Chapter 339: Good Things to Show You

After Zhang Anshi finished drawing, he began to teach this secretary and other clerical officials how to fill out the form.

These few people looked extremely carefully, and upon closer inspection, they all revealed a great shock.

This thing …… is ……… really a far cry from a money book.

Especially for a clerical official like him who had been dealing with money and food for a long time, he was well aware of the benefits of this thing.

Not only is it easier to calculate, but most importantly …… it is more intuitive.

Intuition is the most important thing, and this is something that the Secretary appreciates very much.

Because not everyone is an old official who is skilled in money and food and can take a book and turn it over and know everything about it.

In fact, the officials he served knew almost nothing about it.

It requires patience on your part, and the other person is barely able to get a general idea under the cloud.

But now …… with this ……

At a glance.

At a glance it’s not a problem, you can actually take the number of last year, the year before last, or even the number of other House to directly compare, and this ……

For a moment, it seemed as if this Secretary had been enlightened.

The thing was no more to a man like him than a boatman making a living on the water, suddenly bird-dogging a steamer.

At that moment, he became excited, while Zhang Anshi, began to make other tables again, while patiently exhorting, “The most important thing is the ruler, for example, there is also this kind of table, called the columnar table. You see, draw it like this. And this ……”

Zhang Anshi spoke more and more detailed, no way, now the management of the stall is big, a big stall, administrative efficiency has become the biggest problem.

It was also impossible for Zhang Anshi and the other officials to spend a lot of time continuing to go through the various money and grain books.

And now this is enough to make the layman, can instantly understand the current situation of all the money and food in the house.

“This thing, not only can be applied to money and food, but also can be used in other places, such as the number of schools in each province and county, and the enrollment of students, and …… In short, as long as something involving numbers, can use these tabulation methods. Come, you draw one for me to see.”

“Yes, yes.”

The Secretary jumped at the chance to take a long ruler, and with an example, he drew it with all his heart.

Zhang Anshi smiled slightly, of course …… the administrative efficiency that this thing improves is amazing, because it not only makes the various numbers can be clearly visualized.

The scariest part is that it’s an explosive level of inward curling tool.

What is meant by efficiency is KPIs, or Key Performance Indicators.

Before the New Deal, the performance of local officials, mainly from the so-called official reputation, and the official reputation is a very nebulous thing. And …… this official reputation is almost all held in the hands of the township sages and squires.

It is only when they are effectively organized to deliver your Wannabe umbrella that the word of mouth they pass out, can be spread.

But after the New Deal, it was clear that official reputation was something that was not reliable.

At first Zhang Anshi rule Taiping Province, because the place is small, almost all the officials, are under his eyes, which one is willing to use his life, which one is smart, have intuitive and clear understanding.

It was just that as Zhang Anshi now governed more and more places and had more and more officials under him, it was no longer possible for Zhang Anshi to recognize all of them after the expansion of the organization and the increase in personnel.

That’s when this performance appraisal, becomes something crucial.

All the issues affecting local governance into a variety of performance of certain factors, and then finally based on the number of money tax, the number of school enrollment, commercial tax and the number of local material output, as a standard. Between the various governments, between the counties, and even take you this year’s performance compared to last year’s performance, as an important basis for your merit test.

Then …… Zhang Anshi, the right governor, can also rest on his head.

Of course …… the most important thing …… is that Zhang Anshi also intends to spread this law widely.

Isn’t there going to be a Left Governor in the court? Then press the head of this Left Governor and let people post this thing every day to disgust you.

Any bullshit official voice actually has nothing to hide when it comes to real data.

“Good, it seems to have the mold, this law to promote, I see, you first do not rush to go to the appointment, I intend to Qixia, run a clerical watchmaking study class, so that the clerical officials of the counties, are selected three people to learn, a few of you to do the lecturer. This thing is simple, learn three or five days can be, and after …… requesting all governments and counties to collectively promote.”

Said, Zhang Anshi turned back and looked at Gao Xiang, “Gao Fu Yin, you come to do this example …… after the unified tabularization, everything starts from Taipingfu, Taipingfu here to set up a statistical division.”

