(Zhu Ming is the official governor of the court, and the brain was pumped in the previous chapter, and it was written as the official governor of Beijing.) ）

Zhu Ming did not immediately accuse these two people, because the rules that lasted for decades must have been ordered by the imperial court.

"When did you start not picking livestock from wood?" Zhu Ming asked.

Cao Yuangui replied carefully: "During the reign of Shenzong, the imperial court ordered the people to move out of the mountains, leaving only five families to worship Yaoling for generations. The five households also strictly set aside cultivated land and firewood forests, and were not allowed to cultivate and cut firewood beyond the range. Farming, woodmining and animal husbandry are strictly forbidden for the surrounding people. ”

Zhu Ming asked again: "How to sacrifice?" ”

Cao Yuangui said: "The magistrate of this county worships once in spring and autumn. If there is a governor in office, he will personally come to worship in the first year of his duties. The court sacrifices are irregular and regular, and the official family sends clans or civil servants to come to worship. ”

"In the past few decades, how many times has the imperial court sent people to worship?" Zhu Ming asked.

Cao Yuangui said: "Twice." Once in the Shenzong Dynasty, once three years ago. ”

Zhu Ming asked, "What virtue does Yao have?" ”

Cao Yuangui thought that this was Zhizhou's teaching question, and hurriedly said: "Yao Zhide, select meritocracy, benevolence, set the calendar, Ming Wudian, control floods, serve Nanban, Zen Yu Shun." ”

Zhu Ming asked again: "What is benevolence?" ”

Cao Yuangui said: "The benevolent love others. ”

Zhu Ming asked again: "What is benevolent government?" ”

Cao Yuangui said: "Provincial punishment, thin taxes, deep cultivation and easy to cultivate, the strong to spend their days, cultivate their filial piety and loyalty, enter their fathers and brothers, and go out to their long-term affairs." ”

Zhu Ming looked at Wang Ji again: "What does the county order think?" ”

Wang Jin has never dared to steal the limelight of Zhixian County, and now he was named and questioned, and immediately added: "You have a way to get your heart, you want to gather with it, and you don't want to do anything evil." ”

Zhu Ming asked, "What do the people want?" And what is the evildoer? ”

Cao Yuangui already felt that something was wrong, and after weighing it repeatedly, he replied seriously: "Those who want the people will have enough food and clothing; Whoever is evil to the people will be punished with miscellaneous labor. ”

Zhu Ming asked: "If you don't let the people farm, don't let the people pick, what do you get by being warm?" ”

"This ......," Cao Yuangui said, "the tomb of the ancient holy king should not be offended in love or courtesy." What's more, there is an order from the imperial court, and the courtiers dare not disobey it. ”

Wang Jin buried his head and didn't speak, Zhizhou's questioning, he was carried by the county, and it was inconvenient for him to come out with a county order.

Zhu Ming said: "The huge valley and forest mountain, with a radius of 20 miles, the people all rely on its trees for food. How can it be forbidden? Presumably, there are many poachers. ”

"That's true," Cao Yuangui said, "and there are many poachers among the people under the mountain. ”

It is very forbidden to ban paper-making workshops, but how can people be forbidden to chop wood?

In the past, the officials all turned a blind eye, otherwise they would have sent people to guard all day long?

But just three years ago, the Song Hui sect sent people to worship Yaoling, and Qincha found that there were traces of logging in the mountain. As a result, the officials of Leize County were hung up, and the magistrate was directly demoted to Guangnan, and the successor officials did not dare to slack off.

Cao Yuangui and Wang Jin, every three or five days, would send a team of archers to inspect.

They don't have any bad intentions, they just want to get things done.

But the archers took the opportunity to prey on the people, and if they caught it, they hit the board, and if they didn't want to hit the board, they had to pay bribes. Sometimes you can't even catch anyone, so you casually point to the farmer's house and say, your firewood must have been cut down from Gulin Mountain, and if you don't pay the grain to pay the fine, you will be beaten hard.

The top casually issues a decree, and the following will seize the opportunity to reap the benefits of the people.

The protection of Yaoling is no longer a matter of banning farming, mining, and grazing, but of grassroots law enforcers blackmailing the people under the guise of blackmail.

