Chapter 481 Burning eyebrows
Wang Daoyun and Jin Bao grandson all wondered when the quarrels were heard. After all, Wang Daoguan was choking Wang Fulin should have come back from Nanjing. Feng Chendu just came back from the north, so how could he quarrel with the younger generation like this?
After Wang Daoguan and Wang Daohui returned to his hometown to attend Wang Fulin's wedding last year, they rushed north to meet with Wang Daokun. Now that officials have taken office, the county magistrate will most likely hire one or two divisions. However, because the governor is a commander, there is no one with half of his subordinates, and they will even bring a bunch of aides. For example, Wang Daokun, who left the governor of Huguang and became the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, would of course not use the staff who were in charge of local affairs. While giving generous gifts to others, they naturally had to bring two younger brothers of the same generation to practice.
Therefore, Mr. Wang Er, who was once unrestrained and unruly, has been in the north for nearly a year. His fair face once looked much thicker and black, and there were many traces of wind and frost on his body. At this moment, he stood in the front yard. When he saw Wang Fulin, he couldn't help but slapped him hard on the shoulder: "You kid's life is still a comfortable life. Hongxiu Tianxiang is studying for a year. After Xiaocheng graduates, he will pass the exam again. This time, he won't want to enjoy the happiness in Huizhou. When he gets home, he will go to the capital with me."
Just now, when he came back from Nanjing, he was blocked by someone at the door of his house. Without saying a word, he pulled him to Beijing. Wang Fulin felt that this was so angering that both people and gods were angry. He immediately retorted: "Second Master, you are also a person who has passed the exam. Why did Hongxiu Tianxiang study hard? After arriving in Nanjing, it will be a mess. Don't say that you are less than the one who creates momentum. I just want to be busy with this and that. Then I went to Nanjing City Yinzhuang Piao and the escort agency to go together. Finally, I came home. Now I haven't even drunk a sip of water and urged me to leave again? Is this human nature?"
"No human nature. Who made you a kid more capable, and those who are capable are more laborious." Wang Daoguan laughed with confidence. Behind Wang Fulin, Xiaobei was sneaking into the hall with his mother Yan and Bizhu, and he ignored it. But when he found a young man in his early thirties holding his hands and smiling and watching the fun, he realized that he was just joking about the boy. He ignored it for a moment. He immediately put on a serious look and left Wang Fulin forward and bowed, "Is the Zun Jia a friend brought back from Nanjing? This lazy boy would not recommend it."
Zhu Zongji and Wang Fulin have only known each other for a few days, and they don’t meet many times. They are just a little confused about the future he is destined to enter the Imperial Hospital, so they sneak out for a walk, not to mention that this is the first time he has come to Huizhou Prefecture. I didn’t expect that the Wang family of Songmingshan, who is also a little famous, will have such a situation. He, as an outsider, naturally finds it interesting to see that Wang Daoguan has turned to him, and then he coughed gently, then turned sideways, showing that the other person who came to the gate was neither going back nor retreating nor another person.
"Zhu Zongji, who is just a casual meal in Linhuai, followed Brother Wang to Huizhou for a walk. Nothing is important. However, Brother Jiang, who is behind, is Jinke Jie Yuanlang. Since he has arrived in the capital, he insisted on visiting the elders of Brother Wang's family and going home. I think he can meet the famous Mr. Zhongyan again. I feel very happy."
Wang Daoguan then realized that there was indeed a slightly thin young man at the gate. The other person's face was full of embarrassment. When he came forward to bow and greet him for a long time, he didn't say a few words. Master Wang was famous in one prefecture and six counties in Huizhou. He was far from saying good words like Wang Daohui. If someone saw the scene of verbal disputes with his nephew today, he would be fine, but if he was seen by the new Jie Yuan, he would inevitably be a little unnatural. He beat Jiang Wenming up and said a few words in the scene. He immediately sent a messenger Wang Fulin to lead the person inside to see Wang Daoyun. Then he looked at Zhu Zongji.
"I remembered it. Are you the Xinglin national player Mr. Zhu whom Marquis Linhuai planned to write a letter to recommend?" Wang Daoguan suddenly realized and closed his palms, then thought of what Wang Fulin said just now. He laughed, "It's really unpredictable that my Qianliju of Wang's family can have a relationship with the Linhuai Marquis. That kid didn't have any accurate words. I'm sorry Mr. Zhu told me?"
Since Wang Daoguan was attracted by Zhu Zongji, Wang Fulin was so happy that he didn't have to deal with this second master Wang, so he had to take Jiang Wenming to see his father. Wang Daoyun, who was almost forty, was still a scholar, didn't expect that Wang Fulin would bring back Jie Yuanlang. At first, the anger that Wang Fulin dared to quarrel with his elder Wang Daoguan was thrown into Java, with a polite look on his face. In the private words of Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei, it was only when my brother was holding a marriage, and he was not so happy even when the news of his brother passing the imperial examination came.
