Take the system back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 128 The Owner's Culture
Guijiaoqi is a big kid with a tendency to be mentally handicapped, but this guy has a super good conscience. He has been an apprentice and has a certain foundation in carpentry.

After Zhao Cheng became an official, Gui Jiaoqi made a desk and gave it to Zhao Cheng as a gift. After careful observation, he found that the workmanship was not bad, and the technical content was somewhat. The biggest characteristic of Ah Qi is patience and care.

These two hearts are the prerequisites for doing anything well, and their proportion is greater than IQ.Based on this knowledge, Zhao Cheng came to a conclusion: he was expelled from the wood workshop before because he did not do well, but because he was stumbling and pushed out by other apprentices, making him look like he did not do well.

At present, Zhao Cheng has moved into the county captain's "office". In the hall is the desk sent by Gui Jiao Qi, which is filled with Guichi County files.

The only fly in the ointment is that compared to other leaders, Zhao Cheng does not have the time or money to decorate a few bookshelves and fill them with books. A scribe reminded him, "Leader, placing some classics and books will make you look more knowledgeable even if you don't read them." and style”.

This Nima...

Zhao Cheng is full, and it is more logical that later generations will be poor for three generations playing SLR, and five generations will be poor playing book collection in this era.It is because of this that Wang Anshi is so poor.

No matter ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, it is always difficult to do a good job as an official, but being an official can always make people feel good, because many things can be decided, even many people die.

Most of the items placed on the desk are administrative orders or judicial documents waiting to be signed by Zhao Cheng. These things are challenges and troubles, but they can also make people climax.Because when you have the power to sign off on something, there's got to be that orgasmic feeling.

Simply speaking, the duties of the county lieutenant are more in charge than before, but the difference is not very big.As far as the essential difference is concerned, once Zhao Cheng signs the relevant business, it is the administrative order and judicial document of the Song Dynasty, as long as it is not overturned and denied by Lao Pei, it is something that must be implemented.

However, the previous post of deputy secretary-general does not have administrative effect after its own signature.Maybe someone will execute it, but it depends on the face given by others.

In view of the uncomplicated system and organization of the county government, Zhao Cheng's governance power is roughly equivalent to the collection of the county public security bureau, county procuratorate, urban management bureau, and prison bureau in later generations.By the way, it must be a member of the Standing Committee.

Zhu Xiao is in charge of several other households, such as finance, taxation, food reserves, etc. In addition to being a wealthy businessman and having the characteristics of a fish in the pond, Zhu Xiao is also a member of the Standing Committee, and according to the rules, his ranking is second to Zhao Before Cheng Cheng, he was theoretically the first deputy county.

The current situation in Guichi County, the center of Chizhou, is very ambiguous.

Through the side window, Zhao Cheng can clearly see the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers in the yard outside the window. The office environment has been greatly improved, but there are more troubles.Through the table full of documents waiting to be signed, what Zhao Cheng saw was the entanglement among the major gang interests in Chizhou.

To put it simply, Da Song is no longer young at this time, and is more than 100 years old.

According to the political system of the Song Dynasty, this age is enough to form families, gangs, and business houses, and to firmly solidify circles, interests, and classes.In other words, the problem in Guichi County is no longer a simple problem of people and people, but a problem of grouping.Gangs and gangs, ethnic groups and ethnic groups.

For example, there are a large number of criminal case files now, which cannot be treated as individual cases at all.Zhao Cheng had almost no interest in watching it. It was nothing more than members of the Chen family who wanted to get people from the Wang family in.People from the Zhu family wanted to kill that so-and-so from the Liu family.And so on.

But the essence is very simple: like Zhujiazhuang in the novel wants to eat Hujiazhuang, if he doesn't, Zhu Biao will use his power to get old man Hu into the chant from the government level.

This year is like this.

If the excesses continue, the credibility of the government will be further reduced, and the government will be further out of control, Zhu Biao's appearance will be even more ugly. He will even skip the steps of the government procedures, and will directly use the butcher's knife to scare Hujiazhuang, and at the same time ask Hu Sanniang to be a child bride.After taking control of other families, send some money to the magistrate to set up a legal joint defense of the three villages with private armed forces and become a semi-foreign village.

