"At this time, Cheng Yaozu naturally didn't know that the 200,000 taels of silver he gave not only brought him huge wealth, but also prompted the birth of the first invention patent bill in the north. Here, he was sitting anxiously

Waiting for news at Zhou Weifeng's home, although he sent a large sum of silver to Yun Zhao, he didn't know what the result would be. Maybe the next moment, soldiers would come to the door to take him away and imprison him, and his wealth would be instantly

Turn into flowing water.

In order to plunder wealth, the government did not do much in such a thing in the past. He only raised his courage. He felt that the Zhengbei Prefecture under Yun Zhao was very different from the previous governments, so he gritted his teeth and tried it out, and asked for wealth and honor in danger.

Take a gamble and there may be an unexpected result.

Although Zhou Weifeng is an official of Zhengbei Prefecture, his Fengrui Bing Workshop has been completely sold to Zhengbei Prefecture. Now he is a complete official, but as a former boss, he naturally enjoys seeing it. In the past, he used to do a workshop.

If a new thing is released, it will be imitated and sold at a low price. There are many things that will make the inventor lose all his money. If it can be successful, it will be extremely beneficial to the development of these military workshops in the North.

"Don't worry, Boss Cheng, even if it doesn't work, it's nothing. You'll have a life!" Zhou Weifeng said. "Besides, you are also an official, and you won't be punished for no reason."

Cheng Yaozu smiled bitterly, "Brother Zhou, my official position is just an honor. It sounds nice to say, and my children and grandchildren have a bright face, but if something really happens, they won't be able to do anything!"

Zhou Weifeng remained silent. He couldn't take any attention to this matter. It was the limit he could do to introduce Cheng Yaozu to Ma Yigong. After all, he was just a director in charge of ordnance in the Ministry of War.

These two people were worried about gains and losses at home and were uneasy. In Zhenbei Wang Mansion, the senior officials of Zhengbei Mansion had already put this matter aside. After all, this is not the focus, and it is not something that will take effect in one or two days. Everyone's topic

It has been transferred to this imperial examination.

Looking through the list of scholars who were selected this time, looking at their rankings and their ranks, Yun Zhao frowned, "Are the scholars in our north far inferior to those from the south? These dozens of scholars in the south taken

The rankings in the market are all very high, and all the three-tier families are from the south," they looked very unhappy on their faces.

Guo Changxing, the Minister of Rites who presided over this major examination, quickly said: "Your Majesty, you said at the beginning that these dozens of scholars must be successful regardless of their talent and knowledge. What they want is the meaning of a thousand gold horse bones, and we should also hold them.

With such a thought, after the exam, these people's talents are indeed higher than those of our Northland, especially the top three, which is completely different from other people. Our original plan failed.

Prince, to be honest, except for these three players, we have also suppressed the rankings for the rest, otherwise the face of the Northern Scholar would be too ugly.”

"This is also impossible!" Yao Changkun nodded and said: "For the past decade, wars have continued, so it would be good to survive. There is still time to study and do research. Originally, the literary spirit of the north is weaker than that of the south. Over the years, over the years, the literary spirit of the north is weaker than that of the south.

, the literary spirit in the north has withered even more."

"So Lord Guo, you have a long way to go!" Yun Zhao looked at Guo Changxing, "You must hurry up and keep the matter at Daxing School in Beidi, so you can't let Beidi fall behind forever."

Han Zhong smiled and said, "Prince, I don't think you can walk on the Central Plains and go to Beijing. At that time, no matter how far it is, the north and the south, it is your people. Don't the scholars in the south use it for you?"

Yun Zhao shook his head repeatedly, "That's it, but have you ever thought about it? If the north continues like this, then in the future, the officials from the south will all come from the south. People have a plot of homesickness, so do it really

In this case, it will be very unfavorable to the north. We come from the north and rely on the people of the north to reach this day. We cannot forget our original meaning!”

After hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly and said that the regional balance of officials in the court is also a very important issue.

"Prince, how do you arrange these scholars who are selected?" asked Zhao Xu, Minister of Personnel.

Yun Zhao did not answer him, but turned to look at Guo Feng in the corner. The core of Zhengbei Prefecture was discussing the matter. Guo Feng always sat in the corner and rarely spoke without asking about him.

"Guo Feng, what's new about you?"

Hearing Yun Zhao's question, Guo Feng stood up and owed his body, "Prince, there is indeed something new."

"Oh, let's hear!"

Everyone looked at Guo Feng with a focused expression. Zhao Xu had just asked this question, and Yun Zhao immediately turned to Guo Feng. Obviously, what Guo Feng was going to say next must be related to this big exam.

"There are thirty-two scholars in the south who sneaked into the north to take the exam this time. The oldest is fifty-three and the youngest is eighteen. We have conducted a detailed investigation of each person. At the beginning, no problems were found, but

Yesterday, the latest investigation report came out, which surprised me.”

Hearing Guo Feng's words, everyone's faces changed, "Is there a spy from the other party among these thirty-two people?"

Guo Feng shook his head, "No, the spy is not, but this three-level person is so interesting. I was also surprised by their origins."

