Gou in Daming, I was overheard by Zhu Yuanzhang

Daming Institute of Science and Technology is a special existence in Yingtian and even the entire Daming.

In the two years since its establishment, the Daming Industrial Group under the Daming Institute of Science and Technology has been nothing short of a money-making machine.

The teachers of Daming Institute of Science and Technology and the shopkeeper and clerk of Daming Industrial Group have extremely high incomes.

When the children of ordinary families come to be students, they all have living expenses as a subsidy.

After graduating from Daming Institute of Science and Technology, students can work in Daming Industrial Group and earn enviable salaries.

Gradually, some scholars who studied in Beijing entered the Daming Institute of Science and Technology.

More skilled apprentices came to Daming Institute of Science and Technology one after another.

After a large number of people, Daming Institute of Science and Technology made a serious selection.

If you want to enter the Daming Institute of Science and Technology, you have to pass several exams and tests!
The things tested mainly depend on skills.

As for culture, as long as you can read and write, you will be fine. The poems, songs, and beautiful articles that the literati are proud of are not considered.

It is better to be able to plan than to hold a writing brush.

Those who can recite poems are worse than those who can memorize formulas.

This has become a hotly debated phenomenon.

Daming Institute of Science and Technology has become the most yearning place for middle and lower class children.

Once entered the Daming Institute of Science and Technology, it changed the life of the whole family.

Because His Majesty and King Wu died in the Western Regions, and the Second Emperor's grandson, Zhu Yunqi, ascended the throne, everyone from the officials to the common people felt that the glorious era of the Ming Academy of Science and Technology was coming to an end!

Sure enough, the new emperor attacked the Daming Institute of Science and Technology.

It is unbelievable that the Daming Institute of Science and Technology chose to confront the new emperor and the imperial army!

Everyone thought that the failure must be the Daming Institute of Science and Technology.

Unexpectedly, it was the new emperor Zhu Yunqi who compromised!
Zhu Yunqi showed all kinds of favors to Daming Academy of Science and Technology!
Cooperating with the Daming Academy of Science and Technology to carry out the reform of the imperial examination system and lure civil servants into the gamble of the Daming Academy of Science and Technology, they almost lost everything.

Zhu Yunqi once again reiterated that no one should interfere with all affairs of Daming Academy of Science and Technology!Don't play the idea of ​​Daming Academy of Science and Technology!

That’s not counting, and I also handed over the stable and most profitable printing of "Mengxi Bi Tan" to Daming Institute of Science and Technology!
Now, the Ministry of Household Affairs has been asked to cooperate with the Daming Institute of Science and Technology to promote the high-yield crop—sweet potato—to the northern and central plains.

The most profitable companies in Daming Institute of Science and Technology are Daming Salt Industry and Daming Newspaper, and the most inconspicuous one is Daming Seed Industry.

Now, Daming Seed Industry is going to be popular again!

Not only did Daming Institute of Science and Technology not collapse, but it became even stronger!

Because the Daming Institute of Science and Technology has received the strong support of two generations of emperors, many educated and unsuccessful candidates also tried their best to enter the Daming Institute of Science and Technology!
To be a student at Daming Institute of Science and Technology, the pressure of competition is increasing!
Those who yearn for Daming Institute of Science and Technology the most are the children of craftsmen.

Daming Institute of Science and Technology has become a sacred palace for all the children of craftsmen!

The first group of students to enter also became the luckiest group!
As long as they pass the assessment in the courtyard, especially those who are approved by the dean Tao Chengdao, they can change from craftsman registration to civil registration.

In the Ming Dynasty, registration was based on industry, and there were three classes for ordinary households: civilian registration, military registration, and craftsman registration.

In particular, craftsman registration is divided into civilian craftsmen and military craftsmen. The labor of craftsmen is very heavy, and under the impact of urban handicraft industry and commodity economy, the life of craftsmen is very poor.

As long as you enter the Daming Institute of Science and Technology and perform well, you can change from a craftsman to a citizen!
After changing to citizenship, you can engage in various industries, and the degree of freedom is much greater.

……

Yingtian Qinhuai Riverside, Shanyin Village.

"Shouzheng, come here, pull the bellows for a while." A middle-aged man shouted.

No one said a word.

The middle-aged man ran into the hut and looked a little angry. His lame son Wang Shou was staring at the teapot in a daze.

