Chapter 800: Light and Darkness
It's not hard.
The centralized system has the advantages of a centralized system, and the democratic system has the shortcomings of the democratic system, and no matter how superior its supervision system is, it cannot avoid the fact that, like the Song Dynasty, it is difficult to have continuity in policies and procrastinate in handling affairs.
There are also many shortcomings of the centralized system, one of which is that absolute power brings absolute corruption.
This is where the root cause lies.
If you are resentful, you will not be able to reconcile with yourself. If it was an ordinary citizen, he could only stare dryly.
But understanding the root cause is no longer a problem for Zheng Lang.
Zheng Lang first said: "Everyone, let me introduce to you. ”
Introduce the five great Confucians to everyone.
stood up together and returned the salute, although the five gentlemen did not enter the official career, or the reputation and status of the official career were not obvious, but because of the writing of scriptures and meanings during this time, they were already regarded as five well-known figures in the Song Dynasty. After the introduction, Zheng Lang asked the five gentlemen to sit down. said: "I am deeply favored by the first emperor and have nothing to reciprocate, so I set up a workshop in the name of Jining Guan, which is actually for several princesses. ”
This matter is not disgraceful, but the act of loyal ministers, and everyone is bowing their heads.
Zheng Lang said again: "But I thought that the profits were too large, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was uneasy in her heart, so she discussed it with me and distributed it for the second time. The four princesses and their descendants, an average of 50% of the share deeds. As for the remaining 50% of the shares, the trust is entrusted to the College, and the College appoints a number of highly respected gentlemen to supervise and audit the accounts. First, because some things need money for research and development, and these research and development are carried out in the academy to facilitate management, and second, it is for this charity. ”
Some people already know some, and they will bow their heads again, as for the moral conduct of several gentlemen, there is no need to doubt it, for example, Shao Yongshu Zhao does not enter the official career, and he is so indifferent. Another example is Zhou Dunyi, who doesn't look at anything. Just look at what his Ai Lian said.
"How to distribute the profits of the fifty percent share deed, the first one is one percent, part of which has a special use, when the time comes, I will announce it to the world, and part of it is used to compensate the families of the martyrs who died on the battlefield to defend their homeland and defend the Great Song Dynasty. During this process, I will inform some state officials to make a list. Then send someone to investigate. Assign again. Then there is the next 40% of the dividends, which will all be injected into the charity association to do charity. ”
Zheng Lang first explained the distribution of the workshop's share deeds and the distribution of benefits, and then talked about the operation mode of the charity association.
The first step is to understand its mechanism and nature, it only plays a transit role, there can be no investment projects, once there is, then nothing can be said clearly. That is, a holding hand. If you enter this way, you must get rid of it quickly, and it will be reviewed four times a year, and each time it must not exceed three months. Consider and inspect in advance, and then quickly send the charity money or materials to the relief workers. As for whether there will be a balance left, there are so many poor people in the world. How much can I donate to generate a balance? Even if you can have 100 million yuan in your hands a year, if you want to do good deeds, it may not be enough. It's important to note that it's a charity, not a reinvestor.
The second is the disadvantage of the product of centralization, which may be more efficient, but it lacks transparency. Produces extreme corruption. It's a bit difficult to do in a big country, but it's not that hard to do in a charity meeting.
Make it transparent first, and then there will be no room for corruption. And then improve its supervision mechanism. Reduce the potential for corruption.
Hence the second step.
When it operates, it is necessary to distribute materials by hand, as well as deliberate, which requires money, so half of the money is taken out of the donation as a cost. In this regard, everyone is equally bowed, and it can be understood that the money and materials are not enough to reach the charity, and they must be sent to the relief people. It is impossible to have no cost, and half of the cost is reasonable. Secondly, clarify responsibilities and improve efficiency, just this half of the money, save it is the work members themselves, waste is tantamount to dereliction of duty, otherwise there is no room for floating, will form a serious waste. How wasteful, ordinary people don't know, but everyone who can sit in the seat knows very well.
