After agreeing on some details of the scientific examination, everyone left.
Two hundred beautiful maids and 400 servants also stayed behind.
A Nuoda mansion would look very gloomy without servants.
The two hundred maids were all very beautiful. Sun Chao and Wu Ju had obviously put their best efforts into this.
Zhu Tianming asked about it and found out that they were all in their 20s and 80s; as for the servants, they were all smart and capable people.
If they could find eunuchs, four hundred of them would probably be eunuchs.
The loyalty of these people is 80, neither high nor low.
Several servants who served Zhu Tianming from Tianshu Town also came.
One is named Wang Yang, the other is Zhou Liangping, and five or six others are also old people from Tianshu Town.
They are all acquired sixth level cultivation.
Zhu Tianming said to the four hundred servants:
"From now on, your leaders will be these eight people. The 400 people are divided into eight teams. Each of you eight will lead fifty people."
As for the maids, Zhu Tianming selected the four most beautiful ones, and then divided them into four teams, and then set a leader among ten people, all for the convenience of management.
The four maids are named Xie Zhiwei, Gui Yubing, Bai Dongxuan, and Guang Yingying.
The 600 people sent by Sun Chao and Wu Ju all had only one level of cultivation.
Zhu Tianming asked one of the maids:
"What are the techniques you practice?"
The beautiful girl Xie Zhiwei said respectfully:
"Back to Lord Marquis, we all practice the "Evergreen Kung Fu"."
"When were you selected?"
Zhu Tianming continued to ask,
"We were all selected ten days ago. Lord Sun temporarily gave us the skills to practice and also gave us the Small Return Pill."
Zhu Tianming didn't say anything after hearing this.
Sun Chao and Wu Ju were also afraid that Zhu Tianming would be suspicious of arranging people to monitor him, so they found new people from various places instead of people trained by their own families.
Zhu Tianming said:
"Okay, you just go down first."
In addition to the maids and servants, the Hou Mansion also has a thousand households patrolling at all times.
Protect Zhu Tianming's safety.
When the Hou Mansion was first built, Zhu Tianming could only do this.
For seven days in a row, Zhu Tianming was busy with various matters in Yongbei City. Preparations for the exam were complete. People from five small towns, 33 towns, and 107 villages had already arrived for the exam.
There are more than 8,000 people.
The literacy rate in this world was already high, and the Song Dynasty valued literati, so naturally more people came to participate in the imperial examinations held by the princes.
Although the examination room was temporarily prepared, it was also very large. Each independent examination room had restrictions to prevent the spiritual consciousness from extending out and peeking at other people's answers.
This kind of restriction was very simple. It was arranged by Shen Chong's five disciples, and it was all completed in three days.
A total restriction was drawn, and then the five people used some mysterious technique. In three days, 8,000 of them were directly derived, and finally divided into each examination room.
Zhu Tianming stood on the high platform, watching the candidates answer questions and listening to the reports from Ji Hongyun and others.
"Master Marquis, the Sun family and the Wu family have handed over all the spiritual fields, land, mineral veins, mountains and forests, shops, and hidden people."
Zhu Tianming asked:
"how many?"
Ji Hongyun said respectfully:
"Master Hou, the total of the two spiritual fields is 20,000 hectares, the ordinary fields are 150,000 hectares, and there are 7 veins of iron ore. The mountain and forest land has also been taken back by the Hou Mansion, and we are waiting to send people to garrison it.
There are nearly 9,000 stores, including all stores in five small cities, 33 towns, and the large city of Yongbei. "
Zhu Tianming asked:
"Didn't they do any tricks?"
Ji Hongyun said:
"No, they are very honest and not sloppy at all."
Zhu Tianming nodded and asked:
"What about the population? How many are there?"
Ji Hongyun said:
"Sun Chao and Wu Ju cooperated very well with our investigation. The total population under the jurisdiction of Yongbei City is 131.75 million, of which young adults account for half, children account for about 300,000, and the elderly account for about 300,000."
Zhu Tianming nodded and said:
"This ratio is reasonable. Do you need anything else?"
Ji Hongyun said:
“The taxes set by the Song Dynasty court were 45% on spiritual fields and 35% on mortal fields;
However, the proportions charged by the three major families are 55% tax for Lingtian and 45% tax for Fantian. "
Zhu Tianming knew about this, having heard it from the tea stall owner in Nancheng before.
Zhu Tianming continued to ask:
"How many hectares are there in total spiritual fields, how many hectares are ordinary fields, and how many hectares are mountainous forests?"
Ji Hongyun said:
"The total number of spiritual fields is 60,000 hectares, ordinary fields are 1.05 million hectares, and mountain forest land is 900,000 hectares. The rest are either small lakes, depressions, or places unsuitable for planting."
