my wife is mulan

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Mr. Cui can see that, what he said is about the same, half of what he said is right, and the other half is also right, but he didn't talk about the essence!"

"The horse raising part in the horse administration is divided into two parts. The imperial court built a large horse farm to meet half of the imperial army's demand for military horses; the other half of the military horses were provided by the common people, who raised horses for the imperial court. After selling to the imperial court, they got the due reward, shared the burden of the imperial court’s horse breeding, and shared the risks. Even if there was a problem with the horse farm established by the imperial court and could not provide the necessary military horses for the imperial army, the common people could still provide for the imperial court. Provide the horses!"

"Let the people raise horses and livestock, and while they raise horses for the court, they can also raise other animals to earn income and improve their lives. This king's original intention is to shorten the gap between the rich and the poor, the rich, the wealthy, and the powerful." Disparity, ease the contradictions of all social classes."

"Rich households, wealthy businessmen, and dignitaries live in delicacies all day long, while ordinary people don't even have to eat wheat bran. Do you think they will be balanced? Put it here, do you think why those people eat meat and drink alcohol?" , and why don’t you even eat wheat bran? Why is God so unfair? Since God is unfair, why don’t you give up cutting yourself to pieces and tear this day? Change the dynasty and be your own master?”

Cui Hao heard cold sweat on his forehead. Could it be that what Zhao Junsheng said was the real thoughts of those low-level mud legs?Although he is the top wise man of this era, he was also born in a wealthy family. The limitations of the era and his background determined that he could not consider issues from the standpoint of ordinary people.

Zhao Junsheng said: "It's nothing to change dynasties. No dynasty with any surname can rule the country forever. The east and west ruled the country for a hundred years, but in the end it was all countries competing for hegemony, which made the people miserable. The longer the world is in turmoil. , the greater the damage to civilization!"

"You are also a person who is familiar with history. Think about it, which dynasty was not the first ordinary people at the bottom to reach out and push before the demise of the dynasty? Why should the common people be the first to stretch out their hands? Can't survive, no The way, the people in power won’t let me live, and I will push you down before I die, and whoever wins the world can control a lot in the end?”

Zhao Junsheng stopped here and asked, "Mr. Cui, what do you think is the responsibility of the ruler?"

"I think it should be to govern the world well and let the people live and work in peace and contentment!" Cui Hao replied.

Zhao Junsheng said: "This king thinks it's not just that, the ruler should do everything possible to make the common people have enough food and clothing, to make the society stable, to ease the contradictions of all classes, to support the old and the young... When the people are able to eat well and wear warm clothes, they will want more, they want to be literate, and they want to participate in political affairs, so the responsibilities of the ruler are endless, and policies must be adjusted according to the development of the times! Some Emperor Wenzhiwugong is unparalleled in the world. In the end, he has no opponents. He thinks that the current national policy is the best, which can make his rule long-term and stable. In fact, the root of the disaster has already been planted. No government order is always correct. If you don’t realize this , it is not far from the end of its rule!"

"It's not easy to let the people in the world have enough food and clothing. There is only so much land in the world. If you don't expand outwards and the domestic population increases rapidly, more and more people will have no food to fill their stomachs. Solve the problem There are two ways, the first is to reduce the wealth of the rich and powerful, and distribute this wealth to the common people through a certain method, so that they can survive. , the power position is unstable, so from the very beginning, it is necessary to curb the powerful and rich families from using their power to concentrate the wealth of the world in their own hands. We cannot wait until the situation develops out of hand before taking action, then it will be too late! The second one The solution is to find ways to develop and utilize the land. Now, through the intensive cultivation of our farmers, one mu of land generally produces [-] catties of grain.

Can we think of a way to double the output?Is there any?The king thinks that there should be a solution, but we haven't figured it out yet, so we need to encourage the common people to work hard to find a solution. There is a great chance that the offspring of livestock will gain the advantages of both sides, so can the food also be passed? This way to increase production? "

"That's why this king believes that the primary purpose of a ruler in governing the world is not to maintain his own rule, but to benefit the people. A stable world can enable civilization to develop faster. This is the responsibility of the ruler!"

These words deepened Cui Haodi's understanding of Zhao Junsheng. He only knew that Zhao Junsheng was a military general. After hearing Zhao Junsheng's long speech, he remembered that this person in front of him was also a human being.

On February [-]th, Zhao Junsheng and his group came to Zhilunu City in Dingzhou Prefecture, and the next day a farmer ran to the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion to beat drums and complain about his grievances.

