Chapter VII The Beginning of the New Deal and the Suffering of Chenzhou
The spring of the second year of the calendar came very early, and the spring in Bianjing in mid-February was bright, and the men and women flying kites were desperately releasing their enthusiasm for accumulating a winter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info\, qΒ5\
In the back garden where Zhao's mansion was doubled, Zhao Lei was leading his family to play in the garden, and his children were holding their own kites and flying these beautiful animal kites with the help of his subordinates, while Zhao Lei, Tian Lan and others were having a barbecue and picnic next to the small lake.
In addition to Zhao Lei's family here, Yang Wenguang is also among them, Zhao Lei has officially proposed to Tianbo Yang Mansion, and next month's auspicious day will marry Yang Jinhua into the door, and Yang Wenguang, as the male owner of Tianbo Yang Mansion, came to discuss with Zhao Lei about welcoming relatives this time.
"Lord Yan Shu has resigned, Lord Fan has officially taken over the position of Governor of the Council, I will ask Lord Fan to be hired, all etiquette will not be lacking, and the Yang family will not be embarrassed, and I will never come over to tell me." Zhao Lei grilled the meat skewers in his hands, turned and sprinkled the seasoning, and said to Yang Wenguang, who was doing the same action next to him.
"Maybe I won't be able to make it to next month's wedding." Yang Wenguang didn't look up, and said with some loss, he is just a sister, and now his sister is getting married, but he has to move away from home.
"Why?" Zhao Lei is not an official of the Privy Council now, and he does not belong to the Chinese book, so a lot of news was received very late, and after hearing Yang Wenguang's words, he asked suspiciously.
"Last year, Lingnan was unstable, several ethnic groups rebelled one after another, and the Lingnan garrison had a poor record, I just taught the use of new weapons such as grenades, and the official family hoped to send a good general to guard Lingnan, and the Privy Council transferred me to Lingnan." Yang Wenguang replied helplessly.
"What official position?" Zhao Lei asked.
"Quang Nam West Road Defense Envoy!" Yang Wenguang said softly.
"Not bad! 40,000 troops and horses were stationed on the West Road of Guangnan, and there were 25,000 people under the command of the defense envoy, which was the official position of Zhengwupin, and there was turmoil there. If you make a contribution, you will soon be able to return to Beijing, and then you will be able to get promoted to official wealth just around the corner. Zhao Lei smiled and comforted Yang Wenguang.
Although Zhao Lei smiled and comforted Yang Wenguang, he was unhappy for Yang Wenguang in his heart, Guangnan West Road is not a good place, not to mention the poor countryside, where the transportation is inconvenient, the Han people are scarce, and many ethnic minorities in the territory are still in the primitive society of slash-and-burn farming, and the northern frontier and Luzon Island are collectively known as the three major places of exile in the Great Song Dynasty. The generals in Beijing didn't want to go to that kind of barren place, and Yang Wenguang and Zhao Lei were too close, and Zhao Lei had a stiff relationship with Jiangmen, and he didn't have a good relationship with the privy envoy Song Qi, so he was sent to Guangnan West Road, which was equivalent to exile in disguise.
"I don't dare to count on the promotion of official wealth, but I still care about Jiangshan Sheji, so this time I came to ask Sanshi for advice, how to calm the chaotic situation in Guangnan when I go to Guangnan." Yang Wenguang looked at Zhao Lei and asked in a deep voice.
"Brother Zhongrong's words are a bit overstepping. Brother Zhongrong was born in the privy council and is in charge of military power. The chaos in Quang Nam cannot be solved by soldiers and horses, and it is necessary for the local state officials to give up their contempt and treat those ethnic minorities equally to calm their dissatisfaction, but this is easier said than done! Slash-and-burn ethnic minorities, even you and I look down on them, not to mention those rather exiled officials in Lingnan! Zhao Lei said to Yang Wenguang with some self-deprecation.
Zhao Lei's words made Yang Wenguang silent for a while, and then asked again: "Sanshi thinks that I am going to Guangnan to deal with those rebellious people, is it to suppress or recruit peace?" ”
"What's the difference! There are few Han people in Guangnan. The places of Nuoda are all the world of ethnic minorities, the primitive tribes of slash-and-burn farming, and even the tax court does not look down on them, and the suppression is still Zhao'an. It is not of much help to the imperial court, Brother Zhongrong can suppress it first, and then recruit peace. It is best to use the energy of the army to help those ethnic minorities learn some things, such as farming, education, etc., but we must be careful with these things in the military, and we must not let those people learn them, if those ethnic minorities come out of the mountains to farm, the people's wisdom will be opened, and it will be much more convenient for future rule. Zhao Lei said to Yang Wenguang casually.
After Yang Wenguang pondered for a long time, he agreed with Zhao Leidi's opinion, chatted for a while, and then left.
After Yang Wenguang, an outsider, left, the Zhao Mansion where the whole family was reunited, finally became lively, Zhao Lei ordered someone to call the two beauties of Shengguo and Yang Shengguo, and more than a dozen people played in the back garden for a day.
It was another day of the dynasty, and the Qingli New Deal had begun for nearly a month, and the envoy sent by Fan Zhongyan to the state capital near Bianjing had already returned with an official document, and the names, official positions, and reasons for the disqualification of more than a dozen unqualified officials in the political examination were compiled into a book and taken by Fan Zhongyan to the early dynasty to proclaim.