Zhu Tianming nodded, one hectare of land equals 100 acres of land.
60,000 hectares of spiritual land means 6,000,000 acres of spiritual land.
One mu of spiritual land produces 1,000 kilograms of spiritual rice, and 6 million acres of spiritual land will produce 6 billion kilograms of spiritual rice.
It is completely enough to consume the army for a year, as well as all kinds of consumption of various officials.
Just wait until Ji Hongyun and others calculate the specific consumption.
You can save what you can't finish, or you can sell it to alien players, both of which can make money.
Of course, it is not possible to grow all the 6 million acres of spiritual fields with spiritual rice, as well as various medicinal materials for medicinal baths, etc.
These are all benefits of having a stable territory!
As for the other Fanmi, Zhu Tianming did not calculate it.
A territory, spiritual field is the most important.
Fanmi just makes people starve to death.
Lingmicai strategic resources.
Ji Hongyun said:
"Master Marquis, this is the time when the Song Dynasty was promoted to the imperial dynasty. Many mortal fields were promoted to spiritual fields with the nourishment of luck and spiritual rain."
Zhu Tianming nodded and said:
"Well, when this recruitment is over, we will be able to completely control Yongbei City. By then we have enough officials, and we can implement various plans."
Zhu Tianming seemed to think of something again and asked:
"How much are the various taxes in Yongbei City in a year?"
Ji Hongyun said:
"Your Majesty, since taxes are collected from the people, most of them are copper coins and silver coins, and most of the people pay taxes with ordinary rice and spiritual rice. There is not much money, only 8,000 spiritual crystal coins, that is 1,600,000 silver coins.”
Zhu Tianming nodded and said:
"With a population of over one million, this tax is quite normal."
Ji Hongyun said:
"The main reason is that commercial taxes and mineral deposits were previously controlled by the three major families, so there are so few. Also, all kinds of deputy talents are also controlled by the three major families, and all kinds of products are sold directly by them, so that's why it is so few."
Zhu Tianming said:
"The various deputy talents they control have been sent to Tianshu Town, right?"
"A total of more than a thousand people have been delivered. Lord Marquis, don't worry. After a while, all the shops in Yongbei City will be able to open. By then, the wealth will increase proportionally."
Ji Hongyun said.
Zhu Tianming continued to ask: "What are the various talents?"
Ji Hongyun replied:
“There are no senior alchemists, formation masters, restraint masters, weapon refiners, spell masters, or geomantic masters;
There is one intermediate alchemist, one formation master, one weapon refiner, and one spell master;
As for unimportant deputy talents, such as winemakers, there are only a few senior ones;
By the way, Marquis and the others also have a senior shipbuilder, but there is no river in Yongbei City, so they are not reused. Now they belong to us, and they will play their corresponding value. "
Zhu Tianming nodded. These talents are important. They can be said to be the foundation and potential of a force. Once the war comes, they can also burst into great value.
Zhu Tianming continued to ask:
"Where are their private soldiers?"
"They were all recruited into the army by General Que Hu and then dispersed."
Zhu Tianming nodded. Even 2,000 private soldiers couldn't make waves in front of a 4.6 million army. After being dispersed, they had no organizational ability.
Being able to join Zhu Tianming's army was considered lucky for this group of people.
If we leave the others alone, we might kill them all.
"By the way, have the officials of Yongbei City and other cities within its jurisdiction passed the assessment?"
Zhu Tianming continued to ask, there were too many things that needed to be dealt with personally, otherwise the princes would not be comfortable.
Ji Hongyun continued:
"Back to the Marquis, Mr. Fang is counting the results now, and they have all come out.
Local officials with a bad reputation have been captured by General Que Hu's troops, and corrupt officials have also been captured, and the stolen money is now being recovered. "
Zhu Tianming nodded to express his understanding.
While Zhu Tianming and Ji Hongyun were communicating about political affairs, time passed quietly.
"when!"
A loud bang signaled the end of the exam.
More than five thousand soldiers immediately entered the examination room neatly and collected their papers.
In the next five days, Fang Kuan, Ji Hongyun, and Hou Yongshou organized officials from Tianshu Town to make corrections in person.
The news that Zhu Tianming was organizing a scientific expedition in his own leadership also reached Bianjing of the Song Dynasty.
Wang Anshi looked at the spy's jade slip, then followed the officials around him and said:
"Look at what Zhu Tianming is doing in the territory."
After everyone browsed one by one, Fan Zhongyan suddenly said:
"It is in line with the rules. He did not recruit talents from the entire Song Dynasty. He also insulted himself and knew the importance."
Everyone also agreed with Fan Zhongyan's words. After all, he belonged to his own faction and had not done anything illegal.
Ouyang Xiu said:
"He was able to gather power in Yongbei City in a short period of time. This champion is also a capable person, so our hard work has not been in vain."
