This poem, whose name is unknown, has been spread in various circles in the capital since the afternoon.

At night, this poem was already on the desk of Emperor Jing He’s imperial study.

Just after reading the first sentence, Jing Hedi's eyes were inseparable.

After watching it, after a while, Emperor Jing He sighed: "I have this Qilin son in my family, it is really a blessing from my ancestors!"

At this time, there were two trusted officials beside Emperor Jinghe, and he was shocked when he heard this.

They thought they were talking about His Royal Highness.

As a result, when Jing and Emperor handed the silk paper to the two of them, they realized that it was not.

Because the front of this poem is written as "On the ninth day of the sixth month of the thirty year of Jinghe, Prince Yu, Liu Mingqi, was written in the Burial Flower Building."

Prince Yu, Liu Mingqi, has been very popular during this period. The two important officials naturally knew him, but they didn't know that Liu Mingqi could write poems.

After reading it, the eyes of the two important officials were frozen, and they were inseparable from paper for a long time.

I don’t know how long it took, but a middle-aged man with a handsome black beard clapped and said, “It’s really worth seeing such a fairy poem in this life!”

Another man had gray hair and wrinkles on his face, but his temperament was as tall as pine and cypress.

He also agreed with his colleagues, "Your Majesty, can you consider making the exception to let Prince Yu enter our Hanlin Academy? I believe that with his talent and the wisdom of the gods, he will definitely inspire our younger generation of Jinshi, thus creating a good atmosphere of chasing each other."

"Mohe, you're so hard." Jing Hedi smiled slightly, "I can't change the system of the ancestors, nor can I open this hole."

"Oh, that's really a waste!" the man shook his head.

The middle-aged man with black beard retorted, "Brother Mohe, there is nothing wasteful. Can't Prince Yu contribute his intelligence without entering the Hanlin Academy? How did our upper and lower case numbers and double bookkeeping methods come from? How did soap appear?"

Jing Hedi laughed when he heard this, "Yes! Qinggu is right. With me here, all Mingqi's inventions will shine and heat up for our Dakang...including the cake and iced milk tea you just ate."

Speaking of this, the two important officials blushed. It was obvious that they had the first time eating and drinking such delicious food, and their appearance was not very elegant.

The middle-aged man with black beard is named Zhong Chang, whose courtesy name is Qinggu. He was 49 years old this year. At the age of 18, he became the top scorer in the palace examination year before Emperor Jinghe ascended the throne. After decades, he has stood in the position of deputy prime minister of the second rank, and has taken the position of Minister of Guards, and is also a Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace.

Zhong Chang was the emperor's absolute confidant, with great power, and was also known as the most popular candidate for the real next prime minister.

However, he is also the busiest among the four chief and deputy prime ministers now, because his job is to coordinate with the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Rites on weekdays. Things are so complicated that it is unimaginable. On average, you have to be busy for at least five hours a day, and you have been persisting for more than ten years.

The court was both inside and outside the court that if Zhong Chang could survive this and make the emperor completely satisfied, then within three to five years, he would definitely take over as prime minister and become the first person in the court, with only one person and ten thousand people.

Another man with gray hair and wrinkles was named Feng Yuqiang, whose courtesy name was Mohe, and was actually two years younger than Zhong Chang.

Feng Yuqiang was a bachelor of the second-rank Hanlin Academy and a grandson of Wenyuan Pavilion, the boss of the Hanlin Academy. He was decisive in killing and was a very important think tank for the emperor.

The Hanlin Academy is not just a place to raise "princestors". The emperor gave lectures, served as attendants for the prince, compiled books, translated documents, and presided over the imperial examinations.

It goes without saying that you should give lectures to the emperor. The master of the priest has a very noble status and cannot take responsibility without a respected scholar.

It is not easy to be a attendant for the prince. For example, Zhang Juzheng was a Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy. He was unable to make a name for him and got a chance to be an attendant for King Yu. King Yu was the only son of Emperor Jiajing and later Emperor Muzong of the Ming Dynasty.

With this relationship, Zhang Juzheng was able to become the chief minister and control all the government affairs of the first ten years of Wanli.

It would be even more amazing to preside over the imperial examinations, and it was completely dreamt of adults in the court.

Just one presided over an imperial examination is a huge capital.

Because all the admitted students in the class you presided over will become your "disciple", and you are their "teacher", which is equivalent to being the father in the court.

