Chapter 189: Choose with your feet
Chen Kang sued Shi Bufan again, especially after he heard that Shi Bufan collected the so-called medical mutual aid fund and then deposited it in this Qin family's bank, he immediately knew that this was a very important means of complaining. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Because this is an out-and-out looting in his eyes, it is looting the people, and he is filling his pockets by collecting various fees under the name of a clever name. So this makes him think that this is an extraordinary opportunity to file a lawsuit, you must know that in the early days of almost every country, it is necessary to recuperate, and even legal taxes cannot be overcharged, let alone the looting of ordinary corrupt officials? Therefore, in many cases, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, corrupt officials were still very strict, which made Chen Kang think that this was an extraordinary opportunity to move down. This looting is a fatal one, and corruption was also an important crime in ancient times to clean up political opponents. Chen Kang thought that he had a chance and could be a general together.
Of course, later he heard that the surrounding people actually wanted to settle in Wannian County, and the hearts of several surrounding counties were fluctuating, so he once again found an opportunity to criticize Shi Bu Shi. Shi Bufan took in the population of several surrounding counties, which was to destroy the relationship between the localities, and make several counties near the capital Chang'an discordant, which would affect the overall situation of the imperial court. So this is also a reason to sue, so he thinks that this time he will definitely be able to give Shi Bufan a general. If these two reasons can't be cleaned up, then in Chen Kang's eyes, this is impossible.
"Your Majesty, such corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and sabotage and provoke the relationship between our local counties, this is a heinous crime, please punish the emperor severely! Your Majesty, if you don't severely punish such corrupt officials who loot the people and make the people miserable, then I will not be a country in the Tang Dynasty! Your Majesty, you must not go unpunished for the corrupt officials who loot the people and make the people miserable! Chen Kang said bitterly.
Shi Bufan replied lightly, and then asked: "Your Majesty, and my colleagues, I just want to ask, since I have looted the people's fat and ointment and made the people miserable, then why are the people in the surrounding counties desperately squeezing into our Wannian County?" Since Chen Kang said that the people here are not happy, and the people are still squeezing me, doesn't that mean that other places are even worse? If all the people here are struggling to make a living, but the people are still crowding me, is it worse somewhere else? Other places are simply biting and eating people, isn't it all the counties in my Datang world, and the people here are not happy, but the best? ”
"Chen Kang, are you saying that my Datang is going to die? On the contrary, the place where the people are not able to make a living is the best, and except for Wannian County, other places are completely unable to survive? ”
The surrounding officials immediately pointed their fingers, if it was really the people who were struggling to make a living, then why did the surrounding people desperately squeeze Wannian County? This is really a fallacy, since ancient times, if a local official looted too hard, then the local people only have the share of escape, where are the people from other places desperately want to move in? Only when the local officials are good, the government is good, and the people are prosperous and healthy, and this is the situation where people from other places move into them. Didn't Emperor Shun in ancient times develop people's livelihood together by doing well, so that people continued to move in? The more they loot, the more people will flee, and there is no way to move in.
That Chen Kang's face was the same as pig's liver, so he really found a problem. That is, I seem to have a contradiction between these two crimes, if the people are struggling to make a living, then how can there be people willing to move in? However, some people moved in, which shows that Shi Bufan is not only not a looting official, but a good official, so that his crime of corruption and looting will naturally not be admitted.
Therefore, these two charges are contradictory to each other, and no matter which one is to be sued, the other can corroborate each other, and the other crime is solved.
Chen Kang's thinking is actually very simple, as an ancient imperial history, the first thing he needs to look at is "political correctness", not the effect. In ancient times, corruption and looting of the people was a very "politically incorrect" thing! And casually taking in people from other places and affecting the relationship between local governments is also a "politically incorrect" thing. If these two things are viewed separately, they are naturally two great crimes. He had only seen "political incorrectness" before, but he had not linked the cause and effect of the two events at all. He argues that these two things are separate, and that both of them are "politically incorrect", so they can be brought to an end. But I didn't expect that now it's actually oolong.
