Ming dynasty grand dude

"Many elders in the court are not too young, and they have repeatedly asked to be appointed as officials but have not been granted by His Majesty..."

Speaking of this, Yu Chihu sighed and looked at the two of them with his seductive pair of red phoenix and peach blossoms.

"Your Majesty knows that the bosses are not in good spirits, but the affairs of the court cannot be separated from them..."

Pooh!How many of those old guys are really dedicated to serving? !A lot of people who should worry about Ding want to seize love!

If it weren't for being impeached to the point of bursting, few would really leave.

Zhang and Zhao felt aggrieved in their hearts, those old bastards occupied their positions and did not move their nests, so we couldn't make it through!

"I also heard that life is inconvenient for the old minister after he became an official, and his majesty feels ashamed for being shy in his pocket."

Yu Chihu didn't even need to look at these two people to know what they were thinking: "So..."

"His Majesty intends to create a new house - the 'Imperial Royal Counselor's Senate'!!"

This... what department is this? !Zhang and Zhao couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

:. :

Chapter 371 Static, dynamic, wind and thunder follow each other, and the overall situation in northern Guangdong will eventually change

"The Imperial Royal Counselor Senate is an indispensable establishment of His Majesty's gratitude to the six chiefs of the cabinet for their rich experience in the country."

Yu Chihu smiled at the two of them, and said softly: "Next, after the heads of the six cabinet ministries retire..."

"His Majesty will be appointed as the elder of the 'Imperial Royal Counselor Senate', and a hall in the palace will be used as an office..."

Fuck! !This specification is obviously to add a lock to the six cabinets!

"The Senate does not participate in governance and does not need to go to court. It just reviews the six cabinets and His Majesty's Zhu Zhu every day."

Following Mr. Zhang's explanation, the two quickly understood the composition and significance of the Senate.

The Senate only has the right to make suggestions and submit proposals, but has no decision-making power.

They can face to face and discuss a certain national policy and decision-making with the Six Ministries, but they do not directly participate in governing.

If it is said that they have great power, they are not great, but their influence is absolutely impossible to be small.

"In the future, the main teaching of the 'Imperial Royal Academy of Government Affairs' will be the elders of the Senate and the heads of the cabinet..."

But Yu Chihu looked at them with a smile, and said softly: "The Imperial Academy... is almost abolished now."

"I'm afraid the 'Imperial Royal Academy of Government Affairs' will replace it in the future, and after graduation, it will be an official or sent abroad."

"The students of the School of Government Affairs, in addition to the Shinke Scholars, are those who are excellent in the official examinations of the state capitals."

Speaking of this, Grandpa Zhang paused and said with a smile: "The School of Political Affairs is divided into three levels, junior high school and high..."

Hearing what Young Master Zhang said, Zhang Xuanying couldn't help but widen his eyes, and after a while he stood up, took two steps back and bowed to the end.

"The empire is so kind, Your Majesty knows you, how dare I not repay you with my body?! But there are orders, how dare you not obey!!"

Look at this Zhang Xuanying, then look at Zhao Lifu.

Young Master Zhang couldn't help sighing, the difference between an old official and a young man!

Zhang Xuanying realized immediately, Mr. Zhang is giving them a chance!

Obviously, this set of things was created by His Majesty, and it was not opposed because it took into account the interests of the cabinet and the six ministries.

This even takes into account the interests of the majority of Jinshi, and it is no longer a one-time imperial examination that will kill them all.

In the future, no matter how hard you work and how good your performance test is, it depends on whether the position is vacant and the ranking in the imperial examination.

After taking office, you have to take a merit test. After passing the merit test of the Ministry of Officials, you can enter the School of Political Affairs and be named "Student of the Son of Heaven" and be taught by the Senate.

An old official like Zhang Xuanying can figure out the circulation pattern of this system without even having to figure it out.

This is a whole cycle system, and getting a Jinshi is only the first step.

The three levels of the Imperial School of Political Affairs are obviously upgraded after the assessment.

That is to say, even local officials have a very good chance of entering the main center and finally serving in the Senate.

"I also ask the governor to make it clear that the next official must only follow the governor's lead!!"

