On the same day, the official letter from Daosi Yamen was sent to Zhengzhou, but it was not directly delivered to the hands of Zhizhou Li Hang. Li Zhizhou was not in charge of the city, but went to Yuanwu County in the northeast of Zhengzhou to inspect the autumn harvest work. Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival,
He didn't even take a break and just threw himself into business.
At this juncture, Li Hang's behavior of being "not in his duties" can easily lead to misunderstandings. The messenger who delivered the official letter was naturally unwilling to give up when he could not see Li Hang, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to Pan You when he returned, so he rushed non-stop and rushed
Go to Yuanwu.
Of course, Li Hang was not in Yuanwu just to avoid Si Ya's troubles, but to inspect the autumn harvest, which was indeed his business. At the same time, during the river flood this year, it was more dangerous to pass the Yuanwu dyke, which almost caused a catastrophe. For the repair of the dyke
You also need to check it yourself.
On the other hand, Yuanwu County was also a key area used by Li Hang to implement the new tax system. The land clearing work in Zhengzhou also started in this county. As a political star favored by both the emperor and the prince, Li Hang had a bright future, and it was natural that Li Hang could not violate it.
Shang Yi, in line with the government's policies, was very attentive to the implementation of the new tax system, but the methods of implementing policies were different.
Pan You's nature is like a blazing fire, and his actions are like the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, which makes people feel like the cold season. In contrast, Li Hang's political style is a completely different style, with a generous temperament and steady handling, which often gives people a feeling of spring breeze.
The feeling was greatly praised and recognized.
Li Hang had a very high start. When he was dissatisfied with his tenure in the court, he was sent to the outside world as the chief official of a state, or a large state like Zhengzhou. However, in the few months after taking office, he did not feel any discomfort at all. This seemed to be
Li Han was a natural-born bureaucrat, and he basically achieved the atmosphere of "government management and people's harmony" recorded in the books two months after he took office.
In terms of background, Li Hang was the number one scholar in one subject, and in terms of backing, he was the most reliable emperor and prince in the world. The most important thing is that he was not just an embroidered pillow, but had his own way of dealing with people.
He is also forming his own political philosophy.
It can be said that based on Li Hang's previous performance, he is almost a perfect bureaucratic image in the current mainstream value perception. He is well-informed and courteous, knowledgeable, lenient towards others, strict with himself, and at the same time has no lack of ability to manage affairs.
Follow orders meticulously, and at the bottom, personally observe things and observe the people's sentiments.
Therefore, although he took office in Zhengzhou not long ago, Li Hang felt at home like a fish in water and was highly supported by his subordinates. Although this support was somewhat sincere, at least the bureaucrats in Zhengzhou were willing to accept his leadership, and his official reputation among the people
It also spread quickly.
Take the Daosi land inventory decree as an example. While promoting the matter, Li Hang also withstood the pressure from above for his subordinates. Instead of just forcing each other with big orders, he was willing to listen to the voices below and help them solve their difficulties.
Even if many people are not happy with such a style of work, at least they must comply with it on the surface. Zhizhou has been so understanding and considerate, so what else can they do if they have reached this point.
Li Hang thought of playing it safe, starting from the land in Yuanwu County, and mobilized a large number of manpower from the state to invest in it. Although it could not meet the Taosi's previous task of completing the land clearing in the entire state before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yuanwu County did it.
of.
Of course, even if the government is lenient, everything cannot go smoothly. In the process of clearing the land, concealment, concealment, prevarication, and resistance often occur.
And every time like this, Li Hang would carefully understand the situation. After investigating clearly, he began to reason. Not everyone can explain the truth, especially when it involves vital interests.
When the truth was different, Li Hang had to take up the two weapons of power and law. Therefore, at least during the land clearing process in Yuanwu County, he still had to deal with and punish many people.
It's just that at this time, it's hard for others to accuse Li Han. After all, they are justified and have given enough face and time. However, some people are ignorant of current affairs and deserve the punishment they receive.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the decree issued by the Taoist priests could not be completed. On the contrary, due to the busy farming season during the autumn harvest, the collection of old taxes could not be neglected. Li Hang also deliberately slowed down the preparations for land surveying in other states and counties.
Work.
However, Li Hang's "acting on his own" in Zhengzhou naturally ran counter to the will of the Gyeonggi Province Secretary. Even if Li Hang had a strong background, it was impossible for him to be free from pressure at all. Especially when the dispute between the two envoys in the lobby of the Secretary's Office spread the previous day.
