Chapter 619: Big layoffs

Wen Yanbo was worried that the emperor would raise the prison, so he ran to the bottom and begged Wang Ningan for help.

But when the results came out, Wen Xianggong was dumbfounded.

He even hoped that Zhao Zhen would simply arrest some people, cut off people's heads, and bleed like a river...... It's better than the current situation.

The emperor held the account book left by Zhao Yunrang.

It is not clear who is involved, how much ink is greedy, and what illegal things have been done.

Everyone is like a headless fly, shrouded in a cage, and it can be said that everyone is in danger and frightened.

At this time, Zhao Zhen instead threw out a trick to rectify the rule of officials and conduct audits.

In normal times, everyone may still have the courage to refute, and the political hall can also compete with the emperor, and the audit department can't let go.

But now Zhao Zhen is holding the book of life and death.

Who dares to come out?

When you come out, the emperor will dig out the old accounts, saying that you are Zhao Yun's henchmen, and you will not recover directly, and your head will fall to the ground!

So at this time, everyone's best choice is to shut up, and when you find out that you have a problem, hurry up and go home, and you can save your life. Between dismissal and losing one's head, I believe that everyone will make a rational choice.

It's just that when Uncle Zhao will stop, and how many people he will eradicate, Wen Yanbo is not sure.

Beheadings can be dozens at most, but dismissals, a hundred, two hundred, or more...... It's hard to say.

Wen Yanbo's neck broke out in a cold sweat, and he shuddered.

Zhao Zhen is indeed getting more and more powerful.

In the past, it was the civil officials who played with the emperor, and now it is the emperor who reversely rectifies the civil officials.

If you don't believe it, look up, God will let anyone go!

You can't live if you do your own evil!

This is retribution!

But the question is, is it okay for retribution to fall on someone else? Why should it fall on the head of the old man? Wen Xianggong was really sad and indignant.

"Erlang, do you know who the old man envies the most now?"

Wang Ningan blinked his eyes twice and said with a smile: "It can't be Jia Ziming, right?" ”

"That's right!" Wen Yanbo gritted his teeth and said: "The old man really wants to resign immediately, even if he goes home to be a farmer." ”

Wang Ningan chuckled, "Xianggong Wen, if you resign now, you will definitely not be able to leave the capital, and you will be directly regarded as Zhao Yun to let the rest of the party, do you believe it or not?" ”

Wen Yanbo was speechless when asked, his facial features were hideous, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet!

"Hey! The old man is on the thief ship, and he can't get down! ”

In fact, not only Wen Yanbo, almost all the officials, who had dealings with Zhao Yunrang, all trembled and shuddered.

They are now like meat on a chopping block, the emperor can cut it as he wants, dispose of it as he wants, and he doesn't even have the capital to resist.

For so many years, civil officials have been arrogant and domineering, doing whatever they want, who would have thought that they would have such a miserable day!

If it weren't for being outside the palace gate, Wang Ningan really wanted to laugh three times.

Two words: deserved!

"Xianggong Wen, it's still the same sentence, I won't fall into the ground, but I can't stop Your Majesty from going to what extent...... So, Wen Xianggong, ask for more blessings! ”

After Wang Ningan finished speaking, he hummed a little song and went home proudly.

This case, after working for so long, finally settled down, the Runan Mansion was cleaned up, Miao Guifei was finished, and the next thing was officialdom...... All in all, his apprentice is temporarily safe, and he can't see that anyone still wants to snatch the throne.

Uncle Zhao also became darker and more fierce.

It's going to be easier for yourself.

Wang Ningan returned home, and as soon as he entered the door, his face changed.

Dogtooth and Xiaoyu ran in front, followed by a string of black and white puppies...... Wang Ningan rubbed his eyes, obediently, isn't this the legendary Erha?

"Stop!"

Wang Ningan yelled angrily, "Where did this broken dog come from?" ”

Gouya'er stood up and said in a big way: "It was given by grandpa, and I want to settle the account and find grandpa!" ”

Xiao Yu was smarter than his brother, and stuffed the half-eaten sugar man to his father, comforting: "Don't be angry, the dog is so cute, better looking than my brother." ”

Dogtooth was so angry that he wanted to beat Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan hurriedly hid behind his father and made a wild face at his brother. Dogtooth rolled her eyes in anger.

Deal with Daddy first, and then clean you up later!

Gouya said proudly: "Grandpa said, this dog is amazing, he can pull a sled!" I'm going to raise them and go out in the winter with a sled! ”

Wang Ningan was speechless, can you wait until winter!

And lo and behold!

One, two, three...... There are more than a dozen huskies, and it won't be long before the mansion will be demolished!

These two people lined up in a row, staring at Wang Ning'an with sparkling eyes, and from their eyes, Wang Ning'an could feel a strong mockery: two-legged beast, shovel officer, your end has come!

A bunch of huskies, plus a tumbling ...... Wang Ningan's head is big, and his home has become a zoo, so he can't stay anymore!

Wang Ningan hung his head and returned to the study listlessly, taking advantage of the fact that Erha has not grown up, hurry up and enjoy the rare silence for a while!

Huskies are very ancient dog breeds, close relatives of wolves, they came to the Khitan with the barbarians in the far north, and then followed the Khitans south, were captured by their father, and sent to Luoyang......

