Chapter 369 The gentry of Beiping Prefecture surrendered again
Ming Dynasty: Huddled in Beiping County as Magistrate Text Volume Chapter 369 The gentry of Beiping Prefecture surrendered again. Zhu Yunwen raised the corners of his mouth and said with a serious face: "Mr. Huang, please don't say that. In the entire Ming Dynasty, Mr. Huang is the most loyal minister to Gu.
, If Gu can’t even protect Mr. Huang, how can other officials be loyal to Gu!”
"His Royal Highness Taisun cares so much about his ministers, it is obvious to everyone in the court!"
Huang Zicheng said with excitement: "In the future, there will be more people as loyal to His Highness as Wei Chen!"
Zhu Yunwen nodded with a happy face, then thought of something and looked at Huang Zicheng, his eyes full of expectation.
"Mr. Huang, Grandpa Huang just scolded Gu this time! So, can Gu do something else?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Zicheng was suddenly shocked and hurriedly advised.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we have just been forgiven by Your Majesty. We must not anger Your Majesty again!"
"What Mr. Huang said makes sense!"
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, but his eyes flickered, but he didn't think so in his heart.
This time he had the courage to rescue his companion Huang Zicheng despite Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding, and it was like opening a magic box in his heart.
Yes, he is the crown prince of Ming Dynasty.
And his imperial grandfather seems to have only a short time left.
As long as he doesn't do something treasonous and unethical, Grandpa Huang will at most scold him like he did today.
Even, I was reluctant to even beat him.
However, he did not inform Huang Zicheng of this mentality.
It’s June.
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty personally went to Fengtian Hall to inquire about fraud in the imperial examination.
Later, Han Kezhong was selected as the number one scholar, Wang Shu was ranked second, and Jiao Sheng was ranked third overall.
At the same time, fifty-eight northern scholars were also admitted as first-class Jinshi.
Also known as Xia Bang, also known as Beibang!
The gains outweighed the losses for the scholars in the south. Not only did they lose more than a dozen officials with southern origins, but they also directly gained 61 more Jinshis from the scholars in the north.
……
Prince Yan's Mansion became lively again.
After learning that Zhu Yuanzhang had established another Xia Bang, all the gentry in Beiping Prefecture once again gathered in Beiping Prefecture to express their gratitude to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Among the sixty-one Jinshi in the Xia List, sixteen of them were scholars from their native place in Beiping Prefecture.
"Thanks to His Highness King Yan this time, otherwise, we northern scholars would have been severely humiliated by those southern scholars!"
"It's the best, it's the best!"
"This time, our northern scholars directly came out with 61 Jinshi, and dozens of officials from the south died directly. It's really satisfying!"
"Stealing chickens but losing rice, those evil villains..."
As they talked, these gentry couldn't help but started to curse those southern gentry.
Zhu Di waved his hands repeatedly without taking any credit.
"We didn't put much effort into this matter. It was all the result of those northern scholars running up and down the capital to redress their grievances, plus those officials from the north in the DPRK who complained to them about their grievances!"
A gentleman hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's words are different. If you don't have His Majesty to report to Your Majesty..."
"Okay!"
Zhu Di said directly and loudly: "If we were not in Beiping Mansion, no one would deliberately target those northern scholars like this!"
Hearing this, the faces of all the gentry could not help but change slightly.
They certainly know who Zhu Di is referring to!
Another chubby gentry said hurriedly: "Without His Highness King Yan, we would not have an academy in Beiping Prefecture, and we would not have so many great Confucian scholars and classics to teach northern students like us.
I’m afraid, I, the northern scholars, are even more unbearable..."
As soon as these words came out, all the gentry nodded their heads.
"Yes, yes, no matter what, His Highness King Yan is our benefactor to the northern scholars!"
With that said, a gentleman directly expressed his intention.
"Your Highness, we have discovered that only His Highness King Yan will treat us and other northern scholars well. I wonder if there is still a shortage of officials in His Highness's house?"
Suddenly, all the gentry looked at Zhu Di eagerly.
"Your Highness, those unfilial sons in our family who were admitted as Jinshi by His Majesty dare not live up to His grace.
However, there are still many children in our family who have real talents and learning."
"Yes, Your Highness, the children in our family, although they are not very talented in writing essays for the imperial examination.
However, each of them is now very familiar with agricultural matters such as water conservancy, craftsmanship, and farming."
A trace of surprise flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, "Huh? Are you, the children of gentry families, willing to bend down and pay attention to these farm matters?"
Hearing this, Guo An couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Are these gentry from Beiping Prefecture opening their books like this?
Those gentry couldn't help but smile with ridicule.
"Your Highness is joking. Since those rebellious members of the family can't write good articles, they should study water conservancy, craftsmanship and farming, which are matters related to thousands of people.
Only in this way can they serve His Highness."
"If it weren't for those traitors who really couldn't bear the hardships, I would still want those brats to join the army!"
When Zhu Di heard about joining the army, he couldn't help but feel shocked...
Then, he sneered and shook his head slightly.
Let these children of the gentry, who used to be proud of the princes and nobles, to study water conservancy, craftsmanship, and farming. It is already enlightening.
As for joining the army, it would be too difficult for them.
However, his current Prince Yan's Mansion is really short of these scholars, and they are also the children of the gentry who know water conservancy, craftsmanship and farming.
Thinking about it, Zhu Di said: "In this case, our Prince Yan's Mansion will hold another recruitment examination, and the number of people is tentatively set at fifty.
If the children in your family really understand water conservancy, craftsmanship and farming, then our Prince Yan's Mansion will definitely recruit them.
And, send them to the Goryeoyan Kingdom to govern the Goryeoyan Kingdom!"
