"Your Majesty's Holy Candle shines all over the world."

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Shanghai is of great importance. I come to see you in person, so don't refuse me anymore."

"With your Majesty's mercy, the people of the grass are willing to go through fire and water for your Majesty."

"Okay! My request is very simple. Set up a Maritime Bureau in Shanghai County, and then establish a large port to allow all the merchant ships in Nanzhili to gather here. I want to do business with the Nanyang people and the Westerners."

"The Caomin will definitely complete what His Majesty has assigned."

"Okay! Shanghai County was taken out of Songjiang Prefecture and became a separate Zhili County. You will be the magistrate, and the Shanghai Maritime Bureau will also give you control. I will give you full power."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Chen Zilong left the Ganqing Palace, he was still a little dazed.

He didn't expect that he would meet the emperor today, nor did he expect that he would transform himself into a court official, and he was also the magistrate of Zhili County, which the emperor appointed, and was responsible for such an important place.

Life is really too sudden.

Chen Zilong felt dazed, excited, and at the same time, stressed.

Chen Zilong in official history is a tragic figure.

He also actively resisted the Qing Dynasty, but in the end he was powerless and threw himself into the water and died for his country.

In fact, Chen Zilong has many considerations.

1. Chen Zilong himself is from Songjiang Mansion and is very familiar with Songjiang Mansion. He has done business at home and is very familiar with small businessmen.

2. Chen Zilong is quite talented in the Jiangnan area, and has a brilliant literary talent. He has a long reputation in the Shilin world.

He is actually for other young talents in Jiangnan. Let them see that I am actually a person who does not care about my background and is a person who is willing to promote talents in an extraordinary way.

Third, it can be regarded as giving Fang Yizhi and others a face.

A scholar-type talent like Fang Yizhi was also a very urgent talent in the Ming Dynasty, especially an all-round genius like him.

Appointing people from the Southeast area can eliminate some misunderstandings between the emperor and this area and alleviate the contradictions between the two sides.

There are many talents here, such as Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi, and Gu Yanwu.

There are also people like Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai.

They are all people who are really thinking about saving the country.

The so-called rule of the world is one of people, two of money, and three of laws and regulations.

After seeing Chen Zilong, Chongzhen went to bed early.

News about the emperor coming to Nanjing spread rapidly in the officialdom.

An official who is very excited on weekdays suddenly became honest today.

As night fell, the business of some brothels became more depressed.

At this time, it was not only the officials who knew that the emperor was in Nanjing, but the rich businessmen in Nanjing also received news.

Some big businessmen have some official backgrounds behind them.

Where did the last time the emperor went south?

Oh, Henan, Kaifeng Prefecture.

The last time dozens of officials from Kaifeng Prefecture moved, King Zhou went to Beijing honestly.

These are all vivid in the purpose.

Not only the merchants also became honest. Not long after arriving in Nanjing, the princes who were still in an excited state learned that the emperor had come down, and they immediately even spoke much less, as if they were afraid of disturbing others.

Some people even replaced their usual big fish and meat with vegetarian soup, and when the emperor came, everyone became gentle and polite.

Chongzhen slept well.

I got up early the next morning.

In the past two days, he has been in the Forbidden City in Nanjing, never going anywhere, and no one has seen each other again.

It seems that I have not come to Nanjing, and the meaning is very obvious. Everyone should do whatever they should do and just pretend that I don’t exist.

However, Nanjing has been very lively these two days.

Because the exam date of Nanjing University is near.

Although many traditional scholars look down on it, many people from some surrounding counties still come to refer to it.

Even some scholars who could not pass the exam took the opportunity to come over.

For a moment, Nanjing City became extremely lively.

It was September 15th in a blink of an eye, and the day for the Nanjing University exam was here.

There are two main forms of the exam.

A written test is simply writing test papers.

One is a question-and-answer test, where the examiner asks and answers one by one.

The reason why they are separated in this way is that a considerable number of people with experience and knowledge in agriculture and handicrafts have never read books, and most of them do not even know each other.

But this group of people does have valuable knowledge reserves.

The essence of human knowledge system is the accumulation of experience, accumulated from generation to generation.

There is no distinction between high and low knowledge itself.

This is also one of the purposes of running a new school.

As for the written test, in order to reflect the importance of the exam, it was directly arranged to take the exam in the Jiangnan Gongyuan.

The most lively section on the Qinhuai River this day was blocked, and many people looked at the Jiangnan Gongyuan curiously.

This scene is very similar to the scientific expedition.

Until now, people suddenly realized that the Ming Dynasty seemed to be really changing.

Even the scientific research is reforming.

In the afternoon, Chongzhen and Wang Qiaonian discussed some perfect measures for Nanjing University.

Since Nanjing University has begun to recruit students, it is imperative to establish Nanjing Geju Academy in Nanjing.

Moreover, agriculture and planting industries in the southeast are very developed, and research on agriculture will inevitably be better than that of Beijing.

Chongzhen also gave an idea, and he believed that it was possible to set up the highest agricultural award at Nanjing University.

Use this award to build momentum for the establishment of Nanjing University.

Now the imperial court continues to continue to have a large number of new talents. The bigger the momentum, the better it is, and it is best for more people to know.

This can greatly enhance the influence of Nanjing University in the southeast.

As for this award, it is called the "Houji Award".

The amount of the prize is 100,000 taels.

The 100,000 taels were derived from the budget of Nanzhili.

The imperial court implemented the responsibility subcontracting management in Nanzhili, and Nanzhili could apply for budget development by itself.

On the afternoon of September 16, Cao Huachun submitted a document.

It was written by Wang Jingwen.

At this time, Wang Jingwen was arranged to concentrate on writing his agricultural books in a room south of the city, which were about potassium nitrate compound fertilizer.

The excited document presented to Chongzhen at this time is Wang Jingwen's summary of recent times.

He also applied some of the knowledge in traditional Chinese medicine to fertilizers.

Theoretically, there has been great progress in exploring potassium nitrate.

If the research direction is explored in this direction, it will be of great value.

Potassium nitrate is not only a compound fertilizer, but also a preservative. A certain amount of potassium nitrate can preserve food and even make the first generation of canned food.

After reading it, Chongzhen was very satisfied.

Give Wang Jingwen enough space to think and explore by himself.

This kind of professional talent is what the imperial court needs most at present.

After dinner, Cao Huachun brought the review papers for the new Nanjing University exam yesterday.

He mainly sent the group with excellent grades, with a total of 20 places.

There were 10 people who took the written test and 10 people who took the oral test. Some people specially recorded the oral test and excerpted the records.

Obviously, all the results of this exam have come out.

At this time, it was related to the foundation of Nanjing University, and Chongzhen was cautious and cautious.
Chapter completed!
