[You read ah novel network, please collect!] ]
All the eyes of the people were on Qin Lin's face, whispering, secretly guessing the identity and origin of this brocade servant, some were envious because he could be remembered by the first auxiliary emperor, but more because of Zhang Juzheng's attitude, thinking about the fate of this little affair: is it the first auxiliary emperor's order, directly sent to the edict, or is it dismissed and asked, and the army is three thousand miles away from the miasma?
Qin Lin greeted the past unhurriedly, smiling and not arrogant or humble.
[You read ah novel network, please collect!] Seeing that he still had an embroidered spring knife hanging on his waist, those guards were quite nervous, and they brushed the long knives out of the sheath, forming a human wall in front of Zhang Juzheng, and there was a guard military attache who was in three-grade supplementary clothes and said, "Stand down!" Death to those who go further! ”
Ahh
"Okay," Zhang Juzheng waved his hand, he wanted to see what Qin Lin had to say.
The guards retreated, Qin Lin walked five steps in front of Zhang Juzheng, suddenly shook the sleeves of his robe, pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar to bow his head, and kowtowed firmly: "Nephew Qin Lin, I will pay my head to meet Mr. Zhang, my uncle!" May the old gentleman be healthy and blessed with longevity! ”
Dare to love these two or have a good family background? All the officials, retinues, and servants were all dumbfounded, because Qin Lin did not call the official title and name, but the title of the nephew and uncle. [You read ah novel network, please collect!] ]
Those who are more obedient have already begun to think about the origin of someone Qin, and it is good to have a relationship with him and make friends.
The two brothers of the Zhang family, who knew the inside story, couldn't cry or laugh, Zhang Maoxiu took a sip: "The splashy surnamed Qin is so lazy!" ”
Where do the Zhang family and Qin Lin have any world friends? If you want to have a relationship with Zhang Juzheng, you have to calculate it from Zhang Zixuan, uh, before getting married, sons-in-law and fathers-in-law often call each other uncles and nephews
- And what "body Kangtai, Fushou Shuangquan", is not so much what the lower official said when he saw the emperor, but like a son-in-law visiting his father-in-law.
[You read ah novel network, please collect!] Therefore, Zhang Zixuan's face hidden in the mink fur was already red from her cheeks to the root of her ears, looking at Qin Lin's lazy appearance, she couldn't get angry, she couldn't hate it......
Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant emperor, opened a pair of eyes, and was also made by Qin Lin to not know what to say, people worshipped and worshipped, and he also regarded himself as a junior nephew, and his attitude was respectful enough, you said to be angry, stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, let it go, and feel that something is wrong.
Zhang Juzheng was about to have an attack when he was angry, but he couldn't help laughing at this time-he was angry by Qin Lin's cheekiness.
After the first assistant of the current dynasty made a self-reprieve to win his own favor, the reform measures became more and more drastic, and he fought fiercely against the stubborn and conservative forces of all parties, and the ruling idea was to use capable officials instead of clean officials, although Zhilan would get in the way, he would also be eradicated, and he would be more and more arbitrary, if Qin Lin pretended to be Qing Gao and played something arrogant, he would definitely provoke him to be angry on the spot, but he was spoofing and joking with him like this, and Zhang Juzheng's anger in his heart disappeared by a small half.
"Get up, you're thick-skinned, what uncle and nephew?" Zhang Juzheng laughed, and secretly thought to himself: In any case, it is impossible for the first assistant emperor to marry his daughter to be a wife, forget about the uncle and nephew, spare you to be thick-skinned, if it is a virtuous son-in-law and Taishan, we should be exempted.
Qin Lin got up with a smile and made another gesture to Zhang Juzheng.
Seeing this scene, the officials and subordinates who followed Zhang Juzheng became more and more determined: This Qin someone must have a great relationship with the first auxiliary emperor, otherwise how could he be so free and easy, joking in front of everyone?
Zhang Juzheng looked at the three children who showed concern in the distance, especially Zhang Zixuan, whose pretty face was flushed, he suddenly thought about it, sneered a few times, and asked Qin Lin with a straight face: "Qin Shinephew, have you made progress in your studies recently?" Now that you come to visit, the old man will inevitably have to take the school exam, and you are not allowed to push back and hinder! ”
In the eyes of others, it is the proper meaning of Uncle Shi's examination of the knowledge of his nephew.
The three brothers and sisters of the Zhang family glanced at each other, and they were all a little helpless: Qin Lin said last time that his reform ideas were different from his father's, and the old man still remembered it! No, now that the old things are brought up again, Qin Lin should deal with it decently, if there is anything wrong, hey, the new accounts and the old accounts will be counted together.
Qin Lin was not in a hurry, and arched his hand: "The little nephew is a shallow learner, but he relies on Uncle Shi's advice." ”
Zhang Juzheng looked at his daughter, stroked his dark beard and smiled, and said to the officials who came with him: "Rank minister, this nephew of the prime minister has a bit of crooked comments about the way of government, what we are discussing today, let him sit in on it, and wait for the prime minister to take this as a topic and test him for the school." ”,
All the court officials were taken aback, they originally listened to Zhang Juzheng and Qin Lin talking, the so-called school examination is nothing more than the question on the Four Books and Five Classics, but they didn't expect it to be the way to take the exam, which really values him too much! Imagine the governance concept of an official in the Ming Dynasty, when the first assistant of the dynasty personally examined the school, what does this mean?
If it weren't for Qin Lin's young age and the military attache of Jinyiwei, everyone would definitely guess whether he was going to enter the cabinet to pay respects!
As everyone knows, Qin Lin is greatly relieved, if Zhang Juzheng tests him on what scriptures and poems, he really doesn't know anything, but he is the way of politics, and he already has a manuscript.
