"If I suspect Mr. Li, why do I need someone to investigate?"
As Zhao Jiuben blurted out and choked, not only Li Gang fell silent, but also several other close ministers...no one else, this moment and the other moment.
Not to mention the two parties involved and many close ministers who had experienced that period personally, even the old man Renbaozhong of Dangxiang knew that when Zhao Guanjia first came to the throne, Li Gang was relied upon by the court and the national flag. He wanted to fight against the Jin Dynasty and unite people's hearts.
If you want to re-establish a court, only Mr. Li can do it.
At that time, Li Xianggong looked down upon the Zhao Guan family, and the Zhao Guan family could only remain silent under the Buddha statue.
So, later on, the official tied Han Shizhong with a belt on the Huai River, bought Zhang Jun with half a duck, killed Liu Guangshi at the same time, held the troops and horses for a while, and used fishing tactics to withstand the Jin Dynasty.
It seemed that the army was advancing, and it was considered that it had some power... but it was deceived immediately after the war, leaving Li Xianggong in Yangzhou, and he took advantage of the situation to turn to Nanyang... Although this move was said to be a need to resist gold, it was a way to get rid of it.
Li Xianggong's control and his intention to personally take the initiative in the court should not be too obvious.
However, even so, it is still necessary to change Mr. Li to Mr. Li, and to hand over the queen mother, virtuous concubine, and emperor's heir to the other party as a tacit understanding. Then, all the political power in the southeast must be entrusted to others to make the situation better.
Stable.
This situation lasted until the great victory at Yanling, when the Zhao Guan family regained the old capital, gained the recognition of Zong Zezong and the political and military heritage of the Tokyo Remaining Department, and gained unprecedented political prestige. Only then did the host and guest completely change, and the relationship between monarch and ministers
The situation reversed.
In fact, in the eyes of some political animals, the incident of the Southeast Army Rebellion and the Emperor's Succession may not be a bad thing. Otherwise, according to the personalities of this pair of monarchs and ministers, they would inevitably cause some kind of drama between the monarch and his ministers in traditional feudal political activities.
When the time comes, it will not be beautiful.
And time went further, and now, Li Gang has lost all his internal and external wings, and even his brother no longer wants to do intermediary work for his brother. However, the Zhao Guan family enjoys its own prestige after Yaoshan. An untimely veteran like Li Gang, and
He is an old powerful minister, so of course he seems even more out of place.
In this case, according to everyone's understanding and tacit political rules, anyone can come and talk about old things, whether it is the child watching, the issue of the Southeast Army rebellion and the emperor's heir, or the previous resistance to the imperial government.
As long as Zhao Guanjia wants, they can openly and openly end Li Boji's political life - the so-called promotion of Mingdao Palace and resettlement in Nanjing.
On this point, Li Gang himself obviously thought so after experiencing so much.
However, these people all misjudged. Regarding Li Gang and the time traveler Zhao Jiu, they have their own special views. Even the sentence just said was just choked as soon as they met, and then they choked on it.
Just go back.
In fact, if there is one person in the world who knows that Li Gang will never be treated like that by his Zhao Guan family, then that person is definitely Zhao Jiu himself.
"I crossed the river to Taiping Prefecture first. Firstly, I haven't seen Mr. Li for many years, and I miss him... I should come and take a look..." Zhao Jiu thought for a while, and finally chose to be honest. "Secondly,
The reason is to use Li Gong’s place to avoid the limelight first, and to find out the basics of the South beforehand, so that we can do anything..."
"How are officials going to do something? To whom?" Li Gang remained silent but remained wary. "With all due respect, since Lu Yihao set up Yuechun Money and started making money, the people of Jiangnan have exhausted their power..."
"Who does this citizen refer to?" After finally suppressing his emotions, Zhao Jiufu felt a little angry again. "Is it the poor people who work and weave with their own hands, or the wealthy businessmen and landlords who throw away thousands of coins at every turn? Or is it the people who collect rent every year?
Can I receive a temple worth seven to eight hundred stones?"
Li Gang was silent for a moment again, and then asked with a hint of stubbornness: "Why do the officials think that I am speaking to those people? When and where did I show my presence to these people?"
This time it was Zhao Jiu's turn to get stuck.
