The capital city Liulichang has become the main gathering place for scholars to participate in the palace examination. There are also a large number of guild halls here to entertain these scholars who are taking the exam.↗小,...o&1t;/p>

Local guild halls in the Ming Dynasty were very popular.&1t;/p>

Just after the palace examination, the scholars were very enthusiastic and went to the restaurant to have a group of people to have a party. The atmosphere was very warm. The scholars recited poems and talked about the wind and moon, and the atmosphere was naturally very warm and harmonious. However, a group of scholars gathered together, and they inevitably had to discuss current affairs, and soon ignited the powder barrel.&1t;/p>

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, our Ming Dynasty has been light on commercial taxes to benefit the people, and there is no precedent for levying high commercial taxes. Now the imperial court has charged commercial taxes in northern Zhili, which is a bad policy. If this continues, the people of northern Zhili may suffer!" A scholar from Jiangnan was drunk and his courage suddenly became strong and began to openly criticize current affairs. This is what they did in Jiangnan. When they were unhappy, they criticized current affairs and then felt relieved.&1t;/p>

"Brother, I'm afraid Taiwan is drunk! We have been in Beijing for so long, but have we ever seen a person who can't eat? It's really alarmist to impose commercial taxes." A scholar frowned and retorted.&1t;/p>

The complaining scholar looked like he was constipated on the spot, and he blushed for a while and said, "That's just that you haven't seen it. The Beizhili was ruined by the tax bureau."&1t;/p>

"Okay! Maybe I didn't see it below. But I saw that all industries in Zhili in the north are prospering, and the income of ordinary people is no less than that of Jiangnan. Even higher than that of Jiangnan. People in Zhili in the north have thirty knots of wages per day, while people in Jiangnan only have more than twenty knots of wages per day."&1t;/p>

"Yes. Since the reform in Beizhili, the people of Beizhili have been much better. So now, the people of the surrounding provinces have entered Beizhili to make a living. In terms of people's livelihood, Beizhili is getting better and better now."&1t;/p>

Many scholars expressed support for Zhu Youxiao's reform in Northern Zhili, but they obviously opposed it more, but they were short of words for a while and instead fell into a disadvantage.&1t;/p>

But there are always many eloquent people. Soon a scholar who opposes said, "This is just an appearance. The people in northern Zhili have a wage of thirty cents a day. However, the food in the north is more expensive than that in Jiangnan, and the prices of various goods are more expensive than in Jiangnan. On the surface, there are thirty cents, but in fact it is not as good as the people in Jiangnan."&1t;/p>

"The Jiangnan is a prosperous place in the world. In the past, Beizhili was naturally much worse than Jiangnan, but now people's livelihood is catching up with Jiangnan, which is the success of the reform. Moreover, the food price is that the people in Beizhili can buy affordable grain, which is lower than that in Jiangnan. The most important thing is that all industries in Beizhili are prosperous. The people have something to do. Compared with the previous situation of the declining of all industries in the north, it has been a huge change." A low-sized scholar stood up and said, "The most important thing is that Beizhili can now produce a large amount of steel, coal, cotton and other goods, and it has begun to export in large quantities. If this continues, people's livelihood will probably be out of Jiangnan sooner or later."&1t;/p>

"Absurd, all the goods in the world are fixed. Since Beizhili has more output, will the output of other provinces be unable to be sold? At that time, the people in other provinces have nothing to do and have not changed anything." A scholar who opposed the collection of commercial tax jumped out in a hurry, saying that it was a set of fallacies.&1t;/p>

"Brother, if there are too many goods, everyone can get more. Just like we planted a fruit tree, there were only ten fruits, so it would be insufficient to allocate them to the people present. If there are not enough, there will be conflicts. But this fruit tree has a hundred fruits, and it will be very enough to share them with the present. Isn't it great if everyone gets a few fruits? What is a fixed number? Is there anyone else to stipulate how many fruits you can only eat every day? How much food do you eat?" The short-sized scholar sneered.&1t;/p>

"This, this, this, this, but commercial tax was imposed. Merchants could have given benefits to the people, but now they are not profitable." The scholar stuttered for a long time and put up another statement.&1t;/p>