Zhang Juzheng was the leader, and all the court officials followed suit, and Qin Lin followed in the end and walked into the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Let's go, let's go listen too!" Zhang Zixuan smiled crookedly and pulled the two brothers.
Zhang Juzheng and the officials sat down in the lobby, Qin Lin, the junior, naturally accompanied the last seat, Zhang Juzheng first introduced Qin Lin's resume to all his colleagues, although he was dissatisfied, but also praised him for his ability to solve several major cases, and he was not afraid of the wind and waves at sea to appease the chief of Yingzhou, and contributed to the country.

Introducing the court officials to Qin Lin again scared Qin Lin.
The red-robed old man who is nearly seventy years old, has bright hair, but still has a ruddy complexion, and has no old fatigue, is the prince of the Ministry of Shangshu Taibao Wang Guoguang.
Faced with the fact that the development of grain could not keep up with the prosperity and development of society and the rate of population growth, he implemented the method of "settling the officials" in order to make careful calculations and comprehensively control the grain, made overall arrangements for various grain channels, and firmly held the power of grain entry and exit in the hands of the state, which played a very crucial role in alleviating the grain shortage.
Wang Guoguang also took the lead in writing the "Wanli Accounting Record", which was the theoretical basis for Zhang Juzheng to implement a whip law to reform the tax system, and later became the standard for the Ming and Qing dynasties......
Wang Zhang, a servant of the Ministry of Officials who was about 60 years old, was quite insightful about the border salary and horse politics and the government of the people, and was a loyal supporter of Zhang Juzheng's reform.
Zhang Xueyan, the head of the household department, was the governor of Liaodong in the period of Longqing, and was in office to recruit and enrich the army, rectify the war preparations, and led the general Li Chengliang to defeat the barbarians, and his military achievements were brilliant. In Wanli, he worshiped the head of the household department, and wrote the "Wanli Accounting Record" with Wang Guoguang to check the cashier, and listed the "Qingzhang Regulations", which corrected the evils such as overflow, omission, and fraudulent borrowing, and cleared out more than 800,000 acres of concealed fields from the hands of wealthy dignitaries, which greatly reduced the burden on poor peasant households.
Li Youzi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is extremely obese, but he is a fellow villager of Zhang Juzheng, good at managing floods, and is a capable minister.
Pan Jitao, a servant of the Ministry of Industry, has a number of heroes in the history of human water conservancy, with the advanced method of "double embankment system, building deceleration embankments along the river embankments, and diverting the Yellow River sediment and silting up the embankments" to govern the Yellow River, the Huai River, and the canals, and the people on both sides of the river have countless ancestral halls, and in the last years of the Qing Dynasty three hundred years later, they are still regarded as the most advanced water conservancy technology in the world by Western water conservancy experts.
Seven years ago, he led an army of 140,000 troops to quell the rebellion of the servants in Sichuan as the governor of Sichuan, and used Liu Cheng as the general, more than 60 Kezhai, 4,600 prisoners, more than 400 miles of land, and 93 sides of Zhuge bronze drums, which leveled the southwest disaster that plagued the Ming Dynasty for more than 100 years.
These officials are not morally perfect and saints, some of them are greedy for money, some are lustful, and some are in positions of power, but they are all first-class capable ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and the stars shining brightly in the early years of Wanli.
It was they who surrounded Zhang Juzheng like the Gong Beidou of the stars and defended his new policy cause, so that they could quell the rebellion, rule the world, clean up the fields, reduce the burden of the people, increase the income of the imperial court, renovate water conservancy, train the new army, and reform the rule of officials...... Finally, the Ming Dynasty, which had shown fatigue during the Jiajing period, was rejuvenated again, showing a good situation of Wanli Zhongxing.
Qin Lin recently talked with Xu Wenchang about the general trend of the world, whether Zang is the government and the opposition, and talked about the exploits of these famous ministers and cadres who are enough to shine in the annals of history, and even the old man Xu, who has no children left, is amazed, and Qin Lin, who knows the general historical trend, knows how far-reaching this group of famous ministers is to maintain the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
Even Qin Lin, who has the memory of later generations, is in this hall, and can't help but sigh how lucky the Wanli Emperor is, how lucky the people of the Ming Dynasty are, and what a glorious situation the famous ministers gathered together opened up for the country in the first ten years of the Wanli Dynasty......

Now, Qin Lin, who was sitting in the lobby with them, although he was in Zhang Juzheng's private residence, was actually equivalent to the highest decision-making level in the Ming Dynasty, and he forcibly suppressed the agitation in his heart and listened to what they discussed.
Zhang Juzheng took a sip of tea and looked around at his colleagues: "It's coming to an end again, and I've been arguing in the court for so long today, and I can't make up the household expenses for next year. ”
"Old man, the border defense is a heavy responsibility!" Zeng Shengwu was the most anxious, and the first one rushed to say: "The lower officials saw the electric gun and thunder gun presented by Wei Guogong, which are indeed more sophisticated than the original bird gun, and Qi Shuai of Jizhen is also full of praise, saying that with such a sharp weapon, it is enough to ensure the safety of Liaodong Mobei for 20 years......"
Zhang Juzheng looked at Qin Lin, he didn't hide anything from Xiang Ye in the world, he knew that the new gun was really made by this guy, and when he wanted to praise him, he was not happy: The gun is good, but the increased cost is a headache, it is really difficult to choose!
Qin Lin lowered his head and smiled, without saying a word.
Zeng Xingwu didn't finish speaking, Pan Jitao grabbed Bai and said: "The river work can be completed in February next year, but to ensure that the Yellow River does not break for ten years, it is necessary to start a large project to control the sand, and now we must allocate silver, so as to catch up with next year's flood season - the flood is as fierce as a tiger, Lao Zeng, your new gun and slow down!"
