Chapter 2: The Hereafter is Terrible
"Pei Gong is very busy these days, but he is not very willing to meet me."
"He doesn't like Hua Gong, so he doesn't like the officials."
Cao Chao shook his head, this guy can be described as a bad deed, similar to Zhong Hui, with a domineering appearance, no one pays attention to it, he always likes to put on music, and he can say a few words to anyone.
For this guy, you still have to be a little stronger, and beat it from time to time!
During this period of time, Luoyang was extremely busy.
Since the emperor changed the Yuan, the entire Great Wei temple has begun to operate at a high speed, in the past, the generals were busy, and now it is the temple to clean up the aftermath.
With such a large territory suddenly merged, there are so many things to solve.
It's still an old problem, the division of local counties.
It's quite a brain-wrenching task.
If not properly handled, it can also have serious consequences.
The old ministers, led by Wang Chang, have always thought that they should subdivide the states and counties.
They want to add several more states to the south, and they even plan to divide Jiaozhou into two, with Longchuan and other places as the core, and set up a Guangzhou to help each other with Jiaozhou.
As for Jing Yang, they are also preparing to subdivide the counties and divide those large counties into dense small counties.
But the young faction led by Zhong Hui opposed such a division.
They believe that this will cause a waste of manpower, increase the cost of the temple for no reason, and create many more places.
Zhong Hui even publicly said: Wang Chang and others set up more prefectures and counties in order to arrange more ways out for their children, in order to increase their official positions, so that close relatives can become officials.
Lu Zhi objected to this statement, and Lu Zhi wrote to the emperor, arguing that Zhong Hui and his proposal to integrate the counties were not conducive to the governance of the temple, but increased the risk of rebellion.
Both sides have their own set of rhetoric, and they quarrel with each other.
They don't just want to redivide the South, they even want to redivide the whole world.
Because of today's unification, many divisions in the past were due to the convenience of war, but now that there is no war, more detailed divisions can be made.
For example, in Youzhou, officials proposed to add Pingzhou, Qinzhou in Yongliang, Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou in Jingyang.
Cao Chao calculated slightly, according to Shang Shutai, after such a set of processes, there must be at least twenty-one states in Dawei.
In fact, subdividing the state is a good thing for Cao Chao.
Because the state only needs to add the history of the assassin, and the history of the assassin is the eyes and ears of the emperor, and when the imperial power is prosperous, the history of the assassin is the most powerful supervisor in the locality.
There are more people under Cao Chao's command who are responsible for supervision, which is good for recovering power and governing the locality.
But if you want to subdivide the county, this Cao Chao is a little unacceptable.
Although from the perspective of governance, detailed division can indeed enhance administrative efficiency, but this extra county, the official system to be arranged is different from the arrangement of a thorn history!
In this way, the expenditure of the temple is too great.
In the first two years, the income of the temple did not increase explosively again, but ushered in a stable stage, rising and falling.
There were too many wars to do this, and there were also reasons why the newly conquered areas did not bring much economic benefit to the temples.
Don't look at Cao Wei's conquest of the world, but in order to appease these places, Cao Chao issued tax exemption policies to both Shu and Wu, and the Great Wei temples even had to spend money to build and repair the wounds left by the war.
This requires a lot of money.
Cao Chao has already begun to think about reducing military spending to carry out construction, and then increasing spending at this time, which Cao Chao does not want to see.
As a result, the negotiations in the temple were deadlocked.
Pei Xiu didn't get involved in these trivial matters, and he was still running around for school things.
During these days, he basically stayed in Taixue, and discussed the issue of educating the world with those doctors in Taixue.
It's not easy to convince them.
But Pei Xiu has his own set of methods.
As soon as Wang Chang returned to the mansion, he learned that Pei Xiu had been waiting for him for a long time.
Pei Xiu's age is actually not very old, he is only one year older than Zhong Hui.
But because of his usual personality, Zhong Hui doesn't see him as a threat.
He is younger than Wang Chang's son, but Wang Chang is very optimistic about this young offspring.
He has always felt that Pei Xiu is a talent that can be created, and he is suitable to serve as Shang Shuling in peacetime.
If there is a war or an urgent need to deal with major matters, Pei Xiu is not a qualified Shang Shuling, his personality is a little lazy, he likes to drink and drink, he doesn't like to do things very much, and he is not active.
But if the world is calm, then he will be an extremely good Shang Shuling, and if he is in power, he can ensure that the whole society will not have a bad thing, because he hates trouble, and anything that causes trouble will be directly extinguished by him.
The historical Pei Xiu is indeed the same, after this brother came to power, he was constantly impeached because of his personal morality.
