After Xu Ping's words were finished, Kou Ying and Zhang Cun did not speak for a long time.

Until Wang Weizheng came in and met with a few people. This is Xu Ping's old chief who stepped into the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was naturally very affectionate as a colleague at this time, and he did not have the restraint of the year.

The deputy envoys of the three divisions don't look at the deputy characters, but they are actually the heads of each department. If it weren't for the current system, in the three provinces and six ministries system, each deputy envoy would be equivalent to the six Shangshu, real high-ranking officials in the court. However, in this era, it is popular to have low posts and high allocations, and the officials are inferior and powerful, and many officials are serving as transfer envoys and judges and deputy envoys of the three divisions, and the administrative power is concentrated in the hands of Zai Fu under the Zhongshu Gate, and there are three envoys on the head, and each deputy envoy is far less majestic than the six Shangshu.

Kou Ying said what he had just said to Wang Weizheng again, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Wang Weizheng sat down, thought for a while with tea, and said: "The natural disaster has been completed, if you don't attract great public resentment, it seems that the only way to go is to distribute charcoal by household." No matter what, charcoal can't reach the poor. ”

In fact, in addition to Xu Ping, the other three had another idea in their hearts. Things have come to this point, if Xu Ping does not propose a rationing system, then the people's grievances will also be people's grievances. But Xu Ping put forward this method, and in the absence of other methods, no one would come forward to oppose it, otherwise no one could afford to wear a hat that disregarded people's livelihood.

Kou Ying asked again: "Distributing charcoal according to households is easier said than done. Can the officials who handle it be trusted? How much charcoal is appropriate for each household? How to prevent someone from setting up a false account? All these things must be prepared in advance. ”

Several people looked at Xu Ping together and saw what he said.

Distribute charcoal according to households, count people's hair money, this simple idea can be thought of by anyone, the key is how to do it. If he could only talk nonsense, Xu Ping would have stayed in the Sansi Yamen in vain.

Xu Ping looked at the three of them, carefully considered his words, and said slowly: "It is difficult to pursue everything in the world. If you don't ask for anything to go wrong, you can't do anything. As long as you grasp the general trend and achieve the desired effect, you can't be too particular about a little omission. I think so, how much each household needs to distribute, one is to see how much charcoal can be collected in Kaifeng Prefecture, and the other is to roughly guess how many days there will be warmer weather. The charcoal should not shine all at once, but it is necessary to leave some preparations, and then set a number. As for the various disadvantages that will occur in the process of charcoal, to be honest, I can't prevent them all. It can only be a warning in advance and a heavy penalty after the fact, which is nothing more than mutual insurance for each household, and a reward after the fact. ”

A very big difference between this era and Xu Ping's previous life is that the people have unlimited obligations to the country, or to the emperor. Mutual insurance is like this, if one family has an accident, several families are punished, forcing the people to supervise each other. Speaking of which, how can the people have the obligation to help the court oversee? But this era is unreasonable, that's what it did, and the people must obey unconditionally.

As for allowing the people to denounce and give a reward, it is even more embarrassing. Logically speaking, literati doctors have a deep hatred for whistleblowers, believing that they corrupt the people's customs and lure the people to commit adultery. However, in this era, whistleblowing was widely encouraged, such as tax collection and household registration, and there were also rewards of varying amounts.

How can you do things without paying a price? If you don't want to pay the price, you can't do anything.

After Xu Ping finished speaking, Kou Ying and the three of them thought about it for a while, and they had no choice but to do so.

Xu Ping's words do not have much new meaning, but they ensure that the distribution of charcoal according to households is basically feasible. As long as we can prevent the poor people from freezing and starving to death on a large scale, even if there are some bad things, we can only endure them.

After the government offices gathered in the government hall, it was decided to distribute charcoal according to the households inside and outside Kaifeng City. There are several major principles, and the charcoal distribution is only for the people, not for the official households; Only the sixth class and below the sixth class, the fifth class and above are the upper households, and they are not worthy of charcoal; Monks and miscellaneous households are not equipped with charcoal; Female households, regardless of households, are all equipped with charcoal; When the charcoal is matched, five companies are jointly guaranteed, one is at fault, and five are punished.

At this time, the Fangkuo household can be roughly equal to the urban household registration of Xu Ping's previous life, which is divided into ten classes, the upper fifth class is basically a rich family, and the last fifth class is a poor person. In this way, the households are divided into two from the middle, and in fact, according to the number of households, most households in the city are in the bottom five. As for some other special households, the number of them is actually very small.

The charcoal distribution is in charge of the Kaifeng Mansion, the Yushitai sent people to supervise, and the inner attendants took the Imperial City Division to participate in the work, it seems that the yamen contain each other and supervise each other, in fact, there are still all kinds of small problems, but the crisis is over.

After this major event, the court has entered a new round of adjustment.

Yan Shu, who participated in the governor's affairs, was first opened, and he was dismissed from participating in politics and should be in Tianfu.

Yan Shu has always been cautious as an official, wandering among various political forces, and no one from all sides can be offended. His resignation to politics had nothing to do with political struggles, but purely because of his own bad luck and his cautious character.

It turned out that when Concubine Li Chen died, Yan Shu was a bachelor of Hanlin, and the words he gave to Concubine Li Chen included the words and phrases of Concubine Chen. Now that the emperor has recognized his mother, this is a big rebellion. Some ministers thought that Yan Shu, as a scholar of Hanlin, could not have known that Concubine Chen was the emperor's biological mother, but his participation in politics was quite light.

The reason why he blames his own character for this matter is that there is an example of Lu Yijian, when the Queen Mother wanted to dig the palace wall for Concubine Li Chen's funeral, Lu Yijian repeatedly blocked it. And Yan Shu didn't dare to obscure this matter in the word-making, so that he left a handle.

The second to be dismissed was Wang Sui, the governor of the political affairs, who criticized Xu Ping's recital as "absurd in literature and science", and as a result, not only did the price of the capital rise later, but also the price of charcoal rose to the sky. Fortunately, Lu Yijian was alert, and later made up for it well, but he just let Wang follow Zhishi and did not affect others.

The third to be dismissed was Prime Minister Li Di, and people with Lu Yijian repeatedly argued that Li Di mishandled Xu Ping's performance with charcoal, which almost caused a catastrophe. Li Di knew Yunzhou as his official and went out of the court.

Of the three dismissed Zaifu, two were related to Xu Ping, and after this incident, Xu Ping completely gained a foothold in the court.

Lü Yijian was promoted from the second minister to the prime minister, and took the Zhaobunkan University Scholar and supervised the study of national history. Another former minister when Zhao Zhen was the crown prince knew that Zhang Shixun of Xuzhou re-entered the political hall and brought Jixian Hall scholar as the second minister.

After many years, Lu Yijian finally ascended to the position of prime minister again.

The privy deputy envoy Cai Qi and the Hanlin scholar Zhang Dexiang visited the governor, and the old Sheng Du begged Zhao Zhenken to sit in the seat of the chief executive when he was alive, and worshiped the privy deputy envoy on behalf of Cai Qi.

This set of slaughtering team may be a little uncoordinated no matter how you look at it, and Zhang Shixun is not as good as Li Di, and Lu Yijian's power in the slaughter is no longer able to be balanced. Immediately afterwards, Zhao Zhen agreed to the elderly Wang Shu Zhishi, and the vacant privy envoy was replaced by Wang Zeng in Henan Mansion.

Now in the entire Great Song Dynasty, the only person who makes Lu Yijian respect, fear, and guard against all kinds of complex emotions, King Qingzhou has returned to the court again. (To be continued.) )
