"What do you think about the imperial examination?"

Seeing that the envoy of the DPRK left, Zhu Gaoxu also sat down and began to talk about business.

"For the time being...... Let's wait. Zhu Zhanyan poured a cup of tea for his father, and then leaned on the bookcase.

"The imperial examination is indeed an efficient way to supplement talents, but to put it bluntly, it is just a selection of talents, and those talents have to go through experience after being selected, and it is impossible to get started directly."

After Zhu Zhanyan mastered Shuntian, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, the officials in the court and the central government were naturally inevitably purged, after all, the cabinet Sanyang was gone, and other civilian officials could not have nothing to do.

Among the old courtiers, there are now Xia Yuanji and Hu Hu left.

Xia Yuanji has always had a good relationship with Zhu Zhanyan, and he is also the one who most hopes that Zhu Zhanyan will control the overall situation.

As for Hu Hui......

This person is actually a bit like Yu Qian, but he is the opposite version of Yu Qian.

Hu Hu is a generous person, and it stands to reason that he should be the most opposed to Zhu Zhanyan's control of the overall situation, but this person is not rigid in doing things, and he is very insightful.

Let's put it this way, this person can be said to be the most stubborn conservative, but in the face of huge changes, but he can make changes, after the change of Tumubao in history, in addition to Yu Qian and Chen Xun, Hu Hu is also resolutely opposed to moving south, and advocates a counterattack on Wara.

In addition, Hu Hu was given the important task of finding Jianwen by Zhu Di in the fifth year of Yongle, and he did not return to the dynasty until the twenty-first year of Yongle.

During this period, he can be said to have traveled all over Daming, and Hu Hu is the one who feels the most about the changes that Zhu Zhanyan has brought to Daming.

This is why he was obviously a Shoucheng faction, but he was able to be retained, and he quickly took over after the execution of his predecessor, Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he took office the next day.

In addition to these veteran officials, there are some in the DPRK and China who came out before the establishment of the Ram School as an official school, and their stay or even life and death depends on their performance, but they will definitely not be reused before this.

And those scholars of the ram study have already been officials, but relatively speaking, there are still few, after all, the time to establish the ram school as an official school is still short, and the goat scholars themselves are few, and they have no experience.

Continuing to select officials through the imperial examination is just a selection of substitutes, and far water can't save the near fire.

In addition, there is one of the most important reasons: in two years, two emperors have died, and the imperial examination is held at this time......

"What then?" Zhu Gaoxu was a little anxious.

Although he did not sit on the throne, he had already substituted himself into it, after all, the current Ming Dynasty was in charge of their family.

If something really happens, it will be difficult for him to explain to the old man after a hundred years.

"Don't worry." Zhu Zhanyan rolled his eyes angrily.

"At present, there are still many people in Daming who can use it, and it has been eight years since Ram School was established as an official school."

"Eight years, in addition to the time to re-study, there are still some people who have been trained early, I looked at it two days ago, and some of these people even came out four years ago, that is, in the nineteenth year of Yongle."

"People here can always pick out some of them, plus the local officials are actually not very affected by this time, the honest officials don't care, and the greedy ones don't delay them from continuing to be greedy, and there will be no problem in three or five years."

"What about the Xiangzhou Mansion, the Southern Prefecture (Delhi Sultan) and the Timurid Empire?" Zhu Gaoxu was obviously not reassured.

"There is also a need for people to govern over there, Zhan Qi is okay to manage the Xiangzhou Mansion, the Delhi Sultan is still a little close, and the Timurid Empire is too far away, and he can't reach it."

"You don't have to worry about that." Zhu Zhanyan smiled and waved his hand.

"You also said that there is no problem for Zhan Qi to manage Xiangzhou Mansion, not to mention that you left your guards to Zhan Qi, even if something happens, isn't there still Zhu Heng?"

"As for the Timurid Empire, there is still the Mu family, right? Moreover, the Timurid Empire had not yet been able to recover from the catastrophe of the harvest, which alone led to the death of more than half of the Timurid Empire. ”

"Now, the Mu family is digging a canal over there according to my orders, and the practice of cash-for-work has attracted a lot of victims, so you don't have to worry about this."

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if they want to gather to resist us, they have to have a foundation, right?"

"The harvest of the Timurid Empire is like that, how can they have the money, food, weapons and armor to resist?"

"As for the Sultan of Delhi......"

Speaking of the Sultan of Delhi, Zhu Zhanyan paused.

"The Delhi Sultan is indeed a problem, but for now, the taste of those low-caste people who have the right to repay for the first time will not be too big a problem in a short period of time, and when we solve the Suncheon side, it will be too late to turn around and solve the Delhi Sultan."

The Sultan of Delhi is the most special existence in the area that Zhu Zhan Yan has taken.

Although the population of the Delhi Sultan was not as large as that of the Ming Dynasty, it was not small, because of the caste system, Zhu Zhan Yan used the Tusi system after "liberating" them.

