said last time, Duanmuzhen personally supervised the sentence and disposed of the subordinate who violated military law and national law in front of all the people of Jingyi County. Moreover, as the crown prince, Duanmuzhen personally visited all the people who were tired because of the cultivation palace, and apologized.

Now, because it is February of the 33rd year of Duanning, it is the agricultural time, Duanmuzhen personally went to the field to help the local people plough the fields and sow seeds. The local people also like him very much, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Naturally, the subordinates who followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were all good at agriculture, so they should have gone to the Shangdu Mansion to farm here. For him, since it was because of himself that these people were delayed, then he should not just make amends for his crimes with some verbal official words, but should show his sincerity.

With the passage of time, Duanmuzhen, the approachable, gentle and humble character of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, quickly became one with the people of Jingyi County. And the people of Jingyi County also kept telling His Royal Highness the Crown Prince many things that he had never heard of, so that His Royal Highness Duanmuzhen, the Crown Prince, not only knew what the people needed and wanted now, but also the people's understanding of policies and some suggestions.

Now, it is May, and Duanmuzhen has been in Jingyi County for more than three months! He has personally written a book about what he has seen and heard in Jingyi County, which is a precious treasure for him. Of course, in fact, due to the vacancy of the county guard of Jingyi County, and his father issued an edict to let him temporarily serve as the county guard, he dealt with a lot of old cases, and also executed a group of local heroes who were not afraid of evil. His impartial law enforcement is even more respected by the local people.

His personality is actually the same as his father's, he doesn't like to stay in the palace in the capital, but likes to stay with the people. Only in this way can he truly know what the people need, understand the people's suffering, and then solve it for the people.

On this day, he came to a Taoist temple on Jinhu Mountain in Jingyi County, and found an old man with fairy wind and Taoist bones in person. And his humble and pure character of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very appreciated by this old man. Therefore, he explained the classics to him, and at the same time taught him many statecraft, and also recommended many talents to him.

Duanmuzhen was deeply admired, so he thought that he could invite the old man out of the mountain, but the old man had no intention of going out of the mountain. However, because he admired him, he told the prince that he could often send someone to consult in front of him.

Duanmuzhen personally summoned these talents recommended by the old man and personally examined them. As a result, these talents are indeed very rare.

When Duanmuzhen looked at the local chronicles of Jingyi County, he knew the origin of the name of Jingyi County, which was originally because this place once had a large number of talents who were deeply versed in the study of Jingyi, but later because of the faint monarch and mediocre ministers, a large number of proud and dedicated talents in this place were very dissatisfied with the reality, so they were all hidden in the local mountains. Nowadays, Mingjun is prosperous, and the country is promising, so these talents also have the intention of entering the office, after all, these talents who have read the scriptures and righteousness all follow the words of the sage of "learning and excellence". They are not pedantic, and everyone is also in the countryside and worried about the world. They longed for Mingjun, and now that Mingjun has come out, they have all gone out of the mountain.

However, all the great talents always have some arrogance in their hearts, they don't like the so-called imperial examination, of course, this is the system of the imperial court, so they will also take the exam, but these great talents' articles are often a little cynical because they are close to the facts, and then they are arrogant in their articles, so they are not liked by the old Confucian students who invigilated the examination papers. And once they saw that their names on the list were actually ranked among those who could only write some official articles, they also abandoned the exam in anger.

Now, how could they not cheer when they could directly see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally assessing the examination? Of course, they also had a deep meaning in their hearts, that is, whether this prince of the country met their expectations?

Duanmuzhen naturally knows the minds of these talents, and in the assessment, he showed his full of talent and his own way of governing the country, as well as the many policies proposed that fit the actual situation of the people, so that these talents deeply felt that they had met their soulmates. They engaged in a series of discussions, not only about a series of policies pursued by His Majesty in the current court, but also about a series of policies about the future.

