Li Yiqi's family was poor and lost his father in his early years. He only had one widowed mother to raise him. He suffered a lot when he was young. Fortunately, his widowed mother was strong and wanted her son to become a successful person. She wanted Li Yiqi to study hard and would be promising in the future.

Li Yiqi was also successful. He passed the scholar at the age of 21, but he still failed to pass the exam twice.

He is already twenty-six years old this year. After getting married and having children, his family has become even more difficult. Uncle Qi is a Li Zheng, and he takes good care of them on weekdays. At the same time, he is also looking forward to Li Yiqi passing the exam.

You should know that if a juren comes from a village, then life will be easier in the entire village.

Whether it is an official or a farmer at home, the benefits to the village are self-evident.

"You have heard about the imperial court recruiting civil servants?" Uncle Qi glanced at Li Yiqi, drank the wine in his mouth in one mouthful, and then smiled and said, "Do you want to go over and give it a try?"

Li Yiqi was stunned. Of course he heard about this news. Although it didn't take long, it had spread all over it.

Uncle Qi's meaning is of course Li Yiqi. This is not asking himself, but wanting to give it to himself. Which scholar doesn't want to pass the Jinshi exam? Although he knows that not everyone can pass, Li Yiqi is still unwilling to give up like this.

"I often hear scholars say that reading is reasonable. I don't know what you scholars think, but in our opinion, studying is to be an official."

"Whether it is Guangyao's family or Guangyao's ancestors, it is still an official. In the past, he could only be an official, but there was no one in the court and no money in the family. Even the Juren could not be an official, but at least he could be a rich man."

"If you want to make a complete comeback, you can only pass the Jinshi exam, but this Jinshi is not that easy to take."

Listening to Uncle Qi's words, Li Yiqi was silent. Of course, he knew that Uncle Qi was telling the truth. Not to mention the Jinshi, he took the exam twice in a row, and even failed to pass the exam, let alone the Jinshi.

"Uncle Qi doesn't understand what this civil servant is, but Uncle Qi knows that he can be an official."

"It's good to be an official. It doesn't matter if you are a little smaller. You can slowly rise. If you can be a magistrate, then the ancestral tomb in Lijia Village will be filled with smoke." Uncle Qi said this and drank another glass of wine.

Li Yiqi was silent again. He really didn't know how to tell Uncle Qi.

"Your mother is getting older and older, and her children are getting older, and her son is going to marry. This is all for money. If you become an official, it will be different. The girl from Zhao Juren, the next door, can also be ordered for your son."

"If you don't go, let alone Zhao Juren's girl, I'm afraid I can only marry the daughter of Wang Carpenter Wang in the next village, right?"

Although there is a scholar who is famous, Li Yiqi is a poor scholar. Perhaps he has a halo to ordinary people, but those who have seen the world are despised by others. What's more, he is not a scholar, but the son of a scholar.

"It would be fine if your son could pass the exam to the scholar, but if he couldn't pass the exam!" Uncle Qi stopped and didn't continue.

Li Yiqi picked up the wine glass for the first time and then smiled and said, "Uncle Qi, I actually want to give it a try if you don't say it."

"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Uncle Qi glared at his eyes and said loudly.

"I don't think you're so satisfied, so let me say more!" Li Yiqi smiled, picked up the wine pot and poured a glass for Uncle Qi, and then said, "Thank you Uncle Qi!"

Uncle Qi took the wine glass, took a sip with a smile and said, "Do work hard and strive for a promising person, don't embarrass our Lijia Village."

Forbidden City, Wenhua Hall.

Since the news of civil servants spread, there have been a lot of discussion outside, and the court naturally has not been peaceful. Zhu Yijun has received many memorials these days, some of whom are in favor and some are against, and it is very lively for a while.

After putting down a memorial to impeach the Minister of Revenue Zhang Xueyan, Zhu Yijun rubbed his forehead.

Although I had expected this situation a long time ago, Zhu Yijun still had a headache at this time. After looking at Zhang He who was standing aside, Zhu Yijun sighed helplessly. This is because the people around him are not caring!

If it were Zhang Jing, he would never have sent so many memorials to him.

At most, I only chose some representative ones, but Zhu Yijun couldn't blame Zhang He, because he had been following him for too short.

He picked up another memorial, and Zhu Yijun found that it was the one who impeached Zhang Xueyan. It seemed that his words not only did not play any role, but instead made people see the opportunity. There were many provocative words in this memorial!

Obviously someone has set his sights on Zhang Xueyan's position and thinks this time is an opportunity.

The content of the impeachment is also very simple. The Minister of Revenue regulates the world's finances, how can he force the emperor to "no money"? This is not the way of a humble minister. He wrote a lot of things in a row. The purpose is also very simple, just to get rid of Zhang Xueyan.

