{Thank you to my friend Luo Xianchao Zi Kuang Ji for the monthly pass} The post post of the Ming Dynasty was notorious, one of which was the expropriation of post silver, the expropriation of tyranny, and the harm to the people, and the second was the extortion of the post post, the fraud of personal gain, and the reputation was extremely poor, many historians only saw Chongzhen expelling Li Zicheng, but they were affected by some indescribable reasons, and deliberately ignored Li Zicheng's working environment.
It is no exaggeration to say that there are almost no good people in the post station, even if Chongzhen does not remove, there will be problems sooner or later.
And the root of all this lies in the confusion of ownership, the post guards are under the jurisdiction of the political envoy and the inspection envoy, and they themselves have already been in charge of the government, and they are also the identity of soldiers, and they have many orders, but no one cares about them, so that the post guards are mostly played by local ruffians and hooligans, forming a vicious circle.
In modern times, the postal service is different, the military and the civilian are strictly separated, and it is a semi-official organization with the purpose of making profits.
Yang Yan nodded and said: "Gu Zheng has this intention, you can set up post offices in various cities to facilitate the people to receive letters and collect letters, and charge a certain fee, and considering that the literacy rate of the people is not high, you can also hire some down-and-out literati to stay at the post office for a long time, write and read letters on behalf of you, as for government orders and military information, it is still used for 600 miles of expedited transmission, which is strictly distinguished from civilian postal services."
Yang Yan elaborated on the concept of postal services, stamps and postmarks, and several people present seemed to understand it, but they faintly felt that the meaning of postal services is not only as simple as transmitting letters, but also to promote the flow and exchange of people, and perhaps can profoundly affect an era.
Originally, the feudal dynasties paid attention to static movement and restrained the people on the land, which was the best strategy for governing the country, but don't forget that the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was a special period of great movement of people, and even the scholars themselves ran around to talk about the ordinary people Therefore, mobility is not excluded, and the development of industry and commerce also requires the flow of people and information.
Cui Wan groaned: "The old man understands, according to what the king said, the postal service should be beneficial to the people, and can be collected through the fee, subsidize the expenses, or there is a surplus, this matter is feasible, but the old man still suggests that the king can first build a postal road from Luoyang to Tancheng, trial operation, and then see the after-effects." ” Cui Wan is old in the end, and his governing style is cautious, which happens to complement Yang Yan, Yang Yan is still very satisfied with Cui Wan, Lao Cheng Mouguo, is talking about this kind of person.
Yang Yan said: "According to Cui Gong, after the recruitment examination in the fall of this year, the General Post Office can be set up among the candidates, and strive to start operating at the end of the year. ” Just when everyone said a word, I expressed my opinions, Zhuge Yi also returned to Jiankang, looking at the familiar gatehouse, his heart was full of mixed feelings, he was Taixing four years by Wang Di Zheng to Xiapi to take office, I thought that one or two years can go back to Jiankang for promotion, but I didn't expect that this went for five years, witnessed the earth-shaking changes in Huaibei, and his life trajectory has also changed significantly When he went to Xiapi, Zhuge was old and forty, and now he is forty and five, and he has a lot of feelings about leaving home.
"Big brother, big brother" At this time, there was an excited call at the city gate, and Zhuge Yi saw that it was his own brother Zhuge Hui, and had three sons, Zhuge Yong, Zhuge Yu and Zhuge Heng, and his old friends Yang Jian and Wang Bin were getting off the carriage one after another.
"Haha, Brother Daohui, Brother Daohui, I can't imagine that you and I will say goodbye, and there will be a day of reunion in our lifetime."
When he got closer, Yang Jian laughed, revealing joy from the bottom of his heart.
Yes, no matter how intrigue there was in Xiapi at the beginning, but Xiapi has been captured by the Ming army, Wang Di also died of illness, Yang Jian lost the responsibility of the city, and was idle at home, everything has become a thing of the past.
"Meet Uncle" Zhuge Hui's three sons also saluted Zhuge Yi.
"Good, good" Zhuge Yi nodded again and again, tears flashed in his eyes, he had no children, and the heirs of his second brother were regarded by him as his own.
"Huh" Wang Bin was surprised: "Brother Daohui, why are you wearing an official uniform?"
The crowd also noticed it and was surprised.
The Ming Kingdom has not changed its official uniform, the same as the Jin Dynasty, the civil officials wear black robes, the military generals wear soap robes, and the rank is distinguished by the crown and hat, this set of clothing has been passed down from the Han Dynasty to the present, and it has a history of hundreds of years, unlike the later generations with various complement patterns to show their identity.
Yang Yan felt that this kind of official uniform was simple, simple and economical, so he did not change it.
"Hey" Zhuge Yi sighed heavily: "It's a long story, the old man has already served the Ming Kingdom, and was appointed by the King of Ming as a servant of the confessor, sent an envoy to Jiankang, and collected the relics of the five masters of the Jin family as a clothing mound."
