although Yingzhou was prolific in gold and silver, everyone knew that in general, where the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was laid down, everything was an official camp and belonged to the imperial court.

In this way, going to Yingzhou is equivalent to going to the elderly, which is more suitable for those who have come to the end of their careers.

Of course, this is because the officials don't know that Zhu Youzhen wants to deal with the North America and South Asia Mlikah, if they knew, I am afraid that many people would go to Yingzhou with their heads broken.

Unlike these old fritters in officialdom, many traditional students who have just entered officialdom have a relatively simple idea, that is, no matter where they go, they will naturally be able to settle down if they get a sum of money in their hands anyway.

It is normal for officials to ridicule this group of officials, after all, compared to this group of more than 20,000 officials, their imperial examination is too difficult.

In their opinion, most of the people admitted by Enke are people who do nothing.

However, even among the people who are inactive, they can find a few who can be used, and this time Enko happens to have some ambitious people......

"This environment is too good, isn't it?!"

In the cold wind and snow, when a voice sounded in the official square in Beijing's Dongcheng, more than 20,000 traditional officials crowded into the official square made the city lively.

Guanguanfang, this is a huge square market that occupies one-sixth of the area of the eastern city, except for the Baiwangfu Fang, it is the largest.

At the beginning of the construction, officials of the Ministry of Industry estimated that 30,000 people could live here, and more than half of the square was vacant land, which could accommodate 60,000 or 70,000 people if these vacant spaces were also used.

On the day after the release of the list, more than 20,000 officials received notices that they would all spend time in the officials' hall until their positions were decided.

At noon, even if the cold wind was bleak, many people began to rush to the house because they were reluctant to pay for the house, and some officials in the bureaucracy began to arrange their accommodation.

Different from the official workshops in other places, the official workshops in the capital are slightly more humane, and a courtyard occupies an area of two points, about one hundred and twenty or thirty square meters.

The courtyard is divided into left and right ear rooms, as well as a backyard firewood room, a horse shed, and a main house.

There are four rooms where you can rest in a courtyard, a main hall, and in the middle of the courtyard is a courtyard of thirty square meters, and there are stone tables and stone piers in the corners.

Such a courtyard was shared by two officials.

"Just the two of us?"

In the lively environment, a Confucian student dressed in Confucian clothes and wearing a square scarf walked into the courtyard in disbelief, and behind him there was a calmer Confucian and a smiling scribe.

"Yes, from today on, this courtyard will be the courtyard of Yan Juren and Liu Juren."

"But I need to remind the two of you that if the two of you are sent to a local office, the yard will be taken back, and if the two of you are serving in Beijing, you must not leave the house idle for more than three months per year, otherwise you will have to take it back."

"But if you go to the local government and return to the capital to report on your work, you can still come to the officials' workshop, there are vacant rooms or empty courtyards, and the officials' workshop is still arranged for the two of you to move in."

The scribe's words made the two Confucian scholars who had not yet served nod their heads, and the Confucian surnamed Yan even said:

"Such rules are good, but they won't let the entire bureaucracy be idle."

"There are so many officials in Beijing, can only one official shop satisfy the officials in Beijing?"

The words of the Confucian surnamed Yan made the Confucian surnamed Liu also look at the scribe curiously, and the scribe smiled and said:

"The officials living in this official's workshop are all officials, even if they are scribes, they have twelve taels of silver a year, and the price of the same two-point courtyard in the three cities of the east, west and south is only twenty taels of silver."

"Even if a person from a poor family has been an official for two years, he can buy a house in the three outer cities, so since the construction of the official workshop, there have been officials moving in every year, and officials have come out every year, except for a few days after the year of Enke, there has never been a situation where the house has been full."

The scribe's words made the Confucian surnamed Liu curious: "Although there are a lot of twelve taels of silver a year, it costs twenty taels of silver to buy a house, and it takes twenty months even if you don't eat or drink, what about the eating and drinking problems of the officials?" ”

"There is a solution...... "The scribe replied with a very calm face to the question:

"There are free meals for officials in the official's workshop, and the specific meal ticket is to go to the four big kitchens in the east, west, north and south of the square to eat."

As he spoke, the scribe took out a small stack of two-finger-long oiled paper tickets from his bosom, divided them, and handed them to the two of them:

"This is a meal ticket, one ticket for one meal, eat more and eat less as you want, but you can't waste it, and those who waste it will be fined fifty yuan."

"In addition to meal tickets, there are also tea tickets for three taels, as well as a lot of oil tickets and coal tickets."

"If the two of you don't want to eat in the big kitchen, you can also exchange it for rice and wheat at the imperial store next to the big kitchen, and take the rice and wheat home to cook."

"A meal ticket can be exchanged for a catty of rice and wheat, a catty of fresh vegetables, and half a catty of meat."

