Chapter 41: Each has a strange move
Tashi Tusi and the Hongdong County Commander of Dawanshan Division stood up one after another, and said to the comers: "Dai Tongzhi, long time no see!" ”
Acquaintance? That's the adjutant of the prefect's house, who is in charge of supervising grain, catching thieves, coastal defense, river defense, water conservancy, etc., and is the official from the sixth grade, which is the direction that Ye Xiaotian has been striving for! Ye Xiaotian looked at this "Ximen official" from the sixth grade, and his eyes were full of eagerness.
His eagerness was not to emulate the brilliant achievements of Dai Tong's acquaintance and chasing young women, but because Dai Tong's six-rank official position hooked Ye Xiaotian's infinite reverie.
In addition, Tongzhi is also called Zhou Tong, and he is the right and left hand of the prefect together with the state judge, and the identity is one step closer than the experience, and it seems that his own relief money is about to fall on this Dai Zhoutong. For a while, Ye Xiaotian looked at Dai Zhoutong, as if he saw a pile of white silver.
Among this pile of strangely shaped officials, Ye Xiaotian, who was young and handsome and handsome, became an outlier, as eye-catching as standing out from the crowd, and Dai Zhou noticed him at once, and looked over with a smile, but saw Ye Xiaotian staring at him, his eyes flashing with greed.
Daizhou Tongdeng chrysanthemum tightened, subconsciously took a step back, and thought in his heart: Who is this and why...... Why are you looking at me like that? Dai Zhoutong cleared his throat and bowed his hand to everyone: "You have been waiting for a long time, the prefect has woken up, you adults come with me." ”
"Zhizhou has only woken up?" Ye Xiaotian looked at the bright sunshine outside the hall and was speechless.
The officials followed Dai Zhoutong out of the hall in a swarm, and Dai Zhoutong suddenly saw that Ye Xiaotian was still quietly looking at him, his expression was very strange, and he couldn't help but turn to Ye Xiaotian and asked: "This adult is very angry, but he doesn't know how to honor his name?" ”
Ye Xiaotian has been to the prefect's yamen twice, but each time he was privately received by the prefect Zhang, and he has never met a subordinate official in the prefect's yamen, so he does not know this Lord Dai. Now as soon as I heard him take the initiative to talk, I immediately stepped forward and smiled before I spoke: "Xiaguan Huxian County Cheng Ye Xiaotian, Dai Zhoutong, long admiration, long admiration!" ”
Dai Zhoutong quietly distanced himself from him, and thought to himself: "Dai and you don't know each other, why are you so enthusiastic?" But his mouth was lukewarm and perfunctory: "Ah, it turned out to be Ye Xiancheng, disrespectful." Disrespectful. ”
Zhang Da Fat Roshan was generally piled up in a big Taishi chair, wearing a brocade robe of a plum red magpie Dengzhi Yanju, and the magpie was bulging by the fat on his belly. He was supposed to go to the front hall to listen to the officials, but he was too fat to move around, so he summoned them to the back house.
"Sit, sit down."
Zhang Da Fat Man was full of anger, and his belly moved like a drum when he spoke. Everyone saluted Governor Zhang's mansion one after another, and then sat down on the seats on both sides. Because they are dressed in a messy way, they can't tell who has the highest grade, so they can't arrange seats according to their status, so they can only find a seat nearby.
Ye Xiaotian didn't understand such a habit. Just stunned slightly, the first row of seats on the left and right had been occupied first, Ye Xiaotian suddenly realized and hurriedly rushed to the second row. When he rushed over, the second row of seats was also filled, and Ye Xiaotian had to rush to the third row again. I managed to grab a seat next to the pillar, but it was the closest to the entrance of the hall.
Ye Xiaotian sat down, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the other side of the pillar, wanted to see who else was as unlucky as him, and as soon as he looked around, he saw the elongated face of the Tuzhi County named Hongdong of the Dawan Mountain Division, which was as ugly as a shoehorn, and Ye Xiaotian quickly retracted his head.