Of course, Wang Fulin knew why his father was happy. Wang Daoyun and Wang Daokun and his brothers were different. Although he had also gone through the business, he always felt that the business lintel was not the best. Now Wang Fulin has a noble Jie Yuan friend, and his joy is particularly different. When Wang Daoguan brought Zhu Zongji in and introduced this person, Wang Daoyun was even more surprised.
If you don’t be a good minister, you will be a good doctor. This value is the most highly praised among scholars and scholars. It is much more elegant than the Xin'an people who are not successful in the imperial examination.
In this way, Wang Daoguan was deliberately waiting for the rabbit, but when Wang Fulin came back, he wanted to say something serious, but he still couldn't have the chance to say it. Fortunately, Jiang Wenming had been away from home for too long and had to go to the capital city to pay homage to his uncle and promised to visit him again in the future. Wang Fulin planned to take this opportunity to quickly sneak to meet Ye Dapao, his father-in-law, and immediately proposed to send him off. Wang Daoguan made a quick decision to leave together. Although Wang Daoyun was regretful, he could only temporarily rest and send him out. When the group entered the Desheng Gate between the county and the capital city, Jiang Wenming said goodbye and went first, and Wang Daoguan grabbed the reins of Wang Fulin's mount.
At this moment, there were no idle people waiting around, and Wang Fulin asked bluntly: "Uncle, I'm just eighteen after the New Year. Even if I finally got a Juren exam now, I'm probably going to be in the 19th of 100% next year. Even if I was lucky enough to get a third-level senior and Jinshi, it would be too early to share anything with my uncle Mr. Nanming. Uncle should have just returned to the capital. Why are you so anxious to send me to the capital?"
"If you only have experience, it doesn't matter if you go two days earlier or two days later. But..." Wang Daoguan paused for a moment, and then said in a very bitter tone, "Yuanfu Zhang Ge, the master, is making drastic moves, and he should be able to implement the test method in the whole world in the next two months."
Wang Fulin couldn't help but be stunned. The test method is almost called Zhang Juzheng's reform measures in later generations. Why do Wang Daoguan thinks it is like a beast now? But when he thought about it, he understood that officials have been used to being slow and shirked by things these days. It is not surprising that they suddenly face a dose of fierce medicine. Wang Daokun is the Minister of War, and outsiders call him the Young Sima. Although it is not as complicated as the Ministry of Personnel's civil servants' assessment, the military officer evaluation of the Military Selection Department is also very important, and perhaps this is how it is shocked.
Wang Daoguan slowly rode forward. After he followed, he continued to say in a deep voice: "According to the examination method, the six ministries and the Censorate of the Ministry will list the matters to which officials should be handled, and by the end of the year, they will be verified according to the matters to be handled one by one, and use this as an evaluation. Although the elder brother thinks that doing this is too strict, it is a good way to refresh the administration of officials. Compared with the rules and regulations of the tall beard in the past, it is also more effective. But the problem is not the center, but the place. Do you know, what is the focus of the examination method for local officials?"
Regarding Zhang Juzheng's new policies, Wang Fulin only remembers that the biggest impact on the local area was that the whole country measured the land. In order to please the chief minister, many officials sent to do some work on measuring tools and to increase the tax amount and exaggerate the number of land acres. Some of these exaggerated land acres were of course unlucky for the big land acres, but a large majority fell on the rise and fall of the common people. The real gentry and large households were not affected much. However, many places in the southeast and Fujian have implemented various new tax policies similar to the one-whip, but the measurement of land has not yet begun. He really doesn't know the impact of the test on local officials.
Wang Daoguan's tone was really too serious. He immediately asked: "Where is the focus? Is it in tax service? But wasn't it the same before?"
"In the past, if the local officials could find legitimate reasons, they would have accumulated owes. But now, if the local officials were able to collect taxes every year, they would have to exceed 90%. Otherwise, the most important thing to be demoted is not just this. In the past, the owed taxes have been owed. After a long time, the court would have no choice but to re-count the taxes. However, according to the new owed taxes, the taxes are re-counted. When the summer tax and autumn grain are collected every year, they will be re-counted according to the re-counted figures, which means that no matter what means you use, you must collect them. It will be limited to ten years, and the taxes will be paid. Before the prefecture and county magistrates leave office, those who are not clear in taxes and labor shall not be promoted..."
Perhaps because Wang Daokun and Zhang Juzheng have a good relationship at this moment, Wang Daokun was very clear about the rules of the test, and Wang Fulin was so angry that he heard it. Of course, he knew that the accumulated problems are already deep, and if Zhang Juzheng wanted to repair the sky with one hand, he had to use thunder means. However, such thunder means fell from the court to the grassroots level, it seemed that the county magistrate and prefect were under great pressure. But from another perspective, isn’t it that the common people bear the thunder? Not to mention anything else, unless it is a real master with a backbone that is not bend, how many people dare to aim the butcher knife of the imperial court at the huge house of the gentry in the countryside, isn’t it that the people are suffering?
Wang Fulin quickly adjusted his mood, raised his eyebrows and asked, "It can be implemented as a test. It is the right thing for uncle to worry about the country and the people. What can I help?"
