The case of fraud in the imperial examination was dealt with in full accordance with the law, which made Emperor Cheng'an breathe a bad breath and feel happy in his heart.

For this reason, he specially summoned his good nephew Qin Zhanying to stay in the capital to do hard labor.

Because Emperor Cheng'an felt that he was a man, in order to avoid suspicion, he did not summon Liu Ziyan as a woman, but found Qiu Yu to come over.

Qiu Yu listened to Emperor Cheng'an speak for a while, and probably understood what the other party meant.

Emperor Cheng'an: My nephew did a good job, and you also did a good job, because of your efforts and help, my control over the court has become stronger, and my nephew is not in the capital, so it is better for me to reward the two of you first.

Qiu Yu replied honestly and modestly: "Back to Your Majesty, it is normal for your control to become stronger, so there is no need to reward us, this is the result of your own efforts." ”

Emperor Cheng'an: "What? ”

Qin Shuyan found that this guy who had transferred from the household department of Zeguo to Yu Country spoke in a different tone from other people in the court.

Qiu Yu: "From the perspective of the officials who are responsible for running the various institutions of the court, when the head of the officials and the emperor fight for power, the officials are generally not responsible for standing in line, because as a brick of the country, they only need to be responsible for working for the person who wins, which is the normal state of most people, after all, the person who can win must have the power to make the loser recover." ”

This power naturally comes from Qin Zhanying's own Lu family garrison on the land of the Yu Dynasty and the dragon guard camp and dragon protection camp on the edge of the capital, in the tradition of the official standard of Chinese civilization, smart people are all rushing over to be officials, so the officialdom is all fine, seeing that Emperor Cheng'an's gun is thick again, the wall-riding faction in the court immediately recognized the reality and began to turn the head of the car, which is also the reason why Emperor Cheng'an feels that life is better recently.

Faced with Emperor Cheng'an's seemingly silent but shocked expression, Qiu Yu, who had been fighting devils, spy warfare, and "Adapted by the Minister Yu Dynasty" to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a bedtime story since ten years ago, retired and went to work.

As for whether he said these words at Yingying's behest, this is a secret.

When Liu Ziyan saw Qiu Yu, she asked, "Do you think that if I have been working here for ten years, can I get the opportunity to face the saint before His Highness ascends the throne?" ”

The implication is that when can a female officer stand up and be a person in Nanyu? Does it have to be delayed until Qin Zhanying ascends the throne?

There was a resentment in this girl's words, it is estimated that she has been the eldest sister in Huxiang Road for a long time, and she was tortured by Nanyu's household department.

Qiu Yu: "It's going to be done soon, do you believe that you didn't meet with me today, your highness will know about it in a few days and include it in his book?" ”

Liu Ziyan lettered, she sighed: "I hope it can be faster, I work so hard, if I don't even give me the opportunity to report the accounts of the household department face-to-face, I will write to His Royal Highness to go to the place, I think your main road is very good." ”

This clear-headed girl knows very well that she can't go back to Huxiang Dao, otherwise she has a good relationship with Lan Aluo, the leader of the Miao armed forces, and there are thousands of migrant workers dedicated to mining over there.

In fact, this can be regarded as being responsible for Liu Ziyan's future, at present, Qin Zhanying has limited talents at hand, Qin Zhanying is more than these people and hopes that they can walk on the right path and be promoted and do things well, if there is any sign of something wrong, he will kill it lightly first.

It's just that Liu Ziyan once had the dream of throwing the mess of the household department to Qiu Yu and running away to the place by herself, but she didn't expect that Qiu Yu came over, but she couldn't run away, and the next day, Emperor Cheng'an promoted Qiu Yu to the cabinet and walked and jumped out of the big pit of the household department, and she had to continue to squat here.

Liu Ziyan took a bowl of seaweed jade pot soup opened by Qiu Yu and drank it all, and exhaled: "I'm only seventeen years old, and I can't leave my mouth, what can I do?" ”

The guard Cai Ye squatted beside him and said solemnly: "I'll teach you to stand on the pile, you can't always stand still." ”

Ziyan Liu: I'm already very tired from work, and I don't want to continue exercising after work.

The people of Guigandao have a strong style, and it is not easy to pick up, and Qin Zhanying does not come hard, but plows the people who take the lead in not paying taxes and oppresses the people under their heads into the tomb, and cleans up the guys who are in collusion with the local wealthy clans here, and promotes those who can be used, and writes to Emperor Cheng'an, asking him to transfer the little one from the Hanlin Academy.