The appearance of Erha, as well as the freezing of Taoshui, all signs indicate that the weather is getting colder and colder, and the day when the northern barbarians will go south is not far off.

Something must be done, otherwise the prosperous Great Song Dynasty will be ruthlessly crushed like a fragile egg!

Wang Ningan's mind was very messy, and he thought a lot...... At this time, Uncle Zhao can be heavy-handed and rectify the rule of officials, maybe it is a good thing, the Great Song Dynasty is too comfortable, too comfortable, and too much in need of a stormy change!

No one could have imagined that the first time Erha appeared in the Great Song Dynasty, it set off a bloody storm!

Wang Ningan watched from the wall and became very positive.

Let's make the audit storm more violent!

……

Within a month of the announcement of the purge of officials, the Audit Department found a total of 27 people who were greedy for ink, 35 people who were inactive, 58 people who were old and sick, and 115 people who were slightly unusable...... In addition, redundant officials were also found, a total of 3,384 people!!

As we all know, the problem of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty was serious, but how serious was it?

Taking the Tang Dynasty as an example, there were only more than 2,000 central officials, and Tang Taizong once abolished and rectified, and the number was reduced to more than 600. As for the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 20,000 officials in two capitals and 13 provinces, and the number of officials in Beijing was more than 2,000.

From this, it can be inferred that the normal three provinces and six departments, the capital yamen, and the number of officials are only two or three thousand at most, which is enough. After all, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is less than half of that of the Tang Dynasty, and there are not so many people.

Of course, because the Song Dynasty had developed taxation and a strict financial system, the number of officials needed was also large, so let's double it!

In other words, the Great Song Center, with a maximum of 50,000 people, is the limit.

But in fact, at present, only in Xijing Luoyang and Tokyo Kaifeng, there are as many as 17,000 officials! Especially after the relocation of the capital, the corresponding yamen in Tokyo was not revoked, and Xijing had another set of teams, and the various officials counted up, almost reaching a staggering 20,000 people!

Among these officials, seventy or eighty percent are Jilu officials, simply put, they just take money and don't work, and more than 20% of the annual finances of the imperial court are used to support officials, and as for how much money these officials waste by greedy ink, it is even more incalculable.

I want to use the topic to play, but I am not for the enmity with Zhao Yunrang! I'm not that superficial!

Zhao Zhen took the little prince's hand and said patiently: "In order to end the chaos of the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizu had to release military power with a glass of wine, reuse civilian officials, and restrict military generals. The father and emperor had to reverse the law of Taizu and start restricting civil officials, which was also to make it easier for the emperor to do things in the future...... Emperor, do you know why the emperor can sit in the middle? ”

The little prince shook his head.

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "In short, it is balance, civil and military affairs are like two legs, two arms, if the civil official is strong, he must press it, and if the military attache is weak, he must mention it, as long as they are balanced, the middle position can be stable." Therefore, in recent years, there have been too many redundant troops, and it is necessary to reduce the redundant van army. There are too many officials, and redundant personnel must also be eliminated...... Emperor, do you understand? ”

"Well, Erchen understands!"

"Good boy!"

Zhao Zhen patted the little prince's head, "In a few days, it will be the ceremony of establishing the prince, you will be the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and the country and the society will be yours in the future, don't let your father down!" ”

……

"It's going to be fatal, it's going to be a human life!"

Faced with the results of the Audit Division, Wen Yanbo's head exploded.

He immediately summoned everyone in the political affairs hall and wanted to discuss it with a few ministers, after all, it was almost enough to rectify the rule of officials, and it would be a problem to kill thousands of people at once.

"Princess, are you willing to go to school with the old man?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Anshi stood up, and he said proudly: "The sage's candle shines thousands of miles, has insight into the shortcomings of the Great Song Dynasty, is determined to innovate, and lays off redundant personnel, which is really wise and wise, and the measures are appropriate. I am in the heart of a book to praise Your Majesty's feat. ”

As soon as the prime minister finished speaking, Sima Guang immediately echoed: "I am also willing to go to the book!" ”

"Count the old man!" Bao Zheng also interjected.

A series of three cannons hit Wen Yanbo dizzy.

He has the heart to die, how good those people were at the beginning, Jia Changchao, Pang Ji, Zhao Bian, Han Qi, Wang Gongchen...... No matter what, they are all on the side of civil officials, like these few, one by one gritting their teeth, their faces are hideous, they are even more excessive than the emperor!

If you have to get along with the civil officials, aren't you afraid that there will be no good end?

Bao Zheng doesn't care at all, anyway, the old man has no son, an old life, fight!

Sima Guang secretly said that I am on the side of the master, I would rather offend Lord Yama than offend the master!

As for Wang Anshi...... This one doesn't even know what it means to offend people!

Go forward bravely and die without regrets!

Wen Yanbo had no choice but to go to Zhao Zhen, wanting to persuade the emperor to take back his fate.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this list can be modified by one or two, after all, ......"

Before Wen Yanbo finished speaking, Zhao Zhen interrupted: "What Wen Xianggong said is reasonable, I also think that it is not enough to lay off such a few people, at least 10,000 people should be laid off!" ”
