Xiao Gu and Ding Du wanted to fight, but of course they were stopped. Ding Du was so aggrieved that he almost shed tears: Damn it, you just hit me today, I can't even fight back?

But looking at the tangled muscles of Xiao Gu and Gao Yijian, he hoped that the person holding him should tighten his grip.

Zhang Heng was a little dumbfounded, so he could only break up the fight quickly, and waited until everyone calmed down before saying: "Actually, this is not difficult to understand. Let me tell you this, it's just that the evaluation standards are different.

Think about it, everyone, there are rich and poor people in each road. If we were to rank them based only on the taxes paid, then those who work as transport envoys on the rich road will enjoy the blessings, while those who work as transport envoys on the poor road will obviously suffer a disadvantage.

.

Therefore, to evaluate whether a transfer link is qualified or not, we should calculate it based on the growth of various data of the road. Therefore, although the total volume of Guangnan West Road is not large, the growth rate is not low. This shows that Xiao Transfer Dealer has great influence on Guangnan West Road.

Nanxi Road’s contribution.

A lot of land on Jiangnan East Road was abandoned last year, and taxes also dropped a lot. The overall growth rate is much lower than that of Guangnan West Road, so... It is normal for Guangnan West Road to be ranked in front of Jiangnan East Road.

ah."

Everyone nodded, so everyone can understand.

But Song Xiang discovered the problem and sneered: "According to this arrangement, it is unfair to our road to prosperity."

Everyone looked at Song Xiang.

Song Xiang explained: “Everyone knows that various roads in the south of the Yangtze River have been developed for tens or hundreds of years, and the history can even be traced back hundreds of years.

Ding Du said in a deep voice: "What the hell is this! We are all transit envoys, why should we report to a young boy like you? We don't accept it!"

Zhang Heng laughed: "Okay, my Mr. Bao, you have taken the blame for me so many times. How can I hide behind you every time? Now I should also serve the people of the world."

You’re taking the blame, aren’t you?”

Zhang Heng nodded.

To put it bluntly, even if they are all high officials in one territory, their status will be high or low.

Zhang Heng nodded and said with a smile: "It's just an ordinary way of doing things, not a party."

Bao Zheng remembered that Zhang Heng's official position was now higher than his own, and he was already the fourth-year-old censor Zhongcheng. He also laughed: "Time flies so fast. That green-robed junior official back then is now a senior official."

You are a minister of the imperial court wearing a royal robe, that’s right, from now on I will have to rely on your breath, Zhang Zhongcheng.”

Xiao Gu fell into deep thought and asked Meng Fu after a while: "Mr. Meng, what do you think?"

Bao Zheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly figured out something and whispered: "You mean one peach kills three people?"

And Xiao Gu didn't want to waste time. Tomorrow was the interview. He needed to discuss with his staff how to deal with it. As for Zhang Heng's suggestion that he could compete to be a transshipment agent elsewhere, Xiao Gu didn't agree.

I dare not hope too much, I just want to be able to keep my job.

But as soon as he returned to the legation, his confidant Meng Fu closed the door and looked like he was discussing secretly.

He was about to step forward, but was pulled back. When he turned around, he saw that it was Song Xiang.

Guangnan East Road wiped out the people from Hebei and Hebei Roads, and all of them were transported to Guangnan East Road. A total of one million households, a population of four to five million, all went to Guangnan East Road. They lost their lives.

With a population of four to five million, can Jiangnan not decline?

There is also Guangnan West Road. Ambassador Xiao Zhuan, do you know why Guangnan West Road has grown? Isn’t it because millions of people suddenly poured in from Guangnan East Road, and they probably bought a lot of food from Guangnan West Road.

Well, there should be a lot of people going to Guangnan West Road to reclaim wasteland, haha."

Meng Fu took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xiao Gu. Xiao Gu looked at it and hesitated: "Who gave this to you?"

Ding Du snorted and said: "It is precisely because I want to explain this to the officials that I want to join you to avenge my personal revenge!"

Xiao Gu quickly said: "What happened?"

Then some neutral transfer envoys, such as Hebei West Road transfer envoy Wei Guan, Jinghu South Road transfer envoy Wei Zushun, Hebei East Road transfer envoy Zu Wuze and others also stepped forward to sign.

Xiao Gu had no family in Bianjing, so he had no choice but to go back to the embassy, ​​and no one took the initiative to treat him to dinner or drinks.

After laughing, Zhang Heng said in a low voice: "Brother Xiren, you don't have to worry. It's true that people will be jealous of this matter, but not everyone may be jealous."

In other words, as long as someone applies to serve as a transit envoy on the road under your jurisdiction, if the increase he promises exceeds your promise, then I will apply to the officials to adjust your dispatch."

Song Xiang shook his head at him, and Ding Du whispered: "Old Song, what are you doing?"

Let’s put it this way, the imperial court doesn’t care whether the road under your jurisdiction is rich or poor. What the imperial court wants is development. Don’t think it’s unfair, transfer envoys. The imperial court has provided a plan for everyone..."

After everyone dispersed, Bao Zheng stayed.

Bao Zheng said worriedly: "What you do is extremely dangerous to yourself. Did you know?"

