Chapter 338: Heavy Reward

After Zhang Anshi finished scolding.

The anger is out, and the mood is good all of a sudden.

It can be said that if there is no New Deal, then these people definitely belong to the losers in the officialdom.

This could mean that the future of the Ming Dynasty ...... will govern the world with the new policy, so what happened in the Taiping Mansion in the past two years will be ...... Whoever enters the annals of history, when the time comes, even he Gao Xiang may be a big book.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the New Deal can really be extended, and the officials of later generations are also officials trained under the New Deal, otherwise it will be a failure.

Zhang Anshi said with a little doubt: "Your Majesty loves me so much, but it caught me off guard, but ...... Why the Right Governor? k4ใ€‚ โ€

After all, Gao Xiang is familiar with the world, he stroked his beard, thought about it, and said: "If there is a right governor, there must be a left governor, and he also made it clear that it is the governor of the five mansions." This means that the other eight prefectures of Zhili must be governed by the Zuodu Governor. โ€

Zhang Anshi thought about it carefully, and then understood, and couldn't help scolding: "Oh, I, the governor of the right, is actually in Anhui." โ€

The Zhili of the Ming Dynasty was actually equivalent to the two provinces of Anhui and Jiangsu in later generations.

Some people in later generations ridiculed that it was the Anhui Provincial Government in Nanjing, but in fact, this is not wrong, because in the Ming Dynasty, Anhui was in Nanzhili, and the core of Nanzhili was Nanjing.

When Zhang Anshi heard this paragraph, he was still happy.

It turned out only now that I laughed at myself.

I, Zhang Anshi, am not in charge of most of Anhui Province now?

In a sense, these former officials were actually eliminated under the imperial examination system.

"What?" Gao Xiang said.

Zhang Anshi said: "I mean, the area under my jurisdiction is mainly in the land of Huai. โ€

If you talk to Gao Xiang about Anhui, he may be a little confused, but if it is the land of Huaixi, Gao Xiang immediately understands.

So he persuaded: "This court is indeed unfair, and the richest places in Jiangsu, Songjiang, Zhenjiang and other places are all under the jurisdiction of the Zuo Governor, but ...... Governor, this is the best result, we are waiting for the new policy, it is too eye-catching, if it is Suzhou and other places that are under control, it will not be good. โ€

Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is this?" โ€

Gao Xiang said: "Many of the world's noble families are from Suzhou, Zhenjiang and Songjiang, where there are many scholars and gentry, and there are countless gentry...... It is really possible to meet with swords, obviously the court or His Majesty thinks that the time is not yet ripe, and you need to figure it out. Governor, such a big break must not be rushed, and the methods of the Qin people need to be used. โ€

Zhang Anshi said in amazement: "The Qin people's method? โ€

Gao Xiang said: "Cut them five cities today, cut them ten cities tomorrow, and when they were cut by a blunt knife, when they looked at the four realms, they found that the governor had already come to the city." โ€

Zhang Anshi was happy: "You readers are really interesting, and you like to quote scriptures for everything." โ€

Gao Xiang said: "The method of the ancestors, it may be put now, when governing one side, it may not be very useful, but it can be used to formulate a strategy, but it is useful." โ€

This new policy has indeed achieved great results, but everyone knows that these achievements have also been hated by countless people.

Zhang Anshi pondered for a moment, and then said: "I just don't know who this Zuo Dudu is." โ€

Gao Xiang said: "The governor is the second grade, one grade higher than the political envoy, in this way, nine times out of ten, it is an important minister of the imperial court...... And since it has been pushed by the court...... The reason why the governor's will will come late is because...... There must have been a big controversy in today's court push, so it's too late. โ€

After a pause, he continued: "The candidate for the right governor must be the governor of you, everyone knows this, but I am afraid that the ministers will not dare to make a fuss about this." But...... Candidates for the Left Governor...... I think...... The controversy must have been enormous. โ€

Gao Xiang thought for a moment and continued; "In this case, this person's identity must be unusual, and it must be the result of the collusion of the princes of the DPRK and China. Moreover, in the opinion of the following officials, there must be someone who ...... I hope to use this left governor to check and balance the governor. โ€

