Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 138 Hongwu 15 Years 【For further reading】

In the end, only Si Yongyi chose to return to the mountain gate.

Both Zhang Normal and Ping'an remained in the Academy of Sciences. They passed on the positions of masters of Longhu Mountain and Gezao Mountain to their disciples, and they were willing to stay in the Academy of Sciences.

In this regard, Zhu Biao did not treat them badly.

At the same time, he made an internal rating for the Academy of Sciences. Its official title is called a Bachelor of Science, and its rank is equal to that of the Hanlin Bachelor of the Imperial Academy.They are all five grades.

And if you are willing to be transferred as an official, you can also go out to serve as a party member.

Its treatment is also the same as that of Hanlin Bachelor.

Of course, in the current Ming Dynasty, no matter whether it is a Hanlin bachelor or a science bachelor, it is impossible to directly serve as the top leader when they go out to serve as officials.

In addition to the bachelor's degree, the Academy of Sciences also has the position of academician of the third rank, and the position of dean of the second rank.

Since then, the Academy of Sciences has even surpassed the Hanlin Academy in terms of official rank alone, and is on par with the six departments.

Both Zhang Normal and Ping An are the first academicians of the Academy of Sciences.

Although there is a gap between the level and the celestial masters of the second rank, this is a real power official. If it is placed in a place, it can really guard one side.

It is completely different from the false title of a second-rank celestial master.

At the same time, along with the reform of the Academy of Sciences, there are also schools at all levels under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. In addition to studying a subset of classics and history, a new subject of science is added.

Zhu Biao has been planning this reform for several years, and the preparatory work has been done. Now taking advantage of the internal reform of the Academy of Sciences, it can be said that it is a matter of course.

From now on, if students of social studies, county schools, and prefectural schools want to pass the assessment, they must pass the science credits.

On the other hand, Daoism at the next level is subject to separate examinations. Literature and science are tested separately and admitted separately. Those who pass the examination are collectively called Jinshi.

Excellent science Jinshi can even directly enter the Academy of Sciences.

And even those who can’t get into the Academy of Sciences don’t have to worry, they will be assigned to various places to become grassroots officials just like Liberal Arts Scholars.

This reform is not insignificant, and even if it was placed in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it would have been earth-shaking and earthquake-level.

Because this is tantamount to dividing the opportunities for all officials who pass the imperial examination to become officials.

However, this decree was implemented very smoothly, and officials at all levels cooperated quite well, and there were no disturbances during the whole process.

This made all the follow-up plans made by Zhu Biao come to nothing.

Originally, he planned to kill a group of people violently to boost up the majesty of the imperial court!
After investigation, he realized that the reason why most officials could easily accept such reforms was because of Lao Zhu, who had not shown his face for a long time.

In the past few years, these officials were killed too hard by Lao Zhu.

It has just been two years of comfortable life for the crown prince to supervise the country, and everyone does not hope that Lao Zhu will come back so soon.

If Lao Zhu came back in a fit of rage to continue to govern because of some mistake, then [-]% of the officials in the world would probably have a chill in their necks.

After all, this New Deal was promoted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

History has fully demonstrated that those who dare to contradict Lao Zhu may still be able to survive, but if they dare to confront His Highness the Crown Prince, there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat.

Lao Zhu is very protective of the calf.

After figuring out the reason, Zhu Biao couldn't laugh or cry.

Co-author Lao Zhu has not shown up for several years, and it can also provide him with great help!

This power is really no one.

Hongwu 15 years.

In the original history, this year was an extremely special year.

Empress Ma fell ill and died this year.

The only person who could stop Zhu Yuanzhang from killing people died, which made Zhu Yuanzhang distraught, and he has become more and more brutal since then.

The killing also became more and more violent.

Zhu Biao now feels that the reason why Lao Zhu acted like this is because of his growing sense of insecurity.

As he got older, he felt more and more powerless to control this huge empire, so he could only scare everyone by killing people.

And now, it is also the 15th year of Hongwu.

But this year passed smoothly, Empress Ma was healthy and healthy, Zhu Yuanzhang still felt that he was in his prime, and Zhu Biao supervised the country's reform and education progressed smoothly.

The entire Ming Empire is thriving and getting better every day.

This made Zhu Biao feel for the first time a great sense of accomplishment that history has been truly changed by him.

"Your Highness!"

"There's good news!" Zhu Biao, who was acting as an agent for government affairs in Xumi Fantasy Realm, couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this voice. When he raised his head, he saw a tall, strong, dark-faced man wearing a brocade uniform and guard uniform, walking in quickly. .

This is Jiang Yu, who is currently the Tongzhi of Jinyiwei from the third rank.

In the original history, this was the second Jinyiwei commander after Mao Xiang. It was he who set off the Lanyu case, implicated the first prince, the thirteen princes, and the second uncle, and even punished 5000 people from the Zuo clan. Almost wiped out all the generals who conquered the world.

Of course, his fate was the same as that of Mao Xiang in the end. In the end, he was regarded as Lanyu's party and was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, which brought a successful conclusion to the Lanyu case.

