Feng Chengping was so frightened that he was sweating profusely: "This ...... This...... Your Majesty, if this is used as a test question, the world's scholars, I'm afraid it will be ......"

Lu Chengqi smiled: "I'm afraid of what? Do you want to scold me severely? I can't ask for it! What are the drawbacks of the new deal, I am in Chang'an, and I can't see the whole country. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf someone cites the pros and cons, I will accept it with an open mind. If it's just a song of praise and praise, how can I know what this country needs and what it really needs? Feng Qing, for the country, morality first. If it is a sycophant and a person who bows his head to his ears, I will never be able to see it. If you blindly criticize the New Deal and fail to understand the essentials, I should also be crazy. Among them, the curvature must be mastered! ”

Feng Chengping was dripping in cold sweat when he heard this: "What Your Majesty said is extremely reasonable, but there are so many scholars in the world, wouldn't it be ...... if someone preaches the test questions and deliberately slanders the new policy?"

Lu Chengqi was a little surprised, it stands to reason that Feng Chengping should not be from the New Deal faction, not even the grass on the wall. Even if he never expressed his position, his protégés and former officials were all staunch opponents of the New Deal. Without his approval, would his protégé be so hardworking? No one believes it! Especially when the ten-grade official system just came out, the shouting was even more fierce. If it hadn't been forcibly pressed down by Lu Chengqi, I'm afraid that the ten-grade official system would have been in vain.

In all dynasties, the strength of the courtiers should not be underestimated. If the dynasty is dismissed, the emperor will be uncomfortable. No matter how powerful the emperor is, it is impossible for him to do everything alone, right?

This is also the best way, or the only way, for the courtiers to balance the emperor. Therefore, the emperor felt this, and did not dare to come nonsense, but also used the emperor's technique, pulling one faction, fighting one faction, and neutralizing another faction. Where is there such a good emperor, if you meet a tenacious courtier, you have the heart to jump into the river. Lu Chengqi is not afraid of traitors, and traitors are watched by the Supervision Department. If such a loyal minister is like Li Ran in the imperial history, he can't wait to meet and hide aside. These loyal ministers are extremely mediocre people (the meaning of the mean is not the grass on the wall, but the middle is not partial, it is not easy to be mediocre, and it is not easy to strengthen your own beliefs), if you debate, you have to obey his wishes. Of course, in front of the emperor, they don't dare to make too much of a mistake, if they are debating with their colleagues, hehe, that scene is happy to think about.

"Facts speak louder than words, as long as the new deal makes Dashun's national strength flourish, what if I am burdened with some infamy?" Lu Chengqi said indifferently, but he remembered that in a few decades, the Jin soldiers would come over. He is only eighteen years old now, if according to the calculation of later generations, he is only seventeen years old, and he is lucky enough to live in a few decades, wouldn't it be another Song Huizong?

Every time he thought about this, Lu Chengqi was scared into a cold sweat. After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, in addition to burning, killing and looting, the Jin soldiers captured Song Huizong, Song Qinzong's father and son, as well as a large number of Zhao royal families, harem concubines, Guiqing, courtiers, etc., a total of more than 3,000 people went north to the Jin Kingdom, and the public and private savings in Tokyo were empty. The shame of Jingkang led to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty and deeply pierced the hearts of the Han people. As a Han Chinese, Lu Chengqi became the emperor by chance, how can he let this history repeat itself?

Feng Chengping looked at the little emperor standing upright in front of the dragon case, and for the first time felt as if he really carried the entire court and the entire nation on his shoulders. Seriously, if two years ago, he didn't believe that the treasury could reach 80 million yuan. But under the leadership of Lu Chengqi, he easily broke through 80 million. Everyone thinks that the little emperor is too young, and his ideas are all wrong. As everyone knows, after the actual implementation, there are few mistakes and omissions. It is true that the local state governments have supervision departments to supervise, and the enthusiasm is much higher. But think about it, why is the little emperor so sure that the new policy can be successful?

