Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 342 Too unexpected
According to Liu Weichao's design ideas for Emperor Chongzhen, or the suggestions he put forward, when this upsurge of scientific knowledge is brewing again, and after it becomes hotter, he is going to launch a new set of craftsman titles, and each title corresponds to the treatment of imperial examination officials There are regulations, and then a group of craftsmen who he thinks are worthy of being knighted so far will be entrusted.

These artisan titles are also paid by the emperor's internal treasury, just like the honor of the emperor's relatives.The outer court couldn't point fingers, and bypassed the outer court.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty had several promotion systems.

The first set, and at present, the most respected system is the imperial examination system, with Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi, officials of all ranks, and the first assistant is the No. 1 civil official.

The second set is the mature inner court system. When you first enter the palace, you can only be a pawn book, a long follower, and a servant. If you perform well, you can be promoted to Jian Cheng. His immediate boss is the famous eunuch.Among them, the eunuch who is in charge of the ceremony is No. 1 in the inner court.

The third set is the system on the army, in which the guard system is the small banner, the general banner, the hundred households, the thousand households, and the capital division; .When there is a war, the command is the garrison, guerrilla, general, deputy general and general.

Originally, the commander of the five armies was the highest officer of the army, but the Ming Dynasty was special. Instead, it was the minister of the Ministry of War, who belonged to the civilian officials, and was the military leader.In layman's terms, it is to use literature to control military affairs.

On top of the above three systems, there is also the conferment of Duke Marquis. Generally speaking, it is easier for warriors with the lowest status to be conferred with military merit.In the two systems of civil servants and eunuchs, there are very few titles, and eunuchs are more likely to be liquidated if they are titled.

Today, Emperor Chongzhen is preparing to add another craftsman system, corresponding to the above systems.On top of the craftsman system, there is also the Duke of Dukes, the most representative of which is Song Yingxing who has been awarded the title of Master of Science and Technology.

Of course, at this time, no one thinks that Song Yingxing is a representative of the artisan system, after all, he still has the identity of a juren.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that there were too few scientific and technological talents in his hands. Heeding Liu Weichao's suggestion, he did not dare to forcefully include scientific examinations in the imperial examinations in this war-torn era.Otherwise, it is very likely that some scholars will be dissatisfied with this, oppose the imperial court, join bandits or other forces against Ming Dynasty, and it will be a big trouble.

At least because thieves have always been popular in chasing stolen goods and subsidizing salaries, robbing big households for a military policy, it is basically difficult for scholars to recognize them.

After so many years, the thieves have become popular, and the court has been unable to wipe them out, and finally some scholars have turned to the thieves.

But, to be honest, the quality of these scholars, or the level of these scholars is not high, but for the thieves, the addition of scholars is even more powerful.

For example, Niu Jinxing was a juren, and Li Yan was also a juren. They proposed to Li Zicheng the political slogan of equalizing land and exempting grain, thus changing the transformation of Li Zicheng's bandits from the road to hegemony; and Song Xiance was Li Zicheng's military adviser. , but the occupation is fortune-telling, he must have read some books, but he must not have a good reputation, otherwise he would not make a living by fortune-telling.

On the other hand, Fan Wencheng was a scholar who took the initiative to join Jianlu and played a very important role in the growth of Jianlu and his entry into the customs to win the world.

All these kinds of things all show how much trouble it will bring for scholars to join Daming's opposition forces.

Therefore, the imperial examination system that most touched the interests of scholars, even Emperor Chongzhen dared not change it randomly.He can enforce new policies, but he can't stop some resentful scholars from defecting to the rebels.

In the end, it was under Liu Weichao's suggestion that he planned to use the method of the title of craftsman.At least on the surface, it has little to do with the conflict of interests of scholars.

Emperor Chongzhen then devoted all his attention to this aspect. As for the military aspect, it was naturally handed over to Sun Chuanting, Du Yinxi, Xie Xuelong and others.

After summing up the current situation in the world with Liu Weichao, Emperor Chongzhen's countermeasures were to let Sun Chuanting lead the armies of the Central Plains to encircle and suppress Zuo Liangyu, a scum, and take advantage of the opportunity of Li Zicheng's fire and Luo Rucai to exert pressure and attack Li Zicheng's troops. He was relieved of the opportunity to integrate the army.

As for the Qin land, it has been half a year since the integration.As long as Tongguan is well guarded, Qin will not be attacked by thieves; but on the other side of Shu, Emperor Chongzhen is a little worried.

Because according to the history provided by Liu Weichao, Zhang Xianzhong would jump into Sichuan again after he could not stand in the south of the Yangtze River.

For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen has expedited eight hundred miles to send an order to Du Yinxi: he will lead the war in Qin and Shu, and stop the thieves. The possibility of Shu.

