Lord Pu expressed his clear opinion, and everyone agreed! In addition to agreeing, Shen Shixing and Zhang Siwei sat back on their seats, and they were always silent Shang of the Ministry of Personnel:

"Since that's the case, then choose two older people with high virtue and high morals and report them to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to decide!"

Zhang Juzheng nodded, with a vacant senior official, and after the six ministries and nine ministers discussed, he took out three candidates and presented them to the emperor, and the emperor chose one of them.

However, the rules of the game have been complete for a long time. In most cases, the other two of the three people are not qualified. The person you recommend will definitely be selected by the emperor. What's more, today, Zhang Juzheng, the assistant to the cabinet, has such authority. Since it has been decided, the emperor will not have any objection.

The Zhongshu, who was on duty in the cabinet, wrote a memorial to the press and prepared to submit the memorial. Although the salary of these civil servants who served in the cabinet was small, they were all rich. Because there were high-ranking officials and wealthy families outside, they didn't know how many people came to buy their news.

The news that Zhang Xueyan was promoted to the Minister of Revenue was probably that the memorial had spread throughout the capital before it reached Emperor Wanli.

The one-whip method was implemented, and the tax feet sent to the capital from all over the country began to grow exponentially. Zhang Juzheng, the promoter of this one-whip method, was also at its peak.

Originally, the cabinet discussed the matters and had any policy measures. Although Zhang Juzheng's opinion was the final decision, everyone still had a small debate. Sometimes Zhang Juzheng also needed Shen Shixing and Zhang Siwei's support. Some people made different voices afterwards, but now Zhang Ge Lao's words are decrees, which are even more effective than imperial edicts.

All the debates were before Mr. Zhang expressed his opinions. As long as Mr. Zhang spoke, everything would be final and everyone would have nothing to say.

Although we were in the court, we were happy and relaxed. We walked up and went home to have a banquet and had fun. We originally had a thought. Now that Zhang Ge Lao was in full swing, the second auxiliary position fell on Zhang Siwei, and there was a Shen Shixing in the future. I wanted to climb up and there was no place.

After Zhang Siwei, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and Minister of War, retired from the court, refused the invitation to have two banquets and went home alone in the sedan chair. Naturally, no one could see his gloomy face in the sedan chair.

After getting off the sedan chair at the door of the mansion, Zhang Siwei's face was so strange that he could not see anything unusual. The doorman at the door came to greet him with a smile. The butler of the inner house had been waiting there for a long time and hurried forward.

After entering the mansion, the housekeeper in the mansion waved back and sent off his servants, whispered in a little embarrassed manner:

"Master, Mr. Xu's chief was here just now, that's the 20,000 taels that he wanted to send back

While speaking, he looked at Zhang Siwei's expression and spoke hesitantly. Zhang Siwei's face suddenly became mute, and he walked forward slowly a few steps, and said:

"Just send it back to them, Xu Qingshan's eyes are so good!"

After hearing Zhang Siwei say this, the butler breathed a sigh of relief and trotted. Zhang Siwei shook his head, clenched his hands tightly and let go, and finally he looked as usual.

After walking a few steps, his Changsui trotted over and bent down to report:

"Master, Gu Xiancheng, the head of the Fujian Department of the Ministry of Revenue, is here to ask for a meeting again. Should I meet?"

Zhang Siwei raised his eyebrows and his face turned cold. His scared waist bent again and said quickly:

"The master said he wouldn't see you, but Gu Xiancheng was so anxious that he was asking for help. In addition, he was an official in the court, the gatekeeper and the young man.

"I'm afraid the door bag is given thickly, so you're jealous of money!"

Zhang Siwei sneered, Changsui was so scared that he dared not speak, so he bowed and wanted to leave, and after only a few steps, Zhang Siwei pondered for a while and said:

"Please come in!"

"Mr. Zhang, the student's home is in Wuxi, and the surrounding villages cannot bear the harassment of clerks, so he entrusted the fields to the students' homes to take care of them. However, this time, the whip method was adopted. In addition to cutting out the fields in these villages, Zhang, the magistrate of Wuxi, also bullied others and forced the students' homes to divide their own fields. Mr. Zhang, the student was a Jinshi, and had a good reputation, and was treated like this by local officials. There are thousands of scholars in the world, but I don't know how hard it is!"

Gu Xiancheng was wearing a blue shirt, swinging his hands, passionately. There were only Gu Xiancheng and Zhang Siwei in the room, and Zhang Siwei was holding a tea bowl and gently swaying the foam, as if he was distracted. Gu Xiancheng glanced here, slowed down and said again:

"Mr. Zhang is also a prominent family in Fenglingdu, Puzhou. There are also many fields at home. Students have heard that this time, the one-whip method has also affected the adult family."

"The one-whip method is a major policy in the world. It concerns the country and the country. What is the gain or loss of a family? Uncle, you must be able to distinguish between public and private places when you go to the official career!"

Zhang Siwei said lightly, Gu Xiancheng was stunned at first, but then noticed something. Zhang Siwei, who had always kept his distance, called him his own words. He was happy and said solemnly:

"Mr. Zhang is in Tai Pavilion and has a very high knowledge, but the students have objections to this. Why is the world in the world? The world is the world of the emperor. It is the emperor and scholars who rule the world together.

