Chongzhen Undergraduates

"Report to the dean, my name is Song Yingxing, and I choose steelmaking." Among the crowd, an elderly man stood up from a corner.

Zhu Youjian glanced at Wang Chengen, who was on the side, and Wang Chengen immediately whispered: "This is the person on the list you told me, and the old slave just arrested him recently."

Zhu Youjian instantly understood that it was a pity for such a character to remain among the people, and he should have been allowed to display his true talents.

Song Yingxing, the author of "Tiangong Kaiwu", is the first scientist in the world to scientifically discuss zinc and copper-zinc alloy (brass).He clearly stated that zinc was a new metal and described for the first time how to smelt it.

It would be a pity that he did not study the material.The method of refining brass by substituting metal zinc for zinc compound (calamina) recorded by Song Yingxing is the earliest record in human history to directly melt two metals, copper and zinc, to obtain brass.

For a long time, China has become the only country in the world that can smelt zinc on a large scale.

For this point, Zhu Youjian has confidence in letting him solve the steelmaking business.What's more, Zhu Youjian has already drawn the basic diagrams of blast furnace ironmaking and converter steelmaking.

The most rare thing is that this guy is already 57 this year, and he is still educated. He needs knowledge, knowledge and experience.

"You can be the director. In the future, the projects of the material department and the mechanical department will be under your control." Zhu Youjian waved his hand, and Song Yingxing became an official.

"Ah!" Song Yingxing took the imperial examination three times, but got nothing. He didn't expect to be an official when he was almost sixty, although he didn't know what rank it was.

Fang Yizhi couldn't help but take another look at Song Yingxing. Based on his recent understanding of Zhu Youjian, he didn't know that he had real skills, and it was not easy for Zhu Youjian's officials to give it to him.

At least when he mentioned Hou Fangyu before, Zhu Youjian showed no interest.

As a friend, Fang Yizhi felt that Hou Fangyu's anger was at home.

Zhu Youjian was arranging troops, and Hou Fangyu was not idle. He was also actively making progress, but he was just looking for a way to get into the officialdom.

Chapter 100: The signboard was smashed

When Zhu Youjian came to Nanjing, he couldn't see the cabinet, although he didn't take the cabinet seriously.

However, in the past few months, the cabinet has been handling the affairs of Da Mingming, and it is really inappropriate if he doesn't even see him.

Zhu Youjian stayed in Jiangjunshan for three full days, and he didn't come to Nanjing again until Song Yingxing led the team to Ma'anshan.

The city of Nanjing is currently very peaceful, not because of Zhu Youjian, nor because of the excellent cabinet he chose.However, there are still many official vacancies in Nanjing, which have not been arranged. All those who have opportunities and those who have no opportunities are all counting on it.

The meat was already on the table, and the big guys were all eagerly waiting to share it. No one was restless. At this time, almost everyone thought that they would definitely get a piece, so why be impulsive.

There was an administrative team in Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately, this team was just like the imperial palace in Nanjing, it only had airs and was dilapidated.

In addition, after Chongzhen came to power, there were frequent wars in the north.Fighting wars is not only about money and food, but also about talents.Throughout the 17 years of Chongzhen, the consumption of talents was also huge, let alone his dozen or so cabinet ministers.

The north was completely defeated. Of course, many talents were transferred from the south, so the vacancies of official positions in the south were also very serious.

Does Ming Dynasty have many officials?The answer is yes: severely lacking.

"Your Majesty, if you don't send officials, many opponents will not be able to effectively govern." Ruan Dacheng was the first to ask the most acute question.

Those who hope to become officials are not only Fushe, not only Donglin, but also the eunuchs, because the eunuchs are no longer the gang of eunuchs, and the eunuchs at this time actually look down on the original Donglin of Donglin. Being suppressed, excluded, and finally huddling together to keep warm, they turned against each other, and even worked together.

"My minister thinks that the most urgent thing is to get a scholar as soon as possible. For the future of my Ming Dynasty, the emperor should make a plan early." Qian Qianyi has completely recovered, and he has officially come to work in the cabinet, and he is in good spirits.

"Let's not talk about this first. I have a list here, and I need you to confirm it. After the cabinet approves it, I will hand it over to the Ministry of Officials."

Zhu Youjian had just promised a bunch of official positions in Jiangjunshan. Although it did not conform to the formal system of Ming Dynasty, the promised official positions would have to be paid, otherwise who would give their lives?

Qian Qianyi felt that he had high qualifications, so he completely ignored Zhu Yujian, Ruan Dacheng and others, took the documents first, and was immediately stunned.