He saw that people were accurate, and when he was doing an inspection in the Hanlin Academy, he caught a few barely usable ones, and put them in the place to sharpen them, if they were real gold, they would naturally be able to make real achievements, and when the time came, he would promote these guys who had accumulated practical experience.

The natural environment of Bashu is actually not bad, in addition to the frequent dragon turnover, as long as the water conservancy is done well, the people cultivate well, at least in the good year is not worried about food.

Qin Zhanying had inspected this place earlier, and had a good idea of the geographical environment here, so she invited Qin Zhansheng, the prince of the Bashu County Palace.

Qin Zhansheng heard that the prince had an order, and hurriedly rode a horse to come, at this time Qin Zhanying was leading the soldiers to plow people on this side of Guigan Road, and the place where he lived was a small courtyard where the peasant landlord lived, but Qin Zhansheng did not dare to be careless, and dismounted outside the courtyard, and was introduced into the room by Feng Zheng, the eunuch who was accompanying Qin Zhanying, and saw that the young man was writing, he quickly knelt down on one knee.

"The minister greets His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is blessed with Jin'an!"

Qin Zhanying's action of holding the pen and writing did not stop, and she did not raise her head and said: "Get up, how is the road over there in Bashu repaired?" ”

Qin Zhansheng lowered his head, his speech was clear, and his voice was loud: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, many roads in Bashu were greatly damaged in last year's Dilong turnover, and after the Ze army settled in, they presided over the road repair, and the official roads have been restored, and five thousand soldiers have been absorbed. ”

"This time, the minister asked Lan to lead the borrower, and recruited those mountain people in the poor countryside who could not afford to eat and had no land to come down to work, and now half of the road has been repaired, but many mountain people are willing to live from this mountain, and the household registration of this part of the people has also been counted."

Qin Zhansheng accidentally violated the law of Qiongya Island when he was wandering the rivers and lakes in his early years, and was escorted to build roads, and was tempered with some practical experience.

"It's better to do things well than those who feel that no fault is a credit." Qin Zhanying said lightly, "Since you participated in the absorption of mountain people into the household registration of the Yu Dynasty with Lanshan, you should have an understanding of the population over there, how much was it before, and how much is it now?" ”

This is about to take the school exam, Qin Zhansheng quickly replied: "The original household registration record of Bashu has a population of 1.4 million people, plus the hidden households of the big clan, as well as the mountain people, the actual population is 1.82 million. ”

Qin Zhanying said casually: "Yu also counted the population once when he opened the country, at that time, the world was decided, many people died in the war, and the population of Bashu was only 1.4 million, I thought that Bashu had a very bad life for so many years, and there would be no change, it seems that after a few decades of peace, everyone is still willing to have children." ”

There is too much blood hidden behind these words, whether it is Qin Zhanying driving the Ze army to promote policies such as land tax and forced labor into land from the beginning of the garrison in Bashu, or pulling the hidden hermits of all ethnic groups into the sky, all need knives to rely on.

Qin Zhanying is ruthless, so ruthless that when he hasn't changed his surname to Qin, Qin Zhansheng didn't dare to offend him in the slightest, and now that Qin Zhanying has become the prince, Qin Zhansheng's knees are bent extremely naturally.

Qin Zhansheng knelt down again: "It is the incompetence of the ministers and others that makes the Bashu hidden households too many, and the taxation is not favorable, leaving so many redundant problems." ”

"Get up, you and Gu are of the same generation, young people in their twenties, what do some of the problems left over the years have to do with you?" Qin Zhanying didn't call someone over just to find trouble with this cheap cousin, if this guy really made him unhappy, Lan Shan would have bitten him to death.

The little prince said: "Now that we know the population, let's calculate how many fields Bashu needs to have to ensure that no one will go hungry next year." ”

Qin Zhan said in his heart, how do I know this!

Feng Zheng looked at him stunned, thinking that this prince is not as sensitive as Cheng Kailu and Guo Yi, knowing the population of Bashu, and then calculating a person's ration for a year, you can know how much grain the entire Bashu will need next year, and then think about how much land Bashu has to plant to have so much food, isn't this completely clear!

