Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Qiyu playfully, this is really a person who dares to speak.

You must know that when Chen Qiyu said such a thing, it was not only the vassal kings everywhere who were offended, but all the top people in the world.

In the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the royal family or the nobles, or the gentry and scholars, there was no one who did not annex the land, and no one did not oppress the people, which is why the Ming Dynasty was difficult to return.

Even the emperor had a royal estate, and he had a large amount of land, and used the money he produced to support himself.

Under such circumstances, curbing land annexation is actually a joke, and Zhu Youxiao has long seen this clearly.

To suppress land annexation in this era is actually a castle in the air.

Because the ruling basis of the feudal imperial system is the landlord, where can the landlord come from without land annexation?

If you abolish the land annexation, who will support the emperor?

The entire vested interest class of the Ming Dynasty, including everyone, has no way to change it at all. It is impossible to pull one faction and fight another, because no class will accept your wooing.

Unless you can come up with a greater good and recreate a new class, it's no good at all.

Zhu Youxiao wanted to see what Chen Qiyu said, so he said with a smile: "Someone has also told me about this matter, but I haven't thought of a good solution for a while, I don't know if Aiqing can solve it?" ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Qiyu hurriedly took a step forward and said fairly: "The minister thinks that we should clean up the fields in the world, re-compile the fish scale book, find out the hidden land, and at the same time limit the amount of land and strictly restrict the sale and purchase of land. ”

Zhu Youxiao listened to Chen Qiyu's words and shook his head helplessly.

Or those words of this era, there is no great significance at all, and it is not even possible to talk about curing the symptoms, let alone curing the root cause.

Back then, Zhang Juzheng measured all the fields in the world, but so what?

Where is the fish scale book of the imperial court now?

Is it possible to collect taxes according to the records in the fish scale book?

It can't be done at all, the land is still hidden, it is still being annexed. If you don't change fundamentally, it's useless to tinker.

"Your idea is good, I will also think about it and let people check it out." Zhu Youxiao said with a deep groan.

He didn't want to continue talking to Chen Qiyu about this matter, because it really didn't make sense.

Zhu Youxiao continued: "You have done a good job in Henan, and I naturally have meritorious service. Tell me, is there anything you'd like to visit? ”

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Qiyu hesitated, he didn't expect that he still had such an opportunity, and he could choose where to go by himself.

Seeing that His Majesty was not tempting, Chen Qiyu had some ideas.

So he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if the minister can go to the General Administration?" ”

This is indeed the yamen that Chen Qiyu wants to go to, especially after experiencing this incident, he wants to go even more.

Chen Qiyu felt that he could contribute to the General Administration Department, and could do a lot of things for the Ming Dynasty and the people, and catch corrupt officials.

In Chen Qiyu's heart, corrupt officials harm people a lot.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Qiyu quietly.

This answer was something Zhu Youxiao didn't expect, why did Chen Qiyu think about going to the General Political Division?

This is very inconsistent with Zhu Youxiao's arrangement, and it is also not in line with the current interests.

The general administration department has begun to come to the front of the stage, and it will become more and more powerful, and it can be used to implement the secret music system.

At the same time, the typical example he wants to set up is Chen Qiyu, it is impossible for him to go to the General Affairs Department, which will give others the illusion that they can go to the General Administration Department after a secret performance.

Such a precedent cannot be set.

So Zhu Youxiao asked, "Are there any other yamen who want to go?" The General Administration Department is definitely not going to work, and the situation there is a bit complicated. ”

Although there was some disappointment in his heart, Chen Qiyu also knew that he had no way to make His Majesty change his mind.

Chen Qiyu said: "Nachen has no other place to go. Everywhere is for His Majesty to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers are willing to listen to His Majesty's arrangements. ”

An embarrassed look flashed on Zhu Youxiao's face, and he knew that he wouldn't ask.

I asked, people said it, and then I didn't do it, which seemed a little embarrassing.

Zhu Youxiao said: "In that case, well, you can go to Shuntian Mansion, and the position of Shuntian Mansion Yin will be reserved for you." ”

This time it startled Chen Qiyu.

How do you say that?

Why did he suddenly become the Yin of Shuntianfu?

This position is Tang Tang's third grade, how can a small county from the fifth grade sit in this position?

This is a step to heaven!

