Why did the officials of the Ming Dynasty respect their lyrics?

Yizi Cichen will continue to study knowledge from the day he entered the officialdom, systematically learn the way to govern the country and ensure national stability, and even participated in military and national affairs earlier.

A Ci minister is a moral example for scholars all over the world. The previous examinations are usually held by Ci ministers, and the host naturally becomes the mentor of the new Jinshi, thus obtaining an unparalleled political resource.

Although Guo Pu was the Minister of Personnel, he was even more favored by the emperor and was already above Wushan. However, when it comes to personal reputation and qualifications, he is still at a disadvantage.

The most important thing is that Wu Shan successfully presided over an examination as the Minister of Rites four years ago, and he was ranked behind the cabinet minister Yuan Wei, at least six.

We will only have the opportunity to host the exam after the New Year.

Compared with Wu Shan, there are too many behind Wu Shan at this point.

In addition, Wu Shan also had a disciple and son-in-law who was so good at calculating and had already become the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture. He really couldn't get into this same year when he was too upright.

"You sit down!" Wu Shan was not surprised that the disciples chose to leave. He raised his hand and said lightly to Lin Qingran.

Lin Xuran nodded gently to Guo Pu, who was looking at him, then saluted Wu Shan and sat down solemnly.

He is now the prefect of Shuntian. Now Wu Shan pulled him down, so naturally he did not recommend his son-in-law to Guo Pu. The reason why he was invited to sit here is more because of Wu Shan's trust and recognition.

Whether it is his potential or his relationship with Wu Shan’s father-in-law and son-in-law, he is already a successor to Wu Shan’s political resources.

After Wu Shan asked Lin Qingran to sit down, he then looked at Guo Pu and asked: "Master, what are the best solutions for the defects of the canal transportation?"

Lin Qingran then realized that Wu Shan was asking Guo Pu for advice because he was about to become the Minister of Revenue. From this point of view, the relationship between the two was quite good.

Guo Pu was somewhat similar to Wu Shan. Especially when talking about the serious business, he seemed extremely devoted and immediately gave a decisive answer and said: "Yes!"

Wu Shan and Lin Qingran cast their eyes for inquiries and raised their ears to listen.

Guo Pu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and immediately said, "One: If the annual grain transportation is not severe, no matter how much the disaster is, you should not easily discuss the change of the goods; the other is: If the grain transportation is poor, in addition to interrogating them as usual,

The third sentence is to strictly limit the pursuit; the third sentence: if the grain ship is floating, the worker must be supervised to rebuild it. The company will pay the silver to replenish the grain, and the official flag will not infringe on the name of the official flag. If these three points can be achieved, the grain can be cured for 40% of the damage.

!”

At the end, he looked at Wu Shan sincerely, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Compared with the officials of the six ministries who pursue fame and fortune, or the kedao censors who are good at speaking skills to gain the upper hand, the ci ministers are more "pragmatic" and are determined to display their political ambitions.

Guo Pu probably has long seen the disadvantages of the grain transportation, but he is still the Minister of Personnel and cannot implement this idea at all. Now Wu Shan is about to become the Minister of Revenue, and he may also want to use Wu Shan's hands to realize his

Political philosophy.

Lin Weiran looked at all this like a bystander, just keeping no comments.

Shuntian Prefecture was not a grain-producing area. It was just that with the grand wish of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty to "the emperor guards the country's gate", a new Ducheng was built in this desolate land and moved the imperial palace and the central government office here.

In order to meet the grain needs of the million people in the capital, the military food needs of the border troops, and the storage of the imperial court's grain, the Grand Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal became the most important route for transporting grain in the Ming Dynasty.

Every year, the imperial court obtained millions of stones of grain from six provinces in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, Henan and Shandong, which supported the stability and prosperity of the capital.

However, this lifeline of the Ming Dynasty has already grown a large number of maggots. In order to successfully transport millions of grain to the capital, the cost of investing in the construction and maintenance of the Grand Canal in the capital every year is actually as high as 80%.

Such huge transportation expenses are naturally criticized by everyone, but this situation has never been cured, and the expenses are even rising every year.

The governance measures proposed by Guo Pu are aimed at the three phenomena of "false reporting", "delinquency" and "scam reimbursement". This is naturally not a cure, but it does effectively reduce transportation costs.

Wu Shan thought about Guo Pu's suggestions, and faced Guo Pu Xiji's gaze, but looked at Guo Pu and answered the question with irrelevant questions: "Master, what do you think Hu Zhi, the current Censor of the Cao Transportation Commission, can it be used more?"

The so-called Censor of the Grain Transportation Commission, namely the Censor of the Governor of the Grain Transportation Commission and the Governor of Fengyang, is responsible for the transportation of grain, and has management power over the local area. Yan Song's brother-in-law Ouyang Bijin took up this position, and his power is not only to be said to be

Not big.

Hu Zhi, the current Censor of the Cao Transportation Commission, holds the title of the third-rank right deputy Censor of the Censor. He is a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. He is a village party in Jiangxi, and is deeply stamped with the chrome seal of the strict party.

"It's unbearable to use it! But..." Guo Pu shook his head with a wry smile, but his words came to an abrupt end.

In the eyes of officials in this era, if the problem of administration can be solved, all problems will be solved easily, and even the great rule of the world during the Zhou Dynasty will be restored.

If you want to solve the problem of canal transportation at present, you should naturally start with the censor of the canal transportation and arrange a smart and capable Qingliu to take the post, rather than a "corrupt official" like Hu Zhi.

When Guo Pu proposed the political idea of ​​rectifying the canal transportation, Wu Shan also expressed his expectations, hoping that Guo Pu could transfer Hu Zhi away and replace him with an upright official, so as to solve the various disadvantages of the canal transportation with drastic measures.

"I can propose these three strategies to the court, but Wu Zhi is still the chief censor of the canal transportation. The disadvantages of canal transportation cannot be eliminated!" Wu Shan looked up at Guo Pu and said seriously.

Although these governance measures are good, the censor of the canal transportation does not implement it, or the decision is lip service. No matter how good the canal management strategy is, it will be useless.

The biggest problem at the moment is that the court should remove mediocre or treacherous ministers and replace them with real capable ministers and officials, so that the disadvantages of the grain transportation can be eliminated.

Guo Pu picked up the teacup, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Brother Jing, although I am the Minister of Personnel, I still can't do it now if I want to change Wu Zhi rashly!"

"I know!" Wu Shan nodded gently, and said with a look of disappointment in his eyes.
