Chongzhen was quite relieved about Zhu Youjian. Zhu Youjian, who took over Emperor Hongguang as Emperor Longwu in history, has a complimentary attitude and a good overall view. However, he was controlled by Zheng Zhilong, and it was difficult to achieve success. Chongzhen used to imprison Zhu Youjian because he was too suspicious. After changing to the new version of Chongzhen, he naturally knew that Zhu Youjian was not an ambitious person. In fact, the Fisheries Corps was equivalent to a large state-owned enterprise, but it was militarized management. At most, it was behind Shi Lang's Fisheries Corps, which was a third-tier team. How big a prodigal son could he find!

Zhu Youjian was imprisoned for nearly nine years. When he saw the light of day, everything had changed.

After being imprisoned eight years ago, his younger brother Zhu Yu-ying replaced him as the King of Tang. Unexpectedly, in the 14th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng captured Nanyang and Zhu Yu-ying was killed. When Zhu Youjian heard the news, he felt mixed feelings in an instant. Now only half of the country is left in the Ming Dynasty. The angry young man who led his troops to serve the king at that time, Zhu You-kyung, who had been free and regained his title of King of Tang. The King of Tang, who had lost all his edges, lived in Nanjing, and was still feeling that he had a lifetime after the disaster.

However, it did not stop for a few days, and was summoned by the emperor and entrusted with important tasks to form the East China Sea Fisheries Corps.

Zhu Youjian was overjoyed about the emperor's trust. The King of Tang was 43 years old, in his prime, and it was a time of great success. Most of the ships of the Fishery Corps were equipped with new trawlers, at least transformed fishing boats. As for the talents under his command, in addition to the navy soldiers from the Tianjin Navy, the emperor specially recruited pirates outside the Yangtze River Estuary. In addition, the recruitment of fishermen was also good. I expected that after everything was done, I could go out to sea to catch them after a little training. The emperor said that after adopting the new ship, new net, new fish and shrimp, the fish and shrimps caught would be ten times more than today. I wonder if it was so magical! However, judging from the emperor's recovery of Taiwan, the emperor seemed to have been writing magic. Well, I hope that in terms of fishery, I will continue to write magic through his own efforts.

Zhu Youjian happily took office as the commander of the East China Sea Fisheries Corps. Chongzhen was full of confidence in Zhu Youjian. This Tang King was not a playboy. As long as he worked diligently, fishing was not difficult. Moreover, like all state-owned enterprises, it was efficient at the beginning, which was definitely much more efficient than fishermen. If it was added with some management technology in industrial engineering, it would be incomparable. The reason was that the militarized fishery management was destined to be a high-speed operation machine before the lazy and borers figured out the loopholes in management. Of course, once the loopholes were found, the machine would expose all kinds of problems and eventually paralyzed. Fortunately, Chongzhen's requirements were not high. As long as the Fishery Corps had two or three years of efficient operation period and survived the food crisis, they would naturally be free to rectify the fishery group.

With the East China Sea Fisheries Corps led by Zhu Youjian and the South China Sea Fisheries Corps led by Shi Lang, you should catch 100,000 tons of fish and shrimps even if you don’t have it! You should know that this is not the situation of overfishing like later generations. The sea is full of fish. You can catch fish and shrimps by just making a net, let alone the large corps that use advanced fishing equipment and fishing technology to catch them. There is also advanced management technology. Needless to say, a great harvest of fisheries is just around the corner.

If you arrange the matters of the Fishing Corps properly, you have to make some new ideas about the imperial examination.

In the Ming Dynasty, the number of high school Jinshi was more than 24,000, and the admission rate for the provincial examination was less than 4%, and the admission rate for the imperial examination was close to 10%. In other words, only 100 scholars could pass the four Juren. No wonder Fan Jinshi would go crazy after passing the imperial examination! Only ten Juren could pass the Jinshi! The Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty was an admission rate of four in 1,000 scholars, and only 1,000 scholars could pass the college entrance examination! Don’t forget that scholars to pass the college entrance examination first to pass the college entrance examination. It is the general term for the county examination and the government examination. This is the most basic screening. How high is the screening rate? It seems that it is less than 10%. Well, even if it is 10%, counting this way, among the scholars who are aspiring to take the imperial examination, four of 1,000 can pass the imperial examination, and four of 10,000 can pass the imperial examination.

Think about the spring exam (comprehensive examination) every three years. There are only 300 entries for the spring exam, which means that the highest degree in the Ming Dynasty is only awarded to 100 outstanding scholars every year. This is the imperial examination system with millions of scholars who have the imperial examination as their lifelong goal. So many smart people are crowded on this narrow single-plank bridge, which is purely a waste of talent resources!

Although the boss of Chongzhen was unhappy, the spring exam this year had to proceed as usual. Juren from all over the country arrived in Nanjing one after another, preparing to compete for talents from all walks of life until the list of titles. Chongzhen thought it would be good. Since so many Juren came, brainwash them first. If you can't get into Jinshi, the Military Engineering Academy will open your door to all Juren at any time.

