Starting From Bandits, My Younger Brother Is More Than A Million

Kyoto, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

More than ten days have passed since the last banquet, and the time has come to the end of February.

In the past ten days, no matter whether it is the officials or the major families in the capital, they have been completely honest.

No one in the court would dare to block him anymore, and the city of Kyoto has returned to its former prosperity.

The turmoil in the upper class did not bring any negative impact on the life of the lower class.

On the contrary, because of several waves of cleansing of the land vessels, the life of ordinary people has become much easier without knowing it.

Without those corrupt officials, without those aristocratic families who devour the people's fat and anointing, the life of the people will only be better.

Not to mention other places, at least the people of Kyoto have completely accepted the existence of the new emperor.

The common people don't care who is the emperor.

Whoever can feed everyone, who can make everyone live a good life - whoever is a good emperor.

Obviously, no matter how cruel Lu Qi was thought by officials and aristocratic families, in the hearts of the common people, Lu Qi was a good emperor.

And this is exactly what Lu Qi wanted.

However, there are pros and cons to everything.

The previous cleansing was too ruthless, with too much force all of a sudden, more than half of the officials in Kyoto were killed by Lu Qi.

Even if there are a few people from Guo Jia and three thousand students from the Imperial College to fill the vacancy, the manpower is still not enough.

During this period of time, the officials of the DPRK and China wished to split themselves in half for use.

be lazy?

Who dares to be lazy now?

Everyone knows that the new emperor is a lord with no taboos, and he never considers the consequences of doing things.

He has already proved to everyone with the knife in his hand that if he does not follow the facts, he absolutely does not recommend killing all the officials.

So even if he exhausted himself to death on the post, no official dared to be lazy.

But Lu Qi didn't care about this matter. In the past few days, he was discussing with Mr. Chen about reopening the imperial examination.

Reopening the imperial examination is not something that can be done with a single sentence.

The imperial examination system had been suspended for several years in the previous Song Dynasty.

Now reopening, there are many things to pay attention to.

Fortunately, Master Chen is best at these things. After working non-stop for a month, he finally got everything ready.

Because of the special circumstances this time, the imperial examination process was also treated specially.

After deliberation, Chen Fuzi decided to conduct the children's examination, the courtyard examination, the township examination, the general examination and the palace examination together.

before that.

The children's examination is held once a year, and the time is variable. Each county will take care of it by itself.

The college examination is also held by the academies in various counties on their own. It is held twice every three years, and the time is set in August.

The township examination takes the prefectural city as the unit and is held once a year in April. Those who pass the examination can be qualified to participate in the general examination.

The general examination is held in the capital, only once every three years, and qualified applicants from all over the country can go to Beijing to catch up with the examination.

Therefore, the scholars who are qualified to go to Beijing to rush for the exam are the ones who fail the exam.

And the high school students in the examination are already Jinshi, and as Jinshi, even the worst ones can become a county magistrate.

But the test is not the end, the end is the palace test.

The palace examination was held in the palace, and only those who passed the examination were eligible to face the emperor's final examination.

When the time comes, the emperor will come up with the questions himself, and then divide all the Jinshi into two lists.

This is A and II A.

Among them, there is a high probability that the first-class Jinshi will stay in Kyoto and enter the Imperial Academy as officials, and most of the second-class Jinshi will be assigned to serve as officials outside Kyoto.

And the top three of the first-class Jinshi are commonly known as the No. 1 Scholar Tanhua.

According to the formal process, it is impossible for this set to go down without a few years.

Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a ten-year cold window.

But now the situation is special, so Lu Qi decided to let Master Chen take the five exams together.

Now it is the end of February, and after the imperial decree is issued, children's examinations and hospital examinations will be held nationwide from March.

In April, the township examinations will be held in various prefectures and cities.

In May, the general examination and palace examination will be held in Kyoto.

In this way, within three months at most, the vacancies of court officials will be filled.

But even so, we still have to wait a month.

According to the current workload of the imperial court, I am afraid that many officials will be exhausted in the past three months.

Therefore, Lu Qi still has to find a way.

But before thinking of a way, there are two more important things to solve.

The first is the theater harvested from the four great families.

In the past few days, Guo Jia and others have finished counting all the spoils.

Now, Guo Jia is standing in the Jinluan Hall to report the matter to Lu Qi.

"My lord, after an inventory, the total amount of silver obtained from the raids of the four great aristocratic families is more than 300 million taels, and there is also more than 20 million taels of gold."

Even though he is the emperor now, the younger brothers still call Own the same in private.

0………seeking flowers…………

Guo Jia and the others are still the lord, Ziyan and the others are still the son, and Zhao Daqianda and others are still Dage.

This is the difference between closeness and sparseness.

It is the exclusive title of the little brothers, and others cannot enjoy it.

The exchange ratio between gold and silver is one to ten, which means that a total of more than 500 million silver has been seized.

Compared with the 130 million taels of silver that Lu Qi spent to deal with the four great families, it can be regarded as a big profit.

But Lu Qi still frowned and said, "So few?"

This is not the Landcraft Versailles, it is indeed too small.

Much less than expected.

The four great aristocratic families have a long history, and each of them can be said to be as rich as an enemy.

But let alone one family now, even if the four families add up, they have nothing to do with the four words "rich and invincible".

You must know that the previous 130 million taels was obtained only by copying half of the officials in the court.

How could the dignified four great families only have such a little money.

Guo Jia continued: "It is indeed a little small, but the four great families have a lot of real estate, fertile land, real estate, commercial banks, and antiques, calligraphy, paintings and jewelry at home, etc. There are also a lot of them. The total amount of this part should be about one billion taels of silver. .”

"Even if these real properties are added, it doesn't match their identities?" Lu Xiao wondered.

"According to my subordinates, I'm afraid that the property we got from the house raid this time is only a very small part of the real assets of the four great families, and my subordinates estimate that they should have hidden their assets elsewhere.

w Guo Jia guessed.

Lu Qi nodded, and this was the only possibility.

These so-called great families, in order to ensure the succession of the family in case of accidents, will definitely keep a hand.

"Sigh, it's a pity. If I knew it, I wouldn't have killed so quickly. I should have handed it over to Jin Yi to be tortured." Lu Fu felt a little regretful.

Jin Yiwei's methods are absolutely trustworthy, as long as people fall into their hands, there must be a way to knock their mouths open.

It's a pity that before Lu Qi patronized and vented his anger, killing was a happy killing.

It's too late to regret now.

"Don't worry, my lord. The four great families have a large number of people. Even if we wiped out their ancestral lands, the people in Kyoto that have been cleaned up still have a lot of remnants in various places. If they really have backers, these remnants may not There is no one who doesn't know." Guo Jia said.

Lu Qi nodded, and then ordered to Guo Jia: "You are right, let Jin Yiwei seize the time to investigate this matter, and track down the whereabouts of the remnants of the four great families."

"Yes." Guo Jia said softly. .
