Daming: The Beginning Awakening Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan Template

In Zhu Zhanyan's life simulation scroll, the description of the Imperial Guard Academy is not detailed, and Zhu Yuanzhang can only know a little bit!

The Imperial Guard Academy is significantly different from the Imperial Academy and the county schools. What is particularly significant is that it is divided into two major systems: the literary system and the martial system! .

Since ancient times, scholars have wanted to be prominent, and the road to imperial examinations is the only way, looking forward to one day being able to be on the gold list!

However, compared with the promotion path of scholars, the way out for warriors seems to be difficult!

The biggest difference between the Imperial Guard Academy and traditional schools is that it has established a martial system!

The martial system is based on the selection of martial arts competitions in various places, and talents are selected step by step!

This method is similar to the provincial examination, joint examination, and palace examination of the imperial examination!

Starting from the village, the top performers of the village martial arts test every year can participate in the county-level assessment, and then go to the prefecture, and the selection level by level points out a way for the children of many poor people at the bottom to rise!

Only by passing the assessment of the prefectures and ranking in the top three can you be eligible to participate in the final assessment of the Imperial Guard Academy!

Once admitted to the Imperial Guard Academy, the court will grant the family 100 taels of silver and waive the tuition fee, that is, the fee of the groom!

Therefore, the Imperial Guard Academy not only opens its doors to scholars, but also welcomes warriors to join!

Practicing martial arts can also achieve a good future!

Even if you choose the literary context, in the Imperial Guard Academy, you not only have to study the scriptures, but also accept the militarized management stipulated by the academy!

In the words of Zhu Yuanzhang's fourteenth son Zhu Jian, even if the Imperial Guard Academy is a literary context, it is definitely not a place to cultivate nerds who only read the books of saints!

Warriors can go to battle, and scholars can also become generals, and they must have the ability to plan and strategize!

This is also the reason why the members of the Secretariat selected from the Imperial Guard Academy are not only good at governing the country, but also can help the king solve problems even when war breaks out. They are all-round elites!

At the same time, the Imperial Guard Academy only recruits students under the age of sixteen!

The school period is three years!

After passing the three-year assessment and graduating successfully, the warriors will at least start as junior officers, not just ordinary soldiers24!

And civil officials are mostly sent to the grassroots, to the prefectures and counties across the Ming Dynasty, to engage in the most basic management work!

Implement a promotion assessment system every three years!

In addition to these details, there are many other contents, and Zhu Yuanzhang has seen them all!

"If the Imperial Guard Academy can cultivate talents for the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu Dynasty, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty's prosperous era come at least a dozen years earlier?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, his heart was filled with passion.

But he quickly suppressed this idea temporarily!

Old Fourteen's ideas in this regard, as well as his training and management methods for talents, are indeed better than his father!

But this is only because Old Fourteen has such talent. Although Zhu Yuanzhang also has such an ambition, it is still too early to realize it.It's unrealistic, because he himself still has many key details that he hasn't figured out, and it's too difficult to imitate!

Unless... he asks Lao Fourteen to start planning to build the Imperial Guard Academy now!

Because the textbooks needed for the Imperial Guard Academy are all written by Lao Fourteen!

This is not as simple as just building an academy and hanging the four big characters of Imperial Guard Academy. You need textbooks. Without textbooks, everything is useless!

"System, I just want to confirm whether Lao Fourteen's Imperial Guard Academy, which he has worked so hard to build, can make a name for himself? How many useful talents can it cultivate for our Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

In the life simulation scroll, he saw that Lao Fourteen spent most of his time playing rotten after becoming emperor, and it seemed that the only thing that made him more concerned was this Imperial Guard Academy!

In order to build this Imperial Guard Academy, Lao Fourteen even reached the state of forgetting to eat and sleep!

[Since the Chengwu years, the Imperial Guard Academy has stood firm, and has always provided all kinds of talents for the Ming court and the army, just like blood! ]

[It is no exaggeration to say that without the Imperial Guard Academy, the prosperity and progress of the Ming Dynasty might not be so rapid. At least, it brought the glorious era of the Ming Dynasty forward by half a century! ]

The Future Deduction System explained calmly.

"So, what does half a century mean specifically?"

Hearing that the Future Deduction System had such a high evaluation of the Imperial Guard Academy, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but ask curiously.

[A century is a hundred years of leisurely time. ]

The Future Deduction System answered patiently.

"So, the Imperial Guard Academy actually brought the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty forward by a full fifty years!"

"Old Fourteen really led a glorious era for the Ming Dynasty!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes suddenly sparkled, and even his breathing seemed to become rapid.

