Chapter 331 Hongwen Pavilion
"I've been good with all these," said Zhang Yang. "Just when I was in Xinghua, I did not directly expropriate the land from them, but bought it from them at a normal price. I believe they will realize my painstaking efforts."
Buying land? Liu Bowen didn't know the policies Zhang Yang implemented in Xinghua, and was still a little surprised when he heard that he had bought land for money.
"Land is the foundation of the country and is absolutely not allowed to be held in the hands of a few people. In the future, we have formulated laws, and this article must be written in first." Zhang Yang said.
"Yes, the lord is wise." Liu Bowen said.
"At the same time, this is also the reason why I opened the Hongwenguan. There are many scholars in Jiangnan. If they can all contribute to my command, then my major event will definitely be accomplished. Anyone who comes to Hongwenguan, after being assessed by Brother Qingtian, will receive a salary from me on a monthly basis, and tentatively set a ten tael of silver per month. As the territory expands, we need to manage county magistrates and prefecture magistrates will increase, and most of these officials will be born from Hongwenguan."
Zhang Yang said this and gave Liu Bowen a reassurance. The history of Hongwenguan started in the second month of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin ascended the throne. He ordered the collection of 200,000 volumes of books in Hongwenguan and the establishment of the "Hongwenguan". It was not only a place for national books, but also a place for the emperor to recruit literary scholars. He gathered talents such as Chu Liang, Yao Silian, Cai Yungong, and Xiao Deyan. "When listening to the court, he introduced them to the hall and talked about the meaning of the paper." "May be at night." Hongwenguan gathered talents and developed culture, which made an indelible contribution.
To put it bluntly, this Hongwenguan is the place where the emperor selects officials. When he enters it, he will receive the attention of the emperor, select useful talents from it, and govern the country.
Although I received a lot of salary from here, except for those poor scholars, most scholars still have good situations in their families. These salary is important, and the prospect of coming here is even more important.
"Hongwenguan must absorb upright people in. Those who are good at engaging in, endangering the country and becoming borers must definitely be kept away from it." Zhang Yang said.
"After the trust of the lord, don't refuse to refuse, you will definitely handle this matter properly." Liu Bowen was deeply moved. As soon as he took office as a lord, he gained unconditional trust and was entrusted with important tasks. Moreover, the lord made it clear that those corruption people must not let them join their camp, which is very in line with their appetite. The parents who gave birth to me, and the lord who knew me, were the lord.
The matter of Hongwenguan was given to Liu Bowen and Zhang Yang was very relieved. Now, he had to value these talented people among the scholars in Jiangnan. In the future, he would vigorously popularize education, encourage schools in various places, and encourage government investment, inspire people's wisdom and improve people's livelihood.
The next day, the news that Zhang Shicheng was going to open a Hongwenguan in Hangzhou City had spread everywhere. Countless unsuccessful literati and students were eager to take the exam and were preparing to go to Hongwenguan to respond, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that since this Hongwenguan had the background of Zhang Shicheng, it must have a special purpose. If you enter the Hongwenguan, you might be able to show your ambitions.
Of course, there are also rumors circulating in it. It is said that Zhang Shicheng is about to be emperor, and many of his county governments have not yet had formal officials. This Hongwenguan is an institution for selecting officials, which makes some scholars even more anxious.
Boluo Timur met Zhang Shicheng again, and fortunately, no one else was present, which made him feel that he would probably achieve his goal this time.
"Mr. Zhang, have you considered the conditions to agree to the emperor?" asked Bolutemur.
"The emperor's kindness, how can I not agree?" Zhang Yang said.
When Boluo Temur heard this, he was delighted: "When I return to the capital, I will definitely report your loyalty to the emperor."
"I heard that the food in the capital is tight now, so I have ordered the canal to be re-navigated. However, in order to avoid accidents, inspections are still needed. So, in a few days, the food will be shipped to Dadu. If the wind direction is right, it will be shipped before the New Year."
"This is so good." Boluo Temur was even happier. Zhang Shicheng was really tactful. In today's capital, not only did the people have no food to eat, but even the army was about to start to lose food. It is said that the big merchants who stored a lot of food, and the royal relatives were backing, and were still raising the price of food. In today's capital, there is no market for prices.
Zhang Yang said that of course, only some grain merchants can pass, and only He Zhaoyi has this qualification at present.
If the profit is halfway, then the money of the free money will continue to fall into your own hands. The construction of Jiangnan still requires a large amount of capital investment.
"But I have some problems here and I need the assistance of the court." Zhang Yang said with a heartache.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. If you tell me, I can definitely convey the emperor on your behalf. The emperor is very happy and can definitely do it." Boluo Temur said happily.
"It is my salt farm that has accumulated a large amount of sea salt, hoping to flow into the market normally, and the court will not shirk it with any excuse."
Boluo Timur's mouth immediately closed, and after wandering around for a long time, he still went around here.
When Zhang Shicheng started his army, it was because of the salt farm. The salt and iron were the official business. He wanted to sell it himself and it was just selling it. How could the court collect taxes?
However, if you don't agree, I'm afraid the previous things will be shattered again. Think about it, most of the situation is tense now and the crown prince is ready to move. It is really not advisable to cause trouble. It would be better to calm the wind here as soon as possible. If Zhang Shicheng is angry and burns the war northward, it will be troublesome.
Zhang Yang rebeled the army of Boluo Timur. Now, he has occupied a large area of territory, and the coastline is very long. Almost half of the salt fields are included in his pocket. How considerable it would be to convert these coarse salt into jing salt. The last time he threatened the court but failed, he was bound to win this time.
Boluo Temur had a bitter face: "I'd better report to the emperor to make a decision."
"It's good. Since you can't make the decision, I'll find a way myself. I heard that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty welcomes my salt to sell it to his territory."
"Han Lin'er is simply arrogant. His Great Song Kingdom is simply a slut. The imperial army can eliminate him without any effort." When talking about the Great Song Kingdom, Boluo Temur was very angry. I am afraid that everyone in the world knows how Han Lin'er came from.
