Chapter 1114: If we apply it to the whole country, how can we solve the disadvantages?
Ningguo Mansion
The sky was dark with twilight, and a bright moon had climbed onto the top of the sycamore tree without knowing when, and the moonlight shone in the courtyard.
Sure enough, when Jia Heng entered the brightly lit study room, he saw a slim girl with a pure and charming temperament behind the desk.
Chen Xiao was holding a book and pretending to flip through it. When he saw the young man, he frowned and said with a cold glint in his clear eyes, "He's back."
Just now, we went to Zhujin Tower, and then we went to Daoxiang Village when we came back.
Jia Heng looked at the girl, looking at her uncomfortably. He glanced at the dirt on the boots and said softly: "Xiaoxiao is becoming more and more invisible."
Just now Xiaoxiao was clearly helping him look out for the wind.
He now suspected that Xiaoxiao had installed a positioning device on him.
In fact, Jia Heng's guess was correct. Jia Heng's body was marked with Chen Xiao's special fragrance.
Chen Xiao snorted coldly, a slight blush appeared on his cheeks, and said sarcastically: "It's because you don't know how to behave.
How can you do this in front of someone's deceased husband's relics? It's simply ridiculous.
Jia Heng came closer, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said in a warm voice as if nothing had happened, "Is there any new information about Jinyi Mansion today?"
Chen Xiao said in a clear voice: "Your memorial was delivered to the palace. As soon as the four new policies came out, the whole capital has been in an uproar. All the officials in the capital have discussed it."
Jia Heng put down the tea cup in his hand, looked a little deeper, and said: "Discussions are inevitable. It is impossible to say that in the past few days, there have been some officials from the imperial court who have opposed the new policy and called it a tyrannical government."
Chen Xiao raised his eyes to look at the young man and said, "It's a big wedding these days. You should be more calm. Do you really think Xianning and Chanyue won't be jealous?"
This is a double entendre.
Jia Heng smiled, looked into his eyes that were like a clear spring, and said, "Xiaoxiao is jealous, right?"
Chen Xiaoyu's face turned slightly red and she said angrily: "Who would be jealous of you?"
If you are so jealous, you won’t be able to finish it every day.
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment, then changed the topic and said: "Your four new policies will soon spread all over the country. Do you really want to implement them nationwide? Will it attract opposition from the people all over the world?"
Not to mention other things, the clearing of land and the sharing of land between tenants would probably arouse a backlash from the gentry all over the world.
Jia Heng said firmly: "It is both a danger and an opportunity. I was still doubtful at first, but I have to take action when the arrow is ready. Whether it is implemented nationwide, this is a national policy that will definitely succeed."
At that time, he was bound to gain great political prestige.
Chen Xiao said: "You have to be careful. If it works, everyone will be happy."
Jia Heng took the girl's hand and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, as long as we work steadily and from small to large, the New Deal will definitely be successful."
While the two were talking, Qingwen entered the study and called Jia Heng to take a bath. Jia Heng went to take a bath without saying another word.
When I came back from the Grand View Garden, I ordered my maid to go look for the mandarin ducks and not go there today.
Grand View Garden, Daoxiang Village
After Jia Heng left, Li Wan's face was as beautiful as a flower, with a rose-red aura from her face to her beautiful neck, and a thrilling and charming aura flowing from her originally gentle brows and corners of her eyes.
The young lady Hua Xin looked at the banner hanging on the bookcase with her beautiful eyes. Her eyes couldn't help but fall on the soaked and messy seal. It kept ticking, as if it had been burned. Her heart was beating loudly and her jade cheeks were embarrassed.
Interspersed.
Secretly, there was a cry of injustice.
She straightened her clothes and walked towards the embroidered couch in the inner compartment with her body as soft as a silkworm. As she walked, the beauty suddenly felt something strange. Her mind moved slightly and she was secretly annoyed. She quickly put the embroidered shoes under her horse-faced skirt together.
At this moment, the personal maids Suyun and Biyue entered the house with blushing faces. They quickly opened the windows to disperse the lingering atmosphere, and looked towards the incense cage where ice silk and agarwood were placed, and the green smoke was burning.
The smoke filled the room with a faint aroma.
Li Wan was half-lying on the bed, leaning his neck on a pillow. The bun on his head was much messy. His face was as red as rouge, his nose and temples were dripping with sweat, his mouth was slightly breathy, and he was momentarily absent-minded.
