"Futai didn't tell His Majesty the truth? Didn't you talk to your dad about it? Conscription is fundamental! What is the use of a city company? ”

Gui Cao's beard was about to explode: "There is no way to deal with the matter of the additional faction?" I just arrived in Huizhou Mansion, and it took me more than a month to clean up all the county officials below, so what's the use? Everyone is crying to me dad and calling mother, it's time to plant early rice in April, and they are all in service! ”

“…… The imperial court has its own rules. There are some words, Zhang Fujing can't say to Gui Cao, "Step by step, if the imperial court has a will, then we will finish the matter of Qingzhang's field first." Make it clear to the gentry and wealthy households that the focus of Guangdong's new law is currently only in the market. The law of the Hidden Field Country is not tolerated, and it is already an extrajudicial grace to just re-enter the register, if you still incite the villagers to make trouble, don't blame the ruthlessness of the sword of Ben Futai. ”

Gui Cao squinted his eyes but seemed to be glaring at him: "Current? Either they say that they will not be able to enslave themselves, and they will say that the fields are current, and the gentry are not stupid! Did the imperial court deliberately want to provoke a popular uprising in Guangdong? ”

Yang Shen was not as rigid as Gui Cao, and he could only look at Zhang En, the left envoy of the political government, with great concern now.

Today, the prefects of Guangdong and the prefectures directly under the central government have come to listen to the decree of the political envoys, and the imperial court's decree on the next step of Guangdong's new law has come down, and it is already the end of March in Guangdong.

Among the prefects, only Gui Cao is so fierce.

In front of so many people, what didn't I tell my dad about? Yang Shen was a little embarrassed.

Now, Gui Cao has also uttered such sharp accusations as "the imperial court wants to provoke a popular uprising in Guangdong".

But many prefects frowned and agreed.

It's almost time to start planting early rice in April. In Guangdong, two seasons of farming, early rice is planted in April, early rice is harvested in July, late rice is planted in August, and the harvest is to be harvested in October.

From next month, or from March, we will enter the busy season of farming, and we must not miss a moment, and we have to pray for good weather.

"Gui Zishi! Don't talk nonsense! Zhang En sank his face and reprimanded Gui Cao, "Uncle Zongzong recommended you to Guangdong, not to let you mess around, but to value your ability to do things!" ”

“…… The lower official has a bad temper and a straight temperament, and the uncle is afraid of recommending me to enter Beijing and poke the big basket, and leaving me in the southeast will definitely make the southeast uneasy! Gui Cao didn't know whether he was bragging or complaining about Zhang Zilin, "Isn't it because Guangdong wants to implement a new law?" Knowing that conscription is fundamental, and knowing that Guangdong is rice in both seasons, unlike the northern summer wheat and autumn rice farmers, they can be staggered, and they can send more to Guangdong, isn't this to provoke a popular uprising? ”

He said to his colleagues: "Brother Tai's Lianzhou Mansion, how many servants have been mobilized to help Pearl Pond pearl diving?" What about Brother Taiqiongzhou Mansion, how many Ding soldiers were levied into the mountains to pick rosewood? Guangzhou Mansion Xiqiao Mountain Yunwu Tea, Zhaoqing Mansion Dinghu Baiyun Tea, Shaozhou Mansion Caoxi Hanlu Tea, Jinshi Rock Tea...... Fantai, even if Guangdong doesn't need to release grain to Beijing this year, the people have to live! ”

Gui Cao snorted coldly: "Could it be that this year, only the official fields, official households, and rich households will grow grain?" Then in summer and autumn, wouldn't it be a price to sit on the ground? ”

Zhang Fujing said lightly: "Guangdong's grain prices can't be messed up. There was something going on in the southeast last year, and Benfu had been ordered to purchase new grain from Jiaozhi Zhancheng and put it into the warehouse. ”

Gui Cao was furious: "Don't you know that there are grain officials in the warehouse? Xu Zhizhi is known to the gentry and wealthy grain merchants! Futai, Fantai, don't blame the lower officials for speaking bluntly, at that time, the means of their generation, all the officials will know! ”

"Ben Fu went to Guangdong last year, and the main intention was to pay tribute to the city. Now he is temporarily acting as a governor, and this governor is only a constitutional place. Zhang Fujing didn't pay attention to Gui Cao anymore, and only said to Zhang En, "Fantai, there are three major events this year, Qingzhang Field, Zhuban and Tianfu, and Guangdong Township Test, and you will be able to arrange it properly." ”

"Futai rest assured." Zhang En replied to him calmly.

Zhang Fujing came to preach his will, and he didn't stay any longer.

After Zhang En sent him back to the lobby, he said to the heads of the prefectures under his jurisdiction: "What year has there been no annual office, sitting office, and miscellaneous office? Which year does the summer and autumn food not need to be careful? But whenever there is a disaster, which time is not the danger of civil unrest? Gui Governor's Mansion, don't be alarmist. This envoy has only one sentence: All prefectures and prefectures keep an eye on the people under their rule, and it is your duty to defend the land and the people! ”

Gui Cao was angry: Am I alarmist?

