Chapter 142: Hair without Head
"No way!"
Huang Daozhou gritted his teeth, he couldn't wait like this anymore, he kept his head and didn't keep his hair, such a policy, that is, everyone is like a barbarian, with short hair, then what kind of world will it become.
It is necessary to make an example of a hundred, for this kind of disobedient speech, what frightened Huang Daozhou the most was that the elder who had a white face and a beard and had shaved off his hair was a big rebel, but he let it go without any waves.
What does this mean? Explain that this kind of policy is not "new" for these elders!
After staying in the imperial capital for a long time, Huang Daozhou also found that the living standards of the laborers at the bottom have indeed improved greatly, and after eating and drinking, most people will not run around at will and disturb the eyes of the old men, but what he can't help but notice is that after arriving in the imperial capital that day, one of the laborers who moved the salute for him was a person with short hair.
At that time he whispered: "Tartar? ”
But the man said in a proficient Chinese dialect: "I am a local." ”
At that time in Mongolia, due to the so-called system problems, a large number of Mongolians came to work in the Ming Dynasty, the most famous is naturally Yuan Chonghuan's Mongolian Mangui, that is a proper traitor, of course, with the situation at the time, after the development of firearms, pure nomads have rushed to the streets, it is not an uncommon thing, in terms of interests, the Horqin tribe who took refuge in my Qing Dynasty is the biggest traitor.
The Zodiac Zhou began to connect in the imperial capital, and it was also surprisingly smooth, and the reason for this undercurrent was very simple, just after the New Year.
The Chinese New Year is a time for everyone to compete for happiness, and they can usually pretend to be forced to slap their faces, but when it comes to the New Year, it is clear how many New Year's goods and how many new clothes they have changed.
No one can say that the elders are not good for the civil servants under their rule, the annual allowance should be given, and there are a lot of things that should be issued, and even those who are still "studying" are also distributed according to the level of officials, which is ten times stronger than what the Ming Dynasty gave.
However, the Bing Jing sent by the original local officials is gone, and the gray income of various embezzlements has also been hit, which makes people dissatisfied.
If this is the case, you can still be patient, look through the ancient books, and you can always find the time when the new dynasty was first established, and exert great efforts to make the country prosperous, be full of vigor, and severely crack down on corruption.
The Ming Dynasty was ruthless at the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang even used the trick of peeling the skin, but then, you cow, we can't afford to provoke it, when it comes to your grandson, we will be passive and slack off, don't work and don't do things, look at you crying, deliberately let Zhu Di become the emperor, this person naturally wants to repay the peach, and the flowers are poor.
By now, the officials of the Ming Dynasty have become systematically corrupt and habitually corrupt, even the disaster relief funds, and even the money to mobilize laborers to defend the city have to be embezzled!
The trigger for events was simple.
According to the original logic, these people will be the most loyal followers of the new regime, as well as active supporters of the expansion of the south.
What they don't understand is that exercising at the bottom is the foundation for future promotion.
Of all the people in Zhongenko, Wu Gengtian was the poorest.
The teacher he worships is an old Xiucai with two knives, this Xiucai is still a perennial old boy, the examiner sees him pitiful, and he is rewarded with the title of Xiucai after a few years, and within a few years, the thief will break in, the Ming Dynasty is finished, and the old Xiucai is also killed.
Playing chess with a stinky chess basket, the more you play, the more stinky it becomes, and with a defeated dog teacher, then the possibility of hitting the street is even greater.
Wu Gengtian is in his thirties, and he can win the show, but it is not his own ability, and the ability to write articles can be angry with the master, but what he has entrusted is that the Tartars who have come and gone many times have entered the customs, slaughtered the people, and killed a lot of Wu Gengtian's competitors.
However, Wu Gengtian's situation has not changed, and the chaos of the Ming Dynasty did not help a poor and uneducated old talented soldier, and even in the family, he could not stand up and be a man.
Wu Gengtian's father-in-law is a businessman, and his original hope for this son-in-law has also turned into contempt, and from time to time he asks him to simply give his own hand.
