Chapter 180, killing pigs for the New Year

Wei Bin smiled politely, and he was also smiling in his heart.

His Majesty asked him to find these people from Jiaozhi who had some ability but no ambition, hired them to bring people to Daming to work at a price of conscience, and then let them go back, and originally wondered if these methods would work.

But after arranging for someone to lead them to visit the scenery of Guangzhou City, these people did have a strange look in their eyes.

These Jiaozhi people are only allowed to work in Daming for two years at a time, and they earn far more than they do in Jiaozhi.

From these chieftains to ordinary people.

Wei Bin didn't know what the Foreign Inspection Factory did in Nanyang, but these people were all matched by the Foreign Inspection Factory.

There is intelligence and instigation, there are these internal ghosts that have been bound to the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and there are ......

After receiving them, he went to the inner room, where the son of the Marquis of Funing was waiting for him.

"The troubles of the miners in Guangxi have subsided?"

"Yes, Grandpa Wei."

Wei Bin looked at him with a smile: "Funing Hou Zhongjun will be rewarded for his use." The matter of dealing with the servants of Jiaozhi in this labor service is handed over to you by our family. Don't blame our family for not reminding you, don't detain them, and keep an eye on their stewards and don't treat the servants lightly. Let them know that they can make money by contributing under the Meiji rule, not by being slaves. Do you understand? ”

"I understand that I will not disappoint my father and father-in-law."

Wei Bin nodded.

In the past, why didn't it work, Wei Bin couldn't say one, two, three, four.

But this time he knew, His Majesty had patience with Cochin.

Huang Mingji wants to earn not money, but the country.

When Wang Shi arrives again, how many people will look forward to Da Ming will depend on whether he Wei Bin will do well next.

In his twilight years, Wei Bin felt that this life seemed to be worthy of meritorious service from this time.

He still has such a chance to go down in history!

But now, things in Guangdong have just begun.

In the face of great changes, too many people in Guangdong are at a loss.

In the front yard of the Liang family, dozens of people gathered there and pleaded with Liang Chu's eldest son.

"I'm here to visit Liang Gong, and I hope I'll wait to show my heart."

"Yes, Liang Gongde is highly respected......"

The eldest son of Prince Liang looked at them helplessly and said, "My father's illness should be recuperated, and my father already knows your intentions." A banquet has been set up in the side hall of the Humble House, so let's go and have some tea first......"

In the flower hall in the backyard of the Liang family, how can Liang Chu be a little sick? On the contrary, his face is becoming more and more ruddy now, and his life is chic and comfortable.

At this moment, so many people in the front yard can't see Liang Chu, and the people who can let him see it in person are not ordinary people.

It was Huang Zuo who came.

"Teacher, this time the student has been reappointed as the head of the Guangdong Domain, I am really afraid, and I ask the teacher for guidance."

Originally, it was from the right senator of the four products, but this time in Guangdong's institutional reform, the political envoy itself will be greatly expanded.

In addition to the two political envoys on the left and right, the two on the left and right participating in politics, and the number of people on the left and right participating in the council, there were only 20 officials in total.

Now, it will officially set up five halls of officials, households, rites, workers, and soldiers, each of which is the fourth grade, and there will be five to nine subordinate officials under it, and the five bureaus of each government and the five bureaus of each county are docked.

What Huang Zuo has to face is the thousands of middle- and low-grade official positions that are about to swell out in Guangdong.

And His Majesty's will, the magistrates below the sixth grade, the Guangdong Officials Department can be selected by themselves, but the selection results, official files, and the examination process must be submitted to the Ministry of Officials for the record, and a process will be sent to the Officials.

Huang Zuocheng was terrified.

Liang Chu looked at this junior whom he admired very much, and sighed with a smile: "You tried to talk about the rule of officials, and you also said about the rule of officials, and now let you be in charge of the governance of Guangdong officials." What, cringe? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ On the cusp of the storm. Huang Zuo smiled bitterly, "After all, the student has only been an official for more than a year. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes, it's only been a little more than a year, and it's four products. Liang Chu said meaningfully, "What a fertile soil for Guangdong officialdom, aren't you and Zhang Futai proof of this?" ”

Huang Zuo came to Guangdong because Zhang Fujing killed more than half of the high-level people in Guangdong, and the imperial court needed people who were familiar with the nostalgia of Guangdong, and the emperor at that time wanted to promote newcomers, and other officials also had a little respect for Guangdong.

