"Correction, this is the document you asked for in the Xuzhou Nursing Home."

Zong Ze took the file from the hand of the hall official, nodded, and asked people to go down first.

"Why are you still busy?"

As soon as the priest went out, one of them came in.

Zong Ze was so busy that he didn't even raise his eyes, "The errand given by the Xianggong will be done when he comes back from the palace." ”

On his desk, there are already dozens of official documents, all of which are letters about the nursing home.

I flipped through the official documents of Xuzhou twice, found the number he wanted, and recorded it on a piece of paper.

The man stretched out his head and looked at the one that Zong Ze had just thrown to the top of the document pile: "Relief home." Isn't this an errand in the barnhouse? ”

Zong Ze didn't raise his head, picked up another official document from the other side, and said as he flipped through it, "The one who came down from the bus, can you tell him that it's none of my business?" ”

This is actually not an errand in the military ceremonial room, so Zong Ze did not ask his subordinates to help.

"Ru Lin, you are the prime minister's talent, Han Xianggong just wants you to experience more."

Zong Ze picked up the pen again and wrote something seriously on the paper, "Thank you for the compliment, Zong Ze doesn't dare to be." ”

Han Gang praised Zong Ze more than once for being a talented man, and then very simply threw many important things to Zong Ze to deal with.

On the one hand, Zong Ze thanked Han Gang for his kindness, but on the other hand, he also felt that he was being squeezed. It's like a donkey in a mill, seeing the grass hanging in front of it, and then it keeps pulling the mill round and round.

"Is Jingshi going to arrest someone?" The man suddenly lowered his voice and asked quietly.

"Zhao Bojian, who are you asking for?"

Zong Ze raised his head helplessly and looked at the middle-aged official in front of him.

Zhao Lingxuan, the cousin Bojian, is the fifth grandson of Taizu, and has already produced five suits, except for the jade version of the name, there is no other benefit, but you can also participate in the imperial examination.

Everyone knows that it is impossible for people in the clan to participate in the imperial examination without five suits, and at least they must be the fifth grandson of the founding generation of Kuangzi to be regarded as five suits. And the Lingzi generation of the Taizu lineage, the Shizi generation of the Taizong line, and the Zizi generation of the Wei Wang line, add up to less than 2,000 people. Among them, there are no official positions, and there are less than 100 people who are seriously preparing for the Jinshi examination. So now, there is only one Jinshi in the clan.

The first person since the founding of the country, it is conceivable how special Zhao Lingxuan's status in the clan will be. Zhao Lingshuo is now a lowly official, but even the queen mother has heard of his name, although he does not expect to be a prime minister, a political participant, or a privy envoy, but the probability of entering the ranks of important ministers is much higher than that of ordinary Jinshi.

Zhao Lingshuo himself, because of his clan identity, although he is not a heavy responsibility in the Chinese book, his status is also very special, and anyone can say a good one. Zong Ze has a good relationship with Zhao Lingshuo, and two years ago, Zhao Lingshuo was accused of going to Zongzheng Temple and Zhongshu because he did not pay tribute to his uncle Zong Sheng. Zhao Zongsheng is the great-grandson of Taizong, between Taizu and Taizong, the knot is very heavy, and there is always a conflict between the open and the secret. Fortunately, Zong Ze helped in the middle and was exempted from official punishment.

However, the two can talk easily, because they smell the same.

"There are too many people." Zhao Lingxuan took a few small shots and came over and sat down.

Zong Ze couldn't help him, and shook his head, "Didn't you go to Luoyang on an errand, why did you come back so soon?" ”

"Where should you go, Luoyang. Go today, come back tomorrow, how many days? ”

"I didn't stay for two more days, Luoyang Fengyue is rare."

"It's okay to stay for two more days for the first time, but if you go more, there is nothing interesting in Luoyang City, what fun can compare to the capital? Wait until the summer, and then take a few more days to go for a walk in the mountains. ”

After having a railway, it became very easy to go to Luoyang, Yingtian, Daimyofu and other four capitals for a business trip.

With the Jingluo Railway, take a trip to Luoyang, generally eight hours.

If it is an early train from the fifth watch, you can arrive in Luoyang before the city gate is locked. The next day, I did the night train back to Beijing that night, and I was able to go to work early the next morning. That's two days. If you are all traveling by night train, even a little more than a day is enough. Of course, Luoyang Fengyue is not inferior to Jinghua, although the imperial court is a messenger, but it will still talk about some favors, and generally give two more days.

"If you really want to talk about Fengyue, Luoyang City is not as good as the station outside the city, Rulin, I'm afraid you don't know how good the area around Luoyang Station is now."

Zong Ze patted the pile of documents in his hand, "Luoyang Station went to the net income of more than 143,000 yuan, I don't know?" He smiled, "There are more than 300,000 at Tokyo Station." The maintenance and labor of the railway are contracted only by the industries under the station, and the freight is a net profit, and the commercial tax must be calculated separately. ”

All the railway stations that have been built, without exception, occupy a large area of land by the way. Except for some of the main buildings of the station, the rest of the buildings were built. It can be used as a warehouse, inn, hotel.

In the two years since the opening of the Beijing-Si Railway, the operating expenses of the railway have been offset only by the income from the rental housing at the station. Although the railway is located in a remote place in Hedong, the additional income of the station also ensures that the entire railway can recover its cost normally. Although the first Fangcheng Mountain track has just completed the new phase of transformation, because it is no less than the main road of the Bianhe River, the income of half a year is enough to cover the expenditure of the track repair at the beginning of the year.

