In the afternoon, the Wende Hall was quiet and silent, the sandalwood pieces were burning quietly in the incense burner, the two palace maids were slowly fanning behind Zhao Zhen, and the high trees outside the hall knew the sound of chirping, but it did not disturb Zhao Zhen at all.

The test papers on the case were piled up, Zhao Zhen personally looked at them one by one, wrote down the comments, and handed them to Yan Shu, Du Yan, Zhang Dexiang, Chen Zhizhong, Xia Zhu, Fu Bi and others who accompanied him.

After reading dozens of strategies in a row, Zhao Zhen straightened up slightly, reached out and gently tapped his back, and rubbed his eyes.

"Your Majesty, rest for a while and read again, don't get tired." Xia Zhu said slowly.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid to be tired, it's just that these strategies are written on the surface, and I'm not very satisfied; This year's move seems to be inferior to the previous department, and I am slightly disappointed. ”

Zhao Zhen sighed slightly, stretched out his hand and picked up the next test paper, this is a beautiful and upright pavilion font, scan it, there is no trace of modification and painting, it looks neat and clean.

"The politics of the past dynasties have had disadvantages for a long time. If you don't save it, trouble will happen. Why? Tsunade Baptism. The system is declining, the rewards are not frugal, the endowment is excessive, the human feelings are miserable, and natural disasters are outrageous. Only Yao Shun can change and make the people tireless. ”

Zhao Zhen read the opening paragraph, and suddenly lifted his spirits, and when he opened his words, he was sonorous and powerful, never dragging mud and water, covering up, and the text was spicy and concise, which was completely different from the previous article.

"Yi" said: If you are poor, you will change. Change is common, and it will last for a long time. This is said that the reason of the world is exhausted, and the way to change is to think of a workaround. If you can be flexible, you will grow for a long time. The rebellion of the five generations of revolution in our country, rich all over the world, hanging for 80 years, the discipline system, the day and the moon invade, the officials are in the bottom, the people are trapped outside, the Yi Di is arrogant, and the thieves are blazing, and it is necessary to change to save it. However, if you want to correct the end, you must end it; If you want to clear its stream, you must clear its source. I dare not dare to make an appointment with the way of the previous emperors, seek the martyrdom of the ancestors of the present dynasty, and make it feasible. May Your Majesty follow the heart of the world and do your best in this matter, so that the legal system of the clan will be established, and the discipline will be revitalized, and the patriarch of the sect will be blessed by the world. ”

"Good turn!" Zhao Zhen praised the case: "If you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will be able to do it for a long time." This sentence is most appropriate here, but it depends on whether the actual advice behind can hit the nail on the head, and don't be exaggerated. ”

The ministers stretched their necks and looked up, I don't know whose article the emperor read was so happy, it seems that this article is better than the dozens of articles I read before.

"In the next thought, there are ten disadvantages today, one is said: the dethronement is unknown. The minister's view of the "book" said: "Three years of performance appraisal, three exams of the dethroned and bright." However, the dynasty of Yao Shun, at least, is still nine years of relocation, must seek results, and the world is great, after a hundred generations, Yang is the emperor. In my ancestral dynasty, there was no example of grinding and surveying by civil and military officials, but those who were able to do so were not promoted; Those who have nothing to say will not move until they are old. Therefore, everyone is self-motivated for performance. Today, the cultural resources are moved every three years, and the military positions are moved every five years, which is called grinding and surveying. Not limited to inside and outside, regardless of work and rest, virtuous and unscrupulous, this is not the meaning of Yao Shun and Yu Ming! ”

"Makes sense!" Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, the promotion of officials in the Great Song Dynasty follows the three-year relocation of civil officials and the five-year relocation of military attachés, and the reign time is too short, so they all get by, do not seek merit but seek no fault, and the result is not much contribution to the local area, and more corruption and fraud will leave after making a fortune, anyway, they will not stay here for a long time, not only can not play the role of governing the place, but become a scourge; This is food for thought.

Zhao Zhen sighed and continued to look down: "If there is a virtuous person among the officials, who is in charge of a county and a county, and leads a bureau, and thinks about Xingli and harms and does something, everyone will point out that it is a matter of life, and they will be jealous and frustrated, and they will laugh at it, and if they make a slight mistake, they will fall into it." Therefore, those who do not eat the corpse are safe, but there is nothing to do. Although it is stupid and despiseful, people are silent. …… And every three years, those who sit in the secretary and eunuch are all the same, who is willing to benefit His Majesty's public family, save the people's diseases, go to the disadvantages of political affairs, and the bad of the discipline outline! If the benefit is not prosperous, the country will be weak, and if the disease is not saved, it will be empty. Grievances. ”

