Iron blood Suiming

() Half a month later, Cheng Jiming was reinstated by Chongzhen as Minister of the Ministry of Rites and served as the first assistant minister of the cabinet. At this time, Chongzhen had long regretted the Yuan Chonghuan case, but he could not announce it. All the accounts were turned over, and all signs showed that Yuan Chonghuan was framed by Wen Tiren back then, and it was an unjust case.

But if you are wrong, you are wrong. This matter involves a lot. If the Yuan case is vindicated, I am afraid that a group of ministers will be imprisoned. This makes Chongzhen, who has just arrested the ministers of the Wen case, very embarrassed. In the end, he can only knock out his teeth. And blood swallowed into the stomach, the emperor admitted.

Cheng Jiming was already seriously ill at this time. He didn't want to go to Beijing to be an official again. He was afraid that he would not die in his hometown in the future. However, Emperor Chongzhen sent Wang Chengen to deliver the decree in person. Cheng Jiming knew that he could not refuse, so he could only struggle with his sick body into the cabinet.

At this time, there was chaos in Beijing, whether it was intentional or unintentional, both the government and the public ignored the traitor Li Guo, Lingshan Wei, and the ministers did not mention it, and the new chief assistant did not mention it. Even Emperor Chongzhen seemed to give this traitor to him. forgotten.

Until two months later, Li Jianguo presided over the first imperial examination in Lingshanwei.This imperial examination is simply unprecedented and unprecedented, and its impact is far-reaching and unimaginable.

In fact, the form of the examination is very simple. For example, when Li Jianguo wanted to appoint a county magistrate, he did not test the Four Books and Five Classics, nor did he test poetry and songs. Education; three, farming and mulberry; four, taxation.

The examiners are also very special. There are two groups of examiners. The first group is administrative and educational. A total of 13 people, including Xuezheng, professors, disciplines, and teachings, who were captured in various prefectures and counties, are the examiners. Each person has one vote. Satisfactory or below is unqualified, seven to eight people think satisfactory is qualified, nine to ten people are excellent, 11 to 13 people are excellent, and [-] people are full excellent.

For the second batch of farming, mulberry and taxation, the people in the place where they are appointed will self-select 13 people as examiners, and the judgment criteria are the same as above.

Only the content of the examination is different. Most of the administrative examinations are document processing, criminal cases, civil cases, public security, etc., and the words should be convincing;

Education is about how to encourage learning, excellent learning, etc.; Nongsang is about whether you are proficient in farming, how to increase food production, etc.; taxation is about arithmetic, how to collect taxes, how to deal with tax resistance, and how to collect taxes Be fair and just.

All in all, all the exams are practical, if he fails one of these four, then he will never be able to become a county magistrate.

Li Jianguo would not let a book nerd who only knows the Four Books and Five Classics be a county magistrate.As soon as the examination method was announced, the scholars who came to Lingshanwei who wanted to speculate were full of enthusiasm. They thought that it was the same as the imperial examination in the court, and the test was the Four Books and Five Classics. Literate people came to be the examiners, which disappointed a large number of scholars.

Scholars in the Ming Dynasty were very tough, they dared to scold even the emperor, not even a small commander. At that moment, some people uttered nonsense in public, saying that Li Guo was the number one thief in the past and present, and he was arbitrarily good at it. Changing the ancestral system is actually born of a villain....The viciousness of his words is as vicious as that of Gui Gong in the brothel, and there are a large group of scholars who are equally vicious to accompany him.

Li Kaihui will eat this set?The emperors of the Ming Dynasty endured it, but they were afraid of offending scholars and shaking the foundation of the country.What is Li Jianguo afraid of?He was not afraid of anything, so he immediately dispatched soldiers to take down all the scholars present. Anyone who spoke rudely and made fun of him was stripped naked and paraded around the street on a cross wooden cart. In order to humiliate him, he was afraid that someone would bite his tongue , and stuffed the mouth with rotten cloth.

All the scholars who paraded the streets once a day, and the rest of the time they were placed at the gate of the fort for everyone to watch.Countless people don't bother with the stink, and come to watch how the scholars are shitting and pissing.

However, everyone who has seen it is disappointed and finds it disgusting. Scholars are just like them, and their excrement and urine are also smelly, no different from ordinary people.

There are also good people who actually start a bet on the spot, betting that when someone can't bear it, he will defecate in public.After being informed by Li Jianguo, all the gamblers were taken down, stripped naked, and punished with those scholars.

Scholars in the Ming Dynasty were not afraid of beheading. If they were beheaded by the emperor himself, they would die of joy and hope to leave their names in history.But they were afraid of losing their reputation. Li Jianguo was too ruthless. He directly linked the reputation of those scholars with their excrement. ..., not to mention that he can't hold his head up, future generations will be implicated by him.

Li Jianguo didn't kill them, he just showed them to the public for ten days, and then released them. One of the 23 scholars went crazy after being released, thirteen hit the wall and died on the spot, and nine ran away. Their hometown is gone, and they dare not use their original names to live in the world anymore. What happened in these ten days will be a shadow of their whole life.

Li Jianguo's move directly made most of the scholars who came to Lingshanwei go away, and other scholars who originally wanted to come to Lingshanwei were also hesitant and did not dare to come.But after all, there are still half of them left. These are really ambitious scholars. Many of them passed the exam set by Li Kaiguo and were enriched in all aspects by him.

The resistance to development due to lack of talents has temporarily disappeared, and Lingshanwei has entered a period of rapid development.

The strange thing is that no matter what famous tricks Li Kaiguo made in Lingshanwei, the ministers and emperors in the capital are like deaf and blind people, and they don't care at all.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the imperial court didn't take Li Kaiguo seriously at all. Compared with the refugee army, Li Jianguo didn't even have a scabies disease.Another point is that Li Kaiguo never publicly and formally stated his disobedience, and he always regarded himself as a Ming official, which became a fig leaf for the court. thing.

Chongzhen is devoting himself to the encirclement and suppression of Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, and Li Zicheng. He promotes Chen Qiyu as the governor of military affairs in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan.

For a while, the imperial court spent money like running water, and the whole court was devastated. There was still Lingshanwei, which was in a remote village near the sea, to be considered.Li Jianguo knew about this, even if he knew, he didn't care too much, but followed his own calculation step by step.

He drastically disrupted and rebuilt the administration of Lingshanwei, Gaomi, and Jiaozhou prefectures, and planned to expand the army to [-].And day and night to develop and improve the production of firearms.Because Lingshanwei was near the sea, he managed to find a group of craftsmen who could build ships.But it took a long time to build a boat, so he couldn't wait, so he went out to buy some boats.

Just when everyone thought that Shandong would be stable like this, Li Kaiguo suddenly led his troops out of Lingshanwei. What was he going to do?He was going to collect the protection fee, and one month had expired, and he hadn't even received a tael of protection fee, and if he didn't receive any income, Lingshanwei might be in trouble.
