After Yang Bo left, Ge Shouli took on the role of supervising Yuan Fu. Whenever Yuan Fu shocked the emperor, Ge Shouli would stand up and rebuke loudly, even if the emperor was happy.
For example, in April of the fifth year of Wanli, the eunuchs of Ciqing Palace and Cining Palace issued an order to ask the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to renovate the palace. It was the emperor's wedding, so the palace was repaired for his son's wedding, and only the front side was repaired, not the palace. On the back, the eunuch of the inner transport warehouse valued it at 117,000 silver.
Zhang Juzheng led the cabinet, Ministry of Industry Minister Guo Chaobin and others to report: The way to govern a country is to be economical and efficient, and work is the biggest drain on money. Construction of the Ciqing and Cining palaces was started in the second year of Wanli and was completed the year before last. On the day of its completion, the ministers and others paid a respectful visit to the majestic and colorful palace, which is no different from the heavenly palace. It has not been more than three years since it was as magnificent as before, but they want to destroy it and add more decorations. Is it because the regulations are not prepared?
Zhang Juzheng opposed the construction of a palace to welcome the emperor's wedding.
After hearing the news, the two palace ladies stopped, and Zhu Yijun thought that the money could be withdrawn from the internal funds. However, Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Dowager Li ultimately did not want to cause more trouble and did not allow it.
Zhu Yijun even went to the two palaces to discuss the matter with the Queen Mother, and the matter just passed. Ge Shouli angrily scolded Zhang Juzheng for his power, saying that the emperor's wedding was a big deal, how could he use it in the name of repairing the province? To stop the Queen Mother from repairing the palace?
The Ministry of Household Affairs entered the wedding hall to buy palace money, grain, and various pearls worth 80,000 taels of silver, 2,800 taels of gold, and 100 taels of gold. Zhang was in the cabinet, but he still refused in the name of building a province, and also returned He specifically interviewed Emperor Chen and persuaded the emperor to be thrifty by saying that Song Renzong did not like pearls and jade.
Ge Shouli also questioned Zhang Juzheng's behavior, but Wang Guangguang still sent the 80,000 taels of silver and 2,900 taels of gold to the internal funds.
Now that Zhang Juzheng has left the court, Ge Shouli no longer has to monitor Zhang Juzheng. He is old and completely unable to handle ministry affairs. The yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is also a place for war. Ge Shouli plans to beg for his remains and return home.
"Why don't Mr. Ge go to Xishan and be neighbors with your husband?" Zhu Yijun said about his plan.
Building Xishan into a center for retired Minggong activities and gathering these Minggong officials in Xishan is actually the same as the powerful tomb guarding by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It is a way to prevent the local gentry from becoming powerful.
Ge Shouli shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am from the Jin Party, so I won't go."
Zhang Siwei and his accomplices were sent to the Execution Court and 728 people were beheaded. However, the Jin Party was still deeply rooted and everlasting. As the leader of the Jin Party, he still did not bother the emperor in the capital. should.
If the emperor wanted to kill Wang Chonggu, wouldn't he, Ge Shouli, the former party leader, suffer the same fate?
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and agreed with Ge Shouli's statement. After writing for a long time, Zhu Yijun approved Ge Shouli's official memorial. He said slightly sadly: "Ge Gong returns to his hometown in rich clothes, and I allow Ge Gong to return home with a post."
"Gong Ge, go slow."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness." Ge Shouli saluted again, stood up and exited the Guanghan Hall, turning around and leaving.
After walking out of the Guanghan Palace, Ge Shouli bowed his head again and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I take my leave."
This is how the court is, some people come and others leave. Ge Shouli was still very lucky that he was able to escape unscathed.
Zhu Yijun kept watching Ge Shouli's figure disappear between the palace walls. The next time he heard from Ge Shouli, it would probably be an obituary.
The prelude to a war between the Ming Dynasty and Tuman Khan is becoming more and more obvious.
