Capital.

As the weather cools down, it seems that Kyoshi has taken a big step from autumn to winter.

Zhu Youxiao could only take advantage of noon to go to the lake to bask in the sun, it was impossible in the morning and evening, it was too cold.

His favorite thing is to take advantage of the sun at noon, just take advantage of the sun to catch fish and bask in the sun, and squint his eyes to take a nap when he is sleepy.

Recently, there has been nothing to do all day, and the ministers have reached a consensus very interestingly: what they can solve will not trouble Your Majesty.

So much so that Zhu Youxiao vividly interpreted the boring and decadent life of an emperor.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Zhu Youxiao is also ready to take advantage of this period of calm to take a good rest. After tossing for so long, I have to have a good New Year, and I can't treat myself badly.

"Emperor, the inscription book from Henan has been sent." Chen Hong came to Zhu Youxiao's side and said in a respectful tone.

Zhu Youxiao gently picked his eyelids, but did not open them, and gently raised his hand and said, "Read it." ”

"Yes, Emperor." After Chen Hong agreed, he hurriedly unfolded the question book and read it from the beginning.

In this question book, in fact, there are not too many things written, the main thing is to report the progress of Henan Province, and there is nothing else.

King Fu has already set off and is on his way to Beijing; Chen Qiyu has already entered Beijing.

As for why King Fu set off earlier than Chen Qiyu, but arrived later than him, it is actually very simple, King Fu deceived all the way in the name of the royal family, and couldn't change his nature.

If it weren't for Wang An's repeated urging, I am afraid that King Fu would ask for public funds to eat, drink and travel through thousands of mountains and rivers.

Corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Henan Province are also under interrogation, and the specific sentence will not be determined until after the interrogation.

Listening, Zhu Youxiao frowned.

How should this Chen Qiyu be arranged?

The most suitable place is, of course, Sichuan, let Chen Qiyu go there to be an official and experience the official position of Biansai.

But Zhu Youxiao thought about it and felt that it was not good, Chen Qiyu could not be sent to Sichuan.

Now there is a war going on in Sichuan, and no one wants to go there. Under such circumstances, sending Chen Qiyu over by himself will make people have a trace of conjecture and suspicion.

You must know that Chen Qiyu has made great contributions and is the target of his own propaganda. Because of his secret performance, the court has such a result, so it should be rewarded.

Chen Qiyu is the tablet that he wants to erect, and he wants to show it to people outside. If he is sent directly to Sichuan, won't it make people feel that he has been degraded?

That's not good, it looks like I'm going to have to move a place to him.

Not only must a good position be moved to Chen Qiyu, but this position must be enough to make people envious, jealous and hateful.

Chen Qiyu is now a magistrate. If you put it in the sixth department to be a Lang official, there will be some waste of talent.

So what official position is suitable for Jingshi?

Zhu Youxiao thought of an official position, and this official position was the legendary Shuntian Mansion Yin.

Although some people once joked that the three lives were unfortunate, the county was attached to Guo; Three lives do evil, attached to the provincial city of Guo; The evil is full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng.

But that's just a joke.

Because whether it is in the Ming Dynasty or in later generations, the highest officials of the Jingshi are often high-matched, and the same is true for Shuntianfu Yin.

Otherwise, in a place like the capital, where officials are everywhere and there are many princes like dogs, you can't be an official at all.

Shuntianfu Yin is the chief executive of public security and government affairs in Jingshi, which is equivalent to the current mayor of Beijing.

In the Jingshi, the Yin of the Shuntian Mansion had almost the same authority as the Yamen of the Imperial Historical Observatory, the Infantry Army Commander Yamen, and the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion. Moreover, Suncheonfu is also qualified to undertake complaints from all over the country, which is equivalent to a small criminal department.

In other words, if the official who sat on the seat of Yin in the Shuncheon Mansion was hard enough, he would have the ability to influence, change, or even completely overthrow many yamen through the emperor's resolutions.

With the strength of one position, being able to meddle in the affairs of many central departments at the same time, and it is not considered overstepping its authority, this position can be said to be very, very temperable.

Put Chen Qiyu on and try it, Zhu Youxiao felt that his idea was really good.

And from a sixth-grade county order, directly promoted to the third-grade Shuntianfu Yin, this is no longer as simple as promotion, this is a rocket-like promotion.

It can be said that Chen Qiyu has set an example for countless local officials.

Do you want to climb up?

Hurry up and get something done, send the secret music quickly, and let me see how many corrupt officials there are.

For Zhu Youxiao, there were too many corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, and the atmosphere was already bad and couldn't be worse.

In such a situation, it is too difficult to rectify, so it is better to take this opportunity to take advantage of it and talk about it first.

