Chapter 951: The Change of Tuntian
The second year of Changqing kicked off in the sound of celebration, and the sound of firecrackers continued to sound after the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. The snow was littered with red debris from the explosion of firecrackers, like specks of blood. After the celebration, the court meeting began, the yamen of the six ministries and nine kings were operating normally, and the wheels that had rested for a few days began to turn slowly again.
On the first day of the second month, the Great Dynasty. Cheng Mingdao, a servant of the Ministry of Officials, reported on the performance appraisal of officials last year, and Pan Heyi, the director of the Qingtian Division, was the first on the list. Everyone knows that Pan Heyi went to Huazhou to clear the fields last year, and the acres of land cleared and the taxes paid were the first in the states to clear the fields, and the rumored rewards were about to be implemented.
“…… Outstanding political achievements, promoted to the ...... from the five products on the Qingtian Lang", Pan Heyi stood at the end of the court, although he knew the result, when he heard the eunuch Bingli read out his name and the newly sealed official position, Pan Heyi was still a little trance-like, and suddenly jumped from the signing order on the seventh grade to the Langzhong from the fifth grade, crossing the sixth order is a rare thing in all dynasties, "Pan Heyi, not thank you for the decree."
Pan Heyi hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down under the golden steps, and said loudly: "Minister Pan Heyi, thank you for your order." ”
A series of rewards have been recited, that is, punished, Zhang Jinnian said: "Qingtian envoy Huang Ping, dictatorial power, evil and jealousy, loss of government, removed from the post of Qingtian secretary, demoted to Lizhou Sima ......", all the officials were shocked, Huang Ping did not have a big fault, just attached to the king of Chu, he was demoted to Lizhou by the Son of Heaven, and was demoted to Sima, I am afraid that there will be no chance to return to Beijing in this life.
"Huazhou Jinglu made Jiang Anyi, seeing that the matter was unclear, conniving at his subordinates, causing many hidden reports in Tuntian, and the tax omission and loss ......", everyone's hearts were tight, Jiang Anyi was an important minister of the Su Emperor, and his achievements were very great, and he was still the emperor's teacher, and he was close to the Son of Heaven, so he should be punished because of the Qingtian matter. Thinking of many rumors, some people sighed in their hearts, once a son of heaven and a courtier, even Jiang Anyi couldn't escape? Or did the Son of Heaven deliberately punish others by beating Jiang Anyi and punishing his cronies if they did something wrong?
“…… Fined for three years to see the after-effects", the result was announced, the top of the golden palace exhaled in unison, the board was raised high, and it fell gently, and the Son of Heaven was quite tolerant of Jiang Anyi.
"Mingwei General Feng Dingzhong is a commander and does not govern the army strictly...... It is advisable to admonish. demoted to Dingyuan General and fined for three years to see the after-effects. The first emperor Tuntian was fixed on all sides, and the Tun army embezzled and concealed the fields against the trust of the first emperor, and the Anxi Tun army, the Anbei Tun army, and the Annan Tun army were investigated again, and those who violated the law were severely punished. ”
After the results of Huazhou Tuntian, Emperor Su ordered to set up Anbei Tun Army in Dengzhou and Leizhou, and set up Annan Tun Army in Qianzhou and Shaozhou, but these two cantonments were far less effective than the Anxi Tun Army in Huazhou, but they were finally able to properly settle those veterans who were discharged and disabled and reduce the burden on the counties.
After Zhang Jinnian finished punishing Feng Dingzhong, Shi Chongwei said: "The first emperor implemented the system of tuntian, placed old and weak soldiers, gave fifty acres of land, and ordered him to cultivate for self-protection, and allowed half of it to be endowment and half to himself. I heard that the food obtained by the Tun army was inexhaustible, and they became rich by selling others, and many people who lost their land dragged their families to the tun land to rent and plant the fields of the Tun army. However, there were also cases where the Tuntian army would encroach on the fields of the Tuntian soldiers, driving the Tuntian soldiers to be like mercenaries and slaves, and the Tuntian method was in vain. ”
This time, the court sent Qingtian inspectors to the states, or found a lot of problems, the government hall collected these problems and reported them to Shi Chongwei, after more than a month of thinking, Shi Chongwei announced his plan in the court, "I think that the land is fat and thin, and the field is barren, and if half of the land is taxed, it will inevitably be bittersweet and uneven." It is better to let the tun army hand over all the tuntian to the court, and the court will distribute it to the tun army according to the total amount of tun grain, so that the amount of tun grain can be mastered, so that the tun army is relatively even. What do you think? ”
"No," Kong immediately objected loudly. The idea of the Son of Heaven was not consulted with him, Shi Chongwei's approach seemed fair, but in fact, it was suspected of cutting military rations and changing the policy of Tuntian. The policy of Tuntian is the virtue of the Su Emperor Dynasty, and the effect is not only to collect more grain, but also to strengthen the defense force of the border passes, to place a large number of old and weak soldiers, and at the same time to provide military rations for the capital protectorate, exempt from the consumption of transportation, no matter from which point of view can not change the policy of Tuntian.
