From the perspective of character, Jiang Tian must be higher than many literati in this era, especially the concept of equality that has been ingrained in his thoughts, which is much better than some "well-educated Confucians" who shout that there is no class but divide people into three, six, nine and so on, but unlike the love of the Mo family, he can still distinguish between friends and enemies.

So many people don't know what kind of road Master Jiang is, and it is difficult to predict what he will do next, which makes many people who want to catch his pigtails a little unable to keep up with the rhythm. Although because the Manchu Qing Dynasty failed to sit firmly, there are no anecdotes about the old Zhu family in the history books, and there are no various wild histories of Shen Wansan, which makes Lord Jiang's behavior of attracting investment very eye-catching.

Just as some are gearing up for new opportunities. Jiang Tian naturally wrote to Emperor Zhang, explaining in detail his investment plan, as well as the corresponding capital preparation, and attached the post-planning, urban functional area design, capital and talent introduction plan, as well as what kind of supporting systems and facilities are needed to achieve these, just like the common project outlook report of major companies in later generations.

Of course, so much content is not something that can be depicted in a book, so Lord Jiang took out the ability to make various plans in his previous life, and used the students of the Naval Research Institute to make a PPT-like picture album, which can be called illustrated and detailed.

From the table of contents to the various analysis charts, it was not something that the traditional literati could grasp, and the level of detail of the entire plan was not what they could have imagined before. But if you write according to this standard...... That's literally killing them!

After a round of group discussion, because there is too much content, many people have not yet figured out the core things, at most they have seen a rough idea, and it is clear in the preface that this set of plans is to build a stable Northern Expedition base, and it is not good to contradict this goal alone. Therefore, seeing that no one had any substantive objections, Zhang Tao directly replied: In Tianjin, if the policy is not unconstitutional, the Qing can make his own decision!

As an aside, because no one has ever seen this kind of twist and turn, in the end, it can only be copied and copied by his classmates, that is, those who are politically strong, under the command of the prince, and the result is that the value of the students in the Guozi Prison has skyrocketed, and many feudal officials want to inquire if they want to enter the scene as a master. After all, in addition to the children of the nobility, there are many ordinary students who can't pass the Jinshi exam.

However, Mr. Jiang is still one step faster than them, after getting the approval, he took the lead in setting up a secretariat, and issued a recruitment notice to the society, as long as he has the fame of showing talent, he can participate in the training and the final assessment of the post, and in order to mobilize social enthusiasm, Jiang Tian also publicized the general content of the entire plan, anyone can put forward their own opinions, after the publicity period, then no one can talk nonsense, give me the implementation of the plan.

Although it was just posted to let people know, this move still caused a sensation, isn't the Donglin Party of the former Ming Dynasty just a group of keyboard warriors who can only talk about table tennis on paper as the main force? was bitten by some smart people in a rhythm, and they were really allowed to govern, but they brought the country to a catastrophe, so Jiang Tian gave them this opportunity now, but he wanted to see what tricks they could perform.

Anyway, the construction goal of the city will not change, they can only talk about the specific means of implementation, and the reception of these people is the original county yamen of all kinds of eight or nine sesame officials, these people are at least from a good background, in the identity of the Xiucai head, and there are also some common language, will definitely be related to their own interests of the feedback, but in fact, within the framework of Jiang Tian's future governance, this group of people needs to be rebuilt.

It's also a shame that this is in North China after the war, if it is placed in the nest of Donglin in the south of the Yangtze River, the scholars who come to brush the existence every day will not squeeze the door of the yamen. In this way, Jiang Tian also kept an eye on it, and the publicity period was only one month, and he also let the group of beggars called Huazi become volunteer propagandists, singing the arranged lotus flowers and walking the streets and alleys every day, clearly asking for food, in fact, to publicize the various benefits of reform.

Zhao Zhi was not idle, and talked about the most primitive cross talk in the canal wharf generation, because he was afraid that this art form would not be accepted, he did not dare to say the content of the official announcement as soon as he came up, so he could only intersperse some reform content after the customer base was relatively mature and recognized. However, the audience's response was quite hot, so much so that it later formed a concentration of performing arts on the same level as Beijing Tianqiao. In the cross talk world, there is a saying that Beijing has become famous in Tianjin.

After a multi-pronged approach, it is known that by the time the public announcement date was closed, the opposition voices in society had not formed a unified force, and even those who raised sporadic objections were mostly spontaneously grasping at a certain point that they thought was important, and the summary was that the Confucian landlord class had been abolished too many privileges, and the merchants and craftsmen had been promoted too highly.

Fortunately, Zhang Tao had issued many decrees abolishing privileges, and the original landlord class in North China was purged by two rounds of military disasters, and the few surviving small and medium-sized landlords and scholars, as well as the young scholars who had just wanted to incite the main force of trouble, found that most of the talents and children who were supposed to be on their side were attracted by the recruitment notices posted in the yamen.

