Chapter 192
The secret war in Huazhou is in full swing, but the face has not yet been torn apart. Everyone should drink wine and drink it, and how to act the drama.?????? w?w �
?b?i?q?u Some people think they are still the protagonist and the entire stage is his, but they don’t know that the script has been changed by the supporting role and set up a major reversal. But this is also good, everyone is happy to play, so they won’t be able to fight each other.
"Your Highness, the thing has arrived!"
"Okay, let's put it here, go down!" Zhao Bing, who had just reviewed several official documents and was about to drink tea, saw that he was a clerk of the Affairs Bureau. He knew that the latest information had been sent, so he nodded and said.
"Hmph, go and be your dream of spring and autumn!" Zhao Bing took out the report on Huazhou, and after reading it, he stretched and smiled. Everything in Huazhou was carried out according to the plan. If there was no major change, the dust would be settled after the imperial envoy sent by the court arrived, and he would no longer need to worry about it.
Putting the report of the Bureau of Affairs aside, Zhao Bing looked at the case that there were still many unreviewed documents on the case and could only resist the urge to burn them and buried them again. However, these documents seemed much easier than before. Of course, this was not because he was much more knowledgeable, but because most of these documents were from the new recruitment clerks. There were fewer the awkward words in the past and no useless and empty nonsense. The writing was also clear and refined, which made people see the things stated at a glance, which made Zhao Bing, who had always failed the ancient texts, and he no longer had to read and guess.
While relieved, Zhao Bing also had some insights. From now on, when selecting officials, he must not give officials the titles of those juren who come to the position of Jinshi and Juren, and they must be given basic training for a few years before talking about them. Of course, he did not have any objections to the scholars, but in fact, these nerds who read the Four Books and Five Classics were not diligent, and the world was not divided. The world was all blank. Therefore, even if these people were appointed as officials, it would be difficult for them to be qualified for the positions they arranged in a short time. But what Zhao Bing now needs is a skilled player who can get into the role as soon as possible and has no time to train interns.
Those clerks who were promoted differently were different. They all chose to be talented and useful. They all started from the grassroots level, worked hard at the bottom for many years, were familiar with their duties, distinguished from the right to the right, and had outstanding political abilities, and were able to get familiar with their positions and work immediately. They were far from comparable to white-faced scholars educated by Confucian classics. Now that these people have joined, they have shown their advantages. The recruitment work that was difficult to promote in the past has been successfully launched, and their views on the General's Mansion have also changed greatly. At least they no longer adopt a hostile attitude.
Of course, Zhao Bing didn't believe that the General Mansion made these people awaken in just over ten days, turning them into loyal and patriotic righteous men, and turning them to loyalty to him. In fact, he believed in one sentence more - dignity and hunger cannot be friendly with each other, and dominating a person's salary, can dominate his will. This is also the law of survival and the iron rule of society.
A person does not have independent economic rights, let alone independent political rights, and even if he is not in front of his wife, he can't raise his head and be laughed at as a frugal person. Therefore, only with a stable economic income can he have an independent personality and a complete will. If he is not independent in economic terms and rely on flattery to make a living, it will be difficult to keep his moral integrity first. Once an individual loses his independent personality, his thoughts will obey their core figures and do things that do not care about right and wrong, and the party will fight against the common people, and he will not be loyal and righteous at all.
Now Zhao Bing gives them the need to live a decent life, so that they no longer have to rely on extortion of the people and deceive Shangguan to cheat some money to get food and clothing. Then the moral standards will also rise, and no one will do things that harm the heavens and reason. After all, is human nature good? This is exactly what Guan Zhong said: If the granary is full, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace...
When Zhao Bing thought of money, he was worried. At least half of the official documents in front of him were for money, and he had been rushing for money since he came to this era. In theory, he has a little savings now, but he never felt that the money was his own. He always went in and out with his left hand and his right hand. He was a passing God of Wealth. In the past, Zhao Bing thought that as long as he had territory, he could collect taxes and use fixed income to support his soldiers. With troops, he could conquer more territory, obtain more income, and raise more soldiers, thus achieving a virtuous cycle and gradually grow like a snowball.
However, when Zhao Bing finally obtained a piece of land, he found that the income of Qiongzhou not only could not afford to support himself, but also had to fill in the holes in it. He didn't know how long it would take to fill the black hole that attracted money. He was also responsible for such disastrous consequences, mainly because when he chose Qiongzhou, he mainly had military considerations, and had not had a deep understanding of the economic situation and insufficient difficulties. But he felt that this could not be entirely up to him.
Qiongzhou was poor, and Zhao Bing had already thought that this was the risk of raising funds in Guangzhou, and he also raised enough for the general's army to maintain it for two years, but the actual situation was much worse. First, the infrastructure here was not enough to bear nearly 100,000 of the general's army, and the coastal defense project was almost zero, so everything had to start from scratch. Secondly, Qiongzhou not only could not be self-sufficient in grain production, but also the tax revenue was difficult to cope with financial expenses, let alone asking them for money, so everything depends on the general's office itself. Furthermore, Qiongzhou has become corrupt to an uncontrollable level, and the general's office needs to carry out work, and stabilize the rear, and the cooperation of local officials is inseparable from the cooperation of local officials. This requires rebuilding the bureaucratic system and building the post road, but this also requires financial support.
Now that the General’s Mansion has arrived in Qiongzhou, it is equivalent to getting a piece of white land. Everything needs to be reorganized and rebuilt. After spending this money, it will be spent, and at least it can see something real. Some unforeseen expenses are still quite large. For example, Jiang Yu’s troubles are not mentioned in this battle, not to mention military expenditures and casualties, he occupied these three states and was too poor to lose money. It is probably a deal that is too expensive to pay. No matter how complicated ethnic relations are, in the face of this great enemy, he also needs to pay for comfort to stabilize the rear.
After all the expenses, Zhao Bing felt that the plan to build granaries could be cut off. This kind of food that only goes out but doesn’t go in. If you eat food in the Yin Dynasty, you will be consumed without waiting for the new warehouse to be built. At that time, there will be no rats. But now the entire Qiongzhou is looking at the Marshal’s Mansion. If there is no money one day, Zhao Bing dares not imagine what kind of scene it will be. However, to completely solve the current difficulties, long-term planning is required. It cannot be done overnight, and it is not easy to get rich by grabbing. After all, there are not many places as rich as Guangzhou... (To be continued.)
