Cao De explained helplessly: "Your Highness, this... needs to be divided into two. The old officials in the past are indeed not from professional backgrounds. Since the regulations were made five years ago, new civil officials have to have professional backgrounds."

"Okay! I won't pursue whether he is a professional background, but the external teaching is calculated based on the daily basis. Is this reasonable? I know that Zhang Chun's father, if there was no Jingkang disaster, his father would at least be a minister. Could it be that the son of the minister's son could not even finish his studies in an ordinary state? His situation is special. Is it true that your government office has no responsibility to write a document to the Interior Affairs Hall and ask for special treatment?"

"I am not aware of my mistakes!"

"If you know your mistakes, you must correct them. I would like to give two suggestions. First, equal pay for equal work. External teachers should be treated the same as civil servants and assistants. The salary should be the same, and the rest should be the same. We are never allowed to pay by day. They are teachers, not small workers with little work.

Second, the prefect Cao wrote a document to the Inner Affairs Hall, requiring the Inner Affairs Hall to make it clear to the people who returned from Liaodong. Those who need official qualifications should be regarded as official origins. Those who are not qualified to participate in the imperial examination will be given qualifications. There is no problem elsewhere, only Taiyuan Prefecture has it, so this is your responsibility."

Cao De nodded repeatedly, "I remember the humble profession."

Chen Qing pointed at Zhang Chun again, "I specially approved his situation. He is regarded as a professional class and hired as an assistant teacher. From the time he joined the company, he will be given any amount of money to make up for him!"

"thump!"

Zhang Chun and his wife knelt on the ground and kowtowed with tears in their eyes, "Thank you, Your Highness for your great kindness!"

"Please get up, please! Please get up!"

Chen Qingxu asked them to get up and smiled and said, "Teachers are your personal problem, but I also want to understand what everyone has in common. Tell me about it and tell the truth."

"The villain must tell the truth!"

Zhang Chun sat down again, wiped his tears and thought for a while, "In general, it's already very good. Everyone has a house to live in, so they won't live on the streets. Some people are old and helpless, at least they still have their own monthly living expenses, and food and accommodation are not a problem. But if you don't have any objections, that's a lie. There are indeed some things that make everyone dissatisfied."

"What are you dissatisfied with? Even if you say it, you don't have to be afraid of offending the Prime Minister Cao. He took office only in May this year. Many things are not his responsibility, but it depends on him to solve the problem in the future."

Cao De nodded and smiled, "Mr. Zhang said it straight, I am also a soldier and like people who are cheerful."

"Okay! I said, there are two main points. One is our identity. The people of Taiyuan call us natives. In fact, it is a kind of discrimination. They are unwilling to study with our children, unwilling to marry, and even become friends and maids. Their wages are lower than others. We also know that this discrimination cannot be eliminated in a day or two, and it takes several generations to slowly eliminate it. But the root cause is in the government. The government has assigned us another household registration, which is not the same as ordinary people. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, we become low-ranking households, and we even cannot move elsewhere, unless we are to be black households."

Chen Qing glanced at Cao De, and Cao De hurriedly said, "Zhang Chunxiao told me that the main purpose of getting a special household registration is to take care of them, such as sharing houses and providing guaranteed money, etc., and there is no intention of discrimination."

Zhang Chun said dissatisfiedly: "But in fact, we are discriminated against everywhere. Locals look down on us from the bottom of our hearts. We dare not say that we are from North, but we can tell by checking the household registration. Our household registration has a special number, just the word "North".

Chen Qing nodded, "It could be special at the beginning, but after so many years, it will become a burden to continue to be special. We must restore our normal household registration. Except for a few people who need special care to manage it alone, the rest are treated equally."

"I understand, I will make arrangements to eliminate the special household registration as soon as possible."

Chen Qing asked Zhang Chun with a smile again, "What about the second point?"

