Your Majesty, she doesn't want to flip the brand

After hearing Ye Ningxuan's intention to hold a draft next year, most of the officials had smiles on their faces.After successfully achieving their goals, they also flattered Ye Ningxuan without hesitation.

Although she knew that they were coaxing herself, and what they said was half-truth, but after being flattered by the ministers, Ye Ningxuan couldn't help but deepen the smile on her face.

Do these people know what the so-called draft is? If they knew, these self-praising words would be different.

It was rare for Ye Ningxuan to let go of the draft. After seeing the draft requirements listed by Zhou Xingzhi, the ministers did not delve into it. They just thought that Zhou Xingzhi's current preferences had changed, and they went to prepare candidates happily.

Although Zhou Xingzhi's requirements are a bit strict for ordinary women, they cannot stand up to a large base.It is normal that there are no such people in a village, but in a township or county, there will always be a few outstanding people.

After spending two months, the results of the primary election came out, and a total of 3000 people were selected.These 3000 people will rush to the capital in batches according to different regions for further screening.

"This is the list they sent up." Ye Ningxuan pushed over a pile of thick booklets, "Here is the record of their birth date, place of origin and family status."

Zhou Xingzhi nestled in the chair, and when he saw the booklet that could almost block her, a painful expression appeared on his face, "Ning Xuan, don't you want me to read it all?"

"Do you think I will do that?" Ye Ningxuan said to Zhou Xingzhi, then picked up the top book and handed it to Zhou Xingzhi, "This is the statistical data, those places near the capital and the south of the Yangtze River, the selected people Extraordinary."

Zhou Xingzhi sat up straight, took the booklet and opened it for a look, "The distribution of the number of people here is too uneven. There are 3000 people in total, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang together account for 1000 people."

"Jiangsu and Zhejiang are wealthy, and most of them are merchants' families. Whether they are sons or daughters, they will invite teachers to teach." Ye Ningxuan said, "We originally planned to select talents from the local area, and then send them back after training to let them develop their hometowns, but now It's probably going to be the other way around."

Zhou Xingzhi frowned slightly, "If they are arranged too far away, they may not be willing."

Restricted by the times, it is not easy for these women to be as talented as men.If they are arranged in a strange place again, even if they are willing, the family members will not be willing.Not to mention other things, just suppressing a reputation of being unfilial is enough to dissuade most people.

Zhou Xingzhi wanted to recruit enough talents this time, instead of just a few top-notch ones, so she had to be more thoughtful.

"Xingzhi, there are no absolutes. We have 3000 people. Even if we choose one out of ten, we can still get [-] talents we need." Ye Ningxuan said, she felt that Zhou Xingzhi's thinking was too pessimistic.

"Before I entered the palace, my father often sighed that it would be great if I were a man, and I would definitely be named a marquis." Ye Ningxuan said with a sigh, "I was very unconvinced when I heard it for the first time. Why can't I be appointed as a Marquis or Prime Minister if I am not a man, obviously I am also capable."

"I believe that I am not the only one who has such an idea. What we lack is neither talent nor hard work, but just an opportunity to prove ourselves."

Facts have proved that what Ye Ningxuan said is closer to the truth.After spending a rare and leisurely New Year holiday, the selected 3000 people also arrived in the capital one after another, and began to receive systematic teaching and training.

Logically speaking, the empress should be responsible for this matter, but Ye Ningxuan was still responsible for the half of the emperor's task, so she couldn't spare her hands to toss about this matter.After discussing everything, this arduous task was handed over to Qin Ran, who seemed to be the most relaxed.

"No problem. I'm familiar with the drafting process. You only need to make some changes in the details to select the person you need." Qin Ran agreed when she heard that she had nothing to do recently.Zhong Qingyi was working on the shipping to the south of the Yangtze River recently, and needed to go to Suzhou once. No one was with her, so Qin Ran didn't run outside the palace.

"Then I would like to thank Sister Qin Ran." Zhou Xingzhi said happily. Since the matter between Zhong Qingyi and Qin Ran was revealed, Zhou Xingzhi also changed the name of Qin Ran in private, so as not to make the seniority messy.

"By the way, I have a small suggestion. If you value this group of talents, you'd better test their character while examining their local talents, and weed out those who have bad ideas first. Get out." Qin Ran said, "After all, there will definitely be some people who are not pure in their minds this time."

No matter what, Qin Ran had been a queen for a few years. When the late emperor was there, there were many intrigues in the harem. Some people looked noble and arrogant on the surface, but they were as vicious as they were behind their backs.

"Okay, then according to Sister Qin Ran's wishes, plus the teaching and testing of morality." Zhou Xingzhi agreed, and professional things should be left to professional people.

On the other side, Zhong Qingyi was wrapped in a thick cloak, and sat in a carriage to Suzhou to find Lu Man and Qi Xiuyuan.

"Boss Zhong, this is the big boat we made according to the blueprint you provided. As long as the food reserves are sufficient, it can sail on the sea for a whole year." Lu Man said. .

Zhong Qingyi looked curiously at the nearly 30-meter-long boat that was five meters above the water in front of him, "Have you tried sailing before?"

"I've tried it, once back and forth, 30 days, and there is no problem." Lu Man replied, "However, the manufacturing process of this ship is too complicated. Even if I find a lot of people, I can only make one Come three."

"It's enough, the three ships can already carry hundreds of people." Zhong Qingyi's tone was a little excited, "Start recruiting people according to what I said before, and when the spring begins in February, we will set off on a long voyage!"
