Chapter 927 Capable County Captain
Rebellion is not a trivial matter. Even if you don’t participate in it personally, it will be a fatal matter once it is found out. Liu Weng has a beard and has been the deputy prime minister. How could he do such a thing?
He could instinctively object, but Old Man Qian smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, you are too worried. The Japanese drifted on the sea and could not make a living. Robbery happens from time to time, so why bother to make a big deal!"
"no!"
Liu Qing shook his head firmly, "You don't know how powerful Wang Ning'an is. We sent Wang Gui over, but he confiscated Donglin and banned all academies. This kid is already crazy and makes him smell a little wind. No one can get better from us, and all the major families!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Liu, then don't let him know!" Old Man Qian smiled and said, "The Japanese are embarrassed. You can do things with some money. Both sides are not familiar with each other. How can you leak the news?"
Liu Han still hesitated, "What should I do if the Japanese kill indiscriminately and do not obey the rules?"
Old man Qian said, "The world is unkind and treats all things as straw dogs. Liu Xianggong, at this time, are you still hesitating?" Zheng Xia suddenly stood up, "That's right, Wang Ning'an wants to destroy my Taoist throne, his heart is punishable. Only by fighting to the death can you have a chance of winning. Using the Japanese to make trouble is a good move. No matter what the effect is, it's okay to try it first!"
The other two people also nodded, four to one, Liu Han was also unable to turn things around, so he could only nod... But after coming out of the secret room, Liu Han was soaked in sweat.
Oh my God, what did I do?
He actually hired Japanese people to kill the people of the Song Dynasty. One day, he would uncover the matter and be infamous for thousands of years. He would never be able to raise his head for generations!
well!
Liu Heng really regretted it so much that he shouldn't have been involved with these people. It's crazy, it's really crazy!
It’s useless to regret now. Liu Ying can only pray that the matter should not be revealed, and Wang Ning'an also has a tragedy that he can’t deal with... God, you must bless him!
What have Wang Ning'an done these days? In addition to arresting people everywhere and sealing off academies, he also went around the people to see how the people are doing and what they really think.
Moreover, it is easy to destroy a world, but it is difficult to build a world.
Wang Ning'an visited Suzhou, Sizhou, and Chuzhou, and also walked around Hongze Lake. In front was Chuzhou, which was the main site of Lianghuai Salt Field and the destination of Wang Ning'an's trip.
During the break, Zhang Dun, Chen Shunzhi, and Wang Anli, who had been conducting civil inspections, were all present.
"The people in Huainan are very miserable."
Wang Ning'an made it clear that "the land of Lianghuai is not fertile enough, and with constant floods and droughts, the output of farmland is only two-thirds that of Hebei. The two can maintain two Huaii. The first is the canal transportation, and the second is salt!"
Wang Anli said: "The prince can see clearly. It is precisely because of this that the court built roads, spread rumors from the canal gang, and the wives of the people were panicked, which led to the chaos of strikes... Speaking of which, the people were pitiful! The canal had gold every day, but a hard worker could only earn three kilograms of rice at most, and barely support the family... The real interests of the canal were all taken away by officials, canal gangs, and merchants, layer by layer, and all were taken away. I have walked through Yangzhou and other places. The most luxurious building was not the yamen, but the temples and academies. With the money, the merchants often gave tens of thousands of guan and hundreds of thousands of guan in the temple. The magnificent construction was built with magnificent spirit, and all the jewels were piled up with money. As for the academies, they were even more willing to spend a lot of money. To be honest, I looked at these places and had only one thought in my heart, that is, rebellion!"
Wang Anli was full of grief and anger. His words made Wang Ning'an unable to help but ponder. He said that he would not worry about lack of worries but unevenness. In fact, any dynasty, even at the end, would be ten times richer than the beginning of the founding of the country!
But why did such a wealthy country perish?
The reason is very simple, the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, the rich are in the fields, countless servants, they eat and wear all their clothes and enjoy excessive enjoyment, while the poor are deprived of the last bit of land, bear heavy taxes and labor, and struggle on the brink of death. The country can no longer maintain justice and fairness, so it loses its moral binding force. Naturally, the people must rise up and create a new world again.
"The problem of canal transportation must be solved. There is a messy hall that cannot be kept. After sorting out, a canal transportation company must be established to turn the coolies into formal employees, give them reasonable remuneration, and allocate some dividends to set up schools so that the children of workers can study and change their destiny. In addition, the system of salt and iron monopoly must be cancelled. I will convince Your Majesty to allow salt to be traded freely, so that the two Huaihe River can have more wealth... With these two parts, the school must be fully built within three years, and the enrollment rate of male and female students must reach more than 70%!"
Chen Shunzhi grinned, "Many people still believe that women are not talented and virtue. The enrollment rate of female students in various places is far lower than that of male students. If the average is 70%, it seems not easy for boys to enter at least 90% of them!"
Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "If it's easy, I need to say it! In the future, all regions will have to formulate development plans, and it will be a comprehensive development plan. As for the evaluation of officials, we must know the implementation of the plan according to the implementation of the plan."
When it comes to the evaluation of officials, Zhang Dun became interested.