"If you don't go bad, the villain will get the will, and if you don't do it, the king will lose. Virtuous and unscrupulous, please take chances, move endlessly, Chinese and foreign harsh, everything is wasted, the people have suffered for a long time, and thieves are gradually rising. If Your Majesty Lao is worried about his heart and gall, isn't it because the official loses his integrity and causes him to be in danger! If you are in the Beijing Baisi, the golden valley is vast, and the powerful children are long to occupy, and there is a lack of food and endowment, and those who will stay for one or two years. the temporary bureau, coercing the force. How can you do your duty? The place where the ancestors are rooted, the discipline is declining. Therefore, in the Beijing lawsuit, if there is one member, there are several contenders. When he was an official of the Beijing Dynasty, he had a private residence to be left behind, and when he was over the age of moving, he often began to grind and investigate, and there was no diligence, and he was relocated and changed. This is a reason for everyone to follow and not to work hard. ”

"I don't think that in the future, if the ministers of the two places have great merit and goodness, they will be specially ordered; There is no great merit and great goodness, and it is not necessary to advance the ranks. The specific situation, the towel phrase is long, and there is no time to prepare it today, but please let the court know about Ming Zhi's move, and this is one of them. ”

Zhao Zhen held his breath and read all the way, and the article listed ten current evils in a reasonable and well-founded manner, and put forward solutions one by one.

One is the Ming Dynasty, that is, the strict promotion and promotion system of officials.

The second is to suppress luck, that is, to restrict the ways of becoming an official and being promoted by chance.

The three fine tribute measures, that is, the strict tribute system.

Fourth, the chief is chosen. In view of the situation that the incompetent officials at the state and county levels are eight or nine out of ten, it is recommended that the imperial court send competent people to all walks of life to check the local political performance, reward the able, and remove the incompetent; The selection of magistrates should be carefully recommended and reviewed in order to prevent redundancy.

Five are all public fields. Public land, or professional land, is one of the fixed incomes of magistrates, but it is often unevenly distributed. It is suggested that the imperial court should balance the income of local officials; Those who have no jobs are given to them according to their ranks, so that they can have enough income to support themselves. Then we can rebuke them for their integrity. Those who violate the law may also be punished or removed from office. In fact, it is a high salary in disguise. Honest behavior.

Sixth, the thick agriculture and mulberry, that is, pay attention to the production of agriculture and mulberry. It is suggested that the imperial court issue an edict requiring the people of the local government to stress the benefits and disadvantages of poor farmland, build water conservancy, and greatly promote agricultural benefits, and formulate a set of systems for rewarding the people and evaluating officials for a long time.

The seventh is to repair armaments, that is, to rectify armaments. It was suggested that strong men should be recruited in the vicinity of the capital to serve as Gyeonggi guards to assist the regular army. These guards spend about three quarters of their time farming and one quarter of their time coaching battles every year, and they can save money on supplies by implementing this system. If this system of the Jingshi is successful, it will be imitated and implemented by all localities.

Eight rules of encouragement, that is, the extensive implementation of the court's benevolence and faithfulness. If anyone in charge of the yamen delays or violates the implementation of the amnesty, he shall be severely punished according to law. In addition, envoys were dispatched to various districts to inspect whether the various preferential policies that should be implemented were carried out. In this way, there will be no obstruction of the emperor's grace everywhere.

Nine heavy orders, that is, to take seriously and prudently issue court orders. The law was meant to be trusted by the people, but it was changed soon after it was promulgated, so the imperial court had to discuss what could be enforced for a long time, remove the cumbersome and redundant provisions, and rule that the decrees of the emperor and the state should be promulgated and promulgated. In this way, the orders of the imperial court were not changed frequently.

Ten were reduced from forced labor. Nowadays, the number of hukou has decreased, and the people's supply of the government has become more onerous. The counties with few household registrations should be reduced to towns, and the embassies and state courts of the state armies should be established and made into one house; The miscellaneous work sent by the official department can be sent to some state and town soldiers to undertake it, and all those who should not be responsible for public service can be sent back to the countryside. In this way, the people will no longer be troubled by heavy troubles.

These ten things that Zhao Zhen was dizzy to read, all of them were what he thought in his heart, but he couldn't find a good way to solve them, and now they were all covered by this article, how could Zhao Zhen not be shocked.

"It's amazing, it's amazing, there are such knowledgeable people among the students, I want to see who this is?"

Ouyang Xiu and the others looked at each other, it was rare for Zhao Zhen to lose his temper like this, but I don't know what was written on it, the emperor was so excited.

Zhao Zhen opened the note of the name of the test paper, and the words 'Luzhou Su Jin' jumped into his eyes at the signature, Zhao Zhen stroked his palm and laughed: "Good boy, it's really him, all Aiqing, listen to the high theory of Su Huiyuan with me, it's amazing, it's really amazing." ”

The ministers were stunned, the emperor is usually angry, and today he even said four great things, I don't know what shocking words are in Su Jin's article.

Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand to summon the chamberlain and said: "Huang Peisheng, you come and read this article to all the ministers, I and all the adults will appreciate the strange text, and listen to what are the shortcomings of my Great Song Dynasty in Su Jin's heart, and what needs to be changed." ”

Huang Peisheng bowed to the promise, took the test paper and held it in his hand, and read it aloud; Zhao Zhen sighed slightly, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and quietly looked at the reactions of the ministers.
