Section 681 Testimonies
"Chenda Nongzhong Chengxun, meet Your Majesty!" From behind the big farmer, a middle-aged official walked out.
Seeing this person appear, Liu Che's eyes also lit up.
As we all know, Danong is undoubtedly playing a career and taking the prestige line, relying on good character, good morality, and decent style, and is widely praised by public opinion, so he has climbed step by step to the current position of Jiuqing.
Therefore, relatively speaking, the personal ability of the straight and undoubted is very questionable.
Liu Che sometimes even secretly slandered: If he sent Zhizhi to manage a large county with more than 10,000 households in Kanto, would he be able to manage it?
Anyway, Liu Che had never heard of what Zhi Budo had done or what achievements he had made.
But......
This does not prove that Zhi Bu is some kind of waste wood or a mediocre talent who has mixed up to a high position by pure luck.
On the contrary, it has been standing from the Taizong period to today, and there is no doubt that if there were not a few brushes, it would have been dug and buried!
What's more, the status has reached the level of Zhiundoubt.
Ability and wrist have taken a back seat.
The character and personality have become the criteria for judging whether they are qualified.
And he is undoubtedly a gentleman, a recognized moral model in the world.
It doesn't matter if there is water in it, whether there has been hype or something.
At least, for so many years, Zhi Budo has always maintained his image as a gentleman.
He is polite, law-abiding, never crosses the distance, he is gentle and courteous, approachable, courteous and virtuous corporal, even if he treats his subordinates, he never puts on an official show.
It seems that Zhibu is undoubtedly a standard Confucian stream.
But it's a pity that he is a politician of the old school of Huang.
Huang Lao did nothing, and he did everything.
As one of the backbones of the current Huang Lao School. Zhi Bu is undoubtedly a typical Cao Shen-style minister.
For old-school politicians like Cao Shen, they don't need to be talented, capable, or do anything great.
They only need to do one thing well - find out the professionals and capable guys under their staff, and then entrust them with the heavy responsibility.
The rest is to drink and play the piano at home. Enjoy the autumn moon and the changing seasons.
This kind of worry-free, effort-saving, and easy-to-promote way of being an official has once flourished in the past few dozen years.
When the famous Pingyang Yihou Cao Shen was the prime minister, in order to tell the world, he really didn't want to take care of things, so he simply drank every day. He entrusted all the major affairs of the country to those subordinates he promoted.
Cao Shen not only didn't care about himself, but also forbade others to be blind.
Emperor Hui once wanted to take a tube, but was sprayed with saliva all over his face by Lao Cao.
It is in the last ten years or so that the resurgence of Legalist power has broken this situation and made ripples in the political situation of a pool of stagnant water. There are twists and turns, and there are also angers.
And this big farmer who stood up. Nominally, it is the undoubted deputy.
But in fact, the Manchu dynasty knows that this person is the real helmsman of the Han treasury now.
is different from the two yamen of Shaofu and Taifu, this big farmer Zhongcheng is not Liu Che's forced to give him no doubt.
Instead, he does not doubt the talents he has excavated.
Just look at his resume.
Ten years ago. He is just a planner, and he follows the county's Shangji vehicles every year to and from Chang'an, without avoiding the cold and heat.
At that time, he probably only had a rough understanding of a few big characters.
But today. He was already one of the strongest accountants in the Han family, and it is said that he could instantly calculate the amount of the balance and deficit through mental arithmetic as long as he glanced at the account book.
"What do you have to say?" Liu Che stood up and asked, Liu Che always maintains enough respect for professionals.
The surname Fan is a very lonely surname.
But in the history of the Han Dynasty, ministers with the surname Fan are usually known for their particularly large brains.
For example, the courtier in front of him has a son named Fanli.
The future will be whimsical, and he actually wants to dig up Sanmenxia and let the Yellow River kneel down and sing conquest.
If it's just a matter of thinking, that's it.
But the point is that people put it into action......
Although, in the end, the attempt ended in failure, leaving only hundreds of thousands of acres of canal fields and a whimsical joke.
But, at least the courage is commendable.
"Your Majesty: The minister thinks that what the prime minister said is extremely true! Your Majesty is worried about the world and wants to open up sources and reduce expenditures, which is also excellent! "The big farmer said slowly and logically, word by word, very methodically and rhythmically, this is also the occupational disease of people engaged in accounting.
"It's just that the minister has two questions, I don't know whether to say it or not......" He raised his head, looked at Liu Che, and asked.
"Aiqing, please say ......," Liu Che said with a smile on his face.
"Then Weichen will be brave...... Fan Xun kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Emperor Gao once ordered Yousi, and said: Measure the officials, measure the officials, and give it to the people!" Now Your Majesty wants to open the source, levy the tax of the merchant to help the Yuanyuan, the wisdom of the minister, the crude words, it is difficult to describe its beauty, but it is ...... Today, Your Majesty ignores the laws of your ancestors because of the use of the degree, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no one the next day, following Your Majesty's example, and extorting tyranny! ”
Liu Che's face suddenly became embarrassed.
Lao Liu's family has two ancestral laws, which are the same as the constitution, and no emperor dares to touch these two ancestral laws.
The first article is the foundation of Liu's world and the 'three chapters of the law' where the people's hearts are located.
The murderer dies, wounds and steals.
For decades, no matter who you are, no matter how high your status, you will definitely be severely punished by the law if you violate this iron law.
This second article is the instruction that Fan Xun said: measure the officials, measure the officials, and give them to the people!
The meaning of this instruction is very simple.
That is, the state tax, which should be collected from the people after calculating the officials' salaries and state expenditures in advance.
There is no doubt that this is a rigid, rigid and inflexible policy.
However, it was such a rigid and rigid instruction that protected the majority of the peasants in the world from being snatched away by the officials who had to eat the last bite.
For decades, this instruction has been the guiding spirit of the Han family's national taxation.
The Son of Heaven in the past dynasties was lightly endowed with small endowments, reducing the burden of the people and eliminating unnecessary waste to the greatest extent.
Now, Liu Che wants to increase taxes on vehicles, ships and mines, but he may make a hole in this iron law.
The so-called initiator, what is the aftermath?
Today, the emperor can ignore the laws of his ancestors, only for his own pleasure, and increase commercial taxes, so tomorrow he will change the emperor and want to build a garden and a pool, can he also bypass this instruction and increase taxes on farmers, merchants, or something?
Naturally, the rift will widen day by day, and eventually, it will collapse.
And this is something that all people with a conscience absolutely do not want to see.
It is also something that has been worried and feared by the old Huang faction for a long time. (To be continued.) )
