Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 229 Please Your Majesty, Let's Go Back!Abolishing the imperial examination is an eternal good policy! !
Nowadays, the residential areas of Beiping have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The land is nationalized, not only the fields, but even the land in the city is still the same.

This is the "land finance" proposed by Li Xiao to Zhu Yuanzhang.

A large amount of land is returned to the imperial court, so the land can be sold for money, and the local yamen can obtain money through land finance to support the development of the local yamen.

In prosperous Beiping, because the land has doubled, a lot of free land was born, and people in the surrounding counties can move freely, and many people enter the city to buy houses, and the land is valuable.

The newly established Planning Department of the Beiping prefect's yamen will plan commercial land and residential land, auction them to real estate dealers, and ask them to pay for the land and then develop it.

However, in order to maintain the cultural inheritance, Li Xiao did not interfere with how these communities were built.

Instead, let the merchants ask craftsmen to build the design as a whole.

You only need to maintain a certain amount of greenery and a unified style.

Therefore, in recent years, large communities have sprung up one by one.

But the style is still ancient.

For example, blue tiles and white walls, brick-carved gatehouses, and Huizhou ink-and-wash style communities.

Or red walls and green tiles, surrounded by mountains and rivers, winding paths leading to secluded places, roofs with high ridges and corners, gate towers with Jiangnan charm, and Supai architectural districts.

However, the main style of most of the residential areas is the symmetrically distributed, auspicious and auspicious quadrangle courtyard Beijing-style architectural community.

And the current community is also different from the previous ones. In the past, the large courtyards with four entrances by rich families covered an area of ​​several thousand square meters. Such courtyards are no longer visible.

In the community, they are all reduced courtyards, retaining the architectural style, but there are no large courtyards, which means that the wealth distance of the people is shortening.

In short, there are about [-] communities, which have driven a large number of migrant workers and craftsmen to work, and purchased a large number of brick and tile materials, which has promoted economic prosperity.

This Wangcheng Mansion District is one of them.

The main style is Beijing-style architecture, and there are small courtyards inside.

The courtyard is spacious and sparse, with independent houses on all sides. There are red lanterns hanging in front of the gate, vermilion door paint, and small stone lions standing on both sides, showing a luxurious atmosphere.

Although the area is much smaller than that of the big family's courtyard house, there are indeed many people enjoying such a courtyard house. Unlike before, only high officials and dignitaries can live in it.It can be said that in the old days, Wang Xietang's Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people.

“This house is also very well built.”

At this time, Zhang Dahui, who had heard the news just now, and his colleagues who were drinking with him, came to look at the Wangcheng Mansion after hearing the news.

Right now there is no concept of off-plan houses, and Li Xiao is not allowed to sell off-plan houses.

Prevent developers from running away, resulting in a large number of unfinished houses.

This Wangcheng mansion community has been built, and everyone is free to enter and visit.

After they came, they were stunned. The inside of the community was neatly planned, and a set of courtyards formed horizontally and vertically formed a rectangular shape and were evenly distributed.

"Although this courtyard house is not big, it should be very comfortable for a family to live in."

A colleague explored the courtyard, looking enviously.

They are just a group of petty officials. Even in Nanjing City, such a good house cannot be lived in.

"Go in and have a look?"

"Go, go in and see!"

As they said that, Zhang Dahui and the others randomly chose a set to enter.

After walking in, the spacious central courtyard, red painted columns and doors, and red cornices are dotted with gray wall tiles.

There is a small pool in the middle of the courtyard, and several goldfish swim leisurely in the pool.The courtyard is surrounded by some green trees and flowers, which make people feel fresh and natural.

At that time, a small table and a few chairs can be placed in the yard, where people can enjoy a cup of tea and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the yard.

"This house is good. The main house is for the family to live in. The side room is for the elderly. The servant room can be used by a servant. You can also bask in the sun in the yard on weekdays."

A colleague immediately fell in love with the house.

"It's really good. The location of this community is also good, and it's close to the Yamen."

So did another.

"But our officials are gone, it's useless to be close to the yamen."

