After the Double Ninth Festival, the north and south of the Ming Dynasty are also in full swing for the autumn harvest. The entire Ming Dynasty was immersed in the joy of the autumn harvest. In this year's autumn harvest, the officials of the officialdom of the Ming Empire were particularly happy.

After all, these officials are all landlords. Even if they were poor before, as long as they were successful, a large number of villagers would donate their land, and then the poor scholars would become landlords. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, as long as you win the move, you will definitely be able to make a fortune. There have always been only poor talents, and there are never poor people and poor scholars. Unless, you pretend to be a high man and do not accept land contributions from your neighbors.

The family has hundreds or thousands of acres of fertile land, and when the autumn harvest comes, it is naturally the time for the money and grain to be accounted for. Therefore, the whole Ming Dynasty is full of the joy of the autumn harvest.

What's more, Liu Jin has fallen this year, and no one has blackmailed these civil officials......

A few years ago, when Liu Jin was in power, he relied on the control of key departments such as the Ministry of Officials to force the civil officials who returned to Beijing to report on their work to bribe him, otherwise, he would be given a bad evaluation, or even assigned to the border areas as officials. Coupled with Liu Jin's "rice penalty case", in those years, there were many officials who were bankrupt by Liu Jin. Therefore, after the fall of Liu Jin this year, the civilian-official clique was simply overjoyed. In the future, the money they make will not have to be "honored" to Liu Jin, but can be put into their own pockets......

By the way, because of Marin's interference, Liu Jin was not cut by a thousand knives like the original history. Similarly, the officials of Liu Jin's party are not as miserable as they were in the original history.

For example, Liu Jin's former strongest horse boy, Zhang Cai, did not die in prison as in the original history. However, because of Zhang Cai's disgraceful experience of taking refuge in Liu Jin, he naturally had no future. Although he saved his life, he was demoted to a concubine and never used again......

In fact, Zhang Cai is really not a big traitor. This guy is a little lustful at most, for example, he always covets other people's beautiful concubines. Of course, in ancient times, concubines could also be given to each other. Su Dongpo even gave his pregnant concubine to others, and as a result, many people claimed to be Su Dongpo's son afterwards......

Liu Jin is not too strong in his ability, and his cultural level is not too high. However, he will employ people. For example, his own cultural level is not high, but he brought the song back to the mansion and discussed with his sister-in-law Sun Cong and Huating Zhang Wenmian (equivalent to the master) and others how to deal with it. Then, let the university scholar Jiao Fang polish it, and then transfer it to Li Dongyang for review.

And Zhang Cai is the most senior capable person that Liu Jin has wooed. The most famous "rice penalty example" in Liu Jin's reform law is Zhang Cai's idea.

In addition, Zhang Cai is not greedy, except for being lustful, he is actually not too greedy for money, and he also persuaded Liu Jin not to accept bribes. Therefore, Zhang Cai is a more contradictory person. But it is undeniable that this person is a very capable person.

On the day Zhang Cai left the capital, it was very desolate, only an old servant who had been following him from his hometown, driving a broken carriage that was about to fall apart, carrying Zhang Cai's family out of the capital.

Because he is a sinner, Zhang Cai does not have the treatment of a retired official, and all the privileges he enjoyed in the past are gone. Even, most of the family's land property was confiscated, leaving only 20 acres of ancestral land that was not confiscated. It can be imagined how embarrassing Zhang Cai's life will be in the future.

Ma Lin admired Zhang Cai's talent, so he deliberately traveled out of the city, and on the way, he met Zhang Cai, who was returning home in despair.

Although only a few months have passed, Zhang Cai has degenerated from a high-spirited official secretary more than a month ago to a bad old man who only promises.

Seeing Ma Lin, Zhang Cai, who had been demoted to a commoner, could only get out of the car and salute......

Ma Lin looked at Zhang Cai for a long time and asked:

"Lord Zhang, would you like to go to Dongfan Island as an official?"

"For an official?" Zhang Cai's eyes suddenly burst into light.

However, he hesitated:

"However, he is already a sinner, and if the lord of the horse country accepts Zhang, I am afraid that he will get into trouble."