Zhao Lifu is more straightforward, he is only in his 40s!

There are still a lot of official careers to work hard, if you can serve as a minister before sixty...

Fuck!Just thinking about it makes my heart burn, so what the hell is there to say? !

Even the "lower official" claimed to be on the job, so let's do what you say!Whose head you say beheaded, let's hesitate, then it's not raised by human beings!

"First of all, it's an 'examination course selection'..."

In fact, some systems of the Ming Dynasty are somewhat similar to those of later generations, such as the selection of examination courses in the Ministry of Officials.

It uses "hukou to reclaim land, money to enter and exit, how many thieves..." and so on to measure and compare.

Qiu Qiongshan, known as "the ancestor of civil servants of the Ming Dynasty" and "famous minister of Confucianism" conferred by Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty.

In his work "University Yanyi Supplement · The Method of Correcting Hundred Officials' Strict Examination Classes", it is said:

"In this dynasty, a hundred officials were tested. Under the Ministry of Officials, both internal and external officials took three years as one test, six years to retake the test, and nine years to pass the test..."

"Beginning to practice the code of dismissal, if it is, there will be a system of danger."

In fact, to put it bluntly, the performance evaluation of later generations is average. In the Ming Dynasty, if you want to be promoted, you have to evaluate your political performance.

For example, let's talk about the rate of admission to higher education, talk about the fart of chickens, talk about the rate of employment... Wait, you have to do well to get promoted!

Zhang Xiaogong's example at this moment is Zhang Hengshan, a Jinshi in Chenghua for 20 years.

This Heng Shan Gong served as the magistrate of Runing in southern Henan Province, and the Shigong Examination Department reported to him:

"Law enforcement is fair, taxes are equal, encourage farmers to promote education, and have outstanding achievements in government. We should promote their governance and conduct, which is called the number one in the country!"

Thus, this Hengshan Gong was promoted.

"The plan will be released?!" Zhao Lifu couldn't help flushing with excitement when he heard that he was about to improve his academic performance.

Young Master Zhang raised his finger and pointed with a smile at the distant river wharf that could be seen from the top of the mountain.

He said softly: "There is a square city in the capital, called 'Chaobai River Wharf Square City'."

"There are hundreds of shops along the straight road, and nearly a thousand shops in the inner streets! There are even thousands of stalls in Dafang City..."

As he said that, Grandpa Zhang pointed to the side with a slight swipe of his finger: "For large transactions, there are also warehouses for delivery."

"It's not difficult to build a store, but where does the money come from?! Who will settle in?!"

Zhang Xuanying was mature and prudent after all, and asked the most important question directly.

"Everyone in Chaobai River Wharf Square, the capital, come with me this time."

Grandpa Zhang looked at Zhang Xuanying with a smile, and said softly: "Money is not a problem, the government doesn't need to issue a penny."

"And... there's still money to be made!"

Looking at Zhang Xuanying and Zhao Lifu, Yu Chihu blinked at the pair of red phoenix and peach blossoms and said softly: "The city gate tax doesn't collect much, does it?!"

"At that time, we only need to let the city gate officials inform them that there is no need to pay the city gate tax for this transaction."

"How much is the city gate tax per day, I will pay twice to the chief envoy!"

double!Zhang Xuanying suddenly felt a little short of breath, but what Zhang Xiaogong said didn't stop there.

"After the prosperity of Fangshi, in order to keep Fangshi safe and guard against bandits and cunning, all traders who come here to trade must have a household registration certificate issued by the government..."

"When recruiting workers for the construction of Fangshi, those who have not issued a household registration certificate from the government will not be invited."

Fuck!This is Dingkou registration, if it is done, it will be natural that the number on Dingkou...

These two know how many hidden households there are in northern Guangdong!

If all these people were registered in the government register, it is estimated that the population of the entire northern Guangdong would be more than doubled!

"Xin Zhigong of the Ministry of Education and Education of the Imperial Preface and I have an old relationship, and I can also ask His Majesty to put the new county studies and social studies in northern Guangdong for trial..."

Great work for teaching! !Both Zhang Xuanying and Zhao Lifu's eyes were red, and their noses were wheezing heavily.

