Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 407: Convincing the People

"Are you a scholar?"

Zhu Ping thought that the leader of the Dan people would be a dark-skinned, strong man dressed like a fisherman.

Unexpectedly, the other party was a little bow-legged.

The clothes and etiquette are almost the same as those of scholars.

The leader of the Dan ethnic group, who called himself Liu Baisheng, heard Zhu Fang's surprised question.

He subconsciously tidied up the Confucian clothes that he had not yet put on, then sighed and said: "Reporting to His Highness the King of Qin, the common people have read the Four Books and Five Classics when they were young."

"Then under my father's arrangement, I went from being a child student to a scholar under my own name."

"It's a pity that I was accidentally discovered by my classmates, and in the end I had to escape to the boat in embarrassment."

If the craftsmen and merchants are just of low status, if they encounter a chance to change their fate, they will be able to change their fate.

If you can still be promoted and obtain the qualifications by relying on the imperial examination.

So if Dan people want to take part in the imperial examination, they have no choice but to pretend to be one.

Zhu Ping didn't care, this person had violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

On the contrary, he was a little surprised. Since the leader of the Dan tribe was a scholar who had passed the imperial examination, there would be no misunderstandings due to different ideas during communication.

Zhu Fang went straight to the point: "I, Liu Xiucai, are here to read out to you my father's imperial edict to elevate your status."

"From now on, Dan people will have the same opportunity to pass the imperial examinations as scholars and peasants."

Although Zhu Xi is here to recruit sailors.

But who told this patriarch to be a scholar?

He could only emphasize that Dan people would no longer be restricted by their status and would not be able to take the imperial examination.

However, Liu Baisheng's eyes were full of joy and excitement.

But he actually held back and asked Zhu Ping if the court would recognize him as a scholar.

Instead, he became concerned about the navy: "Your Highness, King Qin, the people are fishing all day long, and there are very few like me who can read."

"If you want to take the imperial examination, you have to wait at least five years."

"But today's young people no longer have the opportunity or ability to learn."

"So I want to know, after they become the navy you call them, will they still be able to see their children step into the imperial examination room?"

Liu Baisheng had actually figured out the purpose of Zhu Xi's visit from the captain who just came to shout.

He realized that this was the only chance for the Dan people to stop being bullied in the future.

But having read the book, he also knew very well that this kind of life-changing benefit could not come without a price.

"I'm sorry, I can't guarantee how long each of you will live."

"You should know very well that even if you don't encounter Japanese pirates, the sea itself is extremely dangerous."

"So whether you can survive depends on your luck in the first place, and your ability in the other."

Faced with Liu Baisheng's gaze, Zhu Fang gave an answer that surprised everyone who was listening.

As per normal conditions.

At this time, Zhu Ping should take care of everything, saying that he would ensure the safety of the Danmin sailors.

Fight for a lot of them and let them disarm and return to their fields.

Instead of emphasizing at once the risks Danghai faces.

However, this made Liu Baisheng, who was still wary, finally put down his final guard.

Because Zhu Xiangyue emphasized the dangers of being a navy.

The more it proves, the imperial court sincerely intends to recruit Dan people as sailors, not cannon fodder.

Liu Baisheng sighed: "Life and death are destiny, no one can change it."

"As long as His Highness the King of Qin can pay full military pay to the Dan civilian sailors, the pension after his death will not be withheld."

"I am willing to help you and let the people here return to their homes."

Zhu Xi rushed to the coast from Yingtian Mansion and took unknown risks to go deep into the areas where Dan people gathered.

It is for this promise of Daodao Liu Baisheng. So he immediately promised: "Don't worry, the military pay of the Dan civilian sailors will be paid by the king himself."

"If anyone dares to put his hands on it, I promise to chop him off with my own hands."

After listening to Lin Che's lecture, Zhu Ping knew that corruption was inevitable.

So I didn't say too much, but set rules that would impose severe punishments.

"This way, I will feel relieved."

After Liu Baisheng got Zhu Ping's promise, he even claimed to be closer to the Han people.

But he still curiously asked: "His Royal Highness, King Qin, who suggested to Your Majesty to improve the status of our Dan people?"

"Of course it's my husband, Lin Che."

Zhu Ping had no intention of hiding his thoughts on this issue.

He directly said all the words Lin Che had to praise the people for their hard work and hard work.

Liu Baisheng remembered Lin Che's name deeply.

Immediately afterwards, he walked out of the cabin and shouted at the jabbering big man who was surrounding the ships.

The people on these boats immediately burst into cheers.

Then he rowed a boat to inform his fellow tribesmen further away about the good news announced by the tribe leader.

The gangsters suddenly exclaimed and were so frightened that they lurked over in small boats and followed the captains casually.

Everyone thought something happened to Zhu Xi.

If it hadn't been for the help of people who understood Dan Min's dialect, they would have planned to fight to Liu Baisheng's ship to save people.

The villagers cheered intermittently for an hour.

Everyone knows a person named Lin Che.

He asked the Ming Emperor to help Dan people get a chance to escape from their humble status.

As long as some of them are young and strong, they can respond to the call of the Ming Navy.

Then they will no longer be untouchables who can only float on the sea.

Rather, they are people who have the same status as scholars and peasants and can also take the imperial examination and become officials.

That is from this day on.

Many villagers silently placed an immortal tablet on their bed with a crooked, but clearly recognizable word 'Lin Che' written on it.

And with Liu Baisheng and other leaders of the Dan people.

After deliberating all night, we finally came up with detailed rules that both parties were satisfied with.

The most important one is that the Ming Dynasty can recruit qualified people who are good at water from among the people to join the navy.

The Dan people were not only able to read and write, but they were also able to live ashore.

However, due to the gap between them and the people on land, this will be carried out slowly.

In short, Zhu Xi followed Professor Lin Che’s method.

Put all possible problems on the table.

We negotiated a solution that satisfied the vast majority of people.

After daybreak, Zhu Ping also summoned these people to the beach along the coast.

He ordered the literate school captain and his assistant to make detailed household registration for these people.

After Liu Baisheng received the new household registration, he said with emotion: "I can finally fulfill my ancestors' long-cherished wish and become a true scholar."

When Zhu Xi heard this, he couldn't help but think about the hundreds of thousands of Dan people along the coast of the Ming Dynasty.

How many scholars are there among them?

If there are a large number of people, do you want to persuade your father to make a favor and win over a wave of people's hearts?
