Chapter 274: Old Greed
The two copies of the book quickly passed to Lu Yijian's hands, first the book signed by 10,000 people.
It's not a trivial matter, but Lu Yijian really doesn't know the drawbacks of the errand law. But he also went through many things, such as the tea law, it was under his auspices that Li Shi opened the prelude to the reform of the tea law, but it didn't take long for him to be disgraced by the old ministers led by the great Confucian Sun Zheng.
A heart is not dead.
and then to Zhao Zhen's pro-government, he neglected eight things, was in the court, plugged the evil path, banned bribery, distinguished the wrongdoers, never scolded women, alienated Xi, striked hard labor, and saved redundant expenses.
If he succeeds, is there any drawbacks in the Song Dynasty?
Zheng Dynasty Gang, expelled the Hou Party, maintained the status of the emperor, and stabilized the imperial power.
Plugging evil paths, never good behaviors, such as auspiciousness, flattery.
Prohibit bribery and put an end to corruption and bribery.
Distinguish between the loyal minister and the villain, this villain is not the kind of villain that the gentleman party says. The gentleman party is really a gentleman, except for destruction is destruction, in addition to defeat is defeat, this is a gentleman? It seems to be similar to what Huang Chao did them, except that Huang Chao didn't use their mouths, they didn't use pens, they used weapons. Or when it comes to quarrels, there are hundreds of women in Tokyo who are especially good at quarreling, are they also gentlemen?
He will not be such a gentleman, loyal ministers refer to people who are loyal to the emperor, for the emperor, for the Song Dynasty, willing to do anything, conscientious, for fear of tarnishing their name.
In fact, he did not have a good reputation in his life, but he did it that way.
It is precisely because of this loyalty that he has the essential difference between him and Ding Wei and others. Zheng Lang has never been very evil, although there are many things that also disgust Zheng Lang. is not a loyal minister, but a white-faced old minister who is loyal to the country.
Absolute daughters, women in the harem, you can raise a son for the emperor with peace of mind, and political affairs must not be verbose.
Near Xi, close Xi from the Book of Rites. Moon Order": "(Midwinter Month) Provincial Women's Affairs, No Silver, Although There Are Noble Relatives Approaching, There Is No Prohibition There. "Li Zhi's second son, Li Xian, is close to Xi's righteousness, and he is fortunate to be close to the villain. That is, to stay away from the villain.
After the strike, many Taoist palaces and temples should not be repaired anymore to support the people's livelihood.
Saving money, I didn't talk much to the emperor that night, but I said some. After all, the matter is still very high, redundant soldiers, redundant politicians, and redundant officials, all of which will cause endless controversy.
What is a reform, this is also a reform.
For example, Yao Yuan neglected ten things, and Li Longji accepted it, changed it, reformed it, and reformed it very well. It doesn't have to be like Wang Mang and Yang Yan to make the world boil in order to be considered reform.
Is it very clever and appropriate, if Zhao Zhen accepts it, he can further start the details.
But the next day the edict came down and released it by himself!
This is the consequence of your own ambition?
Later, he became a destroyer and a villain.
So we didn't talk about any reforms, only made further fine-tuning. Dare to move? If you move, you will immediately make Yanchen spray to death.
What kind of careful eye did Zheng Lang make, he couldn't see it?
And a book with 40,000 signatures and handprints?
Directly approved five words, what do you want? Suddenly thought of Shuzhou and Guangde Army, Hezhou and Wuwei Army, two too guarded in Hugan, which made him dislike, but it was better than Guangde Army and Shuzhou. The Guangde army was originally in the south of Taiping Prefecture, and the two states were adjacent to each other, so you have to learn from the experience of others, not guard the people. This is the Song Dynasty, not the Tang Dynasty, and the people are not allowed to move. What is Shuzhou Taishou doing? It is not right to confiscate everyone's property, and we cannot let the state's property do favors to everyone.
The golden mean!
Thinking about it this way, Zheng Lang is still good, although he disagrees with his political views.
I wrote another sentence: The deeds of the officials are presented in the Chinese book.
Then send it back to Taiping Prefecture by courier.
What do you want to do, just say, don't scare me with 40,000 households, I grew up, not scared. To put it directly, if it is reasonable, it will be passed, and if it is not reasonable, it will not be allowed. If you have the guts, you dare to incite 40,000 households to make trouble, see if you want to have your head!
It's very simple.
But as soon as the annotations of these dozen words were sent away, the second book was played in the capital.
The first book performed 40,000 signatures and fingerprints did not scare Lu Yijian, but the second book played Lu Yijian stumped.
The sugar workshop can be explained, but it is only one example, at that time, it was forced to resettle the victims, and the matter was urgent. But from the very beginning, the Rust Garden was established, and its surname was all official. It can also be said that it is a "special zone", and Taiping Prefecture can be arranged in any way before the imperial court accepts it, anyway, it is used as a demonstration.
And the ministers in the court have acquiesced.