However, at that time, he assisted the good man An Shi, and impeaching others in front of An Shi would generally not succeed, Pei Xiu was protected by An Shi, and then began to take charge of Shang Shutai, and then in a very safe way, let Sima Yan complete the transition from King Jin to Emperor Jin, which did not happen anything unfavorable, when he died too much, the government affairs of the Western Jin Dynasty began to become chaotic.
Wang Chang looked at him with a smile, asked him to follow him into the study, and asked him to pour him tea.
He said: "In many later lives in today's temple, the old man thinks that only you and Du Yuankai can achieve great things. ”
"Zhang Hua has been favored too much when he is too young, Zhong Hui has no virtue at all, these two people will not have any good results!"
Pei Xiu lowered his head and did not speak.
Wang Chang couldn't help but complain a few more words, and then asked, "Pei Jun came to find the old man, I don't know what it was for?" ”
Pei Xiu said: "I came to you today for private matters, not for official affairs. ”
Wang Chang was stunned, "Your father and I are also friends, so it's okay for you to say it directly." ”
Pei Xiu then said: "Prince, Your Majesty came to me earlier and wanted me to be in charge of teaching, and you also know that the policy left by Emperor Wen no longer exists, and this matter is not as simple as in the past. ”
Wang Chang frowned, stroked his beard, and said: "I have heard about this matter, I heard that it was played by the Zhonghui, and he also said to outsiders: Today's officials and rites are unable to complete this matter."
Pei Xiu narrowed her eyes, sure enough, this guy!!
He continued: "Your Majesty insisted that I do this, and I originally proposed that the students must teach in the local area for one year, and only after they can participate in the examination. ”
"It's just a stopgap measure, and the expenses are so great today, and there is no way for the temple to do it by improving the treatment of the scholars."
Hearing Pei Xiu's words, Wang Chang pondered.
"It's a big deal, it's a year's worth of time."
Looking at Wang Chang, who was a little hesitant in front of him, Pei Xiu hurriedly said: "When you first played to rectify the rule of officials and put forward many strategies, you mentioned this matter. ”
"That's why I'm here to ask you what you think."
Wang Chang didn't rush to speak at the moment, although Wang Chang was born in a big clan, but he himself was still the kind of virtuous minister who cared about the world, not a clan dog, otherwise, he would not have put forward so many policies to restrict the big clan.
He hesitated now because Pei Xiu's idea sounded a bit risky.
In today's world where there are not many talents, these are all treasures in Taixue, this is the pillar of the future, Pei Xiu's policy should not destroy the thriving situation of Taixue today, right?
Don't fail to achieve the goal of educating talents at that time, but toss and scatter Taixue, then there will be a big problem.
Seeing the worry on Wang Chang's face, Pei Xiu continued: "I have already been to Taixue, and they say that my ideas may cause the students to leave one after another, and now that Taixue has lost its original status, saying that my policy will further undermine Taixue. ”
"After I went back, I thought about it a lot, and I don't think there's anything wrong with what they said."
"So I think, change your thinking, give your majesty a lesson, don't just stare at the students to toss who it is in the future, if you want to be an official, if you want to participate in the assessment, you must first be a student for a year!"
"In this way, it is not just staring at Taixue, it can be said that it is treated equally!"
"Especially those children of the big clans, they want to be officials so much, and they themselves have university questions, let these people serve as scholars, won't this problem be solved?"
Wang Chang's eyes widened.
Yes???
"Pei Jun! Don't be in a hurry! ”
"If you do this, the impact will be more serious than that of Taixue"
"How calm you have to be, this matter is not easy, you can't be in such a hurry!"
Pei Xiu stood up suddenly, his face turned red, "Does the Duke know that this matter is not easy?" Those who are ministers should share the worries of the king, and they should not hesitate to die! Since the public is a scholar, and he is so favored by His Majesty, and he doesn't want to repay it, how can he dissuade me?! ”
Wang Chang was stunned, what is going on with this person?
Pei Xiu is now learning and using, "Prince, since you are not willing to help, then allow me to go back first, I will go back this time, I will complete this matter with the officials, as long as I can share the worries of the king, why fear the consequences?" If something happens in the end, I'll take it at my own risk!! ”
Pei Xiu said, turned around and left here.
Wang Chang stood up and took a deep breath.
Now these posterity! None of them have been made! Everyone is anxious and progressive!
After the death of these old ministers, Dawei will be finished!
He hurriedly looked at the slave on the side, "Don't go and stop Pei Xiu for me!" In addition, quickly gather many Shangshutai books for me! Let's just say that I have something very important to discuss with them!! ”
