Chapter 698: Cai Jing

Seeing that the official's face was almost the same color as his robe, Su You waved his hand: "Don't say it, don't say it, even if you eat locusts, I won't look down on you by a point; If you refuse, I'm just sorry that you don't know how to eat a good dish, and nothing else. ”

"What's your name? In the future, it's good to do things in a down-to-earth manner, and there is no need to wronged yourself in order to flatter others. ”

The petty official embarrassedly saluted again: "I am ashamed to be taught a lesson by Shaobao, and I am ...... The lower official's name is Cai Jing. ”

My one goes! Su You was so frightened that the plate in his hand almost fell: "You, why are you here?!" Aren't you a Shuzhou pusher?! Why? ”

Cai Jing was pleasantly surprised: "Shaobao still knows my resume?" ”

Su You was a little speechless: "Your brother is the same as Su and Xiaosu, and he is also a good story, so he cares about it." From the prince of the king, I also know some things about your brother. ”

In the third year of Xining, Cai Jing and his brother Cai Bian ascended to the rank of Jinshi in the same imperial examination, first as a lieutenant in Qiantang, and then transferred to Shuzhou as a magistrate.

And his elder brother was appointed as the chief bookkeeper of Jiangyin, and at that time, Gu Xinyuan, a local tycoon, and others, took advantage of the shortage of green and yellow to borrow grain from the common people, and the interest rate was twice as high as usual.

Cai Bian sympathized with the suffering of the people, and resolutely implemented Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Law to solve the urgent needs of the people, and at the same time opened a warehouse to borrow grain to combat the arrogance of the rich to take advantage of the fire to rob, so Wang Anshi was heavy and recruited him as a son-in-law.

Speaking of which, Su You and Cai Jing are the same age, and they are both twenty-seven this year, but Su You has been ascending for nearly ten years, and he has been promoted all the way to the top of Tanhua, and the two are too far apart from the level of officialdom.

Cai Jing arched his hand, and hit the nail on the head when he opened his mouth: "Shao Bao is effective in exterminating locusts in Kaifeng Mansion, because of his reputation, not the power of the system." ”

Su You also had to be convinced: "Go on." ”

Cai Jing said: "Therefore, the law arises because of people, and it is easy to perish because of people. ”

Su You nodded.

Cai Jing was encouraged: "But if it is established as a system, then the officials will have a reason, I am afraid that it will disturb the people too much, the old harm has not been eliminated, and the new harm has been born." ”

"Nowadays, the state and county exterminate locusts, most of them are private donations, and the state and county can use no wealth as an excuse to shirk it."

"If public funds are allowed, these states and counties will no longer have the excuse that they do not have the financial resources. But with new approaches comes new drawbacks. ”

"The state and county will overreport the expenses, and the boss wants to make them underreport, declare and return the report, come and go, and make the business cumbersome."

Su You nodded: "You don't have to wait until that time, there is already this problem now." ”

Cai Jing said: "It is a good way to test the amount of locusts killed by Shaobao, but this will lead to everyone only catching the adult locusts that can be exchanged for more money, and miss the new locust period that is the easiest to hunt and kill." Because during this period, it was still necessary to hire manpower and give money and food. ”

Su You asked, "What does Yuan Chang mean?" ”

Cai Jing said: "The two must be combined, but in the future, the money and food needed to hunt and kill new locusts and hire laborers must be distributed by officials in the same city in the prefecture and county, and at the same time they will sign and draw a pledge and report it for verification as a proof of verification." It is also strictly forbidden to let officials' family members or secretaries act on their behalf, so as to avoid counterfeiting and deception. ”

"In the past, the disaster relief rice and grain issued by the imperial court were often fraudulently received, and this kind of drawback must be prevented. It is better to establish a system first, and then supervise and inspect it in the process of implementation. ”

In fact, what the officials are afraid of is only serious officials. And blocking the top and bottom and reaping profits from it is also their forte. As long as the officials are diligent in their movements, this can be done well. ”

Su You really admires Cai Jing, he must have a plan when he appears here today, but he can't hate it.

At first, it was obvious that he misunderstood his behavior of eating locusts, and flattered and pandered; After being debunked by himself, there is a clever change of topic; For the things you really care about, you can immediately come up with effective solutions. This kind of ability is not something that ordinary people can do.

can only say that like Lu Huiqing, he is absolutely capable of doing things well and absolutely capable of likable.

