Chapter 183 Chinese Book Ordinance
This is on-the-job training, and in Xu Ping's view, it is not good to learn theory, and if it is not good, it will become an ideological battlefield. Ouyang Xiu, the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info took his like-minded people to talk about Hanyu Mencius every day, and then a group of Xunzi, and in this era, there are many people who introduce Buddha into Confucianism and aid Zhuang into Confucianism, and the place is lively.
The pavilion is to read and repair books, and there are no lectures, so it will be so quiet. That's it, every time it's time to compile a book, it's also a lot of trouble. Because the "Book of Tang" is complicated, there has always been the sound of rebuilding, and now it has not started to work, and how to repair it has begun to quarrel. If these people were to talk about poetry and books, the excitement would be conceivable.
Therefore, Xu Ping's opinion is simply not allowed to talk about the sage road there at all, honestly study the laws and regulations, and talk about the experience of governance in combination with cases. Let the people who go in really learn something, don't just become a place of communication, call each other brothers and sisters, and form gangs in the officialdom.
It's just that Xu Ping's thoughts are obviously different from others.
Zhao Zhen wanted to take advantage of such an opportunity to shorten the distance between lower-level officials and himself, and prevent being overshadowed by the two governments. This is the ancestral family law, and since the time of Taizong, special attention has been paid to the opportunity to meet middle and lower-level officials face-to-face. All foreign appointments without special orders must resign from His Majesty, and when they return to Beijing to report on their work, they must face it, and report their plans and experiences directly to the emperor. This is an important means to prevent the imperial power from falling, and Zhao Zhen wants to take advantage of it whenever he has the opportunity.
The rulers thought just the opposite, that is, even if there was such an organization, they must not allow the inner court to seize the power of the outer court. It is better to use seniority to restrict officials and promotions than to let personnel power get out of control. Therefore, in the hearts of the deacons, it doesn't matter how they teach, but they must exclude the Hanlin scholars of the academy.
Seeing that the people in the pavilion were silent when they heard his words, Xu Ping couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart, did he say something that he shouldn't say? No, I don't. After thinking quietly for a while, it suddenly dawned on me that I still ignored the contradiction between the monarch and the minister. Except for themselves, no one here really cares about what to teach, and what to do after teaching is what they care about. What he said was not in line with what these people thought, and they naturally didn't know how to draw conclusions for a while.
After being silent for a while, Zhao Zhen said: "I think that what Xu Ping said is indeed reasonable. Since it cost money and food, and a lot of effort, it is natural to let the people who study in it learn something that is really useful to the imperial court. But no one has ever done this kind of thing before, Xu Ping, can you elaborate on your thoughts? β
Xu Ping promised, took out a booklet from his arms, and handed it to Zhao Zhen: "This is what the minister has driven out these days, according to the matter of letting the minister talk about money and food, then it should be like this." There is nothing to talk about, it is to use one thing that the minister encountered when he was an official, and analyze in detail the pros and cons at that time. Why did you dispose of it so much, what effect did you achieve after doing it, what was different from what you thought, where you got it, and where you lost it, for future generations to learn from. β
Zhao Zhen took the booklet and flipped through it casually. Inside is Xu Ping's several typical cases when he was sentenced in Yongzhou, analyzed in detail, and the pros and cons in the middle and some experiences. This is what Xu Ping was used to in his previous life, and no one asked him to talk about any big truths in his identity, and the training was all about practical things. In his opinion, only by doing so can he make good use of this opportunity and really do something meaningful.
After reading it, Zhao Zhen's expression eased a lot, and he handed it to Lu Yijian on the side: "What Xu Ping said is not a bad way." These candidates are all long-time politicians, and it is really useful for them to talk about them. β
Several Zai Chuan saw it, and the atmosphere eased a lot. If you just talk about these transactional things, after the end of the exam, the rewards and punishments will be decided by this examination, and there will indeed be a lot less trouble, at least neither the emperor nor the two governments will have to think about winning them over.
As the imperial examination became more and more standardized, the officialdom at this time had become accustomed to using the method of examination to make decisions. For example, if you want to enter the pavilion, you must not only have an official guarantee, but also get the academy examination, and determine the status according to the results. If a military attache wants to change his civilian position, he must also be promoted, and then go to the Guozijian examination, and there are still performance requirements. Even if Wenchen wants to serve as the intellectual system, he also has to take the exam, and he can only be appointed after passing the examination. Hanlin Bachelor has already taken the exam once because Ren Zhizhi has already taken the exam, so he doesn't need to take the exam again, but he still has to take the exam if he doesn't have this qualification.
What Xu Ping put forward and learned is all concrete practice, and there is no position. Rewards and punishments are based on the results of the final exam, theoretically do not involve personal likes and dislikes, and are the most acceptable to all parties.
The people in the pavilion spread all over the place, and Lu Yijian said: "Your Majesty, the minister is Xu Ping, this method is feasible." At this time, there were no less than tens of thousands of civil and military officials in the imperial court, and nine out of ten of them were selected and petty military attachΓ©s. They have the most important affairs and lack of knowledge, and learning these things can make up for their shortcomings. And those who teach can also re-evaluate the gains and losses, which can be said to be mutually beneficial. β
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Zhao Zhen said: "Since this is the case, then settle down and teach and learn according to Xu Ping's method." Several copies of this booklet were copied, and each yamen went to report to the officials who were going to teach, and wrote the contents of the teachings accordingly. β
Wang Zeng smiled and said: "There is no need to copy it, it is very easy to print these in the capital now, just let people print them." β
"I forgot that there was no need to transcribe it now. Then hand it over to the Guozijian and go to the seal. β
The people received the decree, and the matter was decided. The government hall and the Privy Council discussed together what should be taught in the law, prison, money and grain, and persuasion to the peasants, and which yamen should choose people to teach.
