Chapter 347 slowly(1/2)
Wang Juke is not as in as he is.
Sima Guang, in terms of difficulty, he can rank among the top 50 Chinese people in five thousand years. Although he caught him off guard, he couldn't be careless, so he said: "I will talk about one more thing, that mansion. When I arrived at Zheng Baiqu, I was only thinking about the difficulty of building the canal. Even if I built the canal itself, it was not easy."
Zhao Xu nodded.
Not to mention anything else, the eunuchs who had gone down to the terrible prison canal, said that Wang Ju was too extravagant. Now that the Mulan Pi incident has come out, can it be possible to be extravagant? Even if it is extravagant, you have to understand, but you don’t know where the money is spent.
"I didn't know about the land at that time, so I also discussed with Your Majesty before leaving. Your Majesty said that the country's land sale is not in a proper way, and it is mainly to settle soldiers. I went to Shaanxi again. This time, the local tyrants were already convinced that the court was 100% and that the Zheng Bai Canal was overhauled, so the ugly land began. Your Majesty, you can't believe it. Because I and Hou Magistrate Hou and the County were exploring repeatedly, raised the canal head slightly, and the irrigation area was wider, and even extended some of the Zheng Canals of the real ancient Qin State.
It is what everyone calls Zheng Canal. However, the soil and water damage is too serious. This is the origin of the Tang Dynasty's canal heads, which is because of the shallow water level, and the canal heads cannot diversion water, which makes the entire canal deserted. Therefore, the water diversion canal heads were re-selected. The entire Zheng Canal was still unable to be opened due to the water level problem, including the vast northern areas, which cannot be irrigated. However, even these areas have begun to enclose land, including 15 hectares of madi and 35 hectares of millet land. Several envoys went down and saw it.
"Your Majesty asked me to settle the sergeants as much as possible, and the fields were all gone immediately. Even the people could not settle. There were no soldiers to settle there. In desperation, I immediately sent the sergeants to various counties to collect the fields immediately. Using this as a criterion, but I really didn't think about it. This was too troublesome, and most of these gentry were rich and powerful people, and if they were not done well, they would stab the hornet's nest. Even the ministers in the court ignored the country and the generalities and spoke for them."
"But the canal workers cannot delay. So the ministers mainly took the canal workers and then discovered the case of deducting the clerks. However, this had nothing to do with the gentry's circle of land. But these gentry counterattacked the ministers and bewitched the people's hearts. The minister beat them up and then released them. But soon, they came up with a new trick, forcing the landlord of the ministers to drive the ministers out of Jingyang City. The minister had to build a hut on the canal workers. Sima Gong asked himself. What did the officials do at that time? I am the Shaanxi Field Envoy, and I am also an official of the court."
In this matter, some powerful people did fail.
If the great court official ordered him to live in a thatched hut, he would be very despised by the court.
Sima Guang groaned muffled and did not answer. He was thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.
"But at that time, the Weichen was still watching. Then he used his subordinates' father to let him help him to help him make a move. First, although the Weichen confiscated the land, he had secretly sent many people to check the hidden fields. If it is certain, as long as they are stable and obeyed, they will return them when they are divided in autumn. Of course, it cannot be confirmed that the land that is randomly enclosed will not be returned. In addition, he will be asked to let him make a noise. If the entire Zhengbaiqu is built, 20,000 hectares of fertile land will be added, which can be used to make it.
Thousands of hectares of inferior fields have also become fertile fields. Then the sergeants, civilians and other industries who make a living in Zhengbaiqu alone can support more than 100,000 households and people. And once built, it will be one of the most important grain bases in Guanzhong and a base for raising and training the Poche Army. Then there will be many opportunities for merchants here in the future, and it will be easier and more easier to make this money than deducting the hard money from the land. Use this to reconcile with the gentry."
"When doing well, we should be polite and then soldiers, and then benevolent and then punish. This is the Confucian way." Zhao Xu said.
This is not the case, but it is indeed the case on the surface.
This is what makes Sima Guang speechless.
