After Li Sancai was confiscated, Li Sancai's servants were also punished to certain extent, and many of them were arrested by the Jinyiwei for labor reform.︽小,...o&1t;/p>

However, the labor reform period is not long, generally only half a year to a year. It is purely just to pull the hairs by the geese, and to squeeze the value of labor from defeating famous slaves.&1t;/p>

The most exciting part of these people is Zhou Tongcai. During this period, Zhou Tongcai felt that he was simply in a 'dream'.&1t;/p>

Because the clues are effective, the emperor personally rewarded him with 10,000 taels of silver, which was like a kind of foot hit by a pie falling from the sky.&1t;/p>

Ten thousand taels of silver, the emperor's generosity made Zhou Tongcai incredible. He didn't know that Zhu Youxiao had to be generous enough to form an interest group with the same interests as him at this time. Only in this way can he form a stable interest group and compete with other interest groups.&1t;/p>

Holding a knife in one hand and silver in the other. If you are stingy, it will be useless.&1t;/p>

Xu Xianchun, deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, saw that Zhou Tongcai was talented in conversation, and learned that Zhou Tongcai had passed the exam and was used as an accountant for Li Sancai, then recommended it to the emperor.&1t;/p>

Not long after, Zhou Tongcai was transferred to the Taxation Bureau by Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao like Zhou Tongcai, who fails to get into the scholar and has good cultural studies, is actually the favorite thing he uses. Because these people do not have fame and fortune, they are much more pragmatic.&1t;/p>

Nowadays, many of the big shopkeepers and the like of those big business companies in the Ming Dynasty are from this kind of literati.&1t;/p>

Failure to get into a scholar does not mean that the education is not good. The imperial examination system has a characteristic that scholars are often the most difficult to get into. Many people get stuck when they study for a child.&1t;/p>

These scholars will consider changing careers if they fail to get a good exam.&1t;/p>

Scholars have more characteristics in changing careers. One is to study medicine. As the saying goes, scholars learn medicine and catch chickens in a cage. Ancient cultural people had a foundation in Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Zhouyi and Bagua, so it is easier to learn medicine. In addition, they learn fortune telling, Feng Shui, and they are also very good at studying medicine. They use the same set of theories.&1t;/p>

In addition to these ways out, it is to do accounting for people, shopkeepers, etc., but shopkeepers generally need to learn, and many of them start with apprentices.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty was founded for more than two hundred years, and the commodity economy was flooded, so there are many ways out in this regard.&1t;/p>

Studying medicine, fortune telling, and Feng Shui were the most mainstream directions for career transfer in the Song Dynasty, but in the Ming Dynasty, the main area of ​​literati's career transfer was still the business.&1t;/p>

To put it bluntly, these literati who failed to get fame and honor are also educated, and their abilities are not necessarily worse than those literati who passed the juren and jinshi. They are often much better than those juren and jinshi masters after being trained after transfer. Many local officials have recruited Shaoxing masters these days. To put it bluntly, they don’t care about government affairs. Basically, these Shaoxing masters who have no fame help them. Most of them sit in the back yamen to get money, or travel around the world all day long.&1t;/p>

If you have some hobbies, you will study medical skills, Feng Shui and other things all day long. If an official nowadays still understands medical skills, it would be very respectful.&1t;/p>

Traditional Chinese medicine has begun to decline in this era of material desires. I don’t know which SB was used to develop a “eight-class syndrome differentiation” system in the late Ming Dynasty, which simplified the six-class syndrome syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine. So much so that literati with some foundation can practice medicine after deciding to study for half a year after they switched.&1t;/p>

A Chinese medicine doctor who can become a half-year student naturally ended up with his grandma's house. But these days, literati, who have not had the mood to spend more than ten years learning the Six Classics Dialectics, how can they get married without money?&1t;/p>

This is the huge problem brought about by the commodity economy and the main reason for the decline of traditional Chinese medicine. This trend in the late Ming Dynasty became mainstream in the Qing Dynasty. Traditional Chinese medicine in the Qing Dynasty basically had eight-class syndrome differentiation. Later, due to poor hygiene conditions, plagues were everywhere, and a "plague school" traditional Chinese medicine was created. It was still very good at dealing with plagues, but it basically had little effect on dealing with conventional diseases.&1t;/p>

So when Western medicine invaded, the weak Chinese medicine was beaten to pieces. By the 21st century, the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine also taught the eight-class syndrome.&1t;/p>

Fortunately, there are still many traditional Chinese medicines that can diagnose the sixth meridians these days. The eight-class syndrome has not become the mainstream yet, but it has begun to expand the pandemic. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine in the late Ming Dynasty was still reliable. Although its level is not as good as that in the Song Dynasty, it is much better than in the modern era than in the Qing Dynasty.&1t;/p>

Zhou Tongcai, a demobilized cultural element, has not been able to develop fallacies and evil principles in the Four Books and Five Classics, so Zhu Youxiao prefers to use this type of talent.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the admission examinations for the "Royal College of Science and Technology" in various northern provinces also started at the same time. The number of students and scholars in the northern provinces referenced exceeded 8,000.&1t;/p>

The literati who had the intention to continue the scientific research in the Ming Dynasty, conservatively estimated that they would exceed 500,000.&1t;/p>

This is really a fierce competition among thousands of troops across a single-plank bridge. Therefore, many literati gradually just take the imperial examinations by trying their luck.&1t;/p>

Although there is no fame or fame for the Royal Academy of Sciences this time, many literati are willing to take a chance. Although they don’t know much about this Royal Academy of Sciences, having the opportunity to come into contact with the emperor is equivalent to "directly reaching the sky" and being able to contact the core of power of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

