Chapter 364: A New Dynasty and a New Atmosphere
Zhang Zhenan knew at that time that he would give amnesty to the world, which was what the new monarch should do in order to show his benevolence, but he would not let go of those wicked people so easily, so at that time, he took advantage of the time to purge the rebels everywhere and strangle corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and by the way, he also cleaned the cell.
Some people who really committed big crimes naturally killed and killed, and some of the people who were wronged back then, he also appeased them one by one, telling them that the court would re-examine the case at that time, and they would definitely be returned to their innocence.
Because An Xiu'er's wood and stone caravans are all over Daqi, and there are An Xiu'er's businesses in many cities, among the people, there will always be a lot of voices, who is loyal and who is traitorous, and it is probably possible to distinguish clearly, but there are very few cases of manslaughter.
Fang Yuan also had a secret guard, he gave Zhang Zhen'an a small notebook at that time, which recorded the people who should be killed, but Zhang Zhen'an not only read what was written in the notebook, but also listened to what the people said, and asked An Xiu'er the people of the wood and stone caravan, before he killed someone, he would also talk to these officials, listen to what they said, so as to decide whether they deserved to die.
When Emperor Fang Yuan took office, he promulgated a series of measures, and he clearly proved the laws of the imperial court, and no longer let the laws and regulations of the imperial court become a dead letter.
In addition, he personally invited talented people who lived in seclusion in various places, and asked the people to recommend virtuous and loyal people to re-seal the office.
Over the years, Enke of the imperial court has been guarded by some traitors, although there is Enke, but it is in name only, they are talented and moneyless people, they can't pass the exam at all.
Nowadays, in the new dynasty and new atmosphere, the examiners are all respected virtues, and these students no longer worry about the dirtiness in them, and only impress the examiners with their true talents and learning, how can this not make them boil?
An Ronghe also took the exam this year, he calculated, and he had been reading books for seven or eight years, and An Xiuer planned to let him try his talents.
In fact, he doesn't have to take the exam, if he wants to be an official, there must be a place for him in the court, but the little guy has ambition, and he insists on going to the imperial examination and becoming an official through his own strength.
An Xiu'er can only be left to him, that year, he was admitted to the lifting of people, the following year, he passed the examination to become a jinshi, in the temple examination he was questioned by the current saint when he talked eloquently, became the champion.
This is a great honor for others, but An Ronghe's heart is indifferent.
He felt that there was nothing remarkable about being a mere champion, even when he met the emperor, he was just an ordinary heart, because the emperor was a good friend of his aunt, and he knew that this throne, if his uncle wanted to do it, it would not be the turn of the current emperor.
And the reason why he wants to be an official is just because in his eyes, there is no challenge in doing business, who has made their family rich and rivals the country, and now the imperial treasury is empty, and the bribes of the court officials are still provided by themselves.
He couldn't get training in the business field, and he didn't feel interesting, just right, at this time, the court was in ruins, and he felt that he was above the court and could give full play to his strength.
As for Fang Yuan, An Ronghe came to the scientific expedition, he didn't give a champion, it was too much to say, not to mention, in the past two years, An Xiuer and Zhang Zhenan had no intention of interfering in the imperial court, and everything was handled by him.
When he was not the emperor, he had already imagined everything, and he had already prepared the officials who could be replaced, so he was not panicked in his heart for two years in office, but just did what he wanted in an orderly manner.
But the only thing that worries him is the matter of several cities in the south of the Yangtze River, he thinks he has a long-term vision, but he is not as good as An Xiu'er, An Xiu'er said when he used a strategy to move those refugees to the south, one day, he will want to break his head for the matter of immigration, and when the time comes, he wants to immigrate, and the people will not be willing.
Now, he is facing this situation, the people are not willing to immigrate at all, even if they are exempted from paying taxes for three years, they are still unwilling to pass, there is no way, he can only let people invite An Xiu'er.
An Xiu'er had expected this for a long time, and when Fang Yuan came to invite her, she smiled and said, "My emperor, how is it, I said it again, right?" ”
Although Fang Yuan is now the emperor, An Xiu'er has never groveled in front of him, only treats him as before, Fang Yuan didn't care about An Xiu'er's behavior, but still said very kindly: "My good niece, good friend, you can help me solve it, I know, this matter is just a gesture for you." ”
In front of An Xiu'er, he didn't have any scruples, and even his tone was very soft, pretending to be a little girl, if Fang Yuan's ministers saw it, he would definitely drop his jaw, you know, Fang Yuan is very serious on weekdays.
