Wang Jinyuan's heart ached.

Fang Jifan's heart was also in pain, as if he had been pricked by a needle.

But the cannonball that I made an appointment, I have to finish it with tears in my eyes. This is a matter of credit. Fang Jifan behaves upright, sits upright, promises a thousand dollars, yes, I made a few promises.

In short, the current Xishan cannot accommodate such a large population, and 5,000 households is almost the limit.

Unless the land outside the pass is reclaimed, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes that are trial planted, as well as the corn that is about to be released, are successfully planted on a large scale, then the population can be relocated. Otherwise, any problem may put tens of thousands of people in a desperate situation.

The selected 5,000 farmers will stay for the time being, and the rest will all be packed up and dismissed.

It's just that when they were dismissed, each of them gave 300 big money, and gave a lot of special products from Xishan, including dry food and dried meat.

And I promised that I will recruit people next year, and when the time comes, you will all be at the top.

After all, I finally wiped my ass clean.

Fang Jifan looked at the books. This time, he lost tens of thousands of taels of silver, and countless grains and jerky.

The remaining 5,000 households, like their predecessors, first built a shed to settle down.

Then let the scholars of Xishan Academy serve as the backbone, organize them into groups and lead them to produce.

Even though Shen Ao is already a marquis, there is a sister who is also a princess, and her father is a scholar of the Hanlin University. His family's status can faintly rival the newly rising Fang family.

But when he arrived at Xishan, he was the grandson. As long as he still called Fang Jifan a master, he would be nothing like a Marquis.

Obediently, Shen Ao lives in a shed. There are fifteen households in the group he lives with. What Shen Ao has to do is to count their household registration status, know their names, who is in the family, and whether there are patients. , whether to marry a wife, have children!

Back then, Shen Ao lived with Zhang Sanba and the others, so he was familiar with the road. He was no longer coy, but could easily tell these vulgar people all kinds of nasty jokes about who picked up ashes.

There is also a person named Liu Wuliu in the group. It is said that this person was specially recruited. It is unexpected that the person who came here to settle down also has a background.

But Liu Wuliu refused to say why he was lenient.

It didn't take a few days for Shen Ao to get a clear picture of these people, how many laborers there were, and how many people could only do simple jobs. He was confident, but he was not in a hurry!

Here, it will definitely fill you up, anyway, sweet potatoes and potatoes are enough. This shed can also be used to live in, so you don't have to sleep on the street! But you definitely can’t eat nothing. Do you want to mine or go to the Qianhu House in Tuntian to help? Oh, yes, the flying team is also recruiting, and the textile workshop and glass workshop now need apprentices...

Shen Ao knows them well, knows the family situation of each of them, and also knows their general personal skills. For example, one of them is a blacksmith, which surprised Shen Ao, because people with crafts can't live outside Too bad, why are you here to join in the fun?

But the craftsman said cheerfully: "How about Xishan, I can eat enough outside, but I work with my benefactors, and I feel at ease in my heart."

What a simple answer.

Shen Aoju has indicated it all.

And all these data were collected.

There are a group of strong and healthy people who have no worries at home and are sent directly to the outside of the customs. Now the outside of the customs is really tight for employment.

When the scholars arrived at each house, they had to persuade the men to allow their wives to work in the textile workshops. The sales of the textile workshops were very good, and the demand for people was great.

In addition, there are miners and so on.

Fang Jifan looked at the stacks of memorials sent by his disciples and grandchildren, and touched his head, really regretting the past.

…………

In the warm pavilion of the Forbidden City.

After going through court discussions, Emperor Hongzhi kept a straight face.

On his desk are the papers of the imperial examination for this subject.

Since it was a palace examination, the emperor himself would approve it personally, and now it's time to release the list.

Xiao Jing cautiously stood aside, he seemed to see His Majesty's thoughts, but at this moment, he dared not say anything, this is a palace test, it is definitely not something that a person like him can criticize at will, it must be decided by His Majesty himself.

Emperor Hongzhi held the vermilion pen, raised his eyes suddenly and said, "Xiao Banban, tell me, is Neo Confucianism good or new?"

These words made Xiao Jing questionable.

He couldn't answer.

Although he had read books in the inner study, he never thought about such brain-destroying things. But when His Majesty asked, he didn't dare not answer, so he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty thinks that the problem is not in learning."

"Oh?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing with a smile.

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi was still waiting for him to speak, Xiao Jing had no choice but to continue boldly: "The key to the problem lies in the people who study this knowledge. Your Majesty must hate Yang Tinghe very much, but does your Majesty think that if Yang Tinghe learns something new? Learning, wouldn’t he be able to figure out all the tricks and just sit and talk about the Tao? This servant thinks, yes, this is his nature.”

These words were indeed bold, but Emperor Hongzhi didn't mean to blame, but said: "But why do these newly learned scholars do things in a disciplined manner, which is different from others?"

