Chapter 196: Uncle Guo (II)
"What eats human flesh? Your taste is too heavy. ”
"Then you say you are doing evil?"
"It's pretty much the same if you don't eat human flesh."
"Tell me about it."
"After the uncle quit the military power, he was unhappy, so he took pleasure in cutting slaves and maids at home."
Yuping suddenly stretched out her hand and trembled to hold Song Jiu's hand, navel circumcision is a nice saying, to put it in layman's terms, it is to put a big living person on the platform and unload hundreds of pieces, similar to the head of the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
"How did you know about this?"
"Yesterday it snowed and rained, the walls of his house were frozen and crispy, and the dampness collapsed all at once, and the group of slaves rose up and escaped, kneeling together in front of the Xuande Gate to complain, the emperor was shocked, and was sending an envoy to investigate."
Didn't eat human flesh? But it was similar to eating human flesh, a trace of anger flashed in Song Jiu's eyes, and he said, "This practice is even more cruel than Wang Quanbin." ”
"Yes, General Wang's methods are also cruel and harm more people, but he also thinks about the country to some extent, but he thinks wrongly, and most of them are because of all kinds of illegal acts caused by greed. Uncle Guo's pure cruelty is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven. ”
A trace of regret flashed in Song Jiu's eyes, he thought about it again and again, and accepted thousands of silks and let him enter the deed shares, but in fact, it was not appropriate to receive it. Then he was at a loss, no, he remembered that he was a man-eating demon king, could it be a mistake. Pan Weide said again: "This is the second thing we came, I am worried that you will be impulsive. Since the death of the queen, His Majesty has been very uncomfortable in his heart, and after several years, he has not accepted the queen or placed a concubine, but he can think of His Majesty's feelings for the queen. The queen is just this younger brother, and her dignity is unimaginable. Don't look at our group of yamen who are usually arrogant, but none of them dare to offend the uncle. Looks like you're going to be on duty tomorrow. After you hear about it. Don't be impulsive. His Majesty is not thin on you, and even thinks that you are doing a good job in Bashu. But that's Wang Quanbin. It's not Uncle Guo. ”
Yuping also looked at Song Jiu worriedly.
Song Jiu gritted his teeth and didn't speak.
Yuping suddenly knelt down and said, "The slave family has never asked Jiulang for anything. Today, I only ask Jiurou for one thing, please swallow my anger, and I don't hear it. ”
Pan Weide said on the side: "Jiulang, my mother will come back in ten days at most." Whether you and your little sister can succeed or not, the dozens of days at the end of the year are critical, and you have to be patient at this moment. ”
Song Jiu paced for most of the day, and finally said in frustration: "Listen to you." ”
The next day I went to the third division.
Song Jiu was still watching, asking from time to time. Don't think that this assistant is easy to do, Chu Zhaofu almost doesn't care. All were handed over to the royal judge. The severity is all on Judge Wang, and occasionally if something is wrong, he will also point it out.
It's just that the bookkeeping method is not very good, or single-entry bookkeeping, double-entry bookkeeping is improving, but the officials don't understand, don't understand how to change rashly, and the accounts will be chaotic immediately. What has improved is that some of the officials began to learn to use the four-pillar clearing algorithm to calculate accounts with the students of Song Jiu, and some of the officials began to use the abacus.
It was not Song Jiu's responsibility to settle accounts. And there are so many accounts, ten Song Jiu can't be counted.
Seeing this situation, Song Jiu had an idea in his heart and prepared to compile a separate book on accounting. But I have to make a book. It will also have to wait until next year. This year, I stopped taking the accounting class in the third year, but I took a new course, business management.
Ask the stewards to take turns teaching the children. It is necessary to study business management for at least one year to have a deeper understanding of accounting. Then give it to the students to co-author. He couldn't keep himself busy. And this science will be of great use.
In the third division, the income of the Song Dynasty was known.
The ratio of the two taxes may not be small, but the proportion is not large. It was a stone of grain, a bunch of grass, or some other miscellaneous item, or a horse of silk more than a penny. And don't think about underestimating the wisdom of people at this time, including the three divisions of taxation, self-contained, for example, it is definitely inconvenient for Bashu to transport grain to the capital, so it is replaced by valuable silk silk to save travel expenses. Otherwise, the amount of silk silk in the proportion of the two taxes is smaller.
The main income is a few franchises, that is, wine, salt, and tea, and the commercial tax is also the largest, close to three million yuan, if you add and buy, the city tax and other miscellaneous taxes, it will be more. After getting Bashu, Jinghu began to gradually collect taxes, Jianghuai began to recover, and the income was increasing, gradually approaching 30 million. But when it comes to money, it can only be said that it is slightly more than 20 million this year. Commercial taxes account for more than 10 percent.
