My life skills in Daming Liver

Hai Rui was packing up his things.

After he was transferred from Zhejiang to Jiangxi Xingguo county magistrate, he has been doing well in the position of Xingguo county magistrate.

Hai Rui cleared up the land, cracked down on the criminal activities of the wealthy households in the city who hid their acres and population, and tried the lawsuits of extrusion. The people in Xingguo County all called him Qingtian.

However, Hai Rui was deeply influenced by Su Ze, so he did something different from the historical timeline before Su Ze traveled.

Hai Rui used his last savings from the government treasury of Xingguo County to set up five government-run workshops in Xingguo County.

Although Xingguo County is poor, it is rich in natural resources.

According to the local specialties of Xingguo, Hai Rui established a lime workshop, a turpentine workshop, a coal mine, an iron mine and a paper mill.

These workshops were all built by Hai Rui according to the method in the Tiangong Kaiwu sent to him by Su Ze. Relying on the advanced technology, these five workshops achieved profitability in just one year.

The big households in the city approached Hai Rui one after another, hoping that he could open up some properties to the wealthy households.

Hai Rui naturally wanted what he wanted, but he insisted that the mine must be run by the government, and only agreed to open up the technology of iron ore processing, lime processing, turpentine, and paper mills to these wealthy households, allowing them to set up workshops in the city.

All of a sudden, Xingguo County, a small county located close to the mountainous area and not well-developed in transportation, became richer day by day after Hai Rui took office.

The Flying Dragon Army invaded Jiangxi, and a large number of refugees appeared in Jiangxi. The rest of the counties in Jiangxi tried their best to prevent the refugees from entering. Only Xingguo County, which had developed industry and commerce, never refused to come.

Hai Rui took in many refugees, arranged for them to work in government-run workshops, and led them to build water conservancy and hydraulic workshops. On the contrary, Xingguo County became more and more prosperous due to the influx of a large number of laborers.

However, the reason for Hai Rui's promotion was not his great contribution to governing Xingguo County, but because he had repeatedly defied the superiors of the strict party and publicly criticized Yan Song and his son.

After Hai Rui arrived in Ren Xingguo County, Jiangxi was the home of the strict party. His immediate boss tried to interfere in Xingguo County's industry many times, but Hai Rui used the "Law of Ming Dynasty" to stop him.

Hai Rui was also dissatisfied with the corruption in the imperial court, and believed that it was caused by the strict party dictatorship, so he constantly criticized Mr. Yan Ge in public and private occasions, and often said that he would go to Jiangxi Fenyi to go to Dangzhi County.

Fenyi is Yan Song's hometown, what does Hai Rui, an anti-Yan Song guy, want to do when he wants to become the county magistrate in Fenyi, Jiangxi?

Hai Rui's remarks spread to the capital, Yan Dang and Qingliu began to operate Hai Rui's promotion.

In addition to the picketing of hundreds of officials, the censor also has the duty of recommending talents.

Jiangxi Dao of the Qingliu faction wrote a letter to Shizhong, believing that Hai Rui, the magistrate of Xingguo County, is good at managing the people, and he is superior in any evaluation, and recommends Hai Rui for promotion.

But Yan Song's one-party-controlled official department immediately arranged a position for Hai Rui, and Hai Rui's promotion was approved immediately.

The Ministry of Officials issued a document calling Hai Rui to the capital to serve as the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs' Department of Qing Officials in Yunnan.

In all fairness, the head of the Thirteenth Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs is a pretty good position.

The financial system of the Ming Dynasty was extremely chaotic and complicated. The Ministry of Household Affairs was the largest of the six ministries in terms of number of people and matters under its jurisdiction, and sometimes even surpassed the Ministry of Officials.

The reason is also very simple. The official department is said to be in charge of personnel appointments, but can your little official department manage it? Can't handle it.

After Yan Song came to power, he often trained the officials of the Ministry of Officials in the military, which made the officials of the Ministry of Officials look like scumbags.

Every time the Ministry of Officials recommends a list of officials, it must send officials to the cabinet for education, and the Ministry of Officials will draft the list to the emperor when the cabinet leaders decide on candidates to recommend.

And the emperor chooses his suitable candidate from the list.

The Ministry of Officials has no right to recommend high-level officials, and the cabinet has usurped power in appointing middle- and low-level officials.

Yan Song imitated the Tang Dynasty's Zhengshitang system, and also made some sort of elimination in the Ming cabinet.

After the middle and lower-level officials are elected, they must be deliberated and approved by the cabinet before they can be issued.

However, because of its professionalism, the Ministry of Household Affairs has been spared from the poisonous hands of the cabinet and has become a department with relatively high autonomy.

There are thirteen clean-up departments under the household department, corresponding to thirteen provinces in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ministry of Officials in Yunnan is connected with the Chief Envoy of Yunnan Province and is responsible for managing, supervising, and counting the finances of the province of Yunnan.

