Chapter 666: Turmoil

The chief officials of each ministry also served a five-year term, counting from the establishment of the shogunate in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, with a maximum of two terms. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the expiration of the term of office, if there is no other use, the chief officer will generally take up a vacant post in the Department of Education, the General Staff, and the Ministry of Supervision to serve as a supervisor or staff officer, or to serve in a military or civilian academy to give full play to his spare energy.

Wang Dou set up a new Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and in the future, there will be more diplomatic affairs, and it is necessary for this ministry to be established, and Xie Youcheng, a consolation officer of the Chinese army, will be transferred to the minister, and the Naturalization Department and the Information Department will be placed under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a colonization department will be added under the ministry.

Now all the propaganda inside and outside the house is under the control of the Information Department, the former ambassador Liu Benshen was transferred to the Ministry of Supervision, and the original Jinyi Wei Baihu was transferred back to his old job, and he also completely broke off his relationship with Wen Daxing.

He has a gloomy personality and is ambitious, and it is unclear whether he will fight with Chi Dacheng.

Of course, the positions of the personnel of the Central Military Department are only published in the military newspapers, and the information of the personnel of the Military and Political Affairs Department is also mentioned in the Times, and the resumes and job descriptions of the personnel are more or less introduced in the People's Republic of China and the Ministry of Supervision.

In particular, the details of Li Zhifen and others are in a state of high confidentiality.

……

In addition, the Xuanfu Times also publicized on a large scale, recruiting the whole people to protect the government officials, and the official evaluation system, setting up a bank, developing Mo Nan and other detailed policies.

“…… Applicants for the examination are given priority to Han nationality, but regardless of the people of industry and commerce, not limited to Xuanfu Town, anyone who has the heart of serving the country can apply for the examination...... If admitted, they will be admitted to the Xuanfu Town Civil College for three months of intensive training, learn civil affairs, and send local internships for half a year. can be converted to a full-time clerk. ”

Looking at the explanation in the newspaper, Ji Shiwei paced slowly in the room, and finally made up his mind to vigorously support his son-in-law and let everyone in the Ji clan go to the assessment.

Seeing the newspaper, Zhu Zhifeng and Wei Jingyu were relatively speechless, Wang Dou did not violate the system, there was no imperial examination, but it was even more terrible than the imperial examination. I'm afraid of Shanxi's scholars. was swept away by Wang Dou at this moment.

Wei Jingyu sneered: "Eclectic use of talents, what a king!" ”

Zhu Zhifeng hated and said: "Fish and dragons are mixed, rabble! ”

I saw the newspaper, Wu Zhi, the governor of Yanqing Prefecture. Hurried to Guanshan Academy. To the many students below who are preparing to apply for the exam, he shouted bitterly: "Those who are sons of man should think of loyalty." If you want to serve the imperial court, how can it be used by local warlords? Think again. ”

The people below were just silent, and there were thousands of troops on the road of the imperial examination. There are very few of them, and in the entire academy, how many people will be promoted in the end, or even enter the Jinshi?

Even if you get a jinshi, how difficult is it to get a real job? There are hundreds of thousands of talents in Daming Guangsheng, and how many of them are officials in the end, and in the end, they don't want to fend for themselves?

Great tomorrow disasters and man-made disasters, how can there be stability under the rule of Yongning Hou? It's better to find a stable job. Moreover, it is much easier to apply for the official examination than to participate in the imperial examination, and it is so easy to be an official, this is the first time in the national dynasty, or even thousands of years, isn't it exciting?

……

In a teahouse in Zhencheng, Lai Mancheng and Zheng Jinglun of the Sanjin Chamber of Commerce sat opposite each other, Zheng Laosi, who had become the president of the Chamber of Commerce, was even richer, and outside the silk clothes, he was wearing a luxurious fur coat, he looked at the newspaper and muttered: "Our Zheng family, it is time to have a few officials." ”

Although his two nieces are married to Gao Shiyin and Han Chao respectively, Zheng Jinglun believes that it is better for them to be in the Zheng family and have a few officials and officials.