For example, the circle of Wei allowed the imperial court to absorb some experience. Leave enough rivers and deep lakes, the former is for flood discharge, in order not to obstruct the navigation channels and flood channels of other states, and the latter is for water storage, the area is shallow, and it is easy to immediately transform into a polder, otherwise a lake dozens of feet deep is encircled, it is still a lake, and it is not allowed to be cultivated. The polder should be large, manned for protection, and easy to centralize management, and it is also worthy of the large polder embankment. The exchange of land for forced labor, the national and provincial funds for opening the polder, and the people get their land, which is convenient for both sides. Thinking of this moderation, Lu Yijian is very awkward, but he has to admit its benefits, and through it to regulate the relationship between large households and the poor, the contradiction will not intensify, and it is also in line with his ideology.
It's all good, and it's being promoted one by one.
There are also some that have been tacitly acquiesced, but have yet to be investigated, such as sugar cane and sugar mills.
However, it can be done in Taiping Prefecture, but it cannot be handed to the Zhongshu, and handing over the Zhongshu is tantamount to making the Zhongshu recognize this regulation.
If it's not you, how many prisons are there in the country?
Once the Chinese book is publicly approved, what kind of impact will it have if he imitates all of them? Why do you want to hand it in? Could it be that this kid has bad intentions?
I didn't think about it for a while, and handed it to Zhao Zhen, Your Majesty, you can do it.
Zhao Zhen opened it and took a look, Zheng Lang first said the reason, or said the tea law, the tea law has a maximum profit of 7 million guan, and now it is only 290,000 guan, there is no tea in Taiping Prefecture, and then there are both Xuanzhou and Shezhou, Zheng Lang heard about it, the people suffered from it, small and medium-sized tea merchants accepted their shortcomings, and there were many dissatisfactions, and the ministers were afraid that Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun would happen again.
This is over, Wang Xiaobo Li Shun uprising has a number of reasons, one is that the Song Dynasty killed too many people in Shu, the behavior was brutal, and the Shu people have always been dissatisfied, the second is that there was a slight disaster at that time, gathering many displaced people, and the third is to reform the tea law, Wang Xiaobo is not a poor person, but a small business tea, the interests are damaged, so he instigated the refugees to revolt. The surname of the uprising is different from the Fang La uprising, the Fang La uprising is that the people can't get by, not the homeless, although Fang La himself is a god stick plus a landlord. But the two did different things, Fang La's uprising was purely nonsense, no less than Huang Chao's cannibalism, but Wang Xiaobo shouted the slogan of equal wealth and poverty. The result was also different, although Fang La was brutal, it dealt a heavy blow to the corrupt regime of Song Huizong. Whether Wang Xiaobo is kind or not, it has created Li Jiqian's growth. It was his uprising that brought a heavy burden to Zhao Kuangyi's imperial court, and he did not encircle and suppress Li Jiqian again, leaving the root of the party.
But the intention of reforming the tea law is good, why did the peasants rebel when they came down?
It is also thought-provoking.
Going on again, the Jin Rust Prison was originally for the benefit of the imperial court, and it was to make money for the imperial court, and it was clear that the imperial court was so short of expenses, so there was no need to be embarrassed. I'm presiding over Qingming, but I can't stay in Taiping Prefecture forever, and I don't have this rule, it's been almost three years, and how many years can I stay? If there are officials who don't know how to operate, not only will they not make profits for the court, but they will even be greedy for ink, harsh on the people, and harsh on small businessmen, and anything can happen. In the future, not only will I not become a money-making machine for the imperial court, but will become a machine for the common people, just like the tea law.
Not only that, but also send officials to operate, and increase redundant officials. In short, as Zheng Lang said, the officials below are rotten to the point that they can't be rotten anymore. It's not that serious, but if a bad Zhizhou comes over, it is true that anything can happen.
After a little reform, it will be like a sugar workshop, four or five points to the imperial court, five or six points of deed shares to the merchants, the court only needs to send a small official to take care of it, and the rest is run by the merchants. Not only is it not harsh to the people, but it will also be run by the most expert people, and the court will benefit from it. As long as he sells his deed shares immediately, he can raise more than 100,000 yuan. Anyway, it was conjured out of nothing, and it was worth it with these hundreds of thousands.
Zhao Zhen looked at the dazed eyes, and asked, "Lu Qing, what do you mean?" ”
It's definitely not like this, but Lu Yijian didn't guess Zheng Lang's intentions for a while, and replied honestly: "The minister thinks it's impossible." It doesn't come out of nothing. ”
"Tell me."
For all kinds of Taiping Prefecture, the minister also thought about it, and the original name of the Jinrust Prison was Jinrust Yuan, which was also intended to be used by Zheng Zhizhou to improve the silk weaving technology in the south of the Yangtze River, and at the same time to be an example. So he set up this prison. From beginning to end, the scale is not very large, and the technology is not kept secret, and it is open to domestic businessmen to send people to observe and learn. Later, because of the grass cotton, the scale of the grass cotton may be very large, and it was merged into the Jinrust Prison again, and the prison became larger. ”
"Well, let's talk about it."
