my days with tyrants

Chapter 227 1000 Multiplayer Playing the Board, How Spectacular

Yang Feng, who walked out of the Chengtian Gate, immediately enjoyed the cheers from the northerners, including the northern officials waiting outside who also put on a look of gratitude. As for Ambassador Yang, he said very modestly that he just did what he could... …

"Yang is not taking sides, he just wants fairness.

I think I have to be fair!
Fair, fair, fair! "

Ambassador Yang shouted to the cheering crowd in front of Chengtian Gate.

In short, he, the hero in the hearts of the northern people, has a golden body.

"So the imperial examination must be reformed."

In the living room of the embassy, ​​Yang Feng continued to bewitch Zhu Yunxi.

The latter looked like he was listening to the instruction.

And his aunt was wearing a long dress with a very modern studio style, with a height of almost 1.7 meters and a 16-year-old face, she was lying on the window and pulling the abacus to make noise, and she was standing next to her, who had become her. Chun Ji, the secretary, kept reporting the accounts to her in a low voice...

"Losing money, losing money, losing money every day!"

The little princess said angrily.

He also dropped the abacus heavily.

Obviously, the recent period of losing money every day has made her intolerable.

It could also be intentional.

After all, her nephew is still here, and she is reminding her nephew, don't forget that there is still a huge loan, and you have to pay it back as soon as possible. All the expenses of Yang Feng's disturbance in Shanxi before were borne by her nephew.

Loan commitment.

As for what Yang Feng earned during this period...

No way, I didn't make a penny, and I kept losing money.

Yang Feng, who was talking, glanced at her speechlessly and continued.

"It's still what I suggested before. Select subjects by subject, and then cast a wide net to get more Jinshi. Dozens in one subject are too few, and two or three hundred are less. You have to take half of it anyway."

Yang Feng said.

"However, according to this method, even if all Jinshi were to be Zuo Er officials, there would still not be so many positions available for them. After all, Jinshi is batched every three years and the official function is held for decades. The reform of the imperial examination is probably inevitable, Grandpa Huang I thought about it before, it was just a lot of worries, but after this incident, he should be a little tired of these Confucian scholars. After all, you also said that when they think together, they can easily form a party. It is only 30 years now, the South Confucian scholars have already formed cliques, and in another 30 years, I am afraid that Confucian scholars from the north and the south will form cliques, so we have to guard against them, the best way is to join the Jinshi of miscellaneous subjects.

But there is still the same problem. It is easy for the imperial court to obtain Jinshi, but it is not easy to give them official positions.

After all, those are the official positions. "

Zhu Yunxi said.

"It's easy, the level of official is abolished, and all the officials in the yamen are changed to imperial examinations.

Of course, not directly.

As long as Jinshi are allowed to be all kinds of officials, and officials will no longer be appointed from outside the imperial examination, you should also implement the salary system for officials, so that you can just use these Jinshi to do it. If the nine-rank system is not enough, add a few more ranks. Nine grades are divided again.From the top of the ninth rank to the bottom of the ninth rank, from the top of the ninth rank, from the bottom of the ninth rank, all Jinshi except Ding Jia entered the Imperial Academy, the second rank stayed in Beijing, and those of the third rank were all distributed to various places to serve as scribes from the lower rank of nine. pawn. "

Yang Feng said.

This is his ultimate goal, to become civil servants in Great Britain.

Scholars?

Jinshi is only a junior civil servant.

What happened to the British civil servants, as long as the British civil servants can still be like Han concubines, they will not be able to produce a cabbage prime minister, and this system can form a stable government system. After all, the local officials of Ming Dynasty are not elected by the people.

The rest is that they rise by their ability, although it may also be their ability to rely on money.

But even if it is the ability to rely on cash, the premise must be some achievements.

After all, there are many competitors.

In the past, less than [-] newcomers from one subject flooded into the officialdom. After the reform, let alone more, more than [-] is no problem. If there are more people, there will be more competitors, and there will be more money-capable ones. Get some real results.

Otherwise, even if someone wants to be promoted, they have to be able to convince others.

"That's not bad, that is, the salary that the imperial court has to pay has increased."

Zhu Yunxi said.

"It's fine to change it to sending money in the future."

Yang Feng said.

As long as money is sent, it is a matter of printing money.

And now, with the improvement of the banking system, especially the first batch of silver refining in Japan, the purchasing power of treasure banknotes is stable, and there are more and more loans between banks and household departments. There is no need to print money anymore.

After all, the cost of printing money is not low.

The key is that the silver from the Wa country really came out.

