Chapter 148: It's Dazed to Make People Bright
Fu Bi looked at the servants in Xu Ping's family standing there, and then looked at Ouyang Xiu, who was wearing an indecent appearance, frowned and said to him, "Uncle Yong, Xu is the minister of the court, and he is indifferent to the outside world, and has made contributions to the country. He specially sent someone to summon us to treat us with courtesy. You should also be more careful and not be so polite."
Ouyang Xiuhun didn't care and said, "Sheng also heard that the ancient wise men enjoyed the way and forgot the power of others. Therefore, if the princes and princes do not pay tribute to all their rites, they will not be able to see them quickly. You and I have the position of the palace and the court to raise scholars, they are all for a while. Xu Huaizhi, as a minister and is proficient in knowledge, would he care about these common rites!"
Cai Xiang on the side nodded repeatedly: "Uncle Yong is saying! Yanguo, you are thinking too much! The weather is hot, and it is like Uncle Yong, which is the true nature. We scholars, who communicate with each other through knowledge, why care about common etiquette!"
Although Fu Bi is not a stern and honest person like Gao Ruonne, he has always been polite and obedient. He really can't stand Ouyang Xiu's unconventional and unrestrained appearance. He turned his head to look at Yin Zhu who was silent beside him, shook his head helplessly and had to stop talking.
The last crowd was Ye Qingchen and Zeng Gongliang, with a relaxed expression and intentionally distanced themselves from everyone.
Ye Qingchen's father Ye Chan had served as the judge of the Ministry of Revenue a few days ago and went out to serve as a transfer envoy. Ye Qingchen no longer had to avoid his father's suspicion and could work in the third department. Xu Ping had already told him that he would come to manage the Dumo Investigation Department of the Third Department. This is another auditing agency that manages the entire Third Department. Xu Ping intends to slowly combine the Dumo Investigation Department and the various departments to become a general audit yamen in the future. Such a yamen has a broad future, so Ye Qingchen naturally knows it.
Zeng Gongliang was the judge of the Ministry of Revenue who had already decided to take Ye Shen, and he was also from the Sansi.
Now, Kou Yu basically listens to Xu Ping's opinions on personnel appointments and removals in the Sansi Department. Only when Xu Ping has no candidates, he will think of other solutions. Slowly, Xu Ping began to use a younger generation of officials to fill important positions in the Sansi Department.
In addition to Ye Qingchen and Zeng Gongliang, Ji Ying has already taken over to the Ministry of Revenue. His appointment has the least resistance. Wang Zeng has fully supported him, and Xu Ping has pushed him below. He has enough ability and barely achieved his qualifications.
In the same year, Xu Ping had already recommended Wen Yanbo to summon the Bachelor's College to take the exam. He could go to Beijing for the exam without any surprises. Xu Ping had already left him the seat of the Duzhi Gouyuan.
When he reached the position of waiting, he could be considered as the center of power. With many conveniences, Xu Ping gradually began to make personnel arrangements. He could not manage other departments, and at least he had to cultivate a group of his own people in the third department.
There were also changes in personnel at higher levels. Fan Zhongyan and Sima Chi came back to report the results of the inspection in Heyin County. Zhao Zhen was dissatisfied with the report and did not answer the order. It was difficult to hit the two of them, and Han Yi's position as the chief censor of the Censor was not guaranteed.
After fighting against each other, Han Yi left the Censorate, but was not demoted to the other party, but was promoted to the position of Tongzhi Privy Council.
After Yang Chongxun was demoted from the capital, the Privy Council once again restored the full position of the fourth deputy chief and deputy chief. In addition to being the deputy chief envoy of the Privy Council, Wang Deyong also served as the Southern Xuanhui Court.
The position of the Censor Central Chief is tentatively scheduled to be taken over by the Privy Councillor Du Yan, the right censor, and he is rushing to the capital from the Tianxiong Army. No accident, he can hand over to Han Yi before the end of July.
Xu Ping has not had much contact with people of that level, so he can only look up to him silently.
Sitting in the pavilion, Xu Ping casually flipped through the latest book of money and law on the table. Zheng Jian sat aside and took a book of Tang in his hand. The book of Tang was compiled in the Later Jin Dynasty. It was relatively complicated, but it had rich historical materials. It was the best choice to understand the history of the Tang Dynasty at this time.
After these time exhibitions, many officials in the court saw that some of the currency nature of the Sansi shopping coupons were not just Ouyang Xiu. However, others were relatively cautious in their discussions, and they were mostly related to the Jiaozi in Xichuan. Ouyang Xiu was more bold and pointed out that shopping coupons were different from Jiaozi, and Jiaozi was just money, and paper coupons were one by one corresponding to physical currency. However, shopping coupons were different, and there was no real money as a book, which corresponded to the goods in Sansi shop. Compared with Jiaozi, shopping coupons were more of the nature of credit currency.
It is precisely because of this that Ouyang Xiu proposed that shopping coupons do not require capital, so why not use them directly instead of real money? The imperial court lacks copper, so it is easy to print shopping coupons. As long as there is enough goods in the shop, it will not depreciate.
Originally, normal people should go through this step and analyze it carefully. Ouyang Xiu was different. He came to the conclusion directly. What he thought must be right, so if he didn't do what he thought, it must be, "Those who are in charge of the matter are not wise!" Xu Ping, the person in charge of the matter, is not capable of doing it.