There are two monarchs and ministers, one is twenty-seven or eighty years old, he is young and vigorous, and his authority is at the peak; the other is about fifty years old, knowing that he is weak, but his momentum does not decrease.
On the banks of the Yangtze River, they fell into a long silence and looked at each other.
The surrounding ministers, as well as Taiping Prefecture officials, all buried their heads to the deepest level.
There is no need to say much about the authority of the official family, and for a man like Li Gang who has served as a public minister, no one dares to provoke him until he has received clear instructions from the official family... The atmosphere gradually became awkward and solemn.
After a long pause, it was Zhao Guanjia who actually chose to give in. He sighed slightly, spoke a little slower, and faced each other seriously on the south bank of the Yangtze River: "Li Qing, I went south this time to do something, not to fight with you.
, Even if Li Qing is resentful, he should behave like a minister and let me enter the city."
Li Gang probably felt a little desolate, so he bowed and got out of the way, then shook his head in reply: "I am an official guarding the land, how can I prevent the emperor from entering the city?"
Zhao Jiu also became more and more confident. He immediately put the account book behind his hands, got on his horse, and then rode into the city.
After entering the city, since the emperor and his ministers were having another quarrel, the atmosphere was naturally not as harmonious as in Yangzhou. Both parties hesitated for a moment and then left immediately - Li Gang returned to his home, but because Zhao Guan's family came in a hurry, he could only stay in the state temporarily.
Mansion.
The monarch and his ministers reunited, but they had nothing to say. Looking back on the day they parted in Huaishang, the two of them compared themselves to Zhaolie and Wuhou, which was a bit baffling.
"I have long heard that Mr. Li has an upright temper, but he is unexpectedly so aggressive? How can the official family tolerate it?"
Since Zhao Guan's family has been incorporated into the state capital, it is still early, so they naturally have to go see those investigation reports, and that's it for others. Several ministers who crossed the river in advance and wrote the investigation reports cannot be dispersed, so they can only stay at the side of the state capital.
In the courtyard, they were chatting with each other, waiting for the recruitment news... The person speaking at this time was the new secretary Lang, Zong Ying, who was accompanying him for the first time.
"The people in Xiaoshe think too much."
Renbaozhong knew that this newly joined minister was another reincarnation, but his qualifications were ordinary, and his biological father was dead after all, so he wanted to win over him, so he immediately responded. "This has nothing to do with temper, it has to do with
It has something to do with the position... To put it bluntly, Xianggong Li was kicked out of his position as a dignified minister. It is normal for him to be angry. As for the officials, they also know this truth, so how can they argue with him?
Don’t stop? Believe it or not, as long as the officials allow Mr. Li to regain his position immediately, the monarch and his ministers will immediately... have sex."
Zong Ying said "oh" and was suddenly confused. He didn't know whether he really understood or pretended to understand.
Moreover, according to logic and personality, although there are only a few people in the side courtyard, it is only Ren Baozhong, the old dog of the party, who can say these harmful words... In fact, since Ren Baozhong said these words, the rest of the people
Not to mention, Mei Yue and Yu Yunwen, two friends from the same school, looked at each other, but they both understood it and held back a little thought.
Without him, Ren Baozhong was considered a powerful minister in Xixia. Once he was defeated, he was idle for decades. Once the officials invaded Hengshan, he surrendered directly. I'm afraid he was showing his sympathy.
Of course, it's impossible to say this in person.
However, two young men, Mei Yue and Yu Yunwen, were difficult to talk to, but some people didn't care. One of them immediately spoke without mercy. It was Lu Benzhong, a Hanlin scholar:
"People of Renshe, don't judge others by yourself! For someone like Mr. Li, even if he cares about his position, he won't go to such extent..."
"Please give me some advice from the bachelor." Ren Baozhong responded without getting angry at all.
The rest of the people knew that although Lu Benzhong was just a bachelor in the yamen, he was good at poetry and ran a good tabloid, but his politics were a mess... But everyone also knew that he had a good father... So when he opened his mouth, he was not only benevolent and loyal, but also a mess.
Even the others pricked up their ears with some seriousness.