Either they will directly mobilize the conscription, and let some daring people jump out before the summer and autumn grains have no problems, or don't continue to clear the fields and send more conscriptions!

Staying up will only lead to a big change!

At this moment, Zhai Luanzheng, the new deputy envoy of Guangdong and the admiral of Xuezheng, and Zhu Yunming, Tang Yin, and Wen Zhengming, slowly took a boat south together.

"The three worshippers were given the same Jinshi background, and they deserved their name." Zhai Luan didn't dare to underestimate the people around him who were personally promoted by the emperor, "I wish to worship those who have served in Guangdong, and now the three of them are in Guangdong, not only to supervise Guangdong Xuezheng, but also to take this opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to revitalize the scientific name of Guangdong." ”

The three geniuses knew that he was testing their envoy to Guangdong, so they were a little embarrassed.

This Royal Ten Thousand Law Pavilion may be different from what you think, really.

But there is no way, His Majesty's new imperial study is too prominent, so this Royal Ten Thousand Law Pavilion is also very mysterious.

Zhu Yunming was the only one of the three of them who had been an official before, and at this time he could only reply humbly: "It's ridiculous, Your Majesty Longen, and the three of us are ashamed of it." At this time, Guangdong's talents gathered, Yang Zhifu's champion talent, the new science list eye, Tanhua are all there, and there are more local Confucians with outstanding reputations such as Huo Weixian and Fang Shuxian. ”

"How can the four great talents of Wuzhong be famous? It's hard to say, isn't Zhang Futai also failed in seven tests and soared to the sky? Zhai Luan's face was full of smiles, "This is a long time to go to the mountains and rivers, Zhai is fortunate to walk with the three worshippers, and he wants to ask the three for a lot of benefits." ”

“…… Where is it, last year with the great sect Bo Duxian southeast, the style spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, I need to ask for more advice. ”

No matter how he asked, the messengers of the three of them couldn't say it, and he was embarrassed to say it.

Anyway, after arriving in Guangdong, they just listened to Zhang Fujing's arrangement.

Things to do...... It's really a trip to the mountains and rivers everywhere, to see the customs and customs of Guangdong, to write poems and paintings, and to write more essays.

This is really not an official with an important mission.

If it's just poetry and painting, isn't it good to be leisurely in your hometown?

Even if the emperor thinks that the three talented people are kept in captivity as some court poets and painters, it is a little more leisurely to stay in the West Garden and help His Majesty's show girls to present their portraits.

Zhu Yunming looked at Tang Yin, who was getting worse: Don't die in Guangdong all the way.

……

Wei Bin is resigning from His Majesty.

The framework of the Emperor Ming Ji has been set up, and the seven major guilds to which they belong, grain, salt, cloth, and department stores have been sorted out for the time being, and the operation still relies on the manpower of the original family of the lords and relatives, with only some slight adjustments.

The newly established sea trade bank will be built after going to Guangdong.

As for the transfer of operation and labor service, that is the next step.

"When passing by Huguang, meet Gu Dayong." Zhu Houxi instructed him, "Let him secretly tell the Marquis of Zhenyuan again, and prepare for emergencies first." ”

Wei Bin obeyed the order awe-inspiringly.

Guangdong is now a powder keg, and when early rice is about to be planted, most people have already enlisted in the army since November last year, right?

If you are in a hurry and need to hand over to Beijing's annual office and sit down to complete it, you will miss the agricultural time.

Now it's not a matter for the people to try to scrape together money to pay for the service, there are too many things that need to be done after all.

Another point is the most important: the various tributes completed by Guangdong have to be transported to Beijing in June and July at the latest, and at that time, a large amount of manpower will be used to escort the transportation, but it is also the season to harvest early rice and plant late rice.

If there is no hope for early rice, you can still count on late rice, but if it is hopeless, what if it is hopeless?

Let Gu Shilong, the Marquis of Huguang General Soldier Town, prepare, just in case it may happen at that time, right?

Wei Bin couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, when the slave maid arrives in Guangdong, is it also preparing for the transfer?" It's just that there are ...... manpower in it."

Zhu Houxi looked at him with admiration, and he deserved to be the best brain among the ministers.

"The Marquis of Funing trained in Guangxi to suppress bandits, and many barbarians were captured. Liang Chu is in Guangdong, there is no shortage of ships and goods, and there is no shortage of homeless people in Jiaozhi. ”

"The slave and maid understand, and the slave and maid must hurry."

Zhu Houxi nodded: "Go ahead." Tell Mai Fu again, the ministers sent to the Guangdong City Bo Division, teach the people who have arranged the promotion to do a good job of accounting, and routinely look at the accounts, don't point fingers and keep the accounts yourself. ”

"The slave will bring His Majesty's will."

