Four hundred and seventieth chapters New Deal
Not only Fan Zhongyan, but also Zhao Zhen, were wrong, and they were forced too quickly.
Wang Anshi's reforms learned from the experience of the Qingli New Policy and had been brewing for decades, and countless major mistakes were made. However, Fan Zhongyan had only been in the Secretariat for a few months, so how could he come up with any tricks to make the country immediately turn danger into safety? Zheng Lang had the experience of the Song Dynasty and the experience of the Ming and Qing Dynasties to learn from, but what was the situation during the implementation?
Too urgent!
Strangely, the victim Fan Zhongyan himself didn't know that he thought that God would give a great responsibility to this man, and then he swallowed it up with a whale that seemed to exist but actually did not.
On the third day of the September 19th, Zhao Zhen called the ministers of the two prefectures and important ministers such as the Censor of Zhizai to Tianzhang Pavilion.
Tianzhang Pavilion was built in the later years of Emperor Zhenzong. Since Zhao Zhen, this pavilion has been dedicated to portraits of emperors of all dynasties in the Song Dynasty. It has been treasured here before the throne, as well as collection of pictures, Fu Rui, Baowan, and royal family famous books. Since then, it has become famous and of great significance in history.
Zheng Lang has done so many things for the country and has also been given the title of the Tianzhang Pavilion Assistant, but has not entered this Pavilion to report.
It is conceivable that dozens of ministers who came in looked at the portraits of several former emperors, their faces were heavy, and they understood Zhao Zhen's heart.
But there were two missing, one of Han Qi, who should have appeared, went to Shaanxi, and the other Zheng Lang, who seemed to be more qualified to come in, was climbing on Mount Wu, climbing enthusiastically.
Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhu Dong, and at least his age made him feel very ideal. Zhang Dexiang and two old ministers in his sixties were in the helm, as well as Yan Shu, Fan Zhongyan, and Wang Yiyong, three half-aged ministers in his early fifties, and others, Jia Changchao forty-six, Wang Yaochen forty-six, Fu Bi forty-nine, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Su forty-six, Wang Gongchen and Cai Xiang forty-one, if Han Qi at thirty-five and younger Zheng Lang, the whole court was full of vitality and vitality.
As for talent learning, it seems that none of these people have poor talent learning. They all have the ability to remember everything they have, and most of them are masters in the literary world.
In terms of political achievements, most people have good achievements, and they have both border achievements and government achievements.
"Maybe, maybe..." Zhao Zhen murmured.
He took the ministers to see the remains of Taizu Taizong, then asked the ministers to sit down, and ordered the eunuchs to bring paper and pen, saying nine words: "Revitalize the country and bring peace to the prosperous era!"
Didn’t you usually say that I did nothing? Today, let you write, and write down your thoughts in front of your ancestors to revitalize the Song Dynasty. As long as you speak with reason, I will implement it.
Zhao Zhen really made the situation anxious, otherwise with his steady attitude, he would never have done this.
In fact, this is a fire pit, but Fan Zhongyan didn't know. Looking at the portraits of several late emperors and being in such a grand occasion, he was excited and filled with Fu Bi and others. Fan Naoyan said: "The emperor can use the words of his ministers to make things happen in a row, and the ills will be eliminated for a long time, and it will not be solved day and night."
The fact that the idea is still very clear is true. Fan Zhongyan also deliberately tried to avoid some troubles during this reform, so some of the written notes were vague. But the result was that the mistake was added to the wrong ones.
Zhao Zhen said: "Today, as Chinese and foreigners hope, all ministers are not as good as yours. Han Qi temporarily goes to Shaanxi, Zheng Lang is in Shaanxi, Zhong Yan and Bi Yi and the prime minister Zhang Dexiang are in full swing with the state affairs, and they are not allowed to take care of them. If there is any urgent task in the world, I will discuss it for me."
Today I will let go of my courage to write, let you say, let you preach.
The hand is about the ten things Fan Zhongyan wrote to him.
Ming Xiazhi, in the Song Dynasty, civil servants were in three years and military officers once every five years. They did not ask whether the virtuous or stupid, or whether they were working or rest. As long as they did not make mistakes, they could hand over their political achievements to the Beijing Examination Institute for review and promoted the official level. But there were right and wrong things when doing things. If you want not to make mistakes, you would not do things. So, the officialdom in the Song Dynasty was mostly so cautious in the Song Dynasty, Cui Xian’s father Cui Youjie, who would rather not do things than make mistakes. But officials did not do things, this country...
