The two nephews and uncles discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't come up with anything. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Xiaoyi sincerely left the meal, so Wu Yun made a fuss about it. After eating wine, he took the two big ones that Zhang Gui had picked out.
The fish staggered away.
The next day, news came that because the scholars in Fucheng had joined forces to resist the tax, the leading ones were beaten up by Ling Shihong, a scholar from Guangdong, and their honors were taken away. This suddenly stirred up a hornet's nest, and all the scholars in Guangdong rushed to Guangzhou. It was said that they were going to Guangzhou.
Weeping Confucius Temple.
Cai Ruxian, the governor of Guangdong, was on his way to Guangzhou. He was shocked when he heard the news. He called Sui Yong and Ling Shihong, the prefects of Guangzhou, to the governor's office. He first lost his temper at Ling Shihong and then said to Sui Yong: "Please make efforts to appease your government, otherwise if
We all have something to do with the large-scale 'crying temple'!".
Ling Shihong, courtesy name Chengzhao, was a Jinshi in the 35th year of Jiajing reign. Now he has passed his destiny. He has been working hard in the officialdom for nearly 30 years and has reached the fourth rank of Jinxue Dao with the title of deputy envoy. At this time, he did not respond to Cai Ruxian's scolding.
No explanation.
According to the law, even though the academic officer is a local official, the governor is not allowed to interfere in academic affairs. However, since all those who enter the academic supervisor's way still have the title of deputy envoy or minister, it is appropriate for the governor to reprimand him - so-called
Governors are not allowed to interfere in academic affairs, which actually means that governors are not allowed to ask people to take entrance exams, etc. Ling Shihong caused instability in the place, and Futai could only get away with scolding him.
Sui Yong, the prefect of Guangzhou, was born in a bitter family. Before he became prosperous, his family was poor. Although he has been an official for many years and has a rich eunuch, the shadow of his youth is too great, and he still has a vague hatred of the rich. Seeing Cai Ruxian's harsh words towards Ling Shihong, he also ordered
He "appeased" himself, he snorted coldly in his heart, raised his hands to Cai Ruxian and said: "Futai, although Ling Xuedao has been a little arrogant, the official thinks that what he did is not out of character!"
"In the tenth year of Wanli, the imperial court issued the "Edict on the Management Measures for Private School Licensing", ordering students all over the world to "abide by Zhongni's four do's and don'ts". Anyone who disobeys the teacher's teachings, makes false claims about his position, engages in private litigation, or even intimidates the government will be punished.
It should be strictly forbidden to enter the Supervisory School in all places. 'Now students in the government are collaborating to interfere with our province's tax reform policy. What Ling Xuedao did is to uphold the academic style and kill the evil spirit. The lower officials think that there is no big mistake!"
The strong words made Cai Ruxian's face flash with anger. He said with a straight face: "Prefect of the Sui Dynasty, when we govern, we must uphold the emperor's will. He Xinyin vindicated, Guo Siji judged others, the emperor has a clear intention to treat scholars well.
——" He added an accent to the word magistrate, intending to remind his subordinates to distinguish between big and small.
Sui rolled his triangular eyes and sneered: "What Futai said is this. Guo Siji created an unjust case, and He Xinyin was killed. According to the law, it should not be exiled. If the imperial court really wants to 'prey the scholar', no one will kill him."
You can't make a mistake! Only one was exiled and his home was not raided. It can be seen that Shangyi has not changed since Wanli ten years ago." He also added an accent to the word "Yourong", which was a small compliment to his superior.
Return the favor.
Before his boss could refute, he continued: "Besides, what is the biggest goal now? I thought it was 'tax reform'! When the Great Reform first started, the scholars supported by the landlords in the south of the Yangtze River encouraged the scholars and supported the big names in the south of the Yangtze River.
You have seen the result, Futai."
...
As Sui Yong talked, Ling Shihong's mouth opened wider and wider. Because he usually regarded himself as Qingliu, he looked down on the Sui magistrate who was born in mud. Although they were both in the fourth grade, they occupied Qingliu when they entered the Superintendent Road.
Hua Xuan, who is also older than Sui Yong, usually has a sense of superiority, so the two of them don't deal with each other very much.
Unexpectedly, in the face of Cai Ruxian's scolding, even though he was not doing well, the irrelevant person like the Sui Prefect went berserk. Ling Shihong felt mixed emotions and secretly vowed in his heart that he must be brothers with the Sui Prefect in the future.
Cai Ruxian's face was full of greenness at first, but as Sui Yong laid out the truth one by one, his complexion first turned from green to red, and then returned to normal. Later, the corners of his mouth moved upward, turning into a very warm smile.
When Sui Yong finished speaking, Cai Ruxian pointed at him with a smile and said: "What a Sui Zhuangyou, I just said 'comfort', look at your big tricks, I can't even get a word in - according to you
What should I do?" He smiled, leaning his neck towards Sui Yong, and bending his body, as if he was sincerely asking for advice.
When Sui Yong saw his superior, Corporal Li Xian, getting up, he also changed his expression to Hao Ran's, bowed his hands on the chair and said in salute: "This official doesn't hesitate to speak, please forgive me, Mr. Futai."
"I don't know about your explosive temper? You don't need to elaborate-" Cai Futai sat upright, picked up the tea cup and drank slowly. Although Sui Yong was told not to elaborate, he changed the subject and said: "Zhuang
It’s good to have this title, but is it derived from the word ‘daozhixing’ in the Book of Rites?”
