Han Shizu

Chapter 1851
On the day I hoped, the official letter from the Daosi Yamen was sent to Zhengzhou, but it did not directly reach the Zhizhou Li Hang. He didn't take a break, and went directly to his official business.

At this juncture, Li Hang's performance of "not doing his job" is somewhat misleading.But the envoy who delivered the official letter couldn't see Li Hang, so he was naturally unwilling to give up, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to Pan You when he went back, so he rushed to Yuanwu without stopping.

Of course, Li Hang was in Yuanwu, not to avoid the trouble of the Si Ya, to inspect the autumn harvest, it was true.At the same time, during the river flood this year, it was quite dangerous to pass the Yuanwu embankment, which almost caused a catastrophe. The repaired embankment also needs to be inspected personally.

On the other hand, Yuanwu County was also a key area used by Li Hang to implement the new tax system, and Zhengzhou's farmland clearing work also started from this county.As a political star who is favored by both the emperor and the prince, he has a bright future. Naturally, it is impossible for Li Hang to go against his will and twist the imperial court's policies. He is very dedicated to the implementation of the new tax system, but there are differences in the ways and means of implementing policies. It's just different.

Pan You's nature is like a raging fire, and his behavior is like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, which makes people feel chills. In contrast, Li Hang's political style is completely different. The feeling is greatly praised and recognized.

Li Hang's starting point was very high. When he was dissatisfied with his position in the court, he was sent out to be the chief official of a state, or a major state like Zhengzhou.However, during the few months since he took office, he did not experience the slightest discomfort. This seems to be a natural bureaucracy, and Li Hang has basically achieved the atmosphere of "good government and harmonious people" recorded in books two months after he took office.

In terms of background, Li Hang is the number one scholar in a discipline, and in terms of backing, he is the most reliable emperor and prince in the world, and the most important thing is that he is not just an embroidered pillow, but has his own way of dealing with people. It is also forming its own political philosophy.

It can be said that Li Hang is almost a perfect bureaucratic image in the current mainstream value perception based on his previous performance.Knowledgeable, knowledgeable, lenient to others, strict with self-discipline, and at the same time not lacking in ability to manage affairs, at the top, he scrupulously obeys orders, and at the bottom, he personally observes things and observes the sentiments of the people.

Therefore, although he took office in Zhengzhou not long ago, Li Hang is like a fish in water, and he is very popular among his bureaucrats. Although some of this support is not genuine, at least the bureaucrats in Zhengzhou are willing to accept his leadership. It also spread quickly.

Take the decree of Dao Si's land investigation as an example. While promoting this matter, Li Hang also supported his subordinates under the pressure from above. Instead of just forcing each other with big orders, he was willing to listen to the voices below and help them solve their difficulties.

Such a style, even if many people don't like it in their hearts, at least they have to obey it on the surface. Zhizhou is already so sensible and considerate, what else can they do if they do this.

Li Hang has the consideration of being steady and steady. Starting from the land in Yuanwu County, he mobilized a large number of people from the state to invest in it. Although he could not meet Dao Si's previous task of clearing the land before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yuanwuyi County did it. of.

Of course, even if the government is lenient, it is impossible for everything to go smoothly. During the process of clearing the land, concealment, concealment, prevarication, and resistance faced frequently occurred.

And every time this happened, Li Hang carefully understood the situation, and after the investigation was clear, he began to reason. Not everyone can understand the reason, especially when it involves personal interests.

When the truth was different, Li Hang also had to take up the two weapons of power and law. Therefore, at least in the process of clearing the land in Yuanwu County, many people were inevitably dealt with and punished.

It's just that, at such a time, it's not easy for others to criticize Li Hang anymore. After all, they have reasons and evidence, and they have given enough face and enough time. It's just that some people don't know the current affairs, and they deserve the punishment they deserve.

However, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the decree issued by the Taoist Secretary will naturally not be completed. On the contrary, due to the autumn harvest and the busy farming season, the collection of old taxes cannot be neglected. Li Hang also intentionally slowed down the preparations for land measurement in other counties. Work.

However, it is inevitable that Li Hang "acts on his own" in Zhengzhou, which is contrary to the will of the Gyeonggi Provincial Department. Even if Li Hang has a strong background, it is impossible for him to be free of pressure.Especially after the conflict between the two envoys in the Si Ya lobby spread the day before yesterday, it was inevitable that Zhengzhou would not be affected.

