Taiyuan.

Nie Xing left and returned soon.

"Your Majesty, this Taiyuan City seems to have a surname of Wang!"

His first words shocked Yang Rong and others.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him lightly and said, "Tell me carefully."

"It's also very simple." Nie Xing held out two fingers. "There is a Wang family in Taiyuan. His descendants are spread across all walks of life and almost monopolize the daily necessities of the people in Taiyuan."

"Among them, the two brothers Wang Zifeng and Wang Ziwen are the most outstanding. Wang Zifeng failed many provincial examinations, so he used his energy to enter the city of Taiyuan, and gradually became the head of the subordinate staff, controlling the administrative power of Taiyuan."

"And Wang Ziwen is born with a business acumen. The last time the prince held a tasting meeting to auction the exclusive rights to sell salt, the two brothers immediately and decisively sold off all the family property, and pooled the family's efforts to allow Wang Ziwen to auction the salt of Taiyuan Prefecture. With exclusive sales rights, I became a salt merchant in Taiyuan Prefecture!"

"In this way, Wang Zifeng controls the administrative power in the prefect's Yamen, while Wang Ziwen is responsible for doing business and making money. The two brothers complement each other and directly become the uncrowned king of the Sun Palace!"

Hearing this, Yang Rong, Xu Bin and others frowned.

"The Taiyuan Wang family is famous for being arrogant. Not to mention the Taiyuan magistrates who are transferred from time to time. Even the Jin Prince's Palace has to give them some face."

Nie Xing picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, and once again dropped a piece of bombshell news, which perfectly explained what a local snake in Taiyuan is.

According to common sense, Prince Jin's Mansion should be the biggest local snake in Taiyuan!

After all, the vassal kings in the early Ming Dynasty were powerful, had various preferential treatment and privileges, and even had heavy troops!

His Royal Highness the King of Jin of the Ming Dynasty was one of the kings of the enemy, and his reputation was no less prestigious than that of King Zhu Di of Yan!

Even though the power of the Jin Prince's Palace was greatly reduced due to the imperial court's repeated reductions of vassals, a lean camel was bigger than a horse. With his status as a nobleman of Tianhuang, what did the Jin Prince have to fear in Taiyuan Palace?

But who would have thought that the real local snake is this Wang family's son!

"How is this possible?" Yang Rong took the initiative to speak and refuted directly: "That Wang Zifeng is just a magistrate's office official. He doesn't even have a rank. He is not an official. He is just a low-ranking official. With his What controls the administrative power of Taiyuan Government Office?"

Yang Rong entered an official position from the imperial examination and then rose up all the way, so he could not accept that a low-ranking subordinate chief could control the administrative power of a government!

This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

Zhu Gaoxu sighed and said with a smile: "Yang Mianren, your knowledge is still too shallow. If it were Yang Shiqi, he would definitely not say such stupid things!"

Yang Rong: "???"

What?

shallow!

Your uncle!

How am I inferior to Yang Shiqi?

He, Yang Shiqi, is not from a professional background. No matter in which aspect, how is he superior to me?

Seeing Yang Rong's unconvinced look, the smile on Zhu Gaoxu's face became even wider.

"Are you not convinced? Then I will ask you a few questions."

“Who are the real people doing things in various local and state government offices?”

Yang Rong was startled when he heard this, and then he blurted out: "Subordinate official!"

"Then who is between the officials and the people?"

"Still a subordinate!"

Zhu Gaoxu spread his hands and asked with a smile: "Since you know the answer, do you understand it now?"

"Subordinate officials, this huge group of officials who are not officials, this indispensable role in the bureaucracy, this group of low-status desperadoes who dare to commit heinous crimes, they are the ones who really come into contact with the common people!"

I have to admit that these subordinates are really troublesome.

Guo Songtao, the founder of the Hunan Army, said: "Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, although the emperor has been called a monarch, his power is actually insufficient and he has to distribute it."

"Therefore, the Western Han Dynasty shared the world with the prime minister's relatives, the Eastern Han Dynasty shared the world with the eunuchs and celebrities, the Tang Dynasty shared the world with the Houhuan vassal towns, the Northern Song Dynasty shared the world with foreign countries, the Southern Song Dynasty shared the world with foreign countries, the Yuan Dynasty shared the world with the treacherous ministers and monks, and the Ming Dynasty shared the world with the prime ministers and eunuchs , this dynasty will share the world with Xu Shi."

The meaning of this passage is superficial and clear, but it can be said to point out the fundamental reason for the rise and fall of all dynasties!

The emperor of the Western Han Dynasty was controlled by his relatives, the prime minister, and eventually died at the hands of Wang Mang; the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty were controlled by the eunuchs and nobles, and eventually died due to eunuchs; Li and Tang enfeoffed military envoys, and eventually died at the hands of vassal towns; the two Song dynasties were weak, and both died at the hands of powerful enemies Surrounded by others; the political corruption of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, powerful ministers appeared one after another, and finally died at the hands of the treacherous minister Fanseng!

The Ming Dynasty did not die due to the cabinet with the power of prime minister, nor did it die due to eunuch eunuchs, but actually died due to the clique fighting among civil servants, so that the Manchu Qing Dynasty finally stole the country!

The subordinate officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty developed to the astonishing level of ruling the world with the emperor!

"As the saying goes, 'if a scholar has a title or salary, reputation is more important than profit; if an official does not have advancement, profit is more important than reputation'!"

"For you civilized officials who came from the imperial examinations, you have a bright and splendid future and greater political pursuits. Naturally, you value political performance and reputation more, because you have a career to go and there is room for advancement in your career!"