"Such a good ......" took the meal ticket, the Confucian surnamed Liu was a little incredulous, and the scribe continued to explain with a smile:

"The official workshop often serves the officials who have just stepped into the official career, long live and the king of Qi once said that the official start is the most difficult, most of the officials are forced to accept bribes because of life, so to solve the problem of food and housing, it can reduce some officials to go astray."

"It's also ......" Hearing the scribe's words, the Confucian surnamed Yan bowed slightly, and the scribe also said when he saw this:

"The two of you don't need to buy bedding, in the four rooms in the courtyard, the left and right ear rooms are the study, and the left and right rooms of the main house are bedrooms, and the bedrooms are all furnished, and there are also washed bedding in the cabinets."

"The other two may not know the structure of the room in the official's house, so they need to talk to the two of them."

"When the official's workshop was built, a fire wall, a fire kang and a fireplace were specially built, so Brother Liu needed to pay attention to the need to add coal to the fireplace when he went home every day."

With that, the scribe took them to the main house, introduced and demonstrated to the two of them the role of the fireplace, the ondol, and the fire wall, and reminded them of potential safety hazards.

For example, if the chimney is not blocked, it is likely to be poisoned, and the other is the problem of fire prevention, and the coal pile should be placed in the firewood room.

In addition, there are the problems of how to add coal, and not to close the doors and windows too tightly.

In the end, the scribe succeeded in lighting the fireplace, and after the fireplace burned, although the three of them didn't feel too warm for the time being, after seeing the fire, the chill on their bodies was also dispelled a lot.

"Among the northern provinces, I have heard that Shanxi, Shaanxi, Liaodong and Beizhili and other places in one capital and three provinces already have official workshops, and the rest of Henan, Hexi and other places should also be under construction."

"If there is an official's workshop in the place where the two of you are going, then there are probably these things."

"Don't worry too much about the problem of coal, most of the coal tickets of the officials on weekdays have 300 honeycomb coal, and in the winter they will allocate an additional 300."

With that, the scribe looked at the two of them, and continued:

"In this way, most of the rules in the official's workshop, you two just need to keep it in mind."

"Thank you, brother......" Hearing the scribe's words, the two Confucian scholars also knew that the scribe was leaving, so they hurriedly bowed.

"The two of you will have a ...... later" The scribe saluted in return when he saw this, and then turned around and left the small courtyard, and did not forget to take the courtyard door with him when he went out.

The two watched him leave, and then couldn't help but sigh:

"People say that the court is mean officials, but at the moment, if this is admitted to Enke, even if it is an official, it is much better than most people."

The person who sighed was a Confucian surnamed Liu, although his family background was not on the same as poverty, but it was limited to the extent that he could not die of hunger and could not be cold.

Faced with the current favor of the officials, he couldn't help but touch the furniture in the main room:

"Wan Heng, fortunately, you persuaded me to come to Kaoenke, otherwise, with more than ten acres of thin fields in my family, even if I study hard for a few years and get admitted to a lifting person, I may not be able to enjoy this."

After his exclamation was heard by the Confucian surnamed Yan next to him, he reminded the convenience:

"Zhongshan, you and I have been admitted to Enke, and I will be an official of the Ming Dynasty in the future."

"At present, the court treats me like a parent, and I must not go astray in the future."

"Haha! Don't worry, I definitely won't, not to mention that I just barely got a C-class grade, I'm afraid no one will come to bribe me. The Confucian surnamed Liu responded with a smile and quipped:

"It's you Yan Wanheng, this time I took a first-class exam, I'm afraid that the name will appear in front of the officials or His Royal Highness the King of Qi."

"I don't really care." The Confucian surnamed Yan shook his head and sighed: "I just want to be a good official, worthy of the people and the court......"

"It's also ......" Yan's words made Liu's Confucian couldn't help but sigh.

As if sensing the heat, the two of them unbuttoned their cotton clothes and sighed by the way:

"I don't know how many days you and I can stay in this official's house, and where will we be sent......"

——————

"Yan Yingyuan ......"

When the students in the official workshop were still sighing, Zhu Youzhen, who had already driven into Beijing's Xicheng, was dealing with the suspension, and what he was holding in his hand was the document book admitted by Enke two days ago.

In order not to let go of any talents, Zhu Youzhen will personally read the documents such as the annual imperial examination and the appointment and dismissal of officials, so as not to slip any talents.

Today he was the same as in previous years, but he didn't expect that he didn't even finish the first page before he saw a familiar name.

[Yan Yingyuan, Tongzhou, Beizhili, 19 years old, first-class results in six subjects, first-class in policy theory]

"I did a good job."

Zhu Youzhen circled Yan Yingyuan's name with a red pen, and Wang Chengen, who was sitting next to him, caught a glimpse of this scene and knew that this person was going to be reused.

