The guest and the host sat down, Zhang Yue looked around, and then said with a chuckle: "This official came to Lantai this time on the holy order of His Majesty, and came to ask the princes to introduce me to the situation of local officials in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou......"

Listening to Zhang Yue's words, the smiles of Jun Budo, Yang Wei and Zhang Mao froze on their faces.

The Son of Heaven sent his lieutenant to find out about the local county officials?

This is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous signal!

This shows that the Son of Heaven may no longer be able to bear the situation in Qingzhou, Yangzhou and Xuzhou.

The three of them looked at each other, and finally said without questioning: "I don't know what aspect of the situation the servant wants to know?" ”

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "I have read the reports and recitals of the princes, and I have also carefully read the reports of the officials of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou counties......"

"The situation is shocking!"

"The Son of Heaven was extremely angry when he heard this, thinking that the southeast was no longer a Han Tuhu?"

Jun Budo and the others hurriedly came out and bowed respectfully: "The lower officials are waiting for capital crimes!" ”

Zhang Yue waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty recognizes and highly appreciates the work of your dukes!" ”

Everyone hurriedly bowed again: "The lower officials are afraid!" ”

The problems of Qingzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou, as a history of thorns, of course they understand.

The seriousness of the problem is even very clear.

But what's the solution?

The history of the assassin is only 600 stones, although the name is under the banner of the imperial history, and there is even the Son of Heaven Festival, you can act cheaply.

But in the end, there are few people and little power, and in the face of a huge bureaucratic system, all they can do is try their best to correct it.

If you really can't correct it, you can only ask your superiors to intervene.

However, thousands of miles away, the order of Chang'an City has arrived in the place, how effective is it?

There's a big question mark over that.

Moreover, even if the assassin really has the power, what can he do in the face of a complex and vast jurisdiction?

Taking Qingzhou as an example, Qingzhou has eight counties and two countries, hundreds of counties, and a population of nearly 10 million.

And the history of Qingzhou Thorns, a total of just one Thorn History and one Cheng, plus more than a dozen adjutants and hundreds of officers and soldiers, miscellaneous officials and servants.

It's like a drop of water, dripping into the sea, it doesn't make a big difference at all.

Especially in the local area, many scholars and officials have pursued a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude towards the assassination.

Therefore, the problem can only ferment slowly.

Up to now, even if it is them, it is not clear how serious the problem of the jurisdiction under their jurisdiction has become?

Jun Bu is even pessimistic that the problem of Qingzhou can only be solved by the army in the end.

Now, Zhang Yue's attitude and message have made him even more pessimistic.

"The public doesn't have to be like this...... Zhang Yue stepped forward to help the three of them up, and said, "Here, I'm here to discuss with the public how to solve these problems!" ”

He looked at Jun Budo and asked, "Man Qiangong, in the public opinion, if the country wants to get rid of the evils of Qingzhou and rebuild the world, who can be relied on?" ”

Jun Bu doubted that when he heard this, he bowed and said: "In the opinion of the following officials, if the court wants to get rid of the maladministration, Zheng Yuan, the capital of Beihai County, Liu Sui, the Taishou of Qiancheng County, Zhao Jianwen, the prince of Jiaodong, and Yang Fen, the official of Jiaodonghai, may be able to share the worries of the country!" ”

"These are all good local officials, who have the heart to be loyal to the Son of Heaven and seek the well-being of the people!"

Zhang Yue listened, and secretly wrote down the names of these people in his heart.

It is good to say that they are capable and willing to do things.

But, in the end, whether they can do it or not, Zhang Yue has to contact it himself.

Then, Zhang Yue asked Zhang Mao and Yang Wei again, and also got the list of good officials in Yangzhou and Xuzhou.

Zhang Yue counted in his heart, adding up to fourteen places and two thousand stones.

Although compared to the hundreds of two thousand stones in the three states of Qingxu and Yang, this number seems a little pitiful.

But for Zhang Yue, it was enough.

Archimedes of Greece said, give me a fulcrum, and I can pry the earth.

For Qing Xu Yang's affairs, as long as there is a group of capable officials who are willing to do things and are willing to do things, they can completely pry this pool of stagnant water.

Besides, Zhang Yue didn't do this empty-handed.

The essence of politics is interest and exchange.

As long as you find the right way, you can convince the majority of people to participate in the reform.

If you really want to compare, in fact, when Shang Jun changed the law in the Qin State, the situation he faced was much worse than that of Qing Xu Yang of the Han family now.

At that time, the Qin State lost its teachers and humiliated the country, and even lost Hangu Pass.

And the internal politics are chaotic and rotten, and they are extremely backward.

A large number of corrupt ministers occupy the country's resources.

And the people at the bottom see no hope at all.

The forces that opposed the changes far exceeded the support that Shang Jun had.

But why was Shang Jun able to succeed?

Zhang Yue has been studying and thinking about this matter since he crossed over.

By now, he could almost understand the reason for Shang Jun's success.

Shangjun's success is actually built on the basis of making the cake bigger and allowing everyone to participate in sharing.

Moreover, his reforms were gradual, and did not touch the fundamental interests of the old aristocracy and old interest groups at the beginning.

Instead, he slowly figured it out, and only when the reform began to work, and when there were more and more profit-making groups, and a new landlord class was created that was enough to confront the old interest groups, he began to change the law for the second time, abolishing the well-field system, opening up the country, forcing the small-scale peasant economy, and implementing the alien system.

What's more, before the second change, Shang Jun fought a battle first.

With the victory of foreign military and the dividends of war, the foundation for changing the law again has been laid.

Even the old nobles have to admit that Shang Jun's change of law has really made the Qin State strong and really benefited the Qin State.

It is precisely because of this that even if the Shang monarch was divided, the Qin system and laws created by him did not change.

Today, the situation in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou is of course different from the situation faced by Shangjun.

However, there are many things to learn from.

At least, the successful experience of Shang Jun's reform of the law told Zhang Yue that he should change the world in an environment full of old aristocracy and old forces taking root, and depict the blueprint of the world according to his own ideals.

The first thing to do is to avoid direct confrontation with the old aristocracy and the old interest groups.

Because if it provokes these rotten and old forces.

They may stumble everywhere, pull back their legs, disobey the yang and disobey, and make all kinds of trouble.

Just like the old party in Wang Anshi's reform, it doesn't matter whether the new law is good or not, the important thing is to destroy it first.

Even if it leads to division and serious damage to the country.

At the same time, it is necessary to win over and unite the people at the bottom.

The silent majority, in many cases, is indeed silent and powerless.

But when they are organized and willing to defend their interests, no matter how powerful the old aristocracy is, they have to bow their heads.

And Zhang Yue has already come up with a way to let the silent majority support and support him - to repair water conservancy!
