Chapter 891: The New Deal Harmful (Seventh)
Ye Chunqiu looked at County Magistrate Yang with encouragement, hoping to know more about Ningxia.
County Magistrate Yang looked at Ye Chunqiu, who listened to An Jingning, and continued: "In fact, it is not for the small county to speak for those official troops. The guards have established garrisons. This is the ancestral system of Taizu. Whether it is good or bad, let's not talk about it, farming can save military treasury. This is always right. Now, the imperial court does not pay because of the guards' farming, but the imperial envoy investigates the farming farming, and the power of farming fell into the hands of the imperial envoy. When the imperial envoy arrived at the guards, his eyes were higher than the top. This made the guards neither have military pay nor rely on the imperial envoy. It would be fine if the imperial envoy could compassionate the suffering of the officers and soldiers. If they were ruthless, they would be worse than life and death."
In fact, after hearing the words of Yang County Magistrate, Ye Chunqiu knew that this was the content of the new policy developed by Liu Jin and others. Liu Jin had made a new policy back then. The content of the new policy was actually reasonable, such as cleaning up the fields in the world, cleaning up military garages, laying off redundant officials and local governments, as well as various garrison offices, and redundant officials, and redundant staff.
These measures are correct. They can be seen at a glance that the problems of the Ming Dynasty are considered as the right medicine. Ye Chunqiu was not deeply touched in the capital, but now he has been to the local area and has only felt it.
The new policy hurts people.
It is correct to say that local officials, redundant staff, and clear the land and acres of land?
Of course, that's right, but the problem is that since we need to clear the gang, lay off and clean up, we must go to the local area. You see, on the surface, we have to lay off redundant officials and redundant personnel, but for supervision and implementation, a group of imperial envoys who came to the local area were added. If the imperial envoys wanted to do business, they would inevitably need several officials, staff, officials and staff, and a group of servants who were responsible for the work. As a result, the local redundant officials and redundant personnel were gone, and there were a lot of redundant officials who came from the imperial envoys, but there were also a lot of redundant officials who came from the imperial envoys.
No matter how bad the local officials are, they are still rooted in the local area and have some understanding of the affairs of the countryside. Even if they are greedy or corrupt, they always have a sense of their own. When they arrive at the local area, they are completely disgraced. They are neither realistic nor care about the consequences. Even if they are caused, they will push all their ties to the local area. Therefore, these people are particularly cruel and destroy the local ecology.
Not to mention the conflict between local officials and imperial envoys, even if they are really out of line, they have little to do with the common people, but they are different in the army. Once the redundant officials of the border army were abolished, it means that the imperial envoys took charge of the guards. Although there was also an exploitation relationship between the frontier army and hereditary military officers, the military officers always regarded the military households of the guards as their own tenants. Greed is greedy, and they always give you food to you. The imperial envoys' food is not enough. He is here to do a vote and has no intention of taking root in this for generations. He finally went on a business trip, and it only took a few years. In addition, many people can come out, mostly stuffed money on their superiors, so they have to pay back the ticket price no matter what. So they are exposed, and they are knocking on their bones and skinned them in the name of the new policy, leaving behind a mess, patting their butts and leaving.
Any new policy is of good intention. From Wang Mang's new system to Wang Anshi's reform, it is almost impeccable in theory. This is no different from the current new policy. Should redundant officials and redundant officials be abolished? OK? OK; should the land acres be cleared? OK? OK!
But what the result is...
Ye Chunqiu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Fortunately, there was no news of returning the Anhua King in Ningxia now, which made Ye Chunqiu feel more at ease. He also exchanged a few greetings with the Yang County Magistrate. The Yang County Magistrate must have complained. Although he did not dare to point out the disadvantages of the new policy directly, he also said something about the bullshit in some places. At night, the Yang County Magistrate held a banquet and invited several gentry from the local area to accompany him.
Ye Chunqiu couldn't bear it and barely ate a few cups. One of the gentry couldn't help but joke: "At first I thought Ye Shixue was also coming to supervise the new policy, which was really scary. A small county like Tongjin could not withstand the new policy..."
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but smile bitterly again. After eating, he thought that he would still have to rush to go tomorrow, so he asked County Magistrate Yang to arrange for a rest.
The next day, under the sight of Yang County Magistrate and others, Ye Chunqiu took the new army in Zhenguo. Ye Shikuan and other recruits rested overnight, slept well, and finally recovered their energy. Then they followed Ye Chunqiu and continued their journey and entered the pass. This pass was once known as a large granary, but in the Ming Dynasty, it was not as good as before. Ye Chunqiu was busy rushing to the road and was unwilling to stay. Then he left the pass, feeling that he had no time to go west to Yangguan.
The westward, the less vegetation and less population. The weather here is bad, and when there is strong wind, sand and dust will roll. Fortunately, before leaving the customs, local officials have been entrusted to help purchase enough dry food, so there will be no trouble.
Ye Chunqiu roughly calculated that it took thirteen days to enter Ningxia from the capital. In two days, he would enter Ningxia City. There were military guards stationed along the way. When he learned that it was an imperial envoy, he was polite and very gentle. However, behind this gentleness, especially in the eyes of the personal soldiers behind the military officer, Ye Chunqiu could see the bone-broken hatred.
The imperial envoy, who was in the name of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was said to have a very bad influence in Ningxia. It would be fine if he was corrupt and abused the law in the name of the new policy. He even directly forced the wife and daughter of the military officer. Once he had power, he really did not regard himself as an outsider. Now, whenever he heard the imperial envoy here in Ningxia, he would mostly have an hatred attitude.
Ye Chunqiu thought that his father also came to Ningxia in the name of the censor, and it seemed that he was taking over the official duties of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and continuing to clean up the military farm.
Thinking of this, Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but worry. The Shaoqing of Dali Temple now ate it, which was equivalent to patting his butt and leaving. His father was his scapegoat. Now the atmosphere in Ningxia is full of fire and fire. Once it is burned, the consequences are unimaginable.
When he learned that the imperial envoy's headquarters was in Ningxia, he continued to go to Ningxia and finally arrived in Ningxia in the evening.
Ningxia is more like a border city at this time, with tall walls and arrow towers and urns everywhere.
Not long after, when the city learned the news, someone came to greet him with a few quick horses. Ye Chunqiu greeted him. The man was on the back and bear waist, and his eyes sank. He swept over Ye Chunqiu's face and said, "I've seen the guerillas in Ningxia."
The attitude seemed respectful, but the voice was cold.