Another person said that at this point, everyone couldn't help but look at Zhang Dahui. If it weren't for this guy's instigation, they would not have resigned.

"Everyone see what I am doing." Zhang Dahui also regretted it very much, and said helplessly, "I was also asked by the servant to resign together."

"."

Depressed, a few people had no choice but to walk outside the house.

Coincidentally, I happened to meet Wu Lin who was proud of his horseshoe.

"Master Wu, you have a good eye. The courtyard you chose is close to the lake, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful."

The one who spoke was Xiaomei, a salesperson from the real estate department. It is worth mentioning that women in Beiping are now allowed to participate in some jobs, not because they don’t leave the house.

So courageous women came out to look for work.

"Hahaha, yes, it's better if you introduced it." Wu Lin said with a smile: "Xiaomei. I don't know if you are married or not."

"My lord, the little girl is not yet married."

The salesperson Xiaomei said delicately.

She came to work in this real estate just to catch a wealthy son-in-law.

This Wu Lin in front of me is the son-in-law of the golden tortoise. He is still a fifth-rank court official before marriage, and now he is divided into houses. Which woman would not like it.

"How do you feel about me?"

Wu Lin stretched out his hand and took Xiaomei's delicate hand.

"My lord." Xiaomei called out delicately, without refusing.

However, when he reached a crowded place, he shook his hand away, "My lord, let's go to the sales office to sign the contract first. After signing the contract, this yard will belong to you."

"Okay, lead the way, I don't know if you are free tonight, I invite you to dinner." Wu Lin said hey.

As the two walked away, the voice gradually faded away.

"Damn it, a couple of dogs and men!"

Zhang Dahui scolded angrily behind his back: "After Li Xiao's messing around in this city of Beiping, the world has really declined, and the rituals and music have collapsed. I don't know how to write the word "honesty!"

Obviously, Zhang Dawei was sour.

The others are even more sour. They have a flat in Beiping, and they are quick at picking up girls.

"Why don't we buy a set too? If it's too late, we won't have a good seat!"

A colleague was tempted. He wanted to pay a deposit first, and then go to Nanjing City to sell his ancestral house and come here to buy a set. After all, the house here still has room for appreciation, so he might make a lot of money.

"Go and see, let's go!"

Several other people walked towards the sales office.

A few people went to the sales office and found a large sand table with the location of each set of yards marked on it. There are almost five or six hundred sets of yards densely packed, half of which have been marked red, and they must have been bought by someone. , there is really no good position.

"How much is this house??"

One of them hastily asked a woman, and found that the woman had a peach blossom face and was extremely good-looking, if she could be like Wu Lin.
Thinking of this, this person couldn't help but dream about something.

The sales woman said: "Hi sir, our location is good, the scenery is good, and the decoration is designed by famous craftsmen. The price starts from 2000 taels of silver."

"2000 taels of silver?" Several people couldn't help being stunned.

The sales woman nodded with a smile, and said: "2000 taels was the original price, but it is not for sale now. It was packaged and bought by the imperial court as a welfare housing. Do you have a document issued by the imperial court? You can directly choose a house. "

"This"

Several people now regret it even more.

I even missed 2000 taels of silver in my feelings! !
Even if it can't be divided, if you resell it, it will be 2000 taels! ! !
"Hey"

Zhang Dahui sighed, completely regretting it.

But he had no choice but to drag a few people towards the door to avoid being ridiculed. He found that there were still many colleagues here who were choosing a house, and they all looked at them with a hint of teasing in their eyes.

"Hey, isn't that Duan Xingsheng? Didn't he also resign, why did he sign the contract there?" Among the colleagues, a sharp-eyed person saw Duan Xingsheng.

They knew about this incident, and they were originally a small official in charge of the sixth rank of the Ministry of Punishment.

During that resignation trend, he also resigned.

"Yeah. Didn't he resign, why is he also signing the contract?"

Seeing this, Zhang Dahui and several people waited at the door.

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, after signing the contract, Duan Xingsheng took a deep breath, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Then, endless joy flooded his cheeks.

