Chapter 422: Confession

With the thousands of people in the military academy alone, even if they expand their enrollment in the future, Zhang Jingyi believes that it will not be able to truly change the soil of the Ming Dynasty.

Just like those scholars at a glance, if they really want to talk about it, can they completely control the world with just a group of Jinshi and Juren, and even compete with the emperor?

No, their strength is not just that.

Behind these Jinshi in the court are tens of thousands of scholars, tens of thousands of scholars, and countless children who have been enlightened by the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood.

This is how a pyramid-shaped interest structure was built and a huge interest group formed by landlords and gentry.

It is impossible for anyone to shake a group of such a large scale, even an emperor.

The only thing to change to deal with them is soil.

Now, Emperor Tianqi has taken out the silver and is willing to hold nearly two million taels of silver every year as a guarantee for the military academy.

Zhang Jingyi naturally needed to use this to expand the influence of the military academy.

Lu Xiangsheng was very skilled in doing business, mainly because there were many officials in Xinxian County and they were very capable in doing business.

Therefore, a large number of study forms are actually a paper as big as a newspaper, with some learning guides, including simple Chinese and mathematics, which requires understanding 250 common words and relatively simple calculations.

Of course, there are some simple questions about why there are 100,000.

Immediately afterwards, they began to send people to various prefectures and counties to post admissions lists and notices.

Suddenly, the inside and outside of the capital vibrated.

This vibration is inevitable.

For the vast majority of peasant children and craftsmen, military academies are extremely attractive.

In this era, it would be good not to be hungry, and it would also include food and accommodation, and even promised to have three taels of meat every day. This is definitely something ordinary people dare not imagine.

For farmers, it is roughly the same as the feeling of a mouse falling into the rice jar.

The most attractive thing is the subsidy of three or two silver patterns, and it is paid in full.

There is almost no expense for studying in a military academy. If you use three taels of silver by yourself, you will definitely make your life very comfortable. Even if the family has a burden, you will send two or three taels of silver home every month, but I am afraid that the whole family will have enough food and food.

Such generous conditions, coupled with the fact that Donglin Military Academy is now famous, let alone those who barely have some financial capabilities, even the children of some tenants seem to be moved now.

In every village, there are always people talking about this in the glutinous yard.

So, people rushed to various markets to receive the order.

Then, thinking of a way, I started to learn this study guide.

There are many young people in the fields holding firewood sticks and writing in the mud, and the hard work of these children is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.

Even parents who ignore their children's future are now encouraged to take the exam.

This is really sweet. After entering, I was proud and benefited the whole family. It was not like taking the exam for a scholar. I studied for full-time school all year round. I only had to work hard for a month and I could always try my luck.

This led to the fact that those scholars who failed and the old boys became popular all of a sudden.

These losers in the imperial examination are actually the most embarrassing. On the one hand, after reading books for so many years, they failed to get a fame and fortune. When they repent, they found it was too late. On the other hand, scholars looked down on them, while farmers regarded them as scholars.

It was in this gap, extremely embarrassing.

Nowadays, these people are crowded with people.

All kinds of teenagers, or they carry half a pound of bacon, or some parents come with their children and eggs.

When everyone entered the door, a group of people rushed in and shouted, "Greetings to sir."

The old boys looked at the bacon and their eyes were straightened. They never thought that they would be so popular.

It turned out that I was asking to learn calculations and recognize words.

Although bacon is very valuable, these ordinary people may not be willing to eat this piece all year round, but for the sake of their children, they have to sacrifice their lives. If they can pass the exam and eat meat every day, they are not a scholar, nor are they going to pass the imperial examination, but they need to read a book for the rest of their lives. This amount of capital... everyone is willing to give up.

For a moment, inside and outside the capital, various apprenticeships and learning became popular. Every young man was muttering words, even when he was doing farm work, he was reciting various words and sentences repeatedly.

The people are very stingy, because if they are not stingy, they may become hungry.

But at the same time, they are also very realistic. Such a good thing that fools know. If you don’t even fight for it, you will be really a fool.

In the capital, this situation is even more perverted.

A group of old children who were literate rented a door, and then hung a sign directly at the door, placing a book: tutoring arithmetic, reading and writing, and teaching and meeting.

As soon as such a door opened, dozens or hundreds of people rushed to the door.

Especially in Xinxian.

People in Xinxian respect the students of the military academy the most. In the eyes of people here, the students of the military academy are even more popular than scholars.

What's more, the people here generally have better living conditions, and almost all try their best to let their children apply for the exam.

Hundreds of thousands of why...it's even hot.

