Zhou Xianling only felt dizzy.

Desperately running errands, it's just because of the desire to survive.

But where did he think that he was promoted.

And it's a special purpose.

This was clearly beyond his expectations.

Because people are different from each other, officials are also different from officials.

Like those Qingliu ministers in the court, such as the editors of the imperial history and Hanlin, they seem to be seven grades with themselves, but if they want to be promoted, it is like playing, even if they don't have any credit, it is just easy to be promoted to a level in three or two years.

But I am different, I am a small county order, and the county order wants to go up, but it is even more difficult, and sometimes I may stay in the position of these seven products for the rest of my life.

Even if you are lucky, you may not be able to go up for ten or eight years, but by that time, you will almost be at the end of your life.

Now that he has only done a job for more than a month, he has become an official, although it is still a county order, but it is obvious...... The problem of vacancies can always be solved in the future.

Even if you don't solve the job vacancy, going out will bring the wind.

He hurriedly got up and saluted: "Thank you, grandpa." ”

His voice was hoarse, but with a little sincere gratitude.

At this time, it is not that he is inflammatory, but that he is in a small county, no matter how well he does it, there are no big people to take care of him on weekdays, and he treats himself as a mustard.

The ancients had high emotional intelligence, and generally called the person who promoted themselves Enfu, because there was no love in the world for no reason, why should people give you resources? If you are really lucky enough to be valued, this kind of gratitude is not something that ordinary people can imagine.

Especially a small county magistrate like him, half a life, seeing a lot of people's warmth and coldness, when people want to use you, they use you like a cow and a horse, and they run out...... I still treat you as a cow or a horse, where may I give you meat to eat, and eat your forage.

Zhang Anshi accepted his thanks to him.

This Tongzhi Gao Xiang, as well as several other county orders, as well as the officials in the government office, were also moved.

That's when the gaze began to change.

"Next...... It's taxes...... The question of taxation is related to the national economy and the people...... No, what is related is to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect is really hateful, in order to shake our Ming Dynasty, they colluded with others and instigated people to refuse to pay grain taxes, which is ...... Is it still a human thing? Besides...... There is also the issue of commercial tax, and the commercial tax will be detailed immediately, but ...... There are also rules for this commercial tax, and when you collect money, you must severely crack down on the local errand and the exploitation of various inspections, this matter...... Zhu Tuiguan, Zhao Inspector, what do you guys say? ”

Zhu Tuiguan is in charge of a government criminal name, and as for several inspections, he is in charge of the garrison.

Several people stood up, and Zhu Tuiguan immediately said: "Starting tomorrow, the lower officials will start to inspect the counties, and they will always arrest a few lawbreakers to set an example." ”

The inspectors were even more afraid of Zhang Anshi, and they said: "The inferior people must introspect themselves." ”

Hearing the word self-reflection, all the officials showed a meaningful look, and at this time, many people's hearts were much more relaxed, and their minds began to live.

After all, everyone is a human being, and these inspections did not pat their chests to ensure that there was no problem, but said self-examination, which means that we have done such things before, but we dare not do it in the future.

The reason why they answered like this is because they know that Zhang Anshi still has the identity of a brocade guard, and you dare to hide it from him?

Zhang Anshi bowed: "Li Zhaomo." ”

An official stood up: "In." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "You are responsible for the affairs of the officials in this mansion. How many rooms is in your public housing? ”

Li Zhaomo said: "Four bays." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "It's too small, the people are too small, I will prepare another yamen, you work there, and the number of scribes under you will be increased. Every year, the money and grain allocated to your government will increase several times, and you will keep an eye on me, and if there are officials who violate the law, or accept reports from businessmen and the people, no matter who they are, they must give me a written conclusion, and if there is any verification, they will take someone. ”

Li Zhaomo was stunned for a moment, he was in charge of the grinding, and he was only in charge of the matter of discipline, and his status was far below the prefect, the same knowledge, and the officials, but he was just a mere seven grades, and he worked in a four-room public house in the house, and the scribes were only three people. But now look at ...... As if you ...... yourself

