An autumn rain and a cold, the weather in Beijing is getting colder and colder, and winter is about to come.
More than half of the second year of Zhengxing, the situation became increasingly incomprehensible, both in the court and among the people.
First of all, there were many new faces in the court, speaking with different accents. They had no qualifications, but they jumped several levels in succession. Some were even promoted directly from the local magistrate to the position of doctor or even minister. They were all from outside the country.
Originally, many veterans were full of complaints, but after Qianqiying completely intervened in the capital inspection, they stopped complaining, fearing that they would not be able to protect themselves.
However, after some time, these officials in the capital felt something was wrong. They felt that Huang Laosi and Chu Qing, a bastard, might try to trick these officials from out of town.
After all, they are both from aristocratic families, and they all come from aristocratic families. The guy from the middle of the capital found the guy from the outside. The general meaning is, buddy, be careful. You may not know it when you first come here. Huang Laosi and Chu Qing, these two shameless things, are so shameless.
Bad.
They are good words, but it’s a pity that the foreigners don’t believe them. What do you mean? What the hell are you talking about? Why, what are you doing? Seeing us foreigners snatching your official positions in Beijing, you should feel uncomfortable, right?
, You are such a fool, you fool, stop making noise like this.
Honglu Temple has also recruited hundreds of officials, who are very busy and busy every day because one after another Liangrong delegations enter the capital.
These Liangren, who were nominally missionaries but actually looked nothing like missionaries, went to the capital to spend a lot of money to beg for a son.
The eldest prince Alepeng has completely turned into a human flesh seeder without emotions. He is getting thinner and thinner. Now his waist may not be as sharp as Chu Qing's. At least Chu Qing can walk, jump and walk wolves. Alepeng
I just lie in bed day after day, as if I'm dead in bed.
If a Liangren woman is pregnant and cannot leave immediately, the child must also stay in Beijing after giving birth. After all, the child has just been born and cannot be separated immediately. Alepeng's feelings must be taken into consideration.
But our Dachang Dynasty cannot help you Liang Rongbai raise your children. We must not hire wet nurses or servants. In the future, we must not have a group of sour scholars who are proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics... Confucians and celebrities, please teach your children our Han culture.
These all cost money. If you don't have money, no problem, just give it to cattle and sheep. Whatever you want, you can get it.
The Yingguo envoy also came, carrying the equivalent amount of silver. They sincerely and humbly admitted their mistakes to the monarchs and ministers, swore and swore that they would rectify the pirates in the future, and let out a lot of tasteless farts. They had face, lizi, and Dachang Dynasty.
Already.
As for the private sector, mainly outside the city, there are more and more workshops, and there are more and more various breeding farms. The southern suburbs of Zhuangzi have expanded again and again, and have exceeded the land limit of Chuqing County, and road construction is even more demanding.
They even visited the surrounding counties, but no one said anything and pretended not to see it.
Because everyone has discovered one thing. Since the completion of Nanjiao Zhuangzi, there has been no news about the refugees in the capital. Those people from Nanjiao Zhuangzi are like bandits. Whenever refugees come, they have not yet put on a pose and cried.
They were all taken away, as if they were robbing someone.
In addition to intervening in the capital inspection, Qianqiying also began to rectify merchants and give them a voice, but restricted their commercial development. While gaining rights, they also had to assume more obligations. Three lower counties have opened academies for poor families.
Business taxes are also increasing.
The scientific examination was finally over. There were more than 400 people on the list. Qianqiying checked them one by one. In the end, there were only more than 80 people left. Cao Wu, the Minister of Rites, and the officials below were detained from half a year to three years.
of salary.
But then, the official land listed in the Ministry of Household Affairs decreased a lot, and the number of more than 80 people on the list increased to more than 400 people, but most of them were assigned to Qingshui Yamen.
At this time, Chu Qing was sitting in the Jingyi Hall, and Fu San was holding a copy of Changlu. The fourth had just finished approving a memorial.
Lifting his head, the fourth child looked unhappy: "Can you stop rubbing your waist?"
Chu Qing, who was rubbing his waist, said angrily: "My muscles and bones have been broken for a hundred days. Do you think I want to rub it? I should get half of the million pounds given by the thief."
"wishful thinking."
The fourth child is happy again. As long as he can get money, he will be happy.
When money was mentioned, Lao Si's eyes lit up again: "A few days ago, a military report came to the border. There are too many horses. If you want to sell them to the court, how much can they be sold for?"
