Xu Jingchang's assassin strike, in terms of skill, has been at least more than twenty years.

Cabinet ministers, at this moment it is cloudy, miserable and bitter...... The surname is Xu, you can't be so excessive!

It's just that they complain, they rebel, it's useless.

Xu Jingchang is righteous and strict, and there are a lot of reasons.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that you need a minister by your side, and so many heavy official documents are inseparable from manpower. But as the saying goes, the prime minister must start from the state department, and the fierce general must start from the army. Although the cabinet scholars are not really prime ministers, they are by His Majesty's side, full of advice, and participate in court politics, if they are only good at writing, it is still far from enough. We must be familiar with local affairs and understand the people's feelings, so as to better assist Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Di was slightly moved, but still hesitated, "Can they do it?" ”

"Your Majesty, all the scholars are knowledgeable and talented, they uphold the holy will, and go to the four mansions of Susong Changzhen, all in front of the eyes of the Son of Heaven, and the imperial court will be able to go back and forth in a day or two. If you want to say that something big will happen, the minister will never believe it. Just take advantage of this move to implement the national policy and train talents, or in a year or two, a few bachelors will return to the court, and they will definitely be able to better assist Your Majesty, and the treasury will be full at that time, and the finances will be very different. In short, the minister thinks that this matter is really good, please Your Majesty to investigate. ”

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, "You also said that." But do you have any ideas on which four bachelors need to be sent from these four prefectures? ”

"Yes!" Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "The minister thought that he could send Yang Shiqi, Hu Guang, Jin Youzi first, and ......"

Xu Jingchang paused, these three were all from Jiangxi, according to the original idea, if Xie Jin was stuffed in, the four Jiangxi people would be perfect.

However, Xu Jingchang still has an extra mind, don't overdo everything, especially the promising cabinet bachelor, so Xu Jingchang said: "Plus Yang Rong, he is from Fujian, Lao Cheng is serious, he is the head of the four, and he is in charge of Suzhou, which is the most suitable." ”

Zhu Di thought about it, and went to these four people, leaving Huang Huai, Xie Jin and Yang Pu, and if Hu Yan is counted, there are still two Jiangxi people.

That is to say, the cabinet of the Yongle Dynasty has eight bachelors, and Jiangxi people account for five.

As the largest province in the imperial examination in the early Ming Dynasty, Jiangxi produced Jinshi with high quality and large number of people, so there is a saying that the courtiers are half of Jiangxi and Hanlin is more than auspicious water.

Due to the large number of civil officials in Jiangxi, it is also the province with the most tax arrears in the entire Ming Dynasty.

No matter how much you push it, you just can't pay the tax in full.

Earlier, Xu Jingchang asked Xia Yuanji to include the remaining parts of various places in the income of the household department...... It was found that the survival of various places was generally about half.

However, when he arrived in Jiangxi, not only did he retain more than seventy percent, but he was also in arrears continuously, and those who should have been shipped to the imperial court were not lucky.

Anyway, most of the officials who do things are from Jiangxi, see what the imperial court can do to us?

If this is an ordinary person, he will only think about suppressing the Jiangxi gentry, sending capable officials, and trying every means to get the arrears of taxes.

But Xu Jingchang opened up a new track and came up with a new method.

I sent a few cabinet scholars from Jiangxi to Jiangnan and put them in charge of the four prefectures of Susong Changzhen.

This is the important place of imperial court taxation, and it is also the key to Zhu Di's enrichment of the treasury.

If everything goes well, the Son of Heaven gets the money, the people get the benefits, and they are all happy if they don't say anything.

But if it can't be done, Xu Jingchang will then admonish and send officials to thoroughly investigate Jiangxi's arrears.

At that time, the fish will be dead and the net will be broken, and the fun will be great.

Jiangxi gentry, or Jiangnan gentry...... Take your pick.

For the sake of outsiders, sacrificing his hometown, such a selfless person is bound to be remembered by the people of his hometown, as for what the result is, you can think for yourself!

Therefore, Xu Jingchang's badness is really in his bones, and he is specially embarrassed by others.

When the decree reached the cabinet, his face suddenly changed, and several bachelors were dumbfounded.

Yang Rong, Jin Youzi, Hu Guang, Yang Shiqi, who were named by name, as well as Yang Pu, Huang Huai, and Xie Jin, who were lucky to stay, looked at each other, and no one could speak.

After a long time, Yang Shiqi said, "Brother Jie'an, where are you from?" ”

Jie'an is Huang Huai's number, and he said in a deep voice: "I am from Wenzhou Mansion, Zhejiang." ”

Yang Pu also took the initiative to say: "I am the head of Huguang Shi. ”

Yang Rong is a native of Fujian, and he is fortunate that there is no Nanzhili in the cabinet.

"Now that the matter is over, you might as well make it clear, this is the matter of cutting meat and mending sores, where to cut the meat, the meaning of the court is already very clear. We are this sharp blade, whether we can cut it or not depends on our ability. Yang Shiqi said in a muffled voice.

The rest looked at each other, but only Xie Jin hesitated: "No, I have seen the strategy of the imperial court, and it is still beneficial to the country and the people." ”

"Benefiting the country and the people is not conducive to the gentry and wealthy families." Yang Rong snorted: "Now, if you can't do this in Jiangnan, it will inevitably fall to Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Fujian...... All of us can only work together inside and outside, with one heart and one mind, whether we go out or stay, we must take care of each other, do our best, and get things done. Otherwise, not to mention that the imperial court has no foothold, the hometown fathers will also poke our backbone! ”

A few people exchanged glances, and it was true that there was no way out.

