"Don't take what your grandfather said to heart. For what your father told you to do, find out as soon as possible whether the other half of the treasure map is in the Lu family."
"Yes, father."
"besides……"
Gu Mingjue said with relief: "Master Kong has promised that he will recommend you to a suitable position when there is a suitable position, don't worry!"
It is different from the low pressure of the Gu family in Jiangning Mansion.
The village leader of Wangjia Village was sitting in the main hall of Gujia Village, discussing a grand banquet for Gu Qingjue.
"Zi Yuan, although your surname is Gu, you have been in Wangjia Village for more than ten years since your father arrived. Your household registration is Wangjia Village, which means you are a member of our Wangjia Village. Now that you are Xie Yuan, this It is a great event for the whole village, and I have discussed with several clan elders to hold a banquet in the village and invite a lion dance to make it lively."
"Zi Yuan shouldn't have refused Muramasa's kindness, but Zi Yuan thought that it would be better to delay it a few months and celebrate together then."
When Muramasa heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Is Ziyuan so confident?"
Gu Qingjue smiled: "If nothing else, I will be able to reach high school!"
Gu Qingjue only mentioned high school here, not anything else. Muramasa thought that as long as he became a Jinshi, it would be a great event for Wangjia Village.
Gu Qingjue's words also showed his attitude. He admitted that he was from Wangjiacun.
Muramasa was really happy from ear to ear.
"Okay, okay! Then we will wait for your good news, and then we must invite the troupe to sing for three days and three nights."
After seeing off Cun Zheng, Gu Qingjue came to the study to write a letter to Su Yixin.
Although he wrote several letters without replying, it did not stop him from wanting to share this joy with him.
I don’t know where Yixin is training, and why she hasn’t heard back for so long. You must know that the gift of hair extensions that I prepared for her was not used.
There is nothing going on here, so Gu Qingjue decided to go to Kyoto on the fifth day of October to prepare for the next provincial examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites.
Before setting off, Gu Yi received news.
Gu Nanshan left for Lantian.
Gu Nanshan has been working on another treasure map. He had found out about the Lu family in Lantian before. This trip to Lantian was probably because of this matter.
"Tell Gu Yi to keep an eye on him!"
"yes."
When Gu Qingjue arrived in Kyoto, it was already October 13th. On this day, the temperature happened to drop. The clothes Gu Qingjue brought were bought from Yishangfang, which were light and warm.
However, because she had been away for a long time, the clothing store had not had new items for a long time. When he went there, he heard several ladies complaining.
Yes, she has been gone for too long.
I really miss her.
It was the first time that Gu Qingjue tasted this kind of longing.
After last time, Gu Qingjue sold Xi Qiu overnight. When he came back this time, Gu Qingjue clearly felt that there were many fewer maids hanging around in front of him.
It seems that the trick last time was very effective.
Time passed quietly, and New Year came soon, and he still had not received any news from Su Yixin.
On the first day of the first lunar month, the Holy Emperor issued an order to limit employment in the fields.
What is a career field?
Job fields can be called "job points fields" or "food rent fields." Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the imperial court has awarded officials with land as salary according to their official grades.
In other words, the salary collected from renting land is used as salary.
Before, they had always followed the old rules of the previous dynasty. Job fields were subject to control, and the amount was far beyond the normal range. Last September, they ordered Fan Chongyan and others to implement the New Deal. This is the result of the New Deal.
The new limit of hectares of land for official positions was stipulated as follows: 20 hectares for chief officials of the feudal dynasty, eight hectares for general officials, five hectares for magistrates, and four hectares for the remainder.
Fang, Tuan, Cilizhou, Xiaojunjian and upper, middle and lower counties are like this.
Compared with the previous 40 hectares of the Dafan Mansion during the reign of Zhenzong, 30 hectares of defense and tuanlian prefectures, 20 hectares of middle and upper governor prefectures, 15 hectares of lower prefectures and military prisons, 10 hectares of remote small islands and upper counties, and 8 hectares of middle counties. hectares, seven hectares in the lower county.
The number of job fields can be said to have been cut in half.
In addition, tenants can hire tenants, and no more than three households can live in each hectare. Public servants and principal households are not allowed to rent tenants.
This move harmed most of the interests and was naturally not supported.
It is conceivable that it is very difficult to implement it.
Two days later, when the courtiers were about to go around, Secretary Tang went to Fan's house to complain, saying that if it was cut in half, his family would be unable to uncover the pot.
Fan Wenzheng chuckled, saying that Secretary Tang and the eunuch were exaggerating.
Seeing that Fan Wenzheng was unmoved, Secretary Tang went to Kong's Mansion to complain again. Kong Chong knew that he had gone to Fan's Mansion first before receiving Secretary Tang.
"Master Kong, who do you think is full of food? On this happy day of the first year, you came up with this bad idea for the officials. I was originally very happy, but now that I have restricted my employment, how can I survive this year?"
No wonder Secretary Supervisor Tang complained. From September last year to now, there has been too much commotion in the court. Originally, because of the war with Xixia, all the government offices in the government had to save money. Now that this happened again, Secretary Supervisor Tang was not the only one. Hold it back and come here to complain.
None of the other courtiers were cursing.
However, they only dared to curse secretly, but on the surface they still wanted to support the official's decree.
"Master Tang, you also understand the officials. The officials are the emperor, and they have begun to reduce expenses to support the western border. We, the ministers, naturally follow His Majesty's lead."
Tang Zhiwen looked embarrassed when Kong Chong said that, and reluctantly agreed: "Master Kong is so righteous that I am ashamed of myself."
But he said in his heart: "You don't live by these things anyway, so you can stand and talk without back pain."
Zhao Jin knew that these courtiers would not be so cooperative, but as long as the matter did not make a big fuss, he would pretend that he could not see or hear them.
The limited-duty field order was implemented in an orderly manner.
But not long after, news came that shocked both the government and the public. The Guiyang Jianyao people launched an uprising.
The cause of the incident must be related to the salt monopoly implemented by the imperial court.
Pan Zhiliang, Tang He and others, leaders of the Yao people in the Guiyang prison, led about 5,000 Yao people to an uprising in Lanshan, resisted the government, and killed the local inspector and the governor.
It was already January 14th when the news reached Kyoto.
Judging from the time, Pan Zhiliang and others should have started planning as early as last year.
When Zhao Jin received the memorial, he threw it away angrily on the spot: "You're rebelling, you're really rebelling. You don't care about the favor of the court, and you dare to kill the imperial official."
"Your Majesty, something has happened. Our plan now is to send troops to suppress it quickly to prevent the situation from getting beyond control."
"Then according to what Kong Qing said, who should I send?"
As the privy envoy, Kong Chong does not have many capable generals under his command, but his eldest son is still in the capital and can take on this responsibility.
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Kong Qing does not avoid relatives when he promotes talents, so we should do as Kong Qing said and set off as soon as possible to put down the rebellion."
Down towards the back.
Zhao Zhen came to Queen Cao's bedroom and briefly talked about what happened in the court today.
He also discussed with her the matter of Kong Chong recommending his son Kong Yue.
One more chapter at noon!
