Chapter 59 Local Conflicts

There was a plate of mulberries and a plate of bayberry on the table. It had just been washed and looked so savory. Tao Shiqi picked up one from time to time and put it in his mouth, eating it with relish. Tangzhou is in the south, and the fruits are different from those in the north. These things are very fresh in Tao Shiqi's eyes.

Du Zhongxiao read the official documents brought back by Tao Shiqi and handed them over to Su Song, saying, "It seems that although there are not many households in Ye County, it is not easy to build a mining smelting. In a few days, there will be fewer things here, so let's go there together."

Tao Shiqi said: "What the officials said is that there are so many troubles! A few days ago, we were just looking for mines everywhere, but nothing happened. Recently, the court has decided to build an railway supervision, and also to choose a site to build an official office and a site construction business. Suddenly, many people came out to seek advantage."

Du Zhongxiao said: "There are many people under Fangcheng Mountain, and there are not many people, so where can there be many disputes!"

Tao Shiqi shook his head repeatedly: "The officials don't know. When it comes to the word "money", someone can think of any way. We chose the place for iron smelting, twenty miles east of the county town. There were not many families there, and within a radius of ten miles, only sixty or seventy families. In order to avoid trouble, I wanted to move them all, rebuild the land for them in the northern plains, rebuild the houses, and subsidize the money and grain. It was said that the villagers didn't know who was bewitching them, and suddenly stopped moving, saying that it was difficult to leave the ancient land, but they just wanted money. How could this be done? There was no way, so I had to move north for five or six miles to avoid the people's households, and it was all wasteland in the mountains. As a result, some people said that there was an ancient tomb from the ancestors, and they were entangled."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "This is something that people can be bewitched? They heard that the court has allocated a lot of money, and who doesn't want to get a share of the pie? As long as the local government deals with this matter, they can give appropriate subsidies, and they cannot speak out."

Tao Shiqi said: "Forget it, if the officials don't go, how dare we be the master? It's okay if Ye County is transferred to the Iron Supervision in the future. Now under the rule of Ruzhou, there is a dispute with the people. Who can afford to blame the magistrate?"

Du Zhongxiao and Su Song looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. Tao Shiqi was talking about the truth. Not to mention the small officials, they would not make trouble even if they went there by themselves. Now the governor of Ruzhou is Zhao Ji. His father moved south from the Khitan. He was a Jinshi. Zhao Ji was a modest and kind person. He was a censor many times and was not afraid of the powerful. Before coming to Ruzhou, he was the deputy envoy of salt and iron, and mining and smelting was his business.

If it is normal, Zhao Ji will not be difficult to speak. But the problem is that he is sick now and comes to Ruzhou to recuperate. He cannot do anything under the control of the matter. He has a dispute with the people. According to his previous style, he is afraid that he will protect the people indiscriminately. Zhao Ji's status, Du Zhongxiao, a judge in the transfer of luck, dare not resist. He has no energy to figure it out, so he can only hide.

As an official, you will encounter many such funny things. When facing a good official who is praised by the upper and lower levels, you will be prone to conflicts. If you argue, it is reasonable for you to be a part of the body and may not have the upper hand.

There was no choice but to go there in person, divide Ye County into place as soon as possible, and establish an Iron Supervisor, so that things would be much easier.

Tao Shiqi said again: "There is another one. A few days ago, we found a graphite mine in the southern mountain. The mountain is not tall or steep, and the ore deposit is exposed, which is very easy to mine. I thought that with graphite, it can be used to make crucibles and make steel. But I didn't expect that on that hillside, several families put tussert silkworms, saying that it has been the place where they raise silkworms since ancient times, which is extremely difficult to deal with."

Du Zhongxiao sighed: "Okay, I understand. After a few days, I will have a look here, so I will go there in person. You are now blocked everywhere, nothing more than the monsters and monsters in the local area. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the imperial court to set up an iron prison and prepare to mine and smelify, it is not a big deal."

The seventeen small officials who were as big as sesame and green beans did not take them seriously at all. The area was at the junction of several counties, with high mountains and far away emperors, and the county rulings were certainly not something they could do. Several sloppy officials colluded with local big households, so they were restrained everywhere.

At this time, it is useless to give money and benefits. No matter how much money you compensate, it cannot be in the hands of ordinary people, and it can only benefit the powerful. If you want to open up the situation, you must first deal with the local monsters and monsters, and then make reasonable compensation to ordinary people, so that the problem can be solved.

Just like talking about graphite mines as silkworm farms, most of the ten people are not responsible for the people who release silkworms, but rather powerful households make trouble in their name. Those who honestly release silkworms and collect cocoons have enough money, so what else is hard to talk about?

Su Song put down the official document in his hand and said, "You haven't had many days in Ye County, and you don't want to do so many things. The official document is well organized, everything is well-founded, and the numbers are accurate, so you can understand it at a glance. It's very rare."

Tao Shiqi said: "I didn't write this. At that time, I went with me, and there was a new official named Luo Feng. Although this man was young, only seventeen or eighteen years old, he learned things very quickly. Especially when writing official documents, he was a good player. Now he is the head of our official and arranged things in an orderly manner. But he was too young and many old officials were dissatisfied."

Du Zhongxiao said: "When you were in Yongcheng, you were with me and you were only at this age. Who wouldn't accept it?"

Tao Shiqi smiled and said, "What's the same? At that time, there were officials everywhere around the officials, and the chief clerk and county magistrate gave him some shame."

Du Zhongxiao pondered for a while and said, "Now, everything is invented, and people need to be used everywhere. If there are really capable people, you will not use them again. When I go to Ye County, you will be with me with Luo Feng. If you are really capable, you will have a place to use him."

Tao Shiqixi said: "It's easy for the official to say this. This person is by my side and helps a lot. But I am a small official and low-ranking person, no matter what I am allowed to give him. If an official decides, he will have a future."

New careers and new systems, whether old officials or new people, must start learning again. In fact, it is not that young people learn quickly, but that old officials have heavy burdens. Many people cannot put down their airs and stick to the old system, which has become a stumbling block in the construction of the land business system. Du Zhongxiao has discovered that since he began to implement the new system and issued a booklet to let officials learn, many young people have emerged. It is a good thing for young people to emerge, but it is not good that this causes conflicts between new and old people, and then affects official affairs.

It cannot suppress the enthusiasm of young people, nor can it allow the elderly to passively confront each other. The measure between them is very difficult to handle. Du Zhongxiao's idea is to first make a few examples of young people neutral, to promote them, to be a role model, and to maintain the spirit of the entire team. Then find ways to promote the elderly, let them cooperate with the young people, and to set an example for others.

There are tens of thousands of boatmen who go to Jingxi Road to farm, and they need a large number of officials. They cannot be done by themselves and Su Song. Various yamen will be set up under the field business in the morning and evening, and officials will be set up. A large number of officials and personnel will cooperate. Only when the team is built can the things be done.

This is not a person. If you think of a solution, you will continue to implement it and do things well. Not to mention such a complicated thing, even if you are just a smelting iron, Du Zhongxiao's energy can only be used to mention a few key technical nodes, and the people below have to do things. This time, without Tao Shiqi's accompanying him, Du Zhongxiao could take care of Yingtian near Qingtai Town, and could not take care of the iron ore in Fangchengshan.

Whether it is farming or mining, Du Zhongxiao's approach is different from this era. He must cultivate talents from scratch. Now he has sent three booklets to officials for their own learning. It is just a rough screening, and then specialized training is required. Only by selecting talents that meet their own requirements can we talk about team building and do things quickly and well.
