Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 200
As a puppet emperor, Yuan Shanjian became more and more resistant to court meetings, which could have contacted courtiers and showed off the demeanor of a king.

General five baht?

In all dynasties, how could there be such a careless official.

The little emperor's knowledge was shallow, Gao Cheng didn't know what Yuan Shanjian was thinking, otherwise he would have to tell him that there was a powerful minister who not only scolded the dog foot Zhen himself, but also ordered his subordinates to beat the emperor three times in public.

Compared with that person, you Yuan Shanjian should be secretly happy to have his little Gao Wang serve you.

The courtiers whispered to each other and couldn't change anything, Gao Cheng glanced away, and everyone remained silent.

The mouth of the people is better than that of Fangchuan, but it is easy to defend the mouth of the officials in the court.

No matter how unwilling Yuan Shanjian feels in his heart, it is difficult to change Gao Cheng, the villain's decision.

Enduring the humiliation, Yuan Shanjian agreed to promote the general's five baht coins throughout the country.

Even if he disagreed, so what, it was just to let Gao Longzhi snatch the seal again afterwards.

The predecessors committed crimes and corrupted the country, so that future generations suffered.

After the court meeting, Gao Cheng was not in a hurry to issue a decree. He built a hundred minting furnaces in Gaolong and accumulated a certain amount of new coins.

It was drafted by the Zhongshu Province, reviewed by the Menxia Province, and officially promulgated the decree, pushing the general's five baht coin to the foreground.

Following the example of the original owner, Gao Cheng hung two steelyards at the city gates in the markets of Luoyang and various prefectures and counties for the public to use to weigh the currency.

At the same time, Gao Cheng also severely cracked down on the private minting of coins, and countless bad coin dealers lost their families as a result.

In the eighth year of Taichang, on July 74, there was a market in Yecheng, and two scales were hung.

The market secretary in charge of the market whispered at the door:
"The imperial court issued new coins. If you have no doubts, you can take the scales and weigh them."

The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter, and Zhang Guanren hugged a piece of cloth and huddled among them, with a look of trust on his face.

The mayor went on to shout:
"That is the new policy of the little general, and the new coins are also minted by the little general."

The crowd immediately became quiet, and everyone whispered to each other, wanting to know whether the new currency is really worth it.

Because of Gao Cheng's love for the people in the past, most of the people believed him.

The secretary of the city took the scales, counted out hundreds of coins and weighed them in public. Just as Gao Cheng said that day, it weighed seventy-two or seventy baht per catty.

I held the scale and let the people around me watch it, only then did they suspect that the new coins were really heavy.

"That's called the Little General's seven baht coin!"

The city secretary said proudly, the exclamation of seven weeks made me feel unworthy.

Liao Liangping is the same as everyone else. Before I knew that it was Gao Cheng who did it, I had no doubts about the full weight of the new currency.

Eight years have passed, and the former soldier has not faded away. Because of the low military salary, Liao Liangping's life outside his home has become a lot narrower.

That is, I brought a piece of cloth to the market today, not to exchange for dried meat for my one-year-old son Wang Gongyun to drop out of elementary school.

Whenever others asked about the origin of his son's name, Mr. Zhang would always explain it to us.

This happened in the first year of Taichang. The imperial court searched and inspected fake officials, involving more than [-] people, but a small number of them were officials.

In order to fill the vacancy, Gao Cheng recruited people by taking an exam, and the first stop was not in Yecheng.

The grand occasion at that time is still fresh in Zhang Guanren's memory.

In order to prevent cheating, Gao Cheng ordered the garrison soldiers to monitor the candidates one-on-one. After the exam, we had to be sent out of the small camp, which was a quasi-stay.

What Zhang Guanren is monitoring is Yuan Shanjian, who was once the Xiangzhou Juntian envoy and is now promoted to Xiangzhou Tixue.

Xiangzhou Tixue is a new official position established by Gao Cheng, who is in charge of the school administration of prefectures and counties.

