Chapter 513 Xu Fan understands
Zhang Hao was there to explain to Li Chunfang, and Li Chunfang nodded quickly and then said, "It's still comfortable here. There are not so many troublesome things. Just do your own things well. In the court, you are careful every day, for fear of offending others, and you have to stare at others. What opportunities do you have? Everyone is rushing to do things here!"
"Well, do things well, the court was ruined by this trend, which made those officials start to be innocent and unpragmatic. Originally, we officials needed to be pragmatic and do something good for the people!" Zhang Hao nodded and said to Li Chunfang.
"Yes, what the lord said is that when we are officials, many of us have ambitions when we are studying, but now a few of those officials still remember their ambitions.
When I was studying, I wanted to pass the Jinshi exam and fight against those corrupt officials. But now, I don’t have this idea. I dare not. Those corrupt officials are very powerful. Their methods are endless. If you want to deal with them, your superiors will probably not agree.
We have seen clearly in the Hanlin Academy in recent years. They have no bottom line in doing things. They are thinking about it and keep it apart. It’s not bad anyway. Although you won’t be rich or powerful, you can support your family!” Li Chunfang sat there and said with a wry smile.
"Then change him. If you can't change it for a day, then you can't change it for a year. If you can't change it for a year, then you will have ten years. Now we are still young and still have time to fight with them!" Zhang Hao said with a smile, and then continued to eat.
After dinner, Zhang Hao continued to be busy, and Li Chunfang was also learning here. In the future, he would leave it to him to manage it. If he didn't understand the basic techniques, how to manage the craftsmen at that time,
In the capital, the ministers kept making trouble in the next few days, but Wang Bangrui was also very smart. If he didn't go to the cabinet, those memorials were not important now. If there were any important ones,
Wang Bangrui finished the deal very early, then ran away and got it back. When the ministers came to the cabinet to find Wang Bangrui, they could not find anyone. However, the other cabinet ministers said that they were not inclusive and could not go to the emperor. Besides, the cabinet chiefs on duty were not going, and it would be useless for them to go.
In the evening, Xu Jie returned to his mansion and was also thinking about this. The cabinet probably couldn't stand it anymore. In the past two days, he would need to be imprisoned to the emperor. Xu Jie thought that Zhang Hao would probably still solve it by then, but Zhang Hao would have to offend those ministers if he had to deal with it. Xu Jie did not want Zhang Hao to offend those ministers!
"Hey!" Xu Jie sighed, and Xu Fan, who was sitting next to him, heard it and looked at his father.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Xu Fan looked at Xu Jie and asked.
"Things to the court!" Xu Jie said.
"Dad, are you talking about the ministers' letters this time?" Xu Fan asked immediately.
"Well, if this matter is not resolved, Zhang Hao will probably solve it then. This is not possible. Your brother-in-law cannot continue to offend those civil officials now. Before he created a land policy and investigated corruption, he has offended those officials. If he continues to fight against those civil officials, your brother-in-law will be held back by anything at that time. I guess there will be constant impeachment memorials in the future!" Xu Jie sat there and said worriedly.
"My brother-in-law is still afraid of this?" Xu Fan immediately sneered.
"It's not that you are afraid of whether you are afraid or not, but that there is no need to be such trouble. If there are too many memorials like this, what will the emperor miss your brother-in-law?" Xu Jie stared at Xu Fan and asked.
"I don't believe that my brother-in-law will be impeached by those ministers. Not to mention anything else, just talk about the governance of my brother-in-law in Shuntian Prefecture. Now, no one in Shuntian Prefecture is corrupt, and the people also love our county magistrates very much. Even Qin Liangyi said that they will probably need to be promoted after completing this term here.
And they have to be promoted to an important position, but they are not corrupt. It is impossible for the emperor to ignore such officials.
Besides, what does it have to do with the civil ministers you mentioned that they are not in dealing with their brother-in-law? After some years, there will be many ministers around you. They also admire their brother-in-law and they will also help their brother-in-law. Now their brother-in-law is weak, but with the support of the emperor, what are you afraid of?
Most of the officials around my brother-in-law are honest officials, just for the sake of the people. I don’t believe that they can defeat them. In addition, the land acquisition policy is very correct.
This time, our Shuntian Mansion also purchased 110,000 acres of land and distributed them all to the people. The people are grateful. Next year, those people will have land to plant. Some poor families, such as eight people, will be assigned 8 acres of land, 8 acres of land, and 10% of the tax will be paid, and the remaining 90% are their own, and they can support four people.