"You only know one but not the other. For a person like Li Xianggong, the gains and losses of phase are superficial, and political evaluation is the root." Lu Benzhong looked around and talked eloquently. "In fact, just now the official and Li Xianggong
In such a situation, although there are few words, the key point has been directly mentioned, which is financial strategy... Financial strategy is the real reason why Hangzhou Lu Xianggong (Lu Yihao) replaced Li Xianggong, and it is also what the officials asked me to investigate this time.
The real reason is related to Xianggong Li’s posthumous reputation... It’s strange that he’s not angry.”
"What should I say?" Ren Baozhong couldn't urge him enough.
"What can I say?" Lu Benzhong clasped his hands and shook his head with emotion. "On that day when the official ascended the throne and Li Xianggong was in office, he built the court and cleaned up the situation, which was a great success. However, at that time, the country collapsed, there was no finance, no troops, and nothing happened.
Everyone has to deal with finance, but Li Xianggong's financial strategy is hard to describe in one sentence - whether he was in Nanjing or came to the southeast, he only had two financial methods. One was called frugality, which allowed the court to save money. This is confusing.
You can say that; the other is to ask the wealthy people in various states and counties to donate voluntarily to fill the loopholes..."
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Ren Baozhong was stunned for a moment, almost unbelievable: "Since ancient times, when people give money, they either set laws and force them with the authority of the government, or they lure them with other things like the officials did in Yangzhou. Li Xianggong also did it to be fair.
Why do people think that the country can tide over the difficulties by relying on donations from wealthy households?"
"This is the real reason why Xianggong Li resigned."
Lu Benzhong shook his head even more: "When the world collapsed, he had integrity, so he could stand out from the crowd, but when it came to doing practical things, he showed his shortcomings... In the battle of Taiyuan that day, Li Yanxian and Li Jie
He was impeached because he didn’t know how to fight. Today’s conclusion has been concluded, so I won’t say more. At that time, the court and even the officials were disappointed with him. On the one hand, he was pursuing this absurd financial strategy in Nanjing. It was obvious at a glance that it was not feasible.
Secondly, after arriving in the southeast, he still had nothing to do. At this time, he got up to clean up the salt administration and cupbearer in the southeast. He suggested collecting money and making money, and it was Lu Xianggong (Lu Yihao) at that time who set up the money... But it happened that Li
, Lu and Lu were incompatible with each other in the southeast that day, so of course the court had to make a choice!"
"No wonder Mr. Li just said that Prime Minister Lu was responsible for making money and that Yuechun money was not good. No wonder he said that he had no intention of protecting the rich, but there was a reason for it?" Zong Ying thought thoughtfully.
"Of course it's not good to make money, and it's not good to make money." Fan Zongyin, the third photographer, couldn't help but join in the conversation. "But if it hadn't been for Xianggong Lu who hastily collected 6 million in economic money in the southeast and brought it to Tokyo.
, how could there be no trouble after withdrawing the troops in Heyin? And if Yuechun money had not been set as a regular practice later, so that the southeastern part of the country was taxed 3 million yuan, and Jingxiang was given an additional 3 million shi, how could it have been possible to gather the western army and then use
Yaoshan won by a single line?! So looking back, no matter what, it was Lu Xianggong who was better than Li Xianggong... The battle between Lu and Li was determined by wealth. Li Xianggong would never think about it in his life.
Turn over."
Ren Baozhong was impressed for a moment, and Zong Ying even felt that the two bachelors, Lu and Lu, were unfathomable and worthy of being masters in the hall. Even the other silent ones, such as Yang Yizhong, Yu Yunwen, and Mei Querk, all stood up in awe for a moment.
Respect, I just feel that the three-day bachelor is treating each other with admiration... This Sanzhao bachelor has been conducting secret visits in Jiangnan for almost a month, and he has really changed his mind.
But when it comes to Bachelor Lu, I don’t know if it’s the same words Prime Minister Lu said before leaving Beijing.
However, just when the scenery in the side courtyard was unique for a moment, suddenly, a person walked out of the next courtyard quickly. When he came to the side courtyard, he waved a Chinese book in his hand and asked directly:
"Fan Zongyin! Is this your investigation?!"
Bachelor Sanzhao was shocked, and the other ministers were also shocked. However, they saw Zhao Guanjia, who had changed into casual clothes, walked closer to Bachelor Fan, pointing at the document in his hand and his anger did not diminish, causing Liu Yan and several young Ban Zhi behind him to follow hurriedly:
"I gave you a month and asked you to check a county. I even drew a form and decided on the options. How did you write it? It's about rumors and rumors... a business tax of less than 3,000 guan a year.
