Chapter 104: Appreciation
punished Chang Wei, Xia Zhu said to Du Zhongxiao: "The camp and field affairs are booming, I originally wanted Chang Wei to learn and do a few more in other counties." But I didn't expect him to be so useless and make people laugh. Zhixian, go to the study to speak. ”
Du Zhongxiao thanked him, followed Xia Zhu to the study, and sat down.
Xia Zhu flipped through the camp and field affairs arranged by Du Zhongxiao, and asked while watching. Du Zhongxiao recorded in detail, and Xia Zhu asked more carefully, from the establishment of recruitment to the construction of open fields, all aspects were asked.
In the end, Xia Zhu nodded: "Since you have raised the affairs of the camps, the camps of the rest of the counties in Bozhou will also let you take care of them." Choose a few places in the remaining counties this winter, and you will send some competent officials to get things done. ”
Du Zhongxiao agreed one by one. This is the first time that the two have had an in-depth conversation, and Xia Zhu gave Du Zhongxiao the feeling that he was capable and familiar with handling government affairs, and he did not have the feeling that ordinary literati officials were not grounded. Of course, the arrogance of no one in his eyes and the temperament of being above and below are still clearly expressed. Everything is told to Du Zhongxiao that this is not a boss who is easy to get along with.
After chatting about the affairs of the camp and field, Du Zhongxiao asked in a low voice: "Xianggong, Chang Wei will be decided here, if the imperial court-"
Xia Zhu didn't care: "I will write to the court and ask for a few officials." This kind of minions who are not enough to achieve and more than to lose, don't kill them, keep them for what to do! If you had told me about Chang Wei's behavior in the camp earlier, and if you had gone to another person, he would not have the disaster he has today. ”
Du Zhongxiao was stunned for a moment, and had nothing to say. How did he know that Xia Zhu had such an attitude, he had known that this was the case, and driving Chang Wei back would have saved his life. I only thought that Xia Zhu would protect his shortcomings, but he didn't know that he didn't care much about the servants at home. As Xia Zhu, he lynched the slave in the family, although he violated the law, but the demotion and punishment were not painful for Xia Zhu.
Xia Zhu saw that Du Zhongxiao was cautious, down-to-earth, and indeed managed the camp and field affairs beautifully, and he was a little talented. asked: "When you go to Renzhi County in Yongcheng, the most important thing you do is to build a camp and do field work." Let me ask you, what are the benefits to the local area if the camp is well built. ”
Du Zhongxiao was speechless for a while, and said in his heart that after he became the governor of the county, he obviously didn't spend much energy on the camp and field, why did Xia Zhu think so? This boss is really a bit stubborn, he thinks that if things are like this, then they must be like this, regardless of what the matter is. When he arrived in Bozhou, Xia Zhu took a fancy to Du Zhongxiao's management of the camp at a glance, and he had no intention of ignoring other things.
After thinking for a while and sorting out his thoughts, Du Zhongxiao said: "Back to Xianggong, I think that there are so many benefits to camp and field affairs. The first is to reclaim wasteland, attract households, and prosper the region. When a local population is established, not only farming, but also other industrial and commercial industries can develop. Another camp is owned by the government, and the grain collected and the money earned can be used to enrich the local government treasury. With money in hand, the government can build bridges and pave roads in the local area for the benefit of the people. They even built canals and irrigated the fields, turning barren land into fertile land. In addition, the camp and field affairs are owned by the government, and the law of protecting the army can be carried out according to the system in the army, so that local thieves will not be exposed. ”
Xia Zhu slapped the table: "Well said!" The most important thing is the last one, all the camp and field affairs of the government, without landlords, the law of protecting the army is the cheapest. The people are organized into an army, and the peasants are taught and read, and if they are trained properly, they can ensure local tranquility. Nowadays, the imperial court is struggling with money and food, and the difficulty lies in raising the army. If the law of protecting the military and the people is implemented, countless money can be saved. This is a good way to govern the world, and you are right! ”
Du Zhongxiao frowned, and arched his hand: "What Xianggong said is true." ”
In fact, Du Zhongxiao felt that his thoughts always did not match Xia Zhu's thoughts. Du Zhongxiao was most concerned about the role of economic development, and the agricultural surplus in these areas was no longer distributed by the landlords, but was always controlled by the government. With the funds in the hands of the government, it can concentrate on the development of industry and commerce and the construction of infrastructure, thus forming a virtuous circle. Xia Zhu had no idea about this at all, what he had always valued was that the organizational form of the camp was conducive to the implementation of the armor protection law. The local government implemented the armor protection law to accommodate the army and the people, thereby reducing military expenditures.
