Ning Xiu has his own views on employing people, and he has a very in-depth analysis of Zhang Juzheng's test method, so he is very handy in making policy theories.

This is clearly a topic born for Ning Xiu.

Soon he had finished his strategy and read it through again, and he was in a good mood.

Ning Xiu even wondered how Zhang Juzheng himself would feel when he saw this article, and whether it would have some kind of impact on his official reform?

After the strategy test, Ning Xiu left the house as usual and left the Gongyuan with a group of candidates.

The next thing to do is to wait, Ning Xiu will wait with Liu Weining to wait for the township trial list.

Although he couldn't completely relax before the township test was released, Ning Xiu was very satisfied with his performance, so he also got together with three or five friends to eat at Shuangfeng Building, the most famous restaurant in Wuchang Mansion.

Most of them were scholars from Jingzhou Mansion, in addition to the three scholars from Changsha Mansion that Ning Xiu had just befriended.

Coincidentally, a group of Wuchang Mansion scholars led by Liu Wenguang were also in the restaurant. They sat in several private rooms, each accompanied by one or two courtesans, and some even sat on the laps of the scholars, completely oblivious to the influence.

These Wuchang scholars were so drunk that they didn't realize that Ning Xiu and the others were coming.

Ning Xiu snorted coldly and didn't say anything, and asked for two private rooms with the store and went to the third floor.

As soon as everyone entered the private room and took their seats, Xiao Er came over and said with a smile: "What do you princes want to eat?" We have the most famous saltwater chicken in Wuchang Mansion, as well as the only red stewed mutton in the whole lake, to ensure that you are satisfied. ”

Ning Xiu said lightly: "On the dishes you pick up, bring two more pots of wine, and the movements will be sharper." ”

After saying that, Ning Xiu slapped a silver ingot on the table and closed his eyes.

Seeing that Ning Xiu was generous, and talked about extraordinary things, he must be the son of a noble family of which family, and he was very careful.

"Hey, hey, Son, wait a minute, the little one will go and pass the dishes."

Then he took the money and ran away.

After Xiao Er left, Liu Weining rolled his eyes and said: "This Xiao Er is too meritorious, but it's just a piece of silver, look at him." ”

Ning Xiu smiled and said: "You can't say that, people are open to do business, and they will naturally smile when they see the silver." Besides, the ingots were ten taels of silver, which was a lot. ”

Liu Weining smiled awkwardly and said, "That's the same." ”

"Just now I saw Liu Wenguang and the others on the second floor, and I really wanted to go forward and count them. As soon as the township test ended, they were prostitutes for fun, and they were full of ugliness, which was really a shame for our generation of scholars! ”

Cui Fan and the other party were haunted by the situation they had just seen, and said through gritted teeth.

"Yes, the most important thing in being a human being is self-cultivation. They are like this, even if they are in the middle of the lift, they are Sven scum! ”

Qian Zhan echoed.

Zhao Yuan flicked his sleeves and said: "It's really unreasonable for such a person to look down on our Changsha scholars." ”

Ning Xiu frowned secretly, if the good atmosphere was spoiled by Liu Wenguang's rat, it would be too unworthy.

"Haha, today's township test is over, my generation should drink happily, why do you say these unhappy things?"

"What Friend Ning said is that it's really not worth it to be in a bad mood for these people!"

Xiao Er, who spoke, brought up the wine and food, not only the signature dishes that they are best at in Shuangfeng Building, but also the seasonal side dishes and cold dishes, and of course, the two jars of good aged rice wine.

The wine and food had arrived, and Ning Xiu rewarded Xiao Er with some broken silver, and sent him down.

Suitable for the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, a bright moon hangs high outside the window, which makes people feel emotional.

Ning Xiu poured a glass of wine and sighed: "When is the bright moon, ask Qingtian for wine." It is also a fate for our generation to be able to enjoy the moon together, and I only hope that when the autumn season is released, we can all be on the list. ”

Liu Weining nodded and said, "Brother Ning Xian said well, come on, let's drink this cup together!" ”

With that, he raised his glass.

Everyone poured wine and raised their glasses, drinking the wine in the glass.

After a glass of wine, Cui Fan became interested and expressed his feelings on the topic of the strategy test.

"The topic of today's policy discussion is 'employing people', I don't know what your friends think?"

Ning Xiu squinted his eyes slightly, slowly turned the wine glass in his hand, and said in his heart that he was a literati and a, and he always had a heart to guide the turmoil in the country.

However, now that the township test has ended, it is harmless to discuss one or two topics on the township test, as long as you don't cross the line and go too far.

