Chapter 369: I know Xia Gong very well
Yisha listened to Zhu Di's words, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the number of the Right Governor's Mansion should be ...... Will be delivered soon. ”
"The household department didn't receive his money and food book?" Zhu Di frowned slightly.
Yisha said: "Not yet." ”
Compared with other money and food income, Zhu Di is most concerned about the situation of the entire Zhili.
The situation of the Left Governor's Mansion is very good, but compared with the Left Governor's Mansion, Zhu Di's focus is more inclined to the Right Governor's Mansion.
Therefore, the situation of the Right Capital Governor's Mansion has not yet been sent, which makes Zhu Di a little unwilling.
"Let's urge the household."
"Yes."
Zhu Di said, and looked down at Song Shu again, he could see it.
At this time, Zhu Zhanji on the side said: "Grandpa Huang, it seems that you don't like it." ”
"It's not that I don't like it." Zhu Di looked up at Zhu Zhanji slowly, and then said, "It's just that I have hope in my heart and am a little anxious." ”
"Then again, except for Guizhou, Yunnan and other political envoys, the money and grain books of the world's political envoys have not yet arrived, and it is the right capital governor's mansion. Guizhou and Yunnan are understandable, after all, these places are remote. But this year, the Right Governor's Mansion has not yet been delivered, but it is a little strange. Have you visited your uncle these days? ”
Zhu Zhanji said honestly: "I've been there." ”
"How's his body?"
"Okay, grandpa don't worry, uncle is the king's eighth life."
"What is the king's eight lives......"
"This ...... This is from the companions, saying that the king can live for a thousand years......"
Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh and said, "You guy, he also has a good complexion, right?" ”
"Yes."
Zhu Di nodded and said, "This will teach me to rest assured." Did he say anything to you? ”
"Uncle said that you can't be ashamed of being a man."
Zhu Di: "......"
Zhu Zhanji continued: "But to be a man must be filial. ”
Zhu Di coughed: "It's not that you don't want to be honest, you also want to be honest." ”
Zhu Zhanji sighed.
After a pause, Zhu Di said with a little curiosity: "Why did he teach you not to be shameless?" ”
Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said, "Uncle said that shame can't be talked about, and there are ......... It is said that everything should be viewed from the perspective of interests, such as reading, if you don't allow the people to benefit, how can they let their children study? Don't look at the people with the attitude of charity, but treat them as human beings, and replace their thinking with themselves to think about problems, the people are not as stupid as they imagined, although they sometimes fall into the trap of others, but after a long time, the accounts can still be settled. ”
For example, reading, over time, they naturally know the benefits of reading, and they can change the fate of their children by reading, so they ...... There is no need to educate them, and they are willing to tighten their belts and send their children to school. ”
Zhu Di listened, thoughtful, and then laughed and said: "Help each other with evil, stay with good with each other, sympathize with each other, seek to seek each other, and die with common benefits." Do you know what it means? ”
Zhu Zhanji said: "When the interests are aligned, it is enough to make people die together." ”
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji with satisfaction, and then asked, "Where did this come from?" ”
Zhu Zhanji thought about it seriously for a while, and then said: "It seems to be a historical record...... It is the cross of King Wu Liu Bi. ”
Zhu Di bowed his head: "What Zhang Qingjia said is exactly this truth." ”
Zhu Zhanji looked confused: "I thought that my uncle didn't read, so he would also quote scriptures." But...... Grandpa Huang...... Since there are such words as an uncle in the scriptures, why didn't the grandson listen to the masters interpret these words carefully? ”
Zhu Di thought for a while and said: "Since ancient times, there have been many great Confucians, and since the pre-Qin Dynasty, there are countless pieces of knowledge that have been handed down, but what is really taught to you, and what is memorable?" In the final analysis, the foundation of imparting knowledge lies in people. Books are dead things, and it is the people who can impart knowledge to decide what to impart to you, or to interpret it. ”
"That's why your masters, what you teach you is what they think in their hearts. And what your uncle taught you about it also lies in what your uncle is thinking? ”
Zhu Zhanji suddenly realized, and said, "Which one of the masters or uncles is correct?" ”
Zhu Di said: "Only fools will think about this problem. ”
"And what about smart people?"