Zheng Lang invented several kinds of machinery, and also invited more than a dozen clever craftsmen from Hebei to innovate, so quilts and cotton cloth appeared. Innovation and machinery alone are far from enough, and it just so happens that His Majesty has released a large number of Weaver Girls. These weaver girls were highly skilled, so the cotton cloth that came out of the prison was beautifully made, and although it did not make much profit, it would become considerable after the autumn. It's also a kind of there. ”
Lu Yijian also felt that his words were reluctant.
At that time, these weaver girls were released from the palace, and it was only because His Majesty was frugal and saved the expenses of the inner palace that they were released. The court is still worried about how to settle down, not a treasure, but a hot taro. As a result, Zheng Lang took over all of them, and now they are all treasures.
Without these weaver girls, there would be no former Brocade Rust Garden, and now there is no Brocade Rust Prison. In fact, it is equivalent to turning waste into treasure.
Zhao Zhen bowed his head and pondered.
Selling hundreds of thousands of dollars is good in Taipingzhou, but it is nothing in the imperial court. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Are the officials below really corrupted like this?" ”
"Your Majesty, not necessarily, since ancient times, there are good and bad, but when it comes to the way of doing business, officials are indeed not as good as business."
"So this is possible?"
"Your Majesty, no, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, not cane sugar, if you have money, you can't eat without money. This prison is a prison of clothing, and once the court openly allows it, other prisons will inevitably compete to imitate it. Even if you make a profit and hand it over to a merchant for trusteeship, the price will be higher, and look at that kind of rock sugar, the price of Taiping Prefecture is only 90 wen per catty, and now the capital is 600 wen per catty. Your Majesty, please think again. ”
This idea is wrong.
For the time being, once the amount is large, the number of squares is opened, in addition to the brand, like Taipingzhou because it does not produce good cane, it is good to be able to sell it for 100 yuan per catty.
But it's not that Lu Yijian is not smart, and there are limitations of the times, such as shipping, and the imperial court actually didn't let the merchants of the Song Dynasty trade with the Khitans, and it was wrong to make their money? It's just wrong, the more the Khitans wanted to get the goods of the Song Dynasty, the more they didn't sell them to them.
Why?
In the Song Dynasty, it became a recognized truth.
It was still shipping, and the management of the Song people going to sea was very strict, until the Southern Song Dynasty was forced to be helpless, and it was gradually relaxed. As a result, the Song Dynasty is now not an exporter, but an importer. Why? Similarly, it has become reasonable to shout that there is not enough money on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has artificially caused a large outflow of copper coins.
"Then it's not allowed for the time being, and we'll see the aftermath."
"Whoa."
After getting Zhao Zhen's instructions, Lu Yijian replied, I didn't say it, you don't want to mess with me, it was His Majesty who said it, not allowed, and look at it.
But Zheng Lang doesn't care, this is a small attack, and it is also a temptation.
After seeing the reply, Zheng Lang was silent. It's better to take smaller steps and save trouble. But another thing is honestly and unceremoniously echoed. It's not what I'm going to do, it's what the people think. As soon as I arrived in Taiping Prefecture, the family of the servant stall knelt down and pleaded with me, and then pleaded for help more than a dozen times.
You can make a small attempt.
For example, the money for exemption from service is levied in several classes, and those who are from fourth-class households are not included in the imperial court's errands, but it has become a rule for the imperial court to levy them. This is something that Lu Yijian does not dare to deny, if even the fourth-class households are not levied, the imperial court will not be able to gather so many errands.
The top is redundant, and the bottom is also redundant.
Therefore, starting from the fourth-class households, each household is levied a tassel of money a year, but there is a condition that is mentioned first, the fourth-class households are completely self-cultivated farmers, and they are divided into several classes, and some people can only maintain food and clothing, and then levied a tassel of money, and it is possible that because of this levy, the situation will be immediately lowered. Before the levy, it is necessary to send someone to investigate, in addition to taxes, hired short-term labor, farm tools and cattle loss, in addition to the loss of taxes, hired short-term labor, farm tools and cattle, can be levied on households that can earn more than 20 cents. That is, only the middle and upper households in the fourth-class households can levy this money, and it is one out of twenty, and the burden is not heavy.
and then to the third-class households, they are the households that must be levied by the imperial court, those who are in poor circumstances need to pay five taels of money per year, and those who are in good circumstances need to pay ten taels of money. A battle is already very light compared to counting money. It's ten taels of money, and it's not a burden for third-class households. In fact, the most bitter is the third, fourth and fifth class households, which are not in a good situation, and they are not up or down, but they have become the main force of the errand service, so they are the most hard.
Second-class households, twenty and forty. First-class households, 80 to 160 yuan.
didn't do it like Wang Anshi, if you have an annual income of 100,000 yuan, take one out of 20, don't you want 5,000 yuan? Can a large family not object?
