Zheng Yuanjin was excited, got up and bowed to Wei Guangwei and Liu Lishun, and enthusiastically went to Zheng's mansion.

Wei Guangwei just came to make a show, and also got to know Liu Lishun, the magistrate. From Banzai's ear to him, he knew that Liu Lishun had a promising future.

"Long live the plaque, it is the supreme glory, but also the spur and encouragement." Wei Guangwei warned Zheng Yuanjin: "If you violate the law of the country because of this arrogance, this is the crime of unkindness-"

Zheng Yuanjin hurriedly reassured again and again, "Please rest assured, my family's innocent legacy, since the land is registered, although the ointment is exhausted, it is also a loser, and I dare not live up to the Holy Grace." ”

"That's fine." Wei Guangwei nodded at Liu Lishun and said, "Lord Liu, this official will turn around." In the future, if there is any difficulty in resolving official duties, you can report it, and the official will deal with it impartially. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wei." Liu Lishun bowed down and said, "Your Excellency is sent to your lordship." ”

Wei Guang smiled and nodded, got into the sedan chair, and walked away in the bowing of everyone.

"Thank you, Lord Liu, for your kind words." Zheng Yuanjin and his son gave a deep gift and thanked Liu Lishun.

Being able to get a plaque from the saint is certainly a means for the emperor to beat and pull, but without Liu Lishun's recommendation, how can the emperor know about the Zheng family, a local tyrant.

Liu Lishun raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Rewarding the law-abiding gentry is the Holy Longen, there are not many qualified people in this county, and the Zheng family actively loses the national tax, and is restrained and self-examined. This glory is also deserved. ”

After a pause, Liu Li said smoothly and seriously: "Dumen is conscientious, self-conscious, and self-motivated not to be involved in the public business." Remember, remember. ”

As he spoke, he turned to Zheng Shaokang again and admonished: "As a student, you should study for yourself, self-restraint, and follow the rules. ”

Zheng Shaokang bowed down to be taught, "Students remember the teachings of adults, and they dare not defend the legal net." ”

"Thank you for the warning." Zheng Yuanjin bowed down sincerely and said: "In the next place, 'complete the national lesson diligently, obey the law' as a family motto, so that the children and grandchildren will abide by it. ”

"That's very good." Liu Lishun showed a little smile on his face, and said, "This official still has official business to deal with, so I will leave." ”

"Master Liu walks slowly." Zheng Yuanjin understood Liu Lishun's warning, so he didn't get too close to the government, and he didn't dare to leave a handle for others to make friends with the government.

Liu Lishun arched his hand and returned to the county seat with a few officials.

For the holy plaque, each county only gives one or two places, and Liu Lishun agrees with and admires.

Only by cracking down and encouraging can we better guide public opinion and advocate a change in the atmosphere. At the same time, it can also play a role in stabilizing the place.

Let people know that the imperial court does not look at the Jiangnan gentry and students' eyes are blue, and blindly punish and suppress them. As long as you obey the meritorious orders and abide by the law, you don't have to worry too much.

What's more, the imperial court has lowered the quota of money and grain in the eight prefectures and one prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River, and there may be other reduction and exemption policies.

In this way, the common people got a respite, and the gentry and landlords also had less excuses for heavy taxes, and they could not get much sympathy if they were any more hidden.

"The whole discipline and the past accumulated habits" is the purpose of long live. But this is only the beginning, clearing the way for reform.

Liu Lishun can only speculate to this extent, but he doesn't know what other policies the emperor has to implement. Why is it so ruthless, and will there be more resistance to the policies that will be implemented?

His guess was right, but he didn't know how much sensation and impact the emperor's next step-by-step reform would bring. If the gentry and students are not able to fear and abide by the law, how great will the resistance be.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao also knew that it was not appropriate to rush into the new policy. Moreover, while cracking down on the inferior gentry, it is also necessary to appease.

Slap a sweet date, a similar method to this one! Or it is more appropriate to call it a combination of grace and power.

If a representative is found among the landlords, it is natural that the students will not be left behind. Zhu Youxiao also wanted to take this opportunity to show his attitude that the iron fist was not aimed at a certain group, but only at lawbreakers.

As long as you violate the law of the country, whether you are a "respectable" eunuch or a "talented" student, don't feel that you have a talisman, and the court will tolerate and indulge.

In front of Shen's house in Chongming, at this time, firecrackers were also ringing out, gongs and drums were noisy, and it was quite lively.

The plaque of "Honoring the Honor, Forgetting Home and Serving the Country" inscribed by the royal pen is hung high on the lintel, and the old man Shen Yong is dressed in a crown and accompanies the envoy diligently and enthusiastically.

In ancient times, there was a system of giving gifts to the sons and fathers of the courtiers, and the living ones were called "seals" and the deceased were called "gifts". If the courtier's grade is very high, he can also seal the second and third generations.

This is the same grace as the mother and wife of the vassal, and realizes the life ideal of the courtier to "glorify the ancestors and show his relatives and fame".

According to the provisions of the gift, Shen Yong obtained the title of Wensan-level Fengyi Doctor with the same quality as his son Shen Tingyang.

Such a huge surprise made Shen Yong so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he had long forgotten how many times he had scolded his son for being a "loser".

"Old man Shen has a good son, it can be seen that the children who are diligent in their studies have a family education background!" The Suzhou and Hangzhou weaving eunuch Wang Guozhong sent a plaque, and he couldn't help but praise it.

Shen Yong said humbly: "My father-in-law has won the award, and he has won the award." As he spoke, he let him inside, "My house has prepared thin wine, and I ask my father-in-law not to excuse myself." ”

Wang Guozhong smiled and said, "Then the miscellaneous family is welcome." ”

Shen Yong accompanied Wang Guozhong into the house, and the Shen family warmly greeted relatives and friends, as well as neighbors to celebrate.

Old man Shen is also a rich maritime businessman, since the battle of Wanli Korea, at the Ming court, sailing Chongming sand ship to carry sailors and supplies to reinforce Korea, arrived in Busan.

In the 478th year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty fought against the Later Jin, and then transferred the Chongming sand ship to reinforce Liaodong, and the fleet of the Shen family reached the Sanli River.

Therefore, the Shen family is familiar with the seaway, and Shen Tingyang has also been exposed to it since he was a child, and often trades in Qingdao, Yantai, Luda, Qinhuangdao, and Tianjin, and knows the seaway route well.

Having money, holding a banquet to celebrate such a great event is nothing to the Shen family. is also because of his money, he can withstand Shen Tingyang's toss of "breaking his home and buying ships to buy grain at his own expense".

But now, Shen Tingyang is not a toss, with the golden label of "forgetting home and serving the country", he can be described as a model for all life, and his future is bright.

And Old Man Shen has to be glad that he has such a "loser" son, who tossed himself as a businessman who could not have dreamed of being a five-grade official.

Who said that the emperor was full of malice towards Jiangnan merchants, rumors, pure rumors. Seal a five-grade essay at once, but it is higher than the people.

As for what "diligent children, family education origin", Shen Yong doesn't think it's too reputational. What's the matter, starting from me and my "loser son", the old Shen family has been glorious, and the next three or four generations are just as promising.
