First Minister of Ming Dynasty

"Father, mother, I, I also want to take the business exam!"

After Han Xiuniang said this, she immediately lowered her head, not daring to speak.

She went out to work and managed a large group of female workers in the clothing factory. She left early and returned late, which was already too much.Now I actually want to take the business exam, it is simply whimsical.

But how did she know, the father-in-law laughed and said: "Xiu Niang, you are right to think so! That quilt factory is the property of the princess. You have already belonged to the princess, and you are considered a half-official. Go to the exam now. If you pass the official examination and get out of the exam, our family will also have a bright face!"

Han Xiuniang was taken aback, she never expected that her parents-in-law would be so talkative?

"Son, if you enter this door, we are a family. Since we are a family, how can we not hope that the child will have a future! Don't worry, show your skills and get a champion in the exam to prove that we women are not inferior to men !" The mother-in-law took Han Xiuniang's arm and encouraged her loudly.

Even Zhang Ximeng didn't expect that this commercial special exam would startle so many gods... Seeing the exam approaching, Minister of Household Affairs Ruan Hongdao couldn't sit still.

"Li Xiang, something is wrong! I, under my household department, have many clerks, those in charge of Changping warehouses and those in charge of Taicang. They are all ready to take the business exam."

Li Shanchang frowned, "Aren't they doing well, why don't they do it anyway, is it because you didn't do well?"

Ruan Hongdao cried, "Li Xiang, the household department has rules. If they can't get promoted, they plan to go to the new yamen so that they can make a fortune. I, I can't stop it!"

Li Shanchang said: "It's also reasonable, there's nothing wrong with it, I see why you're a little scared?"

Ruan Hongdao's voice trembled, "Li Xiang, the household department has also been responsible for collecting taxes these few years, but, if we let them go, I'm afraid, I'm afraid... there will be some bad rumors?"

"The First Minister of Ming Dynasty ()" Find the latest chapter!

Chapter 377 Exam results came out

Li Shanchang looked at Ruan Hongdao's frightened look, and he had already meditated on Yuanshi Tianzun, Amitabha Buddha in his heart.

"Your household department is going to have an accident again?" 3

Ruan Hongdao waved his hands hastily in fright, "No, absolutely not. We have always been cautious, crossing the river with our eggs in our hands, for fear of doing something wrong... Didn't the Du branch find anything?"

It’s okay if he didn’t mention the Du Branch, but Li Shanchang’s face darkened even more when he mentioned it, “Is your mind blocked by accounts? , Of course you can hide it. But now the tax department is set up differently. It has to be smashed to the end, and even the local government will be matched. At that time, there will be detailed tax accounts from the bottom to the top. It can be counted clearly. And not only the Du Branch Bureau, but also the Sixth Division is also brewing, to thoroughly investigate the Six Divisions from the inside, and there is also the Yushitai..." 4

Every time Li Shanchang said the same thing, Ruan Hongdao was terrified and shuddered.

"Li Xiang, tell me, what do you think the king of Wu thinks, there are so many ancestors all of a sudden, from top to bottom, from the inside out, they are all staring at people, they can't do anything, or Just let it go." 2

"Forget it? What do you do as a sub-province?" Li Shanchang was already very rude, "I can tell you, this time the upper position is not far from enthronement, and the state system is getting more and more complete. If something goes wrong, you will be turned into a human skin." Pillow, I can't save you!"

Ruan Hongdao was about to cry, "Li Xiang, I really didn't take any money. I work hard every day, and I don't go home all year round. The mother-in-law will run away with the driver. I, I am like this. If I still can’t escape, I’m wronged!” 3

Li Shanchang snorted coldly, "You are wronged, if you are wronged, why did you come to me to complain?"

Ruan Hongdao had no choice but to say: "Li Xiang, let me tell you the truth, finances and taxes are so complicated, and my subordinates can only manage the land tax, and the business tax is really beyond my reach. If there are any omissions, I will not There is a way!"

Li Shanchang finally understood.

This guy can at best guarantee his innocence, but he can't control his subordinates. .

"Check it out, check it from top to bottom, don't put yourself in it, there are not many old people crossing the river, and the superiors are nostalgic." 1

Ruan Hongdao had no choice but to nod, and he got up to say goodbye. Just after taking two steps, Li Shanchang said, "Don't kill yourself for the sake of the people below! You can't be soft-hearted!"

