The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 567

If we compare the entire empire to a house, now it is necessary to let Ding be Dingmao be Mao, bricks and stones are bricks and stones, and civil engineering is civil engineering. One can imagine how powerful and powerful the empire will be once it is completed. progress.

In the past, local officials started to study after they took office.Knowing that what you have learned is still good, many people have finally figured out some ways, and their term of office has come.Moreover, the college entrance system, because Cai Jing's original purpose was not pure, left a big loophole, and it is time to change it.

Examination is always the most suitable method. Even if it has some flaws, it is much better than other methods, and it is also the fairest way to do it.

Fan Zongyin was flattered, he didn't expect Yang Shaozai to be so vigorous and resolute, and he was simply his bosom friend.

Cai Taishi is famous all over the world, and he was in charge for six years, and everyone knows the effectiveness of the New Deal.The current Cai Jing is very prestigious among scholars, and his reputation is not bad.

Fan Zongyin couldn't help but shudder at the thought of being able to finally go to the top of the Tongting, and together with the great figures of the dynasty, set the rules that would not be changed for thousands of years.

Yang Lin said in a loud voice: "Lu Qian, ask the guards who have returned to Beijing to pass on my message to get some money from the mansion to buy a house for Dean Fan in Bianliang." After speaking, he looked at Fan Zongyin again and said: " Take the whole family to Bianliang, and make this regulation for me with peace of mind."

Fan Zongyin was so moved that his heart was as firm as a rock, he bowed deeply, bowed and said: "I will not disgrace my mission!"

Chapter 635 Unstoppable

The news about Juxian College spread throughout Jingdong East Road, and scholars from all over the place were mixed.

The reform of the entrance system has brought the form of examination back to people's vision, and the conversation about Ju County that day has been passed down into countless versions, with everything said.

For a while, everyone in Song Shilin was extremely nervous, afraid that it would be true as rumored, and began to test various strange techniques.

The imperial ship turned around the canal, and Yangzhou was right in front of them. Yang Lin, who came back here again, was in a very happy mood.

Step onto the bow and look into the distance. Under the bright sunshine in early summer, the river is long and sparkling, with green grass and red flowers on both sides, full of vitality.

On the ferry in the distance, there was a sea of ​​people, Yang Lin said with a smile: "Cai Jing and I were here to welcome Tong Guan. This guy is tall and burly, not like ordinary eunuchs."

Lu Qian said with a smile: "The old thief Tongguan does have some visions, but his intentions are not right, no matter how tall he is, he is still a vicious eunuch."

Yang Lin laughed and didn't answer, the three boats stopped slowly by the river, put down their pedals, and Yang Lin hurried onto the embankment.

The surrounding guards hurried forward to protect him, there were too many people at the ferry.

This kind of situation is not common, but since the incident in Ju County, Huaiyin and Yangzhou have followed suit, rushing to Yang Lin, ready to put forward some political opinions, and they can also rise to the top like Fan Zongyin.

There is so much officialdom knowledge, how a chair is placed, how a glass of wine is poured, and how a cup of tea is respected can all imply a great meaning. How can there be such a scene like this, where people are crowded with each other.

Yang Lin winked, Lu Qian and the others drew out their sabers, stood on both sides, and protected a path.

Although the streets of Yangzhou are considered prosperous, they still cannot be compared with Bianliang, Luoyang and other places.

Now is not the most prosperous time in Yangzhou, because of Cai Jing's new policy, the salt merchants in Lianghuai are miserable and their families are ruined.

Cai Jing's reform of the salt law is the most widely spread among all his political actions.The Ming and Qing dynasties of later generations continued to use it, because his salt administration greatly increased the income of the court.

However, the fate of the imperial court's monopoly on salt and tea is that the people suffer from it. In many remote places, it is difficult to find a grain of salt.

And the official sun is salty, because there is no competition, it is often mixed with more than half of the sand.

Yangzhou's imperial envoy was located in Yang Lin's mansion. After returning here, all the servants gathered together to welcome their young master happily.

Back at his residence, Yang Lin was in a very good mood, so he ordered hot water and clothes to be prepared.Xu Yuenu smiled and asked, "This is where you used to live, and it's pretty good."

