Chapter 190 189 Tear open the breakthrough of the sea ban

At this time, Wei Guangde's shortcomings of his lack of officialdom were exposed. He didn't know who to ask about the news in the court.

Previously, Wei Guangde made a plan after the results of the imperial examination were released, and he began to actively move with the Yan family as soon as the palace examination rankings came out. He spent money when he needed it. In short, it was to give himself a better background.

However, after winning the pass in the palace examination, Wei Guangde became a little uncertain.

Although Wei Guangde still went to the Yan family after receiving the message from the Yan family, it was all a polite visit, which was completely different from what he thought before.

He didn't think about giving him hundreds or thousands of taels of silver to his own position, because Wei Guangde knew that the ranking of the second-tier first place was certain to stay in Beijing, and he would still consider it after the court took the imperial examination before he considered it.

Now go to Yan’s house to inquire?

Stop funny. Wei Guangde didn't want to have too much connection with the Yan family at the beginning, not to mention that he knew that day that the Yan family seemed to be a force that firmly supported the transformation of rice and mulberry seeds.

What I want to do now is contrary to their purpose. I really want to go and ask, what should I say then?

Wei Guangde doesn't want to be embarrassed in the future. The best way is to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Even if he does it himself, the Yan family will definitely know.

Well, the only person Wei Guangde can still speak now should be able to know the trends of the court. It seems that the only one who is the current Hanlin Academy, his immediate superior Yin Tai.

Wei Guangde looked at the sky. It was already afternoon, and he didn't know if Yin Zhangyuan was working in the yard now.

Wei Guangde came to the door of the public room of the Palm Courtyard. Sure enough, he saw that the door was closed.

Wei Guangde asked the clerk in front of the door and found out that Yin Tai had been here in the morning and left before noon.

Calculate the time, and it is almost the same as when Zhang Ji came to inform him at noon. He should leave the Hanlin Academy to do his own business.

Yes, Wei Guangde has arrangements today, that is, to sign a house purchase contract with the owner of Nanxunfang yard and the Yashang people, and then go to Shuntian Mansion to file a record.

Wei Guangde had no choice but to make up his mind and come to ask Yin Zhangyuan tomorrow morning to see if he could understand the situation.

I told the clerk what I wanted to come, of course I wouldn't say I was here to ask for advice on the court, but I just said I wanted to take a half-day leave.

The clerk smiled and said, "Mr. Wei will leave now. I will come here tomorrow and say that I can make up for the leave with the Lord of the Parliament."

It turned out that because Yin Tai was working as a errand in the Hanlin Courtyard, he had an explanation to the rest of the courtyard that he would come here in the morning and that he would not be there in the afternoon.

Of course, I don’t know about a newcomer like Wei Guangde.

However, the clerk knew that Yin Zhangyuan was a reasonable person, and Wei Guangde came here to ask for leave. Then he could just see Yin Zhangyuan tomorrow morning and talk. Wei Guangde came to make up for the leave at that time, and I think Yin Zhangyuan would not say anything.

In this way, Wei Guangde left the Hanlin Academy gate and got off work early.

When he walked out of the gate, he saw the carriage headed by Li San opposite him. At this time, he was standing on the side of the road with Zhang Ji and talking. When he saw Wei Guangde going out, he immediately called Zhang Ji, followed Wei Guangde and walked to the Nanxunfang yard.

The entire transaction process was very fast. After Wei Guangde checked it in the yard, he signed and sealed it with the forensic of Yaxing Yaren and Nanxunfang. Wei Guangde asked Li San to carry a box of silver and money, and both witnesses and Yaren signed the contract.

The owner took the money and simply handed over all the keys to the yard to Wei Guangde. The transaction between the two parties was reached.

"Mr. Wei, I will send these contracts to Daxing County Government now, and I will send the deed later."

The Daxing County Government is not in Beijing, but in the northeast of Beijing.

Speaking of which, the administrative division of capital in the Ming Dynasty is also very interesting, and the east and west axis of the Beijing city belongs to Daxing County and Wanping County respectively.

