The vision of the red building is farther

"Unexpectedly, I feel a little happy. I don't have to argue with those old men, don't deal with those official affairs, and don't even care about those complicated relationships. I just work hard and sleep peacefully." Hu Ji couldn't help but sighed. "Hehehe, you are really ideal, but it's a pity that I have always been very down-to-earth. You can't avoid troubles by changing your life. I just work hard and live better than yesterday." Jia Zhen sighed He took a breath and couldn't help laughing.

"It seems that my vision is right." Zheng Hedi also stood under the sun, looked at his ministers who were usually well-dressed, and looked at their efficiency in handling affairs. He couldn't help raising his eyebrows. The confidants behaved abnormally, especially when compared with the old fellows of the Guozijian, they said, "I'm afraid I can have a few more bowls of rice when I go back today." Eunuch Cen actually wanted to laugh, especially when he saw the Guozijian The appearance of those officials, the land is not leveled, let alone loose, but has become potholes, and look at the appearance of those guys, clothes, faces, beards, and hair are covered with a thin layer of soil , The sweat slid down, and some dirt was washed away. This face is black and white, which is really ridiculous.Besides, these officials of the Imperial College have always looked down on eunuchs like them, and always feel that they are superior to others. Of course, eunuch Cen himself is very happy to watch the jokes, even the children of the peasant family are probably more capable than these old guys.

"You said these officials of the Guozijian, how should I punish them? Last time I punished them for endorsement, and it seems that they are about to be assessed." Emperor Zhenghe asked lightly. "What does His Majesty mean?" Eunuch Cen asked cautiously. "If the endorsement is not successful, I will be fined to plant the land. Anyway, if I am not satisfied, I will take off the black hat." When Emperor Zhenghe said the last sentence, his eyes narrowed all of a sudden, revealing some power.

After Jia Zhen and the others had almost tidied up their piece of land, Zheng Hedi simply walked down the field, asked the old farmer on the side, and evenly scattered the rapeseed seeds that had been prepared a long time ago. In the field where the pit was dug, all the officials hurriedly put down their work and surrounded them. Some even wanted to sow these seeds on behalf of Zheng and Di in order to fight for performance, but Zheng and Di refused.The old farmer has become more courageous, and even gave advice to Zheng Hedi, who followed suit one by one, and scattered half of the land before handing it over to the officials of the Sixth Ministry, asking them to continue. The excellent officials of the six ministries each rewarded ten pieces of top-quality silk and satin, and Emperor Zhenghe even praised the two principals of the Ministry of Industry, which made them very excited.The officials of the Guozijian who had something to say were confused by Zhenghe Dixin's decree. After reciting those rebellious books, Zhenghedi punished them to work with old farmers. They must take care of the field themselves. It is simply absurd to ask them to take the blame and retreat, but Zhenghe Ditianzi is very powerful, and there are officials such as Jia Zhen watching over him, so they have no choice but to bow their heads.

Emperor Zhenghe couldn't help being happy when he saw the sluggish expressions of the officials who only knew how to fill in the gaps. As for Jia Zhen, they really wanted to laugh too, but unfortunately they could only hold it in their stomachs for a while, but the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment couldn't help it. Go shoulder to shoulder with Li Jijiu, mocking Li Jijiu's rare image problem.

However, the faces of many officials who participated in the entourage on the second day were not very good-looking. If you look closely, your body is stiff, your movements are mechanical, and your expression is solemn. At first glance, you know that you were overworked yesterday, your muscles were tired, and a large amount of lactic acid was produced. All kinds of soreness.Jia Zhen couldn't help but think of the content of her physical education theory test back then. Because he kept exercising, his overall condition was quite good. He, Hu Ji and a small group of people became the objects of envy and hatred. This guy is still shameless, he was praised and rewarded by Emperor Zhenghe yesterday, and he is still so energetic and refreshed today, it is simply unbearable, even Shangshu Yun of the Ministry of Households can't help but stare at them secretly A few glances.In fact, these officials' family backgrounds are all good, and they have maids and maids to serve them. It's not that serious after all. It's just that they are used to being pampered, or they are just old.