Zhang Anshi said: "How about recruiting fifteen scribes and thirty more warriors?" ”

Only then did Li Zhaomo know that all this was true, and he shook his spirit: "That's enough, that's enough." ”

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "All counties must be prepared, this is about to be harvested, the work of tax collection must begin, and disaster prevention must be paid attention to, of course, public security is also the top priority, and the people under it ...... It's hard to do things, it's hot now, I should give you some money and food to cool off, I am in charge of this matter, in the summer and March, I will allocate a couple of silver per month to cool off the summer money. ”

"Won't it be too much?" Tongzhi Gao Xiang got up: "The house...... Not much ......."

Zhang Anshi said: "There is a grain tax, there is a commercial tax, are you afraid that there is no money?" Does the government care about this little money? If you don't give money, how can you do errands well, everyone works hard, this bit of silver is not worth mentioning to us, and the clerks and errand servants, as well as the soldiers, are the silver to support the family. ”

Gao Xiang smiled: "Grandpa Mingjian." ”

The reason why he smiled was actually because he had a bureau for Zhang Anshi.

He can see it, and there is no way out now, so he just follows Zhang Anshi.

Now that you have made up your mind, you have to make this grandfather happy.

said that the grandfather was going to send money again this time, and the people below must be grateful, but the grandfather sent the money...... You can't just say it in one sentence.

But there needs to be someone to be this 'bad guy', at this time, and wait for the grandfather to reprimand himself harshly, and tell the words of the grandfather's love for the scribes and the servants, this spread out, and the effect will be doubled.

Gao Xiang is happy to be this bad guy, he looks stupid and has no pattern, but he is under the roof, how can he care about this? Doing your own role as a green leaf is the essence of Tongzhi.

Zhang Anshi said again: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, the important thing is to open up the situation, in addition, the counties should report the situation at the bottom, and teach the Tongzhi Department to deal with it, Gao Tongzhi, you can't be idle here, the people's situation below, as well as some situations caused by this military order, must be dealt with in a timely manner, these seem to be cumbersome, but the more cumbersome, the more urgent." ”

Gao Xiang said: "Obey." ”

Zhang Anshi waved his hand: "Go your own way." ”

Farewell, everyone.

Everyone went back to the government office, this Gao Xiang also began to be busy, many military orders, did lead to some chaos, the current problem, one is to in-depth propaganda of military orders, otherwise many people still do not know. The other is to deal with some people making trouble, any decision, some people will gain, some people will lose, these things are not handled well, especially when the signs occur, directly extinguished, if the trouble is not good, there will be a big incident.

Of course...... There is another thing, that is, some military orders sent by Zhang Anshi, most of which are to pave the way for the construction of bridges, the addition of wharves, the consolidation of river embankments, and the addition of Yixue and Yizhuang after the autumn harvest.

Gao Xiang felt that this grandfather liked to take care of everything, how could he do so many things this year.

But Gao Xiang gradually saw the signs, Wei Guogong did not come to get rid of thieves at all, but to do big things.

Of course, Gao Xiang will not think about these lofty things, he is not young, he has long passed the time of high spirits, the sea is up and down, and he has seen a lot of things, but he does not have much pride, according to the meaning of the above, just do things properly.

There are many affairs, so busy until late at night, Gao Xiang only went back to the house, but Gao Xiang has no home in Qixia, and this yali, there is no house, but the yamen still arranged a place for him to live, but it is in a dormitory not far from the next door, because he is the same knowledge, so there is a small courtyard, the government hired two people to take care of his living room, he returned to the courtyard, the door said: "Gao Tongzhi, someone sent a post, saying that it was your same year, and I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Gao Xiang looked at the worship post, and his eyes suddenly became eager, because this worship was posted in the book: Chen Jingye respects it in the same year.

Chen Jingye was the same year as him, when they went to the provincial capital to participate in the township test, took care of each other along the way, they were close friends when they were young, and everyone was busy in the past few years, but the correspondence was not broken.

