"Is your reaction in the front court a little too big today?" Min Ruoxi asked gently rubbing her husband's shoulders and curiously. "Xiao Wu was a little scared. When she came to have dinner with me at noon, she was still scared. She said that she had never seen you get such a big temper. Actually, it's not a big deal, right?"

"Looking at the surface, it is naturally not a big deal." Qin Feng shook his head and said, "But if you think deeply, you will feel chilled. Xi'er, many things, most people, including those themselves, may not have thought of the powerful relationship, but if this continues, one day they will realize this. When they realize this, they will apply the energy in their hands to the extreme. Take our Ming Dynasty merchant class as an example. They can now influence the policy formulation of the court. This is still in the central and local areas, they can do it more easily."

Min Ruoxi smiled and said, "According to its origin, shouldn't this account be counted on your head? Under your instruction, local officials are only economic theory. The economic development is good, and the tax collection is more, and the local wealth is the most important assessment basis. You are not allowed to charge too much tax from farmers. Now the farmers in the Ming Dynasty are probably the lightest burden in history. In such a situation, how can local officials not rely on those merchants to make their business bigger and stronger, and then collect more taxes to make their resume shine and gain an upward level?"

Qin Feng was stunned for a while, then laughed, reached out and scraped Min Ruoxi's nose, and said, "The officials in the front court probably thought so in their hearts, but they didn't dare to tell me. Things always have two sides, and they have advantages and disadvantages. This is a matter of no way. After all, we can only seek a balance in such development. No matter what, the local area has become rich and the people have money. This is a good thing, don't you think?"

"Aren't you afraid that the merchants' power will be too powerful to rebel?" Min Ruoxi asked with a smile.

"It is said that scholars rebelled, but they will not succeed in ten years. In the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, merchants want to rebel, but they will not succeed. Someone must follow them. Those who have rebelled have never had enough food or clothes to wear, and are forced to go to battle with their heads. They say that they have enough food and clothing, but they have never heard of rebelling. You let the people live a good life and carry a knife to rebel? They are not that stupid. Xi'er, in my opinion, the people are the most realistic. If you let them have food, clothes and clothes, and have a stable life, they will think of your goodness. Anyway, he will commit your rebellion."

"Since that's the case, why did you have such a big reaction this time?"

"It's so ridiculous!" Qin Feng sighed: "The power of money is beyond your imagination. As mentioned earlier, merchants in the Ming Dynasty could not rebel, but they can use money and interests to kidnap local governments and courts to achieve their goals. The underground gambling house that appeared this time, to be honest, has not yet become a climate, but you can also regard it as an integral part of the merchant class."

Min Ruoxi pondered for a moment and said, "Is the last incident of the Three Buddhas a typical example of this kind of thing?"

"Yes." Qin Feng nodded, "They wanted to use the huge benefits of the Three Buddhas to make the court change their policies towards the Three Buddhas so that they can gain greater benefits."

"They have armed forces overseas, and it seems they want to cut off this black hand." Min Ruoxi's hand had increased unconsciously, and Qin Feng screamed.

Qin Feng shook his head: "Your plan is a quick knife to cut the mess. It cannot solve the problem and will intensify the conflicts. Now I ask the Political Affairs Hall to plan this matter, and it must be curbed from the system, rather than using a knife. We cannot just think about the present and not the future. The merchant class has become a climate in our Ming Dynasty. They have already had strong energy in politics, and they are even more powerful in money. And our Ming court has also had a symbiotic relationship with them. If we really want to continue with one knife, it will hurt others and yourself."

Min Ruoxi thought about the giant industry associations under the Ministry of Commerce, and thought about the Ming merchants who were galloping overseas, holding a knife in one hand and goods in the other. This was the case. The Ming Dynasty factories were undergoing earth-shaking changes. With the increasing maturity of steam engines, they entered more and more fields. Mechanization brought about explosive growth of goods. Now, there are already a situation in the Ming Dynasty where there are too many goods to be sold, resulting in price declines. According to Qin Feng, if this continues, inflation will inevitably be inevitable. After several days of Su Can and Geng Jingming, Min Ruoxi finally figured out what kind of thing inflation is.

