Since Your Majesty does not enter the county town, of course he has to go and search.

The county magistrate Zhang Tao led a group of people and started to inquire with great anxiety.

Soon, they realized that His Majesty had gone to Liu's house.

So the group rushed to Liu's house and saw that it was so lively here.

There was a gentry named Liu Wenhui in this place of Liu's family, but he had been arrested and went to Nanjing City. The whole family had already become a panic.

When Emperor Tianqi arrived here, he immediately called the village chief. The village chief was trembling. Emperor Tianqi asked about the number of fields here, and the village chief reported it.

There are 19,200 acres in total.

Emperor Tianqi took the number of tax-paying acres that were collected in the county and immediately gave an order, and the people from all over the country were already busy.

He wants to re-rated the number of land here.

Suddenly, it was already panicked.

But Emperor Tianqi took off his gray coat, rolled up his sleeves and started to do something.

The students also went down the ridges one after another.

This naturally attracted many onlookers from local villagers, but everyone did not dare to get close to them and did not know what had happened.

Zhang Jingyi seemed to understand what Emperor Tianqi meant, but he also excitedly began to measure.

They set foot on every inch of the Liu family and recorded data everywhere.

In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, the land taxed was limited, and almost all the land taxed was rated since the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao. For more than two hundred years, only God knows how much tax was exempted from these lands, or how much land was hidden by newly reclaimed land, through means similar to fame and fortune.

However, in the eyes of the court, there are indeed only 19,200 acres of land here, not more than one acre, not more than one acre.

At first, everyone didn't know how to measure it, but after I invited a local person to give me some advice, I went busy with my rope.

When the county magistrate Zhang Tao arrived with a group of people, he was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

They looked at each other and had to go down the ridge of the field obediently and kneel down in the mud: "I have seen Your Majesty, I am late for you to welcome you..."

Zhang Jing glanced at him: "You recognized the wrong person, your Majesty is there."

"Ah..." Zhang Tao was shocked.

So he hurried to the other end of Zhang Jingyi holding the string and knelt down again: "I'm waiting..."

Emperor Aoki grinned at him, then said, "Get out of here, don't bother me."

call……

This is not a fool, then that's a real ghost.

Zhang Tao was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.

You can't stay comfortably by yourself and watch His Majesty work.

So... after thinking about it, he found a few officials and whispered, and then took the rope and went to the other side to measure it.

After measuring this day, I was really hungry and I was still pampered on weekdays, so many people felt that they couldn't straighten their waists.

The measurement is almost done, and the number is added and calculated.

Emperor Tianqi looked at Chuzi, his eyes widened, and then he said furiously: "Thirty-seven,230 acres, in this way, where did the extra 18,000 acres come from?"

The quilt was called there, and his face turned green, so he had to kowtow quickly and said truthfully: "Your Majesty... the villain died, this... this... this... this is all the land hidden by the Liu family..."

Emperor Tianqi said coldly: "You are the village chief of the land hidden by his Liu family. Do you not know? According to my opinion, you are in a mess, let alone... The Liu family also used the so-called fame and reputation to reduce a large amount of taxes. In this way, he, the Liu family, has lost 25,000 acres of taxes. On weekdays, don't these dogs bark and make the tax heavy? It's true that they don't pay taxes!"

The village chief was extremely frightened and just kept kowtowing: "The villain died."

Emperor Tianqi's eyes became more and more cold, and he said, "Everyone has seen it. This is what he said. He himself said he had died. It shows that I have never wronged him. People... take down the chief of the place and exil to Liaodong!"

When the inner child heard this, he felt that his eyes were dark and he was about to faint.

However, a few students who were on standby had already lifted him up and pulled him away.

The village chief woke up like a dream, and hurriedly shouted, "The villain is wronged... wronged..."

Someone sifted tea for Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Jing. Both of them drank it. Emperor Tianqi still couldn't relieve his hatred and cursed: "It's really something worse than a pig or a dog. A group of people were in a mess, deceiving their superiors and concealing their subordinates. Do you really think I'm a deaf person or a mute?"

Zhang Jingyi was quite happy at this time and said with a smile: "Your Majesty calmed down. This man was exiled. Why are you still angry about this? Just as the Liu family searched and the land could be divided. In this way, the people got land and the court had more taxes. Wouldn't they all be happy?"

Zhang Tao and the officials at the bottom of the army were already scared and dared not let it go. They saw the fate here. This was really moody. If you accidentally sent it to Liaodong.

When Zhang Tao and others were already scared when they thought of the ghostly place in Liaodong.