City, but you don’t even know who the richest family in the city is?! How on earth did you inquire this month?"
Although he knew that 80% of the official's anger was brought about by Li Gang and Li Xianggong, when facing the official's thundering anger, Fan Zongyin was also panicked and quickly bowed in response: "So that the official will know that I am
After arriving in Ningguo County, I asked someone to inquire..."
"Of course you are looking for someone to ask. Who did you ask? Why are you asking like this?"
"Of course he is a local scholar..."
Zhao Jiu was so angry that he laughed instead, but he opened the document in his hand with a smile, flipped it to a place, pinched out a piece of paper, and then asked again:
"Let's not talk about the family property and you can't find out. I want to ask you, why is there a clip at the back of this document, saying that a certain person in Xuancheng is lawless and harasses the people...Did I let you go to Xuancheng?"
"I am ashamed. It was the Xuancheng scholars who heard that I was in Ningguo and ran to speak..." Fan Zongyin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly explained.
"So, I asked you to go on a private visit, but you couldn't help but reveal your identity?" Zhao Jiu laughed harder and harder, obviously extremely angry.
Fan Zongyin completely lost his voice.
Zhao Jiu turned around and looked around. The smile and anger on his face were gone for a moment, but he was expressionless and asked coldly: "Who else has their identity exposed?"
The other people looked at each other in confusion, and then Lu Benzhong, who had just made a big splash, carefully took a step forward and bowed in salute.
Zhao Jiu was not surprised at all. He just turned around to look at Liu Yan who was chasing him and said, "Bring over Academician Lu's Gucheng Town report..."
Liu Yan did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly turned back, then hurriedly came out and presented Lu Benzhong's report.
Zhao Jiu opened it and saw a few landlords in front of him, and the fields were quite clear. But when he turned over and saw a few other pages, he caught a glimpse of one of the items, and felt a surge of anger rushing to his forehead... It took him a long time to bear it.
Stop, then gnash your teeth:
"Lu Benzhong!"
"I'm here." Lu Ben was frightened in the center, and the others also shuddered.
Among them, Zong Ying experienced this kind of thing for the first time, and he almost lost his composure and made an apology, but Ren Baozhong still had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch him.
"Let me ask you, how many bridges and ferries are there under the jurisdiction of Gucheng Town on the shores of Gucheng Lake?" Of course, Zhao Jiu didn't pay attention to the small movements over there, but seriously asked Lu Benzhong in front of him.
"Four ferries and four bridges." Lu Benzhong blurted out. "I personally counted them."
"Then why don't you write clearly, four ferries and four bridges?" Zhao Jiu felt that he was holding a breath in his heart, almost suffocating him to death. "And what do you write as 'small bridges crossing at seven or eight places'?"
Lu Benzhong did not dare to speak at all.
"Also." Zhao Jiu laughed angrily again. "Why is it written below, 'I walked out in the autumn wind on a moonlit night and walked to the small bridge by Gucheng Lake. I climbed on the bridge and looked at the light and shadow in the lake. Although it was not as good as the two
Fourteen bridges on a moonlit night, but they have a different flavor... You go to several bridges and still think about the twenty-four bridges in Yangzhou on a moonlit night, who do you want to play the flute for you?"
Not only Lu Benzhong, but also the entire side courtyard was quiet except for the sound of the autumn wind shaking the trees.
"That's it!" Zhao Jiu was so angry that he didn't bother to think about it. "I have thought about this situation before, but if the rest of the people are as romantic as these two internal controls, I will waste a month this time.
Got it!"
After saying that, the official turned around and went back to continue looking. However, when he reached the door of the side courtyard, he frowned and looked back: "Lu Benzhong, since your identity has been exposed and you have been 'going out in the autumn wind' all day and night.
Then who are the largest landowners in front of them, how many fields they have, how much taxes they pay, how many shops they have, and how they operate, but how can they be so precise...Who are you asking?"
"I'm asking about the monk." Lu Benzhong quickly explained. "There is Mingquan Temple on the bank of Gucheng Lake... I just revealed my identity to the monks in the temple and asked them to help me investigate."
