The Yu family was originally a nobleman, but his daughter was a concubine in the palace, and in the case of the queen's position being hollow, Concubine De, who was the fourth concubine, was already a celebrity in the palace, especially since she was the only concubine who had a dragon heir. The stammering man is like a carp crossing the river. In the end, he copied out the family property worth more than 800,000 yuan, and Su Tanran directly broke it in the court, scolded the moths of the country, and ordered a thorough investigation of the property transactions of the Yu family.

There was silence in the court, and everyone was in danger for a while. You must know that being an official in the court is inevitable about this, even if it is not corruption and bribery, but there is always a reason to receive money and gifts in interpersonal contacts. Otherwise, how to support a family, how to use the servants and maids. How many people are officials for the sake of the people, and how many people are officials for status and wealth?

The secretary of the military department in the corner came out tremblingly, saying that he had sorted out the list of personnel. However, in one day, he did a good job of the emperor's explanation, which made Su Qian impressed. "There are so many people, how did you get it so fast?

"Back to Your Majesty, there were 150,000 soldiers who accompanied Zhenguo Gong on the expedition this time, and 24,287 survived in the end. When these people returned to the camp in Jingxi, they were all registered, and the rest were warriors who died for their country. The military department Shangshu calmed down his mood and said unhurriedly.

Su Tianran just wanted to pick a thorn, and after listening to his slow speech, his breath was already not much gone. "I asked you to reply, and you were so slow to answer. Su Qiran casually flipped through the few folds handed over by the eunuch, and saw that the words on them were Juanxiu, but he didn't speak again. He gave the fold to the head of the household, and asked them to subsidize the families of the fallen soldiers fifty taels per person.

No one in the court is not merciful. After all, there was no compassionate money before. You should protect your family and defend the country, and besides, if you are a soldier, the state will take care of your food and drink and give you monthly silver. Every month, the average soldier has no more than five dollars of silver per month. Now that he has been martyred for his country, the compassionate money is fifty taels.

Looking at the look of Hubu Shangshu who had something to say, Su Tianran glared at him. He endured it obediently.

Su took out a fold book from his sleeve and filled in the amount on it. I wrote this book before, but I don't know how much property the Yu family has, so I didn't write the amount.

"You take this to the Zhenguo Mansion and give it to Mo Tang. Su Tianran handed the fold to the eunuch on the side: "Sue him, the Yu family only got 800,000." ”

The eunuch took the order and left.

"I asked Mo Tang to implement the distribution, if there is one or two corruption, I will not spare it. Su Tianran was also relieved that Mo Tang was there, and he guaranteed that his family could get this amount.

He also asked the Ministry of Rites to issue a circular to let various places know the news.

"The minister has this to play. "Someone is out of the ranks. Su Qian fixed his eyes and saw that it was the Ministry of Industry: "Your Majesty, due to the flood last year, the river is full of holes, and it will be the thunderstorm season in autumn soon, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it." ”

"Allocate a million taels to repair the river, what do Zhong Aiqing think. Su Tianran looked at the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and smiled faintly.

Originally, someone wanted to jump out to oppose it, but looking at the emperor's smile, he didn't know why his heart was sudden, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said nothing.

Zuo Xiang said: "Your Majesty, in previous years, three million were allocated, but this year, the river is damaged, I am afraid that it will be enough to allocate five million." ”

"Bold!" Su Tianran slapped the jade seal again, and Zuo Xiang immediately knelt down: "The minister is panicked." ”

"You also know that with so much money allocated every year, the river course of Na I should have been solid for a long time, but now it is broken. How many taels of silver are painted on the river? Is there 500,000?" Su Tianran threw the jade seal aside: "Really be a fool? A bun only costs two pennies, how much does the mud and sand stone cost? and I don't carve dragons and phoenixes." ”

"800,000 a year, 1 million in the first year. Where there are bridges and ferries, dragons and phoenixes must be carved. There should be a gazebo by the bridge for the people to rest, all of which are excellent. Too lazy to look at the kneeling Zuo Xiang, he raised his eyebrows at the Ministry of Works: "If you can't do it, go back to your hometown to farm." I'll settle accounts with you before I go home. ”

The forehead of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu rolled down the sweat, and he quickly knelt down to receive the order.

There was a matter of the Yu family, Su Qian sighed gloomily and did not speak. Everyone instantly thought of Concubine De, who was still locked up in the prison, and was also silent.

"This time, my country has lost more than 120,000 elite soldiers, and I am heartbroken. However, if there is a strong enemy outside, it is better to replenish the troops as soon as possible. It is necessary to know that in winter, the border nomads will disturb again. Su said again.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to recruit so many soldiers for a while. At this time, it is almost the busy season of farming. It is better to transfer troops from other places. The secretary of the military department hurriedly knelt down: "The minister is incompetent, and the minister is guilty." ”

"......" will be the same sentence over and over again. I know you're guilty, but if you can, I'll have to ask your daughter-in-law. Su Tanran secretly complained in his heart: "At this time, the deployment of troops is also a labor move. Moreover, there are many veterans who are afraid that they will not be able to stand it. And training also needs good generals, what do you Aiqing have to say?"

"The minister is bold. The right minister knelt down: "Mo Tang, the prince of Zhenguo, is guilty, but this person has the ability to lead the troops to set up the formation, if there is Mo Tang, he will definitely be able to train elite soldiers." ”

"Huh. Su Tianran smiled: "This soldier has not been recruited yet, why is the right minister so anxious." "The right phase is Uncle Mo Tang. Seeing the two prime ministers kneeling side by side, Su Tanran simply laughed out loud: "Once your interests are involved, you will be positive." But the interests of the people, the interests of the country, you have become a turtle with a shrunken head. ”

When the rest of the people heard this, they knelt down and kowtowed. Su Tianran's words were a bit heartfelt, but they were also true. Emperors all know this truth, but no emperor will say it. They were afraid of provoking the revolt of their courtiers.

