Chapter 1024: The Sacred Heart(1/2)
Officials and officials are insurmountable gaps. This has always been the case for more than a hundred years, even if they trace upwards a thousand years, it is generally the case.
Now Ouyang Zhi is trying to let a group of minor officials be his parents... How is this... possible? It's simply ridiculous and nonsense!
How many juren have not been elected to take office until now? Is it worthy of a group of people who may not even have the fame of scholars?
The officials of the Ming Dynasty valued fame and fortune the most, and they had an innate sense of superiority.
So, everyone was in an uproar.
Liu Jian seemed to think that Ouyang Zhi's words would cause a rebound, so he hurriedly said to him: "Zijie, don't joke..."
Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment.
He seemed to have expected this result...
However... he always reacted a little slower.
Seeing many people looking at him in surprise... Ouyang Zhi probably understood what consequences these words would cause.
But... Ouyang Zhi was a loyal man. During his tenure as a county magistrate, he really considered this issue.
Why do so many officials who know nothing about the people's sentiments can serve as high-ranking officials, and many of the servants, who are obviously very familiar with their subordinates, have many people who have strong abilities in their work, but they are always officials?
Can the implementation of the new policy really rely on a group of officials who only know how to read the books of sages?
With them, how can the new policy be implemented?
Countless questions were placed before him.
There is an Ouyang Zhi in the world that can solve the problem of Dingxing County and implement the new policy in Dingxing County, but... how many Ouyang Zhi in the world are there?
These officials who follow themselves and implement the new policy have become familiar with the new policy. Why can't they replace those officials who only know how to keep up with illness?
If you don’t solve this problem, what can you do even if you become the prime minister?
Those below know nothing about the new policy, and will only distort the new policy and will only disobey the slander.
On the contrary, those who start from the bottom, come into contact with practice, and cultivate a group of such people, can continue to persevere in the new policy.
Ouyang Zhi wanted to speak...
Fang Jifan saw it and felt heartbroken.
He just praised this guy, but turned his head and he was about to be in trouble.
It’s been hard for you to be a teacher, but you have gained some good reputation. Why are you so straightforward?
Of course, this honesty may be transmitted from oneself.
Fang Jifan was a little anxious. He smiled and said, "Yes, in my opinion, just like that, this is not a joke. Ouyang Zhi is my most proud disciple. Do he dare to joke in front of His Majesty? Your Majesty, if you want to implement the new policy, you must need a group of people like Tian Jing!"
As soon as this statement comes out...
In an instant, the surprised officials were immediately in an uproar.
It's true.
No wonder this honest and loyal Ouyang Zhi would say such inappropriate words.
The tenth chapter was taught by his mentor Fang Jifan.
Originally, his disgust towards Ouyang Zhi was instantly transferred to Fang Jifan.
Only Fang Jifan, a scumbag in the world, dared to do such a taboo and forever.
It's simply... it's outrageous!
Ouyang Zhi was stunned again.
He was like a short-circuited machine, and his mind was a little confused.
After a moment, he came back to his senses and looked at his mentor deeply.
But his eyes were red.
He came with the courage to destroy both body and reputation.
In his opinion, this is the right thing. Since it is the right thing, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles are, they must be done.
So, he mustered up the courage.
But who knew that at this moment, wasn’t this obvious enough for the teacher to be so careless? The teacher wanted to protect himself, but he pulled all the hatred on him.
People will soon remember an honest man named Ouyang Zhi who suddenly wanted to dig out the roots of Jinshi and Juren, but they will only remember that a man named Fang Jifan was still making trouble again. This guy is already stubborn and has no morality and great virtue.
All Ouyang Zhi's words and deeds will be considered to be coerced by his mentor Fang Jifan.
People will not hate Ouyang Zhi, they will only think that Ouyang Zhi is a person worthy of sympathy.
Ouyang Zhi is about to cry.
My mentor... is so considerate to me. Even my own father is afraid that it is just that.
He bit his lip, and was about to say something.