As for the local deliberation and distribution, the custody of property will be replaced by one or two wealthy households with good reputation in each county. To further reduce costs, at the same time, these are good households, and they are good deeds, and they can rest assured that they can be presided over in the local area. As for supervision, it is the following arrangement. Then half of the donation will be subtracted and distributed to the nearest people. If one is in Cangzhou and the other is in Guizhou, the transit cost is not counted, and the beneficiary will not get the opportunity to be grateful at all.
The Zhang family gave out 1,000 yuan, deducted 50 yuan, 950 yuan for relief, and relieved Wang, Li, Zhao and Liu four households, and explained the name of the donor to Wang, Li Zhao and Liu to the four households, and then explained the whereabouts of his donations to the donor. It is not enough, after each relief, the name of the person who has received the favor in a county is marked together with the name of the person who has given the grace, the money is written, and it is posted outside the city gate or on the wall outside the county office.
This is transparency and supervision.
Let the benevolent person supervise, and if you are not at ease, you can send someone to ask, anyway, it will not be too far away, and then let all the people cooperate with the supervision. It can make the flow of funds open and transparent, but there is no lack of strict supervision mechanism. It will be better in the future generations, make a table and post it on the network regularly, and the running cost will be lower!
Of course, everyone wants to get a benefit from it, and that's impossible to execute. Just like the openness of officials' income, can it work?
There are also many benefits, as soon as the list is out, the people who give grace also have face in the township, I am good, and I have done good deeds, which will encourage more rich people to participate. If you are lucky enough to have one or two characters like Fan Zhongyan or Ouyang Xiu among the objects of grace, you will get an incomparable reward. There is a history, Zilu receives cattle, and Zigong refuses money. Zigong is noble, and there are a few people in Guan Jian who can reach Zigong's step in terms of ideology. The family has 100,000 yuan, it doesn't matter if he donates 100,000 yuan, he has the right to eat a meal, if he donates 10,000 yuan, can he do good deeds without leaving his name? You don't have to expect anything in return from the recipient, or a tablet for the incense master, at least you can get some praise in the township.
Also, the deeper reason will induce people to do good deeds, there are not many people who do not pay attention to conscience, and the benefactor is not far away, and the family will sell their sons and daughters in one breath. If you take a breath more, the family will get through the difficulties, and if you know the name and address of the benefactor, I believe that half of them will come to repay you. Some people donate countless incense money to the Bodhisattva, but they don't know after they die, but the Bodhisattva will not be grateful for this little money before his death, but this is a living standing in front of him to be grateful. There will be a sense of accomplishment somewhat. Since I can donate money. There will also be some conscience, and when they get this sense of accomplishment, they will be satisfied. Gradually, the social climate will be reversed.
It's actually really simple.
Although it will not be as easy as Zheng Lang said, Guo Meimei will definitely not appear.
It's a fly, but the egg is seamless or the slit is so small that the fly can stay in it? Flies are bad, but this egg is even worse, it's rotten, bad! The truth is as simple as that.
"Wonderful." One by one, they sighed. Actually, people who can come. I have done some good deeds, but they are all personal actions, and I have done them blindly. If there is a group to rely on, these things will not happen, and they will be listed in the county seat, and they will also have face. The people of the Song Dynasty also liked to form associations and groups. All kinds of associations, if you have this organization, you can have several grand gatherings a year, and all of them are meetings after doing good deeds, and you will be more glorious in the township.
Zheng Lang retreated.
He played only an organizational role and then avoided it. After all, selling one's name excessively is also a taboo of feudal rule. Not just avoided it himself. Zhao Niannu's mother and son and three little sisters also took the initiative to avoid it. He who can make a name for the dead, but the living must avoid taboos. The president is Shao Yong, who is from Luoyang, and he is very close to everyone. The vice president temporarily set up three people, and let these people elect themselves to serve as wealthy people with high moral standing.
