Chapter 1093: Only by patrolling abroad can we see the truth(1/2)
Guan Ning requested that the complicated etiquette be simplified, so he went directly to the government office without staying in the city for too long.
Qianlong's six trips to the south of the Yangtze River cost countless people.
It is not a good thing for the emperor to go on patrol, so Guan Ning tried his best to avoid this situation.
Fortunately, over the years, officials have all known his Majesty's style. He has always lived in seclusion and traveled incognito, and he has not paid much attention to ostentation.
If you pull any tricks, it will make His Majesty angry.
Even so, it still caused a lot of commotion.
All the officials from Mi Cang Mansion gathered here and knelt together.
The emperor is so high and mighty that ordinary officials cannot see him at will.
Just looking at it from a distance is already a great honor.
This is not an exaggeration.
Guan Ning didn't like this kind of scene.
"It's gone, it's gone."
Guan Ning looked at Fu Yin Zhou Tong and Fu Cheng Yang Juncai.
"You two will keep me company while everyone else goes back to perform their duties. I always don't like these pomps."
"I really don't like it."
He added another sentence.
Some officials thought this was a hint and made it more grand.
"yes!"
Zhou Tong touched the beads of sweat on his forehead and quickly dismissed them.
The emperor's visit is either a good thing or a bad thing.
This is definitely not a good thing for Mi Cang Mansion, which has just experienced a setback in summer tax collection.
Zhou Tong, the prefect's governor, was very frightened.
After explaining for a while, a large number of people were sent away, and things finally became quieter.
"I'm just passing by for a rest and have no other intentions. You don't need to be afraid."
Guan Ning said: "Relax a little bit."
Having said that, how dare you relax.
Fu Yin Zhou Tong and Fu Cheng Yang Juncai just had their buttocks slightly touching the seats, looking like they were sitting upright.
These two don't get along very well.
Zhou Tong is already sixty years old, but Yang Juncai looks like a young man.
"Juncai, how old are you now?"
Guan Ning asked.
But he is only twenty-seven this year.
"minister……"
Yang Juncai was slightly startled, he was really flattered by this title.
He hurriedly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am thirty-five this year."
"Very good, only young people can be energetic!"
The position of Fu Cheng was no longer considered a minor position, and when Guan Ning was promoted, there was a lot of opposition.
There are very few people who can reach this position without having white hair and beard, and very few middle-aged people.
Guan Ning is a conscious change.
After being around for a long time, the scholar-bureaucrats have become old fools, either lazy and negligent in government affairs, or making lofty speeches, all of which are false and not pragmatic.
At the beginning of the new dynasty, he promoted a large number of young officials, some of whom were his friends in the Imperial College, and some of whom were directly appointed. Over the years, they all made political achievements.
This was the overall pragmatic atmosphere created during the reign of Emperor Longjing. Many scholar-bureaucrats talked about benevolence, justice, propriety and wisdom, but in fact they only cared about business.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will certainly live up to your great trust."
Yang Juncai stood up.
He is really full of energy now!
Although I have offended many people, the road is right and wide...
Isn't it the best proof that he can reach the position of Fu Cheng in one step?
"I'm here to explain to you that we are going to implement farm laws across the country next year. What do you think?"
Zhou Tong's eyelids twitched.
The farm method is a nice name, but in fact it means dividing the land among local tyrants.
Your Majesty had to kill so many people before he caused the uproar in the south.
What Li Fu did in Yizhou was good, but it was just a copy of what he did in the army.
Does this apply everywhere?
Of course it doesn't apply.
Micang is known as the granary of Daning. The land is flat and fertile, but most of it is not in the hands of ordinary people.
This means taking something out of one person's pocket and giving it to another person. How can there be no contradiction?
Yang Juncai said: "I used to live in Beijing and enjoy a good life. It was only after I became a local official that I became aware of the sufferings of the people."
"Your Majesty, this job is not easy to handle!"
His face was solemn.
In fact, he was very clear about His Majesty's intention of promoting him and had already made up for the relevant matters.
"How to say?"
"If any government decree is to be implemented, it will eventually fall to the local government. The Farm Law mainly involves the gentry and landowners, the powerful and powerful... These people have been operating for a long time and are integrated with local forces. They may not necessarily do their best, and they may
Obstacle!"
Zhou Tong's eyelids twitched again.
I really dare to say whether I am young or not.
These words offended many officials.
"Your Majesty, I still feel that it is not suitable to implement it nationwide. In this case, your Majesty..."
Yang Juncai said no more.
But Guan Ning had already heard the hidden meaning.
Too many people have been offended.
"I don't even have an imperial estate, why should others have private estates?"
This is Guan Ning's confidence.
He has set a benchmark for himself. If my emperor doesn’t do this, why should you do it?
This is his confidence.
"Furthermore, the scale is difficult to grasp."
Yang Juncai added: "Nothing is too much or too little. I have visited many places recently and heard a saying."
"What rumor?"
Zhao Nanxing, who was listening on the sidelines, interrupted and asked, and also became interested.
He found that this young Fu Cheng was very capable.
"If you want to undermine the imperial decree, you don't need to resist or violate it. It's actually very simple!"
Yang Juncai took a deep breath and then spit out two words.
"Twice as much!"
"Twice as much!"
Zhao Nanxing's expression turned serious.
In fact, this is easy to understand.
Just treat it twice as hard!
Take the farm law as an example. It originally targeted only a small group of people, but what if this scope was expanded.
The level of landlords is not enough, and even middle peasants are included.
