I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 316 Military Aircraft Department Secretariat

Chapter 316 Military Aircraft Department Secretariat

"Lu Xiuzhuan, Lu Xiuzhuan, His Majesty wants to summon you."

Lu Xiangsheng, who was still chatting with other editors at the Hanlin Academy under Zhuang Jianchang's recommendation, was stunned when he heard the scribe's shout.

The editors and editors of the Hanlin Academy who were present to greet Lu Xiangsheng also looked incredulously when they saw that the emperor summoned Lu Xiangsheng so quickly.

You must know that this is Lu Xiangsheng's first time to serve in the Hanlin Academy, and according to what he just said, not many people know about it.

Now not long after this man arrived, his buttocks were not even hot, and the emperor was about to summon him.

It seemed that the emperor really valued him, and everyone couldn't help but feel envious when they thought of this.Although the editors and editors of the Hanlin Academy should be very close to the emperor in the Hanlin Academy, the chance of being summoned by the emperor is very rare.

Especially after the new emperor ascended the throne, apart from the scripture banquet, he had very little use for the Hanlin, so there was no need to summon them alone.

Now that this convention has been broken by Lu Xiangsheng, how can they not be envious of this.

"Brother Lu, your Majesty has summoned you. Go quickly."

Fortunately, everyone present was extremely smart. Even if they were envious, they knew that this fact could not be changed, so they quickly suggested that Lu Xiangsheng tidy up his manners and head to Dongnuan Pavilion as soon as possible.

Lu Xiangsheng also probably guessed the emperor's purpose in summoning him. Since the discovery at the Chuanlu Ceremony, he has also been full of curiosity about the emperor.So he immediately confessed to Zhuang Jianchang and others, followed the clerk out of the Hanlin Academy gate, and saw a young eunuch and two firemen waiting outside the door.

When Zhang Chang saw Lu Xiangsheng coming out, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Lu Zhuangyuan, please let the Ze family wait. As soon as His Majesty heard that you were actually on duty at the Hanlin Academy today, he immediately called the Ze family to summon you. It's better to leave quickly. Don't keep His Majesty waiting."

"Then I'll ask Eunuch Zhang to lead the way."

The secretary's office had introduced Zhang Chang to Lu Xiangsheng before he came, lest Lu Xiangsheng would offend the emperor's personal eunuch and get into trouble.

The Hanlin Academy of the Ming Dynasty was located southwest of the Daming Gate in the southernmost part of the Forbidden City. Fortunately, with Zhang Chang leading the way, Lu Xiangsheng and his party went much faster. They entered the Forbidden City directly through the Daming Gate and Chengtian Gate, and then rushed all the way to Dongnuang Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, Lu Xiang has arrived."

Zhu Youxiao, who was still reviewing the question book, heard Zhang Chang's voice, immediately put down his pen and said to him:
"Let him in."

Lu Xiangsheng, who was a little nervous along the way, walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion under the leadership of Zhang Chang. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the huge desk in the Nuan Pavilion covered with memorials and essays, as well as red ink pens.On the wall at the back, there is a large plaque with blackboard and gold clay, on which are written the four characters "Xiao Yi and Zhen Shi".

Under the plaque was the emperor Zhu Youxiao sitting on the throne. Seeing the emperor looking at him with a smile on his face, Lu Xiangsheng quickly knelt down and saluted:

"Wei Chen Hanlin Academy compiled Lu Xiangsheng and came to see His Majesty."

"I love you. Zhang Chang, please give me a seat."

Looking at Lu Xiangsheng, who only dared to sit half-length, Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied.In his view, this Lu Xiangsheng was a rare military and political talent.Even in later generations, he is famous, so as soon as I saw him that day, I secretly made up my mind to ensure that he can win in advance. Such talents need to be carefully cultivated, promoted and reused.

Fortunately, Lu Xiangsheng's ability is indeed outstanding and he has lived up to his expectations.Now that the dust has settled, I have been thinking about his use.

"Lu Xiangsheng, that day when I met you at the teahouse, I told you that you must be in high school. Looking back now, do you think I was right? Hahaha." Seeing the emperor mentioning this to him with a smile, Lu Xiangsheng also smiled bitterly, stood up and bowed:
"What your Majesty said is indeed accurate, but I didn't know it was your Majesty that day, so my words were very disrespectful. Please forgive me."

"Haha, what's the point? It would be boring if you knew my identity. But sometimes I admire my Sunrise Palace for being able to meet two talented people, you and Huang Dong. Now Huang Dong's business is It's booming, which shows that my investment is indeed correct, and now that you have won the first prize in the exam, it proves that I have not misjudged the person."

"These are all virtues commended by His Majesty. I dare not be greedy for merit."

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng being so humble, Zhu Youxiao didn't take it seriously.However, as an emperor, he was used to ministers talking like this, so he didn't care and continued to ask him.

"Winning the imperial examination is only the first step. The country is in a difficult situation now, and the court is at a time when it is hiring. As my first imperial examination, I will naturally pay great attention to you. You go to the Hanlin Academy today, what arrangements will Ding Shidu have for you? Not alive."

"Ding Shi read that Wei Chen had just entered the Imperial Academy, so he should first read the memorial to familiarize himself with the court system, and then assist in the compilation of "Guangzong Shilu"."

Zhu Youxiao nodded when he heard this. Ding Shaoshi's arrangement was quite reasonable. It would be better to familiarize yourself with the system and read more books when you first come in.

"Well, Master Ding has served in the Hanlin Academy for many years and is very familiar with the things inside. It is always right to listen to his words. But I have other plans for you."

Hearing what the emperor said, Lu Xiangsheng immediately became interested, stood up immediately, cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, please give me a clear explanation?"

Zhu Youxiao has been thinking about how to reuse Lu Xiangsheng. After all, he is an all-rounder with both civil and military skills.

Historically, he was appointed as the head of the Guizhou Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and then supervised Linqing's warehouse clearance. After that, he served in Linqing for nearly three years. During this period, he cleaned up warehouses and recovered arrears, resulting in thousands of envy and thirty-one thousand clearings, which led to miraculous business. , and continuously won the "best" (top grade) in the exams.

Later, during the Chongzhen period, after the appointment of Governor Xuanda, the problem of food and wages was solved, and the "food-based" policy was also proposed.

The so-called grain-related policy is actually an increase in taxes on the rich. The specific implementation method is: all farmers who pay a tax of less than [-] taels will not be levied an additional tax, while for wealthy households who pay a tax of more than [-] taels, they will be taxed according to their property. Depending on the amount, grain taxes will be levied to varying degrees.

Although this policy was finally distorted by Yang Changsi, many officials did not have and did not dare to have the courage to tax the rich. This is why Zhu Youxiao valued him.

Therefore, in Zhu Youxiao's plan, this kind of person who dares to take responsibility and has both civil and military skills is the most suitable to do things. In the future, it would be best for him to be the governor.

Therefore, his arrangement for Lu Xiangsheng was to let him learn more about the government affairs of the court more quickly, and he could not just read books in the Hanlin Academy.

"Some time ago, the Military Aircraft Department said that there has been a shortage of a clerk. I see that you are also reading some title books and regulations in the Hanlin Academy, and there is nothing particularly busy. Then just go to the Military Aircraft Department and take up this errand."

Lu Xiangsheng was shocked when he heard this. He never expected that the emperor would let him concurrently hold the position of Secretary of the Military Aircraft Department.

You should know that although the Military Aircraft Department was newly established, it dealt with major military aircraft matters. This made him feel flattered, so he quickly stood up and refused.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible."