Therefore, Fan Zhongyan listed it as the first disadvantage. According to the sponsorship system of Taizu and Taizong and the surveying system of Zhenzong, the selection and grinding system of the official promotion standard is based on the standard of performance. He must be appointed for three years and five honest officials can be protected by the position of five honest officials. Those who are good at governance and have different achievements can be promoted in an extraordinary way.
It seems that this should be.
Everyone is inaction. This is not the Huang-Lao Wuwei in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. It is the real Wuwei, inaction! How can the country not be corrupt?
The key is who this honest official is? You and I will recommend each other, and the snowball will grow bigger and bigger. What will you think as a lord?
But Zhao Zhen actually agreed and began to implement it partially soon. As for the effect...look back.
It is also right to put it in the second article. Since Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, the Nanjiao Grand Ceremony or the emperor's birthday, the ministers of the two governments can appeal to the court to various officials who are above the prison officials. Enyin's sons and nephews are formal state officials. Zheng Lang has also used this system to assign some disciples to be bureaucrats. The only difference is that Zheng Lang asked them to do things first and make contributions to the official position. It is also stipulated that officials of Hanlin Bachelor's degree or above can be one person a year. If a person with a talented and intelligent person who is in his twenties and is still lucky, he will be able to serve as a court official for forty years, then forty people can enter the court to serve as official state officials! This is like...
this……
It will not be possible to change, so it must be changed. In the future, the transfer envoy and the border civil servant must serve for two years before they can only give in. Two governments and two high-ranking officials are allowed to apply for one person's kindness at each gift. They must be their own sons, and their nephews and guests are excluded. They must have important positions in the palace and the children of high-ranking officials are not allowed to enter easily. If you want to enter, you must not only take the exam, but also go through the Baotei.
As for how many people have been cut off, Fan Zhongyan doesn't ask.
It is also accurate. The first item will be implemented in less than a month, and the second item will be implemented in two months.
The imperial examination is the main source of selection for the country, but in addition to memorizing the meaning of the scriptures and studying poetry and songs, students do not understand how the country is rich, and how the people live and work in peace. Or they say that they are empty talk such as benevolence as the basis, diligent and loving the people.
There are major problems with the entire country's education.
But how to do it, Fan Zhongyan himself was confused, so he preached the way of economy and the talent of economy... He first took the policy and then took the poetry and essays, and there were fewer ministers who pretended to be false and exaggerated. Who could understand this? But one thing was clearly stated, the name system of name was abolished and the real name system in the early Tang Dynasty was changed. The reason why the candidates could not see the names of the candidates, and the original intention of recommending talents in the village was lost. Who would recommend talents to the court in the future? As for cheating, as long as you investigate and deal with it carefully, the cheap can stop the unhealthy trend.
Is this really the case? Back!
Choose a superior.
All public land is the land of office. In order to make officials honest, considering factors such as rising prices, the state allocated a batch of public land and was appointed as an official. Zheng Lang was also serious and had to make an official position. Zheng Lang had 2,400 mu of land, and actually 1,500 mu of land. However, the Zheng family did not take it seriously, and only asked the tenant farmers to pay a little rent. However, some officials could obtain a large amount of wealth from this land. There was no need to pay national taxes, and the people paid half a stone or a stone of tax for one acre of land. For example, the Zheng family could obtain 800 to 1,500 s of rent. Moreover, there were mulberry and hemp and other side businesses, and the income from the farmhouse's industries was also a considerable amount.
Moreover, Zheng Lang's field area is very small, and some people have a job land of two or three thousand, three or four thousand acres. It is precisely because of the old number, which is three times more than these officials. Corrupt officials follow the situation and the harm is very great, leading the national annexation. Therefore, it is clearly stipulated that the official job land ranges from twenty hectares to two hectares.
However, a new problem comes. Who are the good and bad fields? Who are the bad ones? Zhitian is close to Mintian, and it is a little bit encroached on. If it is divided equally, what will it happen? Officials sued officials and the people sued officials. In fact, Liu E rectified it for a while, and finally made a fuss. Liu E's approach was more decisive than Fan Zhongyan, so she simply abolished the field. Don't fight, there is nothing!
A piece of the matter will lead to chaos, so why do Fan Zhongyan still have to do it? There are a few things on it. The officialdom must be rectified, and the real-name imperial examination system will not be favoritism and fraud, let alone a little bit of Xiaotian?