That's right, he also resigned, but when he found out about the room allocation for the first time, he regretted it very much.

Ever since, he went to the Ministry of Officials to try to restore his post as an official, but was rejected.

Reluctantly, he found many relationships, and found the prince Zhu Gaochi to intercede.

Zhu Gaochi found out that the Ministry of Punishment was indeed short of manpower, so he approved his reinstatement, but his grade dropped by one level, but it doesn't matter, as long as he can be assigned a house.

The allocation of houses is also based on grades. The higher the grade, the bigger the house and the better the location, but there is not too much difference. The starting price of the houses here is 2000 taels of silver.

"Great, great."

After signing the contract, Duan Xingsheng walked out of the sales office with a smile.

"Duan Xingsheng, didn't you resign, why did you also get a house?"

As soon as he went out, Zhang Dahui found him and pulled him aside to talk.

"I" Duan Xingsheng faltered for a while before he said, "To be honest, I'm reinstated."

"what!"

Everyone present was shocked!
If you can still be reinstated, I'll fuck it!
You kid is too smart!

"How did you get reinstated?" Zhang Dahui asked anxiously.

Duan Xingsheng said helplessly: "I found a way for the prince."

"You are shameless!" Zhang Dahui became anxious when he heard it. He didn't have the way to be a prince, but he was envious and jealous, so he could only curse: "It was agreed to resign together, why did you go back and reinstate secretly? What do you make the big guys think?" you."

In fact, Zhang Dahui was still a little dissatisfied.

Everyone is a colleague, and there are some small friendships.

You said earlier that you can divide the house, so we only know now, good guy, you just want to secretly occupy the house first, right?

Duan Xingsheng said angrily: "Okay, okay, you are high-minded, I still have seniors and juniors."

However, thinking that he had already been assigned a house, he added a word: "Colleagues, let me reveal a letter to you. Your news is too ill-informed. Hurry up and find a way. There is already a long queue at the entrance of the official department. It’s too late and the house is divided, so go cry.”

After finishing speaking, he laughed and left, humming a little song.

"I'm fucking, I'm fucking!"

A colleague said: "There are so many people queuing up to be reinstated. Why didn't I hear any news?"

Another person said: "Nonsense, those who know are hiding it, lest there are too many people and there is no way to reinstate. This Duan Xingsheng told us only after he got the house."

"Shameless! Old thief! A bunch of idiots!" Zhang Dahui scolded.

"Stop scolding, go to the official department to have a look."

Several other people have already run away at a gallop.

"Hey, you guys, wait for me."

In the blink of an eye, several people ran away.

Zhang Dahui had no choice but to chase after him in a hurry.

An hour later.

Several people rushed to the gate of the official office.

It was really a sea of ​​people, just like what Duan Xingsheng said, there was a long queue.

These are all officials who have resigned and now want to come back.

"Hey, hey, don't jump in line."

Zhang Da met an acquaintance and wanted to get in front, but was immediately called back by a group of people.

After all, if you choose one house and one less house, God knows if you still have a share in front of you, who would like to let others get in front of you.

Helpless, Zhang Dahui and the others had to wait in the back.

"Colleague, what's the situation, can this queue be reinstated?"

Zhang Dahui asked the people in front of him.

The person in front replied: "Don't ask me, I don't know either. I found out that there was a queue as soon as I arrived, so I just lined up, and the people in front didn't know either."

"Oh"

Not knowing what was going on, Zhang Dahui and the others had no choice but to line up honestly.

Good guy, Zhang Dahui found out that they were not the latest to hear the news, and there were slower ones.

The team lined up for a day, and many people came running behind him one after another, and they were also queuing.

This line is getting longer and longer, but there is no sign of progress, which makes people very anxious.

In the evening, when the office of the Ministry of Officials was on duty, the officials inside came out one after another, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Lu Zhen, was among them.

As soon as Shang Shu came out, the people in line shouted.

"Master Shangshu, can we be reinstated?"

"I beg Lord Shangshu, let us reinstate our posts. Isn't this imperial court short of people to work?"

"That's right, we've been queuing for a whole day, let me give you an explanation."

