Chapter 1217 - Talented
Zuo Liangyu left with a spring breeze on his face, which brought great confidence to the people queuing up to visit. Since then, Hong Chengchou has spent a whole day greeting these visiting guests, and he has not been disappointed, these juniors in the sect are actually not lacking in talents. It's just that the Ming Dynasty in the Taiping world has no place for them.
The military generals don't need Hong Chengchou to worry, but Wenchen still has some talents, and the Wenchen who came to visit recommended the second sons of the family who are useless. Although Hong Chengchou also saw some good talents that could be of great use, he was still far from the civil officials he needed.
Civil officials are very popular in the peaceful and prosperous times, and no one will bet on the unknown future. Moreover, Daming's deep-rooted family concept made these ministers feel that they should let their heirs stay in Daming to develop a future. And what can be recommended to Hong Chengchou is either the rebel son in the family, or the junior in the family who has no ink in his stomach and can't mix in the Ming Dynasty.
There is no perfect thing in the world, and Hong Chengqi also understood the thoughts of the Chinese courtiers of the dynasty and did not blackmail them. In the evening of the same day, Hong Chengchou received the last distinguished guest, and after dinner, he found Mao Jingwen again.
"Your Majesty, the famous families among the ministers are unwilling to easily hand over the children who have real talents and hard work in the family. Their thoughts, and the ministers also understand, are all human nature. But at present, there are still a lot of good civil officials who can be used, so the old minister has something to ask the emperor for help. When Hong Chengchou saw the emperor, he immediately said straight to the point.
"Sir, please say, as long as I can do it, I will never shirk it." Mao Jingwen was also heroic, and agreed without hesitation at all.
"The children of famous families with real talents obviously will not let go of leaving the Ming Dynasty, so the old minister wants to select some good talents among some cold families, and I hope the emperor can allow it." Hong Chengchou chuckled.
"Mr. Gaoming, there are many talents in today's poor families, and there will be amazing talents in the exam every year. I'm right, as much as the gentleman wants, just let me see the list. Mao Jingwen said with a smile.
"Thank you to the emperor for your success, the old minister will retire!" Hong Chengchou left satisfied.
In the next three days, Hong Chengchou completely refused to visit the distinguished guests again, and took a few guards, under the service of the old butler, to run around Nanjing City in a carriage. After running in the city, Hong Chengchou has not stopped, and even began to fight in the villages and towns on the outskirts.
The people Hong Chengchou is looking for are all talented people who can come to the capital of Nanjing to take the exam after passing the exams. These people themselves are quite capable people, and all they lack is experience. But there are also some guys who can only talk about it, but fortunately, Hong Chengchou is not a vegetarian, and he can usually identify whether this person is a genius after meeting and chatting for a while.
After going around for nearly a month, Hong Chengchou returned to his small courtyard and sorted out the list of selected talents, and Hong Chengchou asked the old housekeeper to present it to the emperor for viewing.
Mao Jingwen's reply was very fast, and it was approved on the same day. There are more than 400 students, including almost all the fresh graduates in this world. Of course, they are all from poor families, and those famous families will naturally not let their children run away.
And Hong Chengchou's practice has greatly reduced the competition among the children of famous families invisibly, and for a while, all famous families are grateful to Hong Chengchou for this move.
It was difficult for the children of the poor family to get ahead, but at this moment, Hong Chengchou gave them the opportunity, although they had to go overseas, these selected poor students were a little lost in their hearts. But Hong Chengchou's promise to them was too tempting, and they all let go of their worries and followed willingly.
Hong Chengchou took the list approved by Mao Jingwen, and Mao Jingwen asked with a smile: "What kind of promise did Mr. give to these poor students, so that they would go to the Japanese country so desperately?" ”
Mao Jingwen was quite curious about this question, and he was even more itchy about the promise given by Hong Chengchou, and he didn't give up without asking!
Hong Chengchou glanced at Mao Jingwen and explained lightly: "Actually, there is nothing, but I just promised them that after serving in the Japanese State for five years, if they have outstanding political achievements, they can return to Daming at any time." After returning to the Ming Dynasty, the old minister promised them that they could at least take up positions above the county order. ”
Taiping has been in the Ming Dynasty for three years, and it is not easy for a poor student to become a county magistrate. Huge competitiveness is everywhere, and they are from poor backgrounds, only those with superb knowledge can get ahead. Otherwise, they have no backers and no background, and they are not the opponents of the juniors of those famous families at all.
Stay away from the competition and go to the Wa Kingdom to serve for five years, and then you can return to the Ming Dynasty to start from the county order, which is a great temptation. You must know that these poor students don't know if they can pass the final exam in the five years of Daming.
After listening to Hong Chengchou's explanation, Mao Jingwen was relieved, but hundreds of people came back to Daming five years later, where did Mao Jingwen have so many county orders for them? Thinking of this, Mao Jingwen immediately frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, there is indeed nothing wrong with this promise. It's just that after five years, if hundreds of people come back, I won't have so many county orders to arrange for them! ”
Hong Chengchou chuckled: "Your Majesty, don't panic, how many people will come back in five years, this is uncertain." If Lao Chen didn't guess wrong, these students who went out, and those who want to come back after five years must be those who can't get along in the Japanese country. Those who are thriving are willing to give up the achievements they have worked hard there and return to the Ming Dynasty, who still has nothing. ”
Hearing Hong Chengchou say this, Mao Jingwen suddenly felt reasonable, he nodded and smiled: "Mr. is really smart, I admire it!" ”
Hong Chengchou was not polite at all, calmly accepted Mao Jingwen's praise, and then left with a smile. It is said that the talent has been collected enough, and it is time to prepare to set sail.
Mao Jingwen didn't do much to keep it, and only after personally sending it to the door of the imperial study did he turn around and return to the room. Hong Chengchou was already ready to set sail, Mao Wenlong asked Mao Jingwen in the letter to prepare something, and Mao Jingwen had to step up the arrangements. After pondering for a while, Mao Jingwen immediately wrote a holy decree and ordered someone to send it to Weihaiwei, where all the things that Mao Wenlong needed could be loaded on the ship.
Mao Wenlong asked for 50,000 soldiers, but Mao Jingwen waved his pen and directly dispatched 100,000 troops to the Wa Kingdom. The reason is very simple, the Ming army is too idle now, and when I heard that I could follow Mao Wenlong to the Wa Kingdom to fight. Those killers in the army who wanted to make meritorious contributions and wanted to go crazy immediately jointly wrote a letter asking the emperor to allow them to go.
