Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 397
"Don't take what your grandfather said to heart, and explain to your father what you did, and find out as soon as possible, whether the other half of the treasure map is in the Lu family."

"Yes, father."

"and also……"

Gu Mingjue said in relief: "Master Kong has promised that when there is a suitable position, he will recommend you to go, don't worry!"

It is different from the low pressure of the Gu family in Jiangning Prefecture.

The village official of Wang's Village was sitting in the main hall of Gu's family, discussing to hold a grand banquet for Gu Qingjue.

"Ziyuan, although your surname is Gu, you have been in Wangjiacun for more than ten years since your father came here. Your household registration is Wangjiacun, which means that you are a member of our Wangjiacun. Now you know Yuan. This is a great event for the whole village. I have discussed with several clan elders that we will hold a banquet in the village and invite a lion dance. It will be lively and lively."

"Ziyuan shouldn't have refused Muramasa's kindness, but Ziyuan thought, it would be a few months later, and we will celebrate together at that time."

When Muramasa heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Ziyuan is so sure?"

Gu Qingjue smiled: "No accident, I will be able to go to high school!"

Gu Qingjue only talked about high school here, and didn't say anything else. The village official thought that as long as he was a Jinshi, it would be a great joy for Wangjiacun.

Gu Qingjue's words also showed his attitude. He admitted that he was from Wangjiacun.

Muramasa was really happy from ear to ear.

"Okay, okay! Then we will wait for your good news, and then we must invite the troupe to sing for three days and three nights."

After seeing off the village, Gu Qingjue came to the study to write a letter to Su Yixin.

Although he didn't reply to several letters, it didn't stop him from wanting to share the joy with him.

I don't know where Yixin practiced and why there is no reply for so long. You must know that the gift of her marriage that I prepared was useless.

There is nothing going on here, Gu Qingjue decided to go to Kyoto on the fifth day of October to prepare for the next provincial examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites.

Just before departure, Gu Yi sent a message.

Gu Nanshan left for Lantian.

Gu Nanshan has been working on another treasure map, and he has found out about the Lantian Lu family before, and this time he went to Lantian, probably because of this matter.

"Tell Gu Yi to keep an eye on him!"

"Yes."

When Gu Qingjue arrived in the capital, it was already October [-]th. On this day, it happened that the temperature had dropped. The clothes Gu Qingjue brought were bought from Yishangfang, which were light and warm.

However, because she was away for a long time, Yi Shangfang hadn't updated for a long time. When he went, he heard several ladies complaining.

Yeah, she's been away for too long.

Really miss her.

It was the first time that Gu Qingjue tasted this kind of longing.

After Gu Qingjue betrayed Xi Qiu overnight last time, when he came back this time, Gu Qingjue clearly felt that there were far fewer maidservants dangling in front of him.

It seems that the trick last time worked very well.

Time passed quietly, and the New Year would soon be here, but he still hadn't heard from Su Yixin.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the Holy One issued an order to limit the number of jobs.

What is a job field?

Job field can be called "job field" or "food rent field".Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the imperial court has awarded the official ranks to officials as fields for salary.

In other words, the rent received from renting land is used as salary.

Before, they had always followed the old rule of the previous government. Job fields were subject to control, and the amount was far beyond the normal range. Last September, they ordered Fan Chongyan and others to implement the new policy. This is the result of the new policy.

The limit of hectares of land for post was changed: [-] hectares for chief officials of the Dafan government, eight hectares for Tongci, five hectares for judges, and four hectares for Yu Bing.

Defense, regiment, assassination state, small military supervisor, upper, middle and lower counties, and so on.

Compared with the previous Zhenzong period, the Dafan Mansion was [-] hectares, the Defense and Tuanlian Prefectures were [-] hectares, the Central and Upper Cishi Prefectures were [-] hectares, the Xiazhou and Military Supervision were [-] hectares, the outlying small islands, Shangxian County were [-] hectares, Zhongxian County was [-] hectares, and Xiaxian County was [-] hectares.

The number of job fields can be said to be cut in half.

In addition, there are no more than three households per hectare for tenants in the field to call for floating customers. Public servants and principal households are not allowed to rent tenants.

This move has harmed most of the interests, so it is naturally not supported.

It is conceivable that it will be difficult to implement it.

Two days later, when the courtiers moved around, Secretary Tang went to Fan's Mansion to complain, saying that if it was cut in half, his family would be in trouble.

Fan Wenzheng heheed twice, saying that Secretary Tang was exaggerating.

Seeing that Fan Wenzheng was unmoved, Secretary Tang went to Kong's Mansion to complain again. Kong Chong knew that he had first gone to Fan's Mansion before receiving Secretary Tang.

"Master Kong, who do you think is full of food? On the happy day of the Yuan Dynasty, he gave such a bad idea to the officials. He was happy at first, but now that the job is restricted, how will he live this year?"

It's no wonder Secretary Tang complained. From September last year to now, there has been too much movement in the court. Originally, because of the battle with Xixia, all the government in the court had to save money.

Which other courtiers don't curse.

However, they only dared to scold in secret, but on the surface they still wanted to support the government's decree.

"Master Tang, you also understand the officials. The officials are the emperor, and they have begun to reduce expenses to support the western frontier. Those of us who are courtiers, naturally follow your Majesty's lead."

Tang Zhiwen's face was embarrassed by Kong Chong's words, and he agreed with great reluctance: "Master Kong is so righteous, let me be ashamed."

But he said in his heart: "Anyway, you don't rely on these to make a living, so you don't have back pain when you stand and talk."

Zhao Zhen knew that these courtiers would definitely not be so cooperative, but as long as things didn't make a big fuss, he would treat it as if he couldn't see or hear.

The job limit order was implemented in an orderly manner.

However, a shocking news came out not long after, that the Guiyang Jian Yao people launched an uprising.

The cause of the incident has to do with the imperial government's salt monopoly.

Guiyang Jian Yao leaders Pan Zhiliang, Tang He and others, led about [-] Yao people, rebelled against the government in Lanshan, killing the local patrol inspector and the capital prison.

It was January [-]th when the news reached Kyoto.

From the perspective of time, Pan Zhiliang and others should have started planning as early as last year.

When Zhao Zhen received the memorial, he threw it away angrily on the spot: "It's the opposite, it's really the opposite. I don't think about the court's kindness, and dare to kill the imperial court official."

"Your Majesty, something has already happened. The current plan is to quickly send troops to suppress it, lest the situation expand to the point where it cannot be dealt with."

"Then according to what Kong Qing said, who should I send?"

As a privy envoy, Kong Chong did not have many capable generals under his command, but his eldest son is still in Beijing and can take on this position.

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Kong Qing is a virtuous person who does not avoid relatives, so we should do as Kong Qing said, and set off as soon as possible to put down the rebellion."

Downwards.

Zhao Zhen came to Empress Cao's bedroom and briefly talked about what happened in the court today.

He also discussed with her about Kong Chong's recommendation of his son Kong Yue.
