E Yufang was a little upset. Uncle and concubine were originally a maid who was a wife in his youth, and he was devoted to him. How could he not know about this? It was just that after years of separation, now in his opinion, she was just a woman who had a friendship with him in his youth. It would be impossible for him to develop and sublimate this love into love between men and women.

But after all, she left the country for the sake of herself, and this relationship was not settled, so she couldn't say anything too hard. So she softly said, "Since you want to enter the palace, you can be a palace order first. If you have a good place in the future, can you come and settle it?"

Uncle didn't dare to say more, with tears in his eyes, and bowed and said, "But it depends on the arrangements of the Lord."

On the day when the gate of Haojing was opened, the whole city was in a carnival, and people sang and danced in every open space, streets, teahouses and restaurants. The streets and alleys of Haojing were filled with horse-drawn carriages and ox carriages that had just returned from Fengjing or Chengzhou. In the following days, bells and drums were heard from the mansions of various clans and nobles, which were gathering guests and friends for the sake of returning to the mansion.

Most of the shops in Changjie have reopened, and every house is crowded, and the merchants no longer worry about the future and take out all their inventory to supply. Every teahouse, tavern, bookstore, and houses are crowded with people, each of them is so happy and unshirkable. Everyone shouts loudly and laughs happily. It seems that the vitality accumulated by everyone who has protected their souls in the past two months will be exhausted in these days. People of different identities gather together and enjoy themselves, and they are like brothers and sisters. There is no real peace in the coming of death, but the joy of liberation from disaster has been achieved.

While enjoying this carnival, people naturally burst into tears for the heroes who helped them escape from this disaster. Of course, everyone knows that this benefactor is named Rong Yi, the owner of Fengming Medical Center. A huge Haojing city can survive and the conspiracy of Feng Yi was lost again, which was all due to Rong Yi. With such a great contribution, how should the Prime Minister who has always been courteous and fair in summoning him? It is indispensable to have a doctor and give two or three cities as a deed and mournful city? Even if it is not too much to enter the court to be a minister.

People were looking at it so much, but reality surprised everyone.

Someone who was interested saw Rong Yi and his disciples coming out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and did not board the bronze cart specially prepared for the distinguished guests. Instead, they still rode on the black-topped cart they were riding on when they came and quietly left. The cart was covered but not a tent, and the passengers could sit or stand. Passers-by also knew the people on the car at a glance. The Prime Minister's Mansion used a luxurious car to send guests away, which was to give the guests such a glory that everyone could admire. However, Rong Yi was not grateful, and his apprentice Chongli behind him also looked angry, whether it was because he was unsatisfied with the reward.

Gradually, this matter gradually fermented and became the theme of street talks.

"What? I'm just given a doctor, with an annual salary of 50 kilograms of gold? I don't have an inch of land?" At first glance, people didn't believe their ears and questioned: "Is there any misunderstanding that Mr. Mu was not so biased in his actions?"

"No," the man who spoke with a mysterious look on his face: "Zhao Xiang originally wanted to grant the 50-mile land near Qiaoling to Gong Rong Yi, but this man refused calmly. What do you think he said?"

"What did you say?" people asked anxiously.

The man stroked his beard and made a gesture and said, "Qiaoling is the place where Emperor Huang sleeps. What kind of virtue can the barbarians do? How can they live in this holy place and blaspheme the ancestor?"

"If the bridge and tombs do not work, it can also be re-entrusted to other cities? Such a great contribution, the royal family will not be able to say anything, right?" The Zhou people still had traditions in discussing politics, and they went straight and did not shy away.

"Mr. Rong Yi said that as a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he saw that the people were suffering from plague and hanging over the top. Saving the villagers from water and fire is a matter of duty. How could he reach out to reward them?"

"Oh, Rong Yigong not only has outstanding medical skills, but also has noble character. I am beyond my reach. He is a famous scholar who is rare in ancient and modern times!"

"Yeah yeah!"

In this way, Rong Yi's reputation and noble character spread throughout Haojing City in one or two days. Whether it was the Gongfu, the noble family, or the alleys in the city, they were praised. For a time, Rong Yi's name was well-known. Naturally, it would also be heard by King Li of Zhou.

"Qi Zhong, bring the wine!"

Qi Zhong came over quickly: "Your Majesty is self-disciplined. Master has given you instructions that you should not drink alcohol at night."

"

Such a strange article, how can you not have wine!" Ji Hu patted heavily.

Qi Zhong had no choice but to bring sweet wine, at least he was a little drunk, sweet and delicious, and did not hurt his stomach. After two days, three or two empty wine jars piled up next to the desk, and the large study room was always filled with a strong fragrance of wine.

This is how Ji Hu slapped the table and was amazed, and he read a thin parchment book day and night. Even so, he was still not happy. At dusk when he finished reading the parchment book, Ji Hu walked into the poplar forest in the back garden, wandering among the golden and red leaves for a night, sometimes chanting loudly and sometimes thinking hard. When the frost and mist enveloped the world, Ji Hu returned to the dormitory and snored loudly, and slept all day and night.