What a simple arithmetic problem, the little girl who just graduated from the literacy class in the township can be counted!

Qin Zhanying was also speechless at this cousin's sluggishness, he pointed at Feng Zheng, Feng Zheng came over helplessly, and whispered to Qin Zhansheng, Qin Zhansheng squatted down silently, and took a branch to make a vertical position on the dirt ground.

The lad is not good at math.

Qin Zhanying is born with a good talent in mathematics and physics, which is not surprising, the Lu family started from maritime trade and naval warfare, and must rely on the stars when sailing at night, and even when perceiving the weather, it is necessary to combine the local terrain with intuition in the dark, and even calculate with intuition to determine when the wind and rain will come, and there is no mathematical difference in such a family.

Even Lu Xiaoxuan and Qiu Yu secretly complained, "After changing the current shell, I think it's easier for me to do math problems."

So Qin Zhanying looked at Qin Zhansheng with a subtle look.

After Qin Zhansheng finished the first calculation, he felt that it was not safe, so he calculated it again, and then found that it was bad, why were the numbers drawn on these two sides different? So he did the math a third time, and finally found that it was over, because the third time he came up with a new answer.

Feng Zheng was stupid at this person's level of mathematics.

Qin Zhanying, who was watching Qin Zhansheng scratching his ears and cheeks, faintly spit out the number of the red line of cultivated land, waved his hand, and said seriously: "What do you do in the future, bring an official who can do arithmetic with you to assist, find more people to confirm, don't take the wrong number and make a mistake." ”

He endured it, but he still couldn't help but admonish: "If you want to study more, even if you pass the literacy class on Qiongya Island, you can't let go of studying, look at you, what is the difference between poor learning and mentally handicapped!" ”

Qin Zhan was ashamed.

But Qin Zhanying still handed over the red line of supervising Bashu cultivated land to Qin Zhansheng, just supervising, not leading the work, and it didn't hurt anything, and the matter of sending people to reclaim the land and plant cash crops was arranged separately.

Mrs. Hua and Zhang Hua counted the medicinal materials suitable for planting in various parts of Nanyu, and after Qiu Yu's review, they were finally sent to Qin Zhanying, and Qin Zhanying found that the varieties of vegetables and fruits suitable for this place were found after his own inspection.

Bashu can grow good medicinal materials

The production of proprietary medicines, its convenient carrying and use, fair price and other characteristics, can also make some people who are more well-off but dare not go to the doctor when they are sick have more hope when they are sick.

Then there are chili peppers suitable for this place, if they are made into sauce, they are easy to sell, good sauces can be seasoned, salt can be supplemented, and they are easy to preserve, and chili peppers can also dehumidify, which is a very good thing.

Sending Qin Zhansheng away, Qin Zhanying looked down at the inspection notes in his hand again, and revised a few places.

The total population of Nanyu is a little more than 30 million, and the life of Beimeng is even more miserable, and the population is still a little less, 28 million Dingtian, and Kyushu in China is now less than 60 million, plus Zeguo, 68 million.

Qin Zhanying walked into the house, took a chair and sat on it, he liked to sit on the chair backwards, put his hands on the back of the chair, put his chin on his arms, and look up at the map drawn by his mother himself.

He thought that if he didn't care about fine governance, he just ploughed a place to the point where it could collect taxes, and then changed the tax system and established the right to rule, and Nanyu and Ze could swallow Beimeng and digest it together.

What he has to do now is to officially merge the national strength of these two countries into one place, and the Zeguo army will naturally listen to him, but ...... If you want Nan Yu to be convinced, you can't use his style in Ze.

The damned ones were plowed to death, and the rest of the undamned ones, or the ones that could be used after kicking the road, had to use some other skill.

Qin Zhanying herself is a Chinese person, and she often investigates everywhere, and her shoes are rotten more than 20 pairs, so she naturally knows the temperament of Chinese people - except for some strange things, even if most of them are not good people, but regardless of men and women, old and weak, there is always a little arrogance that eats soft and does not eat hard.

Especially on this side of Guigan Road, the folk customs are very strong, and like Huxiang and western Guangdong, the folk martial arts are extremely popular.

When Qin Zhanying was plowing people here, the battle damage was as high as sixty-seven people! Of course, it is also the cloth people here who are more popular, and the Miao people here see that Qin Zhanying can speak Miao language, and they sell salt and sugar through the Huxiang Miao people trade with this place, so they are actually welcome for him to come over and establish rule.

