The tense situation in Gaotang lasted for more than ten days before it basically stopped, and this was still the case that there was no chaos in the end. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's early September, and it's getting cold in the morning and evening in this northern region. Every day and night, the unharvested grain in the terraced fields on the mountainside is in danger.

Now that the damage has been done, many farmers in the city who have fields on the mountainside are crying red eyes, and it is tentatively estimated that they will be lucky to be able to recover two-thirds of their grain. That's why when the situation stabilized, the whole family of those people who were desperate went into battle to grab the food that belonged to them.

Gao Tang's loss of this bit of food is a very acceptable blessing for Gao Fangping, an official master!

But for the common people it was almost a catastrophe, which was their hard work for a year, and many of them were tenants, that is to say, the fields were the landlords' fields, and no matter what the harvest was, they had to give the grain to the landlords at least six and a half layers. They left three and a half layers of their own, which was enough for them to barely make ends meet in the past, but this accident lost an average of about three layers of grain, that is to say, in addition to the payment to the landlords, for them it is really "winter is coming", whether they can survive until next year, it depends on the conscience and level of the consuls.

The greatest luck is that half of the fields on the mountainside belong to the Chai family. When raiding the house, Gao Fangping checked the "agreement" between the Chai family and them, and collected seven layers of commission food in a unified manner.

Now that the Chai family has been leveled down by Gao Fang, the county government has become the "heir to the contract rights" of the Chai family. So Xiao Gao picked up the pen and waved it, and set the policy of the county government: all fields belonging to the county government will only charge five layers of rent, no additional fees, and no unspoken rules.

It is possible that this rule will be changed cheaply in the future, but only possible. The so-called government tries not to change its orders overnight, and the ignorant officials do not understand this truth, but the corrupt officials do. Gao Lian is a corrupt official, or he is working towards the line of corrupt officials. But he is not a fool, he knows deeply that there are some things that can be greedy, and some things are related to reputation and political achievements, and he cannot be hated. If you don't have much greed, it will ruin your official and political prestige.

Therefore, it can be concluded that Gao Lian generally does not change this policy during Gao Fangping's agency.

As an official, I don't like to make money. It is certain that the officials under the Great Song Dynasty are greedy, but it is just the difference between good-looking and ugly. According to this starting point, all officials in the Great Song Dynasty may be wronged if they are beheaded, but if they are beheaded one by one, there should be a large number of people who slip through the net.

Fortunately, there is still a ministry of officials in the imperial court, and now Zhang Shangying and Shi Yan are presiding over the work of the ministry, and the review of political performance resumes and official reputations is relatively strict.

It is true that the Ministry of Officials can not eliminate corrupt officials, but such an audit system can make most of the motivated officials not too ugly, and the officials need to grasp a balance point, if it is too much to bring a bad reputation and bring a larger incident, although the scholar is exempt from death, but the Great Song Dynasty did not say that the scholar can be promoted all the time, and the more serious term of office will be rested at the end, yes, he will not be dismissed, but he will wait to receive some dry wages and wait for death.

For the official class, political interests and official positions are more important to them than monetary interests. Therefore, this is the importance of the princes of the imperial court, with a good official book, the life of 100 million people in the Great Song Dynasty can go up half a level. What can be counted on now is that Shi Wenbin's uncle will live a few more years, and he will hang up in the future, and Zhang Shangying will be promoted to the throne no matter what. This is the importance of the ministry.

The Criminal Department is aimed at the people, not the officials. Because of the political system of the Great Song Dynasty, they will not go to the officials. But to a certain extent, according to the policy set by the prime minister, the prime minister of the criminal department can restrain the madness of officials to a certain extent. For example, in principle, the punishment of beheading must be submitted to the Criminal Division for review, and if the number of more than three people is involved, the Criminal Division shall generally report to the Criminal Department for review.

Although this is painful, it has formed a more leisurely measure to restrain officials to a certain extent. Because if the officials in the world can wield butcher knives indiscriminately like Pork Ping, then they can cover up a lot of bad things, and then when they are too ugly, it is easy to suppress all kinds of news, and the incident will not be reported.

This is the compromise of law to politics. It has the significance of his time, and it is also the reason why the Great Song Dynasty regime does not recommend arbitrary sentencing. It is another form of Zhao Kuangyin, a political ghost, to "release military power with a glass of wine".

The reason is very simple, if you can casually behead the people and kill the lower-level officials at will, then the feudal officials who hold the three powers of military, political and legal affairs can easily turn their rule into a country within a country in just one year.

Throughout the ancient historical years, the Great Song Dynasty had the most bandits, the most rampant criminals, and the most cowardly government. Part of this is due to the inaction of officials after they avoid death, and the relative excessive civil power. That's the downside. But the two-sided nature of things determines that it also has benefits: the common people are relatively daring to speak and appeal, and even dare to go to Liangshan. This forced the entire bureaucratic system to "take it easy", and then brought about the full flowering of the commodity economy and science and industry.

Yes, the Great Song Dynasty had its own peculiarities, such an inefficient and corrupt bureaucratic system seemed to be deeply entrenched, but it was the only dynasty that did not have a nationwide peasant uprising by the time of its demise.

