Chapter 019: Smart Man
“…… Your Majesty asked Lord Ding to draft a holy decree and transfer back to the general judgment and prison army in various places, is it to send new people to take over their duties, so as to quietly monitor the state capitals, and then slowly replace His Majesty's own people as the chief officials? This plan is very good, but I don't know where Your Majesty came from so many people, and these magistrates cannot be replaced by soldiers, they must be literate and understand political affairs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Jia Yidao is indeed a smart person, after listening to Hong Tao's explanation, he only lowered his head and thought about it for less than five minutes, and then he had his own judgment.
"If Master Jia has the right talent to recommend, it's not impossible, but the premise of all this is that Lord Jia first let me see the sincerity of cooperation between us, as well as your ability. Lord Jia should also have heard of the system of the Jinhe Empire, in the imperial government, there are only a few ministers under the prime minister, and these people are all great talents in their own right, I wonder if Lord Jia can meet this qualification? ”
Hong Tao did not deny Jia Yidao's guess, he did guess most of them correctly, but he may not know that his soldiers had all gone to school, and he didn't dare to say how high his knowledge was, but in terms of mathematics and statistics, he would not be worse than any official in the Great Song Dynasty. As a magistrate to manage the country, you don't need to have any great talents, you just need to report the situation truthfully, at least in your own system and the current situation, it is enough.
But these words can't be said to Jia Yidao and the like, they must be given a hope, so that these guys who have milk are mothers can willingly fight for the bright prospects they promised them. Of course, this prospect will never be realized, and it won't be long before they become the first tumors to be washed away. As for things like saying that he was untrustworthy, deceived people, crossed the river and demolished bridges, Hong Tao didn't think about it at all, is there a psychological burden to deceive these people?
Xia Guan felt that it was not difficult to appease the people in the city, just deduce that the fireworks purchased from the Jinhe Empire accidentally exploded, and the collapse of the city gate was reasonable, and the loud noise at night was naturally made when the fireworks exploded. The official family was frightened and angry, so the palace was also sealed off because of this incident, and the civil and military officials were not allowed to go home these days to find out the ultimate cause of the explosion in the palace. Jia seems to understand it, not only can his life be saved, but his official position will not be low, and if he can't do it, he can expand his power even more. Although he is currently a high-ranking official, it is better to choose life in the multiple-choice question of life and death. It would be better if there was still a right to live. In order to make his life better, he had long forgotten about the court, the country, and the nation, and sold himself in an instant.
"Fireworks explosions? Are there so many fireworks? Hong Tao felt that Jia Yidao's excuse was a bit reluctant, fireworks could blow up the city wall?
"Fifty thousand! If it wasn't enough, it could be said that the fireworks ignited the artillery ammunition on the city gate......" Jia Rudao fully understood the leader's unease, and added a more reasonable reason.
"Fifty thousand fireworks! What a sacrifice...... What are you going to say about the ships on the pier? I still have more than twenty warships there, and I have blocked the docks. Hong Tao was also stunned by the generosity of the Great Song Dynasty, is this going to set off fireworks for a night? However, Jia Rudao found a very suitable reason, then he could work harder, and see if he still had the potential to dig up in fooling people.
"Well...... How about saying that it is a contribution from a vassal state? It is said that the fleet from the Kalamba countries has come to the country to meet the Mid-Autumn Festival...... It's just that you have to be wronged by Your Majesty, and you will bear the name of your subject country for a period of time, so it is reasonable for Your Majesty's soldiers to appear around the imperial city. Jia Rudao completed Hong Tao's exam question perfectly, not only giving accurate answers, but more than one.
In fact, big traitors like Jia Nidao and Ding Daquan are not useless, otherwise they would not have climbed to such a high position. In fact, on the contrary, these traitors and powerful ministers are often very smart and not weak, and many people who later become traitors and powerful ministers also have their own ambitions when they first enter the officialdom. The bad thing is that they don't have a suitable rule around them to restrain them, so they will be dizzy by the power in their hands and do a lot of things that go against their original intentions.
In other words, this problem would not have happened in the Golden River Empire. According to the rules of the Golden River Empire, there can only be mediocre leaders, and there will never be power grabbers. People like Jia Nidao and Ding Daquan can't mix with the top of the empire at all. Even if you are very patient, very hard, and very lucky to get into the upper echelons of the empire, it will be useless. Because your hands and feet are bound by the parliament, the government, and the emperor, and you can't do it at will. On top of that, there's the ubiquitous opposition of opposing parties that pounce on you like mad dogs and tear you apart without leaving a bone at the slightest outrageous move.
