In the Imperial Palace.
Zhu Biao had just left the royal study.
Li Shan Chang came to ask for an audience.
"What?"
"Have those hundreds of scholars completely mastered the knowledge of potato farming?”
"Men! Immediately gather all the officials!"
"Li Shan Chang, summon those scholars into the palace!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said solemnly.
"Yes!"
Lee Shan Chang was shocked, but he immediately agreed.
At this moment, most of the scholars gathered in the capital could not afford to take the exam.
Under normal circumstances, they would never have the right to step foot into the Imperial Court!
Li Shan Chang also thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would directly issue an imperial edict and send those scholars to the suburbs of the capital.
He had never expected this.
Zhu Yuanzhang actually cared so much about these scholars!
Thus, after Lee Shan Chang left the royal study, he immediately left the palace as quickly as possible to gather those scholars.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Dong!"
Amidst the deafening bell chimes.
The officials of the various departments in the Imperial Palace all rushed toward the court.
The officials quickly gathered in the court.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne.
His face was solemn.
All the officials were silent.
They were all very surprised.
He did not understand why Zhu Yuanzhang would suddenly gather all the officials.
There were even officials who frequently cast their gazes at the few high-ranking officials of the Ministry of War.
According to the cabinet system.
When there was a major military matter, Zhu Yuanzhang would gather all the officials to discuss.
Many officials secretly guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang had gathered all the officials at this time because there was an unusual movement at the border!
As for the officials of the Ministry of War, they were all at a loss.
They knew that the border of Great Ming was very stable at this time!
There was no abnormal movement at all!
"Everyone."
"I have gathered all of you here today.”
"I want you to witness something big!”
"Men! Bring that thing out of the hall!"
"Yes!"
Ten carriages quickly arrived outside the main hall.
There were palm-sized potatoes piled up on the carriages!
The officials saw the potatoes.
All of them widened their eyes.
There were rumors that Zhu Yuanzhang had obtained a large amount of grain with a high yield per mu.
However, most of the officials had not seen the grain, so many people remained skeptical.
But now.
Those rumors were undoubtedly confirmed!
"These potatoes will be sent to the counties in the suburbs of the capital today!”
"Li Shan Zhang!"
"Yes!"
Lee Shan Chang quickly stood up.
"Bring those scholars here!"
"Yes!"
Lee Shan Chang ran out of the court with small steps.
Then, batches of scholars were brought out of the royal court.
Most of these scholars were wearing the clothes of ordinary civilians.
Many of them even had patches on their clothes.
Compared to the officials in the imperial court, these scholars 'clothes could be considered shabby.
At this time, after all, Da Ming had just established a country.
The world had only been stable for a dozen years.
The competition for the imperial examination was not that intense.
Those with a little knowledge could usually pass the examination.
Most of these people with a little knowledge came from wealthy families.
Or maybe it was the Huaixi Faction that was secretly supported by Li Shan Chang and the others.
And those who could not pass the imperial examination were mostly poor scholars with not much family background.
They could all be called disciples of the Humble Class!
At this moment, the Humble Class disciples standing outside the Imperial Court were huddled together in a disorderly manner before the stairs leading to the Imperial Court, all of them looking up at the Imperial Court.
Most of the Humble Class disciples were extremely excited!
Didn't they study hard for many years in order to be able to rise up in the royal court?!
This was the place that they dreamed of!
Unfortunately, their education conditions were far inferior to those of the children of wealthy families.
In terms of examinations, they were often far inferior to the children of wealthy families.
At this moment, the officials in the imperial court looked at these poor children with disdain.
They were just a bunch of losers in the examination hall!
However, at the next moment.
Something that shocked all the officials happened.
Zhu Yuanzhang actually stood up personally and slowly walked down from the dragon throne. He walked straight out of the hall and walked to the steps.
He stood in front of those Humble Class disciples!
When the Humble Class disciples saw Zhu Yuanzhang, they were shocked.
They all knelt on the ground.
"Long live my emperor!!”~
"Rise."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked around.
The corners of his mouth curled up rapidly.
Poor scholars who mainly relied on the children of poor families.
Wasn't this the best weapon to implement the new tax law against the great clans?!
So what if his knowledge was lacking?
So what if he did not do well in the test?!
To be able to uphold the laws of the country and protect the civilians!
He would be able to firmly implement the new tax law in the future!
That was a good official!
Zhu Yuanzhang would stand firmly behind these good officials and be their strongest backer!!
"From now on."
"All of you are the officials of my Great Ming Village."
"Everyone will go to the suburbs of the capital and enter the villages to promote the new crop, potatoes.”
"In three months, when the potatoes are ripe, I will personally evaluate you.”
"The person who performs the best in promoting potatoes will be personally awarded an official position!”
"The local clans, the village chief, and even the county government must do their best to help you!”
"However, the matter of planting potatoes still requires everyone to do it personally!”
"This is related to the livelihood of countless people in Great Ming.”
"Great Ming's national treasury is not rich, so the salary of the local officials is temporarily unavailable. They only have a mouthful of hot food and a place to settle down in the county government. The treatment is not good and the rank is the lowest, but they shoulder such a heavy responsibility!”
"I ask all of you not to slack off!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a moment, then suddenly cupped his hands and bowed to the Humble Class disciples at the foot of the stairs.
Behind Zhu Yuanzhang, all the officials quickly knelt down.
At this moment.
The Humble Class disciples at the foot of the steps were all stunned.
In the next moment, countless scholars knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes.
"I will do my best until I die!”
"I offer my blood to Great Ming!"
"I won't disappoint Your Majesty!"
……
There were hysterical shouts.
It resounded outside the Imperial Court!
It was like rolling thunder!
"Biao Er, did you see that?"
Zhu Yuanzhang straightened his back.
He looked at the scholars who had received the waist token of the local officials and sat on the carriages that left.
A smile appeared on his face.
"These people will definitely be the future of my Great Ming!”
"Yes! Your son will remember it!"