There is a good opportunity in front of you, how difficult it is to be an official in the imperial examination, that is, the officials, and the local government is mostly controlled by the official family, so don't want to squeeze into the door when you wait for idlers.

In the town, of course Lai Mancheng would not carry the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, still shaking his signature sprinkling gold fan, pouting and saying: "It's not interesting to be an official, it's better to be in business, now under the rule of the general, we are all legally rich, haha......"

He pointed to a few paragraphs in the newspaper: "Just like the trade route of the south and the north of the desert, the contemptible people are very interested...... Look at the above, on the shore of the North Sea, that is, Su Wu Shepherd, the tribes on the Haizi side have as much fur as possible, and a single iron pot can be exchanged for a lot, but there are some red-haired ghosts who are entrenched there......"

He muttered to himself: "It's strange, isn't Hongmaoyi from the sea, why is there also one in the northwest of the grassland?" …… But it doesn't matter, if you put on some dart games, those who dare to stop them will be destroyed......"

After the last expedition outside the Saiwai, Lai Mancheng was full of interest in the plundering and trade outside the Saiwai, and he didn't pay attention to the red-haired ghosts. Their merchant groups are not vegetarians, not to mention that they can also pull in a Mongol as a pioneer.

There is a precedent for gold mines, and Lai Mancheng and others are also full of confidence in Wang Douxin, and like many businessmen, they are extremely enthusiastic about opening up outside the Saisai.

Lai Mancheng was planning to form a merchant group adventure team, and he had a name in mind: "Beihai Trading Company." ”

Confucius said: "The public is the wealth of several people, and the director is the meaning of operation." ”

Zhuangzi said: "Accumulating disadvantages and being high, combining small and big, merging and being public is the way to be a company." ”

Lai Mancheng heard that many trading companies in Guangdong are also called companies, which means gathering the wealth of many people and operating together, and it seems that he is not the first to take such a name.

……

In Shanxi Town, this newspaper also quickly spread to the Zhang family, the Shen family, the Yang family, and the Li family, causing fierce controversy within their families.

Wang Dou sent troops to raid the wealth of Jin merchants everywhere in Xuanda, these famous officials and eunuchs in Shanxi have an inextricable relationship with those merchants, although they were forced by the situation, they finally gave up on those people, but it is absolutely impossible to say that they have a good impression of Wang Dou, and they hate it to the bone, but it is just the norm.

It's just that the news of Wang Dou's large-scale recruitment of Anbei Protector officials has caused controversy among these families, and some people still insist on being inseparable from Wang Dou, and categorically refuse to allow people in the family to participate in Wang Dou's forces, but some people think that Wang Dou has become a general trend, and it may not be impossible to send some family members to participate.

They also quote what they don't understand, but Wang Dou said: "There are no eternal friends in the world, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!" ”

It is believed that the water flows to the lower places and the people go to the higher places. Wang Dou is high, and he can push the boat down the river, which is to maintain the good state of family interests, and the battle of will is just a way to take trouble.

Under the fierce quarrel, the families had to get together to discuss.

"Gong Zhang, I still need you to come out with a charter."

In a luxurious hall, they gathered in the dark, whispering and discussing.

The old voice that had appeared in the town said, "Hmph, the king thief fruit is a wolf ambition. The plotter is great...... But for the sake of the family's rich future. Why not let some children apply for the exam? Don't put your eggs in the same basket, in this regard, the ancestral family of Liaodong has done a good job. ”

Below, everyone. They all looked at this old man with admiration. When in the town. They knew this old man's hatred for Wang Dou deeply, and they were even willing to wait for the opportunity and wait for five or ten years. Wait until the day when the opportunity comes.

Now he did not hesitate to let the children of the family participate, and it was really a person who was scheming and decisive, and the family needed such a character.

But one person hesitated: "It's just that I am applying for the exam, what kind of political ...... do I need to go through in the end?" Yes, as soon as the political trial is passed, I am afraid that the children of the family will be brushed down in the end. ”

The old voice said, "It's okay, cast a wide net, there will always be fish caught ......"