Zhao Jiu's face softened a little... This is actually a method, even a very good method. The monks have a great advantage in conducting local investigations. It's no wonder that in addition to these messy words, Lu Benzhong's investigation in many places is still...
good.
However, just as Zhao Guanjia was about to nod and turn around, he remembered something again, and then asked seriously: "What about the Mingquan Temple itself? How much land is there? Have you participated in local business? How many monks are there? How many monk rooms?"
Lu Benzhong opened his mouth to speak, but was speechless.
An inch south of the Yangtze River, Zhao Guan's family just raised their heads and sighed when they saw this, but finally turned around and went back, leaving the entire courtyard uneasy.
Of course, their uneasiness was actually over-concerned. Just as the official Zhao family would not really let Li Gang suffer a bad end, it was impossible for the official family to really punish these close ministers for this matter.
After all, Zhao Jiu knew very well that in these days, it was nonsense to expect these people to come up with the "Xunwu Investigation". As for those in the side yard, including Yang Yizhong and Ren Baozhong, no one could personally follow it.
It is good enough for them to talk to farmers and ask scholars, monks and Taoists, and then they can do this.
Zhao Jiu himself was also mentally prepared.
Besides, Zhao Jiu is not qualified to punish these people for this. Not to mention anything else, he has been living in Yangzhou all day long, eating, drinking and having fun. How has he ever conducted an investigation on his own?
It's nothing more than showing off one's official prestige, assigning tasks to others, and then making a form and forcing them to fill it out...Throughout the ages, these are the only ways to avoid being a good boss.
To put it more bluntly, as an emperor, Zhao Jiu had no way of finding out the truth personally. If he couldn't trust these people, no one could trust him.
As for the evil fire he just had, it was essentially caused by his anger with Li Gang, and these reports are actually not that absurd...many things, many problems, can be reflected in the words.
What's more, as an ordinary college student who has experienced nine years of compulsory education, Zhao Jiu roughly knew the root of the problem from the beginning. Therefore, instead of looking for the problem based on the report, it is better to look for the corresponding evidence in the report:
Fan Zongyin mentioned that the evil custom of infanticide is widespread not only in Fujian, but also in the entire southeast;
As mentioned in Lu Benzhong, the proliferation of obscene cults along rivers and lakes, and the resurgence of the vegetable-eating demon sect in local areas;
Mei Qu mentioned the general integration of wealthy businessmen and landlords, temples and landlords;
As Yu Yunwen mentioned, the customs of cremation and water burial are common in the countryside;
As Yang Yizhong mentioned, from scholar-bureaucrats to the general public, there was strong dissatisfaction with Lu Yihao, Zhao Ding, and Zhang Jun in power;
Zong Ying mentioned that some rural people abandoned the wilderness and moved into the city;
Of course, it is inevitable for everyone to mention that super large landowners who charge rents of more than 500 dan are common in the towns and rural areas of the Southeast, and the burden on the people of the Southeast is indeed extremely heavy.
For three days in a row, Zhao Jiu stayed in the courtyard of the state government, neither attending any banquets nor reconciling with Li Gang. He just continued to study the report and summon, inquire and discuss with relevant ministers.
And three days later, Zhao Jiu finally erased those superficial things and brought the problem into the core issue of southeastern taxation... This is of course, not only Zhao Jiu has seen it from history books.
It is not an answer, but that all social problems will eventually be classified into this basic question.
It’s really everything, including infanticide, the proliferation of obscene rituals, the intrusion of the Vegetarian Demon Cult, the ubiquity of landlords, the popularity of water burials and cremations, and in the end, it’s all about the issues of land, population, and taxes.
Therefore, three days later, after reading the reports, Zhao Guanjia completely threw away these reports and re-listed a few words in his summary notes:
One, the rental system;
Both, the two tax laws;
Three, not limited to merger;
The fourth one is Tianpi Tiangu;
Fifth, Ding Shen Qian;
Sixth, labor.
Among them, the meaning of the zuyong system is very simple. Ren means land rent, and yong means that when people need to perform corvee service, they can complete their corvee obligations by handing over silk and silk.
This is China's basic tax system that has been widely implemented for the lower class people since the Tang Dynasty. It certainly has many problems, but its progressive significance is unquestionable...especially the 'yong', which is avoided by crossing silk and silk.