In addition, they planted other people's land and supported the family without any problem, so that the people would not think about treason. Anyway, I think the brother-in-law's idea was right this time, otherwise the emperor would not support his brother-in-law so much.
Anyway, the ministers above you are considering their own interests, and no one considers the interests of the people. Not to mention anything else, why don’t the people in the Jinyiwei now cheat the people’s money? Why?
That is because the Jinyiwei has money, they just investigate the information. Now the Jinyiwei dares not go out to eat the king's meal, nor dares to steal the money from the people. Once they are found out, they will be fired immediately. Who dares to do such a thing?
Zhang Hao was in the Jinyiwei, but that was deeply loved by the soldiers. Although his brother-in-law did not go to the Jinyiwei Yamen, no one dared to violate his brother-in-law's orders. This is prestige? It's much better than you!" Xu Fan sat there and said to Xu Jie.
When Xu Jie heard this, he looked at his son in surprise.
"Dad, anyway, I have learned something in Shuntian Prefecture, that is, to do things for the people. Dad, when you go downstairs, will the people welcome you? I will go and they will welcome me. I also want to ask them, are there any difficulties and what needs our government to solve?
My brother-in-law said very well. As an official, he will benefit the people! Since we have become this official, we need to consider it for the people!" Xu Fan stood there and continued to speak.
"Oh, you still have to go down now?" Xu Jie looked at Xu Fan curiously and asked.
"Of course, we need to know what difficulties the people have. In addition, we also need to check those reservoirs, those official roads, check whether there is any corruption, and check whether there is any bullying and domineering the market. Once discovered, we will respond immediately!
We are not afraid. If you have your brother-in-law here, whoever dares to provoke our authority will deal with them. Anyway, when we deal with those people, the people will applaud you!" Xu Fan continued to say to Zhang Hao.
"So, no one dares to be corrupt in the county magistrates below?" Xu Jie looked at Xu Fan and continued to ask.
"Who dares to be corrupt? Now our Shuntian Mansion has a bonus, which is about twice the salary. This is agreed by the emperor. We are taking such a high salary and we are still corrupt. Are we stupid?" Xu Fan continued to say to Xu Jie.
"Oh, the bonus is twice the salary? Is that much?" Xu Jie asked immediately.
"Dad, when you were in the Ministry of Rites, you didn't know how much your annual salary and how much bonus you received in a year?" Xu Fan asked immediately.
"So, I have a lot of bonuses?" Xu Jie looked at Xu Fan inexplicably and asked. His salary was received by Liang.
"Your bonus and various subsidies are more than five times your salary!" Xu Fan looked at Xu Jie and said.
"So many?" Xu Jie looked at Xu Fan in shock.
"You think we are still a small number of people. Anyway, the officials in the court, especially the officials of the Sixth Ministry, have very high incomes, but those Qingshui Yamen have no money.
But the Sixth Ministry controls real power, but they control real power, and they don’t want to benefit the people, but they just want to be corruption. I have talked to the county magistrates. They look down on the officials of the Sixth Ministry. They say that being an official here is comfortable, there are not so many bad things, and there is no need to think about how to curry favor with your boss. If you do the work well, your brother-in-law will know that you should make an offer.
Anyway, I feel that these county magistrates will be promoted after they are in this position at most, and at least they are the Tongzhi and the magistrates. They must be promoted one level, and some may even be promoted two levels!" Xu Fan sat there and spoke.
"How do you know?" Xu Fan immediately stared at Xu Fan and asked.
"My brother-in-law is here. The emperor also knows those achievements. Shouldn't we promote officials who are capable and not corrupt? Even if it is possible to give them, of course, the prefectures and magistrates. In this case, there will be 9 places that are safe and there will be no corruption. The emperor now hates corruption. He doesn't want the local government to be well managed?" Xu Fan looked at Xu Jie and said,
When Xu Jie heard this, he touched his beard and nodded. He did not expect that Zhang Hao was still cultivating his own team. All of these teams were factual. Jiajing would definitely like such officials, and it was really as Xu Fan said. Jiajing would definitely pay attention to it at that time.
"You don't have to worry about your brother-in-law's side, what offends those civil officials? Humph, do they have the qualifications? If your brother-in-law doesn't take action, once you take action, there will probably be many officials who will fall to the ground. At that time, many places will be vacant. From below, those honest officials will be brought up from behind and do it a few times. There will probably be no more corrupt officials in the court!" Xu Fan immediately smiled and said,
Chapter completed!
