Chapter 297.

Yang Rong only pondered for a moment.

And then, he glanced at Jian Yi and Zhang Anshi.

He appeared stoic and seemed to be pondering something.

It was as if right in front of him, this matter of countless people’s lives and deaths had nothing to do with him.

And then he said calmly, “Which is right or wrong, in Your Majesty’s opinion?”

Zhu Di didn’t expect that Yang Rong actually came to ask a rhetorical question.

This was very offensive to Zhu Di!

I’m asking you, how dare you ask me?

Now Zhu Di is like an angry lion.

Zhu Di said, “I ask you!”

“In fact, your majesty does not have an answer in his heart.” Yang Rong said, “The matter of Taipingfu is unprecedented, and I have not seen it in the scriptures and history books, so while it is true that Wei Guo Gong’s rule of Taipingfu was fruitful, it cannot be said that Jian Gong was wrong. This is because, in the books Jian Gong has read, governing the world really shouldn’t have been like this. For these out of the ordinary officials, to depose, I thought …… this is his good intentions. ”

The corner of Zhu Di’s mouth hooked up into a cold smile, then said, “Good intentions?”

Yang Rong seems to not hear the irony in Zhu Di’s words in general, said, “Yes, what the Duke of Wei has done can be said to be unprecedented, and is bound to trigger the resentment of many people in the world, taking advantage of the fact that the Taiping Palace is not yet stable, cutting off his wings in the Taiping Palace, which is not a kind of warning and protection for the Duke of Wei? Let Wei Guo Gong not continue to cross the thunder pool, lest he become a target, stop his behavior …… I feel that Jian Gong is well-intentioned.”

Zhu Di couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “What a way to point at a deer as a horse!”

Yang Rong still appeared calm and unruffled, saying, “Will Your Majesty allow Your Majesty to finish your words?”

This Yang Rong was indeed bold, but he also did appear to be very calm and relaxed.

He is still slow and methodical: “I did not accuse Wei Guo Gong, Wei Guo Gong’s achievements, is real! I am also quite happy to see the Taiping House, and want to see …… what kind of degree this Taiping House can reach.”

Yang Rong paused, then said: “But your majesty …… Wei Guo Gong is still playing with fire, and those who play with fire may not burn themselves. Only Wei Guo Gong so, is equal to put himself on the edge of the cliff, a careless, may not be able to recover. And for my Daming, the success or failure of Taipingfu is also related to the survival of Daming. Since this is the case, then …… why not again to wait and see what happens later?”

Zhu coldly said, “Taipingfu is already the crown of all the mansions in the world.”

Yang Rong shook his head and said, “This is not fair, the Taiping Mansion did make a lot of achievements that were eye-opening, but the reason why there is today, I thought that there are a few points that are inseparable.”

“One is that, after all, the Duke of Wei is a very important official, his prestige is not comparable to ordinary people, and the Duke of Wei is already a dragon and phoenix among men, would it not be easy for such a person to govern a government? Wei Guo Gong can do what he can do in Taipingfu, but if he puts someone else as governor, will he definitely succeed?”

“The other governors, after all, their talents, far less than the Duke of Wei, their prestige, also not the Duke of Wei can reach, as far as I know, many governors to take office, and even the lower minor officials can not do as much as the lower officials, by the subordinate officials to deceive the upper and lower. But these, in Taipingfu will not happen, no one dares to hide a Jinyiwei Commander.”

Chu: “……”

Yang Rong continued, “So, what happened in Taipingfu, whether it stems from the great talent of the Duke of Wei, or whether this set …… of methods is really usable, or even more useful than the methods promoted by the ancient sages, is open to question.”

Zhu frowned, carrying his hands behind his back, pondering up.

I have to say, Yang Rong at this time, the words are very unpleasing to Zhu Di joy, but Yang Rong this person …… speaks very fair, but also cut out the key of the problem.

Then Zhu Di said, “You mean, you want to try this method in other provinces, too?”

When the officials heard this, they wailed in their hearts.

If this were to be implemented in their hometowns, it would be a case of copying out their family’s hidden fields and making their families pay taxes!