The officials assigned by Zhu Youjian arranged a total of 30 people, and they were still unheard of official positions.Looking at the salaries, I am even more surprised. The salaries of these people are all equivalent to the third-rank and fourth-rank officials of the imperial court.

This is so old and new. So many people have not passed the formal examination or normal promotion. How can they be appointed out all at once?

"Your Majesty, this is not in line with the ancestral system." Qian Qianyi immediately objected without even giving anyone a look.

There are only so many first- and second-rank officials, and the third and fourth ranks have the most positions, but there are also quotas for third and fourth ranks.What's more, the most ideal official positions in many people's minds are the third and fourth ranks, which is also the level with the greatest benefits and the greatest hope.

Zhu Youjian threw it out twenty or thirty times with a wave of his hand, so the others would have a fart, and they were all waiting to drink cold water.

"But I've already been appointed as an official, you can't let what I said don't count?"

You are not joking, this is an iron law, if the emperor speaks like farting, then the prestige will be lost.Especially for this kind of thing that can get benefits, everyone counts on the emperor's promise.

"I still suggest that you should quickly enroll in Enke to get a scholar, so as to reassure the hearts of the scholars in the world." Qian Qianyi was playing tricks, fighting for what should be fought, and fighting for what should be robbed.

"I said before that it is a time of crisis, and there are still some officials who don't reflect on themselves, disregard the laws of the country, and accept bribes. I can bear it and can't bear it. Do you think it is feasible to let officials report illegal things to each other?"

What Zhu Youjian meant was that since you think I have arranged too many officials, why not just move some more out? Is this enough?

Upon hearing this, Qian Qianyi and Ruan Dacheng realized that this matter had been mentioned before, but it was not carried out.It's a good thing, it's nothing more than everyone fighting each other to see who has more unlucky men.

"Your Majesty is wise!" None of them had any objections, the principle of beating opponents and developing oneself has been the core method of playing politics for thousands of years.

"It's just Kai Enke?" Qian Qianyi still didn't give up. There were too many people behind him, so he couldn't help but desperately.

"The order of the prince of the Jian Kingdom: The Enke will be opened next spring, and a large number of talented people will be recruited. This Enke is divided into two categories. One is officials, and students with certain knowledge can participate. The official examinations can refer to Huai'an precedents; It is an imperial examination, and it is designed for officials."

Zhu Youjian dropped a blockbuster, which is all good news. The first is that the number of people admitted will be large, and the second is that it is the first time to openly recruit officials. This is equivalent to giving students who have no hope of being admitted an additional a hope.Anyway, if you can't be an official, you can still be an official, and you don't have to use connections to become a small official.

Qian Qianyi was very excited. He felt that his efforts were not in vain. He has a lot of students. This time, it can be expected that almost all of them will be able to enter the officialdom.

Ruan Dacheng was startled, and looked at Zhu Youjian. For the first time, he realized that he was not smart enough. He never thought of what Zhu Youjian's purpose was for doing this. Could it be that the emperor is really so generous?

Of course Zhu Youjian is not generous, even stingy.Let him spend money to support the officials who are against him, how cheap he must be to do this.

However, the affairs of the world cannot be done by him alone. First of all, he has to find a way to find someone with the same heart as him.

The official examination is just an attempt, and it is also a division and disintegration of Jiangnan Shilin. As for the effect, let's throw out a bone first.

However, things were far from as simple as Zhu Youjian thought. Zhu Youjian's appointment had just been issued to the Ministry of Officials, and the entire Nanjing city knew everything the next day.

Zhu Youjian didn't sleep in the palace, but in Jiangjunshan.

Early in the morning, after finally hearing a few birdsong, Wang Chengen hurried in.

"Long live, something is wrong. The signboard of Jiangjunshan Institute of Technology was smashed."

"What? Who is so bold?" Zhu Youjian went crazy when he heard it. How much effort he had made to organize this geomantic treasure land.

"Haven't you sent troops to arrest the troublemaker?!" Zhu Youjian yelled, while getting dressed, ready to check the situation.

"I can't catch them. Almost all the students from Nanjing City are here." Wang Chengen was in a hurry. He had never seen this before in Beijing. Who would have thought that the scholars in Jiangnan would be so rampant.

"Why?" Zhu Youjian was stunned for a moment, knowing that this matter is not easy, and that if he can gather a large number of students, there must be someone behind him.

"The old slave doesn't know either, Mr. Shi Kefa is on his way."

Well, since someone is picking things up, there must be a purpose.After all, Shi Kefa is also the messenger of all parties, so he knows more or less about this.