While Wang Anshi and others were discussing, King Jin was also discussing Zhu Tianming.
Sima Guang said:
"This champion actually wrote a letter after he went to the territory."
Su Shi said quickly:
"But Zhu Tianming also did something that is enough to prove that he cares about us."
Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly and said:
"If he hadn't killed Zhou Teng's family, I would have thought that he had taken refuge with Wang Anshi."
Having said this, Fu Bi immediately said:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for getting a son from Heaven. If this son is trained, he may not be able to check and balance the champion in the future."
Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi said calmly:
"Zhu Tianming probably didn't expect that the king would use him while cultivating his enemies to defend him."
"Your Majesty is wise, I admire you!"
How could they not be aware of what Zhu Tianming was doing in the fiefdom? Killing a wealthy family had already violated their taboo.
If Zhu Tianming didn't still need to be used now, I'm afraid Zhu Tianming would have been criticized verbally and written by them the day after he killed the Zhou family.
Even so, there are still a small number of people in the court who have complaints.
He said bluntly: "The punishment cannot be punished by a man from a noble family."
Zhu Tianming violated a taboo recognized by the Song Dynasty.
If he hadn't been the lord of Yongbei City and relied on Wang Anshi, he would have been dismissed long ago.
Yongbei Dacheng, administrative government.
The administrative government was the former City Lord's Mansion. Now that Zhu Tianming has a Marquis Mansion, the City Lord's Mansion naturally does not need to exist.
Zhu Tianming directly changed it to the executive government.
Ji Hongyun, Sun Chao and others are all on the list.
Ji Hongyun said:
"According to the instructions of the Marquis, 800 of the 1,200 officials admitted have replaced the original officials with unqualified political performance in Yongbei Dacheng;
The remaining 400 people have been sent to Zhaocheng, Liuhuaicheng, Qinqingcheng, Bijincheng, Liangcheng and other places.
Many of the 1,200 eliminated officials were sent to the next-level city or town according to the Marquis's instructions.
If their political performance is not up to standard, they will never be hired by Yongbei Dacheng. "
Only then did Zhu Tianming feel that he had great power and that he was the only one in the entire fiefdom.
Zhu Tianming said again:
"In the future, an assessment system will be implemented. All officials will be assessed. At the end of the day, the officials will be assigned to the next level city.
The top officials were promoted to the next higher level city, and the top officials in Yongbei City were rewarded with elixirs and spiritual crystals.
Once a corrupt official is reported, he will be killed directly and will never be hired for ten generations to come. "
Zhu Tianming felt that this move would definitely greatly improve administrative efficiency.
After all, official position is not only related to salary issues, but also to issues such as cultivation and blessings.
With the blessing of cultivation speed, there is greater hope of breaking through the innate stage.
What's more, it also involves future generations.
Regarding future generations, the reason why Zhu Tianming did this was not only to let them know the seriousness of the matter, but also to prevent the children of such officials from holding high positions in the future.
What if the children of these corrupt officials want to overturn the case for their fathers and attack those who sentenced them after they are in high positions?
This is called taking precautions before things happen.
Speaking of this, Zhu Tianming continued to add:
"A very outstanding official will be rewarded with the Innate Pill!"
There were at least forty or fifty officials at the foot of Zhu Tianming's steps. When they heard Xiantian Dan, they were breathing heavily. They worked hard to be an official. In addition to their rights,
Isn’t it just to enjoy the blessings of cultivation?
What is the purpose of enjoying the blessings of cultivation?
Isn't it just to break through the realm, strive to advance to the innate level, and enjoy two hundred years!
The news that the Marquis had the Xiantian Pill in his hands had already spread in the army, and under the deliberate efforts of Xu Xiu and Que Hu, it even spread throughout the official circles.
This is no longer an open secret.
The officials at the foot of the steps shouted loudly:
"We must be honest and honest, and do our best for Yongbei City and the imperial court."
Zhu Tianming was really afraid that this group of people would suddenly say that they would do their best for the Marquis's hegemony.
This may lead to criticism from people in the court.
Fortunately, Ji Hongyun, Sun Chao and others conveyed their thoughts well.
Zhu Tianming continued:
"In addition, one hundred outstanding officials are selected every year and rewards are given out in different stages from 1-2, 2-10, 10-30, 30-100. The rewards are generous, you have no doubt about this!"
Everyone's eyes sparkled, and the last reward from the military camp had been spread out deliberately by Zhu Tianming.
What they didn't expect was that this would be practiced among civil servants. Can you not be shocked?
After saying this, everyone knew that today's business was about to begin, opening a mansion, building a new family, and appointing an official as a general!
Now that the Marquis has sole power, and all the power of the military and the government is in his hands, it is time to reward officials and build a government.