Zhu Youzhen didn't have many moves to circle people's names in previous years, but he didn't expect to circle one person when the Enke document was opened this year.

"There are no candidates for the warden of Baoding County, right?"

Zhu Youzhen looked up at Lu Wenzhao, and when Lu Wenzhao heard this, he hurriedly found out this month's official appointment and dismissal book, and only nodded after flipping through it: "There is no candidate yet." ”

"Hmm......" Zhu Youzhen lowered his head, lifted the Zhu pen, and remarked the Baoding County Warden with the Zhu pen behind Yan Yingyuan.

He continued to look at thousands of names, but he didn't see a single familiar name.

Before he could finish dealing with it, the carriage stopped, and Cao Bianjiao's voice came from outside the carriage:

"Your Highness, I've arrived."

"Well......" Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen folded a corner on the book with his hand, and then closed it before getting out of the car.

Lu Wenzhao and Wang Chengen got out of the car one after another, and after escorting Zhu Youzhen to get out of the car, the group saw Yang Rushi, Yang Yuanai, Li Dingguo and others standing in the wind and snow at the door.

"Your Highness Chitose-"

The three of them, together with the soldiers and horses of the Wanping battalion who guarded the Qi Palace, sang loudly, and many people from the nearby palace also came out to watch the momentum of the Qi Palace.

Many vassal kings have not left Beijing in recent years, and they are all waiting for Zhu Youzhen's order to become a vassal domain.

A few days ago, they finally heard the news that the army of Cochin had opened the old port and was preparing to go to Xiaoxiyang, so many of the feudal lords involved in the establishment of the domain began to ask to come to the capital to wait for the establishment of the domain.

"It's really imposing......"

At the gate of Fuwang's Mansion, looking at Zhu Youzhen coming back in the distance, the sour smell in Zhu Changxun's words was about to smoke the guards of Fuwang's Mansion to death.

It seems that after discovering that Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen had no intention of doing anything to him, Zhu Changxun became a lot bolder.

Although he still left his young son in Luoyang, the concubines and other concubines were received to the capital.

Not only that, but he seemed to realize that the cowardice of his eldest son was related to himself, so he was ruthless and directly threw Zhu Youqu into the thirteenth school of Yanshan to study from scratch.

It is estimated that it will take six years to learn, but Zhu Changxun doesn't care.

After all, in the eyes of a strategic idiot like him, it is still a question whether the Ming army can conquer all the feudal territories in six years.

"His Royal Highness King Qi has lost a lot of weight......"

"It's also darkened a lot......"

"Let's have someone give you a gift slip in the evening......"

"I don't know when he will choose a concubine......"

In the Hundred Kings' Mansion, there was an endless stream of discussions about Zhu Youzhen, but Zhu Youzhen, who returned to the Qi Palace, did not have so much thought.

He said hello to Yang Ru and Yang Yuan, and then looked at Li Dingguo, who had grown a lot taller, walked up the steps, patted the kid on the shoulder and said:

"How? How many military books have you read in the past few months? How many ways have you learned? ”

For Li Dingguo, Zhu Youzhen has been cultivating well, but he is too young, and Zhu Youzhen is busy with his own affairs, so most of them still adopt the free-range education method.

Fortunately, Li Dingguo is more competitive, perhaps because he has seen some tragic scenes of people starving to death in northern Shaanxi, Li Dingguo studied very hard.

When Zhu Youzhen went to Shaanxi, this kid was worried about his hometown and wanted to follow him, but in the end, he didn't beat Zhu Youzhen and was left in the capital by him.

During the days when Zhu Youzhen went south, especially in Yan'an, Li Dingguo basically had to write letters every day.

However, Zhu Youzhen only read his letter hastily, after all, Shaanxi was too busy.

"Naturally, I've seen a lot!" Li Dingguo's voice was quite loud, and his appearance was neither big nor small, which made Yang Ru glare at him.

Li Dingguo's Zhu Youzhen, who is not afraid of talking and laughing on weekdays, is afraid of Yang Ru to death, and there is a kind of blood suppression of his sister to his younger brother.

was stared at and shrunk his neck, Li Dingguo lowered his voice slightly, and then asked Zhu Youzhen worriedly:

"Your Highness, is Yan'an okay?"

When the words "......" were uttered, Zhu Youzhen, Lu Wenzhao, and Wang Chengen all breathed sluggishly.

Is Yan'an good?

This sentence reminded Zhu Youzhen of the matter in Luochuan County again, although the people of Yan'an were not as miserable as Luochuan, they did not get all the disaster relief food and disaster relief money promised by the imperial court.

Up to now, even though Zhu Youzhen has killed a large number of officials, the behavior of corrupt officials still makes him hate it every time he thinks about it.

"There are too many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and a lot of the food and silver sent by the court have been embezzled, but no one has starved to death."