Even An Xiu'er couldn't stand Fang Yuan's set, she had no choice but to agree, and said, "Don't worry, this matter is on me." ”
After going back, An Xiu'er began to drum up the matter of immigration, in her opinion, there is nothing in the world that money can't do, and I'm very embarrassed that she has a lot of money now, so much that it is countless, she not only has more fields, but also more land, and now Fang Yuan asked her to help immigrate, and she took the lead in buying the excess land of those cities in the south.
Then she returned to the populous cities and told the people that she only needed to pay 10% of the rent to lease her land, and that the taxes of the imperial court were exempt from paying for three years.
Yicheng's rent, this is not equivalent to free farming, the wood and stone caravan has a good reputation, and everyone is not afraid of her breaking the contract, although many people don't want to leave their hometowns, but more people are willing to go to farming.
An Xiu'er also said that there was a blacksmith prepared over there, and the farm tools had already been built for them, and the seeds had been prepared, and they only needed to go to the individual, and the paperwork would be signed here, and each person would have ten acres of land, and only one percent of the rent would be collected, and if they still wanted to cultivate more and cultivate more land, they would have to pay fifty percent of the rent.
Hearing this, everyone was even more boiling, this is a limited amount, they were afraid that there would be no land by then, so they all signed ten acres of land to cultivate, An Xiuer heard about this situation, and couldn't help but smile.
Zhang Zhenan saw the smile on the corner of her mouth and said, "You are really cunning." ”
"How can I be called cunning? I'm calling it a way. An Xiuer said with a smile.
People have such a mentality, one is to conform to the herd, and the other is that if she says that there is no limit, they don't want to go, and if she says that it is limited, everyone will rush to go.
"By the way, Zhen'an, when are you going to restore your true identity?" An Xiuer asked Zhang Zhen'an.
Zhang Zhenan shook his head and said, "I don't plan to restore my true identity." ”
An Xiu'er looked up at him, and he said: "I like my current life, anyway, my father and mother are dead, why should I have to restore my former identity?" Zhenping now takes care of the Zhang family very well, it doesn't matter if I have it or not, the former Zhang family no longer has the slightest meaning to me, I think the current life is very good. ”
"Assume that from the moment I jumped off the cliff, I would be dead." He looked at An Xiu'er and said, "Now standing in front of you is a brand new me, he is no longer Zhang Zhenan, he is Yuan Tiancheng." ”
"Okay, then I'll call you heaven in the future." An Xiu'er smiled and said: "The name they gave you is really good, it is determined by heaven, and it comes naturally, isn't it the case that we are taking this step now?" ”
"You're right." Zhang Zhenan nodded, but his expression was a little ugly, and he sighed leisurely.
An Xiu'er asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Just remembered something." Zhang Zhenan said.
"I'm afraid you didn't remember something, you remembered some people." An Xiu'er gave him a blank look.
"Don't be careful." Zhang Zhenan hurriedly said.
"I don't have much heart." An Xiu'er smiled, walked over, looked up at him, and said, "After so many things, do you think I am still that cautious girl?" What's more, I completely trust you, but she has helped you before after all, so I have actually been helping you inquire about her for a few days. ”
When Zhang Zhenan heard this, he looked at An Xiu'er, he knew who An Xiu'er was referring to, he thought that An Xiu'er must hate her very much, but he didn't expect her to be willing to help him find her.
"You think you sent someone to inquire about him in private, I don't know? But where are the people under your command who are the ones who inquire about the news? My people have already heard about her, and she went to Nanzhao.
"What is she doing there with a girl?" Zhang Zhenan asked worriedly.
"Nanzhao, you should have been there before, there are beautiful scenery, open folk customs, and there are many witch doctors and mysterious witchcraft, she goes there like a fish in water." An Xiuer replied.
Zhang Zhenan nodded, but his face was a little worried.
An Xiu'er said: "I know, she is your sister, you don't worry about her in that kind of place, I have already brought her back." ”
"Really?" Zhang Zhenan's tone was still flat, but there was a little more joy.
"Of course it's true, am I going to lie to you?" An Xiu'er smiled at him and said, "Haven't you always wanted to find a good home for her?" I think, what do you think of marrying her to Fang Yuan? ”
"Holy today?" Zhang Zhenan looked at An Xiu'er.
An Xiu'er nodded and said: "Of course, she was accused of marrying Mu Qian's third son that day, but in the end, she ran away from the marriage on the wedding day and disappeared. ”
"Yes, yes, madam, you are like a god." Zhang Zhenan hurriedly said.
