Chapter 302 Guo An goes to war, Zhu Ping returns to Xi'an
Ming Dynasty: Huddled in Beiping and became the magistrate of the county. Chapter 302 of the text volume: Guo An went on an expedition and Zhu Ping returned to Xi'an. "It doesn't matter, just transfer the craftsmen in Goryeo back!"
Zhu Di said directly.
"Your Highness is wise, but I have forgotten that Prince Yan also has craftsmen in Goryeo!"
Zhu Fu's eyes lit up, and he quickly said: "Your Highness, paving so many sections of cement roads also requires many bookkeepers.
Why don't Your Highness take advantage of the situation and transfer some scribes back from Goryeo?"
"There are not enough scribes in the house?"
Zhu Di said with some doubts.
Zhu Fu said helplessly: "Your Highness, there are enough clerks in the mansion. However, if all the clerks in the mansion are sent to manage these cement roads, then there will be no one available for many affairs in the mansion!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly, then looked at Guo An aside.
"Guo Qing, how many scribes can Goryeo bring back?"
Guo An quickly shook his head, "Your Highness, not even a single scribe from Goryeo can be transferred back!
In fact, not only was Goryeo unable to recruit scribes back, the ministers also had to take several scribes from their residences to Japan."
After hearing this, before Zhu Di could speak, Zhu Fu said angrily: "Guo Changshi, since there are not enough scribes, why do you still suggest that His Highness build such a long cement avenue?
Do you know that in the past two years, you have been taking all the scribes in the house to Goryeo and Japan, how difficult it is for me to handle the government affairs of the house every day?"
Guo An looked shocked, "How could it be that just a few scribes made Zhu Changshi so difficult?
I remember that the academies outside the city recruit a fixed number of poor students to enter the academy every year. Is it possible that now that there are thieves in the academy, the poor students are no longer allowed to enter the academy?"
"There are no thieves in the academy!"
When Zhu Fu was asked this question by Guo An, the resentment in his heart was directly transferred to the academy.
"Then Prince Yan's Mansion can recruit at least thirty scholars as scribes every year. Even if there is a shortage of scribes, it shouldn't be a problem to recruit fifty or even sixty!"
Guo Anman said in shock.
Zhu Fu sighed softly and said: "Guo Changshi didn't know something, because the small classrooms in the academy have made many poor students want to get fame!
Therefore, many talented scholars from poor families would rather stay in poverty in the academy than work as clerks in the government!"
"That's it!"
Guo An nodded lightly, "Then we will recruit the sons of those gentry or merchants."
"Recruiting the sons of gentry and merchants?"
Hearing this, Zhu Di and Zhu Fu were both shocked.
"How does this happen?"
Guo An smiled softly and said: "Your Highness, Zhu Changshi, why can't you recruit the sons of gentry and merchants?"
Zhu Fu shook his head and said: "If someone with evil intentions appears and colludes with their family, then our Prince Yan's Palace will definitely suffer heavy losses!"
Guo An directly sneered, "Zhu Changshi, if any scribe dares to collude with his family and embezzle money from the Mo family, then His Highness will directly send people to confiscate his family, wouldn't he get back his capital and profits?"
"This..."
Zhu Fu was stunned.
On the side, Zhu Di's eyes flashed with strange light.
Guo An continued: "However, the purpose of recruiting children from poor families to serve as officials in Prince Yan's Mansion is just to give them a good future.
Since some people are unwilling, then we will recruit those who are willing to come to the house.
If there is still a shortage of scribes, I believe there will be many merchants and gentry children willing to enter our Prince Yan's Mansion!
Of course, those who come to our Prince Yan Mansion must be hard-working and talented..."
"Yes!"
On the side, Zhu Di said directly: "Zhu Qing, in the future, when I go to Prince Yan's Mansion to recruit scribes, I can also recruit those children of gentry and merchants."
Guo An continued: "In addition, if you have a good reputation, you can also be our scribe in Prince Yan's palace."
"A man of merit?"
Zhu Di and Zhu Fu were both stunned.
You know, at this time, the Ming Dynasty had just gone through several rounds of imperial examinations.
Scholars who have passed the examination are relatively rare.
Even if a scholar wants to become an official, he can enter a state or county government and work as a scribe.
"Exactly!"
Guo Andao said, "Your Highness, our Prince Yan's Palace is going to attack and govern Goryeo and Japan, and we will need more and more officials in the future!"
"In this case, will there really be people with fame coming to serve as our scribes in Prince Yan's Mansion?"
Zhu Fu was still a little unsure, but his eyes were full of expectation.
"There will definitely be one!"
Guo An said with certainty.
"Great kindness!"
Zhu Di's face was full of joy. Since hearing Guo An's "sincere" words a few days ago, Zhu Di's mentality has also changed.
Before, at most, he had never thought of recruiting those scholars who had passed the examination.
Nowadays, even if a Jinshi comes and asks for an official position in Prince Yan's Mansion, Zhu Di must agree.
Seeing this, Zhu Fu on the side looked startled. He suddenly realized that he just wanted to complain. He only wanted to add more government affairs to him, and also took away the scribes he had trained?
Why do we suddenly start an inexplicable discussion about what kind of scribes should be recruited for Chang Shisi?
If this is the case, wouldn’t it add trouble to his long history?
However, Guo An didn't give Zhu Fu time to react and started talking straight away.
"Your Highness, Zhu Changshi, I, the Yan Palace, should let those scholars who have studied understand that the scribe of the Changshi Division is not a worthless position, nor can anyone sneak in at will!
Each of the scribes in Prince Yan's Mansion can take on their own role, be able to govern a state or county, be proficient in the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and be proficient in accounting...
Every one of our scribes in Prince Yan’s Mansion is a talented person, and they will eventually be sent to Korea and Japan. They will be responsible for educating the barbarians, governing the barbarian lands, and opening up and expanding the territory for our Ming Dynasty..."
