This time, Ding Yuying really misunderstood Zhu Cihong, because Zhu Cihong didn't expect two sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers to manage a county at all!

Parents in a county, the marquis of a hundred miles, has never been an easy errand to do. In later generations, those who do this errand are basically uncles and aunts who have been in politics for many years...... This may not be able to do well, let alone two children?

No matter how smart Ding Yuying is, it is impossible to manage a county in an orderly manner, so it is certain that she will not do a good job, and it will definitely be cheating if she does a good job! So no matter how bad Ding Yuying does, Zhu Cihong will not bury her in a big way. On the contrary, if she really manages a county well, Emperor Zhu will send someone to investigate and see if anyone is manipulating her behind her back?

Zhu Cihong asked Zhu Hexing and Ding Yuying to govern a county, in fact, he hoped that they would mess things up by themselves. Only in this way, the two of them know the difficulties of local governance, and at the same time understand how the grassroots of the Ming Dynasty operated.

After they messed up a county, Zhu Cihong would let the two of them go to a mansion a few years later...... In the future, they will be asked to manage a feudal town.

In between going down to the scourge area, Ding Yuying still has to complete her studies and begin to participate in the management of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, which allows her to understand how the industry and commerce of Daming work. And Zhu Hexing will join the army after completing his studies in the martial arts hall and become familiar with all aspects of the Ming army.

Only by accumulating enough experience in locality, industry, commerce, and the military can the two couples grow into a generation of Ming monarchs...... Therefore, it was very natural for Emperor Chongzhen to blindly command back then, he was just a 16-year-old boy who didn't understand anything and only read a few sage books, how could he be a Ming Jun? It is very normal for Daming to be governed worse and worse by him.

Yiling Prefecture, the Great Tomorrow Palace.

The crown prince Zhu Hexing, who had not seen his father for a few days, finally met Emperor Zhu with Ding Yuying in a nervous mood.

The reason for my anxiety is, of course, that I failed the French test again...... If he's not the prince, it's time to hit the board!

"Good luck, Yuying, sit down...... I have good news for you! Zhu Cihong smiled, looked in a good mood, and didn't mention that Zhu Hexing was at the bottom of the French exam, and greeted him and Ding Yuying very warmly to sit down.

Zhu Hexing was still a little weak-hearted and didn't dare to speak, but glanced at his wife Ding Yuying. Ding Yuying asked with a smile: "Father, is there any good news for my daughter-in-law?" ”

"Of course!" Zhu Cihong smiled, "Your man is going to be an official!" ”

The prince as an official?

This sounds fresh!

"What kind of official is he going to be?" Ding Yuying then asked.

"When you are a fellow acquaintance of Shizhu County, use a pseudonym," Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "After a while, you will be the eight-rank official of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Eight Rank Officer? Zhu He Xingxin said: It is still very rare to have such a small official, and I have never seen it so big...... I don't know if it's difficult?

"Father," Ding Yuying smiled, "The daughter-in-law is worried that her husband will not be able to be this official!" ”

Is it good to be an eighth-grade official? Zhu Hexing was a little unhappy when he heard this, and interjected: "Father, don't listen to her, how difficult is it for an eighth-rank official?" Erchen is the crown prince, how can he not be good? ”

Ding Yuying glanced at her confident husband, and felt so bitter in her heart!

Are you the one who is the official? It's me who is doing it! If it's not good, you'll die!

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "Of course, Tongzhi is easy to do, and everything is carried by a genuine county order...... I have already sent Ma Wanchun to be the county magistrate of Shizhu, you follow him to study hard for two months, and then I will send you to another place to be the county magistrate. ”

Ma Wanchun is the younger brother of Ma Wannian, the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, and has been serving as a county commander under the Zunyi Mansion (Xichuan Military Administration), and the stone pillar is still his hometown - he is the grandson of Qin Liangyu, and the stone pillar is the hereditary territory of his family, but after the Ma family evacuated the stone pillar, the local area has been completely transformed by the Dashun court, and the foundation of the Ma family no longer exists, so it is impossible to restore the stone pillar Xuanwei Division, so Ma Wanchun went to the stone pillar as a liuguan to take office.

