Chapter 100: The Opening of the Mansion
When he returned to the post house, Meng Hou and the others were already waiting in front of the door, and when they saw Zhao Min, they hurriedly welcomed him into the hall. Before the pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info entered the house, it was too late to sit down, so Xiahou Ying couldn't wait to ask about the content of the decree.
Looking at Meng Hou and Chen Zhen, who were also looking forward to it, Zhao Min had basically adjusted his mentality on the way back, and tried his best to make an indifferent appearance at the moment, and told all the contents of the holy decree to a few people with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, the room was quiet and the pins were falling.
Of course, Zhao Min imagined the shock of everyone when he heard the news, so he took a look at a few people. But when he saw Chen Zhen go out and pick up his wallet - there was no such thing as a wallet at that time - he found that there was a large gold brick inside, his eyes were bright, his mouth was half open, he trembled slightly because of excitement, and the long beard under his jaw also trembled; Meng Hou is not abnormal because he has a little foundation in his heart, but his wise eyes in the past are not gathered in one place now, fluttering, and obviously his heart is not as calm as his appearance; Xia Houying's performance was the most exaggerated, I saw that his face was flushed, his mouth seemed to be about to say something but he couldn't say it, his hands were open as if he wanted to hold something, and what was even more excessive was that two lines of tears welled up in his eyes, which went all the way down his face until they hung on the tip of his jaw, shiny and extremely eye-catching.
Zhao Min took in the images of everyone and sighed secretly in his heart. What does it mean to be the king of the North Sea? It means that he is the only prince and king in this dynasty (of course, it may be the only one since Youxia) who is recognized by the imperial court! It means that the world is well-known! It means that Meng Hou and the others who follow him are also ministers of a country from now on, and they are no longer comparable to the doormen or overbearing official positions in the past!
This era is no more important than the future, and people sometimes value fame more than life. There are only two main ways for scholars to become officials, one is to be recruited by the county government, county government, and state government, and become a subordinate official, waiting for the lord to be promoted or leave office to fill the vacancy; The other is the inspection system, that is, to be elected as filial piety or Xiucai - the Xiucai here is different from the Ming and Qing dynasties that refer to the kind of Xiucai who is a scholar, only the state thorn history of more than 2,000 stones, the imperial history, the three dukes, etc. are eligible to recommend, and each person has only one place per year, usually less than 20 people are recommended nationwide in a year, but once they are promoted as a show, they can at least be directly released as a county magistrate or county order, it can be said that those who are not talented cannot be called a show - of course, in addition to the above two ways, There are also other methods such as sprouting, election, edict, etc. But no matter which way, the first condition is either that you have a good family background, or that you are famous, in the final analysis, it is the most important thing to be famous, because a good family background can be famous! It also makes sense, an unknown junior, how do people know you, why do they recommend you to be filial piety or talent? And why do you want to be a doorman and a scribe for yourself? This principle is the same as the truth that countless people in modern times break their heads to participate in any draft or live broadcast, and only famous people can make money! What do you say for the sake of dreams, for the pursuit of ...... Who believes!
Therefore, in this era, anyone who has an ideal reading values fame very seriously, and being able to follow a king given by the Son of Heaven as a minister can imagine the benefits of enhancing his fame! Especially for scholars such as Meng Hou and Chen Zhen who are not from big families, it is a pivotal matter.
But for Xia Houying, the situation is slightly different. He is the head of a family himself, but this family is completely different from those families that have been inherited for a hundred years, and it can be said that among the tens of thousands of families in the Great Xia Dynasty, it can only be ranked at the bottom - even Jimo County can't hold the bull's ear, and it is not the last stream in the whole country. Therefore, what he has been striving for is to be able to pass on the family. Originally, his sister, that is, Zhao Min's mother, entered the palace as an opportunity, but unfortunately, first, their Xiahou family did not have any particularly outstanding children, and secondly, the time for this sister to enter the palace was too short, and she died before she could blow some pillow wind for her mother's family, causing the Xiahou family to never have a chance to grow. What's more, if it weren't for Zhao Min's inconvenience, he would have been wiped out by the county order a few months ago.
