Chapter 1604 In full swing
After Li Zhi fully understood Han Yi's plan, he immediately issued an edict to express his regret for the Sanmenshan accident, and emphasized that the imperial court would further reduce the burden of Caoyun on the people and avoid similar accidents from happening again, but he did not say that he would directly abolish Caoyun, which was still leaving room for himself. In addition, there is the issue of compensation, the imperial court will exempt the family from taxes for five years, and will also give a certain pension, the specific amount is not detailed, this Li Zhi is also handed over to Han Yi to deal with.
No matter how much the pension in ancient times was, it was almost none, and if it died, it would be dead, and this time it was also suggested by Han Yi, and because of the "generous" donations of the cardinal ministers and Li Feng and others, this time the pension is destined to be much more than before.
Of course, the vast majority of the people are not concerned about pensions, which has nothing to do with them, but the battle of Caoyun, which is related to the people of the world, and the people are also looking forward to how the imperial court will reform and how to further reduce the suffering of the people's labor.
In any case, after Li Zhi's edict continues, it is the greatest affirmation of Han Yi, because at present, except for Han Yi's plan, no one has proposed a better way to reduce the burden of Cao Yun on the people.
And the reason why Han Yi's plan passed so smoothly and encountered few obstacles is because this plan is indeed very beneficial to both the highest and lowest classes.
But then again, if you are not completely sure, Han Yi will endure it, he will not force something, this is also the professionalism of Lao Qian, try not to force it, because when you want to strive for more benefits on the basis of the original, then the risk will increase, which is not cost-effective. In fact, there are many things that he can strive for, but because he is not very sure, he is not willing to put too much effort into it, he tries to only strive for the interests within his plan, and he generally does not think much about anything else.
If it weren't for such a big accident in Sanmen Mountain, he wouldn't have done it, and now that such a big accident has happened, he knows that Li Zhi has to give the people an explanation, how can he make some gestures, then this is an opportunity.
According to the law of conservation of interests, since the top ruling class as well as the lowest class profit from this, the middle class must be the one who suffers.
Those who can benefit from Cao Yun are generally the middle class, and the emperor's interests in it are constant, not X, because the emperor wants so much, you have to give it, this can't be changed. But the emperor who operated from it was not the prime minister, nor the prime minister, but the local officials, and the prefectures and counties where the transportation was well reached, and the officials had a much better life.
Luoyang is the economic center of Datang and the operation center of Caoyun, so the three giants of Luozhou are undoubtedly the biggest victims of this reform.
Li Feng, Quan Huaien, and Wang Dali regretted their death, they just wanted to borrow Shilin to exert some pressure on Han Yi, so that Han Yi could understand the truth that the strong dragon does not suppress the snake, but they didn't expect that this fox was not defeated, but caused a commotion, and now Shilin is still arguing about this matter, no one pays attention to what Cao Yun do, Cao Yun is for Shi Lin, it is all something that inferior people do, and there is no difference between merchants and labor in their eyes.
Moreover, the three of them originally thought that it was impossible for Han Yi to fulfill his promise, but they didn't expect that Han Yi really had to come up with a complete set of plans, and got the support of the emperor and the important ministers.
If you want to say how important this matter of luck is for Li Yifu and Du Zhenglun, the two Zhongshu Ling, I can't really talk about it, because in their opinion, you will transport the grain to Chang'an, just don't let me go hungry, as for how to do it, it has nothing to do with them, and they have never taken care of it, this has always been the matter of the Zhou Ji Agency, how could they offend Han Yi at such a critical juncture because of the matter of Cao Yun, in case Han Yi is biased towards the other party, it will be more than worth the loss.
"I really didn't expect Han Yi to really be able to come up with a solution, how can this be good?" Li Feng was frowning at this time, and couldn't help but look at Wang Dali and Quan Huaien.