"Sure enough, it's a fool, you didn't choose the crime well, you still want to sue me?" Shi Bufan thought disdainfully.
Chen Kang found that there was a problem with these two, and he could only say: "Your Majesty, these are two things, not the same thing." I want to accuse him of embezzlement and looting, and on the other hand, he has caused dissatisfaction in the surrounding counties because of his taking in people. These are two things, how can they be confused with him and you? ”
The surrounding officials, even Li Shimin, were all "booed", and Chen Kang would not sue for this lawsuit. Before the complaint, there was no investigation, and immediately opened his mouth and sprayed randomly. As a result, he was refuted, he was exhausted in donkey skills, and he could only use such strong words, and then he insisted on cutting off two related things.
Of course, anyone knows that if these two things happen separately, it will naturally be a great "political incorrectness". But if two things happen together, it really shows that Shi Bufan is a good official and a good official who works for the benefit of the people.
Chen Kang then said to Shi Bufan: "Shi Bufan, you explain to me this matter of your unauthorized looting of the people, you tell me about it!" ”
"Regarding this, I said that I collected the people's grain indiscriminately, and this is just a policy announced by our Wannian County. And this policy is a medical mutual aid, where Wannian County household registration and treatment with the doctors of Wannian County, the doctor does not charge the consultation fee, and the cost of medicinal materials can be paid by half of this fund, and the other half is borne by himself. Of course, there are some conditions for this, and injuries and suicide and self-harm for violations of discipline cannot be half of the funds. Part of this fund will be used to pay the fixed monthly wages of those doctors who are registered in Wannian County. I think that there will be doctors from other counties who want to move to Wannian County in the future, because the doctor is a person with an unstable income, so they also want to have a stable income. With a stable income, then they will not choose to ask high prices for the people. ”
"And this fund is not mine, but is deposited with the accounts of all the people in Wannian County, which is public-to-public, not private wealth. Therefore, if the people of Wannian County are sick, they can withdraw half of the medicine fee from Qin's Qianzhuang with the seal of the local doctor as a guarantee prescription. And this money is formed by the people's own voluntary mutual assistance, and our government only plays a coordinating role, only coordinating them to organize, not our government taking the initiative to collect it. So it's nonsense to say that I'm looting. I also only promote the people to help each other, neither using the wealth of the government nor looting, so isn't it very good that we promote friendship among the people? Shi Bufan said.
Kong Yingda, as an academic friend of Shi Bufan, took the initiative to say: "Shi Xiancheng said it well, guiding the people to help each other and be neighborly and friendly, which is advocated by all sages." This is really the merit of Shi County's education, so that the people are willing to help each other, of course it is very good, how can it become his crime of looting the people? ”
Shi Bufan gave himself this medical mutual aid, calling it the mutual assistance of the people themselves. But in fact, Wannian County didn't actually allocate funds to them, but just asked them to take out some of the funds for long-term coexistence, and then support the doctor. In this way, doctors have a stable income and can avoid charging high prices for a specific person. In this way, it was actually a little bit out of every common people, and then they fed this doctor. It is equivalent to sharing the medical expenses of a certain person to everyone and jointly funding, which can be regarded as promoting good-neighborliness and helping each other. After all, when people are sick, it is impossible for everyone to be sick at the same time, right? If everyone gets sick at the same time, it's definitely a plague, not an ordinary sickness. It is precisely because it is impossible for everyone to get sick at the same time that this is the space where medical security exists. Otherwise, everyone will get sick together, and no amount of money will be enough to reimburse them.
The reason why Shi Bufan didn't take the accounts of this so-called government was because he couldn't trust these officials. Shi Bufan is very clear about the morality of these bureaucrats, they may not dare to embezzle, but embezzlement is absolute. Misappropriation and embezzlement are not the same thing. If he embezzles public funds for private purposes, he can also be prosecuted. But once he embezzles public funds to do some public things, it is really difficult to sentence him.
