The corners of Zhu Yunwen's mouth rose, and he said with a straight face: "Mr. Huang, don't say that, in the entire Ming Dynasty, Mr. Huang is the most loyal courtier to Gu, if Gu can't even protect Mr. Huang, how can we let other officials be loyal to Gu!" ”

"His Royal Highness Taisun loves his subordinates so much, the court can see it!"

Huang Zicheng said excitedly: "In the future, there will be more people like Weichen who are loyal to His Royal Highness!" ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded with a happy face, then remembered something, looked at Huang Zicheng, and his eyes were full of expectation.

"Mr. Huang, this time the imperial grandfather actually just scolded Lone! So, can Lone do something more? ”

Hearing this, Huang Zicheng was taken aback and hurriedly persuaded.

"Your Royal Highness, I have just been forgiven by Your Majesty, and we must not anger Your Majesty again!"

"What Mr. Huang said is reasonable!"

Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, but his eyes flickered, but he didn't think like this in his heart.

He was bold this time, withstood Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding, and after saving his companion Huang Zicheng, his heart was like opening a magic box.

Yes, he is the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

And his imperial grandfather, it seems that time is running out.

As long as he doesn't do some big rebellious things, the imperial grandfather will scold him a few words at most, just like today.

I was even reluctant to beat him.

However, he didn't tell Huang Zicheng about this mentality.

By June.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, personally inquired in the Fengtian Palace because of the fraud in the imperial examination.

Subsequently, Han Kezhong was appointed as the champion, Wang Shu was the leader, and Jiao Sheng was the flower.

At the same time, another 58 northern scholars were also admitted as first-class jinshi.

It is also known as the summer list, and it is also the North list!

The southern Shilin gained more than worth the loss, not only lost more than a dozen officials from the south, but also made the northern Shilin directly have sixty-one more jinshi.

……

The Yanwang Mansion was lively again.

After learning that Zhu Yuanzhang had set up another summer list, all the gentry of Beiping Mansion gathered in Beiping Mansion again to express their gratitude to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Among the sixty-one Jinshi in the summer list, there are sixteen of them, who are the scholars from their Beiping Prefecture.

"This time, thanks to His Royal Highness King Yan, otherwise, I would have been severely bullied by those southern scholars!"

"It's extreme, it's extreme!"

"This time, my northern scholars directly came out of sixty-one jinshi, and let those southern officials die dozens directly, which is really happy!"

"Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, those treacherous villains ......"

Talking, talking, these gentry couldn't help but start scolding those southern scholars.

Zhu Di waved his hand again and again, without taking credit at all.

"In this matter, we didn't make much effort, it was all the result of those northern scholars running up and down in Beijing to avenge themselves, plus those northern officials in the DPRK and China, who played and shouted grievances to them!"

A gentry hurriedly said: "Your Highness's words are different, if Your Highness does not play for Your Majesty......"

"That's it!"

Zhu Di said directly and loudly: "If we weren't in Beiping Mansion, then no one would deliberately target those northern scholars like this!" ”

Hearing this, the faces of all the gentry couldn't help but change slightly.

They know who Zhu Di is referring to!

Another chubby gentry hurriedly said: "If it weren't for His Royal Highness King Yan, there would be no academy in Beiping Mansion for us, and there would not be so many great Confucians and classics to teach me and other northern students."

I'm afraid, my northern scholar is even more unbearable......"

As soon as these words came out, the gentry nodded again and again.

"Yes, yes, no matter what, His Royal Highness King Yan is the benefactor of our northern scholars!"

As he spoke, a gentry said his meaning directly.

"Your Royal Highness, we have found out that only His Royal Highness King Yan will treat me and other northern scholars well, I wonder if His Royal Highness still lacks officials in his mansion?"

Suddenly, all the gentry looked at Zhu Di with blank eyes.

"Your Highness, I and the unfilial sons of our family who have been recorded as Jinshi by His Majesty dare not live up to the grace of God.

However, there are still many children in my family who have real talents and learning. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, those children in my family, although they are above the imperial examination writing, do not have much talent.

However, they now all know a lot about water conservancy, craftsmanship, and farming. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, "Huh? You, the children of the gentry, are also willing to bend down and pay attention to these agricultural matters? ”

Hearing this, Guo An on the side couldn't help but light up his eyes, these gentry of Beiping Mansion also opened the book like this?

The gentry couldn't help but laugh all over their faces.

His Royal Highness laughed, since those rebels in the family could not write good articles, they would study water conservancy, craftsmanship and farming, which were related to thousands of people.

In this way, they can serve His Highness. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that those rebels really couldn't endure any suffering, I still want those boys to join the army!"

Hearing that he was in the army, Zhu Di couldn't help but be shocked.

Immediately, he shook his head slightly with a sneer.

Let these children of the gentry who were proud of the princes and nobles in the past study those things of water conservancy, craftsmanship, and cultivation are already enlightened.

As for joining the army, it would be too difficult for them.

However, his current Yanwang Mansion is really lacking in these scholars, and he is also a gentry child who understands water conservancy, craftsmanship and farming.

Thinking about it, Zhu Di said: "In this way, our Yan Wangfu will hold a recruitment exam again, and the number of people is tentatively set at fifty."

If those children in your family really know how to water conservancy, craftsmanship and farming, then our Yan Wangfu will definitely recruit them.