At the beginning of April, Tuman Khan gathered a heavy army of more than 60,000 and launched another expedition against Daning Guard. While pretending to attack Daning Guard, he forced his troops to attack Zhangwu and destroyed Daxing, Jingjing and Tuanshan Forts. He patrolled Yu Zhao in Daxing Fort. He led his troops to resist, but was defeated and retreated to Zhangwu.
Li Chengliang of Liaodong led two thousand troops and rushed to support Zhangwu at starry night. Then he personally led more than 20,000 troops and moved towards Zhangwu.
As Li Chengliang said, Zhangwu, the key place in Liaodong, cannot be lost. This place's geographical location is extremely critical, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
With only 1,500 troops, Hou Yuzhao held on until reinforcements arrived in Zhangwu. Tuman Khan Tumen, Subahai, Qieji, Huangtaiji, Chibaduer, Chalik and others continued to besiege for three days. Heavy rain obscures eyes, horses cannot move, and bows cannot draw.
Tuman Khan really wants to recapture Zhangwu, otherwise when Qi Jiguang's turn comes in winter, Tuman Khan may really get out of Liaodong.
Before the Bei Liao River surged, Inspector Hou Yu Zhao and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Su Chengxun led 1,500 troops to cross the river in the rain.
Hou Yu Zhao and Su Chengxun originally wanted to set up an ambush to block the enemy's retreat. Wang Rulong, the commander-in-chief of the Daning Guards, and Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Guards and Ning Yuanbo, were leading their troops. As long as they were delayed for three days, they could encircle and annihilate them.
Dong Hu suffered a big loss at the hands of Qi Jiguang. When he saw it was raining, he knew he was going to suffer. He broke into the Golden Summit tent and asked the Tuman Khan to withdraw his troops. If the Tuman Khan refused to withdraw his troops overnight, Dong Hu would leave on his own. .
Dong Hu's nose was so sensitive that he was able to survive several rounds under Qi Jiguang's hands, all thanks to his keen sense of smell.
Tuman Khan thought about it again and again, but still followed Dong Fox's advice and retreated immediately while the rain slowed down a bit.
If Tuman Khan hesitated for one more day, no, even for half a day, the Ming army would be able to complete the encirclement.
But when Dong Hu saw it was raining, he remembered Li Chengliang's request for snow in Liaoyang, and Tuman Khan finally escaped.
Su Chengxun led his army to pursue again and captured the heads of 432 thieves at Daxing Fort, and recovered the third fortress outside Zhangwu.
Early the next morning, the court meeting was held as usual. The person who presided over the meeting was Lu Tiaoyang, the first assistant. Zhang Juzheng took leave to take care of his father. Until now, Lu Tiaoyang is presiding over the court meeting.
"The Ministry of War asks for credit for the generals and soldiers who led the Liaodong campaign." Lu Tiaoyang said the first topic of the day, rewards. If you win a battle, you will naturally be rewarded.
"I got it right yesterday, Yuan Fu, is there any money to reward this national fund?" Zhu Yijun has already approved the memorial asking for merit.
Wang Guoguang immediately bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, we have money now!"
It is indeed shameful for people to beg each other for food. In the past two years, the national money has become abundant. Wang Guoguang has not come to beg for food for a long time. When the emperor opened his mouth, Wang Guangguang immediately said that he had money. This begging was really shameful.
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "The internal funds will still reward the soldiers as usual."
"It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty that your Majesty cares about the army. Your Majesty is a wise man." Lu Tiaoyang discussed it with Wang Chonggu and Wang Guoguang and did not intend to object. Since the second year of Wanli, His Majesty has begun to pay for the army from his own pocket. The favor was rewarded, and as His Majesty said, this has become a routine.
"What's going on with Hou Yuzhao? A weak scholar, he's following him across the river. What trouble will he cause?" Zhu Yijun looked at the newspaper. Hou Yuzhao just led his troops to guard Zhangwu. How about he take the initiative to attack?
Hou Yuzhao actually crossed the river to fight in person, which was beyond Zhu Yijun's expectation.