Gao Xiang early stood aside and watched carefully, he is proficient in money and grain affairs, naturally at a glance he knew the subtlety of this.

So Gaoxiang said, “Governor rest assured, this matter …… subordinate officer to arrange the arrangement, Taiping House to be in the first of the various provinces.”

Zhang Anshi added: “Also, later go to the Ministry of Household …… forget it, the data of each government are brought, all made into a form it. You have to work hard, tomorrow before noon to get it out for me, after noon, I go to face the saint.”

After ordering things, Zhang Anshi slept peacefully for the rest of the night and only got up at sunrise.

And that secretary and some clerical officials were already going to be paralyzed with exhaustion.

They stayed up all night and finally took a book.

Since he slept extremely well last night, Zhang Anshi was in good spirits today.

At this time, I received the book and opened it, but it was the number of each item.

His eyes instantly brightened a few points and he complimented, “Very good! Rest well for two days, hard work.”

Immediately, Zhang Anshi entered the palace for an audience.

Zhu Di had known that Zhang Anshi would enter the palace today to thank for his kindness, but at this time, Zhu Di was standing on the window sill with his hands behind his back, slightly frowning, and pondering, stopping without saying a word.

Zhang Anshi came in and saluted, “I …… thank Your Majesty …….”

“No need to be polite.” Zhu calmly said, “How is it, are things set up properly?”

“Ah ……”

“I ask you, you, the right governor, how is the setup?” Zhu said, “Governing several provinces is different from governing one.”

“I …… have …… set it up, and nothing will happen.”

Zhu Di suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi then realized that Zhu Di s face …… was very unpleasant.

He was shocked in his heart, this is not the right time to come today! Had he known that His Majesty was in a bad mood today, he shouldn’t have come at this time.

Zhu Di fell reluctantly smiled, after taking his seat, looked at Zhang Anshi and said, “Hey, you ah you ……… look at you like this, I will eat you?”

Zhang Anshi shook his head and then said, “Does Your Majesty have something on your mind?”

Zhu said, “There are no matters of the heart, just ……”

His gaze snapped to Zhang Anshi: “You are the Jin Yi Wei Commanding Envoy Tong Zhi, could …… something have happened outside that you don t know?”

“Ah ……” Zhang Anshi said, “I from yesterday to now, since the ordination, has been busy …… with the affairs of the various governments, last night was also a sleepless night , got up today, then rushed to thank the grace, Jin Yiwei’s report, but did not read.”

Zhu Di nodded, it is understandable, then, he looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile, “Yesterday s court meeting …… was really thrilling.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, dare I ask ……”

Zhu Di said, “The candidate for the left governor, guess who someone has recommended?”

Zhang Anshi said, “This …… minister can not guess.”

“I also can not think of, if they did not play up, I really want to break the head, but also can not think of ……”

Zhu had long since put away his smile, and even looked as if he was suppressing his anger.

His eyes flickered, at times as sly and skeptical as a fox, and at the same time, like a hungry wolf, he swept through a heavy murderous streak.

Seeing Zhu Di’s reaction, Zhang Anshi could not help but wonder, “Dare I ask who this person is?”

Zhu Di faintly said, “Zhu Chun!”

At these words, Zhang Anshi was confused, “Which Zhu Chun?”

Zhu Di said, “How many Zhu Chuns are there in the world?”

Zhang Anshi said, “That Tsubaki, is it a wooden character?”

Zhu, from his nostrils, grunted.

Ming Dynasty’s royal family, generally use secluded characters, and even …… may also create words, often using Jin, Mu, Shui, Huo, and Tu and other bias, used to take names.

This is done so as not to clash names with others.

After all, in ancient times, if an unusual person and the emperor’s name is the same, it is to avoid, and the royal family themselves choose the secluded characters, it is the same as to solve this trouble.

Zhang Anshi inquired about the wood character side, which actually meant the same thing, because there was only one person in the world named Zhu Chun.

Zhang Anshi then couldn t help but be surprised and said, “Your Majesty, this …… is out of order.”

“Indeed out of order!” Zhu Di fingertips on the case, then said, “visible …… someone is to doggedly jump over the wall, is to teach me to kill.”

Zhang Anshi was instantly able to understand.

