Chapter 198: The Hearts of the Officials and the People

As a puppet emperor, Yuan Shanjian became more and more resistant to the court, which could have reached the courtiers and showed the demeanor of a king.

The general's five baht money?

In all dynasties, how can there be such an unsophisticated minister.

The little emperor is shallow, Gao Cheng doesn't know what Yuan Shanjian thinks, otherwise he has to tell him that there is a powerful minister who not only scolded the dog's feet, but also asked his subordinates to beat the Son of Heaven three times in public.

Compared with that person, with the service of his little high king, you should be happy when you Yuan Shanjian.

The courtiers exchanged words and could not change anything, Gao Cheng's eyes swept away, and everyone was silent.

The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, but it is easy to defend the mouth of the officials in the court.

No matter how unwilling Yuan Shanjian is in his heart, it is difficult to change the resolution of Gao Cheng, the villain.

Enduring the humiliation, Motozen agreed to push the general's five-baht coin across the country.

Even if you don't agree, what can you do, it's just to let Gao Longzhi grab the seal again afterwards.

The iniquity of the predecessors has corrupted the country, and the aftergenerations have suffered.

After the court meeting, Gao Cheng did not rush to issue a decree, and built a hundred coins in Gao Longzhi and accumulated a certain number of new coins.

It was drafted by the Zhongshu Province and reviewed by the Menxia Province, and the government decree was officially promulgated to push the general's five-baht coin to the forefront.

Gao Cheng followed the practice of the original owner and hung two scales at the market gate in Luoyang and various prefectures, towns, counties and counties for the people to use to weigh the weight of the currency.

At the same time, Gao Cheng also severely cracked down on illegal coinage, and countless bad money dealers were ruined because of this.

In the eighth year of Taichang, on the seventy-fourth day of July, Yecheng City was set and two scales were suspended.

The marketman in charge of the market whispered at the door:

"The imperial court issued enough new coins, and if there is no doubt, you can weigh them with a scale."

The crowd of onlookers erupted in laughter, and Zhang Guanren hugged a piece of cloth and squeezed into it, also with a look of trust.

The city secretary continued to shout:

"That's the little general's new deal, and the new coin is also minted by the little general."

The crowd immediately fell silent, and everyone exchanged words to know if the new coin was real.

Because of Low Cheng's past love for the people, all the believers believed in it.

The city division took the scale, and counted hundreds of dollars in public, just as the low Cheng weighed that day, weighing seven taels and seventy baht per catty.

I carried the scale pole and let the people around me look around, and everyone suspected that the new coin was really heavy.

"That's called the little general's seven baht money!"

The city secretary said proudly, and the exclamation of seven weeks made me feel unhonored.

Liao Liangping is the same as everyone else, and before I knew that it was low Cheng's doing, I was not convinced that the new currency was full of weight.

Eight years have passed, and the former soldiers have not faded their youth, and because of the low payment of military salaries, Liao Liangping's life outside his home has become a little narrower.

That is, I brought a piece of cloth to the market today, not to exchange it for my one-year-old son, Wang Gongyun, to withdraw from school and exchange it for jerky.

Whenever others ask about the origin of his son's name, Zhang Guanren always has to talk to us well.

This is the first year of Taichang, and the imperial court searched for impostor officials, involving more than 70,000 people, and a small part of them were officials.

In order to replace the vacancy, Low Cheng hired people by exam, and the first stop was not in Yecheng.

At that time, Zhang Guanren still remembers it vividly.

In order to prevent fraud, the low Cheng ordered the soldiers to monitor the candidates one-on-one, and after the exam, we had to be sent out of the small camp, which was allowed to stay.

Zhang Guanren was monitoring Yuan Shanjian, who had been the envoy of Xiangzhou Juntian and was now promoted to Xiangzhou to study.

Xiangzhou is a new official position established by Low Cheng, in charge of the state and county school administration.

