Chapter Ninety-One: Three Strategies for Wasteland
Zhong Hao is now following Fu Bi to learn various government affairs in the state government. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the Great Song Dynasty, Zhizhou had a lot of power, and the states of the Great Song Dynasty were actually directly under the imperial court, and the Zhizhou could directly report to the imperial court. Although the Great Song Dynasty is now divided into fifteen roads, in fact, the roads are not a first-class formal administrative division, and like the transit envoy road, the pacification envoy road, the Changping Division and the prison division road, are not overlapping, but the mutual jurisdiction is intersecting. So. The road in the Great Song Dynasty can only be regarded as an administrative supervision area and a military region.
With Fu Bi's power, he can naturally arrange an errand for Zhong Hao in the state, but this dispatch is not awarded by the Inquisitor's Court, and it is not a real dispatch, so naturally there will be no court officials, and the state government will take care of it.
Of course, Zhong Hao is not bad at that point now, Natural House has now opened three branches in Qingzhou, Zhong Hao has more than 100 monthly dividends, and he can be regarded as having a thin family asset, so he naturally doesn't care about the little bit of money.
In addition to the governor, the officials of the state government also set up a "general judgment of a certain state affairs" and consular state affairs, that is, general judgment, and the specific duties are to adjudicate the soldiers and civilians, money valley, household registration, enlistment, prison litigation hearing, etc., and the text is jointly signed with the governor. Like all deputies, it is basically the chief officer who is in charge, and the deputy can be in charge, but in fact, he can't manage anything. Generally, the chief officer is the most taboo for his deputies to fight for power. However, the difference between the general judgment and the deputy of the county is that the Zhizhou document needs to be countersigned by the general judgment to be effective. And the county does not have this power, if you meet a stronger county, the county is basically a decoration, but in the strong state of the general judgment to save some face, otherwise the general judgment will not give the governor a countersignature, and the governor will also be uncomfortable.
In addition to the general judgment, the officials and subordinates of the state government also have records, households, justice, managers and other Cao to join the army. The record of joining the army is in charge of the affairs of the state government, and pickets the violations of each Cao; The household is in charge of household registration, enlistment, and warehouse acceptance; The judiciary is in charge of the law and sentences; The manager joined the army and was in charge of the trial of prison proceedings. In addition, there are also shogunate officials such as the secretary of the festival, the judge, and the magistrate, as well as the professor of state studies.
There are six counties under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, with a large population and complicated affairs, so naturally it is impossible for these officials to manage it, and there must be many officials to assist. The setting of the state government is the same as that of the county government, but the number of people is more than that of the county government.
A county and county officials are divided into six departments, including officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and generally each room has a division, two canons, and three officials. The officials of the state government are also the same as the county government, and they are also divided into six sections, with the four Cao Cao joining the army, and the six departments of the county government. Of course, the affairs of the state government are much more complicated than those of the county government, and there are more officials in each room than the county government, and there are many unprepared scribes.
Zhong Hao now belongs to the state government secretary, who has joined the army, and is an unstaffed clerk under the jurisdiction of the corresponding household.
Zhong Hao already has an official body, and he was personally arranged by Lord Zhizhou, so he has a great future in the future, so he will naturally not threaten the status of those economic officials in the household. The Wang Si of the state yahufang was very polite to him, and he was very dedicated to helping Zhong Hao learn civil affairs. If other idle scribes came, but they were not treated so well, they were generally arranged by the royal officials to do some complicated affairs.
Fu Bi meant to let Zhong Hao do the clerks in the six rooms one by one, and familiarize himself with all kinds of chores, so as to be used in the future.
Zhong Hao secretly thought: This is to cultivate himself into an all-round talent, I really want to learn so many things, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to use it.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Early autumn and July are the time of wheat harvest in the north.
Immediately after the wheat harvest, it is time for the yamen to collect the autumn tax.
Today, Zhong Hao is sitting in front of his case, looking at last year's autumn grain account book, learning to understand the process of autumn tax collection, hoping to make a little effort for the upcoming autumn tax collection.
But the prince came to him at this time.
"Zhong Gongzi, Fu Xianggong just sent a chief to call you over, I'm afraid that there is something to discuss with you, you should hurry over, don't let Fu Xianggong wait for a long time!" Although Zhong Hao is a loose official, his grade is there, and Wang Siguan is just a bureaucrat, no grade or rank, and he is not even a foreign official, so it is said that Zhong Hao should be honored as an official position. But Zhong Hao came to learn, insisting that he was just an idle scribe and a subordinate of Wang Si, and he didn't let Wang Si Shi call himself like this, and called Hao Ge'er or Xiao Zhong. Secretary Wang felt that it was not appropriate to call Brother Hao'er, after all, Zhong Hao's grade was there, and in the end he had to politely call Zhong Hao Zhong Gongzi.
Zhong Hao listened to the words of the Wang secretary, and hurriedly put down the account book, got up and went to Fubi's signing room.
When Zhong Hao came to Fu Bi's signing room, Fu Bi was buried in the case.
Fu Bi looked up and saw Zhong Hao come in to salute, and said, "Yo, Wenxuan is here, sit down!" “
Zhong Hao sat down on a Huanghuali official hat chair and spoke: "I don't know what happened to the rich minister?" “
"This official is fine, but Brother Xiwen has something to inquire about?"
"Ah......" When Zhong Hao heard Fu Bi's words, he couldn't help but sweat profusely, Fan Xianggong, who was famous all over the world, actually asked himself what was the situation.
