Chapter 760 Go back to Gotham, Batman says he won't hit you anymore.

Li Shanchang was so engrossed in his passionate speech that he didn't notice the fleeting smile on Liu Bowen's face, but Yang Shaofeng saw it clearly.

understood.

Old Liu is essentially playing the role of a strategist who enters the game himself and wins by making a single move.

wrong.

Qi Ting's victory over Heaven came at the cost of his life, while Liu Bowen, that old scoundrel, only paid with a few words. The one who really suffered was Li Shanchang.

From this perspective, Lao Liu is far more astute than Director Qi.

Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but smack his lips.

Old Li, Old Li, why don't you go back to Gotham? That bat spirit said he won't hit you anymore.

Just as Yang Shaofeng was ranting in his mind, Emperor Zhu coughed lightly and looked at Li Shanchang, saying, "Brother Shanchang is right, and Mr. Qingtian is also right."

"Here's what we'll do. This year happens to be the sixth year of the Hongwu reign, so we'll make a second five-year plan at the end of the year."

"The cabinet, ministries, supervisory commissions, temples, and monasteries can discuss how to put these matters into practice."

Li Shanchang was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Emperor Zhu, then turned to look at Liu Bowen beside him, and then flew into a rage.

I was outsmarted by that old scoundrel Liu Bowen.

Well, well done, Liu Bowen!

I was wondering why you suddenly jumped out like this; it turns out you were trying to drag me into this mess!

There's also the possibility of rising to power.

That old scoundrel Liu Bowen kicked me into the water, so you just put a leash on me and blindfold me, right?

It's lost its flavor.

The bond between ruler and subject, built up over so many years, has ultimately faded.

And then there's the Qianqing Palace.

Are there still good people in the Qianqing Palace now?

I, Li Shanchang, am the most foolish and honest one!

Li Shanchang, feeling sorry for himself, finally had no choice but to bow to Emperor Zhu and say, "Your subject obeys."

Emperor Zhu smiled and nodded, then suddenly looked at Yang Shaofeng and said, "Many of the messy things here were brought up by you. Han Gong is taking on this heavy responsibility, which can be considered as taking the blame for you."

"Go to the Duke of Han's residence a few more times and help him find and fix any shortcomings."

"You can't expect the Korean government to do everything for you."

Yang Shaofeng, who was busy watching the play, was suddenly stunned.

What do you mean by saying that Li Shanchang was taking the blame for this official?

What do you mean by "I can't expect Li Shanchang to do everything for me"?

Li Shanchang is, after all, the Grand Secretary, while I haven't taken a single penny or a grain of rice from the cabinet!

Damn it, so I'm the one who should be going back to Gotham to fight that bat spirit, right?

Yang Shaofeng grew angrier the more he thought about it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he bowed to Emperor Zhu, replying, "Yes, I've got it."

……

The Korean government office.

The Zhu Emperor, dressed in his traditional court robes, and Liu Bowen, who had personally entered the game, both gathered in Li Shanchang's study.

Emperor Zhu raised his wine cup with a smile and looked at Li Shanchang, saying, "Brother Shanchang, you deserve great credit for scheming against that scoundrel this time. Come, let's toast you!"

Li Shanchang repeatedly said "I dare not" and smiled obsequiously before drinking the wine in his cup with Emperor Zhu.

Emperor Zhu continued, "However, that scoundrel is not easy to fool. Although we cornered him this time, he agreed so readily in the end. I suspect he will cause some trouble later. Brother Shanchang, you should be careful."

Li Shanchang nodded nonchalantly and replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

Liu Bowen chimed in, "It's certain that the Prince Consort is angry, but Brother Shanchang is only considering the Second Five-Year Plan. It concerns the Ming Dynasty and the livelihood of the people, so I think the Prince Consort can understand that to some extent."

Emperor Zhu smiled and nodded.

Not easy.

Today, Liu Bowen has completely shed the burden of his image as a master strategist.

That old scoundrel Li Shanchang was even willing to appear as a clown.

Even so, we still need to keep cheering and providing support.

Only in this way could Yang Dianfeng be completely contained.

Finally, I've vented my anger!

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhu felt very pleased and put down his cup with a smile, saying, "Next month is the special imperial examination of the sixth year of Hongwu. I estimate that there will be about ten more students from Ningyang County to participate."

"These ten or so students may not be good at anything else, but they are all excellent at being people-friendly officials. Brother Shanchang, you should think carefully about how to arrange them."

"As for the students from Dengzhou Prefecture, they might not be quite suitable as officials in charge of the people, but they would be perfect for the Ministry of Works. Brother Shanchang, you might as well ask the Ministry of Works."

As Emperor Zhu finished speaking, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen burst into laughter again.

In fact, those students from Ningyang County were not only suitable to be officials who served the people, but they would also be quite good in the Ministry of Works, at least not much worse than those students from Dengzhou Prefecture.

But comparisons are a dangerous thing.

The students from Ningyang County had followed Yang Dianfeng all over Ningyang County and had participated in the construction and management of many workshops in Ningyang County. They were all experts in any field.

The students of Dengzhou Prefecture, however, had experience in building large cities like Dengzhou Prefecture City, which involved not only the design and construction of the city, but also the engineering of rivers and bridges within the city.

In particular, the experience in engineering of the straight road that runs through the entire Dengzhou Prefecture and connects Wendeng and Jinan Prefecture, as well as the auxiliary roads connecting the straight road to various counties, is something that students from Ningyang County lack.

In comparison, the students of Dengzhou Prefecture were clearly more skilled in various engineering projects, workshops, and waterway and bridge projects, but were somewhat less adept at governing and serving the people than the students of Ningyang County.

Of course, in any case, the students from Ningyang County and Dengzhou Prefecture were quite useful.

If we disregard official experience, students from Ningyang County and Dengzhou Prefecture could become officials directly without even needing to intern at the Six Ministries.

After all, these students already had many years of work experience before taking the imperial examinations.

Thinking of this, Liu Bowen suddenly smiled and said, "The students of Ningyang County and Dengzhou Prefecture, after studying for three to five years, have also gained three to five years of experience as officials. It is truly not easy."

Emperor Zhu laughed heartily twice, “Mr. Qingtian is right. That’s the advantage of the students from Ningyang County and Dengzhou Prefecture. They can study and serve as officials at the same time. They can be used directly after being recruited. They are much better than those students who only passed the imperial examinations.”

At this point, Emperor Zhu's face was filled with longing again, "Those students from Dengzhou University, those Jinshi from Ningyang County Farm, and those second-generation nobles, there must be more than a thousand of them in total?"

“Every year there are over a thousand people, tsk tsk.”

“Brother Shanchang, when you make a five-year plan, you might as well be bolder and include them all to avoid wasting them.”
