At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 172 Real gold’s actions

"Yang Big Eyes."

"The little guy is here."

"From now on, you are the people, and the generals, soldiers and soldiers must not oppress you."

"Thank you grandpa, thank you grandpa." Yang Dayan immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Tumuge'er, who was freeing the slaves instead of Zhenjin, stepped aside and said, "This is the prince's kindness. Don't thank me."

Yang Dayan and his slaves kowtow to express their gratitude and treat the real gold as a real Buddha.

In Ezhou City, Zhenjin is planning to hold the local imperial examination.

"The imperial examination is about promoting talents for the country! Sichuan and Hubei have outstanding people, and the virtuous are selected to serve the court.

I have sent a report to my father, and there will be a response soon. You can make suggestions on this. " Zhenjin said.

Suo Yuandai, the governor of Jiangxi Xingtai, said: "Xingtai has been established for less than a month, and there are many illegal inspections. There will be many vacancies in various places, and the imperial examinations should be held to fill them."

"Your Highness." He Wei, the transfer envoy of Jiangxi Province, said: "The reason for the fall of Liling lies in the deep estrangement between Mongolia and Han. We can use military examinations to select Han generals to govern the Han army to strengthen the morale of the army."

"Good." Zhenjin touched his hands and said with a smile: "Jinghu has not been newly attached for a long time, and people are frightened. The top priority is to calm people's hearts.

It is a trivial matter to release people and drive them away, but it is fundamental to recruit all the heroes. You should make suggestions and suggestions to make the imperial examination a regular system of the imperial court. "

"I will do my best," everyone agreed.

There is no imperial examination in the Yuan Dynasty today, and there are generally two ways to become an official. One is to shelter Kublai Khan and Xue Suwei for gold plating, and then release it to the outside world;

Nowadays, with the death of old shogunate elders, the status of Hanchen is declining day by day. In order to boost the influence of the Han family, they urgently need new ways to absorb fresh blood.

There is no doubt that the imperial examination is an excellent way.

Placing it in Hunan can consolidate the place, help Zhenjin gather his party members, and prepare for taking over the throne in the future.

Everyone talked to each other and quickly determined the time and scope of the imperial examination. They only need to be notified to the entire province (Hunan and Hubei), provided that the imperial court approves.

This is a bit difficult.

In September of the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1267), Wang E requested the implementation of the election law. Kublai Khan issued an edict to Zhongshu Sheng and the Hanlin Academy to discuss the election procedures. In July of the sixth year, Guozixue was established. In ten years, Prince Zhenjin followed the order. The imperial examination was carried out. The provincial ministers agreed on the imperial examination procedure the following year, but it was delayed in implementation due to the large number of opponents.

Why object?
For Han Chen, our descendants can serve as officials, so why bother to take the exam?For the Mongolians, if they can be officials for generations, why set exams?

With Kublai Khan's prestige, it was just a matter of one sentence to implement the imperial examination, but he did not say anything, probably because he was afraid that all the officials in the world were Han, which would lead to the loss of the country's generals.

This is very likely to happen, because when it comes to exams, Mongolians are all scum, how can they possibly pass the Han people.

Zhenjin may also have this concern, but because most of his supporters are Han Chen, the stronger this force is, the more stable his position will be. At present, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and of course he must work hard to implement it.

What is speculated in private does not need to be brought to the public. People only praise the significance of the imperial examination for stabilizing people's hearts, and they talk about the land as they talk.

"Before Boyan returned to the north, he ordered various regions to divide their fields and agreed to pay a tax of [-]%. Jinghu Province has hardly implemented it. How can you teach me?" Zhenjin asked.

Introduce... local officials and military generals immediately stopped talking.

Everyone secretly occupied so much land, and it was just divided out?If this is the case, it is better to join the Song Dynasty. It will be much more comfortable without a father on the top of the dock.

"Your Highness, we want to divide the land between Zhao and Song. There are many rebellions in the area. Now that Jinghu has been newly attached, it has not been stabilized. If we implement it hastily, we are afraid of chaos." Zhang Yanran, the former Ezhou magistrate and current Ezhou Road manager, said.

Zhenjin asked in reply: "The Song Dynasty can suppress the rebellion, but the Yuan Dynasty cannot?"

