Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 756 Crazy Scholars (Part [-])
"Don't be crowded, don't loot, don't make noise!" The yamen of Suzhou Prefecture was about to be overwhelmed by scholars from Suzhou City!They are all rushing to sign up and receive textbooks!
I don't know who spread the news secretly, because the number of applicants for the entrance examination of the Academy of Sciences last year was relatively small, and the first batch of new textbooks in the Yamen of Suzhou Prefecture was less than a hundred sets.Whoever registers in advance will be able to learn the content of the entrance examination of the Academy of Sciences in advance, and whoever will have a greater chance of becoming the top ten in the province and making it to the top!

The top ten provincial scholars, this title itself is enough to make countless literati compete for it!
Hundreds of students from Suzhou City went straight to the Yamen of Suzhou Prefecture to sign up immediately after the notice was posted!
Last year, the entrance examinations for the Jianghuai and Jiangsu-Zhejiang provinces of sciences held in Nanjing City had no more than 300 applicants.We must know that Jinshi from these two provinces accounted for a considerable proportion of the Ming court, and only 300 people participated, which shows that the preparations for the first assessment were insufficient.

On the one hand, the reason is that Chu Yun wanted to use the first batch of candidates as test subjects, and he was afraid that there would be cheating and corruption in any link, so he didn’t make a big publicity. They are all regarded as outliers by other scholars, and the scholars who signed up to participate in the assessment all signed up secretly.

Suzhou city was a rich place for literati in the late Ming Dynasty, but there were less than forty people who signed up last year.But this year, the Nine Provinces Army stepped up its efforts in publicity and rewards, which immediately caused the Suzhou city scholars to fly into the flames. The number exceeded 400, and the number continued to rise in a straight line!
"Line up for me and come one by one. Anyone who disturbs the order of the government office will be disqualified from the entrance examination of the Academy of Sciences forever!" Suzhou government used hundreds of government officials and arresters to maintain order.

Hearing that they would be disqualified from the assessment, the crazy scholars restrained themselves and formed a long queue driven by the yamen servants and head catchers.The queue extended from the government office, through the streets and alleys, until it reached Caishikou.

"Master, I heard that the first batch of textbooks is limited. I think there are two to three hundred people in front of me. I'm afraid it won't be my turn... I am eager to learn, please accommodate me." A scholar in the middle saw A man who looked like the captain of the police came over, so he took out a piece of silver from his pocket, and wanted to stuff it into the chief of the police.

"You are a scholar who can do nothing else. You are good at bribing your superiors, but I want to warn you that if you do this in the future, you will be disqualified forever!"

The leader of the catch is none other than Lu Zhiyu, the chief soldier of Suzhou.He knew that he continued to investigate the "assassination of envoys" just because Chu Yun asked him to put on a show, and the prisoners had already returned to their places, so he had nothing to do, so he changed into the clothes of a headhunter to help the yamen maintain law and order.

The scholar shuddered after hearing this, and was too ashamed to look at Lu Zhiyu again.

"Damn, these scholars were dying a few days ago. They talked about restoring stereotyped essays, and now they are trying to get into the Academy of Sciences. As expected, they are mothers if they have milk." If you want to enter the Academy of Sciences, you can't help but curse secretly.

The Suzhou government office may have never been so lively. This is the second time in a month that the Suzhou government government has caused trouble. The last time it was a fight between the citizens and the scholar class. This time it was the scholars themselves scrambling to enroll in the Academy of Sciences. assessment.

For a while, the Academy of Sciences entrance exam became a new topic of discussion among scholars in Suzhou City. As for Qian Qianyi and other people still in prison, they seemed to be forgotten intentionally or unintentionally...

"According to the command of the military lord, only one hundred places will be opened in Suzhou City this time, and only one hundred sets of textbooks will be distributed." The prefect of Suzhou came to see Chu Yun and reported the progress to Chu Yun. Going crazy."

"Isn't this just right? Rare things are more expensive, and they will not be so active if they are given too many places. This is called 'hunger marketing'." Chu Yun picked up a piece of Soviet-style square cake and put it in his mouth very calmly.

After arriving in Suzhou, while arresting people, Chu Yun ate all the delicacies of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and felt quite happy to miss Sichuan.

"In the future, an additional batch of quotas will be released every half month. If they realize that the quotas are hard-won, they will cherish this opportunity even more, understand?" Chu Yun tasted the taste of Jiangnan pastries carefully, He said to the prefect of Suzhou again.

"I understand." The prefect of Suzhou said.

"How are the prisoners in the prison?" Chu Yun asked.

"Now they are arguing again, saying that we deliberately want to make them tortured before they are executed, and they also demand a quick execution. The officials are afraid that if this goes on, some people will go crazy, and some people will go crazy. Suicide in prison. Should we explain to them that they will not be executed?" Suzhou prefect asked.

"Did you know that the most painful punishment in this world is not the death penalty? It's the torment of waiting for the death penalty." Chu Yun said.

"That's true. Their overreaction is understandable," said the prefect of Suzhou.

"Okay, since Jiangnan scholars are all focused on the entrance examination for the Academy of Sciences in October this year, we can finally deal with these prisoners. But before I finally deal with them, I have to go to the prison to meet them in person. The front door has been blocked by the scholars who signed up, you call Lu Zhiyu, just the two of you, and wait for me at the back door of the government office." Chu Yun put down his chopsticks.

"Yes." Seeing that Chu Yun wanted to meet the prisoners in person, the prefect of Suzhou quickly got up to find Lu Zhiyu.

"Yu Cheng, get ready, let's go see the results of this trip." Chu Yun got up, but no one responded to him.

"Master, you asked Yu Cheng to protect Xiao Xiu'er and Goya to go to Hangzhou to find their former residence yesterday, did you forget? This time I will take the dead men from the intelligence department to protect you and go to the Suzhou prison. These prisoners are still from our intelligence. I can't stay out of it." When Aila appeared in front of Chu Yun, she changed into a neat military uniform, which made Chu Yun's eyes shine.

It has to be said that Ella, who was born in the navy, is more suitable for a straight military uniform, which outlines a well-proportioned figure.This time, she participated in the case as the head of the Kyushu Army's intelligence department.

"These people who want to rebel really make people want to kill them directly." After Chu Yun gained the power of life and death, he can somewhat feel the psychology of those tyrants, "But I have to learn to be patient, and I have to learn from feudalism. It's hard to come out of society. Let's go, it's time to face the conspirators, I wonder how they will react when they see me."