No matter how rich the Yang family is, it is certainly not as good as the big smuggling family Xujiazhuang, but Huang Xuanzhi and Lingyun are very satisfied. They can't stay idle in the small courtyard.

Yang Lin strolled to the study room, where there were all kinds of miscellaneous books.

Originally, Shi Ziyi didn't know where to throw it, so he couldn't help laughing at this thought.

He took out a piece of ink, and after grinding it lightly, he took up a pen and wrote another letter to Cai Jing.

Regarding the establishment of multiple examinations and the selection of scholars separately, in fact, the selection system for thousands of years has been shaken.

This kind of scientific research has changed from the selection of officials to the selection of officials, and the downsizing of officials has also been carried out to the extreme.

Through this new policy, Yang Lin also learned that this official ecology has matured to the point where it cannot be matured anymore.

Sometimes you want to proceed step by step, but you can't. You have to cut through the mess quickly and get it right in one step.

Then use strong force to suppress the rebound of these vested interests. In the past few years, everyone has actually supported this policy.

Thinking of this, Yang Lin chuckled. Now that he is standing in this position, he is going to make a major change that has not been seen in a thousand years.

The general trend is with me, whoever follows me is justice, and whoever opposes me is hindering the general trend, death is not a pity, no matter what his purpose is.

The importance of this change is actually related to the future development of the nation, whether it can be sublimated from this mature system that cannot be matured anymore.On top of the world, lead the coquettish for another millennium.

Compared with it, kindness, justice, good and evil are all insignificant things.

No matter how many people Qin Shihuang killed, built Abang Palace, spent extravagantly, burned books and robbed Confucian scholars, he is also an emperor through the ages and deserves to be praised forever.

What I am most afraid of now is that something unexpected happens to me, then it is definitely life and death, there is no second possibility.

The old forces need to keep suppressing until the new order takes shape and has its own guards and supporters.

When I was full of thoughts, I finished writing this letter. I wonder if Cai Jing can understand what he means.

"Lu Qian."

The guard outside pushed the door and walked in, and said with a smile: "Young master, Marquis Lu Yu has gone to rest, and now his subordinates are on duty."

Yang Lin nodded and said, "Send someone to the post station and hand this letter over to Cai Jing, the head of Bianliang, and then go to the Yangzhou government office and ask the magistrate to summon Yangzhou officials above rank five to meet me here. .”

After the personal guards went out, Yang Lin directed several maids to move up small stools and line them up neatly in the yard.

After a while, high-ranking officials from Yangzhou happily came to see him, and when they saw the small chairs in the courtyard, they froze in place.

Until Yang Lin came out and said with a smile: "Everyone, take your seats."

The officials arranged seats according to their qualifications, dumbfounded, and after they were seated one by one, Yang Lin said, "I called you here today for no other reason than to discuss Huaiyang Salt."

This is really not a word of nonsense, Shaozai is vigorous and resolute, and his reputation is really well-deserved.

Disputing Huaiyang is the top priority of the local area, because Cai Jing's reforms caused complaints in Huaiyang area, and the level of prosperity plummeted.

At that time, in order to gain Zhao Ji's favor, he made a fortune for the imperial court and made the local government miserable.

Moreover, the rulers of successive dynasties in the future have seen the power of this coup for making money, and they all followed suit. From then on, eating salt for ordinary Han people has become a persistent problem.

Yang Lin asked himself that he didn't need such means of raising money to increase the government's fiscal revenue, so he decided to abolish it completely.

Abolishing salt distribution and salt importation, allowing the people to manage their own business, and allowing the market to select the superior and eliminate the inferior will not only allow the common people to buy cheap salt, but also increase the tax revenue of local governments.

Because Yang Lin took control of the central government first, and then came to the localities to implement the New Deal, there was very little pressure on the central government.Even if someone disagrees, they dare not contradict Yang Lin's decree.

Therefore, this seemingly difficult move is actually very easy to complete. The most fearful thing is that after the complete liberalization, during this period of the free market, a bad atmosphere will form or giants will monopolize the salt industry and raise prices on the ground. situation.