"But for subordinate officials, except for those who are particularly outstanding and can be promoted to officials through strict assessment, and who are only junior officials who cannot exceed the eighth or ninth rank, the vast majority of subordinate officials can only work as He's just a lowly official with no official career at all!"

"Furthermore, the salary of subordinate staff is generally low, and their salary is barely enough to solve the problem of food and clothing. This causes them to pay more attention to interests, not to care about reputation, and to act without scruples!"

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head, looked at Yang Rong seriously, and asked with a smile: "Low status, no future, and low salary. Add these series of factors together. Why do you think they don't try every means to grab wealth and prey on the common people?"

After Yang Rong heard these words, he was stunned.

Although he had noticed the existence of subordinate officials in the past, at that time Yang Rong was the first bachelor in the cabinet and the first close minister next to His Majesty the Emperor. Naturally, he looked down on these lowly subordinate officials.

But now when he heard His Highness the King of Han say this, Yang Rong suddenly took a breath of cold air.

In this way, the officialdom is inseparable from these subordinates, but they are caught in the communication between officials and the people, and their corruption is even more unscrupulous!

"Your Highness, King of Han, why is there such an official mess? Isn't there a complete solution?"

"Then Wang Zifeng is just a magistrate's office official. He doesn't even have a rank, but he can control the administrative power of Taiyuan Prefecture. Such a thing is too scary!"

"And this is only in Taiyuan Prefecture. No one can guarantee whether there will be a second and third Wang Zifeng in other prefectures!"

Yang Rong's worries are not unreasonable. If Taiyuan has the local snake Wang family, then there will be Li family and Zhou family in other prefectures!

These local snakes are the gentry in the local area, owning many land properties, and then controlling the administrative power of the state through their subordinates. Aren't they the local emperors who hide themselves in the court?

"Yang Mianren, think about it again, why did I risk the world's disapproval to attack Cheng Zhu and chop him severely?"

Yang Rong: "!!!"

Cheng Zhu!

Gentleman!

field!

Subordinate!

New learning!

These nodes were connected together, and a bright light flashed across Yang Rong's mind, and he looked at the Prince of Han in front of him in disbelief!

His Highness the King of Han really played a big game of chess without telling the world!

The chaos of subordinate officials in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is, to put it nicely, due to system problems. Officials cannot do without these subordinate officials!

But is it really inseparable?

It is thought that Cheng and Zhu monopolized the imperial examinations and the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and the "outstanding talents" selected through the imperial examination system were indeed people who had read poetry and books!

However, these talented people have no experience in governing, and they know nothing about "little things" such as official documents, money and food, etc. This ensures the necessity and indispensability of subordinate officials!

After all, they have been studying hard for more than ten years and focused all their energy on the imperial examination. Who would learn these "crooked ways" that are useless for the imperial examination?

In the world where Cheng and Zhu Da are popular, reading, learning calligraphy and reciting the articles of saints and sages are what students all over the world should do!

But now, the King of Han knocked Cheng Zhu into the dust and immediately began to promote the new learning!

Although Yang Rong didn't know what the new learning promoted by His Highness the King of Han was, there was one thing he could confirm!

Students who pass the imperial examinations in the future will no longer be the nerds they used to be!

At least the King of Han once clearly stipulated that arithmetic should be included in the content of the imperial examination!

In this way, subordinate officials do not have to exist, and officials can handle small matters such as official documents, money and food themselves!

Think about it from another angle, whether it was a new study or an imperial examination, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu was prepared to attack the gentry from the very beginning!

Seeing that Yang Rong finally figured it out, Zhu Gaoxu nodded happily.

"Yang Mianren, keep working hard. You are still far behind Yang Shiqi now!"

"Perhaps you don't want to see it either. In another three to five years, when Yang Shiqi returns to the court with his remarkable achievements in opening up new territories and expanding the territory of Nanyang, you will follow him and eat ashes again!"

Upon hearing this, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Yang Rong's expression changed drastically, and he was no longer as calm as before.

Could it be that I am really not as good as Yang Shiqi?

In terms of background, he came from a family of officials, and his family was deeply loved by his neighbors. However, Yang Shiqi was poor since he was a child, and even lost two of his fathers...

In terms of appearance, he passed the imperial examination in high school because he was "from a major", while Yang Shiqi traveled around Hubei and Hunan teaching to support his family, and only entered the Hanlin Academy by recommendation, serving as an editor...

In terms of qualifications, he has followed His Majesty the Emperor in many civil and military expeditions, while Yang Shiqi was only a probationary officer next to His Royal Highness in the past...

In terms of age, he is six years younger than Yang Shiqi, which is a huge political advantage...

With so many advantages, why was he suppressed by Yang Shiqi and why was he inferior to Yang Shiqi in the eyes of everyone?

For a moment, Yang Rong fell into deep thought.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw that Yang Rong was in introspection, he was happy for him. After all, Yang Rong was a talent, otherwise he would not have taken him by his side to train him.

Sanyang assisted the two emperors and created the rule of Renxuan. This eternal legend may not be impossible to realize!

"Nie Xing, prepare a few sets of inconspicuous clothes. Let's go out for a walk tomorrow. Finish things at noon and continue marching in the afternoon!"

Four people: "???"

What?

Doing something?

What do you want to do?

And this is only one day off?

We are not donkeys. Can we bear the emergency march all day long?

"Ahem, Your Majesty, why don't you rest for one more day? The situation in Taiyuan is complicated..."

"It's just a bunch of tangled mess. If you chop it up with a knife, the situation will become clearer!"

"My lord, aren't you a reasonable and educated person?"

"Well, what I say is true. Anyone who messes up must be killed!"

Four people: "!!!"
