Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 118 118 Wang Buli is not facing us

Regarding Wu Wei's words, Wang Guanzhong took over and poured him tea again: "Old parents, please have some tea."

"Drink after you finish talking."

Wu Wei stopped Wang Guanzhong's behavior and said to Wang Buli:

"You don't know much about the situation in the DPRK. There are no outsiders here. Let me tell you."

Although Wang Buli didn't want to listen to him, he said, "I hope my parents can give me some advice."

"Now that your Majesty is no longer conducting imperial examinations and has restored the imperial examination system, if your eldest brother wants to be an official, will anyone recommend him?"

Wu Wei glanced at Wang Guanzhong: "You must also know that we are studying in the Imperial College, but there are indeed people recommending students from Huaixi. For the official positions in the court, several out of ten people are from Huaixi.

The two of you are from Yingtian Mansion, so you don't have much chance of being recommended.

Now, there is such an opportunity in front of you two brothers. "

Wu Wei didn't just look at Wang Buli from his perspective, but also wanted to use his eldest brother to kidnap him.

You should think about it, this is a great thing for one person to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven.

Wang Guanzhong picked up the tea cup and was speechless. The two brothers had just discussed the conflict between Huaixi people and non-Huaixi people.

When he arrived in front of Wu Wei, the sixth-grade county magistrate, his words were already very straightforward.

For non-Huaixi people, it is difficult to have any room for advancement in the court.

But Wang Guanzhong didn't think so.

Almost none of the companion readers selected by the emperor for the prince were from Huaixi.

Nowadays, the world belongs to the people of Huaixi, but that may not be possible when the prince ascends the throne.

Wang Guanzhong was also afraid of what his second brother said, that in the future the court would make a list to settle the general ledger.

Therefore, at this time, the two brothers were surprisingly silent about the temptation thrown by Wu Wei.

Wang Buli heard the meaning of Wu Wei's words. It seemed that Hu Weiyong asked his fellow countryman to find out about him.

Wu Wei has always known that Wang Buli is a smart man, otherwise he would not have solved the case many times.

But he didn't expect that his eldest brother Wang Guanzhong would be able to remain calm when facing his own future.

These two brothers are extraordinary.

If an ordinary person hears his solicitation on behalf of someone, they can't wait to pounce on him and lick him wildly.

Who doesn’t want to join the ministry?

Even if a non-Huaixi person enters the Sixth Division, it is difficult for him to become a top leader.

Don’t the East Zhejiang faction, which is currently the most clamorous, have no ambition to fight?

Yang Xian died and Liu Ji died.

Prime Minister Wang Guangyang was also a wooden tablet in Zhongshu Province, and he often drunkenly ignored political affairs. Just because the emperor reformed Zhongshu Province, he was kicked to the "barren land" of Guangdong.

Not to mention Guangdong, even the closer Fujian was regarded as an uncivilized place in the Ming Dynasty.

Until the Wanli period, Shen Yiguan still said that Ye Xianggao, a Fujianese, could not speak as an official.

If an official comes from an uncivilized land, wouldn't that become a joke of the Ming Dynasty?

Then Ye Xianggao, a Fujianese from an uncivilized land, became the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty.

In the eyes of many people in the Ming Dynasty, Guangdong was not a good place, and most of them were exiled, second only to Peking, Liaodong, Hainan Island and other places.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were almost able to connect the big fellows from Huaixi with the little fellows.

Wang Buli did not follow Wu Wei and asked what the opportunity was.

He thought for a while and then said:

"Mr. Wu, at best, I'm content with the status quo; at worst, I'm not enterprising.

I have always felt that being a high official means you have to do a lot of things, and you have to take care of all kinds of officials, and they can't all be on the same page as me.

Even if I become the master of the torture chamber, I will still have to rack my brains for the tasks assigned by the superior officials, and the scribes below will also have to follow their own wishes.

I feel very tired as a small official. If I am allowed to be an official again, even if I sit in a position like Mr. Wu and become Bailihou, then I will not be able to manage this county into a mess, but it will also be managed by me. The emperor is accountable. "

"Hahaha."

Wu Wei couldn't help but laugh at Wang Buli's belittlement of his management skills. Only when a person can solve cases and ignore the minor and minor matters in the county can he focus better on the case.