Quan Huaien snorted: "Don't be too happy for him, it's still unknown whether this method will be feasible." β
Wang Dali said: "Let's not say whether this method is feasible, but the problem is that His Majesty and Zhongshu have made them support, even if it is not feasible, then we have to wait until three years later to make a final conclusion, after these three years, what will be the situation, who can guess for sure." β
Li Feng sighed lightly and said, "Since Your Majesty supports it, then let's forget it, and stop fighting on this matter." β
"How can this work?"
Quan Huaien said: "The matter of Cao Yun is only secondary, the key is that he Han Yi deceived people too much, and when he came to Luoyang, he didn't even give us half a thin face, if we let him do anything wrong in Luoyang, then who will take us in the eyes in the future." β
Li Feng asked again: "Then what do you say?" β
Quan Huaien groaned slightly, and said: "This matter is man-made, no matter how cunning he is Han Yi, but such a big thing, he can't complete it alone, and abolishing Cao Yun is not something that can be done overnight, and it is not only our interests that are harmed, but also the interests of many people, as long as we poke out this news and let Cao Yun officials know Han Yi's true purpose, in this way, they will not cooperate with Han Yi, then, Han Yi will face a dilemma, either abolish Cao Yun immediately, or --- hehe, His changes could not be carried out. β
Wang Dali raised his hand and said, "If you do this, you are undoubtedly helping Han Yi." β
Quan Huaien was surprised: "How do you say this? β
Wang Dali said: "If this news comes out, the people of the world will support Han Yi, even if the officials of other states and counties want to oppose it, it will be useless, because whether Cao Yun is feasible or not, the key lies in the people, if Cao Yun is abolished, the people will naturally be exempt from the battle of Cao Yun, and the people will naturally support Han Yi, if the people all support Han Yi, how dare those local officials go against the emperor's orders and go against the people's will." β
Li Fengzhi nodded and said, "The big gift is reasonable." β
Quan Huaien said angrily: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, can we just watch Han Yi pee on our heads." β
Wang Dali frowned and groaned, and said, "Now it seems that it is very difficult to stop Han Yi, at least for now. But no matter how he Han Yi changes, it can't change our status in Luoyang, whether it's Cao Yun or businessmen, as long as they pass through us, then they must be controlled by us, I suggest that instead of trying to find a way to stop Han Yi, it is better to think about how we can play our role in it, so as to increase our Luoyang's status in the country. β
Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "In Han Yi's plan, the warehouse is still under the control of the imperial court, so as long as we master the warehouse in Luoyang and build it into a large warehouse concentration in the country, then our Luoyang's status will not decrease but increase, as long as Luoyang's status is improved, then our status will naturally rise." β
Quan Huaien sat down, calmed down, thought for a while, and said: "You are right, we lost before, we lost before, we were too obsessed with the fighting spirit with Han Yi, and did not consider the whole thing, and Han Yi is just the opposite of us, he used the donation to involve us in it, and at the same time kept himself out of the matter." β
Wang Dali said: "And this matter is beneficial to the people, we can't let Han Yi steal the hearts of the people of Luoyang, so we have to try our best to win the rights and interests of the people of Luoyang in this matter, so that our position can be more stable." β
Quan Huaien laughed and said: "Great gift, you are still thoughtful." β
It can be seen that they are qualified bureaucrats, because they are just in the middle, they have real power in their hands, but they have no decision-making power, they can only pursue the strategy of having policies and countermeasures, and looking for their own interests in policies, rather than refusing to implement them.
Fortunately, they think so, otherwise, they will die miserably, not to mention the people, Han Yi didn't even plan to leave those Cao Yun officials to them, if they want to oppose it, or make a hindrance from it, they will become the commander of the light pole, an official who is not popular with the people and the king, and it is only a matter of minutes before he goes to the field.
Why Han Yi chose to arrange the whole plan in Luoyang, instead of going back to Chang'an, of course, not entirely because Li Zhi was in Luoyang, but also because Luoyang was the center of Caoyun, where he had all the information he needed, including talents, and his plan was based on this.
