Covered in a snowstorm, it was naturally Lu Xiangsheng, the county magistrate of Changping County, followed by Jiang Hongchen, the county magistrate of Heshui County, Qingyang Prefecture, Shaanxi, Sun Ningyi, the county magistrate of Jiayu County, Wuchang Prefecture, Huguang, and Liu Kuang, Bazhou County, Houning Prefecture, Sichuan. The original county order, nominated by Lu Xiangsheng and signed by the cabinet, became the county governor of Changping County.

"Chen Lu Xiangsheng ............"

Without waiting for Lu Xiangsheng to finish speaking, Zhu Youzhen sighed and put down his chopsticks. "Go find Wang Chengen's ordinary clothes. Come and eat a little, I'll be waiting for you. "Wearing court clothes requires the etiquette of court clothes, which Zhu Youzhen is not willing to do casually.

Soon, the four of them appeared at Zhu Youzhen's table again.

"This is my family banquet, so I won't let the queen, Wu Niang and Wang Daban avoid it. I didn't bring too many people with me this time, you take care of yourselves, let go of eating. "Anyway, I started to help the queen and Wu Niang eat shabu first.

Lu Xiangsheng has been with the emperor for a long time, but he is not rigid, according to the emperor's way of eating, as soon as the chopsticks go down, he will no longer speak, and reach into the hot pot to fish.

Jiang Hongchen, the county magistrate of Qingyang, is an old man with white hair, Zhu Youzhen does not use his appearance to judge the age of the ancients now, the key is that the difference between nutrition and environment is too great, they are also thirty-two years old, put Zhou Yanru and Man Gui together, you think Zhou Yanru can be called Man Gui's father. Jiang Hongchen may have been because of the wind and sand in Gansu, the environment was harsh, and his hands were swollen with green tendons, dry like a fork of a dead tree.

Sun Ningyi, the county magistrate of Jiayu County, Wuchang Prefecture, Huguang, and Liu Kuang, Bazhou County, Houning Prefecture, Sichuan, are both Jinshi in the later years of Wanli, which is about the same year. Interestingly, Sun Ningyi, who went to Jiayu County, is from Sichuan, and Liu Kuan, who went to Bazhou, is from Huguang, and they can be regarded as parents in each other's hometowns.

This is the model and test site of the Zhu Youjian National School of Administration.

The Ming Dynasty talked about countless vassal kings, nobles, officials, officials and scholars in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, but it was these parents and officials of 1,514 counties who really dealt with the common people.

The county order of the peeling is too guarded to destroy the door.

The vast majority of ordinary people do not see the officials of the prefecture at all, and they will only deal with the county in their lives. Whether it is people's livelihood, agriculture, homicide, tax collection or hard labor, it is basically a county order to decide in a word.

Before the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the horizontal and vertical flow of county orders was normal, and the rules and principles of not being an official in their hometown were strictly observed.

However, from the Wanli Dynasty onwards, the civil service system, the empire's greatest foundation, began to collapse. The indefinite expansion of the civil bureaucracy at the head, and the internal in-laws, children, teachers and students began to occupy all official positions, leading to the collapse of the rising system. What is the result? The lower-level county magistrates are staying in this post longer and longer. In the Chongzhen Dynasty, some county orders were even not replaced for life.

As a result, these county orders, together with the wealthy people of the county, formed the upper-class wealthy families in each county.

Therefore, no matter how wise the emperor is, no matter how meticulous the cabinet is, and no matter how responsible the six ministries are, these will not fall on the heads of the common people of the Ming Dynasty.

In the golden age, the county order was the skin of the imperial court, and the reaction to contact the people was warm and cold.

But in the Black Iron Era, the county order became an airtight plastic, separating the people from the imperial court.

Zhu Youzhen thought about it, and at the same time made a good husband and served vegetables for the queen. Several times, ginger was sandwiched into the bowl of the queen and Wu Niang as a slice of meat. After gaining a few rolls, the queen pushed him away and told him to focus on himself.

Wang Chengen simply didn't eat, which was equivalent to sitting on the table to serve everyone.

The three county orders were still a little stiff at first, but later they were infected by Lu Xiangsheng and began to return to normal on the surface. Sitting at the same table with the emperor and empress to dine is a lifetime of glory in the past. However, under Lu Xiangsheng's conscious or unconscious preaching in the past few days, they seem to have established a sense of mission that depends on the rise and fall of the world.

If you want to do something very different in the world, you have to have a very different emperor above. Through the behavior of eating at the table, Zhu Youzhen once again strengthened this feeling.

You have to believe Lu Xiangsheng, what he said is true. You see, I am such a different emperor who fits your imagination of the Son of Heaven.

Those who suggest a constitutional monarchy, a republic, and break the civil system just rely on Li Zicheng and Nurhachi to achieve peace in the world are dreams. Not to mention a country, even if it is a company with more than 100 people, without a set of mature technology and management middle-level, just relying on a few founders to achieve a century-old foundation is nonsense, is a propaganda routine.

It's just that these people have been ignored, and Zhu Youzhen knows that he can't ignore these people.

Five, Zhu Youzhen needs to open up five demonstration counties before the spring ploughing of the first year of Chongzhen. The people he called this time were very useful, and they basically surrounded northern Shaanxi and Guanzhong.

Next year, we will need to accept the news of the severe drought in Shaanxi. Even if he was reborn, Zhu Youzhen had no way to deal with natural disasters. When one side of the future is in trouble, the support of the eight parties is a dream, which is based on the premise of a high degree of recognition and pride, and what can be done now is nothing more than to make the displaced people a little less and die a little less.

It is more about letting the five counties become the validators, demonstrators and sparks of Zhu Youzhen's new policy.

If you eat quickly, it will end early, and soon Lu Xiangsheng will put it on the chopsticks. The other three people were still a little rusty, and when they saw that Lu Xiangsheng was over, it was over.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister has eaten a full meal here with Your Majesty."

Zhu Youzhen knocked on the pot, pointed at the three people and said, "If you are not full, continue to eat." Sun Ningyi, right, you just threw it into the pot and haven't picked it up yet, don't make a show of it in front of me. Wu Niang, go and bring a cup of tea to Lord Lu. ”

That's it.

Zhu Youzhen's style frightened Lu Xiangsheng a little. Even if it's adopted, how can you say that someone is a princess?

Zhu Youzhen was purely a habit of later generations, and he didn't care: "Didn't I allocate 10,000 stone of grain and 20,000 stone of miscellaneous grain to your small Changping County?" Why are you still holding yourself back like this? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, which is the bait used by the ministers for fishing, how can you be willing to use it now."

"The minister put the grain firmly behind the county government, and basically relied on the minister's fate to live with the farmer's own family every day, and the grain in reserve did not move. Every day when we go to work on the mountain, everyone who has a long way to go back and go around. ”

Zhu Youzhen understands that the current season of the county government and peasant households is not the time when there is the greatest shortage of grain, and it will be the season when there will be no harvest after the spring of next year. If there is another major drought and flood at that time, the grain stored by these county governments will really become life-saving food.