"Look at the fun, watch the fun, someone has gone to the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion to beat drums and complain, hurry up and watch!" A hooligan ran over from the street, yelling all the way, and the people along the street became curious and came to the Governor's office one after another. outside the house.

Zhao Junsheng and the others were also dressed in casual clothes and mingled with the crowd standing outside the Governor's Mansion to watch the fun. Hua Mulan looked at the farmer kneeling in the middle of the lobby and asked Cui Hao, "Mr. Cui, did you find this farmer? He's quite bold." Well, isn't he afraid of being beaten to death by Dingzhou Inspector Zhang with a mighty stick?"

Chapter 658

Cui Hao said in a low voice: "Madam, don't worry, this man is desperate. If someone is willing to help him tide over the difficulties, death is nothing to him!"

The gates of the governor's mansion were full of onlookers. For this situation, in order to show their impartiality, the officials who tried the case would not send yamen servants to drive away the onlookers.

While speaking, a dignified middle-aged official in official uniform came out from the back hall. This was Zhang Hui, governor of Dingzhou.

Zhang Hui can be regarded as an official who followed Zhao Junsheng earlier. He is not particularly outstanding in ability, but this person has a characteristic that other officials do not have.

The people watching from the gate of the mansion saw Zhang Hui coming out of the back hall in official uniform with a majestic appearance, and the discussion stopped abruptly for a while, and they all looked at the governor of Dingzhou with wide eyes.

The state of Qianguo is not a first-level administrative region, but a monitoring region. For example, Zhang Hui, the governor of Dingzhou, cannot interfere in the government affairs of the counties in the whole prefecture. His function is to supervise the officials of the counties and counties in Dingzhou.

Hua Mulan looked at Zhang Hui's majestic appearance, turned her head and whispered to Zhao Junsheng: "I have seen this Zhang Hui several times, but I have never seen him with such majesty before. That's it!"

Zhao Junsheng said in a low voice: "People are forced out and practiced. No one is born to do something. In the past, he worked under me, and his bosses were all around him. , it will be different after being devolved to the local level, although the governor’s position is not high, he can supervise the prefects of various counties!”

Zhang Hui went to the hall and sat down, slapped the gavel and asked, "Who is kneeling in the hall, and who do you want to sue?"

The middle-aged farmer kneeling under the hall quickly said: "Caomin Wang Tietou is from Wangjiazhai, Puyin County. The grassroots wants to sue the county magistrate Gui Danian, county Wei Wenpan and other county officials. However, he did not follow the implementation, did not lend the common people livestock for feeding, and under the protection of the county magistrate Guan Xin, he openly violated the imperial government's horse administration ban, and after accepting large bribes from local rich households and wealthy merchants, he lent them large quantities of government livestock for future use. Make huge profits!"

The onlookers outside the gate of the governor's mansion were in an uproar. Good guy, there has never been a gào guān since ancient times. Others dare not even think about it. This middle-aged farmer not only sued, but also sued a large number of officials. It turned out to be the magistrate.

After listening to Wang Tietou's complaint, Zhang Hui immediately realized that he was in serious trouble. The governor sounds like a big official and powerful, but in fact, the governor at this time can't be compared with the governor who could become a prince at the end of the Han Dynasty. , there is no right to run zhèng quán or to lead the army, only the right to supervise.

Even with supervisory powers, the governor cannot casually investigate the officials of various counties and counties. This is an official position that is set on fire. If you jump up and down to investigate officials indiscriminately, other officials will join forces. Do not know how to die!

Generally speaking, such things as corruption and bribery were commonplace in ancient officialdom. The purpose of the vast majority of officials as officials was to make money. If they could not make money, being an official would be meaningless to these people. Bribery matters are generally turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye. Even if political opponents are to be punished, these matters and evidence will not be revealed until the critical moment.

However, this time Puyin County Magistrate Gui Danian, County Wei Wenpan and others received huge bribes from local rich households and wealthy merchants under the protection of the county magistrate Guan Xin, and lent them government livestock for huge profits, which was different from other cases of corruption and bribery. This involves Puyin county government officials blatantly violating the basic regulations of the imperial court and horse administration, which is completely different in nature. If this matter is more serious, it can be said to be against the imperial court and suspected of secession and treason.

Tricksters, tricksters, how come there are tricksters like you in Dingzhou who dare to sue officials?Do you know that if you report like this, it will break the sky?Zhang Hui looked at Wang Tietou who was kneeling in the hall and cursed in his heart, but he also knew in his heart that he had to accept the case. When it comes to Ma Zheng, Ma Zheng is a national policy set by Zhao Junsheng himself, and anyone who is sloppy in this matter will be in trouble.

