Early the next morning.

Early in the morning, Tanchun, Xiangyun, Xichun, Xiangling, Qingwen, Xiao Jixiang, Xiaojiaoer and the twelve opera officials, one by one, dressed in peasant cloth clothes, wrapped in cloth handkerchiefs, and carrying small bamboo baskets, set off with Jia Qiang and the two peasant women and two girls on the Zhuangzi.

Before leaving, Jia Qiang still has to be addicted and make fire folds!

In my previous life, I watched a lot of costume dramas, taking out something like a wooden stick from my arms, and blowing it after opening it to ignite it, like a lighter, I felt very magical.

I've seen it in my life, and I used it once at the beginning, but I was in despair at the time, and I was worried about the way out of my livelihood, how could I have the heart to think about what kind of fire folds......

Now that he has this spare time, it just so happened that he heard from the people around him that Zhuangzi was going to prepare fire folds for the winter, so he got up and wanted to see and understand.

When I got up early to eat, I talked about it, and the viewing line was eight laps larger......

Fortunately, the women on the Zhuangzi will lead a group of people to pick up at this time!

"This is brick nitrate, spring salt, autumn nitrate, now is a good time to minerate. So every year at this time, the fire fold is prepared. ”

The Zhuangzi woman has been serving for a few days, and she can be regarded as knowing the temperament of some nobles, and she is no longer as restrained as before.

Jia Qiang took a bristle brush and followed the woman to learn to brush off the ash on the brick wall, and the other sisters laughed and looked for the ash in the same way.

They are looking for the house in the day, and there are ** grandmothers around them to watch at any time, in addition to the needle girl infrared, they also let them love piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The rest tried to touch it, but they couldn't.

People with rules such as Baochai and Yingchun will not even try such activities when they are not restrained by their mothers-in-law when they go out.

Tanchun, Xiangyun and other stubborn and brave people are willing to give it a try.

When the bricks were cleaned up, the woman led the crowd to break the charcoal.

With a copper mortar pestle, mash the lumpy charcoal.

Because there are people in the Zhuangzi prepared in advance, so more than a dozen copper mortar pestles are set up in the courtyard, and the girls take this, learn to pound it with "dong dong dong", the charcoal ash rises, and the white and tender face is stained with a piece of black ash, which causes bursts of laughter.

After the charcoal is carefully coaxed through a sieve, the previous brick nitrate and fine charcoal are stirred evenly, and when they are ready, they are considered the medicine in the fire fold.

The Zhuang woman led the people to carry the dried rattan grass, pick the reed flowers, take the cotton prepared earlier, beat the three things into cotton cakes with a stone hammer, sprinkle rosin, sulfur, camphor and the brick nitrate and charcoal powder prepared before, roll up the cotton cakes, stuff them into the cut bamboo tube, and you are done!

Jia Qiang took the fire fold that was sent, lit the fire fold he made with his own hands, and covered it with a bamboo hat, so that a fire fold was ready.

But after it was done, Jia Qiang didn't have time to pay attention to Xiangling, who was beside him with Xiao Jiao'er and Xiao Jixiang, who bowed three times and bowed nine times to congratulate him on his wise and martial arts, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong......

This nitrate disulfur tricharcoal......

Damn, wouldn't it be Big Ivan with a little more sugar?!

"Come, come, come! Give it all to me! ”

Jia Qiangyuan also wanted these little girls to keep the fire folds they made themselves as a souvenir, and after thinking about it at this time, they quickly wanted to confiscate them all.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and a group of powerful girls protested one after another!

Tanchun stepped forward and approached, holding his small chest open, and said without bowing: "Why?" We're going to keep it for ourselves! ”

Jia Qiang bounced her fingers in front of her smooth forehead, heard her "ouch", and saw that she was annoyed, so she was about to fight back and take revenge, and hurriedly said: "Isn't this what I lack?" My subordinates want to use it, and I'm not very relieved about what others do......"

Hearing him say this, the girls handed it over, even though they knew that most of it was fake.

Xiangling was the first to hand it over, and was pulled and spanked by Tanchun and Xiangyun, but she was not annoyed, but she couldn't stop laughing more and more.

After Jia Qiang cleaned up, she rescued Xiangling and said, "Okay, okay, okay, it's time to go home, don't make trouble!" ”

Although Tanchun and Xiangyun glared at him, they were still a little stunned and said, "I don't know if I can come out again next time......

Both of them are cool and heroic, and they like to be so open, standing on a high place and looking at the world.