I suffered the loss of my parents' education, and because there was no well outside the house, I was called Zhang Guanren.

Because I witnessed the opening of the examination room by Low Cheng, he paid attention to fairness and prevented fraud, just to hire with knowledge.

At that time, Zhang Guanren had the idea of letting his children study in the future.

Sent Yuan Shanjian out of the camp, but when he left, he stopped me and begged me to give a name to his one-year-old son.

Yuan Shanjian only thought for a moment, so he wrote two words on the ground and told Zhang Guanren that it was fair.

Before sending Yuan Shanjian away, Zhang Guanren copied them underground for a long time, and finally learned those two words, and since then his son has lost Wang Gongyun's name.

Eight years have passed, Zhang Guanren has not stopped thinking about letting his son study, and I have no intention of smashing the pot and selling iron for Wang Gongyun to study, but I did find a place to drop out.

What's more, eight years have passed, and the original examination for the admission of officials has not been carried out.

Just as Liao Liangping had not yet died of that heart, he was ready to let Wang Gongyun's son inherit his father's business and become a state and county soldier, at most he would not have a military salary of eight stones per year.

Low Cheng suddenly issued a decree abolishing the four-grade Zhongzheng system and selecting people by imperial examinations, such as the examination of that year will be constant once every eight years.

As long as you pass the state examination, you can become an official, and you can become an official if you pass the Beijing examination.

That's the case, Low Cheng also promoted Mongolian learning outside the prefectures, counties and townships, and also made special people, including Wang Gongyun, have no place to study.

Those two decrees made Zhang Guanren's thoughts of giving up come alive again.

In terms of Yuan Shanjian's diligence, Yecheng is the county school capital of Zhizhou has been established, and a few schools have been opened, and there is no one far away from Zhang Guan's house.

Zhang Guanren was not firm, exchanged the cloth in his arms for new coins, prepared dried meat for Mr. Meng Xue outside the market, and took home some remaining coins in his arms.

Low Cheng deliberately made a provision that Mr. Meng Xue was supported by the state, and he needed to pay additional tuition, but he still made a provision that he needed to send a piece of dried meat as a bundle for admission.

Liao Liangping just retreated, and at the urging of his daughter-in-law, he took the one-year-old Wang Gongyun to the Mengxue school.

Offering a bundle to Mr. is also a real drop out of school.

Holding Wang Gongyun's hand out of the school building, Liao Liangping deliberately walked to the office of the school and said earnestly:

"Fair, the origin of his name, you have also said a few times, it is given by Liao Liangping, Liao Liangping used to rely on agriculture for a living, but I have read, the little general opened the scientific examination that year, and I became an official with my own knowledge, he needs to know that as long as you study hard, you can also be a petty official like that."

Wang Gongyun nodded, and I shifted my gaze from my father's face to the plaque of the Tixue Academy, and said in a childish childish voice:

"Grandpa is worried, you must study hard, and become a petty official in the future, so that he can enjoy a good life!"

Zhang Guanren rubbed his son's head and said with a smile:

"If you really become an official, you must also learn from Zhang Dexing and be a good official."

Immediately, Zhang Guanren told Wang Gongyun about Yuan Shanjian's hard work in Juntian in those years.

"It is precisely because Liao Liangping is dedicated to the people and fairly that he has won the attention of the little general, and now the Bohai Mansion in Yecheng has to send two pieces of cloth to Zhang Dexing's mansion on time every month to reward my integrity."

"Two pieces of cloth! Is this Zhang Dexing very rich? ”

Wang Gongyun asked in surprise.

Zhang Guanren smiled:

"Zhang Dexing exchanged these two pieces of cloth for rice and grain every month to help the poor."

Wang Gongyun, who has been stupid since he was a child, sighed:

"This Zhang Dexing is really a good official."

Liao Liangping shook his head and said:

"Without the little general, the officialdom can accommodate a good official like Liao Liangping."