I only heard Tan Guodong speak: "His Royal Highness the Prince, when the pilgrimage abolish the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the previous dynasty, depose the redundant officials and mediocre officials, collect local private soldiers, consolidate the national capital, reward agriculture and mulberry, return the power of local salt and iron taxes to the imperial court, and build water conservancy." Now, our Chitang Empire has turned from danger to peace, and its national strength is thriving. However, His Majesty's policy is still somewhat lacking. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should also see it! Nowadays, there are still many vassal kings, and although the land they annexed without authorization has been confiscated by His Majesty, they still occupy most of the land. The gentry, though His Majesty had abolished their exemption from servitude, continued to conceal their land and the population they had been forced to sell into slavery with their families. At the same time, the land of the whole country is still hidden. If this continues, although the burden on the common people will be alleviated by His Majesty's great policies, these vassal kings and local gentry who occupy a large amount of land and do not pay taxes or pay little taxes will still intensify their encroachment on the people's fields in the future. Therefore, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can examine them strictly, all those who exploit the people and do all kinds of evil will be executed according to the law, and the land will be returned to the people. Measure the land under heaven, tax it according to the land, and count the population to restore the status of the people who were forced into slavery. Of course, there are many more specific things. However, as long as we continue to follow this general trend, it will eventually benefit the country. ”

Duanmuzhen thought carefully about this Tan Guodong's words, and he thought it was right. At this time, another talented man named Meng Qi said: "Your Highness, what Brother Tan said is true! Moreover, can the state still apportionment the land into the mu, abolish the poll tax, and at the same time collect the commercial tax, and clean up the deficit of the provinces, so as to increase the revenue of the state treasury." In addition, in Shenghai Province and Jiangnan Province, most households will raise silkworms and weave silk, can we raise and organize the local people to be enthusiastic about silk weaving, and let them increase their income, so that the state can also increase taxes. At the same time, it is necessary to once again reduce the redundancy of the state's officials and troops, and reduce the state's financial expenditure. Under this situation, the state treasury will increase more and more. When the people are rich, the country is rich. With sufficient money and food, the country can use its troops, and the unification of the world is just around the corner. ”

Duanmuzhen hasn't expressed his advice much, he actually wants to hear the advice of these great talents. Tan Guodong and Meng Jue's words are indeed true. At this time, another person named Xu Ting spoke: "Your Highness, the grass people believe that if we can dismiss the old, weak, sick and disabled in the army, streamline the army, and let them be busy with agriculture and idle for soldiers, it will not only reduce the expenditure of the treasury, but also allow the army to increase its income, which can also be regarded as a good thing! And those who don't know how to do practical things are admitted. At the same time, as a result of these years of maladministration, many officials have begun to form a party in which they will strongly oppose the views put forward by those who are not part of their party, and they will agree with the views put forward by those who are not part of their party, no matter how absurd. This is not conducive to the government of the DPRK, and many of the lessons of our previous dynasty are that because the party is the same and the party fights against differences, the state's decrees cannot be issued from the top to the top, resulting in many things being delayed. ”

"Brother Xu is right, Your Highness, although Your Majesty is now Shengming, after all, those officials who have formed a party have already been huddled. Even those officials who were deposed by His Majesty were arguing about the government at the local level. Not only did they form a party, but they also organized their local scholars to form small groups. If we indulge these useless and inactive scholars to continue like this, it will not only bring about a bad atmosphere among the country's scholars, but will also make the country face a situation where there is no talent to use. Fortunately, His Majesty has seen this clearly, and has resumed the imperial examination, which has not been held for an unknown number of years! Your Highness, the country has a large number of talents, but if the country does not respect them and does not allow them to have a place to display their talents, then they will surely be resentful. Therefore, the state should reuse talents, great talents, let them give full play to their talents, regardless of their origins, so that they can deeply feel the kindness of His Majesty and His Royal Highness, and serve the country. Your Royal Highness, the people are the foundation of the country, and the talents are the humerus of the country, and we must pay attention to them. Another young man named Peng Tingzhang said.

Looking at these talents, Duanmuzhen knew that his father had really given these people who had been living in darkness a touch of hope for the light, and they would really go out of the mountain and serve the country. There is indeed a relationship of interest in this, but it is more about the expectations of these great talents for a Ming Jun.

And his performance also made these talents deeply admired, and they will become their future courtiers.

Duanmuzhen talked with them for three days and three nights almost without sleep or food, and they chatted with each other very happily. Everyone also liked His Royal Highness the Prince's humility and approachability. In this way, they have also resolved to regard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as their future loyal monarch!

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