The Ming Dynasty is still basically maintaining price stability, which is because the vast market opened up by merchants overseas and the capture of Daqi is no longer just a political need, but also an economic need. The Ming Dynasty gathers mountains of goods and needs to find a dumping area.

"There are always more solutions than problems. Since you see the problem, so many wise people in the court can always find solutions." Min Ruoxi said.

"That's right, there are always more solutions than problems." Qin Feng was silent for a moment, and then said: "During this period, I took the admission list of the Beijing University to see."

"What's the point of this?" Min Ruoxi said: "Even though the students of the Capital University are all future pillars of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to stand in front of you, it's probably not possible to do it in a short time. Those who are astonishing and brilliant as Murong Yuan and Lin Shu are a very rare one."

"I don't see this." Qin Feng said: "I see the origins and origins of these students. Do you know that more than 99% of the students in this period of the Beijing University are either rich or noble."

Min Ruoxi changed her color and said, "You said that the Capital University was doing something bad when admitting students? This is a serious crime that can be beheaded."

The Beijing University School was basically the place for the training of reserve officials in the Ming Dynasty. Its function was similar to the imperial examinations in the past. There were countless officials who lost their heads due to the imperial examinations. It was no wonder that Min Ruoxi changed his expression when she heard this.

"I thought so at first." Qin Feng smiled bitterly: "But after secretly investigating through several channels, the conclusion was that the exam was fair, just and open. These people were admitted by their real skills."

"How could this happen?" Min Ruoxi was a little dumbfounded.

"It is difficult for a poor family to have a noble son!" Qin Feng murmured: "It has only been so many years. It has only been more than ten years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it has become like this."

"Is there really nothing to cheat?" Min Ruoxi still disbelief.

Qin Feng shook his head, "There is no need to cheat at all. Although we are already popularizing education within our ability, most people are just literate. Every time we go up, the money and hard work will be paid more. The money is not enough, and hard work is hard to say. Most ordinary people still do not realize the importance of education, but the wealthy and powerful class of the Ming Dynasty have long realized that they have been cultivating their children in a purposeful way. These children have won too much from the starting line than ordinary children. Do you still remember the students I told you last time that they entered the Ming Academy of Sciences? Since childhood, their families have accumulated a lot of money to let them do things they are interested in. Can ordinary people do these?"

Min Ruoxi shook her head.

"Others are richer than you, but others work harder than you, so it's hard for poor families to have noble children. I'm really right!" Qin Feng said.

"Since it is a fair and just selection, I'm afraid there is no way to forcefully interfere." Min Ruoxi shook her head and said.

"Yes, you cannot forcefully interfere. The result is that the more you go, the more you enter the core circle of the Ming Dynasty, the fresh blood of the upper class will become less and less. Perhaps in dozens or hundreds of years, the entire court officials can climb up with relatives. Do you believe it?" Qin Feng said.

Min Ruoxi wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. Thinking about it, this result would be a bit terrible. If such a situation really happened, the ascending channel of the Ming Dynasty would be firmly controlled by some people. The key is that they can still do it openly and the emperor can be easily emptied and become a decoration. In Qin Feng's hands, such problems naturally would not occur, and it would not even be possible in Qin Wu's hands, but what about the future? It is impossible for every emperor of the Qin family to be very talented, right?

"I asked Le Gong to check it privately. Except for the Ming Military Academy, other major colleges and universities have the same problems. Even in the Ming Military Academy, it is only 50% or 50%." Qin Feng said.

"What should I do?"

"I thought of a way. People in the Ministry of Education are discussing that they are reserved for a certain number of places every year to recruit poor families!" Qin Feng said: "If you meet certain conditions, you can get a significant reduction in admissions. The court needs people from different classes to balance. Secondly, you are thinking of ways to evaluate officials. You can't cheat elsewhere. I can still cheat in this place."

"Once this policy is announced, it may cause some shock, right?"

"It doesn't matter." Qin Feng said lightly: "It's a war period, and such policies will not attract too many people's attention. Those who know the profound meaning will shut up and dare not say anything."—