After all, people are all comparable, Huxiang Miao has a good life, don't you want to be beautiful, and you can make new clothes for your mother-in-law and children every year for the winter? Don't you want to be able to marinate a few more pieces of bacon at home and hang it by the window to show your wealth?

As for the cloth cloth people, their words are a bit similar to Zhuang dialect, it seems to be the same language family, Qin Zhanying is learning cloth cloth dialect and Zhuang dialect together, he has a good language talent, and he can already communicate with the cloth cloth people on a daily basis, and after a while, he has to go over and discuss with the leader over there is how to keep the red line of cultivated land on Guigan Road when he ploughs next spring, and make everyone's life a little richer.

[The cloth cloth people are tied to the land very dead, and there are whistle wood, armor wood, and pavilion wood under their toast, which are managed layer by layer, and the lowest level is the so-called slaves who cultivate the fields, these slaves have the largest number and live the most miserable, in addition to farming, paying food, cloth and other things they can produce, that is, the slaves who give birth to the next generation, and the mortality rate is much higher than that of those in the upper class, and when the court manages the cloth people, the Xuanwei Division is used, resulting in the unclear number of cloth people paying taxes, and the power of the Tusi is too large, and there are rebellions from time to time. 】

[Some predecessors found that this system was unfavorable to the court and the suffering brought by those slaves, but when they tried to dismantle this system, they found that the slaves would rebel with the Tusi, because they thought that they were not with the Han people, they did not trust the Han people, and thought that the Han people would eat their flesh and blood more fiercely than the Tusi, which is indeed a fact in a sense, I want to change their views on this, first of all, we must establish basic trust between the two races, we must call the opera troupe to come over to do propaganda, and the mutual market must also be opened, first use salt and sugar, cheap cloth and Chinese patent medicine to cut a gap. 】

In the future, the territory will expand, and in the face of the many ethnic groups in Kyushu in China with different voices, how to let them live a good life on a land, reproduce smoothly, and pay taxes on time is also a difficult problem.

Since taking over the position of Prince Nanyu, Qin Zhanying can now only sleep for four hours a day, and her working hours have increased from three hours to four hours, and paperwork and meetings take up a lot of time, not including inspections!

He continued to write in his small notebook: [Compared with the Japanese people who are generally afraid of power and morality, the background color of the character of the Chinese side is different, and I call this difference the universal character of different nationalities, which can also be said to be the national style...... It is said that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, but if you want to do a good job for the people, you must complete your official duties at the same time, and when facing the people, you can make yourself have the characteristics of a teacher and a student at the same time. 】

After writing this, Qin Zhanying felt that it was not enough, but she couldn't figure out the taste, so she had to sigh.

He himself is still too young and has too little knowledge, and if he persuaded Qin Zhansheng before, it is no problem to use it from the province, he should read more and study more.

In any case, it is necessary to start the eradication of illiteracy in Guigan Road, and if there is no literacy, there will be no people to work, and those gentry and big families will use this matter to control the imperial court, and when the central and local governments play the game, they will fall into disadvantage.

However, the imperial examination is held every three years, and the appointment of officials is still mainly through the imperial examination.

Qin Zhanying pondered: "We have to change the imperial examination, otherwise we will cure the four major pavilion elders today, and there will be eight major pavilion elders in the future." ”

Zeguo's current official appointment is to popularize education, and then find officials from those who have been literate and have passed the yamen recruitment examination, and the ceiling for officials to rise is very high, as long as their own ability and luck pass the test, there is hope for the top-level leadership team with Lu Xiaoxuan as the core.

But the imperial examination was not abolished, but Zeguo's imperial examination did not regard Confucianism as the first, but added practical aspects, especially personnel management, business, arithmetic, farmland and water conservancy, and added a part of public health and epidemic prevention at Qiu Yu's suggestion.

A healthy country must have multiple channels of upward movement, and prevent the separate channels of upward movement from breeding too large groups, which may fight with each other in normal times, but when their interests are detrimental to them as a whole, they will unite to do great things. - This is what Empress Lu told her son.

