Chapter 1279: The Support of the People
The establishment of grassroots officials in the Great Song Dynasty is pitiful, and Shen An feels that it is probably less than that of the Ming Dynasty.
But local affairs are complicated, what can a few officials do?
Can't do anything!
Isn't that working?
I'm going to do it!
Since the former Tang and Tang Taizong, the government has designated some wealthy households to contract food expenses for some low-level officials, and this rule has evolved to five generations, and things have become more and more lively.
The local government of the five dynasties provided everything by the people, and for this reason, a new household registration was creatively invented, which is a pig household, a paper household, and a charcoal household...... Even special dyes were provided by the people, called safflower households and comfrey households.
At this time, the burden of the people was at its peak.
Zhou didn't mention that when he arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, the burden on the people was still very heavy, and Emperor Taizong did a good thing, that is, he canceled the link between the people and the officials.
Then the Xiang army of the Great Song Dynasty was very powerful and did the work of the Great Song Dynasty.
What is the construction of rivers, roads and bridges...... What ferry, carpenter...... Anyway, the Xiang army is a miscellaneous army, doing all kinds of work, but it liberates the people.
But there is no way to serve, this is the specific responsibility of the government, and the army can only conscript the people to serve.
The service is mainly from rural households, and they are dispatched according to their ranks.
How many things are going on in the state and county?
To be a dime a dozen.
Who does these things?
The officials are just that, and they can only let these errand officers do it.
These errand men farm well at home, and their wives and children are hot on the kang. There are also those landlord families, all of whom can't escape.
After being drafted, the family could no longer do the work, and the family watched the fields go barren. What should I do when my family runs out of food in the coming year?
Cold!
Don't expect the government to take care of you, fend for yourself.
So they had to sell their fields, and then the family became poor, either tenants or begging......
That's what it's like to be in service.
And the root cause is that the people who serve have no income, which is considered to be in vain.
Who can stand it when the days are long?
Smart, lively, and if you have a chance, everyone will be greedy, collude to dig up the wall, and finally serve to become a rich man, which is also an adventure.
“…… Many of the servants have made a fortune...... The official family, that's what is going on, the minister does not dare to say anything. ”
Zhang Qiwei's face was pale, and he felt that he was afraid that his life would be short.
If this matter is exposed sometimes, the official family is afraid that he will be angry to death, right?
He peeked at Zhao Shu, and when he saw that his face was sinking like water, he couldn't help but weaken his legs, so he knelt down and said, "Official, this has been a matter for many years!" ”
This has been happening for a long time, but everyone tacitly didn't tell you.
"I'm deaf, I'm blind!"
Zhao Shu was in a heavy mood, and Zhao Wei hurriedly called someone to get hot tea, and then served him to drink.
"Official." Han Qi persuaded: "The ancestor used the errand service, and the intention was good. At that time, the income of the DPRK and China was small, but the threat from the north was great, and the state was insufficient, so it could only use the common people to serve...... Just ......"
Zhao Shu looked at him and didn't speak.
"Just ......"
Han Qi said with some facelessness.
Originally, the original intention of the errand was to reduce the cost of the court, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty would have to do things with small officials everywhere, how many people would add up?
How much food do so many people have to pay each year?
So it's better to be an errand soldier!
The little clerk who doesn't spend money is very cool.
But the little officials were slippery, and some of the little officials took the opportunity to dig the foot of the wall and make the place smoky.
"Just ......"
Zhao Shu was still looking at Han Qi, and suddenly asked, "Just what?" ”
Han Qi's eyes rolled, and he felt as if he had only one choice.
"Official, such a thing...... It's time for a change. ”
After Han Qi finished speaking, his whole body was light, as if he had just come out of the pit with the kind of refreshment, and he couldn't help but turn around and look at the ministers.
That Sima Guang......
He turned out to have a black face?
Yes, he opposed the exemption law, and was first whipped by Shen An, and then now by the old man.
Honest, right?
Zhao Shu looked at his son with a tangled face, remembering that he was tossing all kinds of things for this matter, his heart softened, and asked, "What does the prince think?" ”
This is a public place, and the relationship between them has become a monarch again.
Zhao Ji said: "The official family, the minister thinks that the first thing is that the people are overwhelmed, once they are served, the rich can say, but how many ordinary people can break their homes, and what do they get in the end?" What was lost? I think it's worth the loss! ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Someone in the back coughed, his face was red, but he was not coughed up, but he was angry.
"The Law of the Ancestors...... Immovable! ”
Zhao Shu glanced at this person and said, "How about you?" ”
In an instant, everyone knew that the official family was angry.
Shen An glanced at it, and it was a hardcore conservative who spoke and a hardcore opponent of the New Deal, Lu Hechun, the inspector of the Third Division of Salt and Iron.
Zhao Shu stood up and walked over slowly, Lu Hechun raised his head and said, "Official, this matter should be slowed down......"
History has proven that those who move slowly and slowly end up in nothing.
This thing is so bold that he dares to contradict Zhao Shu.
What are you looking for?
Shen An felt that it was seeking fame.
The favorite thing of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty is to raise hope, and those so-called 'masters' who squatted on Zhongnan Mountain in the former Han Dynasty are all pretending. However, the former Han Dynasty pretended to be a master, and the Great Song Dynasty pretended to be a gentleman......
A gentleman naturally has to be upright!
Zhao Ji said in a low voice: "It's a slap in the face to change me." ”
Shen An said angrily: "That's the official family, where can the emperor do it casually?" ”
Syllable!