In the end, the families finally agreed to let some of the children of the family apply for the examination, not to mention the different purposes of each family, that is, the families are scattered, and over the years, there are many poor children in the clan, and if they can be admitted to the officials, they can be regarded as having a way to make a living.

After all, although the imperial court often cut off food and salary, I haven't heard of any of Wang Dou's subordinates who have cut off their monthly food, and what meritorious rewards are added, which is even more exciting.

However, how to apply for the exam at that time will have to be carefully considered.

Because they analyzed that once they entered the system of Wang Dou's various ministries, once they were selected, they could only go down this road in the end, such as the Civil College, what engineering, agriculture, business, etc., have become more and more detailed.

Interlacing is like separating mountains, and you must make a careful decision on which one to apply for and which subject to apply for.

……

After the 10th day of the first lunar month, as the news spread more and more, it seemed that the whole of Shanxi was in an uproar.

The special newspaper spread everywhere, not only Shanxi, but even the scholars and ordinary people of the remaining provinces, all of whom were quite moved, which of course was the most active under Wang Dou's rule under Tunbao, and some people were packing up one after another to prepare to participate in the official assessment.

In addition, the news about the resettlement in the newspapers is also very eye-catching.

According to the above, the reclamation of Monan will be divided into several forms.

One is Shangtun, as the imperial court did in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, to encourage and protect Shangtun.

When opening the Chinese law, the nine sides also used to be prosperous in Shangtun, and the history records that many wealthy businessmen in Shanxi "self-financed, self-recruited nomads, self-reclamation of border land, self-art soybeans, self-built Duntai, self-reliance and self-reliance", forming a village, when Shangtun was prosperous, the border land was reclaimed, and the corn was stuffed to fill the dew accumulation, sparing the middle earth.

When there is a lot of grain and rice on the side, it even reaches the point where Dousu is worth three cents of silver, and the three passes of Yansui, Liaodong, Ningxia, and northern Shanxi are generally five stones of rice for every two taels of silver, and generally one or two taels of silver can buy four or five stones of rice, and the grain market in the border areas is quite prosperous.

But because Ye Qi changed the law, thinking that in the past, rice was expensive and silver was cheap, so rice was levied, and now silver and rice should be levied silver, abolishing the Kaizhong Law, and implementing the silver tax system, although the country has made a lot of profits for a while, increasing silver by more than one million taels every year, but it has also destroyed the foundation of Shangtun, and it is really a move by the government without credit for the small profits in the future.

Shangtun, in fact, is the great help of the country, Wang Dou naturally will not give up, for him, the more food, the better, not to mention that at the moment Daming is short of food everywhere, that is, the grain Chinese can't eat up, isn't there a foreign country? If you have food in your hands, you have your lifeblood.

Then there is Mintun, which is divided into several types, one is those who have the financial resources to buy land.

For example, many Han Chinese in Xuanfu Town, or wealthy gentry and merchants in various parts of Shanxi, if a family of five can own a total of no more than 150 mu or less of pasture after paying the purchase fee, and when they are allowed to abandon part of the land and live and cultivate it for five years, they can obtain the ownership of this land forever.

In terms of price, it is generally the most preferential for Han nationality, perhaps only one or two silver for several acres of land, and if you live and cultivate for three years, you can obtain the ownership of this land forever.

Of course, if the financial resources are insufficient, several can be purchased together, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs has set up a special department to manage the property rights disputes.

For the poorer homeless people, they were specially collected by the capital protectorate, and a large farm-like tunbao was established to provide rations and work collectively, and the outstanding ones could be allocated land after becoming Han Chinese.

In order to speed up grain production and obtain the required grain capital as soon as possible, Wang Douhui temporarily set up a military camp to plant with the soldiers of the Jingbian army.

After the announcement of the reclamation plan announced in the newspapers, it aroused the interest of countless people, and the people in the folk workshop were only discussing the matter. (To be continued.) )
