Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

After ascending the throne, the first government order issued by Lin Yuan was to open the imperial examination, select talents, and manage the country.

Imperial examinations have existed since ancient times. Since the Han Dynasty, there have been the examination system and the collection system. It was not until the Sui Dynasty that there was a Jinshi department.

"My students naturally have to take the imperial examination to get promoted." The students talked a lot, "The imperial examination system has existed since ancient times, didn't it also be the case in the Yuan Dynasty? Why are you so sad?"

Some people also echoed: "Your Majesty's move is to reassure the hearts of scholars in the world. If everyone wants to be an official and seeks an official, there will be no way for the humble sons to be promoted, and the country will have no peace!"

The person on the other side said: "My family has been an official for generations, and it has existed since ancient times. How can it be compared with the poor family!"

"That's right! Your Majesty wants to hold the imperial examination, and I won't stop it, but we are also from a famous family, and we never rely on the imperial examination to get promoted!"

"This is an insult to my family!"

Zhou Rong passed by at this time, showing disdain.

"Young master Zhou is well prepared, what advice can I give you?" Someone blocked Zhou Rong's way, "Young master Zhou has been reused by His Majesty, so naturally he doesn't like us arguing over the imperial examination."

Someone also spoke for Zhou Rong: "Mr. Zhou, what did you say wrong at the literary meeting before? We have learned from books. When we talk about governing the country, we can only talk about it. Governing the country starts with a single step and is implemented in practice. We know the sufferings of the people. If you don’t know how to deal with merchants, how can you govern the country? Do you govern the country at home?!”

Zhou Rong took a step forward and cupped his hands to the student who spoke for him: "Thank you Brother Zhao for your words and help, but Zhou Rong also has something to say."

"What do you have to say? It's still the same old rhetoric." Some people disdain, "It is said that we are boasting. I think you are the one who is boasting?"

Zhou Rong said with a smile: "All of you are the pillars of the country, all of them have great talents. They are familiar with poetry, books and history. They have learned the way of governing the country since childhood, and they have seen the livelihood of the people since childhood. Is Rong right?"

Someone said: "Forget it, you said something human."

Zhou Rong: "Your Majesty opened the imperial examination, is it wrong?"

No one dared to speak, saying that the emperor was right or wrong, that was what the officials did, and that was their duty.

But white people discussing the emperor's right and wrong means committing the following crimes, and being caught is a capital offense.

Zhou Rong said with a smile: "When all of you are able to go to the court and discuss your Majesty's right and wrong, then come to Tong Rong to talk with each other."

"There is still something to do, let's take a step first, and you can do whatever you want."

Zhou Rong didn't look sideways, and strode forward with big strides, only the disciple surnamed Zhao who spoke for him followed.

Zhao Lin followed Zhou Rong and whispered, "Why do you offend them all?"

Zhou Rong sneered: "Why should I be afraid of offending them? Incompetent people only know how to enjoy themselves. They have never left home, never seen rice fields, and don't know old farmers or people's livelihood. What's the use of being friends with them?"

"You... hey!" Zhao Lin asked, "Where are you going now?"

Zhou Rong walked out of the scholar building and said to Zhao Lin, "Go see Your Majesty."

Zhao Lin's eyes widened: "Is the rumor true? Are you really hired by His Majesty? On Tuesday, you really soared!"

Zhou Rong looked stern, and said to Zhao Lin, "Brother Zhao, I have a message for you."

Zhao Lin solemnly, straightened his clothes, clasped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me."

Zhou Rong: "Your Majesty will not use the sons of aristocratic families. Your Majesty will use people with lofty ideals. Your Majesty has great ambitions. We will be loyal ministers and direct ministers. Only by being loyal to your majesty and Ming Dynasty can we have a chance to be promoted."

"Civilian ministers remonstrate to death, military officers fight to death, so the country will prosper!"

Zhao Lin's eyes widened, his nostrils slightly dilated: "You don't need to be a child of an aristocratic family..."

Zhou Rong patted Zhao Lin on the shoulder: "Brother Zhao, think for yourself."

"What charades are you playing! Can't you speak clearly?" Zhao Lin shouted to Zhou Rong's back.

