Chapter 1017 Don't Ask About Motives
Unknowingly, the six years of Jian'an came to an end.

With the arrival of planners from various counties one after another, Situ Mansion entered the busiest season, and Handan City became lively.

In addition to official duties, the top planners wandered inside and outside Handan City.While enjoying Zhao's food and watching Zhao's songs and dances, Zhuge Liang's various measures to govern Handan were also heard from different channels and in different ways.

While lamenting Zhuge Liang's brilliance, they also realized a problem.

What Zhuge Liang can do, most of them can do too.Even though not every county has a solid foundation like Handan, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome if we rise to a higher level from the existing foundation.

It is self-evident that Dutian helps to stabilize people's hearts, and it is also indispensable to economic development.

Only when people are full and have solved the problem of survival can they think of development.

Few people think about the future when there is a last meal but no next meal.

As a result, the number of counties and states applying for Dutian suddenly increased.

Those who come in person from the sheriff or the prime minister will apply directly to Situ Mansion.If the county guard or the prime minister did not come, the chief strategist either made an agreement in advance and made an application on his own, or sent someone back urgently to ask for instructions.

The above plan is not yet over. After rough statistics, the Situ Mansion found that excluding Yizhou and Jiaozhou, which have not yet resumed direct control by the imperial court, nearly [-]% of the prefectures and states applied for land, and the remaining [-]% also held an ambiguous attitude, that is, they did not apply. , do not object, resign to fate.

There are also counties and states that insist on opposing Dutian, but there are only a handful of them.For a model like Bohai, most people keep a rare clarity and stay away from it.

The status quo of Biyi Bohai's one-year implementation of benevolent government is in front of everyone.

The scholar-bureaucrats may support Zhang Zhao's benevolent government, but ordinary people don't buy it at all. They would rather leave their hometowns and move to the county of Dutian.

The attraction of land was too great for them.

This directly led to a serious shortage of household registration in Bohai, and the loss was even more tragic than after several wars.

After all, there are too few scholar-bureaucrats who are willing to sacrifice their interests for the sake of virtue.

Between righteousness and benefit, more people choose the real benefit and give up the ideal righteousness.

This caused controversy within Situ Mansion.

Some people believe that applications from all counties and states should not be accepted.Obviously, some people apply for Dutian not for the common people at all, but for their own political achievements.It is not advisable to let them implement Dutian when it is not yet conclusive whether Dutian is more beneficial.

For their own political achievements, these people will forcefully advance regardless of their care.It is hard to say whether there will be benefits after one year, but the short-term harm is real.

Letting these guards carry out Dutian will hurt Dutian's reputation even more.

Others believe that all applications should be accepted and let them do fieldwork.

The reason is also very simple: so far, Dutian is not a mandatory policy, but encourages the county to decide on its own.Since they want to spend the field, let them spend the field, and they will be responsible for the final result.

It is an imperial decree to encourage land saving, and the Situ Mansion has no power to prohibit land saving.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is an undoubted fact that saving land is conducive to the recovery of people's livelihood.Whether in theory or in practice, saving land is more conducive to increasing the enthusiasm of the people for production and reducing the possibility of people causing chaos due to poverty.

The two opinions were in dispute, and finally reached Liu Xie's ears.

Liu Xie sent people to invite Yang Biao, including some main officials of Situ Mansion, and after listening to the arguments of both parties, he gave a clear answer.

All the counties and countries that apply for the field can be awarded the field.The Situ Mansion can't ban it, but it can strengthen supervision to see if anyone took advantage of the opportunity to benefit from private interests during the process of saving the land, and reversed the operation to give the land of the common people to the big clan. The amount of land is not real, the figures are concealed, and the people are allowed to bear more taxes with insufficient land.

Not only should Situ Mansion be responsible for this issue, but Sikong Mansion should be deeply involved and assume the responsibility of supervision.In order to be able to effectively supervise the counties and states, it is necessary to select a group of young scholars from the local area to assist in the work.

As a reward, young scholars who are dedicated to their duties can be candidates for county supervisors.

Yang Biao and Zhou Zhong accepted the will and followed it.

Finally, Liu Xie said to Yang Biao, don't worry about whether the guardians who apply for land saving are out of personal interests, but whether the process of their land saving meets the requirements and whether the result is beneficial to the court and the people.

Motivation can be used as a bonus or deduction item for future rewards or punishments, and should not be the basis for judging whether it is feasible.Whether it is feasible depends on the actual situation.

Is it possible to require all officials to be impartial and have no selfishness at all?

It's enough to be selfish and not to harm the public.

Unrealistically high standards and strict requirements will only force people to conceal their true intentions and create a group of hypocrites.

Yang Biao nodded slightly, nodding in agreement

Zhou Zhong was expressionless.

-

Before the new year came, Liu Xie announced two more things.

One is to strip the function of recording daily life notes from Lantai, and return to Taishi, under Taichang.

Taichang is nominally under the jurisdiction of Situ.Liu Xie's move is tantamount to handing over the responsibility of recording daily life notes to the Situ Mansion, fulfilling the promise of returning the government to the three princes.

After being stripped of this function, Lantai can focus on academic research, disengage from actual government affairs, and become a purely academic institution, providing advisors and consulting support for the emperor.

This is not a change, but a restoration of Lantai's true colors.

In this regard, Lantai and Jiangwutang became the brains and advisers of the emperor, one on the left and one on the right, one article and one military.

Considering that both Lantai and Jiaowutang have a large number of documents, Liu Xie decided to build another printing workshop affiliated to Shaofu to provide services for Lantai and Jiaowutang to engrave books.

The scale of this printing workshop is not large, but the craftsmanship and technical requirements are relatively high, so as to ensure that the printed books are high-quality, pleasing to the eye, and valuable for collection.

This task was naturally given to Zhen Mi.

Correspondingly, Zhen Mi was also brought into the harem and became a nobleman.

The Jizhou Yinfang she presided over was handed over to Xing Yong's wife Zhang.

When the news came out, neither Situ nor Sikong reacted violently.

The Son of Heaven attaches great importance to culture and education, and it is common for noble people to hold the printing workshop. It is well known that Xun Wenqian is in charge of the Tongwenguan printing workshop, and Song Du and Dong Wan are in charge of the Taixue printing workshop. not good.

Anyway, it's all a private matter of the inner dynasty, they don't bother to take care of it.

As for Zhen Mi being a noble person, they felt it was more natural.

Not only natural, but long overdue.

Jizhou people have always been brooding about the imperial court's intentional or unintentional suppression.The son of heaven obviously had both his parents from Jizhou, but he exiled half of the Jizhou scholar-bureaucrats overseas on the grounds of Shenpei, Tian Feng and others' rebellion.

Although the imperial court actively recruited Jizhou scholars to join the army, doubts have always been there.

Now accepting Zhen Mi as a nobleman, it can be regarded as the end of the suppression of Jizhou, turning to the direction of wooing, which is conducive to the return of Jizhou's scholar-bureaucrats.

As expected, as soon as the news of Zhen Mi's entry into the palace came out, the whole Jizhou erupted.

Countless people rushed to tell and congratulate each other.

After waiting for more than a hundred years, the resentment accumulated because of Queen Guo Shengtong was finally released.

Jizhou people's opportunity has come.
