The ministers' sedan chair can no longer be carried inside outside the noon gate, the officials have got off the sedan chair and waited outside the noon gate, looking around, there are python robes and jade belts, high crowns are majestic, the winter morning is cold and abnormal, the officials' official clothes are covered with warm mink fur, holding a small white copper stove in their hands, standing under the felt shed, waiting to open the door.

Seeing Liu Ziguang also standing in the queue, the ministers were a little puzzled, and immediately understood that he was here to hand over the decree, this trip to Jiangnan cost the court a lot of silver, it seems that the holy family of Zhen Wubo is stronger, a lot of officials who are good at seeing the wind and making the rudder come over to congratulate Liu Ziguang, one is for his newlywed, and the other is for the success of his trip to Jiangnan, Liu Ziguang smiled and returned the salute one by one, without the arrogance of the favored ministers, and a group of imperial historians in the distance saw the situation here, and they all came out of their noses, turned around with disdain, and scolded in a low voice: " Shameless. "Five drums at noon, the door is wide open, the officials from the door of the fish into the small steps, walking on the stone road of the square, silent early morning, only the sound of light footsteps in the echo, the sky is just bright, the Yulin guards standing on both sides of the royal road on the body of the golden armor seems to be still hanging frost, the tall soldiers hold the golden gourd axe of the vermilion lacquer rod, do not squint, look ahead, the expression is solemn, everyone does not dare to make a noise, walk quickly through the Fengtian Gate, and then turn left into the Wuying Palace, the summer burned down the Fengtian Palace, the rebuilding work has been carried out, and wait for the final painting to be completed, but now can only be on the Wuying Palace, the Wuying Palace, only to hear the sound of heavenly music inside, faintly hear the Honglu Temple singing: "Shifts." The net whip sounded three times, and the internal officials took out the incense burner and burned the ambergris, and the palace ladies held palace fans, surrounded the emperor, and ascended to the throne, and the ministers were arranged on both sides of the hall according to their grades.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the throne, his expression was calm and unshocked, with a majestic bearing of the king, it seems that power can really make people mature, and in just a few months of training, he has a little bit of the prestige of the Son of Heaven, and the chief eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the chief eunuch standing next to the throne, glanced at the ministers, took a step forward, and shouted in his throat: "There is a morning performance, and there is nothing to do, and the court is retreated." Everyone didn't speak, their eyes were focused on Liu Ziguang, everyone unanimously thought that it was more appropriate for him to be the first to speak in the early dynasty, after all, the trip to Jiangnan was a bumper harvest, and everyone would be very happy, and the good start was half the success, and after the atmosphere became harmonious, the topic behind it was naturally easy to unfold.

Liu Ziguang did not disappoint everyone, and said: "Minister Liu Ziguang was ordered to patrol Jiangnan, and seized Jiangnan weaving, corruption, and grass and human life; The governor of Shanghai Province and the city of Bo Si embezzled state funds, colluded with foreign captives to plot a rebellion, and now the criminal Cao Yin is already in custody, and the criminals Cheng Liangjue and Chen Ziang are still being pursued, and it is believed that he will be arrested in a few days. ”

"Aiqing dug up two moths for Daming, and a tumor is good!" Although these things have already been reported, listening to Liu Ziguang say it with his own ears still makes Zhu Youxiao very excited, after all, Liu Ziguang was sent out by him to run errands, and he has achieved results, and the emperor also has glory.

The Jiangnan Shi clan is lined up, and the door is wrong, and ordinary people are probably either bought or collapsed in the past, and only an outlier like Liu Ziguang, who is incompatible with them, can achieve such results.

"The minister confiscated the property of the criminal minister, and seized a total of three million taels of silver, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, field properties, houses, cars and ships, and the specific details have been registered and submitted to the inner reservoir, Jiangnan weaving and rectification, the output has increased dramatically, and the quality has also improved compared with the past; After the replacement of all the officials and the re-switching, the tax and silver collected by the Shanghai Municipal Shipping Department also increased by more than 80 percent compared with the same period in previous years. Liu Ziguang then said: These figures were reported after careful accounting, which not only ensured the swelling of his purse, but also took care of the psychological criteria of the emperor and the ministers, and sure enough, the figure of three million taels made everyone very satisfied.

"Okay, Aiqing continued." Zhu Youxiao said two more good words, and his excitement was overflowing, and the serious face he pretended to be just now didn't know where he had lost it, and now he is like a child who has received New Year's money.

"The auction of the Qishuyan Machinery Factory, which is mainly based on ministers and supplemented by the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the East Factory of the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, has been completed, and a total of 1,010,000 taels of silver has been auctioned, and the money has been put into the treasury of the Ministry of Households." Liu Ziguang said calmly.

Zhongdu was in an uproar, and the auctioneers in Changzhou were not public, and the relevant personnel also received gag orders, not to disclose the auction price, so in addition to several high-ranking officials and the emperor here, most of the people heard this unbelievable astronomical amount for the first time, 10 million taels, worthy of a year and a half of taxes from the imperial court, although the Qishuyan Machinery Factory had long been confiscated, but for the imperial court, it was just a bunch of factories and broken copper and iron, far less good than cash, Liu Ziguang's move was equivalent to revitalizing the non-performing assets, and selling the backlog of old goods at a high price, so even the imperial historians who had a lot of complaints about him couldn't help but be dumbfounded at the moment, the only thing that was a little unhappy was that Wei Zhongxian did not let this auction according to his wishesWuchang Zuo's family bid took so much money from other people, and after he didn't do things well, what is the face of Father-in-law Wei, and where is his credit?

