Chapter 927: Capable County Lieutenant

Rebellion is not a trivial matter, even if you don't participate in it personally, once you find out, it will be a fatal thing, Liu Xin has a beard, and he used to be a deputy minister, how can he do such a thing.

He instinctively objected, but the old man Qian smiled and said: "Liu Xianggong, you are too worried, the Japanese are drifting on the sea, there is no way to make a living, robberies happen from time to time, so why make a big fuss!" ”

"No way!"

Liu Xin shook his head resolutely, "You don't know how powerful Wang Ning'an is, we sent Wang Qi over, but as a result, he copied Donglin and banned all the academies, this kid has gone crazy, let him smell a little wind, a few of us, and the major families, no one can be better!" ”

"Hahaha, Liu Xianggong, then don't let him know!" Old man Qian said with a smile: "The widow is embarrassed, and he can do things by giving some money, and the two sides don't understand each other, how can he leak the news?" ”

Liu Xin still hesitated, "What should I do if the Japanese wantonly kill and disobey the control?" ”

Old man Qian said: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent to all things as dogs, Liu Xianggong, at this time, are you still hesitating?" Zheng Xia stood up suddenly, "That's right, Wang Ning'an wants to destroy my Taoism, his heart can be punished, only by fighting to the death, can he have a chance of winning, using the Japanese to make trouble, it is a good move, no matter what the effect is, it doesn't hurt to try it first!" ”

The other two people also nodded, four to one, and Liu Xin was also powerless to return to the sky, so he could only nod...... can come out of the secret room, Liu Xin's whole body is soaked with sweat.

Oh my God, what have I done here?

actually hired Japanese people to kill the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and one day, if they turn things up, they will be infamous for thousands of years, and they will not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives!

Alas!

Liu Xin really regretted dying, he shouldn't have been involved with these people, crazy, really crazy!

It's useless to regret it now, Liu Xin can only pray that things don't leak out, and Wang Ningan also has a mess that can't be cleaned up...... God, you must bless you!

What is Wang Ningan doing these days? In addition to arresting people everywhere and sealing down the academy, he also went to the people to take a walk, he wanted to see how the people were doing and what they really thought.

And it's easy to break a world, but it's difficult to build a world.

Wang Ning'an looked at Suzhou, Sizhou, Chuzhou, and also took a turn around Hongze Lake, in front of which is Chuzhou, which is the important place of the two Huai salt farms, and is also the destination of Wang Ning'an's trip.

During the break, Zhang Dian, Chen Shunzhi, and Wang Anli, who had been investigating the people, were all present.

"The people of Huainan are very bitter."

Wang Ning'an made it clear at the beginning, "The land of the two Huai is not fertile enough, coupled with the continuous flood and drought, the yield of farmland is only two-thirds of that of Hebei, and there are two things that can maintain the two Huai, the first is Caoyun, and the second is salt!" ”

Wang Anli said: "The prince can see clearly, and it is precisely because of this that the imperial court repairs roads, the Cao gang spreads rumors, and the people's wives are panicked, so there will be a chaotic situation of strike...... Speaking of which, the people are also pitiful! There is gold coming and going in the canal every day, but the coolies can only earn three catties of rice at most for a day, barely supporting their families...... The real interests of the canal have been taken away by officials, Cao Gang, wealthy merchants, layer by layer, all taken away, I have walked in Yangzhou and other places, the most luxurious buildings are not yamen, but temples and academies, merchants with money, often give tens of thousands of guan to the temple, hundreds of thousands of guan, repair brilliant, jewelry, all with money piled up. As for the academy, it spared no expense, to put it mildly, I looked at these places, and there was only one thought in my heart, that is, rebellion! ”

Wang Anli was full of grief and indignation, his words made Wang Ningan can't help but ponder, they all said that there is no widowhood but unevenness, in fact, any dynasty, even at the end of the period, is ten times richer, a hundred times richer than at the beginning of the founding of the country!

But why did such a rich country perish?

The reason is very simple, that is, the gap between the rich and the poor, the rich have countless servants, eat and wear, and enjoy excessively, while the poor, the last bit of land is deprived, bear heavy taxes and servitude, and struggle on the verge of death, the country can no longer maintain justice and fairness, and it has lost its moral binding force.

"The problem of Caoyun must be solved, what a mess of the hall, one can not stay, after sorting, we must set up a Caoyun company, turn coolies into regular employees, give them reasonable remuneration, but also allocate some dividends, set up schools, so that the children of workers can study and change, change their fate. In addition, the monopoly system of salt and iron will also be abolished, and I will persuade Your Majesty to allow the free trade of salt, so that the two Huai can have one more source of wealth...... Relying on these two blocks, the school should be fully built within three years, and the enrollment rate of male and female students should reach more than 70 percent! ”

Chen Shunzhi grinned, "Many people still believe that women are virtuous if they are not talented, and the enrollment rate of female students in various places is far lower than that of male students, if you want to reach an average of seventy percent, male students must be enrolled at least ninety percent, it seems that it is not easy!" ”

Wang Ningan smiled: "If it's easy, you still need to say it!" In the future, all localities must draw up development plans, and they will be comprehensive development plans, and we must have a clear idea of the implementation of the plans according to the evaluation officials. ”

Referring to the examination and evaluation officials, Zhang Dian became interested.

