"You are General Chen? He is so young and promising! When I saw the general paying a message the day before yesterday, the master specifically told you to take it to the study room when you come, and you don't have to wait outside."

In front of the Grand Secretary's Mansion, the young man in the middle-aged man was slightly hunched over his head, his back was clean and tidy, his body was strong, his expression was humble and polite, and he even had a little pleasing, but he was only pleasing and without any flattery.

If he was in a different place, Chen Mu would only think that this was the butler of a noble family. Apart from his slightly reserved expression that the butler should not have, he had no surprise. Who would have thought that such a general person with no minor official position and leaving this mansion would be chatting and laughing with Jinyi Commander. Officials from all over the country were all responsible for his brothers, and his power was inclined to be in China and abroad?

The butler is also different from the butler because he is Zhang Juzheng's butler, You Qi.

"You must be Brother You. Brother Xu, the commander of Jinyi, mentioned it with Chen, saying that Brother You often promotes his juniors and is a famous loyal elder in the capital. When we first met, Chen didn't bring anything that we could do, and he also gave them all the local products in his hometown. It happened that he had made a few small paintings a few days ago and gave you a copy."

Chen Mu nodded and smiled, saluted slightly, asked where the study room was, and gave a wink at Long Junxiong beside him, and walked towards the study room.

Long Junxiong followed the salute and took out a few inches of paper with cinnabar and blue indigo stains on it. He drew abstract white zodiac lions on the small paper, and wrote twisted small characters on both sides. Linjiangxian on the left and Niannujiao on the right. He wrote randomly. In the large piece of white space and writing in two or two large characters - Chen Mu, and stamped with the seal of General Zhenshuo.

You Qi looked carefully and felt that Chen Mu was playing tricks on him.

Why do you give this ghost talisman to yourself? Why not keep it and fold it up and put the legs on the table!

And the two big words in it are really not good to look good!

You Qi held a paper painting in his hand and looked up blankly at Long Junxiong who was waiting in front of the mansion. He seemed to notice You Qi's gaze. Long Junxiong looked up at the horizon as if nothing had happened and watched the clouds roll and unfold.

The butler read both poems on the ghost painting talisman, and found that there was a line of smaller words in the middle of the poem: "Those who hold this painting will exchange for a thousand taels of silver at the Hexingsheng Hall in the capital."

You Qi put the drawing paper into his sleeve with satisfaction, without even folding it. The martial artist who looked at Wang Yun was a little appreciative and went forward to talk to him.

Mansion study room.

Chen Mu didn't wait long in the study when he saw Zhang Juzheng slowly entering the room wearing a thin cloak and a wide robe, as if he had just woken up. Chen Mu quickly got up and saluted.

Zhang Juzheng sat down at the main seat and said, "Shishou Chen is busy with affairs in Xuanfu, so it must be a matter of coming here in person. There is no need to be polite, please speak out."

"It's not important to come last, but I want to ask the Master to know about some things." Chen Mu said, taking out the handbooks on both sides of his sleeve and handing them over to Zhang Juzheng, saying: "First of all, because Mr. Gao ordered ministers to go out every year to see the past, and the performance of the author was inspired by the current situation. He used it to ask the Master to read it."

"oh?"

Zhang Juzheng took the handbook and looked through it. He was silent on his face, but he couldn't help but nodded gently, and said while looking: "Does Mr. Gao think this handbook is inappropriate?"

"The last one will not show it to the old man."

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he suddenly looked up and asked, "Why?"

"It is extremely wise for the elders to establish ministers in four ways. The elders are also very proud of them, so they think it is inappropriate to offer other laws at this time."

Zhang Juzheng looked at Chen Mu and smiled. He didn't say much about this matter. He continued to look down at the back of the handbook and said, "There is a handbook under the paperweight in the corner of the table. Open it and see. It is the method of examination that I have been preparing for for a long time. After several modifications, it will be the prototype of the current situation. Chen Shuai looked at it and told me which is better, which is better, or the method of performance."

How to get the test?

The most well-known thing in Zhang Juzheng's reform was the whip method, but its greatest achievement was to rectify the examination method of excellent results in the administration. Chen Mu quickly opened his handbook and looked at it. For a moment, the two of them had only the sound of looking through the handbook in the study, and looked at each other's achievements, and could hear the needle.

The examination method is a set of interlocking regulations to improve the efficiency of officials and supervise each other. Compared with this, Chen Mu's performance focuses on improving efficiency. He survives the fittest with hard indicators of merit within officials, but due to Chen Mu's identity, there is not much supervision mechanism.

It’s not that there is no, but that Chen Mu doesn’t write it.

Soon, Zhang Juzheng raised his head and said to Chen Mu: "I have finished reading it. Chen Shuai thought that two methods are better?"

"Test the test!"

Chen Mu said firmly: "The Six Departments of Inspection and Inspection of the Law are much more comprehensive in terms of mutual restraint than what I think about."

"Don't underestimate yourself. Chen Shuai's performance is also very good. This is summarized during training and there are also reference points. If the test method is implemented in the future, it will be called the test performance method. Chen Shuai, I'm afraid I will learn from your performance method."

Chen Mu smiled indifferently, this was his purpose, and hurriedly said: "As long as the court can use it, it will not be written in vain."

"Where is this?" With the first handwritten book, Zhang Juzheng was more interested in the second handwritten book, "What's the method?"

"That was a private message, which wrote about the performance report of the intercom, the Military Weapon Bureau, Wanquan Defense Line, and the idea of ​​subsiding the surplus of 160,000 yuan a year into the court's Ministry of Revenue. It is the right to be used as a coal tax, because Wanquandushi's deposit of the bank is enough to be self-sufficient, and it will be useless to hold this money."

Zhang Juzheng looked up at Chen Mu, opened his handbook and shook his head, "I have seen many honest generals, but those who make money for the court like Chen Shuai... are ignorant. Don't you build a ship and go to sea?"

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, couldn't react and smiled, then replied: "Go back to the court, now the imperial court is building ships, so there is no need to bother with the last general."

It seems that Gao Gong has been angry with Zhang Juzheng about his own affairs, and he doesn't seem to be disgusted with what he said about Nanzheng.

Zhang Juzheng looked at it roughly, closed the book, and said, "Shishou Chen has worked hard for the past department. Thank you for your hard work. You, the general, have more things to think about than Master Li!"

Li Ge Lao said Li Chunfang. Chen Mu understood half of this. He did more things than Li Chunfang. After all, Li Chunfang's strengths are writing Qing Ci.

"Successful ministry?"

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "It is the matter of the Minister of Works, the Ministry of Works, to establish a provincial military weapon bureau; opening a martial arts hall is the responsibility of the Minister of War."

"Two handwritten books, one of which talks about the Minister of Personnel. This book calls Junyu and craftsmen a handicraft craftsman, advocates the construction of factories, and proposes that the court draw 10% of the business tax on merchants and encourages business. It seems that it does not advocate agriculture-based, which is more thorough than the Minister of Revenue."

"Sometimes ago, I also talked to the governor Wu Dui about detaining foreign vassal states and wanted to lead a fleet to conquer the tribute states in the south. This is barely considered the Minister of Rites."