"Absurdly, most of the merchants in the world are doing business. How many of them will benefit the people? To put it bluntly, you merchants seem to want more fruits, so that our Ming Dynasty is not worried about being weak but not being equal. Today, Zi Shengming saw that there are too many fruits in the hands of merchants and too few fruits in the hands of the people, so that they have to collect the fruits. First collect the fruits and then evenly make the fruits so that the people of our Ming Dynasty can live and work in peace. This is the real strategy to benefit the country and the people."&1t;/p>

"It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. The different Taos do not plan with each other." The argued scholar shook his sleeves angrily and left the seat. When the other scholars who opposed the collection of commercial taxes saw the atmosphere, they really did different Taos do not plan with each other, and they left the seat one after another, but they were polite when they left the seat and bowed to the others.&1t;/p>

After a while, most of them left.&1t;/p>

The remaining group of scholars felt at ease. The atmosphere soon became warmer again. A scholar of thirty-five or six years old bowed to the not-tall scholar: "When Huang Zhoudao, my brother's analysis just now made me realize that he was a little bit big. Is it clear that my brother's surname is Gao?"&1t;/p>

"I dare not, I dare not, Brother Xian is praised, little brother Jiang Dejing." Jiang Dejing, who was not tall, quickly said modestly.&1t;/p>

"I heard from my accent, I am from the south? No wonder I know so well about the way of breeding." Huang Zhou said with a smile, and Jiang Dejing smiled and said, "I am from Quanzhou. I have indeed had a lot of contact with breeding since I was a child."&1t;/p>

Huang Zhoudao said at this time: "This palace examination, the first question is probably quite meaningful!"&1t;/p>

"The emperor's intention is already very obvious. I just don't know who can finish the first grade in high school." Jiang Dejing nodded and Huang Zhoudao said, "With his brother and talent, he might be the first grade in high school!"&1t;/p>

"Brother Xian praised Miao." Jiang Dejing was unsure. Who could know what the Tian family meant!&1t;/p>

A few days later, the results were finally released.&1t;/p>

The result was unexpected and unexpected. The more than 100 people who agreed to collect commercial tax were all ranked second. And the more than 300 scholars who did not agree to collect commercial tax were all ranked third.&1t;/p>

Three people in the first place, the top scorer Huang Zhoudao, the second scorer Jiang Dejing, and the Tanhua Sun Chuanting.&1t;/p>

I have to say that Zhu Youxiao was lucky and selected all three of the most important talents in the Renxu subject. Although Zhu Youxiao did not know Huang Zhoudao and Jiang Dejing, those who were familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty were definitely familiar with these two people.&1t;/p>

Huang Zhoudao was definitely a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. When Chongzhen first took office, he saw the nature of the Donglin Party and suggested that Chongzhen stay away from villains and be close to gentlemen. As a result, Chongzhen refused to listen. Huang Zhoudao had to resign from office and avoid the world. Later, Chongzhen became emperor for a long time, and finally the Donglin Party made the country messy. Only then did he think of Huang Zhoudao, so he recalled Huang Zhoudao again. However, at the imperial meeting, Huang Zhoudao had another dispute with Yang Sichang. Chongzhen spoke without choice and said that Huang Zhoudao had only one slander, which was too hurtful. Huang Zhoudao returned to the office this time.&1t;/p>

Later, all proved that Yang Sichang's suppression of wages and sects was the huge pit that dragged the Ming Dynasty into the abyss. A large number of people could not afford to pay additional sects, and they were urged by the government to rebel. The thieves became stronger and stronger, and the additional sects were not enough to eliminate the rebels who emerged like mushrooms after a rain.&1t;/p>

After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, Huang Zhoudao raised an army to resist. Although he was unwise to hit the stone with an egg, he was eventually captured by the Qing Dynasty and died bravely, but his integrity and character were admired.&1t;/p>

Compared with Lu Xiangsheng's general talent, Huang Zhoudao is obviously a talent who can see the situation clearly and truly govern the country. When this kind of talent grows up, just like an old minister like Yuan Keli, it is definitely a pillar of the stamina. Although Yuan Keli was the mainstay at this time, unfortunately he was old and he didn't have much time to do things for Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>