After Emperor Zhenghe repaired some unprogressive ministers in a way that was beyond everyone's expectations, it has to be said that the air in the imperial court is much fresher.However, Emperor Zhenghe's attention was temporarily diverted from the Ministry of Officials, but on the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is particularly busy these days. Even Jia Zhen has to say that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry has lost a lot of weight.As for Jia Zhen's worries, she had a lot of troubles. She originally wanted to attack the local county officials, but the talent pool was really insufficient. She had to draft a new constitution for the Imperial College, and take care of the schoolwork of the Jinshi. It is even more important to find time to recharge yourself. Parent-child time at home is also a must. Jia Zhen consciously feels no different from spinning a spinning top.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and the examination results of the 88 Scholars were all quite good, and there was no case of failure.Think about it too, this is going to be the end of the day, and no one will give up at this juncture.Jia Zhen is still quite satisfied with their performance, and according to their actual situation, Jia Zhen allocated the 16 undecided people to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment.What made Jia Zhen happy was that the 88 people performed quite well. Although some people still made mistakes, they were obviously much better than those before. The tolerance and tolerance of the officials in various ministries who experienced the staff shortage have all increased. Quite a lot, the combination of these two, the effect is quite good, that is, the government and the emperor are very satisfied with this situation, this kind of training is much better than the effect of throwing it to the Hanlin Academy. Although the imperial court is still short of manpower, but Barely tolerable, he still needs more talents, practical talents, to replace the local officials who have problems, and replace some officials who should be replaced.

"Let's do it like this in the future. I have also read your regulations of the Imperial College. It's a good idea, but this person is still a problem. I'm afraid it can't be done right now, but it's true that those students should not be asked to only read the Four Books and Five Classics. It’s stupid to study. Next year’s imperial examinations will be handed over to King Li and Jia Aiqing. As for the other candidate, Liu Aiqing will be on top, and the subsequent training will be handed over to Jia Aiqing and Hu Aiqing.” Emperor Zhenghe sighed, road.

"I will obey your orders." Everyone quickly responded.Both civil and military examinations are important matters. Jia Zhen was at best a half-way monk's helper, but now it's different. Speaking of which, this is the first time he has participated in the entire imperial examination process. "Hey, those scholars don't know how they will behave this time?" Prince Li smiled slightly. Although he dismissed the group of students last time, his words and hands were in their hands, and he was often ridiculed in private , It's just that these students are wronged and dare not speak too much, otherwise, this momentum will inevitably be huge. "There are those who are obedient, those who want to try their luck, and those who speculate." Liu Hongfei flipped through the classics in his hand, with a calm expression on his face, and said absent-mindedly.

"The content of the three exams this time, I still have to move a little bit, especially the first and second." The corners of Li Junwang's eyes were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, revealing an indescribable Feel.Liu Hongfei and Jia Zhen glanced at each other, and quickly bowed to Li Junwang, willing to listen to Li Junwang's next words. "I remember that Shihuai once said, should we open our eyes and open the world? I thought it made sense. These Jinshi will become officials in the court in the future. If they can't accept those affairs, then they will be with those old things. What's the difference?" Li Junwang doesn't play tricks, being scolded once is scolding, scolded twice is also scolding, it's better to just do nothing, it's much better than slowing down there, thinking of spying The news made Prince Li feel heavy in his heart.

