Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 550 Yuan Zi Gongyang
Situ Luzhi seems to have grasped the trick. Old age is not a disaster for ministers. Occasionally, he can indeed become a talisman. Just like Lu Zhi, no one in the temple dares to oppose him. Even if you have complaints in your heart, you can't reveal them. After all, this is a veteran who has worked hard for the big man for decades. What can you say about him?What qualifications does he have to say about him?
Yuan Shao never thought that this old Situ who didn't have a deep friendship with him would actually support him in the temple. Although his actions seemed a bit rascal, they were very effective. After he opened his mouth, no one dared to argue anymore. They can't afford to offend such an old minister, if he dies in anger, it's really hard to tell, and he will bear a bad reputation forever, the more they value his reputation, the less he dares to argue with him.

Under the strong interference of old Situ, the courtiers who had shouted their voices of opposition fell silent. Lu Zhi looked at them, and then looked up at the emperor. The emperor understood what he meant and immediately let the government It was formally approved and carried out by Shangshutai. Xing Ziang immediately accepted the order without saying a word. Yuan Shao was relieved. In fact, he is no different from these officials in the court. He also hates these merchants and despises these officials. These cheap people.

However, as Sikong, he is very clear about the situation of the state treasury. If there is no other way, the state treasury will not be able to withstand such tossing by the emperor. It is really a great achievement to say something disrespectful to the emperor today, and he must go to the emperor Xiaokang everywhere. Bi, his heart is higher than the sky, and he wants to do better than Emperor Xiaokang. Emperor Xiaokang established Hezhou and Xinzhou to expand the territory for the great Han. Then he will establish Ningzhou and Xizhou, which will be better than the previous emperor. many.

The first emperor established Hongdu Menxue, built Taixue, and Menzixue. He wanted to establish Taixue in various places and build East and West colleges.

The first emperor built Chidao in Yan, Henan, Hebei, and You, and the emperor will build Chidao on a large scale all over the world.

The first emperor started farming, mobilizing the power of the people to promote agriculture and mulberry, and the emperor wanted to set up border guards and cultivate countless fields in the frontier areas.

The first emperor engaged in foreign trade and did business with Guishuang, but today he wants Guishuang to trade with Anxilai Dahan, and also collects their commercial taxes.

The first emperor practiced benevolent government, reduced all kinds of taxes, and reduced the burden for the people. Today, we have to support the elderly, the weak, the orphans, the disabled, and arrange for the elderly.

But all ministers who have stayed in the temple for a long time can feel the enthusiasm of the emperor. He is imitating the late emperor in everything, or in other words, he wants to do everything better than Emperor Xiaokang. In addition, if Yuan Shao guessed correctly, Emperor Xiaokang was going to do water conservancy projects, drive roads, assess, build the south, etc., the emperor probably will do it in the future, and the cost will be even greater.

This is simply forcing Sikong to his death. When Yuan Shao took office, he was still high-spirited and famous, but now he has gray hair. Standing with Yuan Shu, he looks like him instead of his brother! !

Yuan Shao himself didn't know how long he could hold on to this position. If he could hold the position for one day, he would hold on for one day. He would try his best not to empty the treasury. Otherwise, he would be the only one who suffered. No one would understand how much money was spent on the implementation of a policy or the victory of a war. They would only feel that it was their own fault that caused the treasury to run out.

After Yuan Shao understood this truth, he abandoned the persistence in his heart. He didn't have to try his best to please those ministers, and he didn't have to pay attention to his image in the eyes of those people. , I can do it myself. This position is not given by others, but by the emperor. To put it bluntly, I just need to please the emperor in front of me.

After Yuan Shao's proposal was successfully passed, the emperor said, "Besides this, there is one more thing."

His eyes swept over Cai Yong, Hua Xiong, Zhang He and others.

He said: "The matter of Zhang Song."

Everyone was stunned, each lowered their heads, and it was time to talk about this matter. The emperor looked at everyone and said: "I am not reprimanding you for doing things badly, even though many people have disappointed me this time, what I want to say is, How to prevent such a situation from happening, in the land of Sili, in front of me, there are such a group of villains who form cliques for personal gain, how about in other places, I really dare not think about it, I think it is still Yushi, embroidered clothes , the governor needs to be strengthened"

Hearing the emperor's words, everyone panicked. Since the Jianning period, the restrictions and supervision on the officials have become more and more severe, and now they need to be strengthened?What can we great sages do with this!They subconsciously want to object, but they can't find words to refute. Zhang Song's incident just happened, and they all know how angry the emperor is. They are all great sages and don't need supervision. Isn't this a dead end?

"Your Majesty!!! The minister has played!!!"

One person in the court opened his mouth, and this person opened his mouth like thunder. Most of the people were used to it and didn't respond. Only the newcomer Hua Xiong jumped up in fright. He groped around his waist but couldn't find the sword. Looking at Zhang Fei not far away, seeing his reaction, many people burst into laughter, and the emperor also smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, Mr. Hua, this person is the servant Yushi, Mr. Zhang."