"This" With Zhuge Yi's story, everyone looked sluggish, and they defected to the enemy No wonder King Ming would put him back.
Wang Bin and Yang Jian exchanged more understanding glances.
The Zhuge family has always had a tradition of avoiding the three caves, such as Zhuge Liang Shi Liu Bei, Zhuge Jinshi Sun Wu, Zhuge Birthday Shi Cao Wei, and now Zhuge Hui Shi Jin, Zhuge Yi went to the Ming Kingdom, which inevitably makes people think in that direction.
After being stunned, Wang Bin laughed: "It's good that Brother Hui is safe, Brother Ah Long has to know that Brother Hui is back, and he can't help but be overjoyed, but he is slightly ill, so let me come to greet Brother Hui and come to the house, please" In the eyes of outsiders, Zhuge Clan, Yang Clan and Langya Wang Clan are one, Director Wang is invited, but it is not abrupt, it just so happens that Zhuge Yi also wants to see Director Wang, so he arched his hand and said: "Then there is work." ” The group boarded the carriage and drove towards the city.
Wang Dao is in his fifties, but he has a mild temperament and advocates moderation, and in the past few years, he has almost been idle, simply cultivating his mind, and his appearance is like forty people, wearing a white shirt, his eyes are bright, and he simply waits outside the door.
"Haha, Zhuge Dao back, come on, come on, come quickly" Seeing the carriages and horses parked on the side of the road one after another, when Zhuge Yi got out of the car, Director Wang immediately waved happily.
"I've seen Brother Aaron" Zhuge Yi stepped forward quickly and gave a deep salute.
"It doesn't have to be this way, it doesn't have to be this way" Director Wang took Zhuge Yi for him, looked at it carefully, and then said with a smile: "In the past, Xiao'er soared into the sky, which was really unexpected by us. ” "That's right" Zhuge Yi followed the king's guidance.
The mansion of the Langya Wang family covers a huge area, a piece of the park, inhabited by a core clan, Wang Dao led everyone to walk slowly, to Zhuge Hui three sons casually introduced the scenery along the way, the three of them listened attentively, with a faint envy in their eyes.
Unconsciously, there have been several corridors, and a flower arch appeared, with the three words of Jinliang Garden written on it.
Jinliang Garden is located in the back of the royal house, covers an area of grandeur, from Huaishui to Qingxi, all are within the scope of this garden, the pines and cypresses in the garden are planted all over, the green bamboo becomes a forest, mixed with various fruit trees, the pavilions and buildings are hidden in the meantime, the eaves look around, the scenery is different, the natural elegance is interesting, the beauty is overwhelming, and standing in the garden to look out, you can see the egret island, the two water are divided, the willow trees are planted all over the continent, the scenery is picturesque, sometimes there are egrets circling and flying over, it is really a fairyland on earth.
"Please sit down at will" Director Wang had already ordered someone to put a few cases in the garden, and then he smiled and stretched out his hand.
The surrounding body is full of green trees and flowers, as if washing away the red dust and turbidity, and the heart is extremely open-minded.
Everyone sat down one after another, of course, on the bright side, Wang Dao was still in the main position.
After the delicate and lovely little maid served the tea, Director Wang asked about what he had seen in the Ming Kingdom, after all, it was said by Zhuge Yi, a first-hand witness, that compared with the conclusions analyzed by various intelligences, the depth and perspective were different.
"I'm ashamed to say it, the old man was captured by the King of Ming, his heart was sad, he drank all day long, and the King of Ming took pity on him, and wanted to send me back to Jiankang, the old man felt shameless to see the old people in Jiangjiangdong again, so he didn't allow it, and until the establishment of the Ming Kingdom, he was touched, and then the Ming army collected Wanluo, went south to Jingxiang, and stationed troops fifty miles away from Chang'an, only to wake up, maybe the world is really going to change" Zhuge Yi did not hide it, starting from his own mental journey, as well as the various current situations of the Ming Kingdom, and even Xi Jian's slander of Yang Yan behind his back, they were also one by one.
Xi Jian has always been dissatisfied with Yang Yan, he gathered tens of thousands of people, crossed the river wholeheartedly, was calculated by Yang Yan, defeated one after another, and almost died of illness, and finally captured Tancheng alive, it is impossible to say that there is no resentment.
Yang Yan doesn't care about him, people like Xi Jian can't make a big deal, let him scold him, and he can still leave a generous reputation.
Everyone in the banquet listened attentively, and the Ming Kingdom from Zhuge Yi's mouth was more in line with the perspective of the scholars.
This talk is more than half an hour, Zhuge Yi is like a chatter possessed, no matter how big or small, chattering, all kinds of heart-wrenching words are taken out of the brain, just the tea drank several cups, until the maid offered peaches, apricots and other seasonal fresh fruits, only ended with a sigh. 。