As for the talents Du Yinxi used, in addition to those in Qin, Emperor Chongzhen also had a secret decree for Du Yinxi when he left the capital for Qin according to the information provided by Liu Weichao.

It can be said that with the help of Liu Weichao, Emperor Chongzhen can be regarded as a wise and powerful emperor who can pinch and count.

With such an arrangement, he no longer has to worry about military affairs.

..............................

No, outside the gate of the governor's mansion on three sides of Guyuan, a group of travel-worn people just arrived.

The leader is very young, in his early twenties, with a handsome appearance.What is even more surprising is that beside him, the closest to him is a beautiful woman.

This beauty, like him, is wearing armor and has a heroic appearance. She is a heroine at first glance.

"Sir, this is the Governor's Mansion!"

Hearing these words, this heroine of the female school is actually the wife of the young man who is the leader.

The young man listened, nodded, immediately got off his horse, and said to the group of people behind him: "Everyone, we are here!"

A group of people behind him heard this and dismounted one after another.

These people all have one characteristic, Kong Wu is powerful, but some are even older than him.

As they dismounted from their horses, they chattered to the young man.

"Mr. Zeng, I followed you because of your reputation. I didn't make this trip in vain, did I?"

"Lao Li, you shouldn't have said that. Mr. Zeng is anxious for justice, how could he lie to us!"

"That's right, Brother Yu is still right. I, Hu Mingfeng, will obey Mr. Zeng alone. If he calls, I will come. Even if it is fake, I am willing!"

In the crowd, the tallest man heard their conversation and said loudly: "I am an imposing Wu Jinshi, and I am willing to give up my official position to come with Mr. Zeng. What are you talking about!"

Upon hearing his words, that old Li smiled and said: "What's wrong with you Wu Jinshi? You are also a petty official, depressed and frustrated. If you became a defensive or guerrilla fighter, would you still come?"

They were laughing and talking, and the person at the front of the crowd bowed to the young man, Mr. Zeng, and said, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Zeng, I will report to the Governor!"

Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd behind him, he went to the gate of the Governor's Mansion without even showing his badge, so he really had to go in.

Seeing this scene, the crowd behind became silent.

They have always been skeptical, thinking that this person's identity may not be true.Now it seems that it is no problem.

And if the identity of the person who entered just now is really all right, doesn't that mean that what Mr. Zeng said is true?

The dignified governor, the new governor who has just come to Guyuan from the capital, can know them and let Mr. Zeng come forward to recruit them to report to Guyuan?

To be honest, this conclusion made them very surprised, and they also felt that it was very impossible, which made them feel a little skeptical about Mr. Zeng's invitation!
Among other things, most of them are actually ordinary people, just a tall man, the No. 3 Wu Jinshi, but they have been unsuccessful and suppressed by others, and finally returned to their hometown in Shu.

They can't think of it, just relying on them, not to mention the governors of Shu, even their prefects may not know them. It's really strange that a governor from another province knows them and let Mr. Zeng come to recruit them. Strange!

In fact, not to mention them, even Mr. Zeng, who is the leader, is equally strange.

Although his father was an official, he was only a small official in the Governor's Mansion.Although he is eager for justice, his reputation is mostly among the people.The heroes and righteous men in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages all obey him, and that's all!
He still remembers very clearly at this time that when the governor's messenger came to the door, he thought it was a charlatan who came to fight the autumn wind. Even if he took out the token and military order, he thought it was a forgery.

There is no other reason, it is really a surprise.

Not only asked him to go to Guyuan to listen to the order by name, but also called a lot of names and asked him to invite him to go to Guyuan together.The most surprising thing is that he even called his wife's name and wanted to go together.

Such a thing, no matter how you look at it, is unreliable!
However, he could not prove that the orderly was a fake.He was half-doubtful, and when he heard that the governor turned out to be Mr. Duyinxidu, who suddenly became famous last year, his mind cleared up.

To be honest, a capable person would naturally not be willing to stay dormant for a lifetime.

However, he has no way to serve the country.Although he knew Chen Shiqi, governor of Sichuan, because of his father's relationship, but, to be honest, he looked down on Chen Shiqi, thinking that Chen Shiqi was just a boastful person, good at writing, and the kind of military equipment that made him want to yell.

Of course, Chen Shiqi looked down on him as a warrior, even though he was versatile in both civil and military affairs and handsome, so in the end he believed that the identity of the messenger was real, so he recruited the people on the list to come to the governor of Guyuan together The government took a chance.

　I went out at [-]:[-] yesterday. I wanted to take my wife and children out for dinner, but I didn’t come home until after ten o’clock. I couldn’t finish a chapter.During the holidays, the roads are really congested, and there are queues at restaurants, so going out takes time!
