Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 13 You come and I compete for profit

Chapter 13 You come and I compete for profit

Li Shanchang retreated to his own house, relying on his servants to hand over official duties at the door and deliver them in and out. He made it clear that he wanted to stay out of the affairs.

Zhu Yuanzhang, on the other hand, sent all his Jin Yiwei Fanzi without any mercy. Man Ying Tianfu was no longer satisfied with the arrests, and they all went to other places to arrest people.

Since then, the empty seal case has spread more and more widely.

Now, it has been going on for a month or two.

Some things cannot be dug deeply, and trouble will arise once you dig deep.

No, as the investigation continues at the prefectural and county levels, more and more people are involved.

Although many people really do not do it for fraud, but just for convenience, Emperor Zhu couldn't get a grain of sand in his eyes. Anyway, it was just one word, kill!

No matter what your reasons are.

Anyway, in Lao Zhu's eyes, these are all long-term workers who work for his family, and they are no different from leeks in the field.

To paraphrase what Emperor Zhu said casually at the dinner table, "There may be no one to do the job of getting yourself killed, but are you afraid that no one will do the job of being an official?"

It is said that Emperor Zhu's tone was particularly bad at that time, but his words were extremely deeply rooted in people's hearts.

And now is the critical moment to measure whether this sentence is correct or not.

Li Shanchang, who had been hiding in the house for more than half a month, finally couldn't hide anymore and was escorted to the palace.

Liu Bowen, Yang Xian and others were already waiting.

After greeting each other, Zhu Yuanzhang did not hide anything and directly stated the major issues to be discussed today.

"We took a look and found that Ming Dynasty is currently short of manpower due to a bunch of bastards."

"As an important minister in the DPRK, you can't just watch, you have to think of a solution quickly."

"If there is no one to fill it, then the world will be a mess."

"I wonder if you, my beloved, have any good ideas?"

As soon as Emperor Zhu said these words, Li Shanchang and others were reluctant to curse on the spot.

Mother, Emperor Zhu, do you want to listen to what you said?

The officialdom has become what it is now, with many places closed down. Who is responsible for it? Don’t you know yourself?
Just saying "a bunch of bastards" and this matter is over?

However, now that Emperor Zhu is full of murderous rage, everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak. They can only pretend that they did not hear certain words and follow Emperor Zhu's words.

"Your Majesty, the number of officials waiting for this replacement is no longer enough to fill the current vacancy. My suggestion is that we might as well open an enke."

"In this way, we can not only recruit new scholars to serve our Ming Dynasty, make our Ming Dynasty prosperous and unite people's hearts, but also fill the gaps in the officialdom as quickly as possible."

Liu Bowen was worthy of being Emperor Zhu's trusted strategist, and the idea came from the idea of ​​being faster than others.

It's not that this method is shocking or outstanding, but that this guy can be one step ahead of others every time. This is his skill.

After Li Shanchang glanced at Liu Bowen, his face was full of eagerness to try.

Regarding Kai Enke, even if it was brought up by Liu Bowen, whom he disliked the most, he had to support it.

For no other reason than for his own consideration.

He is eyeing the position of examiner.

You must know that this imperial examination is not just a matter of national examination.

The scientific examination held every three years is the key and hope for countless scholars to leap over the dragon's gate.

So as the chief examiner of a certain scientific examination, according to the rules in the circle of scholars, the current chief examiner is the teacher of all students who take the exam.

It may have been inconspicuous in previous years, but this time because Enke wants to fill a gap in the officialdom, the recruitment number must be relaxed.

It is conceivable that after this, the number of this batch of scholars on the list will be astonishing.So, how could Li Shanchang miss this great opportunity to increase his faction's influence?

It's not that because of the relationship between disciples and teachers, these scholars have really become their lackeys.

But with such a relationship, judging from the relationship between heaven and earth, the two are naturally very close.

Then as long as you help a little bit in the future, the relationship will naturally become closer.

Therefore, Li Shanchang must not let go of this opportunity.

After all, if he didn't win it, looking at the current situation, wouldn't he have to be snatched away by Liu Ji?

So this guy can't win over hundreds of new officials without being able to do so?
The most important thing is that this time, the newly promoted officials do not even have to wait for a vacancy. They will be given actual posts and go directly to take up their posts in various places.

Therefore, as long as you get this seat of master, you can immediately build a large network of relationships all over the Ming Dynasty.

After thinking about it, Li Shanchang's face became solemn and he immediately cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that opening Enke is a practical and good policy. I recommend Guo Mingyi, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, to be the chief examiner of this year's Enke."

"It is the duty of the Ministry of Rites to promote talents for the country. As the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Guo Mingyi is the best choice for his job, ability and character. It is perfect!"

As soon as Li Shanchang said this, before Zhu Yuanzhang could answer, Yang Xian's expression changed and he immediately interrupted.

"Your Majesty, I have objections. Mr. Guo's position as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites is indeed good, but in my opinion, it is still not enough."

"In my opinion, Enke's time is tight, the task is heavy, and the number of recruits is astonishing. This matter is no longer enough for the right minister of the Ministry of Rites."

When Li Shanchang heard Yang Xian's words, he was particularly disgusted. He tilted his head and looked at Yang Xian and sneered.

"What's the matter? Right Prime Minister Yang thinks that a minister is not enough to control the situation, so he plans to let us, the prime minister, take action?"

Li Shanchang's words were obviously yin and yang, but Yang Xian nodded matter-of-factly and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in charge.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I boldly recommend myself."

"I have served in the Ministry of Rites before, and I am very familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites."

"Nowadays, it is a grand ceremony for the country to recruit talents. Only the right minister, the prime minister, can take charge of the overall situation and get things done well!"

As soon as Yang Xian said these words, Li Shanchang felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

That is to say, it was in front of Emperor Zhu now, otherwise Li Shanchang would have probably cursed.

Good on you Liu Ji and Yang Xian.

You are so shameless.

In order to win over the newly promoted scholars and officials, Te Niang lost her face.

The dignified right prime minister actually went out to fight with a right minister himself?

What about the face?

What major national affairs do you think we don't know about?

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, what kind of liao zhai are they singing?
Huh, Li Shanchang was too lazy to pay attention to Yang Xian immediately, and turned to Zhu Yuanzhang and continued to recommend Guo Mingyi, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.

To put it bluntly, no one, whether it was Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, or Yang Xian, could bear to let it go when they saw a big fat piece of meat in front of them.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two people walking back and forth in front of him, his expression particularly ugly.

Of course he knew what these two people were up to.

Therefore, he felt particularly disgusted, and immediately slapped the emperor's case and scolded him.

"Two prime ministers, you and I are fighting over trivial matters. How can we behave like this?"

"There is no need to argue. Regarding Enke, we want Hu Weiyong to take the lead. I have made up my mind!"
