Chapter 504: The Paster Makes a Move
Sister Hu's wedding naturally can't be compared with Zhang Shunqing, there is neither a phoenix crown nor a full house of guests, but the family has a meal together, gives Zhang Shunqing a cup of tea, and the ceremony is completed. Sister Hu doesn't care about ceremonies and other scenes, as long as she can be by Fan Jin's side, she is satisfied.
Zhang Shunqing and Fan Jin have been married for more than a month, and then they should cancel their vacation, and then wait for the officials to arrange the position. Fools know that it is impossible for Fan Jin to return to Shangyuan to be a county magistrate, even if he wants to go back, Ying Tianfu will not agree. The plague god who was finally sent away, no one wants to take it back. But in any case, the marriage recognized by the court is only the main room, and the concubine is not fake, Zhang Shunqing took advantage of Fan Jin's failure to cancel the leave, and completed the concubine matter, which can be regarded as taking care of the prime minister and Sister Hu.
Today is Sister Hu, and the next day is Xue Wu, just a month after passing the door, and when she was still in the stage of blending oil in honey, she asked her husband for two concubines in one go, this kind of behavior is enough to be called a model of Mrs. and a benchmark for a good wife and mother. However, Fan Jin knew in his heart that Zhang Shunqing's hand was still divided and disintegrated. Xue Wu has some relationship with her, and when the two of them practiced the Yi Jin Jing, they still had some intimate contact, although they had not yet reached the point of grinding the mirror, but they were only one step away. In Zhang Shunqing's opinion, Xue Wu can be regarded as half of his own people, at least he can be restrained.
Sister Hu is her childhood sweetheart, giving her a name is enough to block Youyou's mouth, so that no one can accuse Zhang Shunqing of being jealous. Liang Pandi and Zheng Chan don't even think about it, and they will definitely not be given a name. There are two people in front of Sister Hu and Xue Wu, and it can't be said that Zhang Shunqing is jealous. The ultimate goal is to create contradictions between several women and ensure that Zhang Shunqing has the power to himself.
It's not that Fan Jin can't speak, but it's obviously better for him to keep his mouth shut at this time. After all, he can't stay in this family for a lifetime, and overly defending Zheng Chan and Liang Pandi at this time is not necessarily a good thing for the two. Fortunately, Zheng Chan was a little ashamed of herself because of that dark past, and she felt that she was not worthy of the title, and Fan Jin promised to take her on a tour, so she was very happy, and she did not fight about the reputation. Her hole cards are still pressed on the child, as long as she has flesh and blood, Zhang Shunqing is not qualified to stand in the way, she has no children, and she is not tough as a concubine, and she may be pushed off at any time.
Liang Pandi has already realized it before, and he doesn't feel any grievances, if Zhang Shunqing gives her a name unusually, Liang Pandi will really be afraid. Although he should accompany his eldest sister tonight, Fan Jin still went to Liang Pandi's room first and hugged her to comfort her, Liang Pandi leaned on his arms and let him make love, but he was not allowed to really swordsman.
"Tonight is the day of the eldest sister, and I can't be happy with such an honest person as her. I'll talk about it when it's Zhang Shunqing's turn. She talked to me, and she was reasonable, and the meaning in her words was that if I had a name with you, it would not be good for you. If you have a child, it is even more of a crime, and if you have it, you have to send it to someone else's name. She probably thought that after hearing this, I would leave you by myself, saving her a lot of trouble, joke! Who am I robbing money, and I will be deceived by her in a few words? I just want to stay, compete with her for a man! ”
"But one yard is one yard, although I don't like her, but I admire her ability and life very much. The housekeeper of the Zhang family wanted her lame son to marry Ah Qiao, but Ah Qiao refused to let her find a reason to scold, bullied Ah Qiao as a blind man, and arranged her to do heavy work, just to squeeze her into submission. I beat the housekeeper's mother-in-law, I thought that Zhang Shunqing would protect her family, but I didn't expect that after she asked the reason, she directly drove the housekeeper's mother-in-law's family out of the house, and even returned the deed to them. With this hand, I admire her. Dealing with things fairly, being able to convince the public, managing accounts and managing the family business, is not comparable to us women. The Fan family is managed by her people, which is indeed better than ours. It's your blessing that you have found a good lady, no matter what she does to us, you have to be good to her. ”
Fan Jin nodded and did not speak. It goes without saying that Zhang Shunqing is a good housekeeper, but her attitude of treating everyone equally is actually her own hard work. Those Zhang family members are used to running rampant in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they don't regard the Fan family as the main family in their bones, even Fan Jin, many people also regard him as the one who has joined their own family. This attitude is not visible on the surface, but some details can still be felt.
