After listening to Luo Guoqi, Deng She was slightly surprised, turned his head to look at Ji Zongzhou, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Luo Gong's opinion was roughly the same as Ji Gong's. He smiled unconsciously, and said, "The two of you are connected to each other, and they are very close to each other." It couldn't have been last night when we got together and discussed it in advance, right? Thinking that it was impossible, he laughed and said in admiration: "The wise people in the world really see the same." ”

But it turned out that Ji Zongzhou came early, and when Deng She talked to him just now, he had already talked to him about these two things again, and asked him if he had any new insights.

What Ji Zongzhou used to answer was Fang Congzhe's words last night. After thinking about it in the middle of the night, Luo Guoqi also coincided with Ji Zongzhou, and finally decided to adopt Fang Congzhe's opinion in its entirety, although the wording was different, the overall meaning was very different.

Luo Guoqi was quite frightened, but he was also unintentionally greedy for merit, and hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare to hide it, so that the lord knows." The wise people in the world certainly see the same thing. But this clever man is not a minister and a prince. It's for Ji Gong and Fang Congzhe. What Chen Shicai said is all Fang Congzhe's opinion. ”

"Oh? Is it Fang Congzhe's opinion? ”

Luo Guoqi explained: "Last night, Fang Congzheshi came to the minister's mansion and saw that the minister was alone in the study, and he seemed to be thinking. So I ask why. The minister answered truthfully. Fang Congzhe said the above opinions because of this. The minister thinks that there is still a lot of merit. And it was adopted. That's why we have today's report. ”

"I see!"

Dunshe smiled. If it weren't for Luo Guoqi's honesty, it would be really difficult for him to know the details. glanced at Ji Zongyi meaningfully. Fang Congzhe put forward a suggestion that it was better to "throttle" in response to Qing Qianxing's proposal to establish a Lishu Yajun. In this regard, Deng She still appreciates it very much. When I first heard Ji Zongzhou say, I suddenly felt that my eyes lit up, and I felt a little bright. Therefore, just now, I praised Ji Zongzhou and gave him some praise. But Ji Zongzhou was just smiling at that time, constantly stroking his beard and being modest, and he didn't have the slightest intention of giving up the credit.

But it turned out that this was not his opinion, but Fang Congzhe's opinion.

Why did ——, Fang Congzhe go to Luo Guoqi's Mansion at night? Luo Guoqi and Ji Zongzhou's mansions are connected, and Ji Zongzhou has the grace of recommending each other. Needless to say, I also know that it must have been Fang Congzhe who went to Ji Zong's Zhou Mansion first, and then went to Luo Guoqi's Mansion on the way.

In terms of Fang Congzhe's status, he categorically did not have the courage to say that Ji Zongzhou's opinion was his own. It can be inferred from this that what Ji Zongzhou said was definitely heard from Fang Congzhe's mouth. It's just that Ji Zongzhou didn't expect that Fang Congzhe left his house and went to Luo Guoqi's mansion. Unexpectedly, Fang Congzhe also said exactly the same thing as Luo Guoqi.

Looking at Ji Zongzhou again, he was not in a hurry at this time, and he didn't show any flustery because the truth was revealed, he smiled gracefully, walked out of work slowly, crossed his hands, tucked them in his sleeves, and said calmly: "The minister doesn't dare to coax the lord." What Chen Shicai said, but in fact, it was also Fang Congzhe's discussion. The reason why the minister didn't say it explicitly just now was because the minister didn't know whether the lord was in favor of this. If the lord does not approve, the minister cannot bear to be blamed from the philosopher. If the lord agrees, the minister will naturally not dare to take credit, and will explain it to the lord again. Yes, Chen Shicai did not say that this was actually Fang Congzhe's opinion. ”

The ministers in the hall looked at each other. Many people are talking to each other. Obviously, it was originally Ji Zongzhou's greed, but when he said this, he became a loving Fang Congzhe. Several people secretly gave a thumbs up, and said in their hearts: "Old treacherous and cunning." A few words are not revealed. It is really worthy of being called 'today's Feng Dao'. ”

Hong Jixun believes that Ji Zongzhou is "today's Feng Dao", and there is no leaky wall in the world. Moreover, Hong Jixun is not a smooth person, and he never bothers to hide his likes and dislikes for others. Not only did he say this in front of Deng She, but he also said it many times in front of others. Many people have heard of Yidu.

When Hong Jixun heard Ji Zongzhou's words, he couldn't help but show a look of disgust on his face. Deng She smiled and said, "Gong Ji is considerate of Fang Congzhe and has good intentions. However, as you say, I am afraid that if I disagree with this proposal, you may punish Fang Congzhe. This is not necessary. When did I 'sin with my words'?

