The court will either convict him today or tomorrow, and everyone outside is talking about this matter. But immediately after, the emperor's three decrees caused the attention of the people in the world to shift in an instant.
What is the purpose?
An imperial edict to reward you with a knighthood! No one expected this title!
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has been very harsh on the vassal kings and nobles! He is also willing to ask you to do practical work when it comes to the arrangements for the clan, but he is very cautious about rewarding titles.
But this time it was different. The emperor rewarded him with great fanfare - Minjue!
The first decree was given to a man named Chen Zhenlong, who was named Kang Pinggong.
Because this person passed away two years ago, the imperial court built a temple specifically for this person. Chen Zhenlong's eldest son, Chen Jinglun, was granted permission to inherit the title and inherit the title of Duke for generations, and will never be demoted!
As soon as this decree came out, there was an uproar inside and outside the court.
Everyone is asking, who are Chen Zhenlong and Chen Jinglun? They are so fierce, why are they dukes?
You know, when the Ming Dynasty was founded, all the dukes were those who had made great contributions! Just like Xu Da, he was the Duke of Wei.
Who is this person, and why did he become a duke all of a sudden? I am completely confused.
Along with this decree, there was a public announcement that spread throughout the Ming Dynasty. It was a notice that everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew. The court officials did not pay attention to it before. When I went back to read this notice, I realized who this Chen Zhenlong was!
This was a scholar from Fujian who later went to Luzon to do business. He saw that the local sweet potatoes had a large yield and could be eaten raw or cooked, so he wanted to take them home and try growing them. The local control was strict, so he and his son also took risks.
, The seeds were just brought back from abroad.
The notice said that the emperor had personally cultivated it, and the yield was so large that it could be grown in both the north and the south and could be used as food to satisfy hunger.
This grain can survive countless lives, and its merits should bless future generations.
Who would have thought that a little sweet potato would benefit so many descendants? Isn’t this kind of conversation more interesting than talking about the adults we don’t know in the court?
The ministers in the court felt that the emperor's reward was so large because he was promoting this crop. Such a thing is rare, just a very ordinary family, and then he became a duke!
The more people talk, the more people know, and the more people try, the emperor's goal will be achieved.
Of course, this may be just one of the purposes. There is another purpose, which should be to buy horse bones with a thousand gold. The imperial court opened maritime trade and encouraged private maritime trade. As long as you bring back good seeds, the imperial court will not hesitate to reward you. Needless to say, there are people
To do it.
The fourth master also said, "As long as it is valuable, I will not begrudge the title."
Isn’t this a sensation?
Before the popularity of this decree subsided, the emperor followed up with a second decree: canonizing Jin Xuezeng as Duke Kangning.
Who is this Jin Xuezeng? He was the governor of Fujian. After the Chen family and his son brought sweet potatoes back and planted them successfully, they reported it to the then governor Jin Xuezeng. Jin Xuezeng encouraged them to try the planting. After the success, they promoted it in Fujian. At that time
The famine in the country was alleviated because of this sweet potato. He also wrote a letter and suggested that the Chen family and his son should be rewarded, build an ancestral hall, etc., but in the end the matter was settled.
Now, pull this person out and give it to the Duke.
What does it mean? The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will find out for themselves!
What is there to understand about this? Isn’t it just that the emperor tells everyone what kind of officials he likes and should be rewarded? Let me set a template for everyone. What Jin Xuezeng did is really, this
The emperor just likes it.
I also want to tell everyone that this is what an official does! As long as you make achievements, you will not be buried. The emperor is willing to reward ministers with titles, just to see if you have the ability to get them. For officials who do practical things, only
Tell me if you have the energy.
The fourth master even wrote to Xiong Tingbi, telling him that he had guarded Shanhaiguan for twenty years without any danger, and I would not hesitate to give you a title. He wrote to Zuo Guangdou, telling him that he had done a solid job in water conservancy, and I would keep the title of hereditary duke for you.
Write a letter to tell Wang Keshou that I will leave you a title here in the military reclamation shop of Ming Dynasty.
When people inside and outside were applauding, the fourth master issued a third edict, conferring Xu Guangqi the title of "Great Doctor".
What is this thing? No one understands.
But soon after, everyone knew that any such 'great doctor' would be honored by the country and treated as the same as a prince. In addition, a royal palace was given to this great doctor on the street of the 'Ten Princes' Mansion', with dedicated personnel.
Invite people to Beijing.
In the notice, the emperor highly praised the great doctor's erudition and wanted to build a Guangqi Academy in the capital. Students in the academy would only need the recommendation of their husbands, and errands would be arranged after the imperial examination.
How great is this right?!
How did the emperor pull this person out?
Later I found out that it was still related to sweet potatoes. Regarding sweet potatoes, Xu Guangqi had already written to Emperor Wanli and wrote a book called "Sweet Potatoes", in which he said: Everyone has the same affairs, and there is no need to worry about the world, and the people can have no worries.
Death.
It's a pity that this memorial was kept in the cabinet for some reason, and Emperor Wanli never saw it.
In fact, Xu Guangqi had long been invited by Wang Keshou to conduct experiments on the spot. The Fourth Master did not issue the order until the autumn!
It seems that the sweet potato reminds the emperor of such a person, but it is not just because of the sweet potato that he is given such a great favor. For example, this person has made achievements not only in agriculture, but also in water conservancy, astronomy, legislation, surveying, etc., and he
He understands Western learning and learned it from the foreign missionary Matteo Ricci.