How could he know that when Wang Ju heard about Quantian, Wang Ju's scalp would become numb and it would be very troublesome. He was not in the place, but in the court, so he was guarding against them.
Otherwise, when the fields are divided in autumn, I don’t know how many heads I will lose.
"I dare not, most of the gentry compromised, but some of them were still unstoppable. Then they had the courageous act of burning the county government. In fact, the court was based on leniency, and the ministers also considered that the minister would be based on leniency, otherwise this act was equivalent to rebellion. However, in order to compromise, I talked about business. I also thought that so many people came, and there would be many Poche and Xiang army to farm here, so I chose seven locations of the Transportation Defence Party, set aside some open spaces, built some houses, and then established a Caoshi or a small market town here. There are still a few more places in the future. In the future, each county will have some extra income and will not strip the people."
"However, some time ago, Weichen saw many widows and poor people, and these people were pitiful, so he discussed with Hou Magistrate Hou, and chose a location in a future Cao Market in Sanyuan, built some houses, established a nursing home, and used the rental fees of the Cao Market to take in the nursing home, and the government would support it, and provide the generous beauty of the whole court. This is the house where Sima Gong and someone impeached Weichen. Or Weichen could have great skills and could be with Hou in the capital.
You can collude. But you can send a central envoy to check again. That is a place for support. There are some arrangements in the house, which are the kangs and fireplaces that the Weichen thought of. Most of these people are old people, and it is cold in winter, so these arrangements are made. But I believe that the arrangement of supporting will be different from the arrangement of newlyweds and wedding houses. The central envoy can tell at a glance. If the nursing home can be turned into black and white, it doesn't matter to me that the wedding house was built by the minister, and I am afraid that this move will be gone. The ministers in the world will be heartbroken and no one dares to do anything anymore."
Everyone looked at Sima Guang.
The incident was clear, but they also had misunderstandings.
Since Sima Guang knew about this, he sent his disciples to go down and see it.
However, Wang Ju's actions led to the hatred of these gentry regardless of whether they enclose the land or occupy the land, so they made a noise and slander the nursing home as the wedding house that Wang Ju misappropriated.
I don’t believe that I can’t live in a nursing home. This is too easy to identify, and Wang Ju dared not lie. Besides, I just said it very clearly, and I haven’t figured out where to get married yet, and what kind of wedding house I have become.
This is the most fierce blow.
There are actually two strikes in front. They are also very heavy.
The first is to let Eunuch Huang take it back. A simple question. Why did Han Qi be there? Sima Guang didn’t ask, and Han Qi immediately attack Wang Ju? You know, he gained great benefits in the process of defeating Han.
I believe that even if Gao Taotao listens, he will be somewhat repulsive. Even if Gao Taotao is conservative, she likes a moral gentleman who is blown out of being extremely arrogant, not a hypocrite.
The second thing he exposes Qingni's side again. Sima Guang can't wash away this suspicion!
But this has nothing to do with Wang Ju himself.
The last pit is the real counterattack.
Even the nursing home has become a wedding house. Can the previous statement still be convinced?
Wang Ju finally said: "Your Majesty, I found out that when I was young, I had distributed the more than ten acres of land I had cultivated for my livelihood to the villagers. The real property was one of the thousand stakes in hand, and the other was the small house worth 100 stakes in Yanzhou City. Or it was a dairy sheep, which my little sister liked. I had been raising for a long time. Please take a look at it."
"Your Majesty, did you do the right thing to do if you don't have the consent of the prefecture in spring? Wang Ju boasted of Qu Gong and told him about his loyalty, kindness and righteousness, but in fact he was bold and arbitrary, did not follow the heavenly times, and did not pay attention to the court rules. Your Majesty used Qu Gong to embellish him. In the future, other officials will imitate him. I hope Your Majesty severely punishes this son to correct the court's principles." Sima Guang said.
Anyway, it is wrong to kill people this spring.
Therefore, Sima Guang insisted on letting go.