Ruan Hongdao was startled, gritted his teeth and nodded, as a response.

The next thing became lively, and the household department went up and down, flying around, checking accounts, verifying money and food, and was so busy that it was a joy.

Before anyone else could do anything, Ruan Hongdao sent a dozen of his subordinates to the Ministry of Punishment. The efficiency was so high that it was staggering. 3

Of course, everyone knows that these can only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg, and there are too many officials who cannot stand a thorough investigation. They can only wait for the various yamen to operate, and there will naturally be conclusions.

But just these gossip and jumping things have already made Chao Wenwu panic in his heart, and he deeply felt the horror of the commercial special department this time!

There is no way, for a long time, the aristocratic family really didn't get rich by relying on that little land rent.

If you only focus on the land rent, you are called land rich people, and they are the most unworthy group of people.

What did the scholar-bureaucrat talk about?

Keep the family with the foundation, and get rich with business.

Land property can only be regarded as the foundation of the family. It belongs to the maintenance of the family business. It is almost equivalent to real estate and deposits. Only business can get rich. This is financial management, which has been upgraded to a higher level.

For a long time, business has been ignored by the imperial court, which means that it is difficult to detect making a fortune from business.But now it's different, they started to pay more attention to it, and opened a commercial special department, isn't this going to be a big deal? 1

However, they have nothing to do, left and right Lao Zhu, and even Li Shanchang is unwilling to come forward to help, so what else can they do except wait to be stabbed? 1

In the fear of a group of people, the exam began.

Jiang Ke was carrying a bamboo basket and examination equipment, full of confidence.

"Master, can you make it this time?"

Facing the question from Uncle Qi, the housekeeper, Jiang Ke sullenly said, "There is still hope for the top three."

We didn't talk about taking the number one prize, we have to believe that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people. It stands to reason that we can claim to be second, but Tanhua is not bad, and Tanhua is also the best-looking, and there are almost few of us.

Jiang Ke dusted off his gown, which was spotless, and went to the examination room with square steps.

He came early enough, but he still didn't expect that there were too many people earlier than him.

This group of people got together, whispering and whispering, all discussing today's exam.

Jiang Ke wasn't considered gregarious either. After looking around, he didn't seem to be able to talk to anyone, so he stood aside.After waiting for a while, a thin young man jumped over from the side, carrying a broken bamboo basket. His appearance was somewhat against the harmony of the heavens. His eyebrows and mouse eyes were nothing more than one eye socket was still bruised, as if he had just had a fight with someone. Pass.

He didn't have any self-consciousness, but leaned next to Jiang Ke, "Brother, we will be colleagues in the future, but we need to support each other, by the way...do you have anything to eat, I came in a hurry, I didn't buy..."

This guy smiled and looked up, just in time to see a pair of angry eyes!

grandson!

It's you!

Listening to the voice, Jiang Ke finally recognized this person.

That's right, it's the profiteer who divided Jiuzhang's arithmetic into several shares and sold it!

"You, you came here to sell books?"

This guy was also stunned, and subconsciously hugged his head, "Don't hit me, wait until I finish the exam!"

It turned out that this great cleverness really found a bully and sold dozens of guns, but the problem is that this bully doesn't talk about martial arts.

He bought half a book, didn't admit his bad luck, and didn't continue to spend money to buy back the whole book, instead he rushed to find it and punched him so hard that his parents screamed.

Fortunately, some guards passed by and referred them to the county yamen. As soon as they found out about the situation, one of them fought, and the other sold books to cheat.

"To be honest, these days, I, and many other prisoners, have been brought here to repair the examination room Gongyuan... When I was busy here, I thought, if I can pass the examination, I will also be an official. Do you mean that no one dares to bully me anymore! From now on, I will also be the master of this Yingtian mansion! The one who beat me, I put him in the corner, let him kneel down, and call me master. Don’t you I know, this person is so hateful, when I was doing hard labor, he still beat me three times a day, just like eating, it was really ruthless!"

Listening to his rambling words, Jiang Ke had an idea, why not kill you!

A dealer who sells fake books, why did he come to take the exam, this commercial special course, why is it different from what he thinks, it doesn't seem to be so high-end and grand!Even if he passes the exam, can he be regarded as a Wenqu star?

With all kinds of doubts, Jiang Ke followed the crowd and entered the examination room.But before going in, he gave him a big steamed bun in order to silence the grandson.

