Chapter 332: Liaodong Experimental Zone, the people's longing
There have always been some people who are smart and sensible, or are good at observing and pondering, and can keep up with the changes and pace of the times.
Of course, in feudal society, we must understand the superior meaning. This superior meaning can be said to be the emperor's preferences and psychology, or to be the policy changes of the court.
In history, there are quite a few people who have seized such an opportunity. Whether it is to meet their preferences or adapt to the trend, it is hard to say that such people are absolutely good or bad.
Wu Yongxian's distant relative was also a scholar, between a top student and a poor student. He was qualified to be a teacher in a private school, but he had basically no hope of passing the imperial examination.
But when people saw the opportunity, they were the emperor's transfer to officials. Although this system was used to have been, it was extremely strict and difficult.
In recent years, the imperial court has been increasing its scale, and the difficulty of changing officials has been greatly reduced, and the number of people has increased greatly. It seems that it is gradually competing with the imperial examination and official career.
Of course, the nature of these two types of officials is different. One is to pass the exam and the other is to survive.
But since you can't pass the exam, you can make up for it with time. First, you can become a minor official in the yamen. If you don't make mistakes, you can participate in the transfer assessment after two or three years. If you pass the exam, you can still wear official uniforms.
Moreover, the treatment of officials has also improved, and the emperor Jianba's several are also very effective as examples. It breaks the tradition of no room for promotion for clerks and also helps the integrity of clerks, unless you don't want to be promoted to an official.
Therefore, this distant relative wanted to take the path of "suffering" the official. He first followed Wu Yong as a long-term follower, then he then found a job in the yamen. After gaining the status of an official, he then climbed to the official class.
The imperial examination is a single-plank bridge where thousands of troops walk on a single-plank bridge, and most scholars will be eliminated. The improvement of the system of transferring officials is equivalent to giving these losers another chance.
In the definition of an emperor, officials are civil servants and officials are contract systems. The one who works the most and most tiring is the contract worker.
In later generations, I will give you the opportunity to become a contract worker. There is no hope, who is willing to work hard?
Wu Yongxian did not fully understand the emperor's thoughts, and it was difficult to arrange for this distant relative. After pondering for a long time, he said to his wife: "Let me talk to him, let him go to the academy and take a normal way to be an official!"
If you want to be a clerk, there are two ways now. One is to recruit local officials, such as book cases, yamen runners, etc.; the second is to enroll in school, like Lu Qinghou and Lu Xiaobu.
Those who become officials through admission and redistribution are very popular with Shangguan because if the clerks he recruits are somewhat responsible for making any mistakes; and those assigned by the court will not be held accountable for him.
"Master, take a break soon." The lady got up and left, and did not forget to give advice.
Wu Yongxian nodded repeatedly and agreed. After his wife left, he lit up the candle and continued to review the documents.
The emperor attached so much importance to the reconstruction of Liaodong, as Wu Yongxian said, and regarded this place as a "experimental area".
Since there is an experiment, it will inevitably be promoted if it is successful. Wu Yongxian could think that the emperor's ultimate goal might be all parts of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, although Liaodong was restored, the enemy still existed, and the goal of pacifying Liao and destroying slaves was only half achieved. According to the emperor's character, how could it be possible to give up?
We must continue to advance northward to suppress the troops. As a base, Liaodong must at least reach the level of self-sufficiency. Tens of thousands of troops and more than one million people, relying on the imperial court to transport grain, no matter how big the family business is, it will be ruined.
Furthermore, there are also Jurchens from Hada, Yehe, Ula and other tribes. Surrendering certainly weakened the strength of Jianlu, but also accelerated the process of Ping Liao.
But it is not easy to ensure that they are honest and honest, and how to use them to attack Jianlu.
There are also Mongolian tribes. The emperor has plans, but it is also very uncertain whether the implementation will be smooth and what variables will occur.
Naturalization, naturalization, becoming a descendant of the Ming Dynasty, and working hard to serve the Ming Dynasty...
Wu Yong first stroked his beard, pondering the feasibility of the plan and the emperor's deeper considerations on this.
…………………………………
The night is already deep and the lights are on thousands of homes.
Erya's father pushed the car and walked home with his daughter talking and laughing.
The court has lifted the curfew for several months, and the city gates are still closed, but the activities in the city are not affected.
Everyone thinks that the emperor should demonstrate the stability of the Ming Dynasty and have a prosperous atmosphere. In fact, what the emperor wants is to stimulate consumption and promote the development and prosperity of industry and commerce.
The reason why he dared to do this is naturally that the Five City Military Affairs Office has been reorganized and strengthened, and has the ability to overwhelm the chaos in the city.
Mounted Police, this new thing and new name, has gradually become familiar to people in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
The dissolution of the Jiaofangsi and the reluctance of the Lehu became good, which greatly promoted the development of the entertainment industry in the capital.
The rise of night entertainment is naturally beneficial to some small transactions. For example, Erya’s family sells roasted sweet potatoes, fried melon seeds and other snacks, and their income is much higher than before.
"Dad has found out clearly and it is up to voluntarily to return to Liaodong. The court has issued some policies, such as agricultural tools and seeds, but they also have to be distributed by the local governments in Liaodong." Erya's father said slowly with a smile on his face: "Our family's travel expenses are enough. After the New Year, we will prepare for it. Let's go home."
Erya nodded and asked with some concern: "I have to build a house when I return to Liaodong, I have to do it, it's also a cost!"
"The court said that building a house would only take three years to work for the government for a hundred days." Erya's father was not very embarrassed, and grinned and said, "Building roads and building an official warehouse is not too heavy and tiring, and he still cares about food."
After pausing, Erya's father added: "There is also labor-for-relief and efforts to provide food. In this way, you will have to wait until the autumn harvest and you will have no worries about the next year."
Seeing that his father was relaxed, Erya obviously had already planned for a long time and was more confident, so she felt relieved.
"Can you still make money by selling things like you are now?" Erya is used to doing it, and she doesn't feel hard or tired, but she thinks it's much easier than farming.
Erya's father scratched his head and said uncertainly: "If you live in the city, it might be better. But if you want to live in the countryside, who will you sell it to?"
"Sell it to passers-by!" Erya seemed to have thought about this, blinking her big eyes and said, "It is best to have a big tree at the entrance of the village or by the road. In summer, thirsty water is sold under the shade, and in winter, roasted sweet potatoes are hot and fragrant. Everyone wants to have one piece!"
Erya's father laughed, touched his daughter's head docilely, and said, "Okay, we only have a variety of sweet potatoes in our family, let you sell them."
Erya smiled with satisfaction, recalling her hometown and looking forward to what her home will look like in the future.
There should be several big houses and a large yard that can grow some flowers and plants. She also wants to raise a puppy and run around her feet and play. Well, it’s good to raise some chickens, and the eggs are delicious.
