Song Jiu said: "Wang Zhuan, let's each find a capable official, and then run on both sides, half in Guangzhou, half in Huizhou Shaozhou." ”

That's all there is to it.

After a hasty dinner, they went back to rest.

Song Jiu returned to the room, Tian was talking with his daughter, and when he saw Song Jiu coming back, he understood, and went back to rest. Xiao Biesheng was newly married, Song Jiu wanted to do something, and Li'er said: "No, my daughter is watching." ”

"Yun'er, take Wan Niang out of the house and go to sleep." Song Jiuhou shouted anxiously.

Pity eats and eats and has fun.

The next day, Song Jiu sent away several twists and turns, and Song Jiu went to Huizhou to take up his post. Huizhou is relatively close to Guangzhou, and it will be there in one day. Song Jiu quickly took over the government affairs from the hands of the original Zhizhou.

I was tired all the way, rested early, and slept late the next day before getting up. Yan Tongle came over and said, "Zhizhou, many people outside have arrived at the state office. ”

"Oh, I'll go out and take a look," Song Jiu held the porridge, and there were a few salted duck eggs in the big bowl, but he hadn't gone to court yet, and his official uniform hadn't been worn yet. Song Jiu also didn't want to distance himself from the people too far, so he went out in civilian clothes, and with this image, he would be more close to the people, so that the people of Huizhou could feel at ease.

When they arrived at the gate of the state office, they were surrounded by dense people, and in front of them were some elders.

Song Jiu bit the salted duck egg and asked, "You guys are surrounding the state government early in the morning, are you any dissatisfied?" ”

"We want to see Shinchishu."

"I am."

"You are Song Hou?"

"I'm Song Jiu, what do you call Song Hou, just Song Jiu, or Xiao Jiu."

Yan Tong was happy in the back, that person was so bold.

"It's really Song Hou, Song Hou. Why don't you sit on the bed, let's go out of the city to greet each other. ”

Yan Tong explained in a low voice in Song Jiu's ear: "Zhizhou." Hearing that you served as the governor of Huizhou, the people of Huizhou were overjoyed. Countless firecrackers have been prepared, as well as a lion dance, ready to celebrate your visit to Huizhou. There are also people who are watching dozens of miles outside the city to see the Hu bed in Zhizhou. I didn't expect you to come on horseback Zhizhou, and the people were ready to pounce. ”

Song Jiu was happy.

But the people began to rejoice, and after hearing the confirmation, they saw the approachable appearance of Shinchishu, and many people danced happily. It's too close to Guangzhou, but Huizhou is mostly mountainous terrain. Let the Southern Han exploit the bitter. So when the people heard Song Jiu coming, they were very happy.

Song Jiu put down the big bowl in his hand, made a gesture to calm everyone, and said, "Everyone, don't be too happy. I don't want to be a bad official, but it's not as good as you think. For example, you can see that in my bowl, there are salted duck eggs, and I also like to enjoy exquisite food. Such as wearing. In the past six months, my wife has been coming, and I have been dressed sloppily, but my wife has come and someone has served. I also started wearing fine silks. And I'm afraid of trouble, I'd rather not do anything than have all kinds of disputes after tossing. And I have a lot of bad problems. I like to travel in the mountains and rivers, and I like to study some side paths. I like money, I like wine...... In a word. It's not as good as you think. ”

When the common people heard him tell the truth, they were dumbfounded.

Song Jiu said: "But a few days ago, I saw the tragic scene of the victims of the hurricane, inspected dozens of states, and also saw the poor life of many people, which still made me feel a lot of emotion. But if you want to be good, if you want Huizhou to be good, if you want Guangnan to be good, I can't do it, I can only play a guiding role. Mainly you, since many fathers and elders are here, I am here to say a few words, you have a skill, regardless of origin, regardless of origin, even if it is a person, please come to me, I like you to recommend yourself to me, but also hope that there are many talents to help me, everyone picks up firewood and the flame is high, without many talents to help, I don't have that ability. Also, would you like to be better? ”

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison.