"Sima Gong, you said that the lower officials are a traitor and a loyal person, Wang Mang. I just want to say one thing, what kind of person was Wang Mang before he exposed his ambitions? Look at what I did, it was full of handles. Is this Wang Mang?"
"Wang Ju, don't even think about it. In the future, you will be a traitor to my Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Xu was really annoyed, and he asked: "Sima Qing, Wang Juchun killed several vicious officials, but they were not as good as Jiao Yong. When Han Qi killed Jiao Yong, who did he report to him? What time did he consider? Sima Qing, why didn't you impeach? You are an important official in the country, why did you bully a small official with small achievements? This is the Confucian way?"
"His Majesty……"
"Don't say anything, I don't listen to anything. All I see is these hands. Sima Qing, you always regard yourself as a loyal and honest gentleman, don't lose your ethics, so that all the righteous gentlemen in the world feel heartbroken."
Han Jiang also took the opportunity to say, "Sima Gong, although Wang Ju is wrong, he is still young. In your eyes, he can only be regarded as a child, so give him a chance to correct him."
"What Mr. Han said is very true," Teng Fu said from the side.
Wang Ju said it easily, but it can be imagined that the difficulty of canal workers will not be mentioned. How can so many disputes make people satisfied? Sima Guang is a two-system official and an imperial teacher. What kind of gentleman is it that you are a child?
The main reason is that Wang Ju dug this pit too deep. The nursing home can make Sima Guang say the wedding house, but even if Lu Gongzhu wants to say good things for Sima Guang, he can't do it anymore.
Sima Guang's face was so dark that his face was choked.
"Wang Ju, sit down."
Wang Ju retreated to the end and sat down at the end.
Of course, this matter is not over, and Sima Guang is eyeing it. Where is there any good things? But Wang Ju doesn't care. It doesn't matter, Wang Anshi will go to Beijing soon. I can't deal with you, Wang Anshi can deal with you.
Besides, Han Qi is also there.
It’s Han Qi who has come out, do you dare to mess with him?
Zhao Xu looked at everyone and said, "I asked you all to come. First, I asked Wang Qing about the situation, and second, I also had some things to discuss with you. Xue Xiang reported that there were still frost and drought disasters in some areas of Shaanxi. Wang Ju, have you heard of it from Shaanxi?"
“It’s a little bit, but not very serious.”
"That's not OK. Shaanxi was originally under the pressure of the Western gangs and had heavy military service. How could they be wronged? However, the court's finances were indeed very difficult and they could not allocate money to rescue disasters. Therefore, Xue Xiang asked the court to give the Shaanxi Transportation Department a monk's certificate and order the baogu to provide relief to frost and drought prefectures and counties. What do you think?"
"The country has no money or money?" Wang Ju asked in surprise.
"Wang Ju, I don't want to say anything anymore. I can't sleep or eat, how can I feel uneasy?"
In order to discredit Wang Anshi, later generations concealed this history repeatedly for Han Qi, Sima Guang and others, but the financial crisis that actually calmed down for four years was on the verge of causing the country to collapse.
Fortunately, the Xixia people did not win the Battle of Dashun City. Otherwise, they would have won the battle with one another and invaded, and the Song Dynasty might have a serious crisis. It was directly in the hands of Zhao Xu. They would face the possibility of a change of dynasty.
No one said anything.
Of course, after Wang Anshi worked hard to make money, the national fiscal crisis has slightly relieved, and many people have become more and more powerful again, and this proposal is difficult to pass.
Wang Ju was a little surprised. It turned out that Wang Anshi didn't get this monk's certificate first.
But after thinking about it carefully, he immediately understood the truth.
The monk's letter is the legal proof of the monk.
The saying is good, but it is actually selling.
Many people don’t understand. Even monk certificates have to be sold, because this is a big money-making process.
Actually, I’m really wrong, this is not making money.
There is a heavy problem involved, that is, there are too many monks and Taoists in the Song Dynasty. They own a large number of temples and fields and do not pay taxes. Anyway, the gentry in the hidden fields is not worse than them.
