Chapter 116 Chen Daming's Story

The inner mansion has a scripture factory that specializes in printing various books. The inner mansion’s version is not only excellent in terms of plate making and printing quality. If used to collect it, it is definitely the best choice.

Many eunuchs from the Silijian especially like to let the Jingchang factory print some books about the benevolence, righteousness and morality of heaven and earth, but these books naturally have no sales. Even if they are forcibly distributed, they still cannot be sold, so the policy losses are very serious.

But Jingchang is a super-large enterprise under bureaucratic management, with a rigid system and a large number of people. They cannot afford to rely on their own business. Fortunately, Jingchang's background is deep and hard, so they can rely on printing various popular novels and even recruit various gray businesses to survive.

The first printed version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in history was printed by the inner palace. This time, the printed version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" even started the trend of countless popular novels in the late Ming Dynasty. It was precisely because of these popular novels with a large volume that the factory could maintain.

As long as there is enough profit, the Neijing Factory dares to print any book with the background of the Nei Mansion.

During the Wanli period, the Neijing Factory even printed countless exquisite and sophisticated Hongyang Teaching treasure scrolls. It was precisely because the Hongyang Teaching followed the path of the Jing Factory that the quantity and quality of the scriptures printed ranked first among all the sects, so that they could be spread all over the country for a long time.

Therefore, as long as there is enough money to follow the path of the inner court's economic factory, local officials generally dare not check the printed version of the inner court. Chen Daming felt that this idea was good: "When the title of the inner court's economic factory came out, who dares to check our "Biographies of the Ming Dynasty", but how should this book be written?"

Liu Peng continued very seriously: "I have already thought about the story in the book. The protagonist is Chen Daming, who is also an official in the county. He has great powers and makes friends from all over the world. He judges cases like a god. He has seized countless cases and arrested countless bandits. This man is similar to Uncle Chen's name, has similar habits, has the same origin, and is even his ancestral home!"

"The story is about how Chen Daming decides the case?" Chen Daming was so happy: "I have solved many strange cases, and I have heard people talk about many incredible cases, which can be used."

In Chen Daming's eyes, this "Biographies of the Ming Dynasty" is equivalent to half of his life autobiography. If he is really a person with a heart, of course he can see at a glance that the so-called "Chen Daming" is the incarnation of his Chen Bantou.

But Liu Peng's idea was different: "The story of deciding a case is naturally written, and the more it is better, but the key is how Chen Daming was promoted and made a fortune. In the book, he helped the Ming Dynasty to be selfless, broke countless strange cases, captured countless rebels and thieves, and promoted step by step, and finally became a provincial censor!"

After Liu Peng said this, the genre of this story naturally changed, from autobiographical documentary to almost fantasy official novels, which are far from the real image of Chen Daming and Chen Bantou.

This way, the resistance to publication will be even smaller, but Chen Daming thought of the other side: "Why didn't Chen Daming become the governor in the end?"

Within the system of the Ming Dynasty, officials were very low-level and had almost no chance of promotion. Although they were nominally known as "using the three ways together", in fact, miscellaneous ways meant that they would never have the chance to be promoted in their lifetime. Even if a small class leader like Chen Daming wanted to find a miscellaneous position, it was more difficult than a scholar who won the three-yuan win in a scholar.

In the early days of the country, there were examples of officials directly being moved to the prefect. In the Zhengtong Dynasty, it was clearly stipulated that those who were born in officials were not allowed to serve as prefects. In the future, there was less and less way out for those who were born outside the main route. In the early years of this dynasty, Zhangju was in charge of the country and two magistrates from Shandong had emerged, which were considered to have been hired with exceptions.

The more he had no future, the more he felt depressed, the more he wanted to ascend to the sky step by step. When he heard that he could be a censor in the book, Chen Daming was already happy, but he felt that the censor was still a little bit unfair. Gu Mengyu immediately raised a question next to him: "Uncle Chen, after all, Chen Daming was a clerk, and it was good to be a censor in a province."

"Not enough!" Chen Daming was deeply involved in this novel of Romance, which had not yet written a word: "At least, he should be a governor!"

Liu Peng did not expect Chen Daming to have such considerations: "Then Chen Daming has the talent of Jingtianwei and has made contributions to rescue the emperor. Not to mention the governor, the governor, or even the prince's young security guard, the six ministers will be fine."

"That's good, that's good! It's better to be the Minister of Revenue first, then transfer to the Minister of Personnel, and then enter the cabinet and become the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. If you don't become the Minister of Justice, then I'm satisfied!"

"That's easy to do, that's easy to do!" Liu Peng discussed the details of the novel with Chen Daming: "Chen Daming can be the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel, and then directly enter the cabinet and become the chief minister."

Although Chen Daming also knew that "no one should be allowed to enter the cabinet unless he was a Jinshi". A minor official from a mixed journey could not even be a magistrate, but this did not affect his cheerful talk about the plot of the novel: "This is very good, this is very good. Then when he became the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Personnel, and the Minister of Justice, would he shoulder the shoulders of the shoulders?"

Although he had a little bit of a thought about Xingming in his heart and looked down on him, he had been practicing Xingming for decades. After all, he heard that he had the chance and finally thought about the dedication of the Minister of Justice. Liu Peng immediately agreed: "Since Uncle Chen said that, there must be no problem! Even if you become the chief minister, you have also chosen the six Ministers of the Minister of Justice!"

If this sentence is said in the officialdom, it will definitely be laughed at for several months, but Chen Daming felt that it is the most natural and reasonable. However, he still had a question: "Just put it this way, since Chen Shuofu is a clerk, how can he be promoted step by step to the stage to become a minister?"

This story is really too illusory. Now Chen Damingshuang thinks that we should pay attention to a little rationality, and Liu Peng quickly gave a reasonable explanation: "This matter is easy to deal with. We can tell such a story. The Western Regions led 800,000 troops to invade the border. The Ming Dynasty was helpless and the emperor and his ministers were helpless. They offered a reward. Heroes from all directions, regardless of their origin, as long as they retreated from the army of the Daliang Kingdom, they could be granted a marquis and ministers!"

Chen Daming suddenly felt that his life had become perfect!

Only such a life is valuable and meaningful!
