Chapter 441: The response was mediocre
As soon as this incident came out, the ministers in Beijing who were about to move and planned to continue to go to the book to meet Chen Mu and let Chen Mu cancel the weather monitoring government finally died down.
After all, the skills of Cao Lao and Cao Lao's senior brother and junior brother have been shown.
They can't handle it now, if they continue to enter the palace to meet them, Chen Mu will definitely not let them go.
On the other hand, Cao Lao and Cao Lao's senior brothers and younger brothers also had some eyes, and they did not interact with the big families in Beijing.
Even if those people offered heavy gifts, intending to ask the two of them to tell fortunes and look at their faces, the two of them did not dare to accept it.
"Those people are completely gone, His Royal Highness the Prince, what should we do next? The matter of weather monitoring and government offices can be regarded as settled. ”
"You have promoted literacy and numeracy books, and I see that the response from the people is mediocre, should we ......?"
Some subordinates frowned, after the arithmetic and literacy books were promoted, although the people also knew that this was a kindness from His Royal Highness the Prince.
But they didn't bother to buy the book to read and learn arithmetic.
On the one hand, they don't have a professor by their side, and even if they take the book, it doesn't make sense.
On the other hand, farming tools have not yet been promoted, and the vast majority of farmers do not have enough time to learn words and arithmetic.
Of course, Chen Mu understood this truth, and the reason why he promoted this book of arithmetic and literacy at this time was just to give those textile craftsmen who had been replaced by instruments, as well as other people, a way out.
If they are really interested, they can learn these things, and they will eventually find a job that suits them.
Moreover, once this education-related policy decree is promoted, it is not possible to rush to see the results.
These decrees will only be effective after being popularized among the people for several years.
Chen Mu was not in a hurry to promote education-related matters, and instructed his subordinates.
"By the way, I asked you to set up petitioning offices in several important prefectures and counties, as well as in the capital, have you done it?"
"Although this decree has not been promulgated, I have sent it to the Ministry of Industry and to those counties."
Some time ago, Chen Mu was thinking about something related to the petition to the government.
While the common people were discussing the matter of the weather monitoring government, he had already arranged for it to the officials of the Ministry of Industry.
It just so happened that during that time, the ministers of the family in Beijing were all focused on Cao Lao and the imminent flood disaster, so no one noticed this matter.
If anyone had noticed this in advance, they would have intervened to stop him from setting up a petition office.
After all, when this government is set up, it is equivalent to setting up another layer of supervision institutions.
If there were people who were persecuted by officials in various places, those people could go to the petitioning government and tell the officials stationed in the petitioning government about the matter.
Then those officials reported to the capital, and the capital was also set up to petition the government, and the officials in these petitioning offices were also transferred by Chen Mu from various departments, and they were all his henchmen.
These people are innocent, and before sending them to petition the government, Chen Mu had also sent someone to carefully investigate their identities and details.
It wasn't until the flood disaster subsided and the people had returned to normal production and life that the ministers in Beijing noticed the matter of petitioning the government.
Those ministers in Beijing were shocked, it was not enough to have a supervising office, and they also set up this petitioning office.
The overseers of the government can still do a little bit, as long as they hide the grievances of the people, they may be able to let the evil things they have done not be exposed.
Now that the petitioning government has been established, doesn't this mean that they have to be more vigilant, and they can't even provoke the ordinary people?
The big families in the capital were immediately dissatisfied, even if someone had already entered the palace to admonish.
The decrees issued by those ministers for the recent period are about to level the threshold of the palace.
Chen Mu saw that an adult was coming, and as soon as the adult opened his mouth to mention the four words of petitioning the government, Chen Mu threw the fold in front of the adult who had met him.
There was a crisp snap, and the adult shuddered and knelt in front of Chen Mu, Chen Mu said coldly.
"Stand down, in addition, send a message to those big families in the capital, and tell them that if anyone dares to come to my palace to meet me about this matter of petitioning the government office, I will directly drag him out and beat him with thirty boards."
As soon as these words came out, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the adult's forehead, and he immediately responded again and again, and lightly withdrew from the main hall.
The news of the minister's delivery spread all over the capital, and the people suddenly felt relieved that this petition was opened for them ordinary people.
If there are really some people who have been oppressed by the people of the big families in various places, the effect of this petition government is much greater than that of the county government.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's decree is so good, as soon as this decree comes out, those people in the big families should not dare to trouble us."
"That's not necessarily, those officials, officials protect each other, who knows if the officials who petitioned the government can stand up for our people?"
"Hahaha, I don't think you should expect the petitioning government to stand up for us."
"I guess, if we are really angry and want to go to the petitioning government to ask the adults of the petitioning government to stand up for us, then we will have no return!"
The lord who petitioned the government would definitely be bought by those people in the big families.
Where do they have a say?
As soon as this decree came out, some people were quite embarrassed and looked forward to it, but some people were noncommittal, thinking that this was just a superficial effort done by His Royal Highness the Prince.
When Chen Mu heard that these two statements had been spread among the people in the capital, he sighed and shook his head silently.
He did not let anyone release the news, which has confirmed the integrity of the officials who petitioned the government office.
Because he knew that it was useless to do anything by himself, only those people came forward in person, went to the petitioning government to petition, and then it was effective.
Only then will those people be willing to believe in the integrity of the petitioning government.
Chen Mu knew that he needed a chance.
And that opportunity was also sent to the officials who petitioned the government a few days later.
On that day, Chen Mu was preparing for a private visit to Weifu and went to the research office to see how the equipment researched by Li Mao and others had been improved.
But as he passed by a street corner, he suddenly heard a whirring sound from the corner, and he lifted the curtain to look out.
Seeing that there were several people gathered around the corner of the street, they were probing their heads to see something, and faintly, Chen Mu could still hear the crowd shouting.
"Lord Liu, the official of Beijing, teamed up with the Fengcheng County Decree to take away the Zhuangzi of our Zhao family, and I traveled all the way here to enter Beijing to sue the emperor! But you stopped me! Throw me out of the capital several times! ”
"But I have legs, and as long as you don't kill me, I'll go into the city again and again! Until the letter written about the incident was handed to His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
