Chapter 144 Everyone has promotion and appointment
"Zuo Guangdou, I have a message for you." Zhu Youxiao smiled at Zuo Guangdou and said.
"I am all ears."
"The prodigal son returns with gold."
Zhu Youxiao directly sent these words to Zuo Guangdou in the following words.
This... Even if you are as smart as Zuo Guangdou, it took you a few breaths to understand what it meant when you first heard it.
People who have made mistakes are more valuable than gold after they correct their mistakes...
Zuo Guangdou was actually unconvinced in his heart. First of all, he didn't think what he did was wrong, and then he felt that some of Tianqi's actions were extreme.
However, now it is a false surrender.
"I shed tears of gratitude and thank you for your forgiveness."
Of course he felt that he was wronged and pretending to say this, but when he was pretending, he also pretended that he really felt that he was wrong before.
In order to pretend like this, I reflected that I had indeed believed Wang An and Wang Wenyan's wrong words. I believed Zhu Youxiao, who was the eldest grandson of the emperor at the time, and was incompetent.
The Donglin Party is indeed too impatient and wants to gain more power through meritorious deeds.
As for the rebellion...of course he knew a lot of details. Although he didn't plan as many as Wang Wenyan, he knew it when he entered the palace...
"Zuo Yushi, you have been reinstated. It may be inappropriate to promote you now, but you did a good job when you were in the local government. The answer to this question is also that you are the only one who cracks down on fakes and creates something similar to brand trademarks.
The seals and logos guarantee authenticity. The idea is really good, and I believe we will make more achievements in the field of censorship supervision."
Everyone was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what the brand trademark meant.
It was also Zuo Guangdou's first time to hear it, but when he wrote about fighting counterfeiting and using seals and marks to ensure authenticity, he immediately understood what it meant.
"I understand."
Zhu Youxiao also had a few words with Wen Tiren, Xiong Wencan, and Zhou Yanru who were ranked fifth, sixth and seventh, praising their writing style, solidity and ideas.
These three people will all have a bad reputation in later generations, but in Zhu Youxiao's eyes, he feels that it is appropriate to make good use of these three with his own skills.
Zhou Yanru is indeed handsome and his writing style is quite good.
Xiong Wencan looks like a very serious person from the outside, but there are a lot of brags in the article. The key is that the bragging is very true. What about exploring overseas, discovering uninhabited lands, exploring and mining gold and silver, and making up for it with commodities from all over the world, from the imperial court down to the lowest level?
What the market needs...
He is worthy of being the king of bullshit, but if a person brags and tries his best to achieve every bragging, then it is not bragging~
"When Xiong Wencan was added to the post of associate bachelor of the Archives Department and concurrently served as a member of the Ministry of Rites, he cooperated with Wen Tiren, a bachelor of the Archives Department, to record files."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiong Wencan was overjoyed.
Needless to say, Wen Tiren has accepted that he is one of his own. This man was known as a traitor in later generations, mainly because he killed Qian Longxi and Yuan Chonghuan of the Donglin Party. Of course, the Manchus and literati who surrendered to the enemy later had countless bad words for him. In fact, he is someone who can use it.
No need for promotion yet.
Zhu You was much more polite when reviewing the fourth place.
Han Xu was the real prodigal son who never returned money. Before the rebellion, as a peripheral of Donglin, he firmly drew a clear line with the rebellion and cooperated with Zhu Youxiao to calm the situation.
"Mr. Han Ge, I have always wanted to communicate with you more and discuss major world affairs and governance together. Today I finally have the opportunity."
"Your Majesty, although this veteran has little talent and knowledge, he has experienced a lot and will definitely do his best to cooperate with Your Majesty."
"Mr. Han Ge, you have been promoted to the position of second assistant not long ago. I cannot promote you immediately, but I will definitely adopt more of your suggestions and ideas."
"I am already the second minister in the cabinet. I have had enough honors in my life. I don't ask for rewards. I only ask that your majesty can revive the Ming Dynasty and restore the martial virtues of Taizu and Chengzu."
Zhu Youxiao recognized Han Xu very much and did not fight for power.
"There is also the second Sun Chengzong, the third Xu Guangqi, and the fifth Wen Tiren just now. You were all just promoted by me, so you cannot be promoted immediately."
"I would like to thank Your Majesty. Your current position is already very honorable. I will try my best to do it well."
Zhu Youxiao discussed Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi's ideas for a while. He had communicated with several examiners before and posted them specifically to let the world know.
These days, even if someone doesn't like Xu Guangqi learning Western technology and knowledge, no one can raise objections from academic and theoretical perspectives.
This is his ability.
There is also Sun Chengzong, whose overall perspective is difficult to see among ordinary literati. For example, Chongzhen once asked realistic questions about taxation and thieves in the imperial examination. But even the number one scholar at the time
I can only organize some literary works and classics and make some empty statements.
Therefore, a person like Sun Chengzong was ranked second in the imperial examination in middle age, and then ranked second in this exam when he was approaching old age, which shows that he is indeed very outstanding in terms of coordination and perspective.
The saying that the market depends on people's livelihood and public sentiment made Zhu Youxiao himself realize a lot.
The number one scholar, Bi Ziyan, has been standing by to apologize.
In terms of Jinshi qualifications, he is relatively high; in terms of positions, Taichang Temple Minister is not low, but he is very low-key, does not form parties for personal gain, let alone speculate and make trouble, so he is not famous at all in the Wanli Taichang Tianqi Dynasty.
In later generations, Chongzhen went crazy due to lack of money. The changes in Jisi, the doubling of Liao's wages and the large-scale peasant uprising in the northwest made Chongzhen feel like the sky was falling in his early years.
But apart from Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao and other great civil and military figures fighting in the front, financial master Bi Ziyan is the hero behind the scenes.
Until the critical turning point of the 14th year of Chongzhen's reign, the finances were stable and the world was on the verge of ending chaos.
This is Bi Ziyan’s huge contribution.
"No. 1 Scholar, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
Bi Ziyan quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I just have a little thought about finance, and I am still far from the number one scholar..."
"No, you are the number one scholar in my heart, and this time all the officials from the capital are tested together. Except for a few who are scholars, the others are all Jinshi in various years. For such a valuable exam, you are my number one scholar."
Zhu Youxiao categorically recognized Bi Ziyan’s status as the number one scholar.
Maybe he will be a little modest, but this ability cannot be faked. If he can show excellent strength under brother Youjian, then he will have to double it under himself to be considered a victory.
"I obey the decree."
Zhu Youxiao promoted Bi Ziyan first this time and asked him to go to places where he particularly needs people.
"Bi Aiqing, what do you think of Tianjin Bosi?"
Zhu Youxiao did not continue to praise and compliment this time, but directly asked questions.
"Well..." Bi Ziyan didn't react so quickly, he just started thinking honestly.
After a while, he stroked his beard and replied unhurriedly: "Tianjin is the gateway to the capital. The current Tianjin guards are neither strong enough nor enough to become a transportation hub next to the capital."
Everyone began to think after hearing this. Dong Qichang asked first: "When talking about Tianjin Port, why did the Number One Scholar talk about the strength of Tianjin Guards?"
Bi Ziyan said: "Building Tianjin Port is to establish the gateway and hub center of the capital. The canal and the military strength alone cannot play this role, so we must build a large port where we can build shipping, naval forces and a strong army." Zhu Youxiao said without hesitation: "I ordered Bi Ziyan to serve as governor of Tianjin."