There are six imperial examinations like this.

Three times of taking the scholar exam: county examination, government examination, and college (road) examination.

Only after passing the scholar’s ​​examination can one have the later provincial examinations, imperial examinations, and palace examinations.

The so-called "three-in-one and the grade" refers to the three most important exams in the next world. There are many such people in the history of another world.

However, there are only two people who can have the "six yuan pass" in another world. If you have to calculate strictly, there are only Huang Guan of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Qian Qi from the Qing Dynasty also won six yuan, after he was admitted to the scholar at the age of 28, he had to wait until he was 45 to take the exam to the "big three yuan".

Unlike Huang Guan, who continued to take the exam in one go, won six consecutive yuan, achieving an unprecedented achievement.

Come back to your eyes.

Among the six yuan, there can be a teacher who presided over the exam for each yuan, and the candidates are all their disciples. The last one is in the Golden Palace, so the emperor is the master of the Jinshi, and the Jinshi can also be called "son of the emperor".

But for those who preside over the imperial examination, the most important thing is the examination.

Because once you pass the imperial examination, you will become a tribute, and everyone can become a formal official of the court.

Think about it, if these people grow up in the future and become middle and senior officials of the court, will they have great help to you as a teacher?

The chief minister of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet was basically supported by a large number of disciples, including Zhang Juzheng. Without his disciples, how could his reform be implemented?

For more than 20 years of official service, Feng Yuqiang has presided over two sessions of examinations, with his disciples and former officials all over the court. If he hadn't been a noble person and was unwilling to be the Secretary of the Six Ministers or Prime Ministers, he would probably have a greater power than that of today's Prime Minister Cao Yi.

Being capable and loyal enough doesn't like to take power. It's hard for the emperor to not like such a minister.

...

After putting down the paper handed back, Jing and Di began to continue talking to them again.

"After the floods of the three provinces, I want the Cao Transportation Office, the Salt Administration Office and the two major weaving institutions to directly escort money and grain to rescue the disaster. What do you think?" Emperor Jinghe asked.

The salt administration naturally collects salt taxes. In addition to transporting grain, the canal transport also collects taxes through checkpoints. With the prosperity of the canal transport trade, the money is very considerable, accounting for about one-eighth of the imperial court's heavy taxes.

Both yamen have intercepted some of the money for daily repairs, sorting, etc.

It is precisely because of this surplus money that the emperor and the court would ask them more or less for some as long as they had no money.

So far, few people have dared to say that they have never given it.

Anyone who dared to say this was taken back to Beijing by the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He found out all the dirty things and then beheaded and showed them to the public, without any tolerance.

The 400-mile emergency document received this afternoon, Yunmengze, the Yangtze River, flooded again. The three provinces of Lianghu and Jiangxi were seriously affected. The number of people affected was no less than 300,000, and more than 100,000 people were forced to be displaced and urgently needed help from the court.

The two major rivers of the Dakang Dynasty are the same as the other world, namely the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

Similarly, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are often flooded, causing many disasters.

The most important thing is around Yunmengze. It will not be happy if there is no small disaster every three or five years, and if there is no major disaster every ten or eight years.

All dynasties have paid great attention to such large-scale natural disasters, because if one is not good, it will lead to huge disasters, peasant uprisings will sweep the entire country, and eventually cause the empire to collapse.

Otherwise, why do you think every dynasty and every generation have to actively provide disaster relief?

Why do you have to keep some bran for the victims to eat when you are so greedy for money with adults?

Of course, Jing from the Dakang Dynasty was different from the emperor. He was kind-hearted and often used his own treasury money to provide disaster relief when he encountered difficulties in the court.

"Cache Transportation Office? Salt Government Office? Jiangning Weaving? Suzhou Weaving?" Feng Yuqiang snorted coldly when he heard this, "Your Majesty, these yamen are not honest. If you want them to send money and grain to provide disaster relief, they can report ten times the loss to the court! At that time, the money and grain will be consumed, and more corrupt officials will be fattened."

Emperor Jing He was a little embarrassed, "It's not that serious, they also have their own difficulties... Over the years, the court's taxes, food and other burdens have been levied on them, and they have also levyed additional funds from time to time, which is not easy for them!"

The problems of canal transportation, salt administration and weaving are definitely not a day or two, and even this was the case in several dynasties before.

But no dynasty has completely solved this solution.

Usually it is like cutting leeks, and new growth comes out after cutting.

