Zhu Biao nodded after hearing this. No matter what Guo Chong thought, Zhu Biao liked his choice very much. Although he was the number one scholar and had some merits along the way, in Beijing he could only be given a rank of Yuanwai Lang in the sixth grade at most.
But it is enough to be sent out to be a magistrate or a fellow magistrate of a prefecture. After two years, it can be either promoted to a magistrate or admitted to the capital as a doctor. This depends on his status as the number one scholar and Zhu Biaoqin's order, otherwise there will be no
Such a good starting point.
Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "You have guided the new Jinshi all the way. You must have a good idea of what kind of person they are and whether they are capable of doing things. Go back and select fifty outstanding ones and report their names to me."
Guo Chong took the order and left. Zhu Biao looked at his back, thinking that he had seen his ability and looked at this man's magnanimity. Zhu Biao's spies were all in the army. How could they hide anything from him? This new Jinshi
He clearly knows who is the talented person and who is the idiot, and so is the conflict between them.
Since ancient times, literati have looked down on each other, and they have often disliked each other. There was quite a conflict between Guo Chong and Li Jin. Wu Bozong also looked down on Zhang Fan, and the situation below was even more chaotic. However, with Zhu Biao in charge, no one was there yet.
Dare to delay official business.
Zhu Biao didn't care if they fought with each other. It would be a bad thing if these people were as close as brothers. In that case, Zhu Biao would have to put a catfish in it with his own hands to stimulate them.
It doesn't matter if you have different political views or have personal vendettas, but official affairs must be handled properly. If one party makes trouble while the other party is doing things, and opposes for the sake of opposition, Zhu Biao will not allow it.
Liu Jin said from the side: "Sir, it's late at night and you should go back and rest."
Zhu Biao tightened his cloak tightly, turned around and walked into the camp. After washing for a while, he fell asleep. In the next few days, Zhu Biao personally supervised the work. The young man of more than 100,000 people was very fast in everything he did.
After the consolidation was completed, the cultivated land at the entrance of the village was also sorted out.
Zhu Biao left 50,000 young people to open up wasteland, and others went to help build the county town. They said it was a county town, but in fact, they were building larger villages. After this year, the court would send officials to develop the county town. Zhu Biao was just building a county town.
With this foundation, Zhu Xi and Zhu Di are almost here, and they must speed up the construction of a shelter.
Zhu Biao also ordered Fengyang Mansion to warn of labor, and the nearby rivers had to be sorted out, and some of them had to be diverted to irrigate the farmland. The autumn harvest had passed, and the people happened to have nothing to do. I heard that His Royal Highness was here, and the food supply was still available.
If there is salary, everyone comes to sign up.
After all, Fengyang is an imperial township, and the local people are proud of it. They have a high degree of trust in the imperial court and Zhu Biao. After all, he is a township party. Zhu Biao also met some village elders in person. Although he was not from the same village as Zhu Yuanzhang,
After all, he was an elder, and Zhu Biao was not stingy, so he naturally made them happy.
Zhu Biao, an old man in his family who was over sixty years old, sent a sheep, and he even took special care of the village where his father once lived. These things were nothing to Zhu Biao.
One night, Zhu Biao was woken up by Liu Jin. Zhu Biao regained consciousness instantly. He knew that Liu Jin would not easily disturb his rest. Liu Jin helped him sit up and said softly: "Mao Xiang came late at night to see His Highness."
Zhu Biao said: "Ask him to come in. By the way, who is on duty tonight?"
Liu Jin hurriedly said: "It's Prince Chang, he's waiting outside the door now."
"Call everyone in"
Liu Jin hurried out, and Zhu Biao sat on the bed. After a while, Mao Xiang and Chang Mao came in. When they saw Zhu Biao, they hurriedly saluted: "I disturb His Highness's rest late at night, and I will die."
Zhu Biao waved his hand and said, "Okay, why did you come here late at night? Did something happen in the capital?"
Mao Xiang hurriedly replied: "There is nothing going on in the capital. I came here to deliver this thing to His Highness on the orders of the Holy One."
After speaking, Mao Xiang carefully took out a wooden box that Zhu Biao was familiar with from the bag behind him. Mao Xiang raised the wooden box high above his head and knelt on the ground respectfully.
Chang Mao secretly cried out that he was unlucky. This matter was not a trivial matter at first glance. What could be given by the Holy Spirit cannot be fair and aboveboard, yet it actually required Mao Xiang from the Imperial Guard's Mansion to deliver it late at night. However, when he thought about his relationship with His Highness, he felt relieved.
Together with Liu Jin, we lowered our heads and held our breath.
Zhu Biao stepped forward and took the wooden box, turned around and put it on the bed. After opening it, he checked it carefully and confirmed that it was the imperial seal he had seen in his father's study.
The three people behind them all lowered their heads. Chang Mao and Liu Jin didn't know and didn't want to know. As a transporter, Mao Xiang naturally knew what it was, but he didn't dare to take a second look.
Zhu Biao frowned and put it away, looked at Mao Xiang and asked, "How did my father explain it?"
Mao Xiang replied respectfully: "The Holy Father only ordered that you must personally teach it to His Royal Highness, and then obey your instructions."
Zhu Biao also roughly guessed his father's thoughts. Since he obtained the Imperial Seal, he naturally wanted to use it. However, there was a process of obtaining it, and it cannot be said that it was stolen from Yan Shenggong.
It would be fine if the ministers presented it as an auspicious sign, but how to reward such a great achievement? Even being granted the title of Duke is considered too small, and Zhu Yuanzhang would probably be reluctant to part with it. Alternatively, Zhu Yuanzhang could just create an auspicious sign for himself, to show that he is destined to do so.
Zhu Biao originally thought that this was what his father had planned. After all, the low self-esteem hidden deep in his heart could be wiped away with this. For a founding emperor to obtain the jade seal passed down from the first emperor of Qin, it was enough to make the world worship him.
One can question one's origins.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang still chose to hand over this destiny-deserved honor to his prince. Zhu Biao's mood fluctuated again. He was deeply affectionate, so why should he repay it?
………………
In the imperial palace in the capital, the door of the imperial study room opened, and Zhu Yuanzhang stepped out with a swift and powerful stride. The eunuchs and maids at the door knelt down deeply. The emperor who was in charge of the world just ended his official duties for the day.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked at the night sky. The eunuch beside him bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to go to Kunning Palace to rest?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at him without saying a word, and walked towards Qianqing Palace. At this hour, the queen had already fallen asleep. If he had gone, the queen would inevitably be awakened.
As he walked on the road, Zhu Yuanzhang exhaled. Only by finishing all the matters could he feel at ease, otherwise he would be uncontrollably flustered no matter what he did.
Today he received a report that there was another rebellion in the north. Although it was not a big deal, it still bothered him. Why couldn't he live a good life and had to start a rebellion? When would the world be at peace?
After passing through the Imperial Garden, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped next to a tree, smiled, patted the thick trunk and asked: "Do you know what this tree is called?"
The eunuch behind took a step forward and said with a flattering smile: "This is Guo'an, a name given by the Holy One when he and His Royal Highness went to the garden."
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but laugh a few times. He missed his son. This bastard had been away for several months and didn't know how to find time to come back to the capital to take a look. He could just find any excuse, and who would dare to say anything.
