Chapter 649: Cold Treatment

This method of the two palaces is simply a woman's trick, with no technical content at all! It is a huge damage to the political ecology!

After thinking about it, he decided that it would be better to cool down first, and said to Liang Yanming and Shen Chen: "I haven't written the thank you note yet. I'll finish writing the thank you note to His Majesty first."

Liang Yanming hurriedly said: "I'm here to practice ink for Dayin."

Shen Chen spread the paper and pressed it.

Seeing the two of them busy at work, Su You smiled and said, "You two don't need to be too nervous. Everyone knows what's going on."

"Actually, Xianggong Wang has already done what he can. He also knows that he can't continue to pursue the case and needs a step up, so he threw the burden to us. Is this analysis correct?"

The two nodded repeatedly.

Su You continued: "It's okay now. Zhang Mao is from the Empress Dowager. If this matter is settled with Wen Qigu, can it continue? It's obviously impossible."

"So Mr. Wang will only suffer a loss in this matter. No, it's not a loss to be precise."

"My husband didn't make a fuss at that time and was still very stable. In fact, from that time on, the matter was considered over."

"Your Majesty also understands what he means. The minister has lost his dignity in the palace and must be given an explanation no matter what."

"So now all three parties need a step down. Who will be the step down? It's our Kaifeng Mansion."

Liang Yanming and Shen Chen nodded repeatedly. After Tanhua Lang analyzed it, isn't this the case?

Su You picked up his pen and started writing a note of thanks: "Don't feel aggrieved. Kaifeng Mansion was born to do this job, so the blame should be shouldered."

As he said this, he began to write without stopping: "Or to put it another way, for the sake of the stability of the court, the Kaifeng Mansion must tune the cauldron, bear the heavy burden, and move forward regardless of gains and losses. Don't you think so?"

The two of them couldn't help but laugh and cry. To be able to say so loudly about taking the blame, Tan Hwa Lang, you are indeed Tan Hwa Lang.

Su You continued to comfort and enlighten: "Kaifeng Prefecture is not short of money. Even if it is short of money, I can still go and ask for it from Your Majesty. So we must be able to do things, do things that other prefectures cannot do, and do things that will be praised by both the government and the public." matter. Our mission is completed."

"What things? It's just four words, two things - prosperity and stability."

"Anything that affects these two things, we will fight with all our lives. As for those trivial things, we will wipe them away if we can, and carry them if we can't. In this way, the credit and hard work will be paid. Your Majesty, your Majesty, will see it, and the people's hearts will be lifted. It’s always about flesh, isn’t it?”

"This is the correct way to conduct the affairs of the Kaifeng Mansion. Since my husband has checked the law and there is no clear prohibition, then the guards beating the Prime Minister's carriage and horse entourage at the palace gate are acting rudely."

"So in two days, we will bring out the guards who beat Mr. Wang. The leader will beat them thirty times, and the others ten times. Then they will go back to their homes to find their mothers."

"After that, I will ask Your Majesty to clarify the decree. Unless there is a special decree, all ministers will dismount their horses and vehicles outside the palace gate."

"Xiangong Wang did not report in time and delayed the case, which made it impossible to continue to pursue the case. Therefore, as a party concerned, he should also bear certain responsibilities."

"This is the only way the matter can be handled, and everyone can step up to the plate."

The two of them watched Su You write the thank you form quickly and analyzed the affairs with them. They were also impressed in their hearts. Tan Hualang was not old, but he was really thoughtful and pen-savvy.

After writing the thank you note, Su You said: "Call them all in. Let's get to know each other first, and then we can talk about the major events this year."

A big event is just around the corner, the imperial examination.

All candidates from all walks of life were crowded into Kaifeng Mansion. Including those who took exams at the end of last year, many people stayed here for several months, and many of their financial expenses were exhausted.

Just like when Sansu came to Beijing for the first time, there must have been many examples of eating "white rice" - white rice, white salt, and white radish in the temple.

Su You thought for a while: "In this way, go to the Ministry of Rites, copy the registration forms of each candidate, confirm their residence, and ask Li Zheng to ask about the situation and see those who really need help. Minister Qianli Allocate part of it to provide relief."

Liang Yanming nodded in agreement.

Then there is the prison. Shen Chen said that there are now many households in the city that cannot repay their loans, and the Kaifeng Mansion Prison is now overcrowded.

Su You touched his forehead: "Well... pay attention to hygiene in crowded places, and treat those who are sick in time. Go tell Lu Jiawen that if these people are to be thrown to Kaifeng Mansion, then you must be responsible for keeping them alive."

