Chapter 158 The first wave of devaluation (3)
In mid-February, Jia Weixin and his cadres rode a donkey back to Fuyang County. After learning the news, the magistrate Liu Boxiong felt a little surprised. A month ago, Jia Weixin came from Hangzhou and was sent by the official to increase the yield of raw silk. After that, Jia Weixin ran to the countryside and never appeared in the county again. He didn't hear much about this person within a month. When he suddenly heard Jia Weixin back, Liu Boxiong couldn't help but suspect that Jia Weixin had really appeared in this world. He even suspected that Jia Weixin had gone back to Hangzhou in this month.
The cadres who followed Jia Weixin were called by Liu Boxiong, and the magistrate asked about what Jia Weixin had done in the past month.
"Director Jia is just a village. When he arrives at each village, he asks how many mulberry trees there are in the village, whether he has raised silkworms before, and how much income it has in the village. Then tell them about the officials' plans and the benefits of planting mulberry silkworms." The cadres briefly introduced their experience on this trip.
"If you only talk about these things, it will not take a month." Liu Boxiong said unconfidently.
These words made the cadres widen their eyes. He said in a tentative tone: "Minister Liu, even if he travels to two villages a day, he can only travel to sixty villages a month. This time, he would send someone to inform the nearby villages in advance and let everyone gather together to meet and have a meeting. Only then could he barely meet all the village chiefs."
When the cadre reported to the magistrate, Jia Weixin returned to his temporary residence and sorted out the records of the trip.
"Guardian xx, if your village sends cocoons out, how far can you go?"
"Guardian oo, if your village uses more people to pick mulberry and feed silkworms, how many people can it be used?"
"Captain xo, if you ask your village to raise more silkworms, how can you be assured to pay the bill?"
"Ox Village Chief, if it's your village..."
Whenever he went there, Jia Weixin asked many questions when he talked with the local village chief, and several books were recorded in the booklet alone.
After comparing these records one by one on the map, Jia Weixin began to write a report. He followed Zhao Guanjia to do the community gathering work in Lin'an, and finally understood the meaning of the so-called layout.
After two days of planning, Jia Weixin went to meet the magistrate Liu Boxiong. After hearing the suggestions put forward by Jia Weixin, who was a little sluggish, Liu Boxiong was shocked. He asked loudly, "You actually want the official to come to Fuyang County to summon the village chiefs of each village?"
"That's right." Jia Weixin replied.
"How can we call the official family!"
"This has nothing to do with calling the official family, it is because I want the official family to ask for help."
“…No! No! No!”
"If you don't want to, I'll give the official account." Jia Weixin did not give up in the tit-for-tat dispute.
Regarding such an outrageous approach, Liu Boxiong said angrily: "If you submit a letter, don't involve me."
"Okay. I'll submit my own statement." Jia Weixin replied decisively, "But do you want to sign this layout?"
Liu Boxiong looked at the great thing and wanted to push it aside. After thinking for a while, Liu Boxiong took it over. After only a few pages, Jia Weixin lost interest. What he wrote here was about setting up silk reel points, and most of the place names and places Liu Boxiong didn't know. Even if he knew it, he was all in the countryside. This made Liu Boxiong not interested.
"I'll talk about this in a few days." Liu Boxiong gave Jia Weixin an explanation.
"I'll wait for you until tomorrow. If you sign a petition, we will write a memorial together and send it to the officials. If you don't sign a petition, I will hand it over to the officials."
When he heard Jia Weixin's words, Liu Boxiong firmly believed that Jia Weixin still wanted to pull Liu Boxiong into the water. He immediately threw this on the table and replied coldly: "Don't wait until tomorrow. I will tell you now that I will never sign up."
"If you refuse to sign up, I'll send it out now." The department that passed the documents was at the county government office. Jia Weixin immediately invited the person in charge, sorted out his things and handed them over to the person in charge, and asked him to send it out now.
Not long after, Jia Weixin left the county magistrate's ruling. Jia Weixin despised Liu Boxiong's ignorance and incompetence. Jia Weixin was also very happy about Liu Boxiong's ignorance and incompetence. This time he could finally take the credit without sharing it with Liu Boxiong, the idiot. He would use such a righteous and open means.
When his grandfather Jia Sidao was outstanding, Jia Weixin was still young and did not understand the affairs of the officialdom. After his grandfather had done something bad, Jia Weixin knew that the world was in a cold and life was bumpy. He began to understand the cruelty of the officialdom. After a while, the Lin'an General Surrender occurred. At that time, Jia Weixin fled to Fuzhou with his father and defected to the small court of Fuzhou. After that, he started as a cadre and gradually became a director.
When my grandfather came back after years of exile, Jia Weixin communicated with his grandfather many times and understood many things that had once been quite confused by him. Jia Sidao made it clear that all officials were unreliable. If you want to succeed, you must be able to mobilize the grassroots as Zhao Jiaren said.
