Under the clamor of the common people, a group of literati and scholars had pale faces. They only dared to block the entrance of the Imperial College because of the large number of people.
Now that there were more people surrounding them, and they were all pointing at them, their momentum weakened.
Later, some scholars wanted to come forward, but Zhu Su did not refuse, but still let the common people come up with the questions.
The common people were also enthusiastic, and several people came up with questions one after another to test Tiezhong and this group of literati. However, the questions were not limited to account book arithmetic, some related to agriculture, and some related to solving cases.
It is the most immediate problem that actually exists for the people at the grassroots level.
Zhu Su was ready to wait until Tie Zhong could no longer resist, and then he would replace Fang Xiaoru. Unexpectedly, Tie Zhong had a wide range of interests. Although he was still cautious, he solved the problems raised by the people one by one, steadily.
On the scholar's side, four or five people have been replaced, but no one can answer it. Some people even asked the simplest question of identifying grains. The scholar was also sweating and hemming and hawing, unable to answer.
.
Seeing that these so-called scholars were so virtuous that they could not even distinguish between grains and grains, the common people no longer had the admiration they had at the beginning, and boos broke out among the crowd.
"This... these are all trivial matters, not in the books of sages..." There were still scholars who defended themselves to the crowd.
This time, Zhu Su didn't need to speak, and the disdainful people directly responded to Zhu Su's behalf: "Bah! What a bastard! You can't even tell the difference between wheat and rice, and you still want to take the exam to become an official? You just want to ride on us common people.
Be a master and a blessing!"
"That is, you don't know how to farm or try cases. What do you want to do? Study? Can millet grow from books?"
"Hahahaha, they are at a loss for words!" The people laughed as if they had won a battle. "Yes! These people should be embarrassed!"
"These young people just want to become masters after high school and be supported by the government so that they can continue their romance. How can they keep ordinary people like us in their hearts!"
"Besides, if he was determined to join the Taxation Department, wouldn't he have already registered himself?"
"Brother is a wise man." Zhu Su winked at Zhu Biao, which made Zhu Biao feel a little embarrassed.
The common people's words to each other made them experience the feeling of being surrounded by a group of people, and in the area where scholars are best at talking, they were sprayed to the point of shame.
"The iron clock in your house is very good!" Lao Zhu praised the iron clock again. "Jin Yiwei said that he is not well-known in your house, but he has such a great talent, but he can be calm and do such things.
Things only domestic servants do."
"Okay! Good! If you have such knowledge, you won't be deceived by that civil servant!" Seeing Zhu Biao like this, Lao Zhu was even more happy. He pointed at Zhu Biao and said to Zhu Su: "Look at your brother, isn't he?
Are you more like a Holy Son of Heaven than before?"
"Now that I think about it, where did the Thousand Bells of Millet and the Golden House come from out of thin air? Isn't it earned by the hard work of the common people?"
Seeing that Zhu Su actually disagreed, Lao Zhu was a little unhappy. "If I am a housekeeper in your house, wouldn't I still treat this person as a slave?"
"Such a situation must not happen in the Ming Dynasty! The so-called officials, who do not know practical work and only know how to pass exams and seek wealth, are taking away the income of the people's labor and harming the people!"
"Go directly to the Taxation Department? Isn't that bad?" Hearing that Lao Zhu wanted to recruit people from his own hands, Zhu Su was subconsciously unhappy. "Dad, I also lack talents on hand, the Imperial College, the steel mill,
There are also shipbuilding, artillery, cement and various other matters. How can we do it without a trustworthy housekeeper to take care of it?"
"It's indeed good." Next to Lao Zhu, Zhu Biao also praised him. He turned around and solemnly said to Lao Zhu: "In the past, Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty once encouraged people to learn poetry: 'There is a golden house in a book.
"There are thousands of bells of millet in it," and it is highly praised by scholars."
"It's enough to let me be a cow and a horse, but you also want to steal people from me. You are both a father and an emperor, so you are so embarrassed."
"We all support you!"
"Well done, Fifth Brother! We originally thought that with the way your new student has been arranged these days, it was time for us to step in and help. I never thought that you could still make such a comeback.
!”
"It's not easy to find a suitable one, how can I give it to you so easily."
"Those old literati were not diligent and could not distinguish between grains and grains. Just because they passed the exam, they could live happily ever after and have no worries about food and clothing. This is a bad government that harms the people!"
"We are in short supply of such useful and honest officials now. You must put the court first. Why is this child so insignificant?"
"Haha, thank you very much, folks." Zhu Su bowed his hands towards the crowd. "However, this is all my father's idea, but it is not something I can push forward." He directed this wave of popular sentiment very wisely.
Lao Zhu.
So the people began to praise Lao Zhu again, and some even started to kneel down in the direction of the imperial city.
"What kind of skill is it to take the people's golden houses and thousands of bells of millet? If you can make all the people under your rule live in golden houses and every family can have thousands of bells of millet, then you are considered to be capable!"
The scholars were speechless, unable to even open their mouths, and wanted to grab the ground with their heads. Some people couldn't stand this situation, so they fled out with their sleeves covered, and then the scholars started to fight like a defeated army in a war.
Running away in all directions.
"It shows that this Tiezhong is a talented person!"
The development like this was beyond Zhu Su's expectation. It can only be said that there was too little entertainment life for the people in ancient times. It was rare to encounter such new things, and it was easy to have emotional outbursts. Zhu Su touched his chin, he was already there
We are considering recruiting Luo Guanzhong, who is writing in Suzhou, to come to Beijing and make up a play about this matter. We will first use opera to counter the current public opinion offensive.
"I think your elder brother is more proficient in studying your theory of 'labor is wealth' than you are!"
In the end, it was so dark that a crowd of people knelt down and shouted "Long live the mountain" at the same time. Even the censor patrolling the city was alarmed.
Zhu Su had just dismissed the people who were still unfinished, and saw the two tigers who came to summon him to the palace. As expected, Lao Zhu's royal guards were all-pervasive in Yingtian Mansion. He had just finished his work, and he already knew about it. He had no choice but to follow it.
The two tigers rushed to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit.
By the way, these old-fashioned literati will be completely nailed to the pillar of shame.
"Your Highness, you are right. The scientific examination should test more content that is closely related to our people. We cannot let these high school officials become officials. They are all the material to become corrupt officials!"
"Father, I would like to completely reform our imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty. In future examinations, we should reduce the proportion of Ming Jing and Jing subjects and replace them with more practical examinations."
"Okay! Well done!" Lao Zhu was in great spirits in the palace, feeling quite happy about having a great revenge. "Those literati usually like to gather in groups to organize government affairs. We have long wanted to deal with them.
."
"Those things in my hands are not light!" Ignoring Lao Zhu's suggestion, Zhu Su responded without fear. "To put it bluntly, you didn't force those things into my hands.
"
"What we mean is to reward him with a good background and let him directly join the tax department as a doctor. What do you think?"
Father and son were facing each other, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di shook their heads and laughed. In the end, it was Lao Zhu who was at the disadvantage and decided to take a step back. "That's all, let's declare the iron bell to enter the palace now."
"He did a great job, so we should give him a reward, right?"
As an emperor, can we not be able to steal your son? When it comes to combining kindness and power to win people's hearts, you are still very young! Lao Zhu thought in his heart. As long as he sees this iron bell in person, he will be treated with kindness and courtesy, and he will not have to worry about this.
People do not bow directly to the head but worship.
By then the deal is already done, how could you, the King of Wu, still be able to throw tantrums at us, the Emperor?