Because according to the gossip, this exam adopts a percentage system, and the proportion of 100,000 why questions is not heavy, mainly Chinese and arithmetic. However, if you want to win, you may have to occupy 100,000 whys for ten questions, which becomes a magic weapon.

Of course, there are some money at home and are willing to buy books, but the young man who has no money may not be able to learn. In the nearby suburbs, there are already old children who buy one or two books back, and then they roughly read it, summarized some of the test points they think, and began to teach them in various counties.

This is the first exam in the military academy. There are no regulations. Everyone is blind and touching an elephant. Anyway, everyone just takes a brick to take a picture and do whatever they want.

Xinxian County is under great pressure. The application situation summarized by various places has exceeded 50,000. Originally, Lu Xiangsheng's estimate was 10,000 or 20,000 people, but now it is doubled. Not only that, the application has not yet ended, and even if there are 70,000 or 80,000 in the future, it is possible.

As a result, Xinxian became crazy and began to desperately requisition various school buildings as test sites. Later, I found that it was not enough, so I began to requisition temples, even restaurants and tea shops.

In addition, there are examiners. This time, there may be thousands of examiners needed, or even not enough...

Those who may be truly qualified for registration are probably around 50,000. Although there are 70,000 to 80,000, some people fail in other aspects.

Just these 50,000 people are enough to kill people.

Therefore, the teachers and teachers and students from various schools, civil servants and clerks from the county, and even teachers and students from the teaching team were used together.

However, Zhang Jingyile's leisure, every increase in the number of applications, is a great thing for Zhang Jingyi. Of course, this is a huge burden for Lu Xiangsheng.

However, of course, this exam matter was left to Lu Xiangsheng for handling.

This is not because Zhang Jingyi is going to be lazy, but now, he is focusing on the imperial case.

By destroying the rebellious party, you can temporarily stabilize the court and at the same time, you can obtain huge wealth from the other seven families.

With these wealth, His Majesty was willing to invest money.

This is a wealth that is even greater than the sky, so... this case must be won.

It took seven or eight days in a row.

The temperature is almost done.

Zhang Jingyi appeared in prison.

He still looked calm and composed.

Then, someone was arraigned.

Zeng Erhe is still the one who arraigned the case.

Zeng Erhe was sent to the interrogation room. One of his eyes was completely blind, and the wounds on his face were still shocking, but... it seemed that he was lucky, at least he did not die directly due to infection.

At this time, Zeng Erhe sat down uneasyly.

When he saw Zhang Jingyi slowly pace in, his body suddenly reacted violently and subconsciously thrust.

Zhang Jingyi slowly walked to Zeng Erhe, his eyes leaned against his face, and said, "Well, it's not bad, he recovered well. He is indeed a man."

Zeng Erhe trembled and said, "What else do you want to do?"

Zhang Jingyi did not reply, but returned to the table.

On the table, there was another pair of boxing gloves inlaid with steel needles.

Zhang Jingyi was not quick to wear this boxing glove on his hand and looked leisurely.

Zeng Erhe seemed to see the terrifying boxing gloves, and his one-eyed pupils immediately contracted.

He struggled desperately in the chair: "I... I said everything I should say, I said everything, what else do you want to do? Kill me."

Zhang Jingyi, who was wearing the gloves, walked to Zeng Erhe, looked at him with a smile, and then said word by word: "You... are not honest!"

"I...I'm honest..." Zeng Erhe's body trembled: "I said everything."

"You didn't say it." Zhang Jingyi stared at him with a particularly serious face: "The eunuch Liu Neng, who was with you in the palace, and the imperial doctor Zhou, are inconsistent with your confession. You lied to me, Zeng Erhe? You really called Zeng Erhe, haha... Well, the name is just a symbol, I will call you Zeng Erhe. Do you know... what will happen if you are not honest when you get here? Your accomplices have confessed, but you are still trying to get away with it. It seems that you are no longer an ordinary rioter."

Zeng Erhe looked confused and said, "Liu...Liu Neng...Doctor Zhou?"

He said to Ai Ai, "I... I am just acting on orders. I don't know that there is another Liu Neng and Yu Dai Zhou in the palace who are my accomplices. I'm telling the truth."

It is obvious that the person who instructed him did not make any connection between Liu Neng and Zeng Erhe.

Of course, this is also expected.

Zhang Jingyi obviously did not expect any relationship between them, but used Liu Neng and Zhou Yu Dai to tell Zeng Erhe that he had already mastered a lot of information.

Zeng Erhe said Ai Ai: "It's just... I... I did lie to you... I... I'm willing to confess!"