Fight corruption and promote clean government, arrest corrupt officials and raid homes, and fill the treasury.

After maintaining such a high-pressure posture for a while, the newly appointed officials did not dare to be so unscrupulous. When the time comes, we will introduce the examination method and sort out the atmosphere in the officialdom.

Hit first.

As for how to govern it, it will be said after the fight.

Chen Qiyu is a role model, which can also be said to be a fuse.

Zhu Youxiao doesn't believe that all the officials in the world are in a group, and there are too many people in this world who want to climb up.

There is an addiction to making money, and there is also an addiction to being an official. Seven products today, six products tomorrow; Six products today, five products tomorrow; Today, I am an official of the five grades, and tomorrow I will think about whether I can enter Beijing; The officials who entered Beijing wondered whether they could be released from the outside world, and those who were released from outside thought about whether they could join the Sixth Ministry and enter the cabinet.

Whether it is simply to serve the country or to realize self-worth, the bigger the official does, the more things he can do. What's more, there are people who really want to make the country better.

Zhu Youxiao felt that there would be a lot of excitement in the next period of time.

Waving his hand slightly, Zhu Youxiao said: "Send this question book to the cabinet, let them draw it up." Just let them stare at it, I'm a little tired, and I'm going to go to the queen's side to rest. ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed respectfully.

in the Cabinet.

The four elders are also quite busy.

After all, at the end of the year, a lot of things have to be done. However, there is an extra income this year, so the money is still relatively generous.

This made them somewhat relieved, but it was still tight.

The so-called abundance is the absence of debt.

After being busy for a while, the four of them came to the duty room, sat down and began to drink tea and eat snacks.

This is their lunch, and after a rest, they will be busy in the afternoon.

took out two osmanthus cakes from his arms, Xu Guangqi broke one piece and stuffed it into his mouth, then took a sip of tea and nodded.

Han Yi looked at Xu Guangqi's osmanthus cake, and suddenly felt that the white-flour steamed bun in his hand was not fragrant at all, so he chewed it a few bites and put it aside.

Soon several people had eaten and started drinking tea and chatting.

For a while, the atmosphere in the cabinet was harmonious.

Chatting and chatting, the four of them talked about political affairs again.

The first to start was Xu Guangqi.

His gaze swept over Han Yi and the other three, and said slowly: "The New Year is coming soon, spring will start after the year, and next year will be the year of Dabi, shouldn't we discuss it?" ”

After listening to Xu Guangqi's words, the expressions of the three Han Yi became serious, and the hands holding the teacups slowed down.

The imperial examination in the second year of the Apocalypse, this year is very important for them, they need to re-recruit their own manpower, arrange the imperial examination, to put it bluntly, it is an opportunity to re-recruit disciples.

Everyone has not mentioned this matter, and the reason is very simple, next year's imperial examination is clearly a pit.

The Imperial Academy, which has been in turmoil for so long in the imperial court, is now on the right track, and many people have enrolled this year. In next year's imperial examination, these people will definitely participate, how will they be admitted at that time?

If there are fewer admissions, won't it make people all over the world say that the Royal Academy is useless?

If there are more admissions, what will the scholars of the world think? Do you think there's something greasy in this?

Therefore, the four cabinet veterans have been avoiding talking about it, thinking that it is a pit.

Another point is that Xu Guangqi is now in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and Shen Tingyun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is his person.

There is also a Han Yi who has a foot in it, that Feng Congwu is now in the Royal Academy, and it is the sacrificial wine of the Royal Academy.

It is said that Feng Congwu preached his retro doctrine in the Imperial Academy all day long. Although everyone deliberately avoids it, the fact is there.

So regarding next year's imperial examination, the question of the examiner is very serious.

Sun Chengzong wanted his own people to be the chief examiner, and Han Yi naturally wanted to arrange his own people; And Xu Guangqi naturally won't let them have a chance to intervene, and wants Shen Tingyun's people to do this.

This is a contradictory meeting point, and the only one who doesn't want to intervene may be Huang Kezhang.

Or it's not that Huang Kezhang doesn't want to intervene, but he doesn't have the qualifications to intervene, or maybe it's because he and Han Yi wear a pair of pants, and Han Yi's intervention means that he also intervenes.

No one expected that Xu Guangqi would propose a big year at this time, so there was some hesitation.

"I'm afraid that Your Majesty is in charge of this matter." Sun Chengzong glanced at everyone and was the first to say, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to discuss it in private." After returning to His Majesty, it is not too late to discuss. ”

Hearing Sun Chengzong say this, Han Yi and Huang Kezhang suddenly felt like eating flies.

