Chapter 339 Showing You Something Good
After Zhang Anshi finished drawing, he began to teach the official and other officials how to fill in the form.
These few people looked at it very seriously, and when they looked closely, they all showed shock.
This thing...really...compared with the money and food book, it is really different.
Especially a civil official like him who has been dealing with money and food for a long time knows the benefits of this thing.
Not only is it easier to calculate, but most importantly...it's more intuitive.
Intuition is the most important thing, and this official understands it very well.
Because not everyone is an old official who is good at money and grain, he can hold a book and flip through it to know the situation of money and grain well.
In fact, the officials he served knew almost nothing about it.
This requires patiently explaining by yourself, and the other party can only barely get a general idea when they are in the fog.
But now...with this...
It's clear at a glance.
It's all very clear at a glance, but it can be directly compared with the figures of last year, the year before last, and even other prefectures, and this...
In an instant, the official seemed to be enlightened.
For a person like him, this thing is nothing more than a boatman making a living on the water. Suddenly, the shotgun changes and the steamboat starts.
At the moment, he became excited, and Zhang Anshi began to make other tables, and patiently told him: "The most important thing is the ruler. For example, there is this kind of table called a columnar table. Look, draw it like this. And this ..."
Zhang Anshi became more and more detailed in his explanations. There was no other way. Now that the management stall was getting bigger, administrative efficiency became the biggest problem.
It is impossible for Zhang Anshi and other officials to spend a lot of time continuing to read various money and grain books.
But now, it is enough for a layman to instantly understand the current situation of various money and food in the mansion.
"This thing can be used not only in money and food, but also in other places, such as the number of schools in various prefectures and counties, as well as the situation of students enrolled, and... In short, as long as it involves numbers, you can use this There are several ways to list them. Come on, draw one and let me see."
"Yes Yes."
The official was eager to try, took a long ruler, followed suit, and began to draw seriously.
Zhang Anshi smiled slightly, of course... the administrative efficiency improved by this thing is astonishing, because it not only makes the various numbers clear and intuitive.
The most frightening thing is that it is an explosive involution tool.
What is the so-called efficiency, efficiency is KPI, that is, key performance indicators.
Before the New Deal, the achievements of local officials mainly came from the so-called official voice, and the official voice was a very illusory thing.And... almost all of this official voice is in the hands of the country sages and gentry.
Only then can they organize effectively to give you the Wanmin Umbrella, and the word-of-mouth they spread can be spread.
But after the New Deal, it is clear that official voices are no longer reliable.
At first Zhang Anshi ruled the Taiping Mansion, because the place was small, almost all the officials were under his nose, and he had an intuitive and clear understanding of who was willing to use his life and who was shrewd.
It's just that as Zhang Anshi now governs more and more places, and there are more and more officials under him, the expansion of the organization and the increase in personnel, it is no longer possible for Zhang Anshi to know all the officials.
At this time, this performance appraisal has become a very important thing.
Turn all the issues that affect local governance into certain factors of various performances, and finally use money, the number of students enrolled, business taxes, and local property output as the standard.Between prefectures and counties, even compare your performance this year with last year's performance as an important basis for your merit test.
Then... Zhang Anshi, the right governor, can sit back and relax.
Of course...the most important thing is...Zhang Anshi also intends to spread this method widely.
Isn't the DPRK and China going to set up a left governor?Then press the head of the left governor, and let people post this stuff every day to disgust you.
What nonsense official voices, in the face of the real data, in fact, there is nothing to hide.
"Yes, it looks good. This method needs to be promoted. In my opinion, don't be in a hurry to take up the post. I plan to hold a watchmaking class for civil servants in Qixia, and let the civil servants in each county choose three people." If you want to learn, some of you should come to be lecturers. This thing is simple, you can learn it for three to five days, and then... require all prefectures and counties to promote it."
