Chapter 820 Employment
【and also】
Compared with the thrilling burial of the Supreme Emperor, Emperor Longyuan's funeral seemed to be calm, and even far less popular than the Zhongshun Wang Yidang being punished by the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that because of the example of Jia Yucun, Jiao Shun once thought about whether to stuff a few more civil servants who were most hostile to him or the most threatening to him as a deterrent.
But eventually he dropped the idea.
Now whether it's him or those civil servants, no matter how powerful they are, they basically follow the rules, and now the biggest rule-maker is in the hands of him, Jiao, so why should he mess up the rules?
The first day of April.
The little emperor's first court meeting after he ascended the throne was also Jiao Shun's first court meeting after he took office, so the first shot must be fired well, well and beautifully.
So as soon as the red tape was over, Jiao, who had been planning for many days, presented two memorials in succession.
This first cut was made on a private newspaper.
He pointed out that the relevant laws and regulations on newspaper publishing were drawn up during Taizu's lifetime, but now the number, type and scope of newspapers and periodicals have far exceeded the original design plan, and the inside and outside are mixed with black and white. It has produced a lot of bad guidance to the people.
Therefore, I hope that the imperial court can approve it, and the Secretary of General Administration and Dali Temple will work together to formulate a new publishing law to set the record straight.
Ordinarily, the Department of General Administration is the competent department, and Dali Temple is responsible for formulating laws. It is completely logical for the two to negotiate and cooperate to determine the old laws and introduce new ones.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jiao Shun is here to fight for the control of public opinion.
Since ancient times, literati have paid attention to verbal and written criticism, and since newspapers became popular, they quickly became a stage for scholars to quarrel. In recent years, there have been almost as many newspaper articles attacking Jiao Shun as memorials to impeach him.
If this was prohibited by Jiao Shun through strict laws and regulations, wouldn't it be the same as breaking a leg of the scholars?
Some of them are well-informed, and they know that Liu Fang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, has interacted frequently with Jiao Shun recently. If the two of them are working together...
On the spot, more than a dozen officials jumped out to object. Some said that he intended to block the way of speaking to deceive the public, some accused him of exaggerating, and some accused him of carrying the Taizu and opposing the Taizu.
But after all, Jiao Shun came prepared, and immediately threw out tabloids collected from all over the country, each of which was full of pictures and texts, not to mention careful reading, just a glance would make blood boil.
Coincidentally, some of them were 'specialties' from the hometown of the other family, which made those people feel ashamed and shy away.
But this is not Jiao Shun's trump card.
After showing those newspapers, he took out a photo of a copper plate and showed it to everyone: "Everyone, everyone should have heard of the camera jointly developed by the Ministry of Industry and Engineering, right? I dare say that the camera will soon be It will inevitably become smaller and more convenient, and it can even be carried around and taken at any time, and then..."
Someone interrupted him in dissatisfaction: "Master Jiao, we are talking about newspapers now, what do you think the Luoshizi camera is doing?"
Jiao Shun glanced at the other party, and pasted the photo in his hand on the front page of one of the newspapers, replacing an unsightly picture, and then continued: "By then, the photo will definitely replace some of the accompanying pictures in the newspapers. Picture—for example, if Xia Bao wants to report this court meeting now, it can take pictures of the scene in the hall, which is clear, direct, convenient and fast.”
At this time, some people had vaguely guessed what he was going to say.
Seeing Jiao Shun move the photo away again, revealing the picture underneath: "If this kind of accompanying picture becomes a photo of a real person... May I ask what do you guys think? Whether it's okay or not?"
Most of the ministers had gloomy faces, but there were also bright eyes, as if they had discovered the New World.
Of course, some still refused to admit defeat, and jumped out to accuse Jiao Shun of making a camera. If there was no camera, such scandalous things would not have happened.
Jiao Shun didn't bother to pay attention to such completely stupid remarks, and directly proposed to amend the newspaper regulations again.
This time the resistance was significantly less.
However, something went wrong in the end—Cifu He Ge came forward and said that this matter is related to the rise and fall of the cultural context. It is just that the General Secretary and Dali Temple have joined forces, so there may be something to worry about. Submit to Cabinet for consideration.
It can only be said that ginger is still old and spicy.
But Jiao Shun doesn't really care about the conflict between the Ministry of Rites and the cabinet. After all, his biggest advantage is that he has experienced the era of information explosion in later generations. He can't say that he is clear about the tricks in it. At least he can beat everyone present. .
