Chapter 345 It is better to chase the poor bandits with the remaining brave men
Form changes too quickly.
Zhu Di was caught off guard.
So he could only express his shock using his customary expressions.
Finally... Zhang Anshi arrived.
Zhang Anshi first bowed to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di said: "You know the news, right? Why, what do you think?"
Zhang Anshi said very directly: "I am very shocked."
Zhu Di also wanted to say something, and so did I.
But when I think about it carefully, something is wrong. I want to ask his opinion.
As soon as the words came to his lips, he turned around and said, "What do you think?"
Zhang Anshi thought about it seriously and said: "Immediately dismiss several officials and forcibly kill scholars... I feel... I think... His Highness, King of Shu, is it too extreme?"
These words seemed to please Zhu Di, who laughed and said: "As expected of the Empress Taizu and Emperor Gao! Why, even you are scared?"
Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly. He implemented the new policy. If it meant opening windows, then His Highness the King of Shu was even more ruthless and directly lifted the roof.
Well, if we don’t get a new deal, we will die!
This is only the first day, and he just killed someone. Only God knows what he will do in the future.
After a pause, he coughed and said: "However, it is not unreasonable for His Highness the King of Shu to do this. Zuo Dudu Mansion governs all the mansions and has gathered many scholars from all over the world. There are gentry in Yingtian, Suzhou, Songjiang and other places.
The power of others is also the most stubborn. If we don’t use strong force, I’m afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything.”
Zhu Di clasped his hands behind his back, walked a few steps, pondered for a while, and then said: "That's why the King of Shu needs to overcome obstacles like this. This brother of mine... has always been gentle and gentle, and I didn't expect him to have this side. Back then... Lan Yu
When we suppressed the Western barbarians together with him, he also wrote a letter that we should focus on appeasing them and not killing them indiscriminately."
"This is the time and the other is the same." Zhang Anshi said: "The essence of suppressing the Western Barbarians is that some people are dissatisfied, kill their chief culprits, and recruit and redeem ordinary barbarians. As long as they can survive, even if they are against
The court still had prejudices, but they did not dare to cause trouble. After ten or twenty years, they gradually got used to it, and eventually they became my subjects of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhang Anshi paused and continued: "But... this New Deal is different. The New Deal targets those people whose interests have suffered huge losses. In their eyes, those lands are inherited from their ancestors and are their lifeblood.
If anyone dares to touch such interests at all, they will fight tooth and nail."
As he spoke, he said with a serious look on his face: "Your Majesty, as long as the imperial court has thoughts about the New Deal, then... it will inevitably be on the same level, and there is no longer any politeness between them."
In the end...His Royal Highness the King of Shu knew that it was useless to recruit people, and if they were redeemed, they would not be able to satisfy their appetite. So he simply..."
Zhu Di nodded: "Your analysis makes sense. It seems that my brother is indeed very virtuous and has his own wisdom."
However, Zhang Anshi sighed and said: "It's just a bit reckless. I don't think it's necessary to do something so ugly, just like I... just try it slowly, slowly cut the flesh with a knife, His Highness the King of Shu's method, I'm afraid I'm frightened."
Few people."
Zhu Di smiled heartily and said: "Are you scared like this? Then if Emperor Taizu Gao was here, wouldn't you be splitting your liver and gallbladder?"
"Ah..." Zhang Anshi was speechless for a moment.
It seems that no matter how he answers this question, it will be embarrassing!
At this time, a eunuch hurriedly came in and said: "Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Shu has an urgent message."
Zhu Di seemed very interested and said: "Take it and let me see it."
So a eloquent memorial with thousands of words was sent to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di recognized the handwriting of King Shu.
You should know that when a vassal king submits a memorial, he usually asks his long history or a pen-writer to write for him, dictate his own thoughts, and let others polish it.
But this King of Shu is so talented that he is full of knowledge. All memorials and edicts are written by himself and he refuses to let others do it for him.
After Zhu Di read it, he first took a deep breath, then silently clicked on the memorial and glanced at Zhang Anshi.
Yishaha, who had been standing silently aside, quickly handed the memorial to Zhang Anshi to read.
Zhang Anshi has probably read it and roughly understands what it means.
This... is actually a lengthy document about the transfer of officials under the Zuo Dudu Mansion.
Among them, 27 officials were requested to be dismissed, and replacement officials were added to fill the vacancies. Not only that, 49 new officials were also requested.
Of course, this is just child's play, and the next step is to take drastic measures.
A school for civil servants should be set up in Yingtian Mansion. All civil servants with good performance will be trained in Yingtian Mansion. They will be taught the ways of being an official, various laws and regulations, etc...
He also implored Zhu Di to replace the inspections of various inspection departments. All military officials should try their best not to let the local inspections be responsible. Among them, the inspections and the county captains of each county should be dispatched by the King of Shu's Guards to appoint trusted people.
