Jinyi champion

Chapter 634

Hearing this, Tang Yin nodded repeatedly.

"Hearing what you said, even I want to put you back in the Hanlin Academy, so that you can study in peace for ten years, and don't let you interfere with the affairs of the court... But is it useful? Cut!"

Tang Yin was just joking, he knew that Zhu Hao was indispensable to the new emperor's power now.

If Zhu Si had just ascended the throne, it would have been fine without Zhu Hao, but now that there is such a military adviser who can count on everything, why not use it?

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "So, Mr. Tang and Mr. Sun are actually kind to me... We don't discuss this issue. Mr. said before, help me contact the craftsmen in Jiangnan, do you have any clues now?"

What Zhu Hao lacks most now is a skilled craftsman.

There are quite a few in the Ministry of Industry, but with Zhu Hao's current qualifications, he is not qualified to use the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry.

Tang Yin, as a member of the Ministry of Industry, did not have the ability to mobilize the artisans of the Ministry of Industry, because his official position was only added to the system and could not interfere with the affairs of the original system.

Now it is necessary to open mines, smelt iron and steel, improve steam engines, and build ships and firearms in the future. All these require the support of a large number of craftsmen.

One good thing about Wuzhong is that there are many talented people.

The more stable and prosperous the place, the more craftsmen proficient in strange skills will be born. This is due to social needs. If it is changed to the north, the craftsmen are more masons and carpenters who pay attention to opening and closing. In a place where disasters often occur... It is difficult for artisans to survive, so that as the society gradually stabilized in the Ming Dynasty, a large number of artisans began to migrate to Jiangnan for a generation.

Now that Tang Yin has made certain achievements in the court, he can help the new emperor recruit some craftsmen through his background in Wuzhong.

Su Xigui was also doing it before, but after all, Su Xigui is a merchant who made his fortune in Jiangxi and the two lakes. His foundation is still shallow, and it is difficult to recruit top craftsmen, because many of those craftsmen belong to wealthy families. Others let go.

"almost."

Tang Yin replied, "There are already more than a dozen people who have been invited to the capital. Just take out the glazed vessels you made, and let them feel that they have a lot to do, so they will go north. Let them learn your skills, I'm afraid you..."

What Tang Yin meant was that people came to the capital to try their luck because they liked your skills.

Don’t just want to keep them if you don’t give them skills, or turn around and let them learn your skills. If you refuse to let them go, you will regret it later.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Liuli is not a precious thing. The times are going to develop, how can I cherish it with a broom? Don't worry, since I invite them here, I will teach them all. I'm afraid they won't be able to learn... or comprehend. less than the essence of it.”

Zhu Hao asked these craftsmen to help him improve his technique.

After all, Zhu Hao himself is not from an engineering background. Many things seem to have ready-made templates, but the biggest problem is that it is difficult to invest too much time and energy.

As an official in the court and the most important staff in front of the emperor, Zhu Hao simply couldn't devote all his energy to experimenting and improving technology. For a simple steam engine, Zhu Haoguang spent two days on sealing it. It has been improved over the years, but the effect is still not very satisfactory.

Relying on one person to change the times... is always too idealistic.

Tang Yindao: "The first batch of people may arrive in three or two days. Then I will ask Zheng Zhong to help you contact him. He also wants to get an official position recently. You can meet him when you have time..."

Zhengzhong is Wen Zhengming...

Wen Zhengming, Tang Yin's former brother and sister, has not yet found a good way out. How can a talented scholar make a name for himself in the capital?
Now Wen Zhengming is probably wholeheartedly following Tang Yin.

……

……

Tang Yin set foot on the road to the west mountain the next day.

This trip will probably take another half a month.

Later, Wen Zhengming took the initiative to visit Zhu Hao, and got Tang Yin's suggestion. Although Wen Zhengming didn't know Zhu Hao's role in the new emperor's system, he also knew that this little champion had a great background and might be the person who changed his life. So Wen Zhengming was very polite when he saw Zhu Hao.

"Mr. Wen, you are my teacher's friend, you are my teacher, you don't have to be so polite."

Zhu Hao greeted Wen Zhengming with a smile.

Wen Zhengming hurriedly cupped his hands: "Where, where, the next lowly Confucian, how can he compare with Master Zhu?"

When it comes to the ability to flatter people, Wen Zhengming really has a way.

Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, "adults" generally referred to parents, uncles and other elders. Only in the Yuan Dynasty and later dynasties did officials gradually appear to be called "adults". For "adult".Zhu Haoxin said, you, Wen Zhengming, are the first one to address yourself as "adult".

But the problem is that Wen Zhengming has integrity in history. He refused King Ning's call and had a unique vision. At least he is better than Tang Yin...Zhu Hao always felt that it was not because Tang Yin was unaware of King Ning's ambitions before he was called. Going to Jiangxi is more about beauty than anything else, maybe it was because Lou Suzhen blinded her eyes.

This is probably also the reason why Tang Yin was very coy when he saw Lou Suzhen later, or even when he saw the woman he liked.

Does it count as being bitten by a snake for ten years and being afraid of well ropes?
Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Wen, you are being polite. Today is just a routine meeting. We have an appointment. If you have something to do later, just send someone to inform you...Mr. Tang said that in a few days, Jiangnan craftsmen will come to the capital. Mr. Wang Wen Referral."

