Chapter 154: Pure and Virtuous Chen Feng
"Can you make it available?"
Chen Feng had just sent away the four children, and he was about to go back for a little rest, and when it was time to disperse, he went out to play directly, but at this time, an inopportune voice came from outside.
'Hey, it's alive again......
Hearing the voice, Chen Feng couldn't help muttering in his heart, but on the surface, he said with the appearance of a humble gentleman: "Is it Chengming?" Come on in. ”
"I've seen the envoy."
As soon as Pan Junfang entered the hall, he first saluted Chen Feng.
But before he could bend his waist, he was grabbed by a pair of strong hands.
It was Chen Feng.
"Why should this be the case between you and me?"
He waved his hand, and after putting on an expression that he didn't want to hear this, he said in confusion: "What is Chengming coming from?" But something went wrong in the selection of talents? ”
As Jiangxia Taishou, Chen Feng is still very busy.
At the very least, he will be responsible for the recruitment of talents in the entire Jiangxia.
To put it simply, it is responsible for Jiangxia's inspection system.
It doesn't sound like much thought.
After all, his task seems to be just to pick the right person among them.
But one thing to say, although the inspection system in these years has become a product of the cooperation between the family and the clan, there is still an assessment that should be there.
For example, if a person wants to become a county magistrate, then he must start with Maocai, and if he wants to become Maocai, he must not only be recommended by others, but also pass at least three questions...... That is, a short exam.
But now that the world is in chaos, these rules will naturally change together.
At the very least, Chen Feng is thinking about changing...... Filial piety or something, he will still admit it.
But before that, he will also come up with some questions to appoint officials.
As for what people on the outside will say?
That's no problem at all.
After all, these people can be said to be recommended by himself.
As Liu Bei's confidant, he doesn't even have the right to recommend people?
Apparently impossible.
However, this matter was difficult to do, so Chen Feng directly handed it over to the newly appointed Jiangxia Juncheng...... Pan Jun, Pan Chengming.
Of course, he doesn't do nothing, after all, he is too guarded by a county, and when he is talked about outside, he has to start at least as a Chen envoy, how can he be as lazy as before?
What's more important is that these talents will be enriched to various places in the future, so he naturally has to check them.
Therefore, he firmly grasped the right to test the questions in his hands, and even wanted to make some money from it.
That's why he was so nervous when he saw Pan Jun coming, and directly asked the other party if there was a problem in this regard.
Pan Jun hurriedly shook his head and said, "Most of the scholars are very positive about this, but there is no problem. ”
Chen Feng was puzzled: "It's not that there is a problem with the selection of talents, but what is the purpose of Cheng Ming's coming?" ”
"Not a pension policy yet?"
Pan Jun sighed and said: "The envoy should know that with the current Jiangxia treasury, it can't support such a huge expenditure as the pension government no matter what, and more importantly, it ...... The pension funds for the new season are about to be distributed. ”
Speaking of this, he didn't say anything more, and at the same time looked at Chen Feng with a slightly scrutinizing gaze.
He wanted to see a little annoyance on Chen Feng's face.
Only when the other party has this kind of look can he continue to persuade.
But to Pan Jun's disappointment, Chen Feng did not have any trouble on his face at all.
This made him very surprised: "Isn't the envoy worried about this?" ”
"Why bother?"
Of course, Chen Feng knew that the main reason why Pan Jun suddenly came to Jiangxia as a county at this time was because Liu Bei didn't expect him to be so ruthless in the pension administration, and wanted to let his friend persuade him.
After all, Liu Bei promised all the promises at the beginning, and now it is naturally difficult to veto them directly, even if Chen Feng gives out so many things, it is difficult to say anything.
But Chen Feng is not a persuasive person.
Of course, this is mainly because he still has money and food available, otherwise, he would have listened to the persuasion a long time ago.
"Forehead ......"
Seeing the indifference on Chen Feng's face, the corners of Pan Feng's eyes twitched, and he said: "Nearly 50,000 old people, which means that Jiangxia has to give 150 stone grain every season...... With such a terrifying expenditure, could it be that you already have a way? ”
After saying this, his eyes were full of antiquity.
One thing to say, if Chen Feng could really raise 1.5 million stone of grain in such a short period of time, he Pan Jun might not think about persuasion at all.
