Chapter 258: Windfall

Human society, to put it bluntly, is a whole composed of countless classes. And this whole contains countless interest groups. The so-called interest groups range from the state to a family or individual. They all have their own interests. In the face of great interests, sometimes any laws, morals, and authorities are often ignored.

Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight, and has overcome difficulties over the years, and his growth is based on the process of confrontation with various interest groups. Therefore, Kangxi has long clearly understood the importance of interests in his heart. And his strategy has always been balanced. Inside and outside the palace, balance all kinds of relationships and all kinds of forces to ensure the stability of his country and imperial power.

But it is undeniable that Kangxi is definitely a very bold emperor, who dares to think and do. There is a gentle side, but he will never be soft when it is time to strike, and he dares to break all the balance. This is true except for the worship of Ao, the same is true during the Ping San Francisco, and the same is true when the new fiscal and taxation policies are implemented. And today, Kangxi's calm eyes once again danced with blazing flames.

Shuyun knew that there was something about to be broken. If it is not broken, it will not be established, and after it is broken, a more perfect system will be established, which will be extremely beneficial to the development and progress of the entire country and society.

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, an accident caused by drunk driving sounded the alarm for Kangxi, and also made him see the hidden social dangers brought about by economic development through this incident. And then made up my mind to clean it up. This is probably something that no one expected!

When the meal was about to end, Li Dequan gently pushed the door in after asking for instructions outside. After giving Kangxi, Shuyun and Fuquan a proper salute. He said softly: "Emperor Qi, the situation of the middle-aged man on the street just now has been clearly understood. ”

"Hmm. Let's talk about it. Kangxi nodded.

"Hey, this person looks older. Like a middle-aged man who has passed the age of standing, in fact, he is only twenty-seven years old this year, his name is Tian Wenjing, he is a native of the Yellow Banner of the Han Army, and is now a student of Guozi Prison, diligent and inquisitive, with an upright temperament, but sometimes he acts too tricky and mean, resulting in his poor personnel in Guozi Prison. Li Dequan bowed his body and played the report one by one.

Kangxi looked at Shuyun after hearing this.

Shuyun was a little stunned. Judging by his resume and temperament. It should be the one who is famous in history. I didn't expect to find a big fish. Tian Wenjing is a famous minister of the Yongzheng Dynasty, and once served as the crown prince Taibao, the secretary of the military department, and the governor of Henan and Shandong provinces.

When Shuyun used to work, she once read a story about Tian Wenjing, which proved that he was indeed a good official who was willing to work hard and do practical things.

In the early years of Yongzheng, Tian Wenjing was the governor of Henan, and he was in office. has made a lot of tangible achievements.

At that time, the Kaifeng section of the Yellow River was often flooded, but due to lack of funds, former officials often only used some straw bags and wood to strengthen the embankment. Small floods can be handled, but when they hit a large flood peak, they will collapse. Over time, river governance has become the most headache for successive governors of Henan.

When Tian Wenjing took office. A flood has just subsided. He stood on a high slope next to the Yellow River and saw the devastation. Return to Kaifeng City. Faced with the victims on the street, Tian Wenjing secretly made up his mind. This stubborn disease must be solved once and for all.

It's easy to make a decision, but it's hard to do it. Tian Wenjing called a meeting of officials, but no one wanted to speak. It's clear, there's no money! The bulk of the funds for the control of the Yellow River have always been arranged and allocated by the household departments, and then distributed to the provinces along the river. But now that the state treasury has been emptied by officials, the so-called appropriations can only be numbers on the books, and less than one-tenth of the actual funds reach the provincial finances. And even this tenth is often diverted for other purposes, or even disappeared. Therefore, if the river is to be governed, it must first be governed by officials, and only when the officials are cleared can the Haiyan River be cleared.

But this article will not be done in a while, and I will not discuss it with you during the flood season every year. If you want to control the river, it is useless to go to the household department again, you can only make mistakes, so the only way out is to raise your own money.

But Henan Buzheng envoy Wentai stood up and bowed his hand, and it was still the same sentence - no money! The reason on the surface is that the imperial court raised troops, and the 200,000 troops of Nian Qianyao conquered Qinghai Luobuzang Danjin, and Henan was an important logistics supply and transshipment base. In fact, Tian Wenjing knew in his heart that this political envoy was the protégé of the Eighth Prince, and the treasury was connected to the party treasury, and he was an important money bag of the powerful and powerful "Eight Masters Party". On the other hand, how could most Henan officials not attack the idea of the provincial treasury? It's not an exaggeration to say that it's been hollowed out a long time ago.

Tian Wenjing, the official of the imperial court, is powerless, but he still has the power to rectify the rule of Henan. Tian Wenjing ordered that all officials who borrowed money from the feudal treasury should make up the shortfall within a time limit in accordance with the edict of Emperor Yongzheng. For a time, officials in Henan Tong Province cried for their fathers and mothers, some interceded, some complained, some forgive, some resisted the law, and some cheated...... But Tian Wenjing did not forgive any of them, nor did they accommodate any of them, and a few months later, the Henan treasury gradually filled.

