Great Tang Broom Star

The latest website: The official is Gu Ming, and he is Liao Youchang's confidant.

He stood outside the door, and said coldly: "The envoy asked you, do you know if you are wrong?"

Di Renjie said without hesitation: "I am not wrong!"

Gu Ming smiled: "I forgot to tell you, in just these two days, there have been quite a few memorials to impeach you."

Di Renjie said: "Others like to be smelly, but I hate it."

Gu Ming's face darkened, "I'm here to tell you that Chang'an's documents have arrived."

Di Renjie stood up, "Where are you going?"

Gu Ming smiled, "Go to the southwest, where the Khitan people gather. By the way, the Khitan people hate Datang, so they went there to serve as a county captain. Be careful."

Di Renjie packed his things, mainly books and clothes. After getting these things on the horse's back, he led the horse out.

"The Diming Mansion is leaving!"

Word has spread.

Gu Ming is waiting in the county yard, and he will supervise Di Renjie's departure.

Di Renjie is here.

A horse with several large bundles on its back.

"Let's go."

Gu Ming nodded, and finally said: "You are just a county magistrate, you are not in charge of noble people's affairs. People value self-knowledge, but you don't know yourself, that's why today's catastrophe happened, go to the southwest to take care of it yourself!"

Di Renjie was silent.

The two left the county hall one after the other.

A group of people stood outside.

These people are male and female, old and young.

They have one thing in common, that is, they dress plainly.

Gu Ming stopped, "What are you waiting for here?"

The people are silent.

Gu Ming is the governor of Huazhou, and his official rank is higher than that of Di Renjie.

He stared at these people and shouted: "Aren't you going away?"

Nobody moved.

Da da!

The sound of horseshoes came lonely and monotonous.

Di Renjie came out with a bamboo hat and a big burden on his back, leading the horse.

Those people looked up.

Gu Ming felt a burst of grief and anger.

"Diming Mansion!"

Di Renjie was stunned, "What are you waiting for..."

An old man stepped forward, "Di Ming Mansion, I heard that you were demoted?"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "It's just a different place."

"Why?" asked the old man.

Di Renjie looked at these people and said: "There is no reason, you just have to live a good life..."

Because Li Yifu is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the documents are passed on quickly.

Liao Youchang discredited Di Renjie for blocking the recruitment of civilian husbands, so he asked people to spread the news.

To beat your opponent is to praise yourself.

Liao Youchang felt that he was right.

But the people came.

But what can they do here?

Gu Ming felt that this was a good opportunity to spread the word, "Last year, an official in Zheng County corrupted tax money, and Di Renjie couldn't escape the guilt. A document was sent from Chang'an to demote him to the southwest."

The old man said tremblingly: "But the Diming Mansion hadn't come to Huazhou at that time, why is it his fault?"

People are not stupid in many cases, but are limited by lack of information and narrow vision, leading to ignorance.

"The Diming Mansion stopped Huazhou from enlisting civilian husbands, and then this matter was placed on him. This is deliberate!"

The old man said angrily: "What is the crime of the Diming Mansion?"

Gu Ming sneered, "Aren't you going to take the blame for him? Whoever stands up, I will fulfill him!"

The old man was shocked, his lips trembled, and he lowered his head, "I'm incompetent, I'm sorry."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Go back, everyone."

The people did not move.

Gu Ming sneered, "I am here today, who dares to stand up?"

The crowd fell silent.

"Give way."

A somewhat subtle and polite voice came.

A gap opened in the crowd, and a middle-aged man came out.

"My old man, Wang Fu, is willing to take the blame for the Diming Mansion."

Gu Ming sneered, "Write down this person's name."

The little official beside him smiled and said, "Don't worry, Chang Shi, I have a good memory, and I can't forget a few names."

One person stepped out of the crowd.

"My name is Wang Lao Er, and I am willing to take the blame for the Di Ming Mansion."

"I'm Wang Laosan, and I'm willing to take the blame for the Diming Mansion."

The little official's complexion changed slightly.

"My name is Chen Fuji, and I am willing to take the blame for the Di Ming Mansion."

People stood up one by one.

old man, young man...

Gu Ming's face turned livid, "Remember everything!"

Di Renjie's vision blurred.

He thought the people would be timid...

The old man stood up tremblingly, and said in shame: "Diming Mansion, I'm wrong."

The woman beside said: "Ah Weng, whoever treats us well, we will treat him well!"

boom!