If Wang Buli was really put in his position as the county magistrate, and all kinds of tedious matters in the county were piled on his desk, would Wang Buli still have the energy to solve the case?

Wu Wei shook his head and pointed at Wang Buli:

"You have no future. You have no intention of getting promoted at such a young age. What else can you do in the future?"

"Probably all that's left is to solve simple cases." Wang Buli also pretended to sigh:

"If it hadn't been for my eldest brother's classmate mentioning me in front of the prince, I wouldn't have had the chance to be named by the prince to investigate the case."

Hearing this, Wu Wei was already alert.

His eldest brother Wang Guanzhong studied in the Imperial College.

The emperor found many outstanding students for the prince to study with him, and among them there were actually classmates of his eldest brother.

"Buli, do you really don't want to be an official?"

"It's okay for me to solve cases under Mr. Wu. If I were asked to take care of other things, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do my best. Instead, I would lose my place as a recommender and end up with the Emperor."

In short, Wang Buli refused to answer directly.

Although Wu Wei was not good at handling county government affairs, he was extremely talented in party fighting.

He immediately said: "People always need to train. You are still young. Hu Xiang wants to see you in two days and give you some cases to investigate. Let's go to his house to worship together. I am also in your honor." ah!"

Wu Wei guessed that Wang Buli had met the prince, and he, a seventh-grade official, was probably not qualified to win over people.

It just so happens that Hu Xiang also wants to see him, then it will be up to Hu Xiang.

"I dare not refuse what my old parents said."

Wang Buli responded with his mouth.

At present, Hu Weiyong is the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he wants to see you as a minor official.

I want to teach you some crime-solving work, how can you shirk it?

Of course, the credibility of these words coming from Wu Wei's mouth is not that high.

Seeing that Wang Buli agreed so readily, Wu Wei confirmed what he was thinking.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

In the officialdom, who doesn't want to rise higher and higher?

Except for the position of emperor, who doesn't care about the position of prime minister?

Below one person, above ten thousand people, this is also the pinnacle of being a courtier. It is what these people have been dreaming of all their lives. Wu Wei does not believe that Wang Buli, a small official, does not have such thoughts.

Even if he doesn't have it now, once he hangs out in the officialdom for a long time, he will unconsciously have crazy thoughts of climbing up.

When Wang Guanzhong saw that his second brother had come down, he didn't say anything more.

If the Prime Minister comes to see you, can you refuse?

Even if you are valued by the prince and the prime minister wants to pinch you, there are plenty of ways.

The three of them chatted about other things for a while, but the conversation didn't stop there.

When the rain stopped, Wu Wei left to mind his own business.

This time he came out alone without an entourage. Some things needed to be done in person.

The Wang Buli brothers escorted Wuzhi County out of the house. It was not until they were far away that Wang Guanzhong said, "It's troublesome."

"I finally understand what dad said about being involuntarily."

Wang Buli waved his arms. He hadn't practiced martial arts for two or three days. The two veterans in the backyard started playing chess to pass the time.

"Are you really going?"

"Go." Wang Buli chuckled twice:

"Is it possible that I can still escape? Since I got involved in that case, I have been deeply involved in it. How can I avoid it?"

Wang Guanzhong didn't answer.

He knew that his younger brother used to rely on his strength to scare others, but after he took the position of the executioner, he rarely used force to lose his temper and began to use his brain.

People will eventually grow.

Wang Buli was just thinking, since he couldn't escape, how to send Hu Weiyong on his way quickly.

He has to die anyway, die early and be reborn early.

While the two brothers were standing at the door talking, the head of the village beat the gong and said that His Majesty had issued a new policy and asked the scholar to read it to the neighbors.

After all, everyone is illiterate, and Wang Buli, the executioner, can explain to everyone.

The two brothers were dragged away by the chief.

Wang Guanzhong looked at the policy posted on the bulletin board.

The two government officials who had not posted the notice quickly saluted when they saw Wang Buli approaching.

When everyone from house to house had arrived, Wang Guanzhong recited loudly:

"The order is to set up a bank for the bank, and each government will set it up separately, and the people in the government can replace it.