Especially the ancient emperors built a lot of buildings, in case the ancient emperors were jealous of this money and let the local officials embezzle it? If it was later generations of officials who used public funds to enjoy it, it was absolutely illegal. However, in ancient times, it was reasonable to use public funds to enjoy the emperor, bureaucrats and nobles. In ancient times, no matter how bitter the emperor was, no matter how poor he was, he couldn't be poor officials, and it was reasonable and legal to embezzle public funds to officials and emperors to waste extravagantly. Therefore, Shi Bufan can't trust them, once he enters the public account, without sufficient civilian supervision and protection, he really can't trust these officials not to embezzle.
The laws of ancient times were completely different from those of later generations, and the legislative ideas were completely different. Therefore, in ancient times, it was legal to embezzle public funds to the nobles to enjoy luxury, and this is the difference. At that time, if it is given to the officials for safekeeping, then it is certain that there will be absolutely no penny left, and the so-called supervision in ancient times is simply like paper paste. is even completely different from later generations, so how can Shi Bufan rest assured that this money will be handed over to the government for safekeeping?
"Then the people are so willing to be looted by you, so willing to take out this grain? Aren't you persecuting? If you hadn't forced it, would they have done so? Chen Kang obviously continued to use strong words.
However, Shi Bufan replied: "I believe that the people will choose with their feet!" ”
Shi Bufan's words immediately made everyone feel that although they were vulgar, they made some sense. Because whether a place is well developed or not, whether the officials are good or not, the people will choose with their feet. Where officials govern well and people's livelihood develops well, it will naturally attract a lot of foreign population. But if a local official is incompetent, then the people will also be powerful. If the officials in that place are highly corrupt, it will make the people leave faster. So the people are actually very realistic, where they want to live, this is the reason why many people want to go to the city, or even to the big city.
Not only the people, all kinds of talents choose their own development platform, they will choose those places that are suitable for their own development, if they are not suitable for their own development, there is no future in the place, they will naturally choose to leave. Not just local, but even industry. Once an industry has no development prospects, and a company has no development prospects, then talents will choose to leave and stop doing things here. This is a market economy of red fruits, and everyone will choose for themselves, from ordinary people to talents to businessmen and even officials. If a department has no future, then they will definitely desperately want to be transferred to another department, this is ironclad.
This is also the most conspicuous, where to keep people, then this is also the best way, indicating that it is a better place.
However, Chen Kang immediately said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, but I think that the British immediately ordered Shi Bufan to stop this so-called mutual medical assistance, otherwise the surrounding people will also pour into this Wannian County, so what's the point?" Therefore, please order the emperor to stop this method of mutual medical assistance, so as to avoid the influx of people from other counties here. It is even forbidden for local officials to implement such a similar strategy of mutual medical assistance, so as to avoid a concentrated influx of people, which will eventually lead to the loss of population in each county and cause discord in various counties. Otherwise, all the people of my Datang will flow into Wannian County, so it will really make Wannian County unable to earn. Even my Wannian County is an attached Guo County of Chang'an, and when the time comes, people from all over the country will pour in, won't this make my Chang'an too burdensome? Therefore, please prohibit the use of such tactics by the emperor, so that we can avoid overpopulation. ”
Shi Bufan immediately opened his mouth and laughed and said: "Hahahaha, Chen Kang, you jealous and jealous guy, you are actually squirting feces all over your mouth here, it seems that you are really the imperial history!" ”
Chen Kang's face turned red and scolded: "Shi Bufan, what did you say? I am kind and well-intentioned to be loyal to the court, but you actually say that I am jealous and jealous, then if you don't say a ugly son, then I will fight with you! I am jealous of the virtuous, how can this be true, what evidence do you have that I am jealous of the virtuous? I'm telling you, if you don't give a reason, I'll fight with you today! ”
Chen Kang made a desperate appearance, obviously very angry. (To be continued.) )