"Who are they?" When Guo Changxing heard this, his face changed a little. He personally took these three people. If there is really a problem, his face will be dull, not to mention that this list has been released.

Go out.

"Yang Rongping, Zhuangyuan Duke, this is his name here. In our investigation, his family tree was completely leaked, and there was no problem at all, but everyone knows what his true identity is."

Everyone looked at him without saying a word.

"His real name is Yang Qing. This name is very unfamiliar to everyone, but Yang Hong must be well-known for his name," Guo Feng said with a smile.

Yang Hongfa, the governor of Luzhou in the Southern Dynasty, had a deep relationship with Cao Yi, the chief minister of the Southern Dynasty.

"This Yang Qing is a relative of the Yang family in Luzhou, and she has a good talent." Guo Feng said with a smile.

After hearing Guo Feng's words, everyone's faces changed a little, "This Yang Qing is from the Yang family, what about the other two?" Guo Changxing's face had begun to turn green.

"The two people with the other side, Zheng Zhimiao, whose original name is Zheng Xiang, is a son of the Zheng family in Tongzhou. Liu Tong, whose original name is Liu Shuangyi, is from the Liu family in Jingzhou. Although these three people are not the direct lineage of these three aristocratic families, there is no doubt that they are

The branches of these aristocratic families are the best choices in the family. The three of them come from three states. We didn't pay attention to them. Their forged life documents are flawless, but these three people are locally

They are more famous people. When an official from our office department was walking in these three states, he accidentally discovered that these three people died at the same time in about the same time. The family had a funeral and there were graves. This is too

qiguài. So we went to dig one of the graves."

“It’s empty inside”

"Yes, it's empty!" Guo Feng said. "This incident attracted our attention. After a thorough investigation, we finally found out the identities of these three people. But when I received the report, Lord Guo's list

I've come out and these three people are in the top three, so I feel a little trouble."

"Interesting!" Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Yang Hongfa! This Luzhou magistrate is a supporter of Cao Yi, and actually sent his children to my north to take the exam. Everyone, what does this mean?"

Ma Yigong pondered: "Prince, this is also a good thing from one side!"

"Speak!"

"The reason why aristocratic families stand is because they never put eggs in one basket. Whenever the world is in chaos and there are signs of a change of dynasty, they will always disperse their children and divide different forces, so no matter what,

If one side wins in the end, maybe this aristocratic family will be hit hard, but there will always be cigarettes. It won’t take many years to rise again. Yang Hongfa did this, and he must have felt that we have the strength to win the world.

For a long-term plan, this Yang Qing was sent out."

"Not bad!" Han Zhong nodded and said, "This is a common trick used by aristocratic families. Our Northern Dynasty literati have withered, and this Yang Qing is very talented. This can be seen from the fact that he can be the top scorer in high school. If we cannot find his identity, this Yang Qing

If you have pragmatic abilities, you will definitely be valued. In this way, when we win in the future, the Yang family in Luzhou will be hit by us, but this branch will thrive!”

Yun Zhao nodded slightly, "It seems that Zheng Xiang and Liu Shuangyi are also for the same reason!"

"It must be true. The aristocratic families have always done this. Unless it is because of some unscrupulous reasons, or if we feel that we will never let them go, we will fight to the death and never stop. Otherwise, it will be like this." Pan Renzhi added.

"Prince, how to deal with these three people"

Yun Zhao waved his hand, "Since he came, he was at ease. Everyone said just now, this is a good thing. We should do it as a good thing. There is no need to show off the identities of these three people. It is limited to the people here, but we also

We can't let the other party think we are easy to cheat. Lord Guo, tomorrow, I will host the No. 1 pick, the No. 1 pick, Tanhua."

"Knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger!" Ma Yigong clapped his hands and smiled. "Maybe these three people are of great use."

"It's better to allocate it to our ranks," said Guo Feng.

"Get out!" Yun Zhao cursed with a smile: "These three are all top talents, so it's not OK to be a spy when you go to your place. If necessary, you can help you. If you want them, you don't even have any door.

”

Everyone laughed.

"What about other people?" Yun Zhao knocked on the list in his hand.

"There are two more, but regardless of family strength or reputation, it is not worth mentioning."

Yun Zhao nodded, "Okay, that's it. These Southern Dynasties first ranked them in some precious but unpragmatic departments to observe for a while. If you really have the ability and have no problems, you will reuse them. I don't want to read it.

The dead book nerd.”

"Yes!" Zhao Xu bowed and said, this was his duty as the Ministry of Personnel.

"Let's just do it today. The mansion is full of porridge. I won't leave everyone's food anymore. It's not good to eat here." Yun Zhao picked up the teacup.

Everyone stood up and saluted them together. They turned around and exited the door.

Ma Yigong walked at the end and arrived at the door and suddenly turned around, "Prince, after the wedding with Princess Yardan, why not you strike while the iron is hot and hold another wedding with General Yan!"

Yun Zhao looked at him dumbfoundedly, and after a while he realized what Ma Yigong was thinking, he couldn't help but spit and said, "Okay, I'm fine, but you still have to talk to Miaomiao about this matter, she

If you agree, that's OK!"