Seeing Zhong Hao's dumbfounded appearance, Fu Bi couldn't help but explain: "The Great Song Dynasty has been out of tune in the past few years. This year, there was a major drought in Zhejiang, and the early rice harvest was seriously failed, and the victims were everywhere. Brother Xiwen wrote to ask the official for the details of some disaster relief measures, and by the way, I asked if you had a solution to the soaring rice prices in Hangzhou. When I sent a letter to Brother Xiwen that time, I really praised you for your resourcefulness! "The reason why Fu Bi said to Fan Zhongyan that Zhong Hao was resourceful was because when he investigated Zhong Hao, he found out about Zhong Hao's rectification of Tang Er and Zheng County Lieutenant. Although Zhong Hao is secretive, Fu Bi wants to inquire and can still find out these things.
Although Fu Bi is a humble gentleman, he actually has some appreciation for Zhong Hao's endless wisdom and methods to deal with people. Now the court is sinister, and without some wisdom and means, it is difficult to protect the whole body. Reformers themselves have been defeated by some small means.
Xia Zhu asked a maidservant to copy Shi Jie's handwriting day and night, and forged a letter to Fu Bi, the content of which was that the reformists planned to abolish the current official family and establish a new monarch. Fu Bi and others couldn't explain their reasoning, so they had to ask for foreign appointments, and the new deal was hit by this and failed.
In Fu Bi's mind, Xia Zhu is a conspirator who is accustomed to playing small tricks, but it is undeniable that although Xia Zhu's methods are disgraceful, it is undeniable that he did succeed.
Therefore, Fu Bi was not only not disgusted by Zhong Hao's use of a small scholar to find a way to deal with Tang Er and Zheng County, who were stronger than him, but also very pleased. There are enough gentlemen of the reformists, there must be someone who knows the art of belly black, and in the future, to deal with villains like Xia Zhu, they will have to rely on people like Zhong Hao who are full of wisdom.
Zhong Hao did not know that he was already considered by the reformers to be a wise general on his side.
Only through government affairs, not through power and strategy, then you can only be a follower, but not a cadre, a capable official. Fu Bi's expectations for Zhong Hao are still very high.
After listening to Fu Bi's words, Zhong Hao remembered that Fan Zhongyan recited in later generations the famous "Three Policies for Waste Administration", wasn't it implemented when he knew Hangzhou, why did he still ask himself, wasn't it the way he came up with by himself? Or haven't figured it out yet?
Fan Zhongyan's "Three Policies for Waste Administration" and Fu Bi's "Decentralized Disaster Relief Law" were both disaster relief policies widely recited by later generations. Zhong Hao's later generations, as a Song culture research specialist, have read them carefully.
Could it be that Fan Zhongyan's "Three Strategies for Wasted Government" was inspired by others, and is it a mistake that this task is now falling on him?
In any case, Zhong Hao still admires Fan Zhongyan, a pure and upright character who shines through the ages. "The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world", although Zhong Hao cannot do this, he still admires such a person who is dedicated to the public. Moreover, Fan Zhongyan is also one of his own recommenders, and Zhong Hao has the responsibility to share his worries.
At that time, Zhong Hao told what later generations learned about the "three policies of famine administration" implemented by Fan Zhongyan during the catastrophe and famine in Zhejiang and Zhejiang.
Zhong Hao thought: Even if Fan Zhongyan came up with these methods at this time, it coincided with himself. If you didn't expect that inspired by yourself, then you can be regarded as helping him, how can it be regarded as benefiting others and yourself.
As a matter of fact, one of the ultimate demands of these "three policies for famine administration" is to raise grain prices and attract grain merchants from all over the world to transport grain for sale.
Merchants seek profits, and in a famine year, grain merchants will inevitably hoard and the price of grain will rise sharply. However, in those days, transportation was inconvenient and information dissemination was slow, and it was difficult for foreign grain merchants to enter the local market. However, the two Zhejiang provinces are close to the huge grain-producing area of the Huguang region, and there are waterways leading to the two Zhejiang provinces in the Huguang area, so as long as people are sent to Huguang to advertise that Hangzhou buys grain at a high price, if the price is high enough, it will definitely attract a large number of grain merchants to transport grain to sell. When there is an oversupply, food prices will naturally come down.
Of course, if this method is implemented in Qingzhou, it may not work, there is not much grain production area around Qingzhou, and the cost of land transportation is too high in this era, there is no waterway, only rely on land long-distance food trafficking, the profit is difficult to be too high.
Zhong Hao just said these three general measures, as for how to exert them, I believe that figures like Fan Zhongyan, who have been in power for many years, can naturally be implemented perfectly.
Zhong Hao said that he had learned about the "Three Strategies for Wasteland", and Fu Bi's eyes couldn't help but light up. In fact, he and Fan Zhong didn't expect Zhong Hao to come up with any way, after all, Zhong Hao had not seen the situation in Hangzhou, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to put forward substantive opinions, but Zhong Hao proposed three unconventional measures, Fu Bi thought about it carefully, but it was refreshing. Especially in the last article, Zhong Hao also put forward some possible means, such as creating public opinion, saying that a large amount of grain is about to be shipped from Huguang. Another example is the use of large boats to load boulders, creating the illusion that a large amount of grain has been transported from the lake. If the operation is good, maybe without waiting for the grain from Huguang to arrive, it will be able to make the grain merchants in Hangzhou who are hoarding Juqi panic and reduce the price.
Fu Bi was overjoyed and said: "Wen Xuan is not only extraordinary, but also has a lot of wisdom, and he will be a capable official in the future!" I'm going to write to Brother Shewin and tell Brother Shewin about these measures you mentioned, and they will definitely be of great use! (To be continued.) )