Gao Xiang quickly walked into the courtyard, and sure enough, there were people in this hall who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Oops...... Brother Ziyi, you still haven't changed. Gao Xiang stepped forward quickly.

This Chen Jingye scarf and Confucian shirt, stepping on cyan cloth shoes, said with a smile: "But Brother Gao Xian has changed." ”

"I'm ashamed." Gao Xiang said: "The appearance of the eucalyptus is very different, Ziyi is almost unrecognizable, right?" ”

"Haha...... Even if you become a ghost, they will recognize you. ”

Gao Xiang also laughed when he heard this, asked Chen Jingye to sit down, and asked about Chen Jingye's current situation, Chen Jingye said, "It's okay." ”

Gao Xiang knew that he might not have a good life, so he immediately changed the topic: "I don't know if Ziyi is here, if he has any advice." ”

Chen Jingye said with a smile: "It's really okay to go to the Three Treasures Palace, Brother Gao Xian, I came to look for you this time, just for one thing."

"You and I don't have to be so unfamiliar."

Chen Jingye took a sip of tea: "Brother Gao Xian, your disaster is coming." ”

Gao Xiang said steadily: "Oh? ”

Chen Jingye smiled bitterly: "Until now, don't you know what happened in this Taiping Mansion?" Ay...... Thieves mess with politics, thieves mess with politics. ”

Gao Xiang saw him beating his chest and stumbling, so he said, "Who are you talking about as a thief?" ”

"Who else?"

"How to mess with the government?"

"Look at it, this Taiping Mansion was originally good, but now it is a mess, you are the same knowledge, is it ...... Shall you endure to see the people being spoiled in this way? ”

"Ziyi, you may have misunderstood, if you say that some rules have been changed here, it is true. But to say that the people are being mutilated...... But it's hard to agree. ”

"You went along with him?"

"I know the same thing, and I obey the commands of God......

"Brother Gao Xian, you Hutu, do you know...... Keep going like this...... It's going to be a big deal. ”

"What big things can happen, can you still die in the community?"

"It's not the society that dies, it's the world that dies!"

As soon as these words came out, Gao Xiang suddenly understood, with a little pain in his eyes, he took a deep breath: "It's not as bad as you think." ”

"Everywhere for the scholars, everywhere for the gentry, the gentry's house, unsustainable, wailing all over the wilderness, the people gradually followed the rudeness, what is this? This is a bad reputation. What kind of consequences will it be if it continues like this? ”

He said hysterically: "The surname of Yi was changed, and it was said that the country was destroyed." Benevolence and righteousness are congested, and as for the cannibalism of beasts, people will eat each other, etiquette will collapse, and Sven will sweep the floor, which is called the death of the world. Don't you understand this truth? ”

Gao Xiang stood up: "Don't say it. ”

Chen Jingye was even more excited: "Gao Xiang, how did you become like this." ”

"I ......" Gao Xiang wanted to say something, but in the end it stopped abruptly.

He couldn't tell how he felt at the moment.

In the books I read, I can indeed understand Chen Jingye's words, and the world will die...... This is such a heavy word, and it is the duty of scholars to protect the famous teaching.

But now, he is shaken, not just because he has no way out, although along the way, he did give people a neck and did not follow, but for more than a month, he did not feel too much guilt, he was the same knowledge, understood the situation below, knew all kinds of military orders, and did not cause any trouble to the majority of the people.

He looked at Chen Jingye: "You go." ”

Chen Jingye stood up: "You want to chase away customers?" ”

Gao Xiang closed his eyes and nodded slowly.

"What a Gao Xiang, are you going to leave a stench for 10,000 years for the future?"

Gao Xiang ignored it.

Chen Jingye sneered: "I was blind and recognized the wrong friend, and after that, I cut my robe and cut off my righteousness." ”

Gao Xiang's face stiffened...... In fact, he had a vague premonition for a long time...... It's just that I didn't expect the reality to come so quickly.

