Chapter 88
Taking the child away, Gan Ziyi walked into Zeng Guofan's study and picked up a book on the pine wood treasure grid. It turned out to be a very remote "Dragon Kan Hand Mirror". This book was written by a monk named Xingjun in the Liao and Jin dynasties. It specifically recorded the writing styles of many radicals, similarities and similarities in ancient and modern times, and he had read it.
That was when I was still studying in the study room, I heard Du Shoutian and Zhuo Bingtian talk about it. He was a little interested and asked someone to look at it. The words recorded in it were all very rare words, many of which are never used now. A very simple example. The word "得" in Xunmi has several very strange ways to describe it in the book. In addition to orthodox, there are many ways to match the word "得" below and the word "得" above. Whether written on the left or right, it can be considered as a correct explanation.
I remember that I felt very disappointed at that time: He asked himself that it was not the kind of material that could be used to "seek ancient meanings with ancient pronunciations and become the authority of contemporary philology". This book was just about to read and let go. I didn't expect that I could actually see it at Zeng Guofan's house? "Did you read this book?"
"Yes! Let me tell you the emperor. In the 28th year of Daoguang, I was sent to Jiangxi to preside over the provincial examination. I am afraid that among the students, there are people like Wang Yinzhi, Gong Ding'an, who is the main examiner. If I cannot understand the argumentative text, I will ridicule the little thing. If I miss the emperor's choice of materials, I will make a big deal!"
Wang Yinzhi was a famous minister of the Jiadao Dynasty and one of the authoritative philology in the country; as for Gong Ding'an, he was Gong Zizhen, who inherited his family's origins and was also one of the great talents in his writing. "Well, that's right." The emperor put the book back into the grid, glanced at him and saw a white-skinned memorial note in the grid: "To strictly investigate the shortcomings of the Ministry of Revenue, use the Jingmen Hall to pray for the saints and learn from the affairs..."
He had never seen this memorial before, so he took it over and showed it in his hand and looked it through: "My minister was given the title of "Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Every time he thought about it, he felt grateful to the heart... Since he came to the Ministry of Revenue to observe the matter, he realized that the Ministry of Revenue had many disadvantages and had almost become a source of greed and profitable officials."
The following text records in detail the so-called "disadvantages" recorded in the text. There are three main items. The first item is that the clerks of the Ministry of Revenue "to work with each other to fill in greed, and the methods cannot be described one by one, especially the reimbursement items and engineering opportunities to make profits. Specifically, "the reimbursement matters must be explained first, and after the number of invasions of fish is appropriate, the top and top are united, and the interests are at their disposal are at their disposal, and the person is engaged in it."
In the memorial, Zeng Guofan recorded in detail the example of the use of troops from the three provinces of Hunan, Guangxi and Guizhou, and the clerk of the Ministry of Revenue was divided into stolen goods and fat: "In the past, Zhao Shijie, the governor of the governor of Huguang, was sent to Beijing to discuss with the clerks and other parties to divide the weight. Finally, the collaborative agreement was reached with the clerks of more than 100,000 taels of silver.'
Next is to talk about the opportunity to do something, and there is already a method of greed for me from the discussion. Whenever there is a major project in the capital, the minister must first send an evaluating minister. The minister must bring a escort. After the evaluating, the minister will send a escort. The minister will send a supervisor. The wooden factory will be assigned by the minister. When the price is received, the minister will receive 30% of the supervisor and 10% of the ministers will receive 10% of the ministers. The escorts will receive 10% of the ministers and 10% of the subordinates will receive 10% of the two ministers and 10% of the masters will receive 10% of the masters. In fact, the wooden factory will only be 20% of the masters.'
‘It is also very difficult to collect the money. It is only after more than a year that it will be paid in multiple times. Each time it is collected, each person will divide it according to the results. Whenever the documents arrive at the department, the Ministry of Revenue will say that there is no such thing as the department, and then the Ministry of Revenue will ask for less. It is only because it is not as good as it is, people will be afraid that it has any disadvantages.’