Each faint note is always finished with thirty characters in ink, and the number below five hundred is reduced in descending order. The word "faint note" is still printed in ink under the hundred characters on the banknote, sealed in the treasury, and sent to the Ministry of Finance on a quarterly basis.

If the Guan Bo is clear and the change is reversed, he will be punished with the same crime as those who mix up the banknotes with counterfeit banknotes. "

"Scholar of the Wang family, what does this mean? Explain it to the folks."

The neighbors are quite envious of Doctor Wang and his family.

The boss has a lot of potential, and he may have the potential to become a high official in the future.

The second child has a better reputation. Even the seventh-rank officials and our old parents can visit him in person. He also has the reputation of being a god in solving cases, and his future prospects will be better.

The third child is diligent and studious, and will be able to inherit his father's legacy and continue to treat the villagers. No one wants to offend the doctor. “The general idea is that for every old, tattered banknote, there is a cost of 30 yuan to replace it with a new one.

Other denominations will be reduced in proportion.

Recycled old banknotes must be stamped with the words "faint banknotes" in ink.

If someone comes to run a banknote with old banknotes whose face value and other words are still clearly visible, it is the same crime as destroying precious banknotes. "

After listening to Wang Guanzhong's explanation, the villagers immediately beamed with joy. Everyone knew that treasure banknotes would lose their value if they become old banknotes over time.

Now the emperor will actually give them new banknotes, which is a huge benefit.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Long live your Majesty."

The crowd started cheering, and everyone had a smile on their face.

This is a good policy!

Even if you spend thirty more coins, it's still better than the money rotting in your own hands and not being able to spend it!

After all the villagers had finished rejoicing, the village chief asked Wang Buli to tell everyone.

They don't know what punishment His Majesty has set for the crime, especially what the sentencing standards are under the Depressed Banknote Law.

The presence of Wang Buli, an official who is familiar with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, can give the villagers some clues to avoid committing crimes because of such a trivial matter.

"Everyone in the village knows that counterfeiting treasure banknotes is the same crime as counterfeiting imperial documents, and both are punishable by death, so I won't go into details."

Wang Buli pointed to the anti-corruption method in the notice:

"This sentence, according to the Ming Dynasty Law, the maximum punishment is to be sent to the army.

Therefore, when fellow villagers go to exchange treasure banknotes, they must ensure that the treasure banknotes in their hands are damaged and the handwriting is unclear.

Never exchange old banknotes for new ones with intact handwriting! "

I don't know how many people can understand the implications of Wang Buli's words, but they still understand the punishment of being sent to the army.

After all, only a few people have the ability to make counterfeit banknotes.

"Okay, okay, we've written it all down."

Anyone who can be an expert is naturally a good person and understands the hints in Wang Buli's words.

"By the way, when can we exchange it?"

"Starting from tomorrow." Wang Guanzhong said loudly again:

“My fellow villagers, if you want to exchange money, it’s best not to go alone.

Everyone discussed the time with the village chief today, and we will go together as a group early tomorrow morning to avoid having the newly exchanged banknotes stolen by thieves, being cut in line, or being embarrassed by the officials exchanging the precious banknotes.

Neighbors, be sure to bring dry food. I guess there will be a lot of people going to exchange it, and it is inevitable that there will be a long queue. "

"Yes, yes, the scholar is right."

The head of the village quickly agreed.

As soon as this policy came out, I don’t know how many people in Nanjing were going to redeem it.

If you are alone outside, you will inevitably be bullied.

Don’t blame everyone for hugging each other for warmth.

In fact, in ancient times, "regional" divisions were very serious, and your surrounding neighbors were your natural allies. Two villages often fought over each other to compete for water sources.

Now the Ming Dynasty has two geographically divided parties: Huaixi and Eastern Zhejiang. Later, there will be a dispute between the North and South, as well as Zhejiang, Qi, Chu and other parties.

On the other hand, some neighbors hurried home and carefully took out the nearly rotten treasure notes.

I came to ask Wang Buli if he could exchange it. He was really afraid of being sent to the army.

At first glance, it was because the laundry was ruined.

"I beat my mother-in-law, but fortunately the emperor showed mercy."

Wang Buli told him to keep it safe: "Go back and ask your mother-in-law to give you a good beating. It will be considered a return."

"Hahaha."

People around him burst into laughter.

"Doesn't it cost thirty coins? I feel bad."