But now it's different, Zhao Min has to be crowned king, and Xiahou Ying, as his maternal uncle, can he still be treated as a high-ranking official? With an official position, are you still worried about the lack of fame, the difficulty in recruiting talents, and the inability to smooth the trade routes? Are you still worried that the Xiahou family will not be able to grow? In view of this, it is not surprising that Xia Houying was so excited that she even burst into tears.
Zhao Min and the others digested the news for a while, and saw that except for Xiahou Ying, who was still alone with his eyes closed and didn't know what to think, the other two had returned to normal, and then he said slowly: "It's like this, the emperor's grace is vast, and Min Wei is just ordered." I wonder if you can teach me? "This must be asked, Meng Hou is good at wisdom, Chen Zhen is old in the case, this will be a serious opening of the government, Zhao Min alone will definitely be blind, only rely on these old rivers and lakes to be reliable.
Meng Hou squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and was the first to speak: "According to Hou's opinion, there is no need to rush the various names of this Beihai Palace, the most important thing now is to spread the word to all parts of Beihai, inform the counties and townships, and first occupy the righteousness is the way." β
Zhao Min thought about it, indeed, the Beihai in the past was Lu Xu's Beihai, and the Beihai in the future will be my Zhao someone's, and there must be countless ghosts and ghosts in the past, and they must be left to be cleaned up slowly in the future. Now the news of Beihai being returned to itself is notified to all places, which means that everyone will be given a breath first, and then Beihai will be surnamed Zhao (this sounds a little strange, isn't the surname Zhao in the whole of Daxia?) If you are obedient, you will stay honestly; If you don't want to be obedient, I'll tell you now that I'm going to clean you up sooner or later, so it's better to get out of here while I have time. He nodded in agreement.
Chen Zhen also immediately spoke: "Once in charge of the Northern Sea, it turns out that there is a great shortage of manpower, please ask the Beihai King to write to the major families, please extend his children; Or arrange special people to go to all parts of the country to recruit celebrities from all over the country, one to supplement the population, the second to win over the family, and the third to enhance the popularity. β
Chen Zhen is right. The original officials of the Beihai County Guard Mansion were either killed or captured along with Lu Xu's rebellion, or they went to the officials at that time; Even the part of Zhao Min who went to the official didn't dare to use it, who knows if there are a few protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials who have their old masters in their hearts, in case there are a few characters like Xu Gongmenke one day, Zhao Min doesn't dare to say that he is harder than the life of Jiangdong Xiaobawang.
But on the other hand, there is no shortage of manpower in Jimo now, but those manpower are all children invited from the local turtle family in Jimo, and they are still competent to be scholars and scribes in a small place like Jimo, but if they want to be the face of a country, I am afraid they really can't do it! Because Beihai is barren in the north and rich in the south, just from the perspective of the inherited families, most of the century-old families are located in Yingling, Chang'an, Gaomi and other counties, and in these places, these wealthy families basically control local affairs. This is also the reason why Lu Xu's rebellion dragged the four western counties, while Zhao Min led the seven eastern counties to quell the rebellion, but there was no movement with the southern counties. Therefore, if you want to stabilize the place and sit firmly on the chair of the King of the North Sea, it will never be possible without the support of these great families, whether it is the support of people or the support of the name.
Thinking of this, Zhao Min arched his hand and said to Chen Zhen: "Guizhi has been in Beihai for many years, and he is very familiar with the local customs and customs, and he also gives his tongue, and the heavy responsibility of contacting the wealthy family and searching for talents from all over the world falls on the public, what is your meaning?" β
When Chen Zhen heard this, he quickly got up and took a step back, bowed his head and saluted: "Since the King of Beihai has been entrusted with a heavy task, he really dares not to die!" "Just kidding, this is to give him the responsibility of discovering talents, and the talents he recommends, he will have the grace of knowing in the future, and of course, the people he recommends will be responsible for problems in the future. In any case, this is both a responsibility and an honor, how can he not be grateful.
At this time, Xiahou Ying seemed to have finally come back to his senses, and suddenly interjected: "Since the country has been established, the capital of the country is a drama county?" Instant Moye? β
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other at a loss. That's right! Where should we put the capital of the country? Xia Houying's worries are not difficult to understand, he is a Jimo family, the so-called homeland is difficult to leave, and it is normal for him to be reluctant to give up Jimo's family property. Zhao Min and others have no family drag, so naturally there is no problem of their homeland, but they also have concerns: Beihai was actually the first country to be placed, the chief executive was called the minister of state, and the capital of the country was set in Yingling. It took Jiatong four years to restore the country as a county, and the county was set in the drama, which is today's drama county, which is a little more than a hundred years ago. Now that it is back as a country, it is very particular about where this country is determined.
