Don't you understand? This is just status and seniority. Who is in front is more important.
For example, Tan Deyu, why did he become the only commander besides Xie Qian? It was because he led Qingshi to gather the villagers and followed Zhu Yiyuan in the first few battles. Even if the scale was not large, in the future, he would have built an army.
merit.
Another example is Zhang Lin. He was the earliest scholar to follow Zhu Yiyuan. Even if he was just a scholar, he could still rank first, ahead of the rest.
Apart from these few, in terms of seniority, this exam is extraordinary. If nothing else, just by relying on this identity, you will really conquer the world in the future. Rewarding the heroes must be arranged no matter what.
Furthermore, if you pass the exam at this time, even though the official position is not big, the power is not small. It is divided into fields and attached to the army. These are all positions with a bright future.
Anyone with a little ambition will not miss it.
At Shanzuo Grand Shrine, Zhao Jinmei, Wang Shizhen, and about a dozen other students all enthusiastically participated in the exam.
On the other side, Wang Yu, Liu Liang, and many children from poor families also joined in.
Zhao Shizhe, Song Jicheng, and Gu Yanwu presided over the examination. Although it was simple, the standards were definitely not low. After all, the knowledge of these three people was more than enough to preside over the examination.
The entire exam is very simple, with only writing and arithmetic. It takes half a day to complete, and the marking is faster.
That night, the results came out.
There are so many members of Shanzuo Grand Society, and there are so many scholars from poor families, who can come out on top?
Zhu Yiyuan revealed the answer to the mystery.
"Zhixian Lu, congratulations."
Lu Xi's face suddenly turned red. He was actually the first!
He, a supervisor, was actually number one!
It's so pitiful, God really opened his eyes, the ancestral graves are smoking?
Lu Xi's first reaction was to ask innocently: "Is this the first person in the case, or the top pick?"
Zhu Yiyuan also laughed. The first place in the case was the first place in the county, government and hospital level three examinations. The number one scholar was naturally the first place in the palace examination.
"I can't say what it is, but I have a red flower and two pheasant feathers here. Do you want them?"
"Yes! Why don't you want it? Please, Zhu Qianshi, help me put it on!" Lu Xi raised his head and couldn't wait.
Zhu Yiyuan smiled and hung a temporary red flower made of red silk on Lu Xi's chest, and then inserted two pheasant feathers on his hat.
Just like that, the first No. 1 pick was finally announced.
However, unlike the top pick of the Ming Dynasty, his top pick was a bit miserable. All he got was the deputy director of the Department of Settlements, under the direct leadership of Zhang Lin, in charge of land equalization in Yishui.
Although the ceremony was simple and the official position was not high, Lu Xi was full of energy.
"Zhu Qianshi, you asked me about the situation in Yishui last time. I also said that the local clans are deeply entrenched and difficult to shake... I have also thought about it in the past few days. It is not impossible to shake them.
Just equalizing the land will definitely not work. Our first step is to cancel the excessive interest rates."
Zhu Yiyuan asked curiously: "How to say?"
Lu Xidao: "Like many poor places, a family of three or five people is really hard to survive. When encountering natural or man-made disasters, they cannot survive. Therefore, many ordinary people can only rely on the help of their clan members to survive the disaster.
Year. Therefore, if we directly equalize land, these small people will be afraid."
Zhu Yiyuan nodded repeatedly, "That's true. Mr. Lu, what can you do?"
Lu Xidao: "Although the clan will provide aid and help, it does not open the door to charity and respond to requests. On the contrary, they will provide aid and lend money. Because they are familiar with the situation of each household, they can take away the last penny from the people's pockets and return the money to them.
Forcing them to owe huge debts. I thought that if I want to break the situation, I have to break this debt! Moreover, large clan families can run rampant in the countryside, and they also hold a lot of family property and school fields, which can avoid taxes.
If you have money and people, you can naturally control the situation."
Zhu Yiyuan nodded heavily, "Well said, there is another thing, that is, they control the clan system and can deal with many things privately. This is something we cannot agree to no matter what. Mr. Lu, you are sure to get rid of these shortcomings and quickly complete the equalization
Tian?"
Lu Xi thought for a moment and said, "I need a few helpers and five hundred soldiers."