Zhang Shunqing does not support the girls to regard them as sons-in-law, but they may not oppose some of their arrogant attitudes, especially the oppression of their own families, which may have been acquiesced by Zhang Shunqing. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Zhang Shunqing wants to establish authority at home, and he will definitely make adjustments to the last batch of family members, and most of the earliest people who sacrificed knives were the old members of the Fan family. The reason why it evolved into a knife on his own family is the result of his own efforts in the final analysis.
Zhang Juzheng was not interested in qigong and Feng Si's cultivation and body cultivation boxing, but when Zhang Shunqing returned to the door, he almost pressed his neck to force his father to nod, and he looked like he would rather die than marry Fan Jin. Zhang Juzheng couldn't resist his daughter, so he had to agree, and as for whether he could cash it out, he had to be supervised by Aguli.
On the day of returning to the door, it was very grand, and the Jiangling Gate congratulated Fan Jin and congratulated Xiangye, and the scene was very lively. But after returning from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Shunqing's mood has not been high, but she is more attentive when serving Fan Jin, and she is eager to conceive a child.
If you look at the same thing from different perspectives, you will have different results. After being reminded by Fan Jin, Zhang Shunqing re-examined his own house and found that there was indeed a huge crisis on the surface of the flashiness. She specially asked You Qi and a few people in the family who were in charge of boiling medicine, and the answer she got obviously made her heart tremble. In order to maintain his energy and some aspects of his dignity, the father's abuse of drugs is terrifying. It is a medicine that is three parts poisonous, and according to his method of taking medicine and supplements, there will definitely be trouble. Moreover, this kind of arrogance under the Jiangling Gate also made Zhang Shunqing feel a little wrong.
Due to the smooth implementation of the new law and the reduction of resistance to the work of land measurement in Gyeonggi, the subordinates of Gangneung have begun to express their willingness to take credit, guaranteeing that the new law will be spread throughout the country within two or three years. In order to show their faces in front of others, and even to compete with each other, if you say that the new law can be implemented in three years, I will say that it will be two and a half years, and another person will say two years. As for the local public opinion, how powerful the squire is, and what the people's customs are, they don't take into account all of them.
Such an aggressive style might have been effective in times of war. But in the current peaceful and prosperous world, the mentality of these people is more to show their talents in front of Xiangye rather than to ensure people's livelihood. This kind of emotion and attitude is down there, and it's no wonder if there is no problem.
Although in the inner house, the female relatives praised her, and a bunch of people outside regarded Fan Jin as an upstart, but the mood of the husband and wife was not high, and the mood was quite heavy. These people are so smooth that they are a little carried away, the defeat of Wang Anshi's new law, to a large extent, is that such a group of clerks are used below, always thinking that they must make achievements in this term, and have never considered that they will lay a good foundation for the next office, and take ensuring that people's livelihood is not chaotic as the first goal.
Fan Jin had already stepped on the brakes several times in Zhang Juzheng's place, reminding his old father-in-law that he could not be in a hurry to change the law, otherwise he would inevitably be killed. Now the change can be carried out so smoothly because of the fact that I am willing to put down my position and negotiate deals with some people and use my strength to fight. If you go down with such a group of crazy people, you can't talk to anyone, and the result can only be a mess. It's not that Zhang Juzheng doesn't understand this truth, but it's inconvenient for him to speak in that position, although he is worried that the new law will be implemented too radically, and he is even more afraid that the people below will be completely suspended because of his own words. After all, he had seen with his own eyes the laziness of the Ming officials, and he only wanted to whip them forward, and he didn't want to give them any relief.