The same was true for the Great Kang Dynasty, but because it had only been 80 years since the country was established, the contradictions were not so prominent.

Besides, the current Governor of the Grain Transport Lin Zhenyuan, the Salt Administration Minister Bai Hengwang, the Jiangning Weaving Su Maohui, and the Suzhou Weaving Shi Songye were all confidants of Emperor Jing He for many years. He believed that these people had done their best.

Compared to Feng Yuqiang, Zhong Chang, who has been running around for many years, is more pragmatic.

"Your Majesty, I think it's enough to let them each pay some money." Zhong Chang said, "If you want to provide disaster relief, you should rely on the granary in the fertile land of Jiangnan to raise food and various materials.

Liu Renhuai, the current governor of Jiangnan, has a strong personality and is upright. In order to govern the capable ministers and generals in the local area, he can only solve the problem as soon as possible."

Liu Renhuai won the first prize in Jing and Enke at the age of fifteen. He was the emperor's first disciple. He was able to firmly be the most fertile governor of Jiangnan, the most fertile governor among the six governors, and also demonstrated his ability.

The two lakes were originally large grain producers, but their annual output was supplied to the three northwest provinces, plus one Guangxi. No matter how much grain was, there was no surplus every year, so the disaster resistance was very weak.

In addition, in the past five years, the Two Lakes Basin has suffered consecutive disasters, and the only food stored in it has been consumed.

This is different from Jiangnan. Jiangnan has not suffered any disasters in recent years. It has been in good weather and has been supplying the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong in a continuous manner, which has no pressure on them at all and still has a lot of grain reserves.

Zhong Chang mentioned Liu Renhuai, and Jing Hedi smiled, "Younger is loyal and dedicated, the taxes in the Jiangnan region increase every year, and the people live and work in peace and contentment are indeed a good candidate to solve the problem."

"Then let the grain transportation, salt administration and weaving each produce 500,000 taels of silver, and immediately deliver it to the Governor of Jiangnan. The Governor of Jiangnan Liu Renhuai will pay another one million taels of silver, totaling 2.5 million taels to purchase various materials, and then open warehouses and release grain, and transport them to the disaster area by water." Feng Yuqiang suggested.

"Will they pay 500,000 taels be too heavy? Besides, there were droughts, floods and typhoons in the past few years, Mohe made them suffer a few blood." Jing Hedi hesitated a little.

"With their ability to make money, this is no problem at all. Can't they eat meat at all and not let them exert some effort?" Feng Yuqiang snorted coldly.

Zhong Chang next to him also nodded repeatedly.

The water in these yamen was extremely deep, and ordering them to spend extra money was also considered a constant blow to them.

In fact, according to his understanding, it is probably no problem to ask several yamen to pay 500,000 taels of silver each.

Seeing that both of them had such an opinion, Jing and Emperor thought about it, but could only agree.

On the one hand, there are several important yamen, and on the other hand, there are hundreds of thousands of disaster victims. Of course, he has to prefer the larger party.

Feng Yuqiang continued to suggest: "Liu Shaoling cannot go out of the south of the Yangtze River, and disaster relief cannot be entirely dependent on local people. General Tang Hui, Longtengwei, was loyal, patriotic, fair and honest. I recommend him to be responsible for the distribution of grain and reconstruction supervision work in the disaster area, which will definitely suppress many unscrupulous officials."

"Can."

Jing Hedi agreed readily.

...

Note: In ancient times, Yunmeng Ze was very large. It was about the current Honghu and Dongting Lake, which was several times larger than the sum of these two lakes. Now, the place where Dakang Dynasty is also Yunmeng Ze.

The Dakang Dynasty ancestral system, the Governor of the Grain Transportation was in the second rank, and the Governor's Office was located in Huai'an; the Salt Administration Minister was in the second rank, and the Salt Administration Organ was located in Yangzhou. These two places were also fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, and were as prosperous as a brocade.

The Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau of the previous dynasty was severely corrupt because of its great power, so it was divided into Jiangning Weaving and Suzhou Weaving. It was divided and governed, and it supervised and competed with each other. The chief weaving ministers were all third ranks.

In addition, not all the teachers and disciples are like father and son. For example, Zhang Juzheng was impeached by his disciples when he reformed, and more than one of them made him smile bitterly. In the two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he was impeached by his disciples. I am the first person, which is extremely shameful!