Seeing that everyone didn't mean to say it first, Cui Fanhe slammed the wine glass on the table and said loudly: "In this case, Cui Mou threw bricks and stones." ”

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "Speaking of this question, the first thing that comes to Cui's mind is the test method introduced by Zhang Xiangguo. The purpose of introducing the examination method is to change the official system. Why do you need to change the bureaucracy system? In the final analysis, it is the method of employing people that has gone wrong. In the two hundred years since the establishment of the dynasty, the world style has already become extravagant, and the official style has become extravagant together. Officials only know that they are more rich than rich, but they do not pay much attention to government affairs, and they completely have the mentality of not seeking merit but seeking no fault. In the long run, how can my Ming officialdom not decay? Therefore, in order to cure this disease, it is necessary to carry out drastic reforms, which can never be cured by cutting flesh and mending sores. ”

Cui Fan spoke impassionedly, and everyone agreed.

Ning Xiu smiled and said, "So according to Brother Cui's opinion, is Zhang Xiangguo's test method just right?" ”

Cui Fan raised his head and said with a full temperament: "That's nature." However, according to Cui's opinion, there are still a few flaws, and if they can be corrected, it will be of great benefit to the rectification of the official system. ”

"Brother Cui, you might as well tell me about it."

"One is that the distinction between regions is unclear. My Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, north to Jiubian, south to Liangguang, east from Liaodong, west to Bashu, where there are countless counties in Zongzhou. Coastal states and counties such as Fujian, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Nanzhili naturally have more taxes. And the political secretary of Shaanxi and other people who live deep inside, the people are already poor, so naturally they can't collect too much tax. It would be unfair to formulate the same method for these states and counties. ”

Cui Fanhe swallowed a mouthful of spit and continued: "So I think that the imperial court can only convince people by formulating detailed rules for the examination according to the actual situation of each state and county. ”

Ning Xiu secretly sighed in his heart, this Cui Fan is really not ordinary. To be honest, scholars of this age are full of Confucian articles, and even if they have some considerations about current affairs, they are mostly superficial and echo the words of the powerful. It is not easy for someone like Cui Fanhe to have his own opinions.

He clapped his hands again and again and said, "What Brother Cui said is very true. In Ning's view, this is also the biggest drawback of Zhang Xianggong's entrance examination. ”

Not only was the crowd in an uproar.

In their eyes, Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Xiangguo are gods, and now Ning Xiu and Cui Fanhe are openly questioning this god!

......

......

After all, the Ming Dynasty is a feudal dynasty, and the status of the magnates is unshakable and unquestionable.

The Son of Heaven is the first person of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration for Zhang Juzheng to call it the second person.

Regardless of what everyone thinks of Zhang Juzheng's new policy in private, at least they won't say so.

But Ning Xiu and Cui Fanhe did this, which made all the scholars gasp.

Seeing everyone looking at each other, Ning Xiuzhi felt a little funny.

But this is also human nature, which is understandable.

"Friend Ning, let's talk about it, what are the disadvantages of Zhang Xianggong's test method?"

Cui Fan and hearing that Ning Xiu and him agreed on the same page, immediately asked excitedly.

Ning Xiu cleared his throat and said, "Another major drawback of the test method is that the division of time is not clear enough. For example, the predecessor left a huge deficit, although the current does not need to fill it, but it will inevitably affect the tax revenue. Because the local people have been forced to pay taxes and miscellaneous taxes, where can they afford to pay taxes? ”

Everyone nodded. What Ning Xiu said is very reasonable, there is a huge deficit in the treasury and county treasury, which shows that the local officials are in a mess. Under these circumstances, it is obviously unrealistic to expect that the successor will be able to clean up the mess and put things right in the right place.

"Therefore, in Ning's opinion, the imperial court needs to give these state officials time, and the length of time depends on the amount of deficit."

Cui Fanhe waved his fist excitedly and said: "What Friend Ning said is also what Cui thinks, Friend Ning is really Cui's confidant." ”

Ning Xiu's waterfall sweat, it can't really be so coincidental, right?

He and Cui Fanhe actually have a heart to this point?

"Ahem, that's a coincidence."

"I have written these two articles into the policy, and I hope that Zhang Xiangguo will have the opportunity to see that they will play a role in the revision of the examination law!"

Cui Fanhe continued.

“......”

Ning Xiu really had nothing to say now. He still felt that Cui Fanhe was thoughtful and meticulous, and had a mature temperament that far surpassed his peers, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.

It's one thing to say this, but it's another thing to write it into a policy. Ning Xiu only vaguely mentioned one or two things in the article, and did not explicitly mention the test method.

