Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Civilian training is over, and less than half of the Hanlin bachelors have passed the exam.The test topic is to simulate a medium-sized county. During the spring plowing, a drought occurred, and then there was a clan fight for water.The local prominent family has a large population, and more than a hundred people participated in the fighting. Not to mention the serious injuries, the dead, and those who beat the dead were hidden by the clan.Ask the county magistrate what to do?How to deal with this sudden criminal case without delaying the spring plowing, so that the murderer will be punished by law.

This exam question - the prince said it was written by Zhang Taifu.Taifu Zhang gritted his teeth with hatred, but he still couldn't tell anyone that it was from the prince.

This test question involves the conflict between the clan clan system and the court law, and the water power dispatch in case of drought in spring plowing. How to mediate between the clans in order to persuade the patriarch to hand over the hidden murderer.

The sage looked at this test question and praised Zhang Taifu, saying that only those who passed this test could convince the court that Hanlin scholars who were released to serve as county officials could bear the responsibility of parents in a county.

What to do if you fail, continue to study for half a year.

Still can't pass?Then you have to re-evaluate your talents.Wherever the position is suitable, it will be sent there, and the position will be rearranged.Don't think that you are a high-ranking Hanlin scholar, just a prime minister, you can point fingers at the government and make impassioned comments, an attitude that he must be a cabinet minister.A picture of sages selecting talents, omitting these most capable Hanlin scholars, all of them have a resentful and flamboyant attitude.

The prince only looked at Jia Daishan to arrange the generals' training and graduation exams.In the training of hundreds of people, 20 people were left in the end to continue learning.When the others were sent back, they were all promoted by half a rank, and the nature of their work changed to mainly do ideological work for soldiers, to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, to serve as soldiers to protect the family and the country, and so on.

Both the sage and the crown prince were closely watching the results of the training of these 80 people. Even Jia Daishan called them together from time to time in the Beijing camp to ask about the situation of the soldiers.For the parents of registered soldiers, they will receive preferential tax feedback, collect them, and feed them back to the sage and prince.

This year is an exam season.There is also a special assessment that will be held soon, and it will be held in the clan of the apprentice's family.

The content of the test includes cultural lessons, which are as difficult as a scholar; there is riding and archery, which requires standing archery, with eight out of ten shots and five out of ten shots in horse racing.

Anyone over the age of 15 can participate.After passing the assessment of the culture class, there will be an official to do it.If you are willing to continue studying, you can go to the Imperial College to study for free.After graduating from Guozijian, you can directly participate in Qiuwei.Those with excellent grades can go directly to Chunwei.If you pass the martial arts test, you can be a third-class bodyguard.

It's a pity that all the clan's children were taken out to take a test. Many of them didn't even read the Four Books and Five Classics smoothly, let alone make a fuss.Only two or three passed the culture class, but all the martial arts exams failed, and none of them passed.

When the sage learned the result of the assessment, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot with anger.

He complained to Prince Fu angrily, "These people are raised with hundreds of thousands or millions of silver every year, and they can't achieve martial arts without success. Yes, they only received the service money to eat and drink."

Prince Fu was very embarrassed. Several of his sons also participated in the exam, and they failed both civil and military.

After the saint's anger passed, he ordered the prince to draw up a clan resettlement plan.The next day the prince presented the fold.The sage read the clan training plan drawn up by the prince, and calculated the money saved, it was very feasible.He transferred a few well-learned old Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy to teach religious studies; he also selected a dozen martial arts masters from the imperial imperial army and sent them to teach religious studies in riding and shooting.

It is no longer possible to use the model of "raising pigs" in the previous dynasty to raise the clan members of the Tu family.Continue to pamper the clan, and live comfortably by relying on the monthly support money. From now on, it will be a replica of the clan of the previous dynasty.

The sage showed Prince Fu the booklet presented by the prince, and Prince Fu nodded and applauded repeatedly.Anyone who has a distant relative who only asks for money, food, and cries for poverty for decades, but doesn't want to do any work, will also feel disgusted.

The sage deliberated for a long time, and decided to draw a clear line from his brother and Prince Fu's generation.

The sage said to Prince Fu: "For those who are within the five clothes, the ones from the concubine will still be given two taels of silver per month; At the age of marriage, all the wedding money will be cancelled. Then, those who are over 60 years old will be given one tael of silver per month as a pension subsidy. Funeral money will be supplemented by 20 taels."

The amount of subsidized silver was calculated repeatedly by the prince to the saint.

The saint knocked on the roster of the clan, "Look at these people, while crying poor, they have no shortage of concubines. The sons and daughters of the concubine can have several children in a year, but there is only one in the few years of the concubine. If you are a kind of person, you have to let him experience the difficulty of supporting his family. Otherwise, all the revenue from the national treasury will be given to such people to raise concubines in the future. Let me put the ugliness in front of me, if anyone dares to cheat with a child from a concubine Get the money, and that family will never get a penny from now on.”