In this era, most of the scholars in this era are not from wealthy families. Although it is not abject poverty, after all, in the true sense of the word, poor families cannot afford the education of a full-time worker, but most of them are living in poverty. In particular, the dynasty has also stopped distributing the already small amount of rice, and the top priority for those talents is to find a decent job to make a living. Now Jiang Tian told them that as long as they have meritorious fame, they can participate in the civil servant assault training class, and if they pass the exam, they can not only get positions such as scribes, but also may be promoted all the way to become officials. If you really can't do it, you can still be a gentleman in the government school and get a share of the money and food guaranteed by drought and flood.

Maybe this notice was not heeded at all before, and it was possible that it was scolded as insulting. But now that the country's scientific examination has changed its regulations, the talents of the former Ming Dynasty do not have the slightest confidence that they can be admitted to the new people. In other words, the gang of people who originally made their fortune on eight shares had no upward channel at all, and at this time, Jiang Tian opened another door to power for them, and this temptation was a bit big.

So even if some people want to make small moves, they find that the people who originally scolded the New Deal because they had no hope of being promoted, and those poor talents who dared to be pawns in order to brush up their sense of existence, began to flicker one by one, talking about him left and right, and secretly inquired about what this training class was, so that there were not even a few people who shouted and cheered, and in the end, they just stopped talking.

Under the deliberate propaganda of various roadside societies, both rich and poor realized that participating in this training course may be able to master the know-how of the new dynasty's scientific examination, which is much more important than being a small official, so that some large families are also temporarily dormant to see if there is still an opportunity to obtain rights through legal channels.

Jiang Tian can be said to have grasped a key point, that is, the reason why these literati want to fight against you is not because of any righteous and awe-inspiring reason, but because you are blocking their interests. It was like this when he scolded Zhang Taowu for interfering in politics at the beginning, and later when he scolded Zhang Tao for land reform, when he reformed the imperial examination, and when he punished @ corrupt officials. The most hateful thing is that they say that businessmen are oblivious to profit and forget their righteousness, and they are corrupt and derelict in their duties, and even betray the country to seek glory, but they say that they follow the teachings of the saints to shepherd the people on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

What if you guaranteed their interests? Then even if you are a scumbag, they can tout you as a saint. In the three generations of Kang Yongqian of the Qing Dynasty, only Yongzheng was scolded, not because he promoted the apportionment of land into mu and shook the fundamental interests of these people. As for the fact that if there was no Yongzheng's reform, there would be no Qianlong's cultural and martial arts, so they never mentioned it. As for Kangxi, who likes to open an Enke special civil servant when he has nothing to do, he is simply a saint in the world in their eyes.

It is precisely because of understanding these people that Jiang Tian also has the means to divide and disintegrate them, and abandons Zhang Tao's method of killing mountains and blood. Aren't most of the troublemakers a bunch of poor scholars at the bottom? Then win over this group of people. What do they most want? Jiang Tian thought back to the stupid and stupid talent in his previous life.

Younger people definitely want to become officials, because they always feel that they are talented and do not need to be instructed. The elderly still want to become officials, because they are eager to earn some private money for the rest of their lives. Since their thoughts were the same, Jiang Tian couldn't help but show a lewd smile, it was easy to do it if there was desire.

What the reader wants most, of course, is the title of the gold list, for the sake of high-ranking officials. But the new scientific examination model is equivalent to turning away these people, so if they have the opportunity to understand the scope and difficulty of the questions, and even be able to get a grassroots civil servant, what will they think? If someone else opened this training class, they would definitely hesitate, but the person who opened the class was Jiang Tian, which was very tempting, even if it was not to be a small official, but just to be familiar with the routines for the future imperial examination, this training class must be attended.

Lin Yi is one of these people, he was originally born in a well-off family. Since he was a child, he studied the Four Books and Five Classics with his father, who has a reputation for showing talent, and was admitted to Tongsheng at the age of 12, which is also a kind of hope for his father who has repeatedly failed, but the reality is cruel, and he was not admitted to Xiucai until he was 24 years old.

His father gradually became disappointed from his hopes, maybe the Lin family really didn't have the seedlings to study, but fortunately, the ancestors of the Lin family also had been officials, leaving a piece of land for future generations, and there were still dozens of acres left in the hands of Old Man Lin, and the annual rent was barely enough for him to cultivate and read the heirloom. But with the arrival of the Xiaoice River, the harvest is not as good as the year, and small landowners like them also have to cut back on food, and Lin Yi always fantasized that if he could win the gold list one day, he could change this tight day.

During this period, first of all, the parents could not survive the war and died, and the family's belongings were also looted, and even the newborn son died in the chaos, and he and his wife took the only remaining eldest daughter to look at the devastated family and cry without tears.

At this moment, Zhang Tao led the troops to pass by Tianjin Wei, he still remembers the army like a flower child, if no one points it out, it is impossible to distinguish who is an officer and who is a soldier, it is such an army, originally wanted to enter the city to repair but was rejected by the commander at that time, the surrounding villages did not have time to run into the county people, are worried that this group of officers and soldiers will rob the village and kill the good and meritorious, but something unexpected happened.

