The quarrel in Wang Xiaomei's mouth, Wang Daoyun and Jinbao Ancestor and grandson all wondered when they heard it. No matter what Wang Daoguan said, he was pinching the time when Wang Fulin should have rushed back from Nanjing, and the dusty servants had just come back from the north, how could they quarrel with the younger generations like this?

After Wang Daoguan and Wang Daohui returned to their hometown to attend Wang Fulin's wedding last year, they hurried north to meet Wang Daokun. Today's officials take office, most of the county prefects will hire one or two masters, and the governor and governor will bring a bunch of staff because he is the commander of the light pole, and he will bring a bunch of staff.

Therefore, the once chic and uninhibited Second Master Wang has been in the north for nearly a year, and his once fair face has become a lot darker, and there are many traces of wind and frost on his body. Standing in the front yard at this moment, as soon as he saw Wang Fulin, he couldn't help but slap him on the shoulder: "It's still your kid's life, you have a good life, you have been studying for a year with red sleeves, and after Xiao Dengke, it's Dengke again!" Don't want to enjoy Qingfu in Huizhou this time, go home and pack up and go to the capital with me! ”

Just came back from Nanjing, and when he arrived at the door of the house, he was blocked by someone, and he didn't say a word and pulled him to Beijing, Wang Fulin felt that such a support was simply too much for people to be angry, and immediately sneered at each other angrily: "Second master, you yourself are also a person who has taken the exam, what kind of red sleeves add incense to study hard behind closed doors, this taste is very comfortable?" After arriving in Nanjing, it will be a mess, don't say that you are one less of the people who are making the momentum. It's just a pity that I'm going to be busy with this and that after the exam, I got to the Yinzhuang ticket number in Nanjing City plus the dart bureau at three ends, and finally went home, and now I haven't even drunk a sip of water, and you're urging me to leave again? Is this inhumane? ”

"Inhumanity. Who makes your kid able to endure more, and the capable person works harder. Wang Daoguan laughed confidently. For Wang Fulin behind him, Xiaobei was quietly sneaking into the Ming Hall with Yan's mother and Bizhu, he didn't pay much attention to it, but when he found that a young man in his early thirties was holding hands and smiling and watching the excitement, he realized that he was just ridiculing the kid and ignored it for a while. immediately put on a serious face. Leaving Wang Fulin behind, he stepped forward and arched his hand, "Zunjia is a friend that Fulin brought back from Nanjing?" This lazy boy doesn't recommend it. ”

Zhu Zongji and Wang Fulin have only known each other for a few days, and they haven't met many times, but they have some inexplicable melancholy about the future that they are destined to enter the Tai Hospital, so they sneak out for a walk, not to mention that this is the first time he has come to Huizhou Mansion. I didn't expect that the Wang family of Songming Mountain, who is also a bit famous now, would have such a scene, and he, an outsider, naturally found it interesting to look lively. Seeing that Wang Daoguan had already turned to himself, he coughed lightly. Only then did he turn sideways, showing that the other person who was neither entering nor retreating at the gate came.

"In Linhuai, Zhu Zongji is just a guy who eats idle meals, and he follows Brother Wang Xian to Huizhou to take a look, it's not a big deal. However, the younger brother Jiang Xian is the current Ke Xie Yuanlang, since he has arrived in Fucheng, he insists on coming to visit the elders of Wang Xiandi's family, and then go home. I thought he would be able to meet the famous Mr. Zhongyan again. I was overjoyed. ”

Only then did Wang Daoguan realize that there was indeed a slightly emaciated young man at the gate, and the other party's face was full of embarrassment. At this time, when I came forward to pay a long visit, I didn't even say a few words for a long time. Wang Er's master is famous in Huizhou's six counties, far from being like Wang Daohui, who can say a good word, if he is seen by others and his nephew today, he is nothing, but he can be seen by Xinke Xie Yuan. He was inevitably a little unnatural, he helped Jiang Wenming up and said a few words, and immediately sent Wang Fulin to lead people inside to see Wang Daoyun, and then he looked at Zhu Zongji.

"I remember, aren't you Mr. Zhu the Xinglin national player that Linhuai Hou plans to recommend in the book?" Wang Daoguan suddenly clasped his palms together. Immediately thinking of Wang Fulin's words just now, he laughed, "It is really unpredictable that my Wang family's Qianli Ju can have a relationship with Linhuai Hou. That kid doesn't have a word in his mouth, bother Mr. Zhu to tell me? ”

Since Wang Daoguan was attracted by Zhu Zongji, Wang Fulin was so happy that he didn't have to deal with this second master Wang, so he had to take Jiang Wenming to see his father. Wang Daoyun, who is almost forty years old and just a talent, didn't expect Wang Fulin to bring a Xie Yuanlang back, and the anger that he first heard that Wang Fulin dared to quarrel with his elder Wang Daoguan was all thrown to Java, with a polite appearance full of smiles, in the private words of Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei, it was only when my brother got married, and even when the news of my brother's move came, I was not so happy.

Of course, Wang Fulin knows why his father is happy, Wang Daoyun and Wang Daokun are different from their brothers, although they have also gone through business, but they always feel that the lintel of the merchant is not the best, and now Wang Fulin has a noble friend Xie Yuan, which is very different. And when Wang Daoguan brought Zhu Zongji in and introduced this one, Wang Daoyun was even more surprised.