After deciding on a major event, Zhao Zhen was in a much lighter mood, said two gossips, and said to Lu Yijian: "Since Xu Ping entered Beijing last year, he has edited the three regulations. Two days ago, I heard Shi Quanbin say that the new regulations have been compiled, but the Chinese book has not been promulgated by an imperial decree, and the three departments have been inconvenienced. I wonder if there's anything you're not satisfied with in the government hall? β
Lu Yijian praised the wat: "Back to Your Majesty, there is nothing dissatisfied." The reason why it was pressed first was only because in the past two years, the ministers had been in the Chinese book, and they were also compiling the Chinese book regulations, and they wanted to wait for the compilation to be promulgated together. β
Of course, Zhao Zhen had heard about it, but Lu Yijian had never officially reported it, and it was not easy for him to ask. This is related to his character, when Taizu Taizong was in power, he even knew what kind of wine his ministers drank at home, and he would clearly tell the ministers, so that they would know that the emperor sent people to keep an eye on him, and be careful in everything.
Zhao Zhen can't do this kind of thing, the times have changed, and the environment at this time does not allow him to do this kind of thing.
Today, Lu Yijian said it, and Zhao Zhen thought that he knew about it, and nodded: "It turned out that he was compiling the regulations of the Chinese book, so it's no wonder." Political affairs must be written by the Chinese book, of course, your regulations come out, and the regulations of the three divisions can be revised according to them, otherwise wouldn't it be perverse? It's just that there are a lot of affairs in the three divisions now, and between the old and new regulations, the officials often have nothing to follow, and the Chinese regulations must be compiled faster. β
"Command!"
Kou Ying has something to do, he didn't arrive today, Zhao Zhen really couldn't help it, so he helped Xu Ping urge, of course, in the name of Shi Quanbin, he couldn't sell Xu Ping like this. I didn't expect that the government hall was pressing the regulations of the three divisions, and there was still a valid reason. Of course, whether this is an excuse or not, that's another matter, and this excuse is at least plausible.
Officials who have been in a yamen for a long time will find a way to revise the regulations of this yamen, which is a matter of no choice, and they have to do it, otherwise they will not be able to control the affairs of this yamen. What Lu Yijian has done even more is that what he wants to compile is the Chinese Book Regulations, which is equivalent to establishing a standard for the political affairs of the world. Only he can do this, because he can do it for so long in the position of prime minister, it seems that except for one Lu Yijian, there is only Zhao Pu.
Xu Ping is accustomed to this rhythm, in his previous life, he always talked about doing things according to the law, acting according to regulations, and wanting the rule of law, not the rule of people, in fact, it is similar to the meaning now, but the purpose is different.
The current officials are keen to compile regulations because in the Song Dynasty, all the major events in the world were concentrated in the imperial court, and the officials really couldn't control the clerks below, so they had to use regulations to restrain them. Xu Ping's compilation of the regulations of the three divisions is not only for this reason, but more importantly, it is necessary to change the previous way of doing things.
After asking about the regulations, Zhao Zhen mentioned by the way, Xu Ping said a few days ago that the three divisions of the Gou Yuan were integrated, and the Grinding and Exploration Division were combined into one division to supervise the world's money and grain, and asked the opinions of the deacons.
After hearing this, Lu Yijian's brows couldn't help frowning, and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the three divisions of the Gou Yuan have not been united, but there are many inconveniences, and the clerical affairs have been delayed, so they have to be separated again." Now that we are reuniting the Gou Academy, how can we prevent the recurrence of the previous drawbacks? Many accounts are easy to dispose of in this yamen, and once they are separated, they will inevitably be delayed. β
Xu Ping said: "Xianggong, this time is different from the past. The accounts of the new regulations of the three divisions are much clearer than before, and the most important thing is that the audit of the accounts saves countless efforts compared with the previous ones. What I am afraid of now is not the delay in the paperwork, but the cover up of the yamen's shortcomings. I am in the Salt and Iron Division, and I know that the Gou Yuan is under the yamen, and I don't want the officials above to inform me, and once the accounts are wrong, the officials will tamper with the seams on their own. The accounts are easy to check, and these are the most important things to prevent in the future. β
Wang Zeng said: "In the past, the three divisions were united, resulting in a backlog of documents in the three divisions, which had not been checked for three years. Now that you want to unite the hospital, how can you prevent the past from repeating itself? Now it's really that easy to check the accounts? β
"It's really much easier to go back to Xianggong. Now, once the local account books are reported, the Gou Yuan will be able to complete the verification by the middle of next month. If it was before, it would have been pressed until the end of the year, and this time would not have been saved. β
Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng bowed their heads and discussed a few words, and said to Xu Ping: "This matter is not in a hurry, wait until the compilation of the Chinese book regulations is completed, let's discuss it together." In two days, you will write a detailed pleading, and see if it is suitable according to what you said, and whether there will be any more disadvantages in the previous situation. β
Xu Ping promised.
At this time, it was gradually noon, and the weather was hot, and the officials who were hanging out outside could not resist the heat wave, and went to the shady place in the big woods. The ministers above the attendants gathered again into the pavilion. (To be continued.) )