After this group of officers and soldiers were stationed in the village, not only did they not rob the people of their money and food, but they bought and sold fairly, and they also helped carry water and repair houses when they had nothing to do.

Lin Yi, as a disciple of Confucianism, does not believe in Yue Fei's descent to this kind of thing, but he is no longer a nerd who reads to death, and knows that every time there is trouble, there will be heroes, but heroes may also be short of breath, think about how Yue Fei died in the first place, the greater the credit of this army, the more people are hated, so when Zhang Tao played the banner of recruitment, although he was very moved, he did not have the same resolute and decisive effect as the Liu family.

I can't help but say that he committed a common mistake among literati, that is, he looks down on this group of Qiu Ba who only know how to kill, but he also has a high-sounding reason, what family still has a wife and daughter to take care of, and the land left by his ancestors is still there, after all, the task of inheriting the family is also very important...... and so on, he was not allowed to think too much, Zhang Tao was just a hurried passer-by here.

Just after Zhang Tao experienced the ups and downs of his life and was finally demoted, Lin Yi's hometown was due to serious population loss, and many tenants had already died and fled.

The rest of the matter doesn't need to be guessed, but fortunately, he, the landlord, is already poor and has nothing to rob, and the target of the army is those big people in the city, and he looks indifferently at those high-ranking people who are hoarse and begging for mercy. Every time the dynasties change, this has become an inevitable drama, and he even has a hint of pleasure, and is glad that he failed to get fame at the beginning, but Zhang Tao appeared again at this time.

Because they had fought guerrilla here, and there was also a certain mass base, the group that rescued the prince and the princess temporarily settled here, looking at the villagers who were staring at them, the future Emperor Zhang only said one sentence: "Run!" Run to the south, run as far as you can, preferably across the Yangtze River! ”

Lin Yi didn't hesitate this time, but he didn't run south, but ran to the southwest, he felt that Beijing was gone, so the army would definitely go south to fight Nanjing, even if it crossed the Yangtze River, it would still be a place of war, if it was the southwest direction, it would have been looted by the army a long time ago, and there should be no heavy guards.

From the perspective of the result, Lin Yi paid a high price for his cleverness, his wife died in the chaos, and the only remaining daughter was also sold to traffickers by himself, just such an original white-faced scholar, after fleeing all the way, when he returned to his hometown again last year, no one could recognize him, and his unkempt appearance was no longer enough to describe his miserable appearance.

Jiang Weiqing, one of the surviving scribes in the yamen, was originally his classmate, but when he saw the one standing in front of him, his hair was covered with dirt and hard scabs like broken felt, his rough and gray face was full of wrinkles like knives and axes, and his ragged clothes were not only the same color as his own hair, but also full of large and small holes, revealing the same gray and dirty skin, and as for the shoes on his feet, there were no shoes at all.

It was this dignified Lin Yi who carefully took out a small cloth bag, which contained a damaged title deed, which was his last hope and the only driving force that supported him to live, but fortunately, this classmate still had a little friendship with him, first pulled him away and washed him clean, changed into a patched but at least neat clothes, and finally asked him to pour a bowl of hot noodle soup, and then talked about his family's land.

His family's land, because the location is not bad, was first allocated to the meritorious banner man by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but was beaten away during the Northern Expedition, and then the Ming court was crowned with meritorious ministers, and this borderless land was rewarded to others, and then Emperor Zhang changed the dynasty, this land changed hands again, was confiscated and made the imperial village, and now it has just been given to the tenant......

Lin Yi listened silently, the light in his eyes gradually faded, in fact, he was mentally prepared to be beaten out of the yamen when he took out the title deed, and now it is just a little hope that he just ignited is shattered, Lin Yi thought that people can't always fight with fate, he was wrong again and again, this is what is today's situation, if the land is in someone's hands, he still has a little determination to fight a lawsuit, but now it is a royal manor, how can he fight? Thinking of his deceased wife and daughter who was sold by himself, he no longer had the courage to live.

Jiang Weiqing paid close attention to Lin Yi's expression, and then said as if nothing was happening: "But it's not that there is no turnaround!" ”

This sentence brought Lin Yi, who was already wandering into the world, back to life, but he was no longer the impassioned little boy who always felt that he had never met his talents, not to mention that he could be pampered and not surprised, at least he knew that there was no free lunch in the world, so he raised his eyes and looked at the other party, and also asked gently: "What...... Turn? ”

Jiang Weiqing saw his expression in his eyes, and then seemed to sigh at the impermanence of the world, and said slowly: "Brother Tai also knows, junior brother, I also tried and failed many times back then, and finally accepted my fate, after the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, I no longer want to get ahead, it just so happens that there is a shortage of people everywhere in the yamen, so I am willing to come here to be a small official, but thinking of those deceased classmates, I am already very content......"

Although Lin Yi wanted to know what other way he could get his land back, he could only listen patiently now.
