Chapter 366 Political Rules! My Wife is Coming Back!
When Gu Jing heard this, he immediately became energetic!
The reason why he said so much without any reservation was to convince Dong Zhentang.
Judging from the current situation, he had no doubt that Dong Zhentang could be trusted, but their relationship had only been average before. If Qiao Zhen hadn't acted as a middleman, he wouldn't have been sure that Dong Zhentang would agree to help him.
Now with Qiao Zhen's kindness and Gu Jingzhi's expression of future value, Dong Zhentang finally agreed.
Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "What I just said to you was about the law and market rules. However, before the market rules become accustomed to by the people of the world, it is inevitable that someone will use their power to interfere with the circulation of the new currency in the market!"
"The aristocratic families are deeply entwined in the officialdom. If they were to use their power to interfere, it would be quite troublesome!"
"But the local administration cannot control the military..."
Dong Zhentang's mind suddenly became clear upon hearing this. He said with a half-smile, "You want me to borrow the name of the Ministry of War to mobilize local troops when needed to help you stabilize the area and prevent chaos?"
"exactly!"
Gu Jingzhi said sternly, "Of course, I won't make it difficult for Minister Dong. As long as the other party doesn't use force to coerce, the local garrison doesn't need to be dispatched. All I ask is that the local government implement the new currency without any trouble!"
"By the way, if local implementation encounters resistance and requires legal enforcement, the local army will suppress it. For anything else, I won't bother the Ministry of War and Minister Dong!"
"..."
Dong Zhentang thought for a moment and said, "Well, that's fine! When you introduce the new currency, just let me know. I'll send a letter from the Ministry of War, and the local garrison will be dispatched when needed. But I have a question!"
He looked at Gu Jingzhi.
Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "Minister Dong, if you have any concerns, just tell me!"
"You hold the Great Xia Dragon Bird in your hands. Not only can you mobilize a battalion of troops from the local garrison, but even the border troops. Why don't you just give the order?"
"Minister Dong, are you testing me?"
Gu Jingzhi smiled bitterly and said, "Administrative principles... rules are most important. Although I believe that what I do is beneficial to Daxia, and I have the power to act at my own convenience, if a country's politics does not rely on laws and public opinion but relies solely on power... the country will eventually be in chaos!"
Doing things according to the system is based on the law.
Holding the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword, he can act at his own discretion and mobilize troops without the approval of the imperial court and the Ministry of War. This is power.
But to put it bluntly, this kind of power is entirely based on personal will, which is not a rule.
Official letters from the Ministry of War cannot mobilize border troops, but they can mobilize local garrisons. This is the court's system, so Gu Jingzhi had to find Dong Zhentang.
Dong Zhentang nodded in satisfaction upon hearing what he said, and said with a smile, "I know that His Majesty values you, but I was also worried at first about you holding so much power at such a young age. After all, the Great Xia Dragon Bird has always been in your hands, and as the Minister of War, I do have some concerns!"
"But after hearing what you said today, I feel relieved! His Majesty praised you as a national hero, which is indeed a wise and insightful statement!"
Uh……
We are praised again!
……
After the New Year, the capital city gradually became lively.
During the Lantern Festival, scholars, officials and ladies rushed to the streets to see lanterns, visit temple fairs and guess lantern riddles!
Secondly, the spring examination was approaching, and many scholars had arrived in the capital one after another. Perhaps they were afraid of missing the exam, so they came early, or perhaps they wanted to use their connections to get a better ranking. In short, there were many reasons.
However, these seemed to have nothing to do with Gu Jingzhi. Now that the court had begun, he had endless things to do. Fortunately, his thoughts were straightened out, so he didn't seem flustered.
However, his reputation as the top scholar and his legendary promotion to the third rank in just three years still attracted many students to visit him.
In response to this, Gu Jingzhi naturally closed the door and ignored it.
joke.
During the last spring imperial examination, Gu Jingzhi exposed the cheating of the Gu family, and Emperor Xia was furious. This year, Emperor Xia was determined to crack down on the cheating in the imperial examination.
He is now going to open his house to receive the candidates for the imperial examinations, and who knows what kind of trouble may arise!
However, the ministers in the court knew about these things but others did not. So, even though Gu Jingzhi still had not met anyone, those people were diligent and came to visit his house in groups every day!
On this day, Gu Jingzhi was taking a day off and enjoying the company of a beautiful woman. Look... the housekeeper Jiang Feng came again!
Gu Jingzhi looked at him helplessly: "Didn't I tell you that no matter who comes, as long as they want to discuss the imperial examination or exchange knowledge, I won't see them!"
What you call exchanging knowledge is nothing more than asking for favors from officials.
If a person only thinks about getting a job before taking the exam, he may not be able to be a good official even if he has talent.
This is different from the ancient times. Once the disciple-disciple relationship is confirmed, the connection between the two in their careers will be huge. If you are fine on your own, why would you provoke some unknown risks?
Although recruiting some disciples would be useful to him in the future in the court, now is not the right time for him.
Jiang Feng was not surprised to see his own garrison refused again, but he looked a little embarrassed.
"Master, even if you don't want to see them, you still have to find a way to get rid of these talented people! Besides, not all of those outside are seeking official positions. Many of them admire your knowledge."
As a steward from an official family, he has seen too many things like this!
No one can guarantee that there will be a few talented people among the later officials. It is best to appease such people if possible, not to mention...
He sighed softly and said, "My Lord, you haven't been seen in public for a long time, and rumors have started circulating about you. In my humble opinion, you should appease these people and avoid letting them take advantage of you!"
"..."
The corners of Gu Jingzhi's mouth twitched. What Jiang Feng said made some sense. He thought about it, picked up a pen and started writing on a piece of paper.
After a while, he blew the ink dry.
"Na!"
"Have someone make a sign and put it at the door. If they still don't stop, just ignore them!"
Jiang Feng took it and looked at it, and a smile appeared on his face.
"My Lord, you have a solution. I will do it right away!"
With that said, he was about to turn around and leave.
"and many more!"
Gu Jingzhi suddenly called out to him, and Jiang Feng turned around: "Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"Well!"
Gu Jingzhi nodded slightly and asked, "How long has it been since Madam last wrote back?"
"It's been a month!"
Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said, "Madam and the others will arrive in the capital in a few days!"
In a few days...
Gu Jingzhi complained slightly in his heart.
This was too inconvenient in ancient times. Not only could we not communicate at any time, but we couldn't even be sure how long the journey would take.
Originally, Chen Yu and the others would come back later, but Gu Jingzhi had written a letter before and transferred a lot of people to Beijing. I guess they felt it was troublesome, so all of Gu Jingzhi's family members came back together.
By the way, his second uncle and third uncle came together.
The second uncle was there to help him with some things, and the third uncle was just there to accompany his son to the Spring Examination and take a walk or something!
Lin Yong participated in this year's spring examination.
Gu Jingzhi thought about it, and there was nothing else to do. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, go and send those people at the door first..."
