The talent selection mechanism of the Ming Dynasty, from the imperial examination to the officialdom, one step at a time, each one is a matter of life and death, and if you can't pass it, it will be a lifetime, and Fan Jin, who has passed the examination, has become crazy, not a false absurdity, a magical reality, and a class leap.

From tens of millions of scholars to 300 Jinshi every three years, they are already dragons and phoenixes in the world, and then they will enter the officialdom to continue to roll, and finally roll to the Jingtang of the Ming Dynasty, roll to the six Ming Gongs, roll to the Wenhua Palace, and roll to the cabinet.

Although the auxiliary ministers of each cabinet have different personalities, they are well-versed in the world and have good feelings, and they are very, very clear about the problems of the Ming Dynasty, and even have their own ideas to solve these problems, but no one has ever wanted to effectively solve these problems, not that they will not, nor that they can't, but they don't do it.

Yang Bo didn't understand the disadvantages of the world, but he didn't do it, Wang Chonggu proved with practice that he really understood the Ming Dynasty, but before he was beaten, he didn't do it, when Wan Shihe first entered the court, he fooled the children, they were very clear about the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty, and even mastered the ancestral law.

Zhang Juzheng did it, he took a group of very brave people, Qi Jiguang, Wang Guoguang, Tan Lun, etc., to do it together.

Wang Chonggu wants to be in the position, he is the second assistant is the top building of the official election official; Wang Chonggu wants power, and Zhu Yijun can make him a second assistant, and his power is monstrous; Wang Chonggu wanted to leave a name in history, and Zhu Yijun used imperial power to support what he did and realize his seemingly deviant claims.

But only Zhu Yijun will not give Zhang Juzheng's life.

In the past few days when Zhang Juzheng saw a doctor, Zhu Yijun did not enter the Quanchu Hall, but came over every day to inquire, and it was not until seven days later, after Zhang Juzheng had fully recovered, that Zhu Yijun stepped through the door of the Quanchu Hall and walked in.

"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng's mood is quite complicated, not because of embarrassment, he has lived to this age, and he is very clear that although the position of treatment is quite indecent, but life is more important, his complicated mood is mainly due to the practice of His Majesty in just seven days.

In the story of Cheng Men Lixue, Yang Shi and You Xing want to meet Cheng Yi, the Confucian master of 'Zhu Cheng Lixue', because Cheng Yi is resting, Yang Shi and You Xing have been waiting outside the door, the sky is snowing heavily, more than a foot thick, Cheng Yi woke up, this story, shows Yang Shi and You Xing's sincerity in studying, respect for learning, and respect for teachers, and Cheng Yi is also endowed with extremely high value in this story, he is worthy of waiting for as a great Confucian.

After the change of Tumubao, he also attacked the Beijing division first, and was repelled by Yu Qian, Shi Heng, Fan Guang and others to organize military resistance outside the Beijing Division, Jingtai three years, Yu Qian's phlegm disease became more and more serious, so heavy that he had vagus neuralgia, and he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and coughed repeatedly, Emperor Jing Zhu Qiyu knew that Yu Qian's phlegm disease needed fresh bamboo, and at that time, the entire Beijing Division, only Long Live Mountain had fresh bamboo, Zhu Qiyu personally went to Jingshan as the emperor, and personally cut down the bamboo and took the drain.

In this story, it is the corporal of Emperor Jing Zhu Qiyu, and it is also given value to Yu Qian, Yu Qian repelled the Wara people, welcomed back Ming Yingzong, and maintained the stability of the empire and the survival of the community, in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, Emperor Huai of the Jin Dynasty and Emperor Jin Shu were captured, and the Western Jin Dynasty perished, and Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were captured at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished, but the Ming Dynasty, when the emperor was captured, he still repelled the enemy and asked the captured emperor back.

Yu Qian really deserves to be given such a value, because what he did was the only time in the long history of the Central Plains.

Zhang Juzheng asked himself, is he worth waiting for the emperor in front of the door for seven days? Does he deserve such value from His Majesty? Zhang Juzheng just felt that he had done what he should do as the first assistant, and His Majesty called out Mr. Yuanfu one by one, he had just done his duty all these years.

The supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty, survived the difficulties of the lord and the country, and finally became the real emperor of the empire, His Majesty, who has 100,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp, has made decisive choices in repeated contradictions and conflicts, and has long been unable to help him move forward as the first assistant, at this time, Zhang Juzheng has instead become a stumbling block for His Majesty to knead the Ming into his own shape.

On the matter of Qi Jiguang's canonization, Zhang Juzheng opposed it twice, His Majesty debated but even played a scoundrel, Zhang Juzheng felt that he had become a stumbling block, he was a conservative in his bones, and most of his line revolved around imperial power, and he was a serious royalist.

Objectively speaking, Zhang Juzheng thinks that he has only done some small work that he should do.

Therefore, when Zhang Juzheng knew that the supreme Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would come to the door of the Quanchu Hall every day and carefully inquire about the condition, recovery, water and food, subordinates, etc., he would only leave after recovering this morning, Zhang Juzheng only knew from You Qi's mouth.

It shouldn't be!

This is Zhang Juzheng's first reaction after learning about it, according to historical experience, at this time, he should die, even Yang Shiqi was kicked away by Ming Yingzong after he grew up.

"Excuse me, sir." Zhu Yijun didn't know that Zhang Juzheng's heart was so turbulent, an old monster like Zhang Juzheng was no longer a happy teenager, but Zhu Yijun showed a sunny smile, like a child, just like at the beginning, but from a big boy to a big husband.

Zhu Yijun circled around Zhang Juzheng, turned his head to Zhang Hong and said, "Okay, well, tell me to go down and eat at the Quanchu Hall today." ”

Zhang Juzheng has been having a twilight after he got sick, although he didn't say it, but Zhu Yijun could feel that now the twilight has faded, and he has become a handsome old man again, and even has a little vitality, I have to say that God gave Zhang Juzheng great talent and appearance, when he was young, he must be suave.

can continue to work hard for Daming again, and Zhu Yijun can continue his unorthodox work again.

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di is actually quite unprofessional, six years after Yongle, Zhu Di is either in the Northern Expedition or preparing for the Northern Expedition.

"Your Majesty, Wang Cifu has arrived." A small yellow door bowed its head.

"Xuan."

Zhu Yijun likes the pattern of the Quanchu Hall very much, his West Garden is built in imitation of the Quanchu Hall, the front yard Wenchang Pavilion office, the backyard is the home of life, when he was ten years old, he ran to the Quanchu Hall and turned around, that time it was the death of Ti Shuai Zhu Xizhong, please Qi Jiguang to return to Beijing to preside, Zhu Yijun took the suicide note with blood, found Zhang Juzheng, and forced Zhang Juzheng to completely let Qi Shuai free.

At that time, Qi Shuai was subordinate to Zhang Juzheng's disciples, and a lackey under the door exhausted Qi Jiguang's hot and pure love for the Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains, and China.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Wang Chonggu came to congratulate Zhang Juzheng on his recovery, and he didn't come empty-handed, he brought a pair of calligraphy and paintings, and also brought Wang Qian over.

During Zhang Juzheng's illness, it was inconvenient for Wang Chonggu to come here, in case Zhang Juzheng really had a problem when he saw a doctor, Wang Chonggu's visit was a lever to be attacked.

"No courtesy." Zhu Yijun met Wang Chonggu in Wenchang Pavilion, it was still very early before the time to eat, and everyone was talking in the study.

Except for Wang Chonggu, no one else is qualified to come to congratulate now, and only tomorrow they can come to meet and congratulate.

The emperor, the first assistant, and the second assistant gathered together at this time to divide the interests, Qi Jiguang had just won the bansheng and advanced towards the Hetao, and the distribution of interests in the Hetao was the highlight of the next party struggle between the DPRK and China.

Fighting for the sake of the struggle, but the party struggle should not become the party's struggle, fighting but not breaking, and developing one after another in the contradictions, which is the current situation in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Juzheng had just recovered, and he began to continue to operate for the empire.

