Chapter 263: The Emperor's Palace Test Policy Questions, Great Mathematicians' Reference(1/2)
Zhu Qiyu received Yu Qian’s memorials, and those old notes were indeed very interesting.
Zhu Di was a very great monarch, and this is an undeniable fact. After all, this is the only one who was able to rebel and invade the capital to become an emperor throughout the long history.
But Zhu Di is obviously not a qualified businessman, and this is not a big disadvantage.
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not very good at financial affairs, and if they were good at it, they would not be able to die of poverty.
The emperors of the Song Dynasty were very good at this, for example, Zhao Gou was the feces bully in Lin'an City.
What is a feces?
[Deshou's book is called "Chen Chen", and Yi Ding still has three thousand poems. There is no need to ask about lantern brocade, and the Yiyi Palace flag is inserted into the manure boat. - Zhou Mi, a native of the Southern Song Dynasty, "Qi Dongye Yu"]
Deshou Palace is the palace where Zhao Gou lived after he abdicated to his adopted son.
Manure is a kind of scarce commodity. Zhao Gou worked as a manure bully in Lin'an City to make money, and the manure turned into fertilizer and sold it to the countryside.
Zhao Gou also did a lot of things to get rich, such as real estate, one of the myths of getting rich, and was in Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty, and was engaged in real estate. For example, Qingjiu, one of the myths of getting rich, and was engaged in money among the people.
"The Way to Make Money Song Gaozong"
The memorial sent by Yu Qian describes the old events during the Yongle period.
During the Yongle period, Xiaogan immigrated to Sichuan in Macheng, Hubei, forming a group of Hubei people in Sichuan.
They regularly hold fellow villagers' meetings in Sichuan and elect a representative who is from Hubei in Shu. When they go home to visit their relatives, they originally miss their hometown, but there is nothing wrong with it.
But over time, these fellow villagers' associations have become a fixed organization, commonly known as Machengyou.
After Macheng's appointment, the representative will carry letters in addition to cargo.
Merchants quickly established a private agency called the Minxin Bureau by using such private letters and goods.
They are similar to the station in Daming, and are specifically responsible for business contacts. More importantly, the distribution of goods and the exchange of funds are all borne by the Civil Information Bureau.
For example, the salt in the Ming Dynasty is an important certificate of funds' exchange.
The Ming Dynasty's salt intake was an important means to supplement grain and grass in the border areas and regulate goods from the north and south.
If southern merchants transport grain to border areas, is it impossible for Shanxi merchants?
Of course, Shanxi merchants can.
They took advantage of the Ming Dynasty's weak control over the Hetao area, used the farming harvest in Hetao, and transported it to Datong Prefecture for salt transfer, and sent it to the south in exchange for goods from the south.
But Shanxi merchants soon discovered why they had to deliver their food to Datong Prefecture?
Isn’t it good to just fake salt guilds and send them to the south?
Since then, there have been many privately carved salt citation workshops throughout Shanxi. The salt citations they made are like fakes to change, making them fakes to be real.
Shi Heng was appointed as the general of Datong Prefecture. Seeing the salt sent by the court rotting into Curry, no one accepted it. However, these merchants took advantage of the Yellow River and made a fortune in the Hetao area, which was only rich in the wealthy place.
After thinking about it, General Shi, who was good at making money, directly led his troops to collect taxes.
The destruction of the salt induction method is just like the destruction of the treasure money method at that time.
It was not that the Ming Dynasty court itself did not understand financial affairs, and there were some bold guys who were in the middle to make profits and make a fortune.
Yu Qian asked for an order to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Zhu Qiyu proposed an order to ask Yu Qian to let go of his hands to check. How far has he found?
Find the palace and the emperor's head! You must also find out the matter inside and out!
Zhu Qiyu is not Zhu Di. He doesn't have that much face. He can keep such a big stall as the Ming Dynasty without paying the grain rent.
The emperors paid the valley rent to maintain the operation of the precise structure of the imperial court. They actually wanted to avoid taxes and evade taxes. How could they spare them?
"Your Majesty, Xu Youzhen reported that Zhang Qiu's canal has been managed." Xing'an handed Xu Youzhen's memorial to Your Majesty.
Xu Youzhen couldn't wait to go back to him, and now he has the ability to control water.
Logically speaking, Zhu Qiyu should give Xu Youzhen a silver medal in the merits of water control and the great merits of hundreds of thousands of people.
But no one in the court asked him for reward cards because everyone knew that the emperor did not like Xu Youzhen.
Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "Let him be the censor of the river inspector, inspect the Yellow River, and then give a memorial to govern the Yellow River."
"As for Chen Yi, if you let him come to Beijing, you will still be the right censor."
Xing'an understood this. Since ancient times, the Yellow River has been clear and the saints said that Xu Youzhen wanted to return to the court?
Simple, peaceful and clear.
Zhu Qiyu has been releasing Chen Yi as an official for more than a year. Chen Yi said the wrong thing at a private banquet. At that time, Zhu Qiyu was about to abolish Zhu and call him the title of Emperor. He had major political activities.
Now the grass on Zhu Zhaomen’s grave is three feet tall.
Let Chen Yi go back to Beijing to have a look!
The Great Emperor, is he like to be in the sky, has he made great strides, and is he floating in the air?