In the past, the right senator was only guarding Lingnan Road, doing some work of uploading and distributing to the yamen of the feudal department and the local government.

But what kind of prominent and substantive position is the head of this office now?

"You, you always feel that you have less experience, more than cautious, and not enterprising, so you should learn from Zhang Futai." Liang Chu looked out lightly, "There are so many people in the front yard, they all want to come and ask me to come out and plead with Zhang Futai." In the past, it was the emperor who was far away, but now, the sky has changed, and the sky has changed. If you don't dare to rebel, what can you do? Zhang Futai is powerful with blood, and now is the time for you to come forward to appease. ”

After retracting his gaze, he looked at Huang Zuo: "From now on, your burden is heavier than Zhang Futai!" For many years, the gentry had nothing to fear, but in the final analysis, it was only because they could not do without them if they wanted to govern Guangdong well. It is impossible to kill Zhang Futai, and most of the new official positions in Guangdong must be selected from the Guangdong gentry. How to make them use things when they are selected depends on how you do it. Although all the prefectures below the eight grades can be selected, they must be approved by you. ”

"That's why I came to ask my teacher." Huang Zuo said sincerely, "The students have received too many greetings in the past few days......"

"Well, I only have one thing to say to you."

"Teacher, please speak!"

Liang Chu smiled deeply: "If Futai still wants to come up with a knife next time, I'm afraid I can only ask you for some black sheep." ”

Huang Zuo was stunned.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the provinces, governments, and counties are all set up, what do you think they do?" Liang Chu said to him with a smile, "You just have to be kind, declare your duties, and supervise your work." If someone can't turn the corner and break the law, then there will be a batch of rookies after the opening of the college test Enke next year, can't they make up for it? The promotion of hard work is extremely fast, and the students who have never had anything to do with interests have to enter the officialdom, and the water in Guangdong is alive, and your authority will be implemented. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The students understood, and thanked the teacher for his guidance. Huang Zuo stood up and saluted, "Then ...... The students went to preach to the guests of the teacher about the new system of Guangdong officials? ”

Liang Chu nodded with a smile: "Go ahead." ”

Cutting through the mess with a quick knife also requires someone to be able to sort it out.

This is a delicate job, but it is suitable for Huang Zuo.

Liang Chu stood up with a chair and walked leisurely under the eaves to look at the scenery in the backyard.

Thousands of new official positions have been established in Guangdong, and officials and even some backbone officials have been officials since then.

With such great courage, Yang Tinghe didn't have it, Wang Qiong didn't have it, and no one in the court had it.

Your Majesty, can you really play this game?

To be honest, Liang Chu also had some doubts.

Hence the loss of being able to run fast, but feeling more and more lonely.

The most regrettable thing is that I can't see what Yang Tinghe, who is now the leader of the New Law Party, looks like.

"Give the old man the teacher's "University Yanyi Supplement" to the old man."

He sat on a soft stool in the pavilion next to the courtyard and pondered quietly: Why did Chen Jin and Zhang Fujing ask him for his experience with this book?

……

The important ministers of the imperial court got the "vertical arch rule" they wanted, and His Majesty really only cared about the new law of Guangdong, the Beijing camp and the major affairs of the country.

But the counselors were too busy to go bald.

Not to mention the normal affairs of the two capitals and 12 provinces outside Guangdong, Guangdong's new law is obviously too excessive.

The "new party" still has to bear the impeachment of the old party of the Ming Dynasty for the new law.

The emperor's handling of these matters was to give a brief remark to the bullet stamps submitted by several "old parties" in Beijing, and then send them to the local government to take up their posts.

The comment is: Jiajing has not arrived for five years, wait and see its effect.

This is very intriguing, and the result is that it seems to give the New Party enough time and credibility, but it also draws a clear timeline.

What's even funnier is that those people were all sent to Sichuan.

