Chapter 1850 The Cub Roars, the Beast Panics

Jiao Quren rushed all the way to Beiping, and went to Fangjiazhuang immediately.

"how do you feel?"

Jiao Quren was the first student to come back, Fang Xing was a little curious about his insights and gains these days.

"Shan Zhang, the people below are still quite ignorant, and they only care about their own food, clothing, housing and transportation. They don't care about what happened to Ming Dynasty."

Fang Xing asked with interest: "Then do you have an answer?"

Jiao Quren bowed his head and thought for a while, then said: "Shan Zhang, my disciple... thinks it's because of ignorance. And ignorance needs to be broken through science, but this is far from enough. The government also needs to loosen the ties of the people so that they can live more freely." Find a way of life that suits you.”

After speaking, he looked at Fang Xing with some trepidation, wanting him to comment.

Fang Xing's face was sullen, and when Jiao Quren felt a little flustered, he smiled and said, "That's right, if you have such an understanding, it's not in vain."

"sit down."

Fang Xing pointed to the chair, and after he sat down, he said: "Today someone said that Zhu Fang has a lot of good things in his possession, so they should let them out. I will also tell you about this."

"For example, looms, our looms are powerful, right? But I only dare to give them to government-run workshops, not to private individuals. Why do you think this is?"

Jiao Quren thought for a while, and said in a dilemma: "Shan Zhang, I saw many women weaving in the Xuanfu, so I can more or less subsidize the family..."

Fang Xing asked with a smile, "Who are you selling it to?"

Jiao Quren was immediately stopped by the question. After a while, he took a deep breath and said in fear: "This disciple is really a brat. He only saw what was in front of him, but he lost his overall plan. If he releases that sharp weaving weapon , It won’t be long before the price of cotton upstream will inevitably rise, and the merchants downstream will inevitably lower their prices.”

Fang Xing nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"Every household weaves cloth, and the price of cotton will increase for sure, and the people will grow more cotton in the coming year...there will be more and more cloth, and Daming can only buy so much. Once it exceeds this range... The price of cotton and cloth is priceless, no one will buy it.”

Fang Xing said happily: "That's what it means. Once the product exceeds the market's demand, it will be saturated, and saturation will inevitably lead to a price collapse. At that time, everyone on the entire line will be unlucky, and the turmoil caused will even endanger Daming. That's why I won't release the loom at the moment.

"

"You go home and prepare. I will go to His Majesty later to discuss your future. However, according to the previous plan, you can only start as an official. Do you have any complaints?"

"No."

Jiao Quren said seriously: "Shan Zhang, I have studied in the academy and experienced a lot outside, and I know very well the truth that it is difficult to be an official without being an official. Being an official is just like being a human being. You have to bow down and observe. He boasted every day, but he was an official in the former Song Dynasty, but Ming could not be like this. The disciples must be trembling and get along with colleagues in harmony, but they will not be weak. Be friendly with the people and listen to their sufferings more. Take this life."

...

"A lot of students from the academy have come back?"

Jian Yi sneered and said, "It's about to start! Tell those people about it and see how they handle it. If you don't care, then I will leave the office."

The old students of Zhixing Academy have all returned, and most of them went to Fangjiazhuang first. What are they going to do?

Fang Xing had already entered the palace and was talking with the emperor alone, which sparked a round of speculation.

The outside world will speculate, but the regent bachelors don't need it.

"The students of Zhixing Academy are about to become officials."

Yang Pu only felt creepy, but he didn't know what he was afraid of.

Huang Huai murmured, "It's finally here!"

"I always thought that this day would never come, that he would always spread slowly. Who knew such momentum...Why is he doing this? And how will His Majesty make a decision on this matter?"

Jin Youzi said coldly: "In the name of His Majesty, those people will become seventh-rank officials if they come out, okay! You have reached the sky in one step!"

Yang Rong said in a deep voice: "Back then Xing Hebo said that the students of the academy can only start from small officials. This is what he said when he was Emperor Wen, and I can testify to it."