"Master, I heard that you have a new suggestion for the imperial court?"

"Hmm!" Wang Ning'an bowed, "I suggest that Your Majesty separate the personnel power from the procuratorial power, and set up a Metropolitan Procuratorate in the imperial court, which is under the jurisdiction of the deputy minister, responsible for supervising the implementation of the imperial court decrees, supervising the corruption of hundreds of officials, and for any cases of violations, especially large-scale construction projects, we must have professional supervision capabilities." ”

What Wang Ningan talked about happened to be the content of the opponent's attack this time.

Wang Ningan is not a person who avoids contradictions, there are drawbacks in land acquisition, and there are loopholes in the assessment of officials, so they cannot but solve them.

In the past, supervision relied on the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Yuan, which, needless to say, was mainly aimed at the emperor, but as for the Imperial Historical Observatory, it was responsible for supervising hundreds of officials and picketing impeachment.

It's just that the Imperial History Observatory is full of clear streams, and the professionalism is not enough, and it often becomes a tool for party struggle, and it has deviated more and more from its own duties.

Wang Ningan also thought about it, but the supervision system of the Great Song Dynasty was still too weak.

He followed the example of the Ming Dynasty and set up the Imperial Court to supervise the six yamen, as well as the various roads, prefectures, prefectures, and counties...... With the construction of the two railways, there will be countless large projects in the future, and there will inevitably be drawbacks, and a special agency is urgently needed to keep an eye on them.

As for the candidate for the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Wang Ningan is very inclined to Wang Anshi, and I have to say that this time the incident made Wang Ningan completely relieved Wang Anshi.

In any case, the prime minister is a gentleman who is dedicated to the country, and the rest of the princes are completely different, and giving him the all-important Metropolitan Procuratorate will not become a tool to crack down on dissidents, but can promote major construction and let the Great Song Dynasty enter the fast lane of development.

"Zihou, why are you mentioning this? Do you want to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate? ”

"No, no, no!" Zhang Duan waved his hand again and again, "Master, I'm still willing to do things, and I still leave the matter of staring at people to others." ”

Zhang Dian paused for a while, and then said: "Let the prince evaluate the hundred officials, it will always be much fairer than Lu Gong's book, and he will not wronged good people and suppress capable officials!" ”

Between Zhang Dan's words, he was very emotional, as if he meant something, Wang Ning'an sank his face, "Zihou, don't spit it out, who are you fighting for, say it!" ”

Zhang Dian smiled embarrassedly, "Since the master asked, I will tell the truth, we arrived in Yancheng in front, and the county lieutenant there is called Zhang Qi - it is my clan brother!" ”

Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder Zhang Dian was reluctant to say it, he and the Zhang family are always awkward, to put it bluntly, it is arrogant!

This Zhang Qi is eight years older than Zhang Dian, and he is the nephew of the old minister Zhang Dexiang, who has been sheltered early and has an official position.

The Zhang family has high expectations for him, but he has participated in the imperial examination twice in a row, all of which have failed, and when he participated for the third time, Zhang Heng was selected, and Zhang Heng, who was a generation lower than him, was also admitted.

At this moment, it made Zhang Ji extremely embarrassed.

He gritted his teeth and participated in it twice, but he failed the list five times in a row, and he was stunned from being a young man to being middle-aged, becoming a greasy uncle, and there was no junior high.

Helpless, he could only sign up for the Ministry of Officials, relying on his background to seek a petty official.

However, over the years, Wang Ningan has continued to rectify the rule of officials, and has constantly suppressed and cleaned up the officials who have entered the office, and Zhang Kai can only get a county lieutenant who is too small to be smaller.

It makes sense for Zhang Dian to look down on the Zhang family, when it comes to exams and being an official, he is the most powerful, and the rest are not worth mentioning.

As it turned out, Zhang Dian was blind.

Although this Zhang Qi can't pass the exam and is not a big official, but for a person with real skills, as long as he has a small stage, he can shine!

After Zhang Qi took office, in view of the rampant phenomenon of piracy, he reorganized his men and horses, led the militia, went to sea three times in a row, counterattacked the pirates, and killed more than 400 thieves entrenched on the island.

Later, Zhang Kai promoted reclamation, diverted fresh water to irrigate saline-alkali land, and opened up 200,000 acres of fertile land, which he distributed to the fishermen who were harassed by pirates and let them cultivate it for free.

In addition, Zhang Kai also negotiated with several salt merchants, asking them to be treated as salt cookers.

In less than two years, Zhang Kai has done a good job, and the people praise each other, you can not know the county commander, but you can't know the second county captain!

is such a person, in this evaluation, was actually ranked third.

The reason is also very strange, because all the annual taxes have been paid, and a year has been paid...... The people in the Ministry of Officials looked at it, and the taxes in Yancheng over the years were completed, only fifty percent, at most sixty percent, and you paid them all, what does that mean?

Of course, it is to exploit excessively and loot the people.

Therefore, Zhang Kai's evaluation has a big "cool", which is not to praise him, but to say that he is a cool official and must be dismissed!

Zhang Dian was angry, "Master, you say, is there still a heavenly reason in this?" ”

Wang Ning'an was surprised, "Hearing you say this, I want to meet this cousin of yours!" ”