Zhu Youzhen did not choose to hide it, living in this era, it is better to understand that this is a cannibalistic world earlier than later.

"That's good......" Li Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief, obviously in his childhood, no one was starved to death, and he already belonged to a very good life.

"The food is getting cold, and some people don't know ...... hungry"

Yang Ru couldn't stand it, she was different from her aunt, she was pampered by Zhu Youzhen since she was a child, but she was not the kind of pampered that the eldest lady had, but she was particularly pampered by Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen doesn't eat, when to eat, when to eat, when to eat, when to sleep, she has a scale in her heart.

Although she is only eleven years old, she looks like the housekeeper of the Qi Palace.

In the entire Qi Palace, she was the only one who dared to "ridicule" Zhu Youzhen in the open.

It's just that this kind of ridicule is always based on protecting Zhu Youzhen's health.

"Alright, let's go in and eat."

After half a year of absence, hearing Yang Ruye's "cynicism" again, Zhu Youzhen felt quite warm.

Also under his greeting, everyone walked into the Qi Palace, and the onlookers of the Hundred Kings Mansion also dispersed with the closure of the gate of the Qi Palace.

After a while, in the hall of the Qi Palace, Zhu Youzhen sat in the main seat, and Lu Wenzhao, Wang Chengen, Cao Bianjiao, Cao Dingjiao, Li Dingguo and other eight people also sat in other positions at the big round table.

On the large round table, there are more than 20 dishes such as stir-fried yellow cabbage with pork, steamed pork trotters, fried fresh fish with two boils, steamed chicken with five flavors, pepper and vinegar goose, roast pork, lychee pork, and sturgeon.

After all, it is not surprising that nine people are on the table and eat more than 20 dishes.

"Why is there no lamb?"

The army was used to eating mutton during the march, and at first glance there was no mutton on the table, and Zhu Youzhen was still a little curious.

"Mr. Wang said that His Royal Highness can't eat mutton recently, and he can't eat peony soup and beef and donkey meat, so he should avoid eating for half a month, and he should drink gentian soup twice a day, and he must sleep for four hours."

Yang Ru was particularly concerned about Zhu Youzhen's health, and when Zhu Youzhen returned to the house, she gave Zhu Youzhen a lot of things.

"You've set the rules for Lonely?" Zhu Youzhen chuckled, while Yang Ru pouted:

"Your Highness doesn't take care of your body, only the slave and maid cherish and take care of Your Highness!"

The tone is very impulsive, but the words are caring.

Zhu Youzhen didn't scold her when he saw this, and the others were already surprised.

The entire Baiwang Mansion and the Inner Court knew that there was a little maid in the Qi Palace, and no one could mess with her.

"If you have any other rules, please say them together, lest when I deal with the recitals, you will run to the study and hang around and supervise me."

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and commanded while eating, while Yang Rushi took out a thin document from his arms and handed it to Zhu Youzhen.

"Still writing paperwork?" Zhu Youzhen joked, put down his chopsticks and took it over.

The document was very thin, estimated to be only three or four pages, and after Zhu Youzhen opened it, the font on it was elegant and elegant, and the content was written a lot.

From diet and daily life, to Zhu Youzhen's rest time, including massage during rest, dredging muscles and bones, everything is available.

At this moment, Yang Ru is not like a little girl, but like an old mother.

Zhu Youzhen just glanced at it and closed it, because he knew that he wouldn't abide by it, but after handing the document to Yang Rushi, he quipped:

"You care about everything now, are you lonely, are you falling behind in your studies? If it falls, then it will be so lonely that Chengen will deduct your ICBC. ”

"The students are all first-class, so they can't paint well, and if they want to be punished, they will punish the painter master."

Yang Ru lowered his head and buried his food, but his eyes looked at Zhu Youzhen from time to time.

"Can't you paint?" Zhu Youzhen frowned, and Yang began to "sneer" again:

"As soon as the painter went out, he went for more than half a year, and no one taught him for most of the year, how good can it be......"

"You girl, there are so many painters in the house, it's not enough for you to learn?" Hearing Yang Ruyi's words, Wang Chengen couldn't help but laugh and joke.

Apparently, everyone understood what she meant.

There are so many painters in the Qi Palace, she can learn from any one of them, but now she is using this as an excuse, obviously just complaining that Zhu Youzhen has been out for too long.

"You are also ......" Zhu Youzhen chuckled when he saw this, then lowered his body and came closer to comfort Yang Rus:

"Okay, I'll take a day out tomorrow to teach you how to draw......"

"You're not a painter...... Yang Ru was unforgiving, but she couldn't hold back her smile, and anyone who saw it knew that she was very happy.

Zhu Youzhen shook his head when he saw this, and then continued to bow his head and eat this warm family banquet......
