Chapter 190 You call this settling the old feud? (Here it comes!)

Leaving the matter of storing grain to the internal storage warehouse does not mean that Zhang Heng will be relaxed.

Because there are still many things to arrange.

Reserved food can only ensure that there is enough food for the victims to survive the most difficult time, but even if all Changping warehouses are full of food, it is impossible to guarantee that all the victims will be fed during the disaster period.

meal.

Zhang Heng wanted to ensure that the victims could not only have enough to eat during the disaster period, but also be able to sow seeds in time after the autumn harvest to ensure a harvest for the next year. The disaster would not be over until the next autumn harvest was good.

In this way, Zhang Heng not only had to ensure that the victims survived the most difficult period, but also had to prepare for the resumption of farming, including the preparation of necessary things such as seeds, farm tools, and cattle, so that the whole thing could be concluded.

During the disaster period, it is necessary to ensure that grain merchants in various places do not take the opportunity to sell grain at high prices, and that the gentry does not take the opportunity to exploit and annex, so as to avoid a large number of refugees. This requires the cooperation of the local government, which requires the issuance of many government orders and coordination with the army. It is necessary

came out to maintain order.

The deployment of various supplies, the wrangling between various departments before the promulgation of various government orders, and the many people holding back things made the already complicated matter even more complicated.

Many things were backlogged and coordinated in just two months, and the workload was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Zhang Heng was neither impatient nor impatient. After the overall arrangement, he would solve any difficulties and resolve any objections. Just by going to various departments to persuade the chief officials, Zhang Heng had very little time to stay in the household. During this period,

, Zhang Heng visited almost all departments in the Song Dynasty.

Food funds need to go to the three departments, military coordination, etc. need to go to the Privy Council. Of course, more often they go to the other four rooms of the Imperial Council, because many things need to be coordinated by other rooms.

The chief officials of various Cao departments need to be persuaded, and the subordinate officials also need Zhang Heng to persuade. Even the deployment of manpower requires Zhang Heng to go to the trial court and Liu Neiquan, and even Liu Waiquan Zhang Heng has to run less.

There is no way. Although there are many people in the household, the workload can no longer be described as saturated. It is running at almost full capacity. Therefore, those who need to go on official business and need to go to various states and counties to supervise things need to go.

Judge Yuan, Liu Neiquan, Liu Waiquan ask for help and coordinate manpower.

Other Cao departments did not escape Zhang Heng's vicious hands. In order to mobilize more people, such as the Privy Council, the Third Division, the Kaifeng Mansion, the supervisory officer of the warehouse and treasury, etc., they were also bullied by Zhang Heng.

They mobilized to take pictures in prefectures and counties, either to supervise, or to directly participate in various affairs.

Of course, there were many people who were dissatisfied during this period. They believed that Zhang Heng had exceeded his authority and used chicken feathers as arrows to attack. There were even officials who constantly accused Zhang Heng of making a fuss out of a molehill and pulling people to work indiscriminately, which led to the daily chaos of various departments.

Everything was affected.

Then when the bullets were like snowflakes, Zhang Heng stepped directly onto the censor's platform, making Gao Ruona, the censor's chief minister, look a little nervous.

While Gao Ruona was scolding the censor for being disobedient, he was also scolding Zhang Heng in his heart. The admonishment court has interfered with you so many times, but if you don't go looking for trouble, I, the censor, will intervene once, and you will come to your door. Why?

Yes, you just look at me so that you can bully me?

Gao Ruona, the imperial censor, saw Zhang Heng and sneered: "You still dare to come to the door?"

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Is this the Yushitai of the Song Dynasty? It is a place where you can tell the twists and turns of right and wrong, and distinguish right from wrong, right?"

Gao Ruona sneered: "The people you sent out constantly asking for bribes were instigated by you, right?"