If we talk about the former, there is almost no need to hesitate, but the latter is actually a bit taboo.
County lieutenants manage local security, and although patrol inspections also have security responsibilities, in fact, they often also take on tasks like suppressing bandits, which has some military attributes.
Although this personnel transfer is not worth mentioning for the warrior camp in the palace, Qixia's model camp, various imperial guards, and the pro-army Dongchang Jinyi Guards.
But after all, once the King of Shu is allowed to intervene in these, it is equivalent to letting the King of Shu also control a certain amount of military power.
Even though it is dispensable, it is still quite sensitive.
Zhu Di was not angry, but smiled and said: "This brother of mine is really brave!"
Zhang Anshi said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu... seems to be planning to burn the boat."
Zhu Di glanced at him and said, "What do you think?"
Zhang Anshi said: "In the actual process of clearing the throne, I often encountered local obstruction. But fortunately, I was practicing military law at the time, so I could directly mobilize the model battalion and Jin Yiwei to suppress it."
Zhang Anshi continued with a face of deep understanding: "Obviously the King of Shu also understood that it would never be possible to just send some civil servants to clear the land and inspect the hidden fields. But if local county captains and inspections were used, these
People often have too deep entanglements with the local people, and they are not familiar with the mobilization of other troops, so they hope to use people from the King of Shu's guard. I think... there is nothing wrong with this, this kind of thing must be done like this."
Zhu Di nodded, obviously agreeing, and said: "In that case... I will order him to transfer a thousand Shu king's guards to the capital. He will choose who to transfer. County captains, inspection officers and other officials will be decided by him."
Zhu Di paused and then said: "Are these people enough?"
Zhang Anshi said: "It should be enough. Even if it is not enough, I can also assist you with the imperial guards here."
Zhu Di nodded. He was not a person who liked to do things in a muddled manner, so he immediately looked at Yi Shiha and said: "Go and issue an order, and issue it immediately."
Yi Shiha nodded and quickly went to work.
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi again and said: "I can rest easy now. The only thing I'm worried about is that he is too impatient. It's better not to provoke a civil uprising."
This is indeed cause for concern, so Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, if it happens suddenly, and it is so vigorous and vigorous, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in various governments. In this place, the literary style is at its peak, and the literary style is at its peak, and there are more stubborn people. Once public resentment spreads,
But that’s bad.”
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, and looked solemn, saying, "Really? Does anyone dare to resist?"
Zhang Anshi said: "This is hard to say. Even if we don't go against it, it will cause a lot of troubles."
Zhu Di was thoughtful.
Zhang Anshi continued: "But...I have a little idea, which can solve the current problem."
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi: "Huh?"
Zhang Anshi took out a memorial with a smile and said: "Your Majesty...this is my memorial...please take a look at it."
Zhu Di took a deep look at Zhang Anshi, and he couldn't help but wonder, what is Zhang Anshi... up to?
After Zhu Di read the memorial carefully, he continued to look deeply at Zhang Anshi with a strange look: "Is it possible?"
Zhang Anshi looked confident and said: "Based on my many years of experience... it should be feasible."
After Zhu Di heard this, he didn't hesitate and uttered one word: "Accurate."
The monarch and his ministers chatted for a while, and then Zhang Anshi left, feeling quite happy.
Now, he is no longer alone.
As soon as this person left the palace, the captain of the guard immediately stepped forward and said with excitement: "Yingtian Mansion has turned into a pot of porridge. It's terrible, it's terrible."
Zhang Anshi showed a meaningful smile and said: "Let's make trouble, let's make trouble. You take other people's land and rob other people's money. Are you not allowed to make trouble? Let's go home."
…………
Soon, a decree arrived at the Zuo Dudu Mansion.
King Zhu Chun of Shu received the decree, and his emperor brother approved his memorial, which did not make King Zhu Chun of Shu feel strange.
Therefore, he didn't say much, but deliberately... laid out this will on his papers, and then went to rest in the mansion.
When the clerk in charge of managing documents went to collect Zhu Chun's documents, his face suddenly froze when he saw the edict spread out, and his eyes almost dropped.
Soon after, news of an explosion came out in the Governor's Mansion.
Soon, the news spread to not only the Dudu Mansion, but also Yingtian Mansion, and the nearest Shangyuan County.
A class for civil servants will start soon.
Not only are a group of people going to Qixia to study, there are also classes here. I heard that His Highness the King of Shu will personally be the chief instructor, teaching... the ways of being an official and the laws and regulations...
And...it is said...that many people want to be laid off.
This transfer may be huge, involving at least the dismissal, appointment and dismissal of hundreds of officials.
And His Majesty has given permission for His Majesty the King of Shu to commit suicide.