This is not a wolf tooth, but a wolf hair, and that's it, if it is popularized throughout the country, there will be a lot of opposition. Those who can pay 160 yuan are the most top-notch households, and there will be no more than 10 households in the entire Taiping Prefecture. Maybe they can spend a few hundred taels of silver for a meal in a luxury hotel in the capital, but if they are asked to pay 160 yuan to the imperial court, they will immediately be miserable.
But they can cry out some grievances, but they can probably tolerate it.
Then he said, this is for the convenience of the people, not for the sake of money. Once it becomes a tool for the imperial court to collect money, the consequences are unimaginable.
Income varies from state to state, and so do standards. For example, there are a large number of archers in the border states, and the income is embarrassing, and if the exemption law is enforced, it will be very disturbing.
The situation of large households in different states is different, for example, the background of large households in Taiping Prefecture is simple, not some other state capitals, and it is easy to implement. Therefore, no matter how well Taiping Prefecture does, the imperial court cannot be used as an example to popularize, even if it is popularized, it must also think twice.
Those who have been exempted from military service must strictly enforce the exemption. Don't be like some state capitals, the state reforms the new laws and new taxes, and the old laws and old taxes are removed, but when it comes to the localities, the new taxes are collected, the old taxes are collected, and the people are even more unbearable.
When the money is collected, the standards are different. For example, the errand officer, a official, these officials are always said to be in the official office, but they have real power, which is the most popular among large families. It is to abolish the errand service, and the big households are happy with it and will not let go. The light ones will complain, and the heavy ones will be inappropriate, and the second-class subsidies can be given, such as Taiping Prefecture will give them 50 yuan per person per year. The second is the front of the ya, these people are the most bitter, serving the officials, circling in the township, especially the people who keep the warehouse, they lose their accountability, and when they mention the management of things, they smell the color and change color, and they are afraid of them like tigers. Or a business trip thousands of miles away, and it takes months to go back and forth. The money also needs to be the heaviest. Each person ranges from 50 to 80 yuan, and those who manage things make up for 20 yuan, and those who go out on business will be given an allowance. The three are called the head of the household, the archer and the strong man. The head of the elderly household is the lightest and the most numerous, and he only needs to give 20 yuan to assist the government every year. The archers Taiping Prefecture is an inland land, and there is no need for it. But there are strong men, who often escort goods to long distances, but they do not serve in the township all year round, and forty times a year is enough. Fourth, it is said that the disbanding of service, such as Gu Fu, loose officials, manpower, diggers, scales, and ferries. Some festivals are convenient for the people, and they are abolished, such as ferrying, which is thrown at the entrance of the village, and the people pay one or two documents for the transition, and the government does not set it up. Some are necessary, such as Gu Fu, and the officials must urge the official tax through them and issue orders, such as scales, which need to be used to weigh and levy grain. This is again divided into permanent and non-permanent ones. Gu Fu must be permanent, and something will be passed on immediately. Scales are only used in summer and autumn for tax purposes. Therefore, the use of money does not equal.
However, the number is still staggering, and Taiping Prefecture needs to use more than 700 errand servants, and 200 temporary errands, which requires nearly 40,000 yuan.
How much money can be levied, there is no mention.
However, Lu Yijian made a rough calculation, if it continued to develop like this, Taiping Prefecture alone could levy more than 70,000 yuan of exempt money tax.
This also understands Zheng Lang's intentions, which is a special case and cannot be imitated by other states.
In a state capital with less than 50,000 households, there will immediately be more than 30,000 households of the fourth class or above, and this proportion cannot be compared with the two prefectures of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
If you want to collect taxes, you must at least have money and income for the people to collect them, and only then can they collect them without complaining.
I was still very careful, and I said a lot of difficulties, and I also said that other states must think twice before they want to imitate. This attitude made Lu Yijian cry and laugh, all the new gadgets came out of your hands, why are you so cautious?
In the end, I said one thing, the box soldiers, this year there is no longer a Taiping Prefecture, you can put some special officials, these officials not only give them money, but also send people to teach them to read some words, so that they can memorize the important laws and regulations of the imperial court. It can also be said that they are law enforcers, and law enforcers do not know the law and do not understand the law, so what has become of them? Not only teach them to read and write, but also teach them the skills of arching horses and coping with emergencies. In the past, the officials must be unwilling, maybe they are doing things in their hands, thinking that they have a stable source of income and can support their families, so they can do things with peace of mind and practice martial arts.
With this one, there is the next one, and the van soldiers are all wasted. The imperial court can set up a few special forbidden troops in Jiangdong, and they have already set it up, and when something happens, stop it immediately, or slow down its spread, and wait for the imperial court reinforcements to come.
In fact, except for the border army, even the village soldiers, these forbidden soldiers can't be counted on at all. Raising it is equivalent to raising it for nothing, let alone a van soldier. But it didn't say.
