Chapter 1275 It's King Rui!
"I'll leave it to you two to learn on your own." Lou Mingyue said: "It would be arrogant for Da Kun to dare to compete with Dongyue now, but it is more than enough to protect himself. If the prince comes here for business, everything can be easily discussed. "
Lou Mingyue seemed to have become Qin Feng's spokesperson, but Qin Qi suddenly said: "Master, when can the emperor's brother leave the palace?"
"Do you miss your emperor brother, or do you miss your queen sister-in-law?" Lou Mingyue asked knowingly: "If you miss them, you can enter the palace to see them immediately. You are also a little prince now."
Qin Qi smiled, but shook his head. Compared with the prince, he preferred to stay with his master to study ships and transform the life of ships. Applying steam engines to ships was the greatest achievement he and his master had recently achieved.
King Rui was lost in thought, and the meal in the second half of the trip was not very good. Shen Hai was also worried. When the group of people separated, Chen Hai asked directly: "Master, does he know when your Majesty will summon us?"
"Well, we should wait. As far as I know, your Majesty has very important things to do recently." Lou Mingyue said seriously: "Your Majesty always says first things come first, I'm afraid the things you are waiting for will have to be postponed later. Good food and drinks are waiting for me recently.”
Prince Rui felt that Lou Mingyue had something in his words, but he couldn't figure out the secret, so he had to give up.
In the next half month, the two of them still didn't see Qin Feng, and even Xiao Lingyao also lost trace. However, they saw a list in the city. It took some time after the list was posted, and the red color faded a lot.
King Rui was stunned when he saw this unique list. It directly stated the official position and the name of the admitted person, as well as the examination number. What kind of list was this? It was clearly an admission notice list!
Who was the candidate and who was finally admitted? It was so simple and clear. Only then did King Rui ask the people about the origin of this list. He knew what the national examination was, what the written test was, and what interviews were. This method was completely different from that in East Vietnam. It was the best way to select talents. direct.
The guards following the two of them kept exchanging glances, secretly thinking that they could report to Emperor Yuan this time, so that they wouldn't be like last time, where they didn't understand anything and even lost Guo Shitong. The board they hit before could still feel the pain.
"Quickly, ruthlessly and accurately, quickly select talents for the court." King Rui murmured: "No matter your origin, there is no such thing as aristocratic family. Here, as long as you have the ability, you can rise to the top."
The common people standing on one side did not know their origins and said carelessly: "How can there be any aristocratic family? There are no relatives of the emperor here. Our Queen Mother is still doing business. It was the Queen Mother who first led the people. People run for a living.”
"By the way, our Majesty's uncle is just an uncle in name, so he has to make a living on his own. His Majesty's relatives made trouble before, so they directly took advantage of His Majesty's punishment, and they have been honest since then."
"If they dare to cause trouble here, and the people dare to report them, the emperor will be guilty of the same crime as the people if he breaks the law. This is what our Majesty has said personally. He will not condone the people around him, relatives and friends. He will be rewarded for his actions and punished for those who do not!"
King Rui was frothing at the mouth when he heard what they said, and his heart moved: "The Queen Mother is still engaged in business?"
"The Liu family was originally a merchant. The Queen Mother didn't want to be confined to the palace, so she didn't live in the palace. She had a mansion outside the palace. By the way, she is still the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and all the merchants are under her management. They formed a rope, and the vice-president’s name is Feng Bao.”
"This Feng Bao was a former personal attendant of His Majesty. Although he did not hold an official position, he still had status, married a family, and had a daughter-in-law. He was able to get ahead." This person mentioned Feng Bao with some envy.
King Rui felt excited when he heard that Liu Yuan did not live in the palace, but outside the palace!
He then felt depressed for a while, so what if he lived outside the palace, he had never met Liu Yuan for so many days. When he thought of Liu Yuan, King Rui felt a little sad, and now they were even more on opposite sides.
Seeing that King Rui was distracted, Shen Hai reminded: "Your Majesty, shall we go somewhere else?"
Just as the group was about to leave, a team of carriages and horses came over. They saw that the carriages were heavily loaded and tightly tied up. There were also a few particularly heavily loaded carriages without horses. They heard the sound of machinery and heavy objects being dragged. Move forward.
They had seen a steam engine before, so they knew that this carriage was driven by a steam engine. They had never seen a ship equipped with a steam engine. They were also surprised to see such a carriage without horses, and they were stunned in public.
"Brother, what are these carriages transporting, and where are they going?" Shen Hai asked the people on the side as he pulled them.
The people looked at them, as if they had just realized that they were not Kun people: "You don't know that these materials were transported to build a new city. Now that there are more and more people, the capital cannot accommodate it, so it must develop to the surrounding areas." chant."
"The new city is divided into four counties, and they all have to be built. I didn't see any official positions in the new counties on the list. I heard that these officials will first do internships in the capital to learn how to handle public affairs. After the new city is completed, they will Working abroad."
What these people don't know is the cadre training system implemented by Qin Feng. They first train and practice in basic positions, accumulate experience, and then throw them into the positions, and then get started directly.
This time they were shocked again. Not to mention King Rui and Shen Hai, the guards remembered everything they heard. However, Shen Hai murmured: "Are there already so many people in Kun?"
King Rui was startled, patted his head and thought, that's right. Although there have been new babies born in the past few years, they are not unable to accommodate them. The number of people has increased so much that new cities need to be built. How can it be done?
They came by water. The information they had received before was that Kun was close to the sea and the southwest sea. However, they never thought that there was a land route to the southwest, and they had no way of knowing that countless people in the southwest had taken refuge. Don't know the key to it.
Seeing that special convoy leaving, and just as they were about to leave, another carriage came from one end of the road. The carriage passed them by. King Rui felt strange. He always felt that someone in the carriage was staring at him and turned his head. In the past tense, the carriage has gone far.
"Woo, woo, woo..." In the carriage, Shen Zhantian, whose mouth was gagged and his hands were tied, flashed through the blown-dried curtains and Prince Rui's astonished face. He looked out of the carriage unwillingly. , the throat is almost spitting fire!
An acquaintance, it’s King Rui, it’s King Rui!
Prince, look here, look here, Shen Zhantian roared in his heart, his eyes were bloodshot, but he could only watch helplessly as Prince Rui's face disappeared the moment the curtain was opened, the wheels of the carriage rolled, crushing his expectations. !
Chapter completed!