"Not yet...... But what kind of expression do you have? ”
Chen Feng shook his head casually, just saw the horror on Pan Jun's face, and couldn't help but say, "You don't think I'm going to mobilize all that grain back, do you?" How is this possible? Such a large amount of food, even if I have the heart to mobilize, but I am powerless. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Pan Jun was stunned again, and subconsciously said: "If you don't mobilize back, how will you distribute it?" ”
"Let the counties distribute them themselves."
Chen Feng shrugged his shoulders very calmly and said, "In this way, there will be no 1.5 million stone grain mobilization...... Of course, the most important thing is that I can't do it in such a short period of time. ”
Although the entire Jiangxia can collect millions of grains every year, the problem is that if these grains are added to the transportation, I am afraid that they will be directly reduced by half.
Even if it's by water.
In this regard, Chen Feng still has some points.
Therefore, his initial idea was to put all this pressure on the treasury of each county.
What's more critical is that if these county orders can't do it, then he can use this to replace a group of people.
Although it is an era of war, it is still enough to dismiss officials by fabricating the figures of the government treasury...... and even the great crime of killing the head.
"I have roughly calculated the grain stocks in the county government treasury, which is enough to support this year."
After thinking about it, Chen Feng took out a booklet, handed it to Pan Jun, and explained: "If you don't believe it, Chengming can read it for yourself." ”
"Good ......"
Pan Jun subconsciously looked at it, but as soon as he turned two pages, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Chen Feng: "Envoy ...... Do you really believe in the county treasury so much? ”
Obviously, he once served as a county magistrate, and he knows very well how terrifying counterfeiting can be in various places.
Of course, it's not that it's fake, it's just that the grain harvested every year eventually disappears.
As for where the hell did you go......
Whoever asks about this is finished.
"Or else?"
Chen Feng said strangely: "Since the county treasury has written it like this, can this grain still disappear out of thin air?" ”
Pan Jun swallowed his saliva and asked carefully: "If Jun is not mistaken, the envoy also made a county order at the beginning, right?" ”
"yes." Chen Feng nodded and said, "It is precisely because I have served as a county magistrate that I know the truth that there are as many as there are in the treasury...... Isn't it? ”
“……”
Pan Jun was dumbfounded.
He subconsciously wanted to ask Chen Feng, 'Didn't you meet the wealthy family at that time, and the consumption of officials in all aspects?' ’
But after thinking about it, he couldn't ask.
Because Nanyang at that time was already close to the occupied area, Chen Feng, who was the county commander in Chaoyang...... It can really be said that he is in charge of the army and governs the government, and he is almost a single-handed existence in the local area.
In this way, he naturally will not encounter the problem of the vacancy in the treasury.
But the problem is that such a thing really exists, and it is definitely not rare.
Because of this, Pan Jun didn't know what to say for a while.
"Do you mean that there is not so much grain in these treasuryes, or ...... Not at all? ”
Of course, Chen Feng was not a fool, he just wanted Pan Jun to ask this question, and now after seeing that the other party was sluggish, he also took the opportunity to ask this question.
At the same time, Chen Feng's face also appeared unprecedentedly solemn.
It was as if he was saying that he had never heard of such a thing, and now he ...... The three views were shocked.
“……”
Seeing this, Pan Jun didn't know what to say.
But he finally spoke, "Officials everywhere will live after all, and ...... Most of the officials are not easy, so this ......"
Pan Jun has clearly not forgotten his mission...... Help Liu Bei persuade Chen Feng not to support him so generously.
After all, such a large expenditure, let alone in the war era, even if it is a peaceful and prosperous era, it is unbearable.
Especially Chen Feng is still so 'pure and kind'.
“……”
Chen Feng stared at Pan Jun for a long time, and it wasn't until the latter began to be ashamed that he suddenly sighed: "It seems that there are bad people in this official." ”
Pan Jun didn't know how to take this at all, so he remained silent again.
Chen Feng ignored him, but said with emotion: "Fortunately, I have another way, otherwise, wouldn't it make Xuande lose his trust to the people?" ”
"Envoy, envoy, is there still a way?"
Pan Jun was stunned again, and asked blankly: "Yes, what is the solution?" ”
He couldn't figure out how he could get more than a million stone of grain.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have persuaded Chen Feng...... After all, if you really talk about it, the pension policy is really good.
"Of course."
Chen Feng nodded confidently and said, "Actually, as early as before, I was already thinking about what to do if I really couldn't get such a big amount of food...... Fortunately, I thought about it, otherwise it would have been over at this point. ”
