Chapter 146: Talent

Food prices are still falling.

Finally gave the imperial court a breathing space.

Therefore, the Emperor of the Apocalypse summoned hundreds of officials to confide his thoughts, and in the next year or two, he will do his best to help the people survive.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse actually wanted to include the displaced people in the military household and allow them to move to the capital, but this time it caused a lot of discussion among the ministers.

Many ministers have expressed concern.

This is tantamount to transferring the pressure of Guanzhong to the capital, how many displaced people there will be, no one knows, once there are too many displaced people, a rush into the capital, what will happen to the capital?

In addition, how to solve so much food?

Especially the minister who was born in Guanzhong has a lot of complaints about this.

Because even if the price of grain falls, there is no grain in Guanzhong, and the gentry there are waiting to take this opportunity to make a profit.

Take out a small part of the grain, open a warehouse for relief, and the court will generally give a reward, which is a public benefit.

The people can't survive anymore, so they have to sell their land at a low price or borrow money, which is another layer of benefit.

Manpower is not valuable in disaster years, and there is room for improvement in terms of tenant rent, which is the third layer of benefits.

But now, the people are allowed to migrate, and the victims know that there is food in the capital, so they can pay it back, and they don't run away like crazy.

At that time, the young and strong people in Guanzhong have run away, and there are few people in the land, and the land price will plummet, which means the depreciation of assets.

In the coming year, the spring ploughing could not find manpower, and the tenants were not well recruited, and if the tenant rent was not preferential, how to maintain production, which was another disadvantage.

All in all, this is a matter of harm but not benefit to the gentry in Guanzhong.

Therefore, the court was extremely controversial, and the opposing ministers believed that this would cause a lot of burden on the court and destroy the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu Gao.

Of course, there are also some supporters, such as Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong said that this move was very appropriate, and issued a warning that if the homeless people have no hope, they will become rogues, and the rogues will cause great harm when they sack Guanzhong.

This sentence is obviously aimed at the gentry in the gate, you only think about the immediate interests, have you ever thought that you are really forcing the people to be anxious, they first want your heads to fall to the ground.

But for the gentry, or for many ministers, they obviously don't see it that way, and over the years, there have been disasters for nothing, haven't they all survived safely? Why do you think that there will be a disaster this year?

Huang Liji, a scholar of the first assistant university in the cabinet, was playing dead.

That's right.

He pretended to be dead again.

With such a big controversy, he decided to look at the direction of the wind first.

Until the fourth court meeting, the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw that the ministers couldn't make sense, and it was not a way to discuss the court again and again, and if it was delayed any longer, even if everyone nodded in the end, the matter would be yellow.

This Emperor of the Apocalypse is the age of the flesh and blood, gritting his teeth with anger, but many ministers have words again, they use various reasons, expounding the harm, the Emperor of the Apocalypse can't say anything, and he is emotionally upset for a while, and cries urgently: "What are the secretaries?" Emperor Taizu Gao has been more than 200 years so far, although the law of the ancestors must be observed, but it cannot be completely inflexible, whoever argues again today, I will not stop the dynasty......"

Seeing this, Huang Liji immediately knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was angry, so he didn't hesitate anymore.

When the wind saw it, he immediately bought it and left, bowed to the ground, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty's relief move, the minister has thought about it for a few days, and feels that there is something to be done, so ...... The minister seconded. ”

With the support of Huang Liji, he finally suppressed the opposition.

Immediately afterwards, the imperial court issued an edict, but there was no trouble.

The reason why I have to consult with the ministers is that there is no way to do it, and I will directly issue an edict and send it to the cabinet, and if the cabinet does not agree, it may be refuted.

Even if the cabinet pinched its nose and agreed and sent it to the ministries for execution, the ministry might refute the decree in the course of the ministry's offer.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse made a fuss like this, and it spread to the outside of the palace, and I don't know who it was, and began to spread jokes about the Emperor of the Apocalypse, saying that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was messing around, I don't know if he heard the words of the traitor again, and actually violated the ancestral system and moved the victims to Beijing.

This isn't a complete faint king, what is it?

I don't know who spread such gossip, anyway, they have noses and eyes, and they say it as if it's true, and there are a few people in Shilin who write poems and jokes, of course...... It's mostly some obscure poems, if not, I'm afraid that the factory guard will come to the door.

Naturally, the anger and sadness of the Emperor of the Apocalypse could not last long, and soon he was happy again.

Originally, Wei Zhongxian was still cautious, for fear that His Majesty would be in a bad mood these days and anger His Majesty.