As long as it is really out of public heart, it is indeed for the sake of my Haidong. He who speaks is not guilty. 'Haha. ”

understated, implicitly criticized Ji Zongzhou. Deng She turned to the ministers, and continued: "Although Fang Congzhe is a small official, he still has knowledge. 'The humble did not dare to forget the country', very good. ......, ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of his suggestion? Do you think it's feasible or not? But please speak freely. ”

Fang Congzhe,...... I still have knowledge", "'I don't dare to forget the country', it's very good". Deng She gave two words of praise in a row, and the other party's opinion from the philosophical point of view is self-evident. To be fair, the method proposed by Fang Congzhe, "using Goryeo untouchables as military slaves", is indeed not bad.

Meng Yuan's "expulsion" is, of course, a maladministration. Meng Yuan's "expulsion" is to plunder the people as slaves, as long as they are defeated and captured, they are slaves. As a result, a large number of good families have been reduced to lowly status, resulting in a very large number of families being endangered as a result. After it is widely implemented, "the school will be driven to half of the world", one is not conducive to social stability; Second, it is not conducive to economic development.

However, in the method proposed by Fang Congzhe, the scope of "slaves" used to reward soldiers was limited to the Goryeo untouchables, and did not affect the good family. The Goryeo untouchables were originally untouchables, that is, slaves, and the like, so aren't they all the same for whom they are slaves? It was not a big deal to transfer to the soldiers as slaves. This is fundamentally different from Meng Yuan's "expulsion" policy. It has removed its barbaric side, which is not divided into classes and is purely "the winner is king, and the loser is the villain".

Moreover, Meng Yuan's "expulsion", once it becomes a "distraction", it is like the master's private property, there is no freedom, children and grandchildren, and generations of slaves. In Fang Congzhe's opinion, he also suggested that it would be advisable to set a period of enslavement for the "slaves" who were rewarded to the soldiers. When the time limit is reached, freedom is granted. This removes the arrogant side of being a slave for generations once it becomes the "mouth" of Meng Yuan.

It can be said that the disadvantages are eliminated and the advantages are obtained.

However, in the implementation of every policy, there will inevitably be those who will benefit and those whose interests will be harmed. According to Fang Congzhe's policy, who is the beneficiary? Haidong. Who, then, is it for the sake of the interests that are harmed?

A minister went out and said: "Fang Congzhe's proposal is a good policy." However, there is one point, but it must be guarded against. That is, the original main home of the Goryeo sluts. If the lord does this, it will be tantamount to taking profit from the original master of these Goryeo sluts. Whoever has a slut is mostly a big family. If it provokes a backlash from them, it seems to be worrying. I am afraid that it will have an adverse impact on the political stability of the DPRK and South Korea. ”

Another person disagreed, and went out to refute this person, saying: "Shi Gaoli is a slut and is good, which is my established policy in Haidong. And the lord is in North Korea, and he has already cast a lot of Goryeo sluts in batches. Qing Qianxing is in the Lizu of the Liaoxi Command, and there are many such lowly and good people. But why didn't you see the turmoil that caused the Korean provinces? Adults are worried, but there are some unfounded worries! ”

"Not really. It is true that the lord has released a lot of Goryeo sluts in Korea. However, it was related to the situation at the time. First, at that time, most of the people released by the lord were slaves of large families, except for some of them, who were sluts. In fact, the interests of large and wealthy families have not been harmed. Second, the lord was only from Shuangcheng at that time, and under the pressure, even if he forcibly released some of the slaves of the big families, those wealthy families did not dare to disobey.

"Compared with that time, at that time, my Haidong was a grass foundation and put domineering first. Now, the foundation of our sea has been decided, but it should be based on the royal road.

"Although there are few Han people in Liaodong and Yidu, the household registration is not a small number. There are one or two million people, and there are five people in a household, and the household is nearly three or four hundred thousand. And thirty acres of land requires one laborer. In addition, according to the regulations of our military rank system, those who can obtain the rank of sergeant will be given almost thirty acres of land. Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and the lord has divided the land many times, and there are many acres of land owned by private families, which is actually more than 30 acres. There are also a lot of people who are more than 100 acres.