Jia Qiang saw that the two of them were crazy and hinted at each other, and scolded with a smile: "Wait for the winter to come back to watch the snow scene and hunt hares!" ”

A group of girls cheered when they heard this, and they returned to the cottage together, changed their clothes, and then drove back to the city together.

……

Imperial City, Nourishing Heart Palace.

Today's court meeting, the golden palace is on the top of the Xuan Ma to worship the prime minister!

In the past 30 years, Han Bin has served as the governor of the poorest Xinjiang Province in Dayan, with outstanding political achievements and a clear view of the world.

Now appointed by the governor of Liangjiang, he is a scholar of Baohe Temple.

Although Jing Chaoyun was also in the middle hall for this, just three days ago, Jing Chaoyun took sick leave and recuperated at home.

begged for bones several times without being able to get it......

In short, today's foreman military aircraft university has been replaced!

And Lin Ruhai, a scholar of Yuanyuan Pavilion University, was worshiped as a scholar of Wenhuadian University and promoted to the second assistant!

There is also a doctor of the imperial history and a scholar of Dongge University, Dou Xian, who worships as a scholar of Wuyingdian University.

Li Han is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Zhang Gu is a scholar of Dongge University.

Zuo Xiang, worship as a scholar of Tirenge University.

In fact, the biggest beneficiary of the appointment of the six scholars is Emperor Long An.

When Jing Chaoyun, Luo Rong, He Zhen and others were in charge of the cabinet, Emperor Long An did not dare to let go of any of the books, and he would bow down in person, lest he let the man be fooled.

But now, the cabinet can first approve the fold and give advice on how to deal with it, which is the so-called "vote draft".

And Emperor Long An only needs to approve the vote, which is the so-called "approval red", and only needs to review whether the treatment methods of the scholars are appropriate, but he no longer needs it, and he has exhausted his own thoughts.

In this way, as long as there are no hard bones, most of the ordinary government affairs can be shared by the cabinet.

Emperor Long An had the opportunity to think about some new policies and some things that he didn't have time to pay attention to in the past......

Jia Qiang was summoned into the palace, and when he came to the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Long An was listening to Han Bin's performance, and what he played was the assessment of the officials of the Ministry of Officials.

Han Bin paused when he first saw Jia Qiang coming in, his brows furrowed, but he heard Emperor Long An say: "It doesn't hurt to let him listen, Aiqing will have to send him in the future, if he doesn't understand many things, he has to poke out the basket." Moreover, there must be such a bold and stunned species, otherwise the princes of the clan, the royal relatives and the nobles, Aiqing will have to work hard. ”

Jia Qiang: "......"

Han Bin heard this, and saw that Jia Qiang did not hide the resentment on his face, so he frowned and reminded: "Jia Qiang, the emperor's grace to you is not an exaggeration to use the word Longen. Previously, Dou Guangde was still advising the emperor, saying that you are a foreign minister after all, and if you are too gracious, it will inevitably make you arrogant, which may not be a good thing. What's the matter, let you run some errands, wronged you? ”

Jia Qiang twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "No, I just didn't think that a kid could afford such a heavy responsibility at his age." "Proper exploitation of child labor!

Emperor Long An snorted, and Han Bin smiled: "Ganluo is the twelve, ancient and modern young heroes abound, there are not many of you, you don't have to be arrogant." ”

Emperor Long An said coldly: "Han Qing doesn't have to pay attention to it, this bastard is used to it!" I only gave him a big responsibility yesterday, and I thought that early this morning, before dawn, he should go to the Yamen of the embroidered clothes guard, and then come to me to receive the order and run an errand. As a result, this bastard actually went to his Taoyuan Zhuangzi outside the city to spend the night! Jia Qiang, you are careful, if you dare to be lazy and do errands, I will let you eat enough peaches! ”

This time Ma Wei hit, Jia Qiang could only lead the order.

Just listen to Han Bin continue to play:

"The minister flipped through the documents of the Ministry of Beijing last night, and he felt ridiculous!"

"On the paperwork, there are many 'great sages and sages, Chuanyue Fengyun, Bingyu Linfeng and the like', it is rare to have a few test words that mention the shortcomings of officials, but they are also very obscure, such as 'imitating incompetence to say long and thick, imitating decay and old age', the ministers don't understand, whether this is praise or depreciation!"

"This can't be done, there is no specific criterion, it is all based on the feelings of the four divisions of the ministry, it is really ridiculous and fallacious!"

Emperor Long An frowned when he heard this: "What Aiqing said is very much in line with my heart. I also thought that Jing Chaoyun's trick was very mysterious. However, how to innovate? ”

Han Bin said: "This drawback has actually been in the minister's heart for a long time, and he has also drafted an excerpt. It's just that the specific details will be carefully examined for some time and carefully corrected. There are a lot of uncertainties, and I have to ask the emperor to show it. ”

Tsk, you can be an official and a person!