Tingpui was a group of ministers of the fourth rank and above, all together electing a minister to an official position, and there were about two hundred such ministers in the Ming dynasty.

Zhu Chun is a vassal king, and Zhu Di’s brother, the vassal king will be a vassal after reaching the age of majority, and will not be allowed to enter the capital without the court’s decree.

But who would have thought that at this point in time, there was a sudden proposal for Zhu Chun to be the left governor.

This …… says he is not messing up, can not even say it.

Then Zhang Anshi asked again, “Your Majesty, who is …… so bold?”

Zhu Di said, “Li Shimian, the Supervisor of the State Sonship.”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

“What?”

Zhang Anshi speechless, because …… in exchange for others, Zhang Anshi will still be surprised at, how someone such a big courage, is not afraid of the brocade guards knife is not sharp.

However, when Zhu Di mentioned this person, Zhang Anshi had an impression.

Because this gentleman …… can be said to be the biggest kung fu at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, historically, this person has a very fruitful record.

Zhu Di’s later years, Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, the three main halls were struck by lightning, which Li Shimian immediately according to Dong Zhongshu “unity of man and nature” theory, against Zhu Di consecutive years of conquest of the North, the Western Ocean, the construction of the Beijing City and other kinds of “people hurt money” moves, Zhu Di impeachment! The theory of “the unity of heaven and man” was used to impeach Zhu Di.

Angry in his later years, Zhu Di’s blood pressure spiked directly, almost did not die of anger.

Of course, although Zhu Di was not killed by anger, Zhang Anshi’s brother-in-law, Zhu Gaoqi, was almost killed by Li Shimian’s anger.

After Zhu Gaoqi ascended the throne, because the body is not good, Li Shimian will be another book impeachment Zhu Gaoqi, said: “I heard that in mourning should not be close to the concubines, Prince should not be the original left and right … … … … … … … … … … … …”

This rustic, on the surface is to persuade Zhu Gaoqi do not close to women’s color, but in fact it is scolded Zhu Gaoqi close to women’s color.

So Zhu Gaoqi furious, in the Golden Palace reprimanded Li Shimian, the results of this Li Shimian on the spot sentence by sentence rebuttal.

Compared with the scholarly students with a bachelor’s degree, it is obvious that Zhu Gaoqi is not a rival, and he was so angry that Zhu Gaoqi nearly fainted.

Shortly afterward, Zhu Gaoqi died.

At that time, people said it was Li Shimian gas killed Zhu Gaoqi, which Zhu Gaoqi dying, but also to Li Shimian can not forget, pulling Xia Yuanji’s hand repeatedly recited: “Shimian insulted me too much!”

Unfortunately, Zhang Anshi, the brother-in-law is still an honest man, and he hated Li Shimian between his deaths, but eventually did not give the order to kill Li Shimian.

Such a person …… what he put forward during the court push, Zhang Anshi will not even feel surprised.

Then Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, I want to know …… how many people seconded Li Shimian when …… the court pushed?”

Zhu said with a sullen face, “Sixty-seven out of ten.”

Zhang Anshi’s heart was already clear, what the ancestral law, are all farts.

Don’t look at the civilian ministers on weekdays, one by one, use this to restrain the emperor, but once they want to solve the problem, they immediately use it as toilet paper.

Who doesn’t know that it is a taboo for a Prince to oversee the capital!

But apparently …… someone who does that is being pushed.

His Majesty’s and the Crown Prince’s moves have left certain people at the end of their rope.

Since that was the case, then one of the pricks suggested Chu Chun as a candidate, and the others followed along.

This is both to let the emperor and the crown prince down, which …… is also to express their own dissatisfaction with the new policy.

Zhu, however, was put in a very dangerous situation by the uproar and nonsense of these people.

Zhu Di was started as a pacifist, and he got where he is today by fighting to protect the interests of his clansmen and brothers.

Now everyone said Zhu Di’s brother Zhu Chun was virtuous and could be made the left governor.

If Zhu Di were to become furious over this, rumors of sibling rivalry in the palace would surely spread again.

Not to mention the fact that the matter of Ren Dudu at the moment was born by these people, and made into a joke.

