"It's really tiring to face up this example......

Lu Chengqi, who returned to the Vertical Arch Palace, sat on the dragon chair, already looking at the Nine Dragons roof of the Vertical Arch Hall with his eyes, and was dazed. www.biquge.info To be honest, he didn't expect that he had been planning for a long time, and he said it so unexpectedly. It's just that today's situation in the Daqing Hall cannot be solved by the non-ten-grade official system. The other way is just to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.

The system of officials was part of the bureaucratic system of the agrarian state. Because the agricultural tax is the bulk of the tax revenue, the imperial court does not have the extra financial resources to pay as much as more than 100,000 Xu officials, so it has to choose some Xu officials as the imperial court, and some of them have their names registered in the register. Such as arresters, prison officials, gang officials (small officials who escort government property) and so on. The rest, such as the officials, the masters, the storekeepers (the officials who take care of the warehouse), the jiatou (to collect taxes), the head of the blockade (to search and detect tax evasion), and the security officials (to maintain law and order in the villages), are all hired by the magistrates. If the magistrates are very picky, they have no source of income, so they can only earn extra money on their own.

In the eyes of the common people, these officials are equivalent to officials, and whatever they say is what they are. When collecting taxes, it is common for the head to collect a little more, and it is common to help the family; When the first head is urging taxes, if they want to be tolerant for some time, the farmers cannot but bribe them with some money and silver; Not to mention the prison guards, who was not secretly asked for money when visiting the prison? If the officials are more bold and exploit the people together with the corrupt officials, it will be even more of a disaster. It's just that their names are not on the official register, and if the incident happens, it can't be counted on their heads, and they are only taking corrupt officials and letting them go. As soon as the rumor passed, they secretly exploited again. And so on is the calamity of the officials, more than the corrupt officials.

The ten-grade bureaucratic system, which was created by imitating the civil service system of later generations, can eliminate this problem to the greatest extent. The first is to eliminate the gap between officials and officials, alleviate their contradictions, and enable officials sent by the imperial court to truly control the locality. These county prefects are the foundation of the imperial court's rule over the place, and if they are hollowed out by the officials, the officials sent by the imperial court will be meaningless. That's the second one. Nature is to protect the common people. No matter what Lu Chengqi does, he must put the interests of the people first. He himself is from the grassroots and understands the hardships of the lives of the people at the bottom. If the ruler forgets the people, how can the people support the monarch? The country?

Lu Chengqi is a modern man whose soul comes from later generations, and he knows the strength of the power of workers and peasants. The people and the water are the king, and this is even a famous saying. As long as he always remembers to work for the welfare of the people, then Dashun Zhongxing is just around the corner. The tragedy of the Song and Ming dynasties will not be repeated in the official history. As a traverser, you will never lose to the ancients in terms of scientific and technological innovation, right?

Just when Lu Chengqi was thinking a lot, the personal little eunuch slowly walked up to him and whispered, "Your Majesty, Xu Shoufu asks to see you." ”

Lu Chengqi didn't seem to hear it, and only after the little eunuch said it a second time, Lu Chengqi came back to his senses: "Oh, Xu Qing is here, announce his audience." ”

The little eunuch received the decree and respectfully withdrew from the back of the arched hall. After a short time, Xu Chongguang, the first assistant of the cabinet, went straight in, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" ”

Lu Chengqi sat down and said, "Xu Qing is exempt from courtesy, give him a seat." ”

In the vertical arch hall, there are already several chairs. During the time of the first emperor, this was unprecedented. The little emperor has the heart of the important ministers of the court, and he does a better job than the previous emperor. Xu Chongguang thought so in his heart and sat down. After the personal little eunuch prepared the tea. He bowed down and exited the vertical arch hall, and closed the door by the way.

"Xu Qing came to see me, there must be something important, right?" Lu Chengqi picked up the teacup in front of him and tested the water temperature. Then I took a sip. At this time, the tea and roasted tea technology had just started, and in addition to the tribute tea, the folk tea was very poor.

Maybe Xu Chongguang is also greedy for tribute tea, and he comes to the vertical arch hall every three or five times to drink tea. However, today I came to the Vertical Arch Hall to see the little emperor. He didn't have the leisure to drink tea. "Your Majesty, the old minister has a sentence, I don't know if I should say it or not......

Seeing Xu Chongguang's spitting appearance, he knew why the old fox was restless. He secretly felt funny, this little old man usually looks calm, but now he is burned, and he is no different from ordinary people!

"Xu Qing is my minister of the humerus, how can you say it? What Xu Qing wants to say is today's routine, right? Lu Chengqi took a long time and stared at Xu Chongguang with eyes that seemed to have seen through everything.

Xu Chongguang smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is really sage, and what the old minister is worried about is this matter." ”

"What, does Xu Qing think that the ten-grade official system is not good?" Lu Chengqi took another sip of tea and said slowly.

Xu Chongguang said with a straight face: "Your Majesty rashly implemented this ten-grade official system, have you ever thought about the hearts of the world's scholars?" The old minister has been the chief officer of the tribute test, and he knows that all the scholars in the world are here for this official position. If the officials were one, what would these scholars think? Your Majesty, if the world's scholars make trouble, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Lu Chengqi was unmoved, smiled slightly, and said, "Xu Qing is worried, and I also deeply agree. It's just that if these scholars only have official positions in their eyes, but they don't have the suffering of the people, what is the use of such scholars? If they make trouble, let it be. I'm afraid they won't make trouble! ”

Xu Chongguang couldn't help but shudder when he heard the hidden killing intent in Lu Chengqi's words, and even his voice trembled: "Your Majesty wants to ......" The last four words couldn't be spoken.

"Book burning, I know what you're going to say. Xu Qing, you are underestimating me too much, what Qin Shi Huang did, how could I do it? Lu Chengqi was generous, but Xu Chongguang still had palpitations, and continued to ask: "Since Your Majesty also understands the harm of book burning and Confucianism, why do you still want to implement the ten-grade official system?" ”

Lu Chengqi had his own plans, and the practice of later generations has proved that the civil service system is reasonable and feasible. As for the most critical issue, the treasury can squeeze it out with a slight tightening of the belt of its trousers. It's just that the deep-rooted distinction between officials and officials of the ancients in this era has not yet been properly resolved.

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "In this world, there is no shortage of people who want to be officials. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Chengqi deliberately stopped talking. Xu Chongguang also understood Lu Chengqi's plan, and his heart was shocked: "This little emperor is really bold, isn't he afraid that the scholar will defect to a foreign country in anger?" ”

There are also such precedents, didn't there be a fallen talent Zhang Yuan a few years ago, and a traitor arrived in Liao? As a result, the Uighurs, who had been friendly with Dashun, threw themselves into the arms of the Liao State. Of course, there is a reason for the decline of Dashun's troops here, but it is also a fact that Zhang Yuan made great efforts. (To be continued.) )