Suddenly, he sighed softly.
"Grandma, this banner..." Suyun blushed with embarrassment and said with a trembling voice.
"Put it away." Li Wan said feebly, feeling extremely embarrassed.
She was really embarrassed to see anyone in front of Uncle Naheng.
Then Uncle Heng would do well to kill her from now on.
Suyun was a little curious and murmured: "Grandma, this is all soaked in water."
Li Wan was lying lazily. When he heard this, he was filled with embarrassment and secretly spat. His sweet voice seemed to have a trace of trembling crying, and he said: "Then you can roll it up first."
She needed to slow down now, her legs were weak and her heart was very flustered.
This calligraphy and painting can no longer be hung.
The beauty calmed down her rapid breathing and closed her eyes slightly. It seemed that the unforgettable struggle to death reappeared in her heart, and finally turned into a flow that seemed to be the Milky Way. She became increasingly restless and ashamed.
That person just liked to mess with her.
She is also... for Lan'er.
However, the gentle words and the inability to let go of the man just now entangled the beauty's heart like a mess.
Li Wan opened his beautiful eyes, his plump and charming jade cheeks were slightly hot, and he sighed again.
After the two maids cleaned up the mess, Biyue said: "Grandma, the hot water has been prepared."
Li Wan softly said "Hmm", stood up, looked at the calligraphy and paintings that had not been put away by the bookcase, and said in a trembling voice: "Suyun, put those... away."
Looking at those words now, my heart is in a state of confusion.
Hearing this, Su Yun was stunned for a moment, then called Bi Yue and put away the calligraphy and painting.
Time flies, and before you know it, several days have passed. The marriage between Jia Heng, Princess Xianning, and Princess Qinghe is getting closer and closer. Jia Heng is also preparing for the wedding ceremony with all his strength, and there are memorials to Jia Heng in the capital.
It has fermented rapidly and the city is full of uproar.
And just when the city of Shenjing was in an uproar over the imperial examination scandal and the Four Articles of the New Deal——
Jinling, Liangjiang Governor’s Office
It was morning on this day, and the golden morning light fell on the well-organized government buildings, while the small officials in the courtyard were coming in and out, making it look like a busy place.
The birds in the courtyard were chirping non-stop, occasionally accompanied by the chirping of cicadas.
Gao Zhongping had just finished breakfast and was sitting in the hall of the back house. He picked up the blue auspicious cloud tea cup and ordered the clerk: "Go to the inn and get the newspaper delivered from the nearest city of Shenjing."
When the clerk heard this, he quickly turned around and left.
Gao Zhongping took a sip of tea, and the ruby ring in his hand shone brightly in the sunlight. This favorite of Emperor Chongping, now the governor of Liangjiang, was nearly fifty years old. He was tall and tall, with a black beard under his chin, dignified and serious.
The condensed face is covered with the wind and frost of the years, the nasolabial folds are deep, and there is some thought in the tiger eyes under the thick eyebrows.
At this time, there were two scribe-like officials sitting opposite. One was a middle-aged scholar in his thirties, and the other was Kuang Shouzheng, Gao Zhongping's staff. He had an elegant face, thin eyebrows and deep eyes, with shrewdness flashing from time to time in his eyes.
color.
Kuang Shouzheng spoke first and said: "Dong Weng, as soon as the memorial is published, the court is bound to be in an uproar, especially the gentry from Jiangnan. They are used to living a good life, and now they are under the control of the government, and they are even more angry. Students
I heard that there is a flood of bullets from the imperial censor in the capital, and everything depends on the ruling of the central emperor."
Another old man with a goatee, Wu Xiancheng, twirled his beard with his hand and said: "Dong Weng, if the whip method is effective in Sichuan, it will also work here. If the two rivers are popularized and implemented nationwide, then the country will
Your finances will no longer be burdened by embarrassment.”
Gao Zhongping nodded and said: "Two rivers and three provinces can be said to be what the world's Xinjiang provinces hope for. If we can do it in advance and achieve great success, it will be easier for other provinces in the world."
At this moment, a servant from outside entered the hall, cupped his hands and said: "Zaitai, a letter from the Third Young Master from the capital."
It turned out that Gao Yong was imprisoned in Jinyi Mansion for one day and was released by Jia Heng. When he returned to the mansion, he was very angry. At the suggestion of Chen Hong, the king of Zhongshun County, he wrote a letter and sent it to Gao Zhongping in Jiangnan.