As he said that, Zhang Anshi turned his head, looked at Gao Xiang and said, "Gao Fu Yin, you set an example... From now on, everything will be tabulated, and everything will start from Taiping Mansion. There will be a statistics department in Taiping Mansion."
Gao Xiang stood aside early, watching carefully, he is proficient in money and grain affairs, so he naturally knows the subtleties of it at a glance.
So Gao Xiang said: "Don't worry, the governor, this matter... the officials will arrange the arrangement, and the Taiping Mansion must be ahead of the other mansions."
Zhang Anshi said again: "Also, go to the household department later...forget it, bring all the data from all the prefectures, and make them into tables. You have to work hard, get it out for me before noon tomorrow, and after noon, I will Go face the saint."
After giving his orders, Zhang An Shian slept peacefully all night, and did not get up until the sun was high.
And the officials and some civil servants were already exhausted and paralyzed.
They stayed up all night and finally got a notebook.
Since he slept very well last night, Zhang Anshi is in good spirits today.
At this time, I took the book and opened it, but there were various numbers.
His eyes lit up a little, and he praised: "Very good! Take a good rest for two days, thank you for your hard work."
Immediately, Zhang Anshi entered the palace to have an audience.
Zhu Di had known that Zhang Anshi would enter the palace today to thank him, but at this time, Zhu Di was standing on the window sill with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly, without saying a word.
Zhang Anshi came in, saluted and said: "Minister... Thank you Your Majesty..."
"There's no need to be too polite." Zhu Di said calmly, "How is it? Is everything settled?"
"what……"
"I would like to ask you, how is your arrangement as the right governor?" Zhu Di said: "Governing several mansions is different from managing one mansion."
"Chen...has...arranged, nothing will happen."
Zhu Di suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Anshi.
Only then did Zhang Anshi realize that Zhu Di's complexion...was very ugly.
He was startled, today is not the time to come!If he had known that His Majesty was in a bad mood today, he shouldn't have come at this time.
Zhu Di forced a smile, and after sitting down, he looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "Hey, you, you... look at you, will I eat you?"
Zhang Anshi shook his head, then said, "What's on your majesty's mind?"
Zhu Di said: "There is nothing on my mind, it's just..."
He looked at Zhang Anshi suddenly: "You are the commander of the Jinyiwei, and you don't know what happened outside?"
"Ah..." Zhang Anshi said: "From yesterday to now, since I was entrusted with the title, I have been busy all the time...I didn't sleep all night last night with the affairs of the various government offices. When I got up today, I rushed to thank you, Jin Yiwei I didn't read the report."
Zhu Di nodded, which was understandable, and then he looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile: "Yesterday's court meeting... was really thrilling."
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, dare to ask..."
Zhu Di said: "The candidate for Zuo Dudu, who do you think someone recommended?"
Zhang Anshi said: "This... I can't guess."
"I can't think of it either. If they didn't play it, I really want to break my head, and I can't think of it..."
Zhu Di put away his smile a long time ago, and even seemed to be suppressing his anger.
His eyes flickered, sometimes cunning and suspicious like a fox, and at the same time like a hungry wolf, passing by many murderous intentions.
Seeing Zhu Di's reaction, Zhang Anshi couldn't help asking curiously, "Who is this person?"
Zhu Di said lightly: "Zhu Chun!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Anshi was stunned: "Which Zhu Chun?"
Zhu Di said: "How many Zhu Chuns are there in the world?"
Zhang Anshi said: "That toon, is it next to the wooden characters?"
Zhu Di snorted from his nostrils.
The royal family of the Ming Dynasty generally used rare characters, and even...maybe invented characters, and often used radicals such as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth to name them.
This approach is to avoid bumping into people.
After all, in ancient times, if an ordinary person had the same name as the emperor, it would be taboo, and the royal family's choice of rare characters solved this problem.
Zhang Anshi asked about the word next to the wood, which actually meant the same thing, because there is only one person named Zhu Chun in the world.
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but said in surprise: "Your Majesty, this...is not in compliance with the rules."