Looking at Zhang Fei who was frowning and displeased not far away, Hua Xiong sat down and looked at him in shock, without taking his eyes off him.

The Son of Heaven also asked, "How can Mr. Zhang play?"

"Your Majesty thinks!!! There is not enough manpower to serve the censor!!! To monitor the officials, you can't see with your eyes, you can't hear with your ears, how can you do it??? Please increase the post of the censor, and allow us to go to the mansion of the officials. The matter of the inspector can monitor the policy, and it is equipped with manpower. As for the governor, his own power is sufficient and there is no need to increase it. In addition, I hope that His Majesty can allow the Yushitai and the Tingwei to act jointly, and order the Tingwei to arrest them. The matter of arrest!!!"

After Zhang Fei finished speaking, the Son of Heaven frowned, looked at the officials, and asked, "What do you think?"

Sun Jian said: "It is entirely feasible to add Yushitai, but Ting Wei is one of the nine ministers and cannot be subordinate to Yushitai." Just after he finished speaking, Lu Bu on the side also said: "Your Majesty, now In Luoyang, there are Tingwei, Embroidered Clothes Envoy, Zhijinwu, and Sili Xiaowei. They are all equipped with soldiers, enough to catch traitors, or monitor the thieves. If the Yushitai is also added, I am afraid it will be uncomfortable. !"

But Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "The Embroidered Clothes Messenger!! That's from the Son of Heaven!! Ting Wei is the one who inspects and arrests, Zhi Jin Wu is the one who arrests the thieves, Sili Xiaowei is the governor of Sili Prefecture!!! We are the ones who really monitor the officials. If we are not given manpower, do we have to rely on guesswork to impeach the traitors?? I don’t want Yushitai to be equipped with soldiers, but I just need some available manpower who can carry out supervision They use!!"

The two sides argued endlessly in the hall, and it was not until the end that the emperor himself decided that he had increased some of the powers of Yushitai, but he did not give the soldiers or allow them to transfer court officials as Zhang Fei said. The governors of various places have still made some changes, such as changing the original annual schedule to a quarterly schedule once every three months. In addition, they have also strengthened the power of Ting Wei and raised their arrest limit to Two thousand stone level.

After the court meeting ended, Zhang Fei had just walked out when he felt someone was still following him. He ignored it, put on his shoes, walked out of the palace, and this person was still following him. Unable to suppress the anger in his heart, he turned around, looked angrily at Hua Xiong in front of him, and asked: "What's the matter, sir?" Hua Xiong walked to his side with a smile, and said: " How do you speak so loudly? Can you teach me??"

Zhang Fei's face gradually turned black, he gritted his teeth, and said, "This is how I was born!!!"

"Then you ever got married, do you have a sister who is waiting to be married? A daughter is also fine!!"

On the other hand, Yuan Shu also told the news of Sima's pregnancy to several officials in the East Palace. Everyone was happy for Yuan Shu. Zhou Yu and Liu Mastiff even prepared gifts in advance. As Yuan Shu's disciples, they needed to present generous gifts. And other people also prepared presents one after another. It can be seen that in the East Palace, the Grand Tutor Yuan Shu is still very respected by everyone. However, for some reason, Yuan Shu really doesn't like to come to the East Palace recently. In my own mansion.

Every time Liu Mastiff and others visited him, they could see him busy writing "Gongyang Jiegu". After connecting with the Theory of the Third World, he has more ideas, and then this book will continue to be written. Yuan Shu has written all his thoughts in this book in the near future. At the same time, he has not yet Forget to publicize these thoughts with Liu Mastiff and others.

Yuan Shu’s thoughts are easy to understand. Since ancient times, many thinkers have been arguing about whether the country should be rich or the people should be rich. In the pre-Qin period, most Confucian thinkers talked about enriching the people rather than the country’s wealth. The Legalists were just the opposite. They talk about the wealth of the country, not the wealth of the people. For example, Shang Yang once said that the people should not be too poor, otherwise they will easily leave their land and do not allow the country to use them for farming.

Likewise, they must not be too rich, or they will underestimate state rewards and disrupt social order.

Confucianism believes that the people should be rich, and the country's money is the best in the hands of the people.

Of course, later on, there was also Xunzi who put forward the theory of the country’s wealth and the people’s wealth. Xunzi believed that the poor will be poor, and the rich will be rich. He connected the two and believed that neither point should be ignored. He combined them again, and while continuing Xunzi’s ideas, he put forward the theory of the wealth of the people and the country again. He was slightly different from what Xunzi thought. will become rich.

Yuan Shu believed that the wealth should be concentrated in the country first to make the country rich, then the literati should be reused to make the literati rich, and finally the policies that benefit the people should be implemented through money to make the people rich. Yuan Shu's Theory of Gongyang III and Three Wealths!

Not only Liu Mastiff, but Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Pang Tong also listened carefully to Yuan Shu's explanation. Yuan Shu didn't mind them putting forward their own ideas. I will try my best to solve it, think hard, and constantly improve the new Ram School that has just taken shape.