If Liu Boxiong was willing to sign a petition, he could get a credit effortlessly. Liu Boxiong refused to sign a petition at this time, and many people around him knew very clearly about Liu Boxiong's refusal to sign a petition. If Liu Boxiong had a little at least shame, he probably wouldn't have the attitude to do anything to compete for merit.
Of course, Jia Wei also made some preparations in his confidence. Jia Sidao once said that many officials are shameless. The Zhao Guan family is a well-deserved moral culprit. However, there are too few officials like the Zhao Guan family.
In the eyes of Liu Boxiong, the magistrate of Fuyang County, who seemed to be rebellious, was soon sent to Lin'an. The minister, who was responsible for handling official documents in the Political Affairs Hall, was furious after reading it. However, the Zhao official family had told him that the official documents of these counties must be delivered immediately. The minister came to meet the Zhao official family with the memorial indignantly.
According to the system of the Song Dynasty, the left and right prime ministers were appointed and removed by the officials, and the left and right prime ministers were responsible for handling the affairs of the political affairs hall. The Zhao official family did not appoint the prime minister, which does not mean that the political affairs hall would be dissolved from then on. Theoretically, all the power in the world belongs to the official family, and the power of the political affairs hall also belongs to the Zhao official family, and the system is only handed over to the left and right prime ministers. Since the Zhao official family does not hand over the power in their hands, the Zhao official family, who also serves as the prime minister, will operate the political affairs hall. If the change in Zhao Jiaren's identity is not mentioned, the structure of the court will not change from the previous time when Zhao Jiaren was alone.
After reading the memorial sent by the Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, Zhao Jiaren smiled at the Minister of Angry and said, "This kid still knows how to measure himself. Although he is ambitious, he is carrying out the errand that I personally ordered to promote."
"Officials, I always think that letting him go like this will probably lead to others imitation." The minister made a comment angrily.
Zhao Jiaren poured a glass of water for the minister and advised calmly: "Don't worry. As long as we have a proper position, we will not fall into the trap of those kids. Since this matter was directly ordered to be promoted by me, of course I have to take responsibility. If it is something that the kids promote, don't let me take the blame for them. There will be so many things in the future, so we should not be encircled."
After hearing Zhao's official family talked to this point, especially admitting that increasing silk production was the official's personal order to promote it, and the minister could only remain silent for the time being. Compared with the official family, the officials and cadres of the Zhengshi Hall were more familiar with Zhao Jiaren, who combined the grand lieutenant and the Taiwei. Any policy implemented by the Zhengshi Hall was related to their status. Once the promotion failed, they would likely be dismissed.
Zhao Jiaren has only been in the official position for a year...
The minister was dancing in his mind, but he saw that the Zhao official family had already written something. After writing, he checked and stamped the seal and asked the confidential secretary. Before the confidential secretary arrived, he handed the things to the minister and "Look."
It says that the Zhao Guanjia asked Liu Boxiong and Jia Weixin to call the village chiefs of each village in Fuyang County to the county town. Don’t tell the village chiefs that Zhao Jiaren would come here in person, but just call them to the county to discuss. After reading it, the minister said in surprise: “Do you want the official to think twice?”
Zhao Jiaren smiled slightly, "This kind of thing is to judge heroes by success or failure, and it is done."
"Success or failure shouldn't we be more cautious?" The minister's voice became much deeper.
"Being a human being is a lifelong thing. Only when the person dies after the final conclusion is that he will die. The success or failure of a hero is to do one thing after another. If this is successful, we have to continue to start the next one. If this is failed, we have to continue to the next one. For this matter, we just need to admit it."
"Officials, there will always be people who have ulterior motives and talk nonsense..." The minister persuaded him very carefully.
"You are right, there are indeed those kind of people. However, the court has the responsibility of educating. We run schools, newspapers, school clubs, and organize various learning activities to make those who have just not learned the correct ideas realize the correct truth, embark on the right path, and become useful workers. Officials and workers jointly govern the world. In addition, the court has the right to punish those who act with such ulterior motives, the court must punish and rebuke them to face the hearing. If the person who holds the wrong ideas says that we are wrong, will we obey their standards?"
"This...of course not." The minister lowered his head after he finished speaking.
At this moment, the confidential secretary had arrived. Zhao Jiaren handed over the order to the secretary, "sent it to Fuyang County."
After the confidential secretary left, Zhao Jiaren said to the minister: "You have participated in this matter, should you write a discussion on internal learning of the society?"
"If you write, what should you use as the topic?" asked the assistant minister.
"The rights and responsibilities are consistent." Zhao Jiaren replied decisively.
"Is the official family trying to determine the good and evil in the world?" The minister was very sharp-thought, and those who could sit in this position were not ordinary people.
