The discussion was very intense, and there was even an argument, which Liu Zongzhou and Zhang Pu did not expect.

The key point of disagreement is still on how to help the people, the unified understanding of the people, to help the victims of the county, this is no problem, but for the foreign displaced people, the rescue needs to be considered, after all, the strength of the state and county is insufficient, there is not so much capacity, although this year's grain harvest is huge, but the number of displaced people is huge, if they all come to Henan Prefecture, the yamen will not be able to bear it at all.

In the official's salary, there is also controversy, the situation in each place, there are good and bad, this is inseparable from the basic conditions, if there is a gap in the aspect of the government, the county with poor conditions, it must be difficult to think, the work is already hard, the treatment is still poor, and the enthusiasm is seriously hit. In this regard, the government can be coordinated, and the officials are required to be consistent.

As for the matter of dredging the Yellow River, everyone did not have much objection, but they were a little worried that dredging the Yellow River would require too much silver, and if they couldn't get it, don't force it.

The three major events of agriculture, commerce and trade, and Jiangning camp are the focus of work in the coming year, and everyone unanimously agrees.

The construction of the inspection department has actually begun in some places.

This night, Liu Zongzhou and Zhang Pu stayed up almost all night, revising the manuscript.

Early the next morning, before the meeting began, everyone found that the Yin Hotel was very busy, and only after asking did they know that the Yin Hotel was preparing, according to the requirements of the prefect, the noon banquet should be high, and the prefect and everyone would join the New Year.

The meeting began in a very serious atmosphere.

After half a day of discussion, everyone was very concerned about the requirements of the government office.

When Zhang Pu began to speak, the surroundings were very quiet, and everyone was concentrated.

Liu Zongzhou on the side was full of emotion, such a situation. It was the first time he had seen this place in Henan Province, whether it was big or small, and it was not so simple to do a good job in the thirteen counties of a state. Su Tiancheng used to be the magistrate of Jiangning County, and the place where he led was not big after all, when he arrived in Henan Mansion, he was able to adapt as quickly as possible and make real changes happen in Henan Mansion, and he also thought of such a way to unify everyone's thoughts, which is really not simple.

Occasionally, Liu Zongzhou would also think about it. Although Su Tiancheng is young, if he goes to the capital and becomes the first assistant of the cabinet, I am afraid that he will do better than anyone else.

Zhang Pu's manuscript has been seriously revised, and Su Tiancheng and Liu Zongzhou have seriously discussed it together. The changes that have taken place in it are one aspect. The matter of the officials and officials agreed with the opinions discussed by everyone, and the prefectures and counties were roughly unified, and the overall standards were taken out by the government and the government offices, and all localities strictly implemented this standard.

The rest. Or according to the previous opinion.

With regard to the relief of the victims, the requirements of the government are very strict, and they must be relieved, and they cannot pass the buck. Reporting to the government must not push the displaced people away.

Su Tiancheng spoke after the most reluctance.

"Today is the eleventh day of the lunar month, not far from the Spring Festival, first of all, I wish you all good health, step by step."

There were smiles on everyone's faces, and the atmosphere seemed much more relaxed.

"Henan Mansion has changed in the past year, everyone has seen it, the day before yesterday I went to the bazaar to see, the people's faces, most of them are smiling, the sales of New Year's goods are very hot, to say that the people will not cheat, the days are better, it is manifested on the face, there is such a situation, I am very pleased, this is also the result of everyone's joint efforts, on behalf of the government, I thank you for your hard work, the government will play according to the facts, and report your achievements to the imperial court."

"I won't say much about the results, you have raised a lot of questions, Lord Zhang has just said the solution, you must do it according to the requirements of the government, so that the people's lives are getting better and better, or that sentence, being an official is not the master of the people, it is better to go home and plant sweet potatoes."

"Came to Henan Mansion, it happened to be a year thing, nothing big happened, you may think, is it a little dissatisfied, many of you are from Jiangning County, think of a few years in Jiangning County, every year will encounter big things, if anyone thinks like this, it is wrong, the development of Henan Province, need a stable environment, the foundation here is not very good, if the external environment is not good, it is more difficult to develop."

"I don't have any special requirements, whether it is the county that followed me before, or the magistrate sent by the imperial court, we work together, it is fate, as the saying goes, a hundred years of cultivation can be crossed by the same boat, a thousand years of cultivation can sleep together, we can work together, at least five hundred years of fate, so our goals must be the same."

"Today I specifically mentioned one thing, the matter of greedy ink, there is a sentence, thousands of miles to be an official for food and clothing, if you can't eat enough, your family can't support you, and what do you mention to be a good official, that's a joke, it's also a harsh demand for everyone, I can't do it if I ask myself, sometimes, because the money is too low, I make up my mind to be greedy for ink, silver, no one will refuse, the more the better, human nature."