Of course, objectively speaking, even so, they are better-looking than Liang Shan.

Master Zhang, the great god of interpretation, did not say nonsense. The [-] people in Liangshan were really demon stars. Except for a few, they were basically wanted criminals who were wanted for murder and arson, hugging each other to keep warm.

The reason why "Water Margin" is a masterpiece is not because of the "Heroes Gathering Hall Culture", but because it reflects the social situation and social culture at that time to a certain extent.

Now in the first year of Daguan, it has not yet reached the level of "Zhujiazhuang", but the initial shape has appeared, and it is accelerating in that direction.

At that time, the Song Dynasty's finances will really collapse. The simple reason is: once Zhujiazhuang is really formed, do you still expect it to pay taxes to the court?

Absolutely impossible, impossible in this life.With its strength, in that situation, when it was time to pay [-] guan, Zhu Biao would only pay [-] guan, give the officials [-] guan, and falsely promised "I will not come to rob your government treasury", in order to Show the difference between him and Liang Shan.In fact, this is the only difference between Zhu Biao and Liang Shan.

From these points of view, the situation at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty is somewhat similar to that at the end of the Ming Dynasty. A large amount of productivity and wealth were concentrated in the hands of officials other than the owner of the village, while the financial collapse of the court and the morale of the army were scattered.

Generally speaking, in this situation, it is undoubtedly wishful thinking to expect these problems to be solved by nerd talents who have just arrived and can only read books.The best ending for an ordinary scholar in this position is: to get out of the whole body without taking the blame and die in an accident is victory. By the way, he must be the puppet stamp of the major gangs and families.

This is actually what Guan Zi or Zhang Ji said in the lecture hall, "Speaking of what is right cannot be established, speaking of what is wrong cannot be abolished, meritorious service cannot be rewarded, and guilt cannot be punished" - where there is a gun, there is power.

When Da Song's guns didn't work, now, looking at these files waiting to be signed and sealed, Zhao Cheng also understands why there are so many copycats and so many escapees?

This matter has absolutely nothing to do with the government, but they are not hiding from the government.

If you don't understand this question and think that they are really evading taxation, you have failed to understand the politics of Zhao and Song Dynasties.In fact, although the government pays a lot of taxes, most of them (except for wanted criminals) are not hiding from the government, but from Dong Jianwu or Zhu Biao who are out of control.

The government is definitely not a good thing, but no matter which government it is, after all, it wants to save face and bottom line. However, the appearance of Dong Taigong Zhu Taiye may not look good. When the government does not act and cannot protect the people, in the face of those Zhu Biao who kill decisively , civilians really only have the only way to survive by running into the mountains and hiding.

"Scholar, I understand."

Zhao Cheng, who was always in a daze, let out a sigh of relief. Since he came to Dasong, he has studied and observed, and he has also worked hard since he took office. Combining these backlogs of documents, this is the first time he has understood the root cause of Dasong's illness this year.

"My lord, I don't know what you understand?"

Zhao Qingming, who was waiting in the hall as if walking on thin ice, said in embarrassment, "I only know that if you don't sign the backlog of so many documents, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. According to the rumors, the state yamen Wang Fu Wang Cao officer is supervising this aspect, He still has conflicts with you, and Guichi County must be the focus of his supervision."

"He checked the eggs!"

Zhao Cheng is now somewhat of a hooligan, walking around quickly with his hands behind his back, "He is not my leader. Except for business communication, he has several jurisdictions. My leader is Pei Zhixian, not some dirty cat." Officer Wang Cao. This is the government affairs of my Guichi County, not his business."

"Uh... well, as long as you're happy."

Zhao Qingming looked strange, "But even if you don't care about Wang Caoguan, the current situation is ambiguous and the major families are entangled. If you don't deal with the backlog of documents, they will be very angry and may cause trouble."

Zhao Cheng lifted up the documents on the table with a wave of his hand, "If he messes up, let him mess up. Only when he has a reason and causes trouble, I have an excuse to treat them. This is a government official, and I am a court official, not these people." running dog!"
