"As a result of this examination, a total of 16,732 candidates were present, and 11,901 were among those aged between 14 and 30, of which 7,916 passed with 60 points in both subjects. Regardless of age, the total number of passers is 12,823." Tao An, who is in his late teens, is still quick to think, and skillfully reported the numbers that were only counted yesterday, while adding: "The remaining 3,909 people are all well-versed in literature and ink, or Pingzhang proposed, and the Lord has also approved the early dynasty, so they can be retained."

The lobby side of the dragon burned enough to warm the small hall.

Zhu Yuan nestled in a large chair with a thick mattress next to the table by the window, flipped through the fresh forms filled with various data in his hand, and then calculated: "It's still not enough, more than 16,000 people are counted, and this ten reforms need to fill a large number of people, as well as local state and county governments and schools, as well as various "groups" and "companies", hmm...... The military will also have a large number of needs in the future, and if you calculate it, I am afraid that more than 6,000 fractions will have to be cut off directly."

Tao An shook his head: "Pingzhang, you still forgot one."

"Huh?"

Tao An said: "The imperial court wants to use it, but if the arrangement is not satisfactory...... Those scholars are afraid and do not want to stay."

Zhu Yuan reacted, this is a problem.

And......

Still a big problem.

In this era, even the most basic civil servants had to earn a lot of money.

Right now......

If you want to give it to the official, people don't necessarily want it.

What's more, this time is different from the past, except for a small number of top-notch ones, the others are still proposed by Zhu Yuan, and those who can be given are basically officials who are not in the stream.

In this era, scholars are expensive, so it is conceivable that there will only be more people who are unwilling.

Moreover, you can't force it yet.

Twisted melons are not sweet.

Twisted man...... It may be a mistake.

However, Zhu Yuan didn't intend to do nothing, after a little consideration, he said to Tao An: "You release the news later, if you don't want to obey the arrangement of the imperial court this time, then in the future, don't think about it again."

Tao An hesitated: "Pingzhang, I'm afraid it's inappropriate......

"I will tell my ancestors," Zhu Yuan said, "I believe that my ancestors will agree."

Of course Lao Zhu would agree.

There will be more of the old Zhu in the past, for example, you don't want to be a leader, right, you can't look down on me in the Ming Dynasty, right, okay, I'll cut you into, into, two, and ......

Of course, it was so intense, Zhu Yuan felt that it was unnecessary.

Next, the key is the reform of officials' salaries.

This is a key point that Zhu Yuan thought of very early.

Moreover, this time, Zhu Yuan must convince Lao Zhu a little.

Money, give enough!

For this one, compared with the Great Song Dynasty, the former Lao Zhu was indeed too picky, so that the result of picking the door was ...... In fact, it is counterproductive.

Not to mention some of the black areas.

Let's just say that if you don't give money, my yamen won't be able to operate, so what should I do?

There's always a way!

As a result, a huge proportion of "fire consumption" appeared.

Later people may think that "fire consumption" is only those consumption in the process of silver refining, and then the fire consumption of the Qing Dynasty was returned to the public, and this part was also collected.

Not really.

Far from it.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the proportion of "fire consumption" was even higher than the income of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, this has also brought about the problem of various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which has further increased the burden on the people. And all this is because in the early days of the founding of the country, Lao Zhu wanted to save money.

This is off-topic.

At the moment, hearing Zhu Yuan say this, Tao An also understood Lao Zhu's possible attitude, and he had to persuade a few more words, thinking about giving up in the end, and then said: "Don't mention these for the time being, Pingzhang, anyway, because the national university that Guozijian has restructured, this time, our 16 majors, each with 500 people, is definitely far from enough. Morning ...... Oh, the old man swept the floor, then Xu Chunren actually wanted to divide the candidates with us equally, so I quarreled with him...

… Or the Lord himself will cut them off, and give them 3,000 men, and I will consider it privately, or it will be equal to dividing it."

Zhu Yuan's reaction was not as big as Tao An's, and he continued to flip through the data in his hand, and said, "Pick out the best part first, and we'll stay."

Tao An smiled bitterly: "Many people in Guozixue participated in this review of the test papers, as well as the statistical records after unpacking, Xu Chunren is afraid that he already has a list in his hands. Furthermore, the candidates themselves ...... I'm afraid there will be ideas. Pingzhang, we have many professional settings...... It's too deviant for traditional Confucian scholars to dislike."

Zhu Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Guozi Academy needs 3,000 people, do they have such a large campus, can't they let students live in the Qinhuai River?"

Tao An pointed to the north: "After the court this morning, Xu Chunren has already gone to see the place, west of the Red Mountain...... The Lord also nodded. At present, there is no shortage of craftsmen in Beijing, and the new school building will be successful in March."

Jinling University is on the east side of Hongshan Mountain, and you are here to pick it in the west.

One east and one west.

This is going to fight!

Zhu Yuan thought, but the corners of his mouth curled.

In fact, if you want, Zhu Yuan can easily take the entire Ming education system under his own name, in fact, he also proposed to set up the "Ministry of Education" before, but unfortunately, this time it was not included in the ranks of the "Ten Ministries" by Lao Zhu, but under the direct jurisdiction of the Chinese book, and each department is in charge.

[In view of the general environment,

For example, the planned Jinling Military University, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Chinese book, must be under the control of the Ministry of Soldiers, and it is impossible to be assigned to the Ministry of Rites.

Since Zhongshu is directly under the central government, there should always be a governing general.

It just so happened that Zhu Yuan believed that Lao Zhu was happy for him to be responsible.

Zhu Yuan didn't want to catch it, at the moment, there was a Xu Chunren jumping out, to a certain extent, it was more in line with Zhu Yuan's interests. Otherwise, all the students in the world are taught by you, what do you want to do in this era when you attach great importance to "Heaven and Earth Princes"?

Zhu Yuan didn't want to be the "principal".

Boring.

Actually, Lao Zhu shouldn't think about it much, someone is confident enough to be able to calm the scene, and Zhu Yuan himself really didn't think about it so much.

But, what about the future?

Zhu Yuan's current grace is too much, so no matter who jumps out against him now, he is happy to see that this will be a balance that can make Lao Zhu feel at ease subconsciously.

Of course, it's better to be smart and moderately targeted, just like Xu Chunren. Otherwise, if the other party wants to kill himself, Zhu Yuan can only kill the other party first.

Thinking like this, Zhu Yuan still said in a relaxed tone: "Then there is no way, my lord, what you have to do next is to make a good mess in your hand and make a sacrifice wine with you...... Well, I'm going to call the headmaster later, and I prefer that title, anyway, you're going to be up to the bottom."

Tao An glanced at someone: "Pingzhang is optimistic, huh?"

"Is it so obvious?"

Tao An just smiled.

After living for almost sixty years and working in the court for so many years, Tao An can of course understand Zhu Yuan's thoughts and admire them very much.

Zhu Yuan's current age, the young man is directly under the government, and he can still make such a choice, not fighting or grabbing, Tao An has to admit that if it is him, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it.

Therefore, I also remembered the first issue of "Daming Monthly", which I have also repeatedly browsed in the past few days.

In "Dream of Red Mansions", that couplet.

There is more than a hand behind him, and there is no way to turn back.

Tao Anke knows the origin of "Dream of Red Mansions", so he sighed that someone can not only write it, but also really practice it.

The two chatted a few more words, and Zhu Yuan gradually flipped to the end of the data, and thought of one thing: "One of the candidates this time, Qian Tang, I met last time, what is the plan for the ancestors?"
