Chapter 208: Closing Positions (II)

Li Jie suddenly said: "Your Majesty, can the minister revise it now?" ”

Lu Chengqi was stunned for a moment, and he still recognized Li Jie's work attitude. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info nodded and said, "I'll wait, you can draw." "Li Jienai is a generation of painters, and these small engineering drawings are naturally handy. There is no need for a measuring tape, the heart and the eyes are a line, and a straight line can be drawn with a brush. This miraculous painting technique opened Lu Chengqi's eyes. You know, he can't even write well with a brush, but he still has some skills. It is still very difficult to do this like Li Jie.

But after a cup of tea, Li Jie's painting was finished. After looking at Lu Chengqi again, Lu Chengqi nodded appreciatively, and suddenly asked, "Li Qing, this painting style seems to be different from before?" ”

Li Jie is an honest man, and he directly admitted: "Back to Your Majesty, it was painted by the officials of the Ministry of Industry before, and it was sent to Your Majesty only after the minister's approval." ”

Lu Chengqi also understands the thoughts of these high-ranking officials, if they do everything themselves, won't they become like Zhuge Liang, "do their best"? didn't say anything more, and carefully looked at the drawings drawn by Li Jie.

I have to say that a master is a master, and the drawings are quite charming, which not only meets Lu Chengqi's requirements, but also is beautiful and practical. After affirming this plan, Li Jie suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, is this warehouse often closed?" ”

Lu Chengqi was stunned for a moment and said, "Closing the position? Yes, it's a good name, so let's name it after that! ”

Lu Chengqi didn't know that it was, in fact, as early as the Warring States Period, Li Kui of Wei State implemented leveling, and the concept was exactly the same as Lu Chengqi's warehouse. After the Han Dynasty, it was not common to close positions and dispose of them abolishes. Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty was the first four years of Tai, and he always closed the position, and the harvest year was a good year, and the year was thrifty. In the previous dynasty, Chang Ping was abandoned again, and now for national security considerations, this concept has been put forward again, and it has been named Chang Ping again. At least history, it's always strikingly similar!

got Lu Chengqi's affirmation, and Li Jie seemed to have opened the conversation box and told this period of history. Lu Chengqi secretly felt ashamed of his shallow knowledge of history, as a young man who had lived for more than 20 years in the era of information explosion, he actually didn't even know half of history, and many of them were misled by others. If he hadn't woken up in time, he didn't know how much of a mess would have happened.

After learning a lesson, Lu Chengqi no longer dared to make arbitrary decisions. Unless it is something he thinks he wants to do, otherwise, if he is told by the cabinet that it is not okay to do this, Lu Chengqi will still listen carefully. It was only at this time that Xu Chongguang felt the meaning of being the first assistant.

In fact, it also proves that the benefits of a good policy can be seen by those in power. Although it is said that Chang Ping is an "idea" that Lu Chengqi came up with, the smart ancients have already come up with such an idea. The meaning of often closing positions is actually no different from what Lu Chengqi thought. The ministers of the cabinet are all people who have read poetry and books, and they are most familiar with this historical fact. Only Lu Chengqi was kept in the dark, and he thought that he had proposed a "great initiative" that had never been seen before or since. This is just a very high self-esteem and a fool of the ancients. In fact, the wisdom of the ancients is not at all below the later generations, and even surpasses it. It's just that they don't stand high enough, and the limitations of their vision and the tendency of their policies have led to their lack of size.

The advantage of Lu Chengqi is that he knows the process of scientific and technological development, which can make these smart Chinese take fewer detours and less detours in the general direction of politics.

As for the national grain and oil reserves that Lu Chengqi is familiar with, in fact, it is also a precedent of regular liquidation. For any dynasty that wants to have long-term peace and stability, it is essential to stock up on grain. The most important role of grain reserves is to adjust the balance between grain supply and demand, stabilize grain market prices, and cope with major natural disasters. The significance of strategy is no less than that of the garrison frontier.

Moreover, based on the experience of later generations, Lu Chengqi set up a standing position, after all, it is different from the standing position recorded in history. Because Lu Chengqi knows that no matter how good the system is, without supervision, it will not be able to control people's greed just by relying on the so-called moral constraints. Don't you see, which big corrupt official is not full of poetry and books, smart and alert? If it weren't for that, they wouldn't dare stretch out their hands. Those who are simple-minded and extremely greedy have long been eliminated, and in officialdom, none of them are simple.

He Shen, the biggest corrupt official in history, is actually a very smart person, how can an unsmart person serve the emperor so that he knows that he is a corrupt official, but he has never punished him?

Closing positions has always been a breeding ground for corruption. At the beginning of the Dashun Dynasty, Taizu also thought about this problem. But in view of the unpredictability of people's hearts, if the descendants of the future generations are unscrupulous and cannot suppress the corrupt officials, then Dashun will be finished. For this reason, the good idea of closing positions was finally shelved.

Lu Chengqi's idea is actually very simple, if you want to subdue these officials who want to reach out, you must establish effective supervision. Supervision is not just a joke, routine inspections are necessary, and surprise inspections are essential.

In addition to inspection, it is also necessary to ensure the quality of food and other livelihood products, which cannot be shoddy. The quantity and quality of the account should be consistent with the fact storage, and there should be a special account book. Salt, grain, oil, and other items should be stored in special warehouses and should not be stacked together.

More importantly, this often closed position must pay attention to fireproof, waterproof, moisture-proof. In ancient times, fire-fighting equipment could only rely on water, and if there was a fire, no matter how much grain there was in the Changping warehouse, it would not be enough to burn.

In Lu Chengqi's holy decree, it is naturally not so detailed. However, the specific measures and how to implement them have already been communicated to the state capitals through the cabinet. The role of the cabinet became apparent at this time. Lu Chengqi's decree is only a general direction, and the cabinet's supplement is a specific explanation of Lu Chengqi's promulgation policy.

Not to mention, the will of the ancient emperors is sometimes really inexplicable, and a few words of the gods can drive people crazy, and they can't help but think about the crooked road. With the addition of the cabinet, it is much better, at least with an explanation, and the officials do not have to worry about meeting the wishes of the government, just do it.

Lu Chengqi originally thought that Li Jie, who had finished explaining his work, would leave here, but he didn't expect that this upright child seemed to have something to say. The way he wanted to speak and stopped making Lu Chengqi feel quite funny, and asked, "What, does Li Qing still have something to show to me?" ”

After Li Jie's fierce struggle in his heart, he finally relented, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister does have important things to do with Your Majesty!" ”

Lu Chengqi smiled: "Say it, I listen." ”

I saw Li Jie carefully take out a few pieces of rice paper from the sleeve of his official uniform, and did not pass through the hands of the inner servant, but held them with both hands and presented them to Lu Chengqi.

When Lu Chengqi saw him walking on thin ice, he also put away his smile and became serious. (To be continued.) )