Yang Rong smiled and said: “Your majesty, now the world is implemented, is the ancient method, so although there are many problems in the various counties, can be regarded as peace and quiet. The implementation of the Taiping Province, but the new things that have not been done before, in the absence of problems found before the rush to promote, I thought that this is not a safe policy. I have a policy ……”

Zhu Di’s tone was a bit milder, there was a reason why he trusted Yang Rong.

No matter what Yang Rong said, whether he agreed with it or not, at least, Yang Rong always clarified his position to him from the standpoint of the countryside. Zhu Di knew that he was all public-spirited and not biased, so naturally he was more than happy to accept his words.

Yang Rong said: “In Taiping Province and Yingtian Province junction, there is a Ningguo Province, the rule of Xuancheng County, this place is from Nanjing, but only a stone’s throw away, and Jian Gong, is the old minister of the three dynasties, but also the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of Justice, the world’s ministers, whether it is the moral character or the ability to be incomparable with it, not as good as …… would please Jian Gong to Ningguo Province temporary governor. Mr. Jian to Ningguo Fu, temporary governor, but also to teach His Majesty to see, I am the Ming dynasty’s most important ministers, according to the sages said that the dying of the arch and rule, can be a government, governance into what kind of situation!”

“Duke Jian, like Duke Wei, is also extremely prestigious and is also able to manage the officials, and after a year, if Ningguo Fu does not have a road or a house at night, and gets great governance, then it will be proved that the reason why Taipingfu can have today is not because Zhang Anshi’s method is right, but just because …… Taipingfu has a Duke of Wei is just. But if Jian Gong’s rule of Taipingfu is far worse than Taipingfu, then it can be seen that Taipingfu’s method is indeed commendable, and by then, which is right or wrong can be clearly seen.”

“Your Majesty. This …… has several advantages, whether good or bad, at least it can teach people to be happy. In fact, …… I also have a selfish wish.”

“Selfishness?”

Zhu Di looked at Yang Rong suspiciously.

Yang Rong smiled slightly, “If the Taiping Province …… is really better than the Ningguo Province, this shows that my Ming has found a new way. After all, throughout the dynasties, although …… there is a world of governance, there is also a world of chaos, the cycle of governance and chaos, the people can live in peace for a few days? The minister’s selfishness is …… hoping that Taipingfu will be far better than Ningguofu.”

Zhang Anshi stood aside, at first was a little angry, and in his heart he knew that Yang Rong was pulling the strings.

But at this time, he began to admire Yang Rong.

This guy is very level ah, his words, let Zhang Anshi these people, hate him not up, but feel that this guy …… seems to be biased toward their own end.

But for Jianyi these people, but also seems to think that Yang Rong is his own people, he took the trouble to say these words, clearly want to pull Jianyi a hand, and obviously Jianyi these people, must be self-confidence is bursting.

The Minister of the Ministry of Appointments, is it not easy to govern a small government? Yang Rong is really a good man, in the midst of His Majesty’s anger, he still dared to violate His Majesty’s scales and tried his best to protect Jianyi.

What about for Chu?

For Zhu Di, Yang Rong these words, can be said to be fair, he will be the whole thing stripped away, all the pros and cons and his doubts are also put forward, and governance of the world, is not a one day and one night, a new policy, in the end, there are no hidden dangers, but also need to be observed, and …… came up with a way to Jianyi to rule the Ningguo Palace, is definitely considered to be A bowl of water end flat, at least …… this is not a bad thing for the court society.

Zhu Di naturally felt that Yang Rong this person, very stable, is a stable and everywhere for the sake of the gods.

Zhang Anshi first had admiration, and then could not help but mutter in his heart, “This dangling hair …… is really left and right, is this the legendary ‘Three Yangs’ ability?”

Zhu Di was still still cold, but looking at Yang Rong’s face, it wasn’t murderous anymore.

At this time, he turned his gaze to Zhang Anshi and said, “What does Secretary Zhang think?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, I think …… it is not impossible.”

Zhang Anshi did not object, the Taiping government has reached the present, to find a chance to convince everyone.