"It's because the professor is good." Xiao Jing thought for a while and replied.

"If someone else were to teach the new knowledge, the result might be different. The servant knows that His Majesty

I must want to know, if everyone in the world learns new knowledge, won't this Ming Dynasty enter the age of heyday? The servants dare not speculate, but feel that no matter how good the knowledge is, the most important thing is that the professors also need the knowledge of this learning. The vibe is good or bad. Otherwise, anything can teach talents, and it can also teach many ignorant people. "

Emperor Hongzhi listened carefully, then nodded, um, it makes sense.

"It seems that the crown prince and Fang Jifan's running a school in Xishan is extremely effective."

Suddenly, Emperor Hongzhi laughed dumbly and said: "Now I understand a little bit why I am not as good as the crown prince."

He smiled, picked up the ink pen, and began to mark each test paper.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed extraordinarily serious. He was selecting the talents he needed most according to these strategies.

After the imperial approval, Emperor Hongzhi wrote: "Choose an auspicious day and release the list."

"Slaves obey orders!"

Xiao Jing glanced at Emperor Hongzhi complicatedly, His Majesty suddenly asked about new studies and Neo-Confucianism, just a mere new study, but an academy with two hundred teachers and students, how can it compare with the deeply rooted Neo-Confucianism?

But since His Majesty took it out for comparison, it can be seen that the weight of new learning has increased in His Majesty's heart.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi sighed, and said: "Then Liu Wuliu, I wonder if he has settled down. His mother's illness will definitely improve after seeking medical treatment."

Then, there was another sigh...

………………

The first day of March.

The weather has gotten warmer, at least Fang Jifan doesn't have to wear bulky sweaters anymore.

This day is the day when the results of the palace examination are released.

The imperial court has selected an auspicious day and released the list outside the tribute courtyard.

Fang Jifan was very excited when he heard the list was released!

This involves the future of my disciples and grandchildren. Fang Jifan loves his disciples as much as his grandsons. This is not bragging!

So early in the morning, he washed up early, while Liu Jie and others waited outside early.

Seeing Fang Jifan coming out of the mansion, Liu Jie and others hastily greeted Fang Jifan as teacher, Fang Jifan waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the Gongyuan."

Fang Jifan likes the bustling feeling outside the tribute courtyard, and it is a very pleasant thing to see his disciples and grandchildren on the list.

He also likes to see the way other scholars beat their chests and feet after losing their names, and he likes to hear people whining and mourning, and there are countless sour eyes.

Fang Jifan himself rode on a tall horse, followed by fifteen Gongsheng students.

But outside the tribute courtyard, Fang Jifan's face was pulled down.

What do you mean?

Why is it so deserted.

But I saw that outside the tribute courtyard, there were few people, and it was very depressed.

If Fang Jifan and others hadn't come to increase the popularity, otherwise, Fang Jifan even suspected that a bonfire could be set up here for barbecue.

Fang Jifan looked around, and there were some people who came to see the list, but there were few scholars, and even fewer people wearing square scarves. cared.

Fang Jifan let out a sigh of relief, could it be that... really broke people's hearts?

Blame myself for ignoring the principle of sustainable development.

So, here, outside the deserted tribute courtyard, standing under the cold list, a little cold, and a little cold in the heart, Fang Jifan left behind his disciples and grandchildren, the desolate back, he raised his eyes, suddenly lost the meaning of life.

In an instant, Fang Jifan finally found a reason for the death of the Ming Dynasty. Scholars, that is, these elites, have no indomitable spirit, no one has a thick skin, and they especially like to compare blindly. If they lose, they like to hide and play dead. Pretending to see nothing, even having the courage to face failure.

If these scholars don't reform well, sooner or later the Ming Dynasty will be ruined.

Fang Jifan was in a complicated mood.

But at this moment, a young man stood beside Fang Jifan again.

He was still the proud Xu Aoling back then.

Fang Jifan was touched for no reason, his eyes were a little red, it was not easy, this Xu Aoling, in his eyes, became a giant panda, so precious.

"You're here?"

"Yes!" Xu Aoling raised his head, looking at the blank position on the list: "I'm here."

"..." It's only been a few days, and I'm full of confidence again.

Wait...not in a hurry...Fang Jifan didn't make a sound, he decided not to irritate Xu Aoling just yet, don't even scare this guy away.

"Is it the wrong day today? It's very cold, and it doesn't look like it's going to be released on the imperial list at all." Xu Aoling said.

Fang Jifan said: "Yes..."

Fang Jifan nodded, speechless.

Xu Aoling's eyes lit up: "Here comes the list..."

Fang Jifan pretended to be excited: "Yes, here we come, here we come, all of you open your eyes wide, wide open your eyes."

…………………

I went to get an injection this afternoon to recover, but for some reason, there were a lot of people in the hospital today, so I was delayed, sorry.