One is that the people of the lower castes know better what the lower castes need and can manage better, so that the Delhi Sultan is in a kind of absolute calm for a short time.

The second is that he really didn't have much to use at that time, and he couldn't manage it by Chen Xun alone.

However, the vast majority of people in this world are the same, even if they are of the lower castes, after tasting the taste of power, the vast majority of people will be corrupted by power.

But it's not a big problem, it's good to change the land again when the time comes, even if those who used to be at the bottom are corrupted by power, the rest of the people are still at the bottom, plus they have experience before, and it is not difficult to change the land and return to the stream.

Maybe there is no need for Zhu Zhan Yan to make a move, and those low-caste people will solve the problem, after all, they have already had experience before, and what they lack is a backer who can stand behind them.

"And what are you going to do next?" Zhu Gaoxu also let go of his heart when he heard this, changed the topic, and wanted to lead out what he really wanted to say.

"I'm going to send some people to Nu'er Gandusi."

"Nu'er Gandusi?" Zhu Gaoxu's brows furrowed instantly.

"Hmm." Zhu Zhanyan nodded.

"This time, we took over Yingtian, and there are many officials who have been taken down, but not all of them can be disposed of like Yang Rong and them, they and their families need to have a suitable way to deal with it."

"Exile, for example."

"You want them to go to Nu'er Gandusi?" Zhu Gaoxu understood in an instant, but at the same time, new doubts also arose.

"But what do you let them do? It's freezing there, and there's nothing to do when you go, right? Or do you just want to get rid of them? ”

"Didn't you still worry that you didn't have the young people to mine, and you still brought slaves from the west? Isn't it better to let them mine than this? ”

"It's not." Zhu Zhanyan shook his head.

"It's true that it's freezing there, but if it weren't for the intention to let them die, they would still have survived."

"We have cotton clothes and wool, and when we let them go, we will build a house for ourselves first, and it will be no problem to survive."

"And what do you tell them to do?"

"Chop down trees." A smile appeared on Zhu Zhanyan's face.

"Cutting down trees?" Regarding his son's smile, Zhu Gaoxu said that he couldn't understand it.

"Hmm." Zhu Zhanyan nodded, and at the same time stretched out his hand to the guide.

"Don't forget, the Sultan of Delhi is fine, after all, it is close to the Xiangzhou Mansion, but the Timurid Empire is not good, and the sea route is still the most important way."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

Yes, Zhu Zhanyan had been thinking about building a ship, but because he didn't have a way to make treasure ships, he finally had to settle for the next best thing and use ordinary ships to ensure the supply of the expedition to the Golden Horde.

Now that his family has obtained the control of Shuntian Mansion and even the entire Ming Dynasty, the City Ship Division is naturally no exception, and the treasure ship drawings have also been successfully obtained.

After getting the drawings in his heart, Zhu Zhanyan naturally wanted to do a lot of work.

"You haven't been there, so you don't know, those people in the north of the Golden Horde are not a good thing, they are not like us, what is left of the war."

Zhu Zhanyan squinted as he spoke, and his eyes flashed with the light of a yin owl.

"In them, slaves are the most common, and even their own people will hunt each other down, and after they have won a battle, looting is the most common thing to do, and it is a bottomless looting."

"With the treasure ship, we can let Zheng He continue to go to sea, plus the canal I asked the Mu family to dig, we can go directly to their hinterland, and understand their situation through cooperation, business exchanges and other purposes."

"Even by other means to weaken them."

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanyan suddenly raised his head.

"Zhu Ling, is Zheng He here?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, Zheng He has already come, but the villain asked him to wait outside."

Zhu Gaoxu talked about things with Zhu Zhanyan, and also drove everyone out, Zhu Ling naturally would not bother, even if Zheng He, who was summoned by Zhu Zhanyan, came.

"Let him in."

"Yes!"

……

After just a few breaths, Zheng He entered the Renshou Palace and knelt on the ground to salute in a proper manner.

"Zheng He met His Royal Highness King Wu and His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Get up."

"Yes."

With Zhu Zhanyan's permission, Zheng He stood up and raised his head.

After raising his head, Zhu Zhanyan saw a face full of complex emotions.

Zheng He really didn't expect that the last time he came back from the ocean was only two years, first Emperor Taizong, who strongly supported him, died in the sky, and then Emperor Hongxi, who had just ascended the throne for a year, died.

Before the Ming Dynasty came out of the haze of the death of the two emperors, Zhu Zhanyan decided to return to Shuntian, nominally to go to Changling to worship Emperor Taizong, but in fact, he quickly took over the Ming Dynasty with a thunderous force.

Since that day, Emperor Xuande has been under house arrest in Qingning Palace, where no one can be seen except the Empress Dowager.

How many years? It has been sixteen years since the seventh year of Yongle, and at that time, Zhu Zhan Yan installed people to enter the market, and Zheng He even had dealt with Zhu Zhan Ping, although he had never met.

But Zheng He never thought that the young man at the beginning would have reached this height today.

Make up for yesterday's arrears.