It was hyped before, and the Japanese silver mountain was promoted as the cornerstone of the treasure banknote, and then the silver was issued, and the bank immediately released the exchange, even if it was only a small amount of exchange.

As for the large amount...

This kind of exchange cannot be reserved!
But during the few days he waited for an appointment, someone would come to talk to him.

then……

Why exchange?

It is not convenient to carry silver, no need, it is most convenient to use banknotes.

However, once in a while, a few large customers have to exchange banknotes into silver in the eyes of a large number of onlookers, and then pull a cart of silver to leave in a very ostentatious manner. As for the day after leaving, the silver will return to the The bank's underground vault, then there is no need to let outsiders know.

If the silver didn't go back, then it's time for Jin Yiwei to make an appearance.

black?
It's so dark!

But this set of one light and one dark, one black and one white cooperate with each other, but the common people who don't know the truth, all believe that the bank is free exchange, so the value of the treasure banknote is stable.It's just that this kind of operation is emergency, and it can be supported for a short time, relying on Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous spirit, but with the delivery of the first batch of silver from Japan, even those big customers, or wealthy nobles, are relieved.The rest is that as more and more silver is produced, the precious banknotes will truly transition to the gold and silver double standard.

Treasure banknotes are truly freely convertible.

But when that time comes, this currency will become stable in people's hearts.

"You give ten guan notes to an official in the capital every month, and he can support the whole family. If you give ten guan notes to an official in Yunnan, he can support himself."

said the little princess.

At this time, the price of grain in Yunnan is the highest.

Even under normal circumstances, it would cost more than twice, or even three or four times that of the capital city.

The key is that there are no good mountain crops in this era. In the future, potatoes and corn will be available, and the price of food there will be greatly reduced. Even if these need time to improve varieties, it is the same to top up sweet potatoes first.

Southwest development is inevitable.

It's just that the order of the north and then the southwest remains unchanged.

"Then give subsidies.

The basic salary is the same. Those who go to the frontier fortresses will receive additional subsidies. Different places have different subsidies. For example, those who go to Huining to be an official are twice as much as the capital, which is also very reasonable.Besides, he is going to be an official. If he can persuade the farmers and mulberry, and lead the common people to increase the grain production and lower the grain price, wouldn't it be all right?If you don't do things yourself, don't think of a way, and think the price of food is high, then it's a bit unreasonable to make trouble.

The imperial court let them be officials, let them do things, not let them enjoy the blessings. "

Yang Feng said.

The emperor's grandson next to him took a pen and kept writing down his suggestions...

"Let's go, there's another good show to watch!"

Zhang Ying suddenly ran in excitedly.

Then she looked at the grandson of the emperor...

"Uh, my concubine has met the grandson of the emperor."

She quickly saluted and said.

"What's the fun?"

The little princess was instantly refreshed.

Zhang Ying looked at the grandson of the emperor, and put on the face of a woman from a good family...

"The grandson of the emperor, the king of Guangze County brought thousands of Confucian scholars to be punished in place of his teacher at Fuque of Chengtian Gate."

She said.

"His teacher, Liu Sanwu?"

The little princess said in astonishment.

At this time, the emperor's grandson's face had already begun to show a murderous look...

Chengtianmen.

"I found that being able to cry, being able to cry, is also a skill!"

Yang Feng looked at Zhu Yunqi who was lying on the head of Wulong Bridge with emotion.

The latter is kneeling there, wearing the uniform of the county court on purpose. In fact, not only him, but also a lot of Confucian scholars, all of whom are Liu Sanwu bachelors. Because he was the Imperial College to offer wine last year, so now those in the Imperial College are all his students. There were nearly a thousand of these people alone, and as far as the eye could see, the scene was even more spectacular than those from the north.And Zhu Yunwen, who was at the front, was holding a petition for his grandfather in his hand. Although he could go in directly, he just wanted to kneel here to show his filial piety to his teacher.

He worshiped Liu Sanwu as his teacher.

Originally there was no such thing in history, but this time after losing the crown prince, in order to show his eagerness to learn, he went to worship Liu Sanwu as his teacher.

and so……

It's not too much for the students to come to ask to replace the teacher when they learn that the teacher is being tortured, right?

Very reasonable.

Very filial piety!

What happened to the King of Guangze County, he also needs to respect his teacher.

"That's why Liu Sanwu went to prison with all his might, and was severely tortured by Song Zhong when he was over 80. In fact, he was fighting for the name of filial piety for his students? I said that with his mind, it's not that simple. The master and apprentice cooperated well. ah,"

Yang Feng continued to stimulate Zhu Yunxi.

