Chapter 790: Admonishing Guo Tu
(It may be that I was cold last night, and I got up at half past four this morning and looked at the computer in a daze for an hour and a half, but there was not a word about it, and yesterday's four more words are afraid that it will be difficult to achieve, and I apologize deeply to Xiao Zhuge here, but it will never be less, please rest assured.) )
Seven days after King Yan arrived in Yecheng, Guo Tu Jian Yong and other officials in charge of disaster relief also returned to the office, after Liu Yi left the camp to inspect the various armies, they fulfilled their promise to King Yan, a total of more than 17,000 people were properly resettled, at this time also received enough winter food and rice seeds from the county government, and were rebuilding their homes with the help of local governments, while Guo Tu and Jian Yong were only on their way home after sending away the last group of disaster victims.
Liu Yi showed enough respect for this, he and Zhao Yun personally out of Yecheng ten miles to welcome, and Guo, Jian and the two of them back in the same car, this time in the face of rain and the Yellow River, from Beiping to Yecheng and then to the counties, counties and townships have shown a very high efficiency and tacit cooperation, from the reinforcement of the embankment to the evacuation and resettlement of the victims and the subsequent epidemic prevention and reconstruction of homes are in an orderly manner, so that Liu Yi is very pleased that he spent painstaking efforts to establish this administrative system has shown full effectiveness, This is more important to him than the damage caused by heavy rains.
The first contribution to the disaster is not Tian Yu, Jian Yong, Guo Tu three people, Jizhou military and civilians have also made a lot of efforts, now Tian Yu has already returned to Beiping, Yanzhou War is imminent, grain, grass, ordnance, civilian labor and other heavier work is still waiting for him. When the group arrived at the gate of Yecheng, Liu Yi and Zhao Yun got off the car side by side and invited Jian and Guo to the high-headed horses that had been arranged long ago, and King Yan and Zhao Jianshi personally led the horses and stirrups for them, and paraded with the main streets of the city to boast of the great achievements made by the two and a group of officials here. For Xianhe and Gongzhi, this is already a supreme honor, although it is a panic to resign, where can it stop the actions of Liu Zhao and the others? The people of Yecheng are also cheering for them sincerely, and the hard work of the two in Jizhou over the past few years is in the eyes of everyone.
This is something that Liu Yi and Zhao Yun have long discussed, and at that time, there were officials who said that this move violated the way of the upper and lower levels and damaged the majesty of King Yan, but Liu Yi said that in the past, King Wen had to see the five returns of the Dongguo savages, but he always held the courtesy and paid tribute, and it was half a part of the damage to his majesty? This time, the public rule Xian and others are people who have made great contributions to the people of Jizhou, so what's the harm in respecting them? As soon as this statement came out, everyone was speechless, the truth is indeed good, but how many times have it in ancient times if Liu Yi's status can stay like this? However, from the cheers and spontaneous applause of the people, they also knew what King Yan had done, not only did not damage his majesty, but made the officials and the people more respectful.
After a lively crowd returned to the state capital, Zhao Yun had already prepared a banquet for its wind, the so-called blessing and misfortune depended on each other, the heavy rain in Jizhou brought a lot of losses to the farmland, which can be described as a catastrophe from heaven, but under the concerted efforts of everyone, the efficiency of Jizhou's governance was shown in front of all the people, so that they knew that even if the power of heaven is unpredictable, under the leadership of King Yan, in the end, people will win the sky, King Yan will never give up any of the Han people, and it has a great effect on the cohesion of people's hearts.
After the luncheon, Guo Tu, Jianyong and others did not return to the mansion to rest as arranged by Liu Yi and Zhao Yun, but told King Yan the details of the disaster relief and the gains and losses in the governance of Jizhou in the past few years. A total of 270,000 people and soldiers were dispatched to fight the disaster in Jizhou, and more than 50,000 people from the neighboring areas who came to help them spontaneously were added, and when all the 17,347 victims were properly resettled, the number of casualties counted was 1,377, of which 368 were killed and more than 1,000 were injured.
Among the victims, one hundred and thirty-seven are the people affected by the disaster, and the rest are the soldiers and soldiers who participated in the disaster, and the proportion of the injured is less than 30%, and the pension and resettlement of the casualties have all been in place, in addition to the allocation of Beiping and the state capital, donations also account for a large proportion of them, since the day the disaster began, the materials from all over the country have been concentrated in a steady stream to the disaster area, or even more than the needs of Guo Tu and others, after experiencing drought and snow disasters and many small disasters, The emergency response mechanism among Liu Yi's subordinates has been extremely perfect, and officials at all levels in various localities have also accumulated relatively sufficient experience, so that today's situation can be achieved.
From these detailed figures alone, Liu Yi can clearly understand the details of this disaster relief, such a disaster is the most test of the government's ability to respond, it is obvious that from Guo Tu Jian Yong to the county Wei County Cheng and all the officials have withstood the test! Of course, in the face of so many disaster relief materials, it was not that no one was greedy, and afterwards, under Guo Tu's careful investigation, ten officials who were greedy for more than 300 stones of grain and grass were dug up, and once verified, they were immediately dismissed on the spot, and I was escorted to Yecheng to listen to the whereabouts. Liu Yi also supported everyone's proposition, but in it exempted some of the crimes of joint sitting, and proposed that only the first offender should be corrected, and the rest should be convicted according to the law.
