"Your Majesty the Emperor, the fleet sent by His Highness Zhong has arrived in Tianjin Guard. They ordered people to send news first, saying that His Highness Zhong had discovered a large amount of silver mines in Manila. The silver mined from the silver mines has excellent texture. The most important thing is that this silver mine seems to be inexhaustible. If it is true as His Highness Zhong said, it is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty and your Majesty."

Han Miao, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, smiled and boasted at Zhu Youlang.

However, he also had the confidence to brag. After all, he learned from the people he had reported that there were more than 100 ships sent by Zheng Chenggong to transport silver, and they were all lucky ships. The ships with a large hull size can be imagined.

Zhu Youlang was not much surprised when he heard the news.

Because he had the knowledge of later generations, he knew that Manila had a large amount of silver mines.

When Zheng Chenggong went to Southeast Asia, Manila was a place where he would definitely pass by.

With Zheng Chenggong's personality, it is definitely unbearable to see that the descendants of Guangdong were bullied by Folang Ji people in the local Fujian and Guangdong. A big war is inevitable.

But Zhu Youlang didn't expect Zheng Chenggong to fight this battle so beautifully.

It is clean and neat, without any delay, and the fighter has no temper.

Next, the silver mine in Manila naturally fell into the hands of the Ming army.

For the Ming Dynasty, the large inflow of silver was of course good news.

In fact, although the circulation of silver in the Ming Dynasty was very smooth, it was not very ideal in terms of total volume.

This problem can be perfectly solved after crossing the ocean to the Ming Dynasty, which is naturally the best.

"King Zhong has indeed made great contributions this time, and I am very relieved."

Zhu Youlang stroked his beard and walked up in the warm gaze, and naturally he was in a great mood.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, King Zhong, has ordered someone to bring back a report and ask His Majesty to read the holy view."

Han Miao respectfully delivered a memorial to Zhu Youlang.

Zhu Youlang took it and opened it to see it. It was indeed Zheng Chenggong's handwritten handwritten.

At the beginning of the memorial, Zheng Chenggong first told him how to seize Manila and drive away the Folangjiren. Then Zheng Chenggong analyzed and discussed with Zhu Youlang how to manage Nanyang in the memorial.

In Zheng Chenggong's view, Nanyang has been separated from the Han cultural circle for a long time, even longer than the Western Regions has been separated from the Han cultural circle.

There are many immigrant descendants from Guangdong and Fujian here.

Although they are numerous, they do not have much say in the local area.

This directly led to difficulties in the actual control of this area by the Ming army.

Therefore, Zheng Chenggong suggested that the Ming Dynasty court send some scholars to Nanyang to open private schools to popularize Han culture.

This action can only be initiated by the court and is strong, so it must be at the government level.

If it is initiated by individuals, it is difficult to form a joint force.

Zhu Youlang agrees with this.

The concept of cultural identity has actually been a point that has been put forward in the historical community.

Compared with blood ties, cultural identity has a wider scope and will not make people ambiguity.

For the Ming Dynasty, anyone who agrees with Han culture and Confucian classics can be absorbed within this range.

As long as the imperial government is behind it, it is actually not difficult to achieve this.

It just depends on whether the government wants to do it, or whether the imperial court wants to do it.

To put it bluntly, does Zhu Youlang want to do it or not.

As the emperor of the Ming Empire, Zhu Youlang is definitely a person who is in the same way.

As long as his will is settled, everyone will do it closely.

Especially when the Ming Dynasty had just revived the world, Zhu Youlang's personal prestige reached its peak at this stage. There was no problem even saying that he was comparable to Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this time, Zhu Youlang proposed to send scholars to Nanyang to set up private schools to promote Han culture, and no one should object.

But even if the court gives favorable conditions, will those scholars be willing to teach in Nanyang?

In this era, everything is inferior to reading. This sentence is actually a summary of scholars.

But it is only for scholars who entered the imperial examination.

Therefore, reading is just a means, and being an official is the goal.

In the Ming Dynasty, there are only three ways to become an official.

One is to pass the sixth level exams of the county, government, courtyard, township, association and hall.

When you pass the Jinshi list and get a Jinshi for granted, you will be able to become an official.

This is also the most mainstream path, which can be said to be what all scholars dream of.

In addition, the most important way is to take the Imperial College route.

The Imperial College was the highest official institution of the Ming Dynasty and the only higher institution recognized by the imperial court.

Students in the Imperial College can enter the court to become officials after graduation, but the upper limit is limited and generally do not exceed the fourth rank.

This is also very normal. After all, most of the students in the Imperial College are recommended by local county schools and government schools.

At first glance, these are all top students, and they seem to be very good. But in fact, who is really able to take the imperial examinations and who is willing to stay in the county school or the government school to get a place in the Imperial College.

Those candidates who are willing to stay are basically some who fail repeatedly and fail too many times and are discouraged.

These people know that no matter how much they take the exam, they will never be able to get the first place, so they just want to rely on their qualifications to get a chance to study in the Imperial College.

After all, no matter how much Issue, I will be assigned to the Imperial College after graduation, and being able to become a presiding official means one foot to step into another class.

As for the size of the official position, it is not the issue they need to consider.

At this time, it would be nice to have an official job, and what other bicycles would be needed.

In fact, this mentality is fine, after all, there is a fundamental difference between the official class and the poor class.

If you first enter this ranks, even if you don’t have much room for promotion, it will be like paving the way for future generations.

In this way, the difficulty of passing the imperial examination for future generations is also greatly reduced if the title of the official is to pass the imperial examination.

In addition, the third one left is to enter the officialdom.

To put it bluntly, a group of second-generation officials rely on their parents' hiding to get an official job. They do not need to take the imperial examination or study in the Imperial College.

It sounds unfair, but there is no way. It is an extremely important means to maintain the stability of the feudal dynasty.

If you think about it carefully, you will know that those who can protect their children from entering the court are generally senior officials of the third rank or above. Who is not an important official of the court, and who is not the emperor's right-hand man.

No matter how capable the emperor is, he cannot do everything himself and do it himself.

I have to have a confidant minister to share his worries and do things for him, right?

Since you want to make others loyal to you, you must give enough benefits.

It is impossible to let the horse run and not let the horse eat grass.
