Compared with Yangzhai County, Changshe City is adjacent to Weishui in the east and water in the west, so there are also two wharves in the east and west, and the convenience of the circulation of its materials is above Yangzhai, and the manor next to the wharf in the west of the city is Guo Bin's private property. Although Guo Jia also stood in the greeting procession, Guo Bin was the last to introduce him. Family, he is the youngest, and he doesn't deserve Guo Bin's solemn introduction at the moment.

Naturally, the sugarcane on the ship was lifted and loaded with lifting equipment on the wharf and sent to the crushing workshop on the shore, while Guo Bin went to the depths of the manor surrounded by everyone.

In this manor, He Man was originally led by the army, but Guo Bin transferred him to Panyu through the flying pigeon a few days ago to escort the early construction project on the Xiangshan Wharf, so now the one who is sitting here has been changed to Chen Dao. Changshe City is located on the main traffic route, the north and south merchants are mixed, in order to maintain stability and ensure a good trading order, it is necessary to deploy heavy troops to guard here. Now that He Man is leading his army south, Chen Zhi will move to Changshe with his recruits. Anyway, they are all soldiers, and letting them be stationed in batches to maintain law and order can be regarded as military training.

Knowing that Guo Bin would lead the fleet to land from Changshe, Chen Zhi naturally arranged a meal to catch the wind, and waited for the subordinate officials in the Yingchuan County Guard Mansion to greet Guo Bin.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Guo Bin said: "What are the recent trends in Beijing?" "I have been to Jiaozhou for nearly two months, although it is not a news cut-off, it is always not cheap to want to get through the news, so the first thing Guo Bin did after coming back was to quickly grasp the latest news in Beijing. Throughout the ages, as long as you are an official, if you don't care about grasping the political trends of the upper echelons, how can you do it for a long time? No matter how noble and romantic you are, as long as you enter the officialdom, you have to be like this. Therefore, Guo Bin's move is also reasonable.

I only listened to Xi Zhicai and said: "My lord, according to the news in Beijing, the Son of Heaven ordered someone to build a Wanjin Hall in the West Garden, and moved the state property and money hidden by Si Nong into the hall for private storage. ”

Hearing this, Guo Bin put the wine in his hand on the table, and was extremely speechless for Liu Hong, the son of heaven. The so-called Si Nong, also known as the Great Si Nong, is roughly equivalent to the finance minister of later generations. The state financial money collected by Si Nong refers to the state's taxes, and the Wanjin Hall built by Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, is roughly the inner treasury where the Son of Heaven stores his private property.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, most of the taxes collected by Dasi Nong are used for various financial expenditures of the state. This expenditure mainly includes the maintenance of soldiers by the imperial court; distribution of stipends to officials at all levels; In the event of a famine, food should be requisitioned to comfort the local victims; In case of floods, embankments should be built; If there is a war, the money and food from the treasury are required to supply the troops.

The so-called inner treasury is mainly the private property of the Son of Heaven, and its source is mainly the royal property and manors all over the place. The distribution of the goods in the inner treasury was mainly for the daily consumption of the royal family. Whoever the Son of Heaven wants to reward something, this money comes from the inner treasury.

It's just that although there is a difference between this inner treasury and Sinong's treasury, you Liu Hong are the son of heaven! The so-called world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, you are a rich man from all over the world, why do you still do such a stupid thing? You have the final say in the whole world, and it's not up to you to decide how to spend the money in the treasury?

However, Guo Bin roughly thought of the reason as soon as his mind turned.

This son of heaven, Liu Hong, is not the biological son of Emperor Huan, but the heir to the throne selected by his cousin Dou after the death of Emperor Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty. Since he was not cultivated as a crown prince since he was a child, although he is intelligent, his instruments and pattern are always not very admirable. It is no wonder that Liu Hong was born in Hejian Kingdom, Jizhou (now Shenzhou, Hebei) and was the great-great-grandson of Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty. When his father Liu Chang died early, he inherited the title of Marquis of Confession.

It stands to reason that if there were no accidents, Liu Hong would have been his pavilion marquis in Hejian Country for the rest of his life. Although he is indeed a royal nobleman, the blood relationship with the Son of Heaven is far from the same after a few lifetimes, and there are many royal relatives like him in the world. That's the Pavilion Marquis, which is lower than Guo Bin's current title of the Marquis of Yangzhai County, just looking at this title, you can know how far Liu Hong is from the Son of Heaven. However, the Empress Dowager Dou chose him as the successor of the Son of Heaven, and it was this opportunity that made his life experience change extraordinarily.

may be the opportunity of his childhood, which makes Liu Hong have an extraordinary attachment to money even if he is a son of heaven. But love money is love money, and now this thing seems to be petty. The dignified Son of Heaven actually put on a miser's appearance, how can he make the scholars get used to it?

Guo Bin glanced at Xun Yu, only to see him hanging his head and his face full of disappointment, and he was obviously very unaccustomed to this matter.

Only after listening to the drama did he continue: "Cui Lie, a famous scholar in Youzhou, through Mrs. Cheng, the mother of the Son of Heaven, won the position of Situ with five million yuan. ”

Guo Bin listened, slammed the cup in his hand on several cases, let out a long sigh, and said with a face: "The road is long, I will go up and down and seek." ”

The so-called selling official and mantle are divided into two parts, namely the selling official and the mantle. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to raise military expenses, the imperial court came up with a bad idea of selling the title, and then this policy was intermittent, and it was even more appalling when it came to the second emperor of Huan Ling. At the beginning, the imperial court only sold titles, but now even the chief officials who rule the places can be sold at a clear price.