Therefore, Chongzhen personally directed a grand drama of commendation and awards for meritorious students of the Military Engineering Academy.

As you know, this is just a drama of "a thousand gold to buy horse bones". According to Ming Pao, the beloved emperor personally presented awards to the meritorious personnel of the Military Engineering Academy with injuries. As for the meritorious contributions, it was vague, and it was just an overview of the achievements made in the field of science and technology in the Ming Dynasty. Jie Xuan, Xiang Wenjun, Gu Naiwang, Wang Xichang and other students from the Military Engineering Academy made a splash in the grand award ceremony. Not only did Jie Xuan, Xiang Wenjun, Gu Naiwang, and Wang Xichang win 100 gold coins, but also specially granted the same Jinshi. What a glory! All meritorious students will win at least 20 silver coins. After the students without fame, they will also transform their identities and become scholars. If they have a scholar, they can be upgraded to Juren, which is enviable.

After Chongzhen awarded the award, he felt a little weak and felt like he was blowing a black whistle. Before the rules of the game were modified, he violated the current imperial examination system and issued a diploma indiscriminately. This was strictly a "black whistle", which was too unfair to other scholars who took the imperial examination. This would be attacked as "illegal procedure" in later generations. If it were in such a large football field, fans would boo and shout "black whistle". Fortunately, except for two censors who were not ignorant of the charm, there was no big wave. Chongzhen looked at the memorial, and it was nothing more than a strange and delicate skill and a sage way. The emperor should not blaspheme the sage. Chongzhen angrily threw the memorial aside and ignored him.

The award ceremony was indeed a psychological impact on the juren who came to take the exam. However, they had no time to take care of it. For the sake of the imperial examination, they focused on all their energy. Although the officials and people in Nanjing were surprised by the emperor's actions, their eyes were attracted, and they turned their heads and paid more attention to the spring examination.

Speaking of the investment promotion work of the Eighth Department of Investment Promotion, under the leadership of Zhu Tongyi, we work hard and achieve great results. Let’s talk about the gear project. In addition to Fatty Jia, a strong competitor, Zhu Shugui, the general of the royal family, has also joined the competition in this gear project. Soon, the gear factory led by Fatty Jia and the gear factory led by Zhu Shugui will officially open. Now we are recruiting troops and are preparing for all the matters to open the factory.

On this day, Fatty Jia and General Zhu Shugui of the State of the State both asked Zhu Tongyi to invite Gu Naiwang to the banquet. Zhu Shugui's seniority was higher than Zhu Tongyi, and Zhu Tongyi could not refuse. Fatty Jia was also a person who could be entangled. Besides, Zhu Tongyi didn't want to favor one or the other, so he had to bite the bullet and go to Gu Naiwang. Gu Naiwang was also in a hurry. He just won a huge prize and got a Jinshi for nothing. He also wanted to share it with others, but he didn't refuse now. It's just this guy's brain.

Guazi is a little stubborn, and on the grounds of limited time, he proposed to combine the banquets with the two families. He didn't care whether the banqueters on both sides were competitors or were not afraid of making taboos. Zhu Tongyi was a little amused and cried, thinking that this guy did such a good skill, why is the worldly style so unresponsive! Well, Gu Naiwang is popular now. As long as Zhu Shugui and Fatty Jia can sit together, and then invite Gu Naiwang to have a glass of wine, his mission will be completed.

Zhu Shugui is a royal family, not a petty person. Fatty Jia learned that the other party was a royal family, and this guy was very happy to get close to him. He could interact with anyone, so he naturally didn't care. Today, Zhu Tongyi specially invited Secretary-General Gu Yanwu to attend the banquet, so the person who was on the name of this banquet became Zhu Tongyi.

As usual, Gu Naiwang brought Jiang Shangyun and Zhu Zhongyun to the banquet. Since Jiang Shangyun participated in the election team, she has become accustomed to appearances and socializing. Zhu Zhongyun is also increasingly relaxed by Zhu Zhongmei. So someone behind her talked about Gu Naiwang, who is a man of good fortune, but Gu Naiwang doesn't understand the charm and just treats the two women as negotiating assistants, especially Jiang Shangyun. When she encounters such an occasion, she must not be missing. The three of them came to the Qingjianglou Restaurant, Gu Yanwu, Zhu Tongyi, Jia Fatty, and two strangers had arrived long ago.

Zhu Tongyi introduced Gu Naiwang that the youngest one was Zhu Shugui, and the middle-aged man who was a little fat was Lu Shiping, who came with Zhu Shugui.

In mid-February, the weather in Nanjing was still quite cold. Jiang Shangyun and Zhu Zhongyun both wore thick brocade robes. Fortunately, the copper tripod in the private room of Qingjiang Tower burned the charcoal furnace, adding a little warmth.