Governor Zhang coughed twice and said: "My land in Guizhou is barren, and the taxes of a province are not as good as those of a county in the south of the Yangtze River. Cough! As for this money, it has arrived, and how to distribute it will be discussed. ”
As soon as Governor Zhang's voice fell, an old man dressed in a Confucian shirt, wearing a square scarf on his head, and three locks of long hair under his chin stood up and arched his hand: "Taishou, our academy is a government school, and it has always relied on government funding. According to the old practice, every three years, a sum of the imperial court's relief should be allocated to the college. It is the following officials who urge Tai to follow the old practice and allocate the full amount of our school funds. ”
Ye Xiaotian saw that this person was Li Jiaoyu, and he didn't seem to see him when he went to wait in the hall just now, and he didn't know when he came out, and he actually grabbed a seat next to Governor Zhang. The "Taishou" in the mouth of the Li Jiao edict refers to the prefect of Zhang, and the scholars are ancient, so Ya calls the prefect Taishou.
Before Governor Zhang could speak, the Tashi Tusi stood up and said in a rough voice: "What does it matter if the government is built or not, and taking care of the people is the first priority." Lord Prefect, I am surrounded by the mountains of Kesi, the terrain is closed, and the economy is in dire straits! It's my toast, and now I can only eat a meal of fragrant pork for two days, which shows the suffering of the people, no matter how the adults discuss, they shouldn't allocate funds to the school first, and please have mercy on the people of my flat head......"
Li Jiaoyu looked at Tashi Tusi and said disdainfully: "The government school is set up by the imperial court, where the disciples are gathered to teach and study knowledge, preach the scriptures and discuss the Tao, spread the education, carry the literary movement, select the virtuous and capable, it is the world's first-class priority, how did it come to your mouth, it became worthless?" ”
Tashi Tusi said: "Sage Yun: Cang Liao is full and then knows the etiquette, and now the people can't even fill their bellies, what kind of etiquette and education do they talk about?" ”
Li Jiao said: "Where there is prosperity, education comes first. If education is not promoted, the poor will only become poorer. The people are ignorant, what can they do? ”
Immediately, another man in an official robe jumped up and said: "What Li Jiao said is not high-sounding, your school has the name of building a school, but there is no truth of Hongdao, it took five years to produce a talent, where did all the money go?" ”
Li Jiaoyu's old face turned red, and he argued strongly: "Although it took five years for my school to produce a show talent, he was admitted to the examination and was selected as an official, and now he has outstanding political achievements, and he has been promoted from the classic history to the county Cheng, although the number of talents in my Tongren Mansion is limited, but the quality is very high." Now it is precisely because there are too few talents in Tongren Mansion that we should increase investment. ”
This is the dispute between the "theory of the uselessness of education" and the "theory of the omnipotence of education", seeing that everything has been said to this point, Ye Xiaotian, as a student of Li Jiaoyu, as the biggest beneficiary of Tongren Fuxue education, is not good not to come forward to support the teacher.
Ye Xiaotian coughed, stood up, and said earnestly: "Ladies and gentlemen, no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard you are in students!" I think. There is a lot of truth in what Li Jiao said. ”
Ye Xiaotian said impassionedly: "As the so-called ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, a country to be strong, a place to be rich and strong, only talent is possible." The Li Sect is far-sighted and well-intentioned, which is really admirable, and this official agrees with the opinion of the Lai Sect! ”
Ye Xiaotian said, thinking in his heart, this is Tongren, I wanted to ask Li Jiaoyu to help me speak. Why did it become a voice for him? As usual, the school allocates funds every three years, and this year it happens to be the turn of the school again, so I want to get more money, wouldn't it be even more difficult? I hope that the Li Sect will return the favor and remember to support me for a while. ”
"Shit! It's all a fallacy! ”
Hong Dongzhi County, his old enemy Dawanshan Division, stood up and retorted: "My Guizhou Tusi has been inherited for thousands of years, what do you rely on? It's a fist, it's a knife, it's not a book, and you people who read are useless. Of course, I'm trying to tout your bullshit! If the people can't eat enough, they will rebel, what if there is really chaos? Bringing out the edification of your saints, will you make them go back hungry obediently? ”
As soon as this remark came out, all officials responded one after another. There were also people who carried private goods, hurriedly expressed two sentences of support, and immediately changed the tone of conversation and began to complain to Governor Zhang's mansion. Talk about how difficult it was under his rule.