Zhang Anshi didn't care, and smiled: "Who does he care, don't care about me!" No matter who it is, it doesn't matter to me, what checks and balances, who wants to check and balance him? I and he have our own affairs. โ€

Gao Xiang smiled bitterly: "That's right, this is a headache for the princes of the court, and now Your Majesty and the crown prince have made their attitudes clear, no matter who the Zuo Governor is, it has nothing to do with the Governor." โ€

Zhang Anshi nodded and said: "Now, I am the governor and you are the governor, this new deal...... It's almost time for the fire! I just don't know...... This year's business tax revenue will be roughly calculated, and then we will draw up a budget as soon as possible, and then we will do a big job. โ€

"In addition, we have to push a new law."

Gao Xiang said in surprise: "New law? โ€

Zhang Anshi said: "Of course, if the name is not right, it is not good, there is no set of laws and regulations, how to restrain everyone's behavior?" Knife. โ€

Now I haven't made any big mistakes, but I have been eyed by people, and I am yin and yang, if something really happens, it is definitely not fun, and when the time comes, it must be a mountain of doubts in the Manchu Dynasty, but I am afraid that even Wei Guogong will not be able to protect it.

Gao Xiang frowned and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid that the lower officials will be worried about ......."

Zhang Anshi said calmly: "Then change the name...... You think about it, you know what I mean, it's like...... In the same way, you have to find a name that does not violate the ancestral system and is reasonable. โ€

"I'm not good at this kind of thing, but you're good at it. If you can't think of it, gather all the people below, these people are trustworthy, they have come through weal and woe with us, and now they are sharing weal and woe, so that everyone can brainstorm together. โ€

Gao Xiang never expected that the first thing he did as a Fu Yin was to exploit the loopholes of the ancestors' law.

At that moment, he had to smile bitterly and said, "Then the lower official should think about it." โ€

Zhang Anshi then said: "There is also the commercial tax of Taiping Mansion...... In this way, tomorrow I will enter the palace to thank you, you find a way tonight, give me a rough amount, I will go to see Your Majesty, and I will have an explanation. โ€

Gao Xiang said embarrassedly: "It can only be estimated, and the error is not small, it may fluctuate around one or two percent, after all, the real commercial tax storage, at least at the end of the month." โ€

Zhang Anshi said disappreciatively: "What you want is your estimate." โ€

"Then the official is so good to think about it."

Zhang Anshi waited directly until the second half of the night, Gao Xiangfang opened his dark circles, arrived at the house, and sent the book to Zhang Anshi.

Therefore, the more we get to this point, the more we need to walk on thin ice and not make any mistakes.

Zhang Anshi looked at him directly and said, "How much is the number, you can tell me directly." โ€

Gao Xiang said seriously: "Xiaguan's calculation is relatively conservative, it is two million and two hundred thousand. โ€

"Poof" Zhang Anshi squirted out a sip of tea: "How can there be so many, several times the age of last year?" โ€

This answer is amazing enough!

Gao Xiang said. For more than a year, businessmen gathered, plus ...... So many transactions, there are several workshop areas, not to mention, so many mining areas, and again, we have added six more counties, not to mention Qixia and the county seat, just the markets in each township, and now the shops are also numerous. โ€

Zhang Anshi calmed down and said, "Go to the year's money and grain book, and sort it out for me." Oh, and do you know the number of Ying Tianfu? โ€

This is really embarrassing Gao Xiang, "Ah, this." โ€

Zhang Anshi smiled and said authentically; "Find a way, get it for me, even if you don't have it here, the household department always has it, go to the person from the household department, and tell him that I, Zhang Anshi, want a copy of Yingtianfu and a copy of Suzhou...... Teach them to be delivered by noon tomorrow. โ€

Gao Xiang was confused: "What do you want them to do?" โ€

Zhang Anshi smiled and replied unexpectedly: "You call some scribes in the house again, and I will teach them to make a thing." โ€

If not, the Hanlin and Imperial History of the Manchu Dynasty, one by one, are by no means fuel-efficient lamps.

