The group rode back to Jingyang County.

Just as they were about to return to the county office, a woman stopped them, and she walked out of the corner so slowly, as if unintentionally. Of course, when they entered the county seat, Wang Ju and Hou Ke didn't dare to shoot the horse and gallop wildly, and the old horse that Hou Ke stepped on couldn't run if he wanted to.

A few people had to rein in the horses and let her pass.

The woman was carrying a little maid by her side, and the little maid glanced at Wang Ju with strange eyes, as a twenty-eight girl, she still admired Wang Ju in her heart. However, the main family hated Wang Ju to death, so her expression was very complicated.

The woman walked very slowly, and she still held a crutch in her hand that she bought from nowhere to honor the elderly, and then knocked the tip of the crutch on the ground against Wang Ju, scolding while knocking: "This one who kills a thousand knives, he will not die, no one will kill, one day the sky will be destroyed by thunder, there will be good retribution, and the son has no asshole." Heaven will retribution, my father has a thousand cuts, and my mother is unkind and unjust......"

The scolding was very ugly, Hou Ke was speechless, I know, Quan Erchang led someone to arrest people.

How did you get caught in the city?

Only the small main households live in the countryside, and eighty percent of the large main households live in the cities, and they not only have arable land, but also have other industries in the city to make profits.

Wang Ju said: "Hou Zhixian, let the official ask, is it the woman of that family." ”

The woman reamed and gave way out of the way, and many people watched by.

There were also some who applauded the woman.

But most people are still upset about Wang Ju, saying that after Zheng Baiqu is repaired, how much change it will bring to Jingyang, everyone knows, but the people only know the changes in irrigation, how many people know that it will also bring earth-shaking changes to the city? It doesn't take much, you can see it tomorrow after autumn!

Therefore, for the time being, they all thought that Wang Ju had nothing to do with their lives.

But Wang Ju killed someone. But he killed more Tangut people, so everyone was not very repulsive about this killing. Besides, Wang Ju has been rain or shine these days. Everyone also sees that justice is in the hearts of the people. Most of the people still admired Wang Ju very much.

Wang Ju continued to rein in his horse, and after a while, a servant inquired that it was the eldest lady of the Zeng family.

"Zeng's family?" Wang Ju sneered, just knew, and then slapped his horse and galloped towards the county office.

"Drink tea," Hou Ke personally made a cup of tea and brought it over.

This daughter-in-law of the Zeng family scolded too undecently, and she had to let Wang Ju dissipate her anger.

"Hou Zhixian, don't worry. Am I worth being angry with her? Wang Ju shook his head and smiled. Whether God will retribution, Wang Ju doesn't know, but he will soon give retribution to this Zeng family.

"Hou Zhixian, let's get down to business." Wang Ju stood up and sharpened the ink.

Then write.

The one who came up with this method is also a Han Qi-style character, and it is a strengthened version of Han Qi, Zhang Juzheng!

Why did Zhang Juzheng die, his family was sad, and later generations regretted it, but there are indeed many sad reasons that dissect Zhang Juzheng's surface. Again, a lot of things are not done properly.

Therefore, he died, and his family ended up in the same fate as Huo Guang's family.

If Wang Ju learns from Zhang Juzheng, maybe the same will be true. There are enemies on all sides, he has really developed to that point, he is there, and the political enemies dare not do anything to him, but as soon as he dies, future generations will inevitably be sad. But it doesn't matter, Huo Guang and Zhang Juzheng have no way out, but Wang Ju doesn't have too many ways to retreat.

Zhang Juzheng, test the law!

To put it simply. For example, a prefect lists the tasks that must be completed at the beginning of each year. Transcribe it into a book, and make a copy of it yourself. One was handed over to the two governments, and by the end of the year, a pair, that thing was not completed, and I packed my luggage and went back to the county seat, and it was still the same when I arrived at the county seat, so get out of here. So is it possible to write a little less of your work report, it's okay, although you write less, but find out, don't wait for you to finish the time, just pack up and leave.