The people in line shouted.

"Who made you line up, it's useless."

Lu Zhen waved his hand and said, "Let's all go back, no one said that they can be reinstated, so go back."

With that said, he left without looking back.

The voice fell.

Everyone was shocked, feeling that they were waiting in line here for nothing.

After questioning each other, they found the reason.

It turned out that it was just a few people at the front of the line who wanted to be reinstated and waited outside the door, but the people who came behind thought they were queuing, so they queued up one after another.

This is a little embarrassing.
After discussing with everyone, we found out that someone has been reinstated.
Looks like we're still going to have a relationship.
Soon, all the officials of the official department left, and the rest were still in a daze.

Gradually, part of the team left.

This group of people is somewhat related.

He planned to go to the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, or to the Han king Zhu Gaoxu, or to officials who were close to the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty, such as Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and others.

Those who have no relationship are not reconciled and continue to wait in place.

This wait is one night.
Those who are looking for relationships are looking for relationships on their own.

That night.

The threshold of the mansion of Yang Shiqi and others was broken through.

"Master Yang, we are old acquaintances, please help me and ask Master Guoshi for mercy."

"Yes, Mr. Yang, please help me, please accept this kindness."

"My third uncle's grandson used to be your student. You must help me with this favor."

Many officials who were close to Yang Shiqi came to Yang Shiqi.

It is useless for them to go directly to the national teacher, they can only retreat.

"I remember, you guys scolded me for being a lackey of the National Teacher."

Yang Shiqi chuckled and closed the door, refusing to see any visitors.

The officials: "I was wrong, you are not a lackey, we are lackeys, Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, please open the door!"

In addition to Yang Shiqi, Lu Zhen, Yang Rong and others were also in the same situation.

Especially Zhu Gaochi, it's better to talk. Many people have found Zhu Gaochi through various relationships, but Zhu Gaochi is also a little annoyed, and the door is closed.

In short, everyone was shut out.

So the next day, they were all blocked in front of the official office.

Soon, they heard even more shocking news! ! !

The salaries of imperial officials have been raised as a whole!

Because the officials of Beiping Mansion were originally paid according to the standards of Beiping Mansion.

After the capital was moved, the officials of the central court were still paid according to the salary in Nanjing.

Among them, there is a big gap.

The officials of Beiping Prefecture, who were originally a special zone, had high salaries as a whole.

The salary of the fifth-rank magistrate Tongzhi is 300 taels, which is equivalent to the official second-rank salary of the central court officials!
The salary of the fourth-rank magistrate is 500 taels per year, which is equivalent to the salary of the first-rank officials of the central court officials.

On weekdays and festivals, there are various benefits.

Things like white sugar, brown sugar, grain and oil tickets, and supermarket tickets.

Originally under two different systems, I haven't come to remember the change.

The salary level and treatment of the officials of Beiping Mansion are two levels higher than that of the central officials of the imperial court as a whole!
But now it's fully unified! ! !
The salaries of officials in the central government of the imperial court have been on par with the original salaries of officials in Beiping Mansion.

In other words, the overall salary has tripled!
The original 500 two-year salary of first-rank officials has now become 500 taels!

Officials of all grades will receive a comprehensive increase in their treatment, which is similar to that of officials in the Beiping Special Zone.
Oh, by the way, the capital has been moved now, and there is no such thing as a special zone. It means that the capital city has become a special zone!

The treatment of officials in the entire capital is a bit higher than that of officials in other regions!
This news is so shocking!

Those who resigned are now full of regret.
"I beg Master Lu, please do me a favor and let us go back."

"I kowtow to you!! I have a senior and a junior, and the whole family depends on me to support me."

"Lord Lu, for the sake of our colleagues in the past, let us resume our jobs."

Early in the morning, just as Lu Zhen went to the yamen, he was besieged by a group of people. Their eyes were as fiery as they were, and they almost swallowed Lu Zhen alive.

"Guards, guards." Lu Zhen yelled, and the guards rushed over and pushed back the crowd before he entered the yamen to work.

And this group of people was not discouraged, and sat one by one in front of the official office.

