Chapter 0889 - Voyage Returns
Among the group of children present, Mu Guiying was the oldest and tallest, and she was also equipped with a short sword, so Bao Zheng didn't dare not listen to her threats.
"Don't dare, don't dare ......"
Bao Zheng shook his head quickly.
"That'...... What do you compare to? ”
Bao Zheng asked weakly.
"Swords, guns, swords, halberds!"
"Poetry and songs!"
Yang Zongwei and Liu Yong spoke at the same time.
After finishing speaking, he glared at each other fiercely.
Although they are children, they are far smarter than their peers, and they know that they are naturally better at fighting than themselves.
Liu Yong and others are almost all from scholarly families, and poetry and poetry are naturally what they are best at.
And Yang Zongwei and the three, although they have been taught by famous teachers since childhood, but because Yang Qi doesn't like Confucianism and is even more unwilling to let children become dull people, he didn't urge them to learn much.
Therefore, for Liu Yong and the others, martial arts are what they are best at.
The eight little guys began to discuss with their heads down, and finally decided to compete in four games, two cultural fights, and two martial arts fights.
Not far from them.
The newcomer beside Peng Pai scratched his hair again and asked, "My lord, what a noble person Your Highness is, how did you get mixed with these children of ordinary people?" ”
Peng Pai was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Since you are your own person, then I will confess." The reason why they were able to get together was all arranged by His Majesty. ”
The man frowned and said, "What is the meaning of Your Majesty's move?" ”
Peng Pai had a guess in his heart, but he didn't say it, just shook his head and said, "I don't know either." ”
In fact.
Peng Pai knows far better than anyone.
The family members of Liu Yong, Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun and others were secretly brought to Yanjing by Peng Pai.
Even these little guys can study in a school, which is arranged by Peng Pai behind his back.
Therefore, Peng Pai is very clear about the background of these little guys.
At the beginning, Peng Pai didn't understand the deep meaning.
But after these children began to read and write, Peng Pai understood a little.
These children, without exception, are all people of outstanding talent, and their minds are far beyond ordinary people.
When these children grow up, it will be when Yang Zongwei grows up.
Yang Qi began to pave the way for children more than ten years in advance.
And what shocked Peng Pai the most was not these children, but Yang Qi.
Peng Pai can be sure that Yang Qi had no contact with these children, or even the families of these children, before this.
But as if he had the ability to predict the future, he chose these children among tens of thousands of people.
A coincidence can't explain this at all.
As these children behaved more and more bewitchingly, the more firm Peng Pai became.
Yang Qi can be unpredictable prophets.
This is the biggest secret he has discovered after following Yang Qi for so long.
He never told anyone about it.
Just when Peng Pai was talking to his subordinates.
The competition of eight children at the entrance of the school has begun.
Yang Zongwei, the first to go out was Su Xun.
Liu Yongfang, the first to go out was actually the girl of the Cheng family.
Childhood to bamboo.
Su Xun originally thought that he could easily win, and he could take the opportunity to count the girls of the Cheng family.
But reality slapped him hard.
Faced with the test questions of pairs, the Cheng girl beat Su Xun throughout the whole process.
After the competition, Su Xun's small face turned the color of pig liver.
Although the girl of the Cheng family won, she didn't have any joy at all, she wanted to comfort Su Xun several times, but she was dragged back by Liu Yong.
The second formation is likened to poetry.
Yang Zongwei, Mu Guiying, and Di Qing were blind to composing poems.
In the end, Yang Zongwei came out.
Then, there is no doubt that he was beaten by the pervert of Liu Yong.
The third formation, than fists and feet.
Mu Guiying personally went into battle, pointed at the little fat man Yan Shu and Ouyang Xiu, and said with a big grin: "You two, go together!" If you win against me, even if you win. ”
The other eight people were all confused.
Yang Zongwei looked at Di Qing sympathetically.
As if telling Di Qing that you are playing soy sauce.
Di Qing wanted to play, but because he couldn't beat Mu Guiying, he had to give in.
Ouyang Xiu licked the corners of his mouth, looked at Mu Guiying, and said, "The two of us, beat you one, isn't that good?" ”
"Humph! You ......"
Before Mu Guiying's words were finished, Ouyang Xiu pounced on Mu Guiying.
At a young age, he has a very slippery head.
Yan Shu shouted, "You are doing this again, and you are a gentleman." ”
However, he was teaching others, but he followed Ouyang Xiu's example and rushed towards Mu Guiying.
Faced with a surprise attack by two people.