[That's right. Moreover, the Imperial Guard Academy's graduation certificates are divided into different levels. ]

[From level three to special, there are four levels in total. ]

[Graduates of each level have a huge difference in job allocation and treatment. ]

[For example, graduates with a level three certificate may only serve as a small flag in the army, and in the prefectures and counties, at most they can only serve as county magistrates or village heads. ]

[However, graduates with a level two certificate have the opportunity to serve as important positions such as centurions in the army, county magistrates in prefectures and counties, or even prefects as soon as they step out of the school gate! 】

[As for the top students with the first-class certificate, they can directly enter the Five Military Commandery and even the core departments of the imperial court! 】

The future prediction system explained in detail.

"Is this true?"

"What kind of glory do students with the special certificate have?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was more and more shocked and couldn't wait to ask.

[Special graduates are rare. In the long history of the Imperial Guard Academy, only seven people have won this honor! 】

[They are: Hai Rui, who is honest and upright; Zhang Juzheng, who is wise; Yu Qian, who is loyal and brave; Zhao Dingbei, who is wise; Qi Jiguang, Feng Lu, and Lv Shengming! ]

The voice of the future deduction system reveals deep respect.

In the long history of the Imperial Guard Academy, there are only seven special graduates?

After learning the news, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked!

Hai Rui, Zhang Juzheng, Zhao Dingbei, Qi Jiguang, Feng Lu, Lv Shengming and others are all unfamiliar names to Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is reasonable that they should be talents of later generations.

However, the name Yu Qian caused ripples in his heart.

In the picture of the old fourteenth ruling, Yu Qian's figure was prominently listed. He was not only the first secretary-general, but also the best who was re-elected to this important position!

Among these seven people, Zhu Yuanzhang was most impressed by Yu Qian. He remembered that Yu Qian was not only good at both civil and military affairs, but also perfectly implemented the national policy system formulated by the Fourteenth Old Man, and could also put forward many pertinent opinions in military affairs!

When the Dalhan army repeatedly invaded the Ming Dynasty, it was Yu Qian's decisive decision and suggestions to Zhu Zhanyan and Zhu Yan that minimized the losses on the border!

From this point of view, Yu Qian is undoubtedly a top talent, and it fully proves that the Imperial Guard Academy has an extraordinary ability to cultivate talents!

Of course, in addition to these seven top talents, there are many other outstanding talents that have not been mentioned.

Although the number of special graduates is scarce, the top talents of the court are mostly composed of first-class graduates!

"It seems that when meeting with the Fourteenth Old Man in Ganzhou, the affairs of the Imperial Guard Academy also need to be discussed carefully!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of eagerness and expectation!

Such an institution that can cultivate top talents for the Ming Dynasty cannot be ignored, and it is best to start from his Hongwu Dynasty!

At the same time, in Ganzhou City.

Zhu Li's road construction plan has officially begun!

The first thing to be renovated is undoubtedly the cement road connecting Ganzhou, Xi'an and Hanzhong!

Zhu Li is not worried about this. He knows that even if this road is built and contributes to the convenience of transportation in Xi'an, he will not easily give up his control over Xi'an.

On the contrary, this brand new road is more like a strong glue for him to consolidate his territory, making it difficult for the old man to take Xi'an back from him.

However, despite being prepared, when Zhu Li saw the huge amount of silver needed to build the road every day, he couldn't help but take a breath!

Indeed, although infrastructure construction is crucial, it is also a money-eating beast!

Although the cost of road construction is not enough to put Zhu Li's finances in trouble, he has too many things to do, from secret industrial development to weapons research, silver is needed everywhere to support it.

Now with the heavy burden of road construction, Zhu Yan couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

"It seems I have to find a way to increase the output of refined salt!"

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yan decided to start with refined salt.This lucrative industry started with raising a sum of money to solve the urgent problem.

Today's salt factory is like a money printing machine for him!

At present, the price of refined salt sold by Zhu Yu is 30 wen per dou, while the sales price in Ganzhou City has been reduced to 15 wen per dou.

Although the price has been halved, Zhu Yu's profit is still considerable.

The huge profits can be seen from this, because for Zhu Yu, the cost of refined salt is mainly concentrated on labor costs, and other costs such as raw materials are almost negligible.

Therefore, the people of Ganzhou and even the entire northwest region can enjoy high-quality refined salt at a very low price.

And Zhu Yu's reputation as the King of Su is also in full swing in the northwest region!

Especially when the people of Xi'an learned that Xi'an will also be under the jurisdiction of Zhu Yu in the future, they were even more excited, as if welcoming a grand festival.

This is enough to show that the people in the northwest region recognize and support Zhu Yan.