At this time, Huang Zhoudao, who was 36 years old, was still in his prime and could work for Zhu Youzhai for a long time.&1t;/p>

Huang Zhoudao was able to get into Zhu Youzao's legal eye, mainly because Huang Zhoudao answered the questions about the administration of officials and administration in the palace examination and proposed many feasible and valuable solutions. Therefore, Zhu Youzao was appointed as the top scorer in the 1st year.&1t;/p>

Jiang Dejing was able to enter Zhu Youxiao's eyes because he was very considerate in financial management and was outstanding among a group of Confucian scholars who were not good at financial management.&1t;/p>

In history, Jiang Dejing was indeed famous for his good financial management and paid attention to details. In the "Imperial Border Book" he compiled, the details of the number of new and old soldiers in the nine borders and 16 towns, as well as the details of the garrison, salt, civil movement, grain, and horse prices are all clearly written.&1t;/p>

This kind of attention to details requires employees to be the most popular employees among bosses.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao, who showed these two talents, selected them as the top scorer and the second place, while Lu Xiangsheng was selected as the Tanhua. Although he had the deepest impression of Lu Xiangsheng and had no impression of Huang Zhoudao and Jiang Dejing, there was no need to lift Lu Xiangsheng too high, too conspicuous and not very good.&1t;/p>

After the list was released, Huang Zhoudao, Jiang Dejing and Lu Xiangsheng were all unresponsive for a while. They obviously showed their psychological expectations that they could rank first.&1t;/p>

What they didn't expect was that on the day the results were released, Zhu Youxiao invited all the Jinshis of the second grade or above to the palace for a banquet.&1t;/p>

As for those three-level Jinshi, stay wherever you are cool!&1t;/p>

At this banquet, Zhu Youxiao warmly welcomed these hundreds of scholars, all of whom were new ‘employees’ who were ideologically in line with their hearts. As the boss, he naturally had to hold a banquet as a meeting.&1t;/p>

After a banquet, these scholars only felt that the emperor was approachable and kind to others, without the arrogance and frivolity of young people.&1t;/p>

The banquet ended for more than half an hour. When a group of scholars walked out of the palace, they couldn't help but sigh.&1t;/p>

"I met the Lord today and I am truly a wise king. It is a blessing to be able to assist the Lord today!"&1t;/p>

"Yes! Yes! Although the emperor is only considered to be a young man, he is very good at governing, treating people and his mind." Sun Zhixie, who had just won the second grade, even more bragging about Zhu Youxiao when he walked out of the palace.&1t;/p>

It has to be said that Sun Zhixie, a scum who has been shaved in history, has become a fish that missed the net in this imperial examination. It is obvious that Zhu You proofreads this number of characters, and his performance in the palace examination can only be considered as the upper-middle and upper-middle. The ideology is right, so he won the second-level and upper-middle ranking.&1t;/p>

But from the perspective of the emperor, Sun Zhixie was obviously a good dog. In history, Sun Zhixie became the so-called eunuch party because he catered to the emperor's taste during the Tianqi period. When Emperor Tianqi died and Chongzhen came to power, he wanted to destroy the "Three Dynasties Meeting Date". Among the ministers, only Sun Zhixie cried and fought. It can be said that he was originally a not bad official and had a bit of conscience.&1t;/p>

"Three Dynasties Meeting" was created by Emperor Tianqi and summed up the things of the three major cases at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The specific content was corrected. It is normal for the Donglin Party to ban the destruction after it took over. Sun Zhixie jumped out and cried and fought alone, and in the end, he became a burial object, was dismissed from his post and returned to his hometown, and he will no longer be hired.&1t;/p>

Perhaps he had seen through the Ming Dynasty and was completely accused of being a "eunuch party". He simply gave up and catered to the Qing Dynasty. Even if Sun Zhixie didn't do this, someone would eventually do it. It was just that he started his head, so everyone turned the blame on Sun Zhixie. Those Ming Dynasty officials who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty finally shaved their heads one by one. (To be continued...)&1t;/p>