Zhu Youxiao didn't care, this was already a good thing. He continued: "What, is there a problem? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has not been an official for a long time, and it can be said that he has not been in and out of the officialdom for a long time. Shuntianfu, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the first good district, how can a minister be able to lead? ”

"If there is something wrong with the Shuntian Mansion because of the minister's ability, the minister's sin will be great. What's more, the minister is young and has little qualifications, and if he is the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. ”

Chen Qiyu really doesn't want to do this errand, what is Shuntian Mansion?

Although Shuntian Mansion Yin is the third product of the imperial court, the officials of this place are really not done by people, and they would rather be released in comparison. Even if you go to the southwest to Liaodong, it is better than being the governor in Shuntian Mansion.

What's more, he is in the limelight for a while, many people are staring at him, and many people in the DPRK and China are not pleasing to their eyes. In such a situation, if you run to Shuntianfu, you will become their target if you don't do it.

The most important thing is that there is no one in Beijing, and there are no adults in the court to take care of him, and he can't serve the public when he arrives in Shuntianfu, so he may be plotted by others.

This kind of thing really made Chen Qiyu hesitate. He really didn't want to go, so he said these words.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Qiyu and said with a smile: "I think Aiqing is just right." ”

"In this place of Shuntianfu, the nobles and nobles are all over the place, and there are countless three and five products. Throwing a brick from the roof of the restaurant may be able to smash a few three-grade and five-grade products. ”

"Shuncheon Mansion Yin's position. Although she looks like a high and powerful person, she is actually a big daughter-in-law. There are father-in-law and mother-in-law to serve above, uncles and sisters-in-law below, and they have to take care of their father-in-law in the middle, and at the same time take care of the children, which is an angry position. Ordinary people don't do it well. ”

"When many people arrive at the position of Shuntian Mansion Yin, they uphold the attitude of not causing trouble, and they also pursue the practice of harmony. After a few years of peace and stability, he can directly resign from the position of Shuntianfu. ”

"But have they ever thought about how the land of the capital, the district of the first good, can let them be fooled like this?"

"But there are some things I can't do, and there is no suitable person to choose from." After saying this, Zhu Youxiao stood up and walked directly from the dragon chair.

He actually came to Chen Qiyu's side, looked at him with blazing eyes, and then said, "But I think you are suitable." ”

"When you were in Henan, it was just a county order. But you have the guts, you dare to impeach your superiors, you dare to impeach King Fu, and you dare to drag all the officials in Henan into the water. ”

"Do you know how many people let me dispose of you when your manuscript and secret music arrived in the capital? Do you know why I didn't do that? Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Qiyu and asked.

Chen Qiyu was stunned for a moment, but he still hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know." ”

"The ancients called the Yangtze River a river and the Yellow River a river. The water of the Yangtze River is clear, and the water of the Yellow River is turbid; The Yangtze River is flowing, and so is the Yellow River. The ancient proverb: The sage comes out, and the Yellow River is clear. But when did the Yellow River clear?

"In this world, countless officials boast of being clear, but are they really that clear?

"Are you the only one who knows about Henan? No.

"There are countless corrupt officials in this world, are you the only one who knows? No.

"Countless people in the world are annexing land, only you dare to say that, only you know? Not really.

"Some of the officials in this court are honest and self-respecting on the Yangtze River, and some are said to be corrupt like the Yellow River. But is the Yangtze River, and the Yellow River the Yellow River?

"Who knows?

"Who can see clearly?

"That's why we have the General Administration.

"Some people say that the General Administration Department takes advantage of people's private interests, and will make people impeach and denounce Shangguan because of all kinds of private things. They said it was against the sage's carelessness. But I didn't care.

They also said that ministers should not serve the king with the party, and the king should not doubt the ministers with the party; Monarchs and ministers are suspicious, and the beginning of the trouble.

"But if you don't doubt it, don't you?

"I don't believe it. Above this court, which of the same year's teachers and students in the same year is not a friend?

"So there is no shortage of officials in this court, but there is a shortage of courtiers like you, who dare to speak and do things.

"This time, I asked you to be the Yin of Shuncheon Mansion, just to let you get acquainted with the land of Gyeonggi and let you feel it. When you come out of the Shuntian Mansion, you will be familiar with the entire officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

"So do a good job, clean up the Shuntian Mansion for me, and give the people a bright blue sky.

