Chapter 107: Helplessness and Mud

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping asked Liu Xin and Zheng Jian: "A few days ago, have you heard of what I encountered in Heyin County?" There is something to learn from the disposal there. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

Zheng Jian said: "I have heard a little. However, Xia Guan doesn't think there is anything to learn from! ”

Xu Ping looked at Zheng Jian, and said in his heart, this later life, his temperament is too straight, and it is no wonder that he is in his forties before he can be judged by the Salt and Iron Division. In the second year of Tiansheng, Zheng Jian was the third in the first class of Jinshi, look at the Song Qi and Song Zhen brothers in the same class, and look at Ye Qingchen, which one is not better than him? Even Han Qi in the next session is about to catch up with him. Even his brother-in-law, Fan Zhongyan, who is known for his integrity and outspokenness, is better than him.

Zheng Jian's meaning, no matter what Xu Ping did in Heyin County, the imperial court is now sending people to investigate, don't mention it until there is no result. Who knows if Fan Zhongyan and Sima Chi will come back and will give Xu Ping'an a crime.

This is directly choked in front of the boss, where has the experience of being an official for more than ten years gone?

Liu Xin saw that Xu Ping's face was not good-looking, and hurriedly said: "What the deputy envoy means, is it to learn from Heyin County and let the craftsmen in the field take care of these small shops and shops by themselves?" I'm afraid it's not that easy. ”

"Do you always try to do things step by step, and if you do it with your heart, there will always be good results. The people's association has been recorded since the Zhou Dynasty, and the origin is very early, the so-called Sheji, the foundation of the country. It's just that at that time, the society was run by the imperial court, and the people participated, and it was for the commune. In the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, time changed, most of the communes fell into decline, and private societies rose. Today, only the legacy of the Spring and Autumn Societies remains, and it is rare to see the public and private societies that helped each other in the past. ”

Scholars require general history to be knowledgeable about the past and the present, and it is still useful to talk about the truth. It is no wonder that the Chinese like to reform the Togu system as soon as they talk about reform, because this Togu is very knowledgeable and can fit almost anything into it. Xu Ping started a cooperative in Heyin County, and when he had free time, he studied the ancient and modern changes of the cooperative, which was really eye-opening.

The Zhou Dynasty opened the country and occupied a vast territory, but there were not many people, and the feudal system was implemented. The princes of the states were the core districts, while in the rural areas there was a commune system. Of course, the shrine at that time was not virtual, it was a part of the shrine sacrifice, and there was really a place for sacrifice. The people who joined the society helped each other and opened up the wilderness, which was an important part of the two weeks and eight hundred years.

By the time of the Han Dynasty, there was little room for development in the Central Plains, and the local area turned into internal strife, and the political system also changed dramatically, with the demise of communes and the rise of private societies. After that, there were local haoqiang and wang clans, and the clan society gradually replaced the public and private form of society, until the Sui and Tang dynasties. From this point of view, the history of the development of the society is the history of the development of China's rural areas.

Entering the Song Dynasty, the powerful and powerful clans were swept away again, the wind was always blown away by the rain and wind, and the clans based on the clan society had also disappeared, and the rural management actually entered a vacuum period. At this time, various private societies sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. There are various names for those who farm the land, such as the cattle club, the horse club, and the canal club, and the class club, book club, and economic club for the readers, which are also varied. In contrast, the name of Xu Pingding's cooperative is a bit nondescript, and in fact, before he left, the locals themselves had already changed it to the Niu Society, the Tian Society, and the Cellar Society.

The reason why later generations have the word society is because in ancient China, in addition to the political organization, the life of the people was closely related to the society and society. A person's life is inevitably to deal with society.

In the past, he used the knowledge of cooperatives in his previous life to use in this era, Xu Ping was still a little uneasy in his heart, worried that others would not understand, and that he would not adapt to the water and soil. Now that I understand this knowledge, looking back, I can almost find a shadow in Chinese history, after all, is it still a Tuogu reform!

How many people can really start a new set? Xu Ping didn't play the Togu reform in his previous life, and the reform is not the same as the Toyang reform, what is the difference in his bones? It's just that at that time, there were more people who believed in foreigners than in ancient people.

Zheng Jian didn't have the patience to listen to this, what he wanted to know was very simple, whether he could do it or not with those people on the list. has worked under Xu Ping for nearly a year, it is rare that Xu Ping is the boss that Zheng Jian can look at, if Xu Ping says to suppress the matter, Zheng Jian will do the same, but he will adjust his impression of Xu Ping to the next level in his heart.

Seeing that Zheng Jian didn't speak with a dark face, Liu Xin said: "What does the deputy envoy mean, is it to change those small shops and shops into a company?" ”

"Yes, only in this way, everything is in the hands of the craftsmen themselves, so that the powerful can not reach out."

Liu Xin listened to Xu Ping's words, and saw that Zheng Jian on the side didn't say a word, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Since this is the case, the deputy envoy will say a charter, and the three of us will go back and consider it." ”

"I'll say a few basics, and you can go back and add to the rest, and list the regulations for me to see. The first is that those who join the company are voluntary, and those who come do not refuse, and those who go do not chase them. The second is that these small shops and shops are not for profit, but only to see if they can facilitate the life of craftsmen. The third is that the selling price of the items in these stores is based on the normal selling price of the outside store, and people can buy things from this place regardless of whether they join the company or not. Fourth, the monthly or quarterly settlement is also possible, and of course it is also possible to distribute the profits according to the amount of money spent by the people who join the company to buy goods in these stores. In particular, it should be noted that the principal of the store should be left behind, and the interest should be distributed according to the principle that those who buy more get more, and those who buy less get less. Other expenses, such as the capital paid at the time of joining the company, and the number of people, cannot be used as the basis for the distribution of profits. This is the only way to make these small shops truly convenient for local artisans. Finally, the government supervised the tax-exempt calculation of these small shops and shops. ”