The first level of officialdom crushes people to death, not to mention the difference between the two. It is impossible for Li Hang to completely ignore the authority of the Taoist priest.On the other hand, although Li Hang has his own style of doing things and ideas for reform, the suspicion of confronting the decree of his superiors is still taboo and should be avoided as much as possible.After all, Li Hang did the first grade of junior high school, which set a precedent, and others can do fifteenth grade.

When the envoys of the Si Ya rushed to Yuanwu County, they still did not see Li Hang. According to the left-behind county magistrates, the magistrates and county magistrates all went to the countryside to check the tax situation this autumn.

So, after a lot of trouble, the official who sent the letter finally found Li Hang who was calculating and comparing the amount of money and taxes in a village under the Liuhe Embankment in Yuanwu County.

"It's easy for the officials to find Zhizhou!" After being tossed like this, even though he knew that Li Han had a lot of background, the envoy couldn't calm down, and there was some emotion in his words.

Li Hang's clothes at this time, very much like a accountant, inspecting autumn grains, even exuding a fragrance of grains on his body.Hearing his words and looking at his expression, Li Hang's face was like a spring breeze, and he folded his hands and confessed: "You have worked hard on the job, please go to the village to rest and drink some water."

Seeing that Li Hang's attitude was so gentle, the resentment in his stomach dissipated a bit, he returned the salute, and presented the official letter: "The official is ordered by the envoy to pass the letter to know the state, please read it!"

Li Hang took it, opened the package and read it, his expression gradually became a little more serious, and he sighed in his heart, avoiding it is inevitable.In fact, the conflict in the lobby of the yamen the day before yesterday reached Li Hang's ears the next day, and Li Hang analyzed it, and the result was hard to be optimistic.

Li Hang suddenly realized that his actions were still inappropriate. Although he did not agree with Pan You's political style, he also worked for the court, and Pan You was the chief official arranged by the court to preside over the overall situation in Gyeonggi-do. No worries, dare not directly confront.

However, an official document explanation is obviously not convincing enough.As far as the situation of the conflict between the department and the government is concerned, the disputes and conflicts at the Taoist level have become superficial. At this time, my own behavior is likely to be involved in it, and may be used by those conservatives as a pawn against Pan You .But the key point is that he, Li Hang, is also a reformer. Even if there is a conflict, it is an internal problem.
While reflecting, Li Hang also considered how to deal with the aftermath of this matter. No matter what, at least he should not conflict with Pan You and ease the relationship.However, this is not wishful thinking, it depends on Pan You's attitude.Before that, he needs to do a good job in the reform work and make results.

However, after reading Pan You's letter, Li Hang's heart was more than half relieved. At least judging from the meaning expressed in the official letter, Pan You wanted an explanation first, rather than a direct blow. I don't want to be as headstrong, arrogant and rude as in the rumors.

"There are still some finishing touches on the accounts of Zhuang Qiu's tax. After I finish cooking in this state, I will go to Yingchang on my errand!" Li Hang said.

The envoy looked at Li Hang in surprise, and the envoy couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and said: "As the chief official of a state, Zhizhou is busy with business, no matter how important the taxation matter is, the tax of one county and one village in this district is not enough. As for letting Zhizhou come and ask in person!"

"I don't know about the mission!" Li Hang smiled lightly and said, "This year's autumn tax in Yuanwu County is different from previous years. It is collected according to the new system of the imperial court. The implementation of the new system involves changes in all aspects of the government and the people, and problems may arise at any time. If you don’t look at it yourself, you won’t feel at ease!”

Li Hang spoke calmly, but hearing what he revealed, the envoy couldn't help but be surprised and said: "The meaning of Zhizhou, the new tax system, has already been officially implemented in Zhengzhou?"

"It's not Zhengzhou!" Li Hang shook his head and corrected, "It's just Yuan Wu!"

As Pan You's envoy, he is naturally a confidant. When he heard Li Hang's affirmative reply, he was stunned for a while, and then he said with emotion: "Even if it is only the original Wu County, it will not be easy! It seems that Si Ya has a good understanding of Zhizhou. , There is a misunderstanding! Such an action can be regarded as a model for tax reform in Gyeonggi Province, so how can it be delayed?"

"Zhizhou is vigorous and resolute, and I admire it!"

Seeing this, Li Hang smiled lightly, pointed to a book on the table beside him and said, "This book is an account from this state to Mr. Pan!"
