Zhu Ciwei took advantage of this and trained these mixed-race children, and appointed them to serve in various places in the occupied areas of Japan. He used their familiarity with Japanese language to divide the land.

After a group of scholars sent by the Ming Dynasty arrived in Japan, Zhu Ciwei's work in Japan was undoubtedly more helpful.

The Japanese nobles and scholars and officials were naturally very disappointed that the Ming Dynasty only used scholars recruited from Nagasaki and Ekima as officials, and they put them aside, and even would rather transfer people from the country than use their behavior.

"We have surrendered to the rule of the Celestial Empire and are willing to serve the Celestial Empire. These are also working hard to learn Chinese and only seeking to be used by the Celestial Empire. But I wonder when the lord will be willing to use it by local talents?"

A Japanese literati named Liu Zongtian even took the initiative to ask Zhu Ciwei for coming to the position of an adviser.

Zhu Ciwei really wanted to answer him that there was no shortage of scholars among the Han people, and he was waiting to catch a large number of scholars who were assigned to official positions, so he did not need the scholars among you Japanese people.

But Zhu Ciwei was not easy to say it clearly, and he was disheartened and then launched a rebellion. He replied: "It is not the time yet. Many places here are not monarchical enough. We must first establish the imperial examination system. When your shogunate was in power before, he was not active in establishing the imperial examination system. It can be said that the sinicization was not thorough enough! How do you use this official? Do you only use local nobles?"

"What your highness means is to use local civilians?"

Liu Zongtian asked with some anxiety.

Zhu Ciwei smiled and said, "If you want to hire people, you will naturally be based on talent and virtue, and you will naturally not care about your origin."

Liu Zongtian smiled bitterly: "Your Highness doesn't know that the natives in Japan are not like the Han people in the Ming Dynasty. Most of them are ignorant. The smart ones have become flags and family members, which are nobles, so local civilians are not enough to use!"

"Ignorance is not worthy of fear! My emperor will give wisdom to the people here, as long as they are willing to accept the kingship."

Zhu Ciwei replied.

After hearing this, Liu Zongtian couldn't help but change his face and quickly advised: "Your Highness! Why should we pay attention to those untouchables like pigs and dogs? Doing this will make the nobles who are still in Japan dissatisfied!"

"Because they can accept the rule of the Celestial Empire, but they will never accept competition with the civilians who are as lowly as ants, and may even be ruled by them!"

"And if you insist on doing this, it will probably affect the rule of the Celestial Empire here! Although I personally appreciate your great actions and want everyone in Japan to have an equal opportunity to enter the officialdom, as your aide, I must tell you the truth."

Zhu Ciwei sighed and said, "His Majesty the Holy Emperor is not just the Holy Emperor of the aristocratic class. If I only care about the Japanese nobles, wouldn't it go against the will of the Holy Emperor?"

Zhu Ciwei described the reason for doing this as the will of His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
