Ganqi wants to start cutting officials and reducing his duties, this matter Ganqi has been carefully considered, and at first Ganqi also felt that he was too unkind, and even the retirement salaries of many people had to be cut.

But on a little thought, the officials of the Song Dynasty were not civil servants in later generations. The officials of the Song Dynasty were much higher than the status of civil servants, basically the level of the deputy county magistrate, so Sun Gen Enyin became an official, and he also started at the level of the deputy county magistrate.

They also have another identity, that is, the scholar clan, as long as they become officials, no matter the size of the official position, no matter the height of the background, they are all scholars, and they are not really poor if they can afford to read.

No matter how honest they are, they all have money, land, and mansions. Even if you usually spend lavishly and your savings are not deep, with the name of Jinshi, at least there is a big name, or even a famous Confucian, even if you open a school to recruit students, it is impossible to fall into poverty.

Therefore, the people who really became officials in the Great Song Dynasty were never poor.

So why do these rich people bother to raise them with the money of the imperial court? The court's money is just icing on the cake for them, not a charcoal in the snow. However, the expenditure of the imperial court was so lucrative, which made the imperial court's already poor expenditure even worse.

For retired officials, the name can be given, the reputation can be increased, and the money can be resolutely not given again.

On the other hand, it is too difficult to abolish Enyin. Because above the court, every official will have a son, which is the common interest of all people, and even many people will be favored for several generations.

For example, the Fu Bi family has been in favor for several generations, and the grandson also has to be in favor of the Southern Song Dynasty, and finally the official worships the Privy Council. Needless to say, Yan Shu's son Yan Jidao has no grace, Yan Jidao may not be able to eat enough now.

But there are also those who are not gracious, such as Fan Zhongyan's son Fan Chunren, the Jinshi and the first of the Eight Classics, and now he is already serving the imperial history, and he is an official under Sima Guang.

This Great Song Dynasty, in some aspects, is actually still fair, they are all the sons of the prime minister, some people just can't get into the Jinshi, and some people just can't pass the test. There must be some favors in this, but among them, there are few excessive personal frauds.

In other words, Yan Jidao is too far behind, even if he can write poems that have been preached for thousands of years, he just can't get into the Jinshi. There is no need to guess the reason, there is only one, that is, not only is it not good to write a policy theory, but it is also too poorly written.

There are many comparisons in this, such as Wang Anshi's son Wang Yan, who took the Jinshi exam by himself, and Sima Guang's son Sima Kang, who was also admitted to the Jinshi by himself.

(Sima Guang has no son, and this son is inherited from the eldest brother.) Sima Guang was a rare childless person in the Song Dynasty, his wife did not come out, and he did not marry a concubine, and he was in love with each other for more than 30 years, and finally succeeded a son. Legend has it that Bao Zheng has no sons, but in fact, Bao Zheng has two sons. ）

For the sons of these officials, they themselves occupy a lot of resources, not to mention the degree of life, just talk about the origin of family learning, the starting point is much higher than others, not to mention the knowledge and vision of the elders, just say that the collection of books at home is not comparable to ordinary people, and there is still money to travel thousands of miles.

With this kind of high starting point, you can't pass the test to others, who is to blame?

The more Gan Qi said this analysis, the more he felt that the matter of Enyin must be abolished, and even Gan Qi could take a step back, Enyin was not impossible, he was afraid that his son would not be able to live in the future if his limbs were not diligent and the grains were not divided, so okay, he could be Enyin.

But if you can't come up, you can be a deputy county magistrate, but you can be a clerk, and it is acceptable to copy and write in the yamen and be a sword and pen officer. After all, there are only a few scholars in this era, and those who can write are already talents, and they can work as clerks in the yamen and clerks in the army. This can be regarded as being able to support the family, ensure that you don't starve to death, and don't waste your talent in writing and writing.

If you can make meritorious contributions in the army, then it is not impossible to be a general of Duyu Hou, this is also a way to get out of the general.

Gan Qi thought about this, but he also knew that things could not be rushed, and they had to be taken step by step.

The first thing to do is to check the Jilu officials, but if Jilu does not work, the payment of Yulu and all subsidies will be stopped.

It's just that Gan Qi didn't expect that even such a simple one-step plan by him would cause an uproar in the court.

The first one to jump out against it was Fu Bi, there was no other reason, it was because his son couldn't get into the Jinshi, and in the future, Enyin, naturally he was most likely to have an idle job, and nine times out of ten, the idle job was Jilu, and he didn't work just for money, which was the starting point of all Enyin. Fu Bi is worried about his son now, but he doesn't know that even his grandson will need grace in the future.

So above the court, Fu Bi spoke: "Gan Daojian, you are so perverse, it is to shake the foundation of the country. ”

Emperor Zhao Ji's brows were already furrowed, he really felt the difficulty of being an emperor now, and there was not a day when the court was not noisy.