Zhu Yijun does not know how to fight, but this is the North Liaohe River. The Liuhe River will definitely swell during heavy rains. If you cross the river, you will not be able to come back.
The purpose of crossing the river was to block the enemy. Most of the encirclement tactics were to encircle three and miss one. The crossing point of Hou Yuzhao and Su Chengxun was at the place where Tuman Khan retreated. It was a posture of encirclement and annihilation on all sides.
This is definitely the most tragic place. The soldiers are fierce and the battle is dangerous. Hou Yuzhao doesn't know how to be afraid, so he just goes with the soldiers.
"Hou Yuzhao promised the soldiers that he would be there in Zhangwu." Wan Shihe knew why Hou Yuzhao wanted to cross the river to prevent Tuman Khan from withdrawing his troops.
After Hou Yu Zhao reclaimed the land, he told the soldiers and civilians that he and Zhang Wu would live and die together. A gentleman keeps his promise, and Hou Yu Zhao crossed the river to stop the enemy entirely to fulfill his promise.
Hai Rui said with certainty: "Hou Yu Zhao upholds justice, is loyal to the emperor and the country, and has integrity and integrity."
The courtiers first confirmed that Hou Yuzhao's behavior was out of the desire to destroy the enemy, not to gain temporary fame. Whoever goes to the battlefield to gain fame would not live long?
If any humble Confucian dared to do so, Hai Rui would kowtow to see them off and expel the humble Confucian from their place of origin.
Qi Jiguang came to the Kanyu map and pointed to the Liuhe River and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is willing to cross the river. It is for morale. When fighting across the river, heavy rain will inevitably raise the water. These 1,500 troops went out of the city to cross the river to set up an ambush, and their retreat was cut off. When 1,500 soldiers faced an enemy force of 60,000 who wanted to break through, their morale was bound to be shaken. Since Hou Yuzhao had been in Zhangwu for a long time and he crossed the river with the army, all the soldiers knew that the three-day siege of the enemy was true, so they naturally fought hard to kill them. enemy."
"Daxing Fort was created by Hou Yu Zhao. As long as these 1,500 soldiers raid Daxing Fort and hold on here, Tuman Khan will really not be able to escape when Wang Rulong and Li Chengliang arrive."
"It's a pity that Tuman Khan still noticed it and ran away when he saw the rain, so he couldn't make it."
Qi Jiguang explained why Hou Yuzhao must follow him across the river. Because Hou Yuzhao was a civil servant and had been reclaiming wasteland in Zhangwu for a long time. He followed him across the river, which played an important role in stabilizing the morale of the army. One thousand five hundred people blocked the enemy's sixty thousand. See It seems stupid, but if you can't attack at one time, your morale will wax and wane.
In Qi Jiguang's view, there is nothing mysterious about fighting, it is very simple. Sixty thousand people may seem like a lot, but when morale is low, these sixty thousand people are not as scary as sixty thousand pigs, because people will worry, fear, and If there is internal strife, you will become worried and surrender.
However, Tuman Khan was not a stupid donkey. When he saw the rain, he knew that it was not good for the cavalry to fight, so he ran away.
"That's it." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Hou Aiqing has been there for three years. If the war goes well, let him come to Beijing to report on his duties this year, and I will also meet him. If the war goes wrong, there is no need. Know."
"I obey the decree." Wan Shihe bowed his head and said.
Lu Tiaoyang wrote the floating note, thanked the soldiers, encouraged Hou Yu Zhao, Su Chengxun and other civil and military officials, and then asked His Majesty to use the seal.
Lu Tiaoyang took out another memorial by Zhang Xueyan and said solemnly: "Zhang Xueyan, the governor of Liaodong, reported that the barbarians coveted the king's title and threatened to ask for the title, but the soldiers fought hard for a long time, and once they heard the captives' words, they had the hope of peace with the army. , I don’t know that the captives are coming to pay the money, but you allow them to invite you? I am sincerely afraid of the flattery of the captives."