Helplessly needed the support of his father-in-law, Wu Gengtian had to do it hard, but fortunately, his father-in-law had a lot of business, and one of them could barely convince himself.
That is copying books, and there are also some forbidden book businesses under the rule of my father-in-law, which is a good thing with the highest profit margin.
When the new dynasty opened Enke, Wu Gengtian was eager to try it and wanted to try it, but the old man, in the spirit of a businessman's prudence, still blocked this behavior, and even said the words, if you dare to go, don't come back.
Merchants may be greedy, but businessmen who are too greedy often do not live long, but they are timid, and may not be rich, but they will be longer.
Wu Gengtian still went, the travel expenses were all self-raised, and he couldn't even afford to live in a large house, but fortunately, the elders arranged the shop, but the food was taken care of, and Wu Gengtian ate dry cakes for many days.
Life is so poor, for a person surnamed Wu, it is not even easy to come up with a name, whether it is called smooth or rich, it is meaningless.
Fortunately, it seems to have been transferred.
The reason for the transfer is very simple, Wu Gengtian found that the content of the examination was so in line with him, and a few years of humiliating copying career made him more able to adapt to the new imperial examination, and even the argument could be talked about effortlessly and eloquently.
The nature of the argument is closer to the thinking of those who are close to the grassroots, after all, the idea of this examination is closer to the actual operation.
The imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty, although there were suspects who led the way and manipulated the imperial examination like the Fushe Society, but the face was still maintained well, at least Wu Gengtian's examination results were not good, and there were objective reasons.
Even if he passed Enke, Wu Gengtian's ranking was not high, probably it was a mid-range position, and it was just assembled on a 100-point system, but it was enough for him to be arranged in a good position, the sub-inspection office.
The work of the sub-inspection office is tedious, and it is closely watched by various elders every day, in fact, it is the work of applying for the issue number of various publications, which has naturally become a figure sought after by booksellers, especially recently the elders will bid for the copyright of a batch of comic books every month.
These comic books belong to a large number of existences, and they are also divided into several grades, with all kinds of entertaining and educational, humorous and witty telling the truth of life...... There are also bloody comics such as Dragon Ball that are purely fighting and funny, as for the three major migrant comics, because they are too complicated, they are still difficult to market, and they are mainly cultivating the market.
Of course, those very loving "special edition" comics are naturally sold by some hidden channels, which is not enough for Wu Gengtian to control.
Wu Gengtian is a transitional figure, as long as he looks at the expressions of those booksellers every day, and sends back the results within seven working days, as for those booksellers who have their brains open, and contact a large number of scholars to reclaim the virgin land of comics, the review of those things naturally needs to slowly find a suitable system, of course, Wu Gengtian can't take such a job now, he mainly reviews the public examination books is enough to be patted to the comfort of every day.
Of course, there are many unsatisfactory things, although the personal living conditions have been upgraded to a level, at least the daily wine and meat can still be guaranteed, but the father-in-law's family is trembling.
Saying that the virtuous son-in-law is really how to satisfy the father-in-law's family, all kinds of benefits are always wanted, but how to find a way to embezzle in this newly established bureau is also very testing, but there are elders coming in and out every day, asking for the books that the elders want to come up with.
There are people from all walks of life who want to get ahead, and the fame that the elders seek is as normal as breathing.
One of Wu Gengtian's "colleagues" was bewitched by his fellow villagers, believing that corruption itself was the acquiescence of the elders, and that he was an official of the same dynasty, so how could he really do it, it really didn't work, and he could still gather people to make trouble, and the elders could still arrest hundreds of villagers in the township.
As a result, Wu Gengtian saw with his own eyes what an elder occasionally muttered, the iron fist of the people's democratic dictatorship is powerful, and there are hundreds of various characters in that petty official's house, I thought that so many people, if it was before, the Ming Dynasty government would naturally not be able to act, and the law would not be responsible for the public, so it could only be allowed to be corrupt, and it could not be started.
