Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 296 Unless I Die

The turmoil in the capital will naturally not affect Liaodong. No one dares to directly object to Zhu Houzhao sitting here. Even if someone secretly writes a memorial, Zhu Houzhao doesn't care.During this period of time, Zhu Houzhao was most concerned about the promotion of the examination method, which was a very important matter. He was not worried about the military reform, because Wang Shouren had rich experience.

The same goes for the arsenal and the steel factory, but during this period of time, Guangning City has become more lively, because people are pouring in every day.

Some came to work, and some came to join the army. Every day, people would pull people around and ask: Have you ever heard of a steel factory?Or: Have you heard of the Black Dragon Army?All of a sudden, the strong men in Liaodong became a hot commodity, and the influx of a lot of money made the whole Guangning city lively. Of course, there is no problem with public security.

After all, Guangning is a military town, and with the presence of His Royal Highness Zhu Houzhao, the prince, the security of the entire Guangning city is extremely good.

Everything is going on steadily, and Zhu Houzhao personally supervised the implementation of the examination method. Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that a single examination method would make the officials of Ming Dynasty grow up quickly. The problem of laziness , in future generations, those are all difficult problems, and buck-passing and arguing are even more normal, but there is one thing that Daming has but future generations do not.

In the later generations, laziness in government is more for the people below and the common people, but it is not dared for the above. Once the matter is accounted for by the above, the speed of handling it is still very fast.

But it’s not good in Ming Dynasty, the officials of Ming Dynasty dare to be lazy for you, even if the imperial decree of the emperor is passed down, it may be difficult to implement it well in the end, how can this be possible?The purpose of the examination is one, and that is to explain the matter, you must do it well for me, if you can't do it well, then you don't do it, this is what Zhu Houzhao wants.

In the past, there was no such system in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. It is conceivable that the officialdom was overstaffed and overstaffed, and they all took money and did not work.

If you hang around romantic places all day long, or just recite poems and compose essays, then you really don’t do anything serious. This kind of atmosphere must be stopped, and if you don’t work, then you don’t want to be an official. This is the way to pass the test. original intention.This is also the purpose of Zhang Juzheng's enactment of the Examination Law, and the effect is very good. Zhang Juzheng's punishment is also very strict. Any officials who are dismissed will never be used.

In the few years when Zhang Juzheng presided over the reform, Ming Dynasty dismissed more than [-]% of the officials, all because of passing the examination.

These people will never be used, how could they be willing?How many people were involved in these deposed officials? How powerful would it be if these people gathered together? Zhang Juzheng could be suppressed when he was alive, but how could he be suppressed when Zhang Juzheng was dead?Who will suppress it?The counter-reformists counterattacked, and Emperor Wanli was also fooled.

I guess I got old and reacted, and came up with mining tax and the like, but the result was not good, and I was sprayed for a lifetime.

Zhu Houzhao will not be concerned about this, he has plenty of time to spend, unless he dies halfway, if he does not die, then this system will become the norm.As for dying halfway, that's God's will. I don't care about the flood after I die, so let me do whatever I want!But as long as you are alive, you have to keep going.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Houzhao naturally attached great importance to the success of the examination, and basically went to the governor's office to watch every day.

The whole Liaodong was in turmoil, and the atmosphere of being overstaffed suddenly changed drastically. Officials were busy handling various things every day, resulting in a doubled increase in efficiency.Of course, there are still some people who don't think so. These people were dismissed by Zhu Houzhao without hesitation, and adopted the same method as Zhang Juzheng. After the dismissal, four words were added, that is, they will never be used.

Riding on the horse, breathing the slightly cool air, Zhu Houzhao smiled. Autumn is the harvest season, and it has been three months since he came to Liaodong in a blink of an eye.

In the past three months, what Zhu Houzhao was most impressed with was spending money like running water, followed by the changes in Guangning City. At this time, Guangning City really looked like a big city, very prosperous, even outside Guangning City. The outer city appeared, distributed along the gate of the city, basically all business shops, Zhu Houzhao naturally would not allow them to build in violation of regulations.

So a new commercial street was planned. It was fine to buy land and build shops, and pay money. Although the income was not much, it was still a lot.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want this money, and gave it directly to the governor's office in Liaodong. At the same time, it can be regarded as a source of income for the governor's office. Shops are even more expensive.Zhu Houzhao believed that this policy would become popular in Ming Dynasty without even pushing it.

When they promote the integration of government and gentry, and the local government has no tax revenue, they will definitely extend their hands to this.

This is the business tax in disguise. Of course, there is still a long way to go, and Zhu Houzhao is not in a hurry. Take your time. You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.

"Your Highness, we're here." Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was still riding forward, Liu Jin quickly stopped the horse, then raised her head and said to Zhu Houzhao.

Glancing at Liu Jin who was leading the horse for him, Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment, looked up, and sure enough he had arrived, turned over and got off the horse, looked at the people who came to greet him, Zhu Houzhao walked over with a smile: "Okay, everything Excuse me!" Looking at Qian Fan standing beside him, Zhu Houzhao asked, "Are you ready?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, everything is ready." Qian Fan quickly replied: "Three stoves can be lit today, and the next few stoves will be lit within half a month."

Zhu Houzhao nodded in satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "It's so good, thank you, Liu Jin, write it down, give wine and meat today, and double the salary this month."

Qian Fan also showed a smile on his face when he heard this, which means that His Royal Highness is very satisfied with his work, which is better than any reward.Qian Fan hurriedly led the way: "His Royal Highness, this way please." He turned around and led the way.

As soon as the group walked out, the news of Zhu Houzhao's reward spread, followed by huge cheers, and Zhu Houzhao also laughed.

Today is the opening day of the Liaodong Steelworks, officially starting steelmaking. Zhu Houzhao came here to take a look. Of course, the main purpose was to give warmth to the people below.The appearance of the prince is a great encouragement to them. The prince's approval after more than three months of hard work is very important to these people.

"Go!" Zhu Hou looked at the blast furnace in the distance, smiled and said to Qian Fan beside him, "Let me see the steel you smelt."
