Yang Shiqi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Little Brother Yang is really a smart person?"

Xia Yuanji nodded secretly, twisted his long beard under his chin and said, "This kid, there is still a bit of vision!" At the beginning, Zhou Zhen was recommended as the county guard, but Xia Yuanji did not agree, and said to the recommender: "This is often the same, and Zhou Jun is enough?"

Yang Shiqi also had the heart to test this talent who was highly recommended by Xia Yuanji, and listened to Yang Zheng's words: "It's okay, Lord Zhou, can you talk about it?"

At this time, the sky was still dark, but fortunately, many lanterns were lit around to illuminate the noon gate as bright as day.

Zhou Zhen seemed to be prepared, Rumo's eyes flashed a glimmer of light, and he was not in a hurry after listening to the inquiry, he had been a county magistrate, a magistrate, a county magistrate, a magistrate, a Prefect and other official positions, as long as people who know him know, Zhou Chen has a habit, that is, he always carries a notebook with him on weekdays, and records everything that happens every day, regardless of size, or important or not, all of them are recorded in detail, even if the weather is cloudy and rainy every day, Zhou Chen will never let go, but every specific situation reported by his subordinates is recorded word for word, many people do not understand Zhou Chen's move, thinking that this person seems to have a problem with his thoughts, as a governor, how can he bow down to everything in detail, so that people will not be tired to death; , then what do so many officials do as errands, wouldn't it be a waste of the country's money?

But Zhou Chen doesn't think so, he doesn't care what others think of him, and he doesn't explain to people the reasons and benefits of doing so. But as long as he was in office for one day, he kept a record of what happened every day, what his men told him, and what he personally learned from the common people. Until one day, people from a county in Jiangnan came to report that a grain ship carrying from afar suddenly encountered a storm and was blown away by a strong wind, and all the grain it was carrying fell into the sea. In fact, a boatload of grain is not important, in this place in the south of the Yangtze River, the most productive thing is grain, but you must know that it is the official grain levied by the imperial court, if it is lost, the severity of the matter is not something that an individual can bear. Zhou Chen had heard that some people embezzled the country's property and grain through various means, but he had been struggling to find a breakthrough to investigate and punish those criminals who engaged in favoritism and fraud. Zhou Chen summoned all the managers. Then the person who reported the loss of the grain ship was brought to the lobby for questioning, and Zhou Chen asked him to tell him what day the grain ship was lost, whether it was morning or afternoon, what the weather was like at that time, whether the east wind was blowing or the west wind, how many ships were sailing at sea, and so on. The man answered Zhou Chen's questions one by one, and the answers were very quick and complete, without the slightest pause. Zhou Chen opened the notepad and checked the weather on the day and the sailing of the ships at sea that he recorded, but the answer was not correct. At this time, that person knew that his affairs had been exposed, so he immediately knelt down and confessed to the fact that he had embezzled the grain ship, and also took the initiative to recruit accomplices and other officials who used power for personal gain. This is enough to show that he has put a lot of effort into his weekdays over the years, he seems to be wooden, not stupid, and can even be said to be an extremely smart person, where do you not know that this kind of opportunity is very rare, he nodded at Yang Zheng first, thanked him without moving, and then said to Yang Shiqi: "Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, it is the law of square meters, and it is the best in Jiangnan!" After a pause, he said: "The method of square meters is the most suitable for waterways, there are many major water systems in Jiangnan, as long as the river is unblocked, this square meter method can be used?"

Although it was only two points, Yang Shiqi nodded secretly, the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty and the officer Yuecheng were all from Nanjing, while Suzhou, The people of Songzhou were transferred to Nanjing, each stone was added to the cost of six buckets, in this way, it is undoubtedly increased the burden of the people, if you use this square meter method, you only need to order the government to pay, and the price of the ship rice a bucket, the rest of the five buckets, to the official money purchased, put into the warehouse, one can save food for the imperial court, and the two people also reduce the loss of transportation, it can be said that it is a way to kill two birds with one stone, and Jiangnan supports half of the Ming Dynasty's taxes, the law of square meters, is indeed the most suitable for Jiangnan?

Xia Yuanjiben was a little worried that Yang Shiqi was a little disdainful of Mu Ne's Zhou Pillow, but at this time, seeing Yang Shiqi nodding frequently, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "It seems that the official career in the past few years has made Xie Ru (Zhou Zhen's character) mature a lot?

The atmosphere on the field became cheerful because of this topic, and at this time I heard a pleasant bell, the bell seemed urgent, Yang Zheng entered the palace for the first time, looked curiously, but saw Yang Shiqi began to crackle on his body for a while, tidied up his official robes and then walked towards the noon gate.

After walking a few steps, seeing that Yang Zheng was still stunned, he hurriedly walked back and said, "Don't look at it, it's up to the court, and you missed the hour, isn't it fun?"

Yang Zheng said "oh", and walked side by side with Yang Shiqi to the noon gate, taking advantage of this stall, Yang Shiqi hurriedly said the various rules of the early dynasty.

