The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

"Since the first emperor rectified the aristocratic family, it has only been a few decades. Most of the gentry of the aristocratic family have remembered to restrain themselves, so there is a dispute between the two classes of Luo'an Academy. It is impossible to put such a thing on the front line."

In the study, Sheng Xin smiled at the three pairs of big eyes that looked like her own.

Sheng Yuan nodded three times, knowing that this statement was true, but...how does this have anything to do with what they asked?
Probably understanding their confusion, Sheng Xin put down the teacup that had been blowing for a while, and sighed softly.

"Since he ascended the throne, the emperor has been busy with state affairs, but he still guards against land acquisitions by aristocratic gentry. He not only continues the land survey system established by the late emperor, but also proposes a system of magistrates, prefectures, magistrates, and provincial chief envoys and inspectors.

If there is a discrepancy between the ownership of the land under its jurisdiction and the records in the Fish Scale Book, the chief officials and adjutants at all levels from top to bottom are responsible; therefore, the current private land transfer is extremely restricted, and the process of buying and selling land among the common people is also extremely complicated. For those, the signatures and seals of the village head, the head of the village, and the officials of the county government must be obtained. "

"Troublesome!" The three of Sheng Yuan shook their heads, "I'm afraid there will be a lot of extra expenses for the turnover of buying and selling land."

One more layer of management and one more expense.

The two emperors of Dachu did not want the people to be displaced, and worked hard to formulate various policies, but the people at the bottom of Dachu still suffered from all kinds of invisible exploitation.

Sure enough, the phrase "prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer".

The three young boys whispered to each other for a long time, and they all sighed, but after a while, the three turned their eyes to Sheng Xin who was playing with the tea lid again: "But does this have something to do with our question? We just want to ask the second class of Luo'an Academy old grievances!"

Sheng Xin looked at the three impatient little fellows in front of him, and still said in a leisurely manner according to his own script: "The job of the chief officer is complicated, whether it is aggressive, honest, or greedy and lustful. , Those who want to dawdle, each has their own busy schedule, who has the time to keep an eye on land transfer matters?

Furthermore, when serving as an official, most of the people who rely on the team are local officials; the chief official is a foreigner, and the official is born and raised. In fact, the chief official who has stayed in the locality for a few years and then left can sort out the various interests.

No matter how ambitious and ambitious, it is impossible for the chief official to replace all the officials, it is just to avoid the important and weigh each other.

As long as you stay in the position of magistrate for more than a month, what kind of compromise, balance, exchange of interests, and leverage... Most of them can be learned without a teacher.There is no way, if we do not adopt policies according to local conditions, and want to use our ability to obtain political achievements, it is simply a fantasy!
In many cases, without the help of local officials, no matter how many ideas you have, you can't make good use of them! "

Sheng Xin spoke with emotion frequently, and the three students in Sheng Yuan were greatly taught.

"Brother, you say so much...Could it be to evade yourself?!" Sheng Yuan looked at her elder brother suspiciously, feeling that this dear brother had prepared too much.

"Your brother, I'm just passing on the experience of exposing to you!"

Sheng Xin glanced at her angrily, and continued: "So, after taking office, how to prevent the local gentry from making trouble for themselves, and create a good situation for you, me, everyone, is the first priority for every chief official to solve. The problem, even if the chief officer intends to delay, his right-hand man should remind him, after all, it involves the future, so it should not be underestimated."

"...Brother Xin, look, can you cut it short?" An Yu listened for a long time but didn't see Sheng Xin's words, and begged with a bitter face, "I'm so full of headaches!"

"Hehe." Sheng Xin pursed her lips, her eyes moved slightly, and suddenly she smiled kindly, and asked him softly, "Brother Yu, guess...is there a possibility? Is it?! Of course, you are not very suitable for playing outside."

"???" An Yu felt that Sheng Xin's words were not good, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity, "You mean I'm suitable to be an official in Kyoto?!"

"..." Sheng Xin's smile suddenly turned a little fake, and he said in a harmonious voice, "Have you ever thought that you might be more suitable to be a simple noble, the simplest kind?"

"If it's not suitable, it's not suitable. I'll serve as an adjutant to Sister Yuan in the future!" An Yu confirmed that Mr. Da Lang was laughing at him, and immediately shook his head with great ambition.

He is very broad-minded, and his waist is very soft.

If you can't be the chief officer, then become an adjutant!I have to say that I don't have to separate from my good friends!
The more An Yu thought about it, the brighter her eyes became, and soon she forgot why she was sitting here, and instead chatted enthusiastically with Sheng Yuan.

Sheng Xin looked at them with a smile, and clenched her fists in relief.

"Cough cough!"

Coughing more than ten times in a row, managed to attract the attention of the three who were getting more and more excited.

Sheng Xin was lucky, squeezed out a suitable smile, and then continued: "If you visit the folks, you will actually find some phenomena. In order to avoid tax and corvee, the common people are willing to give their land to Juren, Scholars, and even aristocratic families. Under the name of a nobleman. Therefore, if you want to have a stable official position, you must not only guard against noble families and gentry, but also be wary of common people with land under your name. How about it, does it sound ironic?"

Sheng Yuan didn't see how the friends reacted, she had an indescribable emotion at the moment.

Since she was born, she was well-clothed and well-fed, and she didn't know the sufferings of the people at all, so she felt that she had no right to be angry with them.

Seeing that her younger sister listened to it, Sheng Xin nodded in relief: "Although during my tenure, I have to deal with various forces, and compromises are inevitable, but there is one thing that must not be forgotten. The 'local official' we are also known as Old parents. Those who are parents in one place are authoritative and must not be forgotten."

"Therefore, no matter whether it is a nobleman from aristocratic families or a government official, they are all tools for governing the people. You can use them, but you should not trust them too much. You need to make more preparations in order to be sure of victory."

When Sheng Xin said this, she found that the little girl became more fascinated the more she listened, and the smile on her face became more gentle: "Conflicts have two sides, and both sides of the contradiction must become the key to our measures. Since there are two sides, we can't just take care of one side. .For those old parents, don’t listen to one side and believe one side, let alone be partial.”

"???" Sheng Yuan cheered up when she heard the smile in her brother's words.

Sheng Xin watched the little girl's ears "swish", and continued without a pause: "Sometimes problems are difficult to solve, we can change the angle, use existing resources and advantages, and pry up the places where problems may continue to occur. .”

"Pry out the source of the problem?" A vague idea flashed across Sheng Yuan's mind, but before she could study it carefully, the inspiration disappeared.

"Yes, as long as the source is found, the problem will be solved. Just like the problem that many people are willing to put their land in the name of others, it involves trust. As long as the trust is shaken, then you can take the initiative in your own hands hand."
