First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 253

Popular recommendation:

In the face of the olive branch thrown by Zhang Ximeng, Li Shanchang was a little flattered. He never expected that at this moment, Zhang Ximeng did not choose to fall into the trap, but was willing to pull him.

This kind of kindness is absolutely no trivial matter, and it can be said that the kindness of re-creation is similar. .

Otherwise, he, Lao Li, stood opposite Ma's, and just the wind on the pillow would blow him to the point of annihilation.

"Zhang Xiang, as wise as you are, I don't dare to be perfunctory. In fact, it is difficult for me to ride a tiger and go up, but I can't come down."

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "Some things are also my fault, causing trouble to Brother Li."

"No!"

Li Shanchang shook his head sternly, "To be honest, I agree with Zhang Xiang's proposition from the bottom of my heart... I know what you think, Zhang Xiang won't think I'm lying, right?"

"No!" Zhang Ximeng shook his head, "When he was formulating the strategy of dividing the fields, Brother Li explained the equalization of the past dynasties clearly and clearly. From then on, I knew that Brother Li was quick-witted and had no idea what to do. No way, he is a rare talent.”

Hearing Zhang Ximeng's praise and remembering the past, Lao Li was very sighed, and immediately said: "As far as the division of land is concerned, women in the early Tang Dynasty could get half of the fields of men, and this has the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, how can I I don't know! Zhang Xiang advocated equalizing fields for women, allowing them to go to school, and even making women officials... Although this step is a bit big, the effect is immediate. This time I can calmly mobilize food and grass and supply military supplies on time, thanks to Zhang A brilliant move."

Li Shanchang didn't lie. Standing in his position, he was most able to appreciate the benefits. Women go out of the house, some work in the fields, some work in the workshop.

Their outbursts of enthusiasm were simply jaw-dropping and jaw-dropping.

Precisely because they have been suppressed for too long, the women who get the space to display are even more enthusiastic than the men. When the tax is collected, the women will select carefully, dry them carefully, and hand over the best ones. He will also urge men not to waste time.

So summer grain can be harvested quickly and well.

More and more women entered the workshop, and the handicraft workshop in Jinling also prospered at once.

The direct consequence is that the commercial tax has increased greatly, and the production of silk cloth has increased greatly.

This is all hard currency, and it all ends up in the purse, and Li Shanchang is responsible for managing the purse.

Can he be indifferent?

However, Li Shanchang also has other considerations. How long can this good thing last? He wasn't sure.

"Zhang Xiang, this idea is good, but it hasn't been implemented for a long time at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. The men still can't get enough land, and how much can they give to the women? Since the Zhao and Song Dynasties, the world has become more and more strict, especially since the With the rise of Neo-Confucianism, it is even more so. Frozen death is a small matter, but a breach of discipline is a big problem... No matter what those scholars say, in short, in the folk, women are subject to more and more restrictions, layer upon layer, and countless others. We are the same as thousands of years I don't have much confidence in the traditional confrontation. Besides, even if we persist now, after more than ten or twenty years, the new generation will grow up, and there will be not enough land and acres. In between, how should the land be distributed? At that time, everything we do will only be empty.”

"Moreover, when women walk out of the house and enter the workshop, they inevitably have contact with other people. There are more and more indecent things. Those who sue for fornication, ask for divorce, say that their daughter-in-law is unfilial, these cases will not be closed. Hundreds of cases. How many people took the opportunity to fan the flames, they all said that the world was upside down, and it was whimsical. They also said that it was the biggest malpractice of Zhu's army, and if it didn't change, people would be lost. Here. Give me a hundred courage, and I don't dare to disobey Madam, but once I follow Madam's wishes and handle this case, what if there are more than 100? Ten thousand ten thousand, if we follow this precedent, the next thing will be even more out of control, and I, Li Shanchang, will become the target of public criticism!"

Old Li talked at length, and he was about to pour out the bitter water in his stomach.

To be honest, Li Shanchang is more envious of Zhang Ximeng.