Seeing Zheng Lang leaving, everyone was a little disappointed, Shao Yong cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, Zheng Gong is gentle and doesn't like to be idle, please forgive me." ”
It was said very implicitly, but none of them were fools, and when they heard it, no one mentioned it again.
Shao Yong asked a student to hold a thick account book and said: "This is the profitability of the workshop for more than a year. ”
Exactly from production to now, sixteen and a half months, the speed of development has been beyond Zheng Lang's expectations. In fact, it is also related to the blind gratitude of the people, some people read the benefits of Zhao Zhen, and saw that Zhao Zhen's harem was exiled by Zhao Shu one by one, and there were more sympathetic people, whether they could use it or not, they all bought some products and went back, hoping that Zhao Zhen's descendants could have a happy life. So the benefits are substantial. The R&D expenses are huge, and the benefits are greater, and all the costs are removed, and a total profit of more than 460,000 yuan has been made in the past 500 days.
And the momentum is on the rise.
Gradually, the various products of the workshop were spread throughout the country and overseas, including the Tibetan, Uighur, Khitan and Dangxiang, as well as the Goryeo, the Wa Kingdom, and even the merchants of the South China Sea and Dashi came to negotiate and buy, and brought them to the far west.
Not only itself, but also a number of by-added value, such as perfume, the source of alcohol, as well as various spices, but mainly a variety of floral fragrances, because of its appearance, the original Gyeonggi area flower industry is more developed. There is also the mining industry and so on.
There was even the destruction of the Wa Kingdom.
After coming to the Song Dynasty, the hatred for the Japanese country was not as heavy as in the previous life, but it would not have a good feeling. There was no way to fight, so there was a different way, and they traded on a large scale, exchanging fine items for gold and silver and timber of the Wa Kingdom. It doesn't take much to see if this trend continues, and it won't take two hundred years for the Japanese country to deteriorate completely. For the time being, the Wa Kingdom did not think that the large-scale trade would cause a false prosperity in the Wa State. Everyone had a great time, very good, very good. One more thing increases the rate of soil and water destruction.
If the Northern Song Dynasty is not extinguished and can successfully establish the country for two hundred years, then the Wa Kingdom will have no vitality. Without any means of war, they will be made to become the Kingdom of Guloulan.
"Congratulations to Your Highness," everyone cheered in unison.
Although I was wronged, with such a big profit, I finally made up for it a little. In fact, Zhang Fenger's nobles and Zhao Niannu were also shocked in the face of this gain. Zhang Feng's hands are a little bigger, Zhao Niannu's life has always been very frugal, why do I want so much money, anyway, the charity will be in the name of the emperor's heart and make a name for his father, so it is better to donate them too. Let Zheng Lang stop it in time. Don't donate. Theoretically, Li Gui's surname is Li, but he is a little fishy. If you take out your own dividends, it is not for Zhao Zhen to make a name, but for a few princesses and Li Gui, but it is not beautiful.
If you can't spend it, ask Zhang Feng Er to enter the palace, take out some of the money to buy gifts, and give them to Empress Dowager Cao and Gao Taotao. and the eunuchs in the palace, as well as some of the original concubines of Zhao Zhen who were wronged, as well as the children of the clan. Reduce their blush and let them say some good things on their behalf, as for Zhao Shu, it has become Zheng Lang's forgotten corner.
But this kind of hard care won't last long. Ten months!
Zhao Ji's ascension to the throne was successful. He is more conscientious, and Li Gui has no need to avoid suspicion, so Zhao Niannu can use this money as he wants.
Four achievements are forty percent.
Forty percent is also a lot of income.