Zhang Heng looked surprised: "Someone actually asked for a bribe? There is such a person. Gao Cheng, do you know who it is? You are in charge of this. Hurry up and kill them!"

Gao Ruona was speechless for a moment. If Fang Yuanque's request for bribes was revealed, what would Fang Yuanque do if the Gao family embezzled the money and grain from Changpingcang?

He hesitated for a while and said, "What are you doing here?"

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Of course I came here to ask for help. Now signs of famine have appeared in various places. It is said that wealthy families in some places have begun to hoard and continuously purchase food.

Some people started to make loan sharks again, and some even started to purchase land on a large scale in order to annex more land.

Therefore, more people are needed to inspect and supervise in prefectures and counties. There is a shortage of manpower in household houses, so all departments need to assist.

The rest of the Cao Department has sent personnel to assist households. Yushitai is originally a supervisory agency and should be more professional in this regard.

Therefore, I hope that Zhongcheng will also lend a helping hand and send manpower to inspect the place."

Gao Ruona had no expression on his face: "Is there a coordinating document from Zhongshu?"

Zhang Heng shook his head and said: "No."

Gao Ruone's face was expressionless: "Is there an official warrant or oral instruction?"

Zhang Heng shook his head and said: "Still not."

Gao Ruona said: "Then I have no right to send out censors. The censorship station is responsible for supervising officials, but it does not have the power and responsibility to supervise merchants and local wealthy families."

Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Although the Yushitai cannot supervise the local wealthy families and businessmen, it can supervise the supervisors in various places. What the official hopes is that the Yushitai can mobilize the supervisors from various places to jointly supervise the states and counties."

Gao Ruona glanced at Zhang Heng. He did not refute this because what Zhang Heng said was right.

As far as the Song Dynasty is concerned, the main responsibility of the Yushitai is indeed to supervise officials. They generally do not directly supervise local areas. If they supervise local areas, they usually adopt the old system of making outbound inspections. However, there are not many people in the Yushitai, so they

A unique method has also been formed, that is, supervising local areas through the supervision department.

In the Song Dynasty, the Supervision Bureau was a local permanent supervisory agency. Since most of the wealth in the Song Dynasty was transported to Beijing by water, it was called the Caosi Bureau.

For Shuaisi.

The Criminal and Prison Division is in charge of litigation, so it is also called Xiansi; the Changping Division is in charge of trade and monopoly affairs, and it is also called Cangsi.

The four divisions all have the responsibility of supervising the activities of Zezhou County, so they are collectively called the supervisory divisions and also called the outer stage.

The Supervisory Department is the head of local politics, economy, military and justice, and has particularly heavy powers and responsibilities.

Although the Yushitai has no way to directly instruct the four major supervisors, they can influence the supervisors because the Yushitai has the power to evaluate the performance of the four major supervisors, impose consecutive penalties for non-compliance, and correct violations.

Therefore, on the surface, the Yushitai seems to be an isolated institution like Bianjing City. There are not many Yushi Zhongcheng, Yushi, and Yushi Lixing in it, but in fact, it is actually formed through these methods.

Construct a supervisory system of Yushitai-Supervisor-Prefecture and County.

Zhang Heng and Gao Ruona originally had no grudge, but Gao Ruona impeached Jia Changchao, and then Zhang Heng sent people to Xiangzhou to set up a trap for the Gao family. In Gao Ruona's view, this was just an eyesore for him, even if there was no grudge.

There is a grudge.

However, there is a handle in Zhang Heng's hands, and Gao Ruona is also a thief. Recently, Zhang Heng has been making so much noise. The Admonition Court has impeached Zhang Heng many times, but there is no movement on the Yushitai side. It's because he has been

I'm suppressing it, but recently I really can't suppress it anymore.

The Yushitai is a very strange institution. Although the Yushi Zhongcheng is the top leader of the Yushitai, the following Yushi and Yushi Lixing do not all listen to the Yushi Zhongcheng. They have the right to impeach officials beyond the Yushi Zhongcheng. Sometimes they are unhappy with the Yushitai.