"I specifically talked about the matter of greedy ink, I want to remind you that in our Henan Prefecture, there are problems in this regard, in the past year, according to the situation I have learned, some counties, the annual income is a lot, the filial piety of the gentry and wealthy households, the filial piety of the merchants, and the income on criminal matters, I have not emphasized these before, I don't blame everyone, this is my responsibility."

"Why do you want to specifically mention the issue of subsidies for officials and officials, that is, it is necessary to put an end to the situation of greed for ink, and you can tell the truth in terms of money, which shows that you still know the Tao, and it is not a good thing to be greedy for ink."

"The government has made it clear that you have a lot of money, the county's annual income has reached 3,000 taels of silver, the county has reached 2,000 taels, and the main body is 1,500 taels, this income, in Henan Mansion, is already very high, even if you raise a few more concubines, it is enough, in this case, if anyone still wants to be greedy for ink, then don't blame me for being unkind, if it is found, it must be severely punished, no matter how much contribution you make."

"The subsidy for the officials and the officials has also increased, and the officials have reached about 200 taels of silver per year, which is unthinkable in other places, of course, it cannot be compared with Jiangning County, after all, the conditions are different, and the annual subsidy of the officials is close to 100 taels of silver, which shows that the government attaches great importance to the officials."

"So much silver, there is always a need to have a place to take it out, so the work of you in the coming year is very important, the opinion of the government is clear, give each state and county half a year of subsidies, half a year later, everything has to rely on yourself, if you can't earn so much silver, you can only pay less."

"The role of developing commerce and trade, I don't say that everyone also knows the way, these silver, can only be obtained from the development of commerce and trade, the most important work for you in the coming year is to support the development of commerce and trade."

"The gentry and rich households pay taxes, this is the decision made by the government, and it is also the result of your discussion, the implementation of this matter cannot be discounted, if you want to be a good gentleman, do not offend the gentry and rich households, then the government will offend you, you don't want to sit on the position, you don't do it, some people do it."

The atmosphere became more and more serious, although Zhang Pu assigned the task, but what Su Tiancheng said was the real embodiment of everyone, and what things need to be paid attention to.

Half an hour passed, and Su Tiancheng finally finished speaking.

Su Tiancheng's speech was very concise and not wordy at all, exactly the same as his style of doing things.

Yin Hotel has been ready for a long time.

In the huge hall, a banquet has been set up.

After everyone took their seats, Su Tiancheng, Zhang Pu, Tan Changluo and others held wine glasses, and every table arrived, clinking glasses with everyone and toasting everyone.

This kind of model makes everyone feel very cordial.

At the end of the banquet, Zhang Pu and Tan Changluo were drunk.

Liu Zongzhou is older, but he is also shaky.

Su Tiancheng's situation is much better, after all, he is the prefect, and the amount of alcohol is different.

Back in Santang, Qu Qingze followed in.

Qu Qingze's face was flushed, and he seemed to have drunk a lot of wine.

In terms of drinking, Qu Qingze has always admired Su Tiancheng, and compared with each other, he felt that he did not have any aspect that could be compared with Su Tiancheng.

"Lao Qu, is there something wrong?"

"My lord, I heard that my lord is going to take a fundraising method to dredge the Yellow River."

"Yes, the government can't come up with so much silver, it can only be fundraising, the Yellow River must be dredged, otherwise there will be a disaster, more silver will be consumed, and the people will suffer."

"Xiaguan is a little worried, in this place of Henan Mansion, the understanding of the gentry and wealthy families is not ordinary stubbornness, if you find these people to raise donations, it is very difficult."

"You're right, it is precisely because of the stubbornness of these gentry and wealthy families that the government came up with this idea and found them to raise donations, so that they can understand that they must contribute to the development of Henan Province."

"The lower officials have a suggestion, is it among the officials to collect donations first, so that the gentry and rich families have opinions, and it is not easy to say, at least they see that the officials have collected donations."

"I have also considered this problem, except for a small number of officials in Henan Prefecture, most of them are still a little poor, and they ask everyone to raise donations, which is unreasonable."

"My lord, the lower officials don't see it that way, anyway, the officials have to take the lead in fundraising, so that they can also ask the gentry and wealthy households to raise donations."

"Well, this understanding is also reasonable, I did it first, I can ask others, this proposal is good, the government immediately asked everyone to do this, the Yellow River dredging project, may start in the first month, there are many farmers who enter Henan Province, not necessarily every household has arable land, let them dredge the Yellow River, but also reduce the burden of the state and county, after you go back, more publicity, Shaanxi has increased a lot of farmers."
