Chapter 1412 Serving the Officials and the People
The "Jingzheng New Policy" has three core reforms, one is administrative system reform, but commercial reform, and the third is land reform. It can be said that the other series of reforms are based on these three reforms, and the most important of them is land reform, which is nothing more than the foundation of the country.
This is also the difficult, slowest and most resistant reform.
Listening to Sun Chuanting's question, Chen Qiyu spoke in person this time, saying: "Go back to the palace, we have integrated the land data in the province, confirmed, measured, and registered the land owners one by one, and carried out orderly matters such as ordering. Currently, Songshan Prefecture is piloted..."
Sun Chuanting put down the teacup, and Chen Qiyu's words came to an abrupt end.
Sun Chuanting stood up and looked at the 30th senior official in Nanzhili standing in two rows. His tone could not hide his disappointment. He said, "I know that since the emperor ascended the throne, there has been a huge change, especially in terms of governance, you are a little difficult to adapt. The official has become a slightest, and he cannot be used to eat, drink, and gambling. He is punished at every turn. The rules and regulations are becoming more and more strict. He is dismissed from office and imprisonment. It is like a sword hanging above your head... You have concerns and uneasiness, and these are understandable. But in other words,
, You are of high position and powerful, and you are powerful when you walk. Few people dare to support hope, shine their ancestors, blessings and family, and shine all over the land... This is what everyone yearns for, hopes, dreams, and may not be able to get it for decades! With these, is it just for enjoyment and for a whole body of light? You can't bend down and see those people who used to be like you? Those who have a worse life? You can't think about the bad things in the past and try to make some changes?"
Sun Chuanting said something very disappointed and said earnestly. Looking at a group of people, he was tempted by temptation.
Chen Qiyu and others' expressions were tight, not knowing what expressions they should have.
Sun Chuanting held his hands behind his back and continued, "The emperor said, 'As an official, the people are the people'. I have thought about this sentence for a long time and found that it is very unusual. I have discussed this point with Mr. Bi Ge for many years, but I still haven't understood it. But I am a little convinced that the "officials" should have a humble heart and a pragmatic intention. Don't think that doing things for the people is embarrassing, or losing the official style and damaging the prestige. If you sincerely serve the people, you won't care about these things!"
Chen Qiyu and others bowed, listened to the excuse, but did not dare to refute.
Sun Chuanting looked at a person and finally became angry in his tone, saying, "I have seen a lot of this trip. The most important thing is that people are overly erratic. It is not that they cannot do it, but that they are unwilling to do it, unwilling to do it, dereliction of duty, and lazy government. They just want to sit in the yamen to act as a domineering blessing. They ignore everything that happens outside. They resist the pressure from above, and they can resist, and they can hide if they can, but they are unwilling to do it! If you stretch out your hand, you have to repeatedly and force them to do it! This is also a change.
The key to the reform is to interrupt your lazy tendons! This time, I told you something, which was also what the emperor asked me to convey: Be prepared for danger in times of peace and safety, and you will die! You all understand and reflect on yourself. I will give you another sentence: Reform is imperative, and if you don’t change your thoughts, you will change people. There is no difficult official, and only those who can’t do things. You must either achieve the established goals of the cabinet or leave as soon as possible. Luzon, Old Port, and Suihai Provinces all know? Where is the lack of people!"
Every word Sun Chuanting is like a knife, with murderous intent.
The whole hall became quieter. This quietness was different from their previous uneasiness, but a kind of panic, fear, and at a loss.
Those who had ulterior motives were sweating coldly at this moment. They thought that letting Sun Chuanting see the opposition force and reality of the "civilian" would make Sun Chuanting hesitate and would not force him too much.
However, he did not expect that Sun Chuanting ignored it at all and put out the bottom line with great momentum.
Chen Qiyu frowned and looked solemn.
He must admit that what Sun Chuanting said was right. They were used to many things. No matter how much pressure the court was under, they were indifferent. They found reasons to shirk in various real situations, and then had no change in their mentality.
However, it is really difficult to change. Even though he is looking down on everything, who is willing to go to the ground to get a hoe?
Zheng Youyuan was as heavy as he was, but he was thinking differently.
Sun Chuanting is really completely different from Bi Ge Lao. Bi Ge Lao knew how to be with Guang and knew how to stabilize the overall situation, but Sun Chuanting couldn't. He was as sharp as a sword, showing his sharpness and murderous aura.
There will be no trouble in Nanzhili, right?
The business reform has greatly affected the benefits. Why do we have to pay the tax that could have been evaded now?
The census involves all aspects, so it is not so easy to register. Not to mention the hiding of large families, even small families are unwilling to report more people. After all, it is all taxes!
Let’s talk about Tianmu, this is a reform that almost all the people oppose. It’s a powder keg when you touch it, and it will soon be a large-scale reform. It can be imagined that Nanzhili will be turned upside down.
Others' thoughts became even more complicated. They lowered their heads, and their eyes were constantly flashing with cold sweat.
The so-called rituals first and then soldiers were spoken seriously. Sun Chuanting finally showed his sword and said, "This trip, I shouldn't watch what I shouldn't watch. You will show me all. I will come back next year. At that time, I will not just stand here and talk. I have already made them three times larger than the prison in Yingtianfu, which is enough to send all the officials in Nanzhili into it!"
It was just the most direct, and it was an ultimatum, putting the knife around these people's necks.
As the governor of Nanzhili, Chen Qiyu looked solemn, raised his hand, and said: "The lower officials will immediately start to adjust the officials above and below in Nanzhili, establish a complete inspection system, set goals for the progress of the 'new policy', implement the relevant regulations of the court on 'dereliction of duty', and implement the 'responsibility to be assigned to individuals'..."
Sun Chuanting's expression remained unmoved and felt awe-inspiring.
These officials from the border are the lazy government and the source, and they seemed to have been ignored before.
Chen Qiyu made a letter of guarantee, his tone was strong, and I wonder if it was Sun Chuanting's pressure to play a role.
Other officials at all levels looked at each other quietly, and their scalp was numb and they felt that something was wrong.
Sun Chuanting did not express his satisfaction or dissatisfaction. He looked at everyone's faces with a faint expression, as if he wanted to remember them.
These people are all local officials from the fifth to third grades, and they are as quiet as a cicada and dare not raise their heads.
Sun Chuanting didn't say anything more, and explained to Chen Qiyu a few words and turned it into the governor's yamen and got on the carriage.
As soon as he got on the carriage, he let out a long sigh and patted his head with great headache.
It is not easy to put pressure on these local officials. If it is severe, it is afraid that they will rebound and refuse to do so. If it is mild, it will not work. Instead, it will become more lazy and it will take some effort to ensure that it is necessary.
Chen Qiyu and others sent Sun Chuanting out and watched his carriage leave, so they naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
When the emperor left the capital, the provincial officials were demoted to three levels in a row and were kept for punishment. If Sun Chuanting did this, it would be like a severing the future of these people!
Fortunately, Mr. Sun said too much harshly, but the board was not knocked down. I don’t know how many people were feeling heavy and a little happy.