‘The wooden factory has difficulty in getting the money, so the wages are getting higher. For those who get 2.5% of the money, it is only 20% more common jobs.’
The last disadvantage was that he had known for a long time in the section on the silver treasury stealing of silver: "'The Ministry of Revenue is divided into various departments, especially the Kuding one is the top of all soldiers. After three years of replacement, they were Manchus, and occasionally Han people were all named Manchus. When each sect was in the bribes, they would pay six or seven thousand gold for one soldier."
"After the bribery, the Secretary of State is in the lobby and the title will be charged. Every three years, only forty people are selected, that is, the upper Mao, which is the service of the warehouse. The opening period is nine times a month, and there is also an overtime period, which varies from four to four times a month. For each period, the inside and outside of the warehouse, there are seven or eight times a day, and the least to three or four times. Each time the entrainment is fifty taels. If four times are also two hundred taels, the third period of the month is also six hundred taels.'
‘In addition to using the valley road to hide silver, Kuding also has other Dharma-Treasure silver. Every time the warehouse period is clear water and dust, the warehouse soldiers will carry the bottom bucket and use the silver to hide silver. After the hall officials disperse, they will calmly carry the bucket out.’
The emperor had read the memorial, but he didn't know what he liked or disliked, but he just felt that it was extremely boring: I came out all the time, how could I see such a memorial?
***************
He also knew very clearly that the Ministry of Revenue mentioned in Zeng Guofan's memorial was that it was just that the new king had already touched some people. Not to mention anything else, it was just about the reform of the canal transportation. Mu Zhang'a of the Military Affairs Office made a statement in front of himself three times in a row: "The emperor is for enterprising, which is a blessing for my Qing Dynasty. However, the matter of the canal transportation involves hundreds of thousands of canals and family members. Be careful to move slowly."
Of course, this opinion was rejected by the emperor. But not only Mu Zhanga and others went to pay their respects to Concubine Jing routinely every day, this concubine's mother, who would not easily interfere in the government affairs, also said to him in a family tone: "If the emperor has any new policies, we don't need to ask about it in the deep palace, and we dare not ask about it. When we chat together, we also said that the emperor was young and promising, and really wanted to change the bad policies of the dynasty and strive to revitalize the age. There are so many ministers in the court, so naturally it is not our turn to talk too much."
The Emperor Jing's surname was Borjigiet, which is the biological mother of Prince Gong Yi. The emperor's biological mother was Niuhulu. He died in his early years. At that time, when Yi was young, Daoguang handed over the child of the most beloved queen to the Emperor Jing's imperial concubine to the Emperor Jing's imperial concubine. After ascending the throne, he worshipped the palace with the kindness of raising her. He entered the palace to pay tribute every day, morning or evening, and was very respectful to the concubine's mother. He heard what the concubine said, the Emperor nodded with a smile: "My son is talented and has little virtue. After he ascended the throne, he changed his politics of the previous dynasty. He was just looking for a few imperial examinations to remember this time. He deeply thought about it. He thought that there were serious obstacles to the national economy and people's livelihood, and he only made some corrections."
"We must always try our best to maintain the foundation of our ancestors." After all, the concubine and the emperor were separated by a layer. Some things cannot be said like a chess? They are too straightforward, just click on them.
"Yes, my son has recorded it."
Recalling what happened in the previous year, it is no wonder that the emperor frowned when he saw this memorial in Zeng Guofan's mansion. If he made major corrections based on the disadvantages mentioned in the memorial, he was afraid that another political storm would be about to start. At that time, the case of being dismissed may not be the case of buying participants, and there would be as few cases as foreign ministers in the transportation industry!
At this moment, he had to temporarily feel wronged Zeng Guofan for a while. After thinking about it for a while, he put the memorial into his cuffs and ordered: "Set up, I want to go back."