Qi Jiguang once planned to capture Quanningwei in one go, which was a typical military adventure.
Because he was worried that the occupation of Daning Guards in the fourth year of Wanli would be his last battle out of the fortress, and he looked at the situation in Liaodong. Once the northern barbarians like Tuman Khan and the eastern barbarians like Jianzhou Jurchen colluded, it would inevitably become a major disaster for the Ming Dynasty.
After hearing Zhang Xueyan's request, Qi Jiguang sighed. If the imperial court agrees, and the Beijing camp goes to war in September this year, no matter how well-prepared it is, it will be in vain. Moreover, it will be very difficult for the Beijing camp to use force again.
It is not impossible for the court to make a decision to crown the Tuman Khan as king.
Zhang Juzheng's father died and Ding You left the court. The Ming Dynasty also needed stability. There were many people who wanted to retake the Daning Guard and give it up when it was good. The soldiers on the border were fighting hard and felt that negotiating peace might not be a bad thing.
Tan Lun thought again and again and said: "Your Majesty, Tuman Khan's threat to seize the king is just a tactic of suspicion. Tuman Khan claims that he is the Great Khan of Qianyuan Zhengshuo and is the Great Khan of the clan. As the saying goes, Anda Khan is a traitor to Changshengtian. He is really Are you willing to bow your head and profess evil? It's just a matter of wagging your lips and blustering your tongue to encourage the morale of the army."
Ma Ziqiang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is not a bad idea. The Taifu has left the court. At present, stability is the priority. With the army at his side, the treacherous ministers must be timid and dare not cause trouble. This mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and two kings on the same grassland will definitely fight. A pot of porridge, the Ming Dynasty recharged its energy, and it might not be impossible to wait for work with ease and reap the benefits of a fisherman."
Whether it is war or peace, even the voices within the Jin Party are not unified. Ge Shouli went to see Wang Chonggu to confirm this matter.
The Ministry of War and Hubu were in charge of fighting, while the other three departments were in charge of peace, including Wang Chonggu, the Minister of Punishment, Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of Rites, Guo Chaobin, the Minister of Work, and Lu Tiaoyang, the first assistant. Each had good reasons.
The main battle believes that opportunities cannot be missed and will never come back.
Zhu He thought that it would be better for the emperor to leave the country and the country to be in turmoil. It would be better to be stable. As long as the barbarians did not invade the border, everyone could live their own lives.
Lu Tiaoyang also felt that it was not suitable to use force now. If he wanted to use force, it would be more appropriate to invite Zhang Juzheng back. In order to stabilize the court situation and have a stable rear area, the soldiers could fight bravely against the enemy.
As for Wan Shihe, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, it is unrealistic to expect him to express his position before the direction of the wind is clear. Wan Shihe mainly tries to adapt to the wind.
"What does Commander Qi think?" Zhu Yijun asked Qi Jiguang's opinion. He was going to fight the war. He could not understand the military affairs without asking the generals and relying only on the civil servants.
"I do want to fight, but I also think what Yuan Fu said is reasonable." Qi Jiguang thought about it again and again, then bowed his head and said, he wanted to fight, but Lu Tiaoyang's worry was not unreasonable.
"Then let's fight." After thinking about it for a moment, Wan Shihe, who had clearly figured out the direction of the wind, made a statement. He said with a smile: "Sir, you are in Xishan, which is only fifty miles away from the capital. It only takes half a day and a day. If something happens, go to Xishan to bring in reinforcements."
"If the Dou Victorious Buddha escorts Jin Chanzi to obtain scriptures and something happens, why don't you go to heaven and ask for reinforcements?"
"What you said, Mr. Zhang is not omnipotent." Ma Ziqiang's attitude softened, but he still didn't agree.
When Lu Tiaoyang heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "What Dazai Wan said is reasonable. Mr. Zhang will only be back in court for one day. Once there are changes on the front line, it will be easy to deal with it."
Zhang Juzheng did not go back to Jiangling, but to Xishan. The round trip only took one day.