In an instant, Di Renjie felt his mind was completely empty.

All the past experiences flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern.

It turns out that the way of being an official is as simple as that. If you treat the people well, and you have the people in your heart, then they will repay you ten times and a hundred times better.

All the great truths in the sage's book are zeroed out and reduced to four words: Comparing your heart with your heart!

"What's the trouble?"

Liao Youchang's majestic voice came.

Gu Ming seemed to have encountered a life-saving straw, turned around and said: "Master, these people were bewitched by Di Renjie and wanted to take the blame for Di Renjie."

Liao Youchang snorted coldly, "Who wants to convict Di Renjie? Strict investigation!"

Destroy the family and assassinate the county magistrate.

The old man trembled all over, but refused to retreat.

The sound of horseshoes came easily.

Da da da!

Everyone looked sideways.

Two riders appeared at the end of the street, and someone said, "It's an official from Chang'an!"

Liao Youchang smiled, and his majesty disappeared without a trace.

Gu Ming smiled and followed him, ready to meet him.

Two officials approached and reined in their horses, one of them shouted, "Who is Di Renjie?"

Is this an additional punishment?

Di Renjie thought of Jia Ping'an, but he was really ashamed...

"I am!"

Di Renjie hopes to go further afield and never return to Guanzhong for the rest of his life.

The leading official said: "Your Majesty has an edict."

Everyone stood with their hands tied.

"Di Renjie of Zheng County was brave enough to take charge and was promoted to be the governor of Huazhou."

Shouldn't the imperial edict be about rhythm, allusion, and rhetoric?

Why is it so simple?

But this is not important anymore.

Gu Ming's face was pale, "Where is the lower official? The lower official is a long history! Where is the lower official going?"

The official ignored him, nodded and smiled at Di Renjie, "Before departure, Mr. Zhao Guogong has something to say... You go to Huazhou and tell Huaiying that you have something to say, what's the matter if you report good news but not bad news? It's just a few clowns. Why is he hiding it? Turn around and drink!"

"Safety!"

Di Renjie's eyes were red.

Jia Pingan made a move? Di Renjie turned out to be from Jia Ping'an? The old man was wrong! Liao Youchang's eyes were red, "Huaiying..."

This kind of address made Di Renjie goosebumps all over his body.

Liao Youchang smiled and said: "If you had said you were good friends with Zhao Guogong, why...but it's still too late. Later, the old man arranged a banquet and invited Huaiying to come."

Di Renjie turned out to be the man of Jia Ping'an's mad dog, and I almost destroyed Jia Ping's man, what would happen to that lunatic?

"How dare I ask the old man?" Liao Youchang couldn't help asking after all.

"Emissary Liao?" The official glanced at him, "Let's go to the southwest."

Liao Youchang's face was ashen.

...

In the early morning, the drizzle fell, creating a misty world outside the eaves. The water line is thin; the water vapor is like smoke, swaying gently in the rain line.

The sky was slightly green, and a few residents hurried past the gate, making loud noises and laughing.

These villagers are from ordinary families, and they are stretched when they encounter some troubles. It is reasonable to be anxious from time to time.

But Wei Qingyi heard the joy in the laughter.

"Tsing Yi, what are you looking at?"

The old liar Fan Ying came out.

Wei Qingyi said softly: "Master, do you think those noble people are happy?"

Fan Ying froze for a moment, then smiled and said: "A nobleman has the power to drive people around, and if he has money, he can spend it as he pleases, so naturally he is happy."

Wei Qingyi shook his head, "But I think they are not as happy as these people."

Fan Ying felt that the daughter was a little nagging, "These villagers have to hold back a catty of bad wine, and they feel distressed. Is this called happiness?"

Wei Qingyi shook his head, "Master, you only see their poverty, but you can't see their joy. They are happy when they drink a catty of bad wine, and they are reluctant to drink it when they get home. They taste it in small sips. The appetizers are just ordinary vegetables. , the children are scurrying around, hungry for food from time to time... But they feel that such days are happy."

"Master, even if those noble people drink the best wine in the world, eat the most delicious food in the world, and are surrounded by peerless beauties, they are frowning and worried. Or they are angry, or they are gnashing their teeth...they don't happy."

Fan Ying smiled and said, "According to your statement, the poorer you are, the happier you are?"

Wei Qingyi shook his head, "No. If you are poor, you will be content. If you are poor, you can pursue less. If you pursue less, you will have less desires. If you have less desires, you will live a simple life...the simpler your life, the happier you will be. "

Fan Ying muttered, "What happiness is it? You can only be happy if you have money."