In fact, in ancient times, many virtuous ministers had a reputation for being outspoken.

But Jia Qiang's view is that such a reputation is mostly obtained through one or two small things.

For thousands of years, there has only been one like Wei Zheng.

Dou Xian seems to want to learn from others, but the scale feels inaccurate, sometimes he uses too much force, and sometimes he has concerns.

Emperor Long An was satisfied when he heard this, and asked, "Aiqing, let's listen to it roughly." ”

Han Bin said: "The minister thinks that the foundation of the evaluation of officials is to determine the criteria for the assessment, and at the same time, to set a time limit. That is, 'set up a limit of responsibility, take responsibility for people, and be responsible for practical results'. One is the result of official duties, and the other is effectiveness, not those fancy comments. The new method of this assessment is called the 'Examination Method'. ”

Emperor Long An's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said: "How to pass the test, Aiqing can say in detail." ”

Han Bin nodded, and said eloquently: "The minister thinks that the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate should set a time limit for the errands that their officials should do, and record them in the three books.

One book was kept as the base book by the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the other was sent to the six departments, and the last book was submitted to the cabinet.

The six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are registered according to the account books and inspected month by month.

For the work undertaken by the subordinate officials, one must be posted for each completed item, otherwise it must be truthfully declared, otherwise it will be punished as a violation.

The six divisions can also register according to the account books, and require the six departments to report once every six months, and the violators will be dealt with in a limited manner.

Finally, the Cabinet also registered the books of accounts to verify the inspection work of the six sections.

Those who fail to pass the test once will be fined.

Those who fail to pass for the second time will be demoted.

Those who are still unqualified after three times will be dismissed! ”

When Emperor Long An heard this, his face became solemn.

Before he ascended the throne, he had gone through the ministry work.

It is very clear what the virtues of the officials of the six ministries are.

Since Taizu, it is usually once every six years to inspect the Beijing and once every three years.

Even so, every time the official is inspected, the officialdom is full of complaints and complaints.

However, Han Bin changed the shortest three-year inspection to a monthly inspection......

is Emperor Long'an, and he thinks that those officials are afraid that they want to die.

Seeing that Emperor Long An was silently pondering, Han Bin said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the foundation of the new policy lies in the rule of officials. If the rule of officials is not clear, the new policy will never be able to prevail in the world! ”

Emperor Long An was shocked when he heard this, and nodded slowly: "Okay, this matter depends on Aiqing." It's just that if Jingcha is like this, what about the external inspection? It's so far away that it's impossible to check it month after month......"

Han Bin heard this: "The politics of other provinces actually only need to pass two points. One is the grain tax, and the other is the anti-theft! ”

"Thief?"

Emperor Long An was surprised, he understood that grain and silver are the lifeblood of the country, the most important thing, and it is understandable that he is the first official to pass the examination.

Arrestable ......

Han Bin said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers have been in the state capital for a long time, and they know the suffering of the small people, one is poverty, and the other is stability. Now Dayan seems to be peaceful and prosperous, and has not been at war for more than ten years. However, the people everywhere are often oppressed by the wicked and bandits. In fact, as long as there is a peaceful and stable place to stay, even if they are poor, the people can live and work in peace and contentment. But in the eyes of the ministers, there are countless villains and thugs everywhere, and they are used to oppressing the good. If this evil is not removed, the people will not be at peace. ”

Emperor Long An was stunned and sighed: "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, those who have been pro-people officials in prefectures and counties do not know geometry, but they have not taken the people's sufferings to heart. This is a great good! ”

But as soon as he finished saying this, he saw Jia Qiang in the corner wiping his face, obviously looking like he couldn't listen to it, his face turned dark, and he shouted: "Do you have any objections?" Of course you have objections, don't think I know, you are the biggest green-skinned leader in the rivers and lakes of the capital! ”

When Han Bin heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he even turned around and looked at Jia Qiang with a sharp gaze.

