Tongtong stood on top, smiling brightly, as if she was only talking to the queen.
Just listen to what she said, "Women, it is a good deed to burn incense and worship Buddha, it is a good deed to build bridges and pave roads; it is a good deed to give out porridge and charity, and it is also a good deed to show mercy to the elderly and salespeople. The court is a pillar of talent, and the inner curtain must be extremely well-educated. Entrusted
With things like this, you can rest assured.”
The Sixth Prince seemed to have a taste for it, and the focus was on the phrase 'building bridges and paving roads'!
These two couples are working together emotionally!
He took advantage of the situation and said: "What the concubine said is true, I think we can try it! His Highness the Crown Prince also mentioned it before, thinking that the official system is weakened, and we are discussing what to do. I didn't expect the concubine to propose this matter, I thought it would be better.
It is very appropriate. The road sections are built according to the boundaries of the jurisdiction. There are people repairing them every day, so there is no worry of being neglected..."
How can this work?
This matter should not be taken lightly. They all knelt down and said, "No!" This matter of repairing bridges and paving roads is definitely not a matter like the Salesian Bureau. This is different. It involves all aspects of the court, how can it be called
Isn’t it child’s play for a woman to interfere?
The Fourth Master said: "What's the point of building bridges and paving roads? It's about daily maintenance. This road is not only closely related to it, but also closely related to officials and people everywhere. We did discuss this matter before and suggested organizing refugees to join the army. This method is indeed feasible.
.It can be said to be a way to solve the current difficulties of the court." As he said that, he looked at the eldest prince and the second prince.
The two of them nodded at the same time. In fact, that's what they both thought.
But Tongtong followed up and said, "How long can this method be used? Ten years? Twenty years? Thirty years? Over time, it will inevitably lead to redundant staff, redundant officials, and then redundant expenses! At that time, it is time to
What should I do? If you spend money and things are done well, the money will be worth it. But you guys
You should also know that once it develops to this point, it means passing the blame and refusing to take responsibility. In fact, if the road is not good, the court can give them more money. If the road is not good, the court can always need them. So, this became
An endless loop. Then it turns into a big problem! No problem
Not now, but in the future. Today, there is a better way to avoid this kind of trouble, why not? In fact, the quality of the road has the closest relationship with the local people. Only they will sincerely hope for a better road.
All roads are easy to follow, and only they know which way
The roads inside need to be repaired. So, why can't the roads be handed over to people who are closely related to the local area? The wives in charge will change the chief officials as their husbands are transferred. Whoever takes office will do their best. Officials are elected every five years.
Five years is enough to repair the road..."
"But this matter is related to the supervision of the imperial court, and the appointment of officials is by no means as simple as the concubine thought." Mr. Cheng Ge looked at His Majesty eagerly, "Your Majesty, you must not do it."
Emperor Wen Zhao smiled in his heart, but there was some hesitation on his face. Tongtong looked unhappy, and even looked at the eldest prince, the second prince, and others, asking for help.
Xiaowu was anxious, feeling that Tongtong's right to pull was really tempting, so he hurriedly said: "Father, the princess's plan may be tried out!"
The second prince whispered: "Back off, you can't do this at this time."
Why doesn't it work?
Seeing that Xiao Wu was about to argue in a hurry, the fourth master spoke now, "Don't be anxious, everyone. Isn't this a discussion? The policy of concubine is indeed inappropriate, but it is not entirely unreasonable. Since concubine
If the concubine’s method doesn’t work, then I’ll just throw some ideas out there and talk about a method to see if it works.”
As long as you don't ask women to take part in this matter, just say it.
The Fourth Master said, "There are officials in various places, and they are hired by local governments. They are paid by the tax and money departments of each place. I think that from now on, all officials will be registered, assessed by each province, and given official status below the eighth grade."
Enter the official position
If you are loyal to your duties, have outstanding political achievements, and have a good official reputation, you can be promoted as appropriate. The road can be left to the officials. From the post station to the official road, you can set up a fourth-grade yamen to be in charge.
"
The yamen in charge is only of the fourth rank, so it's really not a high-ranking place.
Apart from giving these people status, what extra money was spent on them? Salaries?
No! In the past, salaries were paid by local governments. It was like the county magistrate thought these people were worthy of use, so he retained them. The taxes collected by the county were used to pay salaries to these people.
Now that the imperial court wants to distribute it, it means that this part of the money must be handed over to the imperial court first, and then distributed in the name of the imperial court.
The money was exchanged, and the other party was given a low-level official position, without having to support an idle person. But in fact, the matter was settled at once.
Local road construction still requires manpower.
Is it feasible to just rely on oppression and make people work without giving them money or food?
No way! First, once you enter the ranks of officials, you will be included in the assessment of the court. Once you are found out, your head will fall to the ground, and your children and grandchildren will not be able to get ahead. They harmed the local people in their hometown. If something bad happens, then the local people in the hometown will not be able to get ahead.
People can eat them alive. It's like some petty thieves who commit crimes elsewhere but persist in doing so.
There is a reason to never attack at the door. They are afraid of offending the public. People are no longer afraid of families that have been officials for generations. Secondly, they are under the jurisdiction of parents and officials in various places, and they also have certain interests with each other.
and competitive relationships. Supervise each other! When personnel relationships are complicated, everyone has to stretch their muscles.
Of course, there are many more things to consider in these details.