However, Hai Rui was still a little unhappy. He had just made some achievements in Xingguo County when others were busy picking peaches.

The person who succeeded Xingguo County magistrate was a member of the strict party. It is said that he was a Jinshi of the last subject. After waiting in the capital for three years, he finally spent a lot of money to attach Yan Shifan, and then he was elected to the position of Xingguo County magistrate.

Hai Rui thought of the business he had managed to start, and when he handed over the seal, the greedy gaze of the new magistrate, seeing that the new magistrate couldn't wait to take over the workshop with his own hands, made Hai Rui feel bad.

Hai Rui harnessed the poor horse to the carriage, let the old mother and wife sit in the carriage, and supported himself outside the carriage. He refused Wanmin Umbrella, because he only had one carriage and had no place to put it.

Hai Rui didn't take off his boots as a souvenir for the common people, because these official boots were his only official boots, and the dense stitches on them were sewn by the sea wife under the oil lamp.

Hai Rui only had these few pieces of luggage, all of which he brought from Zhejiang.

With a feeling of ignorance of sorrow and joy, Hai Rui embarked on the road to the capital.

In the capital, at this moment, it is full of flowers, and the streets of the capital are full of excitement. Ying Tianfu has expended great efforts to drive all the beggars and hungry people out of the city.

Because today is the day for the three imperial examinations to parade across the street.

The results of the Palace Examination in the 41st year of Jiajing came out. Xu Shixing, a tribute from Suzhou Prefecture, was the first in the first class, and he was the number one scholar in the undergraduate program.

Suzhou Gongshi Wang Xijue is the second in the first class, and the second place in the undergraduate list.

Xu Guo, a tribute from Huizhou Prefecture, is the third in the first class, and he is a candidate for undergraduates.

This year Xu Shixing is twenty-eight years old, Wang Xijue is forty-two, and Xu Guo is thirty-five.

The people of the capital looked at the young No. 1 Scholar and sighed that there were many talented people in the Ming Dynasty. This grand event in the imperial examination could finally dilute the painful memories of some people in the capital.

Xu Shixing, who was riding on the horse, felt a little dazed. He didn't expect that he won the first prize?

Although natural disasters and man-made disasters continued in the Ming Dynasty, this year's imperial examination is still the most complicated one since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Yes, every year is the most volume year.

However, Xu Shixing thought it was like a dream to be able to break out of the 41st Jiajing special volume.

Wearing a red robe and riding on a tall horse, Xu Shixing suddenly thought of a person. If he came to take the imperial examination, he would definitely not be the number one scholar, right?

Thinking of Su Ze who fought against the Japanese in Fujian, Xu Shixing once again felt that he had picked the number one scholar this time.

It wasn't just Xu Shixing who thought so, Xu Guo and Wang Xijue who were on both sides of him also thought so.

The tribute examination held in February is similar in content and form to the rural examination, and the main examination is also the imperial examination composition.

However, the results of Gongshi have little effect on the final ranking of Jinshi. This is an examination for the qualifications to participate in the palace examination, and it is this palace examination that determines the final ranking of the imperial examination.

As the highest level of examination in the country, officials who passed the Jinshi examination were theoretically officials of the Ming Dynasty, and the top few in the imperial examination were regarded as the future prime ministers of the country.

The content of the palace examination is no longer to examine the imperial examination essays, but the emperor's own propositions.

The questions for this year's palace examination were also given by the emperor himself, but all the candidates who got the questions were dumbfounded when they got the questions.

"On Xu Fu's Going to Sea to Seek Immortals", what the hell kind of title is this?

The highest talent ceremony in the dignified country doesn't even ask the common people to ask ghosts and gods?

A few angry candidates were immediately outraged!

But what about anger? Ten years, or even decades of studying hard, and finally reached this step in the palace examination, can I still hand in a blank paper?

Xu Shixing was also dumbfounded when he got this paper. He didn't know anything about prescriptions and elixirs, and he was unwilling to flatter the emperor and write some stories about immortals haunting him.

According to Su Ze's overseas colonization theory, he combined some new overseas species in South America that Su Ze had talked about when he was in Suzhou Mansion, and described to the emperor an overseas world full of rare treasures.

Xu Shixing's writing level is very high. He doesn't like the gorgeous parallelism of Taige style.

However, with his writing style, the overseas world he wrote is convincing.

According to Su Ze's theory of colonization and expansion, Xu Shixing put forward ideas to solve the problems of the Great White Bank, food and land, to find a way out to a wider overseas, to rejuvenate the glory of the Zhuxia era, and once again the emperor sent Xu Fu to open up The spirit of overseas.

Although this article did not match what Jiajing wanted, what Xu Shixing wrote still aroused the emperor's great interest. Maybe in that magical overseas land, there really is a elixir that can become a fairy?

Xu Shixing was named the number one scholar.

