There was a lot of content on the notice, but Lu Shiyuan was stunned when he only saw the first line, and his eyes were fixed on the four big words "regardless of the people, industry and commerce".

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, tearing open the hazy sky above Lu Shiyuan's head and opening a window of hope for him.

Lu Hongfu also saw his father's strange appearance, and then thought of the content on the notice, and guessed his father's thoughts.

"Daddy, are you going to try it?"

Lu Shiyuan was quite moved when he heard this, he really wanted to try, but he was worried that his identity would cause the government to investigate.

If they are targeted by Jinyi Guard, it will be even more devastating for their Lu family.

But if he doesn't try, then he may live with regrets for the rest of his life.

Although he didn't know where the imperial grandson had the confidence to dare to make such a notice, for him, this was tantamount to the best opportunity.

You can not only show what you have learned in your chest, but also realize your lofty ideals of goods all over the world.

It's just that the imperial grandson is so young, not as old as the weak crown, does he really have the courage and courage to break the stereotypes and bad habits?

Could it be a trap set by the imperial court, just waiting for them, who are aspiring to be officials, to catch them all?

Lu Shiyuan was hesitating, but Zhang Tianyou was disdainful.

Zhang Tianyou also brought his servants to Songjiang Mansion to play.

Compared with other people's impure purposes, Zhang Tianyou is much purer, taking a few concubines to play all day long, and he doesn't take Zhu Yunxi seriously at all.

In his opinion, even if Emperor Laozi came to Songjiang Mansion, this city would not be able to do it. What's more, what is coming now is only an imperial grandson, or a teenage imperial grandson.

When he saw the wind and waves on the sea and knew the difficulty of sea trade, he naturally retreated.

"Master, what do you think of this silver hairpin?"

Zhang Tianyou glanced at it casually and said disdainfully.

"Isn't the gold hairpin at home enough for you to wear, and you actually take a fancy to such a worthless thing?"

"Oh, people just want to buy this silver hairpin because they see the exquisite workmanship......

"Buy, buy, buy!"

"Come on, I've got everything in this shop!"

"Thank you, sir, hee-hee-hee-hee......"

Zhang Tianyou casually dismissed the concubine's commotion, and wandered around the street with his hands behind his back. When he saw that there were people gathered in front of him, he also walked over.

"Recruitment Notice?"

"It seems that the imperial grandson also knows that if the city department wants to operate normally, it needs a large number of officials and scribes!"

"But does he know where to find someone?"

Zhang Tianyou looked at the notice playfully, and when he saw the four big words "regardless of the people, industry and commerce", his face immediately sank.

I can't see that this imperial grandson is still a little Taoist, and he grabbed the sore feet of Lu Guanfan at once!

Although Zhang Tianyou respects Lu Shiyuan very much on the surface, he has always called him an old official fan in private.

He couldn't figure it out, isn't it good to be a rich maritime businessman, why do you always want to be a dog for the court?

Even if you don't feel like being a maritime businessman, you can go overseas to build a country.

Whether it is Japan, Siam, Ryukyu, Vietnam and other places, they are all poor and weak, and they can be ceded and crowned king with a few thousand people.

Zhang Tianyou has the ambition to go overseas to build a country, and he has done so all these years. He has moved many of his children out of the country, and now he has gained a firm foothold in Vietnam.

It's just that when he thought that the Zhu family robbed their family, he was unwilling for a while, and he always wanted to take it back for his father!

After Zhang Tianyou finished reading the notice, he sneered and shook his head and left.

This kind of fooling children is only believed by a fool like Lu Shiyuan.

After learning of this notice, the attitude of the other merchants of the Seven Seas was similar to that of Zhang Tianyou.

Only Shen Congxing, the head of the Shen family, and Luo Guancheng, the head of the Luo family, showed some interest in this.

Shen Congxing fully learned the experience of his grandfather's defeat

Lessons, understand the truth that the people do not fight with the officials.

No matter how rich you are in Daming, you can't compare to being an official.

is the so-called county order that breaks the family, and the prefect who destroys the door.

It's really a critical moment, and it's better to have power in your hands than to have a lot of money.

Therefore, I am very interested in the official positions from the fifth and sixth grades issued by the city.

Luo Guancheng is because of the relationship between his brothers, and his brother Luo Guanzhong is now the chief editor of the Emperor's grandson's Sanwei Library, responsible for the selection, correction, and printing of the entire Sanwei Library.