Fang Jifan was polite and continued: "Your Majesty, the new policy should be implemented, which means that it is an extraordinary method. Anything can be tried in the area of the new policy. Even if you try it wrong, you can still modify it in the future. Since Your Majesty has made Baoding Prefecture an area for the implementation of the new policy, you should ignore the old rules in this area. There is nothing in this world that cannot be tried. My son has done nothing and worked hard over the years. I beg Your Majesty to give it a try. If it is right, this is the reason for Your Majesty's wiseness, but if it is wrong..."
Fang Jifan bowed and gritted his teeth. Even if his beloved disciple is Wang Shouren, it is not you Ouyang Zhi. You can cheat me: "If you are wrong, I will take it with all my strength. I have six disciples... No, seven... and no, plus the emperor and the grandson, there are countless numbers, otherwise... together..."
Emperor Hongzhi's face changed. What do you think? Do you want me to cut down all your disciples? What should I do with my grandson?
He immediately said, "This matter... has been discussed for a long time."
Emperor Hongzhi naturally knew that the seriousness of this matter was almost a hornet's nest. Fang Jifan, the kid, was uncomfortable with himself.
But... since it is a new policy area, everything can be tried, and if it is wrong, you can change it. But if you don't try it, then... what else can you talk about the new policy?
These words... made Emperor Hongzhi's thoughts slightly move.
"Your Majesty..." Among the officials, many people were eager to try.
This time, it was a complete loss of jobs.
So many scholars have studied hard for the sake of the title of the Golden List. Isn’t they just want to be an official?
Now if an official can be an official, then what is the point of studying hard?
Emperor Hongzhi suppressed his hand: "Okay, don't argue anymore."
He suppressed the dissatisfaction of his ministers.
Then, he looked at Fang Jifan deeply: "Fang Qing family, I only come to ask you, is it really necessary to implement the new policy?"
Fang Jifan glanced at Ouyang Zhi.
This guy...is obviously still dead. This should be the dow system or the one connected to the phone line.
Fang Jifan said: "That's right."
Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment and looked at Liu Jian: "Is Liu Qing's family opposed?"
Liu Jian smiled bitterly. He could see that behind him was already full of resentment.
He nodded: "Your Majesty, the country has never set a precedent for a hundred and twenty years."
Emperor Hongzhi said, "What if I am just extra mercy? Tian Jing and others have made contributions, and I will give them the same origin as Juren?"
"this……"
Emperor Hongzhi said lightly again: "There is Baoding Prefecture, there is no Zhengding County, and there is no new policy. Today, who will make up for the deficit of the Ministry of Revenue? Fang Jifan said he was willing to be a guarantee, so... what if I asked them to hold the county government on behalf of the same juren? They are not real officials, so... they should have a try?"
The ministers whispered.
Some people shook their heads, but some people's emotions gradually calmed down.
Being a juren from the same origin...of course, it does not belong to a real juren.
This seems to be a method of both worlds.
But... everyone is still unsure.
After all... this precedent has been opened.
Think about how many real juren are still waiting for election in the Ministry of Personnel, waiting for the court to fill the gaps and give a local small official, but a group of officials...
Emperor Hongzhi said seriously: "I think that since it is a new policy, there is nothing wrong with trying it. If I don't do it well, I will ask Fang Jifan first. If I do it well, it is not my credit, but Tian Jing and others' credit, the new policy, the new policy, and the new policy, we must never make any rash efforts. But in this Baoding Prefecture, I trust Fang Qing's family and Ouyang Qing's family... Tian Jing, come forward to speak."
Tian Jing is already crazy...
He was confused and suddenly felt like he was dreaming.
"Little man...Little man..." His tears fell like rain curtains.
A small lowly official usually serves the official, but he never expected that someone would come to ask for an official for such a lowly official.
Some people recognize their abilities in this way!
He even never expected that... His Majesty would actually stand against the public opinion.
Once upon a time... he felt that the temple was far away from him, and the officials were also far away from him.
And now... he was busy bowing and kowtowing, his head hitting the tiles, and his bruises were all over.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Fang Qing family and Ouyang Qing family protect you, I hope... you don't let them down."
To be continued...