Lu Chengqi will tell him that this is the result of more than a thousand years of knowledge accumulation? "Hehe, guess slowly, I just want to engage in a personality cult and let the people of Dashun treat me like a god!" seemed to see Feng Chengping's thoughts, Lu Chengqi thought "viciously" in his heart, "Do you think I will fail like Wang Anshi and Fan Zhongyan?" Hehe, so naïve. I don't believe it, if you insist on two generations, what can you civil officials do with the new policy! Speaking of two generations, it seems like I don't even have a son......"

Feng Chengping stood up tremblingly, held the notebook, and said: "Since Your Majesty has already set the test questions, the minister will retire first, and the Gongyuan is still waiting for ......."

Lu Chengqi didn't seem to hear it, and hummed the word "um" in his nose, Feng Chengping slowly bowed down and withdrew from the vertical arch hall, Lu Chengqi muttered: "The hormones of adolescence seem to be gushing out...... I have to say that Feng'er's figure is really good, and that Jinxuan's ...... Eh, why do I think of her again, do I really have feelings for her? ”

Inside and outside the Qixia Gate of Chang'an City, there are many pedestrians. Chang'an is the capital of Dashun, with a permanent population of more than 500,000 households, and if you count it according to a household of three people, there are as many as 1.5 million people. Not to mention the people from the suburbs, anyway, Chang'an City is no longer inferior to the population of some second- and third-tier cities in the later generations.

At this time, two carriages slowly drove outside the Qixia Gate, and the lanterns on the carriages had the word "Wang" written on them. Needless to say, these two carriages must be from the Wang family.

Not to mention that the style of this carriage is ordinary, it is inlaid with gold and jade, and it attracts the attention of pedestrians at most. In Chang'an City, if you smash a stone, you can hit a person with a lot of money. Even those with a lot of property are considered poor in Chang'an City. Don't you ask, how expensive is the current land price in Chang'an City? When you get out of a house with a yard, you have to be at least 10,000, and it's not a prosperous area! This is still the policy of the imperial court to curb land prices, otherwise the current land price in Chang'an will be able to speculate more than 100,000 yuan for unscrupulous businessmen!

Dashun is also a very humane court, and it has always done a lot of attention to people's livelihood. If you have a Chang'an City hukou, oh no, it's a hukou, and if you don't have a house to live in, there is also public rental housing. At this time, the public rental housing was called public housing, and the daily rent was ten cents. If there is a New Year's holiday, the rent is also free. However, this has to be divided into time periods, if the house is in short supply at the time of the imperial examination, it is a place to stay, and it often requires ten times. This is also why the family of Su Xun, the "local tyrant" in Meizhou, can't even afford a house in Chang'an, so they want to live in an official house. When Su Shi came to the capital, he could only stay in Pingshan Academy, which shows that it is general.

This official house and public house are actually the houses of the imperial court, but the official house only gives officials free living, and they are new branch jinshi, and they cannot live for more than a year. The public housing is only available to the people with Chang'an household registration for rent, and the daily rent is ten wen. If the annual rent of public housing in the previous year is calculated, a total of more than 130,000 annual rents have been collected, and there are more than 28,000 public houses in Chang'an City. The daily income of ordinary people in Chang'an City is about 100 yuan, and the daily living expenses of those who are in Chang'an City may reach 300 yuan, and the minimum daily living expenses in Chang'an City are about 20 yuan.

During the imperial examination, Chang'an City gathered thousands of candidates, and the supply and demand were extremely unbalanced, and the rent also skyrocketed, especially the house near the Gongyuan Academy, the examination center. The houses to be tested are rented in front of the tribute courtyards, although the rent of a house is not less than ten times. If you have some business acumen and open an inn in Chang'an City, you will really sit and collect money......

The people of the Wang family obviously didn't expect the rent in the capital to be so expensive, after they entered Chang'an City, they inquired all the way, and were embarrassed to find that they were originally a small rich family in Linchuan, and they couldn't afford to rent a house in Chang'an City! Because it is a house with a small courtyard, it also needs more than ten dollars a month. They have to stay in the capital for at least three months, and in addition to renting a house, they also have to eat, drink, and Lazar, where is the money enough?

"Daddy, this price is too expensive, what should I do?"

A teenager lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked anxiously. (To be continued.) )