Moreover, Luo Guanzhong earned more than 100,000 taels of silver in manuscript fees by the side of the emperor's grandson, and in just one year, he earned more than he had earned by writing half a lifetime of books before.

Therefore, Luo Guanzhong admires the imperial grandson very much, and praises the imperial grandson Gao Yi every time he exchanges letters, and he is a person who values his promises.

Luo Guancheng received the influence of his brother, and he also had a good impression of the imperial grandson.

It's just that the two of them are tempted, but no one dares to take a risk.

The reason is very simple, the two of them bear the lives of thousands of people in the clan, how can they put the family in danger because of their selfishness?

But the two were unwilling to give up this opportunity, and after silently noting down the recruitment time, they returned to the clan and selected a few side children to participate.

This is also the consistent style of businessmen, and there are no dates to fight a rod.

In contrast to the wait-and-see attitude of the merchants of the Nine Seas, the local gentry of Songjiang Prefecture felt rejoicing.

What they fancy is not a promotion, deputy promotion, etc., but a fancy to the secretary office and subordinate members who have worked for three years and automatically obtain the status of a student.

The so-called student is Xiucai, and the student is the official term, which means that the student is qualified to participate in the imperial examination if he passes the examination. Xiucai is a folk title, which belongs to a kind of honorific title for the people to the students.

Although passing the student examination does not mean that you can become an official, you have a reputation and are no longer ordinary people.

For these local squires who have lived in Songjiang Mansion for generations, jinshi and juren are too far away, and being able to make a show of talent is enough to keep their hundreds of acres of land and let them live a decent life in the local area.

Do not serve hard labor, reduce taxes, and do not kneel when you see officials!

It's beautiful to think about!

Some people are happy, but naturally some people are worried, especially Deng Chushan, the prefect of Songjiang, who was vacated by Zhou Zhiqing.

Deng Chushan has been the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture for thirteen years, and he has long regarded this one-third of an acre of land as his own industry.

In fact, he did.

He did not have many fields in Songjiang Mansion, only a few thousand acres, but there were many mansions and shops in the city.

Although many of them are not in his name, they all occupy dry shares.

When he was the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, he said that those merchants did not dare to lose his share of silver.

Now that he has been given a position and become an old man who is idle at home, will those businessmen still take him seriously?

Therefore, when he saw that the imperial grandson acted perversely, disregarded the national system, and used the official position of the imperial court as a means to invite businessmen, Deng Chushan was so angry that he didn't eat that night, and wrote a song overnight and sent it to a friend in the capital, asking them to spread the matter for him.

The day after Zhu Yunxi's notice was posted, hundreds of civil and military officials in the capital began to discuss it.

Because this matter is too big, it has a far-reaching impact on the officialdom of Daming.

When the system of electing and employing officials was established in all dynasties, it was stipulated that businessmen, craftsmen and other lowly people were not allowed to participate.

However, His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince Sun broke this timeless rule and said the phrase "Shimin Industry and Commerce" for the first time.

If anyone can become an official, then what's the point of their hard work to gain fame?

Therefore, when the hundreds of officials in the capital learned of this, they didn't need to be careless, so they spontaneously went to the palace to complain to the old emperor.

Lao Zhu had already learned about this from Jinyiwei before everyone came.

Lao Zhu was also furious about this, and secretly scolded the rebel grandson for not knowing the height of the sky, and changing the rules set by him, the emperor's grandfather.

But he didn't dare to reprimand him too much, for fear of this rebellion

As soon as the child is hot, he runs to the sea again.

Now seeing the hundred officials running to the gate of the Qianqing Palace and crying, Lao Zhu was depressed in his heart.

You can't scold and scold, you can't beat them, you can only let them cry at the door.

"Qin Deshun, you go and tell them, just say that we know about this, and when the imperial grandson returns to Beijing, he will definitely be punished severely!"

"In addition, Songjiang Mansion is a fief that we once gave to the emperor's grandson, even if it is a bit radical, it will never affect the official system of the Ming Dynasty!"

"This year's autumn festival is still in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and it is still in accordance with the rules of previous years, and those who are not innocent will not be recorded!"

"No!"

Qin Deshun ran outside the door and repeated Lao Zhu's words, and the crying officials stopped.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"It's just that the ministers are still uneasy in their hearts, the imperial grandson appoints officials without going through the ministry, which is inconsistent with the laws of the imperial court, and I also ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to reprimand, and explicitly issue an edict not to recognize the official position of Songjiang City......