In the final analysis, Xia Zhu still focuses on how to reduce expenses, while Du Zhongxiao focuses on how to increase income. It's just that there is a huge disparity in the status of the two, and Du Zhongxiao can only echo what Xia Zhu said, anyway, the camp field affairs are indeed conducive to the implementation of the armor protection law.
Xia Zhu was still unsatisfied, and said to Du Zhongxiao: "The most difficult thing in today's government is money and grain, and seven or eight out of ten of the money and grain are used to raise the army. The northwest was in turmoil, and the forbidden army was no less than one million, and it was difficult to support the wealth of the world. This is the number one event in the world. The Baowu Law is the first good way to remedy this evil. It's just that the implementation of Baowu in the local area will inevitably have the disadvantages of disturbing the people and delaying the agricultural time. If you set up camps and farm affairs, farm together, harvest together, and the farming and leisure are all up to the yamen, then there will be no such drawbacks. When you go back this time, you should work this matter, and let the battalion and field affairs be organized into township soldiers, and teach and read them regularly, which is a great achievement. I tried to figure out a way to do this in the northwest, but I didn't expect it to be done by you here. ”
Du Zhongxiao said yes. In his impression, the township soldiers are roughly equivalent to the militia in his previous life, and can only be a supplement to military strength. If the military wants to become stronger, it is still necessary to find a way to do it in the regular army, and it is not advisable to develop the militia as an opportunistic method. However, Xia Zhu's ideas are the mainstream of this era, and Du Zhongxiao is an official under him, so he can only do what he says.
The more Xia Zhu spoke, the more excited he became: "If you can train as a township soldier in the camp and field, the patrol village in Yongcheng can be moved to other places, or even reduce the number of soldiers." This matter is done, and I ask the court for credit for you. ”
Du Zhongxiao arched his hand: "The humble duty must live up to the expectations of the public." ”
Du Zhongxiao's role in Yongcheng Xia Zhu saw it in his eyes and knew that he was a capable person. I used to worry that Du Zhongxiao had different ideas from myself, so I thought of sending Chang Wei and other people to learn. When Chang Wei messed things up, he suddenly found that Du Zhongxiao was actually very obedient, and there was no problem with the arrogance of the young jinshi. was relaxed in his heart, and kept instilling in Du Zhongxiao the idea of governing the place.
Du Zhongxiao only spoke loudly, and he didn't distinguish from Xia Zhu. In this era, one's own ideas are destined to be niche, and there is no point in arguing, let alone arguing with the boss. Zhixian is a subordinate of Zhizhou, his authority is limited, and he actually has no right to decide how the local development is, Du Zhongxiao can only cooperate with Xia Zhu's thinking. Only when he sits in the position of Zhizhou can he govern the place according to his own ideas.
When Xia Zhu arrived in Bozhou, one of the most important ideas was to protect the military law and realize the use of soldiers in the people. All his governance revolves around this.
Bidding farewell to Xia Zhu, Du Zhongxiao took Chai Xin and others out of Bozhou City, crossed the Buli River, looked at the endless wilderness, and was a little dazed for a while. I didn't expect that this would be the result of betting Chang Wei into the city this time. Before coming, I thought about how I would deal with Xia Zhu if he protected the slaves, but I didn't expect that Xia Zhu would beat Chang Wei to death without saying a word. Xia Zhu can go from a small master book to a position than a ruler, and he is by no means a mediocre person. However, after dealing with Chang Wei, he was appreciated by Xia Zhu, which made Du Zhongxiao a little overwhelmed.
If he follows Xia Zhu's train of thought, Du Zhongxiao may be appreciated by him, but he will also do nothing. When the county magistrate is in office, he will lose a lot of opportunities to learn and exercise. Du Zhongxiao sighed, thinking about it, he could only try to do a good job in the things arranged by Xia Zhu, and on this basis, he practiced some of his own ideas to pave the way for his future career.