"That's it, that's it. Let's get up. You are all parents. Su Tianran's expression was very stern: "The ancients said that water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat." Think more about the people. ”

"Obey the Divine Commandment. ”

"There are soldiers in every prefecture and county, so let them help the people with the farming. I also know that the officers and soldiers in many places are like this, and they deserve to be commended. Su Tanran knocked on the table: "Carry out military service, call soldiers to every household in the country, and the age must be between seventeen and twenty years old. If anyone does not want it, ten thousand pieces of silver will be exempted from one person. The household department should keep an eye on it a little more. "It is said that 10,000 silver is free for one person, but where do ordinary people have these 10,000 taels. "Military service is five years, and anyone who reaches the age of 22 can return home. If there is a capable person, he can stay and continue to serve as a soldier. ”

"What is the amount of silver in the moon?" Hubu Shangshu hurriedly asked: "Is there any severance pay after the end of this military service, and can there be an exception for the eunuchs? What about the only son in the family?"

"One penny a month, one tael of severance pay. Whether he stayed or not, he continued to serve as a soldier, and he had a tael of silver. The Son of Heaven has to serve in the military, not to mention the eunuchs. If there are no siblings and only one parent in the family, they are exempt from military service. When he said the last sentence, Su glanced at the people below, and their son was also going. suddenly thought that Mo Tang was only nineteen this year: "The one who leads the post does not count." In addition, I will reform the imperial examination and establish a new department. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion below. Reforming the imperial examination is a real revolution. Su Tianran was very annoyed, and knocked on the table with the jade seal.

"Majesty~" The people below were still chattering, and the eunuch next to him suddenly knelt down and cried with a sad face.

"Above the court, what are you doing?" Su Tianran was a little inexplicable, could it be that this eunuch had a shocking grievance?

The eunuch looked at the jade seal with a sad face, and then crawled back: "The slave will go and find you a piece of shocking wood." ”

Su Tianran looked at the eunuch, looked at the eyes and noses below, and secretly cursed the minister of the wooden man for a dog slave. It's too embarrassing, okay?

"Ahem, reform the imperial examination. It is not to abolish the imperial examinations. What I mean is to expand the thinking of the whole people and develop all-round talents. Since then, the imperial examination has been divided into four systems, one is Chinese, which tests poetry and songs, and tests writing ability. One is mathematics, and the nine palaces are arithmetic. One is science, and science is divided into two subcategories, one is Luban skills, and the other is medicine and pharmaceutical. The last course is politics, which tests the perception of the national situation. All four subjects are on a 100-point scale, and 60 points are passed. Chinese and mathematics are the basis, and the remaining two subjects focus on choosing one, and science requires only a passing grade in language, mathematics and politics, but it itself requires more than 90 points. The number of words should be more than 90, and science is not required, but extra points can be added. The total score is added, and the admission is merit-based. After the age of twelve, each person can participate in the imperial examination before the age of sixteen, and if they pass the examination, they are not required to serve in the military. I want to open an academy to teach this group of young talents. Study for five years, retake the exam, and those who pass the test can enter the career. Those who have not passed after studying will come back next year, but three times, they will go home on their own. If you haven't passed the age of 16, you need to wait until you are 23 years old to take the test. Those who have completed the military service examination will be given 10 points to the total score. If you don't pass it, you can take the exam again every year, and after the exam, you will also enter the school to study. Su Tanran knocked on the table, and in order to block the mouth of the people below, he said: "The official eunuch can add points to one person." For example, a first-grade official can add nine points, and a seventh-grade official can add three points. It may be unfair to some people to implement it now, but there will always be unfairness when it is first implemented. The exam is held in September every year. Su Qianran felt that the college entrance examination in later generations was very good.

The official secretary hurriedly came out: "The minister must step up the process, but it is still a sub-academician township test." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu also said: "The ministers will do their best to inform the students of the world." ”

"It's only a township test, and it's June. It is set as the township test in August, and once the township test is passed, the national test will be opened in September. After a pause: "If you feel that the township test is abnormal, you can come to the national test to try again." Su Tianran smiled again: "The annual military service is in mid-August, and those who have passed the township examination can be extended to November. ”

The people below looked at each other and thought, "Why does the emperor always think about money?"

If Su Qianran knew what they were thinking, he would definitely scold them for being stupid, saying that everything was good, and if they didn't have money, they couldn't do anything. "Do you have any objections?"

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, what do you want to say, looking at the people sitting above and laughing weirdly and don't want to be the first bird.

"Good. Su Tianran hurriedly said, which can be regarded as knocking this matter down: "As for the establishment of another department, the category is to supervise hundreds of officials." Su Qian looked at some people below with satisfaction, and there were people behaving incorrectly.

"Every day, there are historians who record the events above the court. I will have people sort him out, whether it is good or bad, and then step up his printing and send it to every household in the capital to read, so that the people can also understand the affairs of the state and care about their own livelihood. It is also to monitor whether you have any bad behavior. The people are the best overseers. Su Tianran inexplicably appeared in his mind, "Aunt Chaoyang." "What is this?

"Ministers should be careful in their words and deeds, and serve their country. Listening to the words of the courtiers below, Su Tianran was very satisfied. glanced at the eunuch on the side.

The eunuch stepped forward and said: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat." "It's almost like today, and it's impossible to be a fat person in one bite.

After retiring from the dynasty, Su Qianran ordered someone to find the Hubu Shangshu. He remembered that every time he said something, there was always a little resentment in the eyes of the head of the household.