Rao is Ning Xiu once pointed out Zhang Juzheng to his face, and that is also the premise of pretending not to know him. Cui Fanhe's move not only put himself on the fire to roast, but also asked the chief examiner, deputy chief examiner, and fellow examiner to follow him to sit on wax.

It can be seen that Cui Fanhe is very talented and talented, if he writes a policy normally, even if he is a little modest, it will not affect his nomination. But now that it's really hard to say.

This kind of thing is no longer up to the examiner to decide, and ultimately depends on the examiner's intentions.

If the examiner had some courage, he would let Cui Fan and Zhongju. If the examiner is a coward, I'm afraid that Cui Fan and this person will be hanging.

Hey, this guy is still too young. It would be a shame if the lifter was lost for this reason.

After a while of chatting, they heard a commotion outside, sometimes mixed with the screams of women.

Ning Xiu couldn't help frowning, there were no more women in these two phoenix towers, except for the courtesans who accompanied the wine in the private rooms where the scholars of Wuchang Mansion were located. Then the source of this sound is self-explanatory.

Seeing that Ning Xiu faintly wanted to get up, Liu Weining coughed and said, "Brother Ning Xian, let's leave this matter alone." ”

Ning Xiu was naturally dissatisfied with Liu Weining's attitude. You must not tolerate the wicked, otherwise the other party will only kick your nose and face and ride on your head.

What's more, the current situation is not only the contradiction between the scholars of Wuchang Mansion and Jingzhou Mansion, if there is a life lawsuit, it will require the government to intervene.

With Liu Wenguang's virtue, Ning Xiu was not surprised at all to do things that were drunk and disorderly. If he wasn't there, he wouldn't have been able to turn a blind eye.

"I'll take a look."

With that, he got up and paced out the door.

Cui Fanhe, Qian Zhan, and Zhao Yuan also followed without hesitation.

Liu Wenguang hesitated for a moment, and finally stomped his foot and chased after him.

When everyone came to the second floor, they saw chickens and dogs jumping in a few private rooms by the window, and the courtesans were all disheveled and taken advantage of by the scholars of Wuchang Mansion, and they suddenly felt angry.

Ning Xiu sneered, stepped forward and said sharply: "I can't imagine that a dignified Wuchang Mansion student would do such a thing as a beast." ”

Liu Wenguang was drunk, and he hugged a courtesan, rubbing his hands on his chest, and when he heard Ning Xiu's voice, the alcohol suddenly dissipated a little.

He looked up and saw that it was indeed the opposite of the evil star standing outside the private room, and he was also competitive for a while.

He pushed the beauty beside him away, stood up and walked towards Ning Xiu step by step.

"Surnamed Ning, what are you making noise about? Do you control the heavens and the earth, Lao Tzu drinks and prostitutes? ”

Cui Fanhe, Zhao Yuan, Qian Zhan, and Liu Weining were all stunned.

Liu Wenguang is right, he spends his own money to drink wine and prostitutes, and outsiders really can't seem to speak.

Ning Xiu was not choked by Liu Wenguang's words, he responded coldly: "If it is an ordinary drinking prostitute, Ning will naturally not be able to control it." But is Friend Liu's move too much? ”

Liu Wenguang spewed out two cold air from his nostrils and said, "Overdone? Where did Lao Tzu go overboard? ”

"Dare to ask Liu Wenguang what kind of prostitute is he?"

Before Liu Wenguang could reply, one of the courtesans cried and said: "We are all Qing people from Fang Yuelou, Liu Gongzi said that he would only ask us to accompany the wine and sing songs, who would have thought that after Shuangfeng Tower, Liu Gongzi and they would do something to our sisters." At first, we gritted our teeth and endured it, but Liu Gongzi and they actually proposed to evacuate us in this restaurant, which was unacceptable to the slave family. Please also ask this son to make decisions for us! ”

Ning Xiu was overjoyed in his heart, and his heart was good, Liu Wenguang, you are dying by yourself, and you can't complain about others.

He pressed down with both hands, signaling those courtesans to be calm and calm, and then said sharply to Liu Wenguang: "Friend Liu hasn't answered Ning yet, what kind of prostitutes are you prostitutes?" ”

Liu Wenguang was already drunk, so he naturally had no time to think about it, and immediately replied: "Courtesan, Lao Tzu is a courtesan." Why do you want to come and try it too? Wait for Lao Tzu to play the rest, give it a try for you! ”

Ning Xiu disdained his foul language, and sneered: "In this way, Friend Liu and a group of Wuchang Mansion students know that these are Qing people, but they do something to them, may I ask what do you think of my Da Ming Law?" Even regardless of the law, you are still well-dressed beasts and scum. Since Ning is a scholar, he naturally has the obligation to clean the door for Sage Kong, you say that I can't control this matter! ”
