Chapter 702: Project Hope

"The bare-bottomed kid just now, everyone saw it, and compared their hearts to their hearts, if your children were like that, what would they think in their hearts? What is a child? Children are the hope of the country! When the children are good, the country will be good, and when the children are strong, the country will be strong. But this situation is very common in Daming, even in the rich Jiangnan, there are not a few? What to do? Looking at the whole Ming Dynasty, what should we do? What do you think, Mr. Woko? Chen Xie said something, and as soon as the conversation changed, the problem came.

Chen Zilong was asked, pondering and meditating, unable to understand. Don't talk about him, in the entire Ming Dynasty, except for Chen Xie, who would consider such a problem? Seeing that he was embarrassed, Chen Xie smiled and said lightly: "Mr. Wozi, you are also a well-educated person." In the face of such a problem, there is still nothing to be done. This is Da Ming! This is our country. His Majesty is the father of the subjects of the world, the governor is the parent official of a province, the prefect and the governor are the parent officials of the state capital, and the county order is the parent of a county. You see, they all ask others to treat themselves as parents, so may I ask, how many parents can really treat the people under their rule as their own children? If this can really be done, does Daming still have a family like Luo Qi? ”

Chen Zilong was speechless, and Chen Xie's more ruthless words came again: "But what about these parents of ours? Where did they come from? It is all from the people's offerings, and in this sense, these officials of the Ming Dynasty are derelict in their duties. To put it more strictly, the successive monarchs of the Ming Dynasty were all unqualified parents. ”

This was too heavy, but Chen Zilong was speechless. Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, the difference between the government and the people, and the difference between the people and the people, these things are concepts that go deep into the bone marrow. But in the general sense, these Venerable Masters demanded that others do what they wanted. What about yourself?

When Chen Zilong's entangled brows were not spread, Chen Xie said again: "Okay, this problem is too big, let's put it aside for now." There are many problems in this world, but we still focus on the present, one problem. A problem to solve. ”

Chen Zilong came down the stairs and arched his hand: "Lord Cabinet gives advice." At this time, Luo Qi, who was sitting on the threshold, was so frightened that he was no longer possessed, and he knew what the two words of the cabinet meant. The Ming Dynasty is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the person who can call these two words is that one. The whole Jiangnan uses this name to stop children's night crying.

Trembling Luo Qi. His head was lowered to the crotch of his pants, and he didn't dare to raise his head at all. Chen Xie didn't say anything when he saw this, and continued to say to Chen Zilong: "I said before, children are hope. So what we're going to do next is called Project Hope. ”

Qian Wenda's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately asked: "Cabinet, what kind of charter should this hope project be?" ”

Chen Xie smiled with satisfaction. This guy is really a good material for doing practical things, and immediately thought of the crux of the matter. The first thing to do is to have a charter. It's a must. If there are no rules, how can there be a circle?

"Let's put it this way, first of all, you need to have a sum of money, and the transfer is for the exclusive use. Where does this money come from? There are two aspects, one is government funding, and the other is local fundraising. Here's an example. The local gentry donated money to run the school, which is a good thing and should be encouraged. Encouragement alone is not enough, there must be some reward. How to reciprocate? Silver? So why bother fundraising? So, a different way. Build bridges and pave roads to erect a monument, why can't you donate money to run a school? Not only should a monument be erected, but it should also be reported to the imperial court, and the name should be listed in the newspaper of the imperial court so that everyone in the world can know. Secondly, a rule must be formulated, such as the matter of Luo Qi's child studying in school, Lao Qian will supervise this matter, and if he finds that his family's situation is not good, he can report it to the Hope Project Office and allocate funds to help his family tide over the difficulties. As the saying goes, the emergency does not help the poor, the government can't manage his family for a lifetime, and the person in charge of this matter has to find a job for his family. For example, Luo Qi can't do anything other than farming. So how to help him? According to the actual situation, I personally think that he can set up a small family farm, raising ten pigs and eight pigs, and one hundred and ten chickens and ducks, and the family should be able to get busy. Prosperity through hard work and prosperity through hard work should be encouraged. And one more question, what if you meet some lazy people? If you want me to say, such a person should not enjoy this treatment, nor should he let his wife and children suffer poverty with him, and it is completely possible for the government to come forward and force him to leave, so that he can starve to death alone. In addition, when children are studying in school, they can also enjoy some preferential treatment, such as school uniforms, which can be free, and book fees can also be waived. Finally, there is still a question of the supervision mechanism, such a large sum of money, can not be expected to the moral standard of the specific officer. Don't do good deeds, raise a bunch of moths to come out, once or twice, spread it out and ruin the business. ”

Chen Xie said a lot, the speaker is intentional, and the listener has a heart, especially Chen Zilong, a jinshi who has been in the officialdom, can better understand Chen Xie's good intentions. There is no doubt that the Hope Project will also be a nationwide project, and at present, it is only being prepared in Huating, and it will be promoted to the whole country after a period of time, which is Chen Xie's fixed routine. As for who will pay for this? Will the government really pay for it? Chen Zilong thought it might be!