These rules were set as early as the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, when Zhu Yuanzhang said in the Ministry of Etiquette that "the court's etiquette is more expensive than the strict, and the civil and military officials who are close to the court often compete for progress, the grade is disordered, and the superior is not immoral, and it is not even so the Ming etiquette law and the Zhen Dynasty Gang", which stipulates the entry order: the general enters first, the second close servant official, the second prince and the second marquis, the second five prefectures and six departments, and the second should be the heavenly government and miscellaneous officials in Beijing. Those who are not as good as the ceremony, from the supervision of the imperial history and the ceremonial department (the predecessor of the Honglu Temple) to rectify the impeachment, after Yongle, the brocade guards guarding the noon gate simply inspected the court officials, according to the seniority of the continued advance, dare to have a crowd of people, Xu Jiaoyi officials captured and fell. Yang Zheng didn't expect that there were so many rules for entering the door, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.

Everyone gathered in front of the door, Yang Shiqi muttered a few words to him, and then hurriedly separated, because the civil and military entered the court in two shifts, the text was from the left to the door, and the martial arts were from the right door. After entering, first in the south of Jinshui Bridge according to the grade order, waiting for the whip, each to cross the bridge in the second time, the text is the left class (east class), the martial arts is the right class (west class), on both sides of the royal road to stand in the opposite direction, called "living". Yang Zheng is still a general of the left army of the Shenji Battalion of the fourth grade, he is considered a military general, and he can't get started with him, but fortunately, the leader of the military general is the British Gong Zhang Fu, the two hurriedly took a photo, Yang Zheng is not afraid of making a mistake, and he followed the team to enter, and saw many guards along the way, staring at the officials who entered the entrance with a pair of fiery eyes, looking at the deep courtyard in front of him, Yang Zheng felt a little bit like he could not come out when he went in.

Outside the noon gate, the civil and military officials were busy memorizing the rules of entry, for fear of making a mistake, and the palace was also busy, since Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, it cost huge manpower and material resources, imitating the Nanjing Imperial Palace to build Fengtian, canopy, and self-esteem. In less than 100 days, the three major halls were struck by lightning and caused a fire, and the fire was raging and unstoppable. The Fengtian Hall (now the Taihe Palace), one of the three major halls near the Secret Pavilion of the Academy, was also affected, and at that time, Yang Rong, a scholar of the university, led 300 warriors to rush the imperial books and books to the outside of the Donghua Gate, but fortunately they were not destroyed. However, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was very frightened, thinking that this fire was God's punishment for him, and on the day of the fire, he went to the temple and the Sheji altar to worship, praying for the blessing of the ancestors and God. But God and ancestors did not bless Zhu Di's "loyalty" , In the more than ten years after the fire, the palace almost every year fire, so that Zhu Di is very uneasy, the right to Fengtianmen as a place to listen to the government, the three major halls of the Ming Dynasty can be said since the fire, decades have not been visited by the emperor, now, the new emperor ascended the throne, actually to hold a court meeting in the Jinluan Palace, this can be busy a group of eunuchs, because the emperor here on weekdays do not come much, almost more than a year ignored it, the dust is inevitably more, the tables, chairs and benches are inevitably messy, and even a lot of calligraphy and paintings are broken, today is the first court meeting of the new emperor's head on the throne, the significance is naturally extraordinary, the order was issued, Wang Zhen began to arrange people to clean。

The Jinluan Hall is located in the center of the Forbidden City and is one of the three major halls of the Forbidden City. It is built on a white marble pedestal about two zhang high. The carved railing that stands in a row around the pedestal is called the pillar of hope, the column head is carved with the pattern of cloud dragon and cloud phoenix, there are three stone steps before and after, the middle stone step is carved with the dragon, and the "royal road" that sets off the waves and the flowing clouds is set off. In the hall, there are the wooden pillars of the gold lacquer and the delicate dragon caisson well, hang the plaque of "Jianji Suiyou", and the middle of the hall is the symbol of the feudal imperial power - the golden lacquer carved dragon throne. The red wall and yellow tiles of the Taihe Palace, the golden door of Zhu Ying, are resplendent in the sun, it is the most spectacular building of the Forbidden City, and it is also the largest hall of the Imperial Palace, which has not been used for many years, and the busyness can be imagined, fortunately, the emperor also knows the situation of the three halls, and today is a problem related to the face of the heavenly family, so the people sent are really a lot, the eunuchs of the 24th Bureau are here, and they have been cleaning from the front of the door, Rao is a lot of people, and they have also swept from the first watch day to the third watch, and then under the command of Chen Wu, the emperor will use the halogen book, honor guard, The lamps and lanterns are complete and other furnishings, so that on the fourth watch, under the leadership of Wang Zhen, began to fill in the calligraphy and painting on the wall, and finally at the end of the fourth watch, the first qiē was cleaned clean, neat and tidy, and there was no shadow of many years of uselessness.
