"Huh——"
As soon as Mao Shi (five o'clock) arrived, Wang Euzhi stood up, dressed neatly under the service of his wife, and walked out slowly with four sesame cakes in his arms.
At this time, Huang Zongxi always hurried out, his clothes and hat tilted, muttering as he walked. When he saw him, he grinned: "What a coincidence."
"What a coincidence, this is just the right time."
Wang Euzhi had no choice but to take out two sesame cakes from his arms and gave them to him before walking with him.
"Your cakes are delicious." Huang Zongxi took a bite without hesitation, but did not slow down.
Although the yard rented by the two families is on the edge of the imperial city, it still takes two-quarters of an hour to walk, not to mention the sedan and carriage. This is not what they, the petty officials, can think of.
One is in the cabinet and the other is in the Sixth Department. It can be said that they are busy and busy every day.
"How about the two of us rent a carriage?"
Huang Zongxi looked at the starry sky and the ground that was less than three feet in front of him, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
It seems that there was a light snowfall last night, and the ground was slippery. The passing carriages drove by, leaving a trail of cars to retreat, which was enviable.
Beijing has developed all kinds of industries, so renting a carriage is no longer a problem, but the price has also increased.
"In January, people eat horse chews and get up early at night, so it costs about ten silver coins, right?" Wang Fuzhi stroked his beard and sighed: "If we divide the money evenly, it's still a big sum."
Huang Zongxi was dumbfounded, these damn prices.
"Brother Huang, although it is said to be o'clock in the morning, it is only o'clock in the morning. We have walked for more than half an hour, and there is more than enough time. Forget about the carriage."
Wang Fuzhi waved his hand, flicked his sleeves, and held a lantern.
Huang Zongxi ate the pancake out of the corner of his eye and followed helplessly.
After the Shaowu Dynasty, the time for officials to go to court was postponed to three quarters of Chenshi (7:45). Naturally, the time to go to Yamen was also postponed to Chenshi.
No one wants to get up in the middle of the night every day and toss.
After searching for a while and entering the palace city, there was another scene.
Naturally, lanterns cannot be brought into the palace and are left outside.
At the same time, during the Tianqi period, Wei Zhongxian came to power and ordered all street lights to be abolished to facilitate entry and exit at night. Therefore, officials were blinded, and some even lost their feet due to slippery roads and fell into the Yu River and drowned when approaching the court on a rainy night.
Those high-ranking officials and dignitaries had special eunuchs to carry lanterns to guide them, and the officials could only follow them, which was called "borrowing light."
After Emperor Shaowu ascended the throne, he felt that it was good and it was much more convenient to leave the palace, so he did not recover.
But now that the time of midnight has changed, there is no need to borrow light even in winter.
Of course, when they arrived at Daming Gate, they parted ways. Huang Zongxi was in Liubu and turned left directly.
While Wang Euzhi was in Wenyuan Pavilion, he was bound to enter the palace city. At this time, it was already slightly light, so there was no need to borrow the light.
Huang Zongxi walked for three quarters of an hour from the palace city to Wenyuan Pavilion.
Although it was not yet midnight, the Hanlin officials had already arrived at seventy-seven or eighty-eight.
Everyone is busy with their own affairs.
The 12 of them spent a lot of effort classifying the hundreds of title books and memorials sent in every day from the General Affairs Department, and even checked them separately to prevent any omissions.
Wang Fuzhi had to admit that these classifications alone were enough to consume a lot of energy.
Two or three thousand words of long-winded talk about a trivial matter are not enough. Four or six parallel prose, neatly contrasted, is simply an eight-legged essay.
What can be explained clearly in a hundred words must be expanded dozens of times.
And you can't ignore it. Some details often hold important information.
It is a test of your eyesight to see through these articles that combine fiction and reality.
As this article reports, the governor of Sichuan reported that during the autumn harvest, more than 100,000 people from Sichuan migrated to Henan and settled in Jingzhou. As a result, many people did not want to leave and seemed to be greedy for the fertility of Hubei.
It seems to be talking about immigration, but upon closer inspection, it turns out that it is dissatisfaction with Hubei Province, and it is reasonable to accuse it of ineffective performance.
But if you understand its past, you can understand that after Sichuan Salt came out of the East, it occupied a large share in Huguang, but now it is gradually being eroded by Huai Salt.
Sichuan blames Hubei for being ungrateful, while Hubei accuses Sichuan of being greedy.
In addition, in terms of food, most of the reefs and shoals in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River have been cleared with the help of gunpowder. Small and medium-sized transportation is still feasible.
Recently, Sichuan grain and Chu grain are both highly mature, because they are transported to the south of the Yangtze River to make profits, and the two provinces are competitors.
The prosperity of commerce promotes the collection of commercial taxes, which affects local finances.
After all, commercial tax is divided 50-50, which has become the largest tax among local counties, second only to agricultural tax.
During lunch break, Huang Zongxi talked about this matter: "An ordinary memorial has to be read three or five times to roughly understand its profound meaning."
"The writing power of the provincial officials is far inferior to ours."
Colleagues agreed.
"Eh-" Suddenly, someone shouted in surprise, attracting everyone's attention.
I saw him picking up the Ming Dynasty Gazette, his brows furrowed, he was also happy and worried, and his expression changed a lot.
"Look, this article is so bold. It actually criticizes this matter."
Huang Zongxi and others took it and took a look, and saw that he started directly from the bank case of the previous two days. He first cursed a few merchants, and then turned around and pointed his finger at the officialdom.
The lingering poison of corruption in speech has not been eliminated, and the old trend is rampant. Some people do not change their nature, do not read the words of Emperor Taizu, and embezzle the people's wealth and anointing.
Finally, let me summarize: Although the civil unrest in Chongzhen was called a natural disaster, it was actually a man-made disaster.
"When it comes to innovation, he doesn't stray from the ancestral system. When he talks about corruption, he doesn't listen to the affairs of the great ancestor."
“The ancestral system is like a footcloth, throw it away after use——”
Spicy review, extraordinarily refreshing.
It was like scolding some people to the point of being scolded. The young officials were extremely excited and felt incredible.
Isn’t the communiqué written according to the text? Why are there still comments and scoldings?
Shocking, shocking!
For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to the central hall.
That's the position of cabinet ministers.
Even though Wang Fuzhi was in his thirties at this time, he was still in high spirits and felt a rush of excitement from his heels to the back of his head.
"Bitter!"
In the middle hall, the four members of the cabinet looked at each other with bitterness on their faces.
The Ming Dynasty Gazette was originally under their banner, so they took the blame.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Zhang Shenyan said tremblingly, his lips trembling slightly.
Years of issuance have allowed the Ming Dynasty Gazette to be spread throughout the country. If nothing else, all county and government offices must subscribe to it, and its influence is huge.
"Your Majesty may have some opinions on the administration of officials."
Yan Chongxin shook his head and said with helplessness on his face: "That's right. Although it is more convenient to appoint officials from the previous dynasty, there are many disasters."
"Being busy with war these years, Shaowu's New Deal has not been implemented much."
"That's right." Zhao Shu nodded and sighed: "The only ones that have reorganized households are Huguang and Jiangnan provinces, as well as Shuntian Prefecture..."