I suffered from the loss of my parents' education, so I was called Zhang Guanren because there was no well outside the house.

Because I witnessed Gaocheng set up an examination room with his own eyes, he paid attention to fairness and prevented fraud, and only recruited for his knowledge.

At that time, Zhang Guanren began to think about letting his children study in the future.

Sending Yuan Shanjian out of the camp, he stopped me before leaving, begging me to give my one-year-old son a name.

Yuan Shanjian thought for a moment, then wrote two words on the ground, telling Zhang Guanren that it was fair.

Before sending Yuan Shanjian away, Zhang Guanren copied it underground for a long time, and finally learned those two characters. Since then, his son has lost Wang Gongyun's name.

Eight years have passed, and Zhang Guanren has not stopped thinking about letting his son study. I have no intention of selling pots and pieces of iron for Wang Gongyun to study, but I did find a place to drop out of school.

More importantly, it has been eight years, and the examination for recruiting officials has not been carried out.

Just as Liao Liangping hadn't given up on that determination, he was going to let Wang Gongyun's son inherit his father's job as a state and county soldier, and at most he didn't get eight stones of military pay every year.

Gao Cheng suddenly issued a government decree to abolish the four-rank Zhongzheng system and select candidates by imperial examination. For example, the examination in that year will be held every eight years.

As long as you pass the state examination, you can become an official, and if you pass the Beijing examination, you can become an official.

That's not all, Gao Cheng is still promoting elementary school in various prefectures, counties and townships, which also makes Wang Gongyun and other special families no place to study.

Those two decrees revived Zhang Guanren's thoughts that he had given up on.

Based on Yuan Shanjian's diligence, Yecheng, Zhizhou and county schools have been established, and many elementary schools have been opened, but there is no one in the distance from Zhang Guan's family.

Whether Zhang Guanren was determined, he exchanged the cloth in his arms for new coins, prepared dried meat for Mr. Meng Xue outside the market, and took all the remaining coins home.

Gao Cheng made a special rule that Mr. Meng Xue is supported by the state, so he needs to pay additional tuition fees, but he still made a rule that he needs to send a piece of jerky as a gift for school.

Liao Liangping just retreated, and at the urging of his daughter-in-law, he took the one-year-old Wang Gongyun to the Mongolian school dormitory.

Sending a bundle of repairs to Mr. Xiang, it can be regarded as a real invitation to drop out of school.

Holding Wang Gongyun's hand and walking out of the school building, Liao Liangping deliberately walked to the office of Tixuefu, and said earnestly:

"To be fair, the origin of his name, as you have said many times, was given by Tixue Liao Liangping. Liao Liangping used to make a living from farming, but I have studied. He has become an official with his own knowledge, he needs to know that as long as you study hard, you can also be a petty official like you are now."

Wang Gongyun nodded, and I shifted my gaze from my father's face to the plaque of the Tixue Academy, and said in a childish voice:

"Grandpa is worried, you must study hard and become a small official in the future, let him have a good time!"

Zhang Guanren rubbed his son's head and said with a smile:

"If you really become an official, you have to learn from Zhang Dexing and be a good official."

Immediately, Zhang Guanren told Wang Gongyun about Yuan Shanjian's hard work under the Juntian envoy in those years.

"It is precisely because Liao Liangping is dedicated to serving the people and dealing with things fairly that the little general values ​​him. Now the Bohai Palace in Yecheng sends two bolts of cloth to Zhang Dexing's residence on time every month as a reward for my integrity."

"Two bolts of cloth! Is this Dexing very poor?"

Wang Gongyun asked in surprise.

Zhang Guanren said with a smile:
"Zhang Dexing exchanged these two bolts of cloth for rice every month to help the poor."

Wang Gongyun, who was stupid since he was a child, sighed:

"This Zhang Dexing is really a good official."

Liao Liangping shook his head and said:
"Without the little general, the officialdom can accommodate a good official like Liao Liangping."