The latter was really irritated, his face could be said to be ashen.

When he was assassinated, he never saw this appearance.

He thought that he had already given his brother a lot of face. Since the last assassination, the two brothers had actually broken up, but during this period of time, he did not take any revenge against his brother himself.Although it was mainly because his grandfather was still alive, even if he wanted to throw his brother into the high wall of Fengyang, it would have to wait until his grandfather died, but he didn't expect that his brother would still not give up and keep making troubles.

"But what can he do, what can these thousands of students do for him?"

The little princess said suspiciously.

"Is this a few thousand students?

Behind this are the Confucian scholars in the entire south, the gentry in the entire south, and countless local tyrants.

And why did Liu Sanwu go to prison?
The northern candidates said that he was partial to the southern, and deliberately only admitted the southern candidates.

Then this is the saint in the eyes of the southern gentry!
So they did it on purpose, at least Liu Sanwu and King Guangze did it on purpose to stir up conflicts between the north and the south in this way, and he won the support of the southern gentry by saving the teacher.The grandson of the emperor won the support of the north in the north before, so they provoked conflicts between the north and the south, making the king of Guangze County the holy lord Mingjun in the eyes of the southern gentry, and then turning the dispute between the crown prince into a dispute between the north and the south of Ming Dynasty.

This old guy is very cunning, he tried his best to get himself into prison, and he also wanted to help his students. "

Yang Feng sneered.

So at this time Zhu Yuanzhang should also have a headache.

Pain the killer?
That puts him on the opposite side of the southern gentry...

Well, he shouldn't have a headache.

In the past, there have been many killers in history, not to mention that at this time, Lao Zhu was not afraid of offending the southern gentry. He confiscated his family and sent him to Fengyang to open up wasteland.

Not to mention this matter.

At this moment, an eunuch walked out from Chengtianmen...

"The king of Guangze County behaved badly. He gathered a crowd at Chengtianmen to make a noise. It was unseemly. He was sent back to the mansion by the guards in brocade clothes to contemplate his mistakes. All the sentient beings of the Guozijian were not good at studying, but they gathered at Chengtianmen. There was no supervision of the Guozijian offering wine and so on. Because of his dereliction of duty, all officials of the Guozijian will be dismissed, and all living beings in front of the Chengtian Gate will be deprived of their merits, and each person will have [-] sticks."

He read the decree.

Next to him, Li Liang rushed out with a large number of soldiers, and then began to hold down the students.

And the old eunuch brought a few guards in Jin Yi, walked up to Zhu Yunqi who was still crying, and directly set up the Guangze County King, and carried a small sedan chair beside him, stuffed him into the sedan chair, and then carried him out of the city.Zhu Yunwen has his own palace. Although he is the king of Guangze County, he has no fiefdom, so Zhu Yuanzhang built a county palace for him in the capital, and now he is directly escorted back to the palace to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors.As for Zhu Yunqi, of course he continued to cry in the sedan chair. This result must have been expected by them. Who is Lao Zhu, how could he be threatened in this way, and this was the result they wanted.

What is needed is this image of tragedy.

What we want is to let the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River know the price that King Guangze paid for saving the teacher.

Of course, the students of the Imperial College certainly did not expect such a result.

At this moment, they were looking at those wolf-like soldiers in panic. They thought they were the saviors with King Guangze, and they never thought that they were just the background board on the stage of King Guangze, and the one in front had already He was pushed to the ground by the soldiers, and then he took off his trousers, held down his hands and feet, and hit him with a board.

The screams made the students behind immediately wake up.

Then those clever ones ran away one after another. After all, there were so many of them, even if Li Liang came out with a large number of soldiers, it would be difficult to catch them all in a short time.

however……

There is no place to escape!

They were in front of Chengtian Gate, surrounded by a city wall. The main gate on the south side was not easily opened, only the left and right Chang'an gates were open. I can't escape for sure, I can only struggle in this cage.

They were like ducks chased by dogs, running in terror between the Thousand-step Corridor and the imperial passage, followed by soldiers who were chasing happily.

He fled.

he chased.

He can't fly!
Poor students, how can they run past the elite soldiers of the pro-military guards? This is the real imperial forest army of Ming Dynasty, so there are constant students who are thrown down and then directly pressed to the ground. Those soldiers seem to be doing something crazy. He took off their trousers with a grinning grin, picked up the board and beat them.

And the people who watched the excitement laughed happily.

"More than 1000 people playing board, what a spectacle!"

Yang Feng couldn't help but marvel at the scene of the students hitting the board in front of Chengtian Gate.
