Chapter 382: To Poach The Future Confucian Civil Servants? ! ! [Please Subscribe, Please Order In Fu
Lu Jianxing, Jin Chuan, and Shen Lian, who were standing in front of Yan Changqing, immediately panicked when they heard Yan Changqing's slightly displeased tone. They all knelt down on one knee and explained with fear on their faces:
"Sir, Yang Shiqi is really a farmer's boy!!!"
"Yes, Yang Zirong is really a farmer's boy!!!"
"Yang Pu and Xie Jin are both from farmers!!!"
Yan Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned back slightly, and said calmly:
"Then tell me about their family situation and let me see what kind of farmers they are!!!"
Upon hearing Yan Changqing's question, Lu Jianxing, Jin Yichuan, and Shen Lian looked at each other, and each of them breathed a secret sigh of relief.
If Yan Changqing asked other farm students taking the exam about their family situation, they might not be able to answer right now.
But it happened that Yan Changqing took out Yang Shiqi, Yang Zirong, Yang Pu, and Xie Jin to ask them at this moment, and they all still had impressions.
Because Yang Shiqi, Yang Zirong, Yang Pu, and Xie Jin, among the farmers they were responsible for recruiting, were all considered outstanding.
Therefore, Lu Jianxing, Jin Yichuan, and Shen Lian all know the relevant situations of Yang Shiqi, Yang Zirong, Yang Pu, and Xie Jin relatively clearly and have deep memories.
Then, Lu Jianxing was the first to speak:
"Yang Shiqi was born in Fenghuangtai, Yichun County, Yuanzhou. His father died when he was one year old. His mother remarried De'an Tongzhi Luo Xing, so Yang Shiqi changed his surname to Luo.'
"Later, there was an ancestor worship ceremony in the Luo family. Eight-year-old Yang Shiqi made an earthen statue to worship Yang's ancestors. Luo Xing discovered it and praised his ambition, restored his ancestral name, and changed his surname to Yang."
"Later Luo Xing died for his crime of guarding the border in Shaanxi17, and Yang Shiqi and his mother returned to De'an."
"During this period, Yang Shiqi did not have any fame, nor was he a subordinate official. He only made a living by farming and being a tutor in Meng private schools.
“When hundreds of households under my subordinates went to De’an County to enroll students, they were found to meet the enrollment requirements of the Agricultural College.”
"And he also correctly answered more than 70% of the Agricultural College examination paper that your Excellency asked us to bring, so he brought it back.
After hearing Lu Jianxing's answer, Yan Changqing was slightly stunned.
Did Yang Shiqi, the future leader of the Three Yang Dynasties, be in such a miserable state when he was young?!!
On this point, he really didn't know The Grand Pure One.
According to Yang Shiqi's current situation, it would be barely reasonable to say that he is a farmer.
Thinking of this, Yan Changqing said nothing more, and his eyes continued to fall on Jin Yichuan.
After Lu Jianxing finished speaking, Jin Yichuan raised his head and glanced at Yan Changqing secretly, and then said cautiously:
"Yang Zirong, a native of Jian'an County, Jianning Prefecture, was originally named Daoying and later changed his name to Yang Zirong. His father Yang Bocheng and his grandfather Yang Daqing."
"Although the Yang family is well-off, neither his grandfather nor his father has any fame, nor has he ever been a subordinate official, so his status is still the same.
"So, Yang Zirong should still be considered a farmer, right?!!"
Yan Changqing glanced at Jin Yichuan indifferently, and Jin Yichuan immediately buried his head lower and did not dare to speak any more.
Then Yan Changqing's eyes finally fell on Shen Lian.
Shen Lian did not dare to neglect and immediately replied:
"Yang Pu was born in Shishou County, Huguang, and his family background was average. Neither of his two previous generations had any fame, nor had they ever been subordinates. His status was still that of a farmer.
"Xie Jin was born in Jishui County, Ji'an Prefecture. His father Xie Jin was born in the former Yuan Dynasty. On the day of his father's death in the former Yuan Dynasty, he was given an official post as a minister of state affairs but refused to worship him. In the early years of our dynasty, he was given an official position but was not accepted, so his son Xie Jin’s household registration is still a farmer’s registered residence.
“So, Xie Jin should be considered a farmer’s boy, right?!!”
Speaking of this, Shen Lian also felt a little guilty.
It's okay for Yang Pu, but if we really want to pursue the case, Yang Pu can barely make sense by saying that he is a farmer's son.
But it would be too far-fetched for Xie Jin to say that he is from a peasant family!
Because Xie Jin was obviously a child of a scholarly family, but his father did not want to be an official in the Ming Dynasty. He only wanted to engage in writing and running schools. He did not have the fame of the Ming Dynasty, so he was still a farmer in terms of status.
[If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have looked for this solution!!!]
At this moment, Shen Lian was regretting in his heart, when he received Yan Changqing's order to let them, the Jin Yiwei, go to various counties in the Ming Dynasty to recruit farmers who met the requirements.
Seeing Huang Jiuqu, a doctor from Youxiang, calling Xie Jin a prodigy, he was moved and thought that if he could bring a prodigy back to the Agricultural College, Yan Changqing might be happy.
And when Yan Changqing is happy, he might be rewarded or promoted.