Therefore, as an official and a small official, you must also be proficient in business.
When business keeps up, the taxation of a place can become good, which is the origin of Song Jiu's business management class.
It is also going to be compiled into a book, but when this book comes out, it will cause some criticism.
Song Jiu continued to look, and there were already people in the three divisions talking about Wang Jixun's behavior. Zhao Kuangyin dared to discuss, not to mention Wang Jixun. But I only dare to talk about it behind my back, thanks to Guo Wei and Chai Rong, it is the governance of these two people, and officials gradually attach importance to people's livelihood, whether they really attach importance to it or not, people's livelihood is the mainstream consciousness. There are also many ministers who made their fortunes in poverty, including Zhao Kuangyin, although he is the son of a petty official eunuch, his family is not doing well in the chaotic situation of five generations.
Many officials were not accustomed to Wang Jixun's behavior.
How to deal with it, today is not in the early dynasty, Song Jiu does not know.
But when I got home, I sent someone to inquire, and the news came out one after another.
The envoy went down to investigate, not only cut the slaves and maids, Wang Jixun also had some other illegal acts, Zhao Kuangyin was angry, the edict eliminated the officials, extorted the private title, and issued an edict to send Dengzhou. It is reasonable to execute like this, and it is impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to kill Wang Jixun. Not long after Wang Jixun left, Zhao Kuangyin thought about it and regretted it, felt that he had dealt with it too heavily, he was sorry for his dead wife, and he didn't leave for long, and he issued an edict to recall Wang Jixun back to the capital to serve as the deputy head of the right prison guard.
The Wang Jixun incident obscures another thing.
The third phase of the school building has opened again, and the number of students in this phase is even larger, but in the future, there will be a third-grade, or even a fourth-grade and fifth-grade advanced study class, and it is still doubtful how many graduates can be released.
But the school has always kept a low profile, there are no ceremonies, no celebrations, only Song Jiu and the two doctors have a lecture, so that the students can remember the teacher rules engraved on the wall behind the gate. Then each one is in place. And because of Lu Duan's proposal, the imperial court also allocated a sum of money, and each poor student was subsidized with one and a half dollars per month, so that they could study with peace of mind. On that day, Song Jiu did not go to the early dynasty. Lu took the living court, and the front fold was presented. Later, I agreed. The intention is not stated, but everyone understands it. In this way, it is to let the students feel the grace of the court, not the grace of Song Jiu. After all, half of the students in it will be used by the imperial court. And the money is not used much, only one hundred and five dollars a month, and it is used everywhere.
With this money, the students' lives are guaranteed and they can study with peace of mind.
The students were hurriedly settled, and the next day was the first day of the lunar month.
When Song Jiu came to the hospital, some officials kept asking him: "Song Jiu." It's school again. ”
Song Jiu nodded.
Zhao Pu said: "Song Jiu, Guozijian is also about to start school, you have experience, do you want to go over and take a look." ”
Liu Wensu said: "The speed of Guozijian is too slow. ”
"Zhao Xianggong, that one is not needed, my school is cultivating small officials, and it is not a big problem to be lazy in the rules, and I have not done a good job as an official, so how can I train others to be officials. The two are very different in nature. I used to see it, but I didn't see it. If you want to ask someone for guidance, some great Confucians in Taiyi Academy can invite them over. Liu Zhongcheng can't complain about the imperial court, relatively speaking. Because most officials have different mentalities, they have nothing to do with themselves, and they hang high. Or some officials have a different idea, and they are good people. If you don't do it well, you will be impeached, so you would rather not do anything. The two mentalities prevailed, so it was less efficient for the court to do more things than privately. But then again, the imperial court is the state, and once the state apparatus is activated and has the most resources, then the speed will become faster. It depends, there is no hurry to learn, so it dragged on for a long time. ”
"This is education, how can you not be in a hurry."
Song Jiu smiled, with the second ancestors recruited after Taixue, what kind of education are they talking about. And if you really learn Confucianism well, you can be a good official? If you want to be a good official, you still want to be a college in Hezhou in the future. But there's no need to argue.
"Song Jiu, the old man listened to what you didn't do in the third division."
