I, my father-in-law, set off a frenzy of public examinations in ancient times

"This is the memorial sent by the Jinshi who was assigned to the post a few days ago. Now that I understand it, I'm here to ask Zhang Aiqing..."

Mrs. Zhang rolled his eyes a few times, he was just crying for poverty, there was no big problem, just ask.

"Does Zhang Aiqing know about Chaoyang County?"

Mrs. Zhang stroked his beard: "Fortunately, the veteran's memory has not faded: Chaoyang County is located in the east of Lingdong, with abundant products and fertile land stretching for more than [-] miles. It is a famous 'rice-producing county' in Chaozhou..."

"Very good," Han Yinchu interrupted him: "In Guangdong and Guangxi, rice is ripened two to three times a year, and the annual yield of one mu of fertile land is more than enough for one stone. Now Chaoyang County, which has fertile farmland 'stretching for more than two hundred miles', a Can't you collect [-] shi of rice and grain every year?"

The old man still hangs his neck: "Your Majesty, are the numbers you said too arbitrary? The records about Chaoyang County are all in the books. After all, no one has ever seen whether it is true that there are more than two hundred fertile fields in a row." inside'……

Besides, hasn't Chaoyang County collected [-] stones for three consecutive years?This is not enough to explain the problem..."

Han Yin waved his hand at the beginning, and the household servant who passed the "selection" last time stepped forward and replied:

"My lord Zhang, there are more than 170 counties in our dynasty, plus the land area of ​​our dynasty, the land area of ​​a county is controlled at about [-] mu. The area of ​​rivers etc...

Since Chaoyang County is known for its large production, it must have a flat terrain and abundant water and heat. Let alone more than [-] shi, after the grain is collected, the people can live a very rich life... ..."

Mr. Zhang started to panic a little, and only then did he feel that he had fallen into the little emperor's trap step by step!Originally, they planned to push the young and inexperienced emperor to a dead end, but they were rounded up by him instead! ——

And Guan Yujun will draw a conclusion on this matter, calling it "the wolf is surrounded and wiped out".

Mr. Zhang saw that the momentum was not good, and someone immediately came up to make a rescue: "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Household Department is still young, and he takes many things too lightly...

Chaoyang County is not only a famous county with a large production capacity, but also a famous "county with a large production capacity"!There are many aristocratic families there, all kinds of young talents emerge in endlessly, and it is known as the "hometown of Confucius and Mencius on the seashore", and the officials and gentry don't need to pay..."

"That's right, Your Majesty! Juren, tribute students, civil and military students, and supervisors, what is the purpose of their exams? There should be elements of not paying food and working as errands, right?!" Mrs. Zhang seemed to have recovered his voice, thinking Like the sound, it began to come alive again.

Han Yinchu laughed even more heartily, and finally got to the point!

He didn't speak, and continued to wave his hands. The servant of the household department ignored the cynicism of the two elders and continued: "According to the "Dayong Huidian Volume 65 Hukou 870", the current population of my dynasty is about 54. 810 households, or [-] people;
Chaoyang County is a large county, with a population of no less than 10, or almost 10; but even for a county with 800 people, according to the registered population of 400 squires, juren, tribute students, civil and military students There are [-] supervisors and [-] students, which can be called 'shocking'..."

Han Yinchu pinched his fingers: "Well... If you do this calculation, it is indeed reasonable that you can't even collect [-] shi of grain... Oh, by the way, Zhang Aiqing, how many people can produce a scholar? "

"..." Boss Zhang's cold sweat dripped down: What's the reason? !The emperor is slapping them in the face with arithmetic! ——

Only more than 46 scholars can be produced every year. According to the population reported by the minister of the household department just now, an average of [-] people can produce one scholar!They are in Chaoyang County, did they stab the nest of scholars? ...

"Why doesn't Zhang Aiqing speak anymore? Whatever I ask you, you just answer!—"

Only then did the little emperor realize that he was getting a little angry. He walked to the side of the guard with a knife, and pulled out the knife to play with it, seemingly bored. In fact, every time the cold light reflected by the cold blade would be reflected on his body just right. on the eyes.

Mrs. Zhang really couldn't bear this blatant threat, and knelt down on the ground very firmly, his knees collided with the gold bricks, making a crisp sound.

He tried his best to hold back the pain in his knees, grinning his teeth and said: "Emperor, Your Majesty... what's 'registered', the number of scholars and candidates in Chaoyang County is completely fake, if they really have such 'talented people' in Chaoyang County ', this year's Jinshi, about half of them are talents from their county...

But there are very few scholars in the Dangke, not to mention Chaoyang County, but in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions..."

When Mr. Zhang was kneeling on the ground, he was even thinking, didn’t the little Guan Gong public relations and Jun get married by answering an arithmetic problem asked by the emperor?Since then, he has jumped into the dragon's gate; I don't know if he can also...

"Crack!——" Han Yinchu threw a roster in front of him expressionlessly, breaking all the unrealistic fantasies of Mr. Zhang.

It clearly stated that all the more than 2000 squires, juren and supervisors registered in Chaoyang County, not including officials, were all submitted by the newly appointed magistrate of Chaoyang County.

Only then did Mr. Zhang understand how cunning the Chaoyang county magistrate who is "a new official with three fires" is! ——

As a county magistrate, he is clearly aware of the status quo of local tyrants and gentry occupying fertile land and local donating money and grain to buy fame, but he doesn't mention a word;

He also used their mouths to say the words "family gathering", and attached a "brilliant" roster, his "not to say" is even more powerful than "to say"! ——

He also used such a high-sounding reason as "the battalion army can't eat rice" to ask for half of the "grain reduction" for Chaoyang County.

Just wait for the memorial to be handed out under the noses of the local magistrates and prefects, and then return to the emperor's imperial decree of "strict investigation, strict punishment, and strict governance"!Maybe when the emperor was in a good mood, Shang Fang gave him all the swords!
So that he can hold the authority and the sacred will, face the local snake, and do it boldly and without any worries...

He really deserves to be the one chosen by the eunuch Guan Yujun. He has the same personality as a chicken thief, and there are eight hundred tricks hidden in every memorial: Although he has a strong head, he is not tough, and he is quietly looking for it. The biggest foreign aid...

"So in fact, everyone is very clear in their hearts. The problem is not that they can't produce eleven thousand stones, but that they can't even collect eleven thousand stones!"
