Since His Majesty is not in the county, of course he has to look for it.

Zhang Tao, the county lieutenant, led a group of people and inquired anxiously.

Soon, they learned that His Majesty had gone to Liu's house.

So the group hurried to Liu's house, and saw that at this time, it was in full swing.

In this place of Liu's family, there was originally a gentry named Liu Wenhui, but he had been arrested and taken to Nanjing City. The family has long been in a panic.

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse arrived here, he immediately called the chief, who trembled, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked about the number of acres here, and the chief reported it.

It is a total of 19,200 acres.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse took the number of taxable acres copied in the county here, and immediately gave an order, and the people up and down were already busy.

He's going to recount the number of acres here.

At this moment, the chief was already panicking.

But I saw that the Emperor of the Apocalypse took off his gray coat, rolled up his sleeves and began to move.

The students also went down the ridge one after another.

This naturally aroused many onlookers from local villagers, but everyone did not dare to approach and did not know what was going on.

Zhang Jingyi seemed to understand what the Emperor of the Apocalypse meant, but he also began to measure it in a hurry.

They set foot on every inch of Liu's house and recorded the data everywhere.

In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, the taxed fields are limited, almost all the taxed land, from the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, but for more than two hundred years, these lands through similar means such as fame, how much tax exemption, or the newly opened land, how much hidden land, that only God knows.

However, in the eyes of the imperial court, there are indeed only 19,200 acres of land, not much for one acre, but not a lot for one acre.

At first, everyone didn't know how to measure, but when they invited a local person to give them some guidance, they got busy with the rope.

When the county lieutenant Zhang Tao arrived with a group of people, he was stunned when he looked at the scene in front of him.

They looked at each other, so they had to obediently get off the ridge and kneel down in the mud: "I have seen Your Majesty, and the ministers are late to greet ......you."

Zhang Jing glanced at him: "You recognized the wrong person, Your Majesty is there." ”

"Ah......" Zhang Tao was stunned.

So he hurriedly ran to the other end of Zhang Jingyi's rope and knelt down again: "Wait for ...... minister"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse grinned at him, then said, "Get out of the way, don't bother." ”

Call......

It's not a faint king, then hell.

Zhang Tao was so embarrassed for a while that he didn't know what to do.

You can't just sit by and watch Your Majesty work.

Thereupon...... After thinking about it again, he found a few more officials to whisper, and then he also took the rope and went to the other side to measure.

On this day, I was really hungry, and I was pampered on weekdays, so many people felt that they couldn't straighten their waists.

This measurement is almost done, and the number is added, and it is calculated.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at the book, his eyes widened more and more, and then he said angrily: "Thirty-seven thousand two hundred and thirty acres, in this way, where did the extra eighteen thousand acres come from?" ”

The chief was called, and his face was already green with fright, so he had to kowtow hurriedly and said truthfully: "Your Majesty...... The villain is dead, this ...... This...... These are all the fields hidden by the Liu family......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said coldly: "The land hidden by his Liu family, you are the chief, don't you know?" In my opinion, you are all in cahoots, let alone ...... This Liu family also used the so-called fame to reduce a large number of taxes, this calculation, he is a Liu family, less than 25,000 acres of taxes, on weekdays, these dogs are not barking all day long with heavy taxes? Dare them not pay taxes! ”

The lieutenant chief was so frightened that he just kowtowed: "The villain is dead." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse had more and more coldness in his eyes, and said: "Everyone has seen it, this is what he said, he himself said that he would die, it can be seen that I have not wronged him, and someone has come...... Take down the chief here, and exile the whole family to Liaodong! ”

When the chief heard this, he felt that his eyes were dark and he was about to faint.

But a few students who were waiting by him directly set him up and dragged him away.

The chief woke up like a dream, and hurriedly called out again: "The villain is wronged...... Wronged......"

Someone sifted tea for the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Zhang Jingyi, and both of them drank it, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse still didn't understand his hatred, and scolded: "It's really something that is inferior to pigs and dogs, a group of people are complicit, deceiving the superiors and subordinates, do you really think that I am deaf and dumb?" ”

Zhang Jingyi was in a rather happy mood at this time, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is angry, this person is exiled, why are you angry about this?" It just so happens that as soon as the Liu family checks it, the land can be divided, so that the people get the land, and the court has more taxes, isn't everyone happy? ”

That Zhang Tao and the officials below were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, they saw the fate of the chief here, this is really moody, if you are not careful, it is to directly send Liaodong.

When they thought of the ghost place in Liaodong, Zhang Tao and the others were already scared.