However, the Ma family did not lose money in this turmoil, although they lost the stone pillar, they got the land around the sea dragon hoard in Zunyi Mansion - the core territory of the Yang family in Banzhou in the past, and now it has become the territory of the Shizhu Ma family. Compared with the stone pillars, the sea dragon hoard, which is located on the traffic arteries of Sichuan and Guizhou provinces, is much better.

"Erchen knows," Zhu Hexing patted his chest, "Erchen must be with that horse, Ma Wanchun to learn to be a county magistrate!" ”

As long as you don't learn French!

Zhu Cihong glanced at Ding Yuying again, and Ding Yuying also nodded: "Father, daughter-in-law must also urge His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to learn to be a county magistrate!" ”

Zhu Hexing was a little unhappy when he heard this, he was a prince, how could he let the princess supervise? He frowned, and just wanted to speak, but Emperor Zhu spoke first: "Yuying, you not only have to supervise the prince, but also learn with the prince!" ”

Zhu and Xing are stupid, is this the prince as an official or the princess as an official?

Emperor Zhu glanced at his son and said with a smile: "Good luck, it's not easy to be an official, and it's even more difficult to be a marquis of a hundred miles." And your temperament is too rough, not as careful as Yuying, so I asked Yuying to study with you, and then the two of you will go to manage a county together...... Remember, husband and wife are of the same heart, and their profits are broken! ”

This is a tact, but Zhu Hexing can still understand the meaning! Emperor Zhu said: "You stupid boy has a stupid brain, you can't learn to be a county magistrate." That's why I let your daughter-in-law study with you, and after you learn well, you will go to be an intern county magistrate together! ”

"What my father said is very true, the sons must learn with Yuying."

Of course, Prince Zhu didn't dare to talk back to his father......

Zhu Cihong waved his hand, "Good luck, you go back first...... You failed the French test again this time, hurry up and go back to memorizing words! I still have something to say to Yuying. ”

As soon as he heard the French test and memorized words, Zhu Hexing really ran faster than a rabbit, and after a salute, he rushed out of the lobby of the palace.

Emperor Zhu looked at his son's back, sighed softly, and then said to his daughter-in-law Ding Yuying: "Yuying, I'm really sorry for you!" ”

"Where did the father come from, the daughter-in-law is not afraid of hardship......"

Zhu Cihong smiled: "If you have to suffer hardship, you will become a master!" The prince's talent is limited, and he can only rely on you to help him in the future. However, although you are smart and smart, after all, you are young and shallow, and it is not easy to deal with the affairs of a county. But don't be afraid, just let it go, if you don't do it well, I won't punish you...... I just want you and the crown prince to know that it is not easy to be a politician, and it is even more difficult to be an official of a local parent! ”

This is a gold medal for avoiding death!

Ding Yuying sighed and said to Emperor Zhu: "My father's hard work, my daughter-in-law knows about it, and I will definitely assist the prince well and be a good official of a county as much as possible." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "But don't worry too much...... You are still pregnant with a child in your belly, you should rest or rest, it is not good to move the fetus. And the parents in this county can't do it well just by hard work. ”

Ding Yuying nodded: "My daughter-in-law knows." ”

Zhu Cihong said again: "Actually, I haven't been a Baili Hou, and I don't have anything to teach you, just say some big truths, first of all, you have to do a good job in the official examination, and with competent people below, things in the county can be done well." However, for these officials who have passed the examination, they must be lenient and severe, and they must be treated with grace and authority.

This is followed by land distribution and next year's spring ploughing...... The people live on food, this is the top priority! The right (ownership) of the bottom of the field must be disposed of vaguely, and the field (right to use) must be divided equally first. The division of fields must be completed before spring ploughing, and the sown area should be increased as much as possible.

The third is to check the household registration, and the households must be checked as much as possible, and only after the investigation can the township be established and completely controlled. Only by mastering the population can there be a reasonable showdown and conscription.

The fourth is to establish a militia and bravery, you and the prince are going to the territory that has just been recovered, and it will not be very stable. Although I will send guards to follow, it is still up to the local volunteers to maintain the place.

If you and the prince do these four things well, their performance should not be too bad! ”