Zhu Yijun finally nodded and said: "Then let's not seal it for now. This is not enough. The conflicts have not been fully conflicted, so we still have to fight, so let's fight."
Zhang Juzheng returned to power, and all state affairs were decided by His Majesty, so His Majesty made the decision and took it as a matter of course.
"Mr. Wang Ge, I have some doubts. The Ming Dynasty Huidian compiled by Mr. Wang, in the book of punishment names, says that those who privately engrave seals and ribbons will be executed. This law is very strict, but it has been done in the past dynasties without any intention of leniency. Why? ?" Zhu Yijun asked Wang Chonggu, the Minister of Punishment, about the issue of punishment names.
The death penalty in the Ming Dynasty had to be approved by the emperor before it could be executed. Zhu Yijun noticed that in one case, a seal was privately engraved and the execution was directly asked, so he asked about the purpose of this punishment.
Those who carve seals and ribbons privately will be beheaded, regardless of the number of actions they have committed, or the amount of wealth they have earned. Anyone who carves seals and ribbons privately will be beheaded. Zhu Yijun just feels that this punishment is too severe.
Wang Chonggu thought about it and said: "The seal is related to the royal system and the calendar talisman verification. Therefore, the law: Anyone who forges will be beheaded. The seal and ribbon here refer to the official seal. But if the official seal is used to punish the crime, there will be few innocent people." If you use the name of Qin Tie, you may cause serious harm to the court's lack of integrity and constitution."
"That's it, just follow the old rules." Zhu Yijun agreed with Wang Chonggu's opinion.
He asked if the punishment was too severe. Wang Chonggu's answer was that it was not severe. He also made it very clear that those who engrave official seals privately would be executed. He also said that changing this article might violate the Constitution. All the laws these days Anti-counterfeiting relies on handwriting, seals, and seals. Privately engraving official seals and treason are equally guilty.
"I obey the decree." Wang Chonggu breathed a sigh of relief. Your Majesty is not a person who seeks fame and reputation. This change may seem like benevolent government, but it is nothing more than benevolence. What is bad is the public order and good customs of the entire country, and what is bad is etiquette.
Lu Tiaoyang took out another memorial and said: "The official department gave Li Xueyi a report on the reduction of the post station. One said: to verify the actual savings, check the number of stations; the second said: to discuss the actual reduction and reduction to care for the people. The third one is: check the actual supply to compensate for the burden; the fourth one is: check the actual collection and collection to compensate for the burden."
Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, looked at Lu Tiaoyang with wide eyes and asked blankly: "No, what Li Xueyi means is that the Ming Dynasty should abolish the inns?"
"Well, that's what he meant." Lu Tiaoyang handed Li Xueyi's memorial to Tan Lun. The memorial was right in front of him. He just briefly and succinctly explained the meaning of the memorial. This was not his intention.
Tan Lun squinted his eyes to read the memorial, then looked at Lu Tiaoyang and started laughing: "Ha, ha, ha ha ha!"
"The remarks made by cheap Confucians are not trustworthy." Tan Lun gave the opinion of the Ministry of War. Li Xueyi's remarks are actually based on the basic argument that if the court has more things to do, the people will have more things to do. Just ten dan less grain, so that local taxes can be reduced by three or four cents. Wouldn’t these people benefit from it?
Post soldiers are a kind of labor service, and they are also a kind of hereditary military households. The post stations in the Ming Dynasty had to raise horses and collect food and drink for the officials who came and went. Li Xueyi felt that the post stations were a waste of people and money, so it was better to abolish the reduction part.
This made Tan Lun smile immediately.
Tan Lun stopped smiling and shook his head and explained: "He thinks he is being lenient to the people, and thinks that letting the governors investigate and deal with them carefully will benefit the people? How will the postmen who make a living be placed after the post stations are abolished and downsized? He thinks that by abolishing some of the inns, he can save money, but is it really frugal? These inns are like blood vessels in the human body. By abolishing and reducing inns, is he planning to dismember our Ming Dynasty?"