Here, tell the reason.
Gao Zhongping was surprised for a moment, took the letter from the guard, and began to read it. He frowned as he read the words on the letterhead.
Kuang Shou looked concerned and asked: "Dong Weng?"
Gao Zhongping put the letter back into the envelope. Facing the eyes of several people, he said calmly, "It's nothing. Gao Yong asked the Jinyi Mansion to question him in the capital because he was drunk. I have to return the letter over such a trivial matter.
"
At this time, Gao Bo, the second eldest son of the Gao family, was shocked when he heard this. He quickly stood up and saluted Gao Zhongping and said, "Father, can I read the family letter of my third brother?"
Gao Zhongping looked as usual, nodded, and handed over the letter.
Gao Bo took the letter and read it attentively. After a while, he frowned and said angrily: "How can this Duke Wei be so domineering? The third brother just said a few words to offend, and let this man get the Jinyi Mansion. It's really big."
Official power!"
In the letter, he naturally evaded the important and took the easy. He mentioned that he was just drunk, and he was speechless for a while, so he clashed with Jia Heng, and then Jia Heng took advantage of the authority of Jinyi Mansion to imprison Gao Yong in Jinyi Mansion.
In a few words, a young nobleman who is domineering and proud of his achievements is sketched.
Gao Zhongping was also Emperor Chongping's favorite at that time, and he was also the favorite who helped Emperor Chongping participate in the seizure of his heir. It can be said that he has a close relationship with the Chen and Han royal family, but now in Sichuan, the two rivers have moved, and his son has been arrested and taken into the Jinyi Mansion.
After Gao Zhongping read the letter, his expression remained normal, while Gao Bo was furious and indignant after receiving the letter.
Anger surged in Gao Bo's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "My father has been away from the capital for ten years. I don't want such a person to appear in the capital. He is no more than a weakling. He has achieved some military exploits, but he is arrogant. Your Majesty..."
"Shut up!" Gao Zhongping frowned, looked at Gao Bo with a gloomy look, and shouted: "How dare you, Shuzi, be rude?"
Gao Bo felt scared, cupped his hands and said, "Father."
At this time, Kuang Shouzheng tried to smooth things over and persuaded: "Dong Weng, the second young master also missed the third young master for a while, so he became impatient and spoke quickly."
Gao Zhongping frowned and said: "The Duke of Wei is an important minister of the country and the leader of the chieftains. He has wiped out the decline of our great Han Dynasty. I know Yong'er's temperament. He is reckless and shameless."
In fact, I have also deduced the whole story in my mind, and I am afraid it has something to do with the recent news that the emperor granted marriage to the north and south of the Yangtze River.
Princess Xianning was betrothed to Duke Wei by the Holy Spirit, and Yong'er had fallen in love with Princess Xianning a few years ago. However, she was the royal daughter of the clan after all. She originally wanted to find a good opportunity to help Yong'er propose marriage, but she didn't want Wei to let her go.
The Duke of Guo was the first to arrive.
Gao Zhongping said: "Mr. Kuang, remind me later to write a letter."
The letter I wrote was not to comfort Gao Yong, but to reprimand him and make him study hard at home.
The staff did not feel dissatisfied when they saw Gao Zhongping, and they did not want to talk about the matter.
Kuang Shouzheng said: "Dong Weng, businessmen from Suzhou Prefecture, Jiangsu Province have been collaborating frequently recently. As far as the students know, they seem to be making some noise to hinder the implementation of Dong Weng's whipping method."
Wu Xiancheng said: "Dong Weng, as the civil servants go down to the prefectures and counties, the local gentry and petty officials who exclude the clearing of their father-in-law's land and the law of whipping collude with each other, which will inevitably cause trouble for the people. In case of emergencies, the Jiangnan camp needs help.
Timely intervention is the key.”
During these days, the Governor's Office of Liangjiang sent five or six working groups to the counties under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu to preside over the new policy of clearing the land and implementing a whip.
Undoubtedly, the move to clear the land of the father-in-law aroused strong opposition from the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. The gentry coerced the people and besieged the county officials, and the work could not be carried out for a time.
These gentry families originally had deep roots in the local area, and they were officials. They even had young children working as officials in the county and township. How could this be implemented?
But Gao Zhongping was Gao Zhongping. He used his power as governor of Liangjiang to dismiss all officials who resisted the one-whip law. Before he came to Jiangnan to take up his post, he had transferred many officials and civil servants from Sichuan to serve as part of the New Deal.