"I don't want me to do nothing, but I want to put forward a few requirements, the first wants to be better, I want this home to be more beautiful, I must use your sweat to build, the second wants to be better, it will be tossed, and the interests of a few people will be temporarily harmed, this should be understood and cooperated, and I will try to ensure that under the premise of tossing, I will not toss to the maximum extent, and under the premise of not tossing, reduce tossing and reduce the interests of more people to be harmed. However, the spring rain is silent, and there will be one or two storms occasionally, so don't be happy if it gets better, but if it gets bad, please be patient, or discuss it with me. As for the Hu bed, I am the governor of Huizhou, and the affairs of a state are busy enough, but I also have the position of a transit envoy, so I can't sit on the Hu bed, so I can only ride a horse, unless a few of my domestic servants are scuds and can carry the Hu bed as fast as a horse. ”

The people in front of them all laughed.

"That's all I have to say, let's disperse, let me finish this bowl of porridge and duck eggs first, and then come to govern."

Most of the people still don't know what it means to toss, but they have never seen or heard such an opening remark, and they went back happily one by one, and suddenly the sound of firecrackers rang out all over the world.

Zhu'er said, "Jiulang, many people welcome you. ”

Li'er teased her daughter and was happy.

"Zhu'er, you don't understand, I don't want to be like this, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, this is forcing me to be diligent in government." Song Jiu frowned and said. The louder the firecrackers, the more bitter he felt, which forced him to fight for his life.

This is the real Song Jiu.

completely subverted his great image in Yan Tong's heart, and Yan Tong was stunned.

Sotsuki quickly arrived in the capital.

There are many affairs to play, and there are many big moves, so Zhao Kuangyin summoned the important ministers and asked them to discuss after watching them. The problem of merging states and counties is not big, but is it worth having 240 counties in 60 states with a larger population? Withholding taxes is not a big problem, the action is so big, it is not possible to have no money, and it is a good thing not to ask the court for support. As for how Lingnan should do it, since Lingnan has been handed over to several people, they have the right to do it. If you do a good job and advocate it, if you don't do it well, immediately send a central messenger to stop the message. There is also no problem with going to sea, and the people are not forcibly allowed to go to sea, but only let them join forces to protect themselves. But it was a law of exemption that made everyone hesitate.

Zhao Kuangyi said: "The emperor, the younger brother thinks it's inappropriate, Guangnan may not have many Yaqian officials, but if you put it all over the country, how many Yaqian will hire them one by one." Taxes must be added to the people. ”

First, second, and third-class households are also people, and they are still powerful people.

Zhao Pu has never had a good impression of Song Jiu.

Later, Song Jiu was beaten by Zhao Kuangyi. The attitude was a little more relaxed. But Song Jiu didn't flatter him, so it didn't matter. He is the emperor's peach blossom, but his wisdom faintly tells him that this son is hostile to him. However, if Zhao Kuangyi opposes it, he will support it. simply stepped on the two kings into the mud to prevent him from fighting back. In addition, after obtaining acid technology, Hebei is also building a glazed workshop, which is about to be put into production. Some people talk about it, and they have to express their position at the moment. So he said: "Your Majesty, Guangnan is different from the Central Plains, it is based on the Tang system. The first is to serve, and the other is to hire. During this period, the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, and the huge wealth of businessmen can leap above the merchants of the Central Plains. But the people could not provide food and clothing. If these businessmen are allowed to change into officials, they may not be able to do a good job. This seems to be the most appropriate method. However, it is different from the Central Plains system, so it was ordered that other provincial officials should not imitate it, let Guangnan try it out, and if it is appropriate, it will continue to be implemented in Guangnan in the future, and if it is not appropriate, it will be withdrawn in time. ”

Zhao Pu supports. Zhao Kuangyi was "timid" and did not dare to resist anymore. Other officials did not dare.

Zhao Kuangyin bowed, then looked at Yan Tong's name, and didn't ask after thinking about it. I believe that he is better than a pseudo-Han official, if he is retained, if not. If you are dismissed from your official position, you will also be allowed to do so. One modification was made, though. Wang Ming added a bucket to the book, and Zhao Kuangyin said: "The people of Guangnan have been freed from fire and water. Why don't you bear to tax them heavily, change it, change it to two liters. ”

Of course, the lighter the tax, the better for the people, but the consumption of two liters will definitely not work, that is almost equal to no consumption, and the loss of officials cannot meet the standard, so they have to change the method to forcibly increase consumption, that is, a bucket consumption will not hurt the people, but the consumption of two liters will hurt the people.