"During the period when Yuanfu was seeing a doctor, our Jingshi can be said to be calm, even the teahouse, they are all talking to each other, and they don't dare to speak loudly, but when they come to the Quanchu Hall today, the street is lively again." Wang Chonggu began to ramble, and before getting into the topic of the talks, he needed to greet him.

Wang Chonggu was envious, envious of Zhang Juzheng's saint who was higher than the sky, and Wen Zhang Wuqi was His Majesty's golden mouth.

Your Majesty said so, and did so, during the period when Zhang Juzheng was seeing a doctor, His Majesty the Emperor transferred the remaining 20,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp into the city, and His Majesty's sparring partners who practiced martial arts were all placed in important places, especially the protection of the Quanchu Guild Hall, which was truly impregnable.

His Majesty's choice of this time to see Zhang Juzheng was deliberate, Qi Jiguang's Jieyin was introduced to Beijing, when Altan Khan and other captives entered Beijing, Qi Jiguang's prestige was intuitively reflected in front of everyone in Jingtang, Zhang Juzheng began to operate, His Majesty used Qi Jiguang's prestige to suppress the ambitions of those careerists in the court.

Wang Chonggu has no doubt that His Majesty will kill people, and even he, Wang Chonggu, is on the list, ranking very, very high.

The calm of the Jingshi is the result of several years of new policies, and the Jingtang has been built into His Majesty's Yiyan Hall by Zhang Juzheng, and His Majesty can be arbitrary in many major decisions.

Zhu Yijun suspected that in the original history, Zhang Juzheng's death was a conspiracy.

Daming surgery, far less backward than imagined, Chen Shigong as a surgical saint, extraordinary achievements, he can even do appendicitis surgery, and even on the tumor is the withering disease, Chen Shigong is not a lone seedling in the desert, is an outstanding figure among countless surgeons.

In the original history, the surgeon who treated Zhang Juzheng was named Zhao Yu, who was the doctor in Xu Jie's mansion, and when the matter was connected with Xu Jie, Zhu Yijun felt that it was not a conspiracy but a conspiracy.

Chen Shigong has a kind of medicine, called withered hemorrhoids, seven or eight days of medicine, you can wither hemorrhoids, conditioning more than ten days can be normal, there is a more strong medicine, is a kind of medicine strip, is a folk medicine made of arsenic, after stuffing, hemorrhoids can also wither, arsenic this kind of thing, a small amount can fight insects, a large amount is highly toxic.

It is completely different when the medication is used and when the surgery is done.

Zhu Yijun suspected that Zhao Yu, a doctor from Xu Jie's mansion, used a strong drug, which was a strip made of arsenic.

Zhu Yijun put on such a posture in Jingtang, which is to show an attitude, if you want to make trouble, my knife is not disadvantaged!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and thanked him, he was now very sure that his new policy would not dissipate with his death, and the curse of human death and government would really not be fulfilled in him, His Majesty had supreme power and knew how to use this supreme power.

succeeded, Zhang Juzheng knew that he had succeeded, Mingjun could not be cultivated, His Majesty was wise and natural, coupled with his careful education, Daming finally looked forward to Mingjun.

"The distance between the naturalization city and the city of Bansheng is only twenty miles, this time the city of Bansheng is broken, Qi Shuai said that the combination of the city of Bansheng and naturalization will be a city, named the city of naturalization, Xuanfu, Daqingshan, Jining, Guanshan, the construction and leveling of the official road post road of naturalization, the Ministry of Industry has been prepared for construction, and from Datong Mansion, Datong Right Guard, Dongshengwei, and the official road post road of naturalization, it has also begun to draw and measure." Zhu Yijun talked about today's theme - sharing spoils.

Wang Chonggu immediately spoke: "What the court is currently arguing about is whether Jingxuanchi Road should be repaired all the way to naturalization, or even to the Hetao, the more radical ones think that it should be repaired to the Hetao, and the conservative ones think that the official road post road is enough. ”

This is the first assistant, whoever loves to be it, and it is not appropriate to give him Wang Chonggu! Zhang Juzheng has been absent from the court for seven days, and the courtiers have quarreled over this matter! The noisy Wang Chonggu had a big head.

"The problem is money." After a little thought, Zhang Juzheng understood why there was such an argument.