Gao Xiang:

A priest came with a few scribes, and they were pitiful, and they didn't sleep with Gao Xiang all night, and their eyelids were already fighting.

However, when they heard that Zhang Anshi invited them to go, they immediately applied ice water to their faces, and then came over with vigor and saluted.

Zhang Anshi said casually: "In the middle of the night, it's hard. โ€

The official said with a serious expression: "Serving the governor is willing to die." โ€

Zhang Anshi laughed: "You guy has a very sweet mouth." โ€

The official snapped directly, knelt down, and said, "Governor, what the lower officials say comes from the bottom of their hearts, and there is no lie." Xiaguan ...... Xiaguan has been appointed as the chief secretary of Shanyang County, Huai'an Prefecture, and today is the last day to be on duty in the government office, and Xiaguan ...... Xiaguan ...... A subordinate official, if it is not for the governor......"

I almost choked up.

Zhang Anshi stood up and said, "I see, when you get there, you have to do a good job and don't embarrass me." โ€

"Nature." The priest said: "The life of the subordinate official will be the material in the future." โ€

So everyone hurriedly said, "Yes." โ€

"Shh Zhang Anshi said: "Don't say these words, your life will always be your own, just do something good for me!" Come, arise, and I will teach you to make a thing, and you will do as I do, do you have a ruler? And also...... Take a small pen. โ€

A moment later, the priest and a few scribes prepared a ruler and a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

In front of them, Zhang Anshi began to spread out the paper, measured the ruler, and began to draw the table.

It didn't take long for the boxy tables to be drawn.

Everyone was confused, thinking that Zhang Anshi was painting, but later found out that it was not.

Zhang Anshi immediately began to fill in the words in this blank box, and wrote the words: Taiping Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion Yingtianfu and so on.

The first box of the column continues to fill in the blanks.

There was a deep puzzle on everyone's faces.

So someone couldn't help but say, "Dudu, this is." โ€

Zhang Anshi said with a smile as he wrote: "This is called a form. โ€

Zhang Anshi was satisfied, and said to Gao Xiang with a smile: "It was Gao Shaoyin who said my heart." โ€

"Forms."

Two chapters delivered, and there are two more chapters today, updated before twelve o'clock in the evening.

Gao Xiang said modestly: "Where is it, the lower official is just making a summary for the grandfather, and it is not enough to worry about it." โ€

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Now the summer grain has been collected, but the summer tax has not been completely completed. The commercial tax is not only related to the money and grain of the state treasury, but also related to the expenditure of the Taiping Mansion in the coming year, and the matter is very important, and it is not trivial, and the issue of commercial tax is more complicated than the grain tax. โ€

Then he sat down and looked at Gao Xiang.

The crowd listened attentively.

But at this time, someone from outside hurriedly came: "The officials are here." โ€

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised.

Although this matter has been seen, I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

After a while, I saw a man walking in with you.

This is the new official of the Ministry of Gong Examination Qing Officials Shilang, as soon as the person arrived, he hurried to Zhang Anshi, saluted and said: "Xiaguan Huang Jing, I have seen the grandfather." โ€

Speaking of which, the officials did not suffer the losses of the Taiping Mansion, folded a book, and this Huang Jing's predecessor, it can be said that Huang Jing was psychologically prepared before he came.

All in all, you have to pay good attention to this Wei Guogong.

He smiled at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi looked at him calmly and said, "Huang Langzhong is here, why is it here?" โ€

Gao Xiang's days with Zhang Anshi were not short, and the two also developed some tacit understanding between each other.

Huang Jing was not trembling, and said bluntly: "By the edict of His Royal Highness the Prince, I came to read out some appointments. โ€

Zhang Anshi nodded, sat down, and said, "Okay, you read it." โ€

ยท, Huang Jing saluted again, and said: "This dare is good, there are a lot of people, and the prince said: Yin Gaoxiang of Taiping Mansion."

Hearing that it was Gao Xiang who was reciting, many people were a little confused.

originally thought that Gao Xiang should not move, after all, he was already Shaoyin.