Yang Shiqi proposed: "Let's have a drink, don't leave it at that." ”

The rest of the people nodded, raised their glasses, and drank the mixed spirits.

Subsequently, Yang Rong and others, with the title of cabinet bachelor, respectively hung up the prefects of the four prefectures and went directly to their posts.

Xie Jin went to see them off, and looking at the backs of several people, he suddenly had a feeling that the wind was sluggish and the water was cold, and the strong man would never return.

He hurriedly shook his head, but he couldn't shake off this thought.

Thinking about it, he was put on gardening leave by Xu Jingchang, and he hibernated at home for several months, almost ending his career.

Now it's Xu Jingchang again, and in a few words, he sent out a few cabinet upstarts to serve as the prefect, and he charged into battle.

What does it mean to turn your hands into clouds and cover your hands for rain!

Xie Jin can be regarded as a thorough understanding.

According to his temper in the past, he was arrogant and arrogant, and he would not take Xu Jingchang, who was young and relied on his family connections to become a political envoy, in his eyes.

But after his own lesson, he witnessed what happened to his colleagues...... Xie Jin suddenly realized, although he has not experienced the baptism of the edict and prison, and it is not authentic, but Xie Jin has seen through it, this Ming Dynasty, some people speak more effectively than the Son of Heaven.

The next day, Xie Jin went to the market, carefully selected a set of four treasures of the study, and then came to Xu's mansion to meet Xu Jingchang.

"The lower officials' families are poor, and they only have this little heart, and I hope that the political envoy will not mind."

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Can you not mind?" This is the first time you have come to give a gift? Have you ever given it to someone before? ”

Xie Jin lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "I also sent it to my teacher." ”

Xu Jingchang smiled all over his face, "Thank you Master Xie, I will cherish this four treasures of the study." ”

With that, Xu Jingchang got up, took Xie Jin's wrist, and the two of them went straight to his small fish pond.

"Do you know how to fish?"

Xie Jin said: "Yes, but it's not good to fish." ”

Xu Jingchang said very generously: "It's okay, once it is born and twice cooked, it will be done slowly." ”

They sat down by the fish pond, Xu Jingchang put on the bait, threw out the hook, and chatted with Xie Jin, "Your Majesty asked you to repair the book, do you have eyebrows about this?" ”

Xie Jin was stunned for a moment, and said busily: "Xu Tongzheng, I went back and thought about it, if you recruit Hongru into Beijing and repair books together, not to mention the huge cost, just some people are too old and have traveled thousands of miles to Beijing, and before they have repaired the books, people may be gone, which is really not a virtue politics." It's just that the holy will is like this, and the lower officials don't know how to persuade His Majesty, and they are in a dilemma. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Actually, you have to think about it carefully, what is the matter with the Holy Will?" Your Majesty doesn't know how to cultivate the Yongle Grand Canon...... It's just that he thinks that he is a tome, majestic and decent, and can promote his cultural and martial arts and highlight his status. In fact, our majesty is very concerned about the matter of appeasement. ”

Xie Jin nodded hurriedly and said, "Xia Guan understands, but Xia Guan can't figure out the essentials yet." ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Tomes have the benefits of tomes, but a book, thousands of copies, the number of words is incalculable." How to print? How to spread? Even if someone wants to buy it, who can afford it? ”

Xie Jin was stunned, "That's true, Xu Tongzheng has a high opinion." ”

Xu Jingchang said again: "What does Bachelor Xie think is the most popular book on the market?" ”

Xie Jin thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "In addition to the three-character scripture and the hundred family names used by children, I am afraid that it is a perpetual calendar, and every household, even if they don't know a few words, can use it." Choosing a good day and grasping the agricultural time are inseparable. ”

Xu Jingchang nodded again and again, "Sure enough, he is a great talent, and he can understand it at one point." You get your Majesty a pamphlet that is easy to disseminate, and that's it. ”

"So what do you want to write about?"

"Just write that our country is called Daming, the year name is Yongle, there are six departments in the imperial court, there are county officials in the locality, the people have to pay taxes, and grievances have to be appealed...... In short, write about things that the people can use, and then subtly instill something into it...... You know what I mean, right? ”

Xie Jin looked at Xu Jingchang like a monster, I don't accept anyone, just serve Xu Tongzheng.

is also two shoulders carrying a head, how can the gap between this person and man be so big!

Repairing such a booklet, for him, is easy to grasp, it is not troublesome at all, and it is easy to disseminate, and His Majesty will definitely be happy.

"Xu Tongzheng, thank you, this method is so good, I want to ask Your Majesty for ......"

"Not necessarily." Xu Jingchang waved his hand, "Don't let your majesty do whatever he wants, just spend money indiscriminately." Otherwise, even if there is a mountain of gold, it will not be able to stand His Majesty's toss, and none of us will have a hard time at that time. ”

Xie Jin nodded, "Xia Guan understands, I'll go and prepare." ”

said that it was a preparation, in order to relieve Jin's talent, and in less than half a month, this book was compiled.

When he came to the palace with an excited heart and trembling hands, and handed it to Zhu Di, the whole person seemed to be hanging. It tasted no better than a prisoner awaiting a sentence.

Zhu Di just watched silently, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Bachelor Xie, how much can be printed?" ”

Xie Jin was stunned for a moment and replied: "At the beginning, Emperor Taizu wanted every household to have a big message, but the content of the big book is still too much, and such a book is only one-fifth of the big book. The minister thought that if he didn't say that he had a copy, he could be about the same. ”

Zhu Di took a deep breath and said slowly: "So, I finally have one thing that is comparable to the emperor's exam!" ”

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