Moreover, Liu Ziguang also made his henchman Dai Yi lose so much face in public, and also slaughtered them two fans of Dongchang behind his back, Wei Zhongxian remembered this account very clearly, although his face was full of smiles now, but he was saying in his heart: Uncle Zhenwu, if you don't give face to our family, don't blame our family for stumbling you in the future...... Seeing the happy appearance of everyone, Liu Ziguang was also secretly happy, this move not only got the state-owned assets into his own name, but also earned enough fame and prestige, it was a wonderful win-win situation, he couldn't help but feel relieved that he had agreed to form an alliance with Hu Yimin, without the support of the Ministry of Household and Rishengchang, Nanchang alone would not have been able to do such a big deal.

"Aiqing has made a great contribution to my Daming, I want to reward you, well, Aiqing is newly married, I will give you twenty palace maids to serve Mrs. Yuming." Zhu Youxiao gave a strange reward, this is the idea he thought about for a long time last night, money and power, Liu Ziguang is not lacking, he can only work honor, giving palace maids is a good method, low cost, high level, mansions can use palace maids from the palace as subordinates, what a style, and these palace maids are all selected from all over the country, and after strict training by the Internal Affairs Office, appearance, figure, doing things, and speaking are all first-class, whether it is really used as a maid or a wife, it is a good choice.

"Thank you for your grace." Liu Ziguang kowtowed, thanked him, and returned to the original class to patrol the Jiangnan mission, even if the merit was completed, it was over.

After Liu Ziguang returned to class, Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the cabinet and the secretary of the ministry, went out of the class to report the latest situation of the Qiuqiu incident to the emperor, and as a representative of Jiangnan officials, the chief examiner of the examination, of course, did not want the unreasonable demands of those northern candidates to be satisfied, if he promised them to retake the exam, it would be an admission of fraud in the exam, and wouldn't it be a slap in the face.

Therefore, after stating the situation, he once again emphasized his proposition, and asked the candidates to suppress the troublemakers and keep the original list unchanged.

Qian Qianyi is really fearless in doing this, because this examination is basically fair, and the foundation of those northern students is indeed not as solid as that of southern candidates, especially the eight articles made by the young talents from their Donglin Academy are absolutely flawless, even if they send personnel to check again, they can't find any fault.

"Bombing the candidates, you must not do it, this move will definitely chill the hearts of the students in the world to serve the country, just imagine that they have traveled thousands of miles from the north under foreign rule to the capital to participate in the autumn season, not only all the names of Sun Shan will also be arrested by the officers and soldiers, what is the use of such a disposition in addition to making the relatives sad and the happy?" The first person to stand up against Qian Qianyi was Tai Changqing Zuo Maodi, who was born in Denglai, Shandong, with a hard bone and was not afraid to sing against the cabinet at all, which couldn't help but make Liu Ziguang look at this person with admiration.

After Zuo Maodi, some officials from the north came out to oppose it, but they couldn't come up with any good plans, so the situation in the court was still controlled by Qian Qianyi's Jiangnan officials.

Zhu Youxiao saw that the heat was almost there, coughed lightly, and Wei Zhongxian immediately stopped everyone's argument loudly, announcing that the emperor had something to say.

"I received an excerpt yesterday, which wrote the method of solving this case, and listed it as a minister, so you might as well come and listen to it and see if there is anything unique. Xiao Weizi~~" Wei Zhongxian bowed his head and said that he obeyed the order, and then picked up a copy of the book from the dragon book case, and read it up, this recital is the new civil service examination method proposed by Liu Ziguang, but it has been re-polished and supplemented by the eunuch Bingbi, and some new ideas of Zhu Youxiao have been added, which seems to be more perfect.

After listening to Wei Zhongxian's reading, the hall was silent, everyone was savoring this new set of methods, the so-called "Shen Lun" and the Song Dynasty policy theory is no different, all of them are to let the candidates write their own statecraft, the so-called "Administrative Ability Test" focuses on the examination of the candidates' adaptability and judgment ability, and the "Basic Knowledge" It is to consider the general common sense of the candidates, in order to eliminate those nerds who do not distinguish between grains and grains, in all fairness, this is really a set of almost perfect examination methods, but the officials with Qian Qianyi are well aware of the level of the candidates in Jiangnan, they have learned all the eight strands of literature in the past ten years, and the so-called two ears do not hear the affairs of the world, and only read the sages and sages, for the knowledge outside the eight strands, they know very little, if they really take the additional test according to this set of methods, I am afraid that there will not be too many people on the list.

"Ridiculous." A minister came out of class and said. This person is the father of the four sons of Jiangnan, Fang Yu, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

Of course, the protagonist is not Y, but he thinks that when he gets married, he is too ordinary. Drugs have a time limit, they expire in a year, and they are coming soon, so many beauties are not prepared for nothing.