To put it more complicated, it means that the various ministries and departments in the capital and the local officials of the prefectures and counties will write down the deadlines for the things that should be done in their duties, such as the suppression of bandits, tax arrears, prisons, taxation, production, and so on, and register them in four account books, one for their own records. A copy of the Beijing officials was handed over to the Yushitai, the local officials were handed over to the higher-level officials, and the state officials were handed over to the transfer envoys, and the transfer envoys were to cooperate with the inspection officials of the capital to inspect and visit, or to the transitional stage. One is handed over to the two governments, mainly the East Mansion, which is the final review stage, and the East Mansion sets up an audit body, such as the review by the subordinates and officials in the matter. There is also a copy given to the emperor, so that the emperor can understand, or judge the dispute.

Every time a task is completed, one must be registered, and if it is not registered, it will be punished as a violation. Then report the implementation every six months or a year, and reward the completion of the order, and the punishment for failure to complete the deadline is reduced.

"Grinding?" Hou Kehu said suspiciously.

"Similar to the grinding method, it can be said to be a strengthened version of the specific version of the grinding method."

The Song Dynasty set up the grinding survey method also has this meaning, officials grind the survey, and determine their promotion based on their political performance, which is reviewed and inspected by officials such as the examination institute, but it is not specific.

And the system is now confused.

But it is still approved by the scholars, which will also be the basis for the implementation of this kind of exercise.

Hou Ke didn't see any problems, and then turned his head and asked the officials beside him: "Zhao Du, do you think it's feasible?" ”

Zhao Du thought for a while and said: "Two Ming dukes, this law does have many benefits, and there are indeed many problems in the use of officials in my court, such as employing people with articles, can you be a good official if the article is well written?" ”

"Zhao Du, it makes sense, continue to talk."

"There are also qualifications to employ people, so most officials do not act, without him, one action is either right or wrong, some people love and some hate, just like Ming Gong repairs water conservancy, even if Ming Gong is like this, there will be many people who hate it. But if they don't do anything, how will the Great Song Dynasty be governed? ”

"That's a good point," Wang Ju said again.

This method of examination is aimed at this disadvantage of the times.

Once it is implemented, those who eat mixed rice and rely on false names to ascend to the top will be reflected like a demon mirror.

The most obvious is Ouyang Xiuzhi's Kaifeng Mansion.

Bao Zheng did the ultimate, Ouyang Xiu took over, he couldn't do it anymore, so he was quiet and inactive, we are elegant people, not Bao Zheng's kind of Lufu. So the literati sang the praises of virtue, and they really thought it was a graceful thing.

Is it true that the way of government is to be quiet and do nothing?

Yes, the best way to do politics is to be quiet and inactive. But it's not Ouyang Xiu's kind of inaction. Just like Huang Ba, the first good official in the Western Han Dynasty, he is not ruling by inaction. Mainly induce and follow the trend. Therefore, the people are happy and not bitter, and their political achievements have come up.

Another example is Wang Ju, if it weren't for the battle of Dashun City in Huachi County, he would have ruled by inaction, could he have given many orders and forced the people to do something? Hardly. However, he led the people to do a lot of things, and he was almost tossing. But Wang Ju's toss can also be called rule by inaction.

Of course. Ouyang Xiu himself knew it, so he said sourly that Bao Zheng was a young man, in fact, this evaluation is really overwhelming, you are an official, the first one is not to do things, but to write articles? So should Jia Pingwa be the premier of the State Council?

One is to look in the demon mirror, and the other is to cut officials.

The number of places in the imperial examination and the quota for supplementing the imperial examination are the source, and the problem is that there are already a large number of officials in the Song Dynasty, not only more than 20,000 current officials, but also countless officials waiting for the candidates. It is said that it is three to make up for one, including Wang Shao, who still hasn't gotten the difference! These alternate officials are paid despite their lack of benefits. Think about it, how is that?

Therefore, Wang Ju persuaded Zhao Ji to persuade the old, sick and greedy people among the current officials to retire. It's easy to identify the old, sick and greedy, but how can those incompetent officials be screened?

Then, as soon as the exercise test method is implemented, the official will retire quickly, and in less than ten years, most of the official will be cut by half. Then the soldiers will do it again, and the various industries in Fangchang Hedu will do it. The whole Song Dynasty was light.