This time, Fan Zhongyan's preparation was very sufficient, and more than 100 copies of the manuscript were distributed to every official in the palace, so that everyone could understand the reasons for the official's failure in the political examination.
"This is a list of seventeen officials in Chenzhou who have failed to pass the performance review, and the reasons for the disqualification are all in it, if you have any objections, you can put them forward." Fan Zhongyan stood in the center of the hall with confidence, and after seeing that the performance was going down, he said loudly
Baiguan said.
Zhao Lei opened the notebook in his hand, and the names of seventeen officials who failed to pass the performance review in Chenzhou were listed one by one, and the reasons for the disqualification were strange.
People who like to gather people to gamble, actually gather the people in the district to gamble, and if they don't gamble, they will increase taxes, this kind of person is actually an official of the Song Dynasty, and such a talented person should go to the gambling house to be a gambling head.
likes to raise flowers, and actually ordered the people to raise flowers, and raise a lot of flowers, occupy a lot of farmland, resulting in the people's livelihood.
The most are officials who are not still in government affairs, and some officials gather celebrities and talents when they arrive in the local area, and they spend all day drinking and drinking, and the most excessive one has not even been to the yamen for more than two years in office, and he is embarrassed to say that his governance has learned from Lao Tzu's "rule by inaction!" ”。
Fan Zhongyan came prepared this time, each of the seventeen unqualified officials elected had reasons why they had to retire, these seventeen people, no matter which one of them could be regarded as moths in the imperial court, those reasons were strong enough to block the mouths of all the courtiers, so that they could not do anything to refute it.
However, Fan Zhongyan's recital made Zhao Lei a little shocked, Chenzhou, also known as Chen Liu, is the place where Cao Cao started during the Three Kingdoms period, Chen Liu in the Northern Song Dynasty, under the jurisdiction of three counties, of which there are up to fifty officials of the grade, but Fan Zhongyan found out seventeen at once, and one-third of the officials were unqualified in the performance review, how can this kind of thing make Zhao Lei not frightened!
"You Aiqing can be suspicious!" The official Zhao Zhen looked at the officials of the court in a deep tone and said.
Zhao Zhen was very angry at this time, very angry, he lived in the deep palace for a long time, he didn't expect that the court of the Great Song Dynasty had been rotten to such a point, in a small state, seventeen officials were actually moths that poisoned the people, Fan Zhongyan's twists and turns, so that Zhao Zhen completely saw the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, from the dream of conquering Luzon and resisting Western Xia, the situation was so rotten, if it was not reformed, how long could the Great Song Dynasty last, ten, twenty or fifty years, and so the courtiers squandered the foundation accumulated in the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, The disaster of the destruction of the country is not far away.
His Royal Highness, the court officials with Lu Yijian and King Pu'an as the officials, looked at the anger in the eyes of the official Zhao Zhen, and then looked at the things that those officials did in the book in their hands, and defended these officials, it was too much, although they did not agree with Fan Zhongyan, hated Fan Zhongyan, and also did the work of enriching themselves, but they were real officials, managing the power center of the Great Song Dynasty, and they were equally angry at the seventeen moths in Fan Zhongyan's notebook, so they did not violate the meaning of the official Zhao Zhen at all, Yi Shen silently agreed to the fate of the seventeen people on Fan Zhongyan's notebook.
The official Zhao Zhen was very satisfied with the reaction of the ministers, and said after a while: "Since these seventeen people are unqualified in the performance review, then remove their fame and demote them to commoners!" ”
The punishment of the official Zhao Zhen is not light, it is not heavy, the composition of the elite class of the Great Song Dynasty is the scholars, and the composition of the scholars is the fame, and the removal of the fame of those officials is equivalent to completely expelling them from the elite class, this punishment is not heavy, but the common people did not say that they will not be allowed to enter the office for life, that is to say, they can retake the meritorious examination, and they can also be officials again after the examination, leaving such a big way back, this punishment does not seem so heavy.
After the punishment method of the official Zhao Zhen was said, many officials in the imperial court felt at ease, many of the seventeen people on Fan Zhongyan's book were inextricably linked with the officials in the palace, if Zhao Zhen was really beaten to death with a stick, they would really not be able to explain to those officials and relatives and friends, just fame, although the law of blinding was reformed, there were still many opportunities, and then Fan Zhongyan would talk about it after he left! The court officials hid their anger and Fan Zhongyan thought about it.
"In the future, the performance review will be punished in this way, and all officials who are convicted of crimes will be dismissed from their reputations and demoted to ordinary people." The official Zhao Zhen slowly said to the hundred officials below.
"Yes! Official! Fan Zhongyan replied respectfully.
The official Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction, sat down without saying a word, and Gan Ling also stood up and asked loudly: "There is a morning music, but there is no retreat!" ”
"The minister has the book!" Zhao Lei suddenly stood up at this time and said loudly.
Handing over the prepared recital to Gan Ling, who came from the lower hall, Zhao Lei continued to say loudly: "The inner area of the Yamen of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute has been built and can be put into use, and the new army of Lord Han has also been recruited. ”
Zhao Lei is words have caused monstrous changes, although the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute has been established, but there is no government, coal and iron and other resources are still in the hands of the three divisions, only the ordnance institute was taken over by Zhao Lei, if the government is opened in advance, even if the three divisions lose at least seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver a day, let alone nearly a month in advance, more than two million taels of silver, Ye Qingchen will agree!