Governor Zhang sat there like a Buddha, with a smile on his face, not caring at all. Obviously, this is not the first time he has had a similar experience, and this is not a means for him to clamp down on his subordinates?
Dai Zhou saw that the officials had started the poverty contest again, so he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, your difficulties cannot all be pointed to the relief of the imperial court, the imperial court's relief is limited, and it is difficult to help the poor. ”
Governor Zhang stroked the jade wrench under his hand, drooped his eyelids and said: "You guys, you blindly cry poor in front of this mansion, but you are just thinking about the little silver in your hand." As for the silver, it is to be distributed to you, but there must always be a charter that can be recognized by all parties, I don't think you can come up with an idea, then you might as well discuss the arrangements of the house, Chonghua, you tell them to listen. ”
Dai Tongzhi said respectfully: "Yes! ”
Dai Tongzhi cleared his throat, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and read it to everyone, this year's government school will be funded, and it will be allocated according to the old practice three years ago. Da Wan Shan Division was locked up by the tiger and a group of absconding tax evaders took away a large amount of tax silver, and added another one percent as usual. Yimei Dongsi suffered from drought last year, and it was added by another 10% as usual, and Shiye Dongsi was a mountain people, and they were helpless with food and clothing, so they were added another 10% as usual......"
Ye Xiaotian listened attentively, not only did Huxian not increase, but it was thirty percent lower than the old example, Ye Xiaotian was anxious when he heard it, he also helped Li Jiaofu to fight for it, he dared to love Zhang Zhifu already had a plan in his heart, presumably Li Jiao's appearance was like that, and even a few officials who jumped out against him, they were all helping each other to make a show.
Otherwise, Na Tashi Tusi had such a close relationship with the son-in-law of the Li Sect, and there was no reason for him to be the first to jump out against the Lai Sect. Besides, Tashi Tusi was a rough man, and he might not know a word, so if no one taught him to speak in advance, he would not have spoken such eloquent words. Only he is stupid, and he is sold and helps to count the money.
After Ye Xiaotian learned about Governor Zhang's position from Li Jiaoyu before, he did not go to the door of Governor Zhang's Mansion in advance, Huxian County and other counties under the rule of local officials had a completely different status in the eyes of Governor Zhang, and Governor Zhang would never harm his own interests for the sake of that little incense between them. If he went to see Governor Zhang in advance, he was afraid that he would be persuaded privately by Governor Zhang, and he would not be able to refute Governor Zhang's promotion grace at that time.
As soon as Dai Zhou's voice fell, Ye Xiaotian jumped up and said, "This kind of distribution, the lower officials don't think it's appropriate." Dai Zhou said with Fang just now that the imperial court's relief is limited, and the emergency is not to help the poor! Ladies and gentlemen, how many relatives and friends are officials, just these redundant people, the consumption is incalculable, right? It is the truth to remove redundant personnel, to reward those who are not in a hurry, to stop the anonymous levy, to save money, and to open up and expand wealth.
I don't have this problem in Huxian County. In order to facilitate the management of household registration last year, the imperial court advocated easy customs, but all those who responded were exempted from paying taxes on money and grain for one year, and the economy of Huxian County was stretched, and it was the time when it was necessary to save the emergency, so the lower officials asked the prefect to take care of them, and this year's appropriation will be increased more or less! ”
Hong Dongzhi County immediately jumped out and said coldly: "Whether it's emergency or distress, is it your turn to speak?" Lord Ye, from the head to the feet, I can't see that you have a trace of constraints? ”
Ye Xiaotian looked at it: "What do you mean?" Do you want to compare with me, "Who dares to be worse than me"? Do you really think I can't be more shameless than you? ”