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Smart people only think about whichever is good for me, and I will believe whoever they say." If you are the son of a master, of course you should learn from the former, because only by teaching people benevolence, righteousness and honesty can you not only flaunt your own virtues, but also keep your own interests from being infringed upon. But if you are a farmer's child, what is the use of learning the former? Can courtesy, righteousness, and shame be fed? ”
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
Zhu Zhanji seemed to have a sense of understanding: "In this way, it is better to be taught by my uncle, and my uncle taught me how to solve the problem." ”
Zhu Di touched Zhu Zhanji's head dotingly. Said happily: "My grandson is like me." ”
Zhu Zhanji said obediently: "Grandpa Huang is also very knowledgeable. ”
Zhu Di said: "Of course. My education was no worse than yours, and those who taught me knowledge must be the world's most famous Confucian, or the world's unparalleled general, how could I be vulgar? ”
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji said hesitantly: "But...... But ......"
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji with a smile: "But what?" ”
"But the imperial grandfather looks a little rude." Zhu Zhanji dared to say this.
Zhu Di laughed when he heard this: "This is temperament, knowledge is different from people's temperament, some people, in order to show that they are talented and learned, make a polite appearance, but in fact it is just a straw bag." How can a person who is truly learned, strategic, and economical use his courteous appearance to show himself. ”
Zhu Zhanji understood: "Oh, I understand. ”
Zhu Di continued to look at him with a smile and said, "What do you understand?" ”
Zhu Zhanji said solemnly: "It seems that the mother concubine is also wrong, I will go back and tell the mother concubine about the words of the imperial grandfather." ”
Zhu Di: "......"
Zhu Zhanji said: "My mother has taught me to be polite and not to speak rude words, and I will say ...... to my mother in the future."
"Gotcha, gotcha." Zhu Di has a feeling that he seems to have been tricked by Zhu Zhanji.
At the moment, he flicked his skull lightly, and then said: "It's almost over, I'm talking nonsense, go, go, I'm serious." ”
Zhu Zhanji drooped his head, and had no choice but to say: "Yes, Sun Chen said goodbye." ”
…………
Right Governor's Palace.
The entire governor's mansion was busy, crackling, and full of the sound of calculating money and food.
One by one, the scribes sent the latest number, and the scribes here are in full swing.
Many people can only rest for three hours a day.
The business was too busy and completely beyond the expected.
But there was no way, the right governor was already furious, although he urged repeatedly, but until now, the accounts have not been calculated.
Gao Xiang didn't expect this sudden situation, he smiled bitterly, and he was busy making amends.
"Governor, if it weren't for the disadvantage of the people below, I really didn't expect that this year's tax situation would be so complicated. There are too many workshops involved, as well as various merchants. If we knew this, we should increase manpower in advance, and in addition, we should carry out advance planning. ”
Gao Xiang had a bitter face, wanting to cry without tears.
He really didn't expect such a big difference this time.
In previous years, the summer tax was arranged at the beginning of summer, and then it began to be collected, and finally compiled into a book.
It's all old customs.
But this year, it is found that both the tax collectors and the scribes who calculate taxes are far from enough.
Up to now, other places have been put on the money and grain books, but the right capital governor's mansion has not been skimmed yet.
Zhang Anshi frowned and said: "I didn't expect it in advance, and now it's just a temporary cramming, but the efficiency of this cramming is so slow, people who don't know think that our right capital is incompetent!" ”
"Yes, yes." Gao Xiang said: "It's not that the Right Governor's Mansion is incompetent, it's that the lower officials are incompetent." Especially the Taiping Mansion...... The lower officials must ...... ...... by all means."
"Forget it." Zhang Anshi sighed, and then said, "What's the use of scolding you now? Just do your best. ”
"Then the ...... over there," Gao Xiang looked at Zhang Anshi cautiously.
As far as he knew, the household department had already issued several official letters urging him.
There are already a lot of money and grain in various places, but only the right capital governor's mansion has not yet been written.
According to Gao Xiang's estimate, it may not be completed even if it takes another ten days and half a month.
In this way, the pressure on the governor of his family can be imagined.
