Chapter 41 No middlemen make the difference

Yang Qiangyi read a few more books, and the content in them was an embroidered pillow and a bag of grass. In the opinion of Zhu Youlang, who has experienced university education in later generations, this embroidered flower is not very good, that is, the level of classical Chinese for middle school students.

Yang Qiangyi retreated to the side after reading, and Yang, who had already colluded, came out at this time: "Your Majesty, these people are people who are short-sighted and famous, not only that, but they are also as timid as rats, they are really rats!" ”

"If it's not for the rats, why don't the performers come out of the ranks to meet with the hundred officials? Could it be that this dynasty has the copper evil of the chaotic government after the martial arts? ”

This is very serious, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Zetian was an absolute negative figure in the mainstream public opinion, and Tongkui has become synonymous with allowing whistleblowing and corrupting the atmosphere, and sometimes it is even associated with cool officials. The word copper is the map cannon of the ancients.

Only then did several low-level civil officials have to stand up and bow down and appear to meet everyone.

Zhu Youlang didn't get angry, but asked meaningfully: "What do you think you should do when you are an official in the court?" ”

One of them boldly bowed again: "The Lu of the food king, the matter of loyalty to the king." We should be officials of the court, and we should be self-denying and loyal to the king. ”

"Where do you live now?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister once served as the Yunnan Qing official of the Ministry of Households."

"In that case, before I went hunting in the south of Yunnan, did you know the Yunnan household registration and the geometry of the land?"

"It's... Your Majesty... This, this is what a small official should do. ”

Zhu Youlang couldn't bear it anymore: "Then you told me what you need to do when you are a member of the household?" ”

"Commander-in-chief..."

"Bold! What qualifications do you have to lead the whole world? Let's not talk about what your position is, the things you serve are not clear, I want a blind man to lead the overall situation, no wonder the Ming Dynasty can't stay in one province in the two capitals and thirteen provinces! Money and grain depend on the master of money and grain, and the name of the criminal depends on the master of the criminal name, I might as well give the master a salary directly, and there is no middleman such as you to make the difference! ”

After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Zhu Youlang turned his head to Yang Qiangyi: "Summoning the Zhongxing officials to wait for the audience!" ”

Before the ministers could say anything, the twenty officials hurried up to the temple.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Liu Guanshan was also among the officials, and he stood at the front of the line and couldn't help but glance at the emperor he hadn't seen for months.

Zhu Youlang noticed the young man's small movements, "Liu Kanshan, what position did you hold before you came to Ava?" ”

"The subordinate is the deputy head of the twelfth village under the jurisdiction of Zhongxing Mansion."

"Let's introduce to the princes of the court, the basic overview of the twelfth village."

Liu Guanshan knew that there was a good show to watch, so he smiled and nodded and faced the hundred officials. "Your Majesty has an order, and the subordinates will introduce it to all the adults."

"The twelfth village is located fifteen miles southwest of Zhongxing Province, divided into three groups, 1,242 households of 360 households, 670 stone in summer tax, when the officials left, there were 37 taels of money retained in the village, and 230 stone of grain were retained."

"Of the one thousand two hundred and forty-two, twenty-seven were over forty-five years old, and three hundred and forty were children under sixteen. 685 males and 557 females. Originally, there were 8,350 acres of cultivated land, of which 4,600 acres were hillside land, but after the Ming Dynasty, 600 acres of new land were opened in our village, of which 300 acres were on the hillside. ”

"At the beginning of March, the Zhongxing government ordered each village to set up schools to teach children and provide them with one meal a day. Since there is no talent, Tong Sheng can act as a teacher, and I, the village head, and the accountant take turns to teach the children. The content of the lectures is newly issued Burmese and Chinese characters. By the time the subordinate left, there were already two clever boys who could write hundreds of Chinese characters. ”

The more Liu Guanshan continued, the more embarrassed the petty officials who committed crimes against the wind, and they wanted to dig a hole and get into it directly.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Zhu Youlang used a playful tone, "Deputy Village Chief Liu was selected by me from the children of the merchants, and seeing that he was bold and careful, I ordered him to go to the countryside to experience. Within a few months, this person knew everything about the place he was in charge of, and even went to great lengths to teach Mengtong himself. I would like to ask, how many of you here can understand their own political affairs to such a degree? I'm going to take the exams here one by one today, if it's far away, I think it's better not to insult the majesty of the court, right? ”

Yang Zai received Yang Qiangyi's color, and jumped out again to assist: "There are twenty officials in the hall, and Your Majesty only orders one person, is there a suspicion of peeping at the leopard?" ”

The civil official team breathed a sigh of relief: Yang Shilang just came out to top the cylinder, and when the sky fell, he would stone the tall man to death first.

"Although Weichen is not talented, he also thinks that he is familiar with his own affairs, please take the examination for His Majesty."

"Exactly." Zhu Youlang Chrysostom opened.

"What's your name?"

"If you go back to your lordship, your subordinate Wang Qinian."

"What was your position before you went south?"

"The head of the fourteenth village under the jurisdiction of Zhongxing Mansion."

"How many acres of land are there in the fourteenth village?"

"2,900 acres of flat land and 4,200 acres of mountainous land."

"How many people are there?"

"Two thousand three hundred."

"What is the total amount of summer tax?"

"Six hundred and thirty stones, and two hundred and twenty stones."

……

Yang Zai ordered a few people one after another, and everyone answered Yang Zai fluently. The civil officials gradually felt that something was wrong: Yang Shilang, Yang Shilang, you are a pig teammate, right?

Yang had the color of pig liver on the surface, but he smiled in his heart: I am the emperor's teammate, and you are also worthy of being my teammate?

After ordering seven or eight people, Zhu Youlang waved his hand to stop. "What else do you have to say? I will give you three months, and after three months, I will hold a subject examination here, and those who pass will be reinstated, and those who fail will be demoted or never used. ”

Originally, the three rules of procedure emphasized by Zhu Youlang were not used at this time: the opponent had long been silent and did not dare to die in person.

Yang Qianyi clapped his hands and asked the internal officials to hand out the prepared self-study booklets to the civil officials. Some people put it away without even looking at it, and some people threw it to the ground and stepped on it in anger when they saw the first page: "Your Majesty! This is a remnant word! Non-saint disciple words! ”

Zhu Youlang was frightened for a moment: In this era, there is also a "orthodox character" superior party of TW?

"I have heard that the scholars of this dynasty only know the four books and the five classics, and they do not know all about history, but today I see it in you! The sage wrote a big seal, why do you still write regular script? ignorance and ignorance; The gift of the emperor is trampled under your feet, is there a monarch father in your eyes? ”

"Your Majesty, this person insults the king, please behead him immediately!"

Zhu Youlang did not cut off the head of this second man, but asked people to drag him out and beat him with a hundred canes, and of course, the three people who were beaten to death also accompanied him to beat a hundred sticks.

As soon as the sound of bamboo meat stopped, someone came to report that the cane killed a person, and it was the young man who stepped on the pamphlet.

"Wrapped in straw mats, the carcass was thrown into the river to feed the fish. A person who has no king and no father, can he be buried? ”