Whether in the workplace or in the official world, for those who are in it, reading the air is an essential skill, and of course how to choose afterwards depends on personal decision.Although Liu Hongfei and Jia Zhen were both Zheng Hedi's confidantes, they didn't know every detail of everything, but seeing the posture of Li Junwang, they knew that it was imperative.Jia Zhen felt that the officials of the Guozijian had almost been taken over anyway, and the imperial examination was still missing? "By the way, the meaning of the Holy Majesty this time is to work hard, the second army." Although Lijun Wang was heavy-hearted, he still maintained his royal demeanor.But Liu Hongfei and Jia Zhen couldn't help but glance at each other, thinking of the latest news from the Ministry of Finance, could it be—

At the beginning of June, envoys from various countries came to visit Zhenghe Emperor. These envoys from various countries arrived at the capital one after another around May, and the officials of Honglu Temple made unified arrangements, and the things they presented were also presented by the Ministry of Rites. After reading it, hand it over to the household department for deposit one by one. Most of them are worthless things, or some novel western decorations, especially those sent by Korea. Unexpectedly, the empress of Qianxiang Country (Japan) even gave her a sweat scarf. This stunned all the officials of the Ministry of Rites and couldn't help cursing in their hearts that this is indeed a country of barbarians. Son, a busy official ordered the little official behind him to tell Liu Hongfei to go.

Hearing the little official's words, Liu Hongfei couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, tsk tsk, Qian Xiangguo's guts must be too big.Liu Hongfei bowed his head and ordered the little official, just seal it up first.Finally, these things were counted one after another, and Emperor Zhenghe chose one of the few days sent by Qin Tianjian to meet them.Among these things, what Zhenghedi is most interested in is the model of the Western warship sent by the Netherlands. It is very finely made, and its appearance is somewhat different from the previous ones. People came to study the ship, and the rest of the classics and the like have been handed over to the Siyi Pavilion for translation.

What laymen see is excitement, what insiders see is doorway.Zheng Hedi was only aroused by the model of the warship, but the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was very keen to discover the unusual features revealed in the model. "Lu Jun, how about this ship? How does our warship compare with it?" Emperor Zhenghe asked, beckoning to Minister of Industry. "In my opinion, our warship is better, but this Dutch warship also has merits. Your Majesty, look at the bow of this ship and two forts. Compared with this, ours has some shortcomings, especially the fort. One, although I don’t know the structure inside? But according to Yichen’s judgment, this fort can accommodate two cannons at the same time, or if those Dutch foreign men made cannons that can rotate at multiple angles, coupled with this fort, the power is infinite Ah." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry pointed out the few places he saw very seriously and explained to everyone present.

"That's it, these foreigners are really smart." Emperor Zhenghe frowned slightly, turned to look at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and said, "Lu Jun, how long will it take us to change our warships to this? No, what I want is to be more advanced and powerful. We can't be beaten." "Five years if you return to the Holy One." Lu Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, estimated the time and took a reasonable number, and said. "It's too long, three years, this is the longest time I can wait." Emperor Zhenghe touched the warship in front of him, his brows darkened. "Your Majesty, this man is easy to deal with, but the blueprints are difficult to deal with. Besides, this warship has to be tested repeatedly in the water, but this silver—" the Ministry of Industry Minister was a little embarrassed, and he glanced at the Minister of the Household Department and said.

"I'll leave this person to Jia Zhen. I don't believe that Dayang Dynasty can't find someone who can build ships. By the way, there are not enough people with guns and artillery, so I will leave it to you." Zheng Hedi Of course, I heard the meaning behind the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, pondered for a moment, and threw this hot potato to Jia Zhen. Jia Zhen couldn't help but roar in her heart, when did the Minister of the Ministry of Officials work part-time as a headhunter? , I don’t even know how to find a good one?Lu Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, couldn't help looking at Jia Zhen with sympathetic eyes, but he was still a little relieved in his heart. He hoped that Jia Zhen could find talents, so that he would be able to do business here. God knows that he will not be able to eat well these days. sleep soundly.