But they have a common problem, that is, independence, or attempted independence.

Unlike Wang Anshi, they can compromise on anything else in order to monopolize power.

In other words, there is no bottom line.

For the sake of power, even if it is to drag one's benefactor and one's country into the abyss.

Su You asked: "If I hand over the affairs of exterminating locusts in Beijing to the Yuan Chief, how long will it take for the Yuan Chief to take action?" ”

Cai Jing is full of confidence: "It doesn't take seven days. ”

Su You smiled: "Okay! In addition to that, I will give you two more things. ”

Cai Jing was overjoyed: "But please give me advice." ”

Su You waved his hand: "You and I are the same age, I am only a few months older than you, just call each other the words." First, I will send you a set of Zhang Gong's "Theory of Finance", and ask you to read it and read it thoroughly; Second, after reading and understanding, combined with the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, write a financial discussion, discussing what problems exist in the financial affairs of the Great Song Dynasty today, and what methods can be solved. ”

Cai Jing bowed and said, "Yes." ”

Su You said with a smile: "Then the matter will be handed over to you, even if I want you to enter the shogunate, you need to withdraw the accounts, and go to the Sitong business to find Cheng Gong to help." Seven days later, I came to Kaifeng Mansion to make a difference. ”

Cai Jing stood up for a long time: "I will definitely live up to the trust of Da Yin." ”

Su You took his notebook, brushed and wrote a line of words, folded it and handed it to him: "Only you and I can know about this matter." When he saw it, he burned it. ”

Cai Jing took it carefully, didn't dare to look at it immediately, and put the paper in his sleeve.

Su You stood up and said to the polytechnic team: "You are here, listening to the command of the chief." Vier, let's go back to the city, there's still a lot of business. ”

The group got on the horse and left, and after Cai Jinggong sent Su You and Shi Wei away, he carefully took out the note from his sleeve and opened it, and a line of small words jumped into his eyes, making his heart jump suddenly.

Don't learn to fly when the hungry eagle is full!

Cai Jing is an absolute bomb, but Su You still decided to use him.

There is no reason, it is because at least so far, Cai Jing has a really good reputation.

First of all, there is a family background, and his uncle Cai Xiang is a famous minister, although he died, his reputation is first-class.

The concept of the state budget was put forward by Cai Xiang when he took office as the envoy of the Third Division.

Secondly, there is a well-known brother, Wang Anshi, as the prime minister, in order to influence his son-in-law who has always deliberately suppressed him, and there are quite a few people in Shilin who complain about it.

also has a relationship with the Su family, Cai Bian served before coming to Beijing, and he was the captain of Qiantang.

Su Dongpo was not allowed to stay in Beijing because of Wang Anshi's obstruction, but after arriving in Hangzhou, Cai Bian, as Wang Anshi's son-in-law, followed Su Dongpo to learn the calligraphy of the famous calligrapher Xu Jihai.

Therefore, the exchanges between the doctors of the Song Dynasty are not as black and white as later generations understood, and the grievances are clear, but they are inextricably entangled twine, cut and sorted out and messy.

Su You was also involuntarily affected by today's Shilin ethos, and using a person's evil deeds decades later to deny him today is not in line with the norms pursued in his heart.

In Su You's heart, Cai Jing's biggest evil deed is that he has ruined the country's finances and led to the country's economic collapse, followed by appointing private individuals, monopolizing the government, being a traitor, and failing to resist the enemy.

Fortunately, this baby is the same age as himself, and he has Wei'er to protect his life, and Su You is confident that he can suppress him for a lifetime.

Don't learn to fly when the hungry eagle is full! It was Su You's warning to him, and it was also his agreement with Cai Jing.

If he decides to take refuge in himself, Su You can give him a stage, but the premise is that he must not betray.

Politics has always been dirty, and the ideas and methods of traitors are often surprisingly effective in dealing with political opponents.

Fortunately, as a person who has crossed over from the afterlife, Su You does not have this kind of cleanliness.

But it is really ridiculous that the great traitor in history used the unique ways and methods of the traitor to defect to himself.

Maybe I should say thank you to him, thank him for thinking so highly of himself?

I only hope that Cai Jing can read financial theory and become a talent who understands macroeconomics like his uncle Cai Xiang. Otherwise, he would never dare to let him inherit his political map.

Thinking of this, Su You couldn't help but shake his head and smile, where did he come from his political territory? Isn't that unfounded?!