And Gao Xiang is obviously very satisfied with his current status, anyway, if he follows Wei Guogong, there will always be a chance in the future.

Who knows.

"Diligent and hardworking, familiar with the affairs of the Taiping Mansion, so that from now on, he will be appointed as the governor of the Taiping Mansion"

Hear here.

Everyone was directly stunned.

At this time, Zhang Anshi's eyes, Gao Xiang immediately understood.

You must know that the Taiping Mansion Yin is already the third product.

But more than a year ago, Gao Xiangcai was just a mere six-grade acquaintance.

It's in the blink of an eye.

The most important thing is that Gao Xiang directly served as the chief officer from the adjutant, but here, it is different.

Because the cases of adjutant officers being directly promoted to chief officers are relatively rare, even if they are favored by their superiors, there will be a transition.

For example, in a situation like Shaoyin, he may often go to the DPRK to take up a position in a ministry or in the Nine Secretaries, and then he may be entrusted with an important task.

After all, this is the Fu Yin at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and his appointment needs to be pushed by the court.

Not only that, but everyone knows the situation in Taiping Mansion now. After all, the authority in his hands is too great, so much money and food, and everyone is in the limelight, his status is not under Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin, generally such an appointment is more concerned by the emperor, and he often has a certain trust in this person, and the emperor is willing to nod when the results of the court push come out.

And now, Gao Xiang, a person who was penniless before, is now ...... directly became famous in one fell swoop.

Gao Xiang was even more stunned, obviously, he was more surprised than the others.

He coughed, stood up, and made a summary: "Grandpa's words just now are from the bottom of his heart, and they are for your good, my lord...... How many people are eyeing us in this Taiping Mansion, and how many people are just waiting to pick out a little fault from us? โ€

He looked surprised, and he subconsciously said, "Weiwei Guogongcai." โ€

Huang Jing smiled and said, "Gaofu Yin, Wei Guogong naturally has another appointment. โ€

All of a sudden, the officials in the hall began to talk to each other one by one, and everyone looked at Gao Xiang excitedly.

And Gao Xiang still feels dizzy, and he doesn't know what to say.

In the end, his eyes were red, and he gradually burst into tears, and first glanced at Zhang Anshi gratefully, in his opinion, without Zhang Anshi, there would be no him today.

After that, he bowed down and headed in the direction of the Forbidden City: "Thanksgiving." โ€

is prostrate on the ground at the moment, not because of etiquette, but because his legs are weak and he can't stand up.

Only he himself knew that more than a year ago, he still felt that his future could be seen at a glance, and it was not even possible to rise to the prefect.

On the one hand, he has shallow connections, and on the other hand, he has been trapped in the Taiping Mansion and it is difficult to get ahead.

But now, it is obviously completely different, he has a place in the temple.

"The world is dangerous! Now this little mistake, my grandfather can still cover it up for you and protect you, but once the small mistake becomes a big mistake, when the time comes, it will be too late to regret it. โ€

In the future, I will also have the capital to boast about myself to my children and grandchildren.

At that moment, the tears that overflowed his eyes couldn't help but spill out, and he was full of emotion for a while, only feeling that fate made people and achieve his own creation, and it was Wei Guogong, of course, there was also the New Deal.

Huang Jing didn't stop, he began to roll call one by one in an orderly manner.

There are a lot of people who want to be promoted, but some people are here, and some people are not, there are more than 300 people.

This made Huang Jing think of the time when Emperor Taizu Gao.

At that time, he was just watching the government in the ministry, and he saw with his own eyes that because of the empty seal case, many officials' heads were cut off, so that everyone was in danger, and no one knew who lost the black yarn next, and even because the jinshi was not enough, it was not enough to lift people, so he simply ...... As soon as the heads of the people on this side fell off, on the other side, there were officials who ran to the Guozi School to find the inmates who were studying.

Huang Jing will never forget that scene.

But now, here, it seems that everything is repeating itself.

Among them, several county orders he named, and even a fellow acquaintance, was actually just a secretary who didn't even have an official body more than a year ago.