More than 20 eastern markets such as Wuyunfang, Baodafang, and Nanxunfang belong to Daxing County, while western markets such as Wanbaofang, Shiyongfang, and Fucaifang belong to Wanping County.

Wei Guangde nodded, not afraid of any trouble.

"Zhang Ji, please go with me and ask Li San to drive over, hurry up."

Now that the former landlord and the general A and others from Nanxunfang were sent away, Yaren and Zhang Ji followed him out, and Wei Guangde started to wander around the yard.

When he walked to the backyard and saw the stepping bed, Wei Guangde suddenly remembered that he had not sold anything yet.

The yard has a complete set of furniture, but obviously many daily necessities need to be replaced. You have to go to the temple to invite someone to check out the period when moving.

Wei Guangde said in a heartfelt that it seems that he can't move in in a short period of time.

However, the house has been bought, and it is a matter of time. There is also such a large yard. Wei Guangde thought about buying some servants to come back. On the one hand, he served his own daily life and was also responsible for cleaning the yard.

It seems that we have to deal with people from Yashang.

Speaking of this yarn, Yaren is quite historical. It is said that the earliest record of "Yaren" was in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was not called "Yaren" at that time, but was called "Yaren". Yaren was a name that was changed during the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like tooth, probably because he thought they were as unproductive as merchants.

However, by now, Yaren has spread all over the Ming Dynasty, so naturally Yaren has become the middleman in participating in trade transactions.

Wei Guangde felt that the function of the Maritime Mansion Department was somewhat similar to that of the dentistry, both were intermediary services and made money.

However, not everyone can do this business. The government is very strict in management of them, so Yaren and the people in the yamen are still very familiar with each other, and collusion between inside and outside often happens.

It is worth mentioning that the Ming Dynasty prohibited the sale of "population", and the servants Wei Guangde wanted to buy through Yashang were naturally not among the "population".

In fact, it has been strictly prohibited for the sale of human beings in all dynasties in China. The laws enforced by the Han Dynasty were human traffickers who abducted human traffickers. Human traffickers who had been abducted and not sold were sentenced to death, that is, they were executed and dismembered. They still participated in the sale even though they knew it was a trafficking and were guilty of the same crime as human traffickers.

The provisions of the Ming Dynasty law are to abduct a good man as a slave, and to be a slave, and to be a slave of 100, and to be a servant of 3,000 miles; to abduct a wife, concubine, and to be a descendant of 100, and to be a prisoner of 3 years; to be injured, to be wounded, and to be killed; to be killed; to be reunited with relatives; to abduct abducted person in the name of inheritance and heir, and to be a crime of the same as above

However, these laws target good people, that is, civilians with household registration, free people, and not untouchables. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty often confiscated property of criminals, and women were charged to the Jiaosifang or sold.

Wei Guangde and his friends were looking for official teeth, so they naturally planned to go through them to find servants. They did not dare to trade good people, but there were ways to adapt.

Of course, Wei Guangde was not interested, he just found a few maids who served the people, who were responsible for cleaning the backyard, and giving the front yard to Zhang Ji and Li San is enough.

But I have to wait until I move in, so I am not in a hurry now.

Later, Zhang Ji brought back the house deeds he received from Daxing County Government. This time the property purchase operation in Beijing was completed.

After locking the door, they had to live in Jiujiang Guild Hall. In the car, Wei Guangde handed the key to Zhang Ji and asked him to purchase daily necessities. He had to do it himself if he calculated the check-in time.

Early the next morning, Wei Guangde came to Hanlin Academy and planned to find Yin Zhang Academy.

But it was still early this time, and Yin Zhangyuan might not have arrived in the yard so early, so he drank tea in his public room and read books and spent a while before leaving.

When he arrived outside the public room of the Palm Courtyard, he saw that the door had opened and knew that Lord Yin should have come, so he asked the clerk at the door to go in and inform him. After getting the news inside, Wei Guangde then put on his clothes and walked in.

"Meet Yin Zhangyuan."