Suicide does not mean suicide, it means making one's own decision.
All of a sudden...
All prefectures and counties are going crazy.
While the officials in each county were still in a dilemma and could not make up their minds, the civil servants and servants down below were already gearing up to clear the land.
You know, in the local government system of the Ming Dynasty, there are so-called iron-clad officials and smooth officials.
These officials all came from the imperial examination and did not have much practical experience at all. Many of them knew nothing about governance.
Even if they are interested, they are only interested in litigation, because litigation can fulfill the reputation of a great man. If someone is more willing to meddle in more affairs, it is Xiuhe and County School, because both of them have political achievements.
As for most things, officials don't know how to take care of them, and in fact, they don't bother to take care of them.
This is actually related to the fact that scholars don't want to get involved in too many secular affairs. In Qingliu's eyes, local officials are just secular officials and they don't think highly of them.
But in the eyes of local officials, they also have their own chain of contempt, and those civil servants who really deal with complicated affairs have become the objects of their contempt.
Nowadays... local officials are not willing to clear land, but they are also worried about losing their jobs. But these officials are different. They are too active, and they are all looking forward to giving orders and showing off their skills.
Even... they don't care about the so-called oil and water at all now, especially those with swords and pens. They have read books. People who have read books are officials, and they are in a contradiction. Now... the opportunity has come
.
The officers of various counties and prefectures are also passing news to each other. The current situation in Taiping Mansion is an example. Now His Majesty has issued an edict to support it. His Highness, the King of Shu, is not willing to kill people in public, and his attitude is very obvious.
Now that the clouds are clearing, if you can't understand the current situation and momentum, you will be as stupid as a pig.
It is even possible that in the future... there will be a large number of official vacancies, which will give a lot of hope for a comeback. Moreover, after the land is cleared, if the Taiping Mansion's general official law is implemented, even if one does not become an official in the future, it will still be serious.
It has been officially established, which is completely different from before.
"Your Highness..."
At this time, in the mansion, the King of Shu was eating his food slowly and alone.
A clerk came in a hurry and saluted.
Zhu Chun, King of Shu, looked unchanged. He raised his chopsticks and said, "Huh?"
The clerk said: "Students... heard... that the judge of Yingtian Mansion, Liu Jian, was very dissatisfied with the new policy. He instructed the magistrate of Shangyuan County... that there was no need to rush to clear the father-in-law..."
Zhu Chun then put down his chopsticks and looked up at the official: "Is the news correct?"
The official said: "It was reported by Li Wen, the government official, and Wang Heng, the Shangyuan County official. The information is accurate. Judge Liu... has a close relationship with the local gentry... Your Highness... wants to clear the land."
After that, his house was full of people, and many local gentry came to talk to him..."
Zhu Chun smiled, but seemed not interested in the matter of this judge.
Instead, he said to the literary official on the side: "Bring me some pen and ink."
The literary official quickly fetched pen and ink.
Zhu Chun looked like an old man and said in front of the officials: "You just said, what is the official's name Li?"
"Li Wen..."
Zhu Chun asked again: "Is there another one?"
The clerk didn't know why, but he still said obediently: "The other one is Wang Heng, the clerk of Shangyuan County."
Zhu Chun wrote down the names of the two people one by one, and then said: "Your name is Deng Chengpu, right?"
The official was even more confused and said hesitantly: "Student...student...student...exactly..."
Zhu Chun also wrote down his name, then handed the paper to the clerk and said: "This... is included in my diary for today."
The clerk took it and went about his business.
At this time, Zhu Chun said to the clerk: "Come... sit down, have you eaten?"
"Ah... I don't dare, I don't dare, I've already eaten it."
Zhu Chun did not force himself and said: "This judge... I have heard a little about it, and I also know a little bit about the situation in the mansion and the county, but he dared to conspire with others. This nature is different, but
It doesn't matter...it's just a judge, go ahead and I will take care of it."
The official went away happily.
But as soon as he walked out of the small hall, he heard Zhu Chun inside suddenly give instructions to the guards around him: "Judge Liu Jian has made trouble and his crime is unpardonable. Go and arrest him immediately. Don't let him escape."
Then I heard the hesitant voice of the guard saying: "Making trouble... Your Highness, if you are making trouble... it should be the factory guard..."
Zhu Chun's voice was a little colder, and he said: "So, this king can't be convicted of rebellion?"
"If he is corrupt and perverts the law, he can be caught by Teruma below."
Zhu Chun's voice said: "Well, I will write a warrant and ask the Zhaomo Institute to investigate immediately and ransack his home to see if there is any corruption and perversion of the law. You must be quick and don't let the news leak out."
The guard asked: "What if we don't find anything?"
"If he can't find it, that's his luck."
"Here."
Not long after, someone came out quickly, walking faster than the official, and passed him quickly behind him.
