Just now, Chang Zhixian listened outside the door for a while.

I was surprised to find that Han Zhen was not ignorant of government affairs, but handled it in an orderly manner.

extinguishing fires, rescuing the injured, and determining losses......

I couldn't hold back for a while, and I actually thought about taking the school exam.

Looking at Changzhi County, which suddenly appeared, Han Zhen smiled and said, "What countermeasures does Changzhi County have?" ”

"Nope."

Chang Zhixian shook his head, his tone depressed.

Han Zhen said with a little meaning: "Is it not, or can it not be implemented?" ”

Well?

Chang Zhixian looked slightly surprised.

Han Zhen Zhengse said: "If you want to completely eradicate corruption, it is simply impossible, greed is human nature. For example, those princes in the court, who is not familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics. Even the literati who read the books of the sages and sensible are greedy, let alone those low-level officials. ”

These words made the old man of Changzhi County blush.

Because he's one of them.

Covet!

From ancient times to the present, all dynasties and dynasties, no matter what the system, cannot solve the problem of corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

Zhu Chongba killed so ruthlessly, what was the result?

The officials below should be greedy or greedy.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Han Zhen continued: "The officials are up and down, it's nothing more than that the salary is too low to support the family. The three-pronged approach, not to mention the complete elimination, can also greatly improve the problem of extortion and oppression of the common people. ”

In the Song Dynasty, the officials had no money at first, and wanted to support their families, so they could only make a living by asking for bribes.

If you lead the officials to do things, they must be bribed first.

After that, the imperial court had to change its strings and give the officials a lot of money, and they were as generous as the officials, jumping from one extreme to the other.

Especially the officials who served in the six departments of the three provinces, and Yu Lu even chased the officials of the six grades of the court.

At that time, Wang Yansuo, the right secretary, once said: "The officials of the three provinces, the years are tired and the rank is excellent, the day is given meat, the month is rich, the cold and summer are served, the official horses are in and out, the order is in charge, the suburbs are stained with gifts, and they are allowed to serve their relatives as officials, such as the doctor and the son." ”

According to the "History of the Song Dynasty: Records of Career Officials", during the Northern Song Dynasty, local state and county officials were 20,000 per month in the upper county, 12,000 in the lower county, and 5 to 3 stones in the month of Lusu. In addition to the regular income, there are also various subsidies, such as tea, wine, kitchen materials, salary, artemisia, charcoal, salt, and even forage for horses, and clothing and food for accompanying servants, all of which are quite considerable.

It is conceivable how high the officials were at the beginning.

With a good income, the situation of extortion and oppression of the common people was immediately improved.

Unfortunately, this situation did not last long, due to the problem of three redundancies, coupled with the annual annual currency expenditure, the imperial court's finances were tightened.

The Xu officials' salaries have also been reduced again and again, from being no different from officials, to 700 wen a month plus half a catty of mutton, and then to today's 3 or 400 wen, all of a sudden it has returned to the original point.

In addition, it is not enough to improve the treatment alone.

What was the result of the Northern Song Dynasty's implementation of high salaries and honest pensions for officials?

Therefore, it is also necessary to supervise and formulate severe penalties.

Such a simple truth, Han Zhen knows it, Changzhi County, who has been in the officialdom for so many years, doesn't understand?

can mess around in the court, which one is not an old fox who has become a fine old fox.

Speaking of which, it's still one word, money!

The Northern Song Dynasty is short of money, very short!

The economic base determines the superstructure.

The bustling city of Tokyo has given many people the illusion that the Great Song Dynasty is rich and all countries are connected.

As everyone knows, there is only one in Tokyo City.

How can a city not be prosperous if it is supported by the power of a country.

Han Zhen's words really shocked Changzhi County.

Glancing at him up and down, Chang Zhixian asked, "Have you ever been to school?" What is the rule? ”

Han Zhen said with a smile: "After studying village school for a few years, I can recognize some words." ”

"It's a pity."

Chang Zhixian looked regretful: "If you enter the court, you must be a capable minister." ”

Han Zhen sneered: "Then pat the emperor's ass and help him collect money?" ”

“……”

Changzhi County was silent for a moment and forcibly explained: "When the official family first ascended to the throne, they implemented a new policy, worked diligently and loved the people. Now he is only deceived by traitors such as Cai Jing and Wang Hao......"

"Come on."

Han Zhen shook his head and said with a smile: "Changzhi County is not going to put gold on Zhao Ji's face. King Duan is frivolous and can't rule the world, and he Zhao Ji is not a material to be an emperor. ”

Chang Zhixian was shocked and angry: "You dare to call the official family by name." ”

"Why not?"

Han Zhen got up suddenly, and Changzhi County was so frightened that he retreated again and again.

"I don't believe in being ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang, I only believe that the prince will have a kind of Xiangning! This world was originally taken by Zhao Da from the orphans and widows of the Chai family, he Zhao Da can take it, why can't I? ”

"You, you ......"

Chang Zhixian trembled, and his heart was terrified.

In the county hall before, he had vaguely guessed Han Zhen's thoughts, but neither side had broken it at that time.

But right now, hearing these rebellious words, I'm afraid that Han Er doesn't want to let him leave Linzi County alive.

My life is at rest!

Han Zhen suddenly smiled and restrained his anger: "Make a naughty smile, don't take it seriously in Changzhi County." ”

"Hehe, the county is not in good health, and there will be fewer such naughty smiles in the future."

