Chapter 437 Big Shots
If it were normal times, the Wang Jushima would have also made a big deal this time. But now even Sima Guang dared not speak out.
Zhao Xu deliberately asked Han Wei about the situation of the case at the court meeting, and then said four words: "I was crazy."
After the dynasty was dispersed, Zhao Xu wrote a special edict, depriving more than 20 suspects, the twenty-two most terrible yamen, was to take down all the officials and ranks of them, and completely become a commoner.
However, Sima Guang still doesn't know that there is still inside story behind it.
It turns out that the quality of armor weapons is still fresh in Zhao Xu. In fact, in history, Wang Rong also proposed to install military weapons surveillance, but the quality of the weapons has not improved after the installation. Of course, Zhao Xu didn't know about this. Therefore, Wang Ju went to the military weapons surveillance and began to reorganize and rectify, and Zhao Xu was also very concerned about it.
After the craftsmen made a big fuss in the Xuande Gate incident, Zhao Xu talked about Wang Ju's reforms in Erying Pavilion.
Lu Huiqing talked about its pros and cons. If it is not done well, it will cause great trouble. But the benefits are also many. If nearly 10,000 people are laid off, and the salary can be saved in just one year. But this is still secondary. After reorganization, personnel will become simple and the books will also become simple. If Wang Ju continues to stay in the Military Arts Supervision Office, the Military Arts Supervision Office will maintain an efficient and honest state, and the cost savings will be unimaginable in this year. Even if Wang Ju leaves, the greed and waste will be much better than before. In the end, the quality of the military arts will increase significantly.
Zhao Xu also attached importance to the first two points, but the last point was the most important.
In fact, Wang Ju's reform was rare in the entire Song Dynasty. If history did not change, only the quality of the Yue family's military weapons could be comparable to that (during the Song Dynasty, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, some models of the Tang Dynasty were adopted. In addition to the grants of the imperial court, Yue Fei also owned the Ezhou wine warehouse, the ministerial warehouse, the reward warehouse, the border warehouse, the Huiyi warehouse and other fourteen warehouses, which were run by the military assistant Li Qi. He could earn more than one million jin a year. This money was mainly used to reward military merits and build weapons and armor, but that's it, Yue Fei also took it.
He paid his own income to supplement the cost of military equipment production. However, Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun were not good, and they were mostly in their own pockets. Of course, the morale and combat effectiveness of the two armies were not very similar. The entire Song Dynasty history was only the Yue Family Army produced its own armor during that period. Even the quality of military equipment production during the time of Song Taizu could only be said to be careless, not as good as the Western Xia and later Jin Kingdoms, or it could only be compared with Tubo. It was not that the money was insufficient, nor that the technology could not keep up. All were lost.
This is just a military weapon supervisor, and there is also. Zheng Baiqu, chaired by Wang Ju, began to get the plan.
As well as the military cut-off reform initiated by Wang Ju, Fangchang River Du, 28-cent system, and the Kapok and Sugar workshop brought by Wang Ju.
Directly and indirectly, Wang Ju's festival and growth will bring more than 20 million yuan in income to the Song Dynasty in a year.
Others include the technology of transferring single-plant nutritional bowls of sorghum and cotton, and the emergence of coulter and iron pole will invisibly increase the amount of grain output for the Song Dynasty in one year.
The development of Guangdong and Guangxi has slack pressure on the densely populated Fujian Road and Jiangnan West Road.
Improvement of simple carbon tempering and water pressure cold flushing and forging.
As well as the improvement of gunpowder formula, not only has more powerful gunpowder weapons appeared, but also have a role in pit mines and road openings. Gunpowder has not made any profit, but its appearance has increased the output of various pit mines and saved the cost of opening mountain roads. It is actually equivalent to increasing national income. This is difficult to count, but it is not a small amount of money in a year.
It was just that Wang Ju avoided the reform, which made Zhao Xu a little unhappy.
Therefore, Zhao Xu supported Wang Ju's approach, and Wang Ju was also an "insider". Only by keeping up with the quality of the armor and improving morale can he realize his dream of becoming a strong country.
Many ministers did not understand that they went back to the unified dynasty of the Central Plains to pay tribute to the foreign barbarians, and even called their nephews to the northern barbarians! This shame made Zhao Xu, who was arrogant and arrogant, unbearable.
Therefore, after delaying for a few days, Han Wei was unreliable, and Zhao Xu asked again. Han Wei even sentenced these dozens of suspicious Yanai.
Under this general trend, Wang Ju finally successfully carried out the last step of reform of the military equipment supervision, and went to various hospitals in person to formulate a rough assembly line production model.
Moreover, after the large-scale layoffs, Wang Ju proposed to slightly increase the salary of officials and craftsmen. In fact, the salary of officials in the Song Dynasty was also quite high. In the past, the officials above were corrupt. Now, under Wang Ju's management, everyone is relatively honest, which is equivalent to increasing their income.
With the correct production model and income, the production of the entire military weapon immediately became efficient. In fact, the Song Dynasty did not give many tasks to official craftsmen, but the income was low and there were many idle people, so they did not work even with others.