Gan Qi didn't look at Fu Bi either, but said: "Fu Xiang, now the army is in full swing, with more than one million banned compartments, and most of them are being abolished." How can it be that if you want to cut it, it won't work? How did the reduction of the settling of the officials shake the foundation of the country? You are also the prime minister, and you have also presided over the affairs of the political hall, how far has the court branched? If you can't even supply food for the war, and you will have to fight in the future, can you do it if you don't change it? borrowed money from the bank, and the rich minister also spared no effort to oppose it, and the rich minister also spared no effort to oppose the reduction of some of the officials who sent the money. Dare to ask the rich minister, you have an idea, and I want to see how you have been a husband for decades? ”

Gan Qi is about to be in trouble, and he has been back for several days, and today he finally talked about the supply of grain and grass.

When Fu Bi heard this, he even sneered at each other: "When the old man was in power, no matter how difficult it was to pay the expenses, he never reduced the salaries of officials!" ”

"Joke, when you are old in power, you naturally don't need to cut the officials, but you can't do the same thing as you are."

Everyone in the court watched the two of them fight, this time most people were still on Fu Bi's side, needless to say, everyone has sons and grandchildren, and if they don't give money, it's a loss.

Zhao Ji is looking towards Gan Qi, because Gan Qi is saving money for their old Zhao family.

Fu Bi heard Gan Qi's words and immediately asked, "Gan Daojian, what do you mean by this?" What did the old man do? ”

"What's the matter? I'm afraid that the rich minister has forgotten that you are unwilling to cut the salaries of officials, but you are willing to send money to the enemy, did you do this? Liao Chen soldiers at the border, you will send money when you are old, and say that one person can top a million soldiers. I can't do this kind of thing! "Gan Qi is sharp today, and Fu Bi is proud of it in his life, but here in Gan Qi, it has become a shameful thing.

"You...... Old man, how can this be reasonable, the old man is loyal to the country, but you dare to humiliate the old man so much. Vertical ......"

Gan Qi was even more straightforward: "In the past, Chen Bing, a Liao man, was rich and did not want to be strong, but went to send money to fund the enemy. Now that Liao is Chen Bing, I Gan Daojian will break Yanyun and break Zhongjing Dading Mansion. Today, we are disarming and cutting money in an attempt to strengthen the country, and we are obstructing each other in every possible way. Didn't Fu Xiangmo receive the benefits of the Liao people? ”

"Vertical nonsense, nonsense. The old man has gone through three dynasties to the present, and he has done his best, and everyone in the world can see it. How can the trend of the past be comparable to today? In the past, there were frequent wars in the northwest, the Liao people took the opportunity to Chen soldiers, and the old man sent an envoy to the Liao country. ”

Fu Bi was really aggrieved in his heart, and what he was wronged was the results of his mediation in the Liao State, but when he came to Deganqi, he was guilty.

"Rich and rich, what is the difference between the past and the present? Has the war in the Northwest stopped? Where did the party go? Has the war in Liao stopped? Where did the Liao people go? Can I send a penny to appease the Khitan and the party? ”

Ganchi is so confident, and he should be confident now. His self-confidence is in contrast to what Fu Bi did in the past. If there is something, I spend money to level it, and I don't know the humiliation after the peace, and I have the credit, and it has become the proudest thing in my life.

This kind of value must be completely stopped in this Great Song Dynasty. Such an attitude is even more to make Zhao Ji feel, let the young new emperor feel, let the new emperor Zhao Ji have a correct three views, know what is glory and what is humiliation, what things are acceptable and what things are not acceptable.

Emperor Renzong had a fault, and the fault was that he easily accepted the humiliation, did not take it seriously, and even publicized it as a good thing. I was also happy to hear others say that Fu Bi alone could withstand a million soldiers.

The young Zhao Ji was naturally enthusiastically boiled by Gan Qi's words, and felt that what Gan Qi said was very pleasant. The effect of the strong pill is extraordinary!

Fu Bi was completely speechless by Gan Qi, Gan Qi had already hit his vital point, things in this world are incomparable, if there is no such Gan Qi, he Fu Bi is still the existence of one person who can withstand millions of soldiers. It's just that now there is a Gan Qi, and the fact that he can top a million soldiers with one word has become a joke.

Fu Bi was jealous of Gan Qi, and even at this moment, he could clearly feel a certain jealousy in his heart, which came from the huge contrast gap between a virtuous man of three dynasties and a dissatisfied young man.

But Fu Bi didn't mess up, and said: "Gan Xianggong, didn't you deliberately come to humiliate the old man?" The things I am talking about today were supposed to be the matter of cutting the salaries of the officials who sent them to Lu, how did they get involved in these things? The merits and demerits are commented on by future generations. But this matter must not be so chaotic. ”

"The way to a strong country lies in this. In his life, Fu Xiang has never thought about how to strengthen the country and be self-respecting? Haven't you ever thought about letting Da Song look down on the world? At this time, the rich minister spared no effort to block the power of the country, didn't you really receive the benefits of the Liao people? Gan Qi was asking again and again, and he was not only asking, but he was also leaving a foreshadowing for many things.