"Brother, before you think about money, can you first think about the border troops. The border troops have begun to lead some second- and fifth-grade grassland men under the leadership of Marshal Ma Rujing to raid peripheral tribes on a small scale on the grassland. They are all
It’s the end of the year soon for the military who have worked so hard and so hard, why don’t we just commend them with awards and commendations?”
"That's a good thing." The fourth child showed a serious expression: "The border troops have indeed suffered too much, so what do you say, how to reward and commend them."
"As the saying goes, if the train runs fast, it will be good for him or me. First of all, Marshal Ma and the generals and deputy generals of the six battalions will definitely be rewarded."
"What is a train?"
"It's nothing. It's something that can only be seen in dreams. The generals and generals, and secondly, mainly the grassroots military units. These military units have border protection offices. Although they can ensure that they will enjoy the treatment they deserve after joining the army, the court has never
Nodding, the border is not a place outside the law. We must abide by the laws of Dachang. There are laws to follow. Just relying on the various welfare benefits within Wangyuan City still feels a bit unreliable, and Dachang Dynasty is not the only one.
The border army and other military units cannot enjoy this kind of welfare benefits, so we have to have a bowl of water."
"Yes, military matters should be written into the law."
The fourth child looked at Fu San, "Has Xin Lv been able to cultivate his skills?"
Today, when Chu Qing came to the palace to meet the emperor, he raised the issue of the new laws. The emperor and his ministers had been urging him for a long time, especially Zhai Xiu, the Minister of Punishment.
No, how can we not be in a hurry.
You must know that the Chang Law is not finished after being revised. It needs to issue political orders, and it also needs to be in charge of the Ministry of Punishment. The implementation of political orders requires an extremely slow process. The longer the delay, the more troubles there will be. Many aristocratic families and courtiers have already begun to discuss it.
There are many speculations as to whether this new law was created by Chu Qing specifically to target the aristocratic family.
Today Chu Qing brought Fu San into the palace, and they were talking about this, about the new laws.
"When I reply to Your Majesty, I have some clues. The young master said that I should report it to you first."
The fourth brother still attached great importance to the third brother and nodded: "It's just what you say."
"Every country in the world has its own government, and the army's food, salary, and salary should be increased by at least 70%."
"What?!"
Huang Laosi suddenly changed his expression and blurted out: "What a bastard! Don't say an increase of 70%, it is 30%. How will the national treasury bear the burden? What nonsense!"
"You ate the kidneys of a live wild donkey, why are you so irritable?" Chu Qing said angrily: "Listen to what the third brother has to say."
The fourth child lost his temper: "Don't call him third brother in front of me."
"What, what's bothering you?"
The fourth child was too lazy to explain.
Chu Qing always calls him third brother, third brother, because it reminds him of the real third brother Chang Chengke, and secondly, he is somewhat used to it. When he mentioned Changlu a few days ago, he even asked Sun An, "Third Brother"
So how was Chang's law practice? Sun An didn't react at the time. When did Chang Chengke start practicing Chang's law?
Isn't this nonsense? The emperor calls a county boy "third brother".
It is worth mentioning that Fu San was also knighted. He was on the same level as the county magistrate and Chu Qing, but had no official position. Qin Gang wanted his third brother to go to the Ministry of War to become a general, but if his third brother refused to go, Chu Qing would not let him go.
In addition to Fu San, Qin Gang, the shameless old man, also wanted Fu Baobao and Fu Yongkang, including Lin Kui. Anyway, after walking around Qianqi Camp for a few times, he wanted everyone except Xiao Yi. Of course, he didn't want anyone.
With him, except Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi didn't have any dreams in his life. He only cared about one thing, getting promoted and doing meritorious service to protect his father. Anyway, he was the captain of Fengche in the border army. If he was promoted to the Ministry of War, he could still get half a rank. Unfortunately, Qin Gang didn't want him. He was too dissatisfied.
Too unlucky.
"Don't pay attention to him, third brother, you continue talking."
Fu San was quite sincere. He glanced at Lao Si and continued: "Your Majesty, I dare to say something treasonous and unethical. I hope Your Majesty will not blame you."
As soon as he heard the beginning, the fourth child knew that this bastard was definitely going to pierce his heart.
"If I were to blame, how could you survive today? Stop talking nonsense."
Fu San cleared his throat and prepared to perform.
That's right, he's here to prick your heart today, specializing in various models of Laosi.