It is not serious, and all sides are trying to find ways to bring Lingnan from chaos to order.

The edict was sent to Lingnan again.

Song Jiu's opening remarks in Huizhou also spread to the capital.

Zhao Kuangyin listened to it slightly, but he suddenly thought of a lot, Song Jiu said several times that the governance of Wenjing was not the rule of inaction, which made Sima Qian misinterpret it, and the governance of Wenjing was actually a kind of quiet governance. Then he thought about the situation in the states and counties of the Song Dynasty.

Thinking of this, he said, "Spread the word." ”

Ten people including Liu Yin, a new scholar, were summoned, and ten students with good grades were summoned from the academy.

Last year, the most Jinshi were admitted, and after a period of grinding, they were put down to allow them to compare with the students of the college. This ratio is very bad, the governance of a place involves criminal law, agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry, industry and commerce, folk customs, etc., and the Confucian scriptures have this knowledge. On the contrary, seowon has become more and more specialized, and many courses are designed to teach these practical knowledge. The same appointment has a very different starting point. The Jinshi was also dumbfounded, and the students were like fish in water below with the abacus.

It is not necessarily that the students are good, and some Jinshi are also talents, and after a period of grinding and exploration, they can also catch up. But at the moment, it is indeed too far off.

In addition, last year's salary was added, and the officials did not cut much, but the finances of the three divisions gradually tightened. Therefore, this year, Lu Duoxun knew the tribute, and the quota was reduced again, and only ten jinshi were admitted, and one by one has not been released, and they are grinding in various departments and departments in the capital.

However, the impact of this release was very widespread, and there were many scholars among the people who were crazy about reading and desperate for everything, including the academy. After receiving it, someone left the academy again, and ten jinshi still couldn't play. Including the academy, many students have also come back from the scriptures.

When twenty people arrived, Zhao Kuangyin said: "You write a strategy, talking about the relationship between the way of government and quiet inaction, and not tossing." ”

After saying that, he left.

The students of the academy began to write, and these ten students were all the first or second grade students in the previous Song Jiu Academy, and they had heard Song Jiu say something, including this one.

Ten Jinshi are inexplicable, could it be that the emperor was reading historical records during this time, and was influenced by Sima Qian and Huang Lao's thoughts, so he came up with this proposition? If the question is solved, then solve the problem. More than an hour later, twenty strategies arrived in Zhao Kuangyin's hands.

Jinshi's articles are extremely gorgeous, and there are a few talented and good people who use all the four or six bodies, but after Zhao Kuangyin read it, he threw them all away. Lao Tzu looks at policy, not Lao Tzu's thoughts!

Looking at the students in the academy, they are still nervous, some students try to use the four or six bodies, and they don't use them well, this is not their strength, or they are bumpy, but they immediately see the gratifying highlights.

Each has its own arguments, and there are a few strategies that are still good, one of which is written to one, not for the failure of the upper life, for the superior to worry about the peace of the country and the people, and to protect the society for ten thousand years. For the lower may not be, there are not many good officials, mediocre officials have no hope of moving for a long time, focusing on pleasure, that is, there is good governance, changing the law, changing the law, changing the law and changing the law, and the edict is constantly changing, and there are more opportunities for the change.

There is also a strategy that makes Zhao Kuangyin very satisfied, as a politician, one is from the top and the other is from the bottom. There are advantages and disadvantages, and the benefits are taken for granted, and the disadvantages are resentful, so the above ones guide more and change less, and the people are safe. If there is a change, it will come down, the people will support it, conform to the will of the people, and if the government decree changes, the people will not complain.

Zhao Kuangyin put down the twenty strategies.

This matter is a bit big, is it possible to overthrow all the imperial examination system since the Sui and Tang dynasties, and promote the model of academies throughout the country?

It has nothing to do with Song Jiu, and the promotion of the whole country is precisely to eliminate the mark of Song Jiu.

But if it does, it will cause a huge controversy. However, the gap between the two is so big that it is impossible to see it...... (To be continued......)