This is obviously a deliberate attempt to cross the line with Zhu Di, as well as a deliberate attempt to turn Zhu Di’s implementation of the New Deal into a laughing stock.

Of course, a group of people actually bold enough to sacrifice Zhu Chun, which is more like a provocation to Zhu Di. Doesn t it show that among the clansmen, Zhu Chun is the most virtuous, so …… who is not virtuous?

As for this King Zhu Chun of Shu, he had been addressed as Shu Xiucai by Emperor Taizu Gao at the time of Emperor Taizu Gao.

People say that his nature is filial and kind, comprehensive canonical books, elegant demeanor, reading good good, close to Confucianism, can article.

He came to Sichuan after the vassal, greatly promote education, in Zhu Yuanzhang is still in the time, hired Hanzhong Professor Fang Xiaoru for Shizi Fu, the table of its residence is said to be “the right school”, teaching Shu people.

And Zhu Di although thereafter killed Fang Xiaoru, but this brother of his own is also full of praise, going around to people say ‘virtuous brother nature benevolent and filial, intelligent and erudite, reputation notorious, military and civilian HuaiSu.’

Once upon a time, the ministers of Zhu Di also tolerate, but now, obviously can not tolerate, especially Zhu Di to implement the new policy, the dynasty has appeared in the situation of saber rattling.

At this time, Li Shimian directly jumped out to recommend Zhu Chun, but all of a sudden, it became a fuse for the outbreak of conflicts.

See Zhu Di murderous, Zhang Anshi then said, “Your Majesty rest your anger, I thought …… this is the hundred officials this is trying to emulate the story of the north and south list case in the time of Emperor Tai Zu Gao.”

Challenge to the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty is not unheard of, when Emperor Taizu Gao was there, I do not know how many times to challenge.

But there are just so many courageous people.

Even though they killed one batch after another in the first place, they still came forward.

Now that Zhu Di is implementing a new government, he has already been so desperate that he is not even fighting against the White Lotus Sect as a cover-up.

Hundred officials hugged the group and directly counterattacked, Zhang Anshi did not feel strange.

Many people have an image of a bookworm as a soft and scholarly person, but in reality, it’s just an image that’s created.

If their fundamental interests were touched, not to mention just confronting the imperial power, even if they were to kill a bloodbath, people would not blink an eye.

Zhu Di is obviously very angry, at this time the eyes are like sharp swords, sneered and said, “Li Shimian this person …… immediately under the driving sticker, I want to put him to death three tribes.”

Zhang Anshi, however, said, “Li Shimian is just a mere supervisor of the State Scholarship, even if he is decimated, what is the use?”

Zhu Di gave him a deep look and said, “So what does Minister Zhang think?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Killing is better than executing the heart, for such a person, if he kills directly, he instead thinks he is doing the right thing, that he is sacrificing his life for righteousness, and is honored by all the world, which instead achieves his beautiful name, I think …… it is better to… …”

Zhu had said urgently, “How do I put my heart to death?”

Zhang Anshi thought seriously and said, “This actually depends on Your Majesty.”

“Hm?” Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and raised an eyebrow.

Zhang Anshi then said, “Your …… Majesty, the court discussion pushed is the king of Shu Zhu Chun, your majesty thinks, why do they push for his highness the king of Shu?”

Zhu Di immediately said: “Naturally, this is to humiliate me, want to praise the wisdom of the king of Shu just. This kind of borrowing the past to satirize the present, borrowing the king of Shu to ridicule the means of me, they are not commonly used?”

In the words, it was hard to hide the fullness of boredom!

Zhang Anshi, however, shook his head and said, “I thought …… it was more than that …… they were forcing His Majesty to use the King of Shu.”

When Zhu Di heard this, his eyes widened slightly, as if he had been awakened all of a sudden.

Zhang Anshi then said: “Although the king of Shu is a relative, but to the scholar as a man of honor, advocating education and culture, outstanding reputation. Among the clansmen, many of the feudal lords have now moved overseas, only the king of Shu, led by a few people, but refused to move.”