Zhu Ming said: "Emperor Yao, three generations of holy kings, and the most benevolent king. If he knew that his mausoleum had harmed the people, he would have been very unhappy. How can we go against Di Yao's wishes? Yaoling no longer knows the exact location, so he only needs to draw out a sacrificial forbidden area. Outside the forbidden area, the people should be allowed to harvest and cultivate. In this way, the two take into account, one is respectable to Di Yao, and the other is lovely to the people. ”

But the order of the imperial court ...... "Cao Yuangui was very difficult."

Zhu Ming said: "But let the archers stop harassing the people, and do not admit or prohibit the theft of mining." I will go to the court and redraw a forbidden area, and no longer interfere with the people outside the forbidden area. Something happened, I'll take it! ”

Cao Yuangui looked at Wang Jin, and Wang Jin looked at Zhu Ming again.

These two magistrates did not dare to disobey Zhu Ming's orders, but they were afraid that the court would blame them.

Zhu Ming took care of the accident, and this kind of verbal promise was too nonsense.

"Bring the pen!" Zhu Ming shouted.

Wang Jin immediately got up and came back with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Zhu Ming sprinkled ink, wrote it in black and white, and ordered Leize County not to interfere with the people's woodwork.

"Rest assured?" Zhu Ming pushed the paper over.

This is also too wild, blatantly disobeying the emperor's order, it is easy to be caught by political opponents, and the two county officials are a little dumbfounded.

In the previous words, Cao Yuan returned and thought that he was selling his reputation and reputation, but at this moment, Zhu Ming wrote it in black and white, and he realized that Zhu Ming was really thinking about the people.

Cao Yuan's career has been bumpy, the edges and corners have long been smoothed, and he has no political ambitions, and he is purely making money.

But Zhu Ming's words and deeds pierced his heart, and he couldn't help but get up and say: "The virtue of being too conservative is embarrassing, and the lower officials will definitely do it." ”

Wang Jin also hurriedly patted his ass: "Taishou is dedicated to the people, and the people of Puzhou are also blue!" ”

Those who are selfless and fearless will be able to win respect.

The premise is that Zhu Ming's order will not infringe on the interests of the two county officials.

Prohibiting the people from logging and farming will not do them any good, and they have to waste manpower to implement it, Cao Yuangui and Wang Ji have long wanted to take care of it, and Zhu Ming just got their wish today.

The valley tree is the Gou tree, and the valley forest and mountains are full of Gou trees.

This tree is difficult to use as a building material, nothing more than to make paper and firewood. And the growth is extremely fast, as long as the papermaking is banned, the people have no impact on the burning of firewood, and it will not cause damage to the mountains and forests at all.

Zhu Ming said: "Tomorrow, the two of you will follow me into the mountain and redefine a forbidden area, and the people will log by default outside the forbidden area." You go and make arrangements, I'll go back to the hotel to rest first. ”

The two hurriedly got up and accompanied Zhu Ming to the hotel.

After coming back, Cao Yuangui called the priest: "Immediately find all the newspapers within three years!" ”

After a while, Oshishi brought a stack of newspapers.

Cao Yuangui and Wang Jin, with a group of scribes, seriously checked the Di newspaper, wanting to find out information about Zhu Ming.

Only a few minutes later, a scribe shouted: "Zhu Ming, the third person in the fifth year of the Zhenghe palace test, give the Jinshi and the first!" ”

Cao Yuangui said: "Let's read last year's Di newspaper again. ”

Soon, another scribe shouted: "Zhu Ming, the third person of Jinshi, give Wen Linlang and Taixuezheng!" ”

Wang Zhen said: "If you can teach Taixue for the first time, there must be someone in the court." ”

Immediately, someone shouted: "Taixue is Zhu Ming, his advice is meritorious, he is specially transferred to an official, and he is promoted to a contractor." ”

Cao Yuangui compared the dates of the two Di newspapers, and said in horror: "In two months, you will be promoted from the selection of people to Beijing officials? ”

Wang Jin shouted: "Look at this year's Di newspaper, the last two or three months." ”

When a scribe saw the latest appointment, he said dryly, "Well promoted...... So fast! Taixue is also in charge of Zhu Ming, who is in charge of the Guozi Library, and has made Dasheng movable type and Dasheng ink, and has been specially transferred to two officials, promoted to Zhilang, and sent the right to know Puzhou. ”

Cao Yuangui and Wang Jin immediately looked at each other.