If an ordinary official said this, Qin Deshun would not take it seriously. The person who can say this is Zhan Wei, the secretary of the ministry, who is a person that His Majesty the Emperor relies on very much, and he can't be allowed not to care.

"Emperor, Lord Zhan Wei said......

"We're not deaf, so you don't need to be verbose!"

Lao Zhu was so angry that he spun around on the ground, and thought for a while before relieving himself.

This time, he didn't let Qin Deshun pass the word, but walked out of the Qianqing Palace by himself and explained it to the officials kneeling at the foot of the steps.

"What Zhan Wei said is reasonable!"

"The official position appointed by the emperor's grandson privately does not belong to the imperial court sequence, and we will issue an edict tomorrow to make it clear to the world that we will not recognize the private recruitment of the city boss!"

When everyone heard His Majesty the Emperor speak in person, they thanked him happily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live......

They have shouted long live for decades, but today they shouted sincerely, feeling that the emperor was finally on their side for once.

Lao Zhu looked at the back of the hundred officials leaving, and a sneer appeared on his face.

Although these officials were right, he was very much in agreement with them. But he didn't like the feeling of being persecuted.

They dare to enter the palace today to cry, and they can't imagine what they can do tomorrow!

"Yu Linwei, who is guarding the door, must stop us in the future when you encounter this......

"Forget it!"

"Let them go!"

Originally, Lao Zhu wanted to say that Yu Linwei would stop them, but as soon as he thought of not letting them enter the palace, they would kneel at the gate of the palace and cry.

When the passers-by saw this situation, they had to mistakenly think that he, the emperor, had died, so he took this idea back.

It's just that when he thought of the boldness of the rebel grandson, Lao Zhu was angry, and smashed more than a dozen large vat with an iron hammer, and finally felt more comfortable.

"Send a message to Erhu, let him be sure to keep an eye on the rebel grandson, and urge him to get us back as soon as possible!"

"No!"

When Lao Zhu was furious, Yang Xinlu, Gao Ming and others in the Wenhua Hall were also worried.

For Yang Xinlu, he is also happy to see that there are 300 more students in his hometown.

But for the Ming court, once there are too many students, it will affect not only taxes, but also the system of the imperial court.

Therefore, he did not agree with the law of the emperor's grandson.

At the very least, not all agree with it.

Compared with Yang Xinlu's opposition, Gao Ming appreciated it very much, and felt that the emperor's grandson's move had the courage to use talents in an eclectic manner.

But he just admired it and didn't approve of the emperor's grandson's approach.

At the very least, before the emperor's grandson became emperor, he did not recommend taking too many steps.

For the current imperial grandson, as long as he reads and studies, respects the old emperor well, and sends the old emperor to Zhongshan Xiaoling to be buried, that is the biggest task.

"Brother Yang, the emperor's grandson's move may cause resentment among hundreds of officials!"

"Brother Gao, haven't you heard, the hundred officials have already gone to the Qianqing Palace to cry......

"Oh?"

"What did Your Majesty say?"

"What else can Your Majesty say, it is naturally in accordance with the will of the hundred officials!"

Gao Ming nodded when he heard this.

"Your Majesty is very sober, and there is no one who spoils the imperial grandson."

Yang Xinlu smiled bitterly and shook his head when he heard this.

"Our Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is smart, and he knows best how to govern the country and how to rule his subjects."

The two talked for a while, and then each wrote a letter to the imperial grandson to persuade him to stop the matter quickly.

Although there was a lot of discussion in the government and the opposition, Songjiang City was indeed peaceful.

Zhu Yunxi was not affected by the imperial court in the slightest, but set up the examination room more and more courageously, and even the exam questions were ready.

On the day the notice was posted, the city received hundreds of registrations, and the number of people who signed up for the second day directly exceeded 1,000, and the number of people who signed up for the exam reached 3,000 on the third day.

Seeing that so many people had signed up, Zhu Yunxi felt more confident, and immediately announced the exam date.

On the day of the official exam, tens of thousands of people gathered outside the city.

Some of these people are candidates, some are family members of candidates, and some are purely coming to see the excitement, selling some pens, ink, paper, inkstones, cooking cakes and other things.

Lu Shiyuan was also in the crowd of onlookers.

Originally, he was very hesitant, but after reading the examination rules issued by the city, he felt that even if he didn't want to be an official, he could end his long-cherished wish and enter the examination room to experience the qualifications of a candidate.