Originally, it was nothing for everyone to discuss it, but after discussing it, we will go to Your Majesty again, which can be regarded as a preparation in advance. After everyone has reached a distribution of benefits, they will not make trouble to His Majesty.

But now that Sun Chengzong said this, the other people naturally couldn't speak again.

"That's fine." Han Yi stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Then wait for your majesty to report to you, and then I'll discuss it later." ”

As he spoke, Han Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, stood up and walked slowly inside.

As he walked, he said without looking back: "It's almost time, let's get today's things done first." ”

Shousuke had already spoken, and the other three naturally didn't want to sit here and drink tea anymore, so they also stood up and walked over.

West Garden, in the warm pavilion.

Zhu Youxiao was wearing a newly made cotton coat and was also drinking tea and eating snacks.

At the same time, he thought of one thing, that is, about greenhouse planting, and he didn't know how the experiment was going in Huangzhuang, so he had to take a look another day.

Zhu Youxiao had a large number of frosted glass burned out to make glass for greenhouses.

This kind of glass is sold to others to make window glass, and the price is still good; Used to make greenhouses, it seems to be a little wasteful.

But that's not how things look at it.

First of all, the greenhouse can house a lot of people, especially those who don't have land. At the same time, the price of vegetables grown in winter is naturally extremely high, and people are also required to sell vegetables, which pulls out an industrial chain.

Compared with simply selling glass, this industrial chain is extremely important, because it is related to people's livelihood.

What's more, the real price is only known to Zhu Youxiao. It's really not expensive. If you really feel that you are losing money, you can sell the vegetables more expensively and find some people to promote them.

For example, you should eat vegetables in winter, so that you can be healthy; Vegetables are rich in nutrients, and if you eat meat alone, you can easily get sick. Eating vegetables is easy to prevent high blood pressure, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and so on.

It can even be said that eating leeks can aphrodisiac, and a little green leeks in this winter will have passion for sex.

Zhu Youxiao still doesn't believe it, under such a wave of propaganda offensive, this thing can't be sold?

When the time comes, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs enclose land in various places, and use all the public land in various places to detain greenhouses and promote their new crops.

As for the source of the land in various places, what are you afraid of, it is simply how much you want, and you can copy the land after copying it.

You must know that the officials or gentry of this era are very active in fishing for fields, and always feel that the fields are an inheritance from their ancestors, and they can also be passed on to future generations.

Zhu Youxiao is going to tell them that your field is my field, and I will take it back if I want to use it.

Just when Zhu Youxiao was thinking about whether to eat the green cucumber on the hour, Chen Hong suddenly came to Zhu Youxiao, bowed down and said respectfully: "Emperor, the four elders of the cabinet ask to see you." ”

Hearing that Han Yi and a few of them were here, Zhu Youxiao's brows suddenly wrinkled together, and his mood became not so good.

I don't know what happened to Han Yi and the others?

It shouldn't be a good thing, otherwise they wouldn't have come to look for them all in unison.

Zhu Youxiao nodded expressionlessly and said, "Let them come in." ”

No matter what they do, Zhu Youxiao feels that the most suitable thing for him to do recently is to be with the mud.

For Zhu Youxiao, the current situation in the court is what he is willing to see, relatively stable, and it can never be easily broken, so he is the best choice.

Soon the four of Han Yi walked in.

After they saluted Zhu Youxiao, they were all given seats.

After the four of them sat down, Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile: "A few Aiqing came over together, but is there anything you want to tell me?" ”

At this time, Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, spoke.

"Your Majesty, this is about to be the New Year, and spring will begin after the New Year. Next year is the year of Dabi, and the ministers would like to ask Your Majesty to show me about the examination. ”

At this point, Han Yi shut up, and the meaning was obvious: Are we going to continue to do it in the same way as before, or are you going to change it, Your Majesty?

To put it bluntly, they just want to ask Zhu Youxiao, what are we going to take next year? If you still follow the original test, I'm afraid some will not work.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Han Yi and the four of them lightly, and instantly understood that these four people had disagreements again.

Not only do they want to mix up their own ideas about governance, but they also probably want to get a little more manpower.

Sure enough, where there are people, there is a struggle, and it has only stopped for a few days?

Zhu Youxiao actually had a plan for the exam, and he didn't think about it and said directly: "This matter is actually quite simple, whether there is a suitable examiner." ”

"I wonder who Your Majesty thinks is suitable?" Han Yi asked respectfully.

In fact, after hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, the four of them instantly had a bad premonition, and their backs were like needles stabbing in their backs, and they were restless.

"I think Feng Congwu is okay, don't you just add him the title of a waiter of the Ministry of Rites and let him be the chief examiner?" Zhu Youxiao had a smile on his face, but his tone was unquestionable, and there was no room for negotiation.