Wang Jin smiled bitterly and sighed: "It took me eight years to go from the seventh order of selecting people to the fifth level of selecting people. As our governor, it took only two months to select people to be promoted to Beijing officials, and it took only one year for Beijing officials to be promoted to court officials. ”

Cao Yuan returned to the screen and retired from the officials, leaving only the two of them alone, pondering: "Looking at his style, it doesn't seem to be a traitor to the party, how did he get promoted?" ”

"Who knows?" Wang Jin couldn't figure it out when he broke his head.

Neither of them has any background, and they can't find a chance to cling to the traitorous party. Although they usually have all kinds of corruption, they are conceited and clear, and even attribute the unfavorable promotion to the traitorous party's chaotic government, and they also resent the traitorous party.

Even if Zhu Ming passed the Tanhua examination, if he wants to be promoted to a court official, it will take ten or eight years under normal circumstances, and even if someone in the court will carry him, it will take five or six years.

What the hell is it to be promoted to a court official in one year?

This is not the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were not many Jinshi at that time, and Li Di, the first wang clan in Puzhou, changed from the champion to the prime minister in only 12 years.

Now, wolves have more meat and less meat, and normal promotion is too slow.

Cao Yuangui's appointment as the magistrate of Lei Ze is just a transition, and there is not much contradiction with the county magistrate Wang Jin, he said: "This magistrate dares to ask for the people's life in black and white, and he is so young, he has some ambitions. In the future, you have to be more careful, you can make less money, and the important thing is to follow his wishes. ”

"He wants to be benevolent and love the people, and we will also be benevolent and love the people," Wang Jin said, "This person is young, he is the official of the court, and if there is no mistake in the future, he will be a minister of the Zaifu and the important minister!" ”

The two county officials glanced at each other, and they both felt that their opportunity had come.

They have a serious Jinshi background, and they have already had enough qualifications, and they are only one Shangguan cultivation and promotion.

Not to mention anything else, if their Jilu official wants to be promoted, he must pass Zhu Ming's review. Zhizhou can card them for at least three years with just such a card!

And if they want to be promoted, Zhu Ming also has the right to recommend them, and the speed is definitely faster than normal grinding.

The entire Jingdong Road is being sucked by Kaifeng Mansion.

Leize County, which is a big fart, also has both the county magistrate and the county order, and the money from embezzlement must be shared. No matter how much money can you get for the?

It's better to be less greedy, cling to the promising Zhizhou, and take this opportunity to complete the leap in the career.

If Zhizhou becomes Zaifu in the future, they will belong to the early subordinates and belong to the hardcore henchmen. Riding the east wind and swaying upward, maybe you can still be a court official in this life!

Even if you want to be greedy, you can wait until you are transferred to a good place.

Cao Yuangui said: "For today's plan, I want you and me to join forces to restrain those officials and try to please them too much!" ”

Wang Ji said: "The main book is also going to be pulled over, he is also a non-commissioned officer, and he wants to be promoted like us." ”

Fortunately, although the population increased in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the official arrangements did not change, otherwise with the number of household registrations in Lize County, a county governor and a county lieutenant would have to be appointed.

That's called redundant officials, the county, the county order, the county officer, the chief bookkeeper, the county lieutenant, the five officials serve the people at the same time, and the people of the county are still grateful?

By the way, don't look at the mediocrity of Song Huizong, during his reign, the population of the two Song Dynasty reached its peak.

In particular, Fang Tian's order at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, as well as the refinement of the armor protection in the middle of his reign, found a large number of hidden accounts, and even brought financial income to the peak.

Feng Heng Yu Da is not simply bragging!

That night, the two county magistrates also called the chief secretary to a meeting and determined the principles and policies of "benevolent government and love for the people".

At the same time, they sent their henchmen to Tokyo to inquire about the news, wanting to completely find out Zhu Ming's route.

This can be left as a hindsight, such as investigating that Zhu Ming offended Cai Jing, in case Zhu Ming loses power one day, he can also fall into the well and join Cai Xianggong, and take out Zhu Ming's black materials to cling to the traitorous party. Such a betrayal of the benefactor is easy to be despised unless there is an irresistible temptation.

The next day, the magistrate, the county order, and the main book, with a group of officials, surrounded Zhu Ming to worship Yaoling.

By the way, the forbidden area was re-demarcated to leave enough space for the people to pick.

(Thanks to the league leader of the students who crossed the ocean for rewarding, and by the way, I had the courage to ask for a monthly pass.) ）