More than 8,000 people compete for 300 places, and the competition is really fierce.&1t;/p>

There are more than one hundred multiple-choice questions in front of the test paper.&1t;/p>

These questions are basically conceptual multiple-choice questions, such as: Do you think agriculture is important to the country? Then give a few optional answers.&1t;/p>

There are even multiple-choice questions, such as: When the problem is today, is the cause of the Ming Dynasty fair? Is there a huge benefit in maritime trade?&1t;/p>

After these more than 100 multiple-choice questions, if you can get all the answers, you can also get admission. Because this means that the candidate’s concept is the same as the emperor.&1t;/p>

But if you want to answer these multiple-choice questions correctly, you must first have correct judgment. Another thing is that there are many misleading things in the choice of answers. Even if many candidates judge the correct answer based on facts, they are misled by the choice of answers as the official standard answer is to say lies with their eyes open, and they will fill in the wrong answers against their conscience.&1t;/p>

There is a multiple-choice question even: If the Ming Dynasty develops according to the current situation, will it perish? Answer 1 The Ming Dynasty will last forever, and Answer 2: No, but the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. Answer 3: Destruction.&1t;/p>

The first of these three answers is to tell lies with your eyes open, but the courts of all dynasties have promoted this way. The second answer is an objective rule, but this is not the correct answer. Choosing the second answer means that you are either in hesitation and thus choose the compromise, or you do not have a deep understanding of the crisis of the Ming Dynasty. The third is the correct answer. Candidates who choose this answer generally have a deeper understanding of the potential crisis of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

Many candidates saw this multiple-choice question and decisively chose the first answer. They thought that the first one was the standard answer.&1t;/p>

The following test questions are divided into three parts: one is arithmetic, one is agriculture, and the other is machinery.&1t;/p>

Arithmetic allows these candidates to accept it. There is arithmetic in the imperial examination. Although it is similar to a formality, at least there are always. The arithmetic questions in the admissions test paper of the Royal Academy of Sciences are simple and difficult, and it depends on how many you can answer.&1t;/p>

Another one is agriculture. The test mainly involves basic knowledge in agriculture and some things that need to be carefully observed to produce crops. If these things can be answered correctly, it means that you are more interested in agriculture on weekdays and it is almost certain to be included by the Royal Academy of Sciences.&1t;/p>

But after a group of candidates looked at the agricultural test questions, ten thousand grass and mud horses rushed by in their minds. If they were time travelers, they would definitely curse: Go and your mother to compete!&1t;/p>

Who made most of these scholars be guys who are not diligent in four bodies and have no distinction between grains? Many of them have never done farm work, and have never carefully observed crops.&1t;/p>

But things are not absolute. When seeing such questions, some candidates who are interested in agriculture are overjoyed. Mechanical questions are relatively simple and common sense.&1t;/p>

After an exam, the candidates walked out of the examination room and then gathered together in groups of three or five to discuss the exam questions, complaining and lamenting.&1t;/p>

The most discussed question is the multiple-choice question of whether the Ming Dynasty perishes.&1t;/p>

Among the group of candidates who walked out of the Xi'an examination room, a young man said, "I chose the third answer."&1t;/p>

"Oh! Brother Dingwen, you really chose the third answer to that question? Wouldn't that end!" The candidate on the side exclaimed and said, "I heard that the new king is stupid, greedy, far away from a gentleman and close to a villain. This test question must be the first answer."&1t;/p>

The young man smiled and said calmly: "The harm of the eight-legged essay has been a long time ago. The new king will use miscellaneous studies to select scholars, and he must have a unique vision. And you can see when answering questions. In each multiple-choice question, there is a sharp answer to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty. If the new king wants someone who ignores the chaos in the Ming Dynasty and ignores it, why do you have to do this and create this Royal Academy of Sciences?"&1t;/p>

"This is a bad statement. The new king is just recruiting students, not necessarily recruiting students. If he enters the Royal Academy of Sciences, he may not be able to get his career!" Some candidates retorted.&1t;/p>

"Why do you need to take the exam for the Taiwan exam? The emperor has issued an order to open a charity. Wouldn't it be great if you go to the charity next year?" The young man sneered, then turned around and left.&1t;/p>

Just as the admissions examination of the Royal Academy of Sciences ended, Zhu Youxiao began to plan the casting of copper coins, copper coins, and silver coins in Beijing.&1t;/p>

The right to mint has been taken back from Nanjing and has now been officially handed over to Royal Bank.&1t;/p>

In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, taxes to the central government are compared with fire consumption first. The so-called fire consumption means that after the government collects taxes, it melts all kinds of silver of various colors and sizes into official silver. These official silvers are very large, including fifty taels, sixty taels, seventy to eighty taels, one hundred taels, etc. In order to prevent silversmiths from stealing silver during smelting, each silver ingot will be labeled with the name of the craftsman and the weight of the silver ingot.&1t;/p>

If silver dollars are minted, the silver dollars will be paid directly in the future, and there will be no fire consumption problem. Another thing is that silver dollars are consistent in quality and weight, which is convenient for the people to use. In addition, other low-priced metals can be included in the silver dollars. Only 90% of a silver dollar is silver, and ordinary people will also accept silver dollars because silver dollars are more convenient.&1t;/p>

In short, the profit of coin minting is very huge.&1t;/p>

However, how to cast copper coins, big coins, copper coins, and silver coins is a problem that must be carefully considered.&1t;/p>

ps: I went back to my hometown today, so I only had one update. These two days may not be too stable. Students, please forgive me!&1t;/p>&1t;/p>