But compared to asking women to build bridges and pave roads, this seems to be easier to accept.
Lin Keyong said: "Why make it so complicated? Concubine Chu said it very well!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at him angrily. The Lord may not listen to what the concubine said, but what about Link?
Who doesn't know that the saint treats this sworn brother as half a son, a sibling when he relies on him, and dotes on him more than he dotes on the princes? His words are truly taken into account by the saint!
The concubine’s move was to gain power for herself! It is the duty of the queen to be the concubine, and naturally it is also the responsibility of the concubine. The more authority the concubine has, the more important the queen and concubine are. Needless to say, everyone
Things to understand.
As the biological father of the concubine, he is still looking out for his daughter!
It’s Yulang! Ah!
Being forced like this, the maknae of Cheng Ge said: "Your Highness, this method, I think... can be tried. The concubine proposed that the affairs of the Salesian Home be put in charge of the internal affairs woman, and I also think it is feasible."
It means, let’s each take a step back! Find a middle balance point.
Emperor Wen Zhao touched the beard on his chin and asked the queen tentatively: "Is that so?"
The queen had a smile on her face, and patted Tongtong comfortingly, her tone full of comfort, "Then so be it."
Emperor Wen Zhao looked at the eldest prince and the second prince again, "Then this matter... is this?" In fact, the two brothers' ideas were not very different. They did not use their strategy at this time and chose the prince's.
The second prince nodded, "That's fine, let's try it!"
The eldest prince also said, "The details have to be worked out jointly by the cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel."
The fourth master nodded, "What the eldest and second emperor brothers said is true. I believe it to be true."
Emperor Wen Zhao asked the courtiers: "If you all have no objections, then let's do this?" The emperor is wise!
Emperor Wen Zhao stood up and said, "Then we will retreat from the court! Everyone should be busy with their own affairs."
So, they dispersed and everyone went about their own business.
Emperor Wen Zhao laughed as soon as he returned and laughed loudly, "Qiushi, you saw it! The young couple's cooperation is called a tacit understanding! When one has a red face and the other has a white face, singing in harmony, the court will be much more lively."
The queen also laughed, "This child Tongtong has nothing but courage! She quite dares to risk the disapproval of the world. She dares to think what others dare not think! She dares to do what others dare not do."
"In this aspect, I am actually most like my uncle." Emperor Wen Zhao felt disappointed again and grabbed an orange crookedly. "No one came to me and made noise. My ears are clean." He said.
He lay down and closed his eyes. He was wearing some sleepy pajamas. "If you can't finish the matter, ask Lu Cheng to send it to the East Palace! I haven't slept at noon for many years. I want to have a good rest!"
In the past, you couldn't sleep even if you were asked to sleep, but now someone has asked you to take care of things, and you feel relaxed.
I fell asleep when I said I was sleeping, and my snoring was so loud.
The queen also specially called the imperial doctor to take a look. The imperial doctor waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the dragon's body is healthy."
That's just because I just want to sleep.
As a result, the Fourth Master's imperial study room was filled with treasures.
The East Palace immediately started operating at high speed. It must be said that the efficiency of this prince is really high.
But he is too tall, so it is a little difficult for me.
Therefore, for the first time, there are limited days in the document. For example, this matter is limited to three days for settlement. The progress of this matter will be reported every seven days; this matter needs to be slowed down, and it will last for three months, so don't be impatient.
Moreover, the prince also helped to revise the book. For example, he used a red pen to tick out a few sentences, and the crossed-out line seemed to have a clear sentence written on it, that is: be less wordy.
After Tongtong knew what Fourth Master was busy with, she didn't care. It was really cold, and she would rather the cat take a nap on the couch!
Tongtong was a little confused when Xiaowu came.
"Are you sleeping?" Xiaowu leaned closer to Tongtong, "Are you really asleep?"
Tongtong didn't get up, "Why are you here? You've been so tired lately, I thought you could take a rest."
"I'm in a hurry to ask you to go to my mother's house to see how to deal with this matter. It's better for you, you're so sleepy."
Is that all there is to it? Tongtong refused to compete with her, "You go ahead! Start well and end well! Once this matter is done, it will be your capital."
You really don't care?
"I really don't care!" Tongtong yawned, "I am the concubine! I have my errands. Don't make trouble and go by yourself."
But what should I do alone?
Tongtong nodded at her, "How stupid! Why are you alone? Isn't Zhao Defeng idle? Her brain is very useful. And that Pearl of the Han family, isn't he a smart person? He has many friends, including officials and family members.
In the past, women from aristocratic families living outside had higher knowledge than ordinary people. What if they were employed as female officials? Officials can become officials as long as they pass the examination, so naturally female officials are also female officials. They are just not of high grade."
Dare to use them?
"Why don't you dare?" Tongtong looked at her, "If it goes well, use it! If it doesn't go well, kill me. The knife is in your hand, what are you afraid of? Give them a chance to save people! Saving people is your kindness, killing people
It's your right. Good or evil depends on their thoughts, and whether to kill or not depends on your thoughts."
Xiao Wu's heart was awe-inspiring, and she thought of the Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty. Emperor Wu kept Shangguan Yi's granddaughter Shangguan Wan'er by his side, and entrusted him with important tasks to create a powerful female prime minister.
What kind of courage and courage is this.
It’s strange! Xiaowu actually saw the shadow of Emperor Wu in the lazy Tongtong.