They were trembling and shocked, until then, Zhang Jingyi seemed to think of them, so Zhang Jingyi raised his hand and lit Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao's face suddenly changed, and his mood was probably constantly silent: You can't see me, you can't see...

Zhang Jing said, "Your Majesty, this person is the county magistrate of this county, named Zhang Tao. Zhang Tao is from Shandong. He is a juren. He has a family of 32 people in his hometown in Shandong. He is not considered a small family. Because he is just a juren, he only chose one county magistrate. He also has a brother. He heard that he was also a scholar. Oh, yes, he is a lucky person. He has a total of seven children, all of whom are men. He is really lucky and has many children and many blessings..."

Zhang Jingyi said like a spring breeze, but Zhang Tao seemed to have suddenly revealed his true form, as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and his heart suddenly stumbled. Why is this Governor Zhang so clear about him?

Emperor Aoki put his hands behind his back and smiled: "It's a pity to cut so many children."

Zhang Tao: “…”

Zhang Jingyi's voice said, "Your Majesty, he has not committed any crime. After all, he was transferred to this county last year and was also a county magistrate. The local gentry looked down on him. He had nothing to do with him in Nanjing City. It was different from the damn county magistrate and county magistrate."

Emperor Apocalypse nodded: "No wonder he wasn't taken away."

After saying that, he waved to Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao only felt that he could not move, just like... he was going to the execution ground, but he knew that he could not move.

So he moved timidly to the front of Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Jingyi, and saw that both of them were looking at him with a smile.

Zhang Tao, with a full of fear, bowed and said in a moment: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Tianqi said, "You have worked hard to measure the land just now. I think you are a real person. I like real people. What our Ming Dynasty lacks the most is a capable official like you. You are very stable in your work. The Zhang Qing family also praised you. This way, although you have no contributions this time, you have worked hard. From today on, I will entrust you to be the magistrate of this county and take office immediately."

"As for the matter of clearing the land in the county, we must do it quickly, and we must also divide the land, so we must not delay it. This year is about to pass, and spring plowing will be necessary next year. Don't delay the farming season. This place, a mere village, has so many fields hidden in this place. It can be seen how crazy these people are, and how many such villages are there in this county?"

Zhang Tao listened, a hanging heart finally landed on the ground, but he was dizzy and light.

I actually... was promoted.

He was indeed just a juren, and he had no hope of continuing to take the exam. He knew that he could not pass the Jinshi, so he had to come out and become an official.

However, if a juren becomes an official, he must first give up the imperial examination. In addition, he also needs to go to the Ministry of Personnel to select officials. To put it bluntly, he has to queue up and finally get himself in order, but what he gives is absolutely impossible to do. The Jinshi is usually a county magistrate or a county magistrate, and the juren is miserable. Either the chief clerk, or a county magistrate like him, or a county school official.

Basically... I have to wait for ten or eight years, or even twenty or thirty years, if I have good luck, I might have the opportunity to be a county magistrate or magistrate, and then go up... that would be almost impossible.

In this era, the most important thing is origin. Jinshi is divided into three or six grades. Jinshi has a bright future in the first and second grades. Jinshi of the third grade can only be placed in the local area as local officials. As for Juren, there are almost very few people who can stand out.

Zhang Tao never dreamed that he would be promoted directly, and... he went directly from the ninth rank to the seventh rank, not... to be precise, he was from the sixth rank!

Because this is a county under Yingtian Prefecture and is under the category of Jingxian County, the grade will be particularly higher.

Zhang Tao was again frightened, but suddenly felt happy.

To be honest, who doesn’t want to be an official?

Being a county magistrate in the county is a pain. He catches thieves every day, and he looks at the faces of the first few people everywhere, and has almost no future. How can he be promoted to the county magistrate?... He becomes a parent official in one party, not to mention... he may have a career in the future.

Zhang Tao was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Jing smiled at him and said, "Do it well, do things well, Your Majesty will not forget you, don't forget that there are many vacant vacancy in Nanjing City."

Zhang Tao was not stupid either. When he heard this, he suddenly realized something.

Yes... I don't know how many people in Nanjing are being dismissed. He was originally very panicked and thought something big would happen, but now if you think about it carefully, what does it matter to me, Zhang Tao? As long as I stand on the opposite side, these people will die, and instead make room for me, Zhang Tao...

Very amazing...

Zhang Tao suddenly felt shocked, and suddenly... he felt that his life... didn't seem to be so bad.

Is there any kind of kings, princes, generals and ministers?