"A book of great profits." Zhao Lingshuo laughed dryly, and said: "Don't talk about this, if the Xianggong wants to run a nursing home, it must not be simple to sell it for money, but Dali is so short of people?" ”

"It's not Dali, it's Yunnan." Zong Ze corrected, "Xianggong once said that although most of these people are rat feces that have soiled the soup, they are still cleaner than barbarians when they are placed on the border. ”

"But there are some poor people among them."

"That's true." Zong Ze nodded, "But the imperial court gave them their own property, isn't it benevolent?" Isn't it better to be an upright person than to grovel? Moreover, among the beggars, there are many wicked people who tie up other people's children, break their legs, disfigure, and raise them to beg. How can such a person be allowed to continue to eat without doing?! ”

In addition to daily affairs, Zong Ze is now mainly engaged in the immigration work on Yunnan Road that Han Gang threw over.

In recent years, a system has been formed for all criminals who have been assassinated and assigned to the exiles, either going to the outside of the mountains or to the Western Regions, and there are rules for going all the way. Now that there is Yunnan again, if you want to immigrate, you have to take food from other people's mouths.

Because of the frequent stabbing and remote areas, the number of crimes in the world is decreasing year by year, and the total number of cases is a full thirty percent less than ten years ago. Originally, there were not enough people, where could they withstand the snatching of food by another family.

So the political hall thought that instead of the three of them grabbing the cake, it was better to make the cake bigger. This idea inevitably hit the beggars all over the street.

At the end of last year, the imperial court ordered all prefectures and counties in the world to set up relief homes to shelter the poor and beggars who had no food and clothing, and to provide food and lodging. The system of the sanatorium is nominally to favor the poor and beggars in the world, but in fact, it is a yamen that absorbs immigrants, and it wants to let a laborer who is not engaged in production for various reasons stabilize the frontier of the Great Song Dynasty.

The hungry people are the source of trouble, and in times of famine, the court selects the strong ones among the displaced people as soldiers to prevent people from causing rebellion. In the peaceful years, although there were no displaced people on the way, there were still many people who were reduced to extreme poverty and had no food and clothing due to various reasons. Rather than begging them on the streets and eventually starting to be traitors, it is better to give them a way out.

Therefore, according to the predetermined plan, it will take a few years to gradually ban begging in the city, and as long as beggars are found, all of them will be put into almshouses. Among them, those who have the ability to work are sent to remote places such as Yunnan to farm. If you don't have the ability to work for the time being, you will raise it, and as long as you have hands, you won't have to worry about having nothing to do for them.

Many beggars have hands and feet, and they can definitely support themselves by doing some physical work, and they can beg, but they are just lazy, and when they go to the borderlands, they have their own persuasion of agricultural officials to help them correct this problem. I am not afraid that they will dare to make trouble, and when they reach a wild place where they are unfamiliar with life, the Han people must hold together, and those who do not listen to the government will suffer in the hands of the barbarians. And those displaced people who have to beg for food because of the loss of land are more popular with the local people, they are honest people, and they will not make some trouble.

Zhao Lingshuo was silent for a moment, "That's why the prime minister chose to officially implement the nursing home system in March?" ”

"Of course."

Every year, when the green and yellow are not harvested, the beggars in Jingshi will increase by a few percent. Although Han Gang did not say it explicitly, people with a discerning eye could still see that this was clearly casting a big net to catch big fish.

"The beggars are gone, what are the regulations over there in the two halls and three courtyards?"

The so-called two halls and three courts are the left and right halls and the government courts, the left army patrol court, and the right army patrol court, which manage the criminal and prison proceedings in Kaifeng Mansion.

"No matter if a beggar has no proper job, and he can't find three guarantors, as long as he is convicted, no matter how small, he will go to Yunnan. In fact, Brother Bojian, you don't need to be in a hurry to ask, the charter will be announced in two days. ”

In recent years, the internal control of large and small offenses has been extremely strict.

There are millions of soldiers and civilians in Beijing, and there are inevitably many people in the market who have settled down and walked to the side door to eat. If you don't learn well, harass your neighbors, or seduce the children of good people to learn badly, you will often be sued by officials. Once the crime is confirmed, he will be sent to the border, and it will be difficult for him to return to Beijing for the rest of his life.

As long as you live in the capital, you can often hear about such things, and even newspapers will publish them, so that they can be police officers.

There is a family of eunuchs next to Zong Ze's house, and the owner is a member of the military department, who runs an errand in the Privy Council. The eldest son of his family was lured by a splash to gamble, and it was also a private peripheral gamble, and he lost more than 200 yuan last winter, and then he was reported to the official, seduced his son's splash, and sentenced to go to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate. And the one who opened a private gambling ball was sent to the state with a rod - first a hundred rods, and then a state with a rod.

However, after receiving more than 50 blows in the patrol courtyard of the left army, he swallowed his breath, wrapped a straw mat and went out, and he had no chance to leave the Beijing division - if he dared to snatch food from the two major headquarters of Keju and horse racing, he would naturally be killed and set an example.

But now it has to be done more strictly, but anyone who does not have a proper occupation is in the ranks of the crackdown. If you don't have a proper job, you can't find more than three guarantors, and once you commit a crime, you have to go to Yunnan to go to Yunnan for a while.

Zhao Lingxuan was a little stunned, "Now, the atmosphere in the Beijing division is going to change greatly." ”

"That's exactly what Xiang Gong wants to see."