The money is not enough, the Ming Dynasty now earns a lot, and spends a lot of money, only the military expenditure is 11 million silver every year, plus the world's hundreds of officials, clan relatives are 6.8 million silver, and the Ming Dynasty only earns 22 million silver a year, this kind of large investment in infrastructure construction is also a huge burden for the imperial court.

"What does the military department say?" Zhang Juzheng asked Zeng Xingwu's opinion.

"Zeng Shangshu said that this is too expensive to repair, but if you don't repair it, isn't it in vain? First repair the official road post road, wait for the Jingxuan and Jingliao Chi Road to be repaired, and then repair the official road post road to the gallop road, knock it down, naturally it must be guarded, and there is a gallop road can be guarded. Wang Chonggu explained Xia Zeng's rhetoric.

Zeng Xingwu, a conservative, was a bit strange, and he also felt that it was too expensive, so he did not recommend repairing it immediately, but waited for the other two gallops to be completed, and then it was not too late to start construction.

"I said to the household department that I borrowed a sum of money from the people at an annual interest rate of 5%, Da Situ Wang Guoguang and Shao Situ Zhang Xueyan, that is called a bold and reckless person, and I slapped the table and said strange things such as Yin eating grain and what the majesty of the court is." Zhu Yijun sighed, Wang Guoguang is good anywhere, but once it comes to money, he cares about it, he just refuses to pay interest, and the majesty of the court is secondary.

The state-owned domestic funds borrow money from the private sector, and then use it for development, and development brings enough tax growth, and the loan is returned, which will form a cycle of development, not tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and eating grain is an embezzlement without any growth point, and this kind of national debt to promote development will have an increase in taxes.

Wang Guoguang is actually very right, from the perspective of system design, how to look at how appropriate it is to borrow money, invest, and increase taxes after development, and repay money, but in fact, it is not suitable at all, and once it is put into practice and actually implemented, it will definitely become a nest of corruption.

Wang Guoguang knows the officials of the Ming Dynasty too well, and the soldiers dare to embezzle the food and salary of the Ming Dynasty, and this silver is a hand of oil in his hand.

"What do you think, sir?" Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng's opinion.

"The minister thought that he could borrow money to build the road, but the annual interest rate of 5% is too high, 3% is enough, if it is really not on it, they will pledge it, if it is corrupt, it can actually be used as a means of eliminating it, Daming lacks everything, but there is no shortage of people who are officials, Hai Zongxian is in the court, and he catches one and disposes of one." Zhang Juzheng calmly expounded his thoughts.

Wang Chonggu glanced at Zhang Juzheng with palpitations, this is the ruthless Zhang Juzheng, whoever is beaten knows that it hurts, Wang Chonggu was beaten like this.

Yin Zhengmao's demolition of the door and moving the bed and Ling Yunyi's raiding of the house were all learned from Zhang Juzheng, look at what he said, if he doesn't pay it, it will be regarded as a pledge, and corruption is just used to clean up.

"I'll definitely be able to pay it back." Zhu Yijun is very sure of this, the Ming Dynasty's financial growth rate is very fast, and the Hetao is not a barren land like the desert Gobi Desert, there is still a lot of benefits, he looked at Wang Chonggu and said: "The Hetao area still needs to raise sheep for the time being, but from grazing to captivity, pasture to planting pasture, just the wool business is enough." ”

"Xu Zhenming, the Baoqi Division, has already gone to Naturalization City, and he plans to promote the cultivation of pasture grass in Naturalization City and Hetao."

The grazing of the grassland is completely up to God's will, and the Ming Dynasty wants to build a fixed pasture and raise livestock in captivity, and the output will grow at an extremely terrible rate, which is completely predictable, otherwise Altan Khan will not build a city, after the establishment of the city, animal husbandry will also change from extensive stocking, to a fixed harvest of farming.

"If you really need to borrow money, on the Jin side, the minister's words are still very effective." Wang Chonggu said immediately.

The income dividends of the woolen official factory were changed to 10,000 taels per year for the Wang family, but it does not mean that the Jin Party and Jin Merchants are unprofitable, in fact, the source of the industrial chain to the supply and distribution are still the basic plate of the Jin Party and Jin Merchants, and continue to do wool business, which is regarded as a piece of cake harvested this time and handed over to the Jin Party.