"It's really against the rules!" Zhu Di rested his finger on the copybook, and continued: "It can be seen...someone wants to jump the wall in a hurry, and wants to teach me to kill."
Zhang Anshi immediately understood.
Ting Tui is a minister of the fourth grade or above, who elects all ministers to take up official positions. In the Ming Dynasty, there were more than two hundred such ministers.
Zhu Chun is the vassal king and also Zhu Di's brother. The vassal king will become a vassal when he reaches adulthood, and he is not allowed to enter Beijing without the court's will.
But who would have thought that at this moment, someone suddenly suggested that Zhu Chun should be the governor of the left.
This...to say that he is not making trouble, is not justified.
So Zhang Anshi asked again: "Your Majesty, who is... so bold?"
Zhu Di said: "Li Shimian, Prime Minister of the Imperial Academy."
Zhang Anshi: "..."
"how?"
Zhang Anshi was speechless, because...if it was someone else, Zhang Anshi would still be amazed, how can someone be so courageous, isn't he afraid that Jin Yiwei's knife is not sharp?
But when Zhu Di mentioned this person, Zhang Anshi had an impression.
Because this gentleman... can be said to be the biggest leverage in the early Ming Dynasty. In history, this person's record is very fruitful.
In Zhu Di's later years, after Zhu Di moved his capital to Beijing, the three main halls were struck by lightning. Li Shimian, based on Dong Zhongshu's theory of "the unity of man and nature", aimed at Zhu Di's successive years of expeditions to the North, voyages to the West, and the construction of the city of Beijing. Move, impeach Zhu Di.
Zhu Di, who was so angry in his later years, had a blood pressure soared, and he almost died of anger.
Of course, although Zhu Di was not pissed to death, Zhang Anshi's brother-in-law Zhu Gaochi was almost pissed off by Li Shimian.
After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, because of his poor health, Li Shimian wrote a letter to impeach Zhu Gaochi, saying: "I heard that it is not suitable for a concubine to be close to a concubine during a funeral, and it is not suitable for a prince to be around..."
On the surface, this memorial is to persuade Zhu Gaochi not to be close to women, but in fact it is to scold Zhu Gaochi for being close to women.
So Zhu Gaochi was furious and reprimanded Li Shimian in the Golden Palace, but Li Shimian refuted it sentence by sentence on the spot.
Compared with the scholars who were born as Jinshi, it was obvious that Zhu Gaochi was no match, and Zhu Gaochi was so angry that he almost fainted.
Soon after, Zhu Gaochi died.
At that time, people said that Li Shimian was the one who killed Zhu Gaochi with anger. When Zhu Gaochi was dying, he still couldn't forget Li Shimian, holding Xia Yuanji's hand and repeating: "Shi Mian insulted me too much!"
It's a pity that Zhang Anshi's brother-in-law is still an honest man after all, and he hated Li Shimian until he was dying, but in the end he didn't give the order to kill Li Shimian.
Such a person... Zhang Anshi was not surprised by anything he brought up when he was in Tingtui.
So Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, I would like to know... when the court pushed... how many people seconded Li Shimian?"
Zhu Di said with a sullen face, "Six out of ten."
Zhang Anshi already understood in his heart that any ancestral methods are just farting.
Don't look at the civil servants holding this one by one to restrain the emperor on weekdays, but once they want to solve the problem, they immediately use it as toilet paper.
Who doesn't know that it is a big taboo for the prince to govern Gyeonggi!
But obviously... Someone who did this was forced to do so.
The actions of His Majesty and the Crown Prince have brought some people to their end.
That being the case, one of the thorns proposed Zhu Chun as the candidate, and the others followed suit.
This is not only to keep the emperor and the crown prince from coming to power, but also to express his dissatisfaction with the New Deal.
But Zhu Di fell into a very dangerous situation because of the booing and nonsense of these people.
Zhu Di started from Jing Nan, and he got what he is today in order to protect the interests of his clan and brothers.
