Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 448 Appreciation
Looking carefully, Grandma Wang and Grandma Zhang in the east of the city quarreled, and ended up fighting. Grandma Zhang tore off a strand of Grandma Wang's hair. As big as theft, missing persons, and even murder, there were all kinds of cases. There is everything.

All cases are classified in chronological order, and the names of the parties, the cause, process, and result of the incident, the time of occurrence, the time of acceptance, the time of closing the case, all evidence, judgments, etc., are all recorded in detail.It is even more careful than the dossier of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

This surprised Ba Ye a little.After all, Mao Mingxuan was only the same age as him, and he had passed the imperial examination. It can be said that he had no experience in these matters.It can be seen that his handling of each case, case by case, is orderly and well-founded, and it can be said that there are no omissions.

What the fourth master turned over was a booklet recording the local population, fields, and farming conditions.In his last life, he focused on farming, and even opened up a small vegetable field in the palace, and cultivated it himself.So in this respect, he knows more than other princes.

"Master Mao has read agricultural books?" Fourth Master read it for a while, and couldn't help asking.

"Xiaguan has been reading it since he took office. I have finished reading "Qi Min Yao Shu", and now I am reading "Nong Zheng Quan Shu." Mao Mingxuan replied.

"Has Master Mao ever been to the fields?" Fourth Master asked again.

"Yes. I have also worked in the field under the guidance of an old farmer." Mao Mingxuan said, "I have experienced it myself, so I know that it is not easy for farmers."

Fourth master nodded slightly, but did not continue to ask, but everyone heard the conversation.

"Master Mao, your harvest and taxes last year were not very good." An official who followed Kangxi said.

"Because of the snowstorm, the spring plowing in the first half of the year was affected. Although the summer season was robbed, the harvest was reduced by nearly [-]%. The common people have just enough food and clothing, so it is naturally impossible to collect more taxes. What the lower officials think is After the calamity year, the people must be able to fill their stomachs before we can talk about the next step." Mao Mingxuan replied neither humble nor overbearing.

The official looked a little embarrassed, looked down at the booklet in his hand again, and didn't ask any more questions.

"Has everyone finished watching?" Kangxi suddenly asked.

Everyone raised their heads, indicating that they had read it.

"Let's talk about it, what do you want to say?" Kangxi said.

"What I read is about farming. This booklet is not comprehensive, but the recorded data are necessary. With a little improvement, if you keep recording like this every year, you can know the farming situation of the entire Zibo County over the years. It can store grain better and estimate the annual tax." Fourth Master spoke first.

Although there are deficiencies, but generally speaking, it is affirmative. This is a compliment.

The prince was the second to speak, and said: "My son is looking at the taxation of merchants. I don't know the data of previous years, but judging from the excitement on both sides of the street after we entered the city just now, is the tax data Something's wrong?"

Kangxi didn't speak, but looked at Mao Mingxuan, which is what he meant by asking him to explain.Mao Mingxuan hurriedly said: "The emperor once ordered that Zibo County should be exempted from the snowstorm for two years. This includes not only the grain paid by the farmers, but also the tax paid by the merchants, so there are some discrepancies in the data. If the prince has Kong, I can show you the calculation in person.”

The prince smiled, and said, "It's unnecessary for Mr. Mao to do it himself. I'm just confused, so I'll ask a few questions."

"The lower officials are too nervous." Mao Mingxuan smiled and said.His predecessor ended up in prison, no matter how greedy he was, he would not embezzle tax money within a year of taking office!The prince is obviously digging a hole for her.

Once the fourth master and the crown prince open their mouths, the officials present will open up.Some are affirmative and appreciative, but of course there are also those who raise deficiencies, and some are even skeptical.

These archived booklets look good, but who knows what they are?After all, what they see now is what Mao Mingxuan said and did.If he was hiding something, they wouldn't know it.

Kangxi didn't speak, just listened to everyone.But he would look at Mao Mingxuan from time to time, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes.

After a while, everyone present said a few words.Seeing that no one spoke again, Kangxi said, "It seems that everyone has been watching carefully. They have found many shortcomings." After speaking, Kangxi took a special look at Mao Mingxuan, and saw that he was still calm and composed. I am a little impressed.

"Master Mao, do you think everyone is right?"

"Weichen has been in office for less than a year, and there are indeed many shortcomings, but I am doing my best to shoulder the responsibilities that a county magistrate should have. I have regrets, but I have no regrets." Mao Mingxuan replied.

"It's a pity, but it's worthy!" Kangxi suddenly raised his voice, and said, "If you have such a heart, this county magistrate will not be a bad one!"

"This humble minister will definitely not disappoint the trust of the emperor!" Mao Mingxuan knelt down and said.

"Okay! I've written down what you said today." Kangxi nodded and said, "It's getting late today, so let's come here first. I hope you can make achievements in your tenure."

Mao Mingxuan thought that Kangxi would go outside for a walk to see the actual situation.I didn't expect to just sit in the yamen and finish the job. Isn't it too simple?He didn't react for a while, but when he came back to his senses, he found that Kangxi had already got up, so he hurriedly saluted and sent Kangxi off.

The people present were also a little surprised, and various thoughts came into their hearts.

Is the emperor being too fond of this Mao champion?Is this the end of the investigation?Just relying on these things on paper?Is it too childish?
But no one dared to ask, no one dared to question, they could only lament that Mao Mingxuan was so lucky.In the eyes of the emperor, the promotion is just around the corner!
Kangxi entered the Luanjia first, and the prince and the others waited for the servants to bring the horse.When he first arrived at the gate of the county government office, the horses were led by the slaves to the county government's stable to graze grass.

After a while, Mao Mingxuan walked to Ba Ye's side.

"Your official has met Eighth Master." Mao Mingxuan said generously, without any intention of hiding it.

To say that a small county magistrate approached the prince, in the eyes of others, he just wanted to curry favor.Pian Mao Mingxuan's expression was magnanimous, so that people doubted him so much that they had no confidence.

"Well, it's free." Ba Ye said.

"I have something I want to ask Eighth Master." Mao Mingxuan said.

"Tongtong?" Eighth Master raised his eyebrows.

Mao Mingxuan laughed and said, "Master Baylor is really smart, he guessed it right away."

"Master, I see that you haven't cared about your sister yet! The shortcomings I mentioned to you today, no matter whether they are reasonable or unreasonable, you should think about them carefully and try not to be singled out and stabbed next time!" Master Ba Lesson said.