This kind of unprecedented national policy, also can never be a consensus can be reached overnight, and now the Taiping government to do is to find ways to prove themselves.

Zhu Di nodded his head and looked at Jian Yi, unable to help but chill his face again, saying, “Jian Yi, what do you think?”

Jianyi said, “Dare not follow orders.”

Zhu Di said, “Then, depose Jian Yi as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue ……”

“Your Majesty.” Yang Rong said at this time, “It would be unfair to depose Duke Jian, but rather as a governor. After all, the Duke of Wei is a Duke of State, plus the Commander of the Brocade Guards as a Tongzhi.”

Zhu Di raised an eyebrow and said, “The Minister of the Ministry …… of Officials is the governor?”

Yang Rong said, “Since the Taipingfu has set a precedent, what is wrong with …… setting this precedent again?”

Zhu Di heard here, but scanned the crowd, then said: “It seems, if not, is not block your mouth. 鏃㈠姝わ紝韫囦箟鍏煎畞鍥藉簻鐭ュ簻锛屼互鍚忛儴灏氫功鐨勮韩浠斤紝鑷冲畞鍥藉簻娌诲湴瀹ｅ煄缃茬悊搴滃姟锛岃嚦浜庡悘閮ㄢ€︹€﹀氨鏆備笉鍔充粬璐瑰績銆傗€�

Jian Yi old tears, although he was ready to die, but did not expect, he still has a chance.

Who really wants to die if they can live?

And for him, the district is a Ningguo House, but it is only a small test, in any case, the eye is also a robbery, and even …… gives him a chance to prove himself.

He bowed and said, “I thank Your Majesty.”

Zhu Di then lightly said: “But Jian Yi committed a big mistake, and not to be lightly forgiven, come on people, take down his family …… to the imperial prisons …… what the crime, or what the crime. Jianyi …… If you rule Ningguo Fu with success, it is still just. But if nothing has been accomplished …… I read that you are an old minister, when you served Emperor Taizu Gao, also have merit, I will spare your life, but your family ……”

Zhu did not continue with the latter words.

Jian Yi was already ashen.

Zhu Di followed: “All officials involved in this, in addition to the lynching of Langzhong Liu Rong, the rest of the people, but also to the Ningguo Palace …… they are not all very capable? Then let me see their skills, but …… according to Jian Yi example, sea arrest their families, and detained in the imperial prison to wear a crime.”

“Long live the Emperor.”

Zhu Di waved his hand: “Yang Qing seeks the words of the country, is my humerus, I heard that Yang Qing young family fall, in the capital city is not easy to live, give a mansion, give silver three thousand taels, for the repair of the mansion.”

Yang Rong said, “I thank Your Majesty.”

Hu Guang: “……”

At this time, Hu Guang, finally knew the gap between himself and Yang Rong, and his heart couldn’t help but remember what Yang Rong had said to him at the beginning.

Sometimes, the court does need an honest man …… and he is that honest, or don t play tricks, because there is no that brain.

He sighed a bit in his heart and was vaguely quite jealous of Yang Rong.

Zhu Di then, in front of the face of the crowd, walked to the front of the high Xiang, the face of the coldness seems to subside at once, and pleasantly said: “High Secretary of the family, the Ministry of Justice want to harm you, my disposal can still be satisfied? If it is not satisfied, you can say, just right now, I govern the world, must have high secretary of the family and other such people can not, high secretary of the family do not call themselves pariahs, also do not excuse yourself, from today, you serve as the Taiping Province young Yin, and the other people in the House, also stay together!”

“Zhang Anshi, this kid, after all, is still young, he acts with more than cleverness, but no patience, always opportunistic, you are all meticulous people, I will entrust Zhang Anshi to you today, I hope that you will assist him well, and pick up the pieces for him, so that I can feel at ease.”

When the words came to this point, Gao Xiang couldn’t help but have his eyes reddened, his face concealing his excitement.

This can really be the ancestral tomb of the smoke, if his ancestors know, their own children and grandchildren, can be treated by the emperor so with courtesy, no, is to treat the country’s soldiers, only afraid that the coffin board will not be able to press.