Performing basic corvées allows people to produce with peace of mind, without having to worry about delaying the busy work of farming, and their enthusiasm for production is also greatly improved.
Therefore, no matter how many problems there are in the rental system, they cannot offset his enthusiasm.
Next came the Two Taxes Law, which was also a reform result of the Tang Dynasty and was also a good policy.
When talking about the Two Taxes Law, we need to first understand a concept, that is, in the feudal era, the common people of any country had no ability to resist when facing the government. Every time those government officials came down to come into contact with the common people, they would cause great harm.
Destruction... Even if they are here to implement good governance, they will cause harm every time they come into contact with them.
Are you here to collect taxes and grain? Don't you want to extort money? Don't you want to kill a chicken for entertainment? Don't you want to fall in love with your beautiful daughter? The local scoundrels who have connections with the government will not take the opportunity to annex those acres of your family.
Good for a vegetable garden?
As for the Two Tax Law, to put it bluntly, all taxes are calculated in a unified manner. Collection work is only conducted once in summer and autumn each year. This greatly reduces the degree of harassment of ordinary people by official officials, and can also allocate production materials on an annual basis.
There is no need to be nervous every day and every month.
So, of course it is good governance.
As for Zhao Jiu himself, who used temples and merchants to engage in youth loans on behalf of the government, he essentially had a similar idea... No matter how good the idea is, if it is implemented by officials and the government who hold power, it will quickly turn into bad governance. This is not the case in feudalism.
There are no surprises in the times... Although monks and wealthy businessmen can also ruin the situation, they are still much better than the feudal government.
Even, according to Taira Kiyomori of the Red Heart Team, there was a similar system in Japan hundreds of years ago, which was to lend money to the common people during the lean years... What was the result? The result was that the dignitaries took the opportunity to force the common people to collect the loans, and then used the interest to make money.
Areas were plundered and annexed. As a result, the land grant system with Japanese characteristics was destroyed, the manor economy completely emerged, and the samurai class was born.
So, if the rent-for-profit system and the two-tax law are basic good policies that have stood the test of time and must be adhered to, the remaining four are the real problems.
Article 3 Needless to say... The Song Dynasty allowed mergers and acquisitions, and mergers were legal and compliant.
Article 4, that is, the issue of farm skin and farm bones, is the vicious boycott taken by the big landowners in order to evade this tax after the imperial court announced an additional tax on land last year.
To put it simply, the landlord actually annexed the land of the surrounding people and collected the rent. However, in order to pay less tax, he used the contract to nominally leave the land with the people, thus depriving the court of the money he should have borne.
Taxes were transferred to tenant farmers.
Article 5: Needless to say, the Ding family tax is the population tax. No matter how much land your family has, you will have to pay it if you are an adult.
Sixth, it is another disguised form of population tax... Of course, most of the service can be dispensed with under the levy system, but the service itself is converted into a tax on silk. In other words, labor service still exists, and it is just a tax.
.
And what is the basis for labor service? Or Dingkou.
What's more, in addition to traditional labor, there are always other types of labor that must be done by people... such as the infamous Yaqian Lizheng system in the Song Dynasty.
Yaqian asks you to take care of public property, but in fact, the public property is not emptied by the officials? Therefore, Yaqian is reduced to an act of robbery that actually forces the people to replenish the official property.
Li Zheng is similar to Li Zheng. For the convenience of collecting taxes, Li Zheng designates a household as Li Zheng and acts as a kind of tax collector.
However, when big families become tax collectors, they can take advantage of the opportunity to rob them. Ordinary people take this job, but they dare not go to the real powerful families to collect taxes. What's more, there are also poor people who really cannot afford to pay taxes. As a result, they become liars.
The common people who are doing this are having to use their property to make up for the tax... which is basically equivalent to open robbery.
All in all, if you give a small amount of money, the rich will inevitably get richer and the poor will get poorer. However, the richer the richer, the more powerful they will be, and the less likely they will be exploited. On the contrary, the poor will become poorer, and the burden will not be relieved at all.
