After Xu Ping said that, Kou and Zhang Cunhao didn't speak for a long time.

It was not until Wang Weizheng came in and saw the courtesy with several people. This was the old commander Xu Ping entered the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. At this time, he became a colleague and naturally he was extremely intimate and no longer had the restraint he had back then.

Although the deputy envoys of the three departments had the character "subject", they were actually the heads of each department. If it were not for the current system, when the three provinces and six ministries were systemed, each deputy envoy would be equivalent to the six ministers of the court, and a real high-ranking official. However, in this era, low-ranking positions and high-ranking officials were popular, and many officials served as the transfer envoys and the judges and deputy envoys of the three departments. In addition, administrative powers were concentrated in the hands of the prime minister under the Secretariat, and there were three ministers on their heads, and each deputy envoy was far less powerful than the six ministers of the Secretariat.

Kou said the words just now to Wang Weizheng again and asked, "What do you think about Hui Meng?"

Wang Weizheng sat down and held the tea for a while and said, "The natural disaster has been completed. If we do not attract the most public grievances, it seems that we can only follow the household charcoal. No matter what, the charcoal will not reach the hands of the poor."

In fact, except for Xu Ping, the other three people had an idea in their minds. When things got to this point, if Xu Ping had not proposed the rationing system, then the public grievance would have been public grievances. It would be better to be strongly suppressed. But Xu Ping proposed this method, and no one would have stood up to oppose it without any other way, otherwise no one could afford to wear a hat that disregarded people's livelihood.

Kou asked again: "It is easier said than done by charcoal per household. Can the officials who handle it believe it? How much charcoal is appropriate for each household? How to prevent someone from establishing a false account? All these things must be prepared."

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

Anyone can think of such a simple idea of ​​how to make it. If you only know how to speak nonsense, Xu Ping would be in vain in the Sansi Yamen.

Xu Ping looked at the three of them, carefully considered his words, and slowly said, "It is difficult to pursue perfect things in the world. If there are no mistakes, nothing can be done. As long as you grasp the general trend and achieve the desired effect, you cannot be too particular about the small omissions. I think so, how much charcoal needs to be distributed in each household, first, you need to see how much charcoal can be collected in Kaifeng Prefecture, and then roughly speculate how many days there will be warmer. The charcoal cannot shine all at once, and you must always leave some preparations and count them. As for the various ills that will occur during the process of charcoal production, to be honest, I cannot prevent them all. It can only be a warning in advance and a heavy punishment afterwards. It is nothing more than a household's protection, and a reward afterwards."

The big difference between this era and Xu Ping's previous life is that the people have unlimited obligations to the country or the emperor. This is how mutual protection occurs. If something happens to a family, several families are punished and forced the people to supervise each other. Speaking of which, the people have the obligation to help the court supervise? But this is the case in this era, and the people must obey unconditionally.

As for allowing the people to report and give rewards, it is even more embarrassing. In theory, literati and doctors hate informants, believing that they are corrupt and luring the people into trash. But in fact, in this era, in tax collection and household registration, they have widely encouraged informants, and there are also rewards of varying amounts.

How can you not pay a price when doing things? If you don’t want to pay a price, you can’t do anything.

After Xu Ping said that, Kou and the other two thought about it for a while, and had to do so.

Xu Ping's words were not very innovative, but they ensured that it was basically feasible to distribute charcoal per household. As long as poor people can be prevented from being frozen and hungry on a large scale, they can only endure some bad things.

After discussions at the Zhengshi Hall, it was decided to distribute charcoal in households inside and outside the Kaifeng City. On several major principles, the distribution of charcoal is only as good as the private households, not as good as the official households; only the sixth and sixth grades are households, and the fifth grade is above, and the upper households are not available; monks and Taoists and miscellaneous households do not provide charcoal; female households do not divide households, and all the charcoal are all equipped; when distributing charcoal is combined, the five households are in the joint guarantee, and the five households are wrong, and the five are punished.

At this time, the Fanggu households can be roughly equal to Xu Ping's urban household registration in his previous life, with ten levels, and the upper fifth grade is basically rich families, while the lower fifth grade is poor. This is how the households are divided into two from the middle. In fact, according to the number of households, most families in the city are at the lower fifth grade. As for some other special households, the number of people is actually very small.

The charcoal was handled by Kaifeng Prefecture, and the Censorate sent someone to supervise it. The eunuchs led the Imperial City Office to participate. It seemed that the various yamen were restraining and supervising each other. In fact, there were still various minor problems, but at least they had overcome the crisis.

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

Yan Shu, the deputy governor of the political affairs, was first attacked, and was dismissed from participating in politics and came to Yingtian Prefecture.

Yan Shu was always careful as an official, wandering among various political forces, and no one on all sides would offend him. His withdrawal from politics had nothing to do with political struggles, but purely because of his unlucky and his cautious personality.

It turned out that when Concubine Li Chen died, Yan Shu was a Hanlin scholar. The lyrics he made for Concubine Li Chen included the words "Concubine Chen without a queen". Now that the emperor recognized his mother, this is a very rebellious word. Some ministers also believed that as a Hanlin scholar, Yan Shu could not have known that Concubine Chen was the emperor's biological mother, but just that his participation in politics was still relatively lenient.

The reason why this matter is blamed on his own personality is that there is an example of Lu Yijian. At that time, the empress dowager wanted to dig a palace wall to celebrate the funeral of Li Chenfei, but Lu Yijian repeatedly stopped him. However, Yan Shu did not dare to vaguely write this matter in the lyrics, so that he left a handle.

The second person who was dismissed was Wang Sui, the assistant minister of the government, who criticized Xu Ping for his memorial "literary and scientific absurdity". As a result, not only did the prices in the capital rise, but the storm of carbon prices rising to the sky also occurred. Fortunately, Lu Yijian was alert and later made up for it, but Wang Sui resigned and did not implicate others.

The third person who was dismissed was Prime Minister Li Di. People with Lu Yijian repeatedly discussed it. Li Di improperly dealt with Xu Ping's memorial on charcoal, which almost caused a disaster. Li Di was the governor of Yunzhou as his official position and left the court.

Two of the three prime ministers who were dismissed were related to Xu Ping. After this incident, Xu Ping completely stood firm in the court.

Lu Yijian was promoted from the second prime minister to the prime minister, and brought the Grand Secretary of Zhaowenguan and supervised the national history. Another former minister of Zhao Zhen was the crown prince, Zhang Shixun, who was the old minister of Xuzhou, was then admitted to the Political Affairs Hall, and brought the Grand Secretary of Jixian Hall as the Grand Secretary.

After many years, Lu Yijian finally took office as prime minister again.

The deputy envoy of Privy Councilor Cai Qi and Hanlin scholar Zhang Dexiang were appointed as the deputy envoy of the government. The old Sheng Du asked Zhao Zhen to sit in the position of the magistrate when he was alive, and served as the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor on behalf of Cai Qi.

This priest team may be a bit inconsistent no matter how you look at it, and Zhang Shixun is not as good as Li Di. No one can check or balance the power of Lu Yijian in the priest team. Then Zhao Zhen agreed to the elderly Wang Shu to retire, and the free Privy Councilor will be taken over by Wang Zeng, who was in Henan Prefecture.

Now, the only person in the entire Song Dynasty who made Lu Yijian respect, fear, and guard against all kinds of complex emotions was the only person in Qingzhou who returned to the court again.