There is a posture that moves the sky and the earth.
To the south of the palace is a "T"-shaped front yard surrounded by red walls, which is the palace square in the imperial city.

On the three ends of the "T" shaped square, a gate with three coupons is built, with the left gate of Chang'an in the east and the right gate of Chang'an in the west.

Between Tian'anmen and Daqingmen is the central royal road paved with stone slabs for the emperor to enter and exit.

Along the two sides of the central royal road, there is a 700-step corridor with eaves and ridges, and a vermilion palace wall with a height of more than 6 meters is built around the corridor.

Concentrated on both sides of the wall is the power center of the country, the central yamen.

The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Clan Mansion, Qin Tianjian and other official offices.

This group of people is waiting in this Thousand Steps Corridor.

At noon, everyone was hungry.

In order to prevent these officials from starving to death, Lu Zhen specially asked the vendors on the street to enter Zhengyang Gate and come to sell food at Qianbu Corridor.

So, hawkers looked for business opportunities one by one, came in with small carts, and sold iron lunch boxes. They used a stove to keep warm, and iron lunch boxes were placed inside.

There are rice and vegetables in the iron lunch box.

Generally, it is three meat and one vegetarian.

Shredded Potato Pork, Eggplant Sliced ​​Pork, Chili Twice Cooked Pork, Fried Vegetables.

"Iron lunch box, fifty cents a piece."

Vendors are hawking, and there is a burst of aroma from the iron lunch boxes in the carts.

"Give me one."

"I'll have one too."

"I want one!"

The officials scrambled over to pay for food.

Several carts of tin box lunches were sold out, and they sold well.

Officials eat their mouths full of oil. Don't look at the ugly appearance of this iron lunch box. It tastes really good. It has a lot of meat, a lot of portion, enough oil and water, and the price is affordable!
This is just a box lunch eaten by ordinary people.

The ingredients inside are already beyond the reach of other places.

Especially the chili fried pork, which can only be eaten in Beiping, and the people who eat it are sweating profusely and exclaiming happily.

This is why these officials are unwilling to return to Nanjing even after resigning.
Soon, two days passed.

During the period, it also rained, which drenched these officials into drenched chickens, and some people even caught wind and cold, and kept snotting their noses.

But it doesn't matter, there is also Dr. You Fang coming to prescribe medicine, and the medicine will cure the disease.

I have to say that the stamina of this group of people is really strong, no one left, and many people joined one after another during the period.

That is because no one left, and none of the people wanted to leave. If the Holy One was merciful one day and no one was there, wouldn't it be a big loss? ?

At that time, seeing other people with high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and being divided into houses, I have nothing, so I have to find a river to jump into?
During this period, they watched other officials passing by to go to court or go to work.

Walking with a smile on his face, he floated over to take a look from time to time.

These people have been divided into houses and their salaries have been increased, and now their rest and bathing time is the same as in Beiping, from nine to five, not to mention how enjoyable it is.

Ever since, the eyes of those who resigned and waited are only envious. How long ago, they were like this too.
"Aqiu." Zhang Dahui sneezed.

The colleague on the side said, "Brother Zhang, I see that you have caught the wind and cold, you should go back and rest."

"Go, go, I won't go back. If I just leave, the Holy One will be merciful. Wouldn't I have been waiting for nothing these days!"

Zhang Dahui said angrily.

He was sitting in the corridor, his hair was messy, he hadn't washed for a few days, his face was greasy, and he was very funny.

The colleague laughed and said: "At the beginning, you said that good horses don't turn back. Look at you, now you can't wait to turn back."

Zhang Dahui said: "You know what a fart, this is a prodigal son who will never change his money!"

"Okay, okay." A group of people laughed and said: "What a prodigal son, he won't change his money! I think the Holy Majesty will be moved by your spirit sooner or later."

After the words fell, more people laughed.

It seems that laughing at others is also laughing at yourself like self-deprecating.

While chatting and laughing, Lu Zhen suddenly came out and said with his hands on his hips, "Do you all want to come back and continue to work?"

The voice just fell.