"Didn't someone say before that Bao Gong meditated in Kaifeng Mansion?

"You can start meditating on Shuncheonfu from today." After Zhu Youxiao said this, he gently patted Chen Qiyu on the shoulder, then turned around and walked outside.

While walking outside, Zhu Youxiao said slowly: "I have high hopes for you, don't let me down." ”

Chen Qiyu hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister understands." ”

After Chen Qiyu left the palace, the news spread.

The magistrate of Luoyang, who came from Henan Prefecture, has now been promoted, from the magistrate of the fifth grade to the Shuntian Mansion Yin of the third grade.

All of a sudden, the capital was in an uproar.

Countless people began to criticize Chen Qiyu, and his reputation instantly stinked.

In the eyes of many people, Chen Qiyu is a traitor among officials. Of course, this can't be said, and it needs to be changed from a different angle, such as bewitching the emperor and saying that he is a traitorous minister.

Although it hasn't caused much turmoil yet, some people have already started to make jokes for Chen Qiyu.

Chen Qiyu didn't care, because His Majesty trusted him, so he was still full of enthusiasm in his heart.

At the same time, there was another thing that made Chen Qiyu hesitate, that is, he received several posts.

At the top of the list is Han Yi, a member of the Cabinet First Auxiliary University; In addition to Han Yi, there is also Xu Guangqi, a member of the Cabinet Vice-Auxiliary University.

In addition to these two court bigwigs, Huang Kezhang, the secretary of the Criminal Department and the cabinet scholar, also sent posts.

It can be said that the two factions in the court have begun to win over Chen Qiyu.

The only one who didn't show his intention to win over was Sun Chengzong.

It's not that Sun Chengzong doesn't want to, but Sun Chengzong knows very well in his heart that he and Chen Qiyu are not on the same path at all, and he will definitely go to the side of Huang Kezhang and Han Yi.

So Sun Chengzong didn't make this effort, and it was not interesting to talk about himself.

Chen Qiyu was a little helpless, and when he entered and exited the officialdom of the capital, he fell into a dilemma. If you choose one side and don't choose the other, do you offend the other party?

Do you want to stand in line when you first arrive?

When Chen Qiyu had a headache, Zhu Youxiao also heard about it.

In the West Garden.

Listening to what Chen Hong said to himself, Zhu Youxiao's face suddenly showed an interested expression, and at the same time asked Chen Hong with a smile, "Who did he go to?" ”

"Back to the emperor, no one went." Chen Hong hurriedly said.

"Chen Qiyu Lord Chen, he replied to both parties, saying that he was walking on thin ice when he first arrived in Shuntianfu, and he was afraid of losing his grace, so he didn't have time to meet the two adults."

Listened to Chen Hong's words. Zhu Youxiao immediately laughed, and he smiled heartily.

I didn't expect this Chen Qiyu to be an interesting person.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Let the Internal Affairs Office choose a courtyard in the capital and send it to this Chen Qiyu, just say that I rewarded him, let him settle down in the capital." ”

As the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, Chen Qiyu naturally will not have no place to live.

Because the officials of the Ming Dynasty designed the former public and the latter private, the meaning is also very simple, that is, the front is the office place, and the back is the residence.

So Suncheonfu also has a place to live.

But if Chen Qiyu left Shuntian Mansion, then he would have no place to live.

For the current officials of the Ming Dynasty, it is not an easy thing to be able to settle in the capital.

As the so-called capital is not easy, that's not really to say. In the case of Chen Qiyu, it is estimated that he can't afford to buy a house.

Unless one day he is ruthless and corrupt, otherwise, there is no hope in this life.

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with Chen Qiyu's approach, so he simply rewarded him with a house. First, it is used to reward Chen Qiyu, and secondly, it is also to express its position.

The main thing is to tell everyone that this person is my favorite, and you should not mess around; I'm happy with his attitude of not seeing you, so don't mess around.

This is also a kind of protection for Chen Qiyu.

Although Zhu Youxiao trusts Xu Guangqi and Han Yi, things in officialdom are not just about trusting.

Chen Hong listened to Zhu Youxiao's words, and understood in his heart that this Chen Qiyu was really favored by His Majesty, not only promoted his official position across grades, but also protected him like this, which is really promising.

So this time, Chen Hong was ready to go in person, and he was close to the newly appointed Shuntian Mansion Yin.
