121 Small insights
He asked about the things that the emperors and ministers in charge of the past dynasties had a great headache, Ling Xiang felt that women should not discuss the government in vain, and wanted to resign tactfully, but after thinking about it, it was difficult for the people to talk to them, maybe they could tell him their thoughts, but they could achieve one or two, so he said: "The concubine has limited knowledge, so she will talk about some small insights, and don't laugh at the wrong highness." ”
Rong Xijue smiled: "Husband and wife are one, what else can't be said?" ”
Ling Xiang cleared his throat: "Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed Confucianism in the hundred schools, Confucianism has been respected in governing the country. ”
"I want to hear about it." Rong Xijue looked at her with a grin.
"The salary of officials in my dynasty is not low, and it is a big burden for the country, and the students of the world study hard, in order not to 'learn literature and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family', it can be seen that there is no shortage of people to be officials."
Naturally, the official would not look at the problem from Ling Xuan's current perspective, let alone give such advice, Rong Xijue had never heard such remarks, and gradually felt reasonable, and slowly smiled.
Seeing him listening intently, Ling Xiang smiled, "Since the officials are paid taxes by the people, they must be re-cured with corruption, and some Legalist methods can be used, once they are found guilty, they will kill chickens and monkeys, so that they can win the hearts of the people, and also make officials taboo." ”
"All the way into the customs, I saw that the people's livelihood was withering, and the praises of the prosperity of the Celestial Empire were not true, naturally it was concealed by officials at all levels, and exploited everywhere, and our dynasty also set up a royal history, a history of inspection, but there are only a few corruption cases every year...... "The more Rong Xijue listened, the more reasonable he felt, and he said.
Ling Makeup was born in the bottom of the people. I knew more deeply, and I couldn't help but say: "I'm afraid that the few incidents that should be in the situation are also caused by political enemies attacking each other, depending on the concubine." Just catch an official and come out, there is no one who is not greedy, even if there are a few who start to aspire to serve the country, after a long time, it is inevitable that they will be in the same stream. ”
"Well, the eldest father also cut a batch in the early years of his accession to the throne, and then turned a blind eye. It's also that the law doesn't blame the public, and it's just helpless. I couldn't help but think of what I said to those ministers in the Golden Palace of the White Sun.
"The army has its own system, since military pay is a burden to the imperial court. It is better to call them to arrest corrupt officials, those civil officials are powerless, and they look down on military attaches on weekdays, if they are found to be greedy for ink and silver, reward the soldiers. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”
It is the civil servants who govern the world. The people are most resentful, and naturally they are also civil officials, and using military generals to arrest civilian officials first will really not lead to any chaos.
Da Yin has always controlled the generals with Wenchen, and the generals have already held back their anger, and Rong Xijue sighed as a confidant: "This statement has won my heart, it turns out that you are not only proficient in medicine, but also the talent of the prime minister." It couldn't have been a better idea. ”
"There are many obstacles to the implementation of many things, and if they are not properly restrained, they will inevitably lead to injustice. The concubine just found another way to mention it casually, lacking thoughtfulness, how could she be ridiculed by His Royal Highness like this. ”
"You've done a great job of finding a new way, and you're going on." Rong Xijue removed the meat rack on the stove and turned to look at her.
Seeing that he was so focused, Ling Jiao's spirit was lifted, and he naturally brought together what he had earned in the past: "The sea ban exists in name only, pirates are rising, but heavy profits attract merchants to venture out to sea, my father started as a sea trader, and I heard him say that there are tens of millions of taels of silver goods in the hands of pirates every year, which is ten or twenty times the income of the treasury." The imperial court should rectify the navy to maintain order at sea and take advantage of pirates, so that the merchants must support it. Commercial tax, mining tax, tea tax, clothing and hat tax should be collected by the imperial court in different places as appropriate, and after the regulations are formulated, if local officials set up cards and collect them indiscriminately, they will be punished as greedy ink. In this way, the merchants were less exploited and the treasury was full. ”
Rong Xijue thought for a while and said: "I understand the first few taxes, what you said is very reasonable, but even the clothing and hat tax is also collected, isn't it a harsh tax and miscellaneous taxes?" ”
Ling Xiang covered his mouth and smiled: "Your Highness, concubines refer to those rich merchants and wealthy families, they want to wear arrogant clothes all day long, and some of them even wear them at home or cover them in ordinary clothes, which is uncomfortable...... Python robe, as long as the shape is different, and the official uniform is not messed up, why not let go of it, this is also the rich family's own search, not the food and clothing of the people. ”
Rong Xijue nodded, but he didn't reject it: "It's the embroidered dragon, so what, you can charge a few more percent according to the grade." ”
Ling Xiang teased: "I'm afraid that the ministers will admonish and say that the court has lost etiquette and law." ”
"I really asked the generals to clean up, they didn't have time to take care of themselves, even if there was this voice, they would be like partridges singing in the wild, so there was nothing to worry about."
The two also discussed some issues such as land annexation, which the peasants had been most concerned about for thousands of years, and worked together to calculate the officials and wealthy households in the world.
In the middle of the conversation, Ling Makeup suddenly sighed.
Rong Xijue inquired with his eyes.
She stared at the bright fire, and said faintly: "Many things, about easier said than done, otherwise there is no one in the world who is loyal to the king and the country?" If you ask different people to do something, the result will be different. What's more, the officialdom is pulling the thread and climbing the vines, such as 'the eaves are dripping from generation to generation, and the new officials are not counted as the old official accounts', and the folk sing the 'ten ridiculous' of the imperial court...... It's all something that the officials can't hear, but it's a fact. ”
Rong Xijue looked at her dark eyes full of solemnity, and her heroic spirit rose spontaneously, and she had the intention to tease her: "Although I heard your words reasonable, I found that your father had indeed done many forbidden things!" How so? ”
His face was cold, it was really scary, Ling Xiang seemed to see the Yama Luo in the Qinggong arena again, and he was shocked, and the thought of "unpredictable monarchy" came up, and he hurriedly wanted to stay and ask for guilt.
Rong Xijue was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she didn't dare to play anymore, so she pulled it and said with a smile: "It looks amazing, but I can't help but be scared!" ”
Ling Xiang was already frightened, and he also laughed at himself for not being able to hold his breath, and did not hide his grievances: "Your Highness, do the soldiers know that you look like this?" ”
Rong Xijue laughed, and then lowered her voice and said in her ear: "You know? ”
In fact, he has been accustomed to being serious since he was a child, even in front of Lu Nengkui, he never behaved like a child, but he was completely relaxed in front of Ling Makeup, and unexpectedly found that he also had another side, and he couldn't say anything with emotion.
After sitting for a long time, his knees were hot, and Ling Makeup pushed away the mink fur and exhaled softly.
Rong Xijue said: "If you are not afraid of the cold, go out for a walk." ”
Ling makeup went to the ground, Rong Xijue wrapped her mink fur for her, her body was longitudinal, she had already come out of the low window, and turned around and reached out to pick it up.
Ling Makeup was supposed to walk through the door in a proper manner, and it was also interesting at this time.
Rong Xijue hugged her waist and limbs, and had already hugged her under the yellow plum blossom branches, the ice and snow were almost like her skin, it was really a posture of Gu Jiao, people were better than flowers, and she wanted to kiss her again, Ling Makeup pointed to the end of the flower path, and avoided it lightly. (To be continued.) )