Be careful, and thoughtful.
But he ridiculed again, the imperial court sat on more than one million troops, nearly 500,000 servants, plus more than 20,000 officials, almost one person from the ** household, let me ask if the previous dynasty had one?
Lu Yijian smiled bitterly and discussed Zheng Lang's performance before the Chinese book.
It's not one or two workshops, but a system, although Zheng Lang has repeatedly said that it is only the state affairs of Taiping Prefecture, not the popularization of surnames in the country, but once the book is allowed, then there will inevitably be other states to follow suit, which will have a series of consequences.
But the Chinese officials could not decide.
The matter was too important, and it was handed over to Zhao Zhen again.
Zhao Zhen had no choice but to gather the officials of the East and West Governments, the Six Ministries and the Three Divisions in the palace to discuss together.
First, he asked, "Is the errand so corrupt?" ”
If it is not corrupted, how can it be that there are 40,000 households and 40,000 households jointly signed a letter?
Officials can't speak.
Zhao Zhen stood up and took two steps, these two twists and turns made him very disappointed, one said that the officials were governed [***], and the other said that the servants were corrupt. However, after sitting down and thinking about it, it is impossible without errands, even if Zheng Lang's small abacus is so shrewd, he still needs nearly a thousand errands. And besides, other states.
said: "Zhuqing, is it okay to be exempted from military service with money?" ”
Lu Yijian immediately said: "It's not proper, Your Majesty, take a look, how many fourth-class households there are in Taiping Prefecture, and when the harvest comes up after the autumn, the proportion will reach seventy, and other states are incomparable, so it is possible to use money to replace the service." If other states imitate it, the consequences will be unimaginable. In this recital, Zheng Lang also mentioned it many times. ”
"Why can't he do it?"
Lu Yijian can't say, not every official can be talented, change yourself, stay seriously for three or four years, and you will also build a peaceful state capital. But how many people can reach such a level?
If that were the case, the prosperity of the Song Dynasty would have arrived long ago.
Suddenly, I thought of another person, and another person also has the talent to govern, why did he go against himself after he arrived at the court?
"Let him try, if it doesn't work, he will withdraw."
"Whoa." This is also in line with Lu Yijian's idea, rejecting one of them, and rejecting one of them, he is also afraid that Zheng Lang will become his own opposition below. I heard that his "The Mean" is about to be completed, and once it is finished, it will also be influential. He is against himself, and if there is another Fan Zhongyan, his head will be very big.
Then I thought from time to time that this son is indeed talented, and his future seems to be brighter than his own.
This point is very optimistic, one is to be careful, the second is to take into account, the third is talent, and the fourth is learning, with these four, the future is far more ambitious than Fan Zhongyan, of course, if you grow fast, it is far greater than the danger that Fan Zhongyan brings to herself.
Shaking his head, this rise is too fast.
After this discussion, there is one more discussion.
That's the candidate.
The intellectuals of the Guangde Army have governed the territory in a mess, and the population loss has not reflected, and they are still complaining that they are going to be replaced. This time, not only Zheng Lang was credited to Taiping Prefecture, but also other officials. I'm actually tired and dizzy, just with this job, who doesn't reuse and reuse?
Replace Guangde Zhijun with Zhao Tong's sentence, Shuzhou's Zhizhou is not good, he thought of a person, Liu Xin, this person is the eighth year of Tiansheng's list, he has been sentenced to Shuzhou, there is a big prison for years and years, and he is decided. Zhang Xian Empress Dowager dedicated the Empress Dowager to build the Holy Floating Map, the inner servant Zhang Huaixin coerced the edict, the supervision was severe, and the state was about to move and did not dare to come out, and Zhang Huaixin was forced to play. So he moved too often and went out of Hengzhou. After arriving in Hengzhou, he had political achievements.
He knew about Shuzhou, and he happened to be transferred back to Shuzhou. It's terrible that he doesn't know about the circle, that Wuhu Wang County is good, and it is the main circle-wei county, and he is good at guarding, and he can be promoted according to his merits, and he will be sentenced to Shuzhou. One is a capable minister, and the other is a cadre, otherwise Shuzhou will be in such a stalemate, and there will really be a civil uprising.
That's the following thing, but when it comes to the gentleman's mouth, it will become the prime minister's fault.
Not only that, but all states have such and such small incidents because of the encirclement. He is not very confident about the quality of this polder, once the polder is broken, hundreds of families will suffer losses, and even kill people. Thirty people were selected from the list of officials handed over by Zheng Lang and served as officials in the prefectures of Jiangdong.
He also believes in Zheng Lang's vision, and leads by example, fighting on the front line with these officials, and will understand these officials. And meritorious work will be rewarded, and when it is time to reward.
As for this draw, what will become of Taiping Prefecture, Lu Yijian doesn't care, you have the right to train a group of capable officials for the country. But he was still very cautious, and sent Tanhua Yang Cha to Taiping Prefecture to serve as a general judge, Li Zhongshi as a judge, Cai Ting as a county commander, and Zhong Ne and Shi Xunzhi as military officers.
