Chapter 187: Talking to the Old Thing
"What's wrong?" Gao Fangping said in amazement. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"A few days ago, the concubine had no eyes and flirted with a handsome boy in the market, and later learned that he was the nephew of Shi Yan, the current servant of the ministry, Shi Wenbin's Yanei, and Shi Jingjie, the Tai student, ......" Jiang Wen said with an extremely embarrassed look: "At that time, he was snatched back by the concubine, and accidentally found the waist card, and then quickly apologized and let him go, I don't know if it will be a big disaster, and the adults have to help with it?" ”
I'm #¥
Gao Fangping squirted out a sip of tea, damn this Jiang Yu-sister is too presumptuous, she actually dares to push the official man, Shi Jingjie's little fresh meat almost encountered her poisonous hands?
Jiang Wen said pitifully: "Without the care of adults, the concubines will be caught by them sooner or later and taken to Shentang, and there will be no one to make money for adults to fight the world." Why don't you leave me alone, do you? In fact, the concubine is just a little lustful, not bad, and she really doesn't plan to hurt that handsome boy. ”
Gao Fangping stroked his chest and calmed down: "Losers...... Damn, Fu'an is not as angry as you, and sooner or later I will be in the hands of your group of scourges? Sooner or later the blacklist of the Clear Stream Party! You're going to fight people? Say important things three times, spend money, bring brains, always learn to solve problems with money and brains in everything, don't fucking use fists and ass. Calculate that you met Shi Jingjie, that grandson likes to be treated like this the most, if you really meet those schools of science, as soon as they complain, you have been arrested by Lao Chang and sent to Shentang. ”
"I'll carry it for you this time, and if there is such a thing in the future, I'll arrest you and take you to the streets."
After Gao Fangping finished the order, he fled with Liang Hongying, he really didn't dare to chat with her Jiang Wen, I don't know how many egg pains will be if we continue to chat, she is simply a female version of Wang Ying. Damn, people like her may have mixed up a thousand years later, because modern China does not say anything about women's forcible rape-sin, but in the Great Song Dynasty, it will really sink into the pond.
It's also strange, why did Shi Jingjie's grandson skip school and come to Mengzhou, could it be that he was just passing by and asked for leave to visit his father in Jeju......
When the famous general Cao Zhong entered the city with a group of cowards, he dragged 2580,000 and carried the heads of many thieves with the barrel of a gun as a deterrent.
Since the people in the city have something to eat, they all hate the bandits, and when they heard that one of the bandits had been exterminated, the people rejoiced. In particular, the big families in Mengzhou were most afraid of bandits, and after learning the news, they took their families to set off firecrackers at the city gate to welcome the return of the famous general Cao Zhong.
"The villagers are too polite, wahaha, Ben will suppress bandits under his rule, and it is his duty to protect the people. Cao Zhong clenched his fists at the people.
The accompanying Lao Chang didn't want to interfere with Cao Zhong, and smiled a little bitterly at this, no matter how Cao Zhong looked at it, he was a big mallet, but the official reputation of this mallet was not bad, in line with the principle of safety first, he pretended to be forced with a smile in front of the people all day long. Then, although he was instigated, he was especially ruthless to his subordinates, and the incident of harassment of the people by the soldiers of the Prison Department was the least in the past, much better than in the Zhang Mengfang period.
In addition, no matter how stupid he was, he always exterminated Erlong Mountain. Although it is said that Gao Fangping's cool official acts as the executioner, no matter what, being able to have a good relationship with Xiao Gao and ask Xiao Gao to help under Mengzhou is also a kind of chance and luck for him Cao Bangga, which is also a kind of strength.
"Hey, the old man is really speechless about these scum who have brought disaster to the country and the people, let them go."
Seeing that most of the people were fooled by General Cao, Lao Chang didn't feel bad, sighed, and left with Chen Zhirong, a retired official who came to greet him.
The two poor sour walked in the street, and the magistrate Chen Zhirong hugged his fists and said: "Mingfu, Gao Fangping and Cao Zhong's two mallets are too disagreeable, if you don't want to cure them, my Mengzhou is too shameless." That's not how they did it. ”
"I think too much, but I think too much. In my court, this virtue, counting, scum like Gao Fangping and Cao Zhong are not the most annoying, no matter what, the two bastards exterminated Erlong Mountain, protected the order and peace of Mengzhou, and gave the rest of the cottages a deterrent, which is a fact, which cannot be denied. Lao Chang sighed.
Chen Zhirong was about to say something more, but he waved his hand to stop: "Shut up, last time you were swollen by that little rascal, it is understandable that you have a grudge against him, but this matter is like this, what can you expect me to do to him, he is not the old man's subordinate." Hey, Shi Wenbin must have been sad in Jeju, he has a headache with such a demon under his command. ”
Chen Zhirong said with a domineering look: "The Ming Mansion is mistaken!" Gao Fangping couldn't hurt me at all, last time, I accidentally hit the wall when I got up at night. ”
"You're a big mallet, too! Go to the post house and summon Gao Fangping to see the old man. Lao Chang sprayed his face and walked away......