"According to what Lord Jia said, as for how to explain clearly to the people's garrison, I will hand over this task to Lord Jia to complete, and it will also be regarded as a good start for the cooperation between the two of us, what do you think?" Hong Tao really can't think of a better way to say it, since Jia Rudao has made this suggestion, he might as well give him more rights to see how well he executes.
“…… The subordinates still need a few people, and some things are more in line with the rules for their subordinates to be notified......" Jia Rudao heard Hong Tao's words, and a flash of excitement immediately appeared in his eyes, but he was quickly blocked by him with his eyelids. He himself knows that now is not the time to be happy, and whether he can turn over in such adversity, the following actions will be the key.
Emperor Hong is no stranger to the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, almost every courtier has a few books of Emperor Hong in his hand, even if he is regarded as a beast of the flood, he still has to read. Because the times have changed, there are many places in the Great Song Dynasty that have begun to imitate the Jinhe Empire consciously or unconsciously, and the easiest way to understand the whole picture of the Jinhe Empire is to take a look at the book of the founding emperor, and everyone understands this truth.
Overall, Hong Tao's reputation in the Great Song Dynasty was very polarized. In the eyes of the ruling class and the scholarly class, he was a morally corrupt, ignorant of the teachings of the saints, reckless, ruthless, full of cranky thoughts, and very lucky madman. As for Hong Tao's great success in the Jinhe Empire, these Great Song literati who were full of envy and hatred attributed all the credit to luck and those who assisted them. This kind of reaction is very normal, if they agree with people like Hong Tao who despise imperial power, despise rights, and hate rights, it is tantamount to opposing themselves, and this is called irreconcilable class contradictions.
Moreover, Hong Tao's actions in the Jinhe Empire seriously affected the solid position of the ruling class of the Great Song Dynasty. If he hadn't come up with some decentralization system that allowed the maritime merchants to see a new world, the coastal cities in the south of the Great Song Dynasty would not have rebelled. This influence is simply digging the ancestral grave of the ruling class of the Great Song Dynasty, so Hong Tao's credit for helping the Great Song Dynasty defeat the Mongol Empire is also artificially ignored.
In the eyes of ordinary people, low-level officials, middle and lower classes of the army, and especially merchants, Emperor Hong became a savior again. First of all, he helped Da Song defeat the mortal enemy, which was a life-saving grace; Secondly, with his support, the economy of many cities in the south of the Great Song Dynasty was very prosperous, and even the people in the surrounding areas became more and more prosperous, which is the grace of reconstruction; With the opening up of the Golden River Empire and the increasing frequency of cultural and economic exchanges, more and more people have seen with their own eyes how the people of the Golden River Empire live. Even if literati and politicians talk about the truth in heaven, the people will not believe it, and people are always willing to believe what they see first, which is also human nature.
Jia Rudao not only carefully studied the past of Emperor Hong, but also studied Wen Hao's family history more carefully, and found a very interesting law from it. People who follow Emperor Hong in everything, as long as the general direction is right, the ending will not be bad. As for whether Emperor Hong is a faint monarch or a Ming monarch, in fact, most of the Great Song Dynasty officials have the same heart as Ming Spiegel, but due to their different positions, they resolutely cannot support Emperor Hong's approach, because this emperor's proposition is smashing everyone's jobs.
But now it's different, this mad emperor is really here, not only smashing all his jobs, but also taking away the heads of the big guys, at this time, the position issue can be thrown aside first, and it is important to save his life. The life is gone, and even the life of the entire family is gone, who will rely on to grab the job in the future.
The ancients said that disaster prevention is the first and not the subsequent injury. Knowing and acting cautiously, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and he can ignore it.
This sentence describes the nature of human beings, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages!
Since the ancients have taught it like this, Jia Rudao is also as good as a stream. Now the Great Song Dynasty is a dangerous wall, although Emperor Hong's side is not solid, but the lesser of two evils, it is obvious who should stand behind. As for things like loyalty, benevolence, and integrity, Jia Rudao also has them, but his goal is to himself, as long as he is worthy of himself, other goals will be leaning back first.
"No problem, second lieutenant, you take ten soldiers to help Lord Jia and assist Lord Jia in his work. In addition, five more managers will be transferred to familiarize themselves with the rules of the Great Song Dynasty with Master Jia. You must protect the safety of Lord Jia, do you understand? Hong Tao seemed to see a Wen Hao standing in front of him again, this Jia Yidao was not only flexible in his brain, but also not small in courage, and his head was not sure that he could be saved, so he began to prepare to form a gang and send him to gather energy. And he grasped his weaknesses very accurately, and his vision was also superior.