This foreshadowing will not be used for long.

"Nonsense, you frequently frame the old man above the court, what do you want?" How could Fubi be bullied by Gan Qi?

At this time, even Zhao Ji also opened his mouth and said: "Gan Xiang, you can't say it so lightly, how can the rich old minister accept the benefits of the Liao people?" No, no, please be cautious. ”

Zhao Ji's words were sincere, and he really felt that Fu Bi would not take any benefits from the Liao people. No matter how bad the effect of this root is, it will not become a poison.

Gan Qi smiled, not to mention what happened just now, sometimes, he still had to say something, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, the matter of reducing the official income of Jilu, the minister thinks that it should be decided like this, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?" ”

By this time, Gan Qi had already turned his head and gestured slightly.

Wang Anshi came out: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Feng Jing bowed his head and said nothing, and Zeng Gongliang didn't say anything. But there are Su Shi, Su Zhe and others behind them, who have already come out to second.

Zhao Ji looked up at everyone first, and seeing that no one spoke out against it, he was in a good mood, nodded and said, "Then let's do it." ”

Why didn't Fu Bi come out to oppose it at this time? Because he still has an abacus in his heart, a smart man's real abacus, a very clever abacus.

Because Fu Bi knew about Gan Qi's matter today, there were many opponents, but these people were just buried in their hearts, and they didn't dare to wrestle with Gan Qi, who was in the limelight, and they didn't even dare to make Gan Qi unhappy at all. So Fu Bi came out to oppose it before, which was to help these people say what was in their hearts.

When the final decision was made, he didn't object, which was clever. Because Fu Bi has to let Gan Qi do this, because after Gan Qi does it, he will offend many people more or less, and many people will have a certain amount of resentment towards Gan Qi.

So who benefits? Naturally, it is rich and profitable to speak on behalf of everyone.

So Gan Qi has to do this, if he doesn't do it, Gan Qi naturally can't really offend people. Now there are two bigwigs in the court, one is Fu Bi and the other is Gan Qi. Zeng Gongliang is faintly a Gan Qi faction, at least Zeng Gongliang has never opposed anything to Gan Qi in front of others, Wang Anshi is a hardcore Gan Qi faction, Ouyang Xiu is not very in charge of things, and he can't care about anything, and Zhao Yi is even more of a good person.

If you want to really defeat Ganqi, you have to make Ganqi do a little more of this kind of offending things, the more the better, you have to do the best, the best is to do it angrily, then it will be perfect.

In fact, Gan Qi also understands, he knows that he knows that it is not a big problem to try the knife today, and he also knows that he will offend people more and more. Therefore, Fu Bi must be brought down, otherwise it will be a great scourge. As long as there is no one who can carry the flag against Gan Qi in the future, Gan Qi will be sure to try the knife again and again, and slowly boil the frog in warm water.

It's also a technical job.

In fact, there may be another person who carries the flag against Gan Qi, and that is Sima Guang. As for Sima Guang's handling method, Gan Qi is slowly conceiving it, and the main policy is to pull and hit, use and prevent, give big sticks, and give carrots. To use a one-sentence word: toying between applause.

However, Sima Guang has no interest in such a thing as Jilu Guan, he doesn't even have a son, and he won't think about these things for the time being.

When Gan Qi walked out of the court today, this Bianliang City would inevitably be full of mourning. Countless Jilu officials, countless children of families, and countless children of the gentlemen after countless meritorious deeds, I am afraid that they really want to hate Ganqi.

As for the size of this hatred, it depends on the individual's family conditions. Gan Qi only stopped those people's salaries, and did not deprive them of their official titles for the time being.

If the family conditions are good, you won't hate Ganqi too much, it's just that you have less pocket money. If you rely on this to eat, it's different, you have to scold all the eighteen generations of Ganqi's ancestors, but you can't scold publicly, you can only hide in the bed and scold.

However, there is one person who dares to scold publicly, that is, Yan Jidao, who thinks he was targeted by Gan Qi, he is Enyin to Taichang Temple Taizhu, and was later transferred out, but after Gan Qi took power, he was transferred back, and he was also made a Jilu official by Zheng'er Bajing.

It was really not Gan Qi who did it himself, where did he have the time to do such a small thing? This kind of thing, where does Gan Qi need to do it himself? Gan Qi is in charge of the book, and he is in charge of the Privy Council.

Everyone knows that Yan Jidao has a holiday with Gan Qi, and this still needs Gan Qi to command? Yan Jidao is such an arrogant person, and even he himself may not be willing to be a petty official under Gan Qi, and he is called by Gan Qi every day, which is self-esteem.

It's just that Yan Jidao didn't expect Gan Qi to stop his Lu and cut off his back road.

How can Yan not curse?

Not only to scold, but also to scold loudly, and to pull many people to scold together, because there are not many people who have no way back.

The vanguard of counter-reform has emerged.
