Chapter 150 Yang Biao's Worries

After all, the matter of farming is too important, so Zhang Ming revised the farming matters submitted by Da Si Nong over and over again.

For example, the initial share ratio was [-]% for the imperial court and [-]% for the common people, but Zhang Ming felt that the common people received less and lacked motivation, so he adjusted it to [-]% for both parties.

Five days later, an implementable farming plan was prepared. Although there were still many details not included, it did not affect the overall situation of farming.

Because farming is very important, Zhang Ming personally sent Da Sinonong to Hedong County, and at the same time conveyed a message to Zhu Jun, asking him not to return to Chang'an for the time being, and to actively cooperate with Da Sinonong's farming business in Hedong County.

In two days, Ma Jun lived up to his expectations and made the Quyuanli. With this thing, it will be much easier for farmers to reclaim the land.

During this period of time, due to the implementation of the most stringent cattle protection order, more and more dignitaries went to Hongnong County in order to have a bite of beef. For a while, Hongnong beef was expensive, but this kind of thing made Yang Biao very sad. It's a headache.

After all, even the emperor set an example by exchanging beef for mutton on some important occasions, so who would dare to take the risk among the officials below?

Yang Xiushen was in the palace and went to too many occasions with His Majesty. On these occasions, as long as there is a banquet, there will be no beef in all the banquets.

I heard that there was a child from a family in Chang'an City who wanted to eat beef, so he secretly asked someone to kill a cow. As a result, Jin Yiwei found out about it, and then told Chang'an Ling, and Chang'an Ling immediately arrested him, and he found it in his home beef.

After the trial of the Chang'an Order, the child of this family was sentenced to exile. This incident aroused great controversy. For a while, everyone dared not eat beef and killed cattle. Even dead cattle had to be buried on the spot. .

However, for those dead cows, the imperial court will issue some subsidies to prevent those farmers from taking risks. After all, a cow is basically equal to a farmer's entire property.

It was also for this reason that the children of these aristocratic families ran to Hongnong County. After all, the strictest protection order for farming cattle was only limited to the Sanfu area.

Of course, this is not a good phenomenon, even Yang Xiu has already noticed it, because these descendants of aristocratic families, dignitaries and dignitaries come to Hongnong County, and there are very few who do not visit the Yang family.

Even Yang Biao, who is in Chang'an, can receive many letters from his family every day, basically the content is who came to visit the family, and Yang Biao has never even heard of many people's names, but who let Yang Biao The status is high, and it is also the head of Hongnong County.

"Father, what's the matter?" Yang Xiu just came back from the palace and saw Yang Biao with a sad face.

"Xiu, take a look. This is the No. 20 letter from home." After finishing speaking, Yang Biao pointed to the letter on the table.

Yang Xiu opened these letters one by one, and there was nothing wrong with the contents. Obviously, he understood that it was not the contents of these letters that Yang Biao was worried about.

"Father, are you worried that His Majesty will suspect you of forming a clique for personal gain because of these letters?" Yang Xiu said slowly.

Yang Biao raised his old head and looked at the confident Yang Xiu. He knew that Yang Xiu was very favored by His Majesty's side, so he always had a happy smile on his face.

"Father, it will be all right. Now you are the Tai Tuo, the head of all officials, and your son is a celebrity around His Majesty, and those who visit at home are just ordinary officials. My father formed a clique for personal gain, and my father still looks down on them." Yang Xiu said disdainfully.

Although there are many people visiting Hongnong Yang's house, in fact, some high-ranking officials are very avoiding suspicion. Even if they go to Hongnong County to eat beef, they will not visit Yang's house.

"Xiu, there are some things, even if your father is innocent, as long as you leave this impression on people, you will be blamed as a father. You must remember that in the officialdom, you must not be careful at every step. Don't Presumptuously guessing the meaning of the Holy Majesty." Yang Biao said earnestly.

Yang Biao always spared no effort to teach his son Yang Xiu his years of experience as an official, especially now that his son is by His Majesty's side, although he is favored for a while, who can guarantee that he will always be favored.

"Then how will Father deal with it?" Yang Xiu lowered his head in shame and said.

"You go home on behalf of your father, let the family members thank the guests behind closed doors, and at the same time bring half of the Yang family's cattle to Chang'an, so it should be considered as a little effort for His Majesty." Yang Biao said with a sigh.

