Yunxi spent several days in Suzhou City, leaving countless legends for future generations, and also enriching the tour guides' guide words a lot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Until September 12th, the seventh day of Yun Xi's arrival in Suzhou Mansion, this day accompanied the evening Yun Xi to go on, and said to Yun Zhi: "The famous scenery in Suzhou City has been seen, tomorrow as a brother, I will not go out for a walk, if you still want to go out, I will tell Cao Xing to prepare guards for you." "Cao Xing is the deputy commander of the guard this time. Since the war eight years ago, Yun Xi has great trust in Cao Xing, and this time he specially transferred Cao Xing, who was eating idle meals in the Houjun Governor's Mansion, as the deputy commander of the guard.

"Looking for Cao Xing? I don't think he's been in a good mood since he traveled, and although things are very neat and respectful when he sees us, I can see that he's not in a good mood. Yun Zhi said.

Of course, Yunxi knew why he was in a bad mood. Although Cao Xing is missing an arm, if he is a small soldier, he can only retire from the army, but as a general, he is still a high-quality general, and he can still continue to be a general. Although Cao Xing is disabled, he is disabled and wants to continue to work for Daming. His identity is enough, and he has made great contributions, even if he goes out to command the capital, he is also enough; But Yunxi insisted on leaving him in the capital.

Yun Xi thought about it, the twisted melon is not sweet, Cao Xing is like this now, what is the use of staying in the capital? Then he instructed Huang Ludao: "You go and tell Cao Xing that after the New Year, I will send him to the border pass as a general, and give him the rank of hussar general, at least a general soldier." ”

Then he turned his head to Yun Zhi and said, "If you go to him again, his mood will be fine." ”

Yun Zhi probably understood what was going on, but she didn't say much, and said after hearing this: "In this case, tomorrow's sister wants to see the market in Suzhou Mansion, and I heard the palace maid from Suzhou Mansion in the palace say that the market in Suzhou City is very lively, and it is still above the market in the capital." ”

"But the bazaar is not as famous as a scenic spot, and if you go there with great fanfare, you will not have to see it. So my sister wants the royal brother to allow my sister to go to the bazaar. ”

"This," Yun Xi hesitated. The princess went out of the palace in a micro-suit, and let the civil officials know that she didn't work hard to play a set? He is also irrefutable.

However, Yun Xike has always wanted to practice equality between men and women, so it is unequal?

Yun Xi pondered for a while and asked, "Do you have a female official who knows martial arts by your side?" ”

Yun Zhi heard Yun Xi's words and was obviously about to agree, and said happily: "Yes! ”

"Then, the royal brother will allow you to visit the market in micro-clothes. However, you can't leave people around you at all times, and there are people who know a little Wu language among the guards who travel with Cao Xing. Yun Xi said.

"My sister remembers!" Yun Zhi said.

"Also, Xianqin and Baoqing are too young to follow you out." Yun Xi thought about it and said again. Besides, if it is just Yunzhi visiting the market alone, people may not think of the princess, but if it is a half-grown girl with two little girls, it is too eye-catching, and the possibility of being associated with the princess is greatly increased.

"So, what about letting the two of them go out to the market alone?" Yun Zhi wanted to fight for them again.

"No! Baoqing and Xianqin are only six years old, what happens to the child's heart in case he does? Never! Yun Xi said.

Seeing this, Yun Zhi stopped fighting for them, and walked towards the palace prepared for them, thinking about how to talk to the two of them about it.

Yun Xi stopped caring after giving the order and returned to the bedroom. He took a shower, changed his clothes, and went to the study.

Huang Lu said to him: "Your Majesty, the local Jinyi Guard is here. ”

Yun Xi nodded and said, "Let him in." ”

Not long after, a sturdy man about thirty years old walked in, and immediately knelt down after seeing Yun Xi and said: "Feng Xianzhang, the minister of Jinyi Wei Qianhu and the director of Suzhou Jinyi Wei, has seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!" ”

It is said that although Jinyiwei has evolved into a secret service agency, the establishment belongs to the upper twelve guards. Since it is a guard station, then there is a fixed number of officers at all levels, although because of the large number of identity of the guards, there are 10,000 households, 500 households, but there are also many Jinyi guards, so the official position is very sought-after, and the chief of the general department stationed in a province is only an official position of 100 households. At this time, the title system with Chinese characteristics can work, and the directors of Jinyi Wei in various places will be promoted. This Feng Xianzhang is the title of Qianhu.

After Yun Xi finished answering him, he didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "I ask you, how is the Suzhou prefect Xiang Bao?" ”

"Your Majesty, Xiang is a gentleman to the prefect, and he is very concerned about the education of Suzhou Mansion, and he once personally went to the mansion to give lectures to the students. In addition, Suzhou has not been in arrears of money and grain over the years. Feng Xianzhang said.

These two sentences are of course a compliment to Xiang Bao. But after Feng Xianzhang said these two sentences, he didn't have anything else, and Yun Xi immediately understood what he meant: Xiang Bao was nothing but education and money and food.

"What did he do with the punishment?" Yoon-hee asked.

"Your Majesty, it's all to shirk to the master." Feng Xianzhang said.

'It's only the early years of the Ming Dynasty, and there is already a profession of master? Yoon-hee felt bad.