Fei Hong, the leader of the old party, is also over there, does this mean that the new party and the old party each choose a province and prove themselves?

There are only a few things in the daily life of the emperor who "rules by hanging the arch": talking about the new law at the national policy meeting, talking about the three principles of heaven and man, working on the country's major affairs in the harem, and then going to the Wanfa Museum, the War Bureau, and the Ordnance Supervisor, and finally often participating in the Beijing National Policy Implementation Conference co-organized by Cui Yuan and co-organized by Yao Yi.

Saying that he only cares about these three things, he is true to his word, and Yang Tinghe often reflects in the middle of the night: Is this the life I want?

Fortunately, the "New Party" has a very hard banner: Yu Qian is worthy of enjoying the Taimiao.

But unfortunately, there is a very controversial thing connected with it: Emperor Jing's entry into the temple.

At the end of the year, new imperial examinees from remote provinces who arrived in Beijing quickly joined the hot topic.

Xu Jie also arrived in the capital, and he did not have a great reputation, although he ranked seventh in high school in this township examination.

Since he arrived in the capital, he voted for his mentor's mentor.

Because they entered the center of the imperial court in a more special way in advance, Yan Song and Xu Jie had such a "fate" at this moment.

"Wen Wei mentioned you to me." Yan Song looked at the poems presented by Xu Jie, smiled and nodded, "Sure enough, the knowledge is excellent, and the material of the national weapon." ”

Xu Jie replied modestly: "I have praised the counselor, Master Nie probably saw that the students were depressed at that time, and the words of encouragement. ”

Of course, Yan Song was just polite, and after putting down the poems, he said to him: "Songjiang was seriously affected by the disaster before, how is Zisheng's family?" ”

Xie Shence was concerned, and the students were also worried at that time. Fortunately, I received a letter from home before the first test of the township, but I only damaged some of the farmland. The student was lucky to rank seventh this time, but most of the reason was that many of his fellow students were restless. ”

Zisheng was humble. Experiencing great disasters and no disasters is also the way of fortune. Yan Song saw that he was calm and modest, and his manners were decent, and he had a good impression in his heart, and suddenly asked, "Zisheng is a talent, he is twenty years old, I don't know if he has ever been married?" ”

Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, and then replied truthfully: "A family affair has been decided, and the student is thinking that he will be able to welcome his family again in high school next year." ”

"That's right." Yan Song nodded slightly, "Then prepare for the exam with peace of mind." You're a Wenwei student, but I don't have much to say to mention you. The Ministry of Rites will try this level, but after all, it still has to rely on itself. Ascend to the top of the child, and don't worry about the rest. Thinking about it, there are many discussions among the people, and now the court is to focus on practice. ”

"Yes, there is." Xu Jielai came, but he didn't twist, "Students do have deficiencies in practice, and I want to be cheeky and ask for advice, which books can students study." ”

Yan Song pursed his lips and smiled, and said after a while: "If you talk about practice, when I lived in the countryside in the past, after I was still in the court, I did read a few good books, and my insights were quite unique, especially Qiu Zhongshengong's "University Yanyi Supplement", which sprinkled hundreds of thousands of words and encompassed the wealth. It's only been more than three months since the exam, and Zisheng can study this technique. ”

Xu Jie immediately stood up and saluted dignifiedly: "Students must be attentive, Xie Shence will guide you." ”

After a while of chatting, Yan Song picked up the tea, and Xu Jie said goodbye with interest.

Looking at his back, Yan Song continued to think about it.

Once a high school jinshi, it is quite popular to catch a son-in-law under the list.

There are really not many young people like this, and it is rare to be dignified, calm and polite, but unfortunately they have already discussed marriage.

I can only pay attention to it a little more.

In the capital, Cui Yuan asked his younger brother to study the "University Yanyi Supplement" well, and Yang Tinghe also made the same request to Yang Dan.

Zhang Zilin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was busy with Yu Qian's participation in the Taimiao Temple and Emperor Jing's entry into the temple, and the meeting was already a familiar matter, so the arrangement naturally would not start so early.

Zhu Houxi heard Zhang Zuo's report and confirmed with a smile: "The booksellers in the city are printing the "University Yanyi Supplement" on a large scale? ”

"Exactly." Zhang Zuo only reported and didn't say anything else, although he was a little worried in his heart.