After parading through the streets, a few days later, officials were awarded according to their ranks in the imperial examination.

Xu Shixing was the first Jinshi and ranked first, and was officially awarded to the Imperial Academy for editing and writing.

Wang Xijue was the second Jinshi and ranked first, and was officially awarded the editor of the Imperial Academy.

Xu Guo was the third Jinshi and ranked first, and was officially awarded the editor of the Imperial Academy.

The rest of the second-class Jinshi, five under the age of 28, participated in the selection examination of the Hanlin Academy, and those who passed were awarded Shu Jishi and stayed in the Imperial Academy to watch politics.

The rest of the second-class and third-class Jinshi are waiting to be awarded officials in the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Officials according to their ranks in the imperial examination.

Next came the Qionglin Banquet and the same year banquet. Xu Shixing participated in several banquets in the capital. Everyone praised him as a young hero and would be the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

But when Xu Shixing thought of his time in Suzhou Mansion and Shanghai County, he always felt that he was wasting his time in the capital.

When Xu Shixing re-entered the Imperial Academy, his daily routine was to read books in the Imperial Academy, and occasionally, as an official of the Imperial Academy, he had to write poems for the emperor, all of which made Xu Shixing feel empty.

Everyone is working hard and doing things seriously. Those old Hanlins who are rich and poor, every time they receive the task of writing poems for the emperor, they will carefully consider every word.

The imperial court's laws and government decrees have long been covered with dust, but everyone has a book on alchemy and Taoism.

The aftermath of the battle between Yan Dang and Qingliu was also rippling in the Imperial Academy, and everyone was cautious, for fear of being caught.

Xu Shixing deeply discovered that in the majestic palace walls and grand government offices of the Ming Dynasty, it was possible to pretend to be scheming, scheming, and fame and fortune, but nothing that was beneficial to the Ming Dynasty could be pretended.

Under the flashy picture scrolls of all the officials in the capital, none of these gorgeous poems and government decrees have anything to do with the people of the Ming Dynasty.

In April, the emperor issued a decree, ordering Yushi Jiang Jing and Wang Daren to branch out all over the world, and visit the alchemist and the secretary of Fulu.

He also ordered all the officials of the Hanlin Academy, including the Shu Jishi who were studying politics, to study the Taoist alchemy books hidden in the palace in the palace, and find the alchemy that can prolong life.

What surprised Manchao even more was that Xu Shixing, the champion of the new department, who had just served as the editor of the Imperial Academy, was sent to Fuzhou by the emperor's decree, asking him to go to Fuzhou to contact the Ryukyu envoys to find overseas elixir and celestial prescriptions.

For such an absurd edict, Xu Shixing can be said to be dumbfounded, but he was greeted by the jealous eyes of colleagues in the Imperial Academy, and even the entire Imperial Academy was guessing, which elder's "thigh" did Xu Shixing embrace? To get such a "beautiful job"!

Xu Shixing had no choice but to pack his luggage and set off from the capital to the south.

On the water transport ship, Xu Shixing passed by Hai Rui who was going to Beijing.

In May, the trade winds rose in Fuzhou, and the trade ships of the Ryukyu envoys called at the port.

Officers and soldiers boarded the ship of the Ryukyu envoy like a wolf, and directly dragged the Ryukyu envoy Lin Changjing, who was carrying the letter of credence, off the ship.

By the time Eunuch Tao received the news, the Ryukyu envoys had already been imprisoned in the prison of the patrol office.

"Master Yan! You treat the tribute envoys so harshly! Miscellaneous families want to play you!"

Leaving a threat of neither pain nor itching, Mr. Tao had no choice but to take people back to the Shibo Department's yamen.

He sent the little eunuch to Chuanshidao to find Su Ze to find a solution, but he heard the news that Su Ze had led the new navy army Yang Fan to set off.

Sitting on the flagship New World, Lin Liangjun hurriedly climbed onto the deck from the communication boat and reported to Su Zehui:

"The clipper ship did not find any traces of the Japanese pirates on the target route!"

All eyes were on Su Ze. Qi's army had gone northward according to the plan and ambushed around Fuzhou City. The direction of the fleet's advance was the route of the war game deduction.

But now the clipper ship has not found the enemy. Could it be that the guess is wrong? Didn't Japanese pirates attack Fuzhou Prefecture?

Su Ze pondered for a while and said: "The results of the war game are not wrong, and our intelligence is not wrong. The sea is vast, and maybe the clipper ship searched the wrong area!"

"Get the chart!"

Everyone quickly brought the chart, and Su Ze looked at the wind direction of the weather beacon again, and then began to draw and calculate on the chart.

With the skill of [Mathematics], Su Ze quickly calculated the result.

"Has this area been searched?"

"No!"

"Send clippers to search the area!"

First post, typos will be corrected immediately. This chapter is a bit difficult to write. After writing it, I have to go to work, and I will change it after I go to work.
