Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 194

The Disciplinary Inspection Department of the Tang Dynasty is very ridiculous, especially those officials and censors, who pay attention to "rumors and stories". To put it bluntly, they just use gossip to impeach others. More reliable.

And this time in the selection of officials in Jinzhou, the reason why Gao Ming listed the position of "supervisor" is to improve the supervision system in Jinzhou. In Gao Ming's opinion, there is nothing stronger than the discipline inspection department composed of competitors. exists.

Gao Ming has already made a plan, even if an acting magistrate passes the probationary period, Gao Ming will still find a group of competitors for him in another way, monitor him, and let him be an official with trepidation, like walking on thin ice.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately praised himself in his heart.

"To come up with such a brilliant move, I'm a genius, hahahaha!"

When the stick of incense was half burned, some people from the three teams A, B, and C had volunteered to be the magistrates. Gao Ming immediately asked Li Goudan to take these as the magistrates, and the remaining people who would be the monitors. All registered.

Gao Ming, who had been an interviewer all morning, was also tired, so after he gave Li Goudan orders, he went back to his room to rest.

After a while, Li Goudan came to report back.

"His Royal Highness, I have already registered their names. I will give them official robes tomorrow and let them take up positions in the jurisdiction. What do you think?"

Hearing what Li Goudan said, Gao Ming nodded immediately.

"You are the governor, you can handle this matter according to your needs. By the way, you have seen how I interviewed the county magistrate today. I will leave it to you to interview the county magistrate tomorrow and the county lieutenant the day after tomorrow."

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Goudan gasped.

"Hiss...thank you for your trust, His Royal Highness, but I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Ming interrupted him directly.

"There is nothing wrong with it. The county magistrate is the second-in-command in the county, so the assessment content will refer to my standard today. The county magistrate is in charge of public security and criminal affairs. As long as you understand the "Law of the Tang Dynasty", you can do it if you are good at it." Appointment is given priority, as for the rest, you can figure it out."

After speaking, Gao Ming waved his hand towards him again.

"Okay, it's okay, go out, I'll rest for a while."

"Yes!"

Li Goudan agreed and went out, but when he went out and helped Gao Ming close the door, a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

"His Royal Highness trusts me so much, I will never let him down!"

Thinking of this, Li Goudan's pace was much faster when he left.

Zhang Sizheng, who had the same idea, took Huzi to the barracks. While he asked the blacksmiths in the army to make weapons and armor for Huzi, he patiently taught Huzi how to become a qualified prince's personal guard.

Considering that Huzi's brain is not very good, Zhang Sizheng can only try to keep the long story short, trying to shorten the content he wants to teach to the point where Huzi can remember.

As a person who has been a soldier for many years, Zhang Sizheng knows when is the time to assassinate, and also knows how to be a competent guard, and now he has told Huzi all the experience he has summed up over the years.

"The first rule is to treat everyone as an assassin. Without the permission of His Royal Highness, no one is allowed to come within three steps of him."

"The second rule, before the prince returns to the mansion, never leave His Highness the prince's side."

"Third, don't be afraid of death, and swear to protect His Highness the Crown Prince comprehensively."

Huzi, on the other hand, has a dull mind, but this also means that he is a very rational person, so he memorized every one of Zhang Sizheng's teachings, and kept repeating them whenever he was free. .

Five days later, Hu Zi was able to memorize these three guarding principles back and forth. At this time, his equipment just happened to be completed, so he put on the armor, took the weapon, and hurried back to the governor's mansion.

When Gao Ming saw Huzi again, he was startled.

"Tiger, you are..."

I saw Huzi wearing a red cherry black iron helmet and a black tiger-head swallowing sky chain armor. The hem of the armor reached to his knees. When he walked, the iron skin on the armor made a "click, click" friction sound.It looks very mighty and domineering.

What is even more shocking is the two huge hammers Huzi is holding in his hand at this time. The handles of the hammers are as thick as a baby's arms. It looks intimidating.

But it was such a big killer, but it was easily held by Hu Zi in his hand. When he came to Gao Ming, he immediately threw the two sledgehammers to the ground, and then clasped his fists at Gao Ming.

"Huzi sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

When the sledgehammer fell to the ground, Gao Ming obviously felt the ground vibrate. After seeing the tiger salute to him, Gao Ming blinked his eyes in surprise.

"Uh...huzi, how heavy are your two sledgehammers?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Huzi immediately touched the back of his head, and then laughed.

"Brother Ah Zheng said that this pair of hammers has three stones, hehe!"

"Hiss...three stones?"

This time Gao Ming was completely shocked, because according to Datang's calculation, the weight of one stone is 310 catties, and the weight of three stones is [-] eight catties!
After calculating it clearly, Gao Ming took a deep breath, walked to Huzi's side, and then held one of the sledgehammers with both hands and lifted it vigorously.

"Drink!"

Gao Ming let out a loud shout, then stretched his arms hard, and finally dragged the sledgehammer back a few centimeters, Gao Ming was finally sure.

"It's really heavy. One of these hammers must weigh more than 150 kilograms, and the combined weight of the two hammers is indeed more than 300 kilograms!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming looked helplessly at Huzi who was giggling.

