Chapter 530 Preventing troubles before they happen
As long as the New Army's pay was not deducted and the people participating in the concert were true, the court only needed to send someone to verify it, and it would not be that urgent.
"The opening of the Hehuang border is currently the most serious border issue between the country and the DPRK. Your Majesty, I suggest that the court send capable ministers to Xihe to verify. Whether it is withholding military pay, exchanging money in the market, or lying about farming, the court needs the truth.
.”
"Who does the rich prime minister think should take on this responsibility?"
"Your Majesty, I think that the imperial censor Zhongcheng Cai is indeed worthy of his appointment!"
Zhao Xi looked at Fu Bi, then at Wang Anshi... It was a little strange. Cai Que was originally recommended by Wang Anshi, so why did Fu Bi speak for him at this time?
Even Cai Que's earliest benefactor, Han Jiang, didn't propose...
"There is only one hectare of wasteland? We really should investigate! Find out who is lying! If you want to investigate, conduct a thorough investigation and go with the three envoys, the Ministry of Revenue, the Sinong Temple and the Gongfang City Survey Department."
"The Yushitai is responsible for investigating the issue of military pay, the three envoys are responsible for investigating the exchange of goods in the market, Sinong Temple is responsible for inspecting local crop growth, and Gongfang City is inspecting abandoned farmland. Each performs its own duties and reports separately."
Zhao Xi doesn't need to really pay attention to who Cai Que belongs to. Maybe he doesn't belong to anyone. He just found a suitable way according to the political situation in different periods.
This is the case in the imperial court. Even an investigation abroad can be evaluated as merit in the end.
In other words, courtiers basically do nothing, and if they do something, they can be credited!
"Your Majesty, if the impeachment is not true..."
Wang Anshi seemed to have something to say. Wang Shao stepped aside, and Wang Anshi was the most actively supportive of the husband, and some early results indeed proved that his support was correct.
At this time, when the side affairs turned to a channel of rapid progress, such an incident suddenly appeared, which made people worried.
"This is the reason why I promoted the supervision system. In the original censor, no one could be punished for his words, which resulted in ministers and subordinates being able to criticize each other at will without taking responsibility."
"In this way, the censor's official position has gradually become a tool, and impeachment has become a cost-free tool. Anyone who is impeached must wait for reference, and then few officials are reinstated."
Zhao Xi was talking about him because he knew clearly what Wang Anshi was referring to. He was nothing more than Li Shizhong, the current magistrate of Qinzhou.
But Zhao Xi had no intention of changing. Not to mention that it was during the official reform period. Even in ordinary times, he would not let Qinzhou go to a large area like Hehuang to make only one voice.
He could let Wang Shao have more discretion, and even give Li Shizhong some advice, but he would never arrange for an official who was close to Wang Shao to take charge of Qinzhou affairs.
"If the supervisory system is perfected, the Xihe River is open, and Qinzhou has a permanent supervisory office to supervise, and at the same time, the army has civil servants and supervisors, unless the entire team is rotten, there will never be anything like what the bullets say
thing……"
When Wang Anshi saw that the officials had brought the topic to the preparation for the establishment of the Supervisory Yamen, he understood that it was impossible to transfer Li Shizhong away.
Wang Shao was in Xihe and was controlled by Qinzhou. He didn't even have control over money and food, so he had to rely on Qinzhou for support.
Even so, he still opened up the situation, but unexpectedly he not only set up obstacles, but even played the tune at the court meeting.
Wang Shao was not allowed to mention these matters in reports to officials, but he did not cover them up in his letters to him.
Wang Anshi felt that no matter whether the official family was happy or not, he must let the court give Wang Shao enough support.
"Official officials, the Hehuang Kaibian project has begun to bear fruit, and it must not be abandoned just because of words. Moreover, the Hehuang Kaibian project has always been under the rule of Qinzhou Prefecture. If Wang Shao has the power to command the army, he will have the ability to do so.
Use it with authority."
"However, the purpose of the Hehuang border opening policy is to suppress and appease at the same time. Now Wang Shao's three-sided government is not an independent yamen, and things are often hampered. I believe that with the current situation of border opening affairs, the court should give Wang Shao an advantage.
power."
"Moreover, Qinzhou was originally Shangzhou. First there were Lanzhou, Gaolan, and then Miaochuan. Now the territory under Qinzhou's rule is almost equivalent to the Jingdong Road. I think we can order the establishment of a road to specifically open the border!"
Wang Anshi was cautious in his innovations, but his temper was still the same, and he was truly full of words.
Regarding the bullets that appeared in today's court meeting, none of the old foxes in Zhengshitang are unclear about the reasons.
Li Shizhong was still angry with his family.
In fact, as long as the opening of the river bank can be achieved, Li Shizhong, as the magistrate of Qinzhou, will have his share of the credit.
Today's officials are no longer the former emperor, they are no longer indecisive and indecisive, and they no longer move a feudal official just because of some impeachment.
Just look at how many officials have been touched during these years of official administration?
What's more, Wang Shao was the initiator of the Ping Rong policy. When the border affairs were successful, he thought about picking peaches, which really didn't look good.
But no one would endorse Wang Shao, even if they were not relatives or friends, there was no need. Today's Hehuang border opening can actually be advanced with or without Wang Shao.
Therefore, they all pretended to be confused. Except when the officials asked about military pay, Wen Yanbo gave an explanation, and then they all looked at him. In addition, the officials looked at him and talked about him, so no one spoke up.
That means Wang Anshi and Wang Shao are closer...
"What do you think?"
"I second the proposal..."
"I thought Xihe was enough to establish a..."
The official asked, if he continues to pretend to be deaf and dumb, it will be unreasonable.
It was obvious that the officials were already looking at everyone's performance at this time and were not prepared to let everyone pretend.
"Your Majesty, it is possible to open a border in Hehuang, but with an army of ten thousand people and located on the border, there are major hidden worries in this situation. Now that the censors cannot be appointed for the time being, I suggest that it be a good idea to set up a censorship army in Hehuang!"
At this time, everyone had suggestions. The army was Wen Yanbo's responsibility. It was the right thing to make up for the king's omissions.
"What Wen Xiang said is absolutely true. It's very good. Since we talk about nip in the bud, I have an idea. Maybe it can be implemented not only at the border area of Hehuang, but also in the military states of the country and the dynasty."
"The Qinzhou branch of the Royal Bank set up a business office in Hehuang. The Privy Council set up personal accounts in the bank based on the roster and compared it with the soldiers one by one. Whenever military pay was issued, the bank only needed to directly face the military based on the Privy Council roster.
All you need to do is distribute money and food to each individual."
Needless to say, the advantage of this is not only to avoid the deduction of military pay, but also to increase the court's control and management of the military.
After looking at the somewhat fiery expressions on the faces of all the gentlemen, Zhao Xi continued his thoughts while the iron was hot.
"In addition, since the Xihe Order has been established, regarding barter matters, Sinong Temple will send people to Hehuang to be responsible for land reclamation and grain trading, and Gongfang City will send people to be responsible for wool purchase. The three envoys and the Salt and Iron Department will also
Personnel should also be stationed, and even the tax supervisors from the Ministry of Household Affairs should also be stationed."
"Although it will not be governed by a mature state capital, the functions that the court should have must be improved first."
This is the most satisfying duet that Zhao Xi has had in a long time. Every husband's performance is positive and their opinions are unified. It really feels like the monarch and his ministers are united.