Mu Guiying was stunned for a moment, and then smiled coldly.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
Mu Guiying just turned sideways, got out of the way, raised his foot and kicked twice.
Ouyang Xiu and Yan Shu lay on the ground.
"Convincing or not?"
Mu Guiying asked in a cold voice.
"Not convinced!"
"Not convinced!"
"Papa~"
"I took it, I took it......"
"I'm not convinced!"
Yan Shu took two blows and softened.
Ouyang Xiu had a hard mouth, and then was pressed to the ground by Mu Guiying and spanked hard.
Liu Yong exclaimed: "What are you still doing in a daze, come on!" ”
Then, a fight turned into a group fight.
Di Qing finally had a chance to make a move, and he couldn't wait to rush forward.
Watching the children fight together.
Mu Guiying and Di Qing are like two tigers, beating others.
Peng Pai let out a long sigh, "Go out and persuade." These children are all Jane's in the emperor's heart, and if they hurt any of them, it is difficult for His Majesty to explain when he comes back. ”
So, a group of big men rushed out.
Quickly pulled away the little ones who were fighting.
However, Peng Pai didn't expect that the little guys were fighting and fighting, but they were very righteous.
In the face of the sudden rush out of the adults to stop them, they actually unanimously out.
They all beat up Peng Pai and his party.
In the end, Peng Pai agreed to invite the children to the most expensive candy man shop in Yanjing City to eat sugar man, and he escaped the catastrophe.
After a while.
The little ones gathered in front of the candy man shop, each carrying a sugar man, and talking about it while eating.
They didn't have the resentment of beating each other just now, but because they beat each other, they became a little close.
However, there is an adult who has been beaten, and it seems a little unproductive.
Port City.
Temporary camp.
Yang Qi lived in it with his family.
Cao Lin's fleet has been at sea for five years, and they have sent people to transport countless gold and silver treasures back to Yan Country in batches, and the large army has been continuing to sail at sea.
They seem to really want to prove that they live on a ball, so they stubbornly want to sail around the ocean.
And this voyage is five years.
Ten years ago.
Yang Qi received a report from Wang Yan, who had returned first from the fleet, saying that in half a month, the fleet would officially return to China.
It is said that it is loaded with a lot of seeds, and a large part of them is what Yang Qi wants.
In order to reward them, Yang Qi decided to come here to greet them in person as a sign of favor.
Five years.
The port city has become more prosperous.
It is even more prosperous than Yanjing City.
The city has expanded tenfold on its original basis, and it is still in short supply.
There are many merchants coming and going.
The daily business tax received is in the tens of millions.
Every day, I take a boat and set sail.
Every day someone comes home with a full load.
Gather the wealth of the world and gather the port city, which shows how rich the port city is.
When Yang Qi set off from Yanjing City, he issued a clear decree to the port city.
After Yang Qi arrived, there was an additional palace in the location of the temporary camp.
The financial resources to be spent in this process cannot be said to be 350,000 taels.
Gorgeous palace.
Yang Qi was checking the seeds that Wang Yan had brought back in advance, and Kou Zhun drooped his head and dodged into the hall.
"Kou Zhun, see Your Majesty."
Yang Qi looked back and nodded, "Find a place to sit by yourself." ”
Kou Zhun found a place for himself and sat there quietly.
Yang Qi kept looking at the seeds on the table, and from time to time he picked them up to take a look.
There are a lot of seeds on the table.
But Yang Qi only knew peppers, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, and he really hadn't seen the rest of the seeds.
After looking at it for a long time, Yang Qi decided to ask Kou Zhun for a closer look.
Then he was stunned.
looked back at Kou Zhun.
According to Kou Zhun's temperament, he had already babbled, how could he become surprisingly calm today.
Kou Zhun saw Yang Qi coming over, and hurriedly lowered his head.
Yang Qihu glanced at Kou Zhun suspiciously, frowned, and said, "Raise your head." ”
Kou Zhun reluctantly raised his head.
Yang Qi saw two panda eyes.
Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "My sister bullied you again?" I remember taming her by pretending to be wounded by my sister and causing her to feel guilty for days. What, your lies have been exposed? ”
Kou Zhun shook his head awkwardly and said, "That's not the case...... It's no wonder Yanqi this time, it's me who can't resist the invitation of others and go out to drink flower wine......"
Kou Zhun hadn't finished his words yet.
Yang Qi straightened his face.
As long as it wasn't Yang Yanqi's fault, Yang Qi didn't need to talk softly to Kou Zhun.