But it's not a big head, everyone can collect firewood and flames, since they can be invited, not only have they usually done some good deeds, but their family property will not be bad, and those who don't have 50,000 yuan of family property are embarrassed to sit here. More than 500,000 yuan was donated on the spot. The fact starts in June. By the time Chinese New Year's Eve came, a total of nearly 3 million donations had been received from the four parties, and the scope of implementation ranged from the current south to Dengzhou, north to Mengzhou, west to Shaanxi, and east to Yingtianfu. It has expanded to Zhending Mansion in the north, Mizhou in the east, Jingzhao Mansion in the west, and Ezhou Jiangning and Hangyue in the south, benefiting nearly 100,000 households.
Its role is not only for disaster relief and poverty alleviation.
However, what will it grow in the end, Zheng Lang sees that the momentum is developing rapidly, and he is also curious to look forward to it.
The first donation reached more than 700,000 yuan. This is not a small number, it is higher than the country's annual tea income. Soon it spread to the Kyoshi.
The income of the workshop is also shocking. But think about it, and also accept the scope and the like, a Chinese New Year's Eve tens of thousands of earnings. There are only 100,000 yuan in hand, which is equivalent to raising four prime ministers or one of the eight kings.
A few decades later, the four princesses have become dozens of children and grandchildren, and even fewer can be shared. As for doing good deeds, Zheng Lang has always been very concerned about it when he entered politics. There is also a name for the first emperor, which is the loyal minister of the first emperor, you can understand. Moreover, after the establishment, Zheng Lang immediately retreated into the background.
But they didn't see that financial statement, a Chinese New Year's Eve tens of thousands of earnings? It will quadruple by next year.
Even if they saw it, they didn't have the energy to think about it at this time.
In late June, Zhao Shu issued an edict for officials of the two systems to discuss the ceremony of worshipping King Pu Anyi. The officials of the two systems are not stupid, they know Zhao Shu's heart when they hear it, and Wang Qi does not dare to write it. Tianzhang Pavilion to be controlled Sima Guang said: "You don't dare to write, I'll write it." ”
After brushing and writing, I saw Zhu Hanlin and said: "The country's finances are becoming scarce day by day." ”
What does state finance have to do with this?
After a while, everyone suddenly realized, and Wang Jue revised Sima Guang's draft and handed it to Zhongshu. said a lot of reasons, and then wrote, although King Pu Anyi has a natural affinity with His Majesty, Gu Fu's grace, but His Majesty is responsible for the crown, rich from all over the world, and the descendants of the descendants are all the virtues of the first emperor. The ministers and other ministers whispered that today, so worship the ceremony of King Pu Anyi, it is advisable to allow the first dynasty to give the period of pro-family stories, high-ranking officials and great powers, extremely respected. The prince of the country, the lady of Xiangguo, and the prince of Xianyou County were also renamed Mrs. Daguo. It is appropriate to test the ancient and modern.
Zhao Yunrang has the grace of birth and nurturing to the emperor, but it is the first emperor who really gives grace, Zhao Yunrang can give high-ranking officials a great power posthumously, King Zheng of Qin and King Chu do not care, even if the official is superimposed with several first-grade officials. But there is a bottom line, no matter how high-ranking officials are in a big country, they are courtiers and cannot be involved with the emperor.
Zhao Shu's heart is well known to passers-by.
This edict arrived in the middle book, and the middle book naturally objected, and said a word, Wang Qi and others did not see the details of what King Pu should call him, and whether he was named or not. That is, the relationship between King Pu and the emperor is not clear in this edict, and the name given is not a real name.
Wang Jue is a little cowardly, and made a step back, if so, Pu King Yu Renzong is his brother, and Emperor Yu should be called the emperor's uncle without a name, such as Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Chu, and Zhao Yuanyan, King of Jing.
At this time, everyone knew it, but no one could break the windows on this floor, the two systems didn't want to offend the emperor too much, and Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu still wanted to keep the last face. But the two systems do not back down, so the Chinese book is released, and if the emperor can't do it, it must be the emperor's uncle. This imperial exam is terrible, that refers to the dead emperor.