Because Zhang Ximeng stood in a position where he could advance and retreat freely, and Zhu Yuanzhang trusted him unconditionally. In this way, Zhang Ximeng had too much room to sway without any burden, wouldn't it be fun!

But when it came to Li Shanchang, the situation became a lot more troublesome.

He is in charge of all officials and is responsible for the execution. Unfortunately, he does not have the final decision-making power. To put it bluntly, he is still a housekeeper... Since he is a housekeeper, he has to do things according to the family rules and cannot play it casually.

Li Shanchang must do things fairly and decently, at least on the surface, he must stand the test, otherwise he will attract a lot of criticism.

Let's take the case of Han Xiuniang as an example... Ma's place saw this case, a plan of a quilt factory that was obstructed. She was angry and asked someone to take charge.

But here Li Shanchang saw hundreds of similar cases, but too many of them did not attract the attention of the world.

Zhang Ximeng proposed an idea, which became a decree and was implemented. As a result, during the implementation process, the old and new concepts and violent conflicts turned into cases one by one, which returned to Li Shanchang's hands, which became his troubles.

In other words, once you are in a high position, you are less willing to change!

It even instinctively rejects changes and changes what to change. Once a decree is changed, countless things will be affected, and countless troubles will be brewed, and even an uncontrollable situation will occur, and eventually it will backfire on itself.

For a mature bureaucrat, the biggest fear is change!

Just follow the existing rules. Even if there is a problem, you can easily push it out. It is about as long as you say that it has been there since ancient times, and it is natural to get used to it.

So if you know it's unreasonable and inappropriate, you also put it there, don't touch it, just let it go.

Everyone is a paper maker, everyone is Humphrey.

What if you don't?

In the case of Han Xiuniang, it was her parents who were wrong, and everyone could see that.

But is there no woman wrong?

Do you want to turn over the files of the Punishment Department and see how many such cases have been added recently?

If you dare to sympathize with the woman, it will embarrass you every minute.

Could it be that he, Prime Minister Li, was trapped by this kind of mess? Don't care about other things?

Obviously, Li Shanchang didn't want to do this, and he didn't dare to do it.

After listening to Li Shanchang's sigh, Zhang Ximeng also sighed deeply.

He now has only five-body respect for those fierce people who dare to reform and promote change. I have to say that it is really difficult to change something.

This is only the territory of a province with a population of less than 10 million, and at the beginning of the establishment of the government, the various rules are far from perfect, the officials are relatively clean and competent, and there are not many acts of forming parties for selfishness... In this case, it is necessary to promote Change is so difficult. Once the world is unified, if you want to do something again, I am afraid that it will be a bloodbath.

At that time, if Zhang Ximeng would grant land to any woman, run a school, and encourage her to do things, it is estimated that he will not have the courage.

To dominate the world, when the labor force is the most scarce, don't break the shackles as soon as possible. Once the world is at peace, there are so many men who have nothing to do, and they are still in desperate need of job opportunities. How can women be allowed to come out?

Don't even think about it!

In order to tap the potential, enhance the combat effectiveness of the Zhu Family Army as soon as possible, and for future consideration, some things must be done.

Although the steps are a bit big and the crotch hurts, I have to grit my teeth to support it.

"Brother Li, I know that the crux of this matter is not with you, it's me who caused you trouble!" Zhang Ximeng sighed: "Because of this, I want to join forces with Brother Li, let's find a way to solve this matter together. It's gone!"

Li Shanchang took a deep breath, "Zhang Xiang, you don't need to blame yourself, I know in my heart that what you think is right, and the superior supports you, I have no ability to implement it, that's my business. When the time comes, the superior dismisses me. , that is also self-defeating. You can disregard the past and come to help me, my heart is warm. To be honest, I always wanted to compete with you in the past, but now it seems that my mentality is far less than Zhang Xiang, I'm really overwhelmed."

Zhang Ximeng hurriedly waved his hand, "Brother Li, don't talk like this, you have your own difficulties, I have talked too much about retreats in the past, and the burden fell on you...As far as I think, this matter shouldn't be in our hands. !"

The two chatted here, and finally began to touch the key points.

