Chapter One Hundred and Twenty: Grant

Emperor Tianqi slowly said that it seemed quite mysterious.

It seemed as if he had been waiting for Liu Yan and others to come early in the morning.

Liu Yan and others said, "I don't know what Zhang Baihu reported?"

They still didn't want Zhang Jingyi to be the county magistrate, and would rather call him a hundred households.

Although the level of a hundred households is higher than that of a county magistrate, the value of a county magistrate is very high.

In this era of using culture to build martial arts, if a sixth-rank military officer meets a seventh-rank civil servant, he can only perform rituals. Otherwise, if you are arrogant and domineering, you will be dead.

Emperor Tianqi said: "Zhang Jingyi begs to add the tenth rank official system to Qingpingfang."

Ten grades...

Everyone was shocked.

The imperial court's official system has always been the ninth rank. Of course, after reaching the seventh rank, it is not very popular.

Good guy, you, Zhang Jingyi, actually added another grade. What are you doing?

So everyone suddenly became excited.

"There is no such precedent. Your Majesty, if so, officials will not be overflowing."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will never agree with this matter."

"Don't worry," said Emperor Tianqi: "It's just implemented in this new county and will definitely not be fully promoted. These ten ranks are regarded as preaching officials. You must agree and agree. If you don't agree, you must also agree."

When everyone heard the sacrificial officials, their faces finally improved.

The Ming Dynasty system was very strict with the background of officials, especially civil officials. It was impossible to become an official without the imperial examination system.

Even if a nobleman is a man, he can only be granted official positions.

However, when Emperor Xianzong of Ming Dynasty, he took a different approach.

At that time, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty did not follow the procedures and favored the slander ministers. Without the imperial examination and court recommendation, he directly granted some official positions.

Since then, emperors of all dynasties will also give some priests.

However, this kind of official who was also an official on the surface, but in fact, it was almost not recognized by the official places at that time.

Of course, the people selected by the emperor still have the salary they should have, and they are also allowed to be worn by officials.

Zhang Jingyi asked to add another level of official rating, which is actually to include the former officials and the bureaucratic system.

In the past, officials were lowly officials, which were almost different from officials. Although in the eyes of officials, officials were lazy and greedy, wasn’t that the same in the hearts of officials?

We ask us to do all kinds of work. You are arrogant and read the books of sages. You don’t touch the spring water every day. You send us every day, but we don’t even have a normal salary. It would be strange if we work hard.

As a result, this formed a stubborn disease in the Ming Dynasty. Those who work in the yamen and those who are serious people are unwilling to do it, but those who are willing to do it are mostly sluts.

This little official will be a little official for the rest of his life. Who is willing to make progress and just live a life of scatter?

There are only two fangs in Xinxian County, which are different from counties like Daxing and Wancheng, which often have more than a dozen fangs. Everything has to be changed from the administration.

Emperor Tianqi didn't know whether it was good or bad about this matter, but... Since Zhang Jing wanted to do it, then support it, just a tenth-rank official. To put it bluntly, what's this?

These Hanlin and censors have been tormented these days. Now they really don’t want to and have no strength to object to anything else. They just want to go home, take a shower and change clothes, and have a good meal.

Huang Liji has always maintained a vigorous battle mode. Everyone thinks he is a bad guy, but he has a little more of his own intention to Zhang Jingyi, and he is happy to see it now.

Sun Chengzong wanted to see what Zhang Jingyi wanted to do.

When he was in Liaodong, he knew that it would be impossible to follow the rules, because there were no rules at all. Since the previous rules were not effective, let’s see what Zhang Jingyi’s intentions were.

Emperor Tianqi's conspiracy was successful at this time, and he smiled like spring breeze: "All the ministers of my humble heart."

Liu Yan and others rolled their eyes in their hearts.

The dignified Qingliu is called the humerus by an emperor like Tianqi, which is probably equivalent to a swearing word.

The Emperor Tianqi in a good mood said again, "So I plan to hold a banquet here, everyone has a good meal. Later, I will set up a trip back to the palace. What about you, let's go with you."

When it comes to eating, everyone is not polite.

To be honest, for some reason, since I soaked in the feces, my appetite has improved a lot now.

At the moment, the Hundred Houses held a banquet. After a meal, Emperor Tianqi said to Zhang Jing: "Let's wait for the sacred order here, and... my shaker, you will take it back to your sister. When the child is born, I will wait for you to enter the palace to report the good news. After all, I am watching the birth of my own people."

The so-called love for the house and the womb is probably the case.

Zhang Jingyi said oh, and her expression was very calm.

How to say, thank you? Thank you, I am the one who helps people raise children.

The Emperor Tianqi, who didn't know that Zhang Jing was thinking, sighed: "I used to have a child, a boy, only half a year old. I was happy when I saw him. I always felt that... there was one more hope in this world and hope..."