Shi Chongwei's face changed, he didn't expect Kong Province to react so violently, and he preached in front of the civil and military ministers, almost roaring, making him quite unable to come to the stage. After Kong Xing finished speaking, Shi Chongwei's face was a little ugly, and he turned to ask Duan Cizong: "Duan Qing, what do you think?" ”
Duan Cizong said firmly: "The minister thinks that what Kong Xiang said is very true. Although there are a few drawbacks in the politics of Tuntian, we must not waste food because of choking, because a little bit of a small problem has ruined the good situation brought by Tuntian, please think twice. ”
The left and right ministers disagreed with their opinions, Shi Chongwei felt a hot pain on his face, and felt aggrieved in his heart, collecting the food of the Tun army and coordinating the distribution was something he had been thinking about during this time, he wanted to change the disadvantages of Tuntian once and for all, and he didn't want the little food of the Tun army, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face by Kong Province and Duan Cizong.
His gaze swept over Kong and Duan, and looked at Yang Quanzong, the head of the household. Yang Quanzong felt the gaze of the Son of Heaven, and felt embarrassed, to be honest, he also felt that the Son of Heaven was tossing around, even if the original intention was to be easy to manage, it might be bad, not long after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he tossed for a year to repair the palace last year, and this year he didn't toss anymore, everyone will live in peace for a few years.
But he only became the head of the household from Fuzhou to the Son of Heaven in accordance with the will of the Son of Heaven, and if he didn't speak at the moment, he would go against the will of the Son of Heaven, and don't want to go further in the future. Going out of class, Yang Quanzong bowed down and said: "Long live what Fang just said is a fundamental policy for the possible malpractices of the Tuntian government, but it is really a long-term vision, and the holy light is thousands of miles. However, the minister thought that Kong Xiang and Duan Xiang's worries were not unreasonable, the promulgation of the Tuntian policy was not long ago, and the results were remarkable, and the rash change would cause the Tun army to be uneasy, and perhaps there would be an accident. ”
The ambiguous words made many people secretly scold "slippery" and "minister" in their hearts, Shi Chongwei's face softened slightly, Yang Quanzong also gave himself face, and asked in a harmonious voice: "What does Yang Aiqing think to do?" ”
Yang Quanzong was secretly happy in his heart, and he was quite satisfied with his response when he heard the tone of the Son of Heaven, and said: "The minister remembers that when the policy of 'combining taxes into one' was first implemented, there were also many people who criticized that the emperor let Jiang Anyi try it out in Fuluo County, Lizhou, and Duan Xiang tried it out in Chuzhou, and then implemented it in the world and became a benevolent government that benefited the common people. If you want to change the policy of Tuntian, you might as well try it out first, see the results and the reaction of the Tuntian army before making a decision. ”
Shi Chongwei nodded as soon as he said this, and Kong Province and Duan Cizong also bowed. Cheng Ming, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, said out of the class and said: "Long live, the minister thinks that the bell must be tied to the bell people, the government of Tuntian is proposed by Jiang Anyi, advocated by Huazhou, the cleaning of the acres of land found many shortcomings of the Anxi Tun army, you might as well let Jiang Anyi wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions, try to implement the policy of overall planning of the grain, if Huazhou is effective, and then implement the Anbei and Anxi tun army. ”
Shi Chong was very happy, and said with a smile: "Yes, pass on the decree to make Jiang Anyi try to implement the policy of co-ordination of grain storage." ”
…………
On the fifth day of the first month of March, the lobby of the Passage Mansion. When the Son of Heaven arrived, he announced the punishment of Jiang Anyi and Feng Dingzhong, and then let him make meritorious service with his crimes, and try out the policy of co-ordination of grain in the Anxi Tun Army. The apricot-colored holy decree was placed on the table, as if it was covering Jiang Anyi's face, making him feel like he couldn't breathe. The punishment of three years of fines is expected, and in Mr. Zhang's words, some handles should be put in the hands of the Son of Heaven, so that the Son of Heaven will be at ease with him. Feng Dingzhong was demoted by one level, and Jiang Anyi believed that it was not a big deal for him to go to comfort. However, the new policy of co-ordination of grain made Jiang Anyi feel extremely uncomfortable.