And, send them to Goryeo Yan Kingdom to govern Goryeo Yan Kingdom! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness King Yan!"

"His Royal Highness King Yan is really the Great Ming Xian King!"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, those children in our family will definitely not live up to Your Highness's trust......"

Soon, all the gentry left satisfied.

"What a group of smart people!"

Looking at the group of gentry who left, Zhu Di couldn't help but say with some approval.

Guo An nodded lightly, "Your Highness is a virtuous king, and as the gentry under His Highness, they want to be the first to serve!" ”

Zhu Di looked at Guo An with a strange expression and said, "When did Guo Qing learn to be flattering?" ”

Guo An replied solemnly: "What Wei Chen said is the truth, I really don't know why His Royal Highness misunderstands Wei Chen so much!" ”

"What a truth!"

Zhu Di smiled faintly, "In this case, then Guo Qing will be responsible for this recruitment!" ”

Guo An was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness Mingjian, this kind of thing should be handed over to His Royal Highness the Prince, so that His Royal Highness the Prince can have more experience in handling government affairs, and he can also have more teams." ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di looked at Guo An with some doubts, "What does Guo Qing mean by this?" ”

Guo An hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Beiping Mansion, Goryeo Yan Kingdom, and Wa Kingdom, these three kingdoms are far apart. In the future, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World will inevitably replace His Royal Highness to inspect the Goryeo Yan Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom.

In this way, let His Royal Highness the Prince be more familiar with the situation of the Goryeo Yan Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom, the better! ”

Zhu Di asked again: "Then what is Guo Qing going to do?" ”

"Wechen?"

Guo An was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Weichen is going to stare at the Craftsman Academy and the Medical Hall, and let them study some good things!" ”

Zhu Di nodded subconsciously.

However, it quickly reacted.

"What a Guo thief, have you long been looking forward to the son of the world growing up, and then let the son of the world go around on your behalf.

And yourself, so be lazy! ”

"Your Highness Mingjian!"

Guo An suddenly shouted grievances, "I think that at the beginning, when His Royal Highness was still the age of the prince, he had already begun to become a vassal."

And now, the prince can only stay in the palace of King Yan and have nothing to do.

If this goes on for a long time, no matter how smart His Royal Highness is, he will become lazy! ”

Zhu Di teased, "Is it like Guo Qing?" ”

Guo An's face was serious, "Your Highness is wise!" ”

Zhu Di: "......"

After a while, he nodded slowly.

"The prince is young, so this matter is dominated by the prince, assisted by Guo Qing!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

……

Following.

Before Guo An could go to find Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochi had already found Guo An in a hurry.

"Teacher!"

"I've seen the son!"

Zhu Gaochi saluted respectfully, and then asked: "Teacher, my father asked me to be responsible for recruiting the scribes of the Yan Wangfu, I don't know how this matter is regulated?" ”

Guo Andao: "Can the prince know about the imperial examination? ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, "Teacher, I know about the imperial examination!" ”

Guo An said: "The recruitment of scribes in the Yanwang Mansion is based on the imperial examination. It's just that my Yanwang Mansion recruited scribes, but it was recruited in time according to the lack of the house.

The questions for the exam were also issued by my Yan Wangfu.

As for how to recruit, what are the test questions?

His Highness is the main exam, and it is completely determined by His Highness's wishes! ”

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed in Zhu Gaochi's eyes.

"Please ask the teacher to teach me!"

Guo An was stunned for a moment, and then said; "Your Highness, as the main examiner, you should be assisted by a scribe.

And those scribes are people who have had several previous recruitment experiences.

Let them draw up the constitution, or even the questions, and then have them reviewed by His Highness.

The most important thing is that they should give at least three copies of the questions, and then they will be distributed immediately, so that these scribes and the gentry must not have any chance to cheat! ”

"Thank you for your advice!"

Zhu Gaochi's expression was relieved.

Guo An nodded with great satisfaction.

Soon, Zhu Gaochi went out to find the scribe.

In less than a few days.

The recruitment of scribes in the Yanwang Mansion was in full swing.

Zhu Gaochi was busy all day and couldn't see anyone at all.

In the entire Beiping Mansion, all the gentry and merchants, even the children of the common people's families, also stared at Zhu Gaochi with anticipation.

As for Guo An, he still went to a number of workshops, farms, and medical halls very regularly.

As for the imperial examination, it seems that there is no impact at all.

A few days later.

Zhu Di found Guo An again.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Guo An's face changed greatly,

"Guo Qing, my father ordered the household department to compile a new register of rich people. …… Zhejiang, etc., the nine political departments, and the eighteen prefectures of Yingtian, all the 14,241 households with more than seven hectares of land were registered and registered, and their homes were relocated to the Jingshi. ”

"Your Majesty, is this going to crack down on the local gentry?"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "The rich and powerful bully the poor and the weak, and the small people, which is very harmful to the Ming Dynasty, and my father has begun to suppress these rich and powerful people since he pacified Zhang Shicheng!" ”

Guo An hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I don't know if there are rich people in my Beiping Mansion?" ”

Zhu Di shook his head slowly, "No! ”

Guo An breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!" ”

Zhu Di said again: "However, let's guess that within five years, it will be my turn in Beiping Mansion!" ”

"Five years?"

Guo An was stunned for a moment, with a somewhat strange expression.

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "What is Guo Qing's best plan?" ”