"Okay." After Zhu Yiyuan agreed, he immediately ordered Zhao Jinmei and Wang Shizhen. Both of them are young talents from Shanzuo Grand Shrine, especially Zhao Jinmei, who is of the same clan as Zhao Shizhe.
"You guys should work together with Lu Xi and learn more skills from him."
The two young men who had just passed the examination looked at each other and nodded vigorously.
"As you command!"
Zhu Yiyuan made arrangements calmly. Those who had just passed the exam would be given positions immediately, and everyone could be assigned work.
This is really attractive to young people.
Among the few scholars who followed Tian Wen and planned to leave, two came back and wanted to stay and work.
Zhu Yiyuan was not polite, "Although we welcome everyone, if you leave, you will leave. You have missed this round of exams. Whether you can take the exam next depends on your performance. After all, we have to employ people."
Pay attention to reliability.”
The two of them looked at each other, and because of a misunderstanding, they missed a good opportunity and were put on the list of suspects.
"No matter what, we are willing to follow Qian Shi and fight against the Qing Dynasty together!"
Zhu Yiyuan assigned a team to divide the fields and asked Zhang Lin to be responsible for supervision. If there are any problems, they should be corrected in time. If there are serious situations, they should be reported to him.
Zhang Lin immediately agreed, no matter who is the number one scholar or the county magistrate, they should listen to me, a scholar, and follow Mr. Zhu. It is really not a loss!
Of course, some people are not convinced, and that is Master Fang. In fact, he also wants to take the exam and become an official.
But it was a pity that Zhu Yiyuan refused directly.
"Master Fang, you are now considered a private employee of mine. I still have doubts about your qualifications." Zhu Yiyuan said it euphemistically, but it also meant that you could only be hired and never owned.
Who knows how greedy Master Fang will be if he is put into the ranks of officials!
Master Fang felt aggrieved and had no choice but to say: "Zhu Qianshi, I wonder if you have heard that my last employer has now been promoted to a promotion official in Yanzhou Prefecture."
"Yan Zibin?"
Zhu Yiyuan was startled, "Why did he get promoted? How did you know?"
Master Fang said: "That person sued Fang Dayou in exchange for Qian Qianyi being promoted to the governor of Shandong. In return, Qian Qianyi naturally wanted to promote him. As for how I knew, it was Yan Zibin who asked someone to give me a gift.
Letter."
With that said, Master Fang handed a letter to Zhu Yiyuan.
Zhu Yiyuan took it and opened it to see that it was the one given to him by Yan Zibin.
This man is really sober in the world. He wrote this letter to Zhu Yiyuan with the general meaning that he has been transferred to other official positions and will soon find a way to be transferred out of Shandong. From now on, the mountains and rivers will be long and the future will be endless. Regardless of the end.
No matter what, he asked Zhu Yiyuan to abide by his trustworthiness and not to mention their past.
In order to reciprocate the favor, Yan Zibin also drew a map of Shandong's military situation and gave it to Zhu Yiyuan.
All in all, I am sincere and it is up to you.
Zhu Yiyuan snorted, "Master Fang, isn't this Yan Zibin afraid that I will leak the news and kill him?"
Master Fang shook his head, "He is not afraid because Zhu Qianshi is a man of faith!"
"Believe me?"
"Well, Zhu Qianshi promoted land equalization, treated the people with kindness, and was able to get along with the villagers. Such a person would never act recklessly without any limits. That's why Yan Zibin dared to offer generous gifts to Qianshi. He
I am willing to believe in Qian Shi’s character.”
Zhu Yiyuan blinked his eyes and couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect my reputation to be of any use, but if he wants to break up with me, it's impossible."
Zhu Yiyuan thought for a while and simply wrote two words: mole.
Then he handed it to Master Fang, "This is my code name for Yan Zibin. Please rest assured, even if I am defeated and die in the hands of the Qing army, his news will be burned first and he will not be implicated. But...
…He is considered one of my secret agents in the Qing court. If there is any news, I will send it to him as soon as possible. Of course, I will not use him in vain. I will arrange some credits to be distributed to him so that he can rise up in the Qing court and enjoy prosperity and wealth.
."
This works too!
Master Fang was stunned again, why did he always feel that his two bosses before and after him were a little abnormal in their minds. This chapter has been completed!