"Medical expenses, health expenses, and management fees all have to be paid. He is not short of money now, but he is short of official prestige. If he doesn't pay, don't blame me for giving it all to him."

Shen Chen was a little worried: "Lu Tiju's side... is holding the money bag of the salary of a subordinate official in Kaifeng Prefecture."

Su You glared: "This city's affairs are inexplicable. It is nominally under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Mansion, but now it dares to deny even the honor of the Chief of Staff."

“Mr.

Liang Yanming and Shen Chen looked at each other in confusion. Does Tanhua Lang want to make a strong case? Wang Xianggong's case is not taken seriously, and neither is the famous person in the New Party!

The big guys are fighting, and the little devils below will suffer. I'm afraid life will be difficult...

The rest are all trivial, difficult problems have not been solved for decades, and systems have been established for decades but not implemented. Anyway, it is the norm in the officialdom.

So there was no rush. On this day, after everything was finished, Su You asked: "Why didn't anyone mention the river affairs? Kaifeng City has a small flood every three years and a big flood every five years, and no one cares about it?"

Liang Yanming smiled apologetically and said: "No, that's usually a matter for the Hequ Department. We are just working together on materials and money."

Su You expressed his dissatisfaction: "This is not possible. Everything can be done if it is not done in advance. The reserve of work and materials must be put in the front, rather than being caught temporarily."

"In this way, you should assume that there will definitely be floods and fires this year, and you should hurry up and prepare everything that needs to be done. If you need me to coordinate, just report it."

The two people below looked at each other in confusion, and couldn't help but slobber in their hearts. If you just said this on New Year's Day, do you still need to be taboo?!

Su You, however, didn't take it seriously: "I can't tell the reason from what you said. I'm going to announce the announcement and ask the Kaifeng government office to solicit suggestions from all the citizens - first let's decide whether to attack this or that, otherwise the suggestions will be invalid - Just talk about the public welfare issues that you are eager to solve!"

"Then we pick out the ten most urgent major issues that need to be dealt with as the tasks of Kaifeng Mansion this year, and we put some burden on ourselves."

"Having done the ten things that the people ask for is a great gift from us and gives them a satisfied Bianjing!"

Liang Yanming and Shen Chen were both stunned. Isn't this the one who caused trouble like Mr. Niao?

After the list was posted, countless posts flew into the government office like snowflakes, but Su You clapped his hands and ran downstairs to investigate.

Kaifeng Prefecture governs sixteen counties, including Xiangfu and Kaifeng, and two are Chi counties. Its tax revenue is the highest among all counties in the world.

The other ones are also in Wang County. To paraphrase later generations, they account for a huge proportion of the national GDP.

Of course, this is also a bit abnormal. All the country's taxes, grain and crops are being moved here, which has led to the emergence of metropolitan disease in Kaifeng.

Urban diseases are manifested in many aspects such as population expansion, traffic congestion, housing difficulties, environmental deterioration, resource constraints, and high prices.

However, this problem does not last for a day or two. Su You is not in a hurry. He first takes stock of how much foundation he has before he can consider how big the market will be.

It's actually easier to do things in the city. Sitong's business, Wangyuge, has been doing economic intelligence analysis for more than ten years.

On the contrary, in peripheral counties, the farmland annexation situation, social composition, economic pillars, etc. need to be carefully investigated and investigated.

Su You couldn't trust those county magistrates, and the character of the local gentry was also of concern, so he and Zhang Qi paid a private visit in disguise, dressed up as scholars who were applying for the examination, and wandered around.

After research, the counties under Kaifeng's jurisdiction are relatively good.

In the most virtuous area, at the feet of the Emperor, no matter how miserable the people are, they can't be as miserable as Shaanxi and Hebei.

However, the annexation of land and land was severe. Basically, most of the land in each township was in the hands of the annexing family. Then, based on the clan unit, most clan members became the clients of the clan leader.

These customers and lower-class households had pitifully few resources. After the implementation of the Green Crop Law, Bianjing experienced two small floods, which intensified the intensity of mergers.

The only way to get rid of rural clan rule is to increase the literacy rate, increase farmers' awareness of autonomy, broaden their horizons, and generate population mobility.

However, this is a problem that cannot be completely solved until the transformation from an agricultural country to an industrialized country is completed. For now, it is already a great political achievement to be able to pay taxes on these fields normally.

After researching and moving forward, the two of them came to Xiaoguan Village west of Xiangfu today. Seeing that it was getting late, they went to find a relatively clean house to stay.

This family was really poor. In the yard, a six- or seven-year-old boy was sitting on a stool reading "The Analects of Confucius". The woman was driving the chickens into the chicken shed, and the old woman was cooking soup on the side of the stove.