"Futai is full of poems and books, and his economics is in the palm of his hand. What he said is right. The title of Xiaguan comes from "Strength is useful", but it just means self-improvement."
"Well, good! A good name, a good nickname, and a good job as an official!"
"Ashamed, ashamed, ashamed to be praised by Futai, and humbled by Huagong."
Ling Shihong continued to open his mouth and said with shame: "How did I get to the fourth rank? No wonder it took thirty years to become a Ti Xue, my future use in the Sui Dynasty will be limitless!" He secretly vowed not only to be brothers with the Sui Prefect, but also to be his brother from now on.
To please him.
The governor's attitude changed, and the magistrate's arrogance was revealed. The two of them talked in the alley, and Ling Shihong, the instigator, became a spectator. After listening to the two of them talking about the tax reform for a while, he finally couldn't help but said: "Fu
Mr. Taiwanese, I wonder what the regulations are for this 'Crying Temple' thing?"
Cai Ruxian heard the question and gave him a disgusted look, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Sui Yong. Sui Yong pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Master Futai, I think this matter can be dealt with in multiple ways."
Both Cai Ruxian and Ling Shihong were willing to hear the details. Sui Yongdao said: "The imperial court's decree for us in Guangdong is a pilot project. Over the years, my subordinates have repeatedly criticized it. Any 'pilot' is probably a big advantage." Cai Ruxian was more interested when he heard it.
, with a big smile on his face.
"First of all, it is cheap to govern in places like ours. If there is a pilot project and there is a little trouble under the governance, as long as the content of the pilot project can be mentioned, the imperial court will often let it go, so as not to chill the courage of the local people to do things. This is
One."
"Secondly, money is cheap. For example, when the reform was first launched, Zhongxing County asked the king to clean up the world's unruly people. His hometown, Jiangling, was the first to experiment. People at the time said that he was the first to set an example. What was the result? After half of the clearing, he passed the exam.
And after it is fully rolled out, those who can't do 80% or less in various places will be considered as failed!"
"Once again, local officials are at their advantage. In recent years, the imperial court has had personnel changes, and all the local officials who have done well in the experiment have been promoted - I checked, and there is no exception!"
After saying this, Cai Ruxian breathed heavily. He touched his beard and said with a smile, "Is this true?"
Sui Yong replied: "Futai High School was admitted to the Qingliu Huaxuan, and he has been serving as an official in Beijing these years. I don't know that there are also such things in local officialdom. Those of us who started from county magistrates, how can we just lower our heads and do coolies? We are always working hard.
You have to look up at the direction of the court - after Mr. Liang Menglong entered the cabinet, we all said that the direction of the court has changed, and that local officials will have a bright future, so why don't we just look at the newspaper and see clearly?"
Then he gently flattered him and said: "Futai was appointed as a local official from the capital, which is in line with the principle of 'the prime minister starts from the prefecture and county'. If the tax reform pilot is completed, the position of minister will be just around the corner. If the holy family is excellent,
It’s not an unreasonable thought to join the cabinet.”
When Cai Ruxian heard this, he was overjoyed at first, and then murmured to himself: "This mud-legged guy is a village custom, and his speech is so straightforward that it makes the disgusting thing next to him look down on him." He glanced at the disgusting thing next to him, surnamed Ling, and saw him.
His mouth was wide open, as if he wanted to worship Sui Yong, and he felt even more disgusted in his heart.
But he said with a smile on his face: "Zhuang You is ridiculous, I don't dare to think so." I was afraid that he would say those scratchy words again, so I asked: "Zhuang You, tell me about the 'Crying Temple'
Is the plan going to work out?"
Sui Yong said with a smile: "The Ming court has already planned what it wants to do with Futai, so we have a clear idea of how to deal with it. The lower officials have only a brief introduction, so we should just offer some advice -"
"The so-called 'rebellion by scholars only takes three years'. They are just helpless and helpless people, what can they do? In the past, those who could make trouble could only control the government and bully the county magistrates through 'clear discussion'. Nowadays,
Whether we, the local officials, can advance depends entirely on passing the examination - even if the 'Qing Conference' is not smelly, as long as we pass the examination, we will definitely be promoted within three to five years."
Today, Cai Ruxian was simply taught a lesson by his subordinate magistrate, and he was dumbfounded. Sui Yong continued: "Perhaps they can mobilize public opinion, and the subordinates think that there is no need to worry about this issue - now that public opinion is fierce, everyone thinks that industry and commerce can use the reform to
Dongfeng has made a lot of money, but he also cheats and cheats, and is unkind for the sake of wealth. As the saying goes, he is not worried about the scarcity but the inequality. These people have long been envied and jealous, and the bitter people wish they had some bad luck to watch the fun - these big measures
How big of a wave can it make?"
At this time, Cai Ruxian was as if he was enlightened and kept saying wonderful things! Sui Yong was praised by his superiors, so he grinned and said, "Actually, I have been prepared for this."
Cai Ruxian was already convinced by the Sui magistrate, and asked him what preparations he had made. Sui Yong's triangular eyes were full of teasing, and he smiled and said: "Wait until they enter the city, so and so." Cai Ruxian and Ling Shihong laughed after hearing his advice.