Now everyone is saying that Zhu Di's brother Zhu Chun is wise, and he can be the left governor.
If Zhu Di was furious because of this, there would inevitably be rumors of the brothers in the palace fighting against the wall again.
What's more, the matter of serving as the governor at the moment has been made into a joke by these people.
This is obviously a deliberate attempt to make trouble with Zhu Di, and also a deliberate attempt to turn Zhu Di's implementation of the New Deal into a laughing stock.
Of course, a group of people were so bold as to sacrifice Zhu Chun, which was 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 Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, he was once called a scholar of Shu by Emperor Gao of Taizu Gao.
People say that he is filial, friendly and kind by nature, has a comprehensive collection of classics, is elegant in appearance, loves reading, is close to Confucian scholars, and can write articles.
After he arrived in Sichuan and became a vassal, he made great efforts to educate and educate the people of Shu.
And although Zhu Di killed Fang Xiaoru afterwards, he was full of praise for his brother, telling people everywhere, "My good brother is kind and filial in nature, smart and knowledgeable, well-known, and admired by the army and the people." '
In the past, the ministers were tolerant towards Zhu Di, but now they obviously couldn't bear it anymore, especially when Zhu Di implemented the New Deal, there was already a tense situation between the court and China.
But at this time, Li Shimian directly jumped out to recommend Zhu Chun, but it suddenly became the fuse of the conflict.
Seeing Zhu Di's murderous look, Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty calm down, I think... this is the story of the Northern and Southern Lists case when the officials wanted to imitate Emperor Taizu Gao."
It is not that the Ming Dynasty did not have challenges to the imperial power. When Emperor Taizu Gao was around, he did not know how many times he challenged.
But there are so many brave people.
Although they killed batch after batch at the beginning, they still continued to follow.
Now that Zhu Di is carrying out the New Deal, he is trying to see nothing, and he doesn't even hit the fig leaf for attacking the White Lotus Sect.
Zhang Anshi didn't find it strange that all the officials held a group and counterattacked directly.
Many people have the impression of a scholar as a weak scholar, but in fact, this is just a created image.
If it touches on their fundamental interests, not to mention just confronting the imperial power, even if they kill a bloody river, they won't blink an eye.
Zhu Di was obviously very angry, his eyes were like sharp swords at this time, and he said with a sneer, "Li Shimian...download the driving sticker immediately, and I will punish his three clans."
But Zhang Anshi said: "Li Shimian is no more than a supervisor of the Imperial Academy, even if he is killed, what's the use?"
Zhu Di took a deep look at him and said, "Then what does Zhang Qing think?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Killing is worse than killing one's heart. If he kills such a person directly, he thinks that he is doing the right thing, that he sacrificed his life for righteousness, and is admired by all generations. This has made his reputation , the minister thought that... it is not as good as..."
Zhu Di has already said urgently: "How to punish one's heart?"
Zhang Anshi thought about it seriously: "This actually depends on Your Majesty."
"Huh?" Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and raised his eyebrows.
Zhang Anshi then said: "Your Majesty...the one recommended by the court is the King of Shu, Zhu Chun. Your Majesty thinks why they push His Highness the King of Shu so hard?"
Zhu Di immediately said: "Naturally, they want to use this to humiliate me and to praise the wiseness of the King of Shu. Don't they often use this method of using the past to satirize the present and the King of Shu to ridicule me?"
In the words, it is difficult to hide the boredom!
But Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: "I think... more than that... They are forcing His Majesty to use the King of Shu."
After Zhu Di heard this, his eyes widened slightly, as if he was suddenly awakened.
Zhang Anshi continued: "Although the King of Shu is a clan relative, he regards himself as a scholar-bureaucrat, advocates enlightenment, and has a good reputation. Among the clan, many vassal kings have moved overseas one after another. Only a few people headed by the King of Shu are Refuse to move."