These people are all Jinshi of the same class as Zheng Lang, and they are also the best among them.
But the intention is not only that, Zheng Lang will be transferred sooner or later, but the mess in Taiping Prefecture is afraid that others will not be able to take over. Therefore, the best of the five new jinshi were transferred to train future successors.
Lu Yijian's intention was very simple.
The bigwigs will know as soon as they look at his list, and no one will object.
Not only Lu Yijian, but Wang Zeng saw that Jiangdong was wantonly encircling Wei, and he was also worried about it, and he was afraid that something would happen.
With these expert officials scattered in the states, it can also play a helping role. After all, it has been circled for three years, and there are nearly 30 large and small polders, including large and small polders, rich in experience.
Zheng Lang's term of office is also close to three years, and it is impossible to stay in Taiping Prefecture for six or seven years, and it does not conform to the rules of the imperial court.
However, after this order was issued, it was quickly reciprocated, but this reward made Lu Yijian cry and laugh.
After the first lunar month, a cadre of officials in Taiping Prefecture was so tired that they were about to lie down, and they also waited for the good news, and more than 30 people were promoted at once. There are more than a dozen people who were originally just on errands, but because of their merits, they have become errands. Of course, one by one is happy. There are still many officials, but it's still early, and there are still merits in the future, and they can continue to rise.
Things are finally getting easier.
In mid-February, the sugar mill stopped. If there is cane, it will not be squeezed, and when spring comes, cane begins to [***], and even if the sugar is squeezed, it will produce a strange smell. The polder is also circled. There are still busy, but not sugarcane, sugarcane is not allowed to be carried, delaying food production, and letting them grow cotton to compensate. The craftsmanship of the weaver girl, new things, has increased the added value and also increased the purchase price. But it will not be long-term, once there are more planters, the price will inevitably fall, but at that time, cotton adapts to the local climate, and the yield gradually keeps up. It is almost five or six times different from the yield per mu in later generations, and it is impossible to match it, so let's see if it can be increased by two times. Once it is doubled, even if the price falls, the gain is still substantial.
The first good news was delivered to the capital.
The profit of the sugar mill reached 630,000 yuan, and it also generated more than 30,000 yuan in taxes, which were received in the summer and sent to the capital by messengers. But first, the proceeds of the workshop will be sent.
That's a good thing.
But there was another one later, because the workshop was the owner of the deed shares, and borrowed 120,000 yuan to the Wuwei Army and Hezhou. To deduct the 120,000 yuan, and explain the process roughly. It has nothing to do with me, it is the deputies themselves who voted for it.
It's not bad, after deducting this money, there are still 24,000 yuan. At the same time, there are also copied account books.
The list is in the account books, it is very clear and clear at a glance.
But the deputies actually erased the will of the imperial court to lend money to the two states?
Are we stupid idiots?
I handed this fold to Zhao Zhen again, whether it was right or not, I don't evaluate, Your Majesty, you can do it.
Zhao Zhen is also ridiculous, but he is more in favor of Lu Yijian in his heart, the big family is the interest of the big family, he is the emperor, the whole world is his home, the poor are his people, the big family is his people, the big family can live without these fields, and the poor people can't live without these fields. If he didn't think about the consequences, he would also want to rob the rich and help the poor. Therefore, I admire Ma Zhizhou and Huang Zhijun very much, so I just do it, but I dare not say that I support you.
With this money, both states will be able to weather this year.
He also realized that it was not very good, and said: "I have made a decree for me, this matter has already happened, so I will put an end to it, and no similar thing will happen in the future." After all, it was created in the imperial court, and although the merchants had expedient business rights, they were not allowed to embezzle this money casually. ”
"Whoa." Lu Yi said. If you are dissatisfied, what should you do? This fold was submitted, and the money was distributed to the poor households early, did the imperial court send someone to ask for it back?
Everything is this damn "joint venture" system, which is new and incomplete, allowing Zheng Jiazi to drill loopholes.
But then the king was in trouble.
Be at the end of one's forbearance.
Let Fan Zhongyan attack again and again, and Lu Yijian is safe. The courage is also getting bigger and bigger, and the power in his hands is to build the city's favor, that is, his personal favor, and to the courtiers, forming a party and dictatorship.
There are many ministers in the court who can't stand it, but if one is engraved, one will be degraded, there is no way, including Du Yan, a direct minister like Du Yan asked Wang Zeng, you are a pillar of the country, if you want to say it, Lu Yijian can't develop like this.
Wang Zeng made some hints in private, but it was not when he first became the prime minister, when Lu Yijian would be afraid, and at this time, Lu Yijian did not take him in his eyes, and there was a lot of slackness in his words. Wang Zeng was so angry that for the sake of the country, the two sides quarreled and set a bad precedent, so he had to beg to go. Seeing him begging, Lu Yijian also begged.
