Regardless of Wei Dan's behavior of Mu Ai when he was young, he stubbornly went to Zhen Mi to report the news first, but Fei Qian, who released such a news, is now sitting in the waterside pavilion in the backyard of the General Office, looking at the pool
Among them, small and large fish were swimming around and competing for food. They seemed to be leisurely, but in fact they were thinking about many thoughts.
Chang'an originally had a grand layout, almost like a metropolis in later generations. Chang'an itself is like the sun, and the surrounding tombs are planetary satellites surrounding the sun. To be honest, this pattern, even in later generations, to some extent
, in terms of daily necessities, there will inevitably be a huge demand gap, and such a gap will inevitably lead to price fluctuations, and the interest gap caused by fluctuations is like blood dripping in the deep sea, which will inevitably lead to
Surrounded by sharks.
Just like later generations often gave special subsidies to Kyoto, causing Kyoto to be obsessed with oil, salt, and meat dishes all year round, they were absolutely at the national average. Fei Qian has always invested a lot in order to maintain the stability of Chang'an and increase the attractiveness of Chang'an.
Especially when it comes to basic living necessities such as rice and grain, this is not a benign normal state.
After Chang'an was established as the capital of Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the city of Chang'an declined somewhat. Even if Fei Qian worked hard to manage it, after all, the time was still short and he could not catch up with the prosperity of the Western Han Dynasty. Therefore, the people living in Chang'an now
, most of them are active around the Feiqian political system, and the ordinary people's groups are still relatively weak.
The weak number of common people cannot support a sufficient off-the-job population, and if there are too many off-the-job people gathered, they will in turn be restricted by grain production. If one day something goes wrong with the grain transshipped from Hedong or Hanzhong to Sichuan.
, for example, if the place of production encounters a disaster, or if there are any losses on the way, it will inevitably lead to supply problems in Chang'an City. Let's not talk about the impact. It is estimated that the Shandong nobles will laugh it off.
Therefore, Fei Qian still needs to gather the population, on the one hand, the descendants of the noble family, and on the other hand, the ordinary people.
Although Fei Qian has obtained the Xijing Shangshu Desk, it does not mean that he can be completely separated from the Shandong area and have no contact with him forever. Instead, he must continue to attract the Shandong population to move to Guanzhong. However, if he wants to attract these people, he must
It must reflect a stable, peaceful and prosperous light and shadow, so that people can't help but turn their eyes to Chang'an.
To put it simply, it means tossing and tossing to make money.
The general ceremony is the first step.
These promoted mid-level and high-level officials have moved the campus to a larger pit, which will inevitably open up a lot of original pits. Naturally, these pits are what many people think of as fragrant buns. How to distribute them is a big problem.
Big problem.
Killing is not difficult, the knife rises and falls. After the white knife goes in, whether it is a red knife or a green knife, it is basically done. But if you want to build and develop, you are not a simple-minded guy who only knows how to hack and slash.
Able to move.
Cao Cao, a shrewd man like Cao Cao, suffered from hidden disadvantages in personnel appointments. He failed to guard against it in the early stage and later in the process. All the dams that the previous generation had worked hard to build collapsed under the hoes of his descendants. In the end, the sweet fruits were left open under the tree.
Sima, who pretended to be stupid with his head open and his mouth open, answered the question.
Liu Bei was a monk on his way to becoming a monk. In the end, he was unable to reconcile the elder faction and the local faction throughout his life. He only felt aggrieved by smearing here and there. Even when he died, he had to explain his son's funeral. What to say may or may not be possible, and I will work hard until I breathe my last breath.
As for Sun Quan, he is even less impressive. He is considered the third generation. He is still unable to suppress even the local aristocratic families. Most of the time, he is carried away by the Jiangdong noble family. Although he is usually arrogant and arrogant, he often says that he wants to kill him. , to chop that one, in fact, after speaking harshly, he also complained that he was drunk and said something unserious, and scolded Lu Xun for the rest of his life. In the end, he still asked the old turtle to come out to help him, but anyway, Sun Quan had a thick skin. It's famous, so maybe it's not taken seriously.
Therefore, if Fei Qian is to build a new city in Xijing, he must first lay the foundation stone and determine the personnel regulations, which can even be adopted as a set of rules, so as to contribute to the overall political construction and regional development in the future.
