Being an official in the Song Dynasty was relatively happy, and it may have been a bit annoying in the early dynasty. In fact, it is not so strict, one is the Great Dynasty, that is, the Shuowang Dynasty, the first and fifteenth days of the first month. But not necessarily, sometimes the emperor is uncomfortable, and he sends a eunuch to the hospital to be notified, and everyone has to go back to various ministries and departments to work, especially when Zhao Zhen was with Zhao Shu in his later years.

There is also a regular participation in the court, also called the living day, maybe three or four days, may not, the emperor thought of a big event, let the chamberlain lead the guards to ring the bell of the drum tower, and the officials are about to enter the palace to discuss matters. But not every Beijing official in this dynasty is qualified to enter, and only officials at or above the level of the provincial magistrate are eligible, and now Wang Ju is not good. Later, Wang Anshi was also changed, and it became a five-day ginseng, but it was not settled, and it was constantly changed, such as Song Xiaozong's daily living dynasty.

The two court meetings are not in one place, the front is in the vertical arch hall, the back is in the Changchun hall, and there is a form, the emperor summons the ministers alone to discuss matters, sometimes to the government hall, sometimes in the palace, such as Zhao Xixi in the Yanhe Hall to summon ordinary ministers, if it is an important minister, it is in the Yanhe Palace.

This is the early dynasty, although it is a little bitter, but the number of times is not much, an official like Wang Ju, as long as he gets up twice a month, he will do it early.

Then it's time to go to work.

First of all, there are holidays, there are many holidays in the Song Dynasty, there are as many as cow hair, this has to be a holiday.

In addition to holidays, there are also rotational holidays, and the actual officials work less than half of their working hours every year, and the rest are playing. It was this time of work, and I basically went to work at dawn, and the sun was still hanging high in the sky of Xishan, and they got off work.

Qiong Niang carefully sorted out Wang Ju's official uniform.

Crisp hands are like jade, slightly cool.

"I'll do it myself." Wang Ju said.

"Let Lady Joan come," said the concubine. This is the first time to work in Beijing, and Concubine Li is very nervous.

"Isn't it proud?" Wang Ju asked Qiongniang, but Concubine Li definitely didn't understand.

"The concubine can still help. Don't compare me to those officials," Qiongniang said unconvinced.

"Let's go," Wang Ju didn't want to talk to her. After saying that, he got on the horse and went to the Regulations Department of the Three Divisions.

to this institution. Later generations may not understand that it is gradually replacing the three divisions, but not the three divisions, it can be said that it is the National Development and Reform Commission, but it is not the National Development and Reform Commission. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just treat it as the National Development and Reform Commission.

Strictly speaking, now Sima Guang and others have not understood, and it was originally intended to be placed under the Chinese book. However, due to the concurrent position of Wang Anshi and Chen Xu, it seems that both governments have the right to govern.

As for the officials, there are two, Xiao Su and Lu Huiqing, and there are only a dozen or so officials left.

If you ask what you are doing, you can't say it together.

Therefore, Sima Guang had no choice but to say that the Regulations Department was redundant, increasing financial expenditures, and usurping the power of the Chinese book, transfer, and prison and prefecture and county.

OK, the latter one gets to the core.

It seems to have no power, but the power is everywhere. Able to interfere in all economic affairs of the three divisions and various states and counties. For example, the equalization law was issued in the name of the Regulations Department, for example, Dacheng and other eight people went down to investigate, and they were all inspected by officials under the Regulations Department. Of course, as soon as you return to the capital, you will still not be under the control of the Regulations Department.

So what kind of institution is it?

The first is the link between the two governments and the three departments, and the second is the National Development and Reform Commission, which has lost the law this year, the immediate green seedling law, the exemption law and the farmland and water conservancy law, all of which were issued by the Department of Regulations. Specific rights: to formulate and promulgate new laws, and to request envoys to inspect the implementation of relevant changes. It has the financial power of the three divisions and has the power to impeach dissident officials.

So it seems that there is no power. There is no one, but in fact its rights are not there. It has been involved in many ministries and departments, including a large number of legislative, executive and supervisory powers.