The two bigwigs have not yet come forward, and Lu Gongzhu took the lead in stopping it, and admonished: "Zhenzong takes Taizu as the emperor's uncle, and it must be added to King Pu." ”
How did Zhao Kuangyin die, the upper class has long been circulating, Zhao Kuangyi did this thing is a bit disgraceful, and Zhao Kuangyin is different, leaving a flower cluster of rivers and mountains to Zhao Kuangyi's father and son, but his sons are not allowed to die.
Zhao Zhen did not abuse Zhao Yunrang, but what did Zhao Yunrang do for his son and the Song Dynasty?
The speech has to be reasonable, and Lu Gong's words caused a chorus.
Seeing that it was not good, Han Qi asked Ouyang Xiu to come forward directly and say something. According to etiquette, the latter is reported to his parents. and the text of the case and the five service years and months; The latter was the death of his parents for three years. The latter is the period of decay of the parents, that is, the children who are born are called the parents. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and Guangwu both called their father the imperial examination. Now Wang Jue and others are called the emperor's uncle, and there is no clear evidence in the ceremony, so please go down to Shangshu Province, set the three provinces, and the imperial history platform to discuss.
After it was released, the first was the power of the two governments. The second is the emperor. Some people don't want to be rich, so they agree.
But more ministers were indignant.
Ouyang Xiu couldn't have made it clearer, not only the imperial examination, but also the imperial examination, which was to let the Song Dynasty have an extra emperor out of thin air.
Renzong has only been dead for less than two years, and the three-year mourning period has not yet expired. When the bones were cold, someone jumped out to usurp his position, which was unbearable. And Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu are the two of you, one is the prime minister. One is the No. 3 boss in Zhongshu, the No. 2 boss of the actual real power faction, who gave this to you, not the emperor, but the first emperor, how can you do such a shameless thing?
Posterity. These ministers insist that it is very abnormal, so why bother.
However, we cannot look at the mentality of the ministers now from a later perspective, which is related to the fundamental issue of a feudal state, etiquette and law. Even if Zheng Lang said that etiquette is the system, etiquette is still an important core of etiquette. With this name of etiquette, the emperor and his ministers can be in place in a clear and honest manner, and the people will not object. The powerful ministers did not dare to easily rebel and usurp the throne, so that the feudal country could be stable. In the past, Zhao Shu destroyed many systems of the Song Dynasty, such as the return of the prefix, such as the prime minister's must be surveyed and polished. It's not the core yet.
Now Zhao Shu has destroyed the core of the feudal state, and he is not in harmony with filial piety and the throne. The Song Dynasty is sealed or not alive, but can this emperor be sealed and played casually? Don't want the emperor, just a county king, look at Di Qing as the county king, what is Zheng Lang's opinion, he can't be sealed, it is a harm to the descendants of the Di family!
As for Zhao Shu's coolness, it goes without saying.
Empress Dowager Cao was also so angry that she vomited blood when she heard this, this child has been in her hands for nearly 20 years, why can't she see that he is a white-eyed wolf. was too lazy to talk to Zhao Shu, and directly scolded Han Qi for not discussing the imperial exam.
Han Qi didn't take this Tianzi No. 1 widow as a thing at all, and said that Wang Qi's discussion of the emperor's uncle was nonsense, as for whether it was the imperial examination or not, let everyone discuss it together. Zhao Shu was played again. The opposition is too strong, and the Empress Dowager Cao can't completely ignore it, so Zhao Shu issued an edict, everyone should not quarrel, and let Fan Zhen, a Hanlin scholar from Taichang Temple, decide Zhao Yunrang's name.
The ministers were even more sad and indignant, not to mention that Taichang Temple was an official of that family, and whether they dared to resist Zhongshu's order, but said that Fan Zhen, who didn't know that he was a staunch royalist, for Zhao Shu's reputation, even played eleven books, and his hair turned white. The entire Song Dynasty was white-headed, Zheng Lang was sad and white-headed, and Fan Zhen was white-headed to protect Zhao Shu. What good thing is it for him to decide?