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu...to some extent, he is like a mirror opposite to His Majesty, so...the scholars all over the world respect him very much. His great prosperity in the middle of Shu also suits the appetite of the scholars. Besides ...The minister thought that they wanted to use His Royal Highness the King of Shu to control the minister."
There was something flickering in Zhu Di's eyes, and the pupils were vacillating. At this moment, he was walking slowly with his hands behind his back: "Heh..."
Although His Majesty must not be happy to hear these words, Zhang Anshi still thinks it is better for His Majesty to understand.
So Zhang Anshi said again: "The problem now is, how does His Majesty plan to solve it? If he is furious, then the people of the world will say that His Majesty will not tolerate his brothers, and will slaughter ministers if they disagree with each other. But what about another angle? If Your Majesty They summoned the King of Shu to the capital, and they took advantage of His Highness the power of the King of Shu to contain the Taiping Mansion. So no matter what His Majesty chooses, what they do is essentially for the New Deal."
Zhu Di nodded and said angrily, "I'm not disrespectful to them! Allow them high officials and rich salary, and let their descendants be kind to their descendants. But they stop the New Deal everywhere because of their own selfishness. Such bold and reckless actions are really hateful."
Zhang Anshi lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and then said: "Then why not... His Majesty invites His Highness King of Shu to Beijing, so what?"
"What?" Zhu Di opened his eyes suddenly, and said angrily, "Isn't this fulfilling their wish?"
Zhang Anshidao: "I think that since His Royal Highness the King of Shu is really wise, then... he can distinguish right from wrong and good from evil."
Zhu Di obviously didn't agree with this, with a deeply troubled look on his face, he frowned and said, "My brother...you don't understand."
Who said I don't understand?
Zhang Anshi thought to himself, looking at the King of Shu, basically, Zhang Anshi can conclude that he is a good man.
It can be said that the New Deal did not harm his interests, so whether the New Deal is good or bad... At least for the King of Shu, his attitude should be fair.
Even if he is influenced by scholars, doesn't this scholar... also pay attention to worrying about the world's worries first, and enjoying the world's joys later?
So Zhang Anshi persuaded Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, people's ideas can be changed. Didn't many of the ministers' subordinates also change? And Your Majesty, did Your Majesty really support the New Deal without hesitation at the beginning?" ? Isn't it also because... this method is effective, and for the sake of the country and the country, is this why you support it?"
Zhang Anshi continued calmly and calmly: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu's entry to Beijing... is really the best thing. His Majesty can just have a good talk about brotherhood with him. I will leave other matters to the minister."
Zhu Di glanced at him, pondered for a long time, finally concealed the murderous aura on his body, and finally made a decision, saying: "Then I will listen to you, but...you have to be clear...Once he is allowed to enter the capital, he will cause trouble." Right and wrong, then I..."
Zhu Di didn't continue talking, but the meaning was already clear.
For him, this involves a matter of face, and he, an emperor who was born in Jing Nan, still has to face.
Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, here I have something good to show you."
The topic turned a bit suddenly, Zhu Di let out a long breath, his face finally softened a little, and said: "What is it, bring me to have a look."
So Zhang Anshi stretched out his hand, and took out the memorabilia he had prepared from his sleeve.
The eunuch who was waiting on the side quickly sent the memorial to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di took a closer look, and the melodies unfolded layer by layer, and then... icon by icon appeared in front of him.
"This……"
Zhu Di actually understood it this time.
Because it's so intuitive.
He was in a bad mood at first, and his whole person was a little gloomy.
But when he looked carefully, his gloomy eyes suddenly brightened.
His frowning brows finally relaxed, and he couldn't help but surprise and said: "The commercial tax of Taiping Mansion has increased several times?"
Zhang Anshi was full of air and authenticity: "Exactly, it is thirty times that of Ying Tianfu."
Zhu Di gasped and exclaimed, "I saw it, it's unbelievable, it's so much money..."
………………
I feel a little uncomfortable today, and the second episode will be a little later. You can go to bed early and watch it tomorrow without waiting.
