Chapter 90: Unless I'm Dead
The disturbances in the capital naturally can't affect Liaodong, Zhu Houzhao is in charge here, no one dares to directly oppose it, even if someone secretly pokes and pokes the twists and turns, Zhu Houzhao doesn't care. During this time, Zhu Houzhao paid the most attention to the promotion of the examination method, which was a very important matter, and he was not worried about the military reform, because Wang Shouren was experienced.
The same is true for the arsenal and the steel mill, but Quang Ninh City is more lively during this time, because there is an influx of people every day.
Some came to work, some came to join the army, and every day people were pulling people everywhere, and when they went up, they asked: Have you ever heard of the steel mill? Or else: Have you ever heard of the Black Dragon Army? For a time, the strong men of the entire Liaodong became a sought-after commodity, and the influx of a large amount of money made the entire Guangning City lively, of course, the problem of public security is no problem.
After all, Guangning is a military town, and with His Royal Highness Zhu Houzhao here, the security of the entire Guangning City is very good.
Everything is going on steadily, the implementation of the examination law is Zhu Houzhao personally staring, Zhu Houzhao did not expect that a test method can make the Ming Dynasty officials grow up quickly, the problem of lazy government and slack government is a problem in later generations, and prevarication is the norm, but there is one thing that the Ming Dynasty has and the later generations do not.
In later generations, lazy government is more to the bottom, to the people, but to the top, that is not daring, once the above explains the matter, the speed of handling is still very fast.
But if you can't do it in the Ming Dynasty, the officials of the Ming Dynasty will dare to be lazy for you, even if the emperor's decree is passed down below, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be well implemented in the end, how can this be? The purpose of the test is one, that is, to explain the things that will be done, you must do it well for me, if you can't do it, then you don't do it, this is what Zhu Houzhao wants.
In the past, there was no such system in the Ming officialdom, but you can imagine how serious the people in the officialdom are, and they all take money and don't work.
Lingering in the Fengyue place all day long, or chanting poetry and writing, it is really not doing anything serious, this kind of atmosphere must be stopped, if you don't work, then you don't want to be this official, this is the original intention of the test. Zhang Juzheng's purpose in formulating the examination law is also this, and the effect is very good, Zhang Juzheng's punishment is also very strict, and all officials who are deposed will never be used.
In the years when Zhang Juzheng presided over the reform, the Ming Dynasty dismissed more than 30% of the officials, all because of the examination law.
These people will never be used, how can they be willing? How many people are involved in these deposed officials, and how powerful will it be for these people to hold together, Zhang Juzheng can be suppressed when he is alive, but Zhang Juzheng is dead, how can he be suppressed? Who's going to hold it down? The counter-reformers counterattacked, and Emperor Wanli was also fooled.
It is estimated that he reacted when he was old, and he came up with mining taxes and the like, but the result was not good, and he was sprayed for a lifetime.
Zhu Houzhao will not scruple about this, he has time to grind, unless he dies halfway, if he does not die, then this system will become the norm. As for dying halfway, that's the will of God, after I die, who cares about the flood, then how about love! But as long as you live, then you have to do it.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Houzhao naturally attaches great importance to the examination method, and basically goes to the governor's yamen every day to keep an eye on it.
The whole Liaodong wind was in full swing, and for a while, the atmosphere of people being superficial changed drastically, and officials were busy handling various things every day, resulting in an exponential increase in efficiency. Of course, there are still some people who don't think so, these people were deposed by Zhu Houzhao without hesitation, and they took the same way as Zhang Juzheng, and added four words after the deposition, that is, they will never be used.
Riding on a horse, breathing in a little cool air, Zhu Houzhao smiled, autumn, it is the harvest season, and it has been three months since he came to Liaodong in a blink of an eye.
In the past three months, Zhu Houzhao felt the deepest thing is to spend money like flowing water, followed by the changes in Guangning City, at this time Guangning City really has the appearance of a big city, very prosperous, and even outside Guangning City, there is an outer city, distributed along the city gate, basically all of them are buying and selling shops, Zhu Houzhao naturally will not allow them to build illegally.
So a new commercial street was planned, and it was okay to buy land and build shops, and pay money, although the income was not much, but it was also a lot.
Zhu Houzhao didn't ask for this money, he directly gave it to the governor of Liaodong, and at the same time, it can be regarded as opening a source of wealth for the governor's yamen, that is, this is all the land of the imperial court, and building a house on the land of the imperial court, it will be more expensive if you spend money to buy land and build shops. Zhu Houzhao believes that he doesn't even need to push it, and this policy will prevail in Daming.
When they promote the integrated payment of grain by the officials and gentry, and the local yamen have no taxes, they will definitely put their hands on this.
This is a disguised business tax, of course, this road is still far away, there is still a long way to go, Zhu Houzhao is not in a hurry, take your time, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
"Your Highness, it's here." Liu Jin saw that Zhu Houzhao was still riding a horse and walked forward, quickly pulled the horse, and then raised his head and said to Zhu Houzhao.
Glancing at Liu Jin, who was leading the horse for himself, Zhu Houzhao was stunned one by one, looked up, and sure enough, it had arrived, turned over and got off the horse, and looked at the people who came to greet him, Zhu Houzhao walked over with a smile: "Okay, let's be exempt!" Looking at Qian Fan standing beside him, Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth and asked, "Are you ready?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, everything is ready." Qian Fan hurriedly replied: "You can light three stoves today, and the next few stoves will all be lit in the next half a month." ”
Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "It's so good, hard work, Liu Jin, write it down, give wine and meat today, and double this month's salary." ”
Qian Fan also smiled when he heard this, which meant that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very satisfied with his work, which was better than any reward. Qian Fan hurriedly led the way in front: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please come here." As he spoke, he turned around and led the way.
As soon as the group walked out not far away, the news of Zhu Houzhao's reward spread, followed by huge cheers, and Zhu Houzhao also smiled.
Today is the day of the opening of the Liaodong Steelmaking Plant, and the steelmaking has officially begun. The appearance of the crown prince was a great encouragement for them, and the hard work of more than three months was recognized by the prince, which was very important to these people.
"Go ahead!" Zhu Hou looked at the blast furnace in the distance, and said to Qian Fan beside him with a smile: "Let this palace see the steel you refine." ”