They trembled one by one, until this time, Zhang Jingyi seemed to think of them, and Zhang Jingyi raised his hand and lit this Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao's face changed suddenly, and his mood was probably constantly silent: You can't see me, you can't see ......

I saw Zhang Jing: "Your Majesty, this person is the county lieutenant of this county, called Zhang Tao, this Zhang Tao is a native of Shandong, is a man from a lifting background, in his hometown in Shandong, there are thirty-two families, and it is not a small family, because it is just a person, so the election officer only chose a county lieutenant, he also has a brother, I heard that he has also been a talented man, oh, yes, he is a lucky person, he gave birth to a total of seven children, all of them are men, what a lot of sons......"

Zhang Jingyi said like a spring breeze, but Zhang Tao seemed to have appeared in his original form all of a sudden, like sitting on pins and needles, and his heart chuckled suddenly, why did this Zhang Du ...... to him So clear?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "There are so many children, it's a pity to cut them."

Zhang Tao: "......"

Zhang Jingyi's voice said: "Your Majesty, he didn't commit any crimes, after all, he was transferred to this county only last year, and he is a county lieutenant, and the local gentry look down on him, and in Nanjing City, he has nothing to do with it, unlike the damn county order and county officials." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded: "It's no wonder that he wasn't taken." ”

With that, he beckoned to Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao only felt that he couldn't take a step, as if he was ...... It's like going to the execution ground, but I also know that I can't stay still.

So he timidly moved to the front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Zhang Jingyi, and saw that both of them were looking at him with a smile.

Zhang Tao was full of fear, and bowed down after a puff: "Your Majesty......"

Emperor Apocalypse said: "Just now you followed the measurement of the land, but it was also hard, I see that you are a real person, I like real people, what we lack most in the Ming Dynasty is precisely a capable official like you, you are very safe, this Zhang Qing family also praised you." In this way, although you have no merit this time, you also have hard work, and from today onwards, I will make you the county commander of this county and take office immediately. ”

"As for the matter of clearing the fields in the county...... We must hurry up and do it, and there is a matter of dividing the fields, and we must not delay, this year is about to pass, and we will have spring ploughing in the coming year, so don't delay the agricultural time, this place, just a village, has hidden so many fields, it can be seen that these people are crazy to what extent, and in this county, how many such villages are there? ”

Zhang Tao listened, and a hanging heart finally landed, but the whole person was dizzy and fluttering.

I actually ...... I've been promoted.

He is indeed just a lifter, and there is no hope of continuing to try, knowing that he will not be able to get into the Jinshi, so he has no choice but to come out to be an official.

However, to raise people to be officials, you have to put down the imperial examination first, in addition, you also need to go to the Ministry of Officials to select officials, to put it bluntly, you have to line up, and you finally get to yourself, but it can never be a good errand, Jinshi is generally directly put a county or county order, and it is miserable to raise people, either the main book, or the county lieutenant like him, or the county school official.

Basically...... If you are lucky enough to stay up for ten years, eight years, or even twenty or Chinese New Year's Eve years, you may have the opportunity to be a county magistrate or a magistrate, and then go up...... That's almost impossible.

In this era, the most important thing is the background, the jinshi are divided into three, six, nine and so on, the first and second class jinshi have a bright future in the future, and the third class jinshi can only be sent to the local government as a magistrate, as for lifting people...... There are very few that can stand out.

This Zhang Tao really couldn't have dreamed that he would be promoted directly, and ...... It is a direct promotion from the ninth grade to the seventh grade, no...... To be precise, from the six products!

Because this is a county under the jurisdiction of Yingtianfu and belongs to the category of Jing County, the grade will be extraordinarily high.

Zhang Tao was sincerely frightened, but he suddenly felt happy.

Honestly, who wouldn't want to be an official?

Being a county lieutenant in the county, he is bitter, arresting thieves every day, looking at the faces of the first few people everywhere, and there is almost no future at all, where can he be promoted to the county order...... Become a parent of one party, not to mention, maybe...... There will be a career in the future.

Zhang Tao was overjoyed, and immediately kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Jingyi smiled at him and said: "Do it well, do things well, Your Majesty will not forget you, don't forget, this Nanjing city ...... There are many vacancies. ”

Zhang Tao is not stupid, and when he heard this, he suddenly began to realize something.

Yes...... In this Nanjing City, now I don't know how many people have fallen off the horse, he was originally very panicked, thinking that something big was going to happen, but now that he thinks about it, whether they die or not, what does it matter to me Zhang Tao? As long as I am on the right side, these people will die, but make room for me Zhang Tao......

Disastrous......

Zhang Tao's heart shook suddenly, and he ...... all of a sudden I feel like my life is ...... It doesn't seem to be so bad either.

The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!

……

And also!