Jia Qiang was startled and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't wronged your good courtiers!" Those people in the Jinsha Gang were all after the founding of the country, and they never became traitors, and the ministers had to make some living because they lacked talents to join them. Later, the minister's livelihood became bigger and bigger, and there was more and more shortage of manpower, so he had already pulled all those people ashore, left the rivers and lakes, and became serious people. You know all of this! ”

Emperor Long An snorted and said, "I didn't ask you this, I asked you about the way you looked just now, obviously disagreeing with what Han Qing said. You've always been a genius, tell me about it. ”

Jia Qiang hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers will pick bones in the eggs, just talk about problems, but they can't solve them, if they say it, wouldn't they be arrogant?" ”

Without waiting for Emperor Long An, Han Bin said: "You just have to say, it's good to ask questions, if you can still solve the problem, then what do you want me to do?" ”

Jia Qiang praised: "It is worthy of being a mid-mountain prince, the kid admires ......"

"Less! Say it! ”

How could Han Bin have the heart to hara with him......

Jia Qiang laughed dryly and said, "Han Xiang's two test points were originally good, but the kid felt that there were some things that were not right, such as this thief." Catching bandits and villains and arresting all the green-skinned ruffians is of course a good thing, and it should be done. It should come back every year to make the people safe, which is definitely a blessing. But the kid felt that it would not be appropriate to set a target of how many people would be arrested each year. After all, the bad guys will definitely catch fewer and fewer, in fact, in the first year, a group of people will be arrested, a group will be closed, and a group will be killed, and there will not be many in the second year. However, if the number of criminals arrested is put in the official examination, it will definitely result in a large number of unjust and wrongful convictions. There is also a food tax, and the kid feels even less reliable...... The kid felt that there was also a slight flaw. ”

“……”

Han Bin's face was solemn, and he slowly spit out a word: "Say!" ”

Jia Qiang was not afraid, and continued: "The above payment of grain tax is the test method, and it can be expected that the treasury will definitely have a bumper harvest, or a big bumper harvest!" But Han Xiang, you have to understand one thing, most of this grain tax comes from the people at the bottom, from poor and not rich peasants. And the really rich landlords, the gentry, the rich officials, actually did not pay taxes. The stricter the examination law, the stricter the officials below will only be stricter when they loot the people. So I think it's a little unreliable. ”

When Han Bin heard this, his face was almost darkened......

Emperor Long An glared at Jia Qiang fiercely, and asked, "Then you say, what should I do?" ”

Jia Qiang said innocently: "Your Majesty, Lord Han just said, the ministers need to know what to do, and what else do they want to do......"

Han Bin: "......"

After a pause, he bowed down and pleaded with Emperor Long An: "The minister is not thoughtful, and he needs to go back and make careful corrections, and the minister will retire!" ”

After Emperor Long An hurriedly caressed a few words, making him not anxious, he frowned and looked at Jia Qiang and asked, "How do you know this?" ”

Jia Qiang glanced at Han Bin, who was in deep thought on the side, smiled stupidly, and said, "Your Majesty, who wouldn't be picky?" The ministers have a lot of contacts with the people at the bottom of the market, and the minister's uncle is the people at the bottom. Therefore, I know more about the people's suffering, but in fact, even if the minister does not say it, after this set of methods is implemented, some people will be impeached. ”

Emperor Long An shook his head, and after the implementation, it would be too late to be impeached!

For the sake of Han Bin's prestige and the seriousness of the new law, there is absolutely no possibility of a change in the order of the dynasty.

When the time comes, even if you know that something is wrong, you will definitely force it to continue.

And right now, Han Bin hasn't even made an excerpt, so there is a lot of leeway.

Emperor Long An looked at Jia Qiang and said, "I heard that you didn't want to accept the title at the beginning, and you were willing to study for the imperial examination and become an official?" If you want to get into the job, you don't have a chance to ...... now."

Hearing this, Jia Qiang hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the minister had no intention of accepting the title, and it is true that he is willing to study for the imperial examination, but it is not necessary to be an official. The minister was originally going to be a bookstore owner, and while earning silver, he printed more books and distributed them to the young sons who couldn't afford to study, which could be regarded as doing something good for the court and educating talents for the country......"

Emperor Long An took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Since you want to be a businessman and don't want to contribute to the country, then what do you do in the imperial examination?" Idle? ”

Jia Qiang said truthfully: "Back to the emperor, after going to school, you don't have to pay taxes, you don't have to go out to work, you don't worship the officials, and you won't be bullied when you are idle, you are really poor, and you can still collect land......"

When Emperor Long An heard this, he stared at Jia Qiang with deep eyes, and his heart was beating when he saw it.

And Han Bin on the side, a thunderbolt suddenly crossed his mind, shining brightly in his originally dark mind!

Yes, the forced collection of grain taxes will only make the low-level officials desperately squeeze the ordinary people, but they dare not disturb the gentry and wealthy families!

So, why don't even the gentry and officials pay their taxes and pay taxes in one body, and work as one errand boy?!

……