But who knows, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't sleep all night, neither went to riding and shooting, nor went to fencing, but locked himself in the Qinzheng Palace, and wrote for half a night, Wei Zhongxian was sleepy, and it was not easy to disturb.

waited until the third watch, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse snorted and said, "Okay, it's finally done, oops...... Tossed me for half a night...... Now it's finally another matter, Wei Banban, Wei Banban, this thing...... Seal it and send it to Zhang's family tomorrow. ”

Wei Zhongxian was curious, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse had stuffed the densely written, thousand-word letter into the letter sleeve, and he didn't dare to open it, so he smiled and said, "Your Majesty is tired, it's time to go to bed." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse stretched his waist and snorted again, before he said: "I'm sleepy, I just can't finish my heart, I can't be idle, I'm worried about my hard life, you remember, I will send it tomorrow morning." ”

Wei Zhongxian was busy, muttering in his heart, putting things away.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse went to bed without mentioning it.

…………

As soon as Zhang Jing heard that the edict had finally been issued for the disaster relief, she was finally relieved.

In fact, he himself doesn't know if this multi-pronged relief will still cause the disaster of displaced people like in history.

However, one thing can be confirmed, if he hadn't crossed over to become a Jinyi guard, if he was just a peasant in Guanzhong, according to the urine nature of this court, he would be in such a world, he would have to rebel.

Now these people ...... is still enduring here, there is no news of the civil uprising, Zhang Jingyi already feels that the people in this pass are too hard-working, too kind and simple.

What the new county needs to do now is to deal with the impact of the possible arrival of a large number of displaced people in Beijing in the future.

So he was also busy for a while.

On this day, when he inspected the school, he found that a ragged and ugly-looking person came to apply.

This person was so ugly that Zhang Jingyi looked at it a few more times, and finally couldn't help but step forward and ask, "What is Mr. here for?" ”

He is called Mr. only because he wears a cheongsam.

This human: "The contemptible surname is Guan, the name is Shaoning, the word is Youcheng, I just arrived in Beijing, and I heard that Mr. is recruited here, so I came to apply." ”

Guan Shaoning......

Zhang Jingyi read these three words in his heart, and always felt that this name was very familiar.

Yes, when he was in Jiangsu in his last life, he had seen his monument in the park.

As for the deeds of his life, it seems that this person is the Tanhua of the first year of Chongzhen, that is to say, it is not surprising that this year's Enke, a person named Guan Shaoning, will take the third place in the middle school examination.

This person's family is very poor, how poor is it, he even relies on a Taoist priest to help him study.

It's just that the person called Guan Shao Ning ended very miserably, after the Qing army broke through Nanjing, he was killed because he refused to shave his hair and surrender to the Qing Dynasty, along with his three sons, wife and daughter-in-law.

"Where are you?"

"It's Nanzhili." Guan Shao Ning said.

Nanzhili is the Jiangsu of later generations, so ...... Nine times out of ten, it is that Guan Shao Ning will not be wrong.

However, Zhang Jingyi still asked according to the procedure: "What knowledge do you have?" ”

Guan Shaoning said: "The student was last year old and just won the lift. ”

The identity of the person is still very popular, but looking at his down-and-out appearance, on the one hand, he has just won the lift, on the other hand, in fact, the imperial examination has developed to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it has already become a tool for the families of poetry and books to seek fame, after all, these families pile up all the resources in order to let their children get famous, and ordinary people from poor families, even if you can study, but without the guidance of famous teachers, it is in vain.

Therefore, this Guan Shao Ning can be described as a pervert, the family is so difficult, and he can still be lifted.

Of course, even if it is a middle move, in fact, Guan Shaoning will not be taken seriously at this time, after all, ...... He has almost no social connections.

There are also high and low points, if the children of the family are raised, I don't know how many people are sought after, after all, the social relationship is in, in the local township, everyone will promote it for you, and Guan Shao Ning is different, it is estimated that few people care.

At this time, Guan Shaoning said again: "This time I entered Beijing, I want to participate in this year's Enke...... It's just that...... Just ......"

Guan Shaoning looked shy and a little unconfident: "It's just that the entanglement is insufficient, after arriving in Beijing...... A few days ago, the price of food rose again, originally in Wancheng County for two months as a coolie, after which some fellow villagers recommended students to come here, saying that the school here recruited Mr., and also provided accommodation to ensure three meals a day. ”

Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly in her heart, lying down, lifting people to the point of being a benevolent brother, which can be regarded as wonderful.

But...... People from poor backgrounds are probably like this, after all...... The social relationship is very shallow, and I don't know how to play those dignitaries, and my only specialty is reading and writing. But what, there are a lot of people in the capital, all waiting to come and try, and no one will look at you more.

Zhang Jingyi admires this Guan Shao Ning a lot, at least ...... People have not received much grace from the Ming Dynasty, with hard work, they can become Tanhua in history, even if they enter the official career, because they do not have many social relations, they have not become any high-ranking officials and nobles, but they are at least really strong, and they are many times stronger than those who are competing to surrender.