Chen Jingye looked at him deadly: "Don't you think...... Attached to the Duke of Weiguo, what can be done, all dynasties, from thieves, there are a few people who have a good end. ”

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, sighed, and turned to leave.

Gao Xiang sat stiffly on the chair, but he didn't say a word.

And so he sat until dawn.

He dragged his tired steps back to the Tongzhi Hall, and the officials in the hall saw that he looked bad, and hurriedly said, "Gao Tongzhi, you ...... It's ......"

"No problem." Gao Xiang said: "Today's things, sort them out, first from Qixia's side, now Yixue and Yizhuang...... The gentry can't count on it, so they can find a way to see if they are willing to take a little money or not, of course...... Face should be given to everyone, this righteousness is there, and a monument must be erected for them. As for Yizhuang, don't erect a monument, lest people dislike bad luck, and commend it in the name of the prefect's yamen. “

"Yes."

Gao Xiang remembered something again: "Also, these days, there are a lot of things to buy and sell land, many people have come to the yali to ask someone to be a guarantee, you write down this matter, I will mention it to Wei Guogong later, this kind of thing is ten times as before, but it can be dealt with, but now it can't be coped, you have to send a few scribes to be responsible for witnessing the guarantee, the best place to work, don't put it in the prefect's yamen, otherwise there will always be people in and out, what is it like, the old man has to think about it, find a place." ”

In the evening, Gao Xiang went to see Zhang Anshi, and probably reported some of the situation in the yali, and finally said: "In the past, there were few land and houses to buy and sell, so the deed was often written by any scribe who was free, so he went to deal with it. But it's different now, grandpa...... Xiaguan means ......"

He spoke his mind carefully.

Zhang Anshi said: "If you don't say it, I actually forgot, no wonder in the past two days, many idle people have come in and out, which scared me." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "This is easy to do, find a place, but also hang the prefect's yamen sign, called the administrative hall, the place should be large, spacious, put some cumbersome affairs, all put in, each government must have some scribes to be on duty, whether it is to find someone to notarize as a guarantee, or to file grievances, or even to open any certificates, you can teach people to go there, find a priest to be responsible for this matter." ”

Gao Xiang's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea, but the grandfather is thoughtful." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "What's wrong with you, you haven't slept all night?" ”

Gao Xiang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I'm ashamed, I didn't sleep well last night." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Go home and sleep early." ”

"Yes."

On Qixia's side, a large number of manpower has poured in, but fortunately, what Qixia lacks is manpower.

But at the same time, many businessmen have also gone to the countryside, and all the counties are Qixia businessmen.

In the county seats, money villages have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and in addition to that...... It is the wharf, in order to facilitate access, especially to facilitate the exchange of military and civilian people and businessmen between Qixia and Taipingfu, a dozen wharves have been built, and there are a lot of passengers, and all kinds of cargo ships and passenger ships are flooded on the river.

The tax collectors of the counties, Zhang Anshi asked people to assemble specially, no longer led by the original county government, and directly let the government unify to deploy, and invited some people to train in advance, not only to learn to keep accounts and make accounts, but also to have military drills, and allowed them to bring bows and crossbows, swords, and then distribute them to the counties to do a good job in tax collection.

The detailed rules of the commercial tax also came out, but they could only be collected by the workshop.

Those traveling merchants, taxes are not easy to collect, after all, the liquidity is large, but the workshop is different, someone has land here, even if you want to check the accounts, it is easy to check, if there is really someone illegal, then it is also run monks can not run the temple.

In addition, there are shops everywhere, docks everywhere, and so on.

Zhang Anshi was so busy with this that he had to ask Zhu Jin to find someone and transfer a group of experienced account offices to supervise the tax office in this mansion.

No one expected that after the promulgation of the new military order, there would be any problems, and if there was a sudden problem, there was no way to solve it before, so we could only let everyone grope to try to solve it, and then form some kind of rule.

Fortunately, the officials who are now under the head have begun to have momentum, although everyone is busy with their feet not touching the ground, but all kinds of performance, as well as various evaluations, everyone has gradually begun to adapt to habits.