"Enough! Just wait and see, when I pass the exam, I, I will treat you to a real roast duck!"

Jiang Ke can't laugh or cry, why don't you invite me to eat fake ones, let me open my eyes too, what does a fake roast duck look like! 6

With a lot of thought, Jiang Ke entered the examination room... Obviously, he didn't have a concept of this weird special exam, and he didn't know how weird it could be.

In another examination room, as many as 30 young women entered the examination room.

These women were all brought out by Mrs. Ma.

Over the years, Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang have adopted eight hundred orphans, including males and females.The early Mashi almost regarded them as his own children and took great care of them.But the number is too large, and she can't take care of it. She can only arrange people, take care of their lives, teach them to read and learn skills, so that they can make a difference.

Since Zhang Ximeng advocated allowing girls to go to school, these girls adopted by the Ma family should naturally set an example and enter the school first.

At this time, they also left the stage one after another, took the exam, and prepared to repay King Wu and Princess Wang.

In their eyes, the defense of men and women is not so important, the first thing is to repay the favor and do things. Since they want to repay the favor, they must take the exam.

So here they are.

If it is said that women only follow the rules when they end up, then there are several bald monks hidden among these candidates.

That's right, even the monks came.

Logically speaking, Yingtian is still peaceful, and the temple should be prosperous... But the fact is just the opposite. That one, all the land outside is taken away. 1

It doesn't matter, as long as there is incense, that's enough.

However, the incense also dropped sharply.

General Zhu sent many preachers to the fields in villages and towns to communicate with the common people... How is life now, are there any difficulties, how is the average land doing, are there any corrupt officials... As long as the people respond, Most of the time someone will handle it.

As time passed, the common people also understood, what gods and bodhisattvas are they asking for?

Zhu Jiajun is a living bodhisattva who responds to every request. 11

There is no way to worship wood carvings and clay sculptures.

No one is doing things, can't you ask for comfort?

Then again, if someone helps you with the work, why bother with it? 1

This is not to say that no one burns incense anymore, there are still a lot of them, and they all come, and there is no harm in worshiping the Bodhisattva. 2

But the money for incense has dropped sharply with the naked eye...and some temples once oppressed the people. In the fish and meat village, they raised monks and soldiers, killing people.

This kind of evil is brought out, don't look at Lao Zhu who was a monk, he is even more ruthless to these monks!

The lightest punishment was to go to Haozhou to build dams.

Started in ten years, there is no ceiling.

It is almost predictable that under Lao Zhu's rule, the monks will not be able to stand up.

It's better to take a business test.

Someone has to ask, besides being able to recite sutras, can a group of monks take exams?

Who do you look down on!

Do you think there is less money in our temple?Or Tian Shao? 2

Although it is gone now, it was once rich after all!

If you can manage accounts in the temple, you can be a clerk in the government office, there is no problem at all.It’s just that when writing official documents, you must remember, don’t write Amitabha.

Just like that, the exam that a group of crouching dragons and phoenix chicks participated in finally ended in the eyes of everyone.

Jiang Ke also dragged his tired body back to his residence.

how to say?

The exam is not difficult, but some questions are not so easy to answer.Anyway, he is full, no matter what, just wait for the result!

After waiting for another half a month, Uncle Qi couldn't wait to remind Jiang Ke this day.

"The list will be out today, go and have a look!"

Jiang Ke was startled, he suddenly panicked for no reason, his heart was beating wildly.

When my younger sister took the exam, she was No. 1, and if she wanted to be her elder brother, she wouldn't be too bad.

It's better not to go, in case people feel that you are not confident and too frivolous, it's not good, you'd better sit on the Diaoyutai!

"Well, I'm not feeling well today, Uncle Qi can go for me!"

There was no other way, Seventh Uncle had no choice but to go, but after a while, he came back happily.

"Master, good news, you, you got third place in the exam!"

"third?"

Jiang Ke immediately stood up, his face flushed, and he blurted out: "The champion, who is the champion?"

Uncle Seven's face darkened, "Well, it hasn't been posted yet!"

"If you didn't post it, why didn't you wait to tell me after posting it?"

"I, I also want to wait, but I'm afraid the young master won't be able to wait." 1

Jiang Ke felt even more absurd, "Just two people, I can't wait?"

Uncle Seven rolled his eyelids and muttered, "No, not two, there are quite a lot... Yes, it starts from the back..." 17

Jiang Ke: "..."
