Chapter 7: I have seen my father-in-law

Hearing Ye Guhong's words, Emperor Xia couldn't help but look at Ye Guhong deeply.

Emperor Xia was originally a more kind emperor, and Ye Guhong had just saved the princess's life.

Although what happened just now made Emperor Xia very angry, he really never thought about killing Ye Guhong.

He just wanted to beat Ye Guhong.

But unexpectedly, he had just started beating, and the princess actually took the initiative to plead for the boy.

This made Emperor Xia even more angry.

When he heard Ye Guhong's words, he just smiled and felt that Ye Guhong was too whimsical.

There were five major surnames and seven prominent families in the Daxing Dynasty, referred to as the five surnames and seven hopes.

These seven major families have been passed down for thousands of years and have unfathomable backgrounds.

They not only have countless materials, countless wealth, and tens of thousands of private soldiers.

Most of the officials in the court also come from their families, and they firmly control the court.

No matter how the dynasty rises and falls, they always stand firm.

It can be said that their power can even overturn a court.

Emperor Xia didn't believe that this genius doctor Xia could really weaken the aristocratic family.

For thousands of years, which king of all dynasties does not want to weaken the control of the aristocratic families?

But during this period, no one could do it.

Seeing Emperor Xia’s face, Ye Guhong smiled slightly and didn’t care.

"Emperor, the court can abolish the recommendation system and change it to the imperial examination system. Use the examination method to elect officials!"

"In this way, the monopoly of the aristocratic family over officials can be broken and the poor family can reach the top of the sky!"

Hearing this, Emperor Xia suddenly stood up.

Previously, Daxing had dynasties before Daxing, and the recruitment of officials were all nine-rank Zhongzheng system and recommended system.

The right to recommend is basically controlled by aristocratic families. No matter how talented or knowledgeable the poor are, they cannot truly stand out.

Therefore, the ruling class can only come from wealthy families.

The imperial examination system is equivalent to giving poor children a chance to make a comeback.

Once the imperial examination system is released, it can quickly tear a hole in the aristocratic family.

"good!"

"Doctor Ye, what else do you have? You can continue talking!"

Ye Guhong said lightly: "The rest is to build a college and promote education, so that the poor children can start school."

"In addition, it can give certain weakening to the aristocratic families in business. In these aspects, the grass-roots can produce some goods that I do not have in Daxing."

Emperor Xia glanced at Ye Guhong deeply and said, "Okay! I agree to your proposal!"

So soon, did you agree?

My trump card hasn't been taken out yet!

Excited, Ye Guhong couldn't help but say, "Thank you, Father-in-law!"

"Ahem!"

Emperor Xia was so choked by Ye Guhong's words that he coughed.

"It's not now, don't be too proud too early!"

Ye Guhong couldn't help but ask, "Ah? When is it?"

"When the strategy you have given can be truly implemented!"

"By the way, what official do you want to be? Well, when I think about it, what official you are appointed to play the greatest role."

Hearing Emperor Xia's words, Ye Guhong quickly said, "Emperor, Caomin thinks that Caomin is good to make suggestions behind the scenes. It is better for Caomin to suppress the aristocratic families in business!"

What's the best thing about being an official? There are endless government affairs to deal with every day.

In his previous life, Ye Guhong became used to being lazy and was unwilling to be an official!

After hearing Ye Guhong's words, Emperor Xia couldn't help but point at Ye Guhong and said with a laugh and cry: "Others have sharpened their heads and want to be an official, but you abandoned them like worn-out shoes. You are really lazy."

"I will let you be lazy for a while. In this way, I will first give you a man in Wucheng County and give you a million yuan in rewards! Your official position will be arranged by me. Don't be so lazy at that time."

"Yes, the emperor, the people have thanked the holy grace!"

Next, Emperor Xia sent several eunuchs to lead Ye Guhong to his fief Wucheng.

After Ye Guhong left, Emperor Xia asked Liu Hu beside him: "Parent Liu, what do you think of Ye Guhong?"

Liu Hu pondered for a moment and said, "Emperor, even ordinary court officials are very restrained and frightened in front of the saint."

"But this genius doctor Ye is calm in front of the saint and has a basis for advancing and retreating. According to the old slave, this is a person with real skills."

Emperor Xia couldn't help but nod and said, "This Ye Guhong is a bit interesting. I hope he can live up to my entrustedness!"

For him, he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

If he can hold on, he will marry Wanying to him at that time. So what?

...

At this time, Ye Guhong sat in the carriage and followed several eunuchs to his fief.

Because of his contribution to the treatment of the princess, Ye Gucheng was named baron with a fief of 300 households.

The place where the fief is called Wucheng, which is just outside the imperial city.

The titles of the empire were divided into five categories, namely Duke, Marquis, Bozinan.

The Baron is the lowest class.

There are only three hundred households in fief.

And fief is to divide a region.

The people in this area pay 30% of the taxes paid every year to the court.

The remaining 70% will be handed over to the Baron.

There are 300 families, at this time, there may be more than a dozen or even dozens of people.

There are at least two or three thousand people in a village with a population of 300 households.

From now on, Ye Guhong can do nothing.

The taxes paid every year in fief alone are enough for him to have no worries about food and clothing.

What's more, the emperor also rewarded him with millions of money.

Soon, the carriage drove out of the imperial city, walked about three miles away, turned from the official road, and arrived at the destination.

When Ye Guhong jumped out of the carriage and saw Wucheng Village with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

The entire village is filled with earth-walled thatched houses, and the courtyard walls of each house are bumpy.

There are several, and there are not even any courtyard walls.

Outside the village, several skinny dogs were lying on the ground with bare tails.

When I saw someone coming, I opened my mouth and didn't bother to scream.

The group greeted them at the entrance of the village. The clothes on them were torn and tattered *** Ye Guhong had seen them even more beggar clothes.

"The little old man Feng Kuan is the official in Wucheng Village. He has led everyone to meet the Lord."

Ye Guhong noticed that Feng Kuan had only half of his arm left.

There were also several elderly people in the welcoming team with broken legs and broken hands.

Ye Guhong couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Are you guys?"

Feng Kuan couldn't help but say: "Sir, we are all veterans who retired from the battlefield, and we are all disabled people left on the battlefield back then."

I see!

Ye Guhong couldn't help asking: "You are all disabled veterans. Didn't the court give you pensions?"

Feng Kuan smiled quietly and said, "Why didn't you give me? Qin Shuai also helped us, who were disabled, marry and get married. We are all content!"