…………

A report was sent to the capital.

"Great victory, great victory......"

He also rushed into the building: "Your Majesty, a great victory......"

Zhu Di glanced at it and lost it: "Where is the big victory?" ”

The thief Li Faliang was awarded the head, and was broken by the official army in Jishui County, and his henchmen killed more than 1,900 people, and the rest of the remnants have been hiding in the mountains, but they are no longer enough to cause trouble. Besides...... Most of the other thieves were also captured......"

Zhu Di was not interested in this.

Li Faliang's rebellion has been in trouble for three years, this thief is a native of Xiangtan, because he is dissatisfied with the government, he pulls the flag and rebels, and there are countless followers, but Zhu Di has no interest in such a thief, and only orders the officials and soldiers to surround him, but on the contrary, this Li Faliang led people to fight everywhere, from Hunan to Ji'an Mansion in Jiangxi, and the momentum is getting bigger and bigger.

But even so, Zhu Di still didn't pay much attention to it, in his eyes, this was just a civil uprising, and it was a matter for the local guards.

But now...... Finally, this person gave the head, which finally made Zhu Di breathe a long sigh of relief.

He read the report and nodded: "Yes, the officers and soldiers are still useful, but ...... Previously, the Zhuwei of Hunan was really a wine bag and a rice bag, and the people changed and made a fuss like this......"

At this time, the bachelors of Wenyuan Pavilion and the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the household department, and Jin Zhong, the secretary of the military department, also came.

They had apparently just heard the news and had come to see the driver.

Xia Yuanji said happily: "Your Majesty, this Li thief is no longer in trouble, and the minister is relieved." ”

Jian Yi said: "It's really God bless the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Di pulled his face: "Killing a thief is God's blessing, so this thief's rebellion, isn't it because he wants to die in heaven?" ”

"This ......"

Zhu Di shook his head: "Why did Li Faliang rebel?" ”

"This man has ill intentions......" Yishiha replied hurriedly.

Zhu Di waved his hand: "I am not talking about the thief leader Li Faliang, but the tens of millions of people who follow Li Faliang." ”

Household Shangshu Xia Yuan Yoshidao: "The ministers are ashamed, they are the ministers ......"

Zhu Di squinted his eyes and was silent for a long time and said, "Didn't you catch many thieves?" They were all escorted to Beijing, and after the division reviewed their crimes, they were sentenced to the canonical punishment. ”

"Your Majesty, isn't it too troublesome." Xia Yuanji said: "This road is escorted by officials and soldiers, plus the loss of carriages and horses along the way...... It's better to ......."

Zhu Di waved his hand: "I want to see what these thieves look like." ”

And they were silent.

Zhu Di stood up and said: "Such good news, it stands to reason that Jinyiwei must have known the news, according to Zhang Anshi's temperament, he must hide from me if there is a bad thing, and if there is a good thing, he must come up to congratulate him, why don't you see others these days." ”

"This ......" also lost Ha said: "The slave maid heard that Zhang Anshi was in the Taiping Mansion to eliminate thieves, and he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground." ”

"It's hard for him." Zhu Di said meaningfully: "It's hard to kill thieves, this White Lotus Sect is really too rampant." ”

Yishu said: "Yes, yes, the slave maid also heard from the people over there from Jinyiwei that this White Lotus Sect is hiding in the shadows, plotting against each other, and there are the most bandits in this Taiping Mansion, I heard that walking on the street, casually arresting ten or eight people, if they are all killed, at least one person is not wronged." ”

Zhu Di: "Has it come to this point?" Then I want to send a message to Zhang Anshi and ask him to pay attention to safety. ”

The ministers listened to Zhu Di and Yishaha's words, but they all shook their heads and smiled bitterly in their hearts.

There are some things that can be hidden from others, but they can't be hidden from the princes of this temple, everyone is not a fool, where is this banditry, this is clearly the plank road and the darkness of Chen Cang.

…………

It's too late, so try to correct your routine.