This official is now the county magistrate of the county, and when he hears that he is about to be promoted to the rank of Tongzhi, he is almost fainting, and he is only drowsy, and he has forgotten even his thanks, as if he was drunk.

Gao Xiang has been up and down in the sea for many years, in fact, he already knows the thoughts of the big guys.

People have expectations for their future.

These official positions, if they are placed in front of those noble Hanlin and imperial historians, belong to exile, but in the eyes of these once penniless people, this kind of carp jumping into the dragon gate can be imagined.

Everything was so sudden that when this good thing befell me, I couldn't help but be caught off guard and burst into tears.

More than half an hour passed before Huang Jing panted and made an ending.

At this time, his mouth was already dry, but he still smiled at Zhang Anshi and said, "Grandpa...... It has been read out. โ€

Zhang Anshi's reaction was quite calm, and he nodded at him and said, "Do you want to stay and have a sip of tea?" โ€

"No, no, no, you don't have to ......" Huang Jing smiled: "Grandpa is polite, the lower official still needs to go to his life." โ€

"That's very good." Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Then I won't send it." โ€

"No, no." The man said this, and hurried away without hesitation.

Immediately afterward, the government was boiling.

Therefore, his words made these nine counties up and down, one by one.

Gao Xiang stared straight at Zhang Anshi and said, "Isn't Grandpa no longer controlling the officials and waiting?" โ€

Hearing Gao Xiang's words, many people calmed down all of a sudden.

Yes, we have all been promoted, and Gao Xiang has also become the governor of the palace, which can be described as a complete merit.

But everyone is not a fool, they are hardcore Zhang Dang, by following Zhang Anshi to implement the new policy, there is today, although this official is promoted, but then they need to implement the new policy in various prefectures and counties, how many people are staring at them with ill intentions, they have already made an unknown number of enemies.

If Zhang Anshi no longer cares about this file, it will be terrible......

Everyone knows that Wei Guogong is a big tree that can shelter them from the wind and rain, so everyone is willing to work hard.

Otherwise, don't look at them one by one, the prefect, the young Yin, and the county order, but what are they in the eyes of others?

As far as Lang Zhong, who was the official of the Ministry of Rites, shook his legs, and it was enough for them to drink a pot.

Zhang Anshi glanced at everyone, and immediately understood everyone's thoughts, so he smiled and said, "Ahem...... Well, it depends on what Your Majesty means, we are all courtiers, so naturally ......"

"Grandpa......" Gao Xiang even raised his voice unconsciously, and became anxious: "If this is the case, Xia Guan would rather not be the Yin of this mansion, and the Yin of this mansion ......"

To be honest, they can be where they are today because of the result of Zhang Anshi's implementation of the New Deal.

"You guy, this is an appointment from the ministry, do you think it's child's play?" Zhang Anshi said with a straight face.

After a pause, his face softened, and he said, "Don't worry, you don't have to take this matter to heart, this matter ...... Not to mention that His Majesty has his own opinions, all in all, I definitely can't let go of this mess. โ€

It wasn't until the evening that the eunuchs in the palace came to Qixia.

The decree was read: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Wei Guogong, Taiping Mansion Yin Zhang Anshi, meritorious service in governing the land, merit in Sheji, edict as the governor of the right capital of Zhili, governor of Taiping Mansion, Fengyang Mansion, Huai'an Mansion, Anqing Mansion, Chizhou affairs, Qinzai." โ€

The will is very simple, but it is very informative.

Gao Xiang received the order with Zhang Anshi, and he couldn't hide his joy immediately.

When the eunuch left, a group of officials in the palace surrounded Zhang Anshi.

This Gao Xiang said: "There is a special official position for this purpose, which can be seen...... How much do Your Majesty and the Imperial Court expect from the new Deal, Wei Guogong ...... No, the Governor ......"

Gao Xiang still felt that it was more pleasant to call the governor: "This is a sign that the new policy is about to be vigorously implemented, so it is not in vain that the governor has worked hard." โ€

It's not just that there's no wasted effort.