"Yes, father. My son, I will go to the palace to ask His Majesty for leave." Yang Xiu said.

"Go." Yang Biao nodded.

Yang Biao asked the housekeeper to send Yang Xiu away, while he read the book silently in the study. Now he finally realized the difficulty of his old friend Wang Yun.

Ever since Wang Yun stepped down, old friends such as Yang Biao still often visit. Those people who used to be in power have long since disappeared. Thinking of this, Yang Biao is afraid that one day he will follow Wang Yun's footsteps road, so he was careful in everything.

General Xu Rong spent more than a month, and finally cleared up all the uprising forces in the Sanfu area, and every time he passed a county, he would leave some soldiers to replace the original county according to the order of the imperial court. Make private soldiers.

So when Xu Rong returned to Chang'an, only about [-] of the original [-] soldiers were left, and he placed these soldiers in the military camp in the east of the city, and he chose to go to the palace to meet His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, my minister Xu Rong lived up to expectations and completed the task assigned by His Majesty." Xu Rong bowed and said.

"General Xu, thank you for your hard work. How is the raid going?" Zhang Ming asked, nodding his head.

If Zhang Ming wants to completely control the Sanfu area, the first task is to cut down the private soldiers attached to these areas, because these private soldiers will seriously hinder the penetration of intelligence forces, and even the Jinyiwei organization can't get in.

"Your Majesty, these thieves are not powerful. I divided the army into several groups and advanced at the same time. When these thieves heard the imperial army's visit, they panicked immediately. Some even fled to the nearby mountains, but they were still ordered by the minister. The army wiped out."

"However, even though I have advanced in many ways, it still took more than a month to complete the task of His Majesty. I am a little ashamed."

"However, when I placed soldiers in various places, there were actually a few county magistrates who tried to resist. For those county magistrates who tried to resist, I have already brought them back to Chang'an City, waiting for His Majesty to deal with them."

"I have left two hundred soldiers in each county. These soldiers are the elite of my subordinates. With them, there shouldn't be any problems in a short time." Xu Rong said calmly.

"General Xu, you have done a good job in this task. I am very satisfied. As for the county magistrates who resisted the imperial edict, you can hand them over to the court lieutenant." Zhang Ming said solemnly.

"General Xu, remember to report to the military headquarters." Zhang Ming ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Rong exited the Gaomen Hall after speaking.

Now that all the counties in the Sanfu area have finally cleared all private soldiers, the tax situation should be much better in the future.

Zhang Ming still remembers that when he wanted to reduce taxes, the biggest resistance was these local county magistrates. They used the name of private soldiers to guard against them, which made it impossible for the court to really reduce taxes. Just a fraction.

Now it is finally as the county magistrates wished. In the future, the local generals will no longer have private soldiers of the county magistrate, only soldiers of the imperial court, and these imperial soldiers only accept the salary and management of the imperial court.

After these county magistrates get used to it, Zhang Ming will withdraw some soldiers, and then place the Jinyiwei organization in the place to completely control the place.

For some things, haste makes waste, and these county magistrates must be given time to adapt.

As for Xu Rong, for a short time, Zhang Ming had no other arrangements. He could only let Xu Rong continue to train soldiers in the city, but the original establishment of Xu Rong's army needed to be disrupted.

It was not that Zhang Ming believed in Xu Rong, but that Xu Rong's army had followed Xu Rong for a long time and had developed a deep relationship. For the court, this was a very dangerous thing.

Now Zhu Jun's army is stationed in Hedong County, and Lu Bu's army is on guard in Yinyin, Henan. In Chang'an City, apart from the forbidden army and personal soldiers, and the [-] soldiers under the jurisdiction of the military department, the rest are Xu Rong's troops.

But this matter is not urgent, Zhang Ming can take his time.

Now in the Gaomen Hall, Zhang Ming is not the only one working alone, he has specially opened a meeting hall in the hall, and there are memorials brought from the Shangshutai.

These memorials will pass through the eyes of the five accompanying readers. Although they do not make revisions, just watching them is already a huge power.

Compared with the old people at Shangshutai, Zhang Ming still likes these young people. Their bodies and faces are full of vitality, representing the direction of this era.

Of course, sometimes, Zhang Ming would call these five people to discuss something. Although these young people’s ideas are somewhat radical, they are more receptive to fresh ideas. Even if Zhang Ming’s ideas are seriously advanced, these young people will often Find ways to solve it first, rather than directly opposing it.

