In the bamboo house next to Qingxi Bookstore, Yuzhu is sitting next to the small table with a tea cup in his hand.
Kangxi's roar continued to pour into his ears from next door.
Well, Zhang Boxing made a mistake again!
In the south study room, Yuzhu's three officials each have their own characteristics.
Zhang Tingyu had a gentle and gentle temperament, and it was almost impossible to anger Kangxi.
Fang Bao got into trouble because of his words and almost had three tribes wiped out. Even though he was rough-tempered in the past, he has now become cautious in his words and actions, and does not say more easily.
Only Zhang Boxing is particularly different. He is stubborn and likes to be more serious.
Alas, being serious with the emperor every day is walking a tightrope, and the entire family may be buried with him anytime, anywhere.
However, Yuzhu had no interest in interfering at all.
Everyone's path is taken by themselves.
Helping others requires a good reason.
Yuzhu and Zhang Boxing are not relatives, so why should they help him?
Besides, Zhang Boxing did not look down on Yuzhu, his young boss, in the name of his integrity.
Yuzhu drank a few sips of warm tea, picked up the booklet sent by Nian Gengyao again, and read it carefully for the third time.
The Junggar people are ready to make a move, and the west is becoming more and more uneasy.
It must be admitted that Nian Gengyao, who was born as a Jinshi, has very beautiful handwriting, which is pleasing to the eye.
Yuzhu's utilitarianism is relatively strong, and he has worked hard on the imperial examination system, which is required, and he is really great.
However, no pain, no gain.
Objectively speaking, the level of running script, cursive writing, and Yuzhu required for daily use is completely inadequate. At most, it is the level of a failed candidate.
Some people always say that words are like the person they are.
Yuzhu actually disagrees with this view.
Qin Hui's calligraphy is far superior to that of ordinary calligraphers.
Song Huizong even created his own slim gold body. What was the result?
Next door, Kangxi's roar gradually stopped.
Yuzhu knew that after a while, it would be time to ask Zhang Tingyu to go in.
Sure enough, not long after, Zhang Tingyu was called to interview the saint.
After Fang Bao was called in, Yu Zhu felt a little strange.
What kind of thing could not even be settled by Zhang Hengchen?
After a while, Wei Zhu personally came to invite Yuzhu. He bowed his waist and said respectfully: "Master Zhu, Zhang Boxing has lost the right to report, and the emperor ordered this old slave to come and invite you to come over."
Yuzhu's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately knew the source of Zhang Boxing's reprimand.
In the palace, no one is your biological father, and it is impossible for everyone to speak clearly.
Understanding the true connotation of the words depends entirely on each person's understanding.
As Zhang Boxing's boss, although Yu Zhu couldn't take advantage of him, he still knew roughly what Zhang Boxing dealt with every day.
Among the tax rates in the world, Jiangsu Province in the south of the Yangtze River has the highest tax rate, followed by Zhejiang Province.
Zhang Boxing has always advocated a tax reduction for Jiangsu's own farmers to give them some relief.
From an economic point of view, Zhang Boxing's suggestion is actually reasonable.
Because the taxpayers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are actually hard-working homesteaders.
However, the imperial court has always been worried about the scholar-bureaucrats in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and must resort to heavy taxation to drain the tax base of these two provinces.
In fact, large landowners in areas north of the Yangtze River generally own more than a thousand hectares of fertile land, but they do not pay a penny in taxes.
They are the parasitic class of the entire empire!
To use a special noun, these people are all big bureaucrats and big landowners!
Compared with the large landowners in the north, there are very few people who own thousands of acres of fertile land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
The reason for this difference is actually not complicated.
In the northern region, due to more than a thousand years of development, the soil has gradually become barren, coupled with insufficient water resources, there have been constant famines.
Objectively speaking, the methods used by the big bureaucrats and big landowners in the north to annex land during this era were generally much more brutal than the big landowners in the south.
Therefore, it is easy for large landowners with extremely large areas to appear in the north.
The farmers in the south of the Yangtze River generally have better business acumen than the farmers in the north.
When the fields are hit by disaster and the harvest is cut off, farmers in the south of the Yangtze River often find ways to save themselves. For example, they may do some small business, raise some fish, or raise a few pigs.
In short, whatever you do to make money, you can survive the famine years.
Most farmers in the north only know how to farm.
As long as they suffered a disaster and lost their land, they would almost always sell their wives and children before going out to beg, and gradually developed into a refugee team that posed a huge threat to the imperial court.
Of course, the climate in the north is indeed much colder than in the south, which is also an objective fact.
As the saying goes, your butt determines your head.
Zhang Boxing's family was also a big landowner. He spoke for the peasants, and it was easy for Kangxi to misunderstand that he was speaking for the scholar-bureaucrats in Jiangnan.
After Yuzhu entered the door, he gave Kangxi a great gift.
When Kangxi saw Yuzhu coming, he waved the brochure in his hand and asked him: "Have you seen Zhang Boxing's brochure about reducing taxes in Jiangnan?"
Of course Yuzhu had never seen it, and there was no need for him to cover up for Zhang Boxing, so he shook his head and said, "Go back to the emperor, I haven't seen it yet."
Kangxi became angry and shouted at Yuzhu: "How can there be a Minister of Nanshufang like you?"
For Yuzhu, this level of censure is nothing more than scratching an itch and not worth mentioning at all.
"Going back to the emperor, Zhang Boxing is a famous Confucian official with deep qualifications. He has served as a frontier official and is famous as a capable official. I simply allow him to be independent, so as not to complain about being restricted." Yuzhu never dared to do so in front of Kangxi.
