cabinet.

A trace of contempt flashed through Zhang Juzheng's eyes.

It’s not that he looks down on those who take advantage of the opportunists.

What Zhang Juzheng disdained was that these opportunistic people dared to attack the Tang Empire?

"Sir, how should these people be dealt with?" Yang Qinglin looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked tentatively.

“How to deal with it?”

Zhang Juzheng said calmly: "Your Majesty said in the court that all impersonators, once they are verified, they will be dealt with directly in accordance with the law, and will never be spared!"

Zhang Juzheng knew very well that he could not let these opportunists go.

Otherwise, once this trend spreads, other people realize that they will not be as intense as others' words when they work hard for a year.

Finally, it triggers civil unrest

People are not worried about lack of weight but are not equal.

As the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng understands human nature very well.

When Yang Qinglin heard Zhang Juzheng's decision, he looked solemn and immediately said, "I'll go and arrange it now."

Yang Qinglin turned around and left, conveying the emperor's meaning to the local counties

Shu.

After experiencing a once-in-a-century drought, even though the court provided disaster relief and the emperor exempted Shu from taxes for five years, Shu was still very difficult.

The disaster relief from the court can only ensure that the people cannot starve to death.

As for whether you can eat enough or not, it is not something that the people can choose.

The drought has dried up the land in Shu to the extreme.

Even if you plant such a land, you will not live for a few days, let alone expecting harvest

Zhou Sheng is a farmer in Shu.

Compared with other ordinary farmers, Zhou Sheng has a secret.

Zhou Sheng found that if their pollen is exchanged between different grains, a brand new grain will be cultivated.

Most of this new food has no effect.

But very few have a kind of output that far exceeds ordinary food

After Zhou Sheng discovered this secret, he did not dare to tell others.

Although Zhou Sheng was a farmer and didn't know a few words, he also knew the reason why it was guilty of possessing a treasure.

Therefore, Zhou Sheng never showed any special features.

At most, you just stockpile the excess grain in the ground kiln at home.

During drought.

Zhou Sheng barely survived with the grain in the ground kiln.

However.

After the drought, Zhou Sheng was worried.

The grain stockpiled in the earth kiln had long been eaten by Zhou Sheng.

The court had too little food for disaster relief, and Zhou Sheng couldn't eat enough.

As for replanting food

With the current land in Shu, the grain cannot be planted at all.

Although Zhou Sheng retained the seeds of those special grains, he was unwilling to eat them.

For farmers, the remaining grain is more important than life

Zhou Sheng was hanging out hungry.

By chance, Zhou Sheng heard people in the village say that the court was recruiting some special talents and used half a tael of silver per month as salary.

Half a tael of silver?

Zhou Sheng's ears suddenly stood up.

Half a tael of silver per month, this is already a very high salary.

Moreover, these silvers were issued by the court.

Unhindered by wind and rain, and ensure harvests in drought and flood.

Much more stable than farming

What's more, those people also said that half a tael per month is just the lowest level

only

The talents recruited by the court should have nothing to do with him, right?

Zhou Sheng is just a farmer and doesn’t even know his words, so how could he be selected?

Although Zhou Sheng was disappointed, he still listened carefully for a while.

Finally, Zhou Sheng discovered that the talents recruited by the court seemed to have nothing to do with whether they could read or not.

As long as you have the ability that others do not have, you can sign up.

"What other people don't have?"

Zhou Sheng fell into thinking.

Don't know if farming counts?

Although Zhou Sheng was nervous, he decided to give it a try.

It's a pity.

Zhou Sheng was not selected in the end.

The reason is that the local quota is full

It is naturally impossible for the imperial court to recruit talents without restrictions.

There is a certain amount in every place.

Stop calling once it is full.

If this is true, although Zhou Sheng was disappointed, he had no other ideas.

Who told him to come late?

But what made Zhou Sheng angry was that the reason why the quota was full was because someone lies and took up a quota.

There are many rogues who, in order to get a monthly salary of half a tael, lied that they have a skill.

Zhou Sheng was very unwilling to accept this, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Those rascals are all in groups. If he dares to report to the court, he will probably have no good results when he waits.

Those proud rogues appeared in Zhou Sheng's mind and could only return home in disappointment.

Zhou Sheng never expected that he would lose to a group of rascals

After Li Si went to court, he did not return to the Palace of Eternal Life, but went to Baihua Pavilion.

When Mu Mu heard the news, he immediately took the maid and eunuch, waiting early to greet him outside Baihua Pavilion.

The atmosphere in Baihua Pavilion is a bit low.

Since the emperor appointed Song Xian'er as "Zhaorong", the palace maids and eunuchs in the harem vaguely felt that Mu Mu had "fallen out of favor".

The position of "Zhaorong" is already above "Jieyu".

In addition, Song Xian'er is pregnant with Long Si, and the background of the Lingnan Song family.

It can be said that no matter what aspect, Mu Mu was suppressed by Song Xian'er.

In the harem, people were unpredictable and everyone pushed them.

Even if Song Xian'er wanted to suppress these rumors, it would be useless.

Mu Mu had no expression.

Stay quietly in Baihua Pavilion.

Mu Mu never thought of fighting for the position of the lord of the harem.

Mu Mu's greatest hope is to spend more time with His Majesty.

As for the rumors in the palace, Mu Mu never cared about them.

"Your Majesty is here."

The eunuch's voice rang outside Baihua Pavilion.