"Master, I heard you gave the court new advice?"
"Yeah!" Wang Ning'an nodded, "I suggest that Your Majesty separate the human rights and the procuratorial power, establish a captain in the court, and be under the jurisdiction of the deputy prime minister, responsible for supervising the implementation of the imperial decrees and supervising the corruption of all officials. For any violation case, especially large-scale engineering construction, professional supervision capabilities must be required."
What Wang Ning'an talked about happened to be the content of this opponent's attack.
You can't hide your own problems just because the matter gets bigger and bigger. Wang Ning'an is not a person who avoids conflicts. There are disadvantages in land acquisition and loopholes in assessment officials, so it cannot be solved.
In the past, the supervision was relied on the Censorate and the Censorate. Needless to say, the Censorate was mainly aimed at the emperor. As for the Censorate, it was responsible for supervising all officials and picking up and impeaching.
It’s just that the Censorate is full of clear streams. If the professionalism is not enough, it often becomes a tool for party struggles and has become increasingly deviated from its duties.
Wang Ning'an also thought about it, the supervision system of the Song Dynasty was still too weak.
He imitated the Ming Dynasty, established the Censorate, supervised the six ministries, as well as various prefectures, prefectures, military counties... He focused mainly on corruption. With the construction of the two railways, there will be countless major projects in the future, and there will inevitably be disadvantages. A special agency urgently needs to watch them.
As for the candidates of the Censorate, Wang Ning'an is very fond of Wang Anshi. I have to say that this incident made Wang Ning'an completely relieve Wang Anshi.
No matter what, Aoxianggong is a gentleman who is dedicated to the country. He is completely different from the other nobles. Giving him the crucial Censorate will not become a tool to crack down on dissidents, but will promote major construction and allow the Song Dynasty to enter the fast lane of development.
"Zihou, why are you talking about this? Do you want to go to the Censorate?"
"No, no!" Zhang Dun waved his hands repeatedly, "Master, I am still willing to do things. I should leave it to others for the matter of being a targeted person."
Zhang Dun paused for a while and said, "If you ask Xianggong Wang to evaluate all officials, you will always be much fairer than Gong Lu, and you will not be wronged by good people and suppress capable officials!"
Zhang Dun was very moved while talking, as if he was pointing out something. Wang Ning'an's face darkened, "Zihou, don't hesitate. Who are you trying to stand up for? Tell me!"
Zhang Dun smiled embarrassedly, "Since my master asked, I'll tell the truth. We're in Yancheng ahead. The county magistrate named Zhang Feng is my clan brother!"
Everyone suddenly realized that no wonder Zhang Dun was unwilling to say that. He and the Zhang family were always awkward. To put it bluntly, they were just arrogant!
In terms of this Zhang Qing, he was eight years older than Zhang Dun, and he was the old husband Zhang Dexiang's nephew. He was well-behaved early and had an official position.
The Zhang family had high expectations for him, but luck made people feel bad. He participated in the imperial examination twice in a row, but all failed. When he participated for the third time, Zhang Dun passed, and Zhang Heng, who was one generation lower than him, also passed the exam.
This made Zhang Shi look extremely embarrassed.
He gritted his teeth and participated twice, but failed the exam five times in a row. He went from a young man to a middle-aged man and turned into a greasy uncle, but he did not pass the Jinshi.
There was no choice but to sign up for the Ministry of Personnel, relying on his background to seek a small official.
But over the years, Wang Ning'an has been constantly rectifying the administration of officials and has been constantly suppressing and cleaning up officials who have entered the government. Zhang Feng can only get a county lieutenant who is too small to be even smaller.
It makes sense that Zhang Dun looked down on the Zhang family. When it comes to exams and being an official, he is the most powerful, and the rest are not worth mentioning.
As it turns out, Zhang Dun was misunderstood.
Although Zhang Shi is not good at taking the exam and is not a big official, for a person with real skills, just a small stage can be full of glory!
After Zhang Shi took office, he rectified his troops to face the rampant pirates, took militias to go out to sea three times in a row, counterattacked pirates, and killed more than 400 thieves entrenched on the island.
Then Zhang Qi promoted the settlement and irrigated freshwater to irrigate saline-alkali land. He set up 200,000 acres of fertile land. He distributed the land to fishermen and people who were harassed by pirates and allowed them to farm for free.
In addition, Zhang Feng also negotiated with several salt merchants and asked them to take the treatment of salt cookers.
In just less than two years, Zhang Yu worked very well. The people praised him. He didn’t know the county magistrate, but he couldn’t know the second county magistrate!
Such a person was ranked third in this assessment.
The reason is also very strange, because all the taxes were paid in the year, and it was paid for one year... When the people from the Ministry of Personnel saw that Yancheng's taxes were completed over the years, only 50% or 60% were completed. You paid them all, what does that mean?
Of course, it is to exploit excessively and plunder the people.
Therefore, there is a big "cool" added to Zhang Yue's evaluation. This is not to praise him, but to say that he is a cruel official and wants to be dismissed!
Zhang Dun was so angry that he said, "Master, do you think this is still reasonable?"
Wang Ning'an was surprised, "I want to see your cousin after hearing what you said!"