That Daming borrowed money from the people, and even had interest, and it was time for the Jin Party and Jin Merchants to perform.

"Sir, I'll leave the rest to Sir." Zhu Yijun cut a piece of the cake of the wool business for the Jin Party, and this is it, and the rest of the personnel, agriculture, cities, guards, etc., have nothing to do with the Jin Party.

The wool business is the most profitable, this cake is not small, if the Jin people are too greedy, not only want money, but also military, political, cultural and educational, at this time the northern captives have been solved, Zhu Yijun does not mind further cleaning up the Jin party.

"Obey." Zhang Juzheng waited for Wang Chonggu's reaction, and found that Wang Chonggu had no objection and chose to lead the order.

"The Marquis of Duntai has heard that the Warat people who have recently been entrenched in Horin are preparing to go west, and after the Warat Taishi also died in the internal strife, the two sons of the first have already gone west, and now the Warat people are planning to leave completely, and their choice, I feel a little abrupt." Zhu Yijun talked about the choice of the Warat people in this battle.

Not only did the Warat people not go south to help Altan Khan, but they even directly bypassed the intermediate links and went directly west, which surprised Zhu Yijun.

"It's not strange Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is not easy to mess with, and the Western Regions is easy to bully." Zhang Juzheng said with great conviction.

The people of the Western Regions are easy to bully, this is the historical experience, and it is also the path dependence of the grassland people, when Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, there was a large country in the Western Regions, the Maiye Dynasty was also called the Great Food Country, and it was also the second foreign expansion of the Arab world.

At that time, Tang Xuanzong ordered Sulu, the leader of the Tuqi Shi Division, to restrain the expansion of the Maiye Dynasty, and in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, the Tuqi Shi Department was a more capable tribe under the Western Turkic Khanate, and in the Tang Dynasty's view, the Western Turks were not to be worried, let alone the Tuqi Shi Department.

The conflict lasted for more than a decade, when Khorasan, the largest province of the Great Food Country, was almost defeated by the Turgish, and the caliph was forced to move troops from India and the Caucasus.

The war with the Turgish tribe directly led to the shaking of the rule of the unstoppable Mayyad dynasty.

At that time, the Maiye Dynasty conquered the whole of India with only 6,000 people, and 7,000 people fought directly from Tunisia to southern Gaul, until it was stopped by France, and the Maiye Dynasty only used 25,000 men to defeat the invincible Eastern Rome.

In the eyes of the Central Plains, the Turkish tribe is definitely not a strong country, and Sulu, the leader of the Turkish tribe, thinks that he can hold the caliph to fight, why should he listen to your orders from the Tang Dynasty? He floated, he rebelled, united with Tubo to attack the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, and was severely taught a lesson by the Tang army, and he lost.

Soon, Sulu was killed by his men.

Once the war machine in the Central Plains was mobilized, westward expansion was the best way for the steppe people entrenched in the north.

The Central Plains is not easy to mess with, and the Western Regions is easy to bully.

The third lady said to his entourage, the current Ming army is too much like the Ming army, everything is back, after the Ming army eats the Hetao, the plan will not be satisfied, Yongqing Desert, attack and forest, with offense instead of defense, it has become an inevitability, Warat people choose to escape, it is really expected.

The Warat people are not brain-dead, waiting for you to use them for military exploits.

"Asari has something to do recently, and it's very disturbing." Zhu Yijun leaned back in his chair, his face anxious.

Wang Chonggu was unwilling, but he could only speak: "Recently, the Songjiang Mansion Maritime Academy is preparing to expand its enrollment, from the original 200 people per year, to 500 people, the imperial court decided to do so, and it is not for nothing, but there was some chaos, I also thought of a lot of ways, and finally it was to the Wenhua Palace." ”

"What's going on?" Zhang Juzheng left the court for seven days, not seven years, the bridgehead of the Ming Dynasty, the maritime academy actually had a mess, it really made Zhang Juzheng particularly surprised, Wang Chonggu's means, Zhang Ju knew it, Wang Chonggu couldn't handle it?