"That's not a problem, as long as you are willing to be loyal to me, I can give you 500 acres of fertile land on Dongfan Island, and a thousand taels a year. In addition, your children and grandchildren, as long as they are not too bad, can also be gracious! ”

Zhang Cai was suddenly moved......

He now has almost nothing, not only has he been relegated to the rank of commoner, but even his two sons have no hope of a future. Even, now there are Wenchen in the DPRK and China discussing whether to exile Zhang Cai's family to Qiongzhou.

Follow Marin to mix, at least you can be rich, and you can also be an official. Once a man gets his hands on it, he can quit it more than drugs. Many later generations of leaders were high-spirited when they were in power, and once they retired, they aged quickly. Mainly, the power is in hand, the spirit is high, and the spirit is naturally refreshed. And after losing power, it is like an addict who can't take drugs, uncomfortable and abnormal, and then he ages rapidly.

Zhang Cai once served as the official secretary of the Ming Empire, and he was about to enter the cabinet half a step, how could he be willing to be a commoner? Moreover, within the Ming Dynasty, it is unlikely that Zhang Cai will be an official again, because the issuance of the holy decree made it clear that Zhang Cai would "never be used", which was equivalent to cutting off his career.

But to be honest, Zhang Cai is 56 years old and doesn't care much about his career. What worries him most now is the future of his two sons. Because he helped Liu Jin deal with the Qingliu minister in the past, and now that Qingliu is in power, Zhang Cai's son must have a hopeless future. Even if you are talented, you will be suppressed. There are even people who discuss exiling Zhang Cai's family to Lingnan.

Therefore, for Zhang Cai, being able to grace his descendants as officials is what he values the most......

Thinking of this, Zhang Cai did not hesitate to look at Ma Lin and said:

"Thanks to the lord of the country, Zhang is willing to serve the dogs and horses. It's just that the court ......"

"You can find an inn nearby to live in, and wait for my news!" After saying that, Marin threw a small bag of silver to Zhang Cai, which was enough for him to live in the store for many days.

……

The reason why Ma Lin wants to win over Zhang Cai is because Zhang Cai's ability is indeed very strong; Also, Marin is not worried about Containe's ability......

Kong Tai is a translator trained by Ma Lin himself, and was appointed by Ma Lin as the Minister of State of Dongfan Island. However, after investigating during this time, Marin found that Kong Tai only had diplomatic talents and average governance ability. Even, because he admired Chinese civilization too much, his behavior was a little closer to the pedantic Confucianism. Moreover, Kong Tai is still very young and has little experience.

Therefore, seeing that Zhang Cai, a very talented person, was no longer wanted, Ma Lin suddenly had the idea of picking up the leaks......

You must know that a talented person like Zhang Cai who is very capable but no one wants can not be met at any time.

……

But how to take Zhang Cai away without offending the Ming Dynasty? Marin kept thinking on the way back......

After returning to the city, Marin thought about it for another night before he came up with a countermeasure......

The next day, Marin came to the Jinwuwei school field to try his luck to see if he could meet Zhengde, but he didn't; Didn't meet on the third day; It wasn't until the fourth day that Marin saw Zhengde, who came to practice knightly horse warfare with the "Second General Humm......

Taking advantage of Zhengde's happiness, Ma Lin suddenly asked Zhengde to take Zhang Cai to Dongfan Island......

"What do you want Zhang Cai to do? He was a sinner. ”

"But he is also a talent, I heard that Liu Jin's 'penalty rice case' was made by him."

Zhengde nodded and said:

"Yes, I know he has talent. However, now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are hostile to the people of Lao Liu's party. Even if Zhang Cai is talented, I can't use him. If you dare to use Zhang Cai, you will probably attract the hatred of the ministers. ”

Marin rolled his eyes and said:

"Your Majesty, I heard that the courtiers are discussing whether to exile Zhang Cai's family?"

"That's true, but they can't find evidence that Zhang Cai is evil, so they can only stop it. Moreover, Zhang Cai also refused to admit his guilt. I actually wanted to keep him, but the ministers were angry, and I couldn't keep him. ”

|“ Or, you will send a message and degrade Zhang Cai's family to Dongfan Island? ”

Zhengde was stunned for a moment:

"Like...... That's a way to do it......"