Prince Fu was astonished.

The sage doesn't care what Prince Fu thinks, he first made a noise against the clan and opposed "gentry and gentry pay food together", and he kept it in his heart.

"It's not that I don't care about the clan, and I don't help them find a way to survive. You see, if you don't limit your cultivation in Zongxue, those who are over six years old, regardless of gender, are free to study, and pens, ink, books and paper are free. Boys, those who can take the imperial examination go to the imperial examination, and those who can serve in the army go to the army. When they reach the age of marriage, the clan's financial support will be stopped. If you really don't learn anything, you don't want to do it, you can't do it, and you can't do it. Yes, go be a beggar. If you raise a pile of waste like the former clan, you will be ashamed of your ancestors."

The saint spoke for a while, took a few sips of tea, and continued: "Brother Sanhuang, you are Zongzheng, and the rules of the clan have to be changed. In the future, the children born by the side concubine will still have titles and subsidies. Others I don’t plan to give subsidy for titles and marriages to the children of concubines.”

Prince Fu was frightened immediately, he has several bastards.If the sage does not grant titles or marriage subsidies in the future, those children will have to pay a large sum of money for their marriages.

"Saint, this, this..." Prince Fu didn't say anything for a long time.

"Brother Sanhuang, your eldest son will be the county king in the future. The son born by the side concubine will be lowered to the second class compared with your second son. The son born by the concubine will be lowered to the second class. The rules of the time. But at that time, the Tai/Zu only had a few sons and grandsons, and how much the clan’s annual expenditure of Fengyin, you don’t need to look at the account books at that time, you can know it in your heart.”

Prince Fu nodded.

"They all shouted that everything should be done according to the time of the grandpa/grandfather. Hmph! At that time, the grandpa/grandfather paid as much silver taels to support the clan, and I will pay as much silver taels as the grandpa/grandfather paid in the future."

Prince Fu's face looked as if he had swallowed gall.With such a decision of the saint, he doesn't have to think about what other people's houses will be like, but his own house will be tense first.

Alas, it seems that in the future, I can no longer give birth at will, and I can get a subsidy of one tael of silver every month, what can I do with it!But he never had the guts to raise the slightest objection to the saint's words.He understood that he was able to be a Zongling because he was 100% obedient to the saint.

Prince Fu left the Hall of Mental Cultivation with heavy steps, carrying a series of decrees from the sage to reduce and subsidize the money.He went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to greet the Empress Dowager first, and then went to see his own mother, Concubine Gong Shun.

The concubine saw her son's complexion was not good and she was worried, so she couldn't help asking him about the clan.After Prince Fu told the meaning of the saint, he complained to his own mother.

"Mother and concubine, the sage is like this, the son really can't explain to the clan."

Concubine Gongshun clicked her tongue when she heard this, alas, this is too much.But she can only persuade her son who has become a sandwich cake and is in a dilemma.

"You can do what the saint wants to do. Otherwise, you will resign from this order and not take on the job of offending people?"

"Mother and concubine, if you don't do Zong Ling, you will lose thousands of taels of silver if you count the income for a year. It doesn't take three generations, and no one will pay attention to the demotion of the title."

"You are the only prince now, and those born out of concubines will not be given titles, nor will they be given wedding money. The saint is too stingy."

Concubine Gong Shun was originally a soft-tempered person, she couldn't help becoming angry when she heard that no title or wedding money was given.She knew that her son's family had to rely on this subsidy from the imperial court to raise their grandchildren, and the sudden loss of this sum of money would not only make her nervous, but she would definitely not have any more children from concubines in the future.Although I don't like the grandchildren of concubines that much, but it's not a bad thing to have more grandchildren, there are money from the court to raise children, and money for marriage.

Alas, it seems that as before, the plan of having more children and grandchildren is unnecessary in the future.

Prince Fu was just complaining quietly at his own mother's place.Seeing that his mother cared about this matter, he regretted coming over and talking too much, and it took a lot of talking to comfort his mother.

Regardless of Prince Fu's complaints, he knows what to do.When he returned home, he discussed with the princess how to serve his new favorites with Bizitang.He also called his grown-up sons together and told them that there would be no subsidy for the concubines after they were born, and whoever gave birth to a concubine would have no money to subsidize them if he tried to raise them himself.

The sage and the prince counted and counted, and they had to save what they could save.All that's left to do is open source.

"Chengxian, when will you be able to build sea-going ships in those docks?"

Foreign goods from the south sell well in the capital.I heard that the best and most expensive things were kept by the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.The sage was hesitant about building sea-going ships at first, but since Mo Jiu gave him those who worked in the Thirteenth Bank and his substantial net worth increased dramatically over the years, the sage felt that it was right to auction off the business license of the sea and go directly to the barbarians to buy foreign goods. Well worth doing.Especially with the proposal of the prince to jointly build a feasible offshore dock, the imperial court won half of the dock without paying a penny.