In the corridor, a figure moved slightly. Fei Qian looked up, nodded and waved.
Zhuge Jin bowed his hands in return, and then entered from the corridor to Fei Qian.
"What's the discussion in the city?" Fei Qian first took the notice handed over by Zhuge Jin, looked at it briefly, and then asked. After throwing in the bait, you have to see the fish jump, right? Zhuge Jin acted as Relatively speaking, middle-level people are naturally more likely to have access to a lower level of information than Pang Tong.
Zhuge Jin reported back: "Although there are some objections to Qi Huqi, there is no slander... Perhaps it was because of the previous competition in the academy to test talents and show fairness..."
Fei Qian smiled, signaled to Zhuge Jin that he didn't need to be so formal, and asked him to take his seat. This was to be expected. After all, in the Spring, Autumn, Qin and Han Dynasties, the supply of talents exceeded the demand. Because of such a shortage, So basically speaking, all talented people must be welcomed respectfully. The so-called polite corporal is also true. However, with the growth of population, especially the spread of knowledge, although the noble families have repeatedly controlled it, the spread of culture is like a blur of ink. It is permeable and cannot be completely controlled. Therefore, slowly, as the number of people with knowledge increases, supply gradually exceeds demand.
One of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and then deducting those places where although there are positions, few people are willing to go, such as Jiaozhou and Youzhou, how many prefectures and magistrates are there in the world?
Carrot Pit is limited.
For example, Jingzhaoyin only has ten carrot pits under its jurisdiction: Fengming, Baling, Nanling, Duling, Lantian, Xinfeng, Xiagui, Zhengxian, Huayin, and Huxian, and some important deductions are also required. Locations, such as Lantian close to Wuguan, Huayin close to Jingfu, etc., are impossible to give to ordinary nobles. So after such calculation, how much can be left?
Even if the whole world is included, there are only hundreds of county guards and thousands of county magistrates. And how can such a small number of official positions be divided enough in the face of an increasingly large group of nobles?
One monk drank until he was full, two monks shared the water, and three monks started fighting, not to mention so many radishes with bare legs waiting for a warm and moist pit, so those who desperately want to gain fame and gain one after another Tricks emerged in endlessly in the middle and late Han Dynasty, and even extended to the later feudal dynasties, such as jumping carp from a spring, lying on the ice to beg for carp, etc. Seriously, why do you have to fight carp? Can't silver carp? So can crucian carp. Yes! This is simply blatant fish discrimination!
Then the children of the aristocratic family nearby looked at it, and suddenly realized, how could they do this? I always thought that even if this kind of stupid behavior was done, no one would believe it, but now someone actually did it! They immediately winked at each other and clapped and praised each other.
I wonder if I can do something more sexy...
Fame and popularity are gained by doing things that everyone thinks are idiots. So after becoming an official, will such a person do practical things? The so-called bad money drives out good money, it is not
Only in the financial field, no one is stupider than anyone else. If one fish seeker succeeds, there will be thousands of fish seekers behind him.
Everyone takes the sidewalk and is used to jumping in line to get on the bus, so who will queue obediently?
Will the nobles who were pushed in front and pushed in the back complain about this?
There must be, but due to the tacit understanding and face of the noble clansmen, Dingduo could only secretly scold those idiots who asked for fish, and then left the queue himself, preparing to find a "fish" as well.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Fei Qian's "discussing talents by trial" has a certain public base, but it is only a little bit, not absolute. The reason is very simple. After all, the overall literacy rate in the Han Dynasty was still very low.
, the spread of knowledge is only a little bit, and it is still mostly among the children of the gentry.
However, it doesn't matter, because the focus of Fei Qian's attention is not the result of "trying", but the process of "trying"...
"Tzuyu, just let it go. This time, the additional test will focus on the use..." Fei Qian gently pulled off a small piece of bait and threw it into the pond, which immediately attracted a lot of fish.
Writhing and scrambling.
"Focus on usage?" Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and accepted the order, and then reported some other chores. After receiving the reply, he withdrew.
Fei Qian quietly broke up the ball of bait at hand and threw it out in batches. Finally, he slowly clapped his hands and patted the remaining residue into the water. Then he looked at the big fish rolling and fighting for it.
He and Xiaoyu smiled slightly, turned around and walked forward slowly.