For example, in the matter of infanticide, the logic is very simple. The family only has so much land and property, but as long as the children grow up, they will have to bear the corresponding population tax and labor tax (silk)...The result is that the poor cannot afford to raise their children, and they cannot
If you dare to raise children, they will drown as soon as there are too many.
This is especially true on Fujian Road, where there are many people and little land. Infanticide has become a basic custom there. Hu Yin almost drowned in this way. However, although the prosperous Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan East Road are less, they are still the same.
There are indispensable things like this.
This is where things come together. Infanticide is not a bad custom. Fujian people are not born to be notorious. It is a matter of conflicts between man and land and taxation. The same is true for cremation and water burial. It is to save land for farming and for obscene worship.
, the Vegetable-eating Demon Cult is still like this, it is the grassroots losing confidence in the government, and it is the result of the government's failure to govern the grassroots.
China has had this problem since ancient times...the farmers at the bottom are responsible for everything, but no one looks at them.
This was the prosperous age of the Song Dynasty that lasted for more than a hundred years, and it was also an issue that Zhao Jiu had considered for a long time before his trip to the southeast... He was already mentally prepared when he came here. He just asked his ministers to do the investigation, and he
It will only become more profound after the analysis.
Just like that, two days later, Zhao Guanjia, who had not even stepped out of Taiping Prefecture, erased those six words and re-wrote them into two simple words:
One is merger;
The second is Ding Fu.
This is connected with the textbooks I studied in those years.
Shortly after writing these two words, Zhao Jiu hesitated for a moment, then tore them out, and then wrote down the two words that had been lingering in his mind in the notebook again:
One saying is, prosperity breeds prosperity and wealth, never add wealth;
On the second day, spread the small pieces into the acres.
Two words, two pieces of paper, Zhao Guanjia once again fell into the dilemma of choice.
However, just when the official was hesitant, Li Gang finally came to see him. After the official crossed the river, he let the Southeast scholar-officials go, but stayed in his state capital for six or seven days without saying a word.
At the same time, more and more scholar-bureaucrats, including those from Huaihe, Jiangdong, and Fujian, had gradually gathered in Zhejiang and Zhejiang. He could not bear the pressure from above, below, left, and right.
Therefore, I would like to ask Zhao Guanjia to travel eastward to Zhejiang and Zhejiang to fulfill his commitment to the "political symposium".
In this regard, Zhao Jiu, who had never made up his mind, knew that he could not delay, but after sighing, he put the two pieces of paper together, and then set off eastward, but ordered Li Gang to accompany him.
On the second day of October, the imperial commander arrived in Jinling and gathered Liu Qi's troops.
On the eighth day of October, the royal chariot arrived in Suzhou and was greeted by the city. Zhao Guan's family immediately issued a formal decree here to convene the scholar-bureaucrats from the southeast around Hangzhou to discuss politics at the end of this month. Moreover, in addition to the current and retired officials with good rank and salary,
In addition to students and scholars, regardless of monks and laymen, regardless of businessmen and common people, regardless of whether Lianghuai, Liangzhejiang, Liangjiang, or Fujian belong to, but if they want to advance, regardless of documents or oral complaints, they can go to the imperial court and say a word... After the clear edict was spread, Southeast
Finally, the situation started to boil again. Scholars and people from all over the country rushed to report and gathered in Suzhou and Hangzhou. By the time Zhao Guan's family's honor guard left Suzhou, there were no fewer than hundreds of southeastern scholars accompanying him on donkeys and carriages.
On October 15th, due to the unexpected rain, the royal chariot arrived in Hangzhou later. Immediately, Zhao Guan's family met with Lu Yihao and Xianggong Lu for a secret meeting. In the next few days, more than a thousand scholars gathered inside and outside Hangzhou.
On October 19th, the final decree was officially announced. Zhao Guanjia, Lu Xianggong, and the second bachelor of Fan Lu will jointly make the system. Starting from October 25th, corresponding symposiums will be held by the West Lake for five consecutive days.
, the internal affairs department will work on-site. If the agreement is reached, an edict will be issued on the spot to complete the government order.
For a time, the southeast was boiling three times.
On October 22nd, with the arrival of Xu Jingheng and Mr. Xu, the Zhao Guan family finally remembered something, but they took three of their husbands, Lu, Li, and Xu, to Dongxiao Palace to visit Emperor Taishang Yuansheng... The two brothers met,