When Wei Guangde entered the house, he respectfully saluted Yin Tai.

"Haha, don't be so polite."

Yin Tai sat in his seat and raised his hand, signaling Wei Guangde not to salute.

"I know what you are here. If you have any trouble in the future, try to come over and talk to me in the morning."

While speaking, Yin Tai had already picked up a pen on the table and wrote a note, "You will hand this over to the doorman later, and you will store it with the Dianmao Book at that time."

Wei Guangde hurried forward, took the fake note with both hands, and couldn't help but thank him.

However, after the matter was completed, Wei Guangde did not plan to leave. After all, he had not said the important matter today.

Seeing Wei Guangde standing there, Yin Tai was just stunned and smiled: "Are you still waiting to arrange a bachelor's degree?"

Speaking of this, Yin Tai stretched out his hand and stroked his beard before saying, "In the past, most of the Shuji scholars did not arrange bachelor's guidance. They read books themselves and submitted an article every month.

I talked with several bachelors. In recent years, there has been no book preparation work in the palace and the court. Everyone has part-time jobs, so there is not much to do in the Hanlin Academy.

Last year and this year, editors Chen Sheng and Wu Qing were only promoted to bachelor's degree in the ninth year of the imperial examination. One of them was copying the transcripts of Wuzong and the other was responsible for the transcripts of Xiaozong. Whose name is suitable for?”

Wei Guangde originally wanted to ask about changing rice to plant mulberry trees, but he didn't expect Yin Tai to think he was waiting for the bachelor's teacher.

Well, I gave two choices, Wu Qing and Chen Sheng.

Wu Qingsuan was the first adult he met in the Hanlin Academy. Chen Sheng also met on the afternoon of the first day. Wei Guangde and his two thought Wu Qing seemed to be more kind, so he immediately bowed and said, "Bachelor, follow Lord Wu."

"Okay, I'll tell him later. You can also come to see him in the afternoon. If you have any questions in the future, you can find him, and of course you can also come to me."

Yin Tai nodded and said.

After finishing the matter, Yin Tai took a sip of the teacup on the table in a short time, and saw Wei Guangde still standing there, and there seemed to be something else.

"Is there anything else?"

Yin Tai asked, putting down the teacup.

Wei Guangde knew that he had to say it, and he had served tea. If he didn't say it, it would be rude. Then he bowed to Yin Tai again: "Mr. Master, the student heard that the proposal of changing rice to seeds in Zhejiang by the Ministry of Works was discussing the proposal of changing rice to seeds in Zhejiang by the Ministry of Works. I wonder if it is true?"

When Yin Tai frowned slightly when he heard Wei Guangde say this, he said, "So what?"

"The students were very frightened after hearing this."

Wei Guangde immediately said, looking at Yin Tai without any other expressions, and then continued: "The students wrote in the article that encouraged weaving and porcelain burning and other industrial and commercial developments, but the students' original intention was that the court issued policies to encourage them to produce more, reduce prices and allow more people to use them, so that the products produced naturally can be sold smoothly, and the court will have more taxes as a result.

However, I heard from the Ministry of Industry that it is recommended that a large number of mulberry trees be planted in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and even some farmland is used to plant mulberry trees. The students thought it was inappropriate."

"This, actually, before you wrote that article, someone in the court was already discussing this matter, and it had nothing to do with you. It was just that your article happened to talk about that matter."

Yin Tai nodded and said, "As for the pros and cons, the court is still discussing it. The princes naturally know the pros and cons, and they will judge the situation."

Wei Guangde heard it. Before his examination, the court seemed to have been discussing this matter. His article was just a coincidence.

It is probably because Chen Jin and the others are too low, and they later received the news, so they thought that his argument was the fuse that triggered the discussion on changing rice seeds and mulberry trees.

Although he could feel relieved, since Wei Guangde asked, he would not go back like that.

Finding out the situation and writing a memorial is also the first shot that Wei Guangde fired after entering the officialdom.

"Yin Zhangyuan, can you ask if the court has a way out for adding silk?"

"What do you ask about this?"