Zhu Qiyu always cared about Chen Yi and He Zhang's words.
Let the emperor be blindly arrogant and misunderstand the public power of the imperial power as different from me, and then turn into Zhu Qizhen's appearance, and eventually make mistakes.
Zhu Qiyu needs to be vigilant when destroying the government affairs, no matter what the emperor gives.
Zhu Qiyu will definitely punch him hard when he is carrying the emperor's order!
Let them know that the emperor's orders need to be strictly enforced and must not be doubled.
"How is they managing the Zhangqiu section canal? Is it really not broken for thirty years?" Zhu Qiyu asked curiously, is it true? How did it do it?
Xu Youzhen cherishes her life very much and will not joke about such things.
Xing'an took a piece of paper, outlined a few simple strokes and said, "Your Majesty, please see, this is the Zhangqiu section canal, and it is the most dangerous place on the canal."
"Xu Youzhen and Chen Yi have done nothing for more than a year. They have built a stone gate and a channel."
"Every year, when the autumn and winter dry seasons are in the dry season, the gates are dropped, repaired, and the rivers in the Zhangqiu section are silted and the gates are opened, so that the silt canals will be cleaned and repaired."
"This is the method of water control that is worse than scattering me."
Zhu Qiyu looked at it for a long time and found that Xu Youzhen had a bad political awareness, but she had many wonderful ideas about water control. It was not a shame to put him in a position in river management.
He nodded and said, "Send a eunuch to Tongzhou to take a boat south and see if it is done well. If it is true as the memorial says, it will be included in the chart of the river-Pinghai for reference for future generations.
”
"Your Majesty, it's time to go to the palace for an examination. The scholars are almost here." Xing'an bowed and said.
The imperial examination is to select officials for the country, which is a major event for the country.
Zhu Qiyu specially added a calculation subject to the palace examination, but this exam is not included in the overall examination ranking.
He brought the twelve crowns and put on the crown robes, and went out of the open Tai'an Palace.
The car was already waiting in front of the door, and Hu Yi, as the Minister of Rites, naturally had to wait outside the door, while Jiang Yuan, as the chief examiner, was also waiting with all the examiners.
Zhu Qiyu got on the car, and Hu Yi and Jiang Yuan got on the car as well.
Xing'an handed a volume of imperial edict to Hu Yi, which was the palace examination policy this time.
In front of Fengtian Hall, two rows of Han generals held the sun and moon flags, and were clamoring under the warm wind of early summer.
Outside the Ming Dynasty Fengtian Gate, countless Ming Dynasty tribute soldiers were waiting outside the door.
The tributes are not necessarily just the tributes of the past. There will also be some tributes from the previous ones, because of some irresistible reasons, such as Dingyou, illness, diarrhea, etc., who cannot be tested in the palace because of some irresistible reasons.
Wu Jing is a juren from Zhejiang this year. He has learned the rules of the game on this land for thousands of years, and Wu Jing is no exception.
He is a hard-working student and is over thirty years old this year.
After he passed the Juren, he had been in Beijing for ten consecutive years, but he failed many times. This year, he finally passed the exam in a thousand years.
After passing the imperial examination and becoming a tribute scholar, it is basically equivalent to being a Jinshi. Even if he is the worst, he is still from the same Jinshi, right?
He has nearly ten years of work experience. He is responsible for land tax and taxation in the province in the Zhejiang Provincial Administration and Envoy. He is proficient in arithmetic and is from Hangzhou.
The reason why he has not been able to pass the Jinshi for more than ten years is that he fell in love with a subject that he did not pay attention to in this era, that is, mathematics.
For more than ten years, he has been working hard to collect mathematical works from all generations and study mathematical science.
This is also an important means for him to be responsible for land tax and taxation in the Zhejiang Provincial Administration and the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Revenue.
The gate of Zhuhong, a squat-high, is still tightly closed.
The shadow of the corona pointed to the time of Chen, accompanied by the rise of the rising sun, a sound of drums and music came from all around, and the gate of Chengtian Gate slowly opened.
The tributes standing by the Jinshui Bridge River passed through Fengtian Gate, and under the care of the Jinyiwei, they went to the Dan Bi in the square to wait under the search of the Jinwu Captain and the Great Han General.
The document reading officers and document receiving officers headed by the cabinet minister Chen Xun, as well as dozens of deacons, stood on the Danbao, and everyone was waiting for the emperor's arrival.
In the palace examination, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was the chief examiner, otherwise how could he be called the emperor's disciple?
Chen Xun came from Wenyuan Pavilion with his cabinet. He brought the documentary reading officer, the documentary receiving officer, the documentary seal officer, the documentary chief officer, the official title of the documentary, the supervisory officer, the promotion officer, the inspector, the inspector, the supply officer
A total of 17 people were responsible for this palace examination.
At the moment, Zhu Qiyu's car finally arrived in front of Chengtian Gate. In the car, Zhu Qiyu and Hu Yi talked about his meeting with Liu Qi.
Hu Yi expressed deep concern about this and talked about Emperor Taizu Gao, and once advocated the importance of going to the dynasty, going to the dynasty, going to the dynasty, and going to the dynasty. This is the law of the ancestors, and His Majesty boldly does it.