Everyone's earning power is generally not high, which is equivalent to losing hundreds of dollars, how can you not feel distressed.

"Brother Zhang, thirty cents is quite easy to earn, but your mother-in-law still has to suffer the injustice of washing and cooking for you.

How can a couple stay together for a long time? When you should be soft, be soft. When a man needs to be hard, be a little harder. "

"Ha ha ha ha."

Brother Zhang took a selfie and patted his chest: "Old Zhang is very tough, how about we convince my mother-in-law?"

Wang Buli was also willing to help his neighbors debate whether the treasure notes could be redeemed.

Anyway, idle time is idle, and the adjacent relationship can be maintained.

Moreover, those who had Wang Buli confirmed that they could exchange their money were pleased with themselves and were ready to go and exchange it tomorrow.

The work doesn't stop until after dark.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the words and deeds of Wang Buli sent by the inspection school.

There is nothing surprising about Wu Wei, the seventh-rank magistrate of the county, personally visiting him.

Now that Hu Weiyong has met Wang Buli, he must pay close attention to him.

"Tell me, will Wang Buli go?"

"He is a smart man and will go." Zhu Biao stood aside and looked at the same booklet.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly. Even if a county official caught the eye of the prince and was summoned by the prime minister, could he not go to see him?

That spectrum is a bit too big.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Wang Buli and his brothers reading out his latest policies among the people, he also saw the people around him shouting words of gratitude to him as the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang will inevitably show a proud look.

The strategy we have set is quite popular among the people.

"This method of pouring money is not bad." Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard: "I just don't know how long it can last?"

Zhu Biao nodded: "Then I will go to the exchange site tomorrow to have a look."

"Let me go with you so that you can see what the people look like after exchanging money."

Early in the morning, Wang Buli and his two brothers went to Xingyongku together with their neighbors.

After I went there, I realized there was a long queue.

Moreover, this was because Xuanguan, who was outside Nanjing, did not arrive immediately, or was in a hurry.

The entire Yingtian Mansion has to come here for replacement.

Wang Buli was mentally prepared for this situation.

As a frequent spender, he doesn't have much money in his hands.

But his father, the miracle doctor, received a lot and needed to exchange it.

As the two brothers are the most important people in the neighborhood, they naturally have to cooperate with the mayor to bring everyone here.

"There are too many people. It will take us two or three hours to queue up."

"Ah."

Wang Buli put down his maza and sat directly aside, reading the strange novels his eldest brother had collected to pass the time.

The people in their group, because Wang Buli was well prepared and experienced in queuing, everyone was sitting in the queue with their little horses.

And it’s not easy to ask outsiders to jump in.

Anyone who dares to jump in line is not a man standing up.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his son got up early in the morning. As time went by, they looked at this spectacular procession on the second floor and could not see the end at a glance.

"I didn't expect so many people to exchange treasure notes." Prince Zhu Biao shook his head: "Dad, paper is not easy to preserve after all."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think so. His original intention was for the good of the people, but with so many people coming to change banknotes, wouldn't the value of the money he sent out be greatly reduced?

This is equivalent to the fact that the treasure banknotes issued this year can only be used to replace the treasure banknotes issued last year. He can only use a little money in his hands.

How to support him in conquering the north and south, constructing various places, and distributing rewards to the soldiers on the frontier?

Zhu Yuanzhang fell into thinking and must not proceed like this.

After all, Wang Buli's method was to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. He was just trying to alleviate the problem of worthless money in the hands of the people, but he didn't even think about us, the Ming Emperor.

"Dad, where is Wang Buli?"

When Zhu Biao heard the inspection report, he pointed at the team with concave characters outside. The people in front and behind were all standing, and the people in the middle section were sitting.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just seen a group of people behaving like this. He also knew that they were Wang Buli's neighbors. Yesterday, their village chief held a meeting to ask each family to bring horses. Those who did not have them borrowed them first, which was also recorded.

"Wang Buli's brain is very good, but he is not facing us."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed leisurely.

"Dad, what do you mean by this?"

Zhu Biao sometimes doesn't understand his father's brain circuit.

This move is obviously a policy of good people, and it will definitely make people all over the world support Ming's rule even more.

How could Wang Buli stop facing him?
