Chapter 370: Rulers

Li Dongyang was silent, yes, Hua Houwei is not the emperor, what kind of heart does he have? Even if something big happened in the snowy region, it was okay with the Central Plains, and it was 108,000 miles away from the capital division, so why should he take care of it? Disheartened for a while, is the scholar going back to the days of trembling? Unwilling!

Ma Wensheng sighed, how could he be willing? However, compared with a pure literati like Li Dongyang, Ma Wensheng has a little more of the indomitable spirit of a military general. "Master Li, there is a popular saying among the people, if there are dates, there are no dates to hit three poles. What if? ”

"Well, Lord Ma, what kind of charter is this Wing Army currently speaking?"

Ma Wensheng shook his head and said stupidly: "I can't tell!" The palace guards are supernumerated, and the military department does not have the establishment of a wing army, which is currently under the name of the general yamen. If it had been placed in the previous dynasty, it would have been a long time ago..."

Li Dongyang's heart moved: "Lord Ma, if King Wu sends troops to the Snow Region, and the Wing Army gives an official name, do you say King Wu is willing?" ”

Ma Wensheng thought about it carefully and said hesitantly: "It's not very attractive, but you can try." ”

"Then try it!"

Zhu Houzhao has made up his mind, this time there is no need to sneak away, he will go generously, who can help me? However, Sister Li Feng can't take it, she goes out to fight, and she has to sail, so it's inconvenient to take a woman. What's more, in ancient times, when sailing on the ocean, Chinese ships could not carry women. In front of Yanziji Wharf, Hua Houwei looked at Zhu Houzhao: "Brother, are you planning to use me as a donkey to death?" Have a good time on your own? ”

Zhu Houzhao grinned and hugged Hua Houwei: "Brother Wei, aren't we short of money, how can we have quick money if we don't grab it?" Don't you see that the old stuff is already pushing up? ”

Hua Houwei shook his head helplessly: "Okay, okay, one last time!" If you rob Tianzhu, you will come back, you still have to be the one who is in this home! ”

Zhu Houzhao laughed and nodded frequently, turned around and strode towards the Zhiyuan ship. Looking at the ships in the distance, Hua Houwei shook his head and turned around and headed back to Nanjing City.

The Anhui Tan official examination is about to begin, and Hua Houwei has to preside over it in person. Jiang Bin of the Meilong Town Task Force is fully responsible, and Hua Houwei no longer focuses on here. This battle was the first head-to-head confrontation between the royal family and Wenchen of the Zhengde Dynasty, and the victory or defeat directly determined the fate of the future Ming Dynasty and even China.

money, Zhu Houzhao went to do it, and the military threatened the wing army to take action, this lack of officials, can only be the appointment of officials. Hua Houwei actually wanted to let the Tan officials join the ranks of officials for a long time, if nothing else, the Ming regime did not go to the countryside. Leaving aside later generations, the only ones that could manage the government down to the village level were the Qin, Han, and Song dynasties. This is a huge hidden danger, all policies need to be interpreted and implemented, otherwise it is all empty talk. Most of the policies of the Ming Dynasty can only be implemented at the county level, and the real people do not know the decrees of the imperial court at all. One of the main reasons is the existence of the Tan officials.

All the officials of the Ming Dynasty are entrenched in the county, and the tentacles and roots cover the whole county. It can be said that the Tan officials are the local emperors of each county, except for a few capable ministers, most of the county orders sent by the central government can only cooperate with them. In other words, most of the suffering of the people of the Ming Dynasty was imposed on them by the Tan officials.

Only by breaking the monopoly of the officials on the grassroots can the power of the people of the Ming Dynasty be fully released. Hua Houwei had such a plan for a long time, but Hongzhi could not support it. This time, I took advantage of the opportunity of Zhu Houzhao and Wenchen to make a model. Officials are not allowed to be promoted, and their energy can only be focused on making money. What if you can get promoted? Only by breaking the monopoly of the scholars and uniting all the forces that can be united can the innovation succeed.

An Xingguo and his father sat in the carriage and looked curiously at the scenery outside the window. An Xingzhou snorted: "Boy, take a good look, this Jinling Imperial Capital has a profound heritage, but it is not comparable to our small county." ”

"Dad, don't worry, I will never go back to Sihong." An Xingguo has appreciated the style of a big city, and his heart has long been unable to settle down.

"Humph! That is, your fate is good, and it's time to catch up! Alas, how good would it be if King Wu was born a few years earlier? ”

"Dad, our family is enough to buy a place, think about three thousand taels and I'll be in pain! No, it hurts! ”

"Nonsense! An family can be an official, what is a little money? ”

Nanjing Confucian Temple, the first batch of Anhui officials who took the big exam were being inspected in front of the examination room. Tens of thousands of onlookers were talking about this rare scene.

An Xingguo carried a bamboo basket into the examination room, took his number plate, and found his position. Compared with the imperial examination, the inspection at this gate is more like a perfunctory matter, doesn't King Wu care about this big exam? No, no, for the first time in the world, how can you not pay attention to it? But why is there an extra circle on your number plate?

There is no time to continue thinking, and the exam papers have already begun to be distributed. Fill-in-the-blank questions? Chickens and rabbits in the same cage? It's so easy! An Xingguo brushed a few strokes, and the extremely neat cabinet body jumped on the paper. What is it? One mouth enters the water and the other releases the water, isn't this enough to hold up? No matter, little meaning! Eh, the wind can enter the rain, the prince can't enter, isn't this nonsense?

I wrote it down all the way, and after an hour, I came to the essay question. On how to prevent eating and drinking at public expense? Hehe, this official can't answer, we can't answer? Next, how to prevent the grain depot guards from stealing? Hee-hee, Lao Tzu is just fiddling with these things all day long, it's rare to pour Lao Tzu? On how can officials deal with local forces and really bathe the village level under the emperor's grace? Cut! Lao Tzu is a Tan official, can you not know what the Tan official is afraid of?

Three hours later, An Xingguo handed over the roll and left. The uncontrollable crimson on his face revealed the joy in his heart.

Out of the examination room, An Xingzhou, who was far away, shouted loudly, and An Xingguo walked over quickly.

"Son, how's it going?"

"Hehe, simple! Dad, you are really prescient, it is all in the son's usual errands. ”

"Tell me, tell me, how do you answer?"

"Well, there is a question, on how to prevent the grain depot guards from stealing, my answer is strict inspection, the appointment of the kuding should adopt a rotation system, the appointment of supervisors should be more than three people, the formation of mutual containment, to strictly control the family, the state government household department to strengthen supervision..."

An Xingzhou thought for a moment and interrupted An Xingguo, who was gushing: "Xingguo, you talk about these discussion questions." ”

After An Xingguo finished speaking, An Xingzhou frowned, his face full of admiration: "King Wu is amazing!" To solve the bell, you must tie the bell, know that we officials understand these methods, and only we know how to plug these loopholes. If you use the officials, then in order to be promoted, you must have political achievements, and we will be put on the head, and the officials will be clear! As soon as the government is cleared, the corresponding decree is issued, and it will not work if the sea is clear! Terrible! It's amazing! ”