Chang Zhixian sneered, rolled up his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Sitting down again, Han Zhen asked, "Changzhi County, how did the imperial court deal with the rebellious people in the past?" ”

Seeing him change the topic, Chang Zhixian couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and muttered: "The bandit leader recruits an and arranges a position for an idle military attaché." As for those who were coerced, they would not be embarrassed, and they would either be released to the countryside to farm, and those who did not want to farm would find a job in the community. ”

It is impossible to kill, otherwise if you kill them all, who will go to farm?

Han Zhen tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I want to expand the scale of the salt factory and recruit those rebellious people as workers. Is it feasible to release a batch at the same time and let them return to their hometowns to farm? ”

The land in Linzi County is barren, and there are many mountains and little land, even if the reclaimed wasteland is not raised for two or three years, there is not much harvest.

Except for a few paddy fields and fertile fields, the cost performance of other dry fields is too low.

It is better to change agriculture into industry, and use part of the profits obtained from refining salt to buy grain from the south.

For example, a farmer who cultivates seven acres of dry land can harvest about 10 stone of grain every year when the wind and rain are good.

According to the current prices of corn, soybeans and wheat, it is converted into nineteen guan.

Excluding the cost of seeds, the loss of agricultural tools, etc., the wealth created is about 16 times.

If this farmer goes to the salt factory, he can purify about 500 catties of coarse salt a month, and if he sets up an assembly line operation, it will be even more.

After the 500 catties of coarse salt are purified, the costs and expenses are removed, and at least 300 catties of profits can be created.

It's 3,000 a year.

Three thousand guan is enough to buy seven or eight hundred stone of rice in the south!

Otherwise, how could he have saved up enough food and ordnance for an army of 10,000 people just by relying on these dry fields?

After thinking about it in his heart, Changzhi County frowned and said: "It is feasible and feasible, but how to deal with the state government officials going to the countryside to inspect it?" ”

Han Zhen replied: "It's nothing more than a sharp word, as long as you make enough money, you can do it well." ”

"Yes!"

Chang Zhixian stroked his beard and reminded: "Now the governor of Qingzhou is Zhao Ting, this person is greedy by nature and has a great appetite. I heard that he was about to step down, and he was collecting money on a large scale. I'm afraid that if there is no Wanguan, he won't be able to fill his stomach. ”

"I'm not afraid that he has a big appetite, I'm afraid that he is not greedy!"

Han Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Now that we have expanded the scale, it is time for us to redefine certain rules, which were too complicated and cumbersome before. ”

Hearing this, Chang Zhixian's heart tightened and asked, "How are you doing?" ”

Han Zhen said: "In the future, it will become a commercial stock system, I am responsible for production, you are responsible for the upper and lower dots and purchase sales, and I am seven and you are three." ”

"This ...... Is thirty percent less? ”

When it comes to money, Changzhi County is not confused at all.

Although he was a second-tier dealer before, after taking the goods from Han Zhen, he was able to sell them twice.

Now it has become a commercial stock system, only 30% is taken, and there are more things to do.

Han Zhen shook his head: "It's a lot, and in the future, it will expand the scale and become an assembly line operation, which can purify 100,000 catties a month, and there will be 50,000 or 60,000 yuan for the three ingredients." ”

Hearing that it can be divided into fifty or sixty thousand yuan a month, Chang Zhixian's hand couldn't help shaking, but he sighed on his face: "Three achievements and three percent, it's up to you." ”

"I want to implement light taxation in the county, I wonder if Changzhi County can help me?"

Hearing this, Chang Zhixian did not answer and asked: "Are you really willing to let me go at that time?" ”

Han Zhen said loudly: "I, Han Zhen, have always been the same. A year and a half later, you took millions of family assets to walk your Yangguan Road, and I crossed my single-plank bridge, and the two have nothing to do with each other! ”

"Good!"

With his assurance, Chang Zhixian gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, this county will help you!" ”

When I was an official in the past, I was constrained at every turn.

The officials violated the yin and the yang, the gentry were intertwined, and there was a general judgment of Zhizhou on the head.

After three years of term, I couldn't do a single practical thing.

thinks that he Chang Yukun was also an ambitious and ideal young talent back then, but he was forced to look like this.

It's ridiculous to say that right now, he actually relies on a bandit to show his ambitions.

However, he is too lazy to dwell on it, this may be a unique opportunity in his life, if he misses it, he is afraid that he will regret it for the rest of his life.

And there's no need to worry about the back road.

A year and a half later, he went to Tokyo City with a million fortunes to enjoy a prosperous life.

"If you want to be lightly punished, you must first rectify the officials. The officials will remain unchanged, and the people will still be oppressed after all. The three-pronged approach you just mentioned is a bit on paper. The mere abolition of the hereditary system will be resisted by the officials, and even if those officials don't say it openly, they will be resentful in their hearts, and they are afraid that there will be many incidents. ”

After the decision, the momentum of Changzhi County's whole person changed instantly, and he was high-spirited and scolded Fang Xuan.

Han Zhen was interested and asked, "What is the good policy of Changzhi County?" ”

"The hereditary system needs to be abolished, but it can't be rushed, and it needs to be slowly figured out. Although these officials are hateful, they are indispensable, and it is precisely because of this that they dare to be unscrupulous. ”

This is true, if there is no such officials, the magistrate will immediately become blind.

One person's energy is limited, Han Zhen only manages a village, and he has to arrange for the brothers around him to help, not to mention a county town with more than 3,000 households.
