Chapter 157
On the same day, Tie Xuan brought a few officials from the household department who were good at business and trade to the Commerce Department located near the Yamen of Yingtian Mansion.

It was precisely because he knew His Highness's ambition that Tie Xuan would delay there, and impatiently spread paper and ink, and wrote the notice himself.

Immediately afterwards, he personally posted the notice on the door of the Department of Commerce and Trade.

It is written above that no matter if you are an official, a peddler, or a merchant or craftsman, if you have novelty or other talents, you can come and recommend yourself!

The government will also give rewards or commend their merits according to the individual's talent status, and those with outstanding talents can also be awarded official titles!
Because the Department of Commerce and Trade has just been established, many people are not familiar with it, nor do they know that this is a government office.

Therefore, as soon as the notice was posted, many people did not pay attention.

I just looked at a few people in official uniforms standing in front of the door from a distance, not knowing what was going on.

Besides, ordinary people are not afraid of officials, so no one took the initiative to join in.

"Master Tie, whether you need to ring the gong or not, I ask you to make the decision." The official beside him asked.

Tie Xuan gritted his teeth, and immediately ordered: "Bring the gong! I will ring the gong myself!"

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the little official handed the gong and mallet into his hand with a very winking look.

The officer beside him hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, you are the Shangguan, let your subordinates come down."

But Tie Xuan shook his head and said, "This matter is so important, it's not a trifling matter! I want to ring the gong myself!"

"bang bang bang... bang bang bang..."

"bang bang bang... bang bang bang..."

Tie Xuan knocked the gong loudly, and the huge sound came through immediately.

Because the Department of Commerce was already in a busy city, when the gong sounded, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Because whenever the government has any announcements to let the people know, they will ring the gong to gather the crowd and explain the announcement.

The people are also used to it.

So as soon as the sound of the gong was heard, many people immediately surrounded it, but after a while, many people surrounded it from the inner third floor to the outer third floor.

Seeing that the people had almost arrived, Tie Xuan stopped.

Someone asked: "Master, what is written in your notice?"

Tie Xuan said in a loud voice: "Everyone, the Department of Commerce and Trade is under the Ministry of Household Affairs. Today, a notice has been posted to let the people know..."

So Tie Xuan read the content of the notice again, and explained loudly: "Everyone! The Department of Commerce and Trade is looking for talents from the people today. If there are talents among the people, if there are skills, if they can benefit civil……"

"I don't care about my birth, my age, my wealth, or my family. You can come and recommend yourself! After the official inspection, those who have excellent grades will be rewarded! You can also be commended by the government, and the family will be honored! Even if you are awarded an official position!"

The people asked: "Sir, do you mean that as long as you think you are talented, you can recommend yourself?"

Tie Xuan looked at everyone's eyes and said firmly: "You are right! Anyone with talent can recommend himself! Of course, you can also recommend others, and those who recommend meritorious service will be rewarded!"

Another commoner asked: "Master Guan, if this is really talented, will the government really give it to an official?"

"That's right! But it still needs to be inspected by the government. If it is really outstanding and can benefit the people, it will reward the official position!"

"Yo... you really know how to do it!"

Tie Xuan's answer surprised the common people. It must be known that most of the officials selected in Hongwu Dynasty were selected from Juren.

Because from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, there have been few imperial examinations.

Scholars passed the examination as a scholar, and after further examinations for juren, the government would select some of the juren to serve as officials.

And those who can pass the exam have to go through years of hard study.

And even if they pass the Juren examination, the government may not necessarily confer official positions on all of them.

As a poor family, not to mention the expensive pens, ink, paper and inkstones and books, just say that they have to do heavy labor when they are very young, how can they have time to read?
Every man is the labor force of the family. Without him, the whole family may go hungry. Who can study at ease?
Therefore, most of the people who can pass the exam should at least have to worry about food and drink at home.

Besides, to be an official, in addition to having a rich family background and diligent study, one must also have enough luck!

Otherwise, even if you pass the Juren examination, it will be helpless for the government not to grant you an official position.

Now there is actually a way to become an official of the imperial court without having to study hard in the cold window, and without having to pass various exams.

There is no need to even hope that the ancestral grave will smoke and be selected by the government.

No matter who is talented, he can be an official after passing the assessment!
What great news this must be!

What a great grace this is!
But such great news, followed by doubts!
After all, compared with the imperial examination, it seems too simple and too easy.

It's like a person who has been down for many years and can't read the big words, doing butchers and selling dogs, or even insignificant things, barely able to support his family.

Now someone suddenly told him that he could be an official, that he could become an official master!
Who can believe it?

He didn't think that the person who sent the message was insane, but his brain was burnt out!
So the common people talked and said: "This can't be... Is it so easy to give the official status?"

"That's right! If it were so easy, who would study hard..."

"So I can also become an official master? Who will believe it!

"The government is joking, it's too mysterious!"

"That's right, so blacksmiths and carpenters can also be officials... Hahaha..."

There are many people who talk about it, but few people believe it, and those who believe it are not very sure.

After all, they had never heard of such a thing.

……

In Wei Guogong's mansion, a girl with a white veil entered Xu Huizu's study with a cup of herbal tea.

Xu Huizu was concentrating on reading, when he suddenly saw a cup of tea appearing in front of his eyes, looked up, saw that it was his younger sister, and said with a smile on his face, "Third Sister, why are you here?"

The girl lightly opened her red lips and said: "Seeing that my brother has not gone out, isn't my brother feeling thirsty?"

"This little thirst is nothing. I didn't have any problem without eating or drinking for two days during the war!"

The girl teased and said, "My brother hasn't fought many battles, but his tone is quite small!"

"Hahaha……"

Being exposed by his sister, Xu Huizu was not embarrassed, and smiled comfortably: "Even if you don't fight, you have to learn the courage to fight hard! Sit down quickly."

The girl sat on the chair, her face flushed slightly, "Brother, I heard that you went to put down the rebellion this time, and you were sentenced to be sieged by thieves, is it particularly dangerous?"

Xu Huizu didn't notice anything strange about his sister, he shook his head and said: "That's not me, it's His Highness the Third Highness, don't make a mistake."

 Thanks to the book friends for meditating on the local method, and rewarding with benevolence and kindness!Thanks!