What deeply shocked Ji Hu was the Rongyi letter brought back when Qi Zhong went to Fengming Hospital to buy medicinal materials.

There are not many books in this era. Ji Hu has read most of them, but no book or a person's thoughts can bring him such a strange feeling - it's like seeing a bright star in the foggy and boundless darkness.

Reading "Book of Zhou" and walking all the way from the distant prehistoric land, the rise and fall of all generations are as vivid as it is now. The allusions of the rise and fall of the clan are well-known. Whether you agree or not, you will feel a sigh.

Reading the Book of Changes is a quest for a boundless and profound wisdom. You may see a strange treasure or pick up a useless straw; it is like a strange stone in the ocean. Some people regard it as a peak of thousands of feet, some people regard it as a comfortable pillow, some people regard it as a magic weapon, and some people regard it as a clear heart medicine stone; however, no matter how you guess, its soul is shrouded in endless mystery, making you develop a kind of mediocrity and insignificance that faces the wise.

------

All these are different. The most important thing is that none of these works of the sages can provide a direct ideological basis for King Li of Zhou, Ji Hu, who is determined to strive for governance and revitalize the might of the Zhou royal family. However, Rong Yi wrote a letter to him differently.

In this thin piece of parchment, Rong Yi clearly proposed his strategy for governing the country, specifically from three aspects:

First, the core of rectifying the administration of officials is to reform the official salary system.

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a suicide-style irregular grant of real estate was implemented on the issue of salaries of officials and ministers. In fact, the operation of the entire Western Zhou government was based on "for favors for loyalty". Land property became an important economic link for the connection between the King of Zhou and noble officials.

This is exactly what Ji Hu hates the most. He believes that this is like cutting flesh on himself to feed the noble relatives who never know how to satisfy him. The Zhou royal family has weakened day by day, while the power of the nobles and princes has increased day by day until they can compete with the royal family. He had wanted to change it for a long time, but he didn't know where to start. Rong Yi's letter provided him with a feasible plan.

Second, clear water conservancy and develop agriculture.

Agricultural production is the economic foundation for the dynasty to settle down, but the well-field system is too rigid. After many years of implementation, most of the Maotuan branch canals were either blocked or abandoned, causing the fields to be poor every year and flooded. The public and noble private fields are intertwined, and you have me and I have you. Renovating water conservancy requires a comprehensive plan. You cannot treat the headache or the feet. Over the past few decades, all the well-fields have been abandoned.

Third, weak seal.

Rong Yi believed that when King Wu first conquered Shang, he was a local government in the western corner who seized the central land and had to divide the feudal family to protect the Zhou royal family. But now that time has changed and the feudal family continues to be endless, the land in the royal capital will continue to shrink. This is the root cause of the continuous decline of the Zhou royal family.

The fundamental solution is to abolish the ceasing. If it cannot be done, at least it must be weak. In this way, the royal family will have enough land and people, wealth and benefits to support the operation of the dynasty, foreign wars, and even expand territory and establish unparalleled achievements.

That night, Ji Hu couldn't sleep well, and he drank sweet wine with one jujube, and he didn't know the taste.

At the fifth hour, the rooster crowed, and Ji Hu Chang whistled, "Alas! Even though I saw this person, I could not travel with him. I would hate him even if I died!"

"Qi Zhong!" The tall young eunuch responded, and only heard Ji Hu's order: "Hold the orphan command to pick up Rong Yi into the palace with the orphan, and I want to be an official!"

Qi Zhong suddenly realized, raised his eyes and was surprised

He looked at the young emperor and said, "But the king, you have not yet ruled the government, how can you be appointed as an official? You should ask the Prime Minister to enter the palace to discuss this matter!"

As if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, Ji Hu suddenly felt irritable and said angrily: "Then you go to the prime minister's mansion first, please ask the young father to enter the palace quickly!"

"promise!"

"What? The king wants to be appointed as an official to Rongyi?"

In the Wangcheng study room, Zhao Bohu had just sat down in front of the exclusive case under the Wang case. After hearing Ji Hu's plan, he was shocked and instinctively retorted: "King, this matter is not in accordance with the etiquette!":

"Gu knows that Gu has not been in charge of the government and has no authority to grant officials. Have you come to discuss with his young father?" Ji Hu frowned, feeling quite unhappy.

"The king misunderstood," Zhao Bohu bowed and thanked: "I mean that this Rongyi is unknown. Although he has recommended him by the Marquis of Wei and Duke of Song, he is only a counselor in the Song and Wei countries and has not served as a real official position. All the officials of our Great Zhou Dynasty were hereditary. Such a person who suddenly became an official may cause criticism."

"So what! Talented people make full use of their own use, so that all the talents in the world will yearn for the dynasty. This is the foundation for the long-term stability of the dynasty!" Ji Hulixi stood up, and saw Zhao Bohu silently, knowing that he was expressing his opposition with silence.
