Chapter 90 The Great Ming Dynasty Comes out with a Auspicious Auspicious Sign [1]
It didn't take long for the four scholars to see the Emperor Hongzhi together. After the ceremony, the Emperor passed Wang Ao's memorials one by one to the four people to watch. He waited patiently for the response of the ministers. After a while, Liu Ji raised his head from the memorials and asked, 'Holy Father, is this really true? This is too weird. What did Commander Mu find? Is there a secret instrument submitted? ""
The Emperor Hongzhi was not surprised by the reaction of the ministers. He smiled and handed Mou Bin's memorial to several scholars. Everyone watched it one by one. Liu Jian was always decisive, brave and sharp. He came forward and said, 'Holy Master, it seems that this son is really good, different from ordinary people. The Royal Guards entered the Enchanting Valley, causing heavy casualties, Commander Mou will not fail to investigate this matter, so there must be nothing false. This son's mentor was only a child, and his scribe was only a scholar. But he was able to pass the provincial examination of Shaanxi Chief Political Envoy, which was really unexpected. He really responded to the saying that "there is a champion apprentice, but no champion master". I think that the character and talent of Lord Wang Ao was really moved by this son's article, so he was admitted to the village examination. Since the founding of our country in the Ming Dynasty, there have been many talented people, and there are many young people who have won the village examination. But there have been no 13 year olds who have won the village examination. ''
Liu Jian solemnly congratulated the Emperor Hongzhi, saying, 'The minister congratulated the emperor on the emergence of a peerless talent under his rule. Xie Chun was safe in the Enchanting Valley for several days, but the Royal Guards' son of heaven's army suffered heavy casualties. This shows that this son has great fortune. He also brought three precious high-yield seeds from the Enchanting Valley, and has great insights into the Yellow River governance strategy and the promotion of the three treasures of farmers, It's really an extraordinary man and a common man. My minister Liu Jian is here to congratulate the sage. I have a good fortune in the world of Ming Dynasty, which is also a good omen for the sage. ''
Liu Ji was slightly displeased with Liu Jian's words, but he didn't say anything more. Such an amazing young talent has made great contributions to Daming. All kinds of unusual performances are not achievable by ordinary people. It's not too bad to say that he is a lucky man of Daming, so he didn't object.
The Emperor Hongzhi laughed when he heard what Liu Jian said. He pointed to Liu Jian and said loudly, 'Liu Qing's family, it's rare to see you praise others so much. It seems that Xie Chun is really different from ordinary people. He has made such great contributions. The Qing's family will discuss how to reward Xie Chun and his family. ''
Liu Ji, as the first assistant minister, after a little meditation, suggested to the Emperor Hongzhi: 'Holy Master, I will watch the music played by Lord Wang Ao and Commander Mou. Although he was born in a humble family, he has a great ambition to govern the country. He passed the provincial examination at the age of 13, and thought he would definitely come to the capital to participate in the conference and palace examinations and become an official with the imperial examination. The minister thought that his family should be rewarded. This son should first be granted a title to demonstrate his unique achievements in obtaining the three treasures of farmers for the state, and then establish a file for him to record his merits in the official department. After he participated in the palace examination, he will become an official. Then he will be rewarded accordingly. What's the emperor's intention? ''
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xu Pu also unanimously agreed with Liu Ji's proposal. Emperor Hongzhi also wanted Xie Chun to join the imperial examination. At this time, the Ming Dynasty had reached the peak of civil service. During the Chenghua period, it had established a practice that officials who were not born of a commoner or a lucky man could not enter the cabinet. Xie Chun, a man of such great talent, should be admitted to the cabinet anyway to help him govern the country, So the Emperor Hongzhi nodded to agree with Liu Ji's suggestion, and the matter was settled. As for the title to be awarded, it was up to the Emperor's will.