After getting Li Zhi's support, Han Yi immediately got up in full swing, you know, he only has three years, and he must see results in three years, don't look at Li Zhi's support now, but the ruling class has little patience, and the situation in the court is also changing rapidly, Han Yi must seize this opportunity.
Today, the Cao Yun officials selected by Han Yi rushed to Han Yi's manor from all directions, of course, these Cao Yun officials are mainly from Luoyang, Bianzhou, and Chang'an, with a total of 100 people, but they are not from these three places, some of them are on a mission, escorting food here, and they have no time to go back.
"See Han Shangshu for humble duties."
"Excuse me!"
Han Yi nodded lightly, his gaze swept over their faces, and found that their faces were more or less uneasy, and said: "I am a dignified household secretary, and you are just a small grain official who doesn't know what to call it, let me ask you, if I want to rectify you, do you still need to come forward in person?" β
The Tang Dynasty Caoyun officials did not have official titles, and the general title was Xing Boss and the like, and there were only two officials in the Zhou Dynasty, one order, one Cheng, and the rest were all officials.
Some shook their heads in resignation.
"In that case, why are you so worried?" Han Yi smiled and said, "I came to you, of course, there is a good thing to cheapen you, otherwise, then I can't come forward in person." β
After listening to this, these people felt that what Han Yi said was quite reasonable, the gap between them was too big, if Han Yi wanted to punish them, did he still need to call them to his manor, isn't this a knife for killing chickens, I can't help but think secretly, is there really a good thing to cheapen me. Thinking of this, they gradually relaxed, and there was still some faint expectation in their hearts.
Yan Liben on the side saw Han Yi's two words, which eliminated these people's panic about Han Yi, and Han Yi just told them a very real problem.
Han Yi swept away again, carrying his hands behind his back, walking slowly, and said with a smile as he walked: "To put it nicely, you are Caoyun officials, to put it mildly, you are just an errand runner, except for the court to send you money, you are not much different from those laborers." I ask you if you want to be a real official. β
Who wouldn't want that!
The men giggled.
"You are so old, you still have to be so cheeky. Say it, think about it or not. β
"Yes!"
Everyone immediately said in unison.
"Good!"
Han Yi said: "Now there is an opportunity in front of you, some of you were originally in Luoyang, I believe you also know something about this matter, the imperial court intends to reduce the burden of the people and reduce labor, so it intends to hand over some grain to merchants to escort, that is to say, in the future, the imperial court will not need so many grain personnel, you are facing unemployment, but this 'you' does not mean that you are standing here for your people."
As the saying goes, every hard work is a harvest, you grain bearers, some of you are diligent and diligent in doing things for the court, while some are sloppy, who do they think will care about them? However, now they have to pay the price for their usual sloppiness and irresponsibility, and I can tell you that people like that will be unemployed, and the court will not want them anymore. As for your words, I have seen your food records, and they are all very good, so I intend to promote them to you. β
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.
Han Yi said: "Although the grain is handed over to the merchants to escort, the imperial court must also send people to supervise it, docks, rivers, warehouses, and so on. And you will be my first choice. β
This is definitely a promotion, what did they do before, didn't they come in the wind, go in the water, in the sun and rain, it is rare to go home once a year, if it is just supervision, it is obviously much easier, and the power in their hands is much greater.
"Appreciated by Han Shangshu, we will do our best."
Everyone replied in unison with joy.
Han Yi smiled: "Don't be happy too early, I just said that the priority candidate, but it depends on whether you have real talent and learning." β
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look frightened, I am a grain bet, how can I have any real talent!
I heard Han Yi say: "But don't worry too much, what I'm talking about is not reading and writing, but about the understanding of transportation, you are all from all states and counties across the country, I want to see if you are familiar with the rivers in your hometown, whether you are familiar with transportation, that's all." β
You said it earlier!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard it, they all had at least ten years of experience, and they were still in their hometowns, if they were not familiar with it, they really had to be dragged out and cut.