According to Jiang Shangyun's suggestion, he ordered the recently popular hot pot. Zhu Zhongyun only drank a little Xiangxue wine, so he chose Xiangxue wine.

Fatty Jia has always been a master of livening the atmosphere. When everyone sat down, Fatty Jia immediately started to cheer:

"I finally invited Gu Hanlin today, which is rare! Gu Hanlin needs to drink a few more drinks today and also express my feelings about Jia!"

Gu Naiwang still had the same kind of bad behavior, without a smile on his face, but he said it better:

"The emperor is kind to you, and the young student is fortunate to win the award. The young student is a little talented and shallow. He is grateful to the emperor for his grace. He is really ashamed! You are all well-educated people, and you are ashamed of yourself! Yesterday, the young student won a heavy prize. Today I am here to invite you to drink. Brother Jia, the host, should not compete with me."

In addition to receiving the emperor's heavy prize of 100 gold coins yesterday, Zheng Zhilong also rewarded the meritorious people related to shipbuilding. Gu Naiwang received an additional reward of 300 silver coins from Zheng's family, so it is reasonable to treat him.

Gu Yanwu was present, and when he saw Gu Naiwang, a young boy, actually sneaked into the ranks of Jinshi, he felt a little uneasy. He thought he was arrogant, but he failed the imperial examination many times. Although he is the secretary-general of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, he has no Jinshi status, and he always has the ability to roll his eyes from others, so he always feels resentful about this.

Lu Shiping also smiled and said:

"I am congratulating Gu Hanlin. I am really envious of Gu Hanlin. I passed the scholarship at the age of 20, but failed the provincial examinations in five consecutive days. Alas! I stopped the idea of ​​imperial examinations and turned to the family business. Haha, Gu Hanlin is a young Jinshi, and I admire him!"

When Gu Yanwu heard this, he felt a lot in his heart. In this era, he was not alone. The emperor didn’t always say that if he had done well in the eight-legged essay exam, it would not mean that he had the ability to govern the country! So he also said with a smile:

"I failed the exam many times, haha, it seems that I have to go to Gu's helper, maybe I can make some achievements. Next time the emperor is happy and will give me a Jinshi. Isn't that a wonderful thing?"

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

After Zhu Shugui laughed, he said:

"Secretary-General Gu was joking. Secretary-General Gu was very talented and failed many tests. As I see, as Zhang Dai's article in Ming Pao, the eight-legged article buried many talents! However, you are still lucky. At least you have the opportunity to take the imperial examination. It is our turn to be a royal family member. He cannot take the imperial examination and become an official. In the past, he could not do anything, so he could only do idle meals. Now he has finally let go, and we, the children of the royal family, have some hope."

Zhu Zhongyun immediately said:

"Now I'm very relaxed in the family's children! I don't even pursue the old affairs of the Tang King, and I'm still ordered to form the East China Sea Fishery Corps! In my opinion, the family members should have great potential."

Without a few words here, the dishes served in Qingjiang Tower were very fast, and the wine and food came up quickly. So everyone raised their glasses, and naturally the first thing was to cheer for the new Jinshi of Gu Naiwang.

Fatty Jia shouted:

"The title of the Golden List is a great joy in life. The ancient Jinshi is very happy today. He has to drink two more drinks no matter what!"

Gu Naiwang felt so happy. He drank three glasses of wine in a row, then glanced at Zhu Shugui, Zhu Tongyi and Zhu Zhongyun, and said:

"I am certainly worth celebrating today, but according to my opinion, the most worth celebrating is your royal family. The emperor lets go of the clan's children to business, politics, and military. I am "``I congratulate you, come, I wish you a glass of wine! Student Jiang, come, let's all three of them together."

When Jiang Shangyun heard this, he said that Gu Naiwang pointed to Zhu Shugui and Zhu Tongyi, and even Zhu Zhongyun was included. But it made sense when he thought about it, so he said:

"Team leader Gu said something very well. Since then, the children of the royal family have a place to use their skills. It's a pleasure to congratulate you. Come on! Drink and drink! Congratulations!"

Zhu Tongyi raised his neck and drank the wine in his glass and said:

"Our clans, like Uncle Gui, have become a model for our clans. I heard that nowadays, all the clans are eager to try and want to sign up for the Military Academy and Military Engineering Academy. This time, the emperor rewarded the Gu Jinshi a group of classmates, and I think the clans will be even more enthusiastic. Gu Jinshi said it well, the clans should work hard and become stronger when they have experienced this thousand-year-old opportunity. For the revival of the Ming Dynasty, my clans are at a time of great success."

Gu Yanwu smiled, stood up, raised his glass and said:

"Come on, today is the three joys. The first joy is that Gu won the title of Jinshi! The second joy is that two official-private joint ventures are established! The third joy is that the children of the royal family will be able to achieve great success! Cheers!"

"cheers!"
Chapter completed!