But it only took ten minutes before and after, maybe even less than ten minutes, and the young and unpresentable junior, dressed in a training uniform, saluted: "Report to the chief, our team has completed the removal and arrest work, please instruct." ”
No one paid attention to the rest of the things, and Wu Gengtian only learned about it afterwards, and all the people who made trouble no longer knew where to go, that is, they didn't know whether to send them to Australia or further away.
Therefore, Wu Gengtian's current situation is both satisfactory and dissatisfied.
What is dissatisfied is his family, he is a Beijing official, but even after many generations of relatives come to the door, he can't even entertain him with good food and drink, and he can't arrange a good job.
In the end, they all refer to the words of pointing and scolding, what ungrateful, forgetting one's roots when being a big official, etc.
Wu Gengtian also hoped that he could serve his relatives well, and left with a smile, if he could, he also hoped to kill all the rich people in the world and seize the wealth into his own hands, at that time, what is it to give a little to his relatives?
But he's just a petty official.
The imperial capital is not easy.
Wu Gengtian's life is not good, mainly because of the problem of positioning.
In ancient times, the happy life of the upper echelons was piled up with the blood and tears of the low-level people, such as the castle of the prince and princess, how many farmers were needed to support them, but behind the superior life of Baoyu Daiyu, there were countless unhappy people.
If it is a later generation of people to compare, a man less than forty years old, married a wife, the father-in-law of the hometown can often send some fresh food to help, can afford a set of 100 square meters of four-bedroom in the imperial capital, although it requires a lot of monthly payment, but it can be eaten very moisturizing, and he is also a new star in the future of the system, which is already very cool.
However, in this era, it is important to pay attention to the group of servants and the contiguous houses, that is, in terms of values, it is required to have servants to serve, maids, and ...... It's going to have to be there anyway.
This is the great clash of values.
The troubles of the superior are always different from those of the inferior, and if they can be connected, they must be like saints and sages.
Wu Gengtian used to be troubled by his father-in-law, and now he is troubled by everyone in the family complaining that the official is too small, how can he not fight for the interests of the family when he is an official, you look at the little one of the family, after taking over his uncle's official in the county seat, he bought 180 acres of water to irrigate the field in one go.
During the Chinese New Year this year, my wife's younger brother came to the imperial capital, and he had to be a follower for Wu Gengtian, or he was a person in charge of things, and he had to manage people and money.
If Wu Gengtian had this ability, he would have passed.
However, the brother-in-law still had to deal with it, so Wu Gengtian thought of a way to introduce the brother-in-law to live in the imperial capital first.
This time, it's a bad thing.
At the beginning, the brother-in-law just used his name to eat and drink, and people saw that they still had to rely on Wu Gengtian to apply, so they took him for a meal.
But just like a wool can't point to a sheep, after a long time, people will be unhappy.
Imitating the experience of many later generations, there is one that all applications, especially enterprise applications, once there is no law, will become the cause of power rent-seeking, so the rules are also very simple, those booksellers can get a receipt, and the yamen will approve it within seven days, even if they do not agree, there must be a legitimate reason, and it will be completely cut off.
You can't refuse without a suitable reason.
Of course, the brother-in-law pits his brother-in-law, it's all a set, endless.
In fact, it is also simple, after the start of the new semester, another imperial examination will start a year later, and this imperial examination is not simple.
Following the Song system, but imitating later generations, first conducting a tribute examination in various places, and then entering Beijing for a re-examination, compared with the kind of frame a few years ago, this time the requirements are much higher, and the time to stay is much more.
In a word, the previous time Enke was to stabilize people's hearts and barely recruit a group of people, but below, each unit really needs to recruit new people.
As a result, all kinds of table-making, economic operating principles, and even the rudimentary knowledge of the operation of emerging agriculture and industry began to be released outward.
It can be said that many managerial positions are almost the same as those of later generations.
This is a combination of a national public examination and provincial examinations in several northern provinces, and about 3,000 positions have been released at one time, and the number of recruits is more than 5,000.
That's very exciting.
Of course, this kind of post is not the way in which hundreds of people sign up for that position in later generations, and if it really does, it will be messy, but it is calculated according to the unit system.