Unfortunately, he did not travel through time. Otherwise, when he saw how Zhang rectified corrupt officials and embezzled a little money, he was skinned and placed in the county government office, killing tens of thousands of corrupt officials, embezzled and accepted bribes, and had the corruption and fraud be rectified?
We should strengthen agriculture and sericulture, promote water conservancy, plant mulberry, dates and cotton, recruit fugitives, reclaim wasteland, increase household registration, and use this as a political achievement for local officials to take exams. This is a cliché, but it is this cliché and it is also the most successful in the Qingli reform. But the scale is far less than that of the Xining reform.
Fan Zhongyan had the most say in the cultivation of military preparations, and Zheng Lang was disarmament, but Fan Zhongyan believed that Zheng Lang had not done anything clean because two disadvantages were not solved. One is that the national imperial guards were kept in the capital, and there were not so many imperial guards in the capital. Now the Song Dynasty has more than 200,000 in Shaanxi, more than 200,000 in Hedong and Hebei, about 300,000 in the capital, and more than 100,000 in other places. But most of them are actually imperial guards in the capital. The border guards have imperial guards, and the capital was sent to the capital for rotation. If there is something wrong with the frontier, the country has sent troops from the capital to the frontier, and the precious time has been lost. The capital raises troops and sends troops, and the focus of the food is in the capital, so the food on the frontier has never been able to keep up. If you want to kill or defend the enemy, you must transport grain for thousands of miles, and the freight will be extremely huge. After several years of battle in the northwest, more than 100 million guan was spent, of which tens of millions of guan were wasted.
So how to do it? Recruiting 50,000 military and civilians in the capital, going to the frontier to farm, farming three seasons a year, and training troops in one quarter, the border food can be self-sufficient and the court does not have to bear the extra expenses. The Tang Dynasty used this method to defeat the Tubo people in Qinghai during the Kaixuan period.
Yes, this is how Zonglongi did it, but in the end, something serious was created, the Anshi Rebellion!
In fact, Zheng Lang is also doing it, including Sanbaiqu and military farming. All of this is handed over to the people, so that the food is in the hands of the local people. If the country needs food, it will buy it from the people and hide it from the people. The army does not control the food, so no one opposes the monarch and ministers. They can use money, but buying only food is not expensive, and the freight is expensive. There is no way, there will be no trains and cars in this era, and the freight is always high.
But Fan Zhongyan made the army have troops, wealth and food... This, this...
The reduction of service is not large because of the implementation of the more advanced exemption law. The main reason is that Zheng Lang dared not touch the border areas and poor prefectures and counties, and he could not implement the exemption law wherever he was executed. Once the implementation is implemented, it will lead to a big mess, but the problem is still there. Therefore, these prefectures and counties were merged, including the senior household chiefs, and gradually reduced the local service to reduce the burden that the people should be poor.
Bi Enxin, the imperial court once every three years in the southern suburbs. What is this? It is to win the hearts of the people. Not only will it give soldiers money, but when the ceremony is in the suburbs, local officials must carry out lenient taxes, reduce labor service, save care for orphans and poverty, and revitalize stagnant things, and benefit the people. However, the emperor has issued an edict, but the officials below do not implement it, and they often owe the people the debts they owe to the people. It is impossible to repay them together. Before Tianxi, the court had all the debts that the court had to repay, and the court had to repay them all, and the debts that the court had to be lenient. At the time of Dahao, the court's court's kindness and trust in local officials must be implemented by the people.
When orders are heavy, the court will change every day, and they will be upset and have no faith. Therefore, you must be cautious when formulating and issuing edicts, so that orders must be implemented. Violators will be punished.
Except for the imperial court that did not agree to the military preparations, the court did not agree to the implementation of these ten items. Zhao Zhen of the imperial examination was very clear and did not agree to Fan Zhongyan's real-name system, but listed policy theory as a priority for poetry and essays.
Putting aside the right or wrong methods used, most of them were indeed disadvantages of the Song Dynasty. But Fan Zhongyan didn't know whether it was intentional negligence or real negligence, but he didn't say a major issue...
As soon as the new policy came out, Ouyang Xiu once again fell down Lu, afraid that Lu Yijian would have ulterior motives and would have to trample Lu Yijian on the ghost...
ps: The original text of Fan Zhongyan’s new policy is recorded in the works, and it is a bit long. If you like it, you can go and take a look.