Before the words fell, Zhao Shu in front waved his hand and slapped Lu Hechun, and then scolded: "You and others look disgusting, come here, pull them away!" ”
Chen Zhongheng shouted: "Someone! ”
Today, there were only people from the Imperial City Division, and they were not familiar with the business, so they rubbed it off.
Zhao Shu's anger came up, and he scolded: "It's all ministers!" ”
Oh ho!
The official family seems to be sick.
Shen An hurriedly shouted at Cao Tong, who was beside Lu Hechun: "Old Cao, Uncle Guo, what are you waiting for, do it!" ”
This is a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions!
Once in a blue moon!
Cao Yan hadn't reacted yet, but his trust in Shen An made him subconsciously do it.
Bang!
He punched Lu Hechun all over the face.
Shen An was stunned.
Zhao Ji said in a low voice: "Why did you let him do it?" It's not good to beat up officials in full view. ”
"You know a fart!" Shen An said angrily: "A certain person asked him to do it to drag Lu Hechun away, but Uncle Guo is too real, he said that he would do it...... No way! ”
Shen An's face was wrinkled, and when Zhao Ji looked at it, he saw that Cao Yan used sumo wrestling methods, reflexively grabbed Lu Hechun, and then came to a back fall.
Boom!
Lu Hechun fainted with a burp, his face was covered in blood, and he looked like he had just been ravaged by a few big men.
Cao Tong felt that his skills were good, and proudly gave his hand, "The minister is ugly." ”
Dedicated to your sister!
The ministers looked at the miserable Lu Hechun and felt that there was really nothing to say about it.
Official, clean up Uncle Cao.
But Zhao Shu said in a deep voice: "Good fight!" ”
Is this the official sick?
So none of the ministers dared to beep.
Shen An couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.
It turns out that these people are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard!
Zhao Shu felt that Cao Tong had taken a bad breath for himself, and the hot feeling in the back of his head had been reduced a lot, so he said: "What else do these people do as inspectors of the third division, I see that Uncle Cao Guo is better than him!" ”
Cao Tong was happy when he heard it, "The official family is wise!" ”
The errand of the inspector of the third division is to supervise the officials of the headquarters, and Cao Tong naturally cannot do it, and he loses points. But this recognition is really rare!
This is considered to be in the limelight, and the Empress Dowager Cao who wants to come to the palace will be very pleased.
Zhao Ji said regretfully: "I can't do it, you should be on it." ”
He felt that this was a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but Shen An felt that this was an opportunity to offset the merits, "If you go up, you will definitely break his legs...... The Zaifu are all here, the important ministers are all here, and everyone has seen how bad it is. ”
You shameless!
Zhao Ji looked at him and felt that his occasional black-bellied thoughts were all influenced by Shen An.
"Your Majesty......"
Someone fell to their knees.
Then more than a dozen people knelt down.
Zhao Shutie blushed and said, "What do you want to do?" ”
The men didn't speak, but everything was silent.
This is a silent protest!
Their concern was not about an exemption law, but about the beginning of a New Deal.
In the past few years, the Great Song Dynasty has continued to make some small innovations, but these small innovations have not moved much, and they have not touched the souls of these people, so everyone still endured it.
But today is different.
As soon as the exemption law came out, the first thing that came to everyone's mind was the New Deal.
What is the New Deal?
It is the policy before subverting and reforming.
The New Deal is to cut the flesh of a certain group, and the exemption law is the beginning, directly robbing the rich and helping the poor.
Whose flesh is going to be cut next?
"Your Majesty......"
Lu Hechun woke up, and he shouted, "Your Majesty...... The world will shake, and the world will be in chaos...... Your Majesty! ”
The more than ten people raised their heads and looked at Zhao Shu with anticipation.
Zhao Shu looked at these people, and only felt that his head was like a tight hoop on someone, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Zhao Ji walked over, helped him, and said, "Official, if the world is chaotic or not, they don't ...... if they say it."
it!
What do you mean by that?
Those people looked at Zhao Ji, and the cold color in their eyes flashed.
"Official, look at ......"
Zhao Ji pointed to the side, "Look at those people." ”
There were quite a few people standing around, and they were watching this side.
"This big Song is chaotic or not, they have the final say!"
Zhao Ji said very seriously: "The world is in chaos, and the people are in chaos first." The Great Song Dynasty has been in the past hundred years, and if there is any chaos, it will be my family that will be chaotic first...... Official, you have been conscientious since you ascended the throne...... But if you know that something is going on somewhere, you often have trouble sleeping...... You are so diligent, my family can't mess up. The people can't mess up! ”
Zhao Shu looked at those people, and he remembered the last time he stood at the head of the imperial city, he announced the grand occasion of the Great Song Dynasty canceling the New Year's coin.
Long live the sound of the tsunami......
And now?
He looked at the people.
Zhao Ji's words just now were not small, and the people should have heard them, so they were whispering at the moment.
In the face of change in the country, it is first necessary to unify thinking at the top.
But the upper echelons of the Great Song Dynasty were very complicated, and it was very difficult to unify their thoughts, almost impossible.
And what about the people?
The people are the greatest supporters of innovation.
Everybody was looking at these people.
And the people were looking at Zhao Shu.
An old man suddenly shouted: "Long live the official family!" ”
In an instant, Zhao Shu's tears filled his eyes......
……
It's the last day of the month! No, it's the last day of the year, and Jazz asks for a monthly pass.