But everyone thought wrong.
Fan Zhennai is a very stubborn person, he thought that it was right to establish the crown prince, so he stubbornly wrote the letter, not a royalist, but stubbornly believed that he was for the future of the country. In this matter, he also stubbornly believed that Han Qi had broken the national etiquette law. So he led the ceremonial officer to the letter. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty is the grandson of Emperor Zhao, and Emperor Guangwu is the ancestor of Emperor Ping, so his father Rong can be called the emperor's examination, but the speaker is still wrong, saying that he is a small sect and a large sect.
To put it very implicitly, is it the same situation? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed the crown prince Liu Ju, his family declined, and Liu Ju's grandson went into exile. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne and died early, Huo Guangli Emperor Wu Emperor Sun Liu He was the emperor, and he was absurd and unreasonable, so that Huo Guang was abolished, and then he found Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty as the emperor. It is right for Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to let his father take the imperial exam, but is Zhao Zhen Liu He? As for Han Guangwu, not to mention, one Western Han and one Eastern Han, can it be compared to the smooth transition from Zhao Zhen to Zhao Shu during this time? These two things cannot be regarded as stories (laws) at all.
I didn't say it directly, Ouyang Xiu, you are also a talented person, if you want to pass this case, please give a more accurate example, this example is unacceptable to me and unconvincing.
I can find it out, and look for it in the Sixteen Kingdoms, which are small divided countries that are not kingly, or the kingdom of the Hu people, but can that be a story?
He also said that since His Majesty now thinks that Renzong is the emperor's examination, then it is a wrong practice to establish Pu Anyi as the emperor, the emperor, and the emperor's examination, and to build a temple and talk about Zhaomu. In other words, unless the emperor, you are shameless, so you simply tear your face to the bottom and do not recognize Renzong as your adoptive father.
Does Zhao Shu dare? is to dare to tear his face, once he does not recognize Renzong as his adoptive father, can he, the emperor, still be recognized by the world? It is even possible that as soon as the front does it, some clan disciples will have ambitions to overthrow him.
Of course, the latter words did not dare to be said directly. Then he listed the etiquette, as well as the Han Confucian discussions, and the five edicts of Emperor Wei Ming, as arguments, especially Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming in the second year of Zhuge Liang's first attack on Wei, he issued an edict, saying: Li, the queen has no heirs, and if she chooses to build a branch to succeed the great sect, she should be orthodox and righteous, so why should you take care of your personal relatives! After Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Han Xuan added the title of Emperor to mourn the examination; Emperor Mourning was aided by foreign vassals, and Dong Hong and others were called to lead the death of Qin, confusing the dynasty, respecting the emperor, building a temple in Kyoto, and favoring the concubines, making it more than Changxin, Xu Zhaomu in the front hall, and four located in the East Palace, the arrogance is excessive, the gods and gods are blessed, rather than the admonition of the sinner Dan Zhongzheng, with the disaster of Ding and Fu Yanru. Since then, they have followed each other. Xiruwen rebelled, and the crime was caused by Father Xia; Song Guo is not a degree, ridiculed in Huayuan. It ordered the minister to have a division, and he took his actions in the past life as a warning. If the heirs are joined by the princes, they should be clear about the righteousness of the queen; Dare to be the evil guide of the time, vainly build an unrighteous name to do orthodoxy, say that the examination is the emperor, and call the concubine the queen, then the minister will be punished. The golden strategy of its book, the temple of Tibet, is written in the order.
Not only is it like Zhao Yun who can't be established as the emperor in this situation, but it is also wrong for Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to set up his biological father as the emperor.
This is the ceremony, this is the real story.
The most important thing is that this book with conclusive arguments was not privately handed to the Chinese book, but Fan Zhen openly led the officials to play it at the court meeting.
