Chapter 174: Tuzhi
"Your Highness, the lower officials immediately went to the counties, personally supervised, and strictly ordered the yamen to recruit a sufficient number of people to obey the orders in front of the house within three days, if there is any further delay, do not need Your Highness to say, the lower officials themselves took off the black gauze hat." After seeing His Highness's apology, everyone frowned and remained silent for a long time, as if they were very worried. And Zhao Youluo felt that he was derelict in his duties, so he stepped forward to reassure.
"The sincerity of the Zhao Governor's Mansion is known to Wang Xiao, but relying on forced expropriation is always a symptomatic rather than a cure-based strategy, and it is also inconsistent with the rules of the Shuai Mansion. We also have to come up with a long-term solution. Zhao Yu nodded, he knew that Zhao Heluo's method was to rely on administrative orders to press one level at a time, and in the end, it was one level to force one level, and in the end, it was the people who were unlucky, whether you wanted to or not, they were all tied up.
"Your Highness, the lower officials also know that this will definitely provoke the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, but if not, how can those officials be willing to work hard, and how can the people be willing to obey orders!" Zhao Youluo sighed and said, obviously he also knew that the current method could only be an emergency, but the situation had already formed, and he was powerless to change it.
"That being said, why am I waiting for such a strong soldier?" Zhao Yu asked.
"Of course, it is to defend the land for the king, protect the territory and the people, and revive my Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao and Luo immediately replied.
"That's not bad, but in the end, we still want the people to live and work in peace and contentment, so disturbing the people is contrary to our original intention." Zhao Hao chuckled, but he himself felt that what he said was funny, his wishes were always full, but the reality was backbone. But this is also the dream he once pursued for a small people.
"His Royal Highness's love for the people is admired by His Majesty, but the foolish people don't know that His Highness is for their good, and it is really stupid to refuse to apply, but the current project cannot afford to delay!" Zhao and Luo arched their hands, but they were extremely disappointed in their hearts, and they all said that although the little prince was small and capable, it seemed that this was not the case now. First of all, Yishan led the troops out of his house, and instead of sending troops to suppress it, he sent people to send money. Now Diao Min refuses to apply, but he only threatens himself, but he puts on a pitying appearance and refuses to use force, so it seems that there is no hope for Qiongzhou.
"Your Highness, what Governor Zhao said is good, the people don't know the general situation, and they don't know His Highness's hard work, if you don't deal with it decisively, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult!" As the person in charge of the transfer department, Pan Fang is responsible for recruiting people and raising military funds, and he will be punished if he fails to complete his task, but His Highness is so forward-looking that it is difficult to do it no matter what, so he also stood up to help.
"Hmph, deal with it decisively?! What to do with it, send troops to tie them up? It doesn't care about the king, and it can't control it, but Qiongzhou will never allow this kind of thing to happen! Zhao Yu snorted coldly and said, "Have you ever thought that Qiongzhou is now facing not only external troubles, but also internal worries. The slang is unstable, the pirates are rampant, and the people are suffering from all kinds of taxes and miscellaneous donations, and they are all angry in their hearts, if they are forcibly conscripted to serve again, are you not afraid that they will rise up, and when the Tartars come, they will tie you up and sacrifice the city? ”
"Furthermore, although this king was not born in the countryside, he has tasted the sufferings of the people, and he has seen evil officials wreaking havoc, but he has also read a few books. People will deceive people, history does not deceive people, which contains: the so-called township pavilion office, to the poor to the lowly, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are unreasonable to solicit, extremely contemptive; will chase after the future, compare with the flogging, and as for the bankruptcy, you can't protect yourself; Since the superior man is inferior to his position, he treats him like a slave and treats him like a prisoner of sin. The subordinate people despise themselves, so they either rely on the law to be traitors, or hide thieves to avoid them...... Wait, the history is endless, is it all nonsense? ”
"Evil officials are nonsense, don't you have to wait, and you have fulfilled your duties and can afford to be called an official of your parents?" Zhao Yu roared angrily, "And the evil officials are like this, have you ever wondered why this is so? They obey orders every day, and if they don't find a job with a salary, they have to rely on it to support their families, and even if they have a salary, there are very few, and how much energy do they have to engage in official business, how can they serve with peace of mind! In addition, they are the main officials and vassals, and there are a few people who are willing to listen to them, and they are often insulted and abused at every turn, and they are regarded as servants such as yours, which makes them willing to work for them! ”
"Of course, the deterioration of things is not caused by you, as the so-called accumulation of disadvantages is difficult to return, but you also have the responsibility of supervision, have you ever tried your best, have you ever thought about trying to cure?" Zhao Yu said, everyone bowed their heads and said silently, he said, "And what the people want is nothing more than to be able to have food and clothing and a place to live, but now taxes are like Mao, evil officials are rampant, and labor is heavy, and it is normal for them to complain and resist, how can they be foolish and disobedient!" ”
"Your Highness's words are to the point, and the officials are ashamed!" When the officials saw Zhao Yu shouting and shouting, they slapped the table and stared, obviously they were really anxious. However, they also knew that what His Highness said was to the point, and while admiring it, they were also secretly ashamed, and they all saluted.
"The sage said: If you can change it, it is very good. Now that we know the root cause, how can we change it? Zhao Yu wiped his sweat and said, and secretly said in his heart that if he didn't give them a little power, he really thought he was a child!
"Your Highness, Your Majesty thinks that the current plan is to take advantage of the rectification of the rule of officials, eliminate the lawless officials, severely punish the evil officials to set an example, and at the same time recruit those with virtue and ability to fill the position." Deng Guang recommended that he give his students a lot of face, and when he saw His Royal Highness asking, he got up first and said.
"Well, what the gentleman said is very true!" Zhao Yu nodded approvingly.
"Your Highness, my subordinates thought that they could give officials to Xu officials. Although the court has a law, there are very few people who actually give it, so that the recruits are unwilling to work hard and perfunctory! Cai Wanyi also stepped forward to offer advice.
"This can also be considered!" It's not impossible for Zhao Yu to think about it. In ancient times, people wanted to come out and become officials just to participate in the imperial examination, but that was the crossing of the single-plank bridge by thousands of troops, even the Song Dynasty, which had the most scholars in the imperial examination, the proportion of its population base was also very small, and if there were multiple ways out, it would inevitably increase enthusiasm.
"Your Royal Highness, the officials who use power to accumulate wealth are nothing more than no salary, and their subordinates think that they can be properly subsidized by the government to make up for their labor and support their integrity." Zhao Mengjin then spoke.
"Well, the matter of eating the king's loyalty to the king, taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people, this is not bad!" Zhao Yu said. Unless you have the economic strength or hobby, it is difficult for anyone to do it for a long time.
"It is good for His Highness to work hard, but if many officials are awarded officials and there is the harm of redundant officials, paying them salaries will definitely increase the burden on the state and county, I am afraid that the final victims will still be the people." Chen Zeweng hesitated and got up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this matter is difficult to agree on in the hall for a while, so please list what you want, and wait for His Highness to review it before meeting!" Ying Jieyan saw that His Royal Highness was in a hurry, so he got up and said without waiting for everyone to finish...... (To be continued.) )