"It seems that apart from this non-human being, no one should be able to handle this pair of sledgehammers."

Seemingly aware of Gao Ming's thoughts, Hu Zi immediately raised two sledgehammers one by one, and then smiled at Gao Ming.

"Hey, His Royal Highness, I will protect you well in the future, whoever dares to provoke you, I will beat him to death with this sledgehammer!"

"..."

Gao Ming didn't dare to think about what it would be like to hit a person with a sledgehammer weighing more than 150 kilograms, so as soon as Hu Zi's words fell, Gao Ming immediately raised his palm towards him.

"Huzi, I will give you the first order right now. Unless I give the order, you are not allowed to hit people with these two sledgehammers, understand?"

Huzi has always been kind, and he nodded immediately after hearing Gao Ming's words.

"Understood, unless His Royal Highness tells me to fight, I will not fight!"

After finishing speaking, Hu Zi rubbed his belly.

"Your Highness, I'm hungry."

"..."

Huzi knew about his appetite, so he specially asked Li Goudan to prepare some more meals, so that Huzi, a big eater, would be full.

In the next two days, with Huzi's guard, Gao Ming started wandering around Jinzhou, traveling around the mountains and rivers, having a great time.

On the sixth day after Gao Ming arrived in Jinzhou, the team responsible for escorting the money finally arrived in Jinzhou. Gao Ming immediately asked them to move the money to the treasury of Jinzhou Governor's Mansion, and then called Li Goudan to him.

"Li Goudan, here is 20 yuan. This money has only one purpose, and that is to support the Datang Royal Academy. Whether it is building the academy, recruiting teachers, or supporting students, all the money comes from here. My request is only One, cultivate talents for me.”

Li Goudan nodded immediately after listening to the clever words.

"Yes, Weichen understands, this Qian Weichen must be optimistic about it, there will never be any mistakes!"

Seeing Li Goudan's serious face, Gao Ming nodded again.

"It's good that you know. I used to worry about not having enough money, but now it's all right. With so much money, the construction progress of the Datang Royal Academy can also be accelerated. After the academy in Jinzhou Prefecture is completed, the next one will be built. One."

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Goudan's eyes widened.

"Is it still going to be built?"

Seeing Li Goudan with a surprised face, Gao Ming immediately nodded his head as a matter of course.

"Of course, according to my plan, in addition to the academy in Jinzhou Prefecture, at least four more academies will be built in Jinzhou, which will not only allow more children from poor families to read books, but also select a large number of talents from them. What is lacking now is talent.”

Speaking of this, Gao Ming patted Li Goudan's shoulder immediately.

"Education is the foundation of a century-old plan, remember this for me!"

What Gao Ming said was the truth, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have enough available talents, Gao Ming would have already taken action against those aristocratic families. Unfortunately, he also knew that there was no rush for this matter, so he could only take it one step at a time.

Seeing Gao Ming's urgent expression, Li Goudan nodded vigorously.

"His Royal Highness, I understand. Don't worry about this matter. I will keep an eye on this matter. After the academy in Jinzhou Prefecture is completed, I will let them go to the four surrounding counties to build academies. I will never delay the prince. His Majesty's business."

Seeing Li Goudan's serious face, Gao Ming nodded.

"It's good if you understand, but you have to pay close attention to the transaction tax of Jinzhou merchants. By the way, you will post a notice later. As long as you are a merchant registered in Jinzhou and pay the transaction tax every month, you can wear silk and satin." Go out and enjoy the same treatment as other common people."

In Datang, although merchants were very rich, they had many restrictions, including very strict regulations on food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The most common thing is to wear silk and satin. Farmers can wear silk and satin if they have money, but merchants can't. At most, they can only wear it at home, but if they want to wear it outside, they will have to go to court.

Therefore, Gao Ming is very sure that as long as his announcement is issued, not only merchants in Jinzhou will pay commercial taxes, but even some merchants from other places will choose to settle in Jinzhou in order to enjoy the same rights as other common people.

This is the reason why people fight for one breath and Buddhas fight for one stick of incense.

Although Li Goudan didn't understand these reasons, he believed in Gao Ming's decision, because for such a long time, the facts proved that Gao Ming's decision was always correct.

So, as soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Goudan nodded immediately.

"Yes, Wei Chen understands, why don't you add another sentence in the notice, if you don't pay the transaction tax and go out wearing silk and satin, once you find out, the Jinzhou household registration of his whole family will be cancelled, and then the whole family will be driven out of Jinzhou." Zhou, what do you think of Wei Chen's idea, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Looking at the flattering Li Goudan, Gao Ming couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, draw inferences from one example, well, it's very good, let's do it like this, for those tax evaders, we must not tolerate and raise traitors, and we will make it clear at that time, the tax-evading merchants who are kicked out will not be allowed to enter Jinzhou again for life, let alone in Jinzhou. Jinzhou Merchant."

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Goudan came over again and gave Gao Ming a thumbs up.

"His Royal Highness is a brilliant move, high, really high!"

"Wow ha ha ha ha……"