Zhang Heng laughed: "Ding Zhuanshi, actually I don't want to do this, but the officials want me to do it, and it's just because they have no choice. How about this, let's all ask the officials to replace them with someone else, and I'm just right."

It’s leisurely and I won’t offend anyone. Do you think that’s okay?”

Now that I have come up with such offending methods as taking exams, I think I won't be able to do it for long.

Everyone looked at the smiling Zhang Heng and felt that the young man was like a devil.

Zhang Heng showed a devilish smile: "...it depends on how this journey turns out to convince me in today's report."

Bao Zheng said: "Dao Qing proposed the method of examination and you will be hated by others. If you implement the method of examination, you will still be hated by others, and the jealousy is more specific..."

Ding Du snorted: "Just sign, I'm not afraid!"

Zhang Heng sighed and nodded.

Ding Du saw that Song Xiang also signed, so he had no choice but to follow suit.

Like Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, Ding Du, and Song Xiang who were demoted from the Central Committee, although they were demoted, they still went to Fushu Road to work as transfer envoys. However, Xiao Gu, who came up from a lower place, could only go to Guangnan West Road.

This is a place where no one wants to be a transit messenger.

Moreover, don’t just add a little and then let it go, because if you look at another list, you can apply for employment in other ways.

Zhang Heng nodded and said: "That's about it. It's nothing more than recruiting a group, beating a group, and giving the benefits of the beaten group to the attracted group, so that those who benefited will come to our side.

Those who have been deprived of their benefits can only feel resentment."

"The transfer envoy is a high-ranking official in the border area. The examination has always been aimed at middle and low-level officials. There have never been too strict examination regulations for high-ranking officials such as the transfer envoy. Now that the examination method is proposed, it will inevitably be criticized as harsh government.

.

People under the eaves have to bow their heads.

Zhang Heng said: "Tomorrow there will be an examination consultation meeting at the Procuratorate. The main content is already in the rules. You can go back and discuss it with your colleagues first to see how to formulate this year's growth.

Zhang Heng smiled as he watched everyone sign, and then sent everyone detailed examination rules.

Ye Qingchen was a truly upright minister and one of the original supporters of the Qingli New Deal. He had served as the Third Secretary-General before, but he was jealous of others because he was too strict in governing. He did not serve as the Third Secretary-General for long.

Hearing Song Xiang's words, Zhang Heng also admired him in his heart. Song Xiang's mind was still smart and he found the problem right away.

Bao Zheng also looked worried, but what he was worried about was not that someone would take over his job.

Song Xiang shook his head and said: "The official asked Zhang Heng to preside over it because of Zhang Heng's outstanding performance on Guangnan East Road. On how to develop the road, no one in the Great Song Dynasty could be more authoritative than him. Let's change it to someone else."

When people come, they may not be able to convince everyone..."

Song Xiang stood there with a frown on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Bao Zheng, the transshipment envoy of Guangnan East Road, Xiao Gu, the transshipment envoy of Guangnan West Road, Gao Yijian, the transshipment envoy of Fujian Road, Ouyang Xiu, the transshipment envoy of Jingdong East Road, and Fu Bi, the transshipment envoy of Jingdong East Road, all stepped forward to sign one by one. You can tell what they signed without looking at them.

whether for or against.

Not to mention Song Xiang, even the faces of the other transport envoys became ugly.

Ding Du looked back and saw that it was of no use, because many people had already gone up to sign.

Bao Zheng stared at Zhang Heng and said: "...Aren't you worried about your future?"

After hundreds of years of stable development, the development of various areas in the south of the Yangtze River has long reached a bottleneck. How can it be said that growth is growth? To be honest, even maintaining the status quo depends on whether there are natural or man-made disasters!

For example, in Jiangnan this year, why taxes will be reduced? It’s not because of the disasters in the north in recent years. Originally, Hebei and Hebei Province had to purchase a lot of goods from Jiangnan every year, but everyone knows what the situation is this year.

land.

Including how many fields are planned to be cultivated this year and how much taxes will be increased. Once these data are set, they must be realized by the end of the year. If there is no way to achieve it, everyone should know how to deal with it.

Dao Qing is Ye Qingchen.

Song Xiang ignored Ding Du and went to sign his name.

Song Xiang whispered: "The five principles of the examination method were proposed by Ye Qingchen, and the officials have already agreed. In other words, the overall principles are like this, it's just that the host is different..."

Dingdu snorted and said, "I won't obey him!"

Song Xiang smiled slightly: "...It's useless."

Zhang Heng said this, but he said in his heart: 'When officials say you are a party member, you'd better be a party member.'

Bao Zheng must have stayed on Guangnan East Road for a long time, and his face looked even darker. At this time, his face was solemn and looked especially dark.

Song Xiang's face turned gloomy.

He had predicted the development of Guangnan East Road. This year's outbreak would be unprecedented. No other transshipment envoy would have the courage to report the figures he wanted to report, so he was not worried.

The two suddenly burst into laughter.

Everyone looked at Zhang Heng with concern.

Ding Du was dissatisfied and said: "If someone else were to host it, he might not be able to embarrass us two like this. This guy Zhang Heng is clearly here to embarrass us!"
