Chapter 7: I have met my father-in-law

Hearing Ye Guhong's words, Emperor Xia couldn't help but glance at Ye Guhong deeply.

Emperor Xia was originally a relatively benevolent emperor, and Ye Guhong had just saved the princess's life.

Although what happened just now made Emperor Xia very angry, he really didn't think about killing Ye Guhong.

He just wanted to beat Ye Guhong.

But unexpectedly, he had just started beating, and the princess actually took the initiative to intercede for this kid.

This made Emperor Xia even more angry.

And when he heard Ye Guhong's words, he just smiled in his heart, feeling that Ye Guhong was too whimsical.

The Daxing Dynasty has five major surnames and seven wang clans, referred to as five surnames and seven wangs.

These seven valves have been inherited for thousands of years, and the background is unfathomable.

Not only did they have innumerable supplies, they had innumerable wealth, and they had tens of thousands of private soldiers.

Most of the officials above the court are also from their gates, and they firmly control the court.

No matter how the dynasty rose and fell, they always stood tall.

It can be said that their power can even overthrow a court.

Emperor Xia didn't believe that this Xia Divine Doctor could really weaken the family.

For thousands of years, the kings of all dynasties and dynasties, which one did not want to weaken the control of the family?

But during this period, no one was able to do it.

Seeing Emperor Xia's face, Ye Guhong smiled slightly, but didn't care.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court can cancel the recommendation system and change it to the imperial examination system. Use the exam to elect officials! ”

"In this way, we will be able to break the family's monopoly on officials and give the children of the poor family a step to the sky!"

Hearing this, Emperor Xia stood up suddenly.

Previously, Daxing and the dynasties before Daxing, the recruitment of officials was all in the Jiupin Zhongzheng system plus the recommendation system.

And the right to recommend is basically controlled by the family, and the children of poor families, no matter how talented they are, have no way to stand out in the real sense.

Therefore, the ruling class can only come from wealthy families.

And the imperial examination system is equivalent to giving the children of the poor a chance to get ahead.

As soon as the imperial examination system comes out, it can quickly tear a hole in the family.

"Good!"

"Doctor Ye, what else can you do? You can go on and on! ”

Ye Guhong said lightly: "The rest is to build the college and promote education." Let the children of the poor be able to go to school. ”

"Moreover, it can give the family a certain weakening in business. And in these respects, grass people can make some goods that I don't have. ”

Emperor Xia glanced at Ye Guhong deeply, and then said, "Okay! Your proposal, I agreed! ”

So quickly, did you say yes?

I haven't come up with a killer weapon yet!

Excited, Ye Guhong couldn't help but say, "Thank you, father-in-law!" ”

"Ahem!"

Emperor Xia choked on Ye Guhong's words and coughed.

"It's not now, you kid don't get complacent too soon!"

Ye Guhong couldn't help asking, "Huh? When is that? ”

"Wait until the plan you offer can be truly used!"

"By the way, what do you want to be? Well, when I think about it, what kind of official can I make the most of you. ”

Hearing Emperor Xia's words, Ye Guhong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the grass people think that it is quite good for the grass people to give advice behind their backs. It's better for the grass people to suppress the family to a certain extent in business! ”

What's so good about being an official? There are endless government affairs to deal with every day.

In the last life, Ye Guhong was lazy, so he didn't want to be an official!

Listening to Ye Guhong's words, Emperor Xia couldn't help but point at Ye Guhong, and said with a smile: "Others sharpened their heads and wanted to be officials, but you abandoned them like a shoe, you are really lazy." ”

"I will allow you to be lazy for a while, so I will first crown you as a man in Wucheng County and reward you with a million dollars! Your official position, wait for my arrangement, when the time comes, don't be so lazy. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the grass people have thanked the Holy Grace!"

Next, Emperor Xia sent a few eunuchs to lead Ye Guhong to his food yi Wucheng.

After Ye Guhong left, Emperor Xia asked Liu Hu beside him, "Liu Banban, what do you think of Ye Guhong?" ”

Liu Hu pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, even if you are an ordinary court official, you are very restrained and frightened in front of the saint. ”

"But this Ye Divine Doctor, in front of the Holy Lord, behaved calmly and well-founded. According to the old slave, this is a person with real skills. ”

Emperor Xia couldn't help nodding and said: "This Ye Guhong is a bit interesting, I hope he can live up to my trust!" ”

Involving this kid in this war, for him, he doesn't know whether it's good or bad.

If he can hold on, he will marry Wanying to him when the time comes, so what?

……

At this time, Ye Guhong sat in the carriage and followed several eunuchs to his restaurant.

Because of his meritorious service in saving the princess, Ye Gucheng was named a baron, with 300 households.

The place of food is called Wucheng, just outside the imperial city.

The titles of the empire are divided into five ranks, which are the princes and sons.

The baron is the lowest of the first rank.

There are only 300 households.

And the food is to divide a region.

The people of this area pay 30% of the taxes paid each year to the imperial court.

The remaining seventy percent will be handed over to the baron.

Three hundred households, one household at this time, there may be more than a dozen or even dozens of people.

A village of 300 households has at least two or three thousand people.

In the future, Ye Guhong can do nothing.

The annual tax paid by the food town alone is enough for him to eat and wear.

What's more, the emperor also rewarded him with millions of dollars.

After a short time, the carriage drove out of the imperial city, walked out of Sanli Road or so, turned inward from the official road, and arrived at the destination.

When Ye Guhong jumped out of the carriage and saw Wucheng Village with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be disappointed.

The whole village is a color of mud walls and grass houses, and the courtyard walls of each house are full of potholes.

There are a few of them, and they don't even have courtyard walls.

Outside the village, several scrawny dogs lay on the ground with bare tails.

When I saw someone coming, I opened my mouth and didn't bother to call.

The group greeted them at the entrance of the village, and the clothes on their bodies were tattered*** The beggar clothes that Ye Guhong had seen were even more beggars.

"Little old man Feng Kuan, add to the village of Wucheng, lead everyone, and see the lord."

Ye Guhong noticed that this Feng Kuan had only half of his arm left.

In the greeting procession, there were also several old people with broken legs and hands.

Ye Guhong couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What are you?" ”

Feng Kuan couldn't help but say: "Sir, we are all veterans who have retired from the battlefield, and we are all disabled on the battlefield back then. ”

I see!

Ye Guhong couldn't help but ask: "You are all disabled veterans, didn't the imperial court give you a pension?" ”

Feng Kuan smiled innocently and said, "Why didn't you give it?" Qin Shuai also helped us with the disabled, all married daughters-in-law and became families. We are all content! ”

"Sir, we have vacated the best house in the village, and I will take you there."