The official was speechless, and then he felt happy.
There is no so-called affection between officials and officials, at least here, and they are not even considered vassals.
Because officials are too noble and officials are too humble, so... in the eyes of Shangguan, this official is not as good as an ox or a horse.
Therefore, the civil servants rushed to betray their superiors without any psychological burden.
Moreover... His Highness the King of Shu also deliberately wrote down their names, which made the official feel even more refreshed.
It seems that whether it is going to Taiping Mansion or the study class in Yingtian Mansion, he and the other two brothers may have a place.
His future depends on this!
So he happily returned to his office, and it was already dark.
But the dozen or so clerks in Tonggongfang were all busy transcribing official documents or checking the documents that had been filed. Others were collecting and sorting official documents sent from various prefectures and counties, creating a busy scene.
This was unprecedented in the past. Even if there were occasional people there at night, most of them would be busy and just goofing around.
But now, even those old officials have suddenly become more energetic. They are old and have few opportunities, so they have to clear their land this time.
Someone took the book, found the official, and said: "Deng Secretary, the situation of the Qingzhang in each county has been sent. There are still many counties, which seem perfunctory. Look at this... Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, has arrived.
There is no action yet, they are holding all the official documents from the governor's office in their hands."
"Urge again. If you still don't respond, report it immediately." Secretary Deng said: "Also, let people ask the local officials about the actual situation. There is no need to issue an official document... Huating County..."
He thought for a while and then said: "Is the person in charge of the household in Huating County still the same person named Zhou Cheng?"
At this time, a clerk in the office said: "Yes, it's still Zhou Cheng."
"Write a letter to ask him and ask him to report the actual situation. There is no need to follow the official documents and write a note." Secretary Deng said: "If it is just slow, it will be fine, but if it is a double act, it is not a small matter.
!”
After a pause, Secretary Deng continued: "Tell Zhou Cheng that he has been an official for many years and he must know what he is doing. If he covers up something for others, he will be involved in it and it will not be worth it."
"Okay, students will come and fix their books."
Secretary Deng thought for a while and said, "No need, I will repair the book."
After saying that, he returned to his desk and started writing.
…
Zhang Anshi had just returned to the Governor's Mansion when Gao Xiang came.
Gao Xiang handed Zhang Anshi a book in person and said: "This is the merit examination status of the new officials who joined last year."
Zhang Anshi nodded, but put the book on the slip and said, "Has the Zuo Dudu Mansion contacted us?"
Gao Xiang said: "We have been contacted, so we have to select three hundred people. I plan to let them disperse and go to the county offices in each county to study."
Zhang Anshi said: "We are also responsible for giving these people from the Zuo Dudu Mansion a performance test for reference by the Zuo Dudu Mansion."
"Yes, over at Terumasuo... I have already said hello to you and will pay special attention to you."
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Also... select a few officials with civil servant backgrounds, let them take a break, and go to the Zuo Dudu Mansion. There is a class there, and I'm afraid I want a few people to teach some
The experience gained and failed in the implementation of the New Deal, as for the candidates... you submit your report, and I will approve it."
Gao Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "We are almost running out of officials in Taiping Mansion. Now we are in need of people everywhere..."
"Hard work means harder work... Let's do this..." Zhang Anshi said: "Taiping Mansion is recruiting another group of civil servants. This time, the recruitment standards might as well be raised a little higher."
Gao Xiang was immediately overjoyed. Because the civil servants were part of the establishment and involved the issue of money and food support, the Dudu Mansion now restricted the number of civil servants quite tightly. Each office, each department, each house, each office, each
Stations, the number of people is rated, and there is a recruitment quota every year. But now that a group of people are specially approved, it is much easier for him, the governor.
After Gao Xiang was sent away, Chen Li kept exploring outside.
"Captain."
Zhang Anshi looked at him and said with a smile: "Come in! How about it, are everything ready?"
Chen Li walked in and said, "We'll just wait for the governor."
Zhang Anshi said: "I'm just afraid that something will happen to you. There will definitely be no problem on my side. I was in the palace just now and His Majesty already approved it. If nothing happens, the results will be available tomorrow. On your side, you can do it for me at any time."
Be prepared."
Chen Li had a look of admiration on his face and said: "The Governor is really vigorous and resolute in his work."
Zhang Anshi grinned and said happily: "No matter what, in the next few days, I will teach people like Li Shimian... to pay the price! Damn it, I, Zhang Anshi, have a strange yin and yang, does he think I am as easy to bully as my brother-in-law?"
"ah……"
Chen Li was a little dazed. He tried to break his head but couldn't understand what this had to do with His Highness the Crown Prince.
But...it doesn't matter...Chen Li will take action.

Today's second chapter will be updated before 12 o'clock. We will slowly adjust the updates.