Liu Ji was the first assistant bachelor in the cabinet. Naturally, he thought carefully, and then he told the emperor, 'Holy Master, Xie Chun's ancestors are all farmers. Although they can read, they are not knowledgeable after all. They are good at planting the three treasures of farmers. They also have a great understanding of the harvest and storage of three crops. Instead of being called civilian officials, they mainly promote the planting and storage experience of three treasures, It is precisely 'when there is specialization in the field of art, things will do their best.' It is enough for the Lord to give him another name and change the yellow scroll. Other people can be rewarded as usual, but Tao Run, the magistrate of Yichuan County, is a talented person. Soon after taking office, he set up a number of major cases, including arresting the murderer, punishing the obstinate petty officials, and solving the county trial fraud cases. Last year, he was assessed as superior by the officials' department for his contributions to transforming the wasteland of King Qin Terrace, and now he has set up support for Xie Chun's efforts to plant three farm treasures in King Qin Terrace, There is also the virtue of opening a rural school for beginners, as well as the way to make a living for poor scholars. What they have done is worth promoting in the prefectures and counties where the style of writing is not prosperous. He also has the intention of marrying Jie Chun. It is better for him to promote his official position by the order of the saints and complete Tao Jie's marriage by the way. It is also the beauty of becoming a person. How about the idea of the saints? ''
The Emperor of Hongzhi was convinced and nodded in agreement with Liu Ji's speech. The other three scholars had no objection, so the Emperor of Hongzhi issued a decree to the Ministry of Officials to follow suit. Later, he handed over Xie Chun's strategy of "controlling sediment in the upper reaches, blocking sediment in the middle reaches, and bundling water in the lower reaches" to several senior scholars for discussion and decision, and finally decided to send someone to take this strategy, It was handed over to Bai Ang who was harnessing the Yellow River waterway and asked him to carefully consider harnessing the Yellow River according to the real situation.
This time, Liu Ji did not take more power to interfere, but carried out what Xie Chun said, "There is specialization in the field of technology." Liu Jian looked at Liu Ji and felt that he was a different person. He no longer took a basket of things on his own, and even handed the power to govern the Yellow River waterway to Bai Ang for full supervision, which Liu Ji could never do before; As for the problem of foreign nationalities mentioned by Xie Chun after that, because it is too far from reality, we put it aside first. Now we are really focusing on the promotion and planting of the three treasures of farmers, and when it has achieved results, we will consider dealing with foreign nationalities outside the Serbia.
After all the people said goodbye to the Emperor Hongzhi and walked out of the hall together, Liu Jian asked Liu Ji curiously, 'Liu Shoufu, why do you look like a different person today? Are you completely relieved that Bai Ang will govern alone? ''
Liu Ji suddenly sighed, as if he had suddenly understood something: 'I still have to ask questions. I suddenly realized that all the adults are well educated and have a good knowledge of ancient and modern times. If you give the three crops to people and me, what will their fate be? Have you thought about it carefully? In any case, if it comes to me and I know that it is non-toxic and delicious, it is probably to fill my stomach, or to give it to people to plant, but only to bury it in the field for my own sake, how can I think of promoting it to the world after careful study. Xie Chun said it was good to say that "there is a specialty in the field of technology". He handed it to his parents to carefully study, speculate and plant it. In just two years, he studied the cutting technology in spring and summer and the fertilizer and water needed by crops. This son is not only academically talented, but also has great wisdom in his vision and employment. He really wants to see this demon boy. Since 'there is expertise in the industry', we will entrust the Yellow River harnessing to people who have experience in water harnessing. We can do a good job in employing people and preparing goods. Why don't we pretend to command them and cause unnecessary losses? ''
Liu Jian, Xu Pu and Li Dongyang couldn't help sighing at the same time, and spontaneously saluted Liu Ji: 'Thanks for Liu Shoufu's teaching, and we three must keep it in mind. In the future, we will go all out to assist the Chief and help the Saint General Daming govern the country more prosperously.' '
In the backyard of Yichuan County Yamen, it has been raining constantly these days. The cold rain has eroded people's spirits. Today is a rare sunny day. Tao Liu's servant arranged to dry the bedding early in the morning. When she was busy, she saw her husband come in smiling, put down the cloth pillow in her hand, and asked Tao Run curiously, 'My husband, what happy event has made you so happy? Wan'er is not afraid to see that the unruly girl will make fun of you again. ''