Wang Zeng thought of other things about Lu Yijian, at that time, Lu Yijian also recommended Sun Shixun as the prime minister, can Zhang Shixun be the prime minister? Then he pushed himself to be the prime minister, he did a good job as prime minister, how could the emperor let him step down? At this time, he deliberately begged to stop.
Are these means shameless or not shameless?
Real people are shameless, trees are not barked, helpless, for this unkillable praying mantis spirit, others have no way to deal with it, let's die together.
One of the two wanted to be released, and the other asked for it, Zhao Zhen was suspicious, called Wang Zeng, and asked what is the reason, is it because you are not satisfied with being a sub-phase?
Wang Zeng said: "Lu Yijian recruited Quan Shu City to form a party, and accepted the bribe of Wang Jiming, the governor of Qinzhou, but the minister couldn't bear it, so he asked to be released." ”
Zhao Zhen was angry when he heard it.
He suddenly thought of Zheng Lang's advice to himself, and asked Wang Zhaoming to bring it back, as long as it was a party, it should be extinguished. No matter what kind of direct ministers can be ministers, last year I thought he was talking about Fan Zhongyan and others. However, it seems that it is not, otherwise it would be impossible to accept Fan Zhongyan's two sons as students.
Although I am in the palace, I have heard some things, and some ministers have seen them hotly, and asked someone to bring a letter to Zheng Lang, I have a son in my family, and I worship his disciples. wouldn't say that, it was very implicit, but Zheng Lang refused it all. But as soon as he received it, he made an exception and sent it so far, and when he arrived at Heishazhou, he almost went out of the state border of Taiping Prefecture before returning, how can it be said that he was evil to Fan Zhong?
It turns out on this festival!
As for bribery, that's trivial, acquiescing.
So he asked Lu Yijian.
At that time, Lu Yijian was blindsided.
If you don't argue, you will acquiesce, and if you acquiesce, you will be dismissed. If they quarrel, they will quarrel, and if they quarrel with Yah, they will be dismissed.
In a hurry, I didn't argue or argue, and only asked one sentence: "Wang Xianggong, you said that I formed a party to bribe, where is the evidence?" ”
Wang Zeng didn't bother to answer, what we are learning is you, what do you use evidence if you want to harm others! Go down to you.
Just because he doesn't speak doesn't mean that others don't speak, Cai Qi took the opportunity to tell Lu Yijian some "illegal" things one by one.
Song Shou was not convinced, he couldn't say that, Lu Yijian was very good, he had worked hard all night in the past few years, and the country quickly came out of the disaster and did a lot of practical things, and he couldn't be wronged. Especially for bribes, does Lu Yijian want to accept some small money from his subordinates?
The noise was so noisy that Zhao Zhen couldn't stand it, so he had to give up all four of them.
This is a big thing that happened.
In fact, things have developed to this day, first, the matter after the abolition caused the Junzi Party to be dissatisfied with Lu Yijian, and second, Pang Ji was embarrassed by Fan because of Shang Meiren. As a result, the six most capable ministers of the Liu E Dynasty, Wang Shu has died, Li Di has been decentralized, and now Song Cai, the king of Lu, has also been delegated...... Zhao Zhen was very cool, but soon found that he had no one available, and someone had to work. After thinking about it, I chose a group of people, this group of people can't be young, young people are easy to be impulsive, and middle-aged people can't. The older you are, the better, so that you can be calm and kind.
A group of kind-hearted old men were selected to serve as prime ministers, 65-year-old Wang Sui and 75-year-old Chen Yaozuo were appointed as Pingzhangshi, 66-year-old Han Yi and 66-year-old Shi Zhongli and 50-year-old Cheng Lin were appointed as governors, 70-year-old Sheng Du was appointed to the Privy Council, and 60-year-old Wang Yi was also informed of the Privy Council.
Looking at the character of these people, Wang Sui lent Zhou Huaizheng fifty taels of silver and confessed to leniency. It's possible that it's just one day's wage!
When this person is the prime minister, will he quarrel and teach the emperor a lesson?
Chen Yaozuo is a senior, a three-way scholar, two champions, Zao Wang Zeng six lists, Li Di seven lists, will such an old man be stable?
When Fan Zhongyan appeared in "Hundred Officials", he pulled out the ministers of the Lu family one by one, and at the same time recommended Han Yi to be promoted, the reason was not to attach to the party, but Han Yi did not appreciate it, saying that I am not the Lu party, nor the Fan party, I am me, and I am His Majesty's courtier. Is such a minister intimate?
But when he heard about this appointment, Zheng Lang suddenly compared Lu Yijian with Fan Zhongyan's employment, and then he was gloomy, his ambition Lu Yijian was not as good as Fan Zhongyan, and his virtue was even worse than 108,000 miles, but Fan Zhongyan was far inferior to Lu Yijian, and the gap between the two was just like the gap between them in morality. Not only did they see Han Yi wrong, but there were many, many people who saw it wrong...... Cheng Lin is not easy to evaluate, he is a normal human being.
