Chapter 499: Wang Cheng: It's better to be an official
Wang Cheng and the officials of the DPRK and China have laid down procedures for resolving some matters, and then they have been running in some places, and the results have been good.
With this set of processes, after these problems arise, things are directly followed by the process. The operational efficiency of the imperial court has been improved a lot.
After seeing the success, Wang Cheng was greatly excited, and then began to work harder to implement the reform. At the age of forty-seven this year, he is no longer young. He wanted Daqian to continue to shine as brightly as the sun in the sky.
At this time, some ministers wrote that the change was too harsh and should be postponed.
The court disposed of the nobles and heroes who encroached on the acres of land, and they were often exiled by the whole family, which was the family of the Qing family, the hairpin family, and the noble status, but they only encroached on some land, returned the land, and then compensated some more. The exile was too harsh.
This kind of thinking is not just one person, but a lot. These nobles, eunuchs, and heroes did not treat ordinary people as their kind. They never thought that the lives of the people were the same as theirs.
Wang Cheng was not surprised to see this book, for those nobles and families, the royal family was very clear. In their cognition, they no longer regard ordinary people as human beings, but as talking tools, cattle and horses.
Although this kind of idea is not mainstream among the nobles, official eunuchs, and Haoqiang, it is very popular and marketable.
After all, the difference in living standards between the two is too great, the people at the bottom are illiterate, the cultural gap is like a world of difference, and it is hard all year round, and many people may not eat meat once a year. How to convince those nobles who are well-dressed and well-fed that these people are the same kind as them.
When this book was sent to Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng didn't expect that someone would send his face to him and let him beat him.
Since this is the case, Wang Cheng naturally will not be polite, and immediately issued a harshly worded edict. He reprimanded him, and finally dismissed him.
Wang Cheng didn't believe it, these people didn't understand the matter of clearing the acres. These people are either from noble or official families, and there are not many people who are really from the bottom of the people.
If it was just to clear the acres of land, it could indeed be done at that time, but how could those ordinary people be the opponents of the local nobles, heroes, and eunuchs? Even if they were cleared at that time, the land would be returned to them as soon as the court officials left.
Even more than just land, these people will become their tenants. Wang Cheng couldn't be clearer.
When he was a child, he specially asked his father, since he returned the land and gave compensation, why did he still forcibly relocate and exile those nobles and heroes?
His father told him that if he did not forcibly relocate, it would be difficult for those people to survive, even worse than not being able to return their fields.
After learning the truth of the matter, Wang Cheng knew that exile and migration were necessary, otherwise the revenge of those nobles and heroes would soon ruin the people's families.
They will not realize their own problems, they will only feel that they have been humiliated by the ants, and then they will naturally redouble their revenge.
The imperial court originally wanted to deal with it gently, wanting the best of both worlds, but the result was that those people's fields were encroached upon, and the people disappeared. They thought that the court was weak and could be bullied, and that the court was just putting on a show.
After seeing this situation, the imperial court immediately changed its style, so the imperial court could only strictly enforce the encroachment on the acres of land.
For the people, those acres of land are the capital of their livelihood, and if they are encroached upon, their own livelihood will become a problem.
The official is not bored and the people are not bored, and only one of these two choices can be chosen, and the Wang family finally chose the official and the people.
After severely punishing those who opposed the change, there was no one to oppose the change, and Wang Cheng began to vigorously promote the change, so he became even busier.
He wants to complete the change as quickly as possible in the next time.
Every day during the day, he would consult with the courtiers about the government affairs, deal with various government affairs, and after the evening, he would deal with the music and approve it. It can be said that it is late every day.
Even if the kings of the pre-Huai period are added, Wang Cheng is also the most diligent and hardworking.
His talent is not as good as others, and his intelligence is only the posture of a middle-class person, since he can't compare with his talent, then use the acquired effort.
It can be said that in addition to sleeping and eating time, most of the time, Wang Cheng is handling government affairs and implementing law changes. Under these circumstances, the speed of the large-scale reform has been markedly accelerated.
Officials in various places did not dare to slack off their administration, many corrupt officials were taken down, and then replaced with new officials, through the rectification of government affairs, the most obvious feeling is that the government decree is more accessible, in addition to these, there is also the income of the imperial court increased by two percent.
Many officials cooperated with local nobles, eunuchs, and heroes to conceal their fields. Many of the fields opened up by the powerful and noble are not recorded at all, and naturally they will not pay taxes.
The imperial court's investigation is naturally to clean up these problems.
In Shangyang Palace, Wang Cheng is dealing with some notes, and he needs to deal with thousands of notes every day, and after reading them, he has to dispose of them.
If he does not agree with the way to deal with it, then her opinions and ideas need to be written down and let the officials implement them.
Wang Cheng summarized some common problems and disaster relief, and then gave a set of mature solutions.
This also made it much easier for him to deal with government affairs, and now Wang Cheng is considering whether to implement other aspects as well. There are many people in the royal family who oppose it, and they say it so impatiently, I am afraid that there will be problems with the implementation of those officials.
The candlelight flickered, and the light and shadow on the music in front of him swayed, and Wang Cheng felt a little blurry. So he put down the pen and moved it for a while, and then he felt that his eyes were sore, a little dizzy, and a little sleepy.
Call the palace people at the moment: "Go and prepare hot soup to refresh yourself." ”
The palace people quickly prepared the soup, and then sent it to Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng drank hot tea, ate a few snacks, and then held on to his spirits, and completed the last few recitals, which was relieved.
After putting the music away, get up and go back to the palace to rest.
In the next few days, Wang Cheng's spirit became more and more sleepy, and in desperation, he had to find the imperial doctor to prescribe some refreshing decoction.
After the imperial doctor diagnosed Wang Cheng's pulse, his face changed slightly, and he said that His Majesty was too hardworking, and he needed to use soothing medicine, and then rest more, not to be too tired, let alone use refreshing medicine. Administrative affairs should not be handled for more than two hours per day.
But at this time, it was a critical period of the new law, and there were many affairs in the court, so how could Wang Cheng be willing to do it.
The direct edict asked the imperial physician to prescribe some refreshing medicines, and the imperial physicians did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, so they had to prescribe some refreshing medicines, but they also asked for some tonics, so that they dared to prescribe, if they did not add tonics, they would rather disobey the emperor's orders.
Seeing this situation, Wang Cheng agreed, so after careful discussion, several imperial doctors prescribed a prescription and told Wang Cheng to rest more.
After the prescription came out, Wang Cheng ordered someone to go to cook the medicine, and after it was cooked, he drank a pair of decoctions, and sure enough, after a while, he felt that his body was warm and comfortable, and his spirit was much better than before, and he was very satisfied.
So in the next few days, Wang Cheng worked even more unsleepably and forgot to eat, completely forgetting the advice of those imperial doctors.