"As for the fertile land... I will meet with the gentry from northern Guangdong at that time. Do you want to settle in Dockside City..."

Zhang Xuanying and Zhao Lifu are so excited that they are about to kneel down to Zhang Xiaogong Yuchihu, you are a big critic!

Damn it!It's because the two of us have been struggling for so many years, and we are finally going to develop!

Grandpa Zhang Wenchang Kuixing, you do what you say!You said that this mountain is black, but we burned it to black without blinking an eye! !

Chapter 372 Zhou Jinshan, a wealthy gentry in northern Guangdong, is shocked and makes his debut

The gentry and merchants in northern Guangdong once again ushered in uneasiness, this time the Jade Chihu was going to entertain them.

Is this still not going? !The 37 households of the largest gentry and wealthy merchants in northern Guangdong communicated with each other and found that everyone went.

Even the chief envoy Zhang Xuanying and the procuratorate Zhao Lifu sent people to speak and said that they would be there at that time.

They inquired, and sure enough, several big restaurants in Yangcheng had received orders from the military camp to deliver food to the military camp.

Everyone's heart is relieved, after all, this jade chi tiger is too famous for committing suicide!

But the place where the banquet was held was a bit strange, it was not in any restaurant in Yangcheng, but in the suburbs.

And it's still on the riverside, what a good place for murder, arson, and throwing corpses...

Everyone sat in the carriage and came to the suburbs with one foot deep and one foot shallow, but they were shocked to find that there was an extra road here at some point.

And it's actually quite smooth, at least the carriage is not too bumpy when passing by.

The new-style four-wheeled carriages naturally spread to northern Guangdong, but there were no supporting sales outlets and no suitable repair craftsmen.

So naturally there is no corresponding sales, and it will take time to transport it from the capital to northern Guangdong.

Mr. Zhang doesn't mind being imitated, the main reason is that they can't imitate it!

In this era, most of them are still small handicraft workshops, and three or five skilled craftsmen can build a carriage is considered a great deal.

The construction period takes several months, and the cost is nearly 50 taels for the whole family.

But Mr. Zhang only sells it for 50 taels. How does this compare? !

The carriage rumbled to the banquet venue, and found that even the entrance of the venue had to be checked by someone.

Wehrmacht soldiers wearing armor of a style they had never seen checked their invitations with a serious face.

After entering Deyuan Gate, they passed through a section of gravel road, where their car was stopped and pulled aside.

Except for themselves, only one entourage is allowed to enter. Walking along the gravel road for a while, you can see a fire dragon stretching out.

Clusters of torches were set up in the iron frame circle, and the blazing fire even made the river look orange.

A series of square tables were placed in front of the torch holders, and on the tables were the

The handsome and dizzying Jade Chihu stood beside the top table with a smile, smiling reservedly at them.

Tonight, the Jade Chihu was wearing clothes they had never seen before, and he did not wear a crown on his head.

This seems to be a standard dress, and the whole dress looks extremely heroic.

Combined with his Danfeng Peach Blossom Goose Egg Noodles, and his tall and straight pine and cypress figure...

Let people look at it as if seeing the five mountains, majestic, beautiful, and heroic!

On the left and right sides of the case table were Zhang Xuanying, the chief executive, and Zhao Lifu, the inspector.

There are some middle-aged men with long beards sitting in the lower seats, although their names and identities are unknown.

But looking at the clothes and accessories on them, they have that kind of bearing.

Who can enter this banquet hall without the ups and downs of the business world for many years? !The eyes are extremely poisonous, and at a glance, it must be the family of the noble relatives.

After a while of greetings and waiting for them to sit down, Yu Chihu ordered people to serve the food with a smile.

Naturally, there are more dishes in northern Guangdong, and some of them are wild animals that the National Defense Forces killed when they went out for training today.

"You are all village elders, clan elders, and virtuous elders in Yangcheng, northern Guangdong. It is a great honor to meet you..."

A group of gentry and merchants at the table hurriedly got up and didn't dare to say anything, thinking that the Jade Chihu seems to be quite easy to talk to.