However, there are a few monks who work. These people are obviously monks, but they are actually parasites in the country. Raising less is the only way to be educated. But if you raise a lot, for example, there are nearly 500,000 monks and Taoists who were counted during the Tianxi period. Just raise them. Some monks openly shouted out money like honey. Therefore, they also do business and lend money. They also use methods to make money, forge land coupons, invade people's fields, exploit people, and fish and meat. Even Shaolin Temple is no exception. They draw the mountains and forests around Shaoshi Mountain with hands. This is our property. Some ordinary people came to chop firewood, and a group of monks carried sticks and used Shaolin martial arts to beat the people to their heads and blood, crying for their parents, and running away.
That's not all, these monks and Taoists also have servants. Many people rent their temple fields but do not pay rent. Therefore, the more deformed the national taxation becomes, the more deformed it becomes.
Therefore, the Qianxing period issued an edict to prohibit temples and markets.
Last year, Han Qi was helpless and issued an edict in the Secretariat that all the temples and temples would be demolished in parallel. The big temples could not be accused of, and the small temples would be demolished together. But that's true. There are nearly 300,000 monks and Taoists, including servants, and tenants who farm for them, and more than one million households were involved.
Once a monk's certificate needs to be bought for a lot of money, it can limit the number of monks who become monks, which will have a positive impact on the country.
"Han Wei, draft an imperial edict." Zhao Xu said.
It’s okay to raise a few monks, but the people have to save them.
Han Wei wrote a draft edict.
Zhao Xu also said: "In the past, the ancestral system was sent to the magistrate, and the political achievements were verified by the examination institute. The deputy interviewed, but this policy was gradually abolished. I read the examination institute. All officials' political achievements, regardless of their advantages and disadvantages, were average. Therefore, officials did not act, and were promoted to advance, and even the national government gradually abolished. I am really sad. Sima Qing also mentioned heavy rewards and punishments many times. I plan to let Teng Fu take the exam for the examination of the various supervisors. If the courses are not as high as the average, the annual salary will be reduced. Those with excellent management status will be given a reward for gold and silk. As for officials above the supervisor, the Censor Zhongcheng and the Censor personally presided over the examination. What do you think of?"
Everyone was silent.
Indeed, this inaction caused the Song Dynasty to suffer.
No matter how good the political achievements are, they cannot improve, but they can show off their writing skills and speak loudly.
"Everyone doesn't object, Han Wei, please write another edict."
Wang Ju sat down and didn't speak. In fact, he lacked relevant measures, so he still had a confused way of exams. However, Zhang Juzheng's exams...
It’s better to have less things than to do more, and Sima Guang is eyeing him.
Zhao Xu also said: "Sometimes ago, Han Jiang wrote a letter saying that the harm of farmers is not too bad than the law of serving. In the severe cases, most of them will lead to bankruptcy. In the second case, the state service will also require heavy expenses. He heard a terrible thing. There was a father and son in Jingdong. According to the law, one of them should be given as the yamen. His father told his son that I should seek death to prevent you from being hungry. After that, he committed suicide and died. He also heard that the people of Jiangnan forced their grandmother and mother to remarry in order to escape from serving. I am really sad."
"Sima Guang also talked about this matter. The rich and poor in the villages were uneven. For example, there were rich households in Dongxiang, and the family property was 1,000 households in Xixiang, and the family was 100 households in Xixiang, and the family was 100. However, the households in Xixiang must be very uncomfortable. The people who work hard, even if they meet a farmer, the people say that they dare not plant mulberry, dare not raise cattle, and dare not store grain. Otherwise, they will have more mulberry, buy more cattle, store grain for two years, and store ten horses of cotton. The neighbors are rich, and they are the front of the yamen."
"If the people don't plant mulberry, how can they come? If the people don't raise cattle, how can they cultivate them? If the people don't store grain and silk, how can they deal with the famine? Wang Ju, you have killed the clerks, but the clerks also suffer from the clerks."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Ju replied casually, thinking in his heart that he had already discussed the suffering of the servants.
To be continued...