"At that time, the dynasty did not send troops, so the Song Dynasty put down the rebellion. Today, the Song army is waiting around. If there is chaos in the place, they will take advantage of it and enter Jinghu. Jinghu will be in danger." Zhang Yanran said.What Zhang Yanran said was the truth, Zhenjin couldn't refute it, so he asked: "Is there a good way to buy people's hearts?"

The crowd was silent.

Since ancient times, the only way to win over people's hearts is to do light corvee and low taxes. However, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was exempted from corvee and miscellaneous taxes. Can the Mongols do that?
It can be done, but it cannot be done.

It is a fact that the territory is vast, the resources are rich, and the population is large, but the army, officials, nobles, and royal family all need to be supported. The emperor himself is not a frugal person, and the expenses are actually very tight.

Jinghu learned the policies of the Song Dynasty. Is it enough to only rely on [-]% of the land tax and business tax?

not enough.

First, there was a confrontation between the Song and Jin Dynasties, and then there was a tug of war between the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The Jinghu area was in ruins and many people fled. The most intuitive thing is that last year, the total reported statistics were 180 million shi of grain and 35 guan of money.

This is the result of excessive taxation. It is difficult to estimate the actual amount of corruption. If it is really based on [-]%, it is estimated to be less than this number.

The Mongolian and Han armies are 14, and the Confederate army is 240, which is [-] dan per month. No matter how frugal the governments at all levels are, [-] to [-] per month are necessary, and [-] million dan are needed a year.

The food shortage of 60 shi can be purchased from the hands of the common people, which requires about 100 million and 50 guan. The problem is that there is no money.

This money refers to gold, silver and copper, not Zhongtong treasure banknotes. It is newly attached to Jinghu. The people do not approve of this thing. If it is enforced, it will definitely destroy the people's hearts and lead to an endless cycle. The only solution is to import it from the outside.

Sichuan was almost slaughtered, and it all relied on Hanzhong and Shaanxi to provide support. The war in the Jianghuai River has not stopped, and there is no other way to take care of it. It is obviously impossible to count on the support of the central and further north in the north.

Jinghu was able to be self-sufficient in the past only by squeezing the new vassal army, so the new vassal army collapsed when it encountered a battle.

"The country is vast, but it is not enough to support a place. Why?" Zhen Jin couldn't figure it out.

"I believe that we should organize the people to reclaim wasteland to meet the shortage of expenses. In addition, the people will join the army and the local manpower is insufficient. The powerful gentry will have to reduce the rent. It is a matter of killing two birds with one stone." Jia Juzhen put forward feasible suggestions.

"Is there any wasteland?" Zhenjin asked.

"You can get fields around Dongting Lake, or you can reclaim the abandoned fields. It is not difficult to acquire 300 million acres. Even if you split it half and half with the people, you will get at least 50 dan of grain, and the cost will be sufficient." Jia Juzhen has done some research, So confident.

"It's just a good time to release the people to serve the people. They have no farmland, so we can organize them to cultivate together." He Wei added.

"Good!" Zhenjin said with a smile: "I have the help of all the lords, so why worry about not being able to accomplish great things?"

"It's just my duty." Jia Juzhen replied.

"I will report to my father at the palace meeting that I will serve as the right prime minister and coordinate the provincial government affairs." Zhenjin made a promise.

Just as Jia Juzhen was about to thank him, a soldier rushed in and said, "The barbarians in Ludong, Chenzhou, were in rebellion. The Song army took the opportunity to invade. Guiyang, Yizhang and Linwu have been lost."

Zhenjin took a breath, then filled his chest with anger and shouted: "There is chaos in the place, why don't you report the loss of the letter?"

The person who lost his name was Chenzhou Luda Luhuachi, who was in charge of heaven and earth, the army and the people, and people and dogs. Of course he was responsible for this.

"Your Highness, the top priority is to deploy defenses to prevent the Song army from going deep." He Wei advised.

"How many troops are available in Ezhou?" Zhenjin asked.

"We can still send [-] troops," He Wei replied.

Zhenjin said: "You personally lead the troops and must block the Song army."

Losing cities and territory one after another is really a slap in his face. If this continues, how will he be viewed by both the court and the public?