Whether it is Zhang Xueyan's resignation from office in anger or the emperor's resignation, just leave the position freed.

Every time something big happens, it must be accompanied by personnel struggles, and Zhu Yijun has long been used to it.

"I'll call the court tomorrow!" Zhu Yijun thought for a while and ordered Zhang He behind him. At this time of argument, it was time to make a decision. In fact, Zhu Yijun did not think about fully implementing civil servants. He really couldn't stand it if he did that.

The facts are as Zhang Xueyan said. If there is nothing else, the court's finances will not be able to stand it first.

The next morning, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Six Ministers of the Ministry of Justice gathered at Wenhua Hall again.

Everyone's expressions were very serious, and everyone knew that it was the critical time. Many people looked at Chen Hou, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. The matter was not surprising at all. This time it was the most exciting thing he had inspired.

Ninety percent of the comments that agree with are from his subordinates, but most of the others are silent.

When Zhu Yijun walked in, the atmosphere in the hall was very serious. After seeing the greeting, Zhu Yijun slowly spoke: "The court has made a decision about civil servants, and it is time to come up with a decision."

"I have also read the memorials of my beloved ministers, some of whom objected and some of whom agreed with me."

"This is very good. We need to have different opinions. Everyone is dedicated to the country. This is very good. Regarding civil servants, I think we can find a place to try first!" Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "If you have a say, some are not, then find a place to try."

"I will know whether it is good or not, I don't know what everyone thinks?"

Find a place to try it?

Of course, it is much better than the full implementation, but the minister still did not let go of his heart. Shen Shixing said first: "Where is your Majesty who thinks it is appropriate to try it out?"

"I thought about it and the location of a county should be appropriate!" Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "As for choosing He County, I think Daxing County is very good. Daxing County belongs to Shuntian Prefecture, and is at the foot of the emperor and is close to the capital."

"If there is anything wrong, it will also help the court to make timely adjustments."

When Shen Shixing heard the name Daxing County, he felt a little nervous.

There was nothing in Daxing County, but now there is something. Who is the county magistrate of Daxing County? That is Hai Rui! Hai Rui was demoted some time ago, and Shen Shixing also thought that the emperor was going to cause trouble.

But after waiting for so long, the emperor has not made any moves. Now when talking about Daxing County, it is obviously no coincidence!

None of the ministers present didn't know that Daxing County was really because Hai Rui was so famous. He had a trick to going to Daxing County. Now that he thought of civil servants, the answer was about to come out. The emperor was prepared for it!

"Your Majesty, Daxing County is the foot of the emperor. It is a place where the people are worthy of money. If there is anything wrong with it, it will have a great impact!"

Shen Shixing didn't want Hai Rui to do this, because once he handed this matter to Hai Rui, the cabinet would lose control. Who wouldn't know that Hai Rui was a stubborn donkey and wouldn't sell anyone's face!

"It is better to choose a suitable county by the cabinet to try it out, so as not to cause turmoil."

Zhu Yijun glanced at Shen Shixing and said with a smile: "Your dear words are wrong. I think Daxing County is very suitable. I have carefully selected it. In other words, Daxing County is only a county in the area of ​​a county."

"There is no such thing as being at the foot of the emperor. Just settle it!"

There is no room for negotiation about this matter. If it weren't for Hai Rui to do it, why would he have to spend so much effort? An official like Hai Rui who dares to think and do, but has no selfish intentions is hard to find!

Zhu Yijun, no matter what they thought, he decided to do this matter directly.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yijun chose to use Shen Shixing. In fact, Shen Shixing is really not considerate and often has less ability. Compared with his predecessors, it is not a little worse.

But this is what Zhu Yijun values, and he cannot control the entire civil service system.

Once a strong and capable chief assistant appears, like Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, it will be troublesome. As for Zhang Siwei and Chen Yu, Zhu Yijun dare not use it at all, because if he really uses it, he might be the next Yan Song.

Yan Song is obedient enough, but he has done a lot of dirty things in private, which is even more harmful than that.

At this time, a cabinet chief like Shen Shixing is exactly what he needs.

The six ministers of the ministers were all capable officials and were not that strong. Zhu Yijun would like to thank Zhang Juzheng for this. After all, the tough ministers were basically taken away by Zhang Juzheng, and the current court officials were basically capable.

On the other hand, they also support reform to some extent, not so rigid and pedantic.

Maybe they have problems of this and that, love power and money, but aren’t the officials of the Ming Dynasty like this? It can also be said that officials have always been like this, and this is impossible. If you want to find a perfect alternative to them, Zhu Yijun doesn’t have the ability to do so.
