Chapter 1375: Winning People's Hearts (I)
The father-in-law of Xiaoshengzi asked Yang Huairen for instructions on this matter, and Yang Huairen felt that since he let Xiaoshengzi temporarily act as a transfer envoy, he didn't have to care about how he made Caoyun run smoothly.
The gray income of the public in the yamen must be indispensable, everyone has to support their families, and everyone hopes to live a better life.
Therefore, Yang Huairen only said that there is no doubt about employing people, and not suspecting people, so he made Xiaoshengzi grateful.
The rules of survival are different in every industry, but there is no need to destroy it because it is not visible, it seems to be a blatant private small treasury of the yamen, exploiting the coolies and workers on the docks.
But if you don't, it's easy to get messy, and there's no need to make these people work or be anxious.
Such a big thing happened, the next most important thing is naturally to maintain stability, Yangzhou City naturally depends on the Yangzhou prefect, and Caoyun naturally depends on Caoyun Yamen and people from all walks of life on the dock.
……
Another day passed, and Tianba's younger brother asked, "Brother, the matter is over, shouldn't we go to Hangzhou-Zhou?" What are you doing here in Yangzhou? ”
Yang Huairen smiled, "Wait for someone." ”
Brother Tianba's face was puzzled, "Who are you waiting for?" ”
Yang Huairen pointed to the door, "People have come." ”
Tianba's younger brother looked out of the door, and there were indeed a few people here, dressed in dark green or crimson official robes, and respectfully presented greetings to the soldiers on duty.
Dozens of prayer posts were sent to Yang Huairen, Yang Huairen didn't bother to read them, but the younger brother of Tianba suddenly understood what was going on, and said in surprise, "Hey, there are so many, more than the people recorded in the ledger." ”
Yang Huairen said, "Zhao Xianqiu's account book is naturally recorded by those officials who have been raised for a long time, and these people are at least the real power officials in one state and one county in Jiangnan.
As for those small ones, I believe that Zhao Xianqiu is too lazy to record, and occasionally once or twice, it is estimated that he will not remember them.
But now that Zhao Xianqiu has an accident, no matter who it is, anyone who has received the benefits of Zhao Xianqiu, I can't help but worry that we will continue to investigate.
The day before yesterday in the Tucui Building, those few ledgers were thrown on the ground, and the shock was great. ”
Brother Tianba smiled thoughtfully, "Then does my brother want to see them now?" ”
Yang Huairen shook his head and continued to drink tea leisurely slowly, "Don't worry, let them be anxious for a while." They were very happy when they received the money at the time, and now they can't make it so easy for them to pay it back. ”
"What do you mean, brother, I don't plan to punish them?"
Brother Tianba quickly understood Yang Huairen's intentions, if Yang Huairen really wanted to hold each of them responsible, he would have sent someone to arrest someone a long time ago, and he would not wait for them to come to the door automatically.
But Yang Huairen did not do this, but stayed in Yangzhou and waited for them to automatically send the money back, which means that they did not intend to pursue their responsibility to collect money from Zhao Xianqiu.
Yang Huairen said, "If you change somewhere else, you deserve to slaughter these rabbit cubs, but it's not appropriate to do so right now."
In the area south of the Yangtze River, two years ago, because of the sale of officials by the king of Nanyang County, a group of officials have just been replaced, and if all their official positions are really removed according to the law, then Jiangnan will have to change a large number of people.
Do you remember what we came to Jiangnan for? It was to escape the battle in the court that he left Beijing, and it was through the illness of Princess Anguo that he finally came to such a good place in Jiangnan.
Remember, we are here to find a doctor for Princess Anguo, and the imperial errand is just by the way, whether it is the official family or the court, they will not really take me, the imperial messenger, seriously.
If they are all rectified in a drastic way, I am afraid that on the side of the official family and the imperial court, we will also gossip.
It's just that Zhao Xianqiu did some things too desperately and annoyed me, so I made up my mind to get rid of him.
In addition to Zhao Xianqiu, on the one hand, it is for the interests of the people, on the other hand, it is also for myself, Jiangnan is a good place, and the Grand Canal is the economic lifeblood of the Great Song Dynasty.
Such an important place, such an important lifeline, but in the hands of a eunuch, I will not be comfortable, even if Zhao Xianqiu didn't do those evil things, I have to find a way to control him, if he refuses, there is only except him.
It's not that my brother is selfish, it's that my brother has to do this, Jiangnan is too important to me, and if I want to start a business, I can't help but control Jiangnan.
It's the same with Cen Xiaonian's side, if he is obedient, then keep him and win him over, and if he is disobedient, he must also be let die.
The magistrates outside, to put it bluntly, are a group of scholars, and they are different from eunuchs. Eunuch greed always has a psychological twist in it, and when they get crazy, it's easy to do unbelievable things.
But these people are different, they are pedantic, greedy, and lustful, but they are just stupid and rigid, and they still have a common denominator in this era of the rise of science.
They are in the same stream as Zhao Xianqiu, some of them have lost themselves because of desire, and some may have been forced to be helpless.
Of course, this is not the reason why I want to forgive them, the real reason is that I think that even if they are all punished, and a group of officials from the court come over, within a year or two, the new arrivals will become like them again.
People will always change with the environment, when they are poor, when they are rich, when they are studying, and when they become officials.
Outside the door, who didn't have great ambitions, passed the rigorous imperial examination, and then entered the ranks?
But now? Think of their vows to serve the country for the sake of the name, and they were thrown away in the days when they were different and lustful?
What if they were replaced? Are the newcomers different from them? Since there is no difference, then I still have to work hard to sing blackface, is it useful?
Since people like Zhao Xianqiu can control them, why can't my brother? As long as our goal is achieved, it makes no difference to us who is the magistrate.
So I not only don't rectify them, but also use special means to win them over, let them be used by me, with our supervision, they will not do too much, and the people will be less bullied, why not? ”
Tianba's younger brother didn't seem to understand it, but he trusted Yang Huairen, no matter what Yang Huairen did as an elder brother, he would unswervingly support him.
Yang Huairen also knew that the younger brother of Tianba might not understand too much, and it felt a bit like he had convinced himself.
He smiled and ordered, "Tianba, you don't have to bother thinking about it, just be yourself." By the way, send one hundred and eighty soldiers of the forbidden army to stand at the door, the knives out of their sheaths, and the guns polished, to scare and scare these bunnies. ”