After the battle between the ministers and relatives and the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the princes fought for hegemony at the end of the Han Dynasty, the population resources were the biggest scarcity, and now in Liu Yi's subordinate territory, although it has accounted for half of the population of the Han Dynasty, the total number is less than 18 million, which has been the result of his great attention and various methods to encourage it for more than ten years. A Shanghai is better than his sum, in today's agriculture-based social system, the number of population represents the strength of the productive forces, and it is also an important basis for judging the strength of the princes of all walks of life, so it is not a great crime Liu Yi has a lot of discretion above the death penalty, the kind of Zhulian Nine Clans, Yi Three Clans, etc. are even more undesirable, according to the current comparison between the labor force and the yield per mu in Youzhou, a strong labor force can feed three people or a cavalry army, it is obvious that replacing punishment with labor is the most reasonable way at the moment, That is the purpose of the law at this time!
This report lasted until the evening, and even the dinner was spent in it, which made Liu Yi find the feeling of holding a company meeting in later generations, and the people of the late Han Dynasty attached great importance to the etiquette of the meal, and the officialdom family was even more so, but under the long-term unremitting efforts of King Yan, the officialdom was also changing, and many times Guo Tu and others in the disaster relief were discussing matters while eating, and no one felt that this matter was too rude.
With the deepening of these reports, the basic situation of Jizhou is clearer in Liu Yi's mind, and he can't help but rejoice in his southern tour, while the rapid development of Youzhou states, especially the prosperity of commerce, has brought a lot of problems to the people and the locality, and if the subtleties are not mentioned in detail by these officials, it is very likely to be ignored by Liu Yi in the past, Langsheng is not afraid of many problems, this is the inevitability of social development, and through the joint efforts of everyone, we can always find effective ways to solve them. On the contrary, what he is most afraid of is that he can't hear the problem below, which may be ignored or concealed by the officials, which is precisely the biggest problem.
Guo Tu is good at governing and communicating with people, and during this southern tour, Liu Yi has a deeper understanding of him, he is not afraid of exposing the problems that may affect his career in front of King Yan, and even dares to criticize the shortcomings of some policies formulated by Liu Yi and Beiping Mansion, which undoubtedly makes Liu Yi extremely appreciative, as a traverser, it is a natural law to combine the experience of the later generations with the present world to seek better development, but this is also to cross the river by feeling the stones, and the experience of this thing may not be applicable to any eraTherefore, Lansheng is not afraid that his views will be questioned by his subordinates, and to some extent he is still encouraging this behavior.
But now that he is in a high position and has power all over the world, those subordinates who are familiar with him like Jia Xu Guo Jia naturally know that King Yan is a person and will not have too many scruples, but it is also very common to report good news and bad news, and to deceive the superiors and subordinates, but it is still relatively slight to a certain extent, this is a stubborn disease in Chinese officialdom, Liu Yi does not expect to be able to completely eliminate it, but only hopes to minimize its negative impact, and a talent like Guo Tu is extremely rare, and he is still different from Tian Feng's uprightness, Often, even if some opinions are said in his mouth so that you can understand them without feeling too unacceptable, here it is easier said than done.
Although the way of the Chinese gentleman is to pay attention to uprightness, but more is also to pay attention to the way of subtlety, but often too subtle is difficult for the superior to understand the problems in decision-making, especially in the officialdom that is afraid of the wind, so there will be the words of the state-owned ministers who do not forget their country, and in general, there will be ministers around Mingjun, Liu Yi's drama Zhicai is such a role, he is the only one who dares to pull Lang Sheng's robe in the war and even does not hesitate to block it with his body, in addition to Zhang Hu, Jia Xu, Guo Jiadu does not have such qualities, but Xi Zhicai's fortitude is more manifested in military decision-making, and at this time, the status of Guo Tu in front of him in Liu Yi's heart is becoming more and more important. Now Lang Sheng's focus is naturally above the military, after all, the world has not yet been unified at this time, and he needs more loyal and brave soldiers to charge for him, but this will change with the development of the situation, and the reckless use of military force is definitely not a long-term method!
Liu Yi also has a lot of talents in the way of governance, Jiangdong Erzhang, Chen Qun, Zhong Xuan, including Jian Yong Guo Tu in front of him are all the choice of the moment, the prosperity of the states in Youzhou They are the biggest heroes, but what is currently lacking around Lang Sheng is a minister, who can keep pointing out the mistakes and various deficiencies he has made by his side, Guo Tu Guo Gong in front of him obviously has this quality, even if his character may not be as upright as Tian Feng Xizhicai, but here it can be coordinated by some means, For example, Liu Yi can order not to offend the ministers, or he can issue them a gold medal for exoneration, in short, he must ensure that he does not make or make fewer unnecessary mistakes, it seems that after the battle of Jizhou, it should be a correct choice to transfer Guo Gongze to his side.
There is a core problem in the report of Jian Yongguo Tu and the others, this problem is not only in Jizhou, but also everywhere is gradually becoming obvious, that is, the annexation of land, the vast land and sparse population make many fertile land are in the hands of the family, rich resources and advantageous position will make them attract ordinary people to cultivate the fields for them in various ways, which is very tempting for the people in the early stage, but as the land in their hands is gradually concentrated in the hands of the family, all kinds of exploitation will appear, Land annexation will also intensify!
This problem may not have a huge impact on the overall situation in a few years, but in the long run, it will definitely exacerbate social contradictions and make people's hearts unstable, and at the same time hinder the development of production, and must be restricted in advance, but what kind of method to take requires Liu Yi to carefully consider, land represents the most basic interests of the scholars, once Liu Yi does this, if he is too radical, he will encounter great resistance, but a small fight can not solve the key to the problem, How to properly curb this momentum will be a difficult problem that Langsheng needs to deal with carefully in the law of governance for a long time!