And the most procrastinating of them belongs to his Taiping Mansion, the situation of the Taiping Mansion is more complicated, and it is far beyond his expectations as the Mansion Yin.
Zhang Anshi sighed: "What else can I do? Do what you have to do! I don't have to worry about them, and they didn't put a knife on my neck. ”
Gao Xiang listened, wiped the sweat on his forehead, nodded and said, "Then the lower official continues to use his life." ”
Zhang Anshi sat down and picked up the teacup, but he didn't drink it immediately, but said: "Although the matter of summer tax is important, other work cannot be slack, and things such as attracting investment, building roads, and arresting thieves cannot be taken lightly. ”
"This is natural."
Gao Xiang breathed a long sigh of relief, he knew Zhang Anshi's temperament, sometimes he was more anxious and easy to get angry, but the only good thing was that after scolding his mother, he might forget it when he turned his head.
Gao Xiang leaned over and sat down: "Xiaguan heard some gossip. ”
"Is there less gossip out there now?" Zhang Anshi took another sip of tea, and then said, "Don't pay attention to what the outside world thinks. ”
"Yes." Gao Xiang said: "However, the lower officials are worried that someone wants to separate His Royal Highness the King of Shu and the governor." ”
Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows and said, "Discord? ”
Gao Xiang said: "Exactly, now suddenly I don't know how, many people say that the new policy of the Left Governor's Mansion is better than our Right Governor's Mansion, and the Governor and the lower officials are people who understand, so naturally they will not believe these words." ”
"But many people below will think that the Zuodu Governor's Mansion is not convinced by us, so they also hold their breath and complain."
Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Fuck it, which dog is this?" ”
Gao Xiang sneered: "The household department is over there...... These days, the Zuodu Governor's Mansion has been repeatedly praised ......"
"Gotcha, gotcha." Zhang Anshi felt annoyed, he was really fed up with this endless gossip.
"Yes, then the lower official will not say anything, and the lower official will continue to supervise the summer tax, and the governor will take his leave."
With that, he stood up and turned to leave.
Zhang Anshi said suddenly: "Wait, come back." ”
Gao Xiang stopped, and then turned around and saluted: "What else does the governor have to explain?" ”
Zhang Anshi said: "The situation over there in the household department, go and check." Well, you can look up a bird. ”
Zhang Anshi waved his hand and asked Gao Xiang to continue to be busy with his own affairs, but it was Chen Lilai who was summoned.
When Chen Li arrived, he commanded a few words, and Chen Li kept nodding: "Yes, yes!" ”
The weather in the capital is gradually cooling, the pace of time never stops, this midsummer is coming to an end, and early autumn seems to be coming.
More than half a month has passed, and although the household department has repeatedly urged, the money and grain books of the Right Governor's Mansion have still not been delivered.
This sudden news immediately attracted the attention of the DPRK and China.
Up to Wenyuan Pavilion, down to the various ministries, at this time also began to discuss this matter.
Because this is something that has never happened since Hongwu.
The operation of the imperial court comes from money and grain.
Because of the collection of summer taxes, the imperial court had money and grain, so it could carry out the next dispatch.
In fact, there are cases of delays in all political envoys and prefectures and counties, but such delays and overdues are often only the most days.
After all, if everyone delays, then this court will not be able to function.
But this time...... It's been too long.
Half a month has passed, and the right capital governor's mansion at the feet of this emperor has not yet sent the accounts, not to mention the household department, it is the princes of Wenyuan Pavilion, and they can't help but ask.
But if you ask, it doesn't work?
Whether it is Wenyuan Pavilion or the household department, the following is given to any state capital, and the other party knows that it is overdue, and he is afraid that he will tremble, walking on thin ice, and hurry up to serve it.
But the right governor's mansion is like an old fritter, no matter how you urge, his response will always be a sentence, soon, fast.
This is a bit unacceptable, at this time, the household department has no way to take them, so they have to be in a hurry.
In fact, they were in a hurry, and Zhang Anshi was also in a hurry, and all these situations were beyond his expectations.
Speaking of which, he also blamed himself, he didn't think in advance that so many workshops and merchants would appear in a year.
As a result, the original plan and manpower are simply not enough.
