Chapter 150: There's no need to be in the limelight

Three days later, Hu Xingshan and Paul set off with the 50,000 taels of silver invested by Miaoyu.

Under the strong recommendation of the two of them, Wang San also went with him.

Jia Rui also understood what the two meant.

Because Wang San is his own cronie, having Wang San will make Jia Rui feel more at ease with them.

In fact, they are overthinking this.

Not to mention Paul, going to Europe, as well as Jia Yun and Hu Xingshan, the crew are all from Middle-earth, even if Paul has any different intentions, it is enough to restrain him.

Jia Rui has been sending the three of them to the Tonghui River Wharf.

"Uncle Rui, don't worry, I am familiar with the route to Europe, this time I will do it according to your requirements, and I am guaranteed to make a lot of money."

Paul swore by it.

"Paul, I'm not going this time. When you come back this time, I may go to Europe with you next time. When that time comes, I can go and meet your king. ”

"If nothing else, I may be able to speak to your king and ask him to knight you. I think a baron, it's still not a big problem. ”

Really?

Paul's heart was filled with a bang. However, he is the grandson of the Duke here, that is, Jinshi, maybe he can really do it?

Even if you don't have a knighthood, you can make a certain amount of money, far more than ten taels of silver a month.

"Thank you, Mistress Rui."

"Tianxiang, don't worry, this trip, I will definitely bring a Hu woman back."

Hu Xingshan, you are a second goods, this is ideal?

"I don't care if you bring a Western woman back or not, the key is to make money, and you learn something there."

"Tianxiang rest assured, I know the severity."

Wang San came over.

"Master, after I leave, you can find a long-term entourage to take care of you. Now that they are all Jinshi, how can they not even have an entourage. ”

"Okay, I'll find another person. You be careful along the way. ”

"Don't worry, master, I won't embarrass you."

"Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, you can go, have a good journey."

The ship faded away and finally disappeared.

Jarry knew it was an adventure, but now that the situation was tight, he couldn't take it slowly. We must seek leapfrog development and grow stronger as soon as possible in order to protect ourselves in troubled times.

For the sake of this goal, it is worth taking a risk.

Returning from the docks, Jia Rui went to the camp of the homeless camp.

Guo Laocai is already here with him.

After Wang San left, Guo Laocai took Wang San's place.

The affairs of the steamed bun workshop are basically in charge of Guo Laocai now.

"Master Rui, these are these three people, I have told them all the wages, I have known them before, and they are all serious people who know the roots."

"One of these two was left in the workshop, and the other was sent to the old lady. This Chen Kui followed the master. ”

"I changed my clothes and everything, and I gave him this month's salary. Horses were also bought. ”

"How much did it cost? I'll give it to you. ”

"Even the horses were bought for him? How much did it cost? I'll give it to you. ”

"Miss Miaoyu gave the money, and the master didn't have to give it. Miss Miaoyu said that the master is now a jinshi, and he can't be too shabby. The score that should be placed still has to be placed. ”

Jia Rui couldn't help but be happy, and when he heard this, this was Miaoyu's words.

"Okay, you take the two of them back, Chen Kui and come with me."

In the following days, Jia Rui put all his energy into the provincial villa.

The project progressed basically smoothly, and some minor problems were solved by Lin Zhixiao and Zhang Hua.

Originally, the problem of relatives and friends who had been worried about the delivery of goods to the project did not encounter major trouble.

Of course, there will inevitably be some people who will be tempted.

This problem is actually easy to solve, Jia Rui adopted the method of bidding, so that most of the people who want to take advantage of it will automatically withdraw.

Of course, there are also some people who are willing to accept the tender to participate, and there are indeed people who win the bid, so they use their goods.

Because the procedure, price, and quality are all public, and there is no one who wins the bid, and there is nothing to say.

On the ninth day of April in the ninth year of Shenglong, the trial of Ding Chouke Hall was held in the Taihe Hall of Daming Palace.

When he entered the palace, inspected, temporarily taught etiquette, and then the emperor ascended to the palace to meet the tributes, a set of procedures tossed down, and two hours have passed.

When the answer sheet was starting, the examination room was on the square outside the Taihe Palace, which was an open-air examination room.

Soon after the exam began, it started to rain, and it was impossible to answer the test in the open air, so the examination room was set up in the east and west corridors.

The palace examination was personally written by Emperor Shenglong, and there was only one current policy on the topic, with a length of more than 2,000 words, and the paper was handed in before sunset.

This year's topic is closely related to the current situation, that is, how to quell the rebellion of the displaced people.

After thinking about it for a while, Jia Rui began to make an outline.

The dangers of displacement are mentioned at the beginning.

The harm starts from two aspects, one is the actual harm, such as the loss of taxation and forced labor, disrupting the order of the world, stealing, looting, killing, coercing others, killing officials, consuming manpower, material resources, and financial resources to expropriate and suppress, so that the people can not work and live with peace of mind, and so on.

The harm in history is serious and can lead to the change of dynasties.

Such as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang of Qin, and the Yellow Turban of Han. Tang Zhihuangchao and so on, a random column is a bunch of examples.

Then the reasons for the emergence of displaced people are analyzed.

This problem is actually very simple, to put it bluntly, the government forces the people to rebel, the people have to rebel, land annexation, excessive taxation and forced labor, natural disasters and so on.

But how to say it, there are some sayings in it.

Of course, there is a certain amount of freedom of speech in answering questions, but it is also necessary to take into account the feelings and acceptance of the emperor and the marking officer.

Jia Rui's answer principle is that the emperor is good, and the ministers of the court and the central government are also good. It's just that the grassroots officials and local tyrants and gentry below are bad.

This is naturally against the will, the people are displaced everywhere, where can the emperor and the ministers get out of the relationship?

But there is no need for Jia Rui to be stupid on this issue and offend the emperor and ministers.

It's just an exam, and no matter how correct your views are, it may not make the emperor and ministers change their ways.

The last part is to come up with a solution.

It's easy to say, it's nothing more than two words.

Suppression means suppression by force.

Fu, it's more complicated, this is where the real effort should be made, and it is also something that the court and officials are unwilling to do.

Because if you want to be appeased, it costs money.

If they were willing to spend money, why did they desperately scavenge money from the displaced people in the first place?

To a large extent, they are the cause of the displaced people, and now let them return the looted money, who would be willing?

They also know that the fundamental solution to the problem of displacement is to appease the displaced people, eliminate the causes of the displaced people, and they also know that they need money.

But they all want others to take the money, not pay for it themselves.

The lower levels hope that the upper level will pay money, the upper level will hope that the court will pay money, the yamen of various ministries hope that the emperor will pay money, and the emperor will hope that the household department will pay money.

The end result is that the more displaced people are exterminated, the more people are displaced.

Of course, the answer sheet can't be written so straightforwardly, but it still needs to be written if you need money. As for where the money comes from, this is not a matter of concern to Jia Rui. This matter should be taken care of by the emperor and the ministers.

He doesn't want to be ranked first or second, so there's no need to be in the limelight.

Write a stable and decent article, and just mix the name of the jinshi into your hands.