"Manager Liu, you should make arrangements immediately. For merchants from other places, if the purchase volume reaches more than 1,000 dan, the price will be 30 wen per dou; if the purchase volume is less than 1,000 dan, the price will be increased to 35 wen per dou."

Zhu Yan decisively summoned the manager of the salt factory and announced the new sales policy in a firm tone.

The purpose of his setting these two price standards is very clear: one is to send a signal to the outside world that the price of refined salt may rise, thereby stimulating salt merchants to speed up stockpiling; the second is to enjoy preferential prices by setting a purchase volume threshold, further promoting the large-scale sales of refined salt.

After handling these matters, Zhu Yan returned to his study.

At this time, there was already a person in the study who was busy writing something.

Of course, not everyone can enter Zhu Yan's study at will.

Besides himself, only Gu, Li and Concubine Gao, three capable assistants, had this honor.

Zhu Yan had always intended to train Gu and Li to be his right-hand men, rather than just being a vase-like concubine of the prince.

After years of training and cultivation, Gu has shown extraordinary ability and is fully capable of taking charge.

Although Zhu Yan was sometimes away from the palace for half a month, Gu was still able to handle the affairs of Ganzhou Prefecture with ease, which made Zhu Yan feel particularly relieved.

Although Li had just entered the Su Wang Mansion, she came from a scholarly family and had outstanding talents.

What surprised Zhu Yan even more was that she showed extraordinary talent in arithmetic and was extremely keen on numbers.

Seeing that Gu could assist Zhu Yan in handling the affairs of the palace and the fiefdom, Li also wanted to do something. Therefore, Zhu Li gave her full authority over the financial affairs of the palace.

At this time, Li was holding a unique pen in her hand - a fountain pen.

She cherished this fountain pen because it was unique and was a gift from Zhu Li.

When Zhu Li traveled through time, he put almost all the items he could bring into the storage ring, including fountain pens, pencils and other stationery. Perhaps because of his long years of drawing talismans,Zhu Jian's calligraphy is really unbearable.

People who are familiar with Prince Su's handwriting can recognize the ghostly handwriting at a glance.

Only when using modern pencils or pens can Zhu Jian's handwriting be considered neat.

"Your Highness, the treasury silver is only enough to support the cost of road construction for one year. It is okay to build to Xi'an Prefecture, but if you want to continue to expand to other places, you will not be able to do it." Seeing Zhu Jian coming in, Li quickly reported the account situation he had just calculated.

After hearing this, Zhu Jian waved his hand indifferently: "My beloved concubine, there is no need to worry about money. With the salt factory, the silver treasury of the prince's palace will definitely have a steady supply."

In fact, what Li is currently calculating is only the current reserves of the treasury silver of Prince Su's palace, and has not yet included the monthly profit of the prince's palace.

"Your Highness, do you plan to stay in seclusion in the near future?" Li asked Zhu Jian, who was pacing in the study.

Zhu Jian shook his head: "No, I will go to your place in the next few nights and help you review your math lessons."

Time flies, and more than ten days have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the imperial palace of Yingtian Prefecture, Zhu Yuanzhang was reading a memorial sent secretly by the Jinyiwei in the imperial study of Fengtian Hall.

The memorial detailed some situations in Ganzhou Prefecture, and emphasized the plan of Su Wang Zhu Jian to build a cement road to Xi'an Prefecture.

In recent days, the imperial censors in the morning court have impeached Zhu Jian for building a large-scale project and wasting money and labor.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang temporarily suppressed the matter.

After all, the road construction project is very expensive, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a large-scale project.

The reaction of the ministers in the court is also reasonable.

If there were no future prediction system, Zhu Yuanzhang might have held Zhu Yan accountable for this matter.

However, he knew the importance of building cement roads to the country's economic development.

"During the Chengwu years, cement roads were all over the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, "The system says: 'If you want to be rich, build roads first'. Only when transportation is convenient can the Ming Dynasty's economy truly prosper."

Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed the previous conversation with the system in his mind and couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

Undoubtedly, cement roads have inestimable value for the implementation of military strategies.

The criss-crossing cement roads can ensure that the court's troops and strategic materials are accurately delivered to every strategic point in the shortest time.

Take the journey from Yingtian to Ganzhou Prefecture as an example. Even if it is a light horse, it takes more than half a month to arrive.

However, once the cement road is paved, this journey can be shortened by nearly half, taking only about seven days.

If the 800-mile express delivery method is adopted, it is possible to complete this long journey in three or four days without sleep.

If the army sets out from Yingtian Prefecture and heads to Ganzhou in the northwest, it would originally take two months, but with the help of cement roads, the deployment can be completed within one month.