"This person is not fulfilling his duties. He should go to the border area to serve as a director. He should go to Yunnan and Guizhou. When he gets there, it will probably be clear why the Ming Dynasty maintains the inn."
"Wan Dazai, what do you think of this person of yours?"
Li Xueyi was not only a student of Wan Shihe, but also a civil servant. Tan Lun never interfered with the appointment and dismissal of civil servants. When Wang Chonggu brought a bunch of Jin party members to impeach Tan Lun for coughing in the altar of sun, Tan Lun Neither fought back.
This Li Xueyi's advice is really outrageous.
After reading Li Xueyi's memorial, Wan Shihe felt sweat dripping from his forehead and said angrily: "This Li Xueyi, I will definitely discipline him!"
"What Da Sima said makes sense, let him go to Guizhou, endure some down-to-earth hardships, and work down-to-earth for a few years, and you will know how powerful he is. This kind of hollow pen barrel is most common, especially in the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College. , I feel that if I stay in the Hanlin Academy, I will be the best in the world."
"If you don't know, you can learn it; if you don't know, you can read it. Talking nonsense will only make people laugh."
Yuanfu Lu Tiaoyang was reluctant to write, looking at the emperor on the platform, waiting for the emperor's decision.
Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng have a very tacit understanding. Zhang Juzheng wrote the floating ticket himself for this kind of matter, and Zhu Yijun made the decision himself?
The emperor and Lu Tiaoyang, the emperor and his ministers, stared at each other for a while, and then Lu Tiaoyang quickly wrote the note and presented it to the emperor.
Part of the cabinet's decision-making power comes from this floating vote. In most cases, the emperor will adopt the opinions of his ministers and directly approve the decision. This is part of the cabinet's decision-making power on state affairs.
Lu Tiaoyang is extremely qualified to be the second assistant, but he still lacks confidence as the first assistant.
"Recently, there have been some problems with six volumes and one account." Wang Guangguang saw that Emperor Zhu Pi had finished the issue of abolition and reduction of post stations, and talked about six volumes and one account. The issue of six volumes and one account was a sharp tool for Ming Dynasty's finance, taxation and official administration. The sword is used by financial officials to collect taxes, and officials use it to clarify corruption, but Wang Guangguang began to supplement the problem of six volumes and one account.
"Our officials in the Ming Dynasty really have decrees and countermeasures. The law and the six volumes and one account have become the only magic weapon for lazy administration in the hands of some officials. Specifically, they are apportionment and performance making. .”
"How to apportion? Power is not delegated, but responsibility is delegated. How to make a list? Six books and one account are required by the court. When an incident occurs, dozens of lists will be decentralized. Whoever signs and deeds will be responsible."
"Our imperial magistrate loves to make reports and make payments."
"This spring, there was a locust plague in Jiangxi. A clerk in the clerk's office of Ruichang County, Jiujiang Prefecture, made seventeen forms in one day. Qingzhang asked the clerk to fill in the form; returned the land and asked the clerk to fill in the form; and checked the number of people. , asking the scribe to fill in the forms; complaining of grievances, and asking the scribe to fill in the forms; all kinds of things, it seems that the two axes of apportioning and making forms have become a universal magic weapon that can solve almost any problem."
"In the end, a logic was formed that under severe punishment, there must be brave men."
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Guoguang, frowned and said, "Da Situ, this is a big matter, please explain it carefully."
Wang Guoguang said with a serious face: "Under heavy punishment, there will be brave men."
"When an order comes from above, it is distributed. The responsibility is given to the person who signs the signature, and he goes to live and drink. If the responsibility is delegated, should the power be delegated? But it is not at all. The scribes are scratching their bald heads. If he has no power, what errands does he have to do? The sky will not respond to his prayers, and the earth and earth will not work."