Theoretically, Gao Fangping should have escaped, but he still had to wait for Cao Zhong's kid's dinner. Xiao Cao is still quite righteous, although the price has been set, but in terms of his virtue, he usually pays homage at the dinner, which is at least two thousand yuan, so he has to wait.
But Cao Zhong didn't come, Chen Zhirong's guy came.
"Kochijun is invited." Lao Chen came close and casually bowed his hand.
As a result, Gao Fangping hid behind Liang Hongying and Shi Wengong with a weak heart to observe whether he was aggressive.
"What are you afraid of, Kochi Junnai thinks too much, this official will not hurt you at will." Chen Zhirong said.
"Damn, I carried your black pot last time, and it's clear that you're an old boy who is a scoundrel, and you can't beat it and actually spit. Then in Tokyo it was rumored that I was a scoundrel and won you by sprinkling lime. Gao Fangping said.
Liang Hongying and Shi Wengong couldn't help but look at each other, and expressed their understanding of the world of these two young people.
"Don't talk nonsense, Lord Zhizhou summons me, come with me." Chen Zhirong said.
"Then, the lower officer warns you first, if I am attacked by saliva, it will be regarded as a threat to the commander of the army, and I will act in a hurry, but it will hurt people?" Gao Fangping Road.
"You can't hurt me!" Lao Chen has gone crazy and will always say so......
Entering the back hall of the state government, he often has a green shirt, and he doesn't look as good as Zhang Shuye and Zhang Shangying, but he is also very good.
Putting down the scroll in his hand, Chang Wei turned his head to look at Chen Zhirong and Gao Fangping, and saw that no one's face was swollen, so he said with satisfaction: "Chen Zhirong stepped down, the old man hasn't seen Xiao Gao for a long time, and he has something to talk about carefully." ”
"Ming Fu, be careful of this person, he is very treacherous and shameless." Chen Zhirong reminded.
"Don't worry, he can't pit the old man."
After Chen Zhirong disappeared, Lao Chang twisted his beard and smiled: "Xiao Gao." ”
"The lower official is here." Gao Fangping bowed his head in a regular manner.
"I heard that your kid is doing well in Yun 1 City, the old man thinks it's very good, and some experience is worth learning. So the old man wanted to talk to you. Chang Weiwen crepe.
"Ming Gong is too polite." Gao Fangping began to do tai chi.
"Hiding smuggling, huh?" Chang Wei thought for a while and said, "The old man is a little strange, I heard that Erlongshan is not a bandit, and there are many women, children and children as accompanying family members, why didn't Cao Zhong catch any of them this time?" Tell the old man, where did the women and children go? ”
"Uh, this ......," Gao Fangping began to scratch his head.
Chang Wei smiled: "To be bold, the old man doesn't want to worry about this, but wants to discuss a possibility with you." Why do you think there are so many runaways? It not only affected the taxes and fees of the imperial court, but also increased the difficulty of the government? ”
Gao Fangping took a sip of tea and said, "Ming Gong, knowledge costs money." ”
Lao Chang thought for a moment and said: "It's your style to know the real price, that's fine." After a pause, Chang Wei said with a smile: "The old man heard that Jiang Wen under your command did not abide by women's morals a while ago, and the dogs on the street fought against the people and robbed the official men, and the old man planned to catch her in the pig cage to correct my Mengzhou atmosphere, what do you think?" ”
Gao Fangping's face was black, and he said with a headache: "The lower officials are worried about Mengzhou's rule, let's talk about the problem of escaping." ”
"The son can be taught, the old man listens." Chang Wei twisted his beard and said.
Gao Fangping said: "There are many factors that form escaping. There are really bitter households who can't get by, which doesn't mean that your government is unstable, in fact, the root is still in the imperial court. Salt, iron, wine and tea are franchises, and three of them may have their own reasons for the times, not to mention, but the salt tax is too heavy, which is a necessity for the common people, and it is actually Cai Jing's move to solve the military budget and thus bring disaster to the country and the people. In cooperation with the implementation of the old errand law, the burden on the common people is too heavy, and this is the root cause. ”
After a pause, he said: "In addition, my government has always been cowardly, and I have never been keen on suppressing bandits, and even in order to stabilize the excess, there have been too many precedents of compromising with bandits. The fact that the Xiang army is so bloated is one of the products of compromise. What's more, taking the anti-thief Zhao'an as a precedent for officials has increased the people's desire to get something out of their money. So if someone takes the lead, you can be a thief without paying the price, how can you not let people follow suit? The master said that human nature is inherently good, but the lower officials feel that it is simply nonsense in. This kind of heavenly thinking does not exist. ”
Chang Wei is not a pure conservative, but he is also clearly disgusted by this sub-slander of Confucianism. This kind of guy who uses Legalist thinking to cover up his identity as a cool official, the Great Song Dynasty is not nothing, such as Bao Zheng's guy, Chang Wei doesn't like it too much, his way is really a political system designed by Emperor Taizu, and it conflicts to a certain extent.
