Zhao Fuxiang has been involved in the system for a lifetime. Although he has become a small leader in the middle level of the township, whenever he sees the mayor and secretary standing on the rostrum talking and talking nonsense, Zhao Fuxiang's heart is filled with deep envy.

Jealousy and hate.

Why can they only have five or six people? These guys are obviously inferior to me, so why can they climb on top of me?

As time went by, Zhao Fuxiang's edges were gradually smoothed. Every day he drank tea with some similarly frustrated government cadres, read newspapers, bragged, and argued over some major international events. Although Zhao Fuxiang had already compromised with reality, he still had the need in his heart.

People recognized it and wanted to stand on the podium and talk. The excitement of being admired by the people below did not completely cool down.

So in this era, Zhao Fuxiang and his father Zhao Zhikuan were as excited as if they had taken aphrodisiacs. Of course, Zhao Zhikuan was because he could finally realize the ideal he had set when he was young. Zhao Fuxiang wanted to be recognized again in front of his family.

He, Zhao Fuxiang, is not a greasy middle-aged uncle who only knows how to drink tea and spank. He also wants to struggle and succeed! Now that he has this opportunity, Zhao Fuxiang will naturally copy the year-end summary meeting of later generations of units and also organize a "report to everyone"

Good news"!

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was relatively restrained. Although the shamelessness of these officials in the Ming Dynasty was not inferior to that of later generations, at least they still wanted to show off, unlike those officials of later generations who could open their eyes and tell lies. Zhao Fuxiang flattered Zhou Shuguang and Cai Sichun in front of his face, although some

The conscientious gentry looked down upon the nouveau riche, but most of the gentry, like the common people watching the excitement below, clapped their hands reluctantly.

Zhou Shuguang just heard Zhao Fuxiang's boast, which made Zhou Shuguang feel a little embarrassed. He originally wanted to stand up and say a few words of humility, but when he saw the joyful expressions of the people in the audience, the gentry on the stage also cast approving glances.

Zhou Shuguang suddenly felt that he was rejuvenated and could still strive for the post of prefect for one or two terms.

As for Cai Sichun, he is much calmer. He is different from Zhou Shuguang, the unlucky guy. Cai Sichun's family background and teachers are all very powerful, so he has a high starting point in the officialdom. He has listened to these flatteries so much that he no longer has any interest. Zhao Fuxiang did it today

At most, Cai Sichun's eyes lit up and he felt that it was very innovative. What really interested Cai Sichun was Zhao Fuxiang. This guy had never read a book, but his style of doing things was very similar to that of officialdom. His flattery was as shameless as

The big shots in the imperial court are all trying their best. This is not like a newcomer who just entered the officialdom. Could it be that Zhao Fuxiang was also an official in Nanyang?

After thinking about it, Cai Sichun still felt that it was impossible. Although he didn't know what the officialdom in Nanyang was like, he heard from businessmen that in Luzon and other places, the Francois were in charge, and the local Han people basically couldn't be high officials. In this case, there is only one option.

One explanation is that Zhao Fuxiang is a genius for officialdom.

Everyone on the high platform had different thoughts, and Zhao Fuxiang showed his face at this. After the firecrackers stopped, he changed the topic and said: "My lords and gentry! Everyone knows what it is like on the mainland! The north is corrupt, and a large number of refugees go south.

, I heard that there are more than 200,000 refugees outside the city of Guangfu. Some of the refugees cannot afford to eat and sell their children and daughters. Some take desperate measures and some even commit suicide by drowning in rivers! It is really a hell on earth!"

"But look at our Qiongzhou. Under the guidance of the two adults, with the active donations of the gentry, and with the help of the people in the city, tens of thousands of refugees outside Qiongzhou Prefecture have not died of freezing or starvation, nor have their children been sold.

Why is this such a desperate situation? This is the credit of the two adults, the credit of the gentry, and the credit of the entire city!"

Zhao Fuxiang's flattery is full of loopholes. Just a few days ago, hundreds of people died in the rebellion outside the city, and many workers on the docks also died. There was no situation there where people did not freeze to death and starved to death. But now Zhao Fuxiang

The credit has been given to the officials, gentry, and the common people. Naturally, no one wants to erase their own credit. Therefore, although everyone knows that what Zhao Fuxiang said is a lie, everyone nods that Zhao Fuxiang is right.

"Of course, we refugees are also people who know how to repay kindness. We have benefited from everyone in Qiongzhou Prefecture, and we must repay it! So after learning that some people from the Boat Gang joined the White Lotus Sect, we wanted to take advantage of Qiongzhou's border to start a rebellion.

Imperial Court! The refugees, under the command of Lord Magistrate, and under the calm control of Lord Tongzhi, effectively attacked the White Lotus rebels, completely ruining the attempts of these traitors to rebel against the imperial court, betray the Ming Dynasty, and harm the people of Qiongzhou!"

"After the rebellion was put down, the government also gave many rewards to the refugees for their meritorious service. However, we refugees did not want to rely on the support of the people in Qiongzhou. We wanted to repay the folks in Qiongzhou with our own efforts. Therefore, after consultation, we decided to establish an autonomous federation among the refugees.

, We refugees must live a better life through our own hands and struggles, and better repay the benefactors of Qiongzhou Prefecture who are willing to accept us refugees!"

As Zhao Fuxiang finished speaking, two people in the background carried out a plaque. The plaque had a black background and colorful cloth pieces were used to piece it together to form four words, "The world is blue"!