"You deserve it! Let my sister who is so flowery at home, go out to drink flower wine by herself, and she has no complaint when she is killed. ”
"Everyone else has a group of wives and concubines, it's fine, the minister just went to drink flower wine......"
"You still want to have a group of wives and concubines?"
Yang Qi exclaimed in surprise and said with a dark face: "Come!" You bring me here, and I will break your bones inch by inch. ”
Kou Zhun was startled, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”
"Humph!"
Yang Qi snorted coldly and said, "I don't dare, if I find out what you have done to be sorry for my sister, I will let people castrate you and give Chen Lin as a companion." ”
Kou Zhun was cold in his crotch, and said in horror: "The minister will never dare." ”
After scaring and scaring Kou Zhun, Yang Qicai asked, "What is the important thing for you to come to see me?" ”
Kou Zhun bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, according to your previous instructions, Chen, Su Yijian, Lu Mengzheng, Xiang Minzhong, Lu Duan and others have completely completed the assessment, promotion, and transfer of all officials in the Yan Kingdom.
At the same time, duplicate functions and powers have been reduced and banned.
After this assessment, the number of officials in Yan State has been reduced from 125,400 to 64,300.
There are currently many vacancies.
After the replenishment, it should be seventy-three thousand eight hundred.
There is a vacancy of nearly 10,000 at the moment.
What the ministers and others mean is that after five years of study, the students cultivated by Datong Academy, Yenching University Hall, Jinling University Hall, Seoul University Hall, and the four university halls can be selected to fill the shortage of officials. ”
When Yang Qi heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "A few of you will agree and come up with a standard." Students who have graduated from the four universities will be further inspected and reviewed.
After passing the assessment, the process cross-appoints each other.
For the time being, they are all allowed to be fake officials.
After making achievements, you will be promoted. ”
"Cross-appointment?"
Kou Zhun was stunned, "Transfer from the south to the north, and transfer from the north to the south?" Your Majesty is worried that officials are acting as officials in their own localities and bending the law for personal gain? ”
Yang Qi sighed and said, "It's not that I'm worried, but it's happened." ”
Yang Qi slowly paced to another table full of folds, took out a fold, and handed it to Kou Zhun.
"Look! When I was in the four northwestern provinces, in order to fill the official vacancies, I once appointed students from Datong Academy as officials. Now Chen Yao has found out that nearly sixty percent of these students who are local officials are accused of bending the law for personal gain.
Among them, the most excessive is the county of Dongsheng Mansion, from the county order to the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, the canonical history, and even the six-room officials are all members of the family.
They took advantage of their power to enslave the people and loot the people's fat and ointment.
Even, in the entire county of Yang, fifty percent of the land belongs to their family.
And the remaining fifty percent are all meritorious fields.
The people even spread rumors that Yangyang County was their family. ”
Kou Zhun's pupils shrank, "Aren't the people having no land to cultivate?" ”
Yang Qi nodded and said, "Yes!" The people had no land to cultivate. ”
"What does Your Majesty plan to do with this group of people?"
Kou Zhun frowned.
Yang Qi said in a deep voice: "The culprit will be executed immediately, and the rest will be sent to Liaodong." ”
Kou Zhun hesitated for a moment and said, "Send Liaodong? Is Your Majesty letting them go and enjoy themselves? ”
Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I forgot, after five years of reclamation, Liaodong has now become another granary of Yan Kingdom. Let them go and be truly blessed.
Then send it to Beiliang and become a serf. ”
Kou Zhun smiled bitterly: "That's no different from sending you to death." ”
The reason why Kou Zhun said this was because the people of the Zhe family were crazy.
With no human restraints above their heads, and Yang Qi's supply of firearms in large quantities, the Zhi family showed their endless desire for land.
Based on Fuzhou, the family went north and west, all the way to the war.
It hasn't stopped until now.
And the place occupied by the Zhe family has far exceeded the Great Yan Kingdom.
It can be seen that the ferocity of the folded family.
In the past, there were still thirty-six countries galloping in the Western Regions.
In today's Western Regions, only the people and horses of the Zhecao family are galloping.
As for the former Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions, they had already been wiped out by the two of them, and there was not even a bomb left.
And the wealth of these thirty-six countries was also sent to Yang Qi by them, exchanged for firearms, and continued to fight and plunder.
The reckless military force is talking about the two of them.
The most important thing is that the two of them have Yang Qi behind their backs, and they are not afraid of the disadvantages of reckless military force at all.
"It's inhuman!"
Yang Qi complained helplessly to his uncle and father-in-law.