.
At that time, Gao Zhongping still got the tacit approval of Emperor Chongping.
Suddenly, the political situation in Jiangnan was turbulent and changed three times a day.
In fact, in the past month, there have been two or three mass incidents, and the pace of implementing the one-whip method has slowed down slightly.
Gao Zhongping said in a deep voice: "I have requested an order from Shenjing to take back the power of the Jiangnan Camp. I think an approval will be delivered in a hurry in the near future."
Kuang Shouzheng nodded and said: "The whipping method can be said to be a good method that will never be easy to use. When it is spread across the two rivers and three provinces, our country will have to reduce its expenses. Only when the national treasury is rich, whether it is to pacify the captives, provide disaster relief, or change the government,
They can all do it with ease.”
Wu Xiancheng said: "Dong Weng has made great achievements in eradicating the old, creating the new, and eradicating the long-standing disadvantages. In the future, he will be famous in history and be famous for generations to come."
After he succeeds, he will probably return to Beijing with a great reputation.
Gao Zhongping was silent for a moment and sighed: "I don't dare to leave my name in history. I only hope to support Yulong, clean up the bad government for your majesty, and report your kindness to you."
Kuang Shouzheng looked concerned and reminded: "If Dong Weng comes like this, he will also be slandered."
Gao Zhongping smiled and said: "The Duke of Wei once read two poems, and I deeply agree with them."
Everyone looked at Gao Zhongping, and even his son Gao Bo frowned and looked at his father with doubts.
Why did my father mention the Duke of Wei?
"Gou Li..." Gao Zhongping chanted a poem softly, with a somewhat complicated look on his majestic and calm face.
Gao Zhongping naturally knew Jia Heng, a rising star who had become famous in the Han Dynasty in the past three years. He was also a favorite of the emperor, and Gao Zhongping had also thought about Jia Heng.
There is no doubt that his generals are unparalleled, capable of conquering and fighting, and have been able to defeat the Eastern captives several times. Not long ago, they bombarded Huang Taiji and held slave chiefs as tributes to the Taimiao. This shows that together with the military, Liaodong has not yet been determined.
Before, it is irreplaceable!
Although Gao Zhongping boasts that he may not be defeated in the face of the Donglu, Jia Heng can only be convinced in the face of this series of brilliant results.
Kuang Shouzheng said: "Now that the Duke of Wei has returned to Beijing in triumph, the war in the north has stopped, and the foreign invasion has been eliminated for the first time, it is the time to use a great victory to eliminate internal worries. This is the right time to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. Dong Weng is now marching in the south of the Yangtze River with a whip.
, when we achieve great success, I, the Han Dynasty, are expected to prosper."
Wu Xiancheng twirled his beard with his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Kuang is exactly what he said. Those stubborn people who block the trend of Huanghuang can only bow their heads in the face of this trend."
Gao Zhongping said: "The approval from Beijing is probably coming soon."
Based on his understanding of the emperor, the emperor would definitely agree to implement a whipping method in Jiangnan.
While everyone was discussing, the clerk came back and said, "Zai Tai, this is the newspaper that just came from the inn."
Gao Zhongping's face slightly condensed, he quickly took the Di newspaper from the hands of the clerk, and quickly read the text on the Di newspaper, his eyes gradually filled with surprise.
Kuang Shouzheng was slightly surprised and called out: "Making a table."
Gao Zhongping put down the Di newspaper in his hand, with a complex expression on his face, and said, "A lot of big things have happened in Beijing these days."
Without waiting for anyone to ask, Gao Zhongping said: "About ten days ago, the imperial examination scandal broke out in Beijing. Fang Huan, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, was dismissed from his post for leaking questions. The examiner, Zhao Mo, a cabinet scholar, was fined for negligence.
One year, I was reprimanded to leave the cabinet and return to the headquarters to be a director. The Holy Father has decided to retake the exam and hold another encore on August 15th this year."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present touched their foreheads in celebration and said with wide smiles: "Dong Weng, this is really a timely rain."
The Zhejiang Party not only has deep roots in the three southeastern provinces and has many party members, but also has a large number of people in the cabinet in the capital. Even the chief assistant on the spot are Jiangnan scholars.
Gao Zhongping said: "They are limited by their regional views and do not know that the whole world is one region and that China is a self-contained entity. They do not plan for the foundation of eternity."