Without hesitation, Gao Xiang bowed down and said sincerely, “Your Majesty and Duke Wei take me as a confidant, I will do my best to serve.”

The rest of the people bowed down and shouted hooray.

Zhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn’t help but lament, “This is how the country should be when it comes to raising its soldiers, unlike some of the people in God’s name.”

Some: “……”

Zhu Di didn’t bother to look at the others, only coldly said, “That’s all for today.”

It is late, Zhu Di will no longer stay, directly driving back to the palace.

But what happened today was enough to shock the world.

All the officers in Taipingfu were promoted to two ranks.

Jianyi, the Minister of the Ministry of Appointments, was appointed governor of Ningguo.

At the same time, the绶归獞鍙栭┚璐村埌韫囧锛岀洿鎺ョ储鎷胯箛涔夊浜哄埌璇忕嫳鎷樻娂銆�

In a moment, within the capital, mourning, the wave of ministers, there are more than seventy, the imperial prison is also in a moment, overcrowded.

Zhang Anshi summoned Chen Li.

Chen Li arrived at Zhang Anshi’s heel, but was the first to complain: “This family, with their families, will be our imperial prison as a nursery, this imperial prison if not expanded, how can it be?”

Zhang Anshi asked, “There are more than seventy households?”

Chen Li said with a depressed face, “Yes, up and down, more than 2,900 mouths, up to seventy or eighty years old, the lower head and infants, and not to mention a lot of women, the master can allow me to curse a couple of it.”

Zhang Anshi was very forgiving, “You curse.”

With Zhang Anshi’s permission, Chen Li spat out the words he was holding in his heart, “Into the motherfucker, that imperial historian Jiang Wen, this guy has fourteen concubines alone, this old thing is over sixty years old, at the expense of him still having this interest.”

As he cursed this, Chen Li’s face was thick with contempt.

Zhang Anshi didn’t have a good feeling about this kind of person either, so he didn’t want to waste his lips on such a person even more, so he said, “Alright, alright, don’t complain.”

Chen Li then had no choice but to give up and asked instead, “What …… to do with these people? Should we ……”

Zhang Anshi shook his head, “Mostly women’s families, and the gas is out, there is no need to torture, you ah, collect your hostility.”

“Yes, yes, yes, my humble self will die.” Chen Li said, “I just feel …… that these people are working against you, Your Excellency ……”

Zhang Anshi hooked his lips and smiled, saying, “I have a way to do it, and there’s no need to imprison them in the Imperial Prison.”

“But Your Majesty ……”

Zhang Anshi said, ”Let’s set them up at Duke Deng’s farm! Anyway, there is no fear of them running away, let a few绶归獞鍘荤鐞嗗氨鏄氨灏变簡. There is no need to make things difficult for them, just teach them men and the old and weak to separate to organize, men are responsible for following Duke Deng planting crops, reclaiming land, according to the labor to give money and food, the old and weak, women and children, will be temporarily shut in the farm, they eat and drink, rely on the men to earn their own, whether it is food and clothing, to teach them to dig out of their own in the ground, whether it is starving, or eat enough, whether it is to wear a warm, or clothing, it is up to them. ”

“Ah ……,” Chen Li hesitated, “I’m afraid Eunuch Deng won’t.”

“He will be willing.” Zhang Anshi said with certainty, “You don’t know him. If he knew that these people could be resettled, he would be willing to do so. He wouldn’t have to teach me to clean up in the Imperial Prison. He must be afraid that I will go around offending people to death and would rather find a way to arrange them.”

Zhang Anshi’s face was all smiles as he said this, and there was a rare warmth in his eyes.

As if he suddenly reacted, Chen Li said, “I actually forgot that Eunuch Deng watched you grow up, Your Excellency.”

“Hurry up. ” Zhang Anshi smiled, “Distribute farming tools to them, organize them by household, if there is no man in the family, let the women do needlework, except for those who are over sixty years old, and children under ten years old. The rest of …… them should be able to do what they can. For the rest, just leave it to Eunuch Teng, he will dispose of it.”

“Yes.”

Zhang Anshi sent Chen Li away, and then had Gao Xiangren and the others summoned.