If you are not a good looker, you are a good doctor, this value is the most respected among the scholars and Confucian scholars, and it is much more elegant than the Xin'an people who respect the imperial examination if they fail to do business!

In this way, Wang Daoguan deliberately waited for the rabbit, and when Wang Fulin came back, he wanted to say the right thing, but he choked in his throat, and he never had the opportunity to say it. Fortunately, Jiang Wenming had been away from home for too long, and he had to go to Fucheng to meet his uncle, promising to visit again in the future, Wang Fulin planned to take this opportunity to sneak away to meet Ye Dacang's father-in-law, and immediately offered to give it away, Wang Daoguan immediately decided to leave together, although Wang Daoyun said that he regretted it, he could only temporarily rest his mind and send someone out. When the group entered the Desheng Gate between the county seat and the capital city, Jiang Wenming said goodbye and went first, and Wang Daoguan grabbed the reins of Wang Fulin's mount.

At this time, there were no idle people around, so Wang Fulin asked bluntly: "Uncle, it is said that I will only be eighteen until the New Year, even if it is easy to pass the examination now, there is a chance that there will be no play in the examination next year, even if I am lucky enough to take the top three Tongjinshi, it is too early to share anything with my uncle Mr. Nanming." Uncle, I should have just returned to the capital, why did I send you in such a hurry to ask me to go to the capital? ”

"If it's just the experience, if you go two days earlier or two days late, it doesn't matter. It's just ......" Wang Daoguan paused slightly, and then said in a rather bitter tone, "Yuanfu Zhang Ge Boss has made a big move, and it should be implemented in the whole world in the next month or two." ”

Wang Fulin couldn't help but be stunned. Exam Method? This is almost called the sharpest and most effective measure among all Zhang Juzheng's reform measures in later generations, why is Wang Daoguan now like a flood beast? But after thinking about it, he also understood that it had long been natural for officials to procrastinate and prevaricate in handling affairs in recent years, and it was not surprising that he was suddenly frightened in the face of a dose of fierce medicine. Wang Daokun is a squire of the military department, and outsiders call him Shao Sima, although it is not as complicated as the evaluation of civil officials in charge of the ministry, the evaluation of the military attache of the military selection department is also very important, and it may be that this is how it is shaken.

Wang Daoguan rode forward slowly, and after he followed, he continued to say in a deep voice: "According to the examination law, the six departments of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will list the items that should be done by the officials under them, and at the end of the year, they will be checked one by one according to the items they have done, and this will be used as an evaluation. Although the eldest brother felt that this was too harsh, but it was a good way to refresh the rule of officials, and it was more ruthless than the rules and regulations of the tall beard in the past, but it was also more effective. But the problem is not in the center, but in the locality. Do you know what is the focus of the examination law for magistrates? ”

Regarding Zhang Juzheng's new policy, Wang Fulin only remembered that the biggest impact on the local area was that the whole country measured the land, and many officials sent down deliberately made a fuss about the measuring tools in order to curry favor with the first assistant, in order to increase the tax amount, exaggerated the number of acres, and these exaggerated acres of land, of course, some of them were unlucky for the big landlords, but a large part of them fell on the heads of the small people in Shengdou, and the real gentry and big households were not greatly affected. But now many places in the southeast and Fujian have implemented various new policies similar to a whip, but the measurement of land has not yet begun, and he really doesn't know the impact of the examination law on local officials.

And Wang Daoguan's tone was really a little too grim, and he immediately asked, "What's the point?" Is it enslavement? Wasn't that the same in the past? ”

"In the past, if the levy was insufficient, if the magistrate could find a valid reason, the arrears would be accumulated, but now, according to the examination law, the magistrate must levy more than ninety percent of the levy every year, otherwise he will be demoted! The most important thing is not only this, it has always been in arrears, and over time, the court has no choice but to exempt it, but now according to the new examination method, all arrears are re-counted, and when summer taxes and autumn grains are levied every year, they are all levied according to this re-counted figure, which means that no matter what means you use, you must collect them, and the arrears are paid in full. Before the resignation of the chief of the prefecture and county, those who are not clear in the assignment shall not be promoted or transferred......"

About because the relationship between Wang Daokun and Zhang Juzheng is really good at this time, Wang Daoguan said the details of the examination method, and Wang Fulin was cold when he heard it. Of course he knows that now that the disadvantages have been deep, if Zhang Juzheng wants to make up for the sky with one hand, he has to use thunder means, but such thunder means fall from the court to the grassroots level, it seems that the county magistrate is under great pressure from a pro-people official, and from another level, why not the small people bear the thunder? Not to mention anything else, unless it is the real steel backbone that is not bent in chief, how many people dare to aim the butcher's knife of the imperial court at the huge gentry in the countryside, and it is not the people of Li who suffer?

Wang Fulin quickly adjusted his mood, raised his eyebrows and asked: "But the law of the examination is implemented, and it is right for my uncle to worry about the country and the people, what can I help?" ”

"Shuai Jiamo went to Jingshi." Wang Daoguan said just nine words, and sure enough, he saw Wang Fulin's face as black as a pot lid, so he smiled bitterly, "So, the bell must be tied to the bell, who are you going to go?" (To be continued......)