"In front of me are clever enemies, behind me are incompetent companions, and I must wrestle with both at the same time. And I'm not the target myself. When Fan Jin galloped on his wife that night, he whispered one of his favorite admiral's famous sayings in his previous life, although Zhang Shunqing didn't know why, she could also understand her husband's mood, all she could do was to serve with a more docile attitude and try to eliminate her husband's resentment.
When Fan Jin was on the ship, he made a promise to be a stucco maker, thinking that he was a human being in two lives, and he had an understanding equivalent to a prophet about this era, and he had a cross-era cognition. You may not be able to change what you do, but it's always okay to be a pastemaker. But at this time, I realized that the pasting work was not easy at all.
I'm not afraid of God's opponents, I'm only afraid of pig teammates, there is such a group of colleagues who are eager for quick success, and they are called ghosts if nothing happens. Yang Sizhi was rewarded for his meritorious work in establishing the school on behalf of the school, and was rewarded as a salt patrol imperial history. At present, Yangzhou salt merchants are boycotting, although there is no large-scale attack in the court, but some people secretly poke and ask, what if they really boycott this year's income. In the final analysis, this matter was introduced by Fan Jin, and everyone didn't speak to look at Zhang Juzheng, so they naturally wanted him to give an explanation. Yang Sizhi asked for an order to patrol the salt at this time, which can be regarded as an order to be in danger, and the motive is good, but the specific strategy is another matter.
During the banquet, when Fan Jin asked him why he had to deal with the salt merchants' criticism in Yangzhou, Yang Sizhi's answer was that he only needed to give himself the right to transfer troops, and Yangzhou salt tax was guaranteed to be nothing.
Let's not talk about whether the soldiers in Yangzhou listened to the dispatch or not, but only said that the means he considered was the simplest, direct and effortless, and he could complete the task without using his brain, but at the same time, it was also a way that caused endless harm and was likely to provoke a popular uprising. This is not a problem of Yang Sizhi alone, but a general problem of the Gangneung Party. Most of the magistrates in the Ming Dynasty are passable, and when the monk hits the bell, as long as there is no accident in the local area, he can make a mess. Compared with them, the Gangneung Party is an extremely rare talent, and everyone is willing to work and want to make a career. But the other extreme they have embarked on is the one-sided pursuit of meritorious service, wanting to pursue the three immortals of virtue, meritorious service, and speech, and they do not care at all about maintaining a stable situation and ensuring that there will be no chaos.
The Lord who doesn't know how to maintain balance and doesn't speak amazingly and endlessly, in Fan Jin's opinion, is not much stronger than those who are messing around. I couldn't restrain my father-in-law's subordinates, so I had to set shackles and restrictions on them. During this time, when there was no place to receive it, he only did the work of writing a note at home, and even accepted two concubines, and he couldn't see that Fan Jin had nothing to eat Liang Pandi and Zheng Chan, which was Zhang Shunqing's remuneration to her husband.
The content of the article can be regarded as a performance appraisal standard, referring to the management of modern companies in later generations, combined with the current officialdom reality and the standards of officials. Before Zhang Juzheng was engaged in the test method, in Fan Jin's opinion, one of the biggest problems was that he believed in data too much. The rise and fall of officials are all determined by the Qiangu data, and it has become a strange standard that whoever can complete the taxation and service is a good official, and does not consider the safety of people's livelihood and governance. For a long time, this will inevitably lead to the phenomenon of officials ignoring the demands of the people and enmity between the government and the people.