Two refugees carried the plaque to the front desk, and Zhao Fuxiang said loudly: "Master Prefect, this is made by cutting off the sleeves of the only 68 elderly people over 60 years old among the refugees. These elderly people hope to give it to the Prefect."

!”

After Zhao Fuxiang finished speaking, hundreds of refugees in the audience knelt down and shouted loudly: "We refugees would like to thank you two adults! Many thanks to all the gentry in the city! Many thanks to all the fathers and fellow villagers in the city!"

At this point, the launch event reached its climax. Zhou Shuguang saw the crowd of people kneeling in the audience. He suppressed the excitement in his heart, stood up and came to the front, and said loudly: "Fellow folks, this is what I, Zhou Shuguang, should do. Qiongzhou Prefecture

The sage Zhongjie Gong has a famous saying, if you don’t make decisions for the people when you are an official, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes! In the future, I will take Zhongjie Gong as a model and always remind myself to be a good official and an upright official! I am still here

Announce that we are providing you with ten thousand dan of food!"

After Zhou Shuguang finished speaking, the audience was filled with praises and praises again, which made Zhou Shuguang tremble all over as he stood there. Of course, it was not that he suffered a stroke due to his old age, or that he was suddenly moved to madness, but that he knew that he had this

A plaque, even if he has a talisman in the officialdom, as long as Zhou Shuguang does not seek death and directly scolds the emperor, he will retire smoothly, and no one or anything can touch him.

Zhou Shuguang looked at Zhao Fuxiang at this time, wishing he could go forward and hug this fat man and kiss him fiercely. If Zhao Fuxiang wasn't too old, in his forties, Zhou Shuguang even planned to marry his newly grown granddaughter to Zhao Fuxiang.

Zhou Shuguang came to Zhao Fuxiang with a smile and said: "Brother Jinliang, you did a good job this time. Not only did you solve the food problem of the refugees, but you also helped the government fight against the White Lotus traitor! Last year happened to be the year of the competition, and Fu Xue

There are two vacancies for Gongsheng students, so give one to Jin Liang!"

Gongsheng was a policy for selecting talents during the imperial examination era. Every year, students from prefectures, prefectures, and counties with excellent grades or qualifications were selected and promoted to the Imperial College in the capital to study. They were called Gongsheng, which meant contributing their talents to the emperor. This policy was implemented in

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was an emergency policy to alleviate the lack of officials in the central government, and it was also a supplement to the imperial examination policy. After all, some talents were unlucky and failed to pass the Jinshi exams many times, so Gongsheng students were prepared for this group of people. Because they entered

After the Imperial College, officials could be appointed directly, so in the early Ming Dynasty, this policy selected many talents for the court. Many talents in the early Ming Dynasty came from the Imperial College.

But any good policy will change its taste after two hundred years. The Chinese are best at exploiting loopholes. How can we not take advantage of such a good opportunity to enter the system without passing the exam? So gradually the Imperial College became a dignitary to solve his own son

A shortcut for a way out. Gradually, the imperial court also noticed this problem, so it divided the Imperial College students into several types, and this Gongsheng student was one of them.

In the Ming Dynasty, tribute students were divided into annual tribute, selected tribute, enggong and paid tribute. Every year or two or three years, the local government selected senior Lin students to study in the Imperial Academy, which was called annual tribute! Whenever there is a royal or national celebration, such as the emperor

When he ascends the throne, the prefecture, prefecture, and county schools pay annual tribute as usual. In addition to the annual tribute, an additional election will be made as a tribute! The prefecture, prefecture, and county schools select outstanding students to study in the Imperial College every year based on their academic performance, which is called selected tribute.

!As for paying tribute, it’s easy, just take the money!

Although Zhao Fuxiang was not familiar with the history of the imperial examination, he still had some understanding of the Imperial College. Now that he heard that he had actually obtained a recommended quota, he was stunned for a moment.

Hai Yuanzong came over and congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Jinliang! I am also a supervisor of the Imperial College. If you encounter any problems after going to the Imperial College, you can contact me!"

Unlike recommended students like Zhao Fuxiang, Hai Yuanzong is a Yinsheng student, that is, he is exempted from taking the entrance examination by using the name of his ancestor. Of course, everyone knows who this ancestor is. However, the name of the Imperial College is now notorious on the street. What a rat.

You can spend money to get a reputation as a supervisor, so Hai Yuanzong no longer goes to Nanjing to study in recent years.

After Hai Yuanzong finished speaking, he turned to the gentry behind him and said loudly: "Since Mr. Fu Yin has said so, the Hai family cannot stay out of the matter. The Hai family will donate two thousand dan of food, five hundred taels of silver, and a certain amount of clothing to the refugees.

!”

The Qiu family, the sons and daughters of the Hai family on the border, saw that the Hai family was like this, so they couldn't lag behind. The current head of the family, Qiu Huan, stood up and said: "In this case, my Qiu family will also donate two thousand dan of food, five hundred taels of silver, and some clothing!"

Both Haiqiu families acted like this, and the other gentry had no choice but to donate money and food. Zhao Fuxiang quickly asked Kong Shouzhen to bring pen and paper to record. After preliminary sorting, today's kick-off meeting actually got more than 30,000 stones of food and silver.

More than 6,000 taels, as well as other daily necessities such as salt and clothing.

Zhao Fuxiang was overjoyed when he heard that these things were enough for the refugees for half a year. When he became stronger in half a year, he would not have to force these gentry to raise donations.
Chapter completed!