Tell the truth.
In layman's terms, Yuzhu, who is very young and has little qualifications, has become Zhang Boxing's boss. Alas, it is difficult to manage!
Yuzhu's words seemed to shirk responsibility.
In fact, Yuzhu also pointed out the fact that Zhang Boxing was unwilling to listen to his mercy because of his seniority.
South Study Room, what kind of place is it?
It is impossible for the old emperor to allow anyone to form gangs and small groups in the South Study Room.
Whoever dares to do it will lose his head!
As soon as Yuzhu came in, he explained the overall situation to Kangxi. Master, my slaves have not formed a party.
It’s right not to form cliques!
"Here, let's take a look." Kangxi actually knew very well that what Zhang Boxing committed had nothing to do with Yuzhu.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, Kangxi still did not intend to let Yu Zhu go, and forced Zhang Boxing's book to Yu Zhu.
Yuzhu took a closer look and realized that, in fact, Zhang Boxing had no selfish intentions, but Kangxi was too sensitive.
Of course, no matter what Zhang Boxing said was reasonable, it would still be unreasonable if it displeased the old emperor.
The old emperor, even if he is making excuses, he cannot be wrong.
"Yuzhu, it's been a long time." Kangxi deliberately urged Yuzhu to express his position.
In fact, only about a quarter of an hour passed.
Yuzhu calmly cupped his hands and said: "Back to the emperor, I think that Zhang Xiaoxian made three mistakes. First, if the imperial court is prosperous, there will be disadvantages in the local area, so we must pay attention to it. Second, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River is already very serious.
Once they are rich, we cannot allow them to continue to grow. Thirdly, we cannot blindly push it across the province, but should select one prefecture first and pilot it."
Kangxi listened carefully and found out that Yuzhu's comments were deeply rooted in his heart.
Among them, the thing that Kangxi listened to the most was that the gentry in Jiangnan could not be allowed to continue to grow.
The imperial court's defense against Jiangnan lasted more than ten thousand days?
Zhang Tingyu on the side seemed to have a calm face, but in fact, his heart was already filled with waves.
What a powerful Yu Jingqing, she actually manipulated the emperor's thoughts to death.
"Well, Zhang Boxing, do you hear that? I ordered you to follow Yuzhu as an errand, doesn't it make sense?" Kangxi turned to look at Zhang Boxing and severely reprimanded him.
After the old emperor vented his anger, he suddenly changed the topic and said calmly: "I will not use people indiscriminately, so please bow down."
"Hey." After Yuzhu got up and walked out, Zhang Tingyu and the other three also exited the Qingxi Bookstore.
Everyone is a very sensible person.
If anyone can't understand the riddles played by the old emperor, alas, the day of leaving Nan Study is not far away.
After sitting back in the bamboo hut next door, Yuzhu, who was originally relatively leisurely, became much busier.
No matter how Yu Zhu resisted, Zhang Tingyu, Zhang Boxing and Fang Bao would always show him the drafted outlines or written articles first.
While Yuzhu was busy, he thought to himself that the old emperor was smart after all, and his strategy of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger had a good effect.
Li Guangdi did not go to the scene, but judging from his decades of experience serving Kangxi, the old emperor had sent a signal that the jade pillar was about to be reused.
Well, the current situation in the DPRK seems to be calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging.
Li Guangdi is also a member of the Ba Ye Party.
After deposing the crown prince, Kangxi hinted Li Guangdi to send a message to everyone and re-establish Yin Reng as the crown prince.
However, Li Guangdi deliberately pretended to be stupid and emboldened himself, so there was no rumor about it.
Kangxi understood it afterwards, but for decades, he had always been very comfortable using Li Guangdi and was too lazy to change phases midway.
Although there is no phase change, Li Guangdi's holy favor is not as good as before.
Anyone who can achieve great things will seek retreat before advancing, and Li Guangdi is no exception.
I think back then, before the Shuntianfu Provincial Examination, Li Guangdi had collected all the papers that Yuzhu had done.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Yuzhu met Yuan in high school?
In fact, Li Guangdi's mentality was roughly similar to Zeng Guofan's.
After Zeng Guofan established Xiangyong, he was worried about violating the taboos of the imperial court and deliberately promoted Taqibu, the bannerman general.
To put it bluntly, Zeng Guofan wanted Taqibu to serve as a shield and a retreat.
Of course, Yuzhu's prominent family background determines that he cannot be Li Guangdi's pawn, but can only be a secret ally of mutual benefit.
After Kangxi used the topic to his advantage, the three people headed by Zhang Tingyu, at least on the surface, respected Yuzhu even more.
As for Yuzhu, he still has a normal heart and treats it calmly.
The three of them handed over the note. Even though Yuzhu read it, he said nothing and only helped forward it to the internal affairs office.
In the officialdom, among senior and capable subordinates, who would really be convinced by a young superior?
Tang Bing is willing to join Yuzhu's family because he has identified one thing: Yuzhu has a bright future and a lot to do!
Facts also proved that Tang Bing did not hesitate to put down his dignity and made the right move.
Under Yuzhu's secret operation, Tang Bing has been promoted to the third rank of Dali Temple Minister.
There has always been an inverse relationship between maintaining personal dignity and hoping for career advancement, which cannot be ignored.
To put it bluntly, if you don’t first serve as a slave to the noble, so that the noble has a sense of trust, then why should the noble promote you?
Hehe, there are as many thousand-mile horses as there are ox-hairs on an ox, but Bole is a rare thing!