"The idea of the cabinet is very good, so may I ask, is the government willing to make such a sum of money?" Chen Zilong's question was a little sharp, and Chen Xie sighed slightly: "Yes, are you willing to do it?" I think it will! In the end, Chen Xie's expression showed a hint of hideousness, Chen Zilong saw it clearly, and his heart trembled fiercely, forgetting that this guy is a ruthless person. Thinking of this, Chen Zilong suddenly became vigilant, stood up and looked at Chen Xie in fright, and said tremblingly: "The cabinet is ......." ”

"Because of the Ship Division and the Commercial Tax Division, Jingshi has cut off a lot of heads, including Langzhong's head. In the past two years, the imperial court has increased the officials' 俸禄, which means His Majesty's xià, and these increased 俸禄 are called Yanglian Yinzi. Even if it is a county order, he can get 360 silver yuan every year, which is a tenfold increase in income compared to the past. If there is such a standard of money, and the officials are still corrupt, then it is good to kill, and if it is found that one is killed, one is killed. Chen Xie said such a thing very indifferently, Chen Zilong instantly sweated profusely, and his legs trembled. He knows very well what kind of virtue the officials of the Ming Dynasty are, if they want to be more serious, they can kill all the officials they have achieved.

"Cabinet, no! It's going to be a big mess! "Chen Zilong is really in a hurry, how many heads do you have to lose?

Chen Xie was unmoved, and said lightly: "At the beginning, the budget system was implemented to increase the income of officials, and the official documents of the imperial court were clearly written, and the role and consequences of raising honest silver. You say, how can you not kill? ”

Poof, Luo Qi couldn't bear it anymore, so he leaned back directly, rolled over, lay on the ground and didn't dare to get up, covering his ears with his hands, regretting that he had listened so much. This kind of little person, in the eyes of the master, is no different from a dog.

Chen Xie smiled, stood up and said, "Let's go, old money, you stay, go back and go back by yourself." Saying that, Chen Xie walked out of the courtyard, unhurriedly with his hands behind his back, and wandered around the village. Chen Zilong didn't have the heart to wander around, following behind Chen Xie, he couldn't give up.

Chen Xie walked all the way, walked around the village, and then went to the fields, and saw local villagers along the way, always stopping to talk to people, without any shelf, and scattered several packs of cigarettes. Chen Zilong didn't know what this guy wanted to do, he walked around behind, listless, and then couldn't help but ask, Chen Xie replied: "I don't usually go out much, but if I have the opportunity to come out and walk around, I should take it as a trip." Chen Zilong: .......

Qian Wenda helped Luo Qi up here, this guy was frightened, looking at the direction where Chen Xie disappeared, he asked tremblingly: "Master Qian, it's King Chen Yan who came?" "Folklore, Chen Xie is the reincarnation of Hades + Evil Star, when he begged for thieves, he killed countless heads, not only thieves, but also the officers and soldiers who harmed the people. In short, it's kill, kill, kill!

"Luo Qi, don't you dare to call the Pavilion Master like that. Don't you know, the rogues of the year were miserable to the people in Jiangbei. What is even more infuriating is that some officers and men are even more vicious than the rogue bandits, killing good people and risking meritorious deeds. Chen Gebu led the troops to quell the chaos back then, how could he watch it if he loved the people like a son. No, more than 20,000 heads were cut off in Xiangyang in one go, and they were all those bastard officers and soldiers. Don't you know, the king of Hades in your mouth, every time you go to a place, the people kneel on the ground to greet each other, and when they leave, the people cry and send off, and hundreds of people voluntarily leave their hometowns and follow Chen Gebu with their families. This is also in Jiangnan, some literati are not used to seeing Chen Gebu treating the people as people, so they arrange bad things about him. ”

Qian Wenda's words, Luo Qi believed it. Don't say anything else, just look at Qian Wenda, and the entourage to do it, two bags of grain, more than 200 catties, not to mention moving into the house, open the package full of clothes, adults and children have it, although it is worn old clothes, but in Luo Qi's house, this unpatched clothes are already a good thing. When it is, kneel down and kowtow to Qian Wenda.

Qian Wenda stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "There is no need to do this, these are all from the cabinet lords, and I don't have much strength." Speaking of which, Qian Mou is also reckless, the cabinet department has every opportunity, I take these trivial things to work on his old man's house, it's a sin! Go back and come to the door to confess the sin, or else your heart will be troubled. ”

The next day, Chen Zilong knew what efficiency was, and the preparatory team for the Hope Project was established, and a few young people were selected from Chen Xie's staff team to set up a team and start preparations. The preliminary preparation is not to formulate rules, but to take some people to start research within the scope of Songjiang Prefecture, make a specific number, and then have the following.