"Liu Zhongcheng, I first arrived in the third division, I don't know anything, how to do things, maybe I will be a director in the future, but if I am not familiar, I can't ignore it, in case it causes a mistake, a mistake, but the happiness of tens of millions of people. In his position, he has to seek his own government, and I have a name in my heart. However, Liu Zhongcheng did not seek his own government during his reign. In the past, I often thought that Liu Zhongcheng was Wei Zheng, but it seems that it is far from it. Song Jiu sneered.
"The old man handed over the fold, and His Majesty didn't need to stay in it." Liu Wensuo said ashamedly.
"If you can't play it once, why don't you play it twice, if you don't play this thing, what's the use of wanting Yushitai! If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world. Liu Zhongcheng, you are the head of the world's ministers, aren't you up to it? I think I'm very selfish, let alone a gentleman, and I can't stand the persuasion of my relatives and friends, Liu Zhongcheng is the middle of the imperial history, how can I stand it. If it's me, resign. ”
The big guys looked at each other, why did they talk about this again.
"Song Jiu, don't force Liu Zhongcheng," Zhao Kuangyi said on the side.
"Second king, it is precisely because of respect for him that I can't help but say this. If you want to be honest and self-clean, you can be a hermit instead of being an official, Chen Tuan has done a good job in Huashan. ”
"Presumptuous."
Zhao Kuangyi shouted, in fact, only two of them understood that he was drinking, and Zhao Kuangyi secretly warned Song Jiu not to take care of this matter. Song Jiu lowered his head helplessly. At the beginning of the early dynasty, Song Jiu was silent. Liu Wensuo asked Song Jiu to force him, and he impeached Wang Jixun again, saying that Zhao Kuangyin was unfair. Zhao Kuangyin did not answer, but announced the dissolution of the dynasty.
After eating "breakfast", Song Jiu continued to look at the archives.
Zhao Kuangyin suddenly arrived.
Everyone saluted, Zhao Kuangyin asked the ministers to calm down, and then came to Song Jiu and asked, "Song Jiu, can you get used to coming to Sansi?" ”
"Your Majesty, I am a little unaccustomed, the three divisions are self-contained, and it doesn't matter if there are micro ministers or not."
"If you think like that, you're remiss in your duty!"
"The minister understands, but the minister must also be familiar with it before he can manage government affairs."
"Why are you forcing Liu Wensuo?"
"Wechen is telling the truth."
"Man is not a sage......
"Your Majesty is a sage, and it is wrong to be wrong."
"You have to overturn the case!"
"Your Majesty's execution is slightly inappropriate, and Weichen doesn't dare to say it, such as Wang Quanbin, Weichen can't figure it out, but Uncle Guo's public case, Your Majesty has made a big mistake, and many people persuade Weichen to be patient and can't say, but Weichen can't bear it."
"If so, how many mistakes have you made?"
"I'm not a sage, I will definitely make mistakes, but Weichen also has some limits, although small mistakes are made, but these big mistakes will not be made. His Majesty is caring, and it is okay to send his uncle to Dengzhou. The Wang family has a son, the queen Shengming, and the queen must leave a line of incense for the queen. This kind of verdict would have been very good, not only to explain to the people of the world, but also to give the uncle a warning. Why did he recall the capital quickly, Weichen thought that His Majesty was not love, but harm. Committing such a serious crime is not punished severely. I don't dare to reuse it in the future, and if I don't reuse it, Uncle Guo's heart will be unbalanced. Your Majesty will not punish him severely, and Uncle Guo will intensify it after eight or nine times out of ten, and how will His Majesty deal with it then? ”
Zhao Kuangyin was silent.
"Your Majesty, Wechen heard Qi Min several times, Wechen was very much in favor of these two words, saying that it is impossible to be rich and poor, but theoretically give all the people a fair chance, the people will not be resentful, and the Great Song Dynasty can last for a long time, but many things that Wechen saw were not Qi Min. For example, in the imperial examination, Weichen was distracted, and there was no hope of entering the scholar in this life, and Zhu Sanlang in the school house was also unable to win many times. I advised him, there are only a few Jinshi a year, you can see how many Jinshi have simple backgrounds. This is unfair, Wu Zetian dares to be famous, why can't His Majesty be famous? If His Majesty really has the heart to go to the people, it will be an unprecedented prosperous era. If you can't do it, you will shout the slogan of Qi Min. The people can fool for a while, but they can't fool for a lifetime, and the greater the expectation at that time, the greater the disappointment. The people hated the court together, and asked His Majesty how to protect the country? Do you simply learn from Emperor Yang of Sui? ”
Since Song Jiu said it, he simply said it together.
After hearing the most gloomy, even Chu Zhaofu was dumbfounded. (To be continued......)