Li Shanchang instantly cheered up and listened, "Zhang Xiang, what are your plans?"

"Brother Li, you said that there are so many cases that have been pushed to the Ministry of Punishment, pushed to you... In the final analysis, the people below are irresponsible, they dare not do things, and they blindly shirk the blame, making it difficult for you!"

Li Shanchang took a breath and nodded vigorously, "Yes! Zhang Xiang is right!"

"Brother Li, Han Xiuniang's case is not complicated. The rest of the cases are probably simpler than this case... As long as the people below have a good bowl of water, whoever is at fault will bear the culpability, and it doesn't matter who the man or woman is. They cut off the case. If it is suitable, we will summarize it into a decree, and then promulgate it. If it is not suitable, we will correct it and retrial. This is the right thing to do! What is going on now? Then what do they need to do? Let the county government and the prefectural government be disbanded. Also, what does the Criminal Department do? They don't have an attitude? Why leave all the problems to us?"

Zhang Ximeng snorted angrily: "Brother Li, I would also say something rude, you are too indulgent to the officials below... Although the sedan chairs are carried by everyone, they need the cooperation of the people below, but you can't be too indulgent to them! They know that it is their responsibility to sit in that position and hold that salary! I can't be a good official and I can do it myself. It's a summary, it's forcing them to work hard, not wiping their butts! It's not about getting off the scene in person to deal with these parents' faults."

"The pattern! Brother Li, what we need is the pattern! We have to give women land, enroll women in school, and pave the way for their development. This is the major policy we have set, and the people below will implement it and encounter conflicts. They need to adjust. Some things that cannot be solved can be handed over to us, set the tone, and then let them implement it. We can't be kidnapped by the people below, and let them have their hands and feet. Brother Li, do you think this is the case? Li'er?"

Li Shanchang was suddenly enlightened!

He immediately understood what was wrong... In the final analysis, Li Shanchang was still a small official, and he was very capable of doing things, but he didn't notice the change in his identity.

He still likes to do it himself, and if he encounters any difficulties, he will find a solution by himself... This habit is good, such as supplying military supplies, he does it better than anyone else.

But sometimes, this habit also drags him down.

Zhang Ximeng is absolutely right. With so many cases, let the following people break it first, let them figure out the point of conflict and where the conflict lies, and then the prime minister can set the tone and decide whether to alert Zhu Yuanzhang.

Now all the mess is pushed into his hands, UU reading www.uukanshu. com how does he solve it?

Isn't this going to exhaust our old Li?

"Zhang Xiang, you've helped a lot... I know what to do!" Li Shanchang suddenly had an idea.

Zhang Ximeng has cooperated with many people, but if you want to talk about who to join forces with, the most powerful, it is estimated that Li Shanchang will be ahead of Zhu Yuanzhang.

After some conversation, Lao Li Mao said hesitantly, and he hurriedly issued an order of reprimand to Yingtianfu, as well as Shangyuan and Jiangning counties.

Li Shanchang directly scolded them for shirking blame, causing chaos in the world under their rule, evil people, rampant lawlessness, good people, and being bullied. As a parent and official, he was helpless, sitting in the city of distress. Incompetent, incompetent, angry and resentful!

It should have been severely punished according to the law, and all officials should be dismissed. For the first offense, the three-month salary should be cut off first, and the crime should be ordered to make meritorious deeds. The case should be sorted out immediately.

After Li Shanchang reprimanded the local officials, he actually called the Sixth Division and the Metropolitan Court over again, and was scolded again. What does the Criminal Division do? What does the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office do?

Your shoulders, in addition to being able to carry a head to eat, can't carry things?

What's the use of keeping you?

So many things, you don't do your best, just watch the fun, do you want to skin you and hang them in the City God Temple, so that you can watch the fun for a hundred years?

Good guy, Li Shanchang has completely changed his face. He can no longer protect the big guy. Suddenly, everyone is like a mourning wife. Be a melon eater.

Who would have guessed that the two of them are holding hands, so don't say anything, just deal with it quickly, or your life will be lost!