"Such heavy punishments will inevitably lead to the Ming Dynasty officials, in order to avoid heavy punishments, they can only deceive and whitewash the peace. The deception is temporary, and they are superfluous and make superficial remarks. This leads to the locust plague. Last year they said We tried to control locusts, but we didn’t control them at all.”
"Under such heavy punishment, one thing will inevitably happen, that is, the people above know that the people below are going to deceive and deliberately increase the size, and the people below know that the people below are going to increase the size and deliberately deceive. With a tacit understanding of each other, this is the test method. Naturally, it was corrupted, and these six books and one account were overwhelmed by the vast account books.”
Regarding the memorial of Jiangxi Governor Pan Jixun, Wang Guoguang criticized his own six-volume account and some shortcomings of the examination method. This is not to say that Zhang Juzheng was at fault, and Wang Guoguang did not need to behead Mr. Yan immediately for his fault. A government order is a government order.
A government decree is perfected through continuous advancement. This is in line with the basic law of the development of things in the theory of contradiction. Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.
"Actually, it's easy to handle." Wan Shihe said with a smile, looking at the kingdom's appearance as if it were facing a formidable enemy.
"Easy to handle?!" Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Shihe and said in great surprise: "Wan Dazai, this is no joke. Government administration and finance and taxation are the core tasks of making a country rich, sir. You can't talk nonsense."
Wan Shihe said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in the final analysis, there is still one word in it, power, power of power."
"It's not that the officials don't want to do it, it's that they need the power to do it. But the power they need is in the hands of those court officials. These court officials spend all day in brothels. This official If you can't do it as a member, can't you just resort to fraud?"
"Actually, it's really simple. If something goes wrong, behead the official. If something goes wrong in the county, behead the magistrate. If something goes wrong in the government, behead the prefect. If something goes wrong in the province, behead the magistrate. If something goes wrong in the province, behead the magistrate." The heads of political envoys and governors have to solve this dilemma.”
"Ah?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Shihe, his eyes widened. All the court officials looked at Wan Shihe, as if, it seemed, maybe, could this really be the case?
Wan Shihe further explained: "The matter that Da Situ is concerned about is actually a chaos caused by random accountability. Random accountability means that when accountability is imposed, the accountability is not directed to the real owner."
"When something goes wrong in the county, the officials should be held accountable. When something goes wrong in the government, the sixth branch should be held accountable. If the person in charge is not found correctly, it will naturally lead to random accountability. Forced by heavy punishment, he will inevitably resort to fraud."
"If something goes wrong, my subordinates will be held responsible. Shouldn't the rightful owner just continue visiting brothels?"
"How to manage the granary is how to deal with fraud and deceit."
"When the fire dragon burns the warehouse, the heads of the left and right officials will fall off; to whitewash the balance, they will take off their hats and lose their heads together. This requires finding the right person, either personally watching it, or going to the brothel by yourself, and delegating the power to the handler people."
Zhu Yijun sat up straight and looked at Wan Shihe in disbelief. He kept slapping his right hand on top of his left hand, nodding his head and saying: "Wonderful, wonderful, Wan Dazai, he is really a great minister of the country, whip it in!" "
Wan Shihe said very humbly: "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. I am just trying to pick up people's wisdom. As the chief minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I probably don't understand what I do. Mr. is in charge of all matters in the ministry. When I encounter problems, I just go there." I went to the Quanchu Guild Hall to ask Mr. Zhang for advice, and after going back and forth, I learned something about Mr. Zhang, and I took it out to show my shame."
"Holding the seal ribbon, but in the brothel, holding the task assigned by the stall, but a clever woman can't make a meal without rice. This person who holds the seal ribbon is in a dilemma."
Wan Shihe secretly went to Zhang Juzheng's place to make up lessons!
To put it bluntly, this trick is the top-level responsibility system. This matter is left to you, the top-level leader, and this top-level leader is fully responsible. If something goes wrong, the court will not ask others, but only the top-level leader's responsibility. This is Wan Shihe's understanding of official governance. .
Simple, but really useful.
Please give me monthly votes! Ooooooooooooooo! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