Gaoxiang people and others had already bathed and changed their clothes and put on their official robes again, and all the previous haggardness seemed to have been swept away.

This time, although it is to stay in office, the official position has not changed, but the grade is incomparable.

For example, Gao Xiang, directly from the fifth grade to cross into the fourth grade, which for the local parents of the official, a step further, may have to become the Buzhengzhu, almost to reach the ceiling of the local officials.

Not to mention, after this matter, even His Majesty has made an impression on them, not to mention that there is also the Duke of Wei, the big red man in front of His Majesty s heel to take care of them, they are already very clear that in the future …… as long as there are no mistakes, the future prospects can be seen.

So goodbye Zhang Anshi, everyone was still happy, I do not know who, suddenly some red circles, experienced such a life and death honor and disgrace, really feel a lot, some people can not help but sob.

Others seemed to be infected by this and couldn’t help but wipe their eyes.

The crowd said, “Greetings, Your Excellency.”

Zhang Anshi pretended not to see them wiping tears, but said, “The situation, you already know. That Jianyi …… is still unconvinced, no, it is many, many people in the world who are unconvinced, thinking that the Taiping Province can have today because of me, the Duke of Wei. Since this is the case, then let them see how powerful we are! Can collect money and grain, is the first step, according to the rules of the court, money and grain collected, the government and the county, can be retained as part of the expenditure, in addition to the liberation of the court in addition to how much money and grain we have on hand, have to calculate again, in short, our government, there should be no shortage of money and grain.”

“Out of this first step, there must be a second and third step, levy taxes, not the purpose, the purpose is how to spend out, but also to spend to the crunch, so today start …… the House to set up a discussion of the rules of government, I a, the same as a know one, as well as the light of the mill, the push of the official a few, every few days. Agree on matters in the House, we all finalize things, figure out what to do next, and then let the next person to do.”

“Not to say the other, I look at the road, we have to repair a repair, we have to build a commercial road, in addition, there is the problem of the school, the children can not not read, all three hundred households above the village, have to hire a teacher, but also have to hire a doctor to open the museum, these …… can be subsidized by the money and food, of course. I just open a head, and then there is the problem of land road inspection division and waterway inspection division, to let them carry out burglary, they must be taught to be serious, not a group of grassroots like, to be in the townships, the establishment of outposts, the county, set up an inspection office, the government, set up an inspection division.”

“In short, money and grain, repair bridges and roads, livelihood, law and order, business everywhere should be grasped, the government’s silver is still spent on what, which some places need to be improved, let’s take one step at a time.”

Zhang Anshi paused, then said: “Other places what kind of, I Zhang Anshi do not care, but in this Taiping Province, we have to have their own rules, you have suffered, know that many people outside, waiting to see our jokes, and even hate to see us fall down, fall down. In that case, then let them have a good look at it. What peace and prosperity, talking about the language. I only one, that is, everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear. If you do this well, you’ll be able to accomplish a great deal of good, and you’ll be remembered for generations to come.”

The crowd is not excited, now we all want to open up, go to the fucking what the dying of the arch, what the way to rule the world, all this shit, in addition to bring to the debate, there is no meaning.

At this time, Zhang Anshi added: “Also, everyone should report a batch of civil officials to the roster, to be meritorious, we, Taipingfu, should create a roster specifically for civil and military officials.”

“Making a book?” Gao Xiang was surprised.

Zhang Anshi said, “Taiping Province is now upgraded, the need for three bureaus, six divisions and nineteen institutes, these need officials, in addition to the original officials promoted, some merit and do a good job of clerical officials, but also to make up for it, when I come to recommend, and you guys, you can also recommend some candidates to me.”

“Then there is this register, all the official civil and military officials, of course, to make a register, and all the new officials in the future, but also to formally investigate, point checking. In the future, all new officials will also be formally examined and tested. After entering the register, and making good use of their lives, they will serve for more than three years, and will be recognized by our Taiping Province as the official officials, and will be given salaries according to their seniority and official positions. If we all work and contribute, there must be rules.”

When the crowd heard this, one by one, they all sucked in their breath.
