Before Hong Jinglai finished speaking, Min Jingyue stopped moving!

"Wufeng! This is inappropriate!"

At best, Min Jinghye had some concerns about cracking down on the Beijing business group. Li Shangxian and Cao Yunda came to discuss with Hong Jinglai in person, but no one spoke out against it.

Even Cao Yun, who took the initiative to speak, mostly just discussed whether the Beijing business group could guarantee certain privileges and not just beat him to death with a stick. That would be ugly and prone to trouble. He is an old bureaucrat. No matter what he does, he just wants to do it. A smooth landing and a golden mean.

Merchants, even the huge Beijing merchant group, are just an insignificant thing in the eyes of these two classes of scholar-bureaucrats from the Beijing gentry. Of course, except for the Beijing gentry themselves, no one else can catch the eye of the Eight Dao of Korea. .

And even if the Beijing business group is killed, the new business groups will still have to take shelter under the power of the Beijing gentry. This is the reality of feudal society. Without collusion between officials and businessmen, there is no way for the business group to survive. Then it is nothing more than giving away money. The people have changed from the Beijing Business Group to the Bay Business Group, to the Lai Business Group. For the big men of the Beijing gentry, the change is almost zero.

So when Min Kyung heard that Hong Kyung had come, he was determined to do it, and he was actually willing to support the construction of the Jemulpo Canal. He turned around and sold the Beijing merchant who had just stuffed him with 20,000 taels without any psychological burden at all. .

But when it came to the imperial examination, Min Jinghye's reaction was huge!

As long as you live, you will never be able to earn enough money in this life! But to be a Jinshi and to be the top scholar is the honor of the noble family in Beijing, and it is almost as forbidden!

In the special examination of Xinyouke that Hong Jinglai participated in that year, the children of the Andong Jin family and the Pan Nanpu family passed the exam in large numbers, occupying almost all the places, but the court did not reveal much dissatisfaction.

This is the privilege of the family that stands at the top after the fierce competition between the party and the government. Like Hong Jinglai, even if the thirty-three Jinshi of Enke this time are all surnamed Hong, the gentry in Beijing can at best force them behind their backs. Two sentences, but there won't be much conflict.

After all, the meat is rotten in the pot, and the Fengshan Hong family is also a member of the Jinghua gentry. It is only natural that among the Jinghua gentry, others will have to wait for the next one in three years. By then, everyone in the Hong family will have made arrangements, and they will have to worry about Jinghua. You must have felt like other members of the gentry clan. I’ll give you two places and give him three.

Helping Hong Jinglai to try to persuade the other two classes to quit in this department, Min Jinghye was also willing to be this evil person. Anyway, there was nothing embarrassing about giving up his old face to help his son-in-law.

But Hong Jinglai shouldn't really give up the Jinshi quota to good people!

In Min Jingyou's eyes, they are nothing more than bastards and humanoid creatures. Why are they qualified to come out to seize the quota of the Jinghua gentry? This touches on the fundamental bottom line and interests of the Jinghua gentry.

Min Jinghuo could not agree, and all the nobles in Beijing, whether they supported Hong Jinglai or opposed Hong Jinglai, would not agree. They would not sit back and watch this happen, and would erupt into opposition ten times and a hundred times more than the current construction of the canal.

"Sir, you don't want to help me?" Hong Jinglai knew that the nobles in Beijing would object, but he still wanted to do it.

"This is for your own good!" Min Jingyou said this from the bottom of his heart.

You can't just push all the nobles in Beijing to oppose you as soon as you come to power! This is not asking for death!

……………………

Jeolla Province, Jeongeup.

In the small town, a notice was posted at the market entrance. A soldier from Hong Jinglai's Chinese army beat the gong and asked the people in the town to come and read the notice.

This rural town, a hundred and fifty miles away from Jeonju, Jeolla Province, didn't even know that the new king of Hanyang had been established and Li Hui had fallen.

There are no big gentry families in the city. As we all know, during the Japanese Rebellion 200 years ago, the Japanese pirates carried out large-scale massacres and destruction in southern Korea. Many gentry in the countryside were killed and their entire clan was killed. Jeong-eup is

The earthen city built to defend against Japanese pirates was only 1,600 meters long and had a population of no more than 2,000. Except for the chief executive of Jingyi, who was not in the city at all, there were no serious officials.

The soldiers read the notice loudly. In addition to the fact that the new king has been established, the most important thing to inform is that the Enke Special Examination will be held. It reiterates that all good people, middle-class people and local officials can take the exam.

The people who were watching shook their heads after hearing this. They didn't know a word of Chinese characters. Even if they were good citizens who could take the exam, it was impossible for them to pass it.

Seeing that the response from the people was almost zero, the soldier continued to announce loudly that this time he would not try Enke, and there was no need for two shifts of bail. All he had to do was bring the list of the Fourth Patriarch to the Hanyang Li Cao to register.

The two-class guarantee is the most powerful weapon used by the two classes to monopolize the power of the imperial examination and exclude good people from the official examination. As long as there are no two-class guarantee, even if you are a talented and good citizen, you can speak well and succeed in seven steps.

Shi, egg is useless, you are not qualified to participate in the imperial examination.

But this time it's different. You only need to take out the list of the four ancestors and prove that you are a good citizen or above. You no longer need to be choked by the two masters.

A young man carrying firewood in the crowd brightened up. He was just an ordinary good citizen, but when he was young, he was signed to work as a servant for ten years with a young master in Changcheng County.

Although he worked as a cow and a horse for others, and even really stepped on the horse and helped the young master mount the horse, this young man still had the opportunity to listen to classics for ten years in the corridor of the best academy in the state.

The young master has to take care of everything, even dressing and tying his belt. Naturally, he cannot do without his servants. The other servants chatted and dozed while the young master was in class, but this young man listened eagerly to Mr.

He preached and received his vocation. He also picked up the bald pens and papers that the young master did not want, observed and studied by himself, and copied scriptures.

The young man's name is Chen Yaozu. From this name, you can tell that he does not belong to a clan. This is indeed the case. His father died early at home, and the mother and son depended on each other and had to take care of their older siblings. Life was very difficult.

"Please give way, please give way. Sir! Sir! Do you really not want two classes for the undergraduate examination?" Chen Yaozu raised his neck and stared at the soldier on the horse.

"Yes! Our General Hong said that we should recruit talents from all over the world, regardless of their origins, only based on their knowledge!" The soldiers were slaves liberated by Hong Jinglai. They were brainless fans of Hong Jinglai and admired Hong Jinglai infinitely.

"Can the younger one also take the exam? Sir!"

"You are a good citizen!"

"The young are good people, the young are good people!" After saying this, Chen Yaozu took out the wooden household sign of "good people" from his arms.