Friends who know the character are seeking a small profit but forget the dog's righteousness. The clear streams and ten forests are indescribable. If this continues, the concave and the aggravate will damage the country and shake the country!"

People with fame and fortune not only have their own privileges but do not pay taxes, but other people without fame also hold their land in their names for tax exemption. There is no free banquet in the world. If you want a tax exemption, you will naturally benefit those with fame and fortune. The scholars with fame and fortune either take the taxes they should have given to the country, or take advantage of this opportunity to annex the land that they have been entrusted.

The method of investigating the fields and a whip is aimed at this point. It prevents the people below from hiding the fields, which greatly harms the interests of the scholars.

Zhang Siwei didn't say anything after such intense words. Gu Xiancheng slowed down and said again:

"Now the Ministry of Personnel's performance assessment, the first thing to do is to see how the herdsmen and officials receive taxes. If they are less than 90%, it is a blessing to get the performance assessment. How is this the principle of governing the country? Officials and people are seeking profits, abandoning Confucius and Mencius and seeking Tao Zhu, and the rituals and music are broken, and morals are deteriorating. This time, the scholars of the capital have prepared to jointly submit a memorial and invite Lord Zhang."

"Uncle, are you hot?"

Zhang Siwei interrupted Gu Xiancheng's words with a voice, and asked this insane word. Gu Xiancheng was stunned and shook his head and said:

"It's not even May yet. What's the heat there?

"The sun is hot outside, it is hot inside the house. Even if it is covered by this house, it is still hot.

When he said this, Zhang Siwei pointed to the sky. Gu Xiancheng's brows were fixed, his mind was changing rapidly, thinking that this scorching sun would mean Zhang Juzheng. Is it Zhang Siwei comparing to the house? Zhang Siwei continued to say:

"Uncle, you have just been in the Ministry of Revenue for a few years. Your reputation is spread everywhere among the Qingliuzi in the capital. It is really promising, but after all, you are young and can't hold back!"

"What does Lord Zhang mean?"

"What can I say is nothing more than to warn you young people to be anxious or impatient when doing things, and to do everything later!"

Gu Xiancheng was silent. He came to visit him. He came over to try his luck after hearing something, but he didn't expect that after a few words, Zhang Siwei's meaning was so ambiguous, and his attitude was the same, but he was not prepared to participate in the joint letters of the scholars.

"Mr. Zhang, tomorrow, the memorial of Zhao Shiqing, the head of the Nanjing Ministry of War, will be included in the Tongzheng Department.

"He submitted a memorial, what's the matter with you? The cabinets on both sides can't stop you. You have to go to the Silijian first and know the attitude of the Tian family.

The memorial was presented to the palace by the Tongzhengsi Shang, and the Silijianwen Library was handled. The cabinet would not have any involvement. Then look at the attitude of the nobles in the palace and you will know.

Zhang Siwei didn't say much, but just picked up the tea and signaled it. He spoke:

"I didn't say anything today, please come back when I'm uncle."

Gu Xiancheng bowed deeply and said in a solemn voice:

"Mr. Zhang is just giving advice to students today, so the students are saying goodbye."

"go ahead!!"

Li Hu shouted loudly, the trumpet and drumbeat sounded, the flag swayed, and the square formation slowly moved forward. The square formation of the spear was much smaller than before, but the degree of advancement was significantly improved. Twenty steps away from the square formation of the spear, six hundred firecrackers were arranged in large horizontal lines and slowly moving forward.

"Stop! Get ready to shoot!".

The order sounded again. The spearmen stopped immediately, but the fire-sharp horizontal lineup in front was lined up and began to prepare for shooting. After making a small move, another action was repeated several times, the fire lock, and the officers in the horizontal line shouted, and the soldiers separated from the middle and ran backwards.

Huolao soldiers were in a team of three hundred men, and they were arranged in a row on the two wings of the spear formation. At this time, the spear soldiers and spears had been flattened, and Huola soldiers were nervously loading them there.

There were more than a dozen riding horses in front of them turning their horse's heads. Wang Tong looked at the wooden platform beside him and nodded, and said to the generals:

"In such a formation, you won't suffer any loss when encountering cavalry field battles. If you can rush to the front with so many fire-coordinates shooting, you must suffer extremely heavy casualties and injuries.

"The master is right. If you use artillery, I'm afraid your children will not be able to come forward at all.

Zhun Jiang said that Tan Bing's regiment was also trained. The two regiments slowly joined together, and the formation was more stable, and the shooting and movement of 1,200 fire dysmen also provided a guarantee for the firepower output of this formation.

"Master, Wu Er and the three nephews of the Wu family are brought here!"

Hearing Tan Jian shouting in the audience, under the escort of twenty soldiers, Wu Er's uncle and nephew came here. Wang Tong turned his head to see that Wu Er was still tall and strong, with a lot of lush beard on his face and was loose, and he couldn't tell anything haggard and thin. The other three young men were also strong, with a ferocity that could not be concealed.

Wang Tong smiled and shook his head, and said:

"What are your abilities to let this official take in?"

"Master, we are all proficient in horse stance!!"