When Shi Zhongcheng was in power, he was also impeached.

The thing was like this. Gao Ruona did not refute it, but it was absolutely impossible to send someone to deal with Zhang Heng.

Gao Ruona shook his head and said: "I don't care about this. If you want to mobilize the Yushitai, you can go to the officials and ask for the imperial edict. Humph, that's right. The Zhongshu ones can't do it. The Yushitai is not under their control!"

In the Song Dynasty, only the Yushitai participated in the Zhongshu Province. When will the Zhongshu Province be able to take charge of the Yushitai!"

Tsk, tough.

This is very reasonable. Indeed, only those who are in charge of discipline are in charge of officials. How can an official go to take care of discipline? Isn’t this itchy?

But Zhang Heng wanted to give it a try.

Of course, some people said that it would be enough to talk to Zhao Zhen, why bother to get into trouble yourself?

People who say this don’t really understand the workplace.

If we really go to find Zhao Zhen, is there any use?

Of course it works.

However, when you need the Yushitai, you go to Zhao Zhen. When you want to find the Third Division, you go to Zhao Zhen. When you need to go to the Privy Council, you go to Zhao Zhen...

So in Zhao Zhen's eyes, you have no coordination ability at all. You are in the position of Zhongshu, and when you need coordination from various departments, you can only ask the emperor to coordinate. This process is correct, but

It shows that you are not capable of doing things!

Of course, you can also ask Zhao Zhen to issue an edict asking Baisi Cao to cooperate, but Baisi Cao may have strong opinions in his heart. If you have anything to do, you can just come to us. Why do you have to do this once?

So they will appear to be very cooperative on the surface, and then try to stymie you privately. It is better to coordinate the work between departments from the beginning, and then ask Zhao Zhen to coordinate when there is really no other way.

The same reason why I came to the Yushitai today was the same. Unless I had no choice, I would never touch Zhao Zhen.

And...he also has a trump card.

Zhang Heng chuckled: "Changpingcang..."

Gao Ruonei scolded: "Shut up!"

Zhang Heng smiled and said nothing.

Gao Ruona stared at Zhang Heng fiercely: "You allow your subordinates to ask for bribes, aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

Zhang Heng said in surprise: "I really don't know about this, but the high school prime minister allowed the Gao family to run rampant in Xiangzhou, but the Qi family is not capable enough. How can a person who can't even supervise the family well supervise the officials of the world?"

Gao Ruona was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

Zhang Heng sighed and said: "Prime Minister Gao, you are a respectable elder. Due to your mother's illness, you are proficient in medical books, even though all the Chinese doctors have failed.

Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", Sun Simiao's "Book of Prescriptions" and "Secrets of Waitai" have not been circulated for a long time. They have been copied and revised, and the existence of these books has been known for the first time in the world. Many famous doctors came from Xiangzhou, and they all came from the Gao family.

You are a person of high moral character. The previous impeachment of Xianggong Jia was just based on common practice. Xianggong Jia did not think that you were targeting him, so he persuaded the officials not to demote the high school prime minister to another place..."

Gao Ruona sneered: "Then what's the matter with you sending people to Xiangzhou and setting a trap for my uncle!"

Zhang Heng shook his head and said: "Fang Yuanque inspected the East-West Road in Hebei Province, and other prefectures and counties also did the same. The purpose is to deal with this disaster. It is not aimed at the Gao family. On the contrary, he has the idea of ​​​​burying the hatchet."

Gao Ruonei sneered and said: "Resolve the past feud? Let the Gao family lose two hundred thousand shi of food. What kind of burying the hatchet is this!"

Zhang Heng sighed: "That is the imperial court's regular rice, not the rice grain of the Gao family. If the official is targeting you, then you should be on the way to Qiongzhou now, and your people should also be on the road to exile."