"It's not Wang Cifu's territory, Wang Cifu is not easy to do." Zhu Yijun said the main difficulty, not that Wang Chonggu can't do it, but that Wang Chonggu is inconvenient.

The governor of Songjiang is Shen Shixing, Shen Shixing is Zhang Dang is also the imperial party, the recent progress of the Youlong and Feiyun makes the emperor very satisfied, Shen Shixing's personality is relatively mild, he prefers and thin mud.

There was a mess in the Maritime Academy, Wang Chonggu's hand couldn't reach in, if Zhang Juzheng was gone, Wang Chonggu could still interfere brutally, Zhang Juzheng was just sick, and Wang Chonggu couldn't do much.

"Tell me about it." Zhang Ju's face was solemn.

The Ming Dynasty is in full swing, the annual production capacity of the five-masted ship exceeds seventy, and the production capacity of the three-masted plywood ship is like a dumpling, with the increase of ships, the demand for boat divisions has increased suddenly, the Ming Dynasty can only train two hundred boat divisions a year, which has been unable to meet the needs of the Ming sea trade, and the imperial court decided to expand the recruitment, increasing from two hundred to five hundred.

This caused great dissatisfaction among the boat masters, the number of boat divisions so skyrocketed, it was bound to affect their status and income, the Ming Zhou divisions generally earned between twenty and thirty silver a year, and the dissatisfaction of the boat divisions soon resonated with all the boat divisions, who refused to get on the boat, and used silence to resist the decree of the imperial court.

The wages of boatmen are rising rapidly at a rate of more than 10% per year, because this is a rare talent, who can read the star map, calculate the latitude and longitude, and even judge the weather and guide the fleet.

There are few people who grab jobs, there are many needs, and the wages are naturally high, and the expansion order of the Ming Dynasty obviously affects their vital interests.

Shen Shixing plans to talk to these boat masters, but there is no result yet.

"It's really very tricky, you must need a boatmaster to go to sea, otherwise you will inevitably get lost, you can't go anywhere, you can't move, and you can't use tough means, otherwise these boatmen will lead the merchant ships to the thieves' den if they cooperate with the pirates, but it is imperative to expand the recruitment, otherwise the ships built by the Ming Dynasty can only be parked on the port berths and rot quietly." Zhang Juzheng understood the cause and effect of the development of things.

The essence of the problem is the problem brought about by the rapid development of Daming sea trade.

"What are the demands of the boatmen?" Zhang Juzheng asked with a frown.

Wang Chonggu spat out and said: "Stop the decree of expanding recruitment, keep it as it is, two hundred boatmasters per year is enough, not every boat needs a boatmaster, it is not easy to train boatmasters, you must be proficient in arithmetic, you must be an astronomical student, and you must understand the wind and the rain." ”

Zhang Juzheng immediately asked: "The Maritime Academy ate one million silver from the two brothers Sun Kehong and Sun Keyi of the Songjiang Sun family, they are indeed donations, is this matter related to Sun Kehong and Sun Keyi?" ”

It is not uncommon to walk and walk apart, although the Daming Maritime Academy is an official office, it is true that it has received a donation of more than one million silver from the Sun family.

Zhang Juzheng is always vigilant against the powerful and right, and people's hearts will change.

Wang Chonggu shook his head and said: "It is Sun Kehong who proposes to expand the recruitment, mainly for the development of the Yuanxu Islands, the Yuanxu Islands are actually very far away, and the boatmen are needed to lead the stars across the ocean, and the number of ships is enough, but the number of boats has a tendency to be lacking, how crazy is Sun Kehong, so he secretly made trouble after such a proposal?" ”

Tempting on the brink of death is indeed very exciting, but it is really going to die.

"I see." Zhang Juzheng looked at His Majesty and asked in a low voice, "What does Your Majesty think?" ”

"I still have to ask the contradiction to speak out and analyze the fundamental contradiction." Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said: "To find the fundamental contradiction, the fundamental contradiction is not the contradiction between the Zhoushi's opposition to the expansion of recruitment and the increase in demand, but the direct interference of the imperial court in maritime trade matters. ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng said quite earnestly.