The continuation of the punishment of the Great Song Dynasty was not as good as the doctor, and the policy of "two less and one lenient in the Great Song Dynasty" of benevolent government against bandits and thieves, less killing and careful killing, was most seriously damaged by Lao Bao.
Obviously, Bao Zheng's guy doesn't understand politics and obviously can't bear a group of corrupt Confucians, so his momentum is limited, but even in this case, the Wang Ye Party is also choked by Lao Bao's people. In Lao Chang's opinion, in addition to Xiao Gao being a hooligan and not having a good character, he is the same in some aspects, and his political combat power is too strong.
Frowning and thinking for a while, Chang Wei said: "You are still young, and the old man doesn't want to discuss the issue of Confucianism and science with you. Let's talk about the salt policy, the old man thinks what you said is very reasonable, but you also know that this is the law of the country, under the premise that the official family is a money fan, and under the premise of tight finances, it is almost impossible to subvert the existing salt policy. Let's talk about the Errand Law. Wang Anshi's new errand service law, when Cai Jing assisted Wang Anshi in the implementation, he worked hardest, but he died. Cai Jing's character is not good, but in order to please the emperor and save finances, Cai Jing abolished the new errand service law, and grabbed strong men from the people to serve in everything, which not only affected the rational use of civilian labor, and the efficiency was extremely low, but also made people complain and waste the people's own main business. In the long run, it is indeed harmful to the community! ”
Gao Fangping smiled slightly, Chang Chang is a smart person, he does see a lot of things. In terms of government affairs, he is even more thorough than Zhang Shuye and others.
Gao Fangping is really not a fan of Wang Anshi, but he is also full of respect for that person.
One of the biggest ideas of the new law implemented by Lao Wang was that it was popular in later generations: the government buys private services, rather than arresting strong men.
It's a pity that this move by An Shi Xianggong was strong enough to touch the interest class at that time. In addition to the final mentality and finance of the imperial court, Cai Xiangye rebelled against Anshi's new policy, so he resurrected and restored the old law.
What is the old law?
To put it simply, the government needs to be served, but it doesn't want to pay, so just like the master catches the strong man, the mother's fast catch tolerance is to force the people to take turns on duty. Gao Fangping didn't know if it really saved money, but Gao Fangping felt that bandits were so rampant, and officials were more corrupt than officials, and this old law made half of the credit.
Because this kind of rotation on duty is an irresponsible move, the people on duty are also very unprofessional, and the rotation is fast, which belongs to the kind of "I will take care of the next flood as soon as I leave". There is no such thing as a specialization where practice makes perfect. They have no salary, they are considered to be in service, and serving does not produce the professional effect they should have, but on the contrary, it delays the main business of their own life.
So it entered a vicious circle, for example, when Mengzhou was in chaos, the poor people ran away. This is a real situation in the Great Song Dynasty, because these poor people are not professional, and they do not have enough pay to make them responsible for their positions. Then they are still people, which leads to encountering officials like Lao Chang, and if they want to deal with the responsible person afterwards, they can't find anyone to cut it.
It's not just bad people, almost everything that serves the government is a strong man. Taoist priests, monks, and scholars were exempted from military service, and large households used a combination of coercion and inducement to serve with "stand-ins". So these tasks finally fell on the fixed group of bitter people.
Wang Anshi was a man with ideas, and although the new law he implemented at that time was still very incomplete, it had already begun to provide ideas for those who came after him. If it can go on forever, the final form will be modern society: the government buys the services of the Ming Dynasty.
What makes Lao Wang respectable is that he has thoughts. Although his ideas are still far from perfect.
Professional people do professional things, which is also Gao Fangping's thoughts. For example, in the battle of Erlongshan, Gao Fangping handed over the command to Han Shizhong. This is actually the core concept of Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi is an absolutely far-sighted and black-bellied person, but he is not traitorous enough, his idea is just beginning, what he thinks is: to erase the trajectory of the old party step by step, and slowly deepen the reform.
In fact, if Lao Wang's road can be completed, he will eventually subvert Emperor Taizu's system - the separation of soldiers and generals.
The system of separating soldiers and generals can strengthen the dominance of the royal family and scholars to a certain extent, but to a certain extent, it is also an "old version of the military errand service law". The biggest obliteration of the process of professional people doing professional things. The soldier is not familiar with the general, and the soldier will not be familiar with the soldier. It is equivalent to "Gao Fangping asked his subordinates to take turns to sit in the village, and you Han Shizhong will come in this battle, Niu Gao will come, and then Yan Qing will come." It's a strange thing to and win. (To be continued.) )