Zhou Rong raised his hand and shook his back to Zhao Lin: "It's boring if you speak too clearly."

Zhou Rong walked into the palace gate, he looked up at the doorpost, and then at the steps.

The son of the Zhou family lived in the countryside all the time in the Yuan Dynasty, farming with the farmers. He knew that the people's livelihood was hard, and he knew that the farmers were still homeless when they had been farming all their lives. When he was a boy, his only dream was to be able to enter the village The gate of the palace, stretch your ambitions, and dedicate your blood to the king.

However, in the Yuan Dynasty, traitors and sycophants were in power, and even loyal officials of their own clan were designed to kill them.

What's more, they are Han Chinese.

He had no intention of serving the country, but he was unable to implement it.

Now, a new dynasty has been established and a new king is on the throne. He knows who he should be loyal to.

He wants to be a straight minister, a loyal minister.

Lin Yuan watched Zhou Rong salute to him, he smiled and said: "Free from courtesy, come and sit, come to my side."

Zhou Rong walked to Lin Yuan's side.

Lin Yuan took his hand: "I have something for you to do."

Zhou Rong quickly said: "Your Majesty, it's okay to say, the grassroots will never refuse."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "There is no need to be anxious about the aristocratic family, but for the matter of the academy, I want you to be the governor of the government. This is a new official. From the sixth rank, if you think the official is small, it is best to say it now."

Zhou Rong said eagerly: "Your Majesty said with a smile that no subject has ever suspected that an official is small."

Lin Yuan took a sip of tea: "This is the best way, I want you to promote official education, so that the common people can learn to read and write."

Zhou Rong looked at the teacup, and asked, "Your Majesty... the grass people are dull."

Lin Yuan looked at Zhou Rong: "Where is the stupidity?"

Zhou Rong: "If your Majesty is to promote official studies, he will definitely not look for grassroots people. The grassroots people are unknown. Whether it is Lord Zheng, Lord Wu, or even Prime Minister Song, they are more suitable than ministers. Your Majesty is looking for grassroots people. There must be reasons for grassroots people."

"Promoting government education will definitely attract stigma." Lin Yuan looked at him with blazing eyes, "All along, the knowledge of writing has been monopolized by the upper class, even if it is a poor family, it is just three generations without officials."

"Promoting government schools nowadays is tantamount to competing with aristocratic families. If you agree, you will be in danger."

Lin Yuan said again: "Besides, it's not just the government school, there is another important thing."

"Make characters." Lin Yuan looked at Zhou Rong.

As soon as these two words came out, Zhou Rong was so shocked that his liver and gallbladder split.

Lin Yuan smiled: "Maybe you do it? How dare you do it?"

Zhou Rong pursed her lips and said: "If the grassroots follow, all the scholars in the world will be my enemies, and they would like to cut me into pieces."

Lin Yuan: "Dare you?"

Zhou Rong raised his head, looked straight into Lin Yuan's eyes, said every word, "Zhou Rong dare!"

"Okay!" Lin Yuan ordered, "Bring the wine! I want to get drunk with Zhou Qing!"

"Such courage, such courage, Zhou Rong, if you can accomplish something, I will regard you as a minister!"

The two of them were half-drunk, Zhou Rong asked through the strength of the wine: "Your Majesty, why did Your Majesty choose Caomin?"

Lin Yuan's face was flushed red. He hadn't drank for a long time, and now it's okay to drink a little: "Those who are not afraid of death, who dare to give up everything for the sake of name, Zhou Rong, people like you are rare."

Zhou Rong smiled wryly: "Your Majesty puts the subject in a desperate situation."

Lin Yuan: "Are you confident in surviving desperation?"

Zhou Rong lay on the table: "I have been waiting for this time for ten years. Even if it is a dragon's lake or a tiger's lair, I am willing to break into it. I just ask for your majesty's kindness. Don't...don't do it for the Ping family after the minister is done. Resentment, take the head of the minister."

Lin Yuan laughed loudly: "What do people say about me? They say that I am a tyrant, and tyrants, why are you afraid of mediocrity?!"

Zhou Rong: "Youyou's mouth is comparable to a sword..."