"The water boils, the water boils, you know?"

A middle-aged woman came over and was about to remove the teapot, but was stopped by Wang Shouzheng: "Mom, don't move!"

The teapot on the stove was emitting white gas, and the lid moved accordingly.

A middle-aged man named Wang Caiyin was originally a citizen, but his land was seized by an eunuch in the palace, and he was only compensated with a small amount of silver.

Who knows that the imperial court ordered that all transactions with silver taels are not allowed, and anyone who trades with silver taels will either be exiled or exiled.

Wang Caiyin felt cheated, and went to the eunuch to reason, but was beaten up.

Wang Caiyin's son Wang Shouzheng broke his leg when he climbed a tree to dig out a bird's nest because he was naughty.

Because he was too poor to invite a good doctor, his bones were crooked, so he became a lame man.

From then on, Wang Shouzheng was taciturn and never went to private school again.

Wang Caiyin had no other choice, so he went to the court to work in a shipyard in Yingtian, and finally changed his citizenship from a citizen to a craftsman.

The son looks like this, and he has become a craftsman. Although the work is heavy, he will not starve to death.

It's just that there is no hope for his son to study and become an official.

"Shouzheng, are you in a daze again?" Wang Caiyin shouted.

"Don't yell at him!" Wang Caiyin's wife, Mrs. Lin, said, "Your bellows are easy to pull up. Isn't it a solution that Shou Zheng came up with?"

Wang Caiyin was helpless, and really regretted buying Ming Pao for her son.

Although each copy of "Ming Pao" is not expensive, it still costs a lot of money.

"Father, I want to earn money for the family!"

Wang Shouzheng turned his head, his childish face showed firmness.

"Shouzheng, do our blacksmith work well, save enough money, and marry the daughter of the Geng family, the head of the village, in the future. Although it is pockmarked on the face, it will not delay the birth of a baby."

Wang Caiyin said: "Shouzheng, you are also 16 years old this year. As long as we work hard and don't think too much, we will have a good life in the future."

"Mother," Wang Shouzheng didn't answer Wang Caiyin's words: "Do we have any money left? I want to buy some rice paper and an ingot of ink."

Wang Caiyin said: "Shouzheng, what are you doing buying paper and ink? You've been out of school for a long time. And that writing brush, I think it's worth selling it."

Lin sighed: "Let's just leave Shouzheng with a thought, this money is almost bald, and no one wants to sell it."

"Mom, I think I can earn at least 30 taels of gold!" Wang Shouzheng said, "How about I don't want paper anymore, so I borrow some ink from a private school."

Wang Caiyin was a little angry: "Shouzheng, what's wrong with you, are you sick or something? 30 taels of gold? You earn at least 30 taels of gold?"

"I've never seen what gold looks like! You still have 30 taels. Your father and I can't even earn three taels!"

Wang Shouzheng raised the "Ming Pao" in his hand: "Father, it's true, it's all published in this newspaper. Whoever tells the truth about boiling water in a teapot and flushing the lid with air will win a prize."

Wang Caiyin was puzzled, did Ming Pao really say that?
He also knew "Ming Pao", which was a newspaper run by the late emperor and King Wu.

If "Ming Pao" said it, it probably couldn't be false.

Wang Shouzheng read the news, saying that there would be one special prize, with a bonus of 50 taels of gold; ten first prizes, with a bonus of 30 taels of gold; and twenty third prizes, with a bonus of 20 taels of gold.

"Shouzheng, isn't the number of people too small? There are only 31 people in total who can win the prize. Do you calculate how many people there are in Da Ming?"

"Also, should the officials also participate? If there are officials to participate, the gold will definitely be distributed by the officials. It's not our turn anyway!"

"Shouzheng, let's not think about such a beautiful thing. That's not what our family should think about."

With tears in her eyes, Lin brought a bowl of wild vegetables: "My son, are you fainted from hunger? This is lunch, and I put a lot of food in it."

Wang Shouzheng pushed the big black bowl away: "Mother, just find some ink for me, I don't need paper, I'll just write on this Ming Pao. "Ming Pao" must not be what father thinks, it must not be just for officials. money."

Wang Caiyin shook his head heavily, and sat down slumped. His son is too young to know that people are cold and the world is difficult!