Then to Shi Zhongli, this person's father is the famous Shi Xizai, but his life is very pale, or he is very funny, once he went to the South Imperial Garden (Royal Zoo) to see the lion, the garden servant said that he would eat five catties of meat every day, and a small official muttered, we people are not as good as lions? Shi Zhongli said, we are wolves outside the park (Yuanwailang), how can we compare the lions in the garden, and everyone will fall together. After becoming the prime minister, he was still not in shape, someone persuaded him, his expression was very innocent, and he took out Zhao Zhen's edict, saying that the edict can be used by the official to participate in political affairs, and the rest is the same, as before, this is what the emperor asked me to continue to do. and fell again. One day, Sheng Du took a copy of the fold to submit, he grabbed it, and asked who wrote it, Sheng Du unintentionally replied, Du wrote, guessed, and everyone fell again.
As for Wang Hao, Cao Wei said to him, you must pay attention to Li Deming and Yuan Hao, I didn't think so, Yuan Hao was opposed, and Zhao Zhen asked about side affairs, but he couldn't be right. A whole muddle. But the soy sauce hit the level, and it actually became the prime minister.
Sheng Du is also a non-human, Shi Zhongli laughed at him, and he was not angry. Because he was too fat, he came out of the front of the palace as soon as he was in front of the palace, after the prime minister, this was not right, I didn't know at first, I suddenly saw it, I had to walk a hundred steps in a hurry, I was in a hurry, I was fat, I was out of breath, Shi Zhongli came again, asked, Xianggong asked no, Sheng replied, don't ask, suddenly remembered, scolded, you deliberately saw me panting and scolded me for being a cow. I'm not angry. has a big belly, and he can't be broken, and some people criticize him for doing it deliberately, but he is still not angry. Sure enough, the belly is also big.
This group of old people should make Zhao Zhen worry, right?
Seeing the dispute between the prime minister and the prime minister, Zhao Zhen played a cautious eye again, Wang Sui and Chen Yaozuo did not mention who is the prime minister and who is the prime minister, they are all ordinary affairs, whether it is possible to create a harmonious court.
However, soon Zhao Zhen's suffering will come, and the darkest court in his life is about to appear.
You should read the words written by Confucius, when you are young, your blood is undecided, and your precepts are in color; and its strength, the blood is strong, and the ring is fighting; and his old age, the flesh is declining, and the abstinence is in it. Soon, this group of peaceful old men let Zhao Zhen know what it means to be insatiable.
First of all, there was the prime minister's dispute, Zhao Zhen didn't want to be the prime minister, because he was afraid of quarrels, but the quarrel was even worse. Look at the age, look at the senior, I Chen Yaozuo is always better than you Wang Sui. As for ability, not to mention, the two are about the same, around this time Zheng Lang entered the East Mansion, and there may be a better chance than them.
Lao Wang was not convinced, there is an edict as evidence, I am in front, I am the prime minister.
So the two pinched when they met, got angry when they finished pinching, got sick when they got angry, and asked for leave when they got sick. There is no way, life is rare for seventy years, two elderly people, in this era, how difficult it is to live to this point. Zhao Zhen had no choice but to allow them to ask for leave, and the special edict king took a vacation for five days, and went to work once every seven days, not to mention Chen Yaozuo, I was not Ben Seven, but Ben Eight. Zhongshu became a nursing home.
It's not over yet, we are old, and we have to think about future generations, there are many children in the family, it is rare to become the prime minister, and if the opportunity is missed, it will not come again, so I am promoted, my son has an official, and my grandson has an official, but it still doesn't work, it's too thin, so my relatives have officials, my friends have officials, and my guests have officials.
We are old, and we want to live a few more years, this is not up to our own decision, I want the gods in the sky to give Yang Shou, Wang Sui took the lead, Yan Na Taoist monks, believe in witch wishes, what is there to talk about outside, I have lived to this age, and I have seen everything.
Chen Yaozuo was slightly better, but let his son suddenly rise from the prison gate Zuozang Kuku envoy to six or seven levels, and become a three-door shipping envoy.
Han Yi is even more absolute, I am a governor of political affairs, and I can make up for my son. It's not too much, Zhao Zhen asked, you can't make up for that son, he has a lot of sons. You can't make up for it. Han Yi said, we want to make up for our son Han Zong as the judge of the herdsman. The request is not excessive, Zhao Zhen is allowed. The edict was issued, but within two days, Han Yi came to invite him again, and we regretted it.
What do you regret?
The minister regretted that he should not let my son Han Zong serve as the envoy of the three gates, this position is the most suitable for my other son, Han Gang.
Zhao Zhen was dizzy, and asked involuntarily, but the edict of your son Han Zong's appointment has been issued.
That's fine, you can let him change to the governor of Taiping Prefecture.
Too...... Flat...... State...... Know...... State, you ...... True...... Decide?
