Domineering Daming

Cao Huachun knew that Liaodong has always been Zhu Xu's heart disease, so he replied: "Observe the order."

Just as he was about to leave, Zhu Xu said again: "Let the decree be sent to Zhao Lijiao, let him lead the cavalry northward, and let the cavalry from Mangui move to Changping."

Cao Huachun glanced at Zhu Xu and said, "Observe the order."

After Zhu Xu said this, he was still uneasy, and said again: "Send the decree to Sichuan again, announcing Qin Liangyu to go to Beijing!"

Cao Huachun felt that Zhu Xu's arrangement was too cautious, hesitated for a while, and agreed: "Yes."

Liu Shimin on the other side also felt the same in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

After Cao Huachun left, Zhu Xu heaved a sigh of relief and continued flipping through the notebook.

This one is from Shandong Jinyiwei, in which it enumerates every move of Lu Wang, Li Jingbai, Yan Mingtai and others.Zhu Xu looked at it carefully, then smiled and threw it aside.

Zhu Xu knew that these people had selfish intentions, as long as they followed his established track within the range he could tolerate, Zhu Xu didn't care too much.

What's more, no matter how noisy they are, he can end it with a single sentence!

Boom boom boom!

Suddenly, there was a thunder-like sound outside, and the whole Jingyang Palace trembled. Immediately, the sky darkened rapidly, and Zhu Xu couldn't see the playbook clearly.

Cao Huachun also looked slightly startled, looked up and walked over and said, "Your Majesty, it's going to rain outside."

Zhu Xu couldn't keep watching, so he walked out the door, stood under the eaves, and looked at the dark cloud-covered sky.

Whoa whoa whoa!

Almost in the blink of an eye, the pouring rain poured down, drenching the entire courtyard. Not long after, the stream became a river and a lake, filling the courtyard.

Cao Huachun stood beside him and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Qin Tianjian said that this rain will last for several days."

Zhu Xu nodded silently. The most obvious feature of "Little Glacier" is severe drought and severe waterlogging. The heavy rain is concentrated and short-lived, and the severe drought lasts for a long time.

Zhu Xu looked at it for a while, and saw that the rain was getting heavier, and said, "Let the localities prepare to store water, how are the localities doing?"

Cao Huachun said: "Back to the emperor, preparations have been made in various places. The specifics have to be observed."

Zhu Xu breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the running water in the yard.

This heavy rain is not a good sign.

Sure enough, the heavy rain lasted for several days and nights, and the palace was full of water, and the eunuchs and maids were busy all day with water.

In front of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Xu looked at the sky full of thunder, and said, "I'm afraid it's flooded outside, right?"

Cao Huachun also looked at the dark sky, and said: "Yes, but there is no flood. The dredging of the river for many years has played a big role."

Zhu Xu nodded. The sweet potatoes are about to be harvested. Fortunately, it is not a nationwide flood, so the impact should not be too great.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Wen, Mr. Qian is here."

Liu Shimin came from behind in the rain, put down his umbrella and said.

Both Qian Qianyi and Wen Tiren were ministers of the Ministry of Rites, together with Shi Fenglai from Wenzhao Pavilion, the Ministry of Officials, Hanlin Academy, Gongyuan, and Guozijian were all in charge of this autumn.

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Let them go to Wenzhao Pavilion, we will leave this matter to Wenzhao Pavilion to arrange."

Liu Shimin was slightly startled, then bowed and said, "Yes."

Wen Tiren and Qian Qianyi were both taken aback when they received the order, and they were both taken aback.

Qian Qianyi is Zhu Xu's man, Wen Tiren is not even half of them, and the two looked at each other with different thoughts.

Qian Qianyi is talented, and enjoys a high reputation in Jiangnan, especially in Donglin. He has always been called the "leader", but this leader is inferior to Zhao Nanxing and others, or Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others. A little more, whether it is seniority or official position, that is to say, the literary name is very prosperous.

Seeing that Qian Qianyi was silent, Wen Tiren smiled and said, "Master Qian, please."

Qian Qianyi seemed to be unresponsive, and quickly said: "Yes, Mr. Wen, please."

Wen Tiren glanced at Qian Qianyi, and walked towards Wen Zhao Pavilion, followed by the boy holding an umbrella hurriedly behind him.

Zhu Youjian was a little surprised by Zhu Xu's real delegation of power this time, but he was also very excited. In the classroom, facing Shi Fenglai, Wen Tiren, and Qian Qianyi, they laughed and said, "This year is the first year of Chongzhen's reign." It is very meaningful to select talents once, and the three adults must work together to select talents for the country."

All three of them responded respectfully, bowed and stood there without speaking first.

Zhu Youjian had already seen through the thoughts of these people, and he became more and more dissatisfied, but he said with a smile on his face: "Master Qian, what are the arrangements for this imperial examination?"

Qian Qianyi bowed slightly, and said: "Go back to the prince, I plan to invite the emperor to reopen the Nanjing Tribute Academy. There will be two examinations, one in Nanjing and one in the capital, and 300 people will be admitted each."

Zhu Youjian saw that he didn't say a word to the examiner, the examiner, and the examiner. He frowned and said in a firm tone: "The examination questions, the examiner, and the shutter officer are all decided by the king. Your Excellency, make preparations first, and wait for the king's order for the rest."

Shi Fenglai looked a little worried. Although Jingyang Palace has delegated power, it can still distinguish the size inside.

Wen Tiren and Qian Qianyi's expression did not change, but they were a little dissatisfied in their hearts. This is clearly a power grab, so don't trust them!

However, they have plenty of ways to deal with it, and they all said with smiles on their faces: "Yes."

Chapter 377 Examiner

This heavy rain lasted for five days and five nights before it changed to light rain. It was still endless, as if it was going to finish the year's rain in these few days.

The rain is endless, but the busy ones never stop.

On the pier, piles of goods were unloaded from the ship, and then pulled away by carts, densely packed and full of heat.

"Hey, fortunately there is this new road, otherwise these goods would have to go to waste!"

"No, I heard that no new roads were built in Dezhou, and many boatmen wanted to cry without tears, and they were all soaked by the heavy rain."

"Fortunately, the imperial court made great efforts to dredge the canal before, otherwise it would be bad luck."

"This pier is probably only comparable to Ying Tian."

The boatmen gathered together in twos and threes, stood on the boat, watched the laborers unload the cargo, and talked happily at the same time.

A middle-aged man in charge came out, looked at the sky, and said, "Stop chatting, let's go down and move together, there are hundreds of boats waiting behind."

Several boatmen quickly agreed, and one of them smiled and said, "Yes, but Second Master, we shipped so much good cloth, can we really sell it out?"

Someone opened his mouth, and someone immediately continued, saying: "Yes, Second Master, our batch of goods is enough to make fifty or sixty thousand pieces of clothes. If only it would be great in Yingtian Mansion, where there are many people and rich people, the sales will definitely be fast." , why did you work so hard to transport it to the capital?"

The middle-aged man didn't care much, he pointed at the unloading helpers with a smile, and said, "Guess how much money these people earn a day?"

The boatmen were stunned, looked at the shirtless helper who unloaded the cargo, thought for a while, and said, "Can you earn thirty yuan?"

The middle-aged man glanced at several people and said: "To tell you the truth, it's fifty cents an hour, which is still low. Once there are more ships, the price will be raised accordingly!"