Lin Yuan: "If you succeed, the aristocratic family will have nothing to fear. Zhou Rong, what you have to do is to open up a new path. If you succeed, you will leave your name in history forever!"

Zhou Rong said loudly: "Minister, obey the order!"

Lin Yuan washed his face with cold water after Zhou Rong was taken to the bedroom by the servants.

He can't let Song Shizhao or Wu Changqing do this. They are all from the upper class, even Song Shizhao, who has the worst background, is also from an aristocratic family. They think that ordinary people are not worthy of reading sage books.

Song Shizhao and the others did not object to Lin Yuan's implementation of elementary schools in Gaoyou and other places, because those teachers did not teach the way of governing the country, but the livelihood of ordinary people.

Lin Yuan asked Zhou Rong to create characters to simplify the characters according to the current world situation.

This is impacting the cultural foundation of the entire feudal society.

He could think of what the scholars of the world would say about him and Zhou Rong.

Zhou Rong dared to agree to him, because he had put life and death aside.

Lin Yuan said to Er Liang, "This man is a madman."

Erliang didn't understand, but he still said along the way: "Yes, he is quite crazy for daring to ask you to drink so much."

Lin Yuan laughed.

Erliang added: "General Chen has been waiting outside, will you see him tonight?"

Lin Yuan stood up: "See, why don't you see me? I'm in good spirits right now!"

Erliang reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you should call yourself me."

Lin Yuan: "Don't worry about it, please invite him in."

When Chen Bosong went in, he saw Lin Yuan smiling at him. Lin Yuan's cheeks were flushed, his eyes were moist, and he was affectionate even if he didn't smile. What's more, he was smiling at this time. Chen Bosong paused. He hadn't looked at Lin Yuan for a long time. up.

Lin Yuan's length has changed, his aura has changed, but his face has not changed. God has treated him generously, and he still looks like a boy now.

"Your Majesty." Chen Bosong was about to salute, but Lin Yuan waved his hand, "Stop saluting, come here."

Chen Bosong walked over, he was still wearing armor, walking like the wind, tall and strong, he came out of blood, grew up on the battlefield, and already had the temperament of a titan.

"You look a little old." Lin Yuan said suddenly.

Chen Bosong knew that Lin Yuan was drunk, so he looked at Lin Yuan: "I'm 38 this year too."

Lin Yuan: "...Really?"

The ancients had a short lifespan, and the average age was only forty. Even if the common people were not counted, not many high-ranking officials could live to sixty.

What's more, the generals who killed the enemy on the battlefield had countless old injuries.

Lin Yuan suddenly said, "You are already 38, and you haven't married yet."

Chen Bosong: "Too busy, no time."

Lin Yuan: "You are still so straightforward."

Chen Bosong looked at Lin Yuan with fire in his eyes: "Young Master, did you know now?"

Lin Yuan seemed to be attracted by the fire in Chen Bosong's eyes, and looked at him obsessively: "I always knew."

Chen Bosong choked for breath.

Lin Yuan asked him: "There are so many people by my side, but you are the only one I trust the most."

Chen Bosong closed his eyes: "I... know."

Lin Yuan suddenly asked him: "Let me ask you, do you dare to offend?"

Chen Bosong suddenly became mute.

"I don't know how to marry a wife, and I won't have children in this life." Lin Yuan suddenly said, "If I have children, there is no hope for what I want to do in this life. This road may be a dead end. Do you dare to accompany me?" Go together?"

Chen Bosong opened his mouth, and the words he said were resounding: "I dare!"

He didn't know when he thought about it, he just realized that he didn't want anyone to be closer to Lin Yuan than him.

This idea is rooted in his heart, and he has deliberately avoided it for a long time. If Lin Yuan does not marry a wife, he will not marry a day.

He thought that he would be like this in his life, he would witness Lin Yuan's visit to the Great Treasure and sit in Kyushu, and he would shed the last drop of blood for Lin Yuan.

Not for the people, not for the world, just for Lin Yuan.

The author has something to say: Chen Bosong has always been very possessive.

This is the case with any relationship to the extreme, so his feelings for Lin Yuan are very complicated.