"The second point is the big thing, which is the house we live in. When we first distributed it to us, we agreed that as long as the original landlord did not come to ask for a house within three years, the house would belong to us. Now three years have passed and no one has come to ask for it. So according to the agreement, the house should be ours.

But we have not obtained the house deed and land deeds so far. Two months ago, the county government had a new statement, saying that the house was an official house, but it was temporarily lent to us to live in, and the rent was exempted for three years. In other words, we will collect rent from us in the future, and the house is not ours. This made everyone extremely angry. To be honest, tens of thousands of us are preparing to march to Jingzhao after the New Year to protest, protesting against the Taiyuan government's rebellion and deceiving us!"

Chen Qing was very annoyed. He calmly asked Cao De, "Does the magistrate Cao know about this?"

Cao De said in surprise: "I really don't know about this matter. I will start investigating tomorrow. If the government did make a promise before..."

Chen Qing shook his head, "You don't need to investigate. I remember it very clearly. This is my promise. I signed an order. The government will give them the house so that they can live and work in Taiyuan. I didn't say that the government will rent the house to them. Dividing the house and dividing the land is the same. It is to give ownership. Master Cao, do you understand what I mean?"

Cao De nodded, "I understand!"

Chen Qingdandan said: "The problems are all about Magistrate Wang of Yangqu County, let him reflect on it!"

.........

After leaving Zhang Chun's house, Chen Qing immediately climbed to the east city wall. He walked to the wall and supported the battlements to look out at the Taihang Mountains in the distance.

Cao De saw the worries in His Highness Yong's eyes and knew why he was annoyed. Cao De stepped forward and explained: "Mizhi will thoroughly investigate various problems and be responsible for this matter personally. If you find one thing to solve one thing, please rest assured!"

Chen Qing sighed softly and said, "I'm also blamed on this matter. I didn't explain it clearly to everyone. These people from North Returning to me are political test questions. If they handle it well, I will get points. If they don't handle it well, I will lose points.

If tens of thousands of them really went to Jingzhao to marche and petition, what would the court say? The passive court would definitely use this matter to make a fuss and promote it everywhere, 'Do you see if they brought people back or make people live like dogs? What is the difference between them and Jin State?'

To be honest, Zhang Chunxiao handled this matter very dissatisfied and disappointed my expectations for him."

Speaking of this, Chen Qing glanced at Cao De and said, "Prince Cao, the reason why I inspected Taiyuan is only concerned about the situation of the people who came back to the north is really because they are related to my reputation. I hope you can handle their affairs well, take appropriate care of them, and try to turn the situation around as soon as possible. This time, I will definitely be dismissed from the magistrate of Yangqu. You can recommend a capable magistrate."

Cao De said sincerely: "The humble rank guarantees that there will be great changes before the spring next year. Tomorrow, the humble rank will suspend the magistrate of Yangquwang, and then let the magistrate of Wu County temporarily take over the position of chief official. If he can do well, the humble rank will recommend him to take over as the magistrate."

Chen Qing nodded and said, "Do two things tomorrow. First, treat all external teachers as civil servants. From the time they joined the company, they will make up as much as they have given less money. You can't have a little Hanhu. Pay attention to what I mean and treat them as civil servants. If you don't let you really turn them into civil servants, then you will break the rules. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

"Secondly, at least twenty house deeds and land deeds will be issued tomorrow, and all of them will be issued before the New Year, and they will be widely publicized and let everyone in the city know that this is very important. With real real estate, they will have a belonging, and locals will not discriminate against them.

The third point is what I just thought of. It may not be done tomorrow, but it must be done as soon as possible. The government will select a group of knowledgeable young people from the North, including Zhang Chun today, and then invite a few experienced scholars to teach them how to prepare for the Mingjing subject. As long as they pass the Mingjing subject, they will formally hire them as assistant professors, which is very beneficial to improving their status."

"I remember what Your Highness said. You can make a military order. If there is no major change before the beginning of next spring, you are willing to resign."

Chen Qing smiled and said, "I will feel relieved if you say this!"