Based on this calculation, if you want to fully implement this policy in Liaoyang and Yidu provinces, you need at least 500,000 or even a million Goryeo sluts. The lord has already released most of the officials and sluts in North Korea, and if he wants to release the slaves again, he will have to go to South Korea. Although there are many sluts in South Korea, there are millions of sluts, but it is far from enough. This will not allow them to continue to use strong means to seize it from the hands of the Goryeo families. It's better to say if the number is less, but once the number is more? ......, what I am worried about, how can it be 'unfounded'? ”

"Officials have sluts" Yunyun, in fact, they are officials and slaves. Because this violated the name of Princess Yan and Luo Guannu, the subordinate changed it to "an official and a slut".

Although Deng She had released Goryeo sluts many times, most of the freed people were Goryeo official slaves. Even this time, it is planned to relocate Goryeo sluts to Yidu, and the people they are preparing to migrate are still mainly Goryeo officials and slaves. As the courtier said, once Fang Congzhe's proposal is adopted, the number of Goryeo sluts needed is too much. A single Goryeo official slave is definitely not enough to use, so it has to be attacked by the wealthy families of Goryeo. Maybe it will really arouse the dissatisfaction of some wealthy families in Goryeo.

Deng She groaned and asked Hong Jixun, "What does Mr. think?" ”

"Fang Congzhe's discussion is for Haidongli. Fearing that this would provoke local discontent in Goryeo, which was for the benefit of the wealthy families of Goryeo. Which is right and which is wrong, what is the use of words! ”

Deng She nodded slightly, and asked Zhao Guo again, "Ah Guo, what do you think?" ”

"The lord and the lord have been in Korea for a long time, and they should use the royal road. South and South Korea are the locations of the former Goryeo Wangjing, and there are many wealthy and wealthy families, many of whom are not satisfied, but it is also the time when they are still domineering. ”

With the support of Hong Jixun and Zhao Guo, Fang Congzhe's policy was decided.

Deng She immediately issued an order, first instructed Xingwen Haidong to leave and right, and asked Yan Zhixi and others to report the total number of Haidong Han households as soon as possible. Then he ordered the Korean and South Korean letters to be written separately, so that Munhwaguo and Yao Haogu would know about this and begin to prepare for the selection of Goryeo sluts as slaves of the sergeants.

As for Qing Qianxing's proposal, there is no need to discuss it anymore and it has been shelved since then. However, Deng She thought about it, and asked Qing Qianxing to send a reply, although his strategy could not be used, but not anything else, just for the sake of him being scolded as a "traitor" by the township, he should also be praised.

After two consecutive days of discussion, these two matters were finally decided at today's court council. one used Goryeo sluts to slave soldiers; A wealthy family migrated to Shandong to Goryeo.

The relocation of the wealthy clan of Shandong to Goryeo encountered far less obstacles than Qing Qianxing's proposal. The point is that the locals such as Luo Guoqi and Ji Zongzhou, as long as they do not object, others will not object. Fang Congzhe had already persuaded Luo Guoqi, and he agreed, and this matter would naturally be passed.

However, both of these things cannot be rushed.

Deng She decided to take the first step, and wait for the situation to be more stable, and then take the next step. After discussing these two things, he took out a document from the desk, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Zhao Guo dressed up, and came out again, knelt on the ground, and said: "The minister, the minister has one thing, please play." ”

Deng She couldn't help but wonder, put down the paperwork for the time being, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Laiwu is corrupt and seeks rebellion."

Zhao used to investigate the Laiwu corruption case, and it took more than ten days to investigate the matter clearly. Mi's conspiracy against the Laiwu Hao clan is indeed true. If you go against the grain, you should be cut off on the law. And because it is related to rebellion, the crime is too serious, there is no need to wait until the autumn, a few days ago, all the Laiwu Hao clan who participated in this case have been beheaded and their homes have been raided. And Na Mi, because of the crime of corruption, just like Deng She's order, was already stripped of skin and grass, and his head was cut off, and it was spread to the public in Shandong Prefecture.

It stands to reason that the case has been closed. What else did Zhao Guo play?

Not only Deng She, but also the ministers in the hall also felt strange. Deng She said with a smile: "Laiwu corruption and rebellion case, you did a good job." In less than 10 days, the investigation of the case was clear. Yes, I should give you some reward. If you don't say it, I'll forget. Ah, what do you want? Although. As long as I have, I will give you whatever I want. Remembering something, he laughed and said, "Ah Guo, you haven't married a wife yet." I've heard that there aren't many concubines in your house. So far, no son has been born. If you don't have a child to build this huge property, who will inherit it? We're always friends, look at me, I'm about to have a son now. In this case, how about I reward you with two fertile women? ”

The ministers all laughed. The relationship between Deng She and Zhao Guo is really incomparable to others. I don't know how many people are secretly envious after listening to it.