"Chen——" The Minister of the Ministry of Households naturally finds it difficult. Anyway, he must be blamed. These guns, artillery, and warships are all money-burning things. Taxes will not have much profit in the past few years. In the face of natural disasters, this money is indeed difficult to raise!He can't make money out of thin air. "Don't I remember that the officials whose homes were confiscated had a lot of property registered?" Emperor Zhenghe glanced at his household secretary and felt that his stomach hurts. This dragon chair is like a mountain of swords and fire, alas. "Your Majesty, although there is a lot of property, it is just a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of the entire imperial court. Even if we can still copy ten, hundreds, or thousands of corrupt officials, the expenditure of the Ministry of Industry is really too high." Fill it in. The people's power is exhausted, and they can't go to war in the past five years." Minister Yun Shangshu gritted his teeth and said.

There was silence in the Nuan Pavilion, Zheng Hedi couldn't help smashing a cup in such an atmosphere, the movement frightened everyone to kneel down and said. "Get up, this has nothing to do with you. I am not angry at you." Emperor Zhenghe sat on the chair, took the handkerchief handed over by the eunuch, wiped his hands, and slowed down his tone slightly. But the suppressed anger could still be heard.

"My lord, I have a message." After a long silence, Li An said. "Say." Emperor Zhenghe glanced at Li An and said. "Your Majesty understands what His Majesty means. His Majesty wants to do both, but the current situation cannot tolerate this. I think it is better to develop firearms first. There are endless internal and external troubles in the Central Dynasty, and there are even foreigners who are eyeing them. But the most important thing is the gold in the north." People and Mongols, and Qianxiang Kingdom, the Netherlands and other countries are separated from the Dayang Dynasty and the sea, we can't get through it for the time being, and they can't do anything to us, the sea battle is not good, and we can still rely on the land battle." Li An's words were sincere and calm , especially loud in the quiet warm pavilion. "You mean——, you're right, I'm too impatient. Li An, Li An, do you know that even the expenses for guns and cannons, the Ministry of Households can hardly come up with the funds for five years." Zheng He When Di said the latter, he couldn't help showing a wry smile.

"Then hurry up with the guns and cannons first. As for the talents, Jia Aiqing will take care of them." Emperor Zhenghe clenched his fists, even if the household department was stretched, these things still had to be done, and they must not be left behind by others. "Your Majesty, this minister really has nothing to do." The Minister of the Household Department couldn't help crying. What can we do with the money? It's impossible to give him three heads and six arms. Even the Minister of the Household Department couldn't help complaining in his heart. Starting from the dead Emperor Wen Yuan, if it wasn't for Emperor Wen Yuan to build a garden and mausoleum, and even move some money from military supplies for his own enjoyment, how could the current household department be in such a field.

Hubu Shangshu kept kowtow, hoping that Emperor Zhenghe could take back his order.Zheng Hedi's face was slightly cold, but he just sat there and refused to say a word, even Xu Wenqing couldn't help pleading for his immediate superior. "I have an idea, but I don't know whether it should be done or not." Jia Zhen said suddenly, her hands were slightly sweating. This idea was really too unexpected, and it should be completely different from the current thinking. "Let's talk." Emperor Zhenghe looked at Jia Zhen's perplexed expression, and felt in his heart that this idea might not be considered very good, but if there is no way out now, it's better to listen to Jia Zhen and see what he thinks first.

"A country of ten thousand vehicles must have merchants of ten thousand gold, and a country of thousands of vehicles must have merchants of thousands of gold. People live on the land, and now they need to cultivate and live, so it is not appropriate to increase their burden. However, merchants are different. They sell goods , the money in his hands is much more than that of the farmers, among other things, I have gone to Yangzhou Jinling and other places before, and the salt merchants in that area can almost be said to be the richest in the world, and the assets of those salt merchants colluding with government and businessmen are also seen by the Holy Lord. However, if we can ask them to contribute, even encourage these merchants to trade, and extract taxes from them, then it will not waste money and money, and can make the country on the right track, which can be said to be of great benefit to the country. "Jia Zhen raised her head and tried to express her thoughts. In the past dynasties, there were few such thoughts, and most of them emphasized agriculture and suppressed business. His suggestion can be said to be extremely bold.