When the door of the city division opened, the brocade guards inside came out with gongs and drums, announcing that the first exam was about to begin, and after inviting all candidates to enter the venue in an orderly manner, Lu Shiyuan immediately followed a group of candidates into the examination room.

Before entering the examination room, Lu Shiyuan also told his daughter to wait obediently on the carriage and not to move.

didn't know that as soon as he entered the examination room with his front foot, Lu Hongfu, who was dressed as a man on his back foot, slipped in with a group of candidates with a test blue.

The reason why Lu Hongfu has such courage is mainly because there is no body search link in this exam!

According to the normal imperial examination process of the Ming Dynasty, all students who entered the examination room were to be searched by officers and soldiers.

The process of body search was very humiliating, and sometimes the officers and soldiers would even let them *** their clothes for the sake of rectification.

However, the examination held by Zhu Yunxi this time was not an official imperial examination of the imperial court, and the environment in the examination room was much more relaxed.

Because this is only the first test, there will be a re-test after the first test, and there will be an interview after the retest.

There are a lot of houses in the city, but I can't get enough tables for a while. But this was not difficult for Zhu Yunxi, who was in a hurry, so he ordered someone to use bricks as table legs, and put the wooden board on top to use it as a table.

As for the seats, it's even simpler, two bricks stacked up to make a stool.

Although the tables, chairs and benches are crude, but fortunately, they are indoors, so you don't have to worry about rain and scorching sun exposure.

Lu Hongfu frowned with disgust, and then took out a brocade handkerchief from Kaolan and put it on the rough brick.

However, as soon as she sat down, she worried about her father, and kept looking left and right in the crowd, looking for his father's figure.

Unfortunately, she was not assigned to an examination room with her father, and she didn't see her father after looking for a long time.

However, she soon lost the heart to think about it.

Because the brocade guards wearing flying fish suits have already begun to hand out rolls to everyone.

Lu Hongfu couldn't wait to open the volume, only to see that there was only one title on it, plus a paragraph.

The title is: What is the way of business?

Zhou Shu said: If the farmer does not come out, there is no food, if the work does not come out, there is no work, if the business does not come out, the three treasures are absolute, and if the wealth is not out, the wealth is scarce, and the mountains are not clear.

These four are the origin of food and clothing for the people.

Lu Hongfu was stunned on the spot when she saw this title, she never thought that the imperial grandson would come up with such an exam question.

When he saw the additional words at the back, his heart was even more shocked.

She was very familiar with this passage, and it can be said that as soon as she learned to speak, she had already learned this article in her father's arms.

Taishi Gong's biography of the goods is a must-have famous article for their merchant family, and it is also the belief they rely on to survive.

Whenever they encountered injustice, they would comfort themselves with the goods they would send to them.

Lu Hongfu thought about the exam questions for a while, and then picked up the pen and wrote down the sentence pattern of the question.

"The so-called way of business is to make up for the deficiency after the loss is more than ......"

When Lu Hongfu picked up the answer sheet, many businessmen in the examination room choked up and cried on the test paper.

Who cried the most in the seat, Zhenjiang maritime merchant Lu Shiyuan.

Lu Shiyuan was able to memorize the goods upside down, and he was so moved when he saw this passage.

Now, even if this is a trap set by the imperial court, he has to write out the indignation in his heart.

In this way, Fang will live up to what he has learned in his chest, and he will not live up to the grievances he has suffered for many years.

If the imperial grandson can really treat each other with sincerity, even if he gives all his family wealth, he will help the imperial grandson to complete great achievements!

"It doesn't matter how business is, business is humanity and heaven......

When a group of candidates were taking the exam, Zhu Yunxi was wearing a flying fish suit, and he was also mixed in the brocade guards who invigilated the exam.

He is very loose about the invigilation of the exam, as long as he does not turn his head to ear and blatantly plagiarize, he will turn a blind eye.

He doesn't even care what the candidate writes, he just needs a form and an attitude.

As long as you take my exam, it is an endorsement of my policy!

When he saw that many candidates were moved to tears by himself, not to mention how proud and proud he was.

Lone is just a little tricky, and it attracts the gentry and businessmen of Jiangnan!

Just when Zhu Yunxi was secretly complacent, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a candidate in the examination room.

Compared to other candidates, this candidate's skin is too fair, and his face is too delicate.

The candidate sat down in the crowd as if he had thrown a big white goose into a pile of briquettes.

Woman dressed as a man?

Interesting!