"Yes, yes."

Wen Zheng was obviously pleased.

Not only did he work for Tang Yin, but he also got in touch with the people in front of the new emperor.

Compared with the intrigue between North Korean and Chinese officials, Wen Zhengming only cares about his own career prospects, so Zhu Hao doesn't have to worry about him going out and talking nonsense.

No one would care about such a "little person".

Although Wen Zhengming's status in the literary world is not low, but in the officialdom, Wen Zhengming is not even a fart. He may still have a little social status after passing the exam. What can a student do?

If you want to be a teacher, you won't even be able to enter the doors of those rich and powerful families.

……

……

Zhu Hao left contact information for Wen Zhengming.

Now Zhu Hao gave Wen Zhengming the identity of a liaison, recruiting as many scholars and craftsmen from Jiangnan as possible for his own use.

Tang Yin and Wen Zhengming can't do anything else, but their appeal in the literary world is not bad.

There are not a few down-and-out scholars in Jiangnan like Tang and Wen. They are depressed and frustrated. There are many scholars in Jiangnan. He claims to be a literati, but he is thousands of miles away from the gentry class.

These people's hearts are higher than the sky, but their lives are thinner than paper.

They are all scholars with their eyes above the top. Originally, even if they pass the examinations or become Jinshi, they may not have a good prospect for official career.

But now Zhu Hao has given them a shortcut, they can go to the capital to embark on official careers.

Zhu Hao saw Sun Ru again.

Sun Ru still looked like a fool, and when he saw Zhu Hao, he complained: "Sir, you asked me to make more friends in the Guozijian, what's the use? The official position in the court is like a carrot and a pit. If the people I introduce have If I have the opportunity to become an official, why am I still messing around in the Imperial College?"

Zhu Hao not only used Tang Yin's appeal to recruit scholars from Jiangnan, but also tried to find talents from the Imperial College.

It is impossible to count on Sun Ru, a fool, and rely more on Gongsun Yi for this matter.

But to a certain extent, the abilities of Gongsun Yi and Sun Ru are almost the same. They are not the kind of great talents who are extremely charismatic and can make others willingly surrender and use them. They are far inferior to Tang Yin and Wen Zhengming in terms of appeal. celebrities.

Zhu Haodao: "The orthodox official vacancies are naturally not their turn, but who knows if there will be more official vacancies in the imperial court that have never existed before?"

"What do you mean, sir?"

Sun Ru was very confused, "From what you said, sir, you want to start a small court by yourself in the future?"

"Let's take it as it is, do you have an opinion?"

Zhu Hao stared at Sun Ru.

Sun Ru lost his temper immediately.

Zhu Hao gave the kid a cold look.

In fact, Zhu Hao is not perfunctory or deceitful, his original intention is to open a "court".

To change the era, new official positions must be established in the court.

Mines, smelters, large-scale workshops, shipyards, firearms yards... These not only need craftsmen, but also administrative and management personnel. If Zhu Hao really has the opportunity to control these new yamen in the future, of course he needs to connect with the original system of the imperial court. Count on those Jinshi with traditional background?
Will they be happy?
Can these people work well after entering the new yamen?
In these new yamen, what is needed is not professional politicians, but a group of depressed scholars, the kind who can shine brightly if given a little sunshine, such as Wen Zhengming.

Let him see hope, if he does well in the new yamen, he will have the opportunity to enter the center of the imperial court and rise to a high position in the future. He will jump out of the framework of the imperial examination and find another way to rise. ideal.

Only this group of people would be willing to sacrifice their lives for Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao had mentioned this idea before Zhu Si became emperor, and received strong support from Zhu Si.

Now that Zhu Si is being suppressed by conservative old officials in the court, this gives Zhu Hao a good space to display.

Why did Zhu Hao plan to go around so that Yang Tinghe was so aggressive and rude to Zhu Si?

Why should the old minister be forced to use extreme measures?
It's not to help Zhu Si, but to create a dangerous and dangerous environment.

For example, when Zhu Hao planned to send Zhu Si to the capital as a hostage, only when Zhu Si fell into a state of isolation and helplessness would he know who was the best for him, and who to rely on. Suppression... It seems that Yang Tinghe has no choice but to do so, but it is more like Zhu Hao's design.

"Don't always go to spend time and drink, and don't think about those friends at the wine table."

Zhu Hao reminded Sun Ru, "Before summer, I will try to transfer you to a more practical job."

Sun Ru asked excitedly, "Do you want me to go to Dangzhi County?"

Zhu Hao was speechless: "Think beautifully! With your ability, can you be the king of a county?"

Sun Ru was aggrieved and a little disappointed, but then felt that what the husband said seemed to be right.

"Don't think about building a mansion by yourself, first think about what you can do, or work with your master, or be transferred to a yamen around the capital as a subordinate official, practice more..." Zhu Hao said.

Sun Ru faltered: "Sir, I will take the Jinshi exam next year..."

Zhu Hao picked up the teacup on the table and wanted to throw it at the boy, but Sun Ru immediately changed his words: "Is it okay for me to listen to Mr.? Sir...you are not as old as a student, so please save me some face in front of others." , or others will make fun of me again! As a disciple, you have to save face."