Afterwards, Zhengzhou will inevitably be unaffected.
The first level of official rank is overwhelming, not to mention the difference between the two. Li Hang cannot completely ignore the authority of the Taoist priest. On the other hand, although Li Hang has his own style of doing things and reform ideas, this kind of
The suspicion of contradicting the superior's government orders is still taboo and should be avoided as much as possible. After all, Li Hang set a precedent by doing the first grade in junior high school, and others can do the fifteenth grade.
When Si Yamen's envoys arrived at Yuanwu County, they still didn't see Li Hang. According to the county officials who stayed behind, all officials from the prefecture and county government officials had gone to the countryside to inspect the taxation situation this autumn.
So, after some troubles, the officer who delivered the letter finally found Li Hang in a village under the Liuhe Embankment in Yuanwu County, who was calculating and comparing the amount of money and taxes.
"Zhizhou makes it easy to find subordinates!" After being tormented like this, even if he knew that Li Hang had a great background, the envoy could not calm down, and there was inevitably some emotion in his words.
Li Hang was dressed at this time, very much like a cashier. He was inspecting the autumn grain, and his body even exuded a fragrance of grain. After hearing his words and observing his color, Li Hang's face was like a spring breeze. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir."
, please also go to the village to take a rest and drink some water."
Seeing that Li Hang's attitude was so gentle, his resentment dissipated a little. He returned the courtesy and handed over the official letter: "I have been ordered by the envoy to pass a letter to the state. Please read it!"
Li Hang took it smoothly, opened the package and read it, his expression gradually became more serious, sighing in his heart, it is inevitable to avoid it. In fact, the conflict in the lobby of the government office the day before yesterday reached Li Hang's ears the next day
In the book, Li Hang also analyzed this, and the results are hard to be optimistic about.
Li Hang suddenly realized that his approach was still inappropriate. Although he disagreed with Pan You's political style, he worked for the court, and Pan You was the chief official arranged by the court to preside over the overall situation in Gyeonggi Province. No matter what
They are too worried to confront directly.
An explanation in an official document is obviously not persuasive enough. As for the situation of the conflict between the government and the government, the disputes and conflicts at the Taoist level have become superficial. At this time, my behavior is likely to be involved.
, and may be used as a pawn by those conservatives to deal with Pan You. But the key point is that he, Li Han, is also a reformist. Even if there is a contradiction, it is an internal problem...
While reflecting, Li Hang also considered how to deal with the aftermath of this matter. No matter what, he should at least not conflict with Pan You and ease the relationship. However, this is not wishful thinking and depends on Pan You's attitude. Before that,
He needs to actually do a good job in reform and achieve results.
However, after reading Pan You's letter, Li Hang felt relieved. At least judging from the meaning expressed in the official letter, Pan You wanted an explanation first, rather than a direct blow. It seemed that it was not impossible to communicate. Perhaps Pan Youjun
I don't want to be as headstrong, arrogant and rough as the rumors say.
"There are still some finishing touches to the autumn tax accounts of this village. After the preparations are completed in Benzhou, I will go to Yingchang with my boss!" Li Hang said.
The envoy looked at Li Hang with some surprise. The envoy couldn't help but said: "As the chief official of a state, Zhizhou is busy with official affairs. No matter how important tax matters are, the taxes of one county and one village are not the same."
As for letting Zhizhou come and check it out in person!"
"I don't know what the difference is!" Li Hang smiled and said: "This year's autumn tax in Yuanwu County is different from previous years. It is collected according to the new system of the imperial court. The implementation of the new system involves changes in all aspects of the government and the private sector, and problems may arise at any time.
If Honshu doesn’t keep an eye on it personally, he won’t feel at ease!”
Li Hang said Yun Danfengfeng lightly, but when he heard what he revealed, the envoy couldn't help but be shocked and said: "What do you mean by Zhizhou, the new tax system has been officially implemented in Zhengzhou?"
"It's not Zhengzhou!" Li Hang shook his head and corrected: "It's just Yuanwu!"
As Pan You's envoy, he was naturally a confidant. When he heard Li Hang's affirmative reply, he was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Even if only Wu County is restored, it will not be easy! It seems that Si Ya has great respect for Zhizhou.
, there is a misunderstanding! Such an action can be regarded as a model for tax reform in Gyeonggi Province, how can it delay the delay? "
"Zhizhou is acting vigorously and resolutely, I admire you!"
Seeing this, Li Hang smiled faintly, pointed to a book on the table beside him and said: "This book is the explanation from this state to Ambassador Pan!"