Jin Youzi laughed and said, "But what about Ma Su? What about Li Ermao? Besides, His Majesty is now in charge. As long as he speaks to His Majesty, he will let those students choose the official position? What kind of petty official, Yu Qian is the petty official!"

Yu Qian's experience has become a model of inspiration in the officialdom, but no one has followed suit. If you really learn from Yu Qian and become a small official, who will remember you then!

"At least eight grades!"

Jin Youzi sighed and said: "We have studied hard for many years in the cold window, and those students only need a few years to become officials based on their connections. Everyone, who will be an official in Ming Dynasty in the future?"

After a while of silence, Yang Pu said, "What does Mr. Jian say?"

Jin Youzi sneered and said, "Jian Yi is an old fox. He just got someone to spread the news, and he made it clear that he didn't want to stand out. But who doesn't know the news? Why does he need someone to spread the word? This clearly means, you It can be figured out, I, Jian Yi, will beat the gongs and drums for you at the side."

Yang Pu has been burying his head in writing, Huang Huai said displeasedly: "Others are going to dig our roots, how can you still be at ease? Huh!"

Huang Huai saw an article on that piece of paper, and the title was...

"Imperial Supervision?"

"Imperial Supervision?"

Jin Youzi's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's right! The students who come out of the Guozijian may not be able to arrange it. Why should the students from Zhixing Academy be given priority?"

Huang Huai Fuxu agreed, "That's right! Even the Imperial Academy can't arrange it, so why give preferential treatment to private academies?"

Yang Pu slowly smeared the article with a brush until the whole paper became ink blobs with a blank face.

Everyone was quietly dealing with official business, Yang Pu quietly crumpled the piece of paper, got up and went outside.

Jin Youzi shook his head slightly, Yang Shiqi was a little helpless, but Yang Rong looked at Yang Pu's back meaningfully, feeling extremely apprehensive.

...

"Come on from the ninth grade."

Zhu Zhanji and Fang Xing were walking outside the hall, and Song Laoshi followed behind with a broom in his arms, like a bodyguard.

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "They are officials from the very beginning, no matter whether they have the ability or not, I don't think it is advisable. In the future, it is best to slowly form rules, no matter whether it is Jinshi or someone else, they should start with small officials. If you don’t want to do it, that’s speculation, you should get out!”

Zhu Zhanji smiled bitterly: "This idea is undoubtedly the best, but... this is equivalent to a decisive battle, and I don't have any confidence at this moment!"

"I also think it's a bit scary. Counterattacks will make people terrified. That's not a problem that the army can solve, so it needs to be subtle and force them to adapt and change step by step."

At this time, Shen Shitou came in a hurry, and approached and told: "Your Majesty, someone went to the Imperial College to say..."

He glanced at Fang Xing, Fang Xing smiled and said, "Does it mean that the students of Zhixing Academy are going to compete with them for jobs?"

Shen Shitou nodded, and said, "Those students started to make a fuss, but they were suppressed."

Zhu Zhanji said lightly: "Since Emperor Taizu Gao, he has repeatedly warned that students are not allowed to discuss politics. Many of the Guozijian are not even students. They are arrogant and think that they will be famous in the world. , awarding Xiangyin...in fact, it is just a high opinion of oneself, which is unusable."

Zhu Zhanji pondered for a while, and said: "In the future, the Guozijian must be controlled, and it cannot be the source of officials. If you want to be an official, you should bow down. If you don't understand the people's livelihood and the difficulties of the world, how can you be an official? That will only harm civil!"

Fang Xing nodded and said, "Do you remember Wang Jinggong?"

Zhu Zhanji said: "Yes, Wang Jinggong was helpless when he was an official. Later, he learned from the pain and has been looking for opportunities to serve as an official close to the people, but he couldn't help himself."

Fang Xing sighed: "Yes! Wang Jinggong is so talented and ambitious. He still feels that he has not learned enough, and he wants to sink. This is because he is worried that he will not know what to do. It is like a blind man trying to figure out an elephant. Naturally, there will be many mistakes in administration. If you start from a small official, then I will I think it will be much better."