He talked to himself, but his face became sad: "But Wang Gongchang exploded, but somehow the beam fell down... Hey... If he was still there, he would probably be able to walk now and call him father."

Zhang Jingyi didn't dare to take the blame at this time.

Emperor Tianqi said, tears could not be hidden in the corners of his eyes and wanted to flow out, but then he showed a heartless look: "So, your sister-in-law is really not a thing, and it is worse than a beast."

After saying that, he stood up and returned to the palace.

Zhang Jingyi personally gave it to him.

Before leaving, Emperor Tianqi suddenly remembered something: "The capital is flooded, how about the grain in the barn?"

The Zhang family is buying grain in a lot, and everyone in the capital knows that, especially during this heavy rain, many rice merchants are in a hurry to ship, and the grain prices have fallen a lot.

Liu Yan and others also heard about this and couldn't help laughing.

A Hanlin next to him asked in a low voice: "Why is Mr. Liu laughing?"

"I laughed at Zhang Jing for being stupid. His father Zhang Tianlun was so smart. Isn't it asking for death when buying food at this time?"

Everyone laughed.

Emperor Tianqi was obviously worried about Zhang Jingyi.

In fact, the logic of the decline in grain prices in Beijing is understandable.

The capital city is not a production area, but a grain storage area. Countless grains are delivered from Jiangnan and other places through canals.

Therefore, every time there is a major disaster in the capital, especially after floods, the cost of hoarding grain will increase sharply.

After all, there may be a risk of mold and being flooded, and many grain merchants will find ways to rush to ship the goods.

The disasters here actually will not affect the grain price, because the annual output of the capital is just a drop in the ocean to the whole world. Even if the grain production in the entire capital has no harvest, it will not be a big deal.

This time, the Zhang family... purchased so much grain, which means that it needs a lot of money to store grain, and they also have to worry that when summer passes, the grain from all over the world will begin to be harvested, and many gentry families stockpiled a large amount of old grain that they had accumulated last year also needs to be sold and then loaded with new grain.

In this way, the food on the market will increase a lot, and it is often at this time when the grain prices are at its lowest point.

If the Zhang family insists on hoarding, then the grain will be divided into new and old. The older the grain is, the longer the stock is stored, the less it will be sold at a price.

So although everyone knows that food is a life-saving thing, very few people who really dare to do grain business and can make a lot of money from it.

Emperor Tianqi observed a moment of silence for Zhang Jingyi. It was so pitiful. I heard that Zhang Qing's family had even lost their capital. This time, I don't know how much grain in the capital was to be sold, so how could the Zhang family hold on.

Zhang Jingyi said, "Please rest assured that your majesty has gone to Changping to prevent Yu Weiran. I think there will be no problem with these foods. My father is still building a new barn there. After this heavy rain, maybe he can still collect some food at a low price."

This means that we have to continue to buy food.

Emperor Apocalypse's face suddenly thrust. At this time, in front of everyone, he couldn't say anything, and finally just said, "You should do it yourself."

Behind him, laughter continued from Liu Yan and others.

Of course, everyone takes this as a joke, and don’t think about it. How many grain merchants in the capital are now anxious. Seeing that the grain is about to get damp, the barn may have water, or the reserves are not good, and seeing that someone is going to sell grain on the market, your Zhang family dares to continue buying grain at this time? I’m really not afraid of death!

Someone whispered: "I'm crazy about making money, I don't know how powerful it is."

Everyone is confident, but they have a bit of a desire to watch jokes.

In fact, these people are really confident in making jokes.

These ministers often claim to be from other people's family.

What is farming and reading? In fact, it is a big landlord. His family has land. He has been influenced by his childhood. He has tall barns and many lands at home. He knows the fluctuations in the price of grain.

Most of them knew the rise and fall of the grain. Compared with the Zhang family father and son who have been living in the capital, they are really experts.

Of course, everyone was just laughing secretly. His Majesty had already taken the lead and everyone dispersed with His Majesty.

...

As soon as the sage carriage left, Zhang Jing returned to the public housing of a hundred households.

But before he could stand still, someone hurriedly said, "Zhang Baihu, Zhang Baihu, some merchants are asking for a meeting."

Zhang Jingyi said in confusion: "Businessman, what kind of businessman?"

"It's a grain merchant. They have long heard that hundreds of households collect grain, so they want to ask if the Zhang family still collects grain."

Zhang Jingyi: “………”

Why do you feel like these people are pulling out the wool from my Zhang family? I just bought grain and bought a sucker?

Zhang Jing said: "Tell them that all the money from the Zhang family has gone to buy grain, and now... there is no cash in hand."

"They also know, but... a grain merchant said that no one in the world knows that Zhang Baihu is His Majesty's humerus. The Zhang family has a lot of industries in the capital, so they can naturally trust it. As long as they want to buy grain, they can also pay it off with credit, and it will be fine next year."