So they directly recruited Xie Jin as an agricultural student and took him back to the Agricultural College to take the exam.
As a result, he never expected that Yan Changqing would suspect Xie Jin and others' identity as farmers.
And he seemed to be very unhappy, which immediately made Shen Lian panic.
After all, it's just that others don't know Yan Changqing's identity and status. They, the Jin Yiwei Qianhu who are responsible for protecting Yan Changqing, know how high Yan Changqing's identity and status are.
To put it bluntly, just one word from Yan Changqing can kill thousands of families like them!
After listening to what Lu Jianxing, Jin Yichuan, and Shen Lian said, Yan Changqing finally knew what their standards for peasants were.
It's very simple, just one point: as long as you are still a farmer, you are considered a farmer!!!
But the problem is that when he talks about farmers, he refers to the kind who spend most of the day farming in the fields.
The kind of farmers who have some basic knowledge and culture and then use a small amount of free time to work hard to read and read.
If all the Jinyiwei selected peasants based on whether their household registration was rural, I am afraid that there are now more than ten qualified "farmers" test papers.
At least three-fifths of the "farmers" are children from wealthy families like Yang Zirong and Xie Jin, or from scholarly families.
This is somewhat contrary to Yan Changqing's original intention.
What he wants to recruit are those farm boys whose fathers face the earth with their backs to the sky, not those "farm boys" whose fathers are scholarly and rich gentry!!!
[Wait a minute, am I stuck in some kind of stubbornness?!!]
[What I am looking for is a pure farm boy in terms of identity?!!]
[Are you a farmer with knowledge?!!]
A flash of thought flashed in Yan Changqing's eyes.
If he is a farmer's son by status, then there is no doubt that people like Yang Zirong and Xie Jin who are from well-off families or who are scholarly and cultivate their family will naturally not meet his requirements.
But if he is looking for a farmer with knowledge, then Yang Zirong and Xie Jin, who were able to correctly answer the questions related to grain, acres, and farming in the previous agricultural college examinations, will naturally be considered farmers.
Yan Changqing thought about it for a long time, and during this period, Lu Jianxing, Jin Yichuan, and Shen Lian did not dare to breathe, and they knelt silently waiting for Yan Changqing's instructions.
After an unknown amount of time, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Yan Changqing's mouth.
[Why should I stick to my status? Could it be that people from wealthy and scholarly families cannot be from agricultural colleges?!!]
[If this is the case, the children of all the civil and military officials and military generals in the capital should not even be qualified for the one hundred examination places!!!]
[No matter where they come from, as long as they can answer the questions of the Agricultural College correctly and pass the Agricultural College examination. 】
[After entering the Agricultural College, I am willing to devote myself to the fields and research and cultivate more high-yielding and superior varieties for the people of Ming Dynasty!!!]
【Then he is from my Agricultural College!!!】
[And, from another perspective, future Confucian civil servants like Sanyang Yijie are in charge. 】
[Now that Jin Yiwei has intercepted his beard in advance and entered our Agricultural College, it is equivalent to poaching the future Confucians to strengthen our Agricultural College!!!]
[Even though Sanyang Yijie's talents in agricultural research and study are not as high as their talents in Confucian politics. 】
[But it doesn't matter. "At most, it will only take up a few ninth-grade agricultural bachelor's places in our agricultural college."
[I can still afford to waste a few ninth-grade Bachelor of Agriculture places. 】
[But if 400 can be used for a few ninth-grade agricultural bachelor's places in exchange for Confucianism losing future top civil servants like Sanyang Yijie, then the deal is still worth it!!!]
[If Sanyang Yijie’s talents in agricultural research and study are as high as their talents in Confucian politics, then the Agricultural College and I will make a lot of money!!!]
[Guaranteed no loss at the bottom, huge profits at the upper limit!!!]
[No need to say, Confucianism has dug a corner!!!]
Thinking of this, Yan Changqing looked at the test papers of Yang Shiqi, Yang Zirong, Yang Pu, and Jie Jin in front of his desk, as well as the stack of more than a thousand qualified farmers' test papers next to him, and his mentality immediately changed.
These are the Confucian corners he "worked so hard" to dig!!!
No matter how many of these agricultural students are "agricultural students" like Yang Zirong and Xie Jin.
But in the final analysis, they were all students of Confucianism, but now they have all become students of his agricultural college.
This kind of thing that harms Confucianism and benefits self-interest makes him very happy!!!
Thinking of this, Yan Changqing looked at Lu Jianxing, Jin Yichuan, and Shen Lian who were still kneeling below, waved his hands and said with a smile:
"It's okay. You can go down to the college's rooms and receive the five hundred taels of silver reward each."
"The other 100 Jinyiwei households who have gone to the local area to recruit students will each receive one hundred taels, and the remaining Jinyiwei families will all receive fifty taels."
"Later, just ask the college's housekeeper to hand me the note for signature."
Although Lu Jianxing, Jin Yichuan, and Shen Lian didn't know why Yan Changqing suddenly became happy again, it was naturally a happy thing to be able to avoid a blame and receive a lot of money instead.
Immediately, Lu Jianxing, Jin Chuan, and Shen Lian all raised their hands and thanked them:
"Thank you for the reward, sir!!!"
