Chapter 2497

The front hall is completely decorated in the style of the Ming Dynasty. Several calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall, one of which is orchid, which is elegant and indifferent with a few strokes.

The officials on the left and the gentry on the right are Fang Xing.

Qian Ying sat down first on the left and said something about the loyalty of local officials and gentry to Daming.

Such platitudes naturally have little nutrition. If they were usual, these officials and gentry would probably wander abroad.

But today they are all listening to Qian Ying's words carefully. They wake up from time to time with curiosity in their eyes, but more fear.

"... this year's copper and iron production will strive to be 10% higher than last year."

Qian Ying woke up with a smile after reporting.

Most of the officials are Chinese, but the gentry, on the contrary, are local.

Fang woke up and looked at these gentry and said, "North Korea has become more and more stable in recent years. Your majesty and the central government have greatly appreciated your role. Therefore, your highness and Ben Bo originally wanted to go south, but they still came across the sea to represent your majesty to come down and see you."

These are all routine words, but a gentleman suddenly stood up, knelt down towards the capital and shouted, "long live your majesty!"

With tears in his eyes, the remaining gentry knelt down and shouted.

Fang woke up and saw the consternation of the officials, which showed that the gentry were not so excited in the past.

He raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty knows your loyalty, so he is going to restart the imperial examination here this year."

"Long live your majesty!"

The gentry suddenly burst out with greater enthusiasm. Some people actually cried and couldn't help themselves.

Since it was designated as the chief envoy department, there has been no imperial examination here because of constant screening, which makes many locals complain that they have been treated differently.

Imperial examination, imperial examination is to be an official!

If you can't be an official, why do you study hard?

The action of clearing up the gentry and annexing land also spread here, but it was just a rumor and was not implemented immediately.

This is a matter of taking into account popular support.

The common people are foolish in many times, and the gentry, as a middle class, monopolize the right to speak. They can easily confuse people, spread rumors and amplify some fears.

So Qian Ying has been patient.

But now he obviously doesn't want to put up with it.

Fang Xing, the murderer king, arrived in North Korea. He didn't start at this time, but when to wait!

So he got up and said with a smile, "you talents, if you want to come, you will be able to win the palace."

"Thank you, my Lord."

The gentry got up to wipe their tears, but the atmosphere of joy began to spread out gradually.

How many people are studying in North Korea? The gentry present, whether in terms of knowledge or insight, could easily dump them for more than a dozen blocks.

So once the township test is reopened in North Korea, it is almost prepared for them.

Qian Ying said as if she didn't know these things: "last year, the central government ordered all localities to clean up and donate. I carried it hard. At least I collected more grain for one year, but it won't be this year."

His words in front of him were suspected of buying people's hearts, but Fang woke up but remained unmoved.

He was watching the laughter of happiness vanishing in an instant, and the gentry couldn't believe Qian Ying.

"My lord..."

Someone wanted to argue, but he glanced at Fang Xingduan and sat on his head. His eyes narrowed slightly and immediately took back his words.

This is going to kill!

So the atmosphere in the front hall became awkward.

No one spoke. These gentry were in a dilemma.

They were the people who resolutely turned to Daming. As a reward, they got a lot of benefits.

Now the court wants to reclaim the land, so... How can you live?

But Fang woke up and sat there drinking tea, but they didn't dare to make a sound.

It's hard to lose those extra fields. If you don't lose them, you'll probably lose your life.

Everyone woke up with a sneak glance from time to time. Seeing that he still looked indifferent, his heart became more and more flustered somehow.

"Of course, it should."

A gentry agreed first, but his face seemed to hang half a catty of bitter water, which was unbearable.

So everyone agreed, and the atmosphere seemed to restore harmony.

Fang Xing said, "nine times out of ten the world has cleared up the contributions, and only North Korea and Yingzhou are still waiting. How can your majesty rest assured of these two places? I'm afraid it's too late for this year's imperial examination. Start again next year. County, government and township examinations, and then those with both political integrity and ability will fly all the way to the capital. I'll congratulate you first."

Suddenly, the eyes of the gentry became hot, and it seemed as if there were more suns in the front hall.

Fang Xing nodded slightly, then left without saying hello.

Qian Ying said with a smile, "this is a gift from your majesty. There will be no estrangement between us from now on."

It is not long for North Korea to change its political envoy. The original pattern is still remembered by some people. Maybe it will come out to try God's will when there is an opportunity.

When Qian Ying was sent to North Korea as the chief envoy, Zhu Zhanji spoke to him personally and asked him to keep an eye on those old and young.

Therefore, Qian Ying's main work in recent years is to appease and suppress.

Naturally, suppression is inseparable from the royal guards and the East Hall. Qian Ying glanced at the gentry who had been developed into the inner line of the royal guards, made a hehe with them, and then dispersed.

After leaving the house, the gentry bowed their hands to each other and walked together, mostly to find a place for secret discussion.

"There are few scholars here. Most of the original details were destroyed by the rebellion in that year, so we have a great grasp of the rural examination."

In the private room of a restaurant, two gentry closed the door and asked their attendants to stare at it. No one was allowed to come near.

A gentleman with sharp eyes put his index finger on his mouth, then quietly opened the window and suddenly looked around.

The other man's hair was a little gray. He joked: "Ming people don't care about us now. What are you doing in such a hurry?"

When the window closed, the gentry came back and sat down and said, "be careful. The demon God is coming. Think about the big fire that year. Who put it?"

The grey haired gentry shook his head and said, "it's all over, and the dead can't be raised, so you still remember what to do."

The gentleman with sharp eyes said, "you are all confused by the copper money thrown by the demon God, stupid!"

The grey haired gentleman sneered: "Who doesn't know that there will be a general examination and a palace examination after the township examination? But don't forget that if the Ming people want to be stable here forever, we are a force that can't be ignored. So let's take part in the imperial examination. The possibility of winning the imperial examination is higher than that of the Ming people. Think about the North-South list in those years. The emperor taizugao was an old lion and killed without blinking an eye, but we still have to compromise, okay?"

The gentleman with sharp eyes shook his head slightly and said, "the demon God will repay him. Do you know how unlucky the Burmese people are?"

"I don't know."

"This is the news from the merchant. The demon God last passed by the coast for a few days and was assassinated..."

"Is that funny?"

Seeing his companions laughing, the gentleman with sharp eyes said coldly, "God knows whether the assassination was true or false, but then the Burmese people lost their brains."

The gentry of North Korea boasted that they were the brain of North Korea, so the man with gray hair was frightened at once.

"It's been a few years, and the Burmese side is said to be very stable. Why did he come out?"

"Some people say there is hatred, but they can't find it."

"This man is extremely patient and no one can grasp the opportunity, so let's..."

The man with sharp eyes suddenly turned his ear and raised his glass.

They drank a glass of wine. Later, someone outside said, "Sir, there was a fight. Now I'm persuaded."

After listening to this, they were relieved. The man with sharp eyes lowered his voice and said, "now the bright man is at the height of the sun. Whoever dares to rise up is a fool. Don't do such stupid things, or we'll break up our friendship in the future!"

His companion pointed to his gray hair and said, "no, there are children and women in my family and my son is smart. Now I want to get more benefits from the Ming people. After three generations, my children will be stable. My family can also become the world official of the Ming Dynasty. Then I will die in peace."