Another important force set off for Guangdong.

At this time, the show girls selected for the emperor's wedding and a new batch of female envoys in the palace from all over the country also embarked on a journey to Beijing.

As for the direct selection of female officials and female envoys in the palace, it is another line, which is generally only selected in Jiangnan. Female officials mainly choose widows, and the age conditions of female envoys are also much more relaxed than those of show women.

Zhu Houxi's draft is much faster because of the new rules - after all, there are many more active people.

Among the many convoys and fleets going to the capital, it is obvious that they are divided into several levels.

The daughters of the eunuchs and scholars are one category, the daughters of rich and large families are one category, and the daughters of ordinary households are one category.

Among them, they are divided into various small groups because of their personalities, willingness to enter the palace and many other reasons.

For them, this is a turning point in their fate. Some are apprehensive, others are expectant.

The time will not be fast yet.

At the beginning of February, the will came to various places one after another, and in March and April, all localities successively sent show girls to Beijing. After entering Beijing, each round of screening took another three or four months.

When everything is settled, it's going to be September, right?

At this moment in the palace, Huang Jin got up after making up for sleep, and after learning about the day's events, he came to Zhu Houxi.

"Your Majesty, the selected show girls in the vicinity such as Beizhili have arrived, will the slaves and maids arrange the first round of selection first, or will they arrange together when all places have arrived?"

He didn't shy away from Lin Qingping, who was still on the side, and at the same time felt a little strange in his heart: It's been almost four months, Qingping Niangniang's belly doesn't seem to be very competitive?

Zhu Houxi asked with interest: "How to choose the type?" ”

“…… It's too tall, too short, too fat, too thin, and choose it first. This election, more than 5,000 4,000. ”

"What's the next round?"

"That's the sound. If you want to listen to the show girl's speech, you have to see your facial features, hair, and neck. After this election, there are only two thousand left. ”

Zhu Houxi nodded and let him continue.

"Then there is gait and spirit, which is halved. Among these thousand people, the skin and innocence will be examined by the female officer. Oh, and you have to discern if there is any bad smell. ”

Zhu Houxi was surprised: "How can you tell this?" ”

"I heard that the slave maid asked the show girls to walk a long way."

Zhu Houxi understood, and after sweating, he saw if there was any fox smell.

"After this election, there are only three hundred left." Huang Jin said with a smile, "From now on, I will look at talent and etiquette, and leave fifty statues." The Queen Mother said, Your Majesty has a big idea, and you will be elected at that time. In the past, the queen mothers and concubines elected three people for His Majesty to choose one queen and two concubines, but this year, His Majesty said that he would set up one queen, two concubines and nine concubines to fill the six palaces in the east and west, and then His Majesty would select them from fifty people. ”

There is no doubt that there are only ten places among the twelve, but there are several more than in the past when only three people were named.

As for the show girls who have entered the palace and learned etiquette, the remaining two hundred and fifty people depend on the situation, some will stay in the palace as palace maids, and some will be sent back to their hometowns.

Under normal circumstances, those sent back to their hometowns are also fragrant and sweet.

Zhu Houxi remembered the women that Lin Qingping told him after the Rijingmen incident, so he asked: "The ladies who were pre-selected by the Empress Dowager Cishou for me before have also entered the official roster?" ”

"Since this is the case, only His Majesty's holy judgment is just." Huang Jin said respectfully, "Commander Luo has secretly checked it, and they are all inconspicuous good families in the people. From the end of March to the beginning of May, when Renshou Palace had this meaning, to the beginning of May, in fact, most of them did not have any conspiracy, only five were civil and military officials who had been promoted by the Zhang family, and the official products were all below the sixth grade. However, after Fang Xun pressed the bullet seal, these people have been in a panic for a year. Although His Majesty did not forbid to marry, there were still twenty-nine families that no one dared to propose. ”

"Since it is a house of innocence, it is okay to do things as usual at that time." Zhu Houxi thought for a while and said: "When you get to a batch, you can select a batch first, you don't have to let them wait in the capital all the time." ”

"The slave will arrange for an experienced minister to screen the body type, voice, and gait first tomorrow." Huang Jin hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Then did the physical examination also be arranged first, so that some show girls could be selected into the palace earlier to inquire about their talents and learn etiquette?" ”

"Is it for fear that it will be unfair to those who arrive in Beijing later? Screening out most of them first, you can also save a lot of expenses, and you can wait for the physical examination to arrive. ”

Huang Jin sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty, you don't have to save money so much, right?" ”

"If you can't pass the first few levels, why keep delaying? Go back early to discuss your family. ”

A tragedy is brewing in Guangdong, and the emperor's side is steadily advancing.

Joy and sorrow will always be intertwined in every corner of Daming.

Zhu Houxi is not pretentious about his harem affairs, as an emperor with great strategies and responsibilities in state affairs, he may only have these adjustments in his future life.

The layout of Guangdong, the expectation of the draft.

It's a big deal.