There is no need for Zhao Du to explain this, Wang Ju said: "Needless to say, Zhao Du, you pick and choose for it." ”

"Ming Gong. The little one dared to say, I am grinding the survey system compared with this method. It seems confused, but there is a beauty in confusion. There are specific drawbacks. ”

"Tell me what's wrong?"

"In fact, the main responsibilities of local officials are taxation, production, and prisons, but there are many tax accidents, such as disasters."

"Disasters can be declared."

"Disasters can be declared, but some officials are eager to make profits, and when they are in office, they will raise taxes regardless of the lives of the people, and what will happen when the next official comes? Underreporting is a loss, and overreporting will make the people miserable. A good year can be levied more, and the rain is not good, which is not considered a disaster, but it can only be levied less. Therefore, it is only appropriate to be confused, and once this new law is enforced, all officials will become cool officials. There are also bandits, some bandits are cunning, it is really difficult to capture, such as the bandits who assassinate Ming Gong, they cannot be caught, if this merit examination system is implemented, the imperial court will restrict Hou Zhixian to solve cases regularly, and if Hou Zhixian is a good minister, he can only go home to farm. If it is a cunning official, he will persecute his subordinates, and his subordinates can only arrest the suspect indiscriminately, and beat the suspect into a trick, resulting in many unjust cases. Therefore, once it is implemented, it will conflict with our court's generosity. ”

Hou Kedao: "It is possible that Zhao Du's words are ......"

Wang Ju walked back and forth a few steps, not possibly, but for sure, maybe after Wang Anshi entered Beijing, it immediately became the first killer weapon of "rampant for the tiger".

"Zhao Du, what kind of household is your family?"

"Second class."

"Is there a circle of fields?"

"The small family does have hundreds of acres of land, but when my father wanted to enclose the field, he was dissuaded by the small one. However, the two Ming Princes, can the small one ask for a favor, the small family does hide some fields, but everyone is hidden in the field, can the two Ming Princes raise their noble hands in the final treatment. ”

"What do you mean by final treatment?"

"Although the two Ming Princes didn't say it, the little one knew that the last two Ming Princes must be thunderous means to deal with it."

"You're clever."

"Hou Minggong is very disdainful of the small ones, but the small ones have been eating this line of food for ten years, and they can also see some colors."

"Zhao Du, if you don't let you eat this line of food, how about being my servant?"

"To be Ming Gong's doorman, the little one is willing, Ming Gong is not happy with the little one?"

"No, but be my servant, your flexible official likes it very much, and I don't reject it, but you have to be upright with your intentions, don't do evil, don't oppress the good."

"The little one just looks at his face and acts, but he has never done anything harmful."

Hou Ke was speechless, looked at this piece and said, "You knocked out one of my officials, what should I do with this piece?" ”

"Then it won't be played." Wang Ju sighed and said. How good is the official method for testing the exercises? But after Zhao Du said something, he didn't dare to send it to the capital. Wang Ju put away the music and said to Zhao Du: "Then you come with me." ”

"Okay."

Hou Ke was a little frightened, he was an elder, so he didn't like Zhao Du.

But Wang Ju "fell in love at first sight" with Zhao Du, and then thought about Wang Ju's methods, and Wang Ju's talent was fatal, so he muttered: "I don't know if it's the disaster of the Great Song Dynasty, or the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Wang Ju didn't hear it, but if he did, he would definitely say: "Old Hou, don't care about me, take care of your two nephews first." ”

The two walked out one after the other, and Zhao Du said on the road: "Ming Gong did the right thing, if it is in normal times, he can play the court." Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, at least give an impression to those high-ranking officials in the capital. But now I heard that the official family and Han Gong had a slight discord. At this time, if you don't get it right, it will become a punching bag. ”

This is not enough, but if it is not done well, it will become Wang Anshi's biggest accomplice in accumulating money.

The two returned home.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the landlord sitting in the house, and Wang Ju asked strangely: "Li Yuanwai, what are you doing so late?" ”

The landlord is also surnamed Li, no way, who makes more people surnamed Li.

Li Yuanwai rubbed his hands and said, "Ming Gong, there is one thing that I am not embarrassed to say. ”

"Say it."

"I want to take this house back and stop renting it."

That is, I will not rent this house to you! (To be continued) R466