Zhao Guo looked serious and said: "The ministers, the ministers are not asking for merit." ”

"Oh? What's that for? ”

"When the ministers and ministers heard this, the lord and the lord listened to Pan Xian's policy, and there were plans to determine the nationality of the people and add corrupt households. Whoever is included in the register of corrupt households is not allowed to study, is not allowed to be an official, and is a lowly person from generation to generation. Ministers, ministers are bold, please, may I ask the lord, is it true? ”

Another "greedy household" matter, although Deng She has not yet officially ordered it, it is customized in French. However, since Pan Xianer was ordered to handle the register of corrupt households, he has made this matter so popular and fanfare that it has long been full of trouble in the city and spread to everyone. Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhao Guo knows.

Deng She frowned and said, "There is such a thing." Corrupt officials and corrupt officials, who eat the people's fat and ointment for self-support, use the state's official utensils for their own use. Regardless of shame, greedy for pleasure. At the top, it harms the country, and at the bottom, it wreaks havoc on the people. But all those who have insight are deeply hated. Pan Xian'er's proposal to set up another 'corrupt household' and crack down on the descendants of corrupt officials is a good policy, although it is a little too harsh. Yes, he expressed his approval, and instructed him to deal with the matter. How? Ah Guo, don't you have an opinion on this? ”

"The ministers and ministers did not dare to question the decision of the lord. It is a good policy to set up a register of corrupt households. However, whoever is corrupt and greedy is not allowed to study, is not allowed to serve as an official, and is a slave for generations. The ministers and ministers thought that the punishment was too heavy. ”

Deng She was silent for a while, and said, "Then in your opinion, how can it be considered not heavy?" ”

"Fang Congzhe discussed using the Goryeo slut as a sergeant slave, and the time limit was only three or five years. Ministers and ministers thought that the "register of corrupt households" was therefore a good policy, and they did not put the families, descendants, and descendants of corrupt officials into their registers for a long time, but set up this register to warn corrupt officials in the world. When you become a corrupt official, the clansmen will be put into this book, insulting the ancestors and ashamed of the descendants, and the insult seems to be even greater.

"According to Pan Xianer's opinion, if there is corruption, his clansmen and descendants will all be confiscated into lowly status, and one Mi will have dozens or hundreds of clansmen and family members. Ten meters is hundreds or thousands. A hundred meters is tens of thousands. The lord is benevolent, and while releasing the sluts of Goryeo, he enriches the family of corrupt officials, and the corrupt officials become sluts. Why bother?

Therefore, the ministers and ministers thought, why not also set a deadline for those who enter the greedy households? One generation is enough! Knowing shame and then courage, since the ancestors entered the greedy household because of the greed, they knew the shame, how could their descendants not be brave and change their ways? In this way, it not only reflects the benevolence of the lord, but also gets the benefit of setting up a 'greedy household' register. Isn't it just like Fang Congzhe's proposal, get rid of its disadvantages and get its own good? This is a little foolish opinion for ministers and ministers. That's right, the minister doesn't know. Panic. Fu Wei asked the lord to rule. ”

The so-called: "The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it." ”

Deng She's determination to include corrupt households, corrupt officials, and descendants in his register, and among the ministers of Haidong, more than eighty or ninety percent of them expressed their opposition. Even if there are a very small number of supporters, most of them just want to use this as an opportunity to be promoted and invited to pet. Sincerely, there are almost none.

Zhao Guo said these words, and the ministers watched Deng She's face. Seeing that he didn't seem to be angry, one by one he became bold and came out one after another, echoing Zhao Guo.

Deng She asked Hong Jixun again, "What does Mr. think?" ”

When Pan Xian'er offered advice, Hong Jixun was on the side, he supported it, smiled brightly, and said: "The minister still remembers that the lord said, 'Xiaoren is a thief for Daren. Such corrupt officials are really unscrupulous and shameless people, and they have all their people in the corrupt register, and the ministers think that they are still too light! ”

Hong Jixun is a person, with an agitated temperament, and he advocates Han Feizi's legalist remarks, and in some places he is very similar to Deng She, and he also obeys the use of heavy codes and governs troubled times.

Zhao Guo knew very well how much influence Hong Jixun had on Deng She, and at this time, seeing Hong Jixun's clear support, he couldn't help but get anxious. In a hurry, he stammered more and more, and said, "Minister, minister,......。 Swallowing his saliva, "Minister, minister,......。 "Minister" for a long time, unable to say a word. Hurry him, be in a hurry. Grabbed the placket of his clothes, pressed him to the ground, raised his head, and blushed his face.

