Because Zhao Ping Zhao Ping also took the opportunity to launch a policy specifically for students who failed the exam.
Candidates who failed this exam can study in Jintang County, and all tuition and living expenses will be waived.
A slap in the face, a sweet date, Zhao Ping's policy made every student who took the exam grateful.
Cheng Liang, Zhang Neng, and Tang Kui were awarded the same Jinshi rank by the imperial court. Their grades were from the ninth rank, and they were also awarded the official positions of county captain, chief registrar, and xuezheng.
The other top ten are the magistrates, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, Gongfang and Yicheng in Jintang County.
But the people of Jintang County never expected that Zhao Ping was not over yet.
Zhao Ping struck while the iron was hot and established an inspection room and miscellaneous room.
What is a house inspection? What is a miscellaneous room?
Zhao Ping explained: "The inspection of a house is like the censor of the imperial court, who specializes in supervising other houses."
It turns out that this is the case. The way each room looks at the house inspection has changed. You are the one causing trouble when we do things.
However, the imperial court has supervisory censors, so it makes sense for Jintang County to set up a censor.
Regarding the miscellaneous room, Zhao Ping explained that the miscellaneous room is the one that takes care of everything except the other rooms.
So what else is going on? Zhao Ping came one by one.
What, there are mountain officials? What does the mountain official do?
Are mountain officials in charge of hills including Longquan Mountain?
What, no trees can be cut down without government permission in the future?
The people couldn't help but cry? How to build a house without cutting down trees?
It is possible to build houses, but you need to apply for it, and it can be cut down only in designated places, designated species, and designated ages.
Why are there mountain officials? Because it's to prevent flash floods?
Wasn’t there a huge flood last time that had never happened in a century? Many people's homes were swept away.
It turns out that floods are also related to trees. It seems that the government is justified in protecting mountains and forests.
What, there are river officials? City officials? Country official? Pavilion chief?
Is the river official in charge of the river? City officials were in charge of the city, the original urban management.
The township official is the original township secretary. This is easy to understand, but it has just changed from the original temporary to the official, and can eat the royal food.
But what happened to the pavilion chief? Didn’t it mean that the imperial power did not go to the countryside?
Doesn’t the imperial power go to the countryside? Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty also served as a pavilion chief?
What, pavilions should be set up not only in the city, but also in the countryside?
What, every protector needs to set up a pavilion? So what do you want us to do to protect our elders?
Of course, the security chief and the village chief also need it, and they can also receive a subsidy of 500 cash per year.
The chief of the pavilion and the chief of the pavilion are in charge of small matters, such as fighting for water, fighting in groups, collecting taxes and other major matters, which should be managed by the chief of the pavilion.
The security chief and the village chief were somewhat conflicted and felt that they had less power. However, with more than consistent subsidies, their hearts suddenly became balanced.
Ding Dashan, who was seriously ill on Longquan Mountain, was about to commit suicide when his house was destroyed by a flash flood.
Unexpectedly, the government provided a subsidy of 20 guan and an interest-free loan of 30 guan. With the help of the security regiment soldiers, ten beautiful houses were quickly built.
Sure enough, building a nest attracted a golden phoenix. After the house was built, Ding Tianer married a beautiful young lady.
And he is smiling all day long. The thirty acres of the family are now his sole responsibility.
His rheumatism and waist pain have been cured by Zhao Yi using silver needles and safflower oil, so there is no need to worry at all.
After the home was built, an incense table was placed in the main room.
In addition to the place where Tiandi Jun is his teacher, Ding Dashan also placed a sign with the word "Zhao Ping" written on it.
Without Zhao Ping, a high-ranking official, Ding Dashan would have gone to the underworld, not to mention being able to marry his son or even sell his son and daughter.
Just when he was filled with emotion, Dangdang, Zhang Lizheng's gong sounded again.
Is it a reminder to pay taxes? Now is the time to pay taxes.
However, the government has been very helpful and it is necessary to pay taxes. However, there is no crop or harvest this year. How to pay taxes?
If it doesn't work, the only option is to find someone to borrow money.
Ding Dashan thought about this uneasily and came to Zhang Lizheng.
Zhang Lizheng kept congratulating Ding Dashan on moving to a new home and congratulating his son on marrying another wife.
Ding Dashan knew that after Zhang Lizheng said good things, the tax issue came next.
However, he did not talk about the issue of taxes. Instead, he said that the government was building a pavilion in Zhangjiazhuang and summoned the people to announce important events.
This must be done, and it is related to the vital interests of the people.
Zhao Ping received a report that the actual population of indigenous people in Jintang County was more than 1,000.
But there are less than 1,000 people registered in the official household registration. Where are the rest of the population?
Zhao Ping found Zhang Si, his future father-in-law, and asked what was going on?
Zhang Si did not answer and fell into deep thought.
Zhao Ping did not disturb him and asked Cuizhu to make tea for him.
Cuizhu twisted Zhao Ping's arm with her hand. Zhao Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly. Can you blame me for this?
This was arranged by my mother, and it was also arranged by your mother, okay?
Fortunately, he and Cuizhu were childhood sweethearts, and they were in love with each other.
Cuizhu saw Zhao Ping rubbing his arm with a wry smile on his face.
I couldn't help feeling a pain in my heart, so I stepped forward and rubbed it gently with my hands.
Zhang Si was concentrating on drinking tea and did not notice this.