Even if it is a tax collector, the workload of a person is several times that of the past, but if you immediately recruit novices, it is obviously too late, and now this tax collection and registration is a technical work, but it is not by relying on the previous few errands, going to the countryside to drink a few meals, you can solve the problem.
Of course, Zhang Anshi's mentality is different from others.
At first, Zhang Anshi was indeed a little panicked, but slowly, he urged a lot, and he was relieved.
Anyway, it's already overdue, and this time it must have been delayed, in this case, a one-day delay is a delay, and a one-month delay is also a delay?
What's wrong with me Zhang Anshi delaying some days? Who to look down on?
The attitude of such dead pigs who are not afraid of boiling water suddenly made the household dumbfounded.
You know, a few days ago, you Zhang Anshi made amends and apologized, and earnestly said that you must use your life well.
Why did you turn your head and you scolded your mother?
At the end of July, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival of the twelfth year of Yongle was approaching, it finally ...... The accounts are sorted out.
The chief of finance of the Right Governor's Mansion personally took the book and sent it to Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi looked at the stack of books and couldn't help but say, "Don't show me this, I want to see the form." ”
Looking at Zhang Anshi's impatient appearance, the chief officer hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the household does have a table, and I ask the governor to take a look." ”
Zhang Anshi took the form, looked at the number, and then fell into a state of confusion.
"Nothing wrong, right?" Zhang Anshi raised his head, his eyes straight.
"Nope." The chief said very firmly: "I have calculated, there is no mistake, this money and grain ...... It's all in storage, and it's impossible to be wrong. ”
Zhang Anshi nodded, in fact, he knew that it should be right, but he was too shocked.
So he sighed: "This railway is not repaired in vain!" ”
After that, he said: "Hurry up and prepare a car and horses for me, I will personally go to the household department to ask for the guilt, this household department has urged for so many times, our right capital governor's mansion, it is indeed not good for others, and it is time to go to the guilt." ”
"Yes." The chief still felt a little strange.
This chief official, don't look at the name of an official, but in fact, he is an official, and he is ranked in the eighth rank, and he is subordinate to the Right Capital Governor's Office, and is responsible for contacting the money and grain revenue and expenditure of various prefectures and counties.
It can be said that he is Zhang Anshi's money bag, naturally, he still knows Zhang Anshi's temper, when did the governor be so polite?
At that moment, the carriage and horses were ready, and immediately, Zhang Anshi set off.
to the household department.
Here, when I saw the people from the Right Governor's Mansion coming, almost all of the officials in the household department rushed to tell each other.
"The money and grain from the Right Governor's Mansion have been delivered."
Immediately afterwards, when everyone learned that the right governor had come in person, they immediately hid in their own public house like a plague god.
Zeng Guang, the head of the household, could only greet him with a hard head.
He saluted Zhang Anshi and said, "Why did the governor come in person?" Just send a few scribes to contact you. ”
Zhang Anshi didn't respond to his greetings, but said directly: "What about Xia Gong?" ”
"Gong Xia went to the palace." Zeng Guang smiled.
Zhang Anshi said with a regretful face: "I haven't seen Xia Gong for a few days, and I haven't seen him for a few days, but I miss him strangely, I can't think of it...... We can't see each other today......"
Zeng Guang listened to it and thought to himself, Xia Gong still said that he had nothing to do with Zhang Anshi?
Zeng Guang laughed dryly and said, "Gong Xia has also been talking about the governor." ”
Zhang Anshi said: "I'm afraid I'm talking about the money and food of my right capital governor's mansion." ”
"Ah...... This ......" Zeng Guang was very embarrassed, he couldn't answer it!
Zhang Anshi said: "I personally delivered the money and grain book, and it can be regarded as a blessing." ”
As he spoke, Zhang Anshi glanced at the people who came with him, so someone came with a basket of account books.
Zhang Anshi said: "Hurry up and verify it here, this money and grain is a big deal, and it can't be delayed." ”
Zeng Guang's eyes were straight, and he couldn't speak for a while.
Zhang Anshi said again: "Oh, yes, I have a table here, so it's more intuitive to see." But you, the household, obviously don't want to accept these things either. But it doesn't matter, you can use it as a reference. ”