Now these things are naturally impossible to happen again.

But the people who were supposed to shine will not be buried just yet.

This is true for Lan Yu, and it is also true for this Jiang Yu.

Today's Jinyiwei is getting bigger and bigger, and the internal competition is getting more intense. There are several who can threaten Mao Xiang's position as the commander of Jinyiwei. This Jiang Yu is definitely the strongest one among them.

This person is very strong in martial arts, and he is also a ninth-rank martial artist now, and he has just broken through the No. 14 floor of the Wusheng Tower. He can be regarded as a rare rising star in Jinyiwei.

Moreover, this person has first-class ability in handling affairs, and he has done extremely well what Zhu Biao has ordered him to do several times, which suits Zhu Biao's wishes very well.

"See Your Highness, Your Highness asked me to look for the guano island, and I found it!"

"How far is it from my Daming?" Zhu Biao was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked.

"There are two in the South China Sea, and many more out in the sea."

"Weichen brought the map, Your Highness can check it carefully!" Jiang Yu said.

Zhu Biao took the map and checked it one by one, and soon he saw the guano island that was famous in the past and located near South America.

It is said that the bird droppings are piled up there like a mountain, and the small country that occupies that small island doesn't have to do anything, just sell the bird droppings to live comfortably for a lifetime.

"Is there anyone on that island now?" Zhu Biao asked.

"No, they are all seabirds and some sea beasts!" Jiang Yu said.

"Very well, now the ownership of these guano islands is Daming." Zhu Biao laughed.

These bird droppings are the highest quality fertilizers, which are indispensable if you want to increase the yield per mu before chemical fertilizers can't be mass-produced.

With guano, coupled with the improved species just researched by the Academy of Sciences, the two things are promoted at the same time, and the entire Ming Dynasty no longer has to worry about food.

"I have newly established a fleet of official steamships, and at the same time recruited a large number of workers to carry bird droppings from overseas to Daming and make them into fertilizer for sale."

"When the time comes, you will have to lead them the way." Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"Follow His Highness's will!" Jiang Yu said.

"Okay. You have made a great contribution this time, go down and receive the reward!" Zhu Biao said with satisfaction.

In the future, Jinyiwei may expand again, and its powers will be subdivided again.

Zhu Yuanzhang had mentioned to him that Mao Xiang would always be by his side in the future, and his main energy would be on conquering other worlds, while this world needed to find another suitable commander of Jinyiwei.

Zhu Biao felt that Jiang Yu was very suitable.

Sitting at the table and pondering for a while, Zhu Biao suddenly said: "Go and inform the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion and all the sons of the meritorious families that His Highness will treat guests to Linxian Pavilion tomorrow, so that they must all be there. They asked why, and told them that His Highness has a fortune to give to everyone."

"Of order!" Someone replied, and then there was no more sound.

The business of guano is huge, and it has been profitable for a long time.

Only relying on the words of the imperial court, the effect is too slow.

Instead of leaking the news to those folk gentry and letting them earn this money, it is better to give it to these old brothers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world.

To be honest, these people are basically from mud-legged backgrounds like Lao Zhu, and belong to the newly rich class.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very talented and flourished as the emperor, but these people are different.

When it comes to marching and fighting, they are naturally veterans, but when it comes to managing the family, they are not as capable as Old Zhu.

According to Zhu Biao's knowledge, there are several honorable families who can't gather money because of poor family management. In addition, they spend money like water, and now even supporting their families is almost a problem.

There were even several generals who licked their faces and asked Lao Zhu to borrow money.

As a result, he was scolded by Lao Zhu, and then Empress Ma invited the female relatives of their families into the palace and secretly gave them a sum of money.

When talking about these people with Zhu Biao, the appearance of Lao Zhu hating iron and steel is from the bottom of his heart.

But as the emperor, it is impossible for him to teach these people how to run a family, let alone teach them how to make money.

After all, Lao Zhu didn't know anything about making money.

There are many such generals in the Ming Dynasty today, and Zhu Biao knows that if he ignores them, there will be disasters in the long run.

Now because the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate led by Liu Ji are staring at them like hungry wolves, and the war has just stopped for a few years, they still have some spare money in their hands, and they don't dare to stretch out their hands.

If they wait until they really have no money, these people who have been decisive and bold all their lives will definitely be corrupt and pervert the law like in history, and use their power to plunder.

At that time, you don't need to think about it to know that Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely kill.

This is not what Zhu Biao wants to see, and it will indeed chill the hearts of those generals.

And if part of the guano business is given up to them, everyone will be happy.

When the time comes when you have money in your hands, you will naturally not have to engage in corruption and bribery.

This will also allow the generals who followed Lao Zhu to fight in different worlds to have no worries.

Of course, if you do this by yourself, there are still people who dare to be greedy, then don't blame Zhu Biao for being cruel.

Under the supervision of the current Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhu Biao believes that no matter who dares to reach out for corruption, 100% of them will be caught.
