Chapter 141: That's what you want
"Say, you and I don't need to hide that between the monarch and the minister."
Chen Fan arched his hand, "With all due respect, the problem of Jianghuai is not something that can be changed by one or two courtiers, but a matter of the entire Han court." ”
Liu Zhi understood what he meant, if the system of the imperial court was not changed, and he was not determined to punish corruption, even if there were one or two virtuous ministers, it would be useless.
Just like the original Guangling Taishou Zhang Gang, it was not easy to appease Zhang Ying, and Emperor Shun's edict was wasted.
The government is chaotic, the order is changed overnight, and the people have no security, so they can only hope for one or two good officials.
Liu Zhi's heart was heavy, and he reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"It's not that I don't want to change, these lands are now in the hands of the powerful family and the clan, if you want to change it explicitly, I'm afraid you will have to repeat the mistakes of the new recklessness of the past."
Any emperor who wants to make a difference has actually felt the crisis brought about by land annexation, and every generation of emperors has tried to change, but to no avail.
Chen Fan is familiar with history books, how could he not understand this truth, and he sighed after hearing it.
"But last time, I also discussed this matter with Nandun Hou, and made a clever plan, to repair the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark."
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Chen Fan's eyes lit up and he looked at him expectantly.
"Actually, it's easy to understand, that is, it is not clear that the land policy is formulated, but in practice, in the name of bandits, the land is collected by the imperial court, and then divided to those displaced people."
Liu Zhi carefully explained the strategy he had formulated with Deng Yan, and Chen Fan's eyebrows fluttered when he heard it, "Wonderful, wonderful, hahaha......"
This kind of thing can only be done by Liu Zhi, an emperor with modern thinking, and it is purely a kind of cunning and robbery.
You family members ignore the laws of the imperial court, and I don't reason with you, if the emperor plays a scoundrel, who can compare.
"Go ahead, it's still the same thing I said to Dong Ban, no matter what happens, I'll carry you in the back."
"No, Your Majesty, the ministers must govern Guangling well."
"Well, I'll give you a year, if you do a good job, I will transfer you to be the history of Xuzhou Thorn, and gnaw down the hard bone of Jianghuai with Dong Ban.
It also gave the Han court a granary of the world. ”
Liu Zhiyu is serious, he really has high hopes for Chen Fan, and now, he only hates that there are too few and too few honest courtiers who are dedicated to the country and the people.
"Your Majesty, the minister wants to nominate one person for you, the famous man Du Mi."
"Dumi?"
I recommended it to him before, although I haven't seen some of them, but I've heard of them somewhat, but the name is very unfamiliar.
However, since Chen Fan solemnly recommended it, he must have his merits.
"This person was recruited by Situ Huguang with me back then, and successively served as the Taishou of Daijun, Taishan Taishou and Beihai Xiang.
He is honest and upright, and he is a meritocracy, when Zheng Xuan was appointed as a township, it was Du Mi who recommended him to enter Taixue. ”
It is estimated that he was implicated by Hu Guang again, speaking of which, Hu Guang also introduced a lot of talents, but he was timid and afraid, just like Taifu Ma Rong, he lost his backbone.
"It just so happens that the Taishou of Jiujiang County, Yangzhou, has resigned, so I will issue an edict to recruit him to Jiujiang to echo you."
Chen Fan can be described as a happy event today, and immediately took the initiative to ask, "Your Majesty, I want to leave for Guangling County immediately, no need to wait." ”
"Okay, since you're so impatient, let's do what you want."
Liu Zhi patted him on the shoulder, "Do a good job, I'll wait for the day when you succeed and return to the dynasty." ”
"Minister, you will live up to Your Majesty's trust."
Chen Fan is different from those who are full of praise for virtue, he is a practical person, and he solemnly promises at this time, with a solemn expression.
Looking at his back as he strode out of the door, in the scorching sun, it inexplicably gave him a sense of sadness and grandeur that the wind was sluggish and the water was cold, and the strong man was gone.
Guangling County is rampant with banditry, and it is true that several successive Taishou have been imprisoned or dismissed due to unfavorable governance, and almost none of them have a good end.
In the officialdom, as long as Guangling County is mentioned, everyone is discolored, no one wants to come to this place, and some people even give gifts and bribes to avoid it.
However, he still believes in Chen Fan's ability, but there is a huge Han Kingdom, and it is still too few and too few to rely on such a few talents.
By the time he takes the first temple exam this fall, he should be able to select a group of preparatory talents.
But it will take at least seven or eight years for them to experience and grow into the backbone of the imperial court.
Thinking of how long it would take, Liu Zhi felt that his heart was very anxious, no wonder Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms said that he was eager to seek talents.
It's really a feeling to be in love.
It's a pity that Li Gu and Du Qiao, the two great talents, were killed by Liang Ji, otherwise it would be easier to have them to support themselves now.
By the way, it is said that Li Gu's sons are also good in terms of personality and talent, and after killing Liang Ji before, he issued an edict to redress the grievances of Li and Du.
Especially his eldest son, Li Ji, Ku Xiao is his father, known as a clear name, and at that time he intended to recruit their brothers into the court as officials.
It's a pity that they all said that they wanted to keep filial piety for their deceased father for a year, and they couldn't go out, so they declined.
It's easy to recruit talents, but most of those who are introduced are mediocre people, and those who are really talented and have good conduct are really rare.
After a busy day, Liu Zhi even picked up a few bites of food casually, and asked people to summon the three princes and monks to order him to come in.
The countermeasures discussed with Chen Fan just now have to be discussed with them before they can be summoned.
It wasn't until late at night, after reviewing the recital, that Liu Zhi took a breath.
Zhang Rang came in to serve him to change clothes and wash, Liu Zhi was about to fall asleep, but he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, tomorrow and tomorrow are my father's birthday, I want to have a good time for him at home." ”
Since Liu Zhi became pro-government, Zhang Rang, who had become developed, sent someone to bring the family to Kyoto to live.
This is human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it, Liu Zhi naturally agrees with it, and specially rewards a lot of money.
Zhang Rang was the eldest son in the family, and it was because the family was poor that day that he voluntarily entered the Hejian royal state as a eunuch.
Later, he was rewarded by the king of Hejian to his father Liu Yi, and Zhang Rang has been by his side since then.
To say that Zhang Rang's nature is actually not bad, he is also good-eyed, and it is estimated that Emperor Han Huan was too favored, and then he was insatiable, and he went crooked step by step.
"Your father should have taken a few more days off to accompany his old man and enjoy the joy of family."
When Zhang Rang heard this, he couldn't help but smile, who knew that Liu Zhi's words changed and said again.
"However, if the famine worsens today, don't be too ostentatious, just invite some relatives and friends to get together, and don't alarm the courtiers."
He has feelings for Zhang Rang, but he has always been worried that the other party will repeat the mistakes of the past and become the vicious "father" in history again.
So he deliberately beat it all the time, lest he go the wrong way.
"Yes, the slave understands and will not worry His Majesty."