"Go to the Political Affairs Hall." Fei Qian clasped his hands behind his back and calmly ordered Huang Xu outside the pavilion.
The Government Hall and the General's Mansion are now only separated by a wall. After passing through the cloister and turning to the outer courtyard, you will find the side entrance of the Government Hall. When you passed the atrium connected to the Government Hall, you saw Xu Chu standing at the gate of the courtyard. He was originally a tall and round man, but now
Then put on a set of full-body armor specially made by the guards, and stand in the middle of the courtyard gate. It is like an iron gate falling down, tightly blocking the door.
"I have met my lord." Xu Chu stepped aside and revealed a path. Seeing Fei Qian walking by, he followed Huang Xu with his men and entered the political hall together.
Along the way, officials of all sizes were busy bowing to each other. Fei Qian nodded slightly and sat down in the hall.
"Greetings to the lord." Xun You, the person in charge of the hall today, came forward to pay homage.
"No need to be formal..." Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "Longshouyuan Altar, what's the progress?"
Xun You cupped his hands and said, "Now that the work is mostly completed, only the finishing touches are left. Pang Lingjun will be driving around day and night, so we can ensure the good time."
Seeing that the day after tomorrow was the day of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone was naturally nervous. As for Pang Tong, who supervised the construction of the altar, he basically stayed at the construction site day and night except for participating in Fei Qian's religious ceremony on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
superior.
"Five thousand ingots of gold and silver of various kinds, six thousand five hundred bolts of brocade and silk, eight thousand three hundred rolls of cloth, five thousand each of flags, banners, and flags, two thousand five painted shields, one thousand utensils, and five hundred bright armors."
"Three hundred good horses..." Xun You reported the number of objects that he planned to use for the reward one by one. Although each item was not considered to be a lot, when taken together, it was quite huge and staggering.
.
Fei Qian looked at the list and felt a little heartache, but he still had to pretend to be generous and nodded in approval, saying that these were just trivial things, appetizers, and there would be bigger and more things in the future.
While chatting, he checked, and when he turned to the accounts of Ma Zhengsi, which Fei Qian wanted to see, Fei Qian felt happy, but frowned on his face.
In any feudal dynasty, there are silverfish that line their own pockets. Even if there is no direct corruption, there will be more or less a small treasury built in each government office, which is generally used as welfare for officials, such as cold charcoal, summer ice and other money.
.
This kind of small treasury often ends up being used by the chiefs of various departments to do favors for their own benefit to win over subordinate officials. On the one hand, they use the court's money, and on the other hand, they can get the thanks of the officials below, and then make internal decisions.
The external accounts are used for verification by the superiors.
Then it gradually became a routine. Everyone knew about this, but no one said anything. After all, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. When you enjoy the extra benefits, it has become a habit, and the benefits are related to the entire
When the bureaucracy goes up and down, it is not easy to abolish it directly.
When Fei Qian first pacified Chang'an, many places could not be penetrated in place, and naturally he could not manage it in such detail. Although some new decrees were implemented, many places were still operating according to old customs and regulations, and now the war situation is basically
Stable, another large-scale reward was about to be carried out. Seeing that a huge amount of money was going to be spent, I naturally thought about whether to find a few fat insects to kill a wave and get some oil and water back.
Fei Qian paid attention to Ma Zhengsi, not just on a whim, but he started to pay attention to it from an earlier time. This is the foundation of Fei Qian. After all, Yongbin and Ma Xiong are the best in the world. If something goes wrong with Ma Zheng,
It will inevitably shake the foundation. On the other hand, the matter of horse administration, although on the surface it is only about war horses, in fact it involves a lot of property and personnel, and there are a lot of tricks, which naturally gives rise to a lot of room for profit.
The horse administration in the Han Dynasty has a long history. After all, horses have been raised throughout the country since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, there were many shortcomings in the horse administration, so in the later period of Han Wu, it gradually shrank, forming several
It is a large horse-breeding place, and other places gradually stopped raising horses.
Later, when Guangwu established his capital in Luoyang, he wavered on the issue of Xiliang, which resulted in the horse breeding areas in the entire northwest being basically abandoned. Only some horse farms in Youzhou, Jizhou remained, and the number of war horse breeding further shrank.