Wei Qingyi smiled.

"Tsing Yi, I have a treat today, so I won't come back for dinner, you remember to do it yourself, don't forget it!"

"knew."

Wei Qingyi stood under the eaves, the spring breeze blew, and his clothes fluttered like a fairy.

Fan Ying went all the way to a restaurant in Pingkangfang.

"Brother Yang!"

Yang Yunsheng has already arrived, and said with a smile: "Here we go, drink."

The two sat down, and Fan Ying said: "Recently, when I was wandering around the countryside, I saw a lot of fierce chickens. One of them was called a fierce chicken, but it looked ordinary. The old man was puzzled, so I asked the owner. The owner said that this chicken Chickens like to forage in shady places such as the base of walls, where there are many centipedes, and centipedes are poisonous, and if the chicken eats too many centipedes, it will become extremely fierce, and it will pounce on people walking by the house."

"Is there anything else like this?"

The two chatted more and more enthusiastically.

After being slightly drunk, Fan Ying said with a smile: "Brother Yang is not busy today?"

Yang Yunsheng said comfortably: "Mr. Lu has a few guests, and the old man will come out to look for you when he has time."

Fan Ying toasted and invited, "What kind of guests, you have to let Brother Yang avoid you, it shows that Lu Gong doesn't trust Brother Yang either."

Yang Yunsheng shook his head, with a sad look on his brows, "That's not the case. The person who came was a highly respected member of the gentry, probably discussing important matters..."

After drinking, the two bid farewell.

Fan Ying went around a few times, changed her clothes, and appeared in Baiqi.

"Some highly respected people from the gentry came to discuss important matters with Lu Shunzai and others."

The news quickly reached the empress.

"What's the matter?"

Li Zhi frowned.

Wu Mei said: "This time more than a dozen people from the gentry were taken down, those people must be annoyed."

Li Zhi snorted coldly: "A group of scumbags, but they are born with the name of a gentleman."

Wu Mei smiled and asked people to make tea.

Only then did Li Zhi's expression become more harmonious.

The familiar tea fragrance!

Li Zhi sniffed lightly, "It's thick."

Wang Zhongliang praised: "Today's tea leaves are quite large, Your Majesty's eyes are like lightning!"

Wu Mei said slowly: "There is one more thing. Li Yifu and the gentry made a secret deal this time, and those gentry elders came to Chang'an..."

Li Zhi's eyes became more cold, "If the dog is disobedient...I'm watching."

Xun Xun lay on the side, looking up at the Empress blankly.

...

The prince is waiting for his uncle.

"Your Highness, it's time for Duke Zhao to come."

Zeng Xianglin had gone out several times, but he still didn't see Jia Ping'an.

It's too much to keep the prince waiting, isn't it?

"I'm coming!"

Jia Pingan came late.

"Ah Fu is a little restless today, no one can comfort him, only me."

Jia Pingan felt that Ah Fu was in heat, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.

Pandas in heat are as rare as the sun coming out of the west!

"Uncle, do you think the Wuhu Lianbao should be abolished?"

Well!

this problem……

Zeng Xianglin looked confused, obviously the prince had asked this question too.

Jia Pingan said: "I taught you how to analyze things. Should the Wuhu Lianbao be abolished, we must first find out from the source... When did the Wuhu Lianbao appear? Why did it appear?"

Li Hong said: "The first one was Shang Yang."

"Yes, the five-household joint guarantee is the joint sitting method, why do you need to use the joint sitting method?"

Jia Pingan is inducing.

Li Hong said: "It is good to control the people."

"That's right." Jia Ping'an said: "After such an analysis, we can conclude that the establishment of the five-household joint insurance is to control the common people. Then let's push it backwards. Why do we use such methods to control the common people?"

Li Hong thought carefully.

"It's the officials who can't manage the people well."

All thoughts were cleared up in an instant.

Li Hong said: "Officials can't control the people well, so they use the method of continuous sitting and threats to achieve their goals. So whether the law of joint protection of five households should be abolished depends on whether the officials of the Tang Dynasty can control the people well..."

"Look, but they are all untied." Jia Pingan said with a smile.

"Yes." Li Hong said: "If the method of sitting together is abolished, household escapes will increase."

"Under the joint guarantee of five households, if anyone dares to flee, the neighbors will be unlucky, so the neighbors will watch them." This is the method of sitting together.