Guan Jian is not a separate organization, in front of Wang Anshi and Chen Xu remote control, soon Chen Shengzhi felt bad, and after resigning, he transferred to Wang Anshi and Han Jiang. In fact, it became Wang Anshi's biggest assistant in changing the law, and through it, Wang Anshi expanded his rights in disguise.

Although it is good to change the law, the Ordinance Department has become Wang Anshi's shield, a think tank, a thug and an advocate. Or that it seems to be developing into Wang Anshi's private institution, so by the next year more and more ministers attacked it, so it was merged into the Zhongshu and finally disappeared, but it didn't matter, Wang Anshi launched the Sinong Temple and the Zhongshu Regulations Division......

So there was a scene that Wang Ju saw when he went to the Ordinance Division.

A simple organization, Xiao Su is burying his head in the official documents, God knows what he is looking at?

Lu Huiqing was talking to Zhang Dian, and the rest of the officials were drinking tea and chatting together.

However, Zhang Dan is in charge of the Kapok Division, and the Kapok Division is under the jurisdiction of the Third Division. It is not surprising that the Department of Regulations has the right to inquire into the situation of the various ministries and departments of the three divisions!

Although no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a unit that does things!

Seeing Wang Ju, Xiao Su put down the official document in his hand and said, "Zi'an, it's finally here." ”

On the other side, Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dian also greeted him and quarreled with Wang Ju. Xiao Su immediately sat back, Wang Ju touched his nose, this dare is the enemy of life and death.

"Brother Zihou, how did you come to the Ordinance Division?"

"Brother Jifu wants to know about the situation of Kapok Division."

Su Zhe snorted coldly on the side, does that mean clearly, is it embarrassing to mention kapok? The main owner is the one in front of him!

Wang Ju touched his nose again.

If you talk about plagiarism, you are the biggest plagiarist.

He opened his mouth and said: "As the old saying goes, the clouds are not the same, but what is the way of the courtiers, enriching the people and strengthening the country!" ”

Everyone is well-intentioned, but the methods in their hearts are different, why make it so incompatible? Or that no matter who came up with it, it was all for the country, and no one fought for this title, so why bother?

"Brother Zihou, what's the situation with that kapok?"

"At present, it is not as good as the inner storehouse, the inner storehouse is brought by your family's servant and Su Lishe, the kapok planting area has reached 4,000 hectares, and only 3,000 hectares belong to the Kapok Division. However, Jiefu Gong ordered the official relocation, and it is estimated that the scale will expand rapidly next year. robbed your family of that merit of the servant. ”

"He is now a common man, just rob it, whether it is the third division or the inner treasury, it is for the profit of the imperial court, what does it mean to rob or not? However, the imperial court ordered the forcible relocation of the people, but there was a commotion? ”

"There was a slight commotion. But it's not huge," Zhang said.

In fact, this is the work of Cheng Shi Meng, and the other is spontaneous. One was forcibly relocated, and the situation ended up being the same. They come with anticipation, and the latter may also be destitute people, but with dissatisfaction.

Moreover, the forced eviction did not leave enough time, and some people were moved over without arranging the rest at all, leaving nothing. In some places, Haoqiang is reluctant to let people go, after all, these people are all gone. They will lack cheap tenant farmers, and there will be some lawlessness on the way. The number of people is large, and the arrangement is not appropriate. Also, now that we are starting to collect money, a large number of people are coming, and we can't make proper arrangements. The weather was hot, the crowd was dense, and nothing was bumped into the miasma, but malaria was encountered, and hundreds of people died. There is more to come. Yes, there are many primitive places in Liangguang that have not been developed, but the imperial court wants to make contributions immediately. It is impossible to rely on the relocation of people to develop it in an autumn and winter, and it is necessary to organize labor from the local area, so the local people have invisibly increased a lot of forced labor...... Wait a minute.

Many, many issues, the imperial court has also received some impeachments from the following, especially those areas that have been relocated ruthlessly, and the powerful have protested. Cheng Shimeng saw that it was not good, so he hurriedly went to the front line and arranged carefully. They were almost tired and lay down, so they reluctantly settled the migrants one by one. Then write the memorabilia. Let the court slowly. Fortunately, there is a counterpoint to the inner library. The officials were also forced to dare not come nonsense, so there were no major problems.

In short, there was a lot of resentment below, but after the Cheng Shi Meng Kongzhì, these resentments did not expand, and they were better than Wang Ju thought.