Zhang Hui regained his composure, slapped the gavel and shouted: "Since ancient times,

gào guān is like a son killing his father!Wang Tietou, do you know that in gào guān, no matter right or wrong, you have to hit [-] big boards first? "

Wang Tietou looked miserable, "Your Majesty promulgated the horse policy in order to increase income for me and other grassroots, and to add a way of life for me and other grassroots, but now those corrupt officials have cut off my life, anyway, I can't live anymore, let's fight, Even if you kill the grassroots, the grassroots will sue!"

Zhang Hui was originally from a poor family, so he naturally knew how strong the aristocratic family's control over the world's politics and economy was. A way to make money, the government pays the capital, as long as the farmers feed their animals carefully and don’t let the animals go wrong, they can basically make a steady profit without losing money, but things are not that simple, and the interests involved are too great. How could He Fuhu not be tempted?

Although Zhang Hui hated the political and economic control of those aristocratic families and wealthy households, and sympathized with Wang Tietou, the procedures that should be followed in the trial cannot be omitted, so gào guān has been a taboo since ancient times, even if he is from a poor family However, he is also an official and a member of the official group. If ordinary people can sue officials at will, how can officials govern the place?People who commit crimes like this are thugs!

"Come on, hit fifty big boards!"

Following Zhang Hui's loud shout, several yamen servants on both sides came out and pressed Farmer Wang Tietou on a bench and lay face down.

The onlookers outside the lobby raised their hearts to their throats, and the sound of wooden sticks hitting people kept coming out of the lobby. At first, farmer Wang Tietou could grit his teeth and hold back his screams, but later it hurt. I couldn't bear it anymore, and the screams became louder.

After the fifty rods were beaten, Farmer Wang Tietou was beaten pale, with sweat dripping from his forehead, his face was distorted and deformed by the pain, and his buttocks and back were soaked in blood.

The yamen servants put Wang Tietou on the ground, and he struggled for a long time before he got up and knelt down.

Seeing this scene, Hua Mulan was a little dissatisfied with the rule that gào guān had to be slapped [-] times by officials first, and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Why does the imperial court have such rude rules? Could it be that officials are allowed to ride on the heads of the people to show their authority?" To be a blessing, but the common people can only endure, can only suffer? This is too unfair!"

Zhao Junsheng explained: "There are such laws and regulations in all dynasties, so there is a certain reason. The imperial court has yamen and officials who specialize in monitoring officials' faults. If everyone can sue officials at will, it will be bad for officials to govern the place. It has great influence and hindrance!"

While speaking, Zhang Hui asked: "Wang Tietou, if you want to sue the county magistrate Gui Danian, Wen Pan and others, you should go to the prefect's mansion to file a complaint with the prefect Song Yu first. Why do you appeal to the prefect?"

"As far as the envoy is concerned, Song Taishou hasn't been in charge since he took office. He only cares about searching for immortals and refining elixirs, and the grass people will sue him for negligence and dereliction of duty!"

Zhang Hui asked: "Is there a complaint?"

"Mr. Hui, there are!"

"Bring it up!"

A yamen servant came over and took the complaint and turned around to present it to Zhang Hui. Zhang Hui took a look at the complaint.

"Why do you think that this handwriting seems to have been seen somewhere?" Zhang Hui was puzzled, and he was immediately shocked. People of this level are definitely ordinary people, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this handwriting before. Handwriting, but couldn't hold back and murmured in his heart: "Could it be that this also involves the game between the various forces in the DPRK and China?"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Hui asked: "Wang Tietou, are the physical evidence and witnesses listed in your complaint true?"

"Don't dare to lie to the envoy, everything is true!"

There is a particularly clear stipulation in the Qianguo Law. If you want to sue others, you must have witnesses and physical evidence. Even if it is an impeachment between officials, you must produce evidence before you can impeach. You cannot just sue with empty teeth.

"How can an ordinary farmer get such physical evidence, and how can he find

To anyone willing to testify?There must be someone behind this Wang Tietou! "Zhang Hui immediately saw the key point, but he didn't know who was standing behind this person. This case is not easy to handle.

Next, Zhang Hui examined the evidence brought by Wang Tietou, and personally interrogated three witnesses, one witness was the former servant of Gui Danian's mansion, the other witness was Wen Pan's servant; Guard groom.

All three of them swore that what they said was true, otherwise they would accept any punishment from the government.
