Chapter 693: Fishing in the Dry River

Yang Chong smiled disapprenousively: "Isn't that a good thing, if these people all wear a pair of pants, the person who can't sleep is me." Fight the world immediately, rule the world immediately, there will be no big mess anyway, it's not bad to let them get angry one by one, it's difficult to fight the country, and it's even more difficult to defend the country. ”

Immediately fight the world, and rule the world immediately, this is Lu Jia's words. After Liu Bang won the world, Lu Jia often quoted Confucian classics such as "Book of Songs" and "Book of Shang" in front of Liu Bang, and Liu Bang hated and scolded: "I will win the world immediately, what is the use of poetry and books!" Lu Jia retorted: "If you get the world right away, how can you govern it right away!" Lu Jia wrote twelve essays, each of which was highly praised by Liu Bang, calling his book a "new language".

Regardless of whether Jiang Duo and the others did it right or wrong this time, but at the very least, when there are contradictions, they can be put on the table, and Du Yan and Wei Zheng can stick to their bottom line, which is enough, not everyone can be as gentle as jade like Fang Xuanling. Yuan Raider is more familiar with these allusions than Yang Chong, it is rare to see Yang Chong's serious appearance, Yuan Raider was about to make fun of two more sentences, Tian Qi walked in and reported: "Meng Rang has arrived." ”

Yang Chong asked, and it didn't take long for Meng Rang to follow Tianqi in high spirits and walk in, Meng Rang's sideburns were already white, but his body was still parked like a gun; Yang Chong asked people to serve tea and said: "Brother Meng, I'm afraid I have to move a position for you, Wang Bo can't come back from Liaodong for a while, and Shandong needs someone to sit in the town and develop industry." ”

Meng Rang was overjoyed, as a native of Shandong, when Meng Rang rebelled from Qi County, he hoped that the people of Shandong would live a prosperous life, after Yang Chong pacified the world, he saw the changes in Xiangzhou, Jiangdu and Yuhang, and had long been looking forward to the development of Shandong; If you go back by yourself, you will glorify your ancestors. Meng Rang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the prince is at ease, the lower officials will obey the arrangement, and this time when he returns to Shandong, it can be regarded as returning to his hometown." ”

Meng Rang's mentality is very correct, Yang Chong calls himself "Brother Meng" polite, if he takes it seriously, he is really a fool. Yang Chong said calmly: "I have discussed with Zhang Jin and Yuwen Rutong, you serve as the governor of Qingzhou, responsible for the government's planning in Beihai and other counties, Wei Ting has established Dengzhou in Wendeng County, a city integrating seaport and commerce, similar to Huating, shipbuilding, salt industry, and tuntian, in addition to farming, the local people are mainly bezoars, reed mats, and linen, and you must cooperate with each other to turn Dengzhou into the base camp of the sailors." ”

Meng Rang was familiar with the Wendeng area, knew that what Yang Chong said was right, discussed some details and left; Yuan Xianren understood that Meng Rang's transfer had vacated the position of a soldier in the army, which could be arranged for Yu Qinming to save Jiang Duo's face, and Yang Chong reprimanded Jiang Duo again, and no one had anything to say. As for the matter of Yushan, at most, Yu Shitai muttered a few times, if he really wants to offend the Wei family and the Yuan family, those Yu Shi really don't have the guts.

Yuan raider suddenly had a strange thought, could Wei Zheng's impeachment be deliberately instigated by Yang Chong, just to ring the alarm for a few families, if so, Yang Chong and Wei Zheng would be bad enough. never thought that Yang Chong's method of dealing with Wei Zheng was to overcome rigidity with softness, and suggested that the political affairs hall should make Wei Zheng the county prince of Wuzhong, which made people feel that Wei Zheng was to make a name for himself; Yang Wang was very cooperative and approved Yang Chong's suggestion at one time, and Wei Zheng had no choice but to write to ask Wei Yunqi to come back, go to Henan by himself, and be with Yang Chong.

Wei Zheng went to Luoyang to meet Yang Chong and said: "The prince has killed the lower officials miserably. ”

Yang Chong smiled and said: "If you want to leave a name in history, you have to keep an eye on me, another day I will make a parrot to play, when you come, I am afraid that you will advise and suffocate the parrot in your sleeve, Xue Deyin, you must record it in the book." ”

This is a fact that Li Shimin encountered in another time and space, Yang Chong said it like a cold joke at the moment, don't say that Yuwen Rutong shook his head, it was Wei Zheng himself, he couldn't cry or laugh. Yang Chong is such a surprising person, even the way of reminding Wei Zheng is so unique, Wei Zheng whispered: "Thank you for the teachings of the prince, but I don't know how the prince plans to govern the officials?" ”

Yang Chong's eyelids jumped, and a politician in later generations once said: "A person, a family, a group, a place, and even a country, many units have not been able to jump out of the dominance of this cyclical rate." At the beginning of Dafan's concentration, there was no one who did not care, and no one did not work hard, maybe it was difficult and difficult at that time, and he could only find a life from ten thousand deaths. Now that the environment has gradually improved, the spirit has gradually let go. ”

Isn't this the case in Chang'an, the Turks and Goguryeo have not yet been destroyed, and Lingnan is still in a state of secession, so they began to look to the future one by one and build their own teams in the DPRK. It is no wonder that in order to prevent the dictatorship of six types of people, including civil ministers, military generals, empresses, foreign relatives, clansmen, and eunuchs, the later Song Dynasty formulated a set of various systems such as centralized political power, military power, financial power, and judicial power.

Yang Chong faced Wei Zheng's expectant gaze and said thoughtfully: "I'm not good at these, but I think the division of places can be differentiated, counties, prefectures, armies, and supervisors each perform their duties, the general area is the county, the more special area is the state, and the army is a military town or key point; It is supervised in some major industrial, mining, animal husbandry and salt and other important material asset areas. As for the officials, they should be imprisoned without injustice, set up agricultural and mulberry water conservancy, and provide relief to the poor and the poor. On the contrary, it is taxation, which lies in reasonableness, not in drying up and fishing. ”

Wei Zheng Daxi said: "What the king of Yue has seen is that he can be classified and formulated rules and regulations, and only then can he manage them meticulously and properly. ”

Yuwen Rutong shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, acting according to laws and regulations, there is a large demand for professionals, and it is easy to cause the local grassroots political power to be incomplete, and once the local officials are accommodated, it will cause the deterioration of the officials, and the dilemma of collusion with the local nobles, making the local administration incompetent." In this way, merging the number of counties and ensuring the soundness of each county government is the first thing to do; The sound laws and regulations have become the second thing, and it may not be possible to gather the number of people who understand the law within ten years. ”

When Wei Zheng heard this, he pondered for a long time, what Yuwen Rutong said was the real truth, since there are laws and regulations, if things can't be done, there are naturally commonly used laws and regulations to punish them, and there is no way for the officials to do many things; In addition, when there are many laws and regulations, distorting the legal principles will occur from time to time, which is another level of distress.

Yang Chong said with a smile: "There is nothing perfect in the world, as long as it is better than now, let the majority of the people live well, and when we die, no one will say that we are a vegetarian meal and do nothing." As long as you do it yourself, what does it matter if the result is true, when the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is no place for inaction. There is no absolute right or wrong in the world, and the purpose of hard work makes a person's choice more correct. ”