"However, you heard that the little general is greedy for money and lustful, and he is a good person."

Wang Gongyun wondered.

Liao Liangping was excited when he heard that, and Low Cheng couldn't even say that he was the most respected person in my life.

It was I who paid my military salaries and divided the land equally for my small family, and it was I who opened the imperial examinations and promoted culture and education, giving us the opportunity to rise to the top.

Liao Liangping hurriedly told his son that the so-called greed for money and lust were all slanders against the little general by these wealthy families.

I took the example of greed for money and told Wang Gongyun that Low Cheng was only scavenging money to build a school building.

In my father's teachings, the one-year-old Wang Gongyun was full of reverence for the low Cheng, although we had never been masked.

Low Cheng didn't know that he was far away in Yecheng, and he didn't have such a die-hard fan.

I must know, I have to ask the next sentence, greedy for money and lustful, why only take greedy for money as an example!

In fact, Zhang Guanren is not a special case, since Low Cheng came to power, the number of people who have received my favor is victorious.

There is no Xianbei deterrence in the eight towns, and there is no support from the people at the bottom, which is also the confidence for me to run rampant in the court and act recklessly.

For example, the matter of Zhang Guanren sending his son to study was common in various parts of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the root cause of this was first of all to pay the soldiers military salaries at a low level, so that our living standards could be improved.

Secondly, it is also a stable teenager in Henan and Hebei, whether there are small-scale natural disasters, and the low Cheng evenly divides the acres of land and resumes production, which also makes the special people less or more without some surplus.

People who have no foresight, seeing that their sons are intelligent, are also willing to tighten their belts for us to study, in the hope of changing our fate.

Even if you have a reputation in the future and be able to write and write, there is no way out than a small person who knows small words.

Before the construction of school buildings in various places, the state and county government schools had no students because they had to wait until next year's imperial examination, so Low Cheng was concerned about the enrollment of Mongolian schools.

The feedback he got also made Low Cheng feel gratified: the notoriety of low peeling was not in vain.

But it is precisely the notoriety of looting Buddhist and Taoist property with the notoriety of low-level skin, but it is used for the good deeds of building school buildings and exempting children from school fees, and making the low-level people appreciate my kindness.

Among them, there is no reason why I didn't listen to the seven preaching of the Wangsi on my behalf, and the king of the great low has a negative attitude.

The thing of the low Cheng sample hand is that it is a small cultural and educational development, and it is not yet a small general's seven-baht coin because of its heavy characteristics, and it is generally accepted by the people.

He may be a little general, but he must love the little general's seven baht money.

Low Cheng took it up for two days and inspected the printing houses and mints around Luoyang.

Before erecting the platform of the mint, Low Longzhi, as a brick for the construction of Xiao Wei, also unloaded that burden.

Low Cheng is also a white-hearted landlord, whether there is a horse to arrange work for me, always let Low Longzhi rest for a few days, yes, an engineering calf, was called by himself to die of overwork, and the loss is small.

It is Yuwentai who cares about the various reforms of Low Cheng, and Low Huan, who is teasing Sun in Jinyang, is also paying attention.

Compared with Low Cheng's work on state affairs, Low Huan is indeed less idle.

Entrust all government affairs to Low Cheng and concentrate on leading the army, but in the final analysis, the most important job is to restore morale.

Low Huan's health has been better recently, I often appeared, went to Jinyang Xiaoying a few laps, talked and laughed with the people of Bazhen Township, and recalled that since the Zhu clan was punished, we had the glory of victory, and the defeat of Hexi was just a matter of meaning.

The description of Wang Ajing's name is in Chapter 60, the description of Zhang Dexing is in Chapter 122 Yecheng Youxian, and Gao Cheng's gift of cloth is in Chapter 123 The Li family has a daughter.

Thanks to the group of friends and the Servant Terminator for reminding 'everyone loves the general, but you can't stand everyone loves the general's money'.