The benefits of the Tuntian policy are seen by everyone in the world, and some acres of land are hidden, but they are only white and slightly flawed, how unwise is the Son of Heaven to take the Tun army to open the knife, is he not afraid of the jade being broken. The statement of letting himself make meritorious contributions and presiding over the new policy of grain storage makes Jiang Anyi extremely tired, what is his crime? Tian Shoulou has already written to inform himself that this is Cheng Mingdao's idea, this villain, is it not because the gift he gave during the New Year is too thin and deliberately makes things difficult.
Ye Zi said on the side: "My lord, the holy decree has been made, and it is useless to think about it." I'm afraid that this matter still needs to be told by adults in Tuntian to Master Feng. ”
Jiang Anyi nodded, Ye Ziming was decisive and clear, he was really a rare helper, to be honest, he was much stronger than Liu Yixing, Jiang Anyi promoted him to be a seven-grade official, in charge of law and discipline. Lin Xingyi, Chen Haitao and others all performed well, and Jiang Anyi planned to let them go to the county government to be county lieutenants, and they would be reused in the future after knowing the people's feelings. I had already greeted Zhou Tingshi, and Zhou Yongtong appreciated them very much and readily agreed.
Lu Shufeng, Fei Qing, He Jianzhu and others, who have been serving as officials in Huazhou, are already county commanders of the sixth and seventh grades, as for Ma Yuanxiang, who has been funded by Guo Huaili, has traveled around, made friends with celebrities, and occasionally lectured at Tongji Academy, living extremely happily, and the name of the madman has spread far and wide all over the world.
In the first year, seven of the ten heroes stayed in Huazhou, which made Jiang Anyi a little proud. These seven people are no worse than the Jinshi in the first year of Jianwu, and Bao Liming, the champion Lang, is just a member of the Ministry of Rites of the Six Grades. As for the millennium second Fan Zhichang, he is incomparable to ordinary people, with a prominent family background, the eyes of the imperial examination, the brother-in-law of the Son of Heaven, the brother-in-law of King Luo, and the disciple of the word immortal, so many halos shine, Shi Chongwei summoned him to Beijing soon after he ascended the throne and served as a living house (from the six grades), which looks the same as Bao Liming's official rank, but the difference is like heaven and earth.
After explaining the political affairs, Jiang Anyi returned to Fuzhong and told Xinfei about going to Hecheng County to implement the new policy of grain co-ordination. Xin Fei said angrily: "If the Son of Heaven does this, can An last long?" ”
Jiang Anyi sighed and said, "I have already asked the Son of Heaven to say that I miss my children, and I asked Tong'er to bring Chenyi and them to get together, just to make the Son of Heaven agree by implementing the new policy." With me, it is not difficult to implement the new policy, at most subsidize some silver taels to Feng Dingzhong. What I am worried about is that once the implementation of Huazhou is unhindered, the Son of Heaven will carry it out to the Anbei and Anxitun armies, which will inevitably cause trouble. ”
Xin Fei snorted coldly: "The Son of Heaven is willing to toss, and you can't be blamed if something happens, let him go." ”
Jiang Anyi thought for a while and said: "Since I am going to Hecheng, I want to take the opportunity to go out of the customs and go to the military town to go around, if the time comes, I will lead the army to clear out the horse thieves, the taxes demanded by the court are gradually increasing, and there are many places to use the money, so I want to ask the horse thieves for some." ”
Xin Fei smiled: "I have nothing to do, go around with Jiang Lang." ”