"But the neighbor is an innocent disaster." Li Hong was a little confused.

Jia Pingan said: "Then going back, why did the people flee?"

Li Hong said: "Unbearable tax pressure."

Jia Pingan nodded, "Do you understand?"

Even Zeng Xianglin understood.

"Is there such a delicate way to do things?"

He felt he had opened up a new world.

After Jia Ping'an left, Li Hong sat there without speaking for a long time.

"Meet the Queen."

Wu Mei is here.

"Fifth brother!"

She led Taiping by the hand, and the little man shouted at the top of his voice when he saw his elder brother.

Li Hong got up with a smile, "I've seen A Niang, Taiping, how can you behave today?"

"good!"

Taiping still shouted.

Li Hong hurriedly ordered: "Go get something to eat, it should be exquisite, and it can't block your throat."

Wu Mei asked: "What's the truth?"

Li Hong said: "Uncle said that children don't understand. If they eat such grainy food, they will swallow it whole if they are not careful. If it blocks their throat, it will be dangerous."

"Be careful."

Wu Mei let go of her hand, and Taiping staggered over.

She walked up to Li Hong, raised her head and stretched out her hand.

"hug!"

Li Hong bent down and picked her up, and said with a smile, "Taiping is a bit heavier."

Taiping said: "Fifth brother, eat."

"Taiping can't be eaten now."

The nobleman's child is weaned late.

Li Hong gave up with a smile.

"By the way, I saw you in a daze earlier, what were you thinking?"

Wu Mei asked.

"There is a question that has been puzzling me..."

Li Hong said: "The Five-Households Joint Insurance involves innocent people. I have been thinking about whether it can be abolished. Today, when my uncle came, I asked him for advice. My uncle asked me to trace the source... It turns out that the law of the Five-Households Joint Insurance is because the officials cannot manage the people well. The method of helplessness is also regarded as the method of lazy government..."

Wu Mei smiled and said: "It's the law of lazy government. Let the people feel the pain, so that they can urge each other."

"But it's not fair!" Li Hong said, "I also know that there is no way to solve this kind of injustice for the time being...unless the Tang officials can manage the people well."

"Can you?" Wu Mei asked.

Li Hong hesitated again and again, and solemnly shook his head.

The governance level of Tang officials is average, but one advantage is grassroots management... Fanghe Village is the smallest management unit, and Fangzheng and Village Zheng are the chiefs of each settlement.

This kind of grassroots management unit is supplemented by the continuous sitting method, which is one of the reasons why Datang quickly settled down after the founding of the country.

But even the sitting method is right?

...

"wrong."

Wang Bo said, "Sir, this is lazy government."

Jia Pingan said: "That's the only way!"

Wang Bo said angrily: "Sir, that's the problem of the officials. You taught me that whoever is responsible is the one who is responsible. People who flee or don't pay taxes, who should take care of it? It's the officials! But the officials can't control it." , so they practiced the law of sitting together and let the neighbors take care of it, which is lazy government."

Jia Pingan: "..."

He has a cocoon feeling.

The more Wang Bo thought about it, the angrier he became, "If you can't control it, it's also a problem for the officials, so what does it have to do with the common people?"

Jia Pingan asked: "Could it be ignored?"

Wang Bo shook his head, "Of course not. Sir, you said that a matter is good or bad depends on whether it benefits the majority of the people or only a small number of people, whether it is good for the family or good for the country. You need to weigh the pros and cons."

Jia Pingan nodded.

"How many people can there be if the people don't pay taxes?" Wang Bo said: "Very few, because of this very few practices, this is a lazy government and it also ignores the people."

interesting!

"What if the people flee?" Jia Pingan asked again.

Wang Bo said: "This has to go back to the methodology taught by Mr. Professor. When things happen, we have to trace the source. Why did the people flee? There is only one possibility. If they can't stand it anymore, they can't pay taxes for various reasons...Should such people Paying taxes? I think it is debatable. Is it the achievements of officials to kill talents?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Jia Pingan laughed out loud!

Jia Hong who passed by outside said, "Aye is so happy."

Jia Pingan is very happy!

"When a certain place encounters a natural disaster, or a drought, or a flood, or a plague of locusts, the court will always exempt the local tax. Then the people will not be able to survive, why can't they be exempted?"

Wang Bo looked at Jia Pingan very seriously.

Jia Ping'an was very pleased.

He thought of personal bankruptcy in the hereafter.

I finally showed this kid something.