It's getting colder.
Wang Anshi began the farmland water conservancy law, and asked Yang Ji and Hou Shuxian to mainly silt fields, and Liu Yi and Cheng Fang once again managed the Yellow River.
In addition, Zeng Bu also began to take office.
The Zu Wuze case began.
On the eighth day of the leap winter month, the censor Wang Zishao revealed that the founding of Miao Zhen in the state and the governor of Xiuzhou Zu Wuze had committed illegal acts when he was governing Hangzhou.
Forget it, Miao Zhen, the main thing is Zu Wuze.
It is said that when Zu Wuze and Wang Anshi were both the emperor of the imperial edict, according to the previous practice, any prince, princess, concubines, and military governors were given the title. The Hanlin Bachelor's College of the School of Science and Technology was made by the civil servants, and military officers were rampant. Deputy envoys of the various departments and officials above the governor were given the title and changed their positions. The Central Secretariat was drafted by the officials, and officials were allowed to return money and goods to the ministers who were drafted by the ministers, which was called Runbi. Someone gave Wang Anshi, and Wang Anshi hung him on the beam. Wang Anshi returned home after Dingyou, but Wang Anshi pretended to be noble and seek fame, so he took it down and used it as public expense. Wang Anshi hated him when he heard about it, and when he got the government, he implicitly ridiculed the fact that the officials were asking for trouble for Zu Wuze. Just as Miao Zhen in Mingzhou was greedy and dirty, Wang Zishao reviewed the case, catered to Wang Anshi, and exposed Zu Wuze's incident in Hangzhou.
There is another saying that after Wang Anshi took office, he was also looking for friends. Because Zu Wuze was famous, Wang Anshi deliberately wrote two letters to Zu Wuze and put down his body to show his goodwill. However, Zu Wuze did not give Wang Anshi face. On the contrary, he had close contacts with the main ministers of the opposition, Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, Chen Xiang, Zheng Zu, and Qian Gongfu, and often had letter interactions. Sima Guang secretly instigated people to mess with Lu Huiqing, so Wang Anshi started the attack with Zu Wuze.
There is another saying. When Wang Zishao's father-in-law Shen Fu lived in Hangzhou, he borrowed private troops from Zu Wuze to build a house. Zu Wuze refused, which made Wang Zishao hold a grudge. He happened to go down to investigate Miao Zhen's corruption case. He also vaguely learned that Wang Anshi was dissatisfied with Zu Wuze, so he cheated Zu Wuze. Because he said it seriously in the memorial, Wang Anshi ordered Shen Heng to write an edict to arrest Zu Wuze from Xiuzhou and arrest him in the capital for Zhang Zai to interrogate. However, Wang Anshi did not originally sarcastically have the intention of cheating Zu Wuze. Instead, he was also cheated by Wang Zishao.
"My teacher, what crime did Zu Wuze commit?" Wang Ju asked Zhang Zai after hearing this.
This is not a matter of forbidden matter, Wang Juneng asked.
Zhang Zai replied: "It is said that Zu Wuze gave the minister's wine to his relatives and friends."
According to regulations, the money and wine in the Song Dynasty's ministerial warehouse were specially used to remove the resigned officials from the entertainment expenses, but they should not be used for private occasions. Later, Zu Wuze also admitted that he used 300 bottles of wine to give it to relatives and friends.
In addition, the passing of the boat exceeded the standard he deserved. He privately embezzled official money and borrowed loans, obeyed the illegal requests of subordinate officials Ren Zao, Wang Jing, Qian Daoyang and Zhang Yingyan.
Zu Wuze later admitted that he was careless and misappropriated official money and borrowed loans. The number was not large, and the illegal request of subordinate officials. But it was not too much, so he agreed.
In addition, it was an affair with the official prostitute Xue Xitao. According to the rules, officials could let the official prostitute sing and dance and drink, but they had to serve the pillows and ate privately. Zu Wuze did not admit this, so he later caught the official prostitute and beat him to death, but Xue Xitao did not admit it. However, Wang Ju suspected that it might be because Xue Xitao had feelings for Zu Wuze and tried his best to protect Zu Wuze's reputation.
In the end, Zu Wuze gave gifts to Zhang Xian, the famous official, and at the same time, he built a large-scale construction of pavilions and towers, but did not pay the materials or wages. Later, he interrogated it, and it was also true, although Zheng Xie said it was just a trivial matter during his rescue, that is, Wang Zishao did not completely capture the situation.
But this incident immediately caused controversy. First, Zhang Zai's younger brother Zhang Jian, Su Song, Chen Xiang, and Zheng Zheng wrote a letter saying that Zu Wuze was a scholar and a minister who was once a close minister around the emperor, and was not the gangsters in the military weapon prison. They were arrested and imprisoned, and they were not the court's intention of raising integrity and being harsh and being harsh, so they should be exempted from prison and questioned on the spot.
Su Zheng also said that Zu Wuze's crimes were unknown, and some were not serious. In the past, many officials had far exceeded Zu Wuze's greed, but they were not arrested and imprisoned for interrogation.