"But, you heard that the little general is greedy for money and lustful, so he is a good man."

Wang Gongyun was puzzled.

Liao Liangping got excited when he heard that, and Gao Cheng couldn't even be said to be the person I respected the most in my life.

It is I who pay the military salary for myself, share the land equally for the small family, and it is I who set up the imperial examination and promote culture and education, which gave us the opportunity to make a living.

Liao Liangping hurriedly told his son that the so-called greed for money and lust were all slander of the young general by these noble families.

I took greed for money as an example and told Wang Gongyun that Gao Cheng only took money to build a school building.

In the teachings of his father, the one-year-old Wang Gongyun is full of reverence for Low Cheng, although we have never faced each other.

Gao Cheng didn't know that he was far away in Yecheng, and he didn't have such a diehard fan.

I must know, I have to ask the next question, greedy for money and lustful, why only take greedy for money as an example!
In fact, Zhang Guanren is not a special case. Since Gao Cheng came to power, the number of people who have been favored by me is countless.

There is no deterrence from Xianbei in the eight towns below, and there is no support from the people at the bottom. That is also the confidence for me to run amok and act recklessly.

For example, Zhang Guanren sent his son to study, which happened commonly in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. The root cause is that Gao Cheng paid the soldiers for the soldiers, so that our living standards were improved.

Secondly, there are no small-scale natural disasters in Henan and Hebei's Anding youth, and Gaocheng evenly divides the fields and restores production, which also makes the special people more or less lose some surplus.

People who have no vision, seeing that their son is smart, are willing to tighten their belts and let us study in order to change our destiny.

Even if one gets fame in the future and is able to write and write, it's better than being illiterate and having no way out.

Before the construction of school buildings in various places, prefecture and county government schools had no students until next year's imperial examinations, so Gao Cheng was concerned about the enrollment situation of Meng schools.

The feedback he got also made Gao Cheng feel gratified: Is the notoriety of low skinning not in vain?

But it is also because of the notoriety of low-level pickpocketing that I searched for Buddhist and Taoist property, but used it for the good deeds of building school buildings and exempting children from tuition fees, which made the low-level hands and small people appreciate my kindness.

There is no reason why I didn't listen to Si Daiwo's seven propagandas, and King Dadi held a negative attitude.

The thing about Gao Cheng's hands is not only a small cultural and educational prosperity, but also a small general. The seven baht coin is generally accepted by the people because of its heavy weight.

He may be a small general, but he must like the seven baht coin of the small general.

For the next two days, Gao Cheng continued to inspect printing factories and mints around Luoyang.

Before setting up the platform of the mint, Di Longzhi, as a brick in the construction of Xiaowei, also unloaded that burden.

Gao Cheng is also a white-hearted landlord. If he arranges work for me immediately, he always has to let Gao Longzhi rest for a few days. However, a calf in engineering, who is forced to die of overwork by himself, the loss is small.

Not only Yu Wentai was concerned about Gao Cheng's various reforms, but also Gao Huan, who had grown up with a grandson in Jinyang, was also concerned.

Compared with Gao Cheng who is busy with state affairs, Di Huan is indeed less leisurely.

Entrust all government affairs to Gao Cheng, and concentrate on leading the army, but in the final analysis, the most important job is to restore morale.

Di Huan's health has improved recently, and I often show up to Jinyang Xiaoying for a few laps, chatting and laughing with the villagers in Bazhen, recalling the glory of our victories since the attack on the Erzhu family, and the defeat in Hexi. , It's just an overstatement.

　About Wang Ajing’s request for fame is in Chapter 60, about Zhang Dexing’s description is in Chapter 120. There are virtuous people in Yecheng, and Gao Cheng’s gift of cloth is in Chapter 120. The Li family has a daughter.

　　Thanks for the reminder from the group friends, the food slave terminator, 'It is impossible for everyone to love the general, but it is impossible for everyone to love the general's money'.