Countless people stood up eagerly.

Could it be that the Holy Majesty wants to be merciful? ?
They looked at Lu Zhen expectantly and said:
"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Lord Lu, are we able to return to our original posts?"

"Lord Lu is a good man, a good man!"

Everyone's eyes were hotter than fire, and Lu Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was a sweet potato in their eyes.

Lu Zhen put his hands on his hips and said with a smile: "It's still early, and it depends on your performance. First fill out the form, come and hand out the reinstatement application form."

Afterwards, several officials from the Ministry of Officials took out the forms and distributed them.

"Give me, give me one."

"Don't squeeze, everyone has it!"

After some scrambling, the staff from the Ministry of Officials handed out the forms to everyone, and then they went back to the Yamen.

Everyone carefully held the form and found an open place to check it.

"Great, here's a chance!"

Zhang Dahui and the others also found an open place, which was not too dirty, and sat cross-legged on the ground to look at the form in their hands.

Fill in the above information such as name, original official position, age, length of service, etc.

There are three questions in the middle, and there is a blank space for writing, which reads:

[[-]. What is your opinion on the national policy of canceling the imperial examination? 】

[[-]. Tell me about your outstanding performance during your tenure? 】

[Three, if you are restored to your original post, can you implement the national policy and actively implement the tasks assigned by your superiors? 】

Zhang Dahui saw that the content filled in this form should be the key to determining whether he can be reinstated!

Great!Great!
Finally got a chance to get back to work!

I will never be impulsive again
"Who has a pen?" Zhang Dahui asked.

"No, didn't you bring it?" said the colleague.

Zhang Dahui gave him a kick and scolded, "Hurry up and buy it! Everyone buys a set of pens and inks, hurry up!"

The colleague said: "Why me?"

Zhang Dahui glared at him: "After reinstatement, are you still working under this official?"

"Yes Yes Yes"

As the saying goes, a high-level official crushes a person to death, and that person immediately ran outside to find a store to buy pens and inks.

Not long after, they brought back several sets of pens and inks, and a few people grinded the inks on the spot, lay down on the ground and began to fill in the form.

[[-]. What is your opinion on the national policy of canceling the imperial examination? 】

Zhang Dahui looked at the first question, thought about it, and began to fill it out.

He wrote on it: [Shang Ke, the abolition of the imperial examination has advantages and disadvantages. I think there are three advantages and three disadvantages. The advantage is one.]

Zhang Dahui was writing when he suddenly paused. He wanted to see what his colleagues were writing, so he turned his head and took a look.

Good guy that colleague wrote in the margin:

【This is a good strategy through the ages!It's a grand event!Benefiting the country and benefiting the people, we should strongly support it for the following reasons: First, we have solved the problem of obtaining talents through the ages, and used a more appropriate method]

"Dog thief!!!" Zhang Dahui couldn't help cursing.

I wrote "Shang Ke", but this guy directly wrote "Eternal Good Policy"!
Qiangu Liangci, you still resigned because of this matter, what a thief!
After Zhang Dahui finished cursing, he ran to the official office and begged:
"Can you give me a new form, I accidentally filled it out wrong just now, okay, thank you so much! Thank you so much! Don't make an example, next time I promise not to make a mistake"

Zhang Dahui, who took the new form, began to fill in again:
[Abolishing the imperial examination is an eternal good policy!There are ten advantages, first, second, third]

He directly upgraded the abolition of the imperial examination from a good policy through the ages to a good policy through the ages, and gave ten good reasons.

Look, this is a Confucian scholar, with a hard pen and a soft waist.

They can find out the disadvantages of the imperial examination, and they can also find out the benefits of abolishing the imperial examination. Their pen and ink skills can turn the black back and write the dead into the living.

Caused all this before and after the difference.

After all, there are only two words: interest!
And Li Xiao also grasped this point and played with people's hearts a little.

Of course, not everyone can bow down for three buckets of rice.

For example, Xie Jin, he has the character of a literati. Seeing that the officials are turning in the limelight, a wave of greater turmoil is starting to brew
(End of this chapter)