[Confucianism has been respected for thousands of years in Kyushu, China, and Confucianism has merits, just as there are good officials among civil officials, silverfish who suck the flesh and blood of the country through Confucianism, and virtuous officials who truly believe in benevolence and dedication to governing the people and the country...... Confucianism has the potential to become Confucianism, and any sect born with the original intention of goodness will eventually bear distorted and deformed fruits, and they cannot be allowed to grow freely, but must be restricted. 】

"We need to send people from the drama side to come over, look for drama troupes here, and make new or adaptations of dramas suitable for promoting the new tax system and farming, and the people here are so strong that they are also suitable for recruiting a group of soldiers, but this matter is not urgent, it is not yet the spring ploughing season, and the autumn harvest has passed, so it is better to start building roads and water conservancy first, and see if the people who come to work have good seedlings to become officials and join the army after literacy."

To this end, he needed to compile the existing literacy textbooks to be more suitable for Nanyu himself.

So Qin Zhanying opened the draft of the new textbook again, picked up the pen and wrote until midnight.

Because of the recent heavy workload, the sleep time has been forced to decrease, Qin Zhanying's wake-up anger is even greater, and the subordinates who come to wake him up every day have to bear huge pressure, and those who have not practiced martial arts and are not thick enough to come dare to come.

Qin Zhanying is a genuine innate master, with eighty years of skill on his body, he can really slap a dead person in anger!

Zhu Dawu put on an iron helmet and stood at the door with a shield: "Master, King Liang and his family are here." ”

The famous beauty prince who married the empress of Zeguo with his face originally took his family to the capital and wanted to see the eldest son, but who knew that the little prince had already taken the sergeant away, and he went south to continue to chase, and now he can be regarded as catching up.

The prince, who was sleeping in a daze, asked, "When?" ”

Zhu Dawu barely heard his words clearly, and replied cautiously: "It's two o'clock." ”

Qin Zhanying usually gets up at three o'clock in the morning, and if there is an emergency, he doesn't have a word when he gets up an hour in advance, but that is when he is still in the middle of sleeping for five hours a day.

As for now......

The man in the bedroom said irritably: "I'm sorry, let them wait!" ”

Now no one can let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince get up early even for a moment!

Zhu Dawu wanted to say something, but a teapot had already flown out inside, and the teapot was not broken when it was smashed on the shield, but it shook Zhu Dawu and took two steps back.

Zhu Dawu, who was born in a military general's family, took a horse step and stabilized, and the strength on the teapot was exhausted, so there was a bang, and the teapot shattered into azure fragments on the ground.

Zhu Dawu looked at the depression on the shield, and withdrew on tiptoe quietly like a chicken, and politely invited King Liang, Princess Cao, and King Liang's second son and son, Qin Zhanqi, and the two county lords to sit down.

Seeing Zhu Dawu coming, King Liang looked at it: "What about the prince?" ”

Zhu Dawu: "Your Royal Highness will not get up until a moment, the prince, the princess, the county lord, and the little prince are tired all the way, why don't you go and rest for a while, change into new clothes, and have some breakfast?" ”

Princess Cao frowned slightly, and said softly: "Hasn't the prince gotten up yet?" ”

Zhu Dawu paused, and thought about it for a while, except for Empress Lu, who didn't want to give face, even Emperor Cheng'an was respected by relying on his excellent character, the temperament of the eldest mother, the second child, and his third child, and when he passed by Bashu, he didn't bother to ask how King Liang was, and he just wanted to fight the landlord and dig the hidden household.

"Your Highness is worried about the people's livelihood, and he has been resting less and less recently." I only slept four hours a day, and even my nap was forced to cancel.

"His Majesty Dajing and His Majesty Lu Song have both sent letters, asking His Highness to rest well, don't be tired." There are only two Majesties who can manage the crown prince, and the others are not as noble as our Royal Highness, and his sleep is much more important than you.

"If His Royal Highness's body is broken, don't say that the two Majesties are distressed, and our subordinates can't afford it, although the prince is reconciled and separated from the empress, he is still the biological father of His Royal Highness, and I hope that the prince will feel more distressed and distressed for our Royal Highness." Did you hear that, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't sleep well, and you couldn't afford it.

After the yin and yang were weird, Zhu Dawu smiled: "Everyone, let's go have breakfast first." ”

Don't be ignorant of the next cousin.

King Liang heard the meaning of Zhu Dawu's words, he glanced at Zhu Dawu deeply, and praised him sincerely: "Zhu Dawu is loyal." ”：，，.