Because of the influence of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the central government of the Han Dynasty realized that the feudal system during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was very easy to create separatist forces, which was not conducive to maintaining the authority of the central government and the stability of the world, so the power of the feudal state was gradually compressed. In the end, Emperor Suihe of the Han Dynasty was restructured in the first year of the system, and the princes and kings were only allowed to eat their own taxes and taxes, and were not allowed to pre-empt national politics. The princes and kings with the same surname are still like this, and the princes are only more so. Therefore, although selling titles is not good, it is just a matter of reputation and face, but it will not ruin national politics.

However, the selling of official positions is different, and the power of officials who have the administrative, judicial, and financial power in one place is very important. Even if it is a small county order, it is also called Bailihou! Once this official position is bought, then the official who buys it will naturally pursue an investment income! Therefore, it is only natural that they should work hard to loot the people's wealth while in office.

They don't dare to mess with the wealthy families entrenched in the local area, but the common people are fine! Therefore, these officials who want to pat their butts and leave when they want to make a handful of money can naturally do any bad thing!

However, the people of the world deeply hate the traitor, and although they do not deny that there is a factor of worrying about the country and the people, what is more important is that it blocks the way for scholars to enter the ranks. You must know that the reason why scholars want to come out to be officials is not to pursue fame and fortune. After all, there are a few people who are rich in the family and don't care about money, but now the imperial court even has to pinch their noses and hand over the so-called "palace repair money" even for normal official appointments. The so-called "money for repairing palaces" is "money for buying officials," but it is just a nice-sounding way of saying it. It not only blocks the path for the people of the lower classes to rise, but also how can it not make people hate it?

It's just that it's a little better, although many official positions are clearly marked, there are still a few people who really buy them, after all, everyone wants a face! Moreover, lower-level officials bought it with money, and the wealthy did not look at it. But this Situ bought by Cui Lie is one of the three princes, and he is in a high position.

The so-called Situ, one of the six kings in the Zhou Dynasty, was called the local official Situ, who was in charge of the country's land and the education of the people. In the second year of Emperor Ai's first life, he changed the prime minister to Da Situ, and the three dukes were tied with Da Sima and Da Sikong, and was renamed Situ in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In other words, at this time, Situ was the real prime minister, the main assistant of the Son of Heaven, and his status was respected. But it was such an important position that went through the back door through the Son of Heaven's Fu Mu and gave Situ, who was originally clearly priced at 10 million yuan, a 50% discount. The so-called "Fu mother" refers to the elderly woman who was responsible for tutoring and caring for the children of the nobility in ancient times, which is roughly similar to the role of a wet nurse and a nanny.

Although Cui Lie is a famous person in Youzhou, he may also have the talent to serve as the prime minister, but once there is a precedent for this kind of thing, how can people in the future be organized? Besides, you became a Situ through this method, doesn't this block the way of the latecomers? Therefore, public opinion was in an uproar for a while, and the "copper smell" also came from this. The so-called "Therefore, Dongyuan accumulates money from selling officials, and Cui Lie has a copper smell." ”

Hearing Guo Bin quote the poem in "Lisao", everyone was silent, Xun Yu clenched his fists tightly, and his face flushed, obviously he already knew the news.

Seeing this, Guo Bin sighed unconsciously in his heart. Among the civil and military forces under him, Xun Yu's mind is the most complicated, and now Guo Bin can be regarded as touching his pulse in combination with the understanding of Xun Yu in later generations. It can be said that Xun Yu is a collection of contradictions, he is very capable, he does have Wang Zuozhicai, but at the same time, he is also an idealist. It is said that anyone who is in the officialdom is thriving, and when he comes to his role, he is probably smooth-tempered, and the unspoken rules of officialdom are called a clear door, and he should also know the dirt and dirt in politics. However, he knew that Cao Wei would sooner or later usurp the Han Dynasty and establish himself, and he would also assist Cao Cao to unify the north; He knew that the mud of the Eastern Han Dynasty could not support the wall, but he had to lose his life at a critical moment in order to protect the luck of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In Guo Bin's view, the reason why Cao Cao never dared to take the step of forcing the palace to make Zen let him in his life was that Xun Lingjun's death played a great role.

Then let's analyze Xun Yu's original actions, he was determined to help Cao Wei unify the north, in order to maintain the stability of the north and make the people suffer less. Therefore, although he knew that the Cao family was bound to usurp the Han, he had to help him for the sake of the people. Although he knew that the mud of the Han Dynasty could not support the wall, he still wanted to die for the sake of the little faith in his heart, and his adherence to his long-formed world view and values, the so-called loyalty to the monarch and patriotism.

After figuring out this section, Guo Bin couldn't help but feel admiration for him from the bottom of his heart. In history, Xun Yu died of depression at the age of fifty (he committed suicide by persuasion), even in the ancient era when the average life expectancy was generally not high, fifty years old is still a strong year for a politician. Xun Yu was Cao Cao's chief strategist and hero in unifying the north, and was only jealous of Cao Cao's entry into the Duke of Wei. Guo Bin believes that with his political wisdom, it is impossible not to know the consequences of doing so, and he did.

Didn't he know what it meant to assist Cao Cao to ascend to the throne? With his past merits and the strength of the Yingchuan Xun family, if one person is properly above 10,000 people, it must be the general status of Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty. But he didn't covet this dragon merit, a fifty-year-old middle-aged man gave up the career he had fought for all his life for the sake of the "so-called" ideal. To say that he is politically experienced does not reflect it at all, and to say that he is politically naïve does not seem to be appropriate.

Guo Bin thought about it, and there are probably only four words that are the most appropriate-

The country is unparalleled.