This alone is much better than those ministers. Every time Zhang Ming is in the court, he has a slightly advanced idea, which is often refuted by the officials as soon as he puts it forward. This makes him feel unhappy every time he goes to the court.

Most of the time, Zhang Ming really couldn't argue with these ministers. Even though these ministers were relatively pedantic, they still had a lot of culture in their bones, so later, Zhang Ming was not willing to debate with ministers in court.

On this day, Zhang Ming discussed the examination system with five companions.

"Your Majesty, is the exam you mentioned the same as our selection?" Sima Yi asked first.

"It's almost the same, but it should be applied to the common people, not just limited to the scope of the imperial court and Beijing officials." Zhang Ming nodded and said.

This discussion was destined to be fruitless, but it still inspired this group of people. Fazheng proposed a new method, that is, to establish official academies in various places, and then take unified exams.

It has to be said that Fazheng's ideas are very similar to those of later generations, but it is a pity that the establishment of academies in various places is now out of reach.

Just as the six of them continued their discussion, Xiao Huangmen walked in from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Shaofu is here." Xiao Huangmen said carefully.

"Let him in."

Zhang Ming walked from the meeting hall to the hall, waiting for the Shaofu's arrival.

"Your Majesty, the Taixue has been completed. It took a total of one and a half months to build the Taixue." The Shaofu walked into the hall and said with a smile on his face.

In Shaofu's view, the reason why the construction time of Taixue this time is so short is mainly because the scale of Taixue is much smaller than before. After all, the previous Taixue could accommodate more than 3000 people, but this time the Taixue Learning to accommodate [-] people is already very good.

However, only Zhang Ming knew the reason for the fast construction. After all, the talent of project acceleration can be used in the construction of Taixue.

It is precisely because of this talent that Zhang Ming dared to carry out large-scale construction projects. Otherwise, he would have caused public resentment.

"Thanks for your hard work. You can send someone to check it a little bit. I don't want any construction problems in Taixue." Zhang Ming nodded and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Shaofu agreed, and then withdrew from the Gaomen Hall.

After Shaofu left Gaomen Hall, Zhang Ming sent someone to summon Yang Biao. This time, he was going to issue an edict to the Great Han Dynasty.

Yang Biao soon came to the high gate hall.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what is the matter of summoning the minister this time?" Yang Biao asked suspiciously.

Since Yang Biao asked Yang Xiu to thank guests behind closed doors last time, the Yang family has become much quieter. As for the farm cattle he asked Yang Xiu to give to the court, Zhang Ming was embarrassed to accept them all. Eighty percent of the price was purchased.

For Yang Biao's flattering behavior, Zhang Ming saw it in his eyes. Yang Biao is very good at doing things and being a man, and he is not very ambitious, so he actually likes it.

"The Shaofu just said that the Taixue has been built." Zhang Ming said slowly.

"So fast?" Yang Biao said in surprise.

"Yeah, it's pretty fast. But I asked him to check it carefully. If cutting corners and affecting the study of Tai students, the loss outweighs the gain." Zhang Ming said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean, start recruiting Taixue students from all over the world?" Yang Biao naturally knew the purpose of building Taixue.

"I do have this plan, but I don't know if Taifu is ready?" Zhang Ming asked.

Zhang Ming almost handed over the matter of restarting Taixue to Yang Biao. In his opinion, Yang Biao was not only the head of all officials, but also a family of Hongnong for generations. Many students of the Yang family were studying abroad, and Yang Biao himself also made good friends with great scholars, doctors and others. It can be said that no one is more suitable than Yang Biao to restart Taixue.

"Your Majesty, I'm ready."

"This time, I have invited more than 30 great Confucian scholars and doctors. They are all willing to return to Taixue to teach students. As for the test questions that His Majesty wants, I have also worked out with the Sangong Jiuqing, and I will also participate in the Taixue competition. The selection of students." Yang Biao said one by one, his ability to handle affairs is very strong, and he has completed these things a long time ago.

"Then I will trouble the Grand Master. I will also go to watch the selection of the Grand Master this time, but I will not interfere with how to select and what kind of people are selected." Zhang Ming said lightly.

"It's an honor for Your Majesty to go in person." Yang Biao echoed.