For the sake of convenience, of course, it is no problem to set up the national capital in Juxian County, but it is the nest that Lu Xu has been operating for many years, God knows what is greasy, Zhao Min always feels uncomfortable when he thinks about it, as if the odometer of buying a new car is not zero, although he knows that there is no problem, but he is always a little greasy in his heart; Of course, it is okay to move back to Yingling, but the place in Yingling is not as good as the countryside of Jimo, the scholars are extremely strong, and all kinds of wealthy families have been operating for a long time, and the relationship is intertwined, and it is really not easy to easily open up a situation in that place; As for the new capital of Jimo, of course, it is the most worry-free, but Jimo can only be regarded as a second-rate county in Beihai, not to mention the small people in the city, even the family can't take it, as the capital of a country, the face must not look good.
It's a headache to think about this, just thinking about what to do after opening the mansion, but I forgot about this troublesome matter. Zhao Min shook his head and sighed: "The matter of Dingdu is very important, and it is not too late to decide in a hurry that there may be omissions, or to gather everyone after returning to Jimo, and brainstorm and discuss." β
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and said yes, it is really not appropriate for a few people to make a decision on such a major matter. At this time, Shao Qi, who had been standing behind Zhao Min, suddenly said: "The talent just mentioned, it is easy to find a reader of the scriptures and history, but it is difficult to find the Zhu Zai of Xiaolile!" β
Zhao Min was shocked, what he said was right! There are people reading everywhere, where is Kelile? Only royalty has it! Ordinary people don't talk about it, ordinary families can't and don't dare to have fun casually, that's against the rules! Only high-ranking officials with a distance of more than 1,000 koku were qualified to set up ceremonial music in their homes, so it was also a status symbol in this era when they set up a banquet at home. However, with the gradual collapse of the imperial platform, the minds of the powerful officials in various places gradually turned to strengthening their own strength and consolidating their rule, and they also paid attention to the increasingly scarce way of etiquette and music; Later, there was such a thing as a red scarf ****, and everyone was even less interested in paying attention to such trivial things that were not beneficial to themselves. Therefore, in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, there are still complete talents and products of ritual and music training, only in the center of the entire Xia Dynasty, among the royal family.
Shao Qi said: "Maybe you can play and ask for help from the heavenly family, after all, the Beihai King is also a royal matter!" β
Before Zhao Min could reply, Meng Hou on the side rushed to say: "No!" If the Heavenly Family really helps the wish of the King of the North Sea, the personnel funded by the Heavenly Family must accompany him when the decree is announced; Now there is no one to be seen, or unwilling to do it, or disdainful to do it, or for the sake of a test. Therefore, it is not advisable to play it rashly, at least not immediately. β
Chen Zhen frowned when he heard this: "As far as I know, when the country is founded, when the country is founded, it is necessary to reward and sacrifice to the heavens, and it is necessary to have a full set of rituals and music. β
Meng Hou hesitated for a moment, and said to Zhao Min: "Hou knows one person, or he can take on this responsibility." However, this human nature is very perverse and unruly, although he has an old relationship with Hou, he may not be willing to obey; Therefore...... Dare to love the king of the North Sea deignant to invite him, or he can do it all. β
Zhao Min looked down on what kind of face and the like, so he didn't have any idea about Meng Hou asking him to invite people in person, but he was very curious about who wanted such a big face? So he said, "Yes." But who is it? β
Meng Hou rolled his eyelids, rubbed his two hands subconsciously, and then said expectantly: "Therefore, it is too often Zheng Da Zheng Que Zhigong." β
When everyone heard this, their hands trembled, and their hearts said, "It turned out to be him!" β
PS: Where do you say the capital of the country is? Choose one of three!
(Before you know it, it's a hundred chapters!) That's a good number, which means that the book has three chapters! And just calculated, this book is exactly 300,000 words by this time, isn't it very auspicious? Anyway, the old horse is quite kind, the basic chapters are more than three thousand, for the sake of the old horse's diligence, is it another recommendation? οΌ