Therefore, even with the supervision of the Ministry of Rites and the deliberation of the cabinet, he is confident that he can still achieve his goal.
Besides, when the new regulations are enacted, how to implement them does not depend on how the Secretary of General Administration interprets them?
When the dust settled on this proposal, Jiao Shun immediately offered a second memorial. This time, he overstepped the authority of the General Secretary himself and pointed his gun at the Imperial Hospital.
He pointed out that due to the lack of an independent training institution, the training of imperial physicians has always been the responsibility of the imperial hospital itself. The selection is not transparent enough, and the selection of talents is not wide enough. It is a common phenomenon that the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are passed down, and some are even inherited all the way from the previous dynasty.
This makes the good and the bad in the imperial hospital mixed, and there are many shams and thugs.
In the past two years, the first emperor had a stroke for no reason, and finally died, and then the Supreme Emperor was killed by a quack doctor. It is hard to say that it has nothing to do with the various chaos in the Tai Hospital.
Therefore, he believes that the Tai Hospital must carry out reforms, at least to separate the institution for training doctors, and set up a medical school following the example of engineering.
Although it was not within his scope of authority, no one jumped out to object to this. After all, two emperors passed away in a very short period of time, so the Taiyuan Hospital could not shirk its responsibility.
Even if Jiao Shun didn't point it out, others would come forward to intervene, but most of them would not think of building a medical school.
But they probably didn't expect that Mr. Jiao had invented a microscope as early as last year. Currently, engineering is working overtime to collect information on germs. He only waits for the medical school to be officially completed before throwing out this bomb, taking the opportunity to seize the right to speak and broaden engineering students. future prospects.
Don't literati often say that if you are not a good look, you can be a good doctor?
Of course, engineering students can also take this path, and those who study science and engineering are naturally more suitable for studying medicine than literature!
In this way, when the third batch of students graduate, in addition to the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the master, the picket team, the Secretary of General Administration, and the telegraph bureaus of various places, they can also be admitted to the medical school and transferred to the imperial physician.
In addition, this proposal is also mixed with some small personal emotions, that is, Jiao Shun hopes to take advantage of the unsteady foothold of Westerners in this area, and strive to fix modern medicine as a 'new Chinese medicine'.
In later generations, Jiao Shun also knew that Chinese medicine was not up to date, but he always felt a little awkward when he heard people say that "Western medicine" must be called "Western medicine". So neutral.
So Jiao Shun really wanted to see if the "new Chinese medicine" he created became the mainstream, would the congresses in Europe and the United States insist on calling it "Chinese medicine".
After playing twice in a row, the goal was basically achieved, and Jiao Shun died down and returned to the train.
Afterwards things were more lackluster.
That is to say, when someone brought up the old matter again, and once again proposed to abolish the Beijing-West Railway, Jiao Shun jumped out to fight with him, and the rest of the time, he basically had nothing to do with himself.
But at the end of the court meeting, Empress Dowager Li, who was sitting behind the bead curtain, suddenly proposed that because of the sudden death of the Supreme Emperor, the concubines' original plan to go out of the palace to visit relatives had to be interrupted.
Now that the court is at ease, it is reasonable to restart the plan and give this generation of concubines the last chance to visit their relatives.
Although many ministers felt that discussing such a trivial issue at such a meaningful court meeting was putting the cart before the horse, they would not jump out and make a fuss over the matter of a few widows returning to their parents' homes.
Besides, this is the authority of the two empress dowagers, and asking for opinions in the court is just a formality.
So tacitly, the proposal was quickly passed.
The date of restarting family visits was set on the fifteenth day of this month—in fact, according to Empress Dowager Wu’s wishes, the sooner the better, the sooner the better, but Empress Dowager Li said that it would take time for the relatives of each family to prepare for their arrival , she barely settled on half a month later.
But this was already the limit of her patience, so after the court was over, she called together all the concubines and announced that the order of visiting relatives this time would still follow the original plan.
Just as the concubine who failed to get her turn a few years ago was about to be happy, Empress Dowager Wu pointed at Jia Yuanchun again and said, "This time, Concubine Jia is the first one to leave the palace."
Now everyone is not happy, why can someone go home twice in a row and still have to be in front every time? !
