Chapter 1731 Xue Qing: The minister is indeed not as good as Lu
"Yes, I am getting ready to go back."
Guan Ning spoke directly.
It's really time to go back, it's been almost three months since he came out.
The establishment of the new dynasty did not last long, and it was not appropriate to leave Beijing rashly, but the problems in the south should not be delayed for too long.
Why Guan Ning used such radical means was to improve efficiency and end it as soon as possible.
It took too long, and he was worried that something might go wrong in Shangjing.
But you have to settle in before leaving.
Just like maintaining a business is always more difficult than starting a business, the same is true for implementing new policies. Whether it can be implemented for a long time is the key.
He must have someone he can rely on to maintain this achievement.
Yongzheng once proposed that the officials and gentry should be responsible for paying the grain as one, but in fact it was not implemented.
Guan Ning didn't want this result, so he came to supervise the matter in person.
I believe Zhao Nanxing can do it. He has the status, influence and ability.
The key is that he recognizes the New Deal and is willing to implement it...
Thinking of this, Guan Ning spoke again: "There is one thing you should pay more attention to."
"You said."
"Legacy from the previous dynasty!"
Guan Ning spit out four words.
"We must spare no effort to crack down on this, and deal with it as soon as we find it."
Guan Ning stared at him closely.
"You should be interested, right?"
"Your Majesty, please keep this in mind."
Zhao Nanxing couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Once the emperor, there are always ministers.
Any emperor who ascends the throne will wipe out and attack the legacy of the previous dynasty. He has no choice but to agree.
Moreover, His Majesty put him in such high regard and gave him the opportunity to display his ambitions. This was a great kindness that he could not repay.
I can only do my best to complete the errands assigned by His Majesty and maintain his rule.
When he accepted the appointment, he was already branded as Emperor Yuanwu and had no choice.
"I know you will be under great pressure and a lot of criticism, and I believe you can do a good job."
This is also a practical issue.
Zhao Nanxing was once the master of the Lotus Pavilion, and his influence was not weaker than that of Zhu Tong.
Now that he is being used by himself and is mainly promoting the New Deal, he is the biggest traitor in the eyes of those people.
Zhao Nanxing will inevitably be reviled and become a thorn in his side.
"To ensure your safety, I will arrange a team of royal guards to protect you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Nanxing knew clearly that protection was one of them, and there should also be surveillance.
Guan Ning asked again: "Do you know Lingyan Pavilion?"
"Know."
Lingyan Pavilion was established after the founding of the new dynasty in order to commend those who had made great contributions to the country. His paintings were put in to show his recognition. Even a hundred years later, future generations will remember it.
It is the highest honor for being an official or a minister.
Guan Ning said: "Do it well. Once you do it, I will leave a place for you in Lingyan Pavilion. I will make you the real leader of literati!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Nanxing knelt on the ground.
He, who had always been calm, was extremely excited at this moment.
Everyone has their own pursuits, and of course they cannot escape the word name.
The same is true for Zhao Nanxing.
He can no longer escape from his own hands and will definitely do his best to complete the mission.
There is mutual respect between monarch and ministers.
A minister serves the emperor because his needs can be met by the emperor.
Zhao Nanxing didn't have much desire for money. Guan Ning checked in detail and found that when others were amassing money, he didn't participate at all.
He does not seek profit, but pursues fame.
Guan Ning would just give him a name and he would be dead set.
This is the way to rule.
"Get up."
Guan Ning continued to talk with Zhao Nanxing about the development plans of various places after the war and his own thoughts, etc.
The conversation was very pleasant.
The next day, a big piece of news came out.
Zhao Nanxing was appointed as the prefect of Jiangzhou and had a special supervisory envoy responsible for supervising the implementation of the New Deal in the six southern states.
This incident spread and shocked various places.
Because no one thought that in this incident, it would be Zhao Nanxing who truly landed safely!
What is his identity?
Which of the Qingliu Party members under investigation can get away with him?
Congratulations on being killed by the ten clans, he is within the scope of being implicated...
However, it is simply incomprehensible that he was used in such a high position and given such a high position.
No matter what, Zhao Nanxing still took over.
There was a huge vacancy of officials in Jiangzhou. During that day's interrogation and execution, all the important officials including Zhou Mu and Zhou Cheng were punished.
Now it is starting to be added one after another.
The young people like Han Gui brought by Guan Ning have all stayed in the local area to serve. This is a rare opportunity for them.
Many people were nominated by Zhao Nanxing. He is familiar with the situation here and knows who is available.
Guan Ning didn't interfere too much.
Restoring administrative stability is the top priority.
Guan Ning also proposed a change.
In fact, ancient governance has been in a state of coexistence of official government and people's government for a long time.
Government by the people means the participation of local forces such as gentry and wealthy people, which is mostly the case in small places such as rural areas.
In Guan Ning's view, this is also a main reason for land annexation.
Many times, these people cannot truly make decisions for the people, but instead facilitate their oppression.
Therefore, Guan Ning decided to gradually eliminate this situation and increase the number of basic officials...
We have experienced the collection of commercial taxes, the anti-corruption campaign, and the implementation of the New Deal. Although these are all changes for the better, they have also caused great damage to the six southern states.
Especially when the commercial tax was first collected, Guan Ning deliberately let it go and lost order in the process.
These are all blamed on Guan Ning.
Except for the common people, everyone else secretly scolded Guan Ning.
He was even described as a robber and called the Robber Emperor.
However, this kind of behavior is indeed banditry, and the main purpose is to collect money from the officials, squires and merchants.
It's being counted now.
The taxes collected from various places were uniformly collected and sent to the prefectural government, which was then counted and sent to Shangjing.
Outsiders say that it made everyone poor, but made Emperor Yuanwu rich, which actually made the country rich.
It's time to change.
At the beginning, special circumstances forced us to use some radical measures.
When collecting business taxes, they don't care about the profits, they just collect them by force, and they exploit them layer by layer.
There are also executives who use his name to show off their power and seek benefits for themselves.
Because Guan Ning said that if someone resists and disobeys, it can be said to be his order.
But during the execution process, it was distorted and used.
The tax was collected, but it also had a very bad impact, especially the large number of Wang Lun and his men who were used in the process.
These people were once stragglers and had many bad habits, but now they let themselves go.
It is normal to ask for food and money, use force to do errands, and intercept people without permission, causing people to complain a lot.
Guan Ning has received many such reports recently.
Violence is a solution to problems, but it is not a long-term solution.
It must be restrained by legal systems and regulations formed. This is the long-term solution.
Correct the atmosphere and stabilize order.