It's a pity that no one in the court can see Cheng Shimeng's efforts.

Wang Ju didn't expect it, so he muttered, "Isn't it big?" ”

"The country's finances are embarrassed, and Jiefu Gong has to do it." Lu Huiqing said.

After Wang Ju heard this, he didn't say anything more, and Lu Huiqing's words couldn't be clearer. Now it's about collecting money, and even the equalization method of green seedlings has come out, and it's cotton. Wang Anshi's intention in doing this is nothing more than to turn around the country's financial situation in a very short period of time.

But is that really the case?

Lu Huiqing asked the hall official to make tea, and said: "If the planting of kapok can reach 20,000 hectares or 30,000 hectares next year, the benefits will be unimaginable." ”

"Brother Jifu, scarcity is expensive, once there are more, its profits will not be as good as now," Wang Ju said. 30,000 hectares of cotton are planted, can you still expect a quilt like last year to be worth more than 20 pieces?

Of course, in this decade, the more you plant, the higher the income of the imperial court.

"I don't know what other open source strategy Brother Zi'an has?" Zhang Dian asked again.

Su Zhe also put down the official document and listened, Wang Anshi's open source is not called open source, cotton is the real open source. There are a few major things to make up for, and with the addition of throttling, the state finances will immediately become full of health.

"Brother Zihou, you really think highly of me. There are small open sources, such as soju, would you be interested? ”

Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dian laughed together, soju is not bad, but in a country, its profit is too small, or it can't save the current emergency.

But Wang Ju will not be handed over to the imperial court, as Zhang Ji thought, in his own hands, how convenient it is to operate. Sucrose, there is no way, otherwise Wang Ju will not let the inner library participate. However, cotton, he did not dare to enter, this scale is too large, food, clothing, housing and transportation, directly clothing, is the first. Moreover, there is a lot of labor required, and it is not something that can be operated by one person.

However, Sucrose, he was reluctant to hand it over to the third division, God knows what he pulled out in the end?

In fact, in addition to sucrose, there is another thing, but he doesn't plan to do it for the time being, because it will kill people......

"Brother Jifu, I'm here for the Ordinance Division, what do you have to let me do?"

"There's one thing, but it's going to be a few days." Lu Huiqing said.

Wang Ju poured bitter water in his heart, I understand, Xiao Su is not easy to say, he must wait for Xiao Su to be delegated before he is put on the agenda, Qingmiao Law!

However, Wang Ju didn't sit for long, and after a while, the officials of Zhongshutang came over and conveyed Wang Anshi's order, asking him to go to Suozao County to see how to drain the embankment.

A very normal order, but Wang Ju was surprised, and said, "There is no Horidi? ”

This is no joke, and this year has been relatively rainy. Although Wang Ju was clear about every edict in the capital, he vaguely knew that the imperial court seemed to restrain the flow of the north water and direct all the water of the Yellow River to the east.

Isn't it fucking up to the rivers and embankments that flow eastward, pouring the water of the Yellow River?

There is no accident now, but don't be mistaken, this water does not flow to the Bohai Sea all at once, and the river water seen from Kaifeng can only enter the sea for at least several days.

This is really a big deal, once the Yellow River bursts its banks again, at least a few million, or even tens of millions, there will be no more, how many quilts will have to be sold?

It also refers to the losses of the imperial court, the payment of taxes, and disaster relief. If the loss of the people is included, it is even more immeasurable.

"Brother Jifu, Brother Zihou, Brother Ziyou, then I'll go down first, you talk slowly, remember what I said, don't always think about things from your own point of view, and think appropriately from the other party's standpoint. Then there will not be so much contradiction and hatred. ”

Actually, I still said it to Xiao Su.

You are not a "Shuo" person, but a Sichuan person, there is no need to learn to be Song Can.

After Wang Ju finished speaking, he immediately left the Ordinance Department and went home, the family was strange, and the concubine asked, "Why did you come back so soon?" ”

"Zhongshu asked me to go to the Yellow River for some trouble."

"How's the Ordinance Division?" Qiong Niang asked on the side.

"Do you want to listen to the truth or to listen to the lies?"

"Huh?"

"Lying is a quick life, basically doing nothing, the truth is just bullshit!" (To be continued)