In fact, he wouldn't say anything if he saw it?
After all, his daughter was just a concubine, and he himself had concubines.
Suddenly, Zhang Si slapped the coffee table, stepped forward and saluted Zhao Ping and said, "My lord, I remembered that there are indeed some big families who hide their population."
Zhao Ping couldn't help but be overjoyed and returned the gift and said, "Thank you, uncle. Which big families have it?"
Zhang Si looked at Longquan Mountain and said resolutely: "There are several families in Jintang County, including my clan."
The emergence of powerful landlords is actually inseparable from Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou.
He was not a prince, and certainly not a legal heir. He succeeded to the throne by force, and was not recognized by the world.
In order to cover up the legitimacy of his position and win over powerful people to recognize him, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty sheltered and condoned their rampant and illegal acts.
Song Gaozong became the Supreme Emperor and passed the throne to his adopted son Song Xiaozong.
Song Xiaozong should have had the opportunity to rectify the powerful landlords, but he was a filial son, and the throne he inherited was inherently unfair.
Although Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty was known as a wise king, he did not correct the situation and also relied on the power of these landlords.
With the connivance and acquiescence of the imperial court, landlords and powerful landlords occupied a large number of people's land, and some powerful landlords even had their own private armies.
In the middle and late Song Dynasty when they were crossing south, this situation became increasingly worse.
The powerful landowners counted the household registrations under their rule on their own and fabricated data at will to report to the court. Under normal circumstances, they would only hand over a small part of the tax revenue.
At the same time, barbarians invaded and wars continued frequently, causing more households to avoid war and seek refuge with the powerful landlords.
The landlords also used the opportunity of supporting the Southern Song Dynasty to fight against the Mongols, bargaining with the court for higher autonomy. Gradually, the household registration under their control became almost completely uncountable, and they almost no longer paid taxes.
For example, the Yang family in Bozhou and the Tian family in Sizhou, as well as many small and powerful landowners in Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, supported their own troops and formed an independent entity.
These powerful men actually became local emperors, and their orders were more powerful than the emperor's edicts.
By the end of Lizong's reign, the situation was even worse, with only 13 million people left in the imperial books.
Half of the Song Dynasty only counted the number of males. Even if it was doubled, it would only support a population of 26 million.
And since the Song Dynasty moved south, how many people were there at its peak? A whopping 60 million people!
The massive decrease in population meant that the imperial court's income dropped by more than half, which also showed how far the Song Dynasty had declined.
Zhao Ping did not expect that such powerful landlords also existed in Jintang County.
They were the pillar worms of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was defeated by them step by step.
Zhangjiazhuang is actually a mountain village, built on the mountain, and looks like an enlarged square fortress.
Because it was in the mountains and its defense capabilities were not weak, it was able to escape the intrusion of the barbarians.
Zhang Jie is the owner of the village, the clan leader, and the security chief. He looks about forty years old and has a beard on his face.
The fact that there was almost no damage during the invasion by the barbarians shows that Zhangjiazhuang is indeed strong.
Logically Zhang Jie should be happy, but he just couldn't be happy.
In the meeting hall, he was very troubled now and kept walking around the table with his hands behind his back.
He picked up the teacup and was about to throw it to the ground, but his brother was too nervous to stop him.
He was furious and shouted towards the pavilion outside: "My surname is Zhao, I will demolish your pavilion today."
Zhang De took the tea cup from Zhang Jie and handed it to the butler Zhang Xun.
Zhang De hugged Zhang Jie and hugged him with all his strength.
Zhang Jie struggled with his eyes and glared at Zhang De, angrily: "Are you the clan leader or am I the clan leader?"
"Although the eldest brother is the clan leader, I will never let go of my brother." Zhang De still refused to relax and said not to be outdone.
Zhang De suddenly turned around. Zhang De had no time to react. The world was spinning and he couldn't help but let go of his arms.
Zhang De covered his head and was about to hug his elder brother, but he kicked him down to the floor of the hall.
Zhang Jie was afraid that his brother would continue to thwart his plan, so he found a rope and tied Zhang De to a pillar.
Zhang De didn't expect his brother to be so vicious, so he couldn't help but curse.
Zhang Jie grabbed the tablecloth and stuffed it directly into Zhang De's mouth.
Zhang Jie said to the housekeeper Zhang Xun: "Gather Ding Zhuang and demolish the pavilion in front of the door today."
He looked at the housekeeper Zhang Xun fiercely, his eyes all red.
Seeing Zhang Jie being so cruel to his own brothers, Zhang Xun couldn't help but shudder and hurriedly went to get the gong.
Zhang Xun's gong sounded, and in less than a cup of tea, a hundred men came to the meeting hall.
Some of them had hoes, some had sticks, some had axes, and some had hatchets.
Zhang Jie's dazzling eyes glanced at these young men, which made them shudder and all of them couldn't help but hold their heads high.
Zhang Jie nodded with satisfaction and said to these men: "As the saying goes, the imperial power does not go to the countryside. There are people outside pretending to be officials, tricking the people inside Zhuangzi to go out and count the number of people in Zhuangzi. The purpose is to increase Zhuangzi's taxes. Bah, bah, Pooh."
"In order to reduce our tax burden, we will demolish the pavilion now. Come on, follow me to demolish the pavilion!" At this point, he waved his hand and led a hundred men to rush towards the gate.