It wasn't until the Empress Dowager Li came forward that she could stay for two days and one night this time, and return to the palace until the next afternoon, and most of the grievances of the people dissipated—compared with the order, they obviously cherished the time spent with their relatives, After all, after becoming the 'tears of the times', these young and upright concubines have a growing desire for family affection.
Although inexplicably won the first place, Jia Yuanchun was not happy at all.
She vaguely guessed that this visit to relatives was probably a trap set by Empress Dowager Wu against herself, and what made her even more vigilant was that Empress Dowager Li also seemed to play a supporting role in it.
This made Jia Yuanchun feel extremely anxious, but he couldn't figure out what would happen if he returned to his parents' home.
After all, as a widow, she is still sticking to her chastity to the death. How could she have imagined that Mrs. Wang would have an affair?
Speaking of Mrs. Wang, during this period of time, she was also very tender-hearted. She didn't think about tea and food every day. She was entangled all day long whether she should help the evildoers, and guessed what the opportunity Tanchun was talking about.
It wasn't until she heard the news of the resumption of family visits that Mrs. Wang suddenly realized, but then she became more and more entangled, and even sat down and fell ill for a while.
Seeing this, Jia Tanchun first asked Li Wan to spread the news that Mrs. Wang fell ill because she was worried about where the money would come from, and then under the guise of asking for help, he wrote a letter to Jiao Shun, reminding him to stabilize Mrs. Wang in time, So as not to cause trouble when things come to an end.
So it was the third day of junior high school.
By the way, Jiao rushed to Rongguo Mansion with great fanfare. In the past, he would drive straight in, but this time he handed over the post in a proper manner.
The concierge was a little dazed when he received the post, until he heard the word 'Xiapin', he hurriedly asked Uncle Jiao to wait in front of the door, and then he flew in to report.
Not long after, the entire Rongguo Mansion was in an uproar.
Not long after he was released, Jiao Shun was dragged to the back door by Xue Pan for two days. Jia Lian took the lead, and was assisted by Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang next door. Jiao Shun was welcomed into Rongguo Mansion like stars holding the moon. .
And not long after, the dowry gift brought by Jiao Shun became the focus of discussion in the entire family.
Aside from those common four-color gifts, there are two main ones: the ancestral sacrificial fields from my hometown in Nanjing, and 2 taels of white silver.
You must know that the reason why Yingchun married almost married Sun Shaozu as his regular wife was for less than 1 taels.
Now the cash alone has doubled, not to mention that the sacrificial field can be converted into 5 to [-] taels—considering that it was purchased by the first Rong Guogong, this significance cannot be measured by money.
Now you don't have to worry about saving money for your relatives!
And it wasn't until then that everyone knew that Jia Zheng secretly sold the ancestral sacrificial land to Jia Yucun, and that Uncle Jiao redeemed the sacrificial land from Jia Yucun and returned it to the original owner.
Now many old people are secretly scolding Jia Zhengzai for selling his grandfather's land, and then they are very grateful that there is such a capable uncle in the family.
However, even if they wanted to break their heads, they would never have imagined that the prospective son-in-law, whom they praised so much, was currently pressing down the most honorable mistress in the mansion and flirting wantonly.
The clouds scattered and the rain rested.
Hearing the word 'sister', Mrs. Wang, who had just recovered from her trance, looked out of the meditation room shyly. At this time, Tanchun was guarding the living room, escorting her adulterous relationship.
Was the commotion he just made too loud?
"What about you?"
"This……"
Hearing Jiao Shun's urging, Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered that Jiao Shun combed Baochai in this meditation room earlier, and couldn't help complaining: "You hired the third girl, and then gave the treasure girl to...how can you return it?" Not enough?"
"How did you pick yourself out?"
Jiao Shun chuckled, and then said seriously: "I am also forced to have no choice. It's not like you haven't seen that the Empress Dowager Wu is now unscrupulous. The former emperor's favorite concubine was stuffed into a box by her and given to the ministers. Really? In a hurry, what can't she do?"
After a pause, he said softly: "Besides, you also know that the Empress Dowager has already developed a will to die, and we have no choice but to make this move to save her."
Such a combination of hard and soft tactics led to a return to the scene. Under the internal and external blossoms, he finally broke through Mrs. Wang's defenses and made her promise that she would try her best to cooperate with her and Tanchun's plan on the day of visiting relatives.