If you want to talk about the master, it is not without all the dynasties before the Ming Dynasty, but it is all the big officials who will hire the master as a think tank; However, because of Zhu Yuanzhang's large-scale reduction in the number of officials, the number of local officials was very small, and unless the palm seal officials in various places were workaholics like Zhu Yuanzhang and Hai Rui, they had to pay their own money to hire their masters to work for them. So much so that in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when the number of officials was sufficient, there were still many officials who would hire masters.

Yun Xi reformed in the capital before, and one of the purposes was also to make the work of the palm seal officer less, and the provincial employment was not within the establishment of the master.

Yun Xi hurriedly asked, "How many masters did Xiang Bao hire?" Other officials in Suzhou Prefecture, whether they are adjutants in subordinate counties or in the prefecture, can they hire masters? ”

"Your Majesty, I hired a master from the prefect to help him deal with criminal names, public security, money and food. The other officials in Suzhou Mansion did not hire a master. Feng Xianzhang said.

At the same time, he secretly said in his heart: 'How many masters can Xiang Bao hire?' With the salary of a fourth-grade official, he still has to bear the life of a family, and it is already very difficult to hire a master. The county seal officials of Suzhou Prefecture could not afford to hire a master at all; Fu Tongzhi knows that there is no need to hire a master. ’

Yun Xi's heart slowed down slightly. It can be seen that hiring a master at this time is only a special case. But it is also necessary to pay attention, and it will be difficult to stop it when the trend of hiring a master rises.

It seems that it is urgent to promote the reform of the government system in Fuzhou and county, and it must be implemented as soon as possible. Yun Xi thought.

Since Xiang Bao is such an official, there is no need to care. Find an excuse to appoint him as the chief official of a certain Qingshui Yamen in the capital, and send him away.

But what if he doesn't? He has a history of resignation as a political envoy. If that's the case, appoint him as the deputy capital of the imperial history, he should be willing, generally such ministers are willing to be the imperial history. Yun Xi thought.

After that, Yun Xi asked again: "How is Fu Tong knowing Zuo Guibao?" ”

"Your Majesty, Zuo Tongzhi has been here since he arrived, and he has rarely done anything. I don't know. Feng Xianzhang said.

Sure enough, just as I guessed, the official who was in the vegetarian position of the corpse would find an excuse to get rid of him in a few days. Yun Xi thought.

"What about the two counties attached to Guo County in Suzhou Prefecture?" Yun Xi asked again.

Feng Xianzhang paused and said: "Bai Wenxuan, the magistrate of Wu County, has a very good reputation and is a good person, but he is not very willing to mess with the criminal name; The reputation of Mu Tianyan in Changzhou County is also good, although it is not as good as Baizhi County, but it is also deeply supported by the people. ”

Well? Bai Wenxuan is just that, this county called Mu Tianyan has a good reputation in the county? It's weird. It stands to reason that with his name, he should be a person who likes to pat fart very much?

Maybe it's because the prefect Xiang Bao is upright and doesn't eat sycophants, and other officials are not worthy of his sycophants, so he behaves seriously. Yun Xi thought.

Since Yun Xi has a fixed impression of Mu Tianyan, he will not change it casually.

He asked Feng Xianzhang a few more things about these officials, and finally asked: "Which merchant has the most industry in this Suzhou Mansion?" ”

"Your Majesty, the biggest businessman in Suzhou Mansion who is doing many industries and trading is of course the Li family in the west of the city." Feng Xianzhang said.

"How is this Li family's industry?" Yoon-hee asked.

Listening to Yun Xi's question, Feng Xianzhang felt uneasy. As the head of the Jinyi Guard of Suzhou Mansion, although his identity is not public now, people with a little power know what he does. Because of Jinyiwei's great prestige, although Jinyiwei changed his job functions under Yunxi's order and no longer directly interfered in things, everyone was still very afraid of Jinyiwei. Not to mention that he added the rank of a thousand households, and he was the fifth grade, second only to the prefect and the three guard commanders in Suzhou Mansion.

Therefore, the big local families will give him a little filial piety, especially the merchants. As the largest merchant in Suzhou, the Li family may not be afraid of him as the head of Jinyiwei in a place, but more things are better than less things, and the three major festivals (New Year, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival) will give him filial piety every year, and there is also a gift for other festivals.

If His Majesty wants to get rid of this Li family, if it involves him collecting money, it will be over.

But when the Son of Heaven asked, he didn't dare not answer, and he didn't dare to lie.

"Your Majesty, Li Jiaming has thousands of acres of fertile land on the surface, and the trade of raw silk and silk, but the private business is more than that."

"The Li family also has 500 acres of thin fields in Suzhou Mansion in the name of others, and only grows mulberry trees to feed silkworms; In partnership with others, it accounts for more than half of the raw silk and silk shops in Shanghai City, and is sold overseas; In addition, they also deal in tea. ”

"Your Majesty should also know that I have the famous Dongting tea (Biluochun) in Suzhou. Although the tea fields are owned by the Taihu Shang family, another merchant specializing in tea in Suzhou, the Li family has a lot of power in the city, and they demand that the tea in the city must be sold by their family. The Shang family's power is not as strong as the Li family, so they can only admit it. Feng Xianzhang said.