Zhao Kuangyin is a villain who took away his benefactor, and the process of founding the country was very unjust. His younger brother Zhao Guangyi is also a big stick with a very low character. But the biggest advantage of these two guys is that they are both outstanding politicians and have unique experience in the construction of political structures.

For example, the military system of the Great Song Dynasty is still being used even in China in 2016. In the 2016 military reform, it was called the "Ministry of the Army, the Ministry of the Air Force, and the Ministry of the Navy". The Sanya is only in charge of military affairs and does not care about military orders. The military department of the Great Song Dynasty was the Ministry of Defense in later generations, mainly in charge of mobilization, and the "spokesman" who issued some proclamations or something.

In the 2016 military reform, "theater and theater commanders" were established, and they were in charge of military orders and did not care about military and political affairs. This is called "road" in the Great Song Dynasty, such as He1 Beidong Road, Jingxi Road, and the road-level Jingluo pacification envoy is the commander of the theater. For example, Tong Guan is now the commander of the theater of the Yongxin Army Road in the northwest. The Privy Council is the Military Commission that gathers the powers of the four headquarters, but the main seat is not Tao Jiefu and Zhang Shuye, but Zhao Ji.

The Great Song Dynasty did not have the concept of a "great general" and did not have an army commander-in-chief. All great generals are false titles, because the real great generals must be concurrently held by the emperor. For example, in later generations, except for Marshal Zhu 1, there was no longer a "commander-in-chief". For example, the United States does not have a "commander-in-chief of the US military", only the chief of the general staff, and in fact, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff is the role of Tao Jiefu. The commander-in-chief of the US military must be the president of the United States.

So yes, a thousand years later, many relatively powerful and perfect regimes are actually going back to the ancient times to apply the system of the Great Song Dynasty. This is the wonder of the Great Song Dynasty. They devised a political system that was a millennium ahead of their time. Of course, the implementation efficiency of the Great Song Dynasty was still very low, so there was "transformation loss", so the political system that was 1,000 ahead of the times only exerted five layers of power, creating science and technology and economy and other aspects that were only 500 years ahead of the current era.

Uh, that's a long way off.

It is said that the grain in the terraced fields on the mountainside is being harvested by people crying and crying that they can't survive.

The county government inherited the contract of the Chai family, and they still couldn't survive under Gao Fangping's policy of revising the commission to five layers. So Gao Fangping had no choice but to fulfill the promise he had made to them at the city gate and reduce their grain tax to three levels this autumn.

If you want to be exempted, there is no way. This is definitely not the style of pork ping, and the government must collect as much grain as possible so that it can be used to coordinate the whole country. The battle of the Tang Dynasty exposed the Liao State's "immortality to my heart", and there was already a group of five Liao coins active in the Great Song Dynasty, which made Gao Fangping feel bad. Perhaps the resumption of the Song-Liao war is inevitable. This is an offset from the historical trajectory.

It is indeed a cold winter is coming, and from now on, we must prepare for national war. If there is a layout time of three to five years, Gao Fangping is really sure that he will form a solid defense line in the Hejian Mansion generation, and fight a hard battle with these guys that lasts for more than a year, dragging down the Liao State with national strength, and at the same time supplemented by economic means and propaganda means: training 30,000 "five copper coins" to enter the land of Yanyun to engage in underground activities, and slowly and imperceptibly change the thoughts of the Han people in the land of Yanyun to return to the country.

At that time, it was time to recover Yanyun. Once the sixteen states of Yanyun returned to the Han family, the northern barrier was erected and unfolded, and half of the "external troubles" in the north were gone......

The whole family went into battle and went to the mountainside terraces to harvest their grain. At the same time, there were many obscene homeless people in the refugee camp, pretending to be passing by the mountainside, peeking at the food that had been rescued and gathered, and there was actually a robbery, resulting in the death of a teenager.

Then more and more fugitives pretended to be passing by, and drank mountain spring water on the way they had to go.

Lin Chong was in charge of the order outside the city, and after hearing someone report it, he shouted at his war horse and rushed up the mountain, killed three homeless uncles, and directly corrected the law on the spot.

The rest of the people scattered, shouting "let's not drink water" and fled.

The reason why the three obscene uncles were killed was because they had no brains and found an excuse to drink water. Lin Chong said angrily, who are you bluffing? Do you need to travel more than ten miles to the mountains to drink water? The county government has already provided water, damn it or boiled water, and you are going to find a dead mountain to drink the spring water full of parasites?

For those people who were protected, some children called Lin Chong "Little Zhao Zilong".

Later, Lin Chong said in the refugee camp: If you have time to pass by and peek at other people's food, in fact, you have more time to cut some firewood together, which can be used to exchange food for the people you are going to rob. Xiao Gao Xiang famously said that eating depends on labor, not robbery.

Then the displaced people came to their senses and began to cut firewood, exchanging it for food with the people of the city. The people in the city are also in great need of firewood, because the cold winter in the north is no joke. And many of them did not have enough labor to collect firewood, so there was demand for trade, and mutual exchange was the basis of the commodity economy. (To be continued.) )