Zheng Xie also said that before Zu Wuze was imprisoned, he stayed in the monk's temple. He was only one servant in charge of the money and silk, so he used his silver spittoo to make money. The people did not dare to pay it, so they had to borrow hundreds of coins from the monk to provide for it day and night. Moreover, Zu Wuze had great achievements in governing Hangzhou. Those who were pitiful had food for him, and those who were imprisoned saw it and cried. After the prisoners were imprisoned, the literati and officials from Hangzhou led the vegetarians and common people to set up a vegetarian to pray for it.
Chen Xiang also said that Hangzhou was a giant mansion and had always been difficult to control. The officials in front and behind often carried out violent commands to the people, but the ancestors had no choice but to govern, and the people were at peace with it.
Wang Ju didn't believe that Wang Ju had never been to Hangzhou once, but the bamboo paper shop was in Hangzhou, which meant that his foundation was in Hangzhou. Therefore, when it comes to many news about Hangzhou, there was one person before Zu Wuze, that is Sun Mian recommended by Ouyang Xiu. After Sun Mian, He Zhongli, Mei Zhi, Tang Xun, Shi Changyan, Shen Go, Wang Qi, Cai Xiang, Hu Su. Only then did Zu Wuze come to him, and then Zheng Xie.
Among them, Shi Changyan's reputation is slightly worse, but his governance in Hangzhou is not too bad, including Zheng Xie's own political achievements in Hangzhou.
Let’s talk about salary, Zu Wuzhe went on with a large number of real officials. One earned at least 1,000 yuan. He said that he was honest. I believe Zu Wuzhe was not as good as Fan Zhongyan. But after supporting a large number of people, Fan Zhongyan also helped many people and spent money to buy a large area of fertile land for his tribe members. Why can’t he even afford to raise three people? So where did Zu Wuzhe’s salary go? Did he travel to Macau and spend it in the casino?
Therefore, Wang Ju wrote a letter and asked his brother-in-law Li Zhen to inquire. Li Zhen quickly replied, saying that Zu Wuze had not been in Hangzhou for a long time, and he was not deeply impressed. As for what he loved the people, Li Zhen did not feel that maybe Zu Wuze loved the people, but there were two. The first one was that Zu Wuze had lived in a monk's temple for a while, but soon he built a relatively luxurious house. Secondly, ordinary people may not know the inside story. However, Li Zhen stayed in Hangzhou for so long and found out the truth. Praying for blessings is indeed the case, but Zheng Xie, the current prefect of Hangzhou, initiated it.
This is a story later.
Now Wang Ju didn't know. After hearing Zhang Zai say it, he slowly said: "Mr., you fell into the pit."
"Why?" Guo asked.
"Maybe Zu Wuze did not do a good job in some aspects, but is it important? If the teacher decides that the case is too serious, Duke Jiefu will definitely be happy, but there should not be too many people who hate the teacher. If the teacher tells that the case is too mild, then there will be many people who like the teacher, but Duke Jiefu will definitely hate the teacher."
"I'll report to the public to decide the case."
"Mr., I don't know the truth about this case, but I believe that choosing an official with Zu Wuze as the standard is a high standard. If you can't bear it, what is the national system? If you ask for shelter, everyone will hate it. In fact, this case is not in the case itself, but outside the case. Let me give you another metaphor. Although the teacher has made great achievements in Confucianism, in the officialdom, the teacher can match Zu Wuze."
Zhang Zai shook his head. He was a two-system official. He was a real close minister around the emperor. What is Zhang Zai's small official? He is not as good as Wang Ju.
"Are you able to reach Su Shi in terms of articles? Abuse of strange ideas and tricks, gaining the trust of the emperor, and reaching disciples. However, the three of us were almost on the running line together. Su Shi may be worse than his disciples, but Zu Wuze was better than his disciples. Even so, Zu Wuze became a victim, let alone his mentor."
"It's really not possible, someone resigned and returned home."
Wang Ju was speechless. I stopped being an official, so what else would I say?
Zu Wuze can also be regarded as Wang Anshi's counterattack, otherwise he would never be beaten passively, which means that the cruel political struggle has finally begun.
After the snow broke out, Wang Ju picked up Fei'er from Songshan.
The concubine had just returned home in front, and a woman came from behind, who was Ye Mo's wife. Wang Ju felt guilty towards Ye Mo. After hearing the doorman's report, he immediately greeted the door himself, took Ye's wife to the house, and asked the servants to make tea.
"My Duke Ming, you're so polite." Ye's wife said. This woman is in her early thirties and looks quite pretty, but she still has endless sadness in her eyes when she speaks.
She said again: "Before the official left, he probably knew something might happen, so he left a letter to the private woman and repeatedly told the private woman not to let anyone see this letter, but before the New Year, let the private woman give it to Ming Gong."
Wang Ju immediately took the letter and took it apart and watched it. It has been almost two months since Han Wei has not yet found out the truth of the case. Perhaps this letter is an important clue to the case.
However, after reading the letter, he looked full of regret and heartbroken... (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