“This His Highness the King of Shu …… is, to some extent, like a mirror of the opposite of His Majesty, and thus …… the world’s scholars, hold him in high esteem. He is in the Shu in the big promotion of indoctrination, but also just right for the appetite of the scholarly people. In addition to that …… I also thought that they wanted to borrow His Highness the King of Shu, to restrain the minister.”

Zhu’s eyes flickered with something, that pupil wandered, at this time he carried his hands, slowly pacing, “Heh ……”

Although His Majesty would not be happy to hear these words, Zhang Anshi still felt that it was better to let His Majesty see and understand.

Then Zhang Anshi added, “The question now is, how does His Majesty intend to resolve it? If he were to burst into a rage, then the world would need to say that His Majesty does not allow his own brothers and slaughters his ministers at the drop of a hat. But what if it’s another way? If His Majesty summons the King of Shu to the capital, and they use the might of His Majesty the King of Shu to contain the Taiping government. So no matter what choice His Majesty makes, when they do this, they are essentially rushing towards the New Deal.”

Zhu Di nodded his head and said indignantly, “I am not too generous to them! Permit them to have high rank and pay, let their grace shelter their children and grandchildren. But they are preventing the new government in every way due to their own selfishness, so bold and daring, it is really hateful.”

Zhang Anshi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before adding, “Then why not …… His Majesty call His Highness, the King of Shu, to the capital, and what about that?”

“What?” Zhu Di’s eyes snapped open and he said angrily, “Wouldn’t this fulfill their wishes?”

Zhang Anshi said, “I thought, His Highness the King of Shu, since when it is really wise, then …… is right and wrong good and bad, he is clear.”

Zhu Di obviously this but do not agree, face has a deep tangled color, frowned: “I this brother …… you do not understand.”

Who says I don’t understand?

Zhang Anshi thought in his heart, looking at the King of Shu as a person, basically, Zhang Anshi could make the assertion that he was a good person.

It can be said that the New Deal is not bad for his interests, then the New Deal is good or bad …… at least for the king of Shu, his attitude should be fair.

Even if it is influenced by the readers, but this readers …… are not also concerned about the world first, after the world s happiness and happiness?

So Zhang Anshi to Zhu Di advised: “Your Majesty, people’s concepts, can be changed, when the …… minister’s many subordinates, not also changed? And your majesty, your majesty is not at first, really no worries to support the new government? Not also because …… this method is effective, for the sake of the countryside, this is extremely supportive?”

Zhang Anshi calmly continued, “His Highness the King of Shu into the capital …… is really a more than good thing, your majesty can just be a good time to catch up with him on brotherly love, and the other things, just leave it to the minister well.”

Zhu Di glanced at him, pondered for a long time, finally managed to cover up the murderous anger in his body, and finally came to a decision, saying, “Then I will listen to you on this, but …… you have to be clear …… once you let him enter the capital, and stir up trouble, that I ……”

Zhu didn’t continue, but the meaning was already clear.

For him, this involves the face problem, he, the emperor of Jingnan origin, can still want face.

Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, smiled and said, “Your Majesty, I have …… a good thing here to show Your Majesty.”

This topic turned a little sudden, Zhu Di long exhaled, face finally also eased a little, then said: “What is it, fetch me to see.”

So Zhang Anshi reached out his hand and took out from his sleeve the zhengshi he had prepared long ago.

The eunuchs who were waiting on the side, hurriedly sent the zhengshi to Zhu Di’s face.

Zhu Di fixed his eyes on the zhangshi layer by layer to unfold, and then …… an icon revealed in front of him.

“This ……”

Zhu, for once, actually read it.

Because it’s just so intuitive.

He had been in a bit of a bad mood, and his whole being carried a bit of gloom.

But then he looked down in detail, and those somber eyes brightened violently.

His wrinkled brow finally stretched out, and he couldn’t help but say with surprise, “The commercial tax of Taiping Province has actually grown several times?”

Zhang Anshi said in a neutral tone, “Exactly, it is even thirty times that of Yingtianfu.”

Zhu Di directly sucked a mouthful of cool air, exclaimed: “I see, really teach people to believe ah, is so much silver ……”

………………

I’m a bit sick today, the second shift will be a bit later, so you can go to bed early without waiting, and wake up early tomorrow to read it.