Deng She "poofed", laughed, and said, "Ah Guo, what a hurry! Signaling that he didn't have to speak first, he turned to ask Luo Guoqi again, and said, "What does Luo Gong think?" ”

Luo Guoqi did not want to conflict with Hong Jixun, but with his qualifications, he would not be like Ji Zongzhou and others, and he was so jealous of Hong Jixun that he did not dare to refute it. He replied: "The minister has been with the lord for a long time, and I know that the lord has always admired the former Song Dynasty's prime minister. However, the minister wanted to ask the lord, but had he ever heard the sentence: 'The underground cultivates the same as the father and son, and the world reads the history of the monarchs and ministers'? ”

"No, I didn't. ......, what does this mean? ”

It is a couplet of the predecessors. Prime Minister Wen was loyal to the former Song Dynasty, but his son, after entering the Yuan Dynasty, became the county professor of Mengyuan during the Yuan Dynasty, but he died before he arrived. Everyone mourns it with poems, and Min people Weng uniquely came up with this sentence and took it as a link. It's for the swan song. This is where this couplet comes from. ”

Luo Guoqi's meaning is very clear, Wen Tianxiang was loyal to the former Song Dynasty, and after his son entered the Yuan, he also entered the Mengyuan Dynasty. After the loyal minister, he can be an "unloyal minister"; So why don't corrupt officials become "honest officials"? Dunsher was silent in thought.

Hearing the sound of "dong dong dong", he turned his eyes to see it, but it was Zhao Guo lying on the ground, kowtowing constantly. Last time, because of something, Zhao Guo advised Deng She not to listen, so anxious that he couldn't speak, and he kowtowed. This time again. Deng She raised his hand and said, "Ah Guo, I know what you mean." Get up. ”

Wen Tianxiang had three parents and children, all of whom died on the road, and his disciples were the followers. In the example cited by Luo Guoqi, the son of Wen Tianxiang mentioned is actually the descendant of his younger brother, not his biological son. However, since he was passed on to Wen Tianxiang, he can be regarded as his descendant.

And Wen Tianxiang's younger brother Wen Bi has actually already been a scholar. Wen Tianxiang once sighed because of this, saying: "Brothers are one prisoner and one horse, and they have the same father and mother. "He took his younger brother's son as his successor, and his younger brother's son inherited his younger brother's style and entered the Mengyuan, which is understandable. This has nothing to do with Wen Tianxiang's tutoring and family learning.

Although Deng She didn't know that there was still something inside in this, Luo Guoqi's words did make some sense.

Ji Zongzhou watched Deng She's meaning, calmly came out of the ranks, and said: "Breaking into the greedy households is to severely punish them. Let his descendants go, for the sake of leniency. 'Political leniency is slow, slow is to rectify the fierce, fierce * cruel, and the residual is lenient. Wide to help fierce, fierce to help wide, government is to peace. 'The way of government is to be lenient and fierce.

"The minister thinks that although Pan Xianer's strategy is desirable, it is a little too narrow and a little too violent. Zhao Zuocheng asked the lord to publicize his subordinates to be lenient, which was for Lao Cheng. It would be best if the lord could combine the two. ”

Hong Jixun snorted coldly. Ji Zongzhou didn't care, he had already discovered it anyway, Hong Jixun's sycophants were so difficult to shoot, and it was too difficult to slap Hong Jixun. And Pan Xian'er's policy was obviously too violent, admonishing Deng She and correcting it, which can be regarded as safeguarding the interests of most Haidong officials. By the way, you can also pat Luo Guoqi and Zhao Guo's ass. Kill two birds with one stone. Why not do it? Therefore, he also came out to express his support for Zhao Guo and Luo Guoqi's opinions.

Deng She thought about it again and again, he was as good as a stream, since the ministers were all against it, and what Zhao Guo and the others said was reasonable, so it didn't hurt to change it, and said: "That's the case." Let's do what you think. ”

He smiled at Zhao Guo and said, "Ah Guo, you still haven't gotten up?" There is also the power of admonition. ......, two maids are not enough, reward you four! The ministers were still worried that Deng She would be angry, but seeing that he still had the heart to tease Zhao Guo, they knew that even if they were angry, it would not be serious. It's all just relieved, busy and laughing.

Deng She picked up the document and said, "This submission is also from Haidong, and Mr. Yao handed it over. It's also about corrupt officials. I was going to consult with you. He handed it to his attendants, told the ministers to look at it, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look at it first." If you have any comments, please let them know. ”