Now that Fei Qian and Jingping Sanfu have returned, it is natural to resume horse breeding in Longyou, Guanzhong.
Looking at the number reported by the Chief Secretary Ma, Fei Qian knocked on the desk and asked, "Has Gongda ever read this form?"
Xun You was stunned, stepped forward to take a look, and said quickly: "This is a new entry, I haven't checked it carefully yet..."
Fei Qian threw the watch and seal heavily on the table, and almost knocked over the pen and inkstone with a bang, which attracted the glances of many officials who were running back and forth in the corridors on both sides of the hall.
The sound of his movements was several times quieter, and for a while, he tiptoed in silence.
"It is said that Fei and Fei are here!" Fei Qian seemed to be suppressing his anger and ordered in a deep voice. Immediately, a guard responded loudly and hurried out amid the sound of clanging armor.
Xun You bowed in the hall and remained motionless.
Fei Qian's voice was loud and loud as he rolled out in the hall, "Beijing and Zhao are surrounded by hundreds of ministers and thousands of officials. They have many benefits outside of their duties. Although there are annual records to check, there are often things left in the treasury that are unknown.
Missing! There is also the so-called damage caused by wind and rain when the local punishment is questioned! In order to seek benefits, some people who are very unreasonable, use Adu as the sentence! It is not that I don’t know, but I know that all officials are working hard, and it is best to be considerate. Today
However, there are some officials who disregard human relations, violate etiquette and law, shake the foundation, pursue selfish desires, eat away at whales, regard a good intention as dirt, deceive their superiors, and collude for personal gain! They should be punished for their crimes!"
Many officials in the hall were sweating profusely and trembling with fear.
Corruption, as long as there is public power with adequate supervision and sufficient oil and water, it goes without saying that it will definitely become like a mold. It may seem like there is only a little bit today, but it will grow into a whole lot tomorrow.
What Fei Qian said is actually not just a shortcoming of the current officialdom of the Han Dynasty. The ancients have never been stupid. In fact, the Han Dynasty has long had some of the skills and so on that the officialdom should have for thousands of years. The rest of the feudal dynasties in later generations only existed in
It is just a matter of carrying it forward on this basis. For example, before the year-end audit, surprise expenditures and inventory clearances are all basic operations.
Another example is the criminal investigation in various places. The main measurement criteria are two, one is the number of incidents, and the other is the rate of closure. If the number of incidents is too small, it is a good thing, but it is not a good thing. After all, less is almost equivalent to nothing.
If there is no such thing as "banditry", then what's the point of allocating funds? It's not enough to have too much. Too much is equivalent to poor governance, so most of the time there is a relatively stable standard, and if something happens this year by accident
If there are too many, the better officials will shelve it first and then move it to next year. The worse officials will even directly refuse to accept it, shirk it, and let the victims run away. This is especially true for the case closure rate. In order to improve the case closure rate,
It is even more common for large-scale raids and arrests to be carried out and torture to extract confessions leading to wrongful convictions.
These are all problems, and they are still stubborn diseases.
To treat this stubborn disease, it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine.
Fei He is the son of Fei Qian's uncle Fei Min. He has been serving as Ma Zhengsi Congcao for some time, and this seal was also signed and reported by Fei He as the supervisor of Ma Zhengsi.
Fei Qian believed in the numbers in the watch, but Fei He didn't look at it carefully, or he thought he didn't need to look at it...
"Gongda will step aside for the time being and we will discuss the matter later..." Fei Qian looked at Xun You and said lukewarmly. Xun You is a good person in people's livelihood and government affairs, strategies, etc., but he just likes to be like Xini.
Ichijo has a bad character. It has been some time since Feihe took office. Xun You, who is in charge of Chang'an's economy and trade, must have heard about issues like this, but Xun You did not express any expression, nor did he take the initiative to mention it.
Although Fei Qian had suppressed it before and only showed up now, which seems to have deceived Fei He, but at present, Fei Qian's own territory was fought out of blood and fire, and he worked hard to get it.
In the current situation, as a member of the Fei family, if you cannot contribute to the overall situation, you can just stick to your duties, and you will have to provide for your life. However, maybe it is due to nature, or maybe you are deceived by others. Although you have the authority, you do not seem to be able to handle affairs.
Having no talent or ability, I can't blame myself for being reduced to a chicken above the sword!