Several staff members in the hall nodded in agreement and agreed.
Kuang Shouzheng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered something and said, "Dong Weng, if this happens, the Zhejiang Party will be deeply involved in the imperial examination scandal and will no longer be able to stop me from launching new laws in Jiangnan. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Wu Xiancheng said: "It is precisely for this reason that Jiangnan scholars have more candidates for each subject than northern scholars. Unexpectedly, they are greedy and insufficient. In important matters such as the national talent promotion ceremony, they still use the method of leaking questions.
Using cunning means to deceive the superiors and deceive the inferiors is intolerable. After this incident, scholars all over the world despised them. How can they have the face to hinder the great government of the imperial court?"
Gao Zhongping immediately picked up the other side of the Di newspaper and began to flip through it. Just as he was flipping through it, his expression suddenly changed.
Because Jia Heng's four memorials occupied one page, at this moment, those four memorials were clearly written on the Di newspaper.
"On the shortcomings of a whip method."
Gao Zhongping frowned and looked at the memorial, only to see that the memorial pointed out several shortcomings in the implementation of the whip method, including the fire consumption of casting silver, the transfer of floating fees, the price of silver and the price of grain... and a series of shortcomings.
Pointing out its shortcomings can be said to hit the nail on the head.
Gao Zhongping finished reading, his face was solemn, he was sitting upright, and a layer of sweat had appeared on his back.
Such flaws in the whip technique can also be seen in Bashu.
The following memorial summarizes the argument: "If we travel to Bashu and use the country's silver to transport it, we can still avoid the disadvantages of lack of silver. If we travel to the whole country, how can we solve the disadvantages?"
Gao Zhongping took a breath of cold air.
If the Duke of Wei clearly opposed the whipping method, with his central influence on the emperor, I am afraid that the whipping method would be in trouble.
However, when he looked down, he was startled.
I only saw a mention on it, "Therefore, these two troubles can be solved by abolishing the two yuan and reforming the yuan to solve the problem of lack of money, and using the fire to return it to the public to prepare for the cunning officials to deceive the superiors and subordinates."
Gao Zhongping was already shocked at this moment, and he continued to read down. It detailed the contents of the policy of returning the fire to the public and abolishing the two reforms.
Gao Zhongping's face slightly condensed, his eyes were widened, and he was inexplicably shocked.
"Dong Weng." Kuang Shouzheng looked concerned and asked softly.
The black beard under Gao Zhongping's chin was trembling slightly at this moment. He almost couldn't wait to look down. When the handwriting came into view, his heart trembled even more.
Among them, a new policy was mentioned, "Everyone is divided into an equal amount!"
This method is used in conjunction with the land clearing. It can be said to be a sharp sword. It is not a problem to quadruple the treasury income.
After Gao Zhongping finished reading, he felt his cheeks were slightly red, his eyes were focused, and his head was a little dizzy. It was obvious that he had held his breath for a moment and read it in one breath, and even felt a little lack of oxygen.
Seeing this, Kuang Shouzheng and Wu Xiancheng looked at each other, their appetites already whetted.
"The talent of the Duke of Wei is of great talent." Gao Zhongping's majestic face showed silence, his eyes were aggressive, and he suddenly sighed, and even felt a sense of despair in his heart.
Is there such a talent in the world? And it is not as good as the weak crown. In addition, in the field of military affairs, it is unparalleled.
Gao Zhongping didn't have any thoughts about Xu Lu for a while. This son's talent was unparalleled, but he was quite surprised.
In fact, this was the Manchu New Government that stood at the lower reaches of history and claimed to be the culmination of the feudal dynasty. It can be said that it laid a solid foundation for the Qianlong era.
Being sold out by Jia Heng in one package at this moment caused an extraordinary shock.
At this moment, Kuang Shouzheng and Wu Xiancheng were attracted by Gao Zhongping's surprised look and stared at the Di newspaper in Gao Zhongping's hand.
"Dong Weng, did this newspaper mention the recent court situation?" Kuang Shouzheng asked with a look of concern on his elegant face.
Gao Zhongping turned around and said softly: "You all should take a look."
With that said, he handed the newspaper in his hand to the clerk aside.
The clerk took the newspaper and turned around to circulate it to Kuang Shouzheng, Gao Xiancheng and other staff.
Gao Zhongping picked up the tea cup on the side, took a sip, and thought about Jia Heng.