Many of the things in that book say about why kings are established.

"Let them go." Zhu Houxi was unimpressed.

Relatives, friends, nephews, and protΓ©gΓ©s are old, and it is normal for the counselor to mention some people before trying such a big event next year.

This can't be avoided.

As for the severity, it depends on whether the Ministry of Rites will try to know the severity of the questions.

Zhu Houxi instead ordered: "You go and arrange someone to ask Huangzhuang how the few crops brought back by Gao Zhong are being planted." Manhokan's agricultural offerings are as good as they can be. ”

"Slave and maid command."

Zhang Zuo went, and Zhu Houxi quietly looked at the secret report sent back by Wei Bin.

The annual office that the palace will ask for from Guangdong next year includes a large amount of "Nanyang fragrant rice" in the palace, and after the procurement is in charge of the emperor's Ming Ji, it will begin to purchase a large amount from Jiaozhi and Champong.

What we want is to form a large scale within three to five years, so that a large amount of rice can be sold to Daming. Driven by high profits, even if Cochin and Zhancheng suffer any disasters, I am afraid that there will be no shortage of hoarding exports.

Then there are these interest groups established because of the export of goods and manpower to the Ming Dynasty, and if this strategy is to be promoted, Huang Mingji will need a lot of expenditure for the time being and it will be difficult to make a profit.

It's coming to the end of the year, what will be the attitude of the relatives when they hear this year's accounts?

Although it has only been in business for a few months, it can't be ignored by them.

"Huang Jin, you go and tell Luo An to use the tail that Fang Muxian interrogated at that time." Zhu Houxi said indifferently.

Huang Jin's heart sank, and he took the order.

Zhu Houxi has already given Zhu Houzhao a son, and he will naturally protect this Rui Wang.

Although everyone knows that this Rui Wang may be the best banner in the future, it depends on whether anyone really dares to use it.

At present, the old party is in the stage of reconfiguration, and Yang Tinghe is still not determined enough.

In the future, there will be a shortage of money for two or three years before this new law is enacted.

It's almost the New Year, so let Yang Ting and them kill the pigs again.

After he finished dealing with these things, he went to Chang'an Palace, Lin Qingping was already pregnant, and Zhu Houxi saw her lying on the couch and took it: "It's all stable, you have to move around often." Get up, and I'll walk you around the Imperial Garden. ”

Outside the palace, after Luo An received the will, he called Wang Zuo.

"You found out in Nanzhen Fusi last year, Si Cong has been doing things for Jianchang Hou, right?"

Wang Zuo nodded: "I'm helping him put the money in the seal." Last year, the Zhang brothers were much less timid, and Si Cong also relented. ”

Luo An stared at him: "Si Cong was the one who received your favor back then, and this time there is something for you to do." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Commanded by humility. ”

"Before Zhang Rui and the others were arrested last year, the Marquis of Jianchang took a lot of Zhang Ruitian's mansion that should have been confiscated, and this incident did not happen. In addition, do you remember the Cao Zu case in Zhengde's ten years? ”

Wang Zuo's heart sank: "Remember the humble duty." ”

"When the trial party Mu Xian was in court, the evidence was examined." Luo An's eyes narrowed, "If Si Cong is a smart person, he will make meritorious contributions this time, and Guangdong still needs a smart person." ”

"Humble duty understood." Wang Zuo clenched his fists and took the order, "Let's arrange it." ”

Luo An knew that he knew very well what to do, but he still reminded: "From small to large, starting from the criminal department, it will be judged by His Majesty." ”

"Humble remembers ...... Last year, there was a case in Wanping County, where Sun Ming, a common man in Wanping, sued Jianchang Hou for forcibly seizing the land, and Wanping County did not dare to accept it. ”

"Okay."

A day later, outside the county office of Wanping County, a beggar-like figure came, holding aloft a piece of bloody paper.

After hearing what happened, the clerk of the county government torture room couldn't help but hurry to find the county order.

"County Zun, no, the person who sued Jianchanghou is here again!"

Wanping Zhixian's face changed.
