Chapter 2567 lead by example

To ensure that a good thing can go on for a long time, it must be institutionalized, and the system must be continuously improved in the process of development.

This was the first thing Wei Zhi taught the two of them while living in the courtyard of Pu Village.

Bai Shan thought about this for two days, and said to Man Bao, "Yes, people's hearts are unpredictable, even I can't trust my own heart, let alone others, so we should make rules so that people can't Minor offense."

Man Bao asked, "Just like the law?"

"In the case of Shitian, this is definitely not possible at present, but rules can be formulated, and when the system is perfected, it can be entered into the law."

Man Bao asked, "What rules are you planning to make with Master Wei?"

"Master Wei wants to set up a new department in the Ministry of Households to manage and manage occupation fields."

"Isn't it the Ministry of Household that manages the job field now?"

"That's different," Bai Shan said, "the current management is extensive, they are completely delegated to the local magistrates, and the magistrates are then handed over to the subordinate officials, who are forced to assign tenants, and collect tenant rents every year. It is transferred back to the Ministry of Households layer by layer, and the Ministry of Households will send it back to the officials. What Mr. Wei means is that the newly established departments are no longer assigned to local officials, but will be handled by them themselves, but the local officials to which the field belongs have oversight.”

Man Bao: "Maintain the interests of the tenant farmers?"

Bai Shan nodded, "This method has changed a lot, and it costs a lot, and the relationship is not small. On the Ministry of Household, there are also officials in the DPRK and China who may not agree, so Lord Wei asked me to use your job field as an example to write. a report."

In addition, this time, the voluntary principle will be applied first, that is, officials can choose whether to take custody in the previous way and only receive a fixed rent every year; or take over and manage it themselves; the third is to choose their own a way.

Bai Shandao: "The scope is fixed in the capital officials. Due to the particularity of the local job fields, the local job fields are not included in this example for the time being."

Bai Shan paused and then whispered: "Actually, I had a serious discussion with Sir Wei last night, and he wants to cancel the job-field system."

Man Bao was startled and asked, "Did Master Wei think so, or does His Majesty think so?"

Bai Shan glanced at her approvingly, and whispered, "Your Majesty also wants to do the same."

This time, Bai Shan really came into contact with high-level secrets and the game of the superior, and he said softly: "Don't look at Guotai and Minan now, in fact, the court loses a lot of job fields every year, and the Gyeonggi area is also losing fields, but still It's under control."

After all, at the foot of the emperor, even the conscientious people have to be afraid of one or two.

"But in the local area, officials and local clans have been repeatedly prohibited from occupying official fields," Bai Shan said, "Master Wei said that a large number of official fields have been stolen, and the local officials' jobs and fields cannot be guaranteed, so they will invade and open up wasteland in large quantities. It is equivalent to occupying private land.”

The land system of Dajin was that Chengding could get 100 mu of land, of which 20 mu for Yongye and 80 mu for Kou.

Of course, due to the amount of land, this system will be discounted in various places, but the minimum five acres of Yongye Tian must be guaranteed, because this is the survival capital.

But Mr. Wei and the others have calculated in private that if they continue at this speed, they will soon be unable to guarantee the progress of the land-equalization system.

Therefore, Wei Zhi wanted to abolish job fields, directly increase the salaries of officials, allocate funds from the Ministry of Household, and no longer allocate job fields.

The field was returned to the imperial court, and was jointly managed by the Ministry of Household and the local government. Except for the new recruits and the court's awards, no one was allowed to use the public fields.

What Wei Zhi didn't tell them was that the emperor not only wanted to ban job fields, he also wanted to take back some of the occupation fields that had been occupied.

There are many ways. The most direct one is to send someone to collect the criminal records of those people, and just one can copy the home.

Where can the hands of those who can occupy the job field go clean?

But the emperor didn't want to use this method. He didn't like killing people, and he didn't like seeing blood, so he wanted to use money to redeem the land.

Redeem those occupied lands back.

Of course, it is impossible to follow the market price. Do you have no idea how these fields came from?

The emperor and Wei Zhi settled the accounts privately, and he was willing to pay 60% of the market price at most.

Then they counted the number of lost fields in the past two years. It was only two years. After calculating the amount of money to be spent, the emperor almost had angina. Because there was no money left in the treasury, the emperor could only temporarily put this matter away. Press it down, just quietly and Wei Zhi plan.

This kind of thing can only be planned with Wei Zhi, and he doesn't dare to say it to others, including Zhao Guogong's brother-in-law.

Because Zhao Guogong's hands are not so clean, and there is a lot of involvement behind him, except for Wei Zhi, no one in the court will stand on the emperor's side.

Although he is an emperor, he doesn't do whatever he wants. I haven't seen him make repeated orders to not allow the family to build the dock again, but they demolished the watchtower, but they built houses around the dock, which are still layer upon layer.

The same clan lived in one place, and there were countless tenants and long-term workers, but the name of the part was changed.

The world has only been stable for only 30 years, and the emperor does not have the courage to provoke these people who will bring chaos to him. Therefore, the emperor also does not care about these aristocratic families, as well as the wealthy families, local gentry, officials, etc. who have pushed them to the front. Be as gentle as possible.

Even he taught the prince that way.

He told the prince about these plans, and then taught him: "Your temper can be restrained. In the future, when you become an emperor, you can no longer be as short-tempered as you are now. You must know how to advance and retreat, and be patient."

He said, "Forbearance when it is time to endure, and advance when it is time to advance."

The prince should go.

The emperor nodded in satisfaction.

Then the next day the emperor was furious in the palace, and he urgently ordered Wei Zhi, who was reluctant to think about Shu in the courtyard of Pu Village, to return to Beijing.

The guard who came to look for someone came in the rain, and his face was a little pale. He didn't care to say hello to Zhou Man, who was standing in the yard with a bunch of cherries, and jumped directly in front of Wei Zhi and said, "Master Wei, Come into the palace, your Majesty is going to kill the Prince of Hejian."

Wei Zhi was taken aback. The Prince of Hejian was the Minister of Rites. Why did the emperor who was so dignified kill him?

Wei Zhi hurried back to Beijing.

Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at each other, and quickly told Lao Zhoutou and the others that they would follow after they caught the horse. After hearing it, Mrs. Liu chased after them and said to them, "First ask what is the matter before deciding to take care of it. Whatever, don't get involved."

He said again: "Go and ask Erlang."

Bai Shan thought it was reasonable, so instead of chasing Lord Wei, he took Man Bao to Huangzhuang.

As a result, Bai Erlang and Princess Mingda were called back one step ahead.

The two looked at each other and then followed back to Beijing.

Back in the capital, they went directly to Yin or.

When Yin He saw them in his county mansion, he said, "I know why you are here, don't worry, His Majesty won't really kill Hejian County King."

Man Bao asked, "What did the Prince of Hejian do?"