When Zheng Jian heard this, he couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Deputy envoy, what should we do with these powerful people who stretched out their hands before?" ”

Xu Ping looked at Zheng Jian and smiled: "Tianxiu, you remember, you are in charge of Gouyuan." It is your duty to arrest these people and sort out the accounts of the three divisions. But it is not your responsibility to catch the offender and sentence the offender. Wait for the three of you to sort out the regulations I just mentioned, and report this list along with the regulations, and make things clear. As for how the imperial court deals with these people, it's not up to us, we just need to cut off the hand that stretched out to the third division. ”

Zheng Jian was silent, what Xu Ping said made sense, he had his own responsibilities and should not overstep his duties. But when I think about it, I feel unwilling in my heart, which is equivalent to doing things hard, but the credit is not in my hands. In Zheng Jian's eyes, credit is still a trivial matter, and he still has an indescribable charm for arresting people and sentencing the powerful.

Guo Jian didn't say a word from beginning to end, the few cases he managed did not involve these, and his identity was also far from Liu Xin and Zheng Jian. It is not the same as the Jinshi follow-up scholar, one is to look at the ranking of the palace examination, and the other is whether there are competent people in the court to support it. Guo Jian didn't have either, so he lacked the sharpness of Liu Xin and Zheng Jian.

Xu Ping also has no choice, the hand of the third division does not dare to stretch out anymore, if even the three divisions of the people involved in the case of the third division are arrested, they will encounter great rebound. Now more than sixty percent of the affairs in the court are here in the third division, and if he takes care of things that shouldn't be managed, Xu Pingxian gives people the impression of being greedy for power.

How to deal with the people on the list is a small matter, and how to establish a system to prevent things from happening is a big matter. Sending the list to the political affairs hall is very likely to be a big thing and a small thing, Xu Ping naturally knows it. But in this way, the deacons will not talk much when the three divisions make a system, which can be regarded as an exchange.

The more things you do and the more you get involved, the deeper your understanding becomes. After talking to Liu Xin and Zheng Jian, Xu Ping suddenly remembered that in his previous life, these small shops and shops were actually consumer cooperatives, which were won by workers with blood and rolling heads when they faced an existential crisis, and they had helped countless poor people survive in history.

Without the bloody facts, perhaps many people do not know the preciousness of these policies, and even those who have received favors will not remember Xu Ping's kindness. But so what? It is impossible to get anything from everything you do, and the so-called good fighters have no outstanding achievements, perhaps this is the truth.

Among his three subordinates, Liu Xin is good at making tricks and likes to drill camps, Zheng Jian is jealous and hateful, but lacks the overall situation, while Guo Jian is obsessed with technology and often makes mistakes in doing things. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, but they are all rare talents.

Talents are rare, and truly perfect characters are even more rare, and the key is how to use them. Using their strengths and trying to prevent their weaknesses is what you, as a boss, should do, and you must do.

Liu Xin, Zheng Jian, and Guo Jian originally came to Xu Ping for how to deal with the powerful people who illegally committed profits, but they turned out to be how to deal with those small shops and shops, and they inevitably felt a little bit different. Zheng Jian, in particular, was obviously unhappy.

Xu Ping said with a smile: "It's rare that the three of you come to my mansion together, this festival is the season when the watermelons brought back from the Khitan by Deputy Envoy Li last year are ripe, and it's just the right time to taste them." That's all for business, don't mention it again, and taste the melons and fruits in my house, which is also my heart. ”

After speaking, let the subordinates come up with melons and fruits. In addition to watermelon, there are also some early-ripening peaches and apricots, although the taste is a little green, it is rare to be fresh in season.

After listening to Li Zhang's words, Xu Ping had already thought about it, except for those who had to use watermelons as gifts, such as the palace, the Eight Great Kings, and several queen mothers such as Yang Jingzong's family and Li Yonghe's family, the other families would not give it. When he was free, he invited the officials of the court to come to his home and make a melon tasting party, which also saved them from comparison.

Others, of course, can also taste it when they come to their own homes, so they start with their three subordinates.

(Note: Those who come do not refuse, and those who go do not chase, which is the principle of the "LΓΌ's Township Covenant" during the Shenzong period, in fact, the "LΓΌ's Township Covenant" at that time was quite a rural commune.) In detail, most of the principles of consumer cooperatives that emerged in Europe later are present, but consumer cooperatives are linked by interests, while township covenants focus on customs and education. The "LΓΌ's Township Covenant" was the source of the gentry's governance of the countryside in the later Ming and Qing dynasties, but it only lasted for a few years, and a lot of changes were made in the process of practice. Although there are still similar township covenants in the Two Song Dynasty by chance, they only appear sporadically, and they basically can't be adhered to, so there is no such thing as a squire in the Two Song Dynasty. It was not until the middle and late Ming Dynasty that Wang Yangming implemented the "Gannan Township Covenant" in Jiangxi as a governor, and after the government intervened and dominated, the gentry dominated the countryside in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. It is explained here that it is because many readers have the impression that the ancient Chinese countryside is the world of the squire and landlords, and this situation is not the mainstream in actual history, and the squire became the local emperor of the countryside after the middle and late Qing Dynasty, and that is already modern history, and does not belong to the category of ancient history. οΌ‰

But the ability is limited, and it is true that every aspect can not meet the mind of every reader, and if there is something missing, please bear with it. (To be continued.) )