He has dabbled in subjects such as geometry, financial management, architecture, machinery manufacturing, and even medical skills and weapons and art of war.
He is a generalist in science, and he is even proficient in music.
These are already very impressive, but what's even more terrible is that this person is a Jinshi of the Wanli Dynasty and has a formal imperial examination background.
Therefore, IQ is really a very good thing. There is really only a small difference between people, but this small distance seems to be separated by the Milky Way.
Get a master like this back as soon as possible, don't go to the fields anymore! Go study, there is a huge shortage of science talents!
Compared with these high-profile decrees, the fourth master also announced a move to the palace, but this time it was much more low-key.
This person is Song Yingxing, who is still very young.
The fourth master is not Tongtong. Tongtong just knows that there is such a person and wants to find him urgently and take him under his command so that he can use his talents. But he doesn't know more details.
Song Yingxing later completed "Tiangong Kaiwu", but that was later. Today's scholars are mostly rushing to take the imperial examination! If they don't succeed in the imperial examination, people feel that they are not on the right path. Moreover, Song Yingxing is only thirty-five years old now.
, an upright and mature man. He should still think that there is hope for the imperial examination.
At the age of twenty-nine, this person took part in the provincial examination and passed the imperial examination. He ranked very high, third in the province. His brother was sixth, so he was considered an elite. Then you said, is it possible not to ask people to take the Jinshi examination?
?
At that time, I went to the capital to apply for Jinshi, but I failed. It was normal that I didn't pass the exam the first time. I went to the academy to study hard and hoped for the next time. So, when I was thirty-three years old, I took the exam again and still failed.
Didn't pass the exam.
Historically, people took the exam once at the beginning of Tianqi and failed.
Until Chongzhen came to the throne, he was over 40 years old. He took the exam once and failed again.
Finally, he served as an eighth-level edict and was promoted to the fifth-level magistrate. In the end, when he was in the Southern Ming Dynasty, this person still had illusions and hoped that he could turn the tide, but in the end, all hopes were in vain. This person chose to live in seclusion, so that
I don’t know what day he went there, he really lived in seclusion.
Such an experience was not what Tongtong thought. Just ask someone to come! Those who can come are the staff, not the right ones.
But this person just didn’t pass the Enke exam this time, what should he do? Even if he took the liberal arts exam, and he was a person from a decent background, could he take the liberal arts exam? He would definitely still be unhappy!
If you want to use such a person, Fourth Master is also quite stupid.
You cannot undermine the fairness of the exam just because you are interested in this person's future achievements.
How to do it?
After the imperial examination, the Fourth Master first asked to pay attention to this person. Perhaps because there was a lot of excitement in the capital, he and his brother were not in a hurry to return. They had been wandering around the capital! They have not returned until now. They are probably a little confused whether to continue.
What about the imperial examination? Or go to the civil service department to look for opportunities as an examiner.
The imperial court would post notices every day telling people to fill vacancies. No extra money was charged. Anyway, if you passed the exam, you would get errands. Some of them were serious official titles, and some were just errands, not considered officials.
This was very embarrassing. Seeing that it was getting cold, the fourth master got the letter and said that the two of them were going to return to their hometown.
We are planning to take the imperial examination!
How to do it?
Call me in, come in and let’s talk.
What are you studying for? To help the country? To govern the country and secure the people? Okay! There is nothing wrong with that. But the country now needs you to develop your expertise. To govern the country and secure the people, you need something more pragmatic. So, you
——For the sake of the country, the country and the people, let’s make a sacrifice, stop taking the civil service examination, and do something you like and that you are good at. Is that okay?
Fourth Master thinks this person is a great person, but the other person is frightened. He is just a failure.
I'm so nervous! It's useless to say anything if you're nervous.
But who is the fourth master? We can talk about anything, including the fields that he is good at. For example, astronomy, agriculture, etc. are all fine.
Especially astronomy, the fourth master said: "No matter how difficult it is, the observatory must be built. Abnormal weather, astronomy, and climate are all within the scope of the court's attention. The queen once asked someone to find talents in this field. I heard someone said that you
.I have wanted to invite you to Beijing several times, but unfortunately, I can't make it. The Queen is not in the capital now. If she were, she would be happy. You don't know that the Queen is also very interested in astronomy and climate. Have you read "Compendium of Materia Medica" carefully?
”, the queen can also recite "Compendium of Materia Medica" backwards and forwards. Don't get me wrong when we come to you, we are not looking for a staff, we are looking for a national scholar! Above the title of great doctor, there is a national scholar. Mr. Song, I hope I can have a chance
I give you the title of Great Doctor. I also hope that many years from now, you will be ranked in the Imperial Ancestral Temple as a national scholar!"
How virtuous and capable is this minister?!
Anyway, Fourth Master used Corporal Li Xian's tricks and used them to full effect, so he left the person behind. He will assist Xu Guangqi in building the college as a 'young doctor'.
After leaving the person behind, Fourth Master wrote to Tongtong, telling her that the person she had been asking for for several years had invited him back.
When Tongtong received this letter, it was already cold! There was no snow, the climate was dry and cold, and the earthy color was endless. Looking at the familiar ravines, her eyes were filled with confusion: I, Hu Hansan, am back again!