Tian Wenjing's second policy is "donation": all wealthy households in Henan voluntarily donate money to the government to repair the river according to their strength. Not voluntary? As the saying goes, "the poor don't fight with the rich, and the rich don't fight with the officials". Officials, businessmen, officials and businessmen, without the support of officials, what kind of business can you do? Therefore, the wealthy families have also "donated" one after another, so that the funds for river control have finally been gathered.

Tian Wenjing summoned migrant workers and spent a winter replacing all the embankments originally built of grass and trees with large stones, even if it was a once-in-a-century flood peak, it was enough to resist. This is, of course, a great achievement. But those who were touched by his interests were inextricably linked with the bigwigs in the capital, and they complained to Lu Shang. In the capital, headed by the eighth prince Yinxi, many officials wrote to the court together to impeach Tian Wenjing.

The lawsuit went to Yongzheng. Emperor Yongzheng was resolute and decisive, and when he was an elder brother, he also went to Henan to inspect the situation of the officials, and he was no stranger to the local situation. However, the chapters of the attack on Tian Wenjing are often written in a colorful manner, with clear writing and sharp words, and the attack is not on Xiuhe itself, but on the impeachment of Tian Wenjing in the name of Xiuhe, the fact of wanton conquest and tyranny, and the private movement of the Henan domain, has affected the war of General Nian's conquest of Qinghai.

There are many people who talk about it, and Yongzheng is also fooled. In particular, the impact of the Qinghai war made him unable to sit still, Yongzheng's ascension to the throne was very controversial, the situation was unstable, the people's hearts were not convinced, and the political power of the Baye Party was looking for an opportunity, and he urgently needed a great martial arts to suppress the situation and suppress the opposition force, which was the top priority at present.

However, Tian Wenjing did not know anything about these changing politics, and he was full of thought that as long as he was a good official and a clean official, "serving as an official and benefiting one party", the emperor was a bright monarch, so he would naturally encourage and praise him, and even take him as an example to speed up the action of catching up the shortfall, rectifying the administration of officials, and implementing the new policy throughout the country.

But to his surprise, the holy decree came down and did not praise him, but severely reprimanded him. Fortunately, Emperor Yongzheng claimed to be a lonely minister, and he had always admired the upright and arrogant Tian Wenjing, and did not punish him immediately, but gave him a chance and ordered him to immediately understand the echo.

Tian Wenjing knelt down and listened to the will, and was shocked into a cold sweat. I didn't expect things to be distorted to such a point, even the always wise Yongzheng was blinded, it seems that those villains really can't be underestimated! Tian Wenjing thought about it for a long time and decided to ask Wu Sidao, who was known as "the first master in the world" to Su Yi.

Wu Sidao was the chief staff of the shogunate before Yongzheng ascended the throne, and he worked hard to give advice, defeated several powerful political forces, and finally sent Yongzheng to the emperor's throne. Then he retired and learned from Fan Li to sail in the rivers and lakes, avoiding the fate of "rabbits and dead dogs, and birds hiding their bows". He was hidden in the shogunate of the governor of Henan, and Yongzheng knew the way, and he respected the master's opinion in private.

Tian Wenjing asked Wu Sidao to write a very powerful defense letter for himself, and then he took the route of Yunxiang, Prince Yi, who was most trusted by Yongzheng, and finally made Emperor Yongzheng understand the truth of the matter and calm his anger.

Shuyun knew that she was going to say that the opportunity for the dragon egg had come. This is definitely a talent that must be cultivated vigorously at all costs, and he will definitely be able to become a solid team of dragon eggs in the future. It is not difficult to find capable officials, but it is very difficult to find a capable official who is fair and honest and can always maintain a pure heart. Although all indications indicate that he does not know how to be a man now, nor does he know what politics is. But because of this, it is easier to carve beautiful patterns on his blank paper.

"Shuyun?"

"Oh" Shuyun came back to her senses and said with a smile: "The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine has been thinking about Mr. Tian just now, and she was a little distracted." ”

"Oh? This is called Tian Wenjing, but it is not a small charm. Kangxi said with a somewhat unhappy face.

This Lao Kang is really a vinegar jar, where is this, he actually said such a thing in front of Fuquan. Shuyun glanced at Kangxi with disgust. said softly: "The concubine is thinking that with this Mr. Tian's character and character, he is really suitable for teaching in Xiangxuehai. However, he was not only born in the Yellow Banner of the Han Army, but also has a meritorious reputation, maybe he will soon be able to become an official, so he will not be willing to condescend to Xiangxuehai. ”

Shuyun didn't expect Tian Wenjing to come up and follow the dragon egg, which was unrealistic. Shuyun only hopes to change one way, as originally said to Kangxi, just let him teach in Xiangxuehai. As for the future, as long as people are in their own hands, they can still let him run.