It is a note written by Fan Jin this time, which is a supplement to this phenomenon. The assessment of officials Qian Gu is only one aspect, and other aspects should also be considered. Especially everyone's management of different places, the rich money valley in the south of the Yangtze River really cares, and the poor places in Shaanxi must also be a model of grain, even if Li Zicheng is not forced, he can also cultivate the likes of breaking the sky and Zijin Liang. The assessment of these places is not Qiangu, but public security and people's livelihood.
In addition, culture, education, and social order are taken into account, and are assessed by the imperial court's supervisory body. Culture and education are not prosperous, the people only want to swing their fists and knives when they encounter problems, and the local dynamic social organizations are more popular than the yamen, no matter how much food you can get, don't think about promotion, if the magistrate gets the people to cut their teeth, they must be prepared to throw away the yarn hat.
This kind of comprehensive evaluation method is not difficult for the current bureaucrats to understand, but mainly troublesome. The officials of the Ming Dynasty were not unaware of these things, they were just simply lazy. Even those who have the courage to do things, in their bones, they want to gain fame and wealth in the decades of their lives, and by the way, they will also be famous in history. If you set your heart down to do trivial work that will not leave a reputation in future generations, you will have little interest.
Fan Jin didn't take out this before, but he also knew that no one was willing to do this kind of thing, and no one listened to him when he took it out, in case Zhang Juzheng misunderstood that it was a vicious attack on the great Zaifu Zhang Jiangling, he didn't even have to do it as a son-in-law. Now that the wives are married, everyone has become a family, and they dare to say whatever they want, so they dare to come up with this hated suggestion. Relying on Zhang Juzheng's iron fist to carry these things forward, no matter how dissatisfied the officials are, they must carry them out. As for who scolds themselves behind their backs, it is just a matter of sneezing a few more times.
In addition, Fan Jin's other three statements are aimed at the entire country.
The first is to change the old rules and replan the management system of the Yue Ya Shang. In the original judicial system of the Ming Dynasty, although the people were given the way to sue the government, the province and even the criminal department, but in practice, the handling opinions of this kind of overstepping the government and suing the court are basically as follows: remand for retrial. What Fan Jin proposed this time was to implement a system of cross-interrogation and return visits. If the person is charged three times in a row, a cross-interrogation plan must be initiated, and a triage will be formed by the neighboring county and the Yamen at the next higher level plus the imperial history to ensure fairness.
The second is to open the ban on feudal kings, allowing the clan to participate in liberal arts and conferring officials, and at the same time establishing a feudal school to teach the children of the clan to study the scriptures. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden for the clan to be a soldier and not allowed to read the art of war, and all the clan members who are reported for private training and sit on the ground will be banned for life in Fengyang, and the whistleblower can get half of the family furniture of the person being reported, completely blocking the way for the clan to lead the troops. After the opening of the imperial examination and the ban on doing business, the clan will implement the seven-banknote three-meter system, and 70% of the money will be used in treasure money...... That's right, it is the legal tender treasure in the literal sense of the Ming Dynasty.
As for the third one, it is even more surprising than the previous two combined: in short, the Ming tax cut plan.
These three plans will be presented in the name of Zhang Juzheng, and their far-reaching impact is related to the interests of the new law and the people, and more importantly, once it is implemented, Zhang Juzheng's merits cannot be erased. In the future, the Son of Heaven will look at these merits, and his resentment towards the Zhang family will always be smaller.
Fan Jin tried his best to think about the strategy, but he didn't take credit, Zhang Shunqing naturally had to make up for her husband, and she would raise her hand if she could steal incense. Just as Fan Jin and Liang Pandi were laughing, the door was pushed open, and Sister Hu stood timidly at the door.
Liang Pandi pushed Fan Jin with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Eldest sister...... It's not like you think, I came to talk about things, and now that I'm done, he should go back, tonight is the day you officially get your name, and he will definitely be there for you. ”
Sister Hu's eyes, which had already been cured, were a little red, but she quickly put a smile on her face and whispered, "I...... The bed in my room is very large, if the third sister doesn't dislike it...... Let's come along. ”