While watching, Xu Ping analyzed the various opinions in the book.
The launch of shopping vouchers at that time was a temporary measure to transition to banknotes arranged by Xu Ping. Through such a new thing, everyone can understand and discuss the nature of banknotes and summarize their experience in managing banknotes. They have a thorough understanding of shopping vouchers. By the day when the real banknote is launched, everything will come naturally and minimize chaos.
It seems that the officials in the morning had just begun to analyze and understand the shopping vouchers, and there was still a long way to go thoroughly. Originally, Ouyang Xiu was the first to take a big step forward, but his frivolity in his thoughts restricted him. Not only did he not lead the discussion, but he was more like a mess.
The impact of Kaifeng City is still too small, which not only limits the role of shopping vouchers, but also limits everyone's vision. Next, you must let the shopping vouchers cover the west and west routes of Jingdong along with the Sansi's shop as soon as possible.
Two roads plus one Kaifeng Prefecture are almost the traditional Central Plains. In this era, this market was already large enough and the population was large enough. You can see the advantages and disadvantages of any economic measures clearly.
When they arrived outside the pavilion, Ouyang Xiu and Cai Xiang, who were chatting and laughing all the way, couldn't help but feel a little nervous when they saw Xu Ping sitting there quietly, and they couldn't help but tidy up their appearance. However, Ouyang Xiu's mouth was stubborn, and his open clothes still did not cover up, looking quite indecent.
Gao Ruonai, who was on one side, looked at him and frowned tightly. What kind of morality does scholars have to be so ignorant? How can this be? Ouyang Xiu has always regarded himself as following the Taoist tradition of Mencius Han Yu? How can he be like this?
Mencius talked about benevolence, his own nature, and his great spirit. Compared with other Confucian schools, he really did not pay much attention to these subtitles. Ouyang Xiu was young and vigorous, and he was motivated to change his roots and encourage him.
Everyone walked forward, greeted Xu Ping, and greeted Zheng Jian.
Xu Ping looked at Ouyang Xiu standing in front of the crowd, with his outer robe open and his shoes under his feet half exposed, and he smiled and said to him, "Why, the weather is so hot? Can't even wear clothes?"
Ouyang Xiu said: "It's already the weather in the dog days, and it's really hot."
"You are gathering in the outdoor garden. I told someone to send a few buckets of ice to relieve you of the heat. Why? No one has sent it? Or is it not enough?"
Ji Ying, who has never spoken much, said: "Yunxing, Uncle Ouyang Yong is this weird temper. What does it have to do with whether the weather is hot or not? There are many ice in the buckets! Fu Yanguo just said that Uncle Yong is so indecent, and he replied that if the prince does not pay tribute to him, he will not be able to see wise men in a hurry. It is not just hot weather!"
Although Ji Ying is not talking much, he has always been straightforward and has a very tough temper. He has never been scruples about what others think it is hard to say. Many people offend, but many people appreciate it. Ouyang Xiu is more weird than him. If he doesn't like him, he will never worry about face and will not say anything.
"Oh" Xu Ping then realized that Ouyang Xiu was putting on airs here. "Uncle Yong, can you read Mencius in your spare time?"
Ouyang Xiu said with a high spirit: "Of course! I have been studying since I was a child and have been the most attentive in Mencius. I have been familiar with all the eleven articles. Not only can I recite them like a stream, but I also study every sentence carefully."
Xu Ping nodded, picked up the money-related book on the stone table, and said to Ouyang Xiu: "You said in this book that the person who is in charge of the matter is unwise! I think about it, I am the one who is in charge of the matter."
Ouyang Xiu shut up and said nothing, which is the default.
Xu Ping said calmly, "The Master said, do I have Zhihu? I am ignorant. I have a vulgar man asking me, and I am as lofty as I am. I knocked on both ends and exhausted it. Since Uncle Yong said this, it must be reasonable. The reason is the truth. After listening to me, I can increase my wisdom and implement good governance in the country, and I have to listen."
Ouyang Xiu frowned, and his heart suddenly felt a little nervous. He had contacted Xu Ping several times, and it seemed that he had not gained the upper hand. This time, Xu Ping lowered his posture. Is it true that he said or not
After thinking about it, Ouyang Xiu was puzzled and whispered: "A wise man has a thousand thoughts, and a foolish man has a thousand thoughts, and a gain. The wise man is a wise man, and perhaps it is just a mistake by accident, and he practices a chance gain."
"The Master said, if three people walk, there must be my teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. You don't have to be humble, and say hundreds of words to me. Today, as you say in this article, if I have different opinions, I will ask you. If you think different, just ask, is it okay for us to explain clearly?"
At this point, what else can Ouyang Xiu say? He had to nod and agree: "Leave the orders to be done."
Xu Ping looked at Ouyang Xiu, suddenly smiled and said to him: "Do you remember that Meng has another saying? He said that he is a good teacher."
Ouyang Xiu felt that it was not good and couldn't help but feel a sudden striking: "I wonder which sentence I am saying?"
"The wise man makes people look so bright, and now makes people look so bright." The smile on Xu Ping's face slowly dissipated, "Ouyang Xiu, I am a minister in charge of the Salt and Iron Department. I know that I have a high position and power. I accidentally neglected it. The superiors are not in line with the country, and the subordinates are sorry to the people. Every move and every decree is repeated and trembling. The seven words you are in charge of is unwise and very heavy. Do you understand it?" To be continued.
